Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. 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.

Keep in Mind: The Belle Terre Swim & Racquet Club is open, welcoming and taking new memberships, and if you enroll before Sept. 1, you’ll beat the price increase kicking in then. Experience the many amenities including a lap pool, wading pool, tennis/pickleball courts, sauna, and a modern wellness center–all for less than what you’d pay just for a fitness center at your typical commercial gym. Friendly staff is available to answer any questions you may have about becoming a member. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club is the sort of place where you can connect with fellow community members and experience the welcoming atmosphere that sets BTSRC apart. If you have any questions, feel free to call at 386-446-6717. If you would like to learn more about our club and membership options please visit online.
Liner notes: Close your eyes and listen to the opening movement–the opening bars–of the cantata below (“Dissipate, you troublesome shadows,” Bach’s BWV 202, written possibly for his own wedding to Anna Magdalena in December 1721, possibly not). “The cantata opens with a gentle rising cascade of arpeggios in the strings, suggesting flowers coming up and frozen brooks coming to life,” the notes to Amanda Forsythe’s album of the cantata say. “The oboe enters and soars above the strings, like the return of the
sun. Then the soprano arrives, banishing the shadows of winter.” The music and the words are one:
Give way now, dismal shadows,
Frost and wind, go to rest!
Flora’s delight
will grant our hearts
nothing but joyful fortune,
for she comes bearing flowers.
The delusion of Florida’s eternal summer makes this especially consoling: we are living a different kind of winter, and we can use any banishing of shadows we can get. Kajsa Dahlback of the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra is Emma Kirby-like in this interpretation, below. Mazel Tov.

Where are the vaunts, and the proud boasts with which you went forth? Where are your banners, and your bands of music, and your ropes to bring back your prisoners? Well, there isn’t a band playing—and there isn’t a flag but clings ashamed and lank to its staff.
— Walt Whitman, From Specimen Days (1882).
