The Brimfield Bells, a 2-1/2-octave handbell choir based at the First Congregational Church of Brimfield, recently took part in a special music exchange with the Quaboag
Chimers at Quaboag on the Common in West Brookfield.
The
chimers decided to give their first outside performance at The Birches because they have a special personal connection to The Birches community.
A few others have carillons with trained
chimers. Most, however, have but one bell, rung faithfully week by week by someone who has done it for many years.
(96) Shortly after Chimel was decided, lower courts tended to permit vehicle searches incident to arrest even if the area searched was not within the arrestee's immediate control; but as time went on, courts became more likely to examine the facts to determine if such searches were really valid according to
Chimers reasoning.
Caise Allen Brinkman and Matthew Bay Brinkman served as bell
chimers before the bride walked down the aisle.
She also volunteered at Quaboag on the Common helping with the Quaboag
Chimers Hand Chime Choir.
