Power tools in a variety of sizes seem to<br />

have made light work of raking leaves.<br />

Getting the yard cleaned up was on our<br />

radar last weekend. I figured Saturday morning<br />

would be a great<br />

time <strong>for</strong> us to all pitch in<br />

and hopefully be done<br />

by noon.<br />

When I got home<br />

from work Friday night<br />

I <strong>dis</strong>covered that our<br />

son had gotten the leaf<br />

blower out when he got<br />

home from school. In<br />

just over two hours he<br />

had nearly the entire<br />

lawn and all of the rock<br />

landscaping beds blown<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

clean and a huge pile of leaves waiting by the<br />

street.<br />

While I was delighted by the task being<br />

nearly completed, I wasn’t quite sure how we<br />

were going to get rid of the leaves be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

wind picked up and <strong>dis</strong>persed them all over<br />

the neighborhood. Fortunately, I remembered<br />

seeing an ad <strong>for</strong> a lawn service that operates a<br />

big leaf vacuum in the fall.<br />

One phone call was all it took, and in less<br />

than an hour three guys and a trailer-size leaf<br />

vacuum had pulled up in front of our house<br />

and made quick work of the daunting pile.<br />

In visiting with the guys, my husband<br />

learned they had been vacuuming leaves all afternoon<br />

and still not had to empty their trailer.<br />

Whatever kind of mulching device is in that<br />

machine does an amazing job.<br />

Sure, a few more leaves have fallen from<br />

our birch tree, or blown in from the neighborhood,<br />

but the bulk of the work is done.<br />

Granted, I didn’t get much exercise out of<br />

the cleanup project, but I also didn’t get any<br />

blisters, and I’m good with that.<br />

The holidays are a time to<br />

celebrate friends and family.<br />

A group of people in<br />

Sioux Center are celebrating<br />

being alive and are doing what<br />

they can to help others.<br />

The Sioux Center Tour of<br />

Homes will once again be held<br />

this year on Nov. 18-19 as a<br />

This will be the 14th Tour<br />

of Homes and the organizers<br />

can’t wait <strong>for</strong> this year’s event.<br />

“We were doing it every year<br />

but we decided to do it every<br />

other year <strong>for</strong> now. We didn’t<br />

do it last year. But I have to say,<br />

if we could get five houses <strong>for</strong><br />

next year then we would probably<br />

hold it again,” said Loreen<br />

Marra, one of the event’s<br />

organizers. “The tour goes to<br />

benefit our Relay For Life team,<br />

which raises money <strong>for</strong> the<br />

American Cancer Society.”<br />

This year’s event will feature<br />

six homes and then a stop at<br />

Petals & Perks <strong>for</strong> their Teas<br />

and Trees open house.<br />

The homes being featured on<br />

this year’s tour include:<br />

Jesse and Melissa Punt.<br />

“We decided to be a part of<br />

the Tour of Homes this year<br />

because of the fundraiser that<br />

it supports. I’m a cancer survivor<br />

and I’m just trying to pay it<br />

<strong>for</strong>ward,” Melissa said. “It feels<br />

Holiday Kickoff<br />

Estherville starts celebrating the Christmas season Nov. 17<br />

Christmas might be weeks away<br />

but Estherville is getting ready<br />

<strong>for</strong> the holiday season a little<br />

early this year.<br />

Once again this year, Estherville<br />

will play host to its annual Parade<br />

of Lights and Chocolate Walk. On<br />

Thursday, Nov. 17, parents, children<br />

and kids at heart, no matter their age,<br />

will have something fun to enjoy.<br />

From 4-7 p.m. downtown businesses<br />

will open their doors and offer<br />

sweet treats and great deals.<br />

“We like to do this event on Thursday<br />

night because that is our late night<br />

shopping night where we encourage<br />

people to come downtown and start<br />

their holiday shopping. Stores will<br />

have deals and specials and all will<br />

have special treats <strong>for</strong> the holiday<br />

season,” said Lexie Ruter, executive<br />

director of the Estherville Chamber of<br />

At a Glance:<br />

WHAT: Estherville Parade of Lights<br />

WHERE: Downtown Estherville<br />

WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 17<br />

Commerce.<br />

While shopping might not be high<br />

on the list of fun things <strong>for</strong> the kiddos<br />

to do, there is an event that is sure to<br />

bring delight to their faces.<br />

The Parade of Lights starts at 7 p.m.<br />

and it will feature about 30 different<br />

parade floats cruising through downtown<br />

Estherville.<br />

“The floats are all lit up and put<br />

together by different businesses and<br />

organizations. Iowa Lakes Electric always<br />

does a huge float that’s all lit up.<br />

They are always featured at the end of<br />

the parade because their’s is always<br />

so great,” Ruter said. “Every year we<br />

have a different theme, so most of the<br />

groups create something new every<br />

year.”<br />

This year’s theme is favorite holiday<br />

activities.<br />

Last year, the theme was favorite<br />

holiday movies and there were lots of<br />

Grinch and Elf floats. Iowa Lakes Electric<br />

did a holiday Smurf float and they<br />

had a giant illuminated mushroom,<br />

all of the people on the float were<br />

painted blue to hand out candy.<br />

“It’s really a fun afternoon and<br />

night <strong>for</strong> the whole family. The Chocolate<br />

Walk is geared toward Mom and<br />

Dad and the parade of lights is geared<br />

toward the whole family,” Ruter said.<br />

To officially kick off the Christmas<br />

season there is a very special guest at<br />

the parade.<br />

Santa is the last float in the parade<br />

and leads the crowd and kids to Library<br />

Square to light up the big trees.<br />

“The kids really enjoy it and it’s fun<br />

to see it when they all go to Library<br />

Square. It’s special when they light up<br />

the square,” Ruter said.<br />

The event is free to all and is set to<br />

proceed no matter the weather conditions.<br />

“We’ve done it all kinds of weather<br />

— in snow, in cold, but it looks like<br />

it’s going to be a decent day with<br />

some nice weather <strong>for</strong> a change,”<br />

Ruter said. F<br />

the season. Decorating and<br />

shopping <strong>for</strong> Christmas gifts<br />

‘Tis<br />

are ramping up and the Hull<br />

Kiwanis is helping out in both regards<br />

with one event.<br />

The 16th Annual Poinsettia Sale<br />

and Vendor Fair will once again be<br />

sponsored by the Hull Kiwanis and<br />

hosted at the Natural Beauty Growers<br />

greenhouses between Hull and Boyden.<br />

The event will be held Thursday,<br />

Nov. 17, from 2-8 p.m. with free<br />

tours, about 30 craft and food vendors,<br />

as well as photo ops amongs the<br />

seven acres of poinsettias.<br />

“It’s a really cool sight to see and<br />

smell all the flowers, a lot of people<br />

come take pictures and we’ll have a<br />

spot set up <strong>for</strong> that,” said Randy Feenstra,<br />

Hull Kiwanis member and event<br />

coordinator. “You’ve got seven acres of<br />

them in all kinds of colors. It’s really<br />

neat to see them be<strong>for</strong>e they head out<br />

the door.”<br />

Feenstra was thankful <strong>for</strong> the graciousness<br />

of the greenhouse to allow<br />

the Kiwanis Club to host the event. A<br />

similar event held by a Natural Beauty<br />

Growers greenhouse near Chicago<br />

lasts three days and sells about 3,000<br />

poinsettias.<br />

The Hull Kiwanis event sells about<br />

1,000 during their one evening with<br />

the proceeds benefitting children’s<br />

programs, parks and recreation programs<br />

and libraries.<br />

Visitors to the event can purchase<br />

poinsettias at wholesale costs in addition<br />

to the wide range of wares being<br />

sold at the vendor booths.<br />

“You can get poinsettias <strong>for</strong> $4 or<br />

$40 depending on how big you go,<br />

and there are poinsettias of every<br />

color,” Feenstra said. “A lot of businesses<br />

and churches get them during<br />

the event.”<br />

Pinks, purples. yellows, speckled<br />

patterns and, of course, the ever-popular<br />

traditional red will be available.<br />

The Hull Kiwanis will have several<br />

members on hand to help customers<br />

carry out their poinsettias and other<br />

purchases.<br />

“It’s really a lot of fun with all the<br />

vendors. There are all kinds of crafts<br />

and homemade items <strong>for</strong> sale, you<br />

name it, they’ll have it.” Feenstra said.<br />

“A lot of people bring their entire<br />

families along. It’s become quite a farreaching<br />

event with people coming<br />

from Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Vermillion,<br />

and even the Twin Cities.”<br />

As it’s hosted inside a greenhouse,<br />

the event is almost weatherproof as<br />

well. The temperatures could be single<br />

digits outside, but the weather inside<br />

remains of the balmy variety.<br />

Fun, flowers and a kickstart to the<br />

Christmas shopping season. Do it all<br />

at the Hull Kiwanis Poinsettia Sale<br />

and Vendor Fair while supporting a<br />

great cause at the same time. F<br />

Dickinson County Conservation’s<br />

birding offerings have expanded this<br />

year as local birder Lee Schoenewe<br />

volunteered to lead excursions beyond<br />

the normal summer Birding on the<br />

Green programs. He wanted people to<br />

see the variety of birds that are seen at<br />

different times of the year in Dickinson<br />

County’s varying habitats.<br />

“Lots of people have some level of<br />

interest in birds, and I enjoy cultivating<br />

those interests,” he said. “For<br />

many people, seeing birds in the field<br />

is a new and exciting adventure.”<br />

Schoenewe’s own passion <strong>for</strong> birding<br />

began almost 40 years ago.<br />

“I blame my wife, Nancy,” he said.<br />

“She started feeding birds in the backyard<br />

and got me to go to a meeting<br />

and field trip with the newly <strong>for</strong>med<br />

Audubon chapter in Spirit Lake in<br />

1979. It was all uphill from there, and<br />

birding has been a great joy in my<br />

life.”<br />

He wants to allow others the opportunity<br />

to participate in fun excursions,<br />

whether experienced birders or those<br />

who are looking to learn about identifying<br />

avian species by sight and sound.<br />

Even youth are encouraged to attend<br />

Birdwatchers Anonymous programs,<br />

accompanied by an adult.<br />

“Anyone with an interest in birds<br />

is welcome,” Schoenewe said. “We try<br />

not to move too fast or go too far. Having<br />

everyone see and enjoy the birds<br />

we encounter is the No. 1 goal.”<br />

The next Birdwatchers Anonymous<br />

program will be held Saturday, Nov.<br />

19. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Dickinson<br />

County Nature Center and caravan<br />

with Schoenewe throughout the<br />

county to see what species are in the<br />

area at that time.<br />

“ALWAYS...<br />

PATSY CLINE”<br />

Off, Off Broadway tells classic<br />

true tale of friendship<br />

Off, Off Broadway is bringing<br />

a classic country singer to the<br />

stage in the musical “Always...<br />

Patsy Cline.”<br />

The theater troupe will bring the<br />

show to the Ashton Community Center<br />

<strong>for</strong> four nights of dinner theatre.<br />

From Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 17-<br />

20, guests can grab dinner catered by<br />

1015 Steak Company be<strong>for</strong>e taking<br />

in the show. Entree options include<br />

prime rib, chicken cordon bleu or<br />

breaded swai. Dinner is served at 5:30<br />

p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.<br />

The idea <strong>for</strong> the show was brought<br />

up during the Off, Off Broadway<br />

board meeting over the summer.<br />

“We were throwing around ideas <strong>for</strong><br />

our November show and this one was<br />

brought up,” board member and producer<br />

Brad Vander Pol said. “We had<br />

talked about it a few years ago as well.<br />

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a<br />

musical so it’s a nice change of pace.”<br />

The musical follows the friendship<br />

of Patsy Cline and Louise Seger.<br />

Their relationship began as one<br />

between a singer and her fan and<br />

evolved into one of mutual respect.<br />

Much of the plot of the show is<br />

centered around the letters they wrote<br />

back and <strong>for</strong>th up until Cline’s untimely<br />

death in a plane crash in 1963.<br />

Lissa Lane Johnson is directing the<br />

musical as well as playing the role of<br />

Louis Seger while Tricia Meendering<br />

takes on the role of Patsy Cline.<br />

They will be backed by a five-piece<br />

band as they take the audience on a<br />

journey that includes many of Cline’s<br />

timeless songs.<br />

“The story and premise is really a<br />

heartwarming deal and true story,”<br />

Vander Pol said.<br />

“We had the two cast members in<br />

mind right away. Tricia’s a great singer<br />

and Lissa brings so much theater experience.”<br />

Meendering first saw the play 20<br />

years ago in Nashville, the city where<br />

many classic country hits originate.<br />

“It just gave me goosebumps,”<br />

Meendering said. “And it gives me<br />

goosebumps still now when we’re in<br />

rehearsals. Cline passed away be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

I was born but the music has always<br />

been part of my life growing up. She<br />

was classy, cool and it’s such a great<br />

story.”<br />

It’s a story the audience can hear on<br />

any one of four nights this November<br />

in Ashton. It’s one Meendering has<br />

enjoyed rehearsing and believes the<br />

audience will enjoy as well.<br />

“It’s a small group but a big story.<br />

We’ve been loving every minute of<br />

it,” Meendering said, “I hope the<br />

audience is able to enjoy this story<br />

of friendship and admire the great<br />

classic songs. For such a short time<br />

in the spotlight she sure had lots of<br />

great music that will rekindle people’s<br />

memories.”<br />

KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER<br />

A story told<br />

through MUSIC<br />

Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra concert on Nov. 15<br />

Music surrounds us and some<br />

of that music has a story to<br />

tell.<br />

That is what the Northwest Iowa<br />

Symphony Orchestra’s first concert of<br />

the 2016-2017 season at the BJ Haan<br />

Auditorium at Dordt College on Tuesday,<br />

Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m., is all about.<br />

The title of this concert is “Here’s<br />

the Story.”<br />

The concert will feature “The<br />

Moldau” by Smetana, “In Good King<br />

Charles’s Golden Days” by Linda Robbins<br />

Coleman (an Iowa composer),<br />

“Fantastic Brillante on Themes from<br />

‘Carmen’” by Borne featuring John<br />

Bailey on the flute, and “Grand Canyon<br />

Suite” by Grofe.<br />

And, according to principal conductor<br />

Christopher Stanichar, each of<br />

these pieces has a story to tell.<br />

“Orchestra music is broken down<br />

into two categories: concert music or<br />

absolute music. It’s more abstract and<br />

it’s music <strong>for</strong> music’s sake,” Stanichar<br />

explained.<br />

“Like a Brahms’ or Beethoven<br />

symphony. They don’t have a story<br />

attached to it.”<br />

On the other hand, programmatic<br />

music comes with a story.<br />

“Programmatic music is like a lot of<br />

music. Sometimes it’s associated with<br />

a movie, play or ballet. Sometimes<br />

there is some kind of story to it like a<br />

theme, or the music tells the story of<br />

an event or a place,” Stanichar said.<br />

“For example, we’ll be playing the<br />

‘Grand Canyon Suite,’ which is very<br />

descriptive of the canyon at different<br />

times of day, during a storm, at<br />

sunrise and sunset. You get immersed<br />

into that place by the music. It’s just<br />

like you are really there in the Grand<br />

Canyon.”<br />

This year, the Northwest Iowa<br />

Symphony Orchestra is composed of<br />

around 90 members and they have<br />

been practicing <strong>for</strong> this concert <strong>for</strong><br />

weeks.<br />

“I always like to push the orchestra<br />

to play harder music and sometimes<br />

that can be frustrating <strong>for</strong> the less<br />

advanced players, but is fun <strong>for</strong> the<br />

professionals,” Stanichar said. “This<br />

is the most prepared they’ve sounded<br />

<strong>for</strong> a concert in a few years.”<br />

The Northwest Iowa Symphony<br />

Orchestra features musicians in their<br />

adult years as well as some gifted<br />

musical students in middle school<br />

through college. Some of those students<br />

receive scholarships from the<br />

Friends of NISO <strong>for</strong> continuing music<br />

lessons.<br />

Multiple concerts are given every<br />

season, and the November concert is<br />

always the Concert <strong>for</strong> the Children<br />

where selections from the concert are<br />

played throughout the day <strong>for</strong> young<br />

students.<br />

“We have around 1,100 kids coming<br />

during the day and we play parts of<br />

the concert <strong>for</strong> them. We explain the<br />

music to the kids in the audience,”<br />

Stanichar said.<br />

“We always host this day because we<br />

want to encourage involvement with<br />

the future of the orchestra, which is<br />

these kids.” F<br />
