Auditions: Spreading It Around

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Dec. 29, 7:30pm Lakeville Area Arts Center In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on. Adapted from the bestselling young adult book. Tickets: $14, available at 952/985-4640 or lakevilleareaartscenter.com. Pump Boys and Dinettes

Jan. 12, 2 and 7pm Ames Center, Burnsville On Feb. 4, 1982, the friendliest, happiest show in town opened on Broadway at the Princess Theatre. There had been nothing like it before and audiences and critics fell in love with its down-home, earthy celebration of friendship and the simple things in life. With songs that celebrated the gifts of friendship, vacations, hard work, fishing and color TV, Pump Boys and Dinettes garnered three Tony Award nominations and two Drama Desk Award nominations. Set in a gas station and the Double Cupp Diner on Highway 57 somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, NC, the musical stars four gas station attendants and two waitresses who sing and play all manner of instruments, including kitchen utensils. The music is a quirky, highly imaginative blend of country, rockabilly, swing, rock and roll and jazz. One selection, The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine, reached no. 67 on the Hot Country Songs charts. Tickets: $30-40, available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com.

Hilltop Hall, Montgomery, Jan 3-4, 6:30-8pm Presented by Curtain Call Theatre. Parts for one man and one woman in their 60s-70s, one man and one woman in their 20s-40s, and one person (man or woman) in their 30s-50s. A wealthy widow, tired of handing out money to her unappreciative children, starts the “S.I.N. (Spending It Now) Foundation,” to give to those truly in need. When her greedy son and his shopaholic wife find out what she’s up to, they attempt to have her declared financially incompetent. Mom learns of their scheme and turns tables on them. Performances Feb. 17-18 and 24-26. More info at curtaincalltheatre.net or from director David Ott at delta305@gmail.com or 952/393-9545. The Miracle Worker

Northfield Arts Guild, Jan. 29, 5-6:30pm for children’s roles and Jan. 29, 6:30-8pm and Jan. 30, 7:30-9pm for adult/teen roles A play by William Gibson based on Helen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life. Blind, deaf and mute since her formative years, young Keller’s inability to communicate has left her frustrated and violent. In desperation, her parents seek help from the Perkins Institute, which sends them a “half-blind Yankee schoolgirl” tutor named Annie Sullivan. Through persistence, love and sheer stubbornness, Annie breaks through Helen’s walls of silence and darkness by teaching her to communicate. No appointment necessary. Scripts available for 48-hour perusal. Girls auditioning for the role of Helen Keller should prepare a 1-2 minute pantomime showing physicality and a range of emotions. The role of Helen is extremely physical – intense rehearsals with both Annie and Helen will include stage combat, stage falls and developing the poignant visuals necessary to show Helen’s inability to see or hear. Rehearsals will begin the week of Mar. 5 and performances are Apr. 21-23 and 28-30.

WinterFest at River Bend

The best way to survive a Minnesota winter, according to any and all experts on the subject, is to simply embrace it.

Its veins are full of Neil Young, Chuck Berry walking hand and hand.” Seeba’s songs involve catchy melodies, strong harmonies and the interplay of acoustic/electric guitar layers that definitely fall into a roots rock genre – with impressionistic lyrics that often weave together a narrative honoring our Northern heritage.

Add in the groove of the upright and downright bass by Robb Stearns and the rhythm of Bill Whelan on drums and you have really got something to dance to. Harrison Street Band breathes new life into old blues and re-vamps the roots. They play music that feels like embracing an old friend – there are times when it stings a little and other times that you can’t contain the joy. Potluck & the Hot Dishes • 6-7:30pm

Low worked his way across the U.S. and Canada performing in clubs and on concert stages. In 2011 he was inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Buzzards.

Real Estate Issue

issue Home Improvement  Siding/Fencing/Masonry  Lawn Maintenance  Plumbers  Electricians  Roofers  And More... Is it REALLY a seller’s market?

Choosing a Home Inspector

By Brian Trebelhorn, RE/MAX

By Lanny Freng, Inspection WerX

A hot topic in today’s real estate world is that it’s a “seller’s market.” But is it really? It’s true, inventory is low and there are clearly more buyers than sellers at this time. So maybe by definition, it IS a seller’s market. But that doesn’t mean homes are selling quickly, or at above their value, as a low-inventory market would suggest they should. Average days on market, according to Twin City MLS figures, is 85-90 days. Is that really a good number? In the early 2000s, homes were selling in five to ten days. That is truly a seller’s market, when a home is on the market for ten days or less before an offer is made. If it were truly a seller’s market, would it take nearly three months, on average, to sell a home?

Crack the champagne – your offer was accepted! Now it is time to consider one of the most important steps in your home buying process. The Home Inspection….

But perhaps more important than these figures is the process currently used to determine the final sales price of a home. When a seller or home owner hears over and over how it’s a seller’s market, the immediate thought process is one of joy and excitement that, in turn, equates to a strong possibility of overpricing a home. Despite what a Realtor may advise, because of all this hype, homeowners may still want to price their homes higher than their Realtor’s recommendation. They may even get that price.

There are several items to consider when it comes to having your home inspected by a professional. Notice I said professional, not your father, brother in-law, neighbor or buddy. This is no place to try to save a few dollars when buying a home.

you say it’s worth. After all, it’s a seller’s market, and the buyers will pay almost anything to get my home.” Realtors hear and deal with this every day. Media hype from local, national and even international news outlets – not to mention reality TV shows – are probably liable for the vast majority of seller’s false hopes.

The bottom line is price it where you want. The appraisal is an equalizer that’s going to tell both the seller and their agent what the home is REALLY worth. Or at least what the bank is willing to lend towards it. This may not happen often, but it is always a possibility.

After the real estate bubble burst a few years back, banks are under more scrutiny than ever to make sure this process is done correctly and that we don’t have another crisis anytime soon. That’s good for everyone – buyers and sellers. But what it has also accomplished is making absolute sure that the market improves as gradually as it needs to, instead of allowing the housing industry to turn out overpriced homes again, and worse yet, having banks lend money for purchasing those overpriced homes. The market has improved and continues to improve, but it is going to be very gradual. Again, that’s a good thing and what is needed in order to right the ship. But it’s really important not to get caught up in the hype and gossip of it being a “seller’s market.” Trust your Realtor and let the system work how it’s supposed to, and everything should work out well.

It is important when sellers read headlines or blogs that state it’s a “seller’s market” to keep things in perspective and trust their Realtor to advise them on pricing their home. Unfortunately, what is often heard instead is, “I want MORE for my home than

However, if it is a financed purchase or offer, the appraiser that the bank hires will be the one dictating what the home is going to sell for. Unless it’s a cash deal, which makes up a very small amount of transactions $100K and over, an appraisal is an integral and mandatory part of the process. If the appraiser comes in with a price that is lower than the purchase price, what then? In that case, the seller either: 1) lowers the price to the appraisal amount, 2) has the buyer pay the difference (which of course can be financial suicide and really should never happen), or 3) sees the deal fall apart.

How long have you been doing home inspections? Most of the knowledge a home inspector gains is from on-the-job experience. Try to find a home inspector that has been in the business for at least five years. Are you certified with any national home inspector associations (ASHI, NAHI, InterNACHI, etc.)? Home inspectors that are members of associations will have to keep up with continuing education throughout the year. How long do you typically take doing inspections? On-site inspection work should take two to four hours on most houses. If they are spending less than two hours inspecting your house they may be cutting corners. What type of report do you offer? It’s 2016. Pictures in their reports are a must. Keep in mind you will likely be overloaded with information as you walk through the house with the inspector. The report is what you will refer back to and if it is of low quality it will be hard to remember what the inspector was describing. Do you carry E/O and general liability insurance? Home inspectors are not perfect, we are human beings and, in the rare event something is missed, it is in your best interest to make sure they are backed up by insurance. Will you go through the findings at the house after you are done inspecting? Every inspector should be walking through the home with you after you are done so they can personally point out and explain their findings and answer any questions.

The inspection is not a guarantee or warranty. The inspector has your best interest in mind but in no way can predict the future performance of systems. There are cases where a furnace/water heater stops working or a plumbing leak develops between the inspection date and the close date. The inspector has no control over that and should not be held responsible for an item that fails after the inspection date. The home inspection is a snapshot in time regarding the home’s condition. It is a great idea to get a home warranty to take care of issues that might arise after the inspection. You are getting an incredible value in a home inspection. For $300$400 in most cases you are getting an entire home inspected. If you were to break each system up individually and have a professional from each trade come out to assess the home you would easily be pushing $1,000-$1500+. Speaking of price, when selecting a home inspector DO NOT choose one based on price. Simply put, some home inspectors cost more than others because they are better than others and they know it. In turn they charge more than their competition because they have a great reputation and consumers seek them out. It is not wise to try to save $50 on a $300,000 purchase. Though I am a home inspector, I still hire another home inspector when I’m buying a home and I don’t mind paying $50-$100 more than the competition. There’s only one inspection – make it a good one.

Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery

By Jeni Holt, eco gardens

By Beth Ayotte Nauman ServiceMaster by Ayotte

The importance of pollinator health should concern everyone, not just gardeners. An estimated one third of our food crops require pollination to seed or fruit. One third! Besides human food production, pollinators also help maintain productive plant communities that provide the food that sustains wildlife. There are many types of pollinating species including bats, butterflies, moths, wasps, hummingbirds, flies and, of course, bees (more than 500 species in Minnesota alone). The health of these pollinator communities has been in decline at alarming rates in the past decade for various reasons including disease, parasites, pesticide use and the loss of flowering landscapes and crop diversity. To help encourage pollinator communities, homeowners can make a difference one yard at a time; even a small urban garden can provide food and shelter for wildlife. The three basics to consider are native plantings, habitat, and pesticide use. One very simple way homeowners can help pollinator health is by incorporating nectar-rich flowers. Native plants in particular offer pollen, nectar, fruit and seeds preferred by pollinators. These species of plants have evolved in our area and are very tolerant to our regional conditions (i.e. they often require no fertilizer, and little water or maintenance once established). General guidelines include: 1. Using varieties of flowering plants suitable to the region and attractive to pollinators. 2. Choosing varieties with varying bloom times and colors to attract multiple species while providing late-season nutrition and nesting. 3. Grouping plantings in larger clumps to attract more species and increase chances of diversity. Another way to encourage pollinators in our yards is to provide a suitable habitat. Consider these to enrich your pollinator habitat:

1. Creating nesting sites. Bees can be encouraged to nest with commercial nesting boxes or by simply providing open areas for them to burrow. 2. Planting nonflowering plants and grasses. They will provide overwintering habitat. 3. Leaving some hollow flower stems, logs and leaf litter in the garden at springtime. More and more homeowners are making different landscape choices to reduce negative impact and support wildlife communities. Informed choices and building healthy soil communities can go a long way towards reducing or eliminating the need for pesticides. Consider natural pesticides by providing habitat that encourages predatory insects. You might also consider upping your acceptance of some bug damage. That, too, will help to increase pollinator numbers.

The home inspection is performed to try to “lessen” your chances of buying a house with significant issues. Notice I said “lessen,” not “eliminate.” An inspector can’t guarantee that a house is free of defects. A home inspection is a visual inspection, it is not technically exhaustive. They do not have authorization to open up walls, disassemble furnaces, take down a drop ceiling, etc. Oftentimes issues are hidden behind wall finish or systems are not accessible, which makes them undetectable.

What would you do if your place of business was flooded by a broken pipe in the middle of the night? Would you know who to call to help save your merchandise and get you back to normal operation? What if you managed an apartment complex and an unattended candle caused a fire that damaged six of your units? Without swift, effective action, water and smoke-damaged items – as well as the structure itself – can become unsalvageable. Disasters happen fast. If you are not prepared, your home or business could suffer undue damage. Being prepared and knowing who to call for fast emergency service can help prevent loss of customers, revenue, inventory and property. Spring is the perfect time to consider adverse weather or other crisis events and ensure that you have a solid emergency preparedness plan in place. There are many disaster recovery plan templates available. At its best, a disaster recovery plan should provide a single-source solu-

First up… Is your home inspector licensed? They should all tell you no as there is no licensing in MN. Anyone can call themselves a home inspector, which is the reason you need to do your due diligence in engaging with the right home inspector. A couple of great questions to ask your prospective home inspector are:

The inspector is only in the home for a few hours so you should expect to find some minor issues after you take possession. Keep in mind you are hiring a home inspector to find the big $$$ repairs. They are not necessarily inspecting for cosmetic and minor issues. As with a used car, you can’t expect perfection in a previously owned home.
