Keep in Mind: The Flagler Youth Orchestra Strings Program, a special project of the Flagler County School District, is launching its eighteenth season.

An open house and information session will be held August 31 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium, 5500 State Road 100, in Palm Coast. Flagler County’s public, private, charter and home-schooled students, 8 years old and older, may sign up to play violin, viola, cello, or double bass. Beginner, intermediate and advanced musicians are welcome. Tuition is free. Limited instrument scholarships are available. Students will learn about the enriching world of classical music and many other genres while receiving comprehensive string instruction in a player-friendly environment twice a week after school. One-hour classes are held at Indian Trails Middle School on Mondays and Wednesdays between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m., depending on your child’s time slot. Some scheduling restrictions apply. Attend the August 31st orientation at the Flagler Auditorium to learn more about the strings program and how to get started.

Flagler Undercover: Following up on the amazing drug bust enabled by Joe Mullins, the county commissioner, a reader writes: “Apparently highly experienced narcotics detectives didn’t know how to discuss a potential drug deal with an 18-year-old kid.  They were ready to give up.  But Mullins convinced them he could make it happen so they asked him to try again because this was something they didn’t know how to do.  And guess who got the job done on the very next text?  Flagler County’s very best undercover narcotics agent. This fall on NBC.  He’s a County Commissioner in recovery.  Now law-enforcement has turned to him to single-handedly end a drug epidemic in the community.  On Mondays, he bangs the gavel.  The rest of week, he takes the texts as a volunteer drug agent who gets all the unsolicited calls from total strangers offering felony sales amounts of narcotics.  It’s Flagler Undercover. ”

Hands–how I used to love my own hands. At the ages of twelve or thirteen, sexuality just beginning, and narcissism.
Lying on my bed in my tiny dormered room in Hammond Falls, with its slant ceiling and Joe Namath poster, I would stare at my hands and flutter my fingers, and slowly twirl them in the dust-spangled air, the creased palms and freckled backs, and dive-bomb with them and soar, flaring one upward like a space rocket flattening into the stratosphere for its toss to the moon. I would ponder their articulation, their involuntary grace, their jointed sensitivity and prehensile strength. My fingerprints, unique in the world, in all those billions living and dying. When I asked–when that imperious voice enthroned at the back of my skull asked–my hands obediently became little dancing men, or firing
pistols, or butterflies, or fists. They were always with me. The closest me I could see at will, without a mirror–emissaries my inner monarch would some day send out to grip and mold the world.

–From John Updike’s Toward the End of Time (1997).
