The play follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage. The Bradley Playhouse began life as a vaudeville theater, and Rose and her daughters would have felt right at home on its stage. “Gypsy” has been presented several times on Broadway, always earning praise for whoever played Rose. According to theater critic Clive Barnes “Gypsy is one of the best of musicals…” and he described the character of Rose as “one of the few truly complex characters in the American musi- cal…” The original 1959 production starred Ethel Merman as Rose with Jack Klugman as Herbie. The 1974 revival earned a Tony for Angela Lansbury. In 1989, Tyne Daly won the Tony. In 2003 Bernadette Peters played Rose and Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote that only Ms. Peters can be said to have broken the Ethel Merman mold com- pletely. Patti Lupone won the Tony for the 2008 revival. There was also a 1962 film ver- sion with Rosalind Russell as Rose, Natalie Wood as Louise and Karl Malden as Herbie. The TNECT production of “Gypsy” is co-di- rected by Kathleen Atwood and Nicholas Magrey. Bob Sloat is the music director and Annette Hebard of The Putnam Dance Center is the choreographer. Rose is played by Diane Pollard, Scott Guerin is Herbie and Genna Rittenhouse appears as Louise. Emma Smith is Baby June and Arianna

Elle was a lovely mother to her little ones, who have all since been adopted into loving, caring families. Elle is waiting for her chance at the same fate. A fate every shelter cat can only dream of, until, with luck, their dream comes true. Not only was Elle a mother to six kittens, but she has one particularly intriguing talent. Elle is a fairly chatty cat. She’s always meowing to whoever she sees, although very politely of course. When she meows, however, it quite clearly sounds as though she is saying the word “Hello.” Our volunteers were a bit freaked out by this phenomenon the first few times they heard her, because they thought someone else was suddenly in the room with them. Turns out it was only our Elle, politely greeting us in her own special way. Elle is up-to-date on her vaccines, is FIV/FeLV negative and has been spayed. If you would like to adopt Elle and have a member of the family who you can depend on to always greet you with a friendly “Hello!” please call the PAWS shelter at (860) 480-1104.

What I’m thinking is if we go to the land- lord and say, ‘If you provide us a long-term lease you will have a guaranteed tenant for so many years if you hold that price,’ we’re covered. If we go long-term, he gets his tenant guaranteed and we get the space guaranteed at a low price and at some point in the future when we possibly move into a new building all together then we can make the switch and maybe bring Economic Development into the new building. Until then, let’s negotiate. At least then the numbers would be consistent on a year-to-year basis.” Very, who several selectmen credited as a skilled negotiator, said she has worked with the landlord on the possibility of future deals and even brought the original $950 offer down by $100 through negotiations. However, she acknowledged she has not specifically requested any long-term deals beyond the initial two years at this point. Still, she believes the landlord will be more than happy to do whatever it takes to keep her office as a tenant. “I think one of the things to keep in mind is the Economic and Community Development Office historically has been downtown since the 80s or we were in the Belding Mill,” Very said. “We have only been in the Town Hall for three years. The landlord has two other cli- ents looking at the space but he really wants Economic Development because it’s a tried and true tenant and he doesn’t have to worry if the business fails in six months.” The selectmen unanimously approved going into the two-year lease but also instruct- ed Very to explore an extension at the same time, asking for an option for an additional two years with a 5 percent increase cap. This is something Selectman Peter Benoit believes Very will be very successful at working out. “Delpha is a good negotiator and I think she could get another two years with that 5-percent cap,” Benoit said. “Why not take that. I know she’s going to need more time. Otherwise it’s going to come two years later and the landlord is going to look at maybe a 10 percent cap.” Falzarano put it bluntly when he stated his support of the move. “It’s downtown, I like where it’s located, the church is across the street, there’s a lot of stuff there, people are walking by every day and if Delpha can’t get more on the lease, fine. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a good move,” he said. Villager Newspapers Friday, March 21, 2014 • A11 A12 • Friday, March 21, 2014 Villager Newspapers Deary Memorial Cancer Fund celebrates 25 years
