But drive in\, and you’ll find dozens of other trees\, shrubs and perennials: including rhododendron\, hydrangea\, magnolia\, birch\, serviceberry\, autumn purple ash\, and Colorado blue spruce. Their oak leaf mountain ash has orange berries; they have five varieties of apple trees. The old-fashioned lilacs are blooming\, and the semi-dwarf Miss Kim Korean lilacs are just beginning. \nAt the Grossmann garden\, Trevor McMahan\, Coralyn Kutzner and Ann Calsbeek will perform ensemble and solo pieces on marimba\, plus pieces featuring other percussion instruments: the cajon\, the djembe\, and\, of course\, the cow bell.

Their new shade garden has been a necessity\, because of the linden tree… so they’re enjoying hostas\, astilbes and the delicate coral bells. They also have a small herb garden\, and a fountain featuring two children and a dog\, symbolizing their love for their 12 grandchildren and the many children they’ve known during Mr. Schaap’s 40-plus years of teaching and serving as a school administrator. \nThe Schaaps also have hand or footprints of each of their grandchildren\, in the island in the center of the backyard\, “Grandpa’s Garden.” And they love birds\, even the beautifully-colored blue jays. The cardinal has become a Noah’s rainbow to them\, said Bea\, symbolizing God’s faithfulness. \nPerforming at the Schaaps will be Andy Juhl and Bridget Durst\, The Bluestem Players. Juhl\, from rural Marcus\, plays guitar and harmonica\, and Durst\, from Cherokee\, plays ukelele\, to accompany their unique and beautiful vocals.

SUMMARY:Touring Production of VANG:  A Drama about Recent Immigrant Farmers
DESCRIPTION:A Vang\, a Hmong farmer of Des Moines.   Photo by Dennis Chamberlin. \n\n  \nORANGE CITY – Poet Laureate of Iowa Mary Swander\, Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Dennis Chamberlin\, and ACT Kennedy Center award-winner Matt Foss collaborate to create a drama called Vang (meaning “garden” or “farm” in Hmong). The production will be presented at the Northwestern College DeWitt Theatre on Saturday\, May 4 at 7:30 pm\, sponsored by the Orange City Arts Council. \nMore info: http://orangecityarts.net/2013/04/touring-production-of-vang/ \nThe show will also be presented at the Betty Strong Encounter Center/ Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center May 4 at 2:00 pm\, and at the Estelle Siebens Science Center 126\, Buena Vista University\, Storm Lake Sunday\, May 5 at 7:00 pm. \n  \nSwander and Chamberlin documented recent Iowa immigrant farmers\, then Swander wound their words together to form a verbatim play that captures the immigrants’ journeys to the States. Hmong\, Mexican\, Sudanese\, and Dutch immigrants all speak of their struggles\, survival skills\, and their intense desire to return to the land. Chamberlin took stunning photos of the immigrants in their greenhouses\, farms\, and dairy barns. Foss added his theatrical brilliance to the production\, bringing Vang to life on the stage. And Michael Ching\, past executive director of the Memphis opera\, composed music to underscore the play’s message. \n  \nThe immigrant farmers in this production came from four continents\, speaking over six different languages\, with multiple experiences of the world. In their own ways\, they adjusted to life in America. Some of these immigrants came to the U.S. as refugees from war-torn parts of the world. Others came fleeing poverty in their homelands. Still others came with money\, invited to join agribusiness ventures. Many of these immigrants landed in the U.S. and took the only jobs they could find—in meat-packing plants and auto repair shops. But all of these immigrants had grown up on farms and wanted to once again assume the livelihood that they had known in the past\, the work that had formed the foundation of their cultural roots. \n  \nThe play features two actors\, Matt Foss – a native of Orange City\, a graduate of Northwestern College and currently a theatre instructor at Iowa State – and Annie Feenstra – a native of Sioux City and ISU theatre student. The two take on the parts of all eight immigrants. Dennis Chamberlin’s photos of the immigrants are projected on the walls of the theatre\, bringing both artistic grace and reality to the performance. \n  \nWith the aid of a grant from the ISU CEAH\, Swander\, Chamberlin and Foss hope to tour the play not only throughout Iowa\, but across the U.S. and to Europe. \n  \nTickets will be available for sale in mid-April. For more information\, contact the Orange City Arts Council\, 712-707-6514 or ocArts@orangecityiowa.com. \n \nDorine & Jan Boelen\, Dutch dairy farmers of Brooklyn\, Iowa.

He lived much of his adult life in Poland. \n  \nMatt Foss: \nMatt Foss’ production of Six Characters received 5 Kennedy Center ACT Festival Awards in 2012 including: National Outstanding Production of a Play\, Outstanding Director\, Outstanding Lighting Design\, 3 Distinguished Performance Awards\, and Distinguished Production and Performance Ensemble Award.

SUMMARY:Bottom Line Duo: April 9 & 10
DESCRIPTION:  \nORANGE CITY – They play from the bottom line – the bass clef. They’re a bass – cello duo from Seattle. They’re performing in Orange City April 9 and 10. \n  \n“Elegant. Their simple\, rich instrumentation gives them the freedom to explore the whole musical spectrum\,” said the Seattle Weekly. \n  \n“Most intriguing must see!” That’s the word about Bottom Line Duo from Seattle’s biggest arts festival\, Bumbershoot. \n  \nAnd they add humor. “Their program was marvelously varied and wide-ranging\, but throughout there was a sense of fun; of telepathic rapport born of abiding intimacy with a jazz-like playfulness and creativity\,” said Jack Frymer of the Bellingham  Music Club. \n  \nBottom Line Duo is Traci and Spencer Hoveskeland. They’ll be here in April thanks to the Orange City Arts Council\, with support from Frank Vogel and the Northwestern College Music Department.  The duo will do assemblies and workshops at Orange City Christian School and MOC-Floyd Valley High\, plus a workshop at Unity Christian High. Orchestra students from OCCS and Unity will join the Hoveskelands in a couple of pieces at the public concert Tuesday\, April 9. \n  \nThe concert will begin at 7:00pm at Northwestern College’s Christ Chapel. Advance tickets\, at $8 for adults and $5 for students\, will go on sale in late March. At the door\, tickets will be $10 and $7. \n  \nContact the Orange City Arts Council for more information\, ocArts@orangecityiowa.com or 712-707-6514. \nRead more and listen to Bottom Line Duo at bottomlineduo.com \nHere’s Walk Like an Egyptian:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyILYcFmKlw \n  \n \nBottom Line Duo: "They have a flair for playing with excitement and humor." "Critics… will be believers after hearing the Hoveskelands skillfully survey almost every style of music." "High energy and timeless variety." That's what the critics say about Bottom Line Duo\, a twosome to present a concert in Orange City April 9. \n\n

SUMMARY:Movement theatre & mime artists: Kirsten & Dean
DESCRIPTION:Kirsten Stephens & Dean Hatton\, Movement Theatre & Mime Artists.\nNovember 26 and 27. Creative\, innovative\, playful… mesmerizing. Poetic\, energetic\, funny. \n  \nORANGE CITY – There is no white face. There is no French black and white striped outfit. But there are lots of laughs. There is a great deal of beauty.  And there’s food for thought. \nThat’s the Twin Cities Daily Planet\, talking about movement theatre and mime artists\, Kirsten Stephens and Dean Hatton. They’re coming to Orange City and Sioux Center November 26 and 27\, sponsored by the Orange City Arts Council. \nStephens first discovered the magic of physical theatre in her church in Oklahoma City\, then spent three years studying with Marcel Marceau at his Paris school: L’Ecole Internationale de Mimodrame de Marcel Marceau. She spent a year and a half touring Europe with Mime de Rien. \nHatton also studied with Marceau\, in the States\, and at the Goldston and Johnson School for Mimes in Gambier\, Ohio. He has performed in schools across the country. More recently\, the two became a performing duo\, based in the Twin Cities. \nTheir inspirations include not only Marceau\, but also Red Skelton\, Charlie Chaplin\, Buster Keaton\, Lucille Ball and Monty Python. \nStephens and Hatton will do a public performance  – a tribute to Marceau – Tuesday\, November 27 at 7 p.m. at Northwestern College’s DeWitt Theatre Arts Center. Tickets are $4 for adults and $1 for students\, at Dove Bookstore\, Orange City Arts Council and Northwestern’s Theatre Department. \nThe ensemble will do an assembly at Sioux Center Christian School\, a short performance at Landsmeer Ridge Retirement Community\, and workshops at MOC-FV High and the Sioux Center Public Library Monday.

SUMMARY:Mary Van Rheenen book signing & reception
DESCRIPTION:Mary Van Rheenen will be signing her recently published book\, The Treasure Team\, in the Rieckhoff Room at the Orange City Public Library on Tuesday\, November 27\, 4:30-5:30. The Treasure Team\, an adventure book for middle readers\, combines Van Rheenen’s interests in history\, anthropology\, and creative writing. \nVan Rheenen graduated from Northwestern College with a student-determined major in history and writing. She then did research for the Choctaw-Apache Tribe of Ebarb\, Louisiana\, for two years in the mid-1980s. The action of The Treasure Team takes place during this time period. The author has woven stories from actual oral history collected for the tribe into The Treasure Team. Though the book is a work of fiction\, Van Rheenen aims to give an accurate portrayal of the community’s unique history and heritage. According to at least one community elder who previewed the book\, she succeeded. \n“I love that book. This is my life.” \nAnother commented on the Tribe’s Facebook page\, “I enjoyed the book. The young characters could have been most anyone of us who grew up in the area. . .. Thanks Mary for your book and to the council for bringing her to the Tribal Office for a signed copy from her.” \nThe Treasure Team debuted this October with a book signing at the Ebarb Tribal office. \nThe traditionally Spanish-speaking Ebarb-Zwolle community dates back to Spanish colonial settlement in what is now northwest Louisiana. Both Choctaw from the east and Lipan Apache from the west mingled here. The book contains stories of country dances\, Native American stickball games\, working in the woods . . . and hunting for treasure. \nThe lively narrative of the book is enriched by the depth of Van Rheenen’s knowledge of local lore. After working for the Choctaw-Apache Community\, Van Rheenen earned a master’s in cultural anthropology from Louisiana State in Baton Rouge. She did fieldwork for her master’s thesis in the Ebarb community. \nVan Rheenen has won awards for both scholarly and creative writing. While living in Orange City\, she was a founding member of “The Live Poets’ Society” and wrote a Christmas program performed by the Trinity Reformed Church Sunday school. She taught writing at a medium security prison in Illinois before teaching in Northwestern’s anthropology/sociology department. She and her husband Keith Holmes then opened the Havergraan Baking Co. in Orange City with an adjacent coffee-shop/bookstore. Since 1996 they have lived in the Netherlands with their two daughters where they serve as resource coordinators for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s mission team to the Romany (Gypsies) of Europe. \nYoung people and adults are invited to the reception/ book signing. Van Rheenen will also do short readings throughout the event. \nThe book signing is sponsored in part by the Orange City Arts Council. The Treasure Team will be available for the special book signing price of $12. A portion from the sale of each copy will be donated to the Choctaw-Apache’s Scholarship Fund. For additional information about the book\, go to www.treasure-team.com or e-mail the publisher at jar-of-oil@online.nl

SUMMARY:Ben Steneker\, father of Dutch country music\, to perform in Orange City
DESCRIPTION:Country star from the Netherlands performing in Orange City August 25: Ben Steneker\, the father of Dutch country music\, has performed in the States over 30 times\, and for many years at the National Old-Time Music Festival in Le Mars. This year he's adding Orange City to his tour\, and doing a show at Windmill Park August 25 at 7 p.m. \n\nORANGE CITY – Ben Steneker\, country music star from the Netherlands\, is doing a show in Orange City Saturday\, Aug. 25. \n  \nThe free performance is at Windmill Park at 7 p.m. \n  \nSteneker\, dubbed “the godfather of Dutch country\,” introduced country music to the Netherlands. This native of Friesland began his career over 50 years ago\, after winning talent contests\, then recording a single that made number four in the Dutch Hit Parade. \n  \nIn ’81 he was invited to the States by Bob Everhart\, and has performed 30-plus times here\, from Nashville to Indianapolis. He has become a regular at Everhart’s Old-Time Music Festival\, and is coming again this month\, to the 37th festival in Le Mars Aug. 27-Sept. 2. \n  \nSteneker is a great entertainer with “an incredible voice\,” said Everhart\, and versatile too\, even singing opera in the Netherlands. A Dutch fan of Steneker’s\, Jaap Van Aalst\, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer\, received his last wish in 2011. Van Aalst was able to travel from his home in the Netherlands to Le Mars\, to hear Steneker & his daughter Carmen perform. Van Aalst loved the Stenekers’ songs\, especially “Until the Answer Comes\,” a gospel tune about praying continuously\, and “The Gift\,” about a poor girl whose gift to Christ is all she has: a tiny bird with a broken wing. \n  \nThe magazine Texas Proud honored Steneker as “best foreign artist of the year” in ’81.  In ’94\, Steneker was inducted as the only European in the Mid America Country Hall of Fame\, and in 2010 Ben and Carmen’s album\, Homeland\, was awarded international CD of the year by the Rural Roots Commission. \n  \nNow Steneker and his wife Irene live near Haaksbergen\, and in the Netherlands he is a household name\, like Johnny Cash in the States. In fact\, Steneker has shared the stage with Johnny Cash. In 2000\, Steneker was named the first member of the “Dutch Country Hall of Fame.” He has received honors from the mayor of Haaksbergen and Queen Beatrix\, and in ’07 celebrated his 50th year as a country-western singer with a sold-out\, televised show. \n  \nThe August 25 event is free of charge\, thanks to Precision Alignment of Maurice\, Four-Way Roofing of Alton and the Orange City Arts Council. \n  \nBring lawn chairs or blankets. Concessions will be available. Rain location is the Orange City town hall. \n  \nFor more information\, check www.orangecityarts.net or contact 712-707-6514 or 712-540-6025 or ocArts@orangecityiowa.com.

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City presents Blame Sally\, San Francisco music phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAll-female folk-rock ensemble from San Francisco takes the stage: On Wednesday\, August 22 at 7 p.m. at Windmill Park\, Onstage Orange City presents the all-female folk-rock ensemble\, Blame Sally. The band's members\, Monica Pasqual\, Pam Delgado\, and Jeri Jones (left to right) bring a unique combination of country\, folk\, rock\, Celtic\, and classical to the stage. Their fourth member\, Renee Harcourt will be unable to attend\, but Blame Sally will be joined by Rob Strom on bass. The San Francisco Chronicle raves that Blame Sally "recalls the artful romanticism of Jane Siberry\, the rich folk harmonies of the Indigo Girls\, and the percolating soulfulness of Joy of Cooking.” \n\nBy Kristen Daily \n  \nCountry\, folk\, rock\, Celtic\, and classical originality. \n  \nOnstage Orange City presents the Bay area group\, Blame Sally\, on Wednesday\, August 22 at 7 p.m. at Windmill Park\, Orange City. \n  \nThis all-female folk-rock ensemble brings a compelling sound to the stage.  Blame Sally’s Pam Delgado\, Renee Harcourt\, Jeri Jones\, and Monica Pasqual challenged the traditional music scene when they began performing together in their late 30’s and 40’s. They disregarded conventional wisdom\, beginning Blame Sally “to represent the spirit of music for its own sake–and not necessarily for fortune and fame\,” says Diane Urbani de la Paz\, from the Peninsula Daily News. \n  \nTheir lyrics and harmonies tell tales of life’s tragedies and triumphs\, and as Vintage Guitar Magazine says\, “There’s a lot of Stevie Nicks in Blame Sally’s countrified folk rock\, but these veterans are less full of themselves\, earthier\, more self-assured – and more fun\, too.”  Their unique instrumental blend of drums\, organ\, guitar\, banjo\, harmonica\, piano\, and accordion combines with soulful vocals to make the sound that is Blame Sally.  Their performance promises passion. \n  \nThese talented women mark the leg of their August tour as a homecoming\, as they are returning from their third tour in Germany. They have performed all across the U.S.\, sharing festivals with the likes of Los Lobos\, Ani DeFranco\, Joan Baez\, Roseanne Cash and Greg Brown. \n  \nThe latest news:  the motorcycle show\, originally scheduled for Aug. 22\, has been postponed until September. The usual concessions will be available\, including ice cream sundaes\, but no hot dogs will be served. \n  \nThe final 2012 Onstage Orange City show also brings the conclusion of the Blue Mountain – Orange City Arts Council raffle. Entries may be purchased yet that evening to win a chef’s table for six or hog roast for 60\, prepared by Blue Mountain Culinary Emporium. Drawing for the winner will happen at intermission. \n  \nThis show is free of charge\, thanks to Quatro Composites™\, the Community Bank of Alton & Orange City\, and the Orange City Arts Council. \n  \nBring lawn chairs or blankets. Rain location is the Orange City town hall. \n  \nFor more information\, contact 707-4885 or ocArts@orangecityiowa.com. \n \nLINKS:  www.blamesally.com \nInterview & music:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pviNwu0yNpM \nListen to the beautiful Pajaros Sin Alas\, fifth song on this CD: http://blamesally.com/music/speeding-ticket-and-a-valentine/   \nSponsors: Community Bank of Alton & Orange City & Quatro Composites™

SUMMARY:Kelley Hunt performs for Onstage Orange City. Opening act: Ann Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:Kelley Hunt \n\nORANGE CITY –  Passionate blues\, scorching soul and gospel traditions. \n  \nOn Wednesday\, August 8 Onstage Orange City presents one of the highlights of 2012: Kelley Hunt and her band\, plus Ann Zimmerman\, all performing in Windmill Park\, Orange City.  Ann Zimmerman will open from 6 to 6:45 p.m. and Kelley Hunt will take the stage at 7 p.m. \n  \nKelley Hunt\, a Roots R&B/ Americana singer/ songwriter/ piano player/ guitarist\, an artist who is truly difficult to define\, has “muscled her way onto the scene on her own terms with an identity steeped in blues/ roots/ gospel tradition and a refreshing originality.”  Her career path speaks of a story of “fierce independence\, incredible will and unassailable credibility as a blistering live performer.”  Her performances are renowned across North America\, including our own Sioux City’s Saturday in the Park. She has appeared six times on American Public Media’s ‘A Prairie Home Companion.’ \n  \nHunt recently performed at the Sioux Falls and Kalamazoo jazz & blues festivals\, and she’s scheduled for festivals in Telluride CO\, Duluth MN\, and the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise in the Caribbean in January. \n  \nThe Onion in Denver CO said\, “Hunt delivers her socially charged lyrics with a voice that’s part powerful gospel yearning and part bawdy soul shouter.” \n  \nOf Hunt’s recent album\, The Blues Revue wrote\, “Hunt’s vocals and captivating piano-playing work together to lift each composition to gravity-defying heights. With each new release – this is her fifth – Hunt’s velvet-smooth voice is further defined.” \n  \nAnd the Minneapolis Star-Tribune added\, “Surprises don’t often crop up on the well-trodden blues circuit. So welcome Kelley Hunt.
