Good News Waseca May 2013
A New Face at the WAC JANUARY/FEBRUARY, 2016 Volume 3, Issue 8 stock I was accepted as a football lineman, a heavy weight wrestler and a shot-putter. My size gave me the popularity but it was the nerds in the art room that got my attention and devotion. I watched a lot of Saturday morning cartoons. Went to Mankato State University as one of the first football /artists. Most of my professors from college have now become my mentors as a director at Owatonna Arts Center and the Waseca Art Center they are my best resource. In the arts we can’t hurt each other…only help. Beside MSU I spent two years in the animation department of Walt Disney in Florida as an apprentice in animation during the “Beauty and the Beast” time frame. My influences are Walt Disney, Salvador Dali, and Gary Larson (cartoonist of the FAR SIDE.)” (continued on page 2) “Know thyself”, “be responsible for thyself”, and thusly “heal thyself”! Scott Roberts and Family By Mike Parry So I heard at coffee that there was a new face at the Waseca Arts Council. I sent Scott Roberts an e-mail and asked him to tell us about “Him” and where he came from? Here’s what Scott had to say. “I moved to Mankato when I was a sophomore in High School from Appleton WI. Being from good mid western Masters Linda Roemhildt Blain and Jody Nelson soldwithlinda@yahoo.com bnelson1@hickorytech.net Cell: 507-461-3307 Cell: 507-837-9851 By Mike Parry Writing stories for Antonio and the Good News Magazine has brought me to meet many different folks and businesses. Last week I walked into the new location of Healing Hands Wellness Group. Now located at 201 South State Street in Waseca. As I walked in I could not get over the beauty of the building and the aroma of calmness and relaxation.

MN 56093 So tell me what are your goals for the Waseca Arts Council? “I need people to understand that art is personal. Not everything that the WAC has will fit everyone's idea of what is their idea of art. But we also try to educate what you may see as not your cup of tea might be exactly what the person next to you sees as the perfect piece. My goal is to show how art is in every part of the community and is that small part of everything that makes us happy. It’s called quality of life.” Scott stated. “As far as what I need to reach my goals for the WAC, if I said money it would be cliché. What I need is PEOPLE! Volunteers, members and patrons. This is not the “Art World According to Scott” this is the Waseca County and Southern Minnesota Arts community. I will do my best to open the communities’ eyes and also hopefully surprise them.” I love the enthusiasm. Take time to visit the WAC.

By Kim Harty Contributing Writer to the Good News Magazine Several months ago we received a call from a pet owner wondering if we groom “evil Chihuahuas.” Her Pepe, was banned from yet another grooming shop. It was suggested to her that Pepe would need sedation at a veterinarian’s office in order to be groomed. As a Chihuahua mom, I know firsthand they can react to stressful situations with signs of fear and possibly aggression. It was possible that Pepe was overwhelmed at the previous groomers and in a less stimulating atmosphere, such as our salon, he might behave. It was with that thought we agreed to groom him. We have been grooming him ever since. Why did Pepe go from evil to pleasant in short order? The truth is, it is not what I have, it is what we lack. We do not have: A stream of people coming in and out throughout the day. Ringing phones. Other dogs and/or cats. Several dryers on at the same time. Pets on grooming tables across from each other. Groomers walking past each other with pets. Vacuum cleaners running with pets present. Many different scents from shampoos to fragrances filling the air. All of these distractions have the potential to over-stimulate even the calmest of pets. As a salon owner, we factored the following to help minimize the effects of normal day to day operations. We have based our environment around factors that include, Color, De-Cluttering, Scent, Sound and lighting. All having bearing influences on the dogs and us groomers. Positive Energy Did you know that happiness is contagious? That’s because our body secretes endorphins when we are happy. On the flip side, anger is a heavy energy that does not seem to dissipate. Both moods can infect those around you. Turns out that Pepe was never an evil Chihuahua. Maybe a little misunderstood and definitely overwhelmed. He is an easy groom and his mom is very appreciative that her little baby is well taken care of. And this is what we strive for. Happy client, happy pets.

By Mike Parry While I was selling pizza by the slice from Grandpa Mike’s Pizza Rig and watching the CP Holiday Train Pete Madel III stop up with his son for a quick visit. That’s where I found out that he had purchased SNAP Fitness in Waseca. Of course I had to ask why? “We have been looking to diversify for awhile. We looked at a number of options but never found one that was the right fit. When Snap corporate decided to sell the local location it immediately piqued our interest. It is obviously tied in to the health industry so we felt comfortable that our backgrounds would give us a good base from which to work. Corporate SNAP admittedly hadn’t put a lot of time into the business Pete Madel Jr. (left) and son Pete Madel III (right) over the past few years and we felt local ownership would give the club the attention it has been missing,” Peter stated.

(continued from page 1) Something we can all enjoy after a busy holiday season. I’m impressed I thought to myself. What a wonderful remodel job! I reached the front counter to be greeted by Jane Dunn and this is what I found out. Healing Hands Wellness Group was established in 2002 by Jane Dunn and Linda Grant. Jane Dunn had previously started her own business in 1991 as a massage therapist. The concept was based on inspiration from Dunn’s Aunt Helen Dooley who was a naturopath and registered nurse in California. Every time Jane wanted to leave Waseca, her Aunt Helen repeatedly told her that, “Waseca needs to be healed and that is what you are called to do”. In 2002 Dunn, who also had experience in the death industry as a funeral director, pooled resources with Grant who had been the Director of the local Hospice program. The idea of having a group of alternative complementary practitioners that shared a common space was born! Grant went to massage school and joined Dunn as a healing practitioner. Hua Zhu, a licensed acupuncturist was the first to join the group. Hua also holds a medical degree and was a physician in China. Jane Coleman was the next to join. Her role was that of a naturopath working with holistic nutrition education. Unfortunately, her stay with the group was short and that role has been vacant until the present moment and is being resurrected by Tracy Jevning. In 2012 Theresa Welna began to offer yoga services with Healing Hands; and that transitioned to Mollie Gfrerer and Tracy Jevning as they became the yoga instructors. Healing Hands also provides Meditation classes taught by Char Hesby, OSF and threading (hair removal) provided by Barb Harvath. Anne Byron, Jackie Overland, Stacey Blouin and Linda Maher are clinical massage practitioners and also do energy healing via Reiki. Healing Hands Wellness Group began its work being located in the Beschnett Building and in 2005 purchased and moved to the historic Dr. Olejein home on North State Street. The Mission Statement defining Healing Hands Wellness Group is, “Providing individuals with an opportunity to take responsibility for their own health and well-being, mind, body and spirit.” I asked Jane how did Awaken Vibrance come into the picture. “Tracy was a long-time supporter of the Healing Hands Yoga program. As mentioned before, she and Mollie eventually became the primary instructors. As we all got to know each other Linda and I expressed a desire to invite Tracy to “play together” when she finished her Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition. In the spring of 2014 Tracy and her husband Mike purchased the building at 201 South State Street.

After much consideration Linda and I agreed that this would be a great opportunity for expansion and growth of our business and wellness in this community. The goal of the merging is to continue to give the Waseca area and opportunity to BE WELL!” Jane stated. I wanted to find out a bit more about Awaken Vibrance so I asked Tracy Jevning to explain. By the way, Tracy is a trained Yoga teacher; Reiki II certified and has a Master of Science in Health and Nutrition Education. Tracy said, “I wanted to create a holistic health center that offered a dedicated yoga studio, holistic health and nutrition consulting, corporate wellness, meditation and specialty classes and practitioners for our region. It was a good fit to share the space of a newly created holistic health center with Healing Hands because our vision of helping people be well was the same.” Jevning went on to say, “So many people are not feeling well, don’t have energy, can’t sleep at night, are stressed out and eating nutrient poor foods that are causing chronic illness and disease. When it comes to health and wellness the whole person must always be considered. Balancing our mind, body, spirit, emotions is essential to striving towards optimal health. We cannot separate one from the other and be truly vibrant and thriving.” The new center is located at 201 South State Street in Waseca. Across from El Tequila. It would be worth a visit from all of us. Celebrating 14 Yrs. in Business Kathy & Scott Roemhildt 205 E.

January/February 2016 • Good News Magazine 7 Recently, when researchers compared the medical evidence for and against every mainstream diet (low carb, low fat, low glycemic, Mediterranean, mixed/balanced (DASH), Paleolithic, vegan, and elements of other diets), no diet single diet was proven best. The interesting part was the study concluded that “a diet of minimally processed foods close to nature, predominantly plants, is decisively associated with health promotion and disease prevention.” There is a growing wave of scientific evidence that the more plants you can eat, the healthier you are! It’s because plants fuel your body on a rich, cellular level. When you focus on eating more plants, you aren’t taking away processed sugar, unhealthy cholesterol, animal protein, cheese, and dairy products. You are adding more of an incredible array of phytonutrients, micronutrients, antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and more from plants! Looking for simple ways to eat more plants? SHOP THE PRODUCE SECTION FIRST — start planning your meals around what vegetables you will be eating instead of what protein. This starts with focusing your shopping to the perimeter of the grocery store. HAVE PLANT-BASED CHOICES IN YOUR PANTRY — if your pantry has it, you will cook it. Many plant-based foods including beans, lentils, quinoa, millet, olive oil, spices, and canned tomatoes or artichokes are shelf-stable, convenient, and economical. ASK YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR THEIR FAVORITE RECIPES! — this may seem obvious but don’t be afraid to ask — you will be amazed at the wonderful ideas Celebrating 9 Yrs. in Business Celebrating 47 Yrs. in Business Eat More Plants in 2016!

When you eat right (including more plants), you benefit yourself not just today and tomorrow but 20, 30, 50 years from now. When you eat poorly, the opposite is true — you do harm in the here and now but also support conditions that may be deadly in the future.

January/February 2016 • Good News Magazine 11 CLIMB Theatre at TEAM Academy By Jill Courtney, Director CLIMB Theatre visited our school this week! Their mission is to create and perform plays, classes, and other creative works that inspire and propel people–especially young people–toward actions that bene- fit themselves, each other, and the community. We were able to bring CLIMB Theatre to TEAM Nordmeier Bros. Easy Snow Removal Choose from a light duty at-home machine to professional duty commercial snow removal equipment to get the job done! Lawn • Garden • Sales • Service • Parts Morristown since 1926 • 507-685-4155 12 Good News Magazine • January/February 2016 through a grant from the E.F. Johnson Foundation in Waseca. Our students loved the performance in their classrooms. Each classroom got to participate in a 40 minute class about self-control. Grades K-3 learned about a boy named Joey and his first day of school. Joey had a rough first day and acted out for the students some of the things he did. The students were able to explain to him the mistakes he made and how to show better selfcontrol. Grades 4-6 worked in groups to brainstorm situations at home, school, the lunchroom, and the library where they needed self-control. Then they practiced how to stop and think before they reacted. The students enjoyed having CLIMB Theatre at school and they really took a lot away from the presentations. This is the second year we have been able to have CLIMB Theatre visit our school using a grant from the E.F. Johnson Foundation and it is something we hope to continue! A Downtown Facelift By Mike Parry Each week as I travel to different communities with Grandpa Mike’s Pizza Rig I’ve been noticing one community that is having a face lift in its downtown area. I’m talking about Janesville. I talked with Aaron King, King Construction about the projects. He’d told me how great it was to see new begin- nings in downtown Janesville and was proud to be the con- tractor. He thought I should speak with Brando McCabe so I talked with Brandon McCabe, City Planner and he was excited by the fact that UC Labs unified three store fronts downtown and then Patton, Halverson & Berg reviltilized a building just a block north.

Brandon stated, “It helps tremendously with community growth and a business friendly atmosphere downtown. Currently we are working with BP for a second location as gas station, convenience grocery store at the south end of town. All this helps pulled travelers off Highway 14 into town.” I get excited when I see businesses re-investing in their local small town communities.

Here is my 2015 Gratitude List: 1. SMIF’s work toward a more equitable, inclusive southern Minnesota.

Additionally, we received funding from Minnesota’s Department of Employment and Economic Development to launch The Prosperity Initiative, intended to increase the capacity of minority-owned businesses. 2. The expansion of SMIF’s Quality Child Care Program. With additional funding from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Minnesota, Otto Bremer Foundation, Mardag Foundation, and Medica Foundation, SMIF will now be able to offer trainings for child care providers in 14 of our 20 counties. 3.

Our future generation depends on educated, equipped caregivers. 4. The Entrepreneurial Bridge Conference & Banquet. This event brought together 125 individuals from 50 high-growth, high-potential southern Minnesota businesses for networking and workshops at the Hormel Historic Home in Austin this fall. Already, one new Peer Network has emerged from this conference, focused on the food sector. 5. The strengthening of SMIF’s CC local foods work. Supporting local foods is a key component to diversifying our region’s economy. SMIF once again was a lead sponsor for the 2nd Annual Feast! Local Foods Marketplace held at the Rochester Mayo Civic Center. This year it drew more than 1,500 people and 100 exhibitors, and 70 buyers. 6. The collaborative spirit of southern Minnesota leaders and residents. Our first Regional Community Growth Initiative spurred some great collaborative projects among the smaller communities surrounding Rochester, notably SE MN Together’s work to address the workforce shortage already affecting our region. 7. The ideal weather throughout the spring, summer and fall led to a boom year for our region’s farmers and our rural economies.

Irene was born Irene Mary Oliver, January 31st 1916, during a snowstorm in Iowa. If you paid attention to the date, that was 1 0 0 years ago!!! Her family moved from Iowa to Waseca when she was 5 years old and she has been here ever since. She had 2 brothers and 2 sisters when her mother passed away. Irene was 9 at the time. Her father remarried, and along with her step-mother’s baby boy, soon came 2 more 1/2 siblings. Her father passed away when she was 16. Irene grew up on a farm and attended Sacred Heart School. After graduation, she went on to community college in Mankato, where she learned bookkeeping and shorthand. She then worked for Borgen Chevrolet, Dr. Swenson (36 Years), and then another car dealer, Hasselquist Pontiac Buick, in Waseca until she decided to retire. (She says that she seems to be putting everyone out of business!) Over the years, Irene has spent time with friends playing bridge, dancing, going to the theatre and traveling the 50 states and beyond. In July of 2005, Irene’s loved ones thought that it would be a good idea for her to move to a retirement community, and we are glad to say that she picked Colony Court! She says she likes it here because there are so many options for living arrangements and she can get assistance if she ever needs it. When asked what her secret is to living to be 100, she said, îA positive attitudeî. I think it’s that and the fact that she still goes to the gym 3 times a week! We’re so glad to have you here, Irene! 16 Good News Magazine • January/February 2016 Diane L Beckmann, LUTCF, FICF, CLTC® Financial Associate diane.beckmann@thrivent.com Thrivent.com/fr/diane.beckmann 201 2nd St Ne Waseca, MN 56093 507-835-9899 Connecting faith & finances for good.™ $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $AVE! $ 5.00 OFF $ 00 $AVE!

An informative regional bus tour to our four westernmost counties: Brown, Faribault, Martin, and Watonwan. Our Board members from those counties did a great job of lining up residents, businesses, and educators to give the Foundation’s staff and Board a chance to listen in on areas of concern and opportunity. 9. The fact that SMIF’s donor base continues to be a source of strength for the Foundation; the Entrepreneur Fund hit $1 million with the support of many long-standing financial partners. We also strive to be good stewards of the dollars entrusted to us holding our administrative costs to 10%. 10. The good health of good company. As Annie Dillard said, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” I feel fortunate to spend my days surrounded by a loving family, a dedicated staff and Board, and many regional partners working for a brighter future. While things are relatively happy and healthy in our neck of the woods, it’s also been a noteworthy year marked with pain and tension in our larger world community. It makes me all the more appreciative for this chance to reflect on how far we’ve come as we embark on another year working together toward progress. I welcome your comments and questions.
