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 />

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 />

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 />
nature and sculpture and how<br />
nature can in<strong>for</strong>m a design,” Lieb<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 />
