Side Trips<br />
Thick clumps of water weeds had taken<br />
up residence by our boat and wave runner<br />
lifts. Our neighbors couldn’t begin<br />
to get their PWC out of the lift as the weeds<br />
would clog the motor if they turned it on,<br />
and they were too far<br />
in to tow the vessel out<br />
with a rope.<br />
Fed up, we tackled<br />
the mess last Saturday<br />
morning. Armed with<br />
the few tools we could<br />
find in the garage - one<br />
rake and two plastic<br />
snow scoops - we tackled<br />
the tangled mess.<br />
Turning a boat motor<br />
on got the water moving<br />
to accomplish our<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
ultimate goal of sending the mess out to sea.<br />
Being tangled was a blessing and a curse.<br />
Once things started moving, the weeds<br />
pulled each other along, but getting things<br />
started proved tricky.<br />
The rake had an aluminum handle, so<br />
it didn’t take long be<strong>for</strong>e the handle bent.<br />
And it wasn’t much later that the whole<br />
thing snapped in two.<br />
The job soon became one of those situations<br />
where you can’t decide if you’re done.<br />
The water certainly looked better, and we<br />
could get the wave runners out, but we kept<br />
finding more weeds.<br />
I spent most of my ef<strong>for</strong>ts using the broken<br />
end of the rake handle to pull twisted weeds<br />
from around dock posts and hoist legs.<br />
I had been working <strong>for</strong> more than an<br />
hour when I realized there was blood trickling<br />
down my leg from a cut above my knee.<br />
Only after I spotted that cut did I realize<br />
that my palms were covered in them - tiny<br />
red marks that felt like dozens of paper cuts.<br />
A broken aluminum handle obviously<br />
Iowa was In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
PUBLISHERS AND not PRINTERS the best tool <strong>for</strong> the job. It did the<br />
trick, but I am paying the price.<br />
Guess the weeds got the final laugh.<br />

Dick Bauman Big Band keeps regular gig at PLAC<br />
The Dick Bauman Big Band boasts<br />
a loyal and lively audience and<br />
will be entertaining crowds<br />
through the summer once against in<br />
Pomerantz Hall on the lower level<br />
of the Pearson Lakes Art Center in<br />
Okoboji.<br />
The band is in its 19th year per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
and it’s the third summer in<br />
a row the Pearson Lakes Art Center<br />
has hosted the shows. They’re an<br />
18-piece ensemble that plays songs<br />
by the famous bands and arrangers of<br />
the 1930s and ‘40s including (but not<br />
limited to): Benny Goodman, Duke<br />
Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller,<br />
Tommy Dorsey, Quincy Jones, Louis<br />
Bellson, Les Brown, Sammy Nestico,<br />
Jimmy Dorsey, and more.<br />
Every Monday through Labor Day<br />
with the expection of the Fourth of July,<br />
fans of big band music can get in the<br />
groove <strong>for</strong> just $10 with doors opening<br />
at 6:30 p.m. and the show running<br />
from about 7-9 p.m. each week.<br />
“We were at the Hollywood Grille<br />
then The Inn and now here,” drummer<br />
and organizer Greg Forney said.<br />
“The acoustics here are great and we<br />
have a great loyal following that keeps<br />
coming back year after year.”<br />
Forney has been part of the group<br />
since its inception in 1997 by retired<br />
Iowa Bandmaster Hall of Fame member<br />
Dick Bauman, who tragically<br />
passed away from cancer during the<br />
second year of the band.<br />
The group <strong>for</strong>ged on at his request<br />
and has garnered a faithful following<br />
through nearly two decades of per<strong>for</strong>mances.<br />
“We just like to play music and it’s<br />
fun to get together with other musicians,”<br />
Forney said. “We have musicians<br />
who drive in from all over the<br />
place each week.”<br />
A couple of those musicians are<br />
tenor saxophone players Jim Schroeder<br />
and Carol Ayres Stueven, both of<br />
whom have been per<strong>for</strong>ming with the<br />
Big Band <strong>for</strong> more than a decade.<br />
“This is a great chance to play with<br />
great musicians <strong>for</strong> an audience that is<br />
so appreciative that they’ve been coming<br />
back <strong>for</strong> years,” Ayres said. “It’s<br />
fun, happy music from a time when<br />
every generation of the family loved<br />
the same type of music.”<br />
Schroeder, who hails from Le Mars,<br />
said it’s cool to see how the crowd<br />
reacts to different types of music and<br />
the musicians themselves.<br />
Some react by simply smiling and<br />
tapping their toes while others can’t<br />
resist hitting the dance floor <strong>for</strong> multiple<br />
numbers.<br />
“Big band music is pretty special.<br />
It was the popular dance music of its<br />
day and is just fun and happy music,”<br />
Forney said. “We have people who<br />
grew up with it who love hearing it<br />
again and younger audience members<br />
sometimes who enjoy it as well. I encourage<br />
everyone to give the music a<br />
try and see what the show is like. We<br />
have a lot of fun.” F<br />

14-19, and it’s the first in a season that<br />
will bring both well-loved shows as<br />
well as new plays to the stage.<br />
“The theme <strong>for</strong> this season is Tradition<br />
Inspiring Innovation,” said<br />
Kirstin Racicot, the public relations<br />
director at Okoboji Summer Theatre.<br />
“It basically says that the ideal<br />
goal <strong>for</strong> the season was to offer some<br />
shows that were familiar and some<br />
that were more innovative — ones<br />
that will make the audience think a<br />
bit more.”<br />
The season’s first show is a good<br />
example of what OST is working to<br />
achieve with this season. It’s a musical,<br />
but not one that many people<br />
have heard much about.<br />
“In ‘The Spitfire Grill’ the music is<br />
fantastic and it’s actually won a lot<br />
of incredible music awards, but most<br />
people don’t know anything about<br />
this show,” Racicot said. “So, we’re really<br />
excited to be offering this show.”<br />
This show centers around a small<br />
town in Wisconsin and is based on<br />
the journey of a young woman named<br />
Percy and the people she meets in this<br />
small town.<br />
“It’s not a comedy but there are<br />
some moments in it and some humor,<br />
but it is not labeled a comedy.<br />
There are some darker moments, but<br />
it truly is a heartwarming show,” Racicot<br />
said.<br />
While this musical is more on the<br />
innovation end of the spectrum, there<br />
will be some well loved, traditional<br />
shows also in the lineup.<br />
“We’ll be doing the ‘Cinderella’ this<br />
year. We tried to do it last year and<br />
couldn’t make it happen. It’ll be the<br />
classic Rodgers and Hammerstein<br />
production. It’s a show <strong>for</strong> all ages,”<br />
Racicot said.<br />
Another traditional show that OST<br />
is bringing to the stage this year is<br />
“The Odd Couple,” and they’re bringing<br />
back some actors who are Okoboji<br />
Summer Theatre traditions in their<br />
own right.<br />
“Rob Doyen will be back and he’ll<br />
be playing in ‘The Odd Couple.’ We’ll<br />
also have an OST alum coming back<br />
who is currently doing a lot of work<br />
in L.A. with Disney who’ll be playing<br />
opposite Rob and I know he’s really<br />
excited to be working onstage with<br />
Rob.”<br />
“The Sound of Music,” another<br />
Rodgers and Hammerstein classic,<br />
will wrap up the season, but even<br />
these traditional shows will have their<br />
own unique twists.<br />
“They’ll all have a spin to them or<br />
a new twist — maybe a new way of<br />
seeing something,” Racicot said. “Just<br />
like last season when we put our own<br />
twist on ‘To Kill A Mockingbird,’ we’ll<br />
be doing the classic tale of ‘The Diary<br />
of Anne Frank,’ but we’ll be doing it<br />
with a twist again.”<br />
In general, Okoboji Summer Theatre<br />
is hoping this season helps build<br />
the anticipation <strong>for</strong> yet another season.<br />
“We’re just hoping with this season<br />
that the energy keeps building toward<br />
the 60th season.<br />
“We don’t want to overlook anything<br />
in the 59th season though and I<br />
think we’ve come up with the perfect<br />
mix of shows,” Racicot said. F<br />

Sheldon Summer Theatre varies offerings this summer<br />
It’s a varied bill of fare <strong>for</strong> Sheldon<br />
theatre fans this summer.<br />
The Sheldon High School Summer<br />
Theatre will present classic and<br />
acclaimed comedies, a story from a<br />
popular series of children’s books, a<br />
musical based on a hit movie, and a<br />
powerful story set during the horrors<br />
of the Holocaust and World War II.<br />
All shows will be presented alternately<br />
at the high school auditorium<br />
and in the school commons, with the<br />
opening per<strong>for</strong>mances in the auditorium.<br />
Admission is $7 <strong>for</strong> adults, $5<br />
<strong>for</strong> K-12 students and free <strong>for</strong> seniors<br />
65 and older and kids 4 and under.<br />
Tickets are available at the door.<br />
The 44th year of the only Iowa high<br />
school repertory company kicked off<br />
Thursday with “You Can’t Take It With<br />
You” and runs through July 16 with<br />
the final per<strong>for</strong>mance of “And Then<br />
They Came For Me.” Here’s a look at<br />
this summer’s offerings.<br />
“You Can’t Take It With You” is a<br />
classic comedy in three acts written<br />
by perhaps the most accomplished<br />
theatre duo of all time, George<br />
S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. After<br />
its Broadway premiere in 1936, it<br />
claimed the 1937 Pulitzer Prize <strong>for</strong><br />
Drama, oddly enough, be<strong>for</strong>e being<br />
filmed under the same title in 1938,<br />
starring James Stewart. It won Oscars<br />
<strong>for</strong> Best Picture and Best Director.<br />
The Vanderhof family at the center<br />
of the play is a group of cheerful, if<br />
bumbling eccentrics. When a daughter<br />
brings her boyfriend, the son of a<br />
powerful banker, home, mayhem and<br />
hilarity ensue.<br />
“You Can’t Take It With You” will be<br />
presented at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday<br />
and Saturday, June 9-11.<br />
“The Soapy Murder Case” is a madcap<br />
comedy and mystery set in a New<br />
York City penthouse apartment.<br />
Written by Tim Kelley, the play tells<br />
the story of Horatio Tucker, the creator<br />
of Tucker’s Tasty Pudding Powder<br />
and All-Purpose Detergent, who assembles<br />
the cast and crew of “The Best<br />
Tears of Our Lives,” which is, fittingly,<br />
a TV soap opera that he sponsors.<br />
When a dead body is discovered, the<br />
chase <strong>for</strong> the killer is on!<br />
“The Soapy Murder Case” will be<br />
staged at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday,<br />
June 16-18.<br />
“Macbeth Did It” is about a local<br />
theatre company’s “double, double<br />
toil and trouble” while attempting to<br />
produce the Scottish play.<br />
In the play, director Larry Rencher<br />
tries to get realistic per<strong>for</strong>mances from<br />
unskilled but dedicated local actors,<br />
including Dolly Dibble, the wife of<br />
the owner of the theater, who is cast<br />
as the bloody Lady Macbeth. Rencher<br />
finally stalks off in a huff. Will the<br />
play be ready <strong>for</strong> opening night?<br />
“Macbeth Did It” will be presented<br />
at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, June 23-<br />
25.<br />
“Ramona Quimby” was adapted by<br />
Len Jenkin from the popular books<br />
by Beverly Cleary. It tells the story of<br />
two quarrelsome sisters, Ramona and<br />
Beezus, and their family in contemporary<br />
Oregon.<br />
After their father is fired from his<br />
job, and the family endures struggles,<br />
the girls begin to realize that while<br />
you may not always like your sister,<br />
you will always love her.<br />
“Ramona Quimby,” the children’s<br />
show <strong>for</strong> the season, will be presented<br />
7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, June 30<br />
and July 1, and at 2 p.m. Saturday,<br />
July 2.<br />
Who doesn’t like a musical about a<br />
charming con man?<br />
“Catch Me If You Can,” a sort of<br />
modern “The Music Man,” is a musical<br />
adaptation of the story of con artist<br />
Frank Abagnale Jr., who wrote a 1980<br />
autobiography about his scams and<br />
frauds that was the source of the 2002<br />
hit movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio<br />
and Tom Hanks.<br />
The musical, with a libretto by Terrence<br />
McNally and a theatrical score<br />
by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman,<br />
was mounted on Broadway in 2011<br />
and earned a best actor Tony and a<br />
nomination <strong>for</strong> best musical.<br />
The play opens with Abagnale<br />
cornered by the FBI. He offers to tell<br />
his story of how he became a master<br />
charlatan and the play unfolds from<br />
there.<br />
“Catch Me If You Can” will be presented<br />
at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday,<br />
July 7-8, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 10.<br />
The season concludes with “And<br />
Then They Came For Me: Remembering<br />
the World of Anne Frank,” the<br />
moving story of Anne Frank and other<br />
Jews who were victimized by the Nazis<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e and during World War II.<br />
American author James Still created<br />
a multimedia production, with videotapes<br />
of Frank’s friends Ed “Hello”<br />
Silverberg, who died in 2015, and Eva<br />
Geiringer Schloss, who is still alive,<br />
telling their story as well as actors<br />
depicting the events of those years.<br />
Silverberg, Frank’s first boyfriend,<br />
and Schloss survived the war, unlike<br />
Frank, who was one of 6 million Jews<br />
slaughtered by the German government,<br />
led by dictator Adolf Hitler.<br />
This semi-documentary account of<br />
the horrors of the war and extermination<br />
policy of the Nazis has received<br />
widespread critical acclaim.<br />
“And Then They Came For Me” will<br />
be staged at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday,<br />
July 14-16. F<br />

Christian music festival sets up in Sheldon June 17-18<br />
RiseFest is set to begin its second<br />
decade with a bang. For the 11th<br />
year the Christian music festival<br />
will be bringing together a fantastic<br />
lineup of bands, musicians, ministers<br />
and more <strong>for</strong> a weekend of familyfriendly<br />
fun.<br />
“It’s crazy to think about how<br />
RiseFest has grown,” said Rob Roozeboom,<br />
the Rise Ministries president<br />
and founder. “I’m not sure we really<br />
even thought about how long it could<br />
go when we were first starting out and<br />
has just grown immensely the past<br />
several years.”<br />
The festival has changed locations<br />
over the years and now resides on an<br />
alfalfa field along Country Club Road<br />
in Sheldon. \<br />
Some of the dreams that Roozeboom<br />
said have been “great fun to see<br />
come true” include the expansion to a<br />
two-day festival as well as the expansion<br />
of camping availability.<br />
This year they are up to 119 different<br />
camping spots with tent availability as<br />
well as RV camping including electric<br />
hook-ups.<br />
“Watching the crowd grow has been<br />
wonderful and I’m excited to see what<br />
God does this year,” Roozeboom<br />
said. “I’d love to see the campground<br />
full with the grills going and Frisbees<br />
flying. People bringing their friends,<br />
family and co-workers <strong>for</strong> a fun night<br />
or <strong>for</strong> the whole weekend.”<br />
The weekend will feature a lineup<br />
including the likes of The Lasting<br />
Hope and Jordan Feliz, Building 429,<br />
Mandisa, Crowder, Newsboys, Chris<br />
Tomlin and many more.<br />
There will also be plenty going on<br />
in the seminar tent, youth area, kids<br />
zone and all-new tween area at different<br />
times throughout the festival.<br />
“It’s super exciting to have Newsboys<br />
back, along with Building 429,<br />
Friday will be a dynamite night,” Roozeboom<br />
said.<br />
“I was driving past the grounds<br />
the other day and Chris Tomlin just<br />
happened to come on the radio and<br />
I thought, ‘Wow, he’s going to be here<br />
leading worship on an alfalfa field in<br />
Sheldon.’ We’re blessed to have some<br />
of the biggest names in Christian rock<br />
coming to a small town and being<br />
able to see them all <strong>for</strong> this price is<br />
unreal. These musicians are dynamic<br />
and will move you in different ways.”<br />
Roozeboom also notes that RisFest<br />
is more than music, it’s a mission and<br />
an opportunity to raise awareness <strong>for</strong><br />
many ministries.<br />
RiseFest partners with Soles4Souls<br />
and Village Northwest Unlimited<br />
encourage festival goers to bring their<br />
old footwear to donate in the Demco<br />
wagon on the festival grounds.<br />
“It really culminates into a small<br />
parting of watching God work and<br />
seeing how He moves in our hearts,”<br />
Roozeboom said.<br />
“We got to see some dreams come<br />
true last year and are praying we get to<br />
again this year.”<br />
Families, friends and all festival<br />
goers are sure to have a fantastic time<br />
once again at RiseFest this Father’s<br />
Day weekend in Sheldon. F<br />

Going wild<br />
Iowa Lakeside Laboratory<br />
hosts Wild Wednesdays<br />
Iowa Lakeside Laboratory is once<br />
again inviting you and your kids or<br />
grandkids to their property to go a<br />
little wild.<br />
On Wednesday evenings, starting<br />
June 15 at 7 p.m., Iowa Lakeside<br />
Laboratory will once again be hosting<br />
their Wild Wednesday programs.<br />
These free, family-oriented events<br />
are an outreach program that has<br />
been going on <strong>for</strong> many years.<br />
“Since 1999, we’ve been hosting<br />
these Wild Wednesday programs.<br />
Lakeside’s traditional audience is college<br />
level students and we wanted to<br />
share what we do with the broader<br />
community more of what goes on<br />
at Lakeside Lab and the wonders of<br />
nature we learn about here,” said Jane<br />

Shuttleworth, the education coordinator<br />
at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory.<br />
“Friends of Lakeside Lab help sponsor<br />
these programs and they are the organization<br />
who has worked hard to help<br />
us develop these outreach programs.”<br />
This year’s theme <strong>for</strong> the Wild<br />
Wednesday programs is “Nature’s<br />
Engineers.” Engineering isn’t just a<br />
feat <strong>for</strong> humans, according to Shuttleworth.<br />
It’s also something that occurs<br />
all over in nature.<br />
“A lot of awareness is out there about<br />
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering<br />
and Math) education right now and<br />
we decided that nature is a wonderful<br />
way to learn about STEM,” Shuttleworth<br />
said. “There are a lot of creatures,<br />
like ants, who are great engineers.”<br />
The first Wednesday program will<br />
focus on “Building Shelters: Animal<br />
Homes,” but other topics throughout<br />
the summer will include pollination,<br />
water animals, animal communication,<br />
simple machines, and more.<br />
“We have a lot of examples to<br />
choose from in our first class about<br />
animal homes. The animal kingdom<br />
has a large variety of animals — not<br />
just vertebrates, but many invertebrates<br />
and we all share the same<br />
problem of how to find shelter,”<br />
Shuttleworth said.<br />
The programs are really geared<br />
toward curious people of all ages including<br />
children.<br />
“These are family programs. There<br />
are a lot of kids, but there are also many<br />
adults who come who don’t bring<br />
children but they come because they<br />
enjoy the children’s questions,” Shuttleworth<br />
said. “Children make it such<br />
fun because they have such enthusiasm<br />
and aren’t afraid to ask questions.<br />
That’s what makes learning fun.”<br />
There’s more to do at Iowa Lakeside<br />
Laboratory. Go and check it out —<br />
maybe even go a little wild. F<br />

“Pots and Pictures”<br />
Varied show displays talents of several local artists<br />

Photography, watercolors, oils and<br />
fabric art. Plenty of pottery and<br />
encaustic work as well. It’s all on<br />
display at Arts on Grand in Spencer<br />
through most of the month of June.<br />
The 13 local artists with work on<br />
display all have work <strong>for</strong> sale in the<br />
Arts on Grand gallery shop.<br />
Hence the name of the exhibit,<br />
“Pots and Pictures: From the Shop to<br />
the Gallery.”<br />
“This show is really fun <strong>for</strong> me because<br />
I really like all these artists and I<br />
like getting them all together,” curator<br />
Joanne Schar said.<br />
All of them includes Evelyn Ruhnke,<br />
the oldest of the artists in the show<br />
at 90 years of age.<br />
It is her flower petals and leaf art<br />
that greet visitors upon entering the<br />
gallery.<br />
“Evelyn just turned 90 and was here<br />
<strong>for</strong> the reception. It’s pretty amazing<br />
that she’s still doing such great artwork,”<br />
Schar said.<br />
While there is a great variety<br />
amongst the artists and their styles,<br />
Shar limited them to just three examples<br />
apiece as a way to tell a short<br />
story of their artistic talents.<br />
Schar describes Karen Ruddy’s<br />
mixed media work as “whimsical”<br />
and know many will also recognize<br />
the work of retired Spencer High<br />
School art teacher Mel Myers.<br />
It is his intricately carved vases, urns<br />
and bowls that make up the “pots”<br />
part of the “Pots and Pictures” exhibit.<br />
“All the markings on his pottery are<br />
done by hand be<strong>for</strong>e firing representing<br />
hours of work be<strong>for</strong>e they’re ready<br />
<strong>for</strong> the shop,” Schar said.<br />
Most of the art in the exhibit is also<br />
<strong>for</strong> sale if a certain work intrigues you<br />
enough to want to take it home.<br />
Unique <strong>for</strong> this exhibit will be the<br />
floral work of the Clay County Federated<br />
Garden Club, which will create<br />
a variety of floral arrangements to<br />
supplement certain works of art as<br />
part of an event called “Art in Bloom”<br />
during Flagfest weekend.<br />
The arrangements will be set up on<br />
Thursday, June 9 and be available <strong>for</strong><br />
public viewing on both Friday and<br />
Saturday.<br />
Pots and Pictures aplenty, and a few<br />
flowers <strong>for</strong> good measure, make <strong>for</strong> a<br />
lively gallery show this month at Arts<br />
on Grand. F<br />

Sunday will feature a poker<br />
run <strong>for</strong> both cars and bikes.<br />
Maurice has a reason to celebrate. It’s turning<br />
125 years old this year, and some<br />
citizens of Maurice have gotten together<br />
to pull together a two-day event, June 17-18, to<br />
mark the birthday.<br />
The event starts on Friday night with some<br />
old-school fun.<br />
“We have a community carnival on Friday<br />
night with a free pulled pork supper and then<br />
old school carnival games and pony rides,” said<br />
Mike Vander Stelt, the co-chair of the Maurice<br />
125th Quasquicentennial. “Then we’ll have<br />
bingo and at dusk we’ll be having a movie in the<br />
park. It’s going<br />
to be an<br />
old-time fun<br />
night.”<br />
Then on<br />
Saturday, it<br />
will be a full<br />
day of fun<br />
events.<br />
The day<br />
starts with<br />
a fun run/walk, which is followed by a vendor<br />
fair, car and tractor show, art and quilt show,<br />
inflatables <strong>for</strong> kids and carnival games.<br />
At 10:30 a.m. there will be the dedication of<br />
the Fireman Statue in front of the fire station.<br />
Following that, there will be old-time crafts <strong>for</strong><br />
kids and they’ll be opening the Time Capsule<br />
that was buried in 1991.<br />
“We’ll be cracking that open and have it on<br />
display. It should be interesting to see what they<br />
put in there,” Vander Stelt said.<br />
There will be a free hot dog lunch and horse<br />
drawn wagon ride historical tours around the<br />
town will begin.<br />
A Kiddie Parade will get kids out to decorate<br />
themselves, their bikes, wagons and even their<br />
dogs at 1:30 p.m.<br />
Local musicians, the Wickers will per<strong>for</strong>m at<br />
2:30 p.m. and then the town will be re-burying<br />
the Time Capsule and there will be a raffle drawing<br />
<strong>for</strong> the fire department. They will be raffling<br />
off a four-wheeler, a leaf and lawn vacuum, a<br />
shotgun and a smoker.<br />
