Today at a Glance:

In Court: Luke Ingram’s lawyers will argue before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins their intent to rely on the insanity defense regarding Ingram’s killing of his grandfather on Claremont Court on Nov. 9, 2022. Ingram was 19 at the time. The motion will be argued at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. Ingram faces a first degree murder charge, a capital felony, a charge of rape, a life felony, a charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, a first degree felony, and three other charges. See: “Accused of Killing His Grandfather, Luke Ingram Now Faces 1st Degree Murder and Rape Charges.”

In Court: Flagler County government argues a motion for partial summary judgment in the Old Dixie Motel case at 8:30 a.m. before Circuit Judge Chris France in Courtroom 403 at the Flagler County courthouse. The county is seeking to demolish the derelict hotel after numerous, seemingly failed attempts to get two successive owners of the facility to rehabilitate it. See the motion here. Case 2021CA109.

In Court: A 9 a.m. hearing is scheduled before Circuit Judge Lee Marsh in Tallahassee in the case of Preddy v. DuPont, in which Rose Marie Preddy, a judge in the 7th Judicial Circuit, is challenging Scott DuPont’s eligibility as a candidate for judge in this August’s election. See: “Previously Disgraced Scott DuPont, Running Again for Judge, Offers Orwellian Explanation of His Bar Suspension.”




Palm Coast Planning Board: The board meets for a workshop presentation related to the city’s ongoing development of a new comprehensive plan, 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Separation Chat, Open Discussion: The Atlantic Chapter of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State hosts an open, freewheeling discussion on the topic here in our community, around Florida and throughout the United States, noon to 1 p.m. at its new location, Pine Lakes Golf Club Clubhouse Pub & Grillroom (no purchase is necessary), 400 Pine Lakes Pkwy, Palm Coast (0.7 miles from Belle Terre Parkway). Call (386) 445-0852 for best directions. All are welcome! Everyone’s voice is important. For further information email [email protected] or call Merrill at 804-914-4460.

Weekly Chess Club for Teens, Ages 9-18, at the Flagler County Public Library: Do you enjoy Chess, trying out new moves, or even like some friendly competition?  Come visit the Flagler County Public Library at the Teen Spot every Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. for Chess Club. Everyone is welcome, for beginners who want to learn how to play all the way to advanced players. For more information contact the Youth Service department 386-446-6763 ext. 3714 or email us at [email protected]

The Circle of Light Course in Miracles study group meets at a private residence in Palm Coast every Wednesday at 1:20 PM. There is a $2 love donation that goes to the store for the use of their room.   If you have your own book, please bring it.  All students of the Course are welcome.  There is also an introductory group at 1:00 PM. The group is facilitated by Aynne McAvoy, who can be reached at [email protected] for location and information.






Notably:  “We cannot, for example,” writes Jonathan Schell in The Fate of the Earth, “say in any simple or unqualified sense that the end of the world is bad and its continuation good, because mankind is not in itself good or evil but is the source of both, providing the theatre in which good and evil actions appear as well as the actors by whom they are all enacted. (No stone, tree, or lion ever did anything either good or evil.) Neither can we say that mankind is useful. For to whom are we of any use? Human life is not needed by someone somewhere; rather, it is the seat of need, and need is one of the modes of our being.” Discuss.

—P.T.

“The foundation of a common world is an exclusively human achievement, and to live in a common world to speak and listen to one another, to read, to write, to know about the past and look ahead to the future, to receive the achievements of past generations, and to pass them on, together with achievements of our own, to future generations, and otherwise to participate in human enterprises that outlast any individual life is part of what it means to be human, and by threatening all this nuclear weapons threaten a part of our humanity. The common world is not something that can be separated from the life we now live; it is intrinsic to our existence- something as close to us as the words we speak and the thoughts we think using those words. Descartes’s amous axiom “I think, therefore I am” has perhaps been more extensively rebutted than any other single philosophical proposition. The rebuttal by Lewis Mumford happens to amount to a description of each person’s indebtedness to the common world and to the common biological inheritance that the common world has brought to light. “Descartes forgot that before he uttered these words ‘I think’ . … he needed the coöperation of countless fellow-beings, extending back to his own knowledge as far as the thousands of years that Biblical history recorded, Mumford writes in “The Pentagon of Power,” a book published in 1970. “Beyond that, we know now he needed the aid of an even remoter past that mankind too long remained ignorant of: the millions of years required to transform his dumb animal ancestors into conscious human beings.” In our long and arduous ascent out of biological darkness, it seems, we forgot our indebtedness to the natural world of our origins, and now, in consequence, threaten to plunge ourselves into an even deeper darkness. The nuclear predicament is thus in every sense a crisis of life in the common world. Only because there is a common world, in which knowledge of the physical world accumulates over the generations, can there be a threat to the common world and to its natural foundations. Only because there is a common world, which permits us knowledge of other generations and of the terrestrial nature of which human life is a part, can we worry about, or even know of, that threat. And only because there is a common world can we hope, by concerting our actions, to save ourselves and the earth.”

–From Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth (1982)..
