"Lucille Ball is an outdoor sculpture of the American actress and comedian of the same name, originally sculpted by David Poulin and installed in Lucille Ball Memorial Park in Celoron, New York in 2009. The statue was deemed "scary" by residents, earning it nickname Scary Lucy. In 2016, the statue was replaced by one created by Carolyn Palmer. The new sculpture is known officially as New Lucy and colloquially as Lovely Lucy. First statue In 2009, a statue of Ball was displayed in her hometown of Celoron. The statue depicted the climactic scene from "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" in which Ball's character Lucy Ricardo hawks the alcohol-rich patent medicine Vitameatavegamin while under the effects of heavy dosage of the tonic. Residents noted the statue's deranged, androgynous expression, which bore little resemblance to Ball, earning it the nickname Scary Lucy. The statue garnered little outside attention until 2015, when images of the statue went viral and received international media coverage. The artist discussed fixing the statue with town officials, but claimed they wanted him to do it at his own expense. In 2015, Celoron's mayor said the town was looking to hire a different artist instead. Second statue On August 1, 2016, it was announced that a new statue of Ball would replace the original. Carolyn Palmer was unanimously chosen out of a national competition of more than 65 sculptors. She said in a statement, "I not only wanted to portray the playful, animated and spontaneous Lucy, but also the glamorous Hollywood icon" and "I just hope that all the Lucy fans are pleased and that Lucille Ball herself would have enjoyed this image of her." On August 6, 2016, the day that would have been Ball's 105th birthday, the replacement statue was revealed. Since Scary Lucy became a local tourist attraction after receiving media attention, it was placed 75 yards from its original location so visitors could visit both statues.

"Aghowle Church is a medieval church and National Monument in County Wicklow, Ireland. Location Aghowle Church is located southwest of Coolkenno, near some tributaries of the River Derreen. History It is claimed that a monastery was founded on the site by Finnian of Clonard in the 6th century. They lived in Clocháin (beehive huts) around a wooden church The placename derives from the Irish for "field of apple trees." The present church dates to c. 1100 and was in use by the Church of Ireland until 1716–17.http://www.countywicklowheritage.org/documents/Rathgall_and_Aghowle_Brochure_2008_2009.pdf Local legend tells of a "fugitive bell": apparently St Finnian erected a belfry at Aghowle, but later moved the bell to his other monastery at Clonard. One day it vanished and reappeared at Aghowle, and, despite several attempts at removing it, the bell kept on returning to Aghowle. Church Window detail The church is a long rectangular building with high gables of which the original north, east and west walls survive. The west doorway is lintelled on the outside and arched inside. It has Romanesque moulding on the outside and a draw-bar socket. Two round-headed windows in the east wall have hood mouldings on the outside supported by pillars. =St Finden's Cross= St Finden's Cross To the northeast of the church is a high imperforate ringed granite high cross, possibly unfinished, standing on a pyramidal base known as St Finden's Cross. There are sunken panels in the shaft and underneath the arms. It dates to approximately the 10th century. =Font= Located on the eastern side of the cross is a large granite baptismal font (130 × 73 cm; 4′3″ × 2′5″) which is believed to be pre-Norman. Local tradition claimed that water from the font could cure headaches. It is generally accepted that the use of fonts within churches became firmly established during the 12th century in Ireland, reflecting the move to a parochial and diocesan organisation of the church and the changes in liturgical conventions that this brought. It was required that the sacraments take place in a fixed baptistery inside a church. In the field to the southeast is a large bullaun stone.
