Side Trips<br />
The Lenten season brings a tradition for<br />
our church family — The Living Last<br />
Supper. It’s a dramatization of Leonardo<br />
Da Vinci’s painting of the same name.<br />
Each of the apostles<br />
takes a turn thinking<br />
out loud about the<br />
startling words of Jesus:<br />
“One of you will<br />
betray me.”<br />
Sheldon United<br />
Methodist Church began<br />
the drama in 1985<br />
and has performed it<br />
in more than 50 communities.<br />
I have seen<br />
the performance more<br />
than once each year<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
since my husband became involved over a<br />
decade ago. It later became a family affair<br />
when our son at the age of 10 became an<br />
apprentice for the lighting board. He’s handled<br />
that task on his own every year since<br />
and this year has started teaching someone<br />
to take over for him.<br />
He also filled in last week for one of the<br />
disciples who had a scheduling conflict. It<br />
amazed me how quickly Sam memorized<br />
two long paragraphs of monologue. I<br />
would have worked on that for two months,<br />
and it took him about two days. I suppose<br />
the fact that Sam has seen the show so<br />
many times helped him pick it up quickly.<br />
When he woke up the morning of the<br />
performance with a dreadful head cold<br />
and hacking cough, I immediately shifted<br />
into Dr. Mom mode and loaded him up<br />
with “severe cold and flu” medicine. The<br />
label claimed this product covered nearly<br />
every symptom imaginable, but after he<br />
swallowed the second dose I noticed “this<br />
product may cause drowsiness” and had a<br />
Iowa moment Information<br />
PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS of panic.<br />
Apparently he wasn’t susceptible to that<br />
side effect, so all was well.<br />

It will be a one-stop shop for visitors<br />
eager to check out local businesses.<br />
The Orange City Business Expo<br />
will be held this year on March 22-23<br />
from 4-8 p.m. at MOC-Floyd High<br />
School.<br />
The expo usually includes about 60<br />
area businesses and those interested<br />
in setting up a table at the event can<br />
sign up through March 18.<br />
In a new twist this year representatives<br />
from State Farm will lead a talk<br />
about changes in social security while<br />
Huizenga Law Firm will talk about<br />
Medicaid changes and estate planning.<br />
“We encourage businesses to try<br />
something new or a little different<br />
from a normal setup,” Orange City<br />
chamber office manager Taylor Reynolds<br />
said. “And we look for feedback<br />
from customers year to year for what<br />
they’d like to see at the expo.”<br />
For several years now guests have<br />
been able to visit with numerous representatives<br />
from just about every type<br />
of business imaginable.<br />
There are also plenty of door prizes<br />
and giveaways offered throughout<br />
the two-day event by individual businesses.<br />
Mr. Twister will be on hand as well<br />
to provide excitement for the kiddos<br />
tagging along as he makes his dazzling<br />
array of balloon animals and<br />
objects.<br />
“The main goal is to showcase quality<br />
businesses and for visitors to learn<br />
about the things they offer in the<br />
community,” Reynolds said.<br />
Of course, the businesses look<br />
forward to this annual opportunity<br />
to meet with both regular and potentially<br />
new customers.<br />
“Since Premier began providing<br />
phone, internet and cable television<br />
in Orange City in 2007, the expo has<br />
been a great opportunity for us to<br />
showcase our services and gain customers,”<br />
said Ryan Kruyf of Premier<br />
Communications in a blog post on<br />
orangecityiowa.com.<br />
“Every year since then gets even better<br />
and we look forward to the interaction<br />
we have with new and existing<br />
customers.”<br />
In that same blog post Gina<br />
Poppema of Joe’s TV & Appliance<br />
mentioned that they look forward to<br />
playing games, laughing and talking<br />
with with customers and fellow businesses<br />
during the expo.<br />
“We enjoy getting out of our four<br />
walls and hearing feedback – both<br />
positive comments and customer<br />
service concerns. We see it as an<br />
opportunity for conversations that<br />
might go unspoken and unresolved,”<br />
Poppema said.<br />
Bring the family, meet some friends<br />
and see what Orange City has to offer<br />

One night one acts<br />
of<br />
Northwestern College hosts World Premiere Festival March 19<br />
One night, eleven plays, eleven<br />
screenwriters with shows making<br />
their world premieres.<br />
Northwestern College is hosting<br />
the 21st annual World Premiere Festival<br />
on Saturday, March 19. Students<br />
will be presenting 11 new plays with<br />
the first play starting at 6:30 p.m. in<br />
the Allen Theatre of the DeWitt Theatre<br />
Arts Center. Students as well as<br />
the public are invited to attend this<br />
free event.<br />
“At Northwestern, we believe if<br />
we’re going to contribute to the culture,<br />
we should be giving the culture<br />
new plays! So we teach playwriting<br />
courses, we have playwrights/<br />
screenwriters on our faculty, and we<br />
include new plays in our season,”<br />
said Jeff Barker, professor of theatre<br />
and speech at Northwestern College.<br />
“Every year, in fact, we have a World<br />
Premiere Festival. This year, we have<br />
eleven one acts that will be presented,<br />
including one that just won a major<br />
award at the Kennedy Center/American<br />
College Theatre Festival.”<br />
The eleven plays were written in the<br />
fall in the college’s “One-Act Playwriting”<br />
course and all the plays are short,<br />
about 10 pages each, which adds up to<br />
about 10 minutes in length per play.<br />
Each of the one act plays features a<br />
different topic that the screenwriters,<br />
director, actors and audience will get<br />
to explore together.<br />
“There is quite a variety! There are<br />
plays about a robbery gone wrong,<br />
a geography contest, the death of a<br />
grandparent, the child of superhero<br />
parents, the neighbors of Noah watching<br />
him build the ark, and more,” said<br />
Barker.<br />
Some of the other plays will focus<br />
on the bond between siblings, school<br />
pranks, friendship, having children<br />
and mistaken identity.<br />
This is a unique experience for the<br />
students in another aspect. Each of<br />
the student playwrights will be directing<br />
another student’s show. This is<br />
done to give all of the students the<br />
full experience of bringing a show to<br />
the stage.<br />
“We want our student playwrights<br />
to experience the whole process from<br />
blank page to opening night. We hope<br />
they’ll be ready to work with directors<br />
of their plays in the future,” Barker<br />
said. “And we also want our students<br />
to have plenty of opportunities to do<br />
some directing while they’re here.”<br />
It’s a special night for these theater<br />
students, but it’s also a special night<br />
for everyone else. They get the chance<br />
to see eleven one act shows written<br />
and directed by people before they<br />
make a name for themselves. F<br />

Play with your food<br />
I<br />
know your mother probably told<br />
you not to play with your food, but<br />
artist Matt Drissell actually encourages<br />
you to do just that.<br />
Drissell, through Orange City Arts,<br />
will be offering a class geared toward<br />
kids to encourage them to create art<br />
with food in a class entitled, “Play<br />
with your food” on Saturday, March<br />
19. The class is being offered to students<br />
in grades 5-8 and 9-12, which is<br />
exactly the point, according to Orange<br />
City Arts executive director Janine<br />
Calsbeek.<br />
“We wanted a fun class for high<br />
school and middle school people.<br />
(Sorry, adults!),” wrote Calsbeek.<br />
Students don’t have to worry if<br />
they aren’t a budding Rembrandt; the<br />
class is open to those who can wield<br />
a paintbrush and to those who have<br />
never even tried.<br />
“No previous painting experience<br />
is required. I can’t tell too many<br />
specifics,” Calsbeek said. “I think he<br />
Learn to paint with food with Matt Drissell<br />
will demonstrate his process, and let<br />
people paint with the materials he<br />
uses. He distills paint from the food<br />
products.”<br />
Matt Drissell currently lives in Sioux<br />
Center and is an associate professor of<br />
art at Dordt College. He has a Master<br />
of Fine Arts in Painting from the New<br />
York Academy of Art and a Bachelor of<br />
Art from Wheaton College in Illinois.<br />
Before becoming a professor at<br />
Dordt College, he taught middle<br />
and high school art for five years in<br />
Milwaukee, WI, and later in St. Louis,<br />
MO.<br />
Drissell talked about his work of<br />
creating art with food such as popsicles,<br />
ice cream, lemonade, bomb<br />
pops, jello, bacon, Sriracha sauce, coffee<br />
grounds and cake mixes and here’s<br />
what he had to say:<br />
“By utilizing the highly processed<br />
food treats, my work suggests themes<br />
of land, agriculture, and sustainability.<br />
Additionally, the work<br />

shows an affinity with the modernist<br />
art movement of Abstract Expressionism.<br />
Popsicles drip, spill, and ooze<br />
onto the work, just as Jackson Pollock,<br />
Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko,<br />
and other members of the New York<br />
School worked with their paint.<br />
“These pinnacles of 20th century<br />
cultural developments — industrial<br />
food and modern art — are juxtaposed<br />
in my work, and yet they find<br />
an odd resonance there.”<br />
In his “Play with your food” class<br />
students can expect to learn about the<br />
history of painting as well as more<br />
about Drissell’s specific process.<br />
If you are an adult wishing you<br />
could be a part of this class then take<br />
note.<br />
Orange City Arts will be hosting an<br />
event on April 2 at the Barn at Blue<br />
Mountain as a part of their “Meet<br />
the Artist” series, where you will be<br />
able to meet this year’s five Iowa Artist<br />
Fellows selected by the Iowa Arts<br />
Council.<br />
Drissell is one of those artists.<br />
To learn more about that event contact<br />
Orange City Arts. For your child<br />
though, if they want to sign up for this<br />
class, make sure you tell them it’s OK<br />
to play with their food — at least this<br />
one time. F<br />

The Arts at St. Joseph<br />
Alexander Piano Trio to perform on Palm Sunday<br />
Classical music will echo<br />

Joseph Catholic Church<br />
on the afternoon of Palm<br />
Sunday, March 20. The Arts at<br />
St. Joseph will present The Alexander<br />
Piano Trio as the next<br />
performance in the church’s<br />
ongoing series of cultural<br />
events.<br />
Doors will open at 4 p.m.<br />
with the concert slated to<br />
begin at 4:30 p.m. and last<br />
about 90 minutes with an<br />
intermission. A reception will<br />
follow in the parish center.<br />
The concert is sponsored by<br />
the The Patrice and Rita Leary<br />
Foundation and United Community<br />
Bank.<br />
David Alexander, 15, on<br />
piano, John Alexander, 13, on<br />
violin, and William Alexander,<br />
11, on cello comprise the<br />
Alexander Piano Trio and the<br />
brothers have been playing<br />
as an ensemble at numerous<br />
public and private events<br />
throughout the Iowa Great<br />
Lakes area for the past three<br />
years. They are the sons of<br />
David and Helen Alexander<br />
of Arnolds Park.<br />
At St. Joseph, they will be<br />
playing an assortment of pieces<br />
by noted composers such<br />
as Vivaldi, Weber, Brahms<br />
and Beethoven.<br />
“The church has great<br />
acoustics for cello and piano<br />
and what they do is made perfectly<br />
for the church,” Father<br />
Tom Flanagan said. “They’re<br />
wonderful young artists with<br />
great futures ahead of them.”<br />
While they have not performed<br />
at the church before,<br />
the trio has experience with a<br />
previous performer from The<br />
Arts at St. Joseph.<br />
Cellist Thomas Fortner held<br />
a master class coinciding with<br />
his show at the church and<br />
all three Alexanders attended<br />
getting pointers from him as<br />
well as his fellow musicians.<br />
Furthermore those musicians<br />
were hosted at the Alexander<br />
home during their stay in the<br />
lakes area.<br />
The Alexander home has<br />
been one full of music since<br />
the boys were young. David<br />
began piano lessons at the<br />
age of four while his brothers<br />
both began taking lessons<br />
by the time they were three<br />
years old. All three have garnered<br />
awards and honors and<br />
also perform with the South<br />
Dakota Symphony Youth Orchestra.<br />
Their mother, Helen, has<br />
sat in on a countless number<br />
of their lessons as well as<br />
listening and helping them<br />
practice at home.<br />
She’s had a firsthand account<br />
of the hard work that<br />
has helped develop their<br />
musical talents. Working with<br />
them at home on the piano<br />

“The kids got better too<br />
quickly for Mom to keep<br />
up!” Helen said with a laugh.<br />
“Now, they all support each<br />
other and have their chance<br />
to show beautiful music<br />
through teamwork.”<br />
Memorizing hours of music<br />
for a polished performance<br />
requires a lot of hard work,<br />
discipline and concentration.<br />
All traits Helen knows<br />
will help carry her children<br />
through their musical careers<br />
and any goal they seek to accomplish.<br />
For now the next stop is St.<br />

as having a “very beautiful<br />
and resonant sound.”<br />
On Palm Sunday, the talented<br />
young Alexander Piano<br />

sounds of classic composers.<br />

dinner to be held March 19<br />
Making wine is an art and a science<br />
and winemaker Sam Jennings<br />
with Round Lake Vineyards<br />
& Winery will be sharing some<br />
of his knowledge about the process.<br />
On Saturday, March 19, Round Lake<br />
Vineyards & Winery will be hosting a<br />
Winemaker’s Dinner. It will feature a<br />
four-course meal, wine and fun conversation.<br />
The dinner will get started<br />
at 6 p.m.<br />
“This will be a smaller intimate dinner<br />
and it will be a chance to learn a<br />
little more from the winemaker, Sam<br />
Jennings,” said Tailyr Hansen, the<br />
event planner at Round Lake Vineyards<br />
& Winery. “Sam will sit down<br />
with the group and have dinner with<br />
them and share stories about his experiences<br />
in winemaking. He’s traveled a<br />
lot in his previous jobs.”<br />
The organizers of the event are intentionally<br />
keeping the event small<br />
with spots available for only 30-40<br />
people.<br />
“We wanted to keep it a smaller<br />
event so people could have more time<br />
to talk with Sam,” Hansen said.<br />
There is still seating available for the<br />
event, but it is limited to the members<br />
of the Wine Club. If you are interested<br />
in the event and you aren’t a Wine<br />
Club Member, you can still sign up<br />
today and come to the dinner.<br />
The four courses for the dinner include<br />
an appetizer, Waldorf salad, the<br />
choice of a stuffed pork loin or wild<br />
mushroom stuffed ravioli with potatoes<br />
and a vegetable. Each course will<br />
be paired with a different wine. Dessert<br />
will be paired with the winery’s<br />
apple ice wine, which is not normally<br />
available for tasting.<br />
“Each course will served with a different<br />
wine and Sam will talk about<br />
the wine pairings with the food and<br />
why they work,” Hansen said. “If<br />
anyone has any questions about anything<br />
he does or what happens in the<br />
winery, they’ll be able to ask Sam at<br />
dinner.”<br />
The dinner will take place in the<br />
tank room, which is a special spot for<br />
the event to take place.<br />
“The whole atmosphere will be very<br />
unique and cool,” Hansen said. “We’ll<br />
be having a dinner to learn about<br />
wine and the wine-making process<br />
in the very room where we do that. It<br />
will be a very cool event.” F<br />
