'Skyfall', with Agent 007, Next FOLA Action Movie July 6

 

FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) will offer the film, 'Skyfall', as its next movie on Saturday, July 6 at 7 PM at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium.

 

Skyfall is the twenty-third James Bond film produced by Eon Productions - and the 50th anniversary of the Agent 007 series.

Skyfall reintroduces Daniel Craig as James Bond. The British Secret Intelligence Service have assigned him the task of nabbing a dangerous criminal and Bond finds himself chasing the assailant through crowded streets by foot, in car and even on dirt bike. Covered by a junior agent named Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris), Bond eventually traps the man on top of a moving train but when a last minute order from M (Judi Dench) comes in, Bond is accidentally shot and presumably left for dead.

 

After months of being off the radar, 007 is forced to come out of hiding when a top secret hard drive is accidently leaked from one their operatives, leaving M and the entire MI6 force facing closure. Bond learns that the information on the drive includes the identities of hundreds of secret agents posing as terrorists in various insurgent outputs around the world. Not only are the lives hundreds of these operatives in danger, but after a string of bombings and close calls it becomes clear who the real target of these attacks is.

 

The mission to find the threat and destroy it leads Bond to Shanghai, where he meets the gorgeous but troubled show girl Sévérine (Bérénice Marlohe). She winds up being the link to finding the mastermind (Javier Bardem) behind the attacks and when the men come face to face, 007 is forced to prove once and for all how true his loyalty to M and the secret service really is.

 

The film is open to everyone and is free; donations are appreciated. Free popcorn will be available courtesy of Berkshire Bank.

Blue Spruce Inn

Last night a meeting was held by the Planning Commission to hear the newly appointed Rev. Pastor John Longworth discuss the plans for the Blue Spruce Inn.

Approximately 25 people attended, who voiced their continued concerns about turning the Blue Spruce Inn into a haven for ex-convicts, felons and people (male

or female) who have committed crimes to support a drug or drinking problem.

 

Will Hunter also attended the meeting and revealed his "revised" concept to provide a home to transition young women from foster homes. However, he went on

to mention also providing homes for women arrested for minor offenses such as shoplifting.

 

The Pastor indicated that the Church has run out of funds to support the Blue Spruce Inn, and wishes to transfer the property to a non-profit organization, or sell it

on the commercial market.

 

It was made clear by the Planning Commission, that once the property is transferred or sold to another owner, that owner could do as they wish with the property,

without approval by the Planning Commission, or a vote by the town.

 

It seems the only non-profit organization the Pastor is speaking to so far is Will Hunter's group.

 

In my view, any project at the Blue Spruce Inn to help the down-trodden, would require significant investment in renovations, and continued funding to keep it

going. Most importantly, it would require competent, professional staff and support people. To try to accomplish this "on the cheap" with volunteers, would insure

failure.

 

At the conclusion of the meeting it was suggested to give advance notice to all of the townspeople of Mt. Holly to have another open meeting with a much larger

audience and the Pastor.(In approximately one month.)

 

Anyone who has a good idea for the Blue Spruce Inn, and a way to fund the idea should bring it to the next meeting and prepare a proposal to Pastor Longworth

who will submit it to the Synod for approval.

 

After the property is transferred or sold it may be too late to influence what goes on there.
