The year was 1899.

Newspaper giants Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raised the price of their papers, which cut into the profits of the poor, mostly immigrant news boys hawking the product on the streets. Little did the giants of industry realize they were up against an army of newsies.

Through courage, determination and friendship the newsies seized the day, took a stand and made history. The Lakeville Area Arts Center brings this high-energy story for all ages back to life with Disney’s Newsies, March 15-24. Tickets are $17 advance, $20 at the door, $12 ages 60+, and available at 952/985-4640 or lakevilleareaartscenter.com.

The Star Tribune praised the Company’s Nocturne as, “an enchanting journey – for one hour we are transported into an exquisite dream state.” This South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam is a living, breathing language that speaks to the contemporary human experience – in this instance the natural, emotional and spiritual migrations that occur after nightfall. Tickets: $18 adults, $11 students, available at s-sm.org/FeslerLampert or 507/333-1620.

Bovee plays guitar, harmonica, autoharp and banjo, sings and yodels, and spins a yarn like it’s nobody’s business. Together they’re a generous dose of authentic cowboy songs, country blues, cowboy poems and tall tales, along with history, folklore and jokelore. Tickets: $20 advance, $23 at the door, available at Crossings, crossingsatcarnegie.com or 507/732-7616. © The Entertainment Guide

Journey over the rainbow to a magical kingdom where four unlikely friends discover wisdom, compassion, courage and the way home.

When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard and en route they meet a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tinman who is missing a heart and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage. The Wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West to earn his help. This is a non-musical version of the Frank Baum story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Dinner Theater: Odd Couple, Female Version

Mar. 1-2, 8-9, 6:15pm dinner/7:30pm show; Mar. 10, 12:15pm lunch/1:30pm show Hilltop Hall, Montgomery

Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might attempt suicide, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate.

However, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy, untidy and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly. Tickets: $30 meal and show, $10 show only, available at 507/744-TIXS (8497) or curtaincalltheatre.org..

If you’re a hit man in Minnesota, 83 percent of your clients want to take out their ex (uff da!).

OMG you guys! Fabulously fun and international award-winning Legally Blonde – The Musical is the ultimate Broadway tribute to girl power. The story follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams and proves that you can be legally blonde and still the smartest person in the room. This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. It warms the heart by proving that self-discovery can be way too much fun and hilarious, to boot. Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard, too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends she quickly realizes her potential and her true assets as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.

Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway’s brightest new heroine and, of course, her Chihuahua, Bruiser. Tickets: $40-$85, available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1

Minnesota Starwatch Party • 7-9pm

Wine Tasting: Boxed • 3-6pm

Watch the great celestial show in the skies over Faribault.

Start off with an indoor orientation followed by quality time outside. Get to know the constellations like The Big Bear, Orion the Hunter, Leo the Lion and some of the great stories behind them. Use large reflecting telescopes, including two giant 20-inchers that are among the biggest mobile telescopes in the Upper Midwest. These provide close-up views of the moon, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and other wonders. Weather permitting, use a new astronomical camera-telescope system for extra special views of the more distant universe. Plus, to make sure you stay familiar with the sky, you’ll get a great big handout package with user-friendly star maps and constellation charts, apps, websites, a telescope-buying guide and more. $5 ages 3-13, $10 ages 14 and up.

Boxed wines have come a long way over the past two decades. They create the best environment for your wine after opening, letting in neither air nor light to acidify your wine. This combination gives a longevity to boxed wines that bottles have never managed to duplicate. Winemakers are realizing this and experimenting with better and better wines. Fight the boxed wine stigma and see just how good the wines inside can be and how good a value it is to buy wines by the box. Free and open to anyone over 21.

Jen Kober is originally from Lake Charles, LA, and has energetically bounded onto the national stage bringing crowds to their feet with her original blend of stand-up, storytelling and improvised rock ‘n’ roll comedy. Her hard-hitting hour is phenomenally funny as Kober commands the stage and dares you not to laugh. Kober was the 2016 Winner of NPR’s Snap Judgment Comedic Performance of the Year for her Girl Scout Cookie story which went viral upon its release earlier that year.

BEAT STRESS WITH

Mindful Breathing

Yoga . . . when you think of the word “yoga” what comes to mind? Is it study of self? The awareness of your breath? Our perspective on yoga can be based on the physicality and less on the heart of the matter – which is “yoga is a work-in, not a ‘workout’” as stated by the teacher, Indu Aurora.

It is something that can be in each moment. Each breath. Let’s focus on our breathing for a moment.

What does breathing mean to you or symbolize for you? The power of life, inspiration, receiving and letting go? Often it is something we take for granted.

Which makes sense – why wouldn’t we, there are many other things we are thinking about.

But what if we just shifted our awareness around our breathing, how we look at it and think about it? It is PremaStudio.com

Kris Layman

like a hidden jewel, a hidden treasure for our health and well-being. How we breathe is a representation of our state of mind. Simply put, when we are stressed, our breath becomes shallow and fast. By guiding and shaping your breathing, you can create a calming effect. For example, as you are reading this pause for a moment, close your eyes if possible or just bring your gaze to one spot, allowing the brain less stimulus.

Now breathe in and breathe out to the same count (start with three) Inhale . . . one, . . . . two, . . . three . . . exhale, one. . . . two . . . three. . . It is as simple as that. The fastest way to create change for your nervous system is through the breath. We all have it, thankfully, and best of all – it’s FREE.

thegoldenoakfarm.com © The Entertainment Guide

As simple as a pause in your day, to breathe in and out with awareness can lead us out of the stress response. When you breathe in the same count as you exhale you are communicating to the body there is no danger; it is safe to come out of the fight-orflight stress response.

Let’s uncover the secret jewel and value it for what it is; life, health and inspiration! Ahhh…Thank you, breath.

RESOURCES TO HELP: Place a little sticker on your watch, phone, rearview mirror or anywhere that you will see it daily, to remind yourself to take 4-5 rounds of balancing your breath. Inhale for 3-4 seconds and exhale the same length of time. Once you get comfortable with this, you can begin to increase and slow the breath down.

You can also set your phone timer, or there are many apps you can use: Insight Timer, Headspace, Sanctuary, the Breath App on Apple and more.

Billy Johnson • 8-11pm Tavern Lounge, Northfield

“Commitment-free rock ‘n’ roll. While he’s been moonlighting with George Scot McKelvey in the B-Team, former Hillcats singer Billy Johnson proves he belongs on the A-list alongside G.B. Leighton as one of the Twin Cities’ best feel-good, blue-collar, barroom-rousing tunesmiths with his first solo album It’s a Good Life.” (Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune). Johnson has opened for the BoDeans, Five for Fighting, Train, Poco, Paul Thorn, Van Hunt, Lowen and Navarro, Old ’97s and more. More at billyjohnsonmusic.com.

Flip is also a music teacher and promoter of Blues for Kids, a music education program he created at the 501c3 non-profit organization, Discover Music.

4th Annual

As spring approaches and Minnesotans start to come out of their winter huddle, many people begin to consider relocating or upgrading their homes. To help our readers navigate the real estate market, The Entertainment Guide has brought together some of southern Minnesota’s local experts to share their wisdom. Whether you are thinking of buying a new home, selling your current home or just dreaming, you’re sure to learn something in this special real estate section.

why live in a senior housing cooperative?

by Evelyn Burry

education, communication, shared responsibility (especially financial), fairness, participation and involvement, good design, people first and, finally, dedication.

Locate a senior housing cooperative near you and arrange for a tour. Ideally you’d do this several years before you anticipate moving so you can make preparations and get on the waiting list should the co-op have one. To find a senior housing co-op near you go to seniorcoops.org/ housing-list-2.

As you or your parents consider where to live in retirement years, three strands need to be considered – one is lifestyle, the second is simplicity/security and the third is financial. All three strands are important.

Evelyn Burry, Kildahl Park Pointe Cooperative, Northfield.

507/650-7100 or kildahlparkpointe.com.

Cooperative living weaves all three strands together and is best done if begun early in retirement so you receive the full benefit of all strands.

There are more than 110 senior co-ops with the majority in Minnesota. One such co-op is Kildahl Park Pointe in Northfield. This co-op hits all three strands.

LIFESTYLE: A community that enjoys and cares for each other, the building and the environment; that learns, serves and plays together, allowing people to opt in or opt out of participation as they wish; and that invites people into leadership and more.

SIMPLICITY/SECURITY: A limited-access building, underground garage with car wash bay, someone onsite to take care of repairs, in-unit laundry, fully accessible throughout, neighbors informally making sure you are okay and more.

FINANCIAL: Ownership in a corporation structured with a partial buy-in and a common mortgage insured by HUD, limited appreciation of share value avoiding market volatility, annual budget and monthly fees determined by board composed of members, equity recouped at time of sale and more.

PESTICIDE FREE

ORGANIC LAWN CARE PLANS Safe for the environment and your family.

Avoiding Scams with a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist Al Freeland People are living longer and want to remain relevant, work and stay productive past the traditional 60-something retirement age. But making that a reality may require a cultural shift. It entails rethinking and redesigning things like homes, the infrastructure and the economy to support people who are living an average of 20 years longer than what those systems were designed for when they were built. When you do finally decide to retire and perhaps move to a retirement community, you must beware! An example is a recent Belize Retirement Real Estate Fraud. Scam artists often are very good at their trade. That may explain how a scammer promoting property in Belize to future retirees was able to bilk people to the tune of $100 million before getting caught.

al materials used to make the development seem legitimate. Sanctuary Belize also was featured on an episode of House Hunters on HGTV. According to the Wall Street Journal, the developers were promoting jungle land that they planned to transform into a luxury resort community.

Prospective buyers were told that amenities, including a hospital staffed with American doctors and a championship golf course, would help to double or triple the development’s property values in two or three years. Beware.

As with every investment, it’s best to do thorough research before parting with your money.

For retirement advice on downsizing, decluttering, making choices of where to go and for help with selling your current residence, you can trust a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) to guide and assist you with the process.

For information on how an SRES can help, see the ad in this publication.

The development was known as Sanctuary Belize, Sanctuary Bay, and The Reserve, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The advertising, including commercials Al Freeland, Realtor and SRES with Edina Realty, can be on Fox News and Bloomberg News, seemed legitimate. reached at sonjandalanfreeland@edinarealty.com Maps and aerial photography, an infomercial, a video sales or 952/486-1451. brochure and a webinar were among the other promotion-

Tips for Selling Your Home

Tim Freeland

So you’re about to take the plunge into the real estate market, specifically the local sellers’ market. Home preparation is key to getting what you want in the time you want it. How devoted you are to making your house shine like a gem can increase the perceived value by several thousand dollars as well as ensure that your home sells in a reasonable time.

1 – MAKE SPACE. Make sure you remove any clutter lying

around but keep the home presentable, meaning give it that “cozy home for the family” feel. You need the purchaser to easily visualize themselves living in their new abode.

This includes wall clutter all the way to that man-cave clutter. Buy totes or boxes and store it off site or in the garage for now.

2 – CHARACTER/PERSONALITY. This might seem quite obvi-

ous, but it’s extremely important that you don’t make your property come across as a hotel room. Give your personal touches but don’t overdo the décor. Some imperfections are allowed to offer that homey feel.

3 – WAY OF LIFE. Present the home to the prospective buy-

er in a way they can enjoy and experience life in their new haven along with the neighborhood. Go above and beyond to show them how simple it is to throw a barbecue or have your neighbors over to hang out in your fire pit, new deck, patio or back yard. Think “stand out”. The name of the game is to catch their attention with their emotions.

4 – GIVE IT A PAINT JOB. Be

sure to give your house an exceptional paint job – even if it does not need it. Prices can vary in the thousands of dollars based on this point alone.

Even if you just paint a room the smell will send subliminal messages of “newness” throughout the home. You may pay a certain amount for a paint job but command a much higher price for the home in the long run.

5 – FIX IT. Eliminate any exposed or hidden cracks, leaky

faucets, cracked windows, etc. Remember, even if the buyer doesn’t see these imperfections the home inspector will! Remember people are always on the lookout for imperfections because they are subliminally looking for reasons NOT to buy the home. We would also recommend you professionally clean your carpets, or replace that old living room carpet to get the house smelling good.

32 content@entertainmentguidemn.com

6 – LIGHT, AIR AND SMELLS. Open the windows or light a

fire, use newer, fresh curtains and sweet-smelling candles.

Anything that plays to the senses of the perspective buyer.

The kitchen is also an essential part of this. Add some fruit to the table and air out all the cabinets so that they do not smell of spices when opened.

7 – USE AN AGENT. You need the right teammate to present

the property in the best light and to know what to highlight and what to downplay. This person needs to be able to paint a pretty picture for the prospective buyers. It is proven that using an agent will gain you a higher price than not using an agent. A seasoned professional has learned all kinds of tricks of the trade over the years.

Overall, in order to get what you want, which is selling your home for the best price and in a timely manner, you need to take advantage of preparing. Preparation can make or break the sale, and your home is not the area to cut corners. Yes, it’s a lot of work, it seems, but not as much as you think. People put off cranking through their to-do lists for years, only to find they can get most done within a week’s time when they’re focused on the goal of selling the house. And don’t be afraid to ask your agent to recommend contractors or a few local handymen.

When you’re in that “prep” mode, contact an agent and they’ll give you some tips that you probably wouldn’t have thought of. It will be a call worth its weight in equity.

Buying Your First Home

Mary Jo Winter

Buying your first home can be the biggest most important purchase MaryandJo Winter, REALTOR® of your life, but it doesn’t have to be 612.701.2079 painful. Knowing the process and being mj@maryjowinter.com prepared for each step can prevent many Licensed headaches and save you monto sell–real estate in MN ey. Buy a home because you want to be a homeowner. Buy a home because you’re settling down and need Each a place to live for at least five years. And only office independently owned and operated buy a home if you’re financially ready.

Let’s look at the steps that will make this process an exciting adventure and a successful story to tell.

#1. MONEY. Save for a down payment. Nearly all mortgage loans and lenders require some amount of cash as a down payment. The amount you’ve set aside for this will determine the kind of mortgage you qualify for. It will also impact how much you can afford to borrow for a home. This will be important when you begin to shop for your home. #2. WORK WITH A LENDER TO GET PRE-QUALIFIED. This is where the lender will look over work history, credit, debt, etc. to help find a program that works for your situation.

This is also the person that will give you a pre-qualification letter indicating you can afford a mortgage. This will be important when you make an offer on a home. #3. HIRE A REALTOR. There are many ways to find houses online and it can be very confusing. Realtors represent you and will work hard on your behalf to find the right house for your situation.

Ask for recommendations and interview them. It is essential that you find someone you get along with well and are comfortable communicating with. The right buyer’s agent should be highly skilled, motivated and knowledgeable about the area you are looking in for a home. The Realtor can help find homes in your price range and that will work with the mortgage program that you qualify for. #4. THE FUN PART! Deciding where you want to live and what kind of home.

Location. Know what you want and don’t want in a neighborhood. How close do you want to be to parks, shopping, schools and entertainment? Determine how much of a commute you’re willing to endure twice each day. If close to amenities or schools, how do you feel about traffic and busy neighborhood streets and parking problems at various times and days?

Style. Know what kind of houses you like and don’t like – townhomes, condos, two-stories, one-level homes.

Eliminate those that you don’t want from consideration, and decide what aspects you can compromise on for the ones you prefer. Based upon your qualified price

March 2019

range, there may or may not be several styles to choose from.

Age. Know if the age of the home is something that matters to you. Older buildings, while having lots of charm, may also require more money to update than you want or can afford to spend.

Space. Know how much space you need versus how much you want or can get. How many rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, storage areas? Four small bedrooms versus three large ones? Walk-in or traditional closets? Basements or no?

Features. Know what you want and don’t want in a property. How much distance would you like to have from neighbors? Do you prefer your land to be treed?

Flat? Hilly? Prefer an eat-in kitchen versus formal dining space? Garage? Driveway size? Air-conditioning? View?

While this may seem overwhelming it will help give you clarity when you are looking for homes in your price range. #5. GO SHOPPING! Have fun and find the right home for you.

Romantica • 6:30-9:30pm

Steele County Historical Society, Owatonna

At first glance the irony is thick on Romantica’s new release America. Penned by an immigrant Irishman who writes a fair bit about his homeland and delivers his nostalgia in a lilting Belfastian inflection, the only thing “America” about it seems to be the new soil on which he’s singing. Listen to all this Irishness couched in the musical landscape of historically-American country and folk music painted by the swirling pedal steel guitar of Eric Heywood (Ray LaMontagne, Son Volt, Richard Buckner) and the emotive fiddling of Jessy Greene (Wilco, Jayhawks, Minus 5) and it comes clear why Rolling Stone’s Melissa Maerz called it “Americana, (that’s) something more than the sound of the states.” You’ll hear fingerprints of true American artists – Gram Parsons, Ryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen, and Iron and Wine, as well as a few from across the pond such as Damien Rice, Nick Drake and Van Morrison. Tickets: $15 SCHS members, $20 non-members, available at steelehistorymuseum.org or at the Steele County History Center. Doors at 6:30pm, music at 7:30pm. Wine and beer cash bar available.

A fabulous night of improvised comedy, replete with cheeky entendre, brazen overture and thinly-veiled innuendo. This group of only slightly-obsessed improv hobbyists promise to brighten your otherwise dark and dreary evening.

Tickets: $14 advance, $16 at the door, available at Crossings, crossingsatcarnegie.com or 507/732-7616.

Simply Fodder For Your Next Cocktail Party

By Sherri Faye ©2019

OHMMM… “Ohmniscient” marks the 100th Episode of “Left Field”! My, how the years have flown. Though at times it certainly felt more like slogging through a quagmire of infinitesimal crap. Speaking of flying, and quagmires, as Paisley Paws demonstrates in the scenario depicted above, anyone else find it difficult to shut down the flurry of activity in one’s mind? I recently began taking a melatonin pill in order to fall asleep at night. But this doesn’t bode well when trying to meditate – I shut everything else off around me. I do the usual: light candles, burn sandalwood incense, use lavender oil, do some deep breathing, and a few yoga stretches…

Yet it seems lately, if I’m lucky, I get 5 minutes of radio silence. This is not necessarily a bad thing. At least I’m getting those few moments to center my being. Most of the thoughts swirling about in my skull are creative or things that need doing that I don’t mind doing. HOWEVER, I do feel the need to declutter the grey matter. So I, being the containerloving-list-writing-post-it-note-addict-organizationfreak that I am, have launched a dual approach to solving this dilemma. And it’s working. #1: Inside Information: In addition to the aforementioned rituals, I talk myself off the ledge (figuratively). I remind myself that I inevitably always get the things done that need doing, and I almost always get even more accomplished than originally planned. Bottom line, as the old saying goes – don’t sweat the small stuff. #2: Outside Influences: Renew, invigorate, refresh my external world to reflect how I desire my internal world to be. This means cleaning, reorganizing, removing, revitalizing my environment.

From my make-up bag to my art studio, my purse to my medicine cabinet, and my car to my kitchen. I have been applying ye olde feng shui – purging, re-arranging, painting, color coding, and categorizing my belongings, my space, my life.

Doing these external exercises helps to properly align my inner esoteric life. The more I do it, the better I feel, the easier my mind quiets. My enthusiasm for this exponentially increases as I move in a familiar direction that is both spiritual and practical. With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, I suppose I should tie that in: As he drove the snakes out of Ireland, so I clear my own tangled snake pit(s). Wishing all of you untangled lives, free of mind vipers and household chaos.

“What we think, we become.” — Buddha (And I don’t want to become a text message or a grocery list. — Sherri Faye)
