8A | THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Cottage Theatre 2020 season opens next week Cottage Theatre kicks off its 38th season with a tale of merry mayhem and murderous aunts. Joseph Kesselring’s classic play “Arsenic and Old Lace” opens the theatre’s 2020 season with a three weekend run beginning Jan. 31. Abby and Martha Brewster are charming spinster sisters who lov- ingly care for their eccentric neph- ew Teddy, who believes himself to be President Theodore Roosevelt. Housing from A1 income level,” said Mey- ers. “The thing it does for us is provide hous- ing for these people who don’t have housing or have sub-standard hous- ing and helps get them back on their feet to be able to do other things in the community and be part of the community.” Nonprofits and gov- ernment agencies which apply for assistance through the program must be reviewed by the City Council be- fore assistance is given. In mixed-use develop- ments, the program will only apply to costs which are associated with the residential portion of the project. Upon be- ing awarded assistance, projects must begin con- struction or pay devel- opment fees within one year or will lose funding. To be eligible for assis- tance, the city will evalu- ate projects based on cri- teria such as the number of dwelling units, income levels accommodated, The sisters give generously to local causes, and serve homemade biscuits and jam whenever Rever- end Harper comes to tea. So their nephew Mortimer is flabbergast- ed to discover that the cellar is filled with a dozen deceased gen- tlemen who “benefitted” from his aunts’ peculiar brand of end-of- life charity. Arsenic and Old Lace pre- miered in 1939 and still ranks housing types, public benefits and other eval- uation points similar to those associated with the recently-approved Multi-Unit Property Tax Exemption (MUPTE) program. Most notably, cur- rent projects such as the Cottage Village develop- ment on Madison Ave- nue and Legion Cottag- es on North I Street are expected to benefit from the program. City coun- cilors are set to review the program’s first two requests for SquareOne Villages’ Cottage Village and Homes for Good’s Legion Cottages projects during the City Council meeting on Jan. 27. Together, the two proj- ects are expected to pro- vide 17 new units upon completion to the in- come-burdened com- munity. The combined request for assistance is expected to nearly exhaust the program’s yearly allowance. “So the first year — even half-year — has been terribly successful in putting $100,000 out among the best-selling Broadway plays of all time. Cottage Theatre’s production of Arsenic and Old Lace is directed by Keith Kessler, with set design by Tony Rust, costume design by Rhonda Turnquist, and light- ing design by Amanda Fergu- son. Nikki Pagniano and Marcee Shriver Long lead the cast as Abby and Martha Brewster, along with Kory Weimer, Dale Flynn, and there in the market to help a variety of housing opportunities for non- profits and/or govern- ment agencies,” Meyers said. Request for assistance from the Cottage Village developers last year was partially the impetus be- hind the creation of the program. Cottage Village Co- alition President Bruce Kelsh was delighted in considering that the program may have long- term impact on nonprof- it projects in the area. “The Cottage Village group greatly appreci- ates the City Council’s thoughtful deliberation on how to support not only Cottage Village, but other future projects,” said Kelsh. “The city’s support is signif-icant in terms of when we write grants. It shows there’s local community sup- port.” In tandem with the city’s embrace of the MUPTE program, which provides up to 10 years of property tax ex- emption on new devel- Health, Happiness & Wellness A guide to local businesses committed to helping our community thrive Counseling & Mental Health South Lane Mental Health Serving Cottage Grove Since 1988 • Outpatient Counseling for Children, Adults & Couples • Psychiatric Medication Management • Crisis Assistance 541-942-2850 • 541-942-3939 • www.slmh.org Dental Health Delaying going to the Dentist?

Arsenic and Old Lace runs for three weekends at Cottage The- atre from Jan. 31 through Feb. 16. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at opments, the two hous- ing programs are set to provide a more compre- hensive housing assis- tance framework for the community. “One of the things the council is looking at is, yes, MUPTE is great for the for-profits. But the nonprofits, it doesn’t do anything for,” said Mey- ers. “So they felt that this isn’t going to be something that’s going to be solely solved by the for-profit businesses and we do need some continuation of some of these nonprofit and gov- ernment agency projects going on.” Cottage Village and Legion Cottages are not the only development plans on the horizon to take notice of the new program. “We’ve already talked with DevNW [who] is going to be making an application as well to help with their commu- nity land trust project, which would be great,” 8 p.m., and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.cottagetheatre.org, by phone at 541-942-8001, or in person at the Cottage Theatre Box Of- fice, 700 Village Drive in Cottage Grove. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for youth (age 18 & under). Box Office hours are Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. said Meyers. DevNW, a nonprofit which was created last year when Neighbor- hood Economic Devel- opment Corporation and Willamette Neighbor- hood Housing Services united, will be holding a groundbreaking Jan. 24 for six community land trust homes. The homes are meant to create permanent af- fordable houses in Cot- tage Grove. With a three-year sun- set clause built into the assistance program, it will be funded in that time through a trust fund which will be cre- ated in the city’s 2020-21 budget. The city will contrib- ute up to $25,000 a year from the Building In- spection Program Fund into the trust fund spe- cifically for assistance for building permits and inspection fees. Contributions from the Building Inspection Program Fund will be limited to ensure that no more than $50,000 is available within the trust fund for building per- mits and inspection fees at the beginning of the fiscal year. For system develop- ment charges, the city will contribute up to $75,000 a year from oth- er sources. Contribu- tions for this assistance will be limited to en- sure that no more than $150,000 is available within the trust fund for system development charge assistance. Funding remaining in the trust fund at the end of the fiscal year will re- main in the fund and be carried over to the next year. “There are no new taxes going to be created as a result,” said Meyers, adding, “If we are creat- ing something that’s go- ing to be taking a load off some other pressures in the community, that could actually be saving money in the long run.” Worship Directory COTTAGE GROVE: 6th & Gibbs Church of Christ 195 N. 6th St. • 541-942-3822 10:00am Christian Education: Pre-K through 5th Tim Baker, Senior Minister www.6thandgibbs.com First Presbyterian Church 3rd and Adams St 541-942-4479 Rev.: Karen Hill Worship: 10:00am Sunday School: 10:00am fpcgrove.com Calvary Baptist Church 77873 S 6th St • 541-942-4290 Pastor: Riley Hendricks Sunday School: 9:45am Worship: 11:00am The Journey: Sunday 5:00pm Praying Thru Life: Wednesday 6:00pm Hope Fellowship United Pentecostal Church 100 S.
