BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown Central School district budget wasn’t as favorable to voters the second time around.

The school district’s pr oposed $38,721,107 budget for the 2011-12 school year was put back before voters June 30 wher e it was defeated 1,335 to 843. The budget — which was initially approved May 17 by a vote of 746 to 730 — was ordered by the state education commissioner to be put up for a revote June 30 after it was found one of three voting machines used was not updated for the election, and displayed last year's figures to voters.

District superintendent Scott A. Amo said he could do nothing but speculate as to why the budget wasn’t appr oved by voters a second time.

The Patriot Flag comes to the North Country

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — The village of Rouses Point is now among the stops of a famous flag that is being toured across the nation.

The Patriot Flag, a large American f lag m easuring 30 ft. by 60 ft., was bro ught to the village last week as part of the village’s annual Fourth of July festivities. The flag has been traveling thr oughout the United States as a way of honoring the victims of the Sept. 1 1, 2001 terr orist attacks and invigorating patriotism in the people it meets, with those in the

Northern Tier being no different.

Hundreds of people turned out for a special ceremony July 1, held at the Rouses Point Volunteer Fire Department. Political dignitaries and local of ficials discussed the mission of The Patriot Flag and the importance of r emembering the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives a decade ago.

Thomas A. Middleton, a National Guar d veteran and native of Chazy r esponsible for helping pr ocure the flag for the event, addressed the cr owd, underscoring the importance See FLAG, continued on page 8

Children from the community helped keep The Patriot Flag from touching the ground as it was folded July 2 at P lattsburgh’s PARC Oval. The flag is mak ing its way around the nation before it travels to Ground Zero Sept. 11.

Aubertine lauds governor’s accomplishments, touts plan to reform state government Commissioner discusses plan for ‘new New York’

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

Darrel J. Aubertine, commissioner of the stat e Department of A griculture and M arkets, addresses a crowd at theWest Side Ballroom in Plattsburgh June 30. Aubertine discussed the 2011-12 stat e budget process and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s reform agenda for New York.

move forwar d on m any, if not, almost every front that the governor identified when he stepped forward initially.”

Cuomo’s reform agenda aims to make “great strides t o t ransform Albany,” s aid Aubertine, calling for mor e public-private partnerships like the Power for Jobs pr ogram and establishing regional councils that “make sure the North Country is heard as go forward developing an overall economic development plan for the state.”

“If I had showed up her e just befor e Christmas last year and told you we wer e going to have this kind of an agenda and we were going to have this kind of results, you would’ve heckled me right out of the r oom,” said Aubertine.

“And, I pr obably would’ve gone willingly thinking, ‘What am I saying?’”

However, the governor ’s sincerity for his agenda, coupled with the support of lawmakers in Albany, has led to a plan that the state can move forward with, said Aubertine.

“Are we going to agree on every issue all of the time? Of course not,” said Aubertine. “I think that’s unr ealistic at best. But the fact of the matter is, what the governor and the legislature have been able to do is restore that sense of trust and sense of pride in being a NewYorker.”

“I think that the average New Yorker today, feels mor e confident and mor e tr ust in what’s going on,” said Aubertine. “Washington today could use a little more of what’s going on in Albany today.”

PLATTSBURGH — Darrel J. Aubertine feels there’s been a gr eat deal of pr ogress in the six months Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has been in office, and he expects more good things in store to change the way New York State conducts its business.

Aubertine — who serves in the governor ’s cabinet a s c ommissioner o f t he s tate D epartment of Agriculture and Markets — was in town June 30 to discuss the 201 1-12 state budget process and Cuomo’s r eform agenda for New York. His appearance was fresh on the heels of the passage of two of the governor ’s major agenda items – legalizing same-sex marriage and the establishing of a 2 percent property tax cap.

Aubertine addr essed a cr owd of several dozen people at the West Side Ballroom by first applauding the governor and others responsible for the legislation and for getting the state budget appr oved one day prior to the April 1 deadline and for cutting $10 billion in spending.

“We changed the way, fundamentally, a budget is put together,” said Aubertine. “No longer do we take last year ’s budget and add thr ee, four, five, six percent and call it done. No mor e.”

The budget included “no new taxes” and “ended automatic incr eases in futur e spending,” said Aubertine. Through the cooperation of the state legislature, the governor, and other elected officials and supporters, the idea of an on-time and fiscally-conservative budget became a reality, he said.

“These accomplishments didn’t occur in a vacuum,” said Aubertine. “It wasn’t done by the governor all by himself and he’ll be the first one to admit that. It was done in a way “My hat is off to [Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey, R-Per u] and everyone else who had a hand in passing the budget,” said Aubertine.

The passing of a leaner budget goes hand in hand with the governor ’s plan to bring r eform to Albany, said Aubertine. Reductions in overinflated spending and in unfunded state mandates ar e among the measur es taken for the 2011-12 state budget and will be part of the budget-making pr ocess under the Cuomo administration.

“It’s a new New York and it’s a new way of doing business,” said Aubertine.

Cuomo’s actions since taking office have been in line with what he said while r unning for office, said Aubertine and exemplify a slogan on the podium from which Aubertine spoke, which read “Promises made. Promises kept.”

“The governor made commitments during his campaign, during his State of the State address he made commitments,” said Aubertine. “And, since that point, we’ve seen New York State

Westport’s shared community building could be a state model

I

t’s time to bring things together in the town of Westport. Since 2002, a committee made up of members of the Town of Westport and Department of Public Works, Westport Central School District and Westport Volunteer Fir e Department have been working to find a way to upgrade their bu ildings w hile ke eping t axes d own for members of the municipalities.

Their proposal is a new municipal center, which will house all four entities in one form or another , fr om town of fices, courthouse, garage bays and repair facilities.

After a f ailed v ote o ver a y ear a go, t he committee has sent the proposed bond resolution back before the voters, hoping that the second time and an incre ase of public information sessions and communication will reverse a seven-vote defeat.

Voting in favor of this measure is the right way to go, not only for the futur e of Westport but for the futur e of the North Country.

For years, the New York State Comptroller ’s office, as well as state lawmakers like Elizabeth “Betty” Little and Teresa Say-

ward, have been advocating shar ed services among municipalities, and a combined building to house multiple entities is the perfect e xample o f h ow t hese g roups c an work together to save taxpayers money.

Westport could be an example for the state to use, showing others how to work together.

While thr ee smaller buildings may cost less in terms of building, you ar e going to pay thr ee times as much for engineering studies, planning, zoning pr ocess, permitting, labor, heating, maintenance and general costs incurred by r unning a municipal building. That puts an added long-term burden on the taxpayers of the community that is not needed or wanted. In short, we feel that a vote against this pro ject would be a vote for incr eased taxes over the long term, which is something no one wants to face, anywhere.

Many municipalities in the North Country ar e faced with this issue. Buildings do not last as long because of the harsh weather conditions. V ehicles cannot be le ft o utside in the cold months, either because the

water in a fir e tr uck would fr eeze or the stress of starting vehicles in cold weather would severely decrease the life of the vehicles, adding more on the backs of the taxpayers.

Most towns are facing the same decisions with multiple pr operties, and, as W estport School Board member Dwayne Stevens said at a recent meeting, four walls to take car e of is better than 12 or more.

This plan would also get two pieces of property back onto the tax rolls in the WADA building and the curr ent site of the firehouse. Even if the worst-case scenario is realized and these buildings have to be taken down, they ar e both pr operties in the heart of the downtown ar ea and would be profitable on the tax rolls.

It also doesn’t take any more property off the tax rolls, since the site would be built on the curr ent town shed pr operty. Building elsewhere — like the W estport Industrial Park, would mean a loss in revenue for the town, even with no one curr ently building there.

Every municipality knows that the mor e

money they can get on the tax rolls, the less impact it will have on all. If you have three pieces of tax-exempt pr operty and you can add even just one of those parc els back onto the rolls — building or not — you do it.

We do empathize with the loss of a town hall near what is consider ed the town center, but, in all honesty, we now live in an automotive society where it is not a har dship to travel an extra mile for services. For sentimental r easons, it should stay . However, the WADA building in Westport used to be a hub of teenage activity fr om community center nights to dances and other events.

None of that happens there now.

Times change. In or der to keep up with the times, we must as well.

Publisher’s Viewpoint

A house divided?

O

nce again we are being told we are at the brink of financial disaster. If no agreement between the houses and the president is agreed to by month's end, the country will surpass the debt ceiling in early August. Those who understand the inner workings of the federal government warn that if a deal is not in place by the 22nd of July that we won’t have time avoid a default.

While the debt limit has been adjusted already once this year in early May to $14,294 trillion, an attempt to bump it to $16.7 trillion was defeated in late May . Since 2001, Congress has voted to raise the debt limit 10 times.

With neither side talking to each other at this point it, would appear as we reach the precipice, both sides will agr ee on yet another debt limit increase in place of solving the issues that divide the two sides and in many ways divide our country.

The president and Democrats want tax increases on the richest Americans, those they’ve identified as earning $250,000 or more annually, combined with spending

point back then was that one side or the other would eventually win out. W ithin a few years, the country was plunged into a terrible civil war that nearly destr oyed the Union. The loss of life and destr uction was horrific as brother fought against brother.

Today we find rh etoric and anger has been growing over the past several decades with each side growing farther apart. The parties seem to be split on nearly every issue and while we’re a long way from a civil war the time to solve these issues is now , not later.

If the parties or their leaders can’t make it happen, then we need to start getting mor e involved and demand mor e accountability from our elected officials.

With the 2012 pr esidential campaigns starting to heat up, I wonder if Lieberman and McCain had it right in 2008, when McCain consider ed Lieberman as his VP r unning mate. If we can’t get a true independent in the highest of fice, per haps we need one from each party who can agree to work together and lead their parties to the table to reach true compromise. We all know that won’t happen, but clearly something needs to change the tr end or I fear we ar e in for more of the same as wezigzag from one election to another and the divide once again threatens the Union.

Mass Media has alr eady begun providing our youth with samesex “expr essions of love;” and now that our State has decr eed that same-sex r elationships ar e “normal,” we can expect an onslaught of same-sex imagery that will desensitize and indoctrinate all of our future generations.

How to prepare for dreaded late blight Exercise and stress relief

A

nyone who gr ows tomatoes r egularly, does not forget the late blight epidemic that hit the are a two years ago.

In 2009, the blight was br ought up very early in the season on a shipment of tomatoes from the south. We then had the ideal condition for the blight to spr ead as the weather was cool and wet all summer long. Many avid gardeners are now desperate for any news of late blight in the area.

So far no late blight has been found in the area this year. Early in the season, blight was found in a gr eenhouse in Maine, which was quickly eliminated. Recently, late blight was found in Long Island. If weather conditions ar e good, late blight could eventually make its way up to the North Country on storm fronts. While this is not a death sentence for our tomatoes and potatoes this year , it does mean that we should be vigilant for any signs of the disease in our gardens.

The earliest symptoms of the disease are brown spots, or lesions, on the leaves and stems of the tomato and potato plants. The lesions begin as small, firm spots that ar e olive-green in color and quickly grow in size. The spots ar e slightly fuzzy and white when conditions have been humid such as early in the morning or after the rain. Sometimes the border of the spots is yellow and has a water soaked appearance. The lesions can develop on the fruit. Once infected, the stems and fr uit quickly collapse and rot.

Any home gar dener wishing to try to contr ol late blight with fungicides needs to begin spraying fungicide befor e symptoms appear. There is no treatment that offers one hundr ed per cent control, but copper and products containing cholorthalonil can of fer some pr otection. Befor e applying any fungicides, home gar deners should thoroughly read any product’s instructions and follow them carefully. Over application of fungicides or not waiting the proper amount of time between application and harvest may be harmful. Even if using a fungicide, gard eners should inspect for late blight symptoms r egularly and immediately contact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension if symptoms do appear . If your plant is diagnosed with late blight, it will need to be destro yed immediately to prevent the disease from spreading.

Late blight is very destru ctive. If no action is taken it will kill plants faster than any other disease.

But the good news is, the disease is still hundreds of miles away fr om us. Late blight often makes a yearly appearance on Long Island without ever making its way north. If we are luckily, all we will have to do is monitor our gar dens for the disease and never see it here this year!

To get started with and exercise program you’ll want to first consult your doctor .

Remember to gradually build up your program; you’ll be more likely to stick to it if you don’t over do it in the beginning. Do what you love. Exercise should be fun and you are more likely to continue to do something that you enjoy rather than dread.

Pick a time and stick to it. Consider it like an appointment to yourself, your health, and your well being. Schedule it in if you have to. Set some goals and strive to achieve them. Find a friend to help keep each other motivated, and change up your r outine often to keep your body guessing and to keep things exciting. If you ar e not sur e wher e to start, or if you ar e not certain that you are going about things pr operly, you may want to consult with a qualified fitness professional.

es, it’s tr ue, exercise does a body good, but it is also true that virtually any kind of exer cise can r educe stress as well. Exercise improves your overall health and sense of well-being.

Some of the direct stress reducing benefits you will see from exercising will be: Increased Endorphin Production - Endorphins are the feel-good neur otransmitters pr oduced by the brain. Often r eferred to as a “r unners high” other forms of exercise such as going for a hike or playing soccer can contribute to the same feeling.

Exercise can be meditative - I often get this feeling after swimming laps in the pool. You ar e “in the moment” focusing on your form and br eathing.

Therefore not giving into mindless thoughts and distractions fr om your days stresses. Your tensions will slowly dissipate leaving you with a clear er mind and more positive outlook.

Exercise can help to impr ove your mood - Regular exer cise can incr ease confidence and lower symptoms associated with mild depression and anxiety.

ALTONA — The annual Elizabeth R. Heins Inspirational Survivorship A ward was awarded to not one, but two re cipients this year.

Janice A. Opal, Morrisonville, and Elli Collins, Plattsburgh, wer e given the honor this year at the annual Treasure Chests Soirée held recently at the Rainbow and Banquet Hall.

Opal was honored for her involvement in every known cancer awar eness or ganization in the North Country, being active in the annual Plattsburgh Relay for Life, Reach to Recover, and the Treasure Chests breast cancer support group. Her participation in “Camp Braveheart,” an oncology camp for women with br east cancer , and performing with “The Boobie Sisters,” a musical comedy gr oup consisting of breast cancer survivors, also topped the list for her accomplishments read during the awards ceremony.

“Jan’s positive attitude and courage during diagnosed and treatment have been an inspiration to all,” Dr . Robert Heins read fr om a plaque made in Opal’s honor.

Opal said when the awar d was first established, she said wanted to one day aspir e to be the kind of person Elizabeth Heins was known for being and fit the criteria of who an honoree would be.

“I didn’t want to with the intent of winning the awar d, but doing the things this represents was a goal to become a better person,” she said.

Collins was applauded for her work with the Reach to Recovery pr ogram and being someone to turn to in her r ole as an oncology clinical nurse specialist.

“Elli is admired and loved by all,” said Heins. “Y ou can call on her anytime and she always knows the right thing to say.”

“It’s a r eal honor, because I have been doing this for so long and I probably know thousands of people who have gone

through br east cancer ,” said Collins. “All the people that I meet are my inspiration.”

Though Collins has never had cancer herself, she knows the importance of being ther e for people who have — and it hits close to home.

“My sister is a 24-year survivor [of br east cancer],” said Collins. “In one way or another, unfortunately , everyone eventually has some sort of connection to cancer.”

The Elizabeth R. Heins Inspirational Survivorship Award was established in 2005 by the Treasure Chests br east cancer support group, through CVPH Medical Center, in memory of Elizabeth Heins. The awar d is given in honor of Heins, who battled several medical issues, including breast cancer.

Opal and Collins now join the list of past recipients of the award, which includes Gracelyn Murphy , Cindy T opnick, Marie Beemer , Libby Goller , Barb Nephew and Bonnie Berry.

Memorial butterfly release gives people a way to cope with losses

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — Each year , hundreds of butterflies are released into the skies over the city of Plattsburgh, creating a spectacle meant to memorialize those who lost their battles with terminal illnesses.

The skies over Melissa L. Penfield Park were recently filled with mor e than 100 such Monarch butterflies as Hospice of the North Country hosted its annual butterfly r elease.

The event has been held the past six years in Plattsburgh, said Hospice of the North Country dir ector for development Amanda Bow, and has been a way for many who have lost a loved one to cope with the emptiness they feel.

“It’s important that we remember and honor our loved ones even if they ar e no longer here with us,” said Bow. “Releasing a butterfly is just one way we can do that.”

“It’s a very special and beautiful way to celebrate a person and their life,” she added.

Though something that has become a tradition in the community, the butterfly release is not necessarily something everyone participates in, Bow acknowledged. One such person who had never been to the event is Angie Payant of Harkness. However, after losing her husband, John Payant, to liver cancer last September, she felt it was a way to honor his life.

“He had a long struggle,” she recalled. “He was diagnosed with stage four and died about six months after to the day. In fact, he passed away the day after my birthday. He promised me he wouldn’t die on my birthday.”

What Payant felt was particularly moving about the butterfly r elease was that her butterfly didn’t fly away immediately after it was set fr ee fr om its paper enclosur e. In fact, it took many minutes of coaxing for it to even leave her hands.

“It means that he’s still here ... that he doesn’t want to leave me,” she said as she choked back tears. “It says his journey is still going on and though he’s not physically her e with me he’s still here in some way.”

“It’s amazing. John never did want to leave,” said John’s sister , Ther esa Payant, as she watched the butterfly rest on her sister-inlaw’s hand before it finally flew away.

It’s providing an event that gives some form of symbolism to participants like Payant that Bow said is important with the butterfly r elease.

“We are glad to off er this opportunity to our Hospice families and to all community members,” she said. “W e hope this event gr ows each year as mor e and mor e people learn about it. Those who attend seem to really enjoy it and many ar e very moved by the experience.”

PLATTSBURGH — When there are days where it’s nice to go for a str oll with your children, ther e’s something Rita Mitchell says you should keep in mind.

Mitchell, principal sanitation with the Clinton County Health Department’s department of envir onmental health, said it’s very important to understand potential dangers when you encounter what you may think are cuddly canines.

“Several hundr ed animal bites ar e r eported every year,” said Mitchell. “The majority of them ar e children between the ages of 5 and 9 and it’s usually children who ar e playing with dogs but not sur e how to play properly.”

It takes only a second for an animal to react out of instinct, said Mitchell. It can

July 9 - 15, 2011

be in r eaction to something as simple as getting to close to an animal’s face, its food or its puppies. Even what a child would consider playful tugging on the animal may be thr eatening in the animal’s mind.

“The thing is, all dogs have the capacity to bite,” said Mitchell.

Attacks by stray animals are mor e rar e than cases where the victim is familiar with the animal, Mitchell added.

“Usually, the child has permission to play with the animal because it’s the family pet or the neighbor ’s dog,” said Mitchell.

One way to avoid potential bites is for par ents to monitor their children when playing with animals, said Mitchell.

“What’s the worst is when you hear about a child about 12 months old that is bitten and nobody saw it happen,”

said Mitchell. “Children that age especially should not be left alone with an animal.”

And, the breed of the animal does not necessarily make a dif ference when it comes to the risk of being bitten, said Mitchell.

“Golden r etrievers, poodles, any breed can bite. You really can’t pinpoint one particular breed,” she said.

In 2008, the Clinton County Health Department recorded 292 animal bite investigations. That number rose to 316 cases in 2009, and lessened to 300 in 2010.

Though the cases also involve animals other than dogs, Mitchell noted taking safety pr ecautions ar ound animals can lessen the amount of incidents in the future.

“If you ar e bitten, seek medical attention right away, even if it’s a small nip,” said Mitchell. “It’s best to consult with a doctor.”

PLATTSBURGH — When Seton Catholic Central School valedictorian Cara Chapman addressed her fellow classmates during graduation, she of fered some words of advice: “Life’s tough, get a helmet.”

Chapman quoted a character f rom television show who gave his br other some friendly advice about what the real world has in a stor e as part of her speech to the 2011 g raduating c lass J une 18.

“In a way , this is very sound advice,” said Chapman. “This world’s is filled with people trying to, literally or figuratively, smack you on the head. They ar e people who might not like you, who are jealous of you, and who think that it is their sole purpose in life to make your life miserable.” Whatever the case, said Chapman, she advised her peers to always r emember to be pr epared for the adversities life

may throw them.

“Some of these experiences hurt,” Chapman said.

“You might fall of f your bike, get caught doing the prank call, almost run someone over driving, get your heart b roken, o r r ealize a ll too late that you r eally do not know how to dance. As much as these experiences may hurt your pride, they have ultimately made you into the people that you ar e in these seats today.”

Though each student may be very dif ferent, Chapman said each will head of f into the r eal w orld f or t he f irst time, m uch l ike t he u pperclassmen that went befor e them that seemed “so sure of them.”

“Now that we’r e in their shoes, do you r eally think that’s how they were feeling as they wer e leaving us behind,” she asked. “The first day o f c lasses, f irst d ay o f boot camp, or first day on the job looms over our heads like a rain cloud r eady to burst. On the outside, we look mor e than r eady to greet whatever fate is await-

ing us at our destinations.”

“I just hope that, in the long run, you will always remember who got you here — your parents, grandparents, host parents, and teachers ... where y ou c ame f rom; an d that no matter wher e you end up, it should be someplace that makes you happy,” she added.

Salutatorian Kelcey Briggs wished her classmates the same, standing in awe as she looked at the crowd.

“I know it is a cliché statement, but it honestly seems like just yesterday we began our final year of school, anxiously awaiting the final days of our high school career,” said Briggs. “Not even one month ago, I had a similar feeling as I danced on stage for the last time in the ballet Alice i n Wonderland.

It was a bittersweet time for my fellow senior dance friend and I. W e worked so hard each year preparing for our performances and this year it finally came to an end.”

“Just like with our senior

“We have worked so hard for this and have waited so long for this day, and now that it is finally here it doesn't seem possible.”

Quality Fenci ng For Every Applic ation

Briggs said she will carry her memories of Seton Catholic with her as she continues her journey , and encouraged others to do the same.

“I tr uly believe that we will look back on our high school car eer and be thank-

ful that we wer e lucky enough to have attended such a special school as Seton Catholic,” she said. “I wish the best of luck to everyone. We have made it this far, and we will continue to follow our hearts for the rest of our lives.”

Essex Theatre Company ready to take the Strand stage this month PLATTSBURGH — The Essex Theatre Company announces performances for their 201 1 summer mounting of “Rent,” a musical by Jonathan Larson at the Strand Theatr e located at 25 Brinkerhoff St. There will be an opening gala event July 19, starting at 6 p.m. with the performance at 8 p.m. Performances ar e July 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 at 8 p.m.; July 23 at 2 p.m.; and July 24 at 6 p.m.

“Rent” is under the dir ection of Derrick A. Hopkins, with musical dir ection by Jennifer Moor e, chor eography by Antonette Knoedl and technical direction by Nikki Hilchey. The Essex Theatre Company, Inc. is a not-for -profit organization located on the shores of Lake Champlain in the historic Town of Essex, New York.

Performances will be held at the Strand Theatr e due to complications due to flooding to the Masonic Lodge in Essex.

“The musical, ‘Rent,’ is ar guably the most influential musical of the ’90s. It seems that every decade a musical comes along and r epresents the social climate of that time,” said Hopkins. “I have been very conscious of trying to inform my

cast of the social climate during the late ’80s/early ’90s towards the AIDS epidemic and the discrimination of homosexuals in addition to the ostracized community of people stru ggling with addiction. This generation is very tolerant and accepting of all people and the idea of discrimination due to race, religion, addiction, and sexual orientation is a very foreign concept to them. This experience has given me to opportunity to research, relive, communicate, and incorporate these and other social issues into the artistic folds of the show . I am so grateful to my talented cast and crew for having the energy and intelligence to take on this controversial show.”

“I became familiar with this show in High School when the movie came out and immediately fell in love,” Brittany Leigh Glenn, who plays Mimi, said. “Then, when I was 18, my parents got me tickets to see the show on tour and that was when I got to see how spectacular this show eally r was. I am thrilled to be a part of this pr oduction. Not only ar e my fellow cast members extremely talented, but they have so much passion for theatre and portraying these characters and that’s what I think makes this production so special.”

“I have wanted to participate in a pr oduction of ‘Rent’ since I watched the movie many years ago,” Dana McLaughlin, who plays Mark, said. “I came into this cast knowing a few members but I really feel like we all have grown to know each other and make this such a great experience.”

“Playing Tom Collins has been a dre am come true,” Michael Bergman said. As a character, he helps bring together the other characters in the show. He is down to earth, kind, and confident, and quite intelligent, but at the same time a bit irr esponsible. He commits in his heart completely to the one he loves, and is devoted to his friends and ideals, but cannot commit to a purpose in life.”

Tickets for the performances will be sold in advance for $12 or at the door for $15. Seating is limited to 300 and on a firstcome-first-serve basis. Pr oceeds benefit the Essex Theatr e Company. All proceeds from the July 22 performance will benefit the Strand restoration. Call 526-4520 or email tickets@essextheatre.org for further information and to make a reservation.
