No arrests were made in the case, so it was made public. The old bell came back missing a few pieces, but it is back to the owners now.

ADAM EZRA GROUP AT MEDALLION
The Adam Ezra Group will be performing live on Friday, Nov. 18 at 8 p. m. at the Medallion Opera House, 20 Park Street, Gorham Town Hall. Doors will open at 7:30 p. m.
Adam Ezra Group ' s songwriting is making waves around the country. The co-write,“ Let Your Hair Down” with producers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta,( American Authors), just received " Song of the Year " at the New England Music Awards. A songwriting partnership with the legendary John Oates is taking Ezra back and forth between Nashville and tour. The theme song, " Grow Your Own Way," was central to Midwest insurance giant, Country Financial ' s 2014 / 15 marketing campaign. In addition, Adam Ezra ' s debut efforts in movie scoring have led to an appearance at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival and the release of Adam Ezra Group ' s new album, aptly titled, Songs for a Movie.
This 16 song marathon studio production is the culmination of three years of writing, planning, arranging, and recording for the independent film release, " Folk Hero & Funny Guy." Much of the writing and recording occurred while on tour; in hotel rooms, hallways, green rooms, and while literally driving the American highways often referenced within the album.
A tireless touring outfit, the Adam Ezra Group( AEG) played upwards of 200 shows in 2015, often devoting their time to local charities and always going out of their way to connect with fans. The Group is made up of lead singer, songwriter and guitarist, Adam Ezra, Alex Martin on drums, Turtle on percussion, Corinna Smith on fiddle, Francis Hickey on bass and Josh Gold on keys. Together they are creating a powerful, inclusive community around AEG shows that is beginning to be compared to a socialmovement as much as a traditional music fan-base. It ' s this dedication to fans that inspired the 2016 " Get Folked Concert Tour " in which Ezra ventured solo / acoustic to the homes of 30 fans in as many days and almost as many states to play house concerts throughout the entire month of January.
Ezra started his own nonprofit organization called Rally- Sound in order to better support fans and activists dedicated to making the world a better place. The proceeds from the video for the latest single“ Let Your Hair Down” are being donated toward micro-grants for cancer patients struggling to make ends meet while in treatment. The Adam
Ezra Group hosts a free festival each year called The Ramble. Last year over 3,000 people came out, and another 2,000 people tuned in via livestreaming from around the country and they raised money to help build a handicap accessible home for a wounded veteran.
Throughout the rest of 2016 The Adam Ezra Group will be on the road throughout The United States, playing music from Songs for a Movie, and working on their next studio release, slated to drop within the next year. Their goal: to reach as many people as possible while sharing their belief in the power of community and the human spirit.
Tickets are $ 20 and are available at Gorham Town Hall, White Mountain Café and at www. medallionoperahouse. org. This concert is sponsored by Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Coos County Family Health Services.
