📰 News we're reading
• Former Flagler Beach Fire Chief Robbie Creal Dies at 75 (flaglerlive.com) — Palm Coast and Flagler Beach residents are mourning longtime fire chief and historian Robbie Creal, who died at 75 after decades of public safety and museum service. Leaders from the Palm Coast Historical Society praised his gift for making local history feel personal and meaningful, noting his loss will be deeply felt across the area’s civic and historical communities. 
• No bond for Palm Coast woman accused of letting baby drown in toilet (news-journalonline.com) — A Palm Coast resident accused in the death of her newborn will remain jailed after a judge refused to reinstate her bond following a first-degree murder indictment. Defense attorneys argued she needs release for mental health treatment and trial preparation, but the judge ruled that under a capital murder charge she is not entitled to bond.
• Flagler County Blocks Old Brick Road Development Crossings (flaglerlive.com) — Flagler County commissioners are drawing a hard line to protect historic Old Brick Road, blocking new at-grade development crossings unless Palm Coast and a major west-side developer agree to substantial buffers. Their stance could reshape how Palm Coast’s long-discussed western expansion and future State Road 2209 evolve, prioritizing preservation and nature tourism over easy road access.
