Side Trips<br />

Our daughter had the opportunity to<br />

take part in something significant in<br />

Washington D.C. last week.<br />

Sheldon-based RISE Ministries and Life-<br />

Light out of Sioux Falls took charter busses<br />

filled with teens and<br />

chaperones <strong>for</strong> the<br />

1,200-mile journey to<br />

attend an event called<br />

“Together 2016.” Rise<br />

Ministries founder<br />

Rob Roozeboom<br />

spoke about the gathering<br />

last month during<br />

RiseFest, the Christian<br />

music festival<br />

held on Father’s Day<br />

weekend in Sheldon,<br />

using the word “reset”<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

often as he talked and thus planting that<br />

word in my head.<br />

“Together 2016” had a goal of bringing<br />

one million people together on the National<br />

Mall to change history, sharing through<br />

speakers and musicians the message that Jesus<br />

offers a “reset.” I listened in to parts of it<br />

via live stream on the Internet last Saturday<br />

and quickly understood why our daughter<br />

was so excited.<br />

While there weren’t a million people<br />

there that day, speakers like Francis Chan,<br />

Ravi Zacharias and Nick Hall told the<br />

350,000 kids in attendance that they<br />

couldn’t just sit back and wait <strong>for</strong> someone<br />

else to do something, they had to be bold in<br />

their faith and their convictions. They had<br />

to help this country reset its barometer to<br />

Jesus in order to make the kinds of changes<br />

we need.<br />

With the unusual 2016 presidential race,<br />

terrorist attacks around the world and<br />

violence against police officers right here in<br />

our own country, I couldn’t agree more.<br />

Iowa In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

PUBLISHERS Something AND PRINTERS has to change. But I don’t<br />

think we can expect the next generation to<br />

carry this burden. It belongs to each of us.<br />

Sights of Summer | 7<br />

Kayaking<br />

Kayaking<br />

across Okoboji<br />

Summer<br />

Sights of<br />

Erin Radke<br />

On an early Saturday morning with the sun<br />

peeking over the trees on East Lake Okoboji,<br />

I often look out from my deck and<br />

see kayaks gently coasting across the water past<br />

my home.<br />

I have never kayaked, but I’ve always imagined<br />

it being a relaxing experience. On a typical<br />

morning in Okoboji, be<strong>for</strong>e the hustle and<br />

bustle of boats, the waves are calm and the shore<br />

is peaceful. In those moments I feel that kayaking<br />

would be the perfect activity to spend time<br />

on the lake.<br />

This past week I met Jeremy Snow, a water<br />

sports expert from Okoboji Boat Works on West<br />

Okoboji Lake. With his help I was finally going<br />

to learn how to kayak, something I’ve wanted to<br />

try my whole life. With the morning weather at<br />

a perfect 70 degrees and no trace of clouds, the<br />

water looked more beautiful than ever.<br />

A kayak is a low-to-the-water boat that requires<br />

balance, sitting face <strong>for</strong>ward and your legs<br />

in front parallel to one another. Jeremy showed<br />

me that by using a double-bladed paddle I<br />

would pull front-to-back through the water<br />

rotating each side of my body to keep my path<br />

even. If I wanted to turn, I would continue my<br />

rotating motion but would only place my paddle<br />

in the water on the side I wanted to travel to.<br />

As we began our journey from West Lake to<br />

East Lake, I noticed that the direction of the<br />

wind played a huge factor in the difficulty of our<br />

trip.<br />

If I paddled against the wind, I had to work<br />

extra hard to move <strong>for</strong>ward. With each passing<br />

wave Jeremy taught me to paddle between the<br />

peaks rather than through them. If the wind was<br />

against my back I had the opportunity to relax<br />

and coast in the direction that the waves would<br />

take me.<br />

Although I was nervous about the traffic<br />

of boats passing by, I quickly learned how to<br />

continue on my path safely while staying an<br />

appropriate <strong>dis</strong>tance away. Because of the beautiful<br />

weather, it seemed that everyone was in a<br />

chipper mood that morning. Passing through<br />

various bridges and marinas I shared a “good<br />

morning” with several happy Okoboji residents<br />

and visitors.<br />

What I enjoyed most about kayaking was not<br />

only the relaxing experience of coasting across<br />

the water, but the feeling of light exercise as my<br />

shoulders continued to rotate and work through<br />

the waves. By the end of the morning I was<br />

already a little sore but I wasn’t complaining.<br />

Sometimes the simplest activities on the lake<br />

can make you feel like you gave your body the<br />

brisk workout it deserves while still having a<br />

great time.<br />

Unlike most water sports, kayaking is an activity<br />

that has no age limit. It’s leisurely entertaining<br />

and needs minimal ef<strong>for</strong>t in order to have<br />

fun. As I continue on to my next “Sights of Summer,”<br />

I hope to kayak again in the near future. F<br />

Erin Radke has over the summer make<br />

Okoboji Bible Conference opens Saturday, July 30<br />

Continuing a longstanding tradition<br />

the Okoboji Bible Conference<br />

is back <strong>for</strong> its 82nd year.<br />

They’ll once again be featuring intriguing<br />

speakers, uplifting music and<br />

much more from July 30-Aug. 7.<br />

They are kicking off the nine-day<br />

conference at 7:15 p.m., Saturday, July<br />

30, with a free concert by the popular<br />

group, Selah.<br />

Selah is a contemporary Christian<br />

vocal trio. It is made up of Todd<br />

Smith, Allan Hall and Amy Perry.<br />

Selah has won seven Gospel Music Association<br />

Dove Awards and sold more<br />

than 4 million albums and single<br />

units combined.<br />

This will be their third time per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

at the Okoboji Bible Conference.<br />

“They are a conference favorite because<br />

their music spans generations,”<br />

said Jody Van Kley, the conference<br />

coordinator <strong>for</strong> Okoboji Bible Conference.<br />

“They also are known <strong>for</strong><br />

taking a church hymn and reworking<br />

it into something very contemporary<br />

and something people really enjoy<br />

listening to.”<br />

The concert is free and the doors<br />

open at 5:45 p.m. About 1,500 can<br />

fit in the tabernacle and the outside<br />

tented area and it’s first-come, firstserve<br />

when it comes to seating <strong>for</strong> the<br />

concert.<br />

Just like the rest of the nine-day<br />

conference, the Selah concert is completely<br />

free.<br />

“We just believe that the Lord has<br />

kept this event going <strong>for</strong> 82 years<br />

and it’s supported by the people who<br />

come and God has blessed us through<br />

gifts from those generous people,”<br />

Van Kley said. “We want it to be<br />

available <strong>for</strong> anyone and everyone to<br />

come.”<br />

The first weekend will also include<br />

some very interesting speakers. Skye<br />

Jethani and Joshua Becker will both<br />

give speeches on Sunday, July 31.<br />

Jethani is scheduled at 10:30 a.m. and<br />

Becker will follow later that evening at<br />

7:15 p.m.<br />

Those speeches as well as many of<br />

the rest throughout the nine-day conference<br />

will focus around this year’s<br />

conference theme: Redeeming Work.<br />

“It has a double meaning. The first<br />

meaning is to remind us that we are<br />

redeemed by Jesus so we celebrate<br />

that fact,” Van Kley said. “The second<br />

half of the meaning is that fact that<br />

the work we do every day is work we<br />

are called to do by God so that makes<br />

it redeemed.”<br />

This concept is <strong>dis</strong>cussed in Colossians<br />

3, verse 23, and according to<br />

Van Kley, it will be a common thread<br />

throughout the conference this year. F<br />

Everyone knows the rule is that<br />

you are supposed to be quiet in<br />

libraries. But the Hull and Hawarden<br />

Public Libraries are suspending<br />

that rule <strong>for</strong> a night.<br />

They are going to be hosting free concerts<br />

<strong>for</strong> all who would like to attend.<br />

The folk duo Hungrytown will be<br />

per<strong>for</strong>ming at both venues. They will<br />

first be per<strong>for</strong>ming in Hull on Monday,<br />

Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m. and Hawarden on<br />

Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 7 p.m.<br />

Matt Hoehamer, the director of the<br />

Hull Public Library, noted that this<br />

isn’t the first time that they’ve suspended<br />

the quiet in the library rule.<br />

“Hungrytown is a folk music duo<br />

and we’ve done a couple of music<br />

programs in the past year. We’ve had<br />

some really good turnouts <strong>for</strong> those,”<br />

Hoehamer said. “Since we had such a<br />

good response to those types of programs,<br />

we were looking to host some<br />

more music per<strong>for</strong>mances.”<br />

He received an email from the band<br />

announcing that they would be in the<br />

area.<br />

“I listened to some samples of their<br />

songs and I, myself, enjoy folk music<br />

and based on the response from the<br />

people who have come to the per<strong>for</strong>mances,<br />

I thought that Hungrytown<br />

would be a band that people would<br />

enjoy,” Hoehamer said.<br />

Hungrytown is composed of Rebecca<br />

Hall and Ken Anderson. They<br />

were introduced to folk music when<br />

a friend died and left Hall her collection<br />

of folk albums and a guitar. Hall<br />

went on to write lyrics and songs <strong>for</strong><br />

two solo albums, “Sings!” and “Sunday<br />

Afternoon.” Both of those initial<br />

albums were produced by Anderson.<br />

In 2003, the two decided to quit<br />

their jobs and move to Vermont to<br />

pursue music as a full-time job.<br />

They’ve been touring ever since. They<br />

have released three albums together<br />

including; “Hungrytown,” “Any Forgotten<br />

Thing,” and “Further West.”<br />

They tour more than half of the<br />

year and have spent time in North<br />

America, Europe and New Zealand.<br />

If you are hungry <strong>for</strong> some fun music,<br />

then make sure to head to Hull or<br />

Hawarden to hear Hungrytown. F<br />

Fly through the sky<br />

Sky Ryder Zip Line offers thrills and stunning views<br />

A<br />

new attraction has joined the<br />

amenities in Arnolds Park this<br />

summer. The Sky Ryder Zip Line<br />

soars above the condos and cabins<br />

hundreds of feet in the air at Bridges<br />

Bay Resort.<br />

Along with The WaterFront, which<br />

includes a wedding and event center,<br />

Waters Edge American Grille and Blue<br />

Water Flatbread Pizza Co., the Sky Ryder<br />

Zip Line is another new addition<br />

to the resort roster this season.<br />

“We have a brand new facility with<br />

The WaterFront and just a lot going<br />

on,” event coordinator Megan Johnson<br />

said.<br />

“The zip line is another fun attraction<br />

<strong>for</strong> everyone who comes to visit<br />

and <strong>for</strong> families to enjoy.”<br />

The zip line fits two riders side-byside<br />

pulling them backwards until<br />

they reach the top be<strong>for</strong>e sending<br />

them sailing through the air back<br />

down to Earth.<br />

Johnson was one of the first test riders<br />

<strong>for</strong> the zip line the night be<strong>for</strong>e it<br />

opened in late June.<br />

“You’re going backwards wall and<br />

thinking ‘Oh geez, when’s it going to<br />

stop and shoot back down,’” Johnson<br />

said.<br />

At its apex riders will get a stunning<br />

view up to 4.5 miles across East and<br />

West Lake Okoboji and the surrounding<br />

area.<br />

“Once you’re up there that view is<br />

just gorgeous, there’s nothing like it,”<br />

Johnson said. “Then you go flying<br />

Bill Lieb has new exhibit at Dickinson County Nature Center<br />

Metal work and nature.<br />

Not two things that you<br />

think would go together symbiotically,<br />

but Spirit Lake artist Bill<br />

Lieb has shown it can be done at his<br />

new exhibit at the Dickinson County<br />

Nature Center entitled, “Connecting<br />

with Nature Through Sculpture.”<br />

The new exhibit can be found in the<br />

eARTh exhibit area at the nature center<br />

and it explores the relationships<br />

between “certain site-specific pieces<br />

he has created and the environments<br />

they reside in,” according to a statement<br />

from the nature center.<br />

“All of these, except one, are kinetic;<br />

the wind activates them,” Lieb said. “I<br />

love that part. I think it draws your attention<br />

to it because it moves. When it<br />

moves, you start to think about wind<br />

and breezes and the nature of it.”<br />

Kiley Roth, the community relations<br />

coordinator <strong>for</strong> the nature center,<br />

agrees that Lieb’s metal sculptures<br />

walk hand-in-hand with nature.<br />

“Lieb’s artwork fits in well with the<br />

nature theme, specifically the sculptures<br />

shown in this exhibit. Lieb chose<br />

site-specific sculptures to <strong>dis</strong>play, and<br />

all of them were designed around the<br />

area that they were to live in. Most of<br />

the sculptures are kinetic and move in<br />

the wind, and that activation by nature<br />

itself makes them even more connected<br />

to the world around them,”<br />

Roth said.<br />

The exhibit details Lieb’s entire process<br />

when he sets out to create a new<br />

piece.<br />

This <strong>for</strong>mer architect’s first step is<br />

to do a walkthrough of the site and<br />

analyze the site <strong>for</strong> potential problems<br />

and pitfalls. Then he creates a<br />

freehand sketch of the ideas he’s come<br />

up with <strong>for</strong> the sculpture.<br />

Then it gets a little bit more technical.<br />

Those sketches are turned into<br />

computer drawings. The plans are<br />

then tested on cardboard models.<br />

Once the test of the cardboard<br />

models is complete and the computer<br />

renderings tweaked and perfected, the<br />

drawings are sent off to a steel fabricator.<br />

The various sections that make<br />

up the entire piece are cut with a laser<br />

and then they are welded together<br />

either by Lieb’s own two hands or<br />

sometimes with the help of another<br />

welder.<br />

Some of Lieb’s models are on <strong>dis</strong>play<br />

along with photos of the finished<br />

products at the eARTh exhibit, but<br />

there is another piece that you’ll have<br />

to take a look at.<br />

Lieb completed one of his newest<br />

sculptures right at the nature center.<br />

Bird Series No. 3 is one in his series of<br />

five kinetic bird sculptures.<br />

“We were excited to have Bill Lieb<br />

<strong>dis</strong>play at the nature center to expand<br />

our eARTh exhibit offerings. Since<br />

the exhibit area’s inception we have<br />

had mainly two-dimensional artwork,<br />

and Lieb’s exhibit that includes<br />

models of his sculptures as well as a<br />

temporary outdoor sculpture, let us<br />

expand into the three-dimensional<br />

world,” Roth said. “The models and<br />

bright colors in the <strong>dis</strong>play really<br />

draw people in when they walk into<br />

the nature center.”<br />

For those interested in learning a bit<br />

more about Lieb and his art during a<br />

class he’s hosting from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.,<br />

Wednesday, July 27, at the nature center.<br />

The class will walk to see eight of Lieb’s<br />

sculptures and he will talk about<br />

his work and how nature actually influenced<br />

each of the pieces. Students<br />

will be provided with wood materials<br />

and will be able to create their own<br />

sculpture models.<br />

“I hope they see a connection between<br />

KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER<br />

Retelling a familiar story<br />

“The Diary of Anne Frank” on stage now at OST<br />

I<br />

don’t know a single person who<br />

made it through middle and high<br />

school without being assigned “The<br />

Diary of Anne Frank,” as required<br />

reading material.<br />

I know I had to write a lengthy book<br />

report on the story.<br />

For the most part, it’s a story that<br />

everyone is familiar with, but it’s not<br />

often that you are presented with a<br />

familiar story in a new way.<br />

That’s just what is happening onstage<br />

now at Okoboji Summer Theatre<br />

with their production of Wendy<br />

Kesselman’s “The Diary of Anne<br />

Frank.” It will be onstage from July<br />

19-24. Her adaptation of the original<br />

stage play by Goodrich and Hackett<br />

incorporates newly <strong>dis</strong>covered writing<br />

from the diary of Anne Frank as well<br />

as some accounts from survivors.<br />

It’s much more brutal than what I<br />

remember of the original production,<br />

but that starkness is contrasted with<br />

moments of happiness and joy.<br />

That joy is brought to the stage by<br />

Anne Frank, our central character and<br />

narrator of our story. She is played<br />

by Clara Bentz, who faithfully portrays<br />

Anne’s dual driving emotions<br />

of wanting to remain true to herself,<br />

while struggling to overcome the fear<br />

of the unknown. Bentz convincingly<br />

presents a young 13-year-old girl who<br />

is average in many ways. She’s overdramatic,<br />

walking the wire between<br />

adulthood and childhood, and, of<br />

course, she doesn’t get along with her<br />

mother.<br />

The rest of the group that is<br />

smashed together in the secret annex,<br />

which kept the assembled Jews alive<br />

<strong>for</strong> two years be<strong>for</strong>e they were <strong>dis</strong>covered,<br />

is compiled of three families.<br />

Anne’s family is headed by father<br />

Otto, played by Ivan Zizek, mother<br />

Edith, played by Abilene Olson, and<br />

sister Margot, played by Haley Huskey.<br />

The assemblage is rounded out by<br />

the three Van Daans and Mr. Dussel.<br />

The live play is interspersed with<br />

Anne reading from her diary and from<br />

recordings played through the radio.<br />

All of the actors did a fine job, but<br />

I am compelled to add one caveat.<br />

They all had thick German accents,<br />

which at times got a bit muddled,<br />

thus it made it hard to understand the<br />

dialogue at times. Hopefully, this is a<br />

kink that they will work out with a bit<br />

more time on the stage.<br />

Those moments were few though,<br />

and definitely should not <strong>dis</strong>courage<br />

people from going to see this show.<br />

As you certainly already know, the<br />

ending of this show is not a happy<br />

one, but it was certainly illuminating.<br />

It is amazing that the story of a<br />

13-year-old girl has persisted through<br />

more than six decades, but it certainly<br />

is an amazing story worthy of the retelling.<br />
