Auditions: The Miracle Worker

Defending the Caveman

Feb. 4, 8pm Ames Center, Burnsville The longest running solo play in Broadway history. Couples are sure to be roaring with laughter and sharing knowing glances while asking “Could comedy give couples therapy a run for its money?” With hilarious insight on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart. Defending the Caveman makes us laugh at ourselves, about all the ways that men and women fight, laugh and love. Written by comedian Rob Becker over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology, Defending the Caveman is a worldwide hit with productions in 30 countries and scheduled to open in more than 60 cities in North America this season. In addition to winning the hearts of audiences worldwide, Caveman has also garnered praise from a multitude of marriage and family therapists across the nation for its humorous exploration of the gender gap. Tickets: $30, available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com. Sister Act

Feb. 8-11, 7:30pm; Feb. 12, 2 and 7pm Kelsey Theater, St. Olaf, Northfield Music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater, book by Cheri Steinkellner & Bill Steinkellner, additional book material by Douglas Carter Beane, directed by Karen Peterson Wilson. A sparkling affirmation of the universal power of friendship, this high-octane musical opens with Deloris Van Cartier witnessing a crime and put into an unusual location for the witness protection program… a convent. Deloris brings some nontraditional moves to the choir and unexpectedly discovers the joy of her newly found sisterhood. Tickets: $10, available at 507/786-8987.

Richard Hannay was not expecting any of this. He merely went to see a show, with no idea he would end up being drawn into a vast conspiracy, handcuffed to a femme fatale and chased all around the English countryside. Cling to the edge of your seat and prepare to laugh yourself silly as Hannay tries to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps in this madcap mashup of suspense and comedy, based on the same novel as Alfred Hitchcock’s famous movie, with just four actors portraying dozens of different characters.

Blind, deaf and mute since her formative years, young Helen Keller’s inability to communicate has left her frustrated and violent.

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.

Ex-tennis professional Tony Wendice married his wife Margot for her money. Now he plans to kill her for the same reason.

There will be puns, cosmopolitans and audience participation. For anyone who remembers the naked dress, the tantric sex demonstration, the post-it note and “he’s just not that into you,” One Woman Sex and the City: A Parody on Love, Friendship, and Shoes will provide a great reminder of why this series and its characters have stayed so firmly in women’s hearts and minds. Tickets: $30, available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com.

Greg the Great Does Magic for Young and Old

by Felicia Crosby

Everybody Dance Now

Rock and roll lovers of the Upper Midwest all honor what’s become known as The Day the Music Died, the Feb. 3, 1959 Iowa plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP “The Big Bopper” Richardson. In Northfield, 100 miles north of that fatal crash site, this day has also become a celebration for the music and the talents lost too soon, and the tradition continues this year. Join fellow revelers at the Winter Dance Party at the Contented Cow on Feb. 3, 7 pm and groove to the sounds of the Blue Moon Trio, Forrest and the Rangers, and Scott Skaja and Friends. Horn-rimmed glasses optional. ….and get a chance to warm up your dance moves beforehand For those whose moves might be rusty, come gain some confidence – and learn a few moves – at the Winter Dance Pre-Party on Thursday, Feb. 2, 6 pm, also at the Contented Cow. Meet some of the musicians headlining the next night’s festivities and take part in a 1950’s trivia quiz. We’ve been promised a few surprises, too.

Knit with Wine and Wit

Seriously, if there is a better way to spend a late winter’s afternoon in Minnesota, we haven’t heard of it. Trust the creative souls at the Cannon River Winery to take the chill out of winter with the irresistible pairing of fiber crafts, companionship and a warming glass of wine. Join fellow fiber artists of all abilities on the first and third Thursday of the month (Feb. 2 and 16) from 6 to 8pm for creative inspiration while making new friends. This event, which started in October, will be ending this month. Wine is $5 by the glass for all participants; knitting advice is sure to be free. More at cannonriverwinery.com/event/wine-wool.

For all parents who’ve gotten to that point in the winter where there seems to be nothing left to keep the kids engaged and screen-free, help has arrived and it’s right in our own backyard. Join magician Greg “the Great” Skillestad at the Northfield Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 4, 11am, in celebration of the “take your child to the library” day. Levitations, magical disappearances, and even bisected assistants are all part of Skillestad’s family friendly show, rounded out with comedy and lots of audience interaction. Your kids will be enchanted, and you’ll forget it’s still February. Did we mention it’s a free event? See, the magic’s already begun. For more information, call the Northfield Library at 507/645-6606.

The Sisters Are Back

Put your hands together for great tunes and the power of friendship, as the talented students of St. Olaf bring this foot-tapping, high-octane musical to Northfield. Follow crime witness Deloris Van Cartier as she lands in the witness protection program and discovers the joy of a new kind of sisterhood. The show opens Feb. 8, 7:30 at the Kelsey Theater on the St .Olaf campus; it runs through the 12th. For tickets and other information, call the box office at 507/786-8987.

Comedy Hypnosis

Imagine being hypnotized on Valentine’s Day, in public and in front of your sweetie – now, what could possibly go wrong there? Under the skilled direction of master hypnotist David Danzig, nothing but your funny bone will be in danger of breaking up; for more than 20 years, Danzig has been entertaining and illuminating audiences with his exploration into untapped human potential. Join the show on Feb. 14, 7 pm at the Crossings in Zumbrota and enjoy the pandemonium. For more information and tickets, go to crossingsatcarnegie.com.

issue 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?

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.

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.

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….

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.

Member of the Minnesota Real Estate Team

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: 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 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. 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.

Using Native Plants to Attract Pollinators

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.

Breweries Multiplying in Southern Minnesota Plato said, “He was a wise man who invented beer.” That being said – we’ve got a lot of wise men and women in the area. Several new breweries are opening in Southern Minnesota this year. Here’s a taste: Tanzenwald Brewing Company plans on opening late February or early March in the newly renovated creamery building across Hwy 3 from downtown Northfield. The brewery is owned by Steve and Jenaveve Pittman, a couple from La Crosse, WI who recently moved to Northfield from the San Francisco Bay Area. Steve has a master’s Steve and Jenaveve Pittman degree in brewing and Jenaveve has been working in the restaurant industry for 20 years. The kitchen will be run by two Northfield townies: Executive Chef Matt Murphy and Kitchen Manager Gwen Anderson.

“Our beer takes a flavor-based approach, where substance is more important than style. With a mix of hoppy beers, lagers and sours, we want to explore the vast flavor that these types of beer can showcase with an attitude to push the boundaries while displaying an appreciation for the classics. But it’s not just about the beer, it’s about the entire experience: a fast-casual counter-style taproom with food. You can come in by yourself for a quick pint and one of our “bar bites,” or come in with friends and stay for the evening. Our menu will be globally influenced, locally sourced. A lot of breweries host food trucks. Our idea was to bring the food truck inside and make it our own; a small menu with big flavors and rotating specials. Our beer will be in our food as a key ingredient. Expect unique and vibrant dishes filled with layers of flavor. We will be cranking out our own house-made sausages and spaetzle as well as pickling our way through the year. We have connected with many local farmers and producers, and those local ingredients will inspire us to honor Tanzenwald’s core values of sustainability and community involvement.” More at tanzenwald.com

By Stephanie Aman

It’s 4:30 on a Monday night, the weekend was busy, meal planning was an afterthought and I’m feeling very uninspired when it comes to dinner. I didn’t thaw anything from the freezer. The kids are hungry and my significant other will be home in an hour. Take out? Seems valid, except for that budgeting resolution I made in January. Sounds like sandwiches again. That was me until I decided I needed to change the ending. Enter the electric pressure cooker (mine is the InstantPot brand). Electric pressure cookers seem to be the newest trendy kitchen appliance and it is single-handedly the best kitchen appliance I own. I own two. And I named them. They do most of the cooking around our house now, so they are like family. When I talk about Patty and Roy (my InstantPots), I feel like an infomercial. But knowing how much of a stressor they removed from my life, I know I’m just hoping to help some friends who might be in the same boat. We all lead busy lives and this cooking method allows anyone to put whole food meals on the table in short order. 22 info@entertainmentguidemn.com

Skeptical? I was, too. But I can make a spaghetti dinner, without boiling water, in about 10 minutes. Homemade mac and cheese – five minutes. Fall-off-the-bone ribs or a whole chicken – 35 minutes. Never mind the soup that tastes like you spent the day cooking it slowly on the stove – 30 minutes. Patty and Roy do this regularly. Just Food Co-op has hosted two sold-out classes with the InstantPot. Amongst our staff, at least seven (from empty nesters to those with young babies) have electric pressure cookers. Sherri Meyers, Just Food’s packaged grocery manager and coinstructor of the InstantPot classes, says, “I love my InstantPot because I can make a healthy nutritious meal at the last minute and not feel guilty.” Electric pressure cookers operate by pressuring up first, which means the temperature inside the pot has to ‘come to pressure’ before it starts to cook. Frozen foods take just a bit longer to come to pressure. I can cook a whole chicken, from frozen, in about an hour. As for that resolution to mind our budget – Patty and Roy have made that much easier – we eat out less and are experimenting with fun new foods. Tonight, Patty made us a pork shoulder roast in 90 minutes and Roy is simmering some charro beans (from

Directions: Put water and ½ c of BBQ sauce in the electric pressure cooker. Season meat with salt and pepper and place in the pot. Lay onion slices on the pork. Place top on pressure cooker. Set the manual setting to 90 minutes, high pressure. Ensure valve is closed. When the time is up, allow the pressure cooker to release the pressure naturally. Take the meat out of the pot. (Careful, it’ll be falling apart!) Shred the meat with two forks. Add as much BBQ sauce as you like (saucy or not as much). Serve with buns or as a topping for a salad.

Indian Cuisine, continued from page 20 Southern India food (as opposed to Northfield’s Chapati) uses clumps of sticky rice, Dosa (a rice/lentil crêpe), or idli (a steamed lentil/rice cake) to scoop up food. Thinner sauces are used as rice does not disintegrate in liquid. The emphasis is on rice and lentils, mostly vegetarian, but seafood is abundant in the southern coastal regions. They use plenty of coconut and the dishes tend to be much spicier, both in terms of flavor and heat. Spices are roasted in coconut oil and then ground fresh for every meal. Uddin plans to slowly overhaul/simplify the Chapati menu, removing many items and adding some new ones. Personally, we’ve not seen Lamb Biryani (a fragrant rice dish) in the buffet before – and can attest that it is exquisite. So if you haven’t been to Chapati for awhile, it’s time to come back.

And Sometimes a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words Consider Northfield’s HideAway Coffeehouse and Winebar where during the summer they, like so many other venues in our area, utilize fresh vegetables from their garden, herbs from the planters out front of the coffeehouse, and honey from their own beehives. Their pesto and vegetable soups tap into their frozen harvests all year long. Their goal: use as much locally grown and sourced food AND BEER as possible. More at thehideawaynorthfield.com

Midwest Wine Country? All right – beer and liquor distillers make sense in the Heartland. But can a climate like ours support vines that make a good wines? Consider California, though. It took some sleight-of-hand maneuvering to even get them a tasting alongside the European fare. And look at them now, competing and winning palettes on an international scale. Minnesota may be in the making. Consider Cannon River Winery: It started with a dream to create extraordinary Minnesota wines. Cannon River’s 40-acre vineyard is nestled among the lush, rolling hills of the Sogn Valley. The location provides the perfect conditions to grow cold-hearty grapes which, in turn, produce delicious, award-winning wines. From complex reds layered with the flavors of berry jams, nuts and chocolate to dry whites with hints of pear, melon and grapefruit, their wine list is unprecedented. Join them for a wine tasting and discover your new favorite or sip on a glass of your choice while enjoying local artisan cheeses.

24 info@entertainmentguidemn.com

More than ten years ago, they began planting their cold-hardy grapes, which include Marquette, Foch, Frontenac, LaCrescent, St. Pepin and more. These cold-hearty vines can withstand the coldest Minnesota winters and show even more character as a result. Fresh off the vine, their experienced winemaker works meticulously to crush and de-stem the grapes before placing them in the in the tank where they blossom into a stunning selection of wines. From the moment you step through the doors of their historic working winery in downtown Cannon Falls, you’ll understand why Cannon River is a Minnesota destination. Take a stroll through the winery and see how their wines are made, then taste the fruit of their labor – you may even get a chance to chat with the winemaker. On the weekends, shed the stress of a long week with live music, good company and amazing wines. More at cannonriverwinery.com
