-were treated to an ice cream feast, which went over well, cons:idering the SO-plus degree temperatures. 1I I "It was wicked hot," said Brighton High School sru­ dent Kent Lin as he gobbled down his treat Jeff Clement, another Brighton High student, said he was linitially reluctant to participate. However, after the event ended, he had clearly changed hi s mind. ''I'm glad I did it now," he said, "because we're part of Brighton history!" Tho Living Flag was a re-creation of an identical event exactly 100 years ago, in 1907, when 400 Brighton school children assembled in Wilson's Park to commem­ orate Brighton's centennial. Boston Mayor and Kennedy family patriarch John ''Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald spoke at the event. Though the two events were the same in terms of spirit and strucrure, the wide variety of languages, ethrticities and religious denominations represented on Friday showed just how much Allston has transformed in 100 years, from a primarily Anglo-Irish enclave into one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Boston. ''It was great to see all the kids come together from all over Allston-Brighton," said Jennifer Doyle, parent of a Wmship School srudent.

Here's a big thumbs up to the ix individu­ als who are to be honored by A-B's Unsung Heroes Awards Committee at a ceremony on June 7. In this week's TAB, we profile Louise Bonar and Linda Grego­ rio, but we'll continue our series for the next two weeks with features on landscape designer Kolletta Kaspar, who's been involved in everything from the YMCA to the Brighton-Allston Parade; Mary McCluskey, who vol­ L7 unteers at the Ulin House and the Heritage Museum, among other things; Donna Cence who reaches out to the sick and frail; and Alexander Rosin, who's done more than his share at the Commonwealth Tenants Associa­ tion. Kudos to these folks, and keep reading the TAB to find out more about them. We'd also, however,like to take a moment here to give kudos to the folks who resurrected the Unsung He­ roes Awards, including Bill Margolin. When the Healthy Boston Coalition folded last year, it looked like it would be the end of the awards, but Margolin and thers made sure that didn't happen.

Not your 's Pop Rock music, 'Idol' contest .. andfistfights help redefine ,.. i the old Boston orchestra

ook'em while they're young. It's the unspoken motto of The Boston Pops who are actively trying to book chil­ H dren ... on classical music. They are doing it by collaborating with rock musicians, with an "American Idol" -type competition and MUSIC with comedy. FRANCIS MA And the man leading the crusade to make classical music a viable force in an iPod-centric world is conductor Keith Lockhart, who is armed with an engllging personal­ ity and a surprising sense of humor. "We don't want to totally change what the Pops does," says Lockhart, who is entering his 13th year as the Pops conductor. "We want to break the image of the Pops as being conservative. [Actually,] we occasionally have fistfights."

, W e want to break the image of the Pops as being conservative. [Actually.] we occasionally have fisffights." - Keith Lockhart

Lockhart's joke refers to the incident that occurred on May 9 during Opening Night of the Pops season when a fight broke out between two men in the second balcony. One guy was talking too loud. The other guy didn't ap­ preciate it. Soon, chairs were thrown, shirts were ripped and a scream echoed through Symphony Hall, forcing Lockhart to halt the per.fonnance in the middle of a "Gigi" medley. The only other times he stopped a perfor­ mance was for medical emergencies. "I just heard a commotion and as the conductor, the best thing to do is just keep going;' says Lockhart.
