The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

Palm Coast Farmers’ Market at European Village: The city’s only farmers’ market is open every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at European Village, 101 Palm Harbor Pkwy, Palm Coast. With fruit, veggies, other goodies and live music. For Vendor Information email [email protected]

Notably: Would you believe that Donald Duck is 90 today? The New York Times never thought fit to mark That Donald’s birthday, but it did mention it at the very bottom of a film review of “Sisters Under the Skin”  (“a happy-go-lucky piece of fiction that has breezed into Radio City Music Hall… endowed with original lines of thought… handsomely staged….sometimes touching a frivolous note”) when it noted, back in those days of double and triple features for a dime: “There is on the same program a New Walt Disney ‘Silly Symphony’ with two fresh characters–Donald Duck and Peter Pig. The feature is called ‘The Wise Little Hen’ and it has much of the charm and imagination of the other colored works.” We learn from Neal Gabler’s biography of Walt Disney that Donald was inspired by Clarence “Ducky” Nash, the voice actor who would be immortalized in Donald’s voice. Nash, Gabler writes, “credited Walt with extending Donald’s range and turning him into a personality by suggesting that Nash try being angry in the duck voice or laughing in it. Jack Hannah, who would later direct many of the Donald Duck cartoons, said that ‘Donald could be anything. He had every emotion a human being had. He could be cute, mischievous, go from warm to cool at any moment. You could half kill him and he’d come right back. He instigated trouble. Not mean, but he always saw a chance to have fun at other people’s expense.’ In short, Donald was the prime example of Walt’s caricatured reality and the first Disney star to be born full-blown from that aesthetic.”

Nearly all Americans are sensible and calm people. We do not get greatly excited nor is our peace of mind disturbed, whether we be businessmen or workers or farmers, by awesome pronouncements concerning the unconstitutionality of some of our measures of recovery and relief and reform. We are not frightened by reactionary lawyers or political editors. All of these cries have been heard before. […] In our efforts for recovery we have avoided on the one hand the theory that business should and must be taken over into an all-embracing Government. We have avoided on the other hand the equally untenable theory that it is an interference with liberty to offer reasonable help when private enterprise is in need of help. The course we have followed fits the American practice of Government – a practice of taking action step by step, of regulating only to meet concrete needs – a practice of courageous recognition of change. I believe with Abraham Lincoln, that “The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all or cannot do so well for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.” I still believe in ideals. I am not for a return to that definition of Liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradually regimented into the service of the privileged few. I prefer and I am sure you prefer that broader definition of Liberty under which we are moving forward to greater freedom, to greater security for the average man than he has ever known before in the history of America.

–From From FDR’s Fireside Chat, Sept. 30, 1934.

    As I view the optimistic artist staring into the abyss and seeing a happy face, the heat index shown on my weather app is 104 degrees.

    I am reminded of the Nietzsche quote: “He who fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
