The Percy Shelley sonnet "England in 1819" inspired the name for electro-wave group England in 1819. "Our expansive songs are reminiscent of a faraway place and time. It's not so much about the meaning of the poem as just the title and what it means to us," says the band's Dan Callaway.

England is closer to heart than just the group's name for Dan and his brother, Andrew. It's home. Growing up in Northampton, England, Dan gained an admiration for horns and orchestral music. "They used to have brass bands in the park at the gazebos," says French horn player and songwriter Dan. After attending these performances, the Callaways both pursued school band when they moved to the States Dan picked up violin and clarinet while Andrew learned piano. They both played trombone. The brothers' bevy of instrumental knowledge can be attributed to their father's role as band director.

When the Callaways moved to the States, they settled in Baltimore, Md., the birthplace of synth-pop and indie-rock inspirations Beach House, Future Islands, and Wye Oak. "Andy and I have different influences, but that's a set group that we both agree on," says Dan. However, while his brother has always been into electronic music like acid house Squarepusher, Dan was testing out the classical waters, later joining the New Orleans symphony. He occasionally rebelled with punk simply because it was the opposite of what was expected. The two eventually parted ways and reconvened in Baton Rouge, La.

The brothers don't just differ in music tastes but personalities as well. While Dan prefers the hustle and bustle of touring and meeting new people, Andrew is content with spending a summer in a remote cabin in the woods. And that's exactly what the band did when they recorded Fireball Electric Tomorrow in the mountains outside of Asheville, N.C. "We made friends with a girl whose parents had a cabin, and she gave us a key and said we could stay there if we wanted to get away and write music," says Dan. "I mean, it wasn't like The Shining or anything. We went to town if we wanted to, and it was a good time. Anytime you're isolated with something and the more distractions you can cut out, the better. I'm not dying to get back or anything though. If it was longer than a summer, it may have been detrimental."

Though they began in 2012 with seven additional musicians, England in 1819 has toned their set down quite a bit since then. "For touring, we had to strip it down a lot," says Dan. "One time, we took everyone to Austin, and that was a lot. Recently, it's been a two-piece thing Andy and I do with electronic drums." However, the duo has added live drummer Brian Bell to amp up the live set. "We've only done four shows with him, so it's super new and way more fun. He has an awesome band called Gardens, and we met him in a bar one night while we were playing a set. He liked our band and knew the songs already, so it clicked," he says.

From England in 1819's first album to the most recent EP Summer Lightning, which is set to be released on Oct. 21, the sound has transformed from an overwhelming cosmic soundtrack feel to a more intimately involved and dance-able ambiance. The inspiration for the new project comes in part from Dan's summer reading list. The track "Himmel" is influenced by the book of the same name he re-read last summer, while the "Lights" was written after reading a newer novel, The Golem and the Jinni. But the projects don't stop this year with Summer Lightning.

After England in 1819's current tour ends at the Red River Revel festival in Louisiana, Dan is off for an orchestral trip to China where he'll be playing film music in various cities.

Call Rog and Spot Fine provided Mouse Morris with a 26/1 double on another successful Student Day in Sligo yesterday.

Morris admitted: Its 40 years since I was here, after the J P McManus-owned Call Rog opened his account over fences at the seventh attempt in the IT Sligo Student Day At Sligo Races Beginners Chase, proving seven lengths superior to Kilcarry Bridge. Its a nice start to the season and hell go for a handicap over a little bit further, but we wont be getting too excited, added Morris, while winning rider Mark Walsh acknowledged: That was the best hes ever jumped.

Morris was on the mark again in the concluding St. Angelas College Sligo Beginners Chase when Spot Fine, without a win in twenty-five previous starts, made all under David Casey and held the challenge of odds-on favourite Time Please by a nose, after the runner-up made a significant mistake at the fourth last fence.

Nobody would begrudge him that he deserved it, declared Morris who, on hearing that the official margin was the minimum, a nose, added: Its as good as a mile to him. Morris indicated that there are no plans in place for the Kayf Tara gelding.

J P McManus, owner of Call Rog, was also successful when the Noel Meade-trained Tom Horn (Paul Carberry) gained a confidence-boosting win in the Foleys Bar & Off Licence Chase, beating odds-on favourite Arzembuoy Premier readily by six and a half lengths.

It was a nice opportunity for him, commented Noel Meade. He lost his way a bit and lost confidence in his last few runs. Mark (Walsh) said he hadnt been killing himself, so we tried him in blinkers today and Paul said that his jumping improved as he went along.

He wants a trip and will run in some of the long-distance handicaps hes in the Munster National, or he could go for the Cork National. The further he goes, the better.

Hes Our Man, ridden for Ross OSullivan by Davy Russell, captured the featured Martin Reilly Motors Sante Fe Handicap Chase, beating favourite Cavite Beta after Nearest The Pin, close up and travelling well, took a crashing fall at the second last fence.

On his day, hes a very good horse over fences and everything fell into place today, admitted a delighted OSullivan. Davy was on the phone last week mad to ride him and, after today, well definitely have to go down the chase route with him.

The Andrew McNamara-ridden Its All An Act produced a fluent display of jumping to see off market rival Illtakeitfromhere in the Frank OBeirne Memorial Beginners Chase, to the delight of trainer John Shark Hanlon. Its lovely to win a chase with him. Andrews says hes much, much better over fences.

Rog opens account over fences

MOUNT OLIVE TWP. Three baseball and softball fields and the tennis courts at the Dan Jordan facility in Flanders will be closed until the metal fence encircling the fields is grounded as a safety precaution.

Business Administrator Sean Canning said on Friday that the fields were closed last Thursday after an inspection by an employee with Jersey Central Power & Light Co. showed the metal fence encircling the fields was never grounded and bonded. The safety precautions are being taken because the fields are located beneath high tension power lines.

Weve never had cause to question this before, said Canning.

The fields and fences were built in the 1960s and there have been no reports of accidents related to the power lines.

Recreation Director Jill Daggon said grounding rods will be installed in the fence according to specifications to be determined by an engineering study. She said the work should take two to three weeks.

In the meantime, two fall softball games scheduled for the fields will instead be played at Turkey Brook Park.

Canning said Mayor Rob Greenbaum ordered the fields closed after he was briefed by Canning, Daggon and Jim Lynch, the assistant public works director.

Canning said the township engineer, Gene Buczynski, will recommend an electrical engineer to review the fences

The high-tension, overhead power lines are owned and maintained by First Energy, the parent company for JCP&L. Ron Morano, a JCP&L spokesman, said he could find no report of a recent inspection at the fields.

In another recreation-related matter, perfect early fall weather greeted 161 adults and children who participated in Sundays Tour de Mount Olive. Daggon said 86 people rode bikes for the 40 mile tour; 65 participated in the five-mile family ride; and 10 children got pointers in the kiddie ride.

Warning tickets continue until Church St. project finished

The Canton Police Department will continue to only issue warning tickets due to the ongoing construction on Church Street, which is reducing the amount of parking spaces downtown.

Acting City Manager Nathan Ingram said the $1.25 million Main Street Connector project that includes reworking curbs, sidewalks and installing new lighting is slated to finish in two weeks, weather permitting, or by the end of October at the latest.

City staff and the departments leadership understand this construction project has significantly reduced the number of available two-hour parking spaces, Canton Police spokesperson Pacer Condry said. Police Chief Robert Merchant has directed the Parking Enforcement Unit to continue to issue warning tickets to the vehicles failing to abide by the parking regulations.

Other road work is also affecting the downtown area. A paving project from the railroad crossing at John T. Pettit Street to Morris Hill Road began this week.

Travelers in the area were warned to expect traffic delays and lane closures. The paving project, which is part of the $1.8 million Marietta Road project which includes paving, curbs and gutters and sidewalks, is expected to be completed by Oct. 10, weather permitting.

About 500 warning tickets have been issued since August when the police department began educating the public about the parking regulations to be enforced.

The enforcement was originally set to begin Sept. 1, but Merchant extended the warning period to Oct. 1 at the request of the Canton City Council.

The parking fines planned to go into effect at the end of October are as follows:
