On this parcel of land, from 1816 unt.11 the late 1830s, the first regular state fair In Massachusetts was held, • the Brighton Fair and Cattle Show, conducted under the auspices of the Massachusetts Society WINSHIP SCHOOL, BRIGHTON, MASS. for Promoting Agriculture. Every October, thousands of tanners and livestock raisers gathered at this location to celebrate the state's flourishing agricultural and livestock-raising economy and to recognize the most accomplished practitioners of those occupations with a variety of ribbons and cash prizes. In 1818, a Greek Revival style exhibition bullctlng, Agricultural Hall~ was erected on the site. After the discontinuance of the Brighton Fair and Cattle Shows, Agricultural Hall was removed to Brl&hton Center, where It stll stands at the southeast comer of~ Street and Chestnut Hiii Avenue. The Winship Elementary School has occupied two structures at the Dighton Street location. The first of these, a wooden building with a dlstkM:tlve tower, w• constructed In the 1860s, but It soon proved Inadequate to the needs of a growing comrncnty. It was replaced In 1899 by the cunent, much larger and more Imposing Renaissance Revival style structure, designed by the architectural firm of Whtbnan Be Hodd. We see It here In a postcard --··~ ' view dating from about 1910. Note the unpaved • i street, the horse-drawn vehicle to the left, and the students gathered just outside the doorway. By the 1920s, the schooH!Ce population of Brighton having again grown beyond the capacity of the building, a flat-roofed third story was added and • the bulldlng's handsome gables were taken down, giving the structure Its cunent somewhat truncated appearance.

  • KILLING BONO a Nick Hamm Film
    KILLING BONO A Nick Hamm Film Production Notes Due for Release in UK: 1st April 2011 Running Time: 114 mins Killing Bono | Production Notes Press Quotes: Short Synopsis: KILLING BONO is a rock n’ roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980’s music scene… whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. Long Synopsis: Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes) always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan), determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul (Martin McCann) has turned into ‘Bono’. Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success.

  • Narnia Melts Reviewer's Heart
    February 10, 2006 Narnia melts reviewer’s heart w Maheen Nageeb w Staff Writer The greatly anticipated blockbuster The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, a film based on the books by C.S. Lewis, hit the big screens Dec. 9, taking first place in the box office on the first .day Although a great fan of The Chronicles of Narnia series, I wasn’t one of the many people rushing to the theaters to catch the first show. I was under the impression that the PG rating meant that this movie would be targeted at little kids and therefore wouldn’t hold my interest or attention. After finally having seen the movie, I feel sheepish for ever having even thought such a thing. Just as the written story The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe had captured my heart and soul so many years ago as a little child, the film, under the direction of Andrew Adamson, rekindled its magic within me once again, even as a brooding 16-year-old. The movie stays surprisingly true to the book, although there are some added scenes that prolong the movie to the oh-so- reasonable length of 140 minutes as well as allowing the cinematographers to showcase their talents. These scenes consist of the fire in Tumnus the faun’s place, the frozen animals and the elaborate battle sequences to name a few. The setting and scenery in the movie is perfectly breathtaking, to say the least, and the actors were born to play their respective parts: their looks, their posture, their style.

LOVE ARRIVES 8. DEATH COMES TOO SOON 9. JACK'S IMPACT 10. LEARNING LINKS The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of books that have made C. S. Lewis a perennial favorite of children, have their roots in Northern Ireland. Jack never lost his boyhood love of Northern Ireland - especially his County Down - even after he moved permanently to The Kilns in Oxford. He once told a friend "Heaven is Oxford placed into County Down." While still a youngster, Jack studied briefly at Campbell College, in Belfast, before his father sent him to boarding school in England. But that was after his mother died and before he wrote about the place where fantastic childhood imaginings had come alive in his own mind. The "Wardrobe," in the Chronicles of Narnia, was real only for him at that early date. Not until later would his imaginings come alive not just for himself, but for millions of children throughout the world. Jack left for England, his faith shaken by his mother’s death. And it was in England, at the boarding school, where the future Christian apologist, C. S. Lewis, lost his faith altogether: He had, in fact, become an atheist.

  • Irish Movies: a Renaissance

There is an "Irish spring" happening in the cin- ema, but it has nothing lo do with Colgate-Palmo- live or bath soap. These are just a few of the major Irish films that have been accessible to American audiences in theaters during the 199O's. Many are available on video, as are a score of other titles from the last decade, some familiar, some not. like "Cal," "Mona Lisa," "The Field," "Hear My Song," "The Playboys." "The Commitments," "The Snapper," "Widow's Peak," "Frankie Starlight," "Circle of Friends," "Into the West." They're all "Irish" in the sense that they're about the Irish, substantially pro- duced in Ireland, and/or (more and more common- ly) created by Irish companies and talent. "Frankie Starlight," for example, is produced by Irishman Noel Pearson but adapted from American Chet Raymo's novel. The Dork of Cork. It's abtuit a dwarf who grows up in lieland after World War II, the son of a Frenchwoman and an American G.I., discovers astronomy, becomes a famous author and finds true love. It was made mostly in Ireland with an international cast directed by Michael Lindsay- Hogg, who. although English, is the accomplished son (he directed the "Brideshead Revisited" minis- eries for British television) of the durable Irish-bom actress Géraldine Fitzgerald.

  • The Rector Writes…. to Me One of the Most Moving Encounters with Jesus
    The Rector writes…. To me one of the most moving encounters with Jesus recorded in the Gospels is when a number of Greeks, we are told, approached the disciples in northern Galilee with the words “Sir, we would see Jesus?” What lay behind that? Evidently, the fame of Jesus had spread to their community and they travelled to learn more. They had heard that this man and his message were important and mattered to them. Is the question “Sir, we would see Jesus?” one that we would ask, does the question resonate with us today? Well I hope it does and I am sure it does for anyone reading this editorial! But can Jesus be found and is it possible to know more about him? This coming month March sees the beginning of Lent, rather late this year, it has to be said! Easter Sunday this year is not until 24 April…the latest possible day for Easter is 25 April. For those who like to know these things the next Easter Sunday on 24 April is 2095 and for 25 April 2038! Back to “Sir we would see Jesus?” yes we can see Jesus or at least find out more about him and so meet him better in prayer and meditation. How? Well, as I say, Lent approaches us when we remember Our Lord‟s time in the Wilderness, and, as usual, we will be having Lent Groups which provide a marvelous opportunity to find out more about our faith in Jesus. Ash Wednesday is on Wednesday 9 March so on Wednesday afternoons thereafter there will be a Lent Group meeting in the Rectory, using the new York course “Rich Inheritance: Jesus‟ Legacy of Love” and there will be a Lent course in Churchstoke too (details elsewhere in the Churchstoke section) “Sir we would see Jesus? “can also be answered in the new Bishop of Ludlow‟s course “Marking Lent”, copies of which the Rector has.
