“The Boss” to visit Indian Lake Theater By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Bruce Springsteen, “The Boss,” with his E Street Band will appear larger than life at the Indian Lake Theater Friday and Saturday, June 18 - 19, 7:30 p.m. at Indian Lake Theater (ILT). His appearance at the ILT’s big screen is the result of a program that represents a new partnership for the nonprofit theater and an organization dedicated to bringing live performances to numerous venues through Internet feeds. Emerging Pictures has created a tradition of providing fans the opportunity to see the new London Calling: Live in Hyde Park show in advance of its June 22 DVD release date. A 90-minute version of the film will be showing at art house cinemas around the U.S. and London with box office proceeds will go to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance. In nonprofit theaters, such as Indian Lake, the screenings will benefit the venues themselves.

JOHNSBURG — Residents of the Harrington Road area in the town of Johnsburg turned out in numbers at the town board meeting Tuesday evening to convey their concern with the plan to repair the bridge on Harrington Road. The board eventually instructed highway superintendent Dan Hitchcock and volunteer engineer Jim Hutchins to move forward with existing plans, drafted in 2003 to repair the bridge. “We encouraged community members to attend the meeting because we want to hear their opinions on the situation and do our best to accommodate them,” Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed said.
