Honestly, I’ve been <strong>for</strong>tunate over the<br />
15 years that I’ve had a cell phone.<br />
I haven’t lost one, broken one or<br />
dumped one into a sink or toilet.<br />
But last week I was<br />
loaded down with a<br />
tote bag, an armload<br />
of wet towels, my<br />
phone and an empty<br />
drink cup as I stepped<br />
out of the boat onto<br />
our dock. I reached<br />
back in to grab another<br />
empty cup when I<br />
felt the phone slip out<br />
of my hand and hit the<br />
dock.<br />
Replaying that scene<br />
in slow motion, I watched the phone hit<br />
the dock, bounce and drop into the water<br />
next to our boat lift. It spiraled <strong>for</strong> the first<br />
18 inches until I couldn’t see it any longer.<br />
My husband sprang from the boat and<br />
without hesitating lowered himself into the<br />
chest-high waters. “Where did it go?” he<br />
asked. Following the direction of my pointing<br />
finger, he gingerly felt around with his<br />
toes and located it in less than 10 seconds.<br />
I couldn’t believe it. Cradling the phone<br />
as I dried it off, I felt as if a prized possession<br />
had been returned. I submerged the<br />
phone in a bag of rice overnight, as that’s<br />
what everyone said to do, but I was skeptical.<br />
The phone continued to ding reminders<br />
as text messages came in, yet I remained<br />
only guardedly optimistic. The next morning<br />
I removed the SIM card to check <strong>for</strong><br />
water and that too was dry.<br />
Ten days later I’m feeling pretty confident.<br />
The only thing I’ve noticed at this point is<br />
that the finger-print scanner no longer rec-<br />

A Pioneer kind of party<br />
Mil<strong>for</strong>d celebrates annual Pioneer Days<br />
At a Glance:<br />
A<br />
fantastic parade.<br />
Plenty of inflatables.<br />
Pinochle, bingo, barbecue<br />
and much more.<br />
The annual Pioneer Days celebration<br />
is set <strong>for</strong> another fun<br />
summer weekend July 22-24 in<br />
Mil<strong>for</strong>d.<br />
Several area businesses are<br />
sponsoring a number of the<br />
great events throughout the<br />
weekend helping the Mil<strong>for</strong>d<br />
Commercial Club keep the<br />
costs minimal <strong>for</strong> those heading<br />
out to enjoy the activities.<br />
“We’ve been able to keep<br />
everything free or very low cost<br />
with the help of great sponsorships<br />
which is a tremendous<br />
help,” said Dawn Powell of the<br />
Mil<strong>for</strong>d Commercial Club.<br />
One of the few events that<br />
will cost a few bucks is the public<br />
tasting portion of the Pioneer<br />
Pitmasters BBQ Competition<br />
and it’s an event Powell is<br />
WHAT: Pioneer Days<br />
WHERE: Mil<strong>for</strong>d<br />
WHEN: July 22-24<br />
COST: Most events are free<br />
CONTACT: 712-320-4512<br />
ONLINE: www.mil<strong>for</strong>dcommercialclub.com<br />
eager <strong>for</strong> people to enjoy this<br />
year.<br />
“It’s the third annual one<br />
this year and we already have<br />
double the amount of entries<br />
from last time,” Powell said.<br />
“We changed the location to<br />
Florence Park this year and<br />
there will be some exceptional<br />
barbecue <strong>for</strong> people to try.<br />
We’re really excited about that.”<br />
Contestants will be vying<br />
<strong>for</strong> a Green Mountain Daniel<br />
Boone pellet grill as grand prize<br />
donated by Cutting Edges Sales<br />
& Service.<br />
There will 300 pounds of<br />
pork loin and 200 pounds of<br />
ribs slow-cooked to perfection<br />
and available <strong>for</strong> the public tasting<br />
portion of the event.<br />
While there will be no fire department<br />
water fights this year<br />
due to road construction, all the<br />
other familiar and fun activities<br />
are back and better than ever.<br />
An arts & crafts sale will join<br />
the Cherokee Ridge Runners at<br />
Buchanan Park.<br />
“The Pioneer Arts & Crafts<br />
Sale is new this year and we’re<br />
hoping <strong>for</strong> about 30 vendors.<br />
It should be a great way to<br />
draw more traffic to that park<br />
throughout the weekend,” Powell<br />
said.<br />
Of course the parade anchors<br />
everything on Saturday at 11<br />
a.m. followed by the opening of<br />
the inflatables, noon barbecue<br />
and other activities in Florence<br />
Park. There will be a few new<br />
inflatables this year.<br />
The Human Foosball tournament<br />
is also back and this year,<br />
and there will be both adult and<br />
youth divisions available.<br />
Card games have been split<br />
up this year with Bridge and<br />
Cribbage on Friday at St. Joseph<br />
Catholic Church with 500 and<br />
Pinochle on Sunday.<br />
And don’t <strong>for</strong>get bingo in between<br />
on Saturday. Powell says<br />
there are a lot of great bingo<br />
prizes this year.<br />
Big concerts at Boji Bay Legacy<br />
Park will also be drawing big<br />
crowds to Mil<strong>for</strong>d as well both<br />
Friday and Saturday nights.<br />
Barbecue, parades, inflatables,<br />
outdoor concerts, bingo<br />
and so much more.<br />

Truck on<br />
Commercial Chaos <strong>for</strong> a Cure Semi Poker Run set <strong>for</strong> Saturday, July 23<br />
At a Glance:<br />
One semi after another is going to be hitting<br />
the road in Sioux Center on Saturday, July<br />
23, all in an ef<strong>for</strong>t to raise money <strong>for</strong> a<br />
good cause.<br />
Commercial Chaos <strong>for</strong> the Cure is now in its<br />
third year and it will feature a day filled with<br />
a poker run <strong>for</strong> big rigs as well as a fun-filled<br />
evening featuring a free-will dinner, games, a<br />
bouncy house <strong>for</strong> the kids and some raffles.<br />
The event kicks off on Saturday morning at 10<br />
a.m. at the Sioux County Fairgrounds in Sioux<br />
Center. Registration is $45 and includes a free<br />
t-shirt and a goodie bag. All of the congregated<br />
semis head out together at 11 a.m. <strong>for</strong> a poker<br />
run around N’West Iowa.<br />
They’ll be making stops at the Oak Street Station,<br />
a new truck stop in Inwood, IA, and the<br />
people there will be putting on a meal <strong>for</strong> the<br />
drivers and the passengers.<br />
Then it’s on to the fairgrounds in Rock Rapids.<br />
“This year, we teamed up with the Lyon<br />
WHAT: Commercial Chaos <strong>for</strong> A Cure: 3rd<br />
Annual Semi Poker Run<br />
WHERE: Begins at Sioux County Fairgrounds<br />
in Sioux Center, IA<br />
WHEN: 10 a.m., Saturday, July 23. Evening<br />
activities begin at 5:30 p.m.<br />
COST: $45 registration <strong>for</strong> Poker Run. Free-will<br />
offering in the evening.<br />
ONLINE: Find them on Facebook.<br />
County Relay <strong>for</strong> Life team and they are going to<br />
be putting on the stop in Rock Rapids,” said Paul<br />
Schelling, the president of Commercial Chaos<br />
<strong>for</strong> a Cure and a Sioux Center resident. “They<br />
are going to do some sort of cupcakes so that<br />
should be something fun and different.”<br />
From there, they’ll make stops in Sibley, Hull<br />
and then it’s back to Sioux Center where the<br />
whole community is invited to join in the fun.<br />
“We’ll have an opening speech, open up<br />
the circus style games and the bean bag tosses<br />
and Nerf guns, and we’ll open up the bouncy<br />
house,” Schelling said. “Then we’ll have the<br />
meal. It’s really just a time <strong>for</strong> people to come<br />
and have a good time.”<br />
There is no charge <strong>for</strong> admittance to the community<br />
get-together, but the meal is a free-will<br />
offering.<br />
There will also be some raffles going on and<br />
one of the biggest raffles they have this year is <strong>for</strong><br />
a golf cart.<br />
All of the money raised goes to benefit the<br />
June E. Nylen Cancer Center and a portion of<br />
the fundraiser will also go to the Lyon County<br />
Relay <strong>for</strong> Life.<br />
The June E. Nylen Cancer Center is a place<br />
near and dear to the heart of one organizer.<br />
That is where Schelling received his treatments<br />
when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s<br />
lymphoma.<br />
“I’m a trucker and I own a trucking company<br />
now, and I was thinking while I was laying there<br />
getting treatment and this idea popped into my<br />
head <strong>for</strong> this event,” Schelling said. “I called<br />
Dolan DeRoon. He’s a real optimist, like myself,<br />
and I asked if he thought this could work. We<br />
gathered some more friends and put together<br />
the first event.”<br />
Last year, they doubled the size of the event<br />
from the first year and had 56 trucks and about<br />
150 people at the evening event.<br />
They hope to continue to grow it even more.<br />
“We really want people to know that anyone<br />
and everyone is invited to come to the free-will<br />
meal and fun during the evening. We really<br />
want to see more of the community come out,”<br />
Schelling said.<br />
The evening activities are scheduled to begin<br />
around 5:30 p.m. F<br />

Prins Insurance has been in business since 1936. The history<br />
begins from a one room office to our modern and expansive<br />
facility in Sanborn and Sheldon. Our present day Prins Insurance<br />
is an independent insurance agency. Our mission: to provide a<br />
consistent and stable market with competitive insurance products<br />
to meet the needs of our clients. This is accomplished by partnering<br />
with numerous regional and national insurance carriers. Current<br />
ownership of the agency includes Dave Van Essen, Jim Jansen, Bruce<br />
Mosier, and Amber Bosma. Through the years there has been an<br />
addition of sales people and office personnel with 15 employees now<br />
employed in two locations. This growth has led to specialization and<br />
departmentalization with Commercial Trucking, Personal, Farm/<br />
Crop and Commercial Insurance Lines as well as Risk Management<br />
Services. We have also developed and administer a program <strong>for</strong> the<br />
state Land Improvement Contractors Association in 11 states. We<br />
actively write business in Iowa and the surrounding states, but our<br />
niche programs have allowed us the opportunity in 20+ U.S. states,<br />
of which we are licensed. We have a broad reaching business in this<br />
sense, but also appreciate and enjoy our involvement in the local<br />
communities here in northwest Iowa. We have a lot to be proud of<br />
and are glad to call O’Brien County our home.<br />

Amusement Park<br />

AFTERNOON<br />
Summer<br />
Sights of<br />
Erin Radke<br />
I<br />
have always loved Arnolds Park Amusement<br />
Park.<br />
As a kid my parents would take me there once<br />
a year, and – to me – it was one of my favorite<br />
parts of summer vacation. No ride would go unnoticed,<br />
no opportunity <strong>for</strong> a thrill left behind.<br />
Despite all the fond memories, I hadn’t visited<br />
the park <strong>for</strong> the past three summers so I decided<br />
to spend an afternoon with friends and family<br />
checking out the rides.<br />
The ride I’ve always looked <strong>for</strong>ward to the<br />
most is The Legend Roller Coaster.<br />
When I arrived at the park I instantly made<br />
riding the roller coaster my top priority. My<br />
cousins, aunt and uncle joined my roommate<br />
Lexy and I <strong>for</strong> the first ride. As we filed into our<br />
seats, the nostalgia kicked in.<br />
Like many children who have visited Arnolds<br />
Park Amusement Park over the last several decades,<br />
this ride holds many special memories<br />
<strong>for</strong> me. It was the first roller coaster I ever road<br />
on. I’ve had countless friends and family sit next<br />
to me in the coaster’s black leather seats. The<br />
sound of the clanking tracks hauling the passengers<br />
to the top of the first peak is a familiar<br />
tune that I could never <strong>for</strong>get. It’s the kind of<br />
familiarity that I hope to feel years from now<br />
when I bring my own children to Arnolds Park<br />
someday.<br />
It’s safe and it’s happy and it has memories I<br />
will never <strong>for</strong>get.<br />
After sailing multiple loops around the roller<br />
coaster track, I decided to make my way through<br />
the center of the park.<br />
The Swinger and Scrambler did not disappoint<br />
us as we shuffled side to side and turned<br />
in loops high above the ground.<br />
The Log Flume was extremely refreshing. As<br />
the 90-degree heat sizzled down our backs, the<br />
fresh water soaked our clothes when the log<br />
plummeted to the bottom of the track.<br />
For the first time ever I road The Spider and it<br />
was phenomenal.<br />
Rides that whirl and twirl while traveling at<br />
fast speeds are my kind of rides. The Spider not<br />
only spins in a circular, up and down motion,<br />
but each individual cart also spins in circles to<br />
the left or right. Of any ride I’ve ever been on, I<br />
can honestly say I’ve never laughed harder.<br />
To cap off the afternoon we set our sights on<br />
the Ferris Wheel. As we gradually soared above<br />
the park into the blue sky I could see all of West<br />
Lake Okoboji. Boats coasting across white caps<br />
of endless waves, families walking from store to<br />
store. The view was simply breathtaking.<br />
Leaving the park was bittersweet.<br />
My Sunday afternoon was transitioning into<br />
evening and the park would soon close. Reflecting<br />
on the day I was sad our time at Arnolds Park<br />
Amusement Park had come to an end but I was<br />
also thankful I had the chance to visit after a few<br />
summers away.<br />
This week’s “Sight of Summer” not only reminded<br />
me of countless memories spent at Arnolds<br />
Park Amusement Park, but it also made me excited<br />
<strong>for</strong> more visits in the years to come. F<br />

Comedy improv troupe is back at PLAC July 23<br />
At a Glance:<br />
WHAT: The Second City<br />
WHERE: Pearson Lakes Art Center,<br />
2201 Hwy 71, Okoboji, IA<br />
WHEN: 8 p.m., Saturday, July 23<br />

History:<br />
Bernard Sahlins, Howard Alk<br />
and Paul Sills, son of teacher Viola<br />
Spolin, founded The Second<br />
City as a place where scenes<br />
and story were created improvisationally,<br />
using techniques that<br />
grew out of the innovative techniques<br />
Spolin developed and<br />
taught. The Second City chose<br />
its self-mocking name from the<br />
title of an article about Chicago<br />
by A. J. Liebling that appeared<br />
in The New Yorker in 1952.<br />
Andrew Alexander and his<br />
recently deceased partner Len<br />
Stuart acquired The Second City<br />
in 1987. Andrew Alexander has<br />
helmed the Second City <strong>for</strong> 42<br />
years and has produced television<br />
programs in both the United<br />
States and Canada including “SC-<br />
TV,” “Second City Presents” and<br />
“Next Comedy Legend.” Since its<br />
debut, The Second City has been<br />
a launching pad <strong>for</strong> comedians,<br />
actors, directors and others working<br />
in show business.<br />
- From www.secondcity.com<br />
Laughter is the best medicine, or so<br />
the saying goes.<br />
If you want a good dose of that<br />
particular brand of medicine then<br />
you’ll want to head to the Pearson<br />
Lakes Art Center on Saturday, July 23.<br />
The Second City, a comedy improv<br />
troupe based out of Chicago, will be<br />
back in Okoboji <strong>for</strong> the 12th consecutive<br />
year.<br />
“We keep bringing them back to the<br />
area because it’s something different<br />
to see, and our patrons like it,” said<br />
Amanda Schindler, the per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
arts director at the Pearson Lakes Art<br />
Center. “I notice around the area that<br />
it’s a lot of bands that per<strong>for</strong>m, and<br />
not too many top notch comedy acts,<br />
so it’s nice to have something different<br />
to go see.”<br />
The Second City has a number of<br />
touring shows and the one that will be<br />
onstage at the Lauridsen Per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
Arts Theatre at the Pearson Lakes Art<br />
Center will be Blue Co. and the show<br />
is “Fully Loaded.”<br />
On a snowy evening in Chicago in<br />
December of 1959 The Second City<br />
comedy club officially opened its<br />
doors.<br />
It’s not only a comedy club. The<br />
Second City has grown to be one of<br />
the nation’s top schools <strong>for</strong> theatre,<br />
comedy and improvisation. They have<br />
live shows every night in a number of<br />
locations including Chicago, Toronto<br />
and Hollywood.<br />
The Second City has turned out<br />
some of the funniest people we know<br />
today. Some of it’s alumni include:<br />
Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, John<br />
Belushi, John Candy, Steve Carell,<br />
Stephen Colbert, Rachel Dratch, Chris<br />
Farley, Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, Bill Murray,<br />
Mike Myers, and many, many<br />
more.<br />
The comedians who will be onstage<br />
in Okoboji at 8 p.m., Saturday night,<br />
July 23, will be Adam Archer, Alison<br />
Gates, Greg Ott, Dewayne Perkins,<br />
Emma Pope and Maria Randazzo.<br />
This might be your chance to see the<br />
next famous comedian be<strong>for</strong>e they hit<br />
Hollywood or even end up on Saturday<br />
Night Live.<br />
Tickets will go fast, so you’ll want to<br />
call and get your tickets soon.<br />
Schindler can’t wait to see The Second<br />
City.<br />
“I enjoy improv from time to time,<br />
and I’ve not ever seen this group<br />
per<strong>for</strong>m. I hear great things about<br />
them and am excited to see them,”<br />
Schindler said. F<br />

All in the family<br />
“You Can’t Take It With You” on stage at OST<br />
Family. They somehow have the<br />
ability to serve a dual purpose in<br />
our lives.<br />
We love them. But sometimes, they<br />
drive us absolutely bonkers.<br />
That’s exactly the dynamic that is<br />
being explored in this week’s show at<br />
Okoboji Summer Theatre. “You Can’t<br />
Take It With You” by George Kaufman<br />
and Moss Hart debuted on Tuesday,<br />
July 12 and will run through Sunday,<br />
July 17.<br />
It’s a comedy that first premiered on<br />
Broadway in 1936 and won the Pulitzer<br />
Prize <strong>for</strong> Drama in 1937.<br />
The play follows the admittedly<br />
colorful and more than a little offbeat<br />
Vanderhof-Sycamore-Carmichael<br />
clan.<br />
The large family is bursting at the<br />
seams with bright, vivid and unapologetically<br />
eccentric characters.<br />
The patriarch of the clan is Grandpa<br />
Vanderhof, played by OST veteran and<br />
fan favorite Rob Doyen. Grandpa is<br />
committed to doing what makes him<br />
happy and that includes taking care of<br />
his pet snakes, going to commencement<br />
speeches and laughing at those<br />
around him who take life a bit too<br />
seriously.<br />
In addition to Grandpa, we have his<br />
daughter Penelope, played by Emmi<br />
Lintner, who is an avid playwright<br />
who doesn’t ever seem to get around<br />
to finishing many of her plays.<br />
Her husband, Paul, played by Jon<br />
Martin, makes fireworks down the<br />
basement alongside Mr. De Pinna,<br />
who came to deliver milk eight years<br />
ago and never left.<br />
Throw in a candy maker who is<br />
constantly practicing her ballet by<br />
pirouetting around the living room,<br />
a Russian expat ballet instructor and<br />
a few more oddballs and the show is<br />
ripe <strong>for</strong> laughs.<br />
Just watching these kooky characters<br />
would be enough to keep an audience<br />
entertained, but what’s a play<br />
without some extra drama? To top<br />
that, what’s a family without some<br />
extra drama?<br />
Madison Welch plays Alice, one of<br />
the more ‘normal’ members of the<br />
family. Alice has fallen in love with<br />
Tony, played by Dalton Mobley. And<br />
they want to get married.<br />
Alice has the classic problem. She<br />
loves her family, but she’s not so sure<br />
her husband and her future in-laws<br />
will.<br />
Bringing the two families together<br />
sets the scene and lights the match to<br />
explode some fireworks, literally and<br />
figuratively.<br />
The show is intelligent and so is<br />
the humor. Lines come fast and from<br />
many different voices as the show features<br />
most of the characters onstage<br />
all together.<br />
I commend the actors <strong>for</strong> convincingly<br />
creating the atmosphere of controlled<br />
chaos on stage.<br />
I won’t spoil the plot, but I will say<br />
that I was touched by this weird but<br />
likable family. In fact, I won’t name<br />
names, but it sort of reminded me of a<br />
few select members of my own family.<br />
Family, you gotta love ‘em. F<br />

Putting things in perspective<br />
Artists showcase wonderful work in their first shows at PLAC<br />
Two new exhibits. Two artists with local ties.<br />
Lauren Chapman attended high school in<br />
Spirit Lake and is currently a student at the<br />
University of South Carolina. Danielle Clouse<br />
Gast is originally from Ruthven and works out<br />
of her home studio in Spirit Lake. Both have<br />
exhibits running from June 30-August 13 at the<br />
Pearson Lakes Art Center in Okoboji.<br />
Lauren Chapman’s show is titled “Repetitions”<br />
and expounds upon a lesson learned<br />
from an early art instructor, Hank Hall, during<br />
high school and was later reen<strong>for</strong>ced during her<br />
studies towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in<br />
painting with an art history minor at the University<br />
of South Carolina.<br />
Repetitions are evident in Chapman’s paintings<br />
whether in colors, patterns or details. Her<br />
portraits and landscapes are awash in vivid colors<br />
and dazzling repeated details.<br />
“She’s taken a lesson from Hall to a different<br />
level,” visual arts director Britney Hansen said.<br />
“She has developed a style distinctly her own<br />
and her paintings are on a grand scale that is<br />
impressive <strong>for</strong> a young artist.”<br />
For Chapman the exhibit is a dream come true<br />
and a validation that she chose the right path <strong>for</strong><br />
her career.<br />
“Back in high school I was inspired to pursue<br />
art and made to feel I was pretty good at it,”<br />
Chapman said. “I was then kind of told that art<br />
was just a hobby so I tried different majors be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
settling back into painting. I knew this was<br />
what I wanted to do.”<br />
She was recently back in the Iowa Great Lakes<br />
<strong>for</strong> the artist reception <strong>for</strong> her show, which had<br />
quite the turnout.<br />
“It was great to see so many people I know out in<br />
support and <strong>for</strong> my first-ever artist talk , and it went<br />
really well. I was really happy with it,” Chapman<br />
said. “Britney and Hank have been great supporters<br />
through the years and this was the perfect spot<br />
to have my first show. These are the people I grew<br />
up with and shaped who I am today, so it meant a<br />
lot that they were here to share one of the happiest<br />
experiences of my life so far.”<br />
Britney Hansen and Chapman have know<br />
each other quite awhile having played soccer<br />
together at Spirit Lake High School and it was<br />
Hansen who called Chapman while she was<br />
studying abroad in Italy to inquire about putting<br />
together a gallery show.<br />
Chapman jumped at the chance and painted<br />
<strong>for</strong> hundreds of hours to finish the 25 pieces in<br />
the show.<br />
She had painted a lot of landscapes while<br />
in Italy and while working on “Repetitions”<br />
wanted to incorporate those with aspects of<br />
home including lake sunsets and cornfields and<br />
the major flooding that occurred in her adopted<br />
state of South Carolina.<br />
“I worked so hard in one year taking on my<br />
own style after pulling inspiration from so many<br />
others. It’s been a really magical time in my<br />
work and I’ve learned so much about myself and<br />
where I want to go from here,” Chapman said.<br />
The next step is graduate school as Chapman<br />
looks to further her education in the arts. And<br />
<strong>for</strong> sure more and more art along the way as

Chapman continues to grow and develop her<br />
work.<br />
For now check out her very first gallery show<br />
in the Weaver Lobby Gallery and McIlrath Landing<br />
Gallery. It’s a debut not to be missed.<br />
Follow another set of stairs to the lower<br />
level of the Pearson Lakes Art Center and another<br />
first-timer has a show in the John & Karen<br />
Goodenow Gallery.<br />
Danielle Clouse Gast’s work is familiar to<br />
many in the Iowa Great Lakes area and she is no<br />
stranger to the art center having worked as its<br />
visual arts director <strong>for</strong> a time. Some of her work<br />
has hung in the facility be<strong>for</strong>e, but believe it or<br />
not, this her first show there as a solo artist.<br />
“To have this show at Pearson is a big deal <strong>for</strong><br />
me and designing an exhibit <strong>for</strong> a place I care so<br />
much about has been so important to me at this<br />
point in my career,” Clouse Gast said.<br />
The first thing that strikes the viewer at the<br />
exhibit is the scale. Many of the paintings are<br />
several feet tall or wide or both.<br />
The next thing many will notice is the color<br />
palette. A lot of greens with some blues and an<br />
occasional other shade here or there.<br />
“For any painter it’s fun to go so big and with<br />
landscapes and especially these aerials it works<br />
best and is ultimately most successful on a large<br />
scale,” Clouse Gast said. “And the color palette<br />
has been a fun challenge introducing other colors<br />
including blues.”<br />
Clouse Gast’s landscapes are rendered in a<br />
more abstract, almost cubist, style that Clouse<br />
Gast said she’s always been drawn to in her artwork.<br />
It’s a technique that lends itself well to landscapes<br />
and really emphasizes the patterns inherent<br />
in Iowa Great Lakes area.<br />
In the past her landscapes have been mostly<br />
inspired by views seen from ground level. For<br />
this show, “From the Ground Up,” the viewpoint<br />
has shifted to the air. The title is both a<br />
play on words in regards to seeing things from<br />
the seat of an airplane as well as the challenge of<br />
trying something different.<br />
With a husband who is a pilot, Clouse Gast’s<br />
new work is a chance to see familiar scenes from<br />
a new perspective.<br />
“From that viewpoint there seemed to be<br />
paintings everywhere,” Clouse Gast said. “Some<br />
are more obvious than others and some are<br />
places we would often just drive past without<br />
thinking otherwise.”<br />
Working from photos she started painting<br />
last October and continued through May. While<br />
blizzards blanketed the landscapes outside,<br />
Clouse Gast jumped into the task of painting<br />
those aerial persectives full of summer colors.<br />
Several months of work have certainly paid<br />
off as “From the Ground Up” invites viewers to<br />
see their surroundings in the Iowa Great Lakes<br />
in a new way.<br />
“I hope it brings people a refreshed and innovative<br />
perspective on the area. I wanted it to be<br />
different from anything I’ve done but relatable<br />
to those familiar with my work,” Clouse Gast<br />
said. F<br />

2016 Polaris General 1000<br />
Going <strong>for</strong> a spin with Glen’s Sport Center<br />
Glen’s Sports Center of Sheldon,<br />
IA, is home to the brand new<br />
2016 Polaris General 1000. It is<br />
anticipated to be in high demand this<br />
year. A spin-off of the Polaris Ranger,<br />
this side-by-side has a sporty, rugged<br />
look that packs a powerful 100 horsepower<br />
engine capable of speeds up to<br />
70 mph.<br />
Kelly Jongerius, manager of Glen’s<br />
Sports Center, says that the General is<br />
perfect <strong>for</strong> any on-road and off-road<br />
transportation. Whether you’re farming,<br />
riding the General recreationally<br />
or are running errands around your<br />
property, this vehicle can serve a large<br />
variety of general purposes.<br />
I took the 2016 Polaris General<br />
1000 <strong>for</strong> a ride across bumpy hills,<br />
creek bottoms and pasture and I<br />
definitely wasn’t disappointed. The<br />
General has the ability to increase to<br />
thrilling speeds at a rapid rate giving<br />
you an instant rush of adrenaline.<br />
Driving the General is simply safe<br />
and com<strong>for</strong>table. With an automatic<br />
transmission, an adjustable steering<br />
wheel and gage, bucket seats,<br />
waterproof vinyl interior, doors and<br />
seatbelts, I felt well equipped to<br />
handle any terrain com<strong>for</strong>tably. If the<br />
seatbelts aren’t buckled, the Polaris<br />
General will only reach a maximum<br />
speed of 10 mph until the passengers<br />
are securely fastened.<br />
With all the communities in<br />
N’West Iowa allowing ordinances <strong>for</strong><br />
side-by-side permits, owners of the<br />

General can legally drive the vehicle<br />
in town and can push snow with an<br />
attached plow in the front, according<br />
to Jongerius.. He said that many customers<br />
are driving the General over a<br />
typical standard vehicle.<br />
“The General is becoming a second<br />
or third vehicle <strong>for</strong> most people,” says<br />
Jongerius. “A lot of people are leaving<br />
their pickup sit and are using the General<br />
to go to work, especially on the<br />
farm.”<br />
The General is the perfect helpinghand<br />
<strong>for</strong> any farmer or large property<br />
owner. With a dumping box on the<br />
back side, large items can be easily<br />
transported from place to place. The<br />
front of the vehicle features a winch<br />
that can pull up to 4,500 pounds.<br />
The 2016 Polaris General 1000<br />
is listed at $18,500. Jongerius says<br />
that of all the exciting features, the<br />
100-horsepower and firm suspension<br />
make the General the best buy<br />
around.<br />
“If you want to drive a fast, multipurpose<br />
side-by-side vehicle,” said<br />
Jongerius, “The 2016 Polaris General<br />
1000 simply can’t be beat.” F<br />
