Sprinkled between these recollec- tions are scenes detailing the fi rst meeting between Montgomery and Novikoff. The show’s midpoint takes a brief detour by bringing out Joseph, Chartier and Williams to perform “At the Ballet” from the Broadway musical “A Chorus Line.” The song has no personal connection to these real-life individuals; however, Mann requested it be featured because of what it says about dance. Ballet, in particular. Indeed, the song, a dramatic highpoint of the musical, embodies how ballet transports its devoted to a world more beautiful, comforting and yes, magical, than the grim realities of everyday life. The show’s most enchanting moment arrives through a brief recreation of what Joseph calls Montgomery’s defi ning moment with Novikoff: a Continued on Page 4 THE Page 4 June 6, 2019 area and at that specifi c time.

Joseph fears she is not good enough. Montgomery smiles, offering calm re- assurance. “Just dance,” she says. “Just dance.” The look of wonderment on Joseph’s face is not a performance. It is as if, through Williams, she has been offered one extra moment, one choice bit of wisdom, to savor with her mentor. In an interview the day before the Senior Center performance, Joseph told The Beacher, “Helen is so Sally with me in that scene we have together at the end. It almost breaks me up every time.” Indeed, the Senior Center audience was moved, offering a hearty round of applause. Joseph hopes “Lake Michigan Swan,” which is now available for bookings, leaves audiences with a greater appreciation for the art of ballet, and an understanding of how important ballet was in this Dana Chartier appears as Anna Pavlova in “Lake Michigan Swan.” THE June 6, 2019 Page 5 “Smoke & Mirrors” Offers Plenty of Welcome Twists by Linda Weigel

If you think the odd item should make its way to the trunk or glove box, go for it! (Julie McGue is a Duneland Beach resident.)

C & A Arborists Inc. Employee Gains Certified Treecare Safety Professional Status

Michael Dombrowski recently completed the Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP) program offered by the Tree Care Industry Association. The CTSP program allows key employees at a given company to become certified tree care safety experts, thereby empowering and encouraging a culture of safety within that organization.

Maintaining a Certified Treecare Safety Professional on staff means that organizations are committed to safe practices in arboricultural operations. CTSP's are kept abreast of the latest technological advances and safety practices. They must commit to ongoing education in the safety field in order to maintain their certification.

CTSP's must complete a study guide, attend a two-day training workshop, and pass a rigorous exam. Once certified, CTSP's must complete at least 30 hours of training others, or receiving education themselves, every three years.

Consumers can have greater peace of mind with the knowledge that hiring a tree care company with a CTSP on staff helps to ensure safe and professional arboricultural work on their property.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO SAFETY!
