Side Trips<br />
We have a high school graduate in<br />
our family this year.<br />
All of you parents who have<br />
walked this road before us know that it’s a<br />
happy/sad time. Thus<br />
far we’ve been enjoying<br />
the experience, but<br />
we know there will be<br />
some tears the day of<br />
commencement.<br />
I had always intended<br />
to keep detailed<br />
scrapbooks for<br />
both of my kids, but<br />
that never happened.<br />
My son’s book at<br />
least gets past his first<br />
birthday, but for our<br />
daughter, the last entry<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
is her baptism at the age of 6 weeks.<br />
Instead, what I have are file folders for<br />
each year of their academic career. I saved a<br />
variety of things, but always limited myself<br />
to one file folder per year.<br />
As I flipped through those folders last<br />
week, I came across birthday greetings that<br />
my son’s first-grade classmates had drawn<br />
for him and that the teacher had stapled<br />
into one big booklet. Many of the birthday<br />
wishes also include comments like, “You’re<br />
good at basketball,” or “You are good at<br />
sports.” Some of the primitive drawings<br />
made reference to the Minnesota Vikings<br />
or the Iowa State Cyclones.<br />
Our son has been in the minority with<br />
most of his friends, as they were all Hawkeye<br />
fans, but Sam has been true to the Cyclones<br />
his entire life.<br />
My favorite drawing in the birthday<br />
greetings was from one of those Hawkeye<br />
fan friends. He drew a picture of a scoreboard<br />
(it’s not quite clear what the sport is)<br />
with the Hawkeyes scoring 999 points, and<br />
on the other side, the Cyclones coming up<br />
with 1,000.<br />
Now that’s true friendship for you!<br />

Tickets range from $10-15 for adults<br />
and $5 for children.<br />
“The success of this rodeo owes a lot<br />
to the volunteers who help organize<br />
it and the supportive business community<br />
we have that helps it happen<br />
in many ways,” said Julie Hering Kent,<br />
executive director of the Cherokee<br />
Chamber of Commerce. “We have<br />
a peer volunteer group that works<br />
year-round to take care of many details,<br />
and of course, working with the<br />
The annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Cherokee Rodeo is<br />
set for Thursday-Saturday, June 1-3, and offers a variety of fun activities<br />
for the entire family. PHOTOS BY RETA TODD<br />
Barnes PRCA Rodeo is great. This is<br />
essentially their hometown event and<br />
a great tradition.”<br />
When it all comes together each<br />
year, the Cherokee PRCA Rodeo is<br />
three days of family fun and rodeo action.<br />
Kids enjoy free activities with rodeo<br />
admission all three nights, which includes<br />
pony rides, petting zoo and a<br />
kiddie train.<br />
The most adventurous 6-9-year-olds<br />
can sign up for Mutton Bustin’ and<br />
Animal Scramble on Thursday and<br />
Friday. Those events will take place at<br />
6:30 p.m.<br />
New to the rodeo this year will be<br />
trick rider Dusta Lee Kimzey, on hand<br />
to entertain the crowd along with<br />
rodeo announcer Randy Taylor and<br />
rodeo clown Scott Cameron. Also on<br />
hand throughout the three days will<br />
be Miss Rodeo Iowa 2017 Logan Kinyon<br />
and Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa 2017<br />
Allison Pauley.<br />
The biggest draw outside of actual<br />
rodeo action is always the Rodeo Parade.<br />
Starting at Washington High<br />
School and running from Bluff Street<br />
to Highway 59 all the way to the fairgrounds,<br />
the parade brings out quite a<br />
crowd.<br />
“The Rodeo Parade always draws<br />
out lots of participants and spectators,”<br />
Hering Kent said. “It’s the biggest<br />
parade in the community, during<br />
our biggest event of the year. It certainly<br />
carries a Western theme, but not<br />
all of the floats are rodeo related.”<br />
Back at the rodeo itself, Hering Kent<br />
likes to emphasize that all three nights<br />
are different, with new competitors<br />
each time around.<br />
It is also an officially sanctioned<br />
rodeo, so all competitors must be<br />
members of the PRCA or Women’s<br />
Professional Rodeo Association.<br />
“These are all professional athletes,”<br />
Hering Kent said. “Some of<br />
these folks will compete in rodeos all<br />
around the country and even go to<br />
the national finals in Las Vegas.”<br />
Get there early, enjoy fun games<br />
with the kids, even shop from a variety<br />
of Western-style vendors.<br />
There is plenty for the whole family<br />
to enjoy all three days during the<br />
Cherokee PRCA Rodeo. F<br />

Noble County Pioneer Village opens for the summer<br />
Worthington, MN, may be<br />
caught up with the 21st Century,<br />
but a pocket of it will<br />
always be stuck in the past.<br />
The Nobles County Pioneer Village<br />
opens for the summer Memorial<br />
Day, and it will be ready for visitors<br />
Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-5<br />
p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. every week<br />
through Labor Day.<br />
Pioneer Village is a labor of love of<br />
the Nobles County Historical Society,<br />
dating back to its purchase of an old<br />
schoolhouse in 1944.<br />
Since then, more than 40 different<br />
buildings have been added to the site,<br />
where visitors can truly get a feel for<br />
the things people did, what they used<br />
and how they lived in the late 19th<br />
and early 20th centuries in Nobles<br />
County.<br />
“We like to refer to it as the gem<br />
on the prairie,” said Shari Nelson, a<br />
board member of the Nobles County<br />
Historical Society.<br />
That gem includes buildings ranging<br />
from a dental office to a blacksmith<br />
shop, as well as a barbershop,<br />
barn, bank, two churches, jail, a fire<br />
hall, grain elevator, prairie homes and<br />
much more.<br />
Nelson actually has a personal connection<br />
to the saloon building, which<br />
was formally a general store.<br />
“When my grandfather homesteaded<br />
in the county, he purchased a stove<br />
there,” Nelson said. “And now that<br />
strove is in the pioneer house.”<br />
It’s not just the buildings that bear<br />
witness to the past, but the equipment,<br />
furniture and other items<br />
RYLAN HOWE | STAFF WRITER<br />
inTIME<br />
within them that hold a window to<br />
past generations and their way of life.<br />
From a telephone operator’s machine<br />
to an old linotype in the newspaper<br />
building, the tools of the past<br />
come to life.<br />
“Dear to my heart is the steam<br />
tractor,” Nelson said. “We also have<br />
an old farm house that a Civil War<br />
veteran used to live in and an old sod<br />
house that was made by past board<br />
members and is still standing after<br />
many, many years.”<br />
While the village is open to the<br />
public on a daily basis during the<br />
summer, certain buildings are also<br />
available for rentals for private events,<br />
corporate outings and weddings. They<br />
range from 60-person capacity in the<br />
Small Pioneer Church to 300-person<br />
capacity in the Big Barn.<br />
Visitors can also take advantage of<br />
a few unique events at Pioneer Village<br />
both during and outside of its normal<br />
operating season.<br />
There are the Old Fashioned Fourth<br />
of July and Christmas celebrations as<br />
well as the Halloween Trail in October.<br />
“It’s such a neat place, so we always<br />
try to provide lots of neat things for<br />
people to do, and we’ll always be adding<br />
more pieces,” Nelson said. “So<br />
much has changed since people came<br />
to the county in the 1880s. Preservation<br />
of history is so very important.<br />
If we don’t save and share, it’s soon<br />
forgotten.”<br />

today, preserved at the Nobles County<br />

History Lesson<br />
In 1958, the Nobles County Historical<br />
Society purchased a schoolhouse<br />
that had been closed since<br />
1944. The building was first moved<br />
to the county fairgrounds, where it<br />
became an attraction during county<br />
fair time. It was generally closed at<br />
other times.<br />
Eventually, a decision was made<br />
to make other arrangements for<br />
the showing of the schoolhouse.<br />
In 1968, the society felt the school<br />
was only a part of the history of<br />
the county and that other buildings<br />
could be acquired to further<br />
show evidence of our historical<br />
past. Two and one-half acres were<br />
purchased, and the schoolhouse<br />
became the first building in the<br />
Pioneer Village. There are now 49<br />
buildings on the grounds, of which<br />
36 are available for viewing.<br />
Pioneer Village is conveniently<br />
arranged to allow visitors to go in<br />
many directions to see those things<br />
which are of interest to them. Visitors<br />
are encouraged to go at their<br />
own speed as they view the various<br />
buildings. If they are part of a tour<br />
group, guides can be made available<br />
if arrangements have been<br />
made prior to the tour.<br />

Buffalo Days was initiated with a<br />
single event.<br />
Thirty-three years ago, a local<br />
wood-carving group began hosting<br />
Arts in the Park.<br />
“They were trying to sell some of<br />
their things,” said Jane Wildung Lanphere,<br />
executive director of the Luverne,<br />
MN, Chamber of Commerce.<br />
She said Jim Viland was credited<br />
with beginning the event.<br />
“Then somebody else thought of<br />
another good idea, then someone<br />
thought of incorporating a parade,<br />
and it just grew from there,” Lanphere<br />
said.<br />
This year’s event will be held<br />
Friday-Sunday, June 2-4.<br />
The events begin on Friday with the<br />
annual United Methodist Church Pie<br />
and Ice Cream Social and Cruise-In,<br />
which will feature music from rock<br />
‘n’ roll band the Starfires.<br />
Hot air balloon rides also will be<br />
offered Friday evening for the first<br />
time.<br />

“We had to cancel those last year<br />
because of bad weather,” Lanphere<br />
said.<br />
Saturday is jam-packed with<br />
events, including the Buffalo Days<br />
parade, Arts in the Park, a Fun Run<br />
and the infamous Buffalo Chip<br />
Throwing Contest.<br />
More offerings to look out for include<br />
Tae-Kwon-Do demonstrations,<br />
free inflatables and a block party.<br />
Saturday night, the Rock County<br />
Speedway will feature micro-sprints,<br />
mini-mods and factory stock races at<br />
the Rock County Fairgrounds. Doors<br />
will open at 5 p.m., hot laps begin at<br />
6 p.m., and the races start at 7 p.m.<br />
“We’re excited this year, because<br />
the fair board stepped up to offer the<br />
races,” Lanphere said, noting beer<br />
and food will be available. “We used<br />
to struggle to find things to do Saturday<br />
night, but now we have all sorts<br />
of things happening.”<br />
Sunday morning, four-five<br />
churches will come together to host<br />
a community worship service at the<br />
Historic Palace Theatre.<br />
The Rock County Historical Society<br />
then will feature “Tales from the<br />
Graves,” an event featuring more<br />
than a handful of re-enactors, who<br />
will share interesting stories about<br />
people who have passed away.<br />
“It’s a fun, quirky thing to do,”<br />
Lanphere said.<br />
The community also will play host<br />
to the annual Luverne Baseball Association<br />
Tournament throughout the<br />
Luverne, MN, hosts<br />
annual celebration<br />
June 2-4<br />
weekend.<br />
Lanphere said numerous people<br />
come out to the events.<br />
“If we have a good day for Arts in<br />
the Park, we’ll have 2,000 or more<br />
people throughout the day. With the<br />
parade, some years the streets are<br />
lined with people, and some years<br />
it’s a little bit more slim, it just depends<br />
on the weather,” she said. “At<br />
the Cruise-In, we’ve had up to 240<br />
cars, so if each car brings two people,<br />
that’s 500, and we’ve had 2,000-<br />
3,000 people downtown that night.”<br />
Lanphere said the weekend’s events<br />
are great for the whole family to attend,<br />
and she noted the celebration<br />
is a great opportunity to plan family<br />
reunions.<br />
“We invite everybody to come to<br />
Luverne, and we welcome you with<br />
open arms to have a great time, and<br />
it’s going to cost you little or nothing<br />
unless you want to buy something,”<br />
she said. “It’s a great thing to do for<br />
families and people of all ages.” F<br />

SUMMER<br />
Sioux Center hosts event to mark start of the season<br />
Summertime only happens once<br />
a year, so it’s fitting that the community<br />
of Sioux Center would<br />
host a festival commemorating its<br />
arrival.<br />
The Sioux County city of about<br />
7,050 will host its 20th annual Sioux<br />
Center Summertime Celebration<br />
Thursday-Sunday, June 1-4, giving<br />
residents and visitors the chance to<br />
brush off those winter doldrums and<br />
step into the sun.<br />
“We are just excited about everything,”<br />
said Heather Rozeboom, event<br />
coordinator for the Sioux Center<br />
Chamber of Commerce. “We love this<br />
event. It kind of kicks off summer for<br />
everyone.”<br />
The Summer Celebration has been<br />
going on since 1997 and this year, it<br />
will include a multitude of popular<br />
events.<br />
One such event, the annual community<br />
cookout, will continue as<br />
usual 5-7 p.m. Thursday at Central<br />

Park.<br />
“It brings absolutely everyone out<br />
in Sioux Center,” Rozeboom said.<br />
“We always have such a great turnout.”<br />
During the event, fairytale characters<br />
— two princesses and one superhero<br />
— will be roaming around the<br />
park, and they will be available to take<br />
photographs with children.<br />
Entertainment Thursday evening<br />
will consist of Dordt College’s traveling<br />
band the New City and magician<br />
Travis Nye, both of which will perform<br />
in the Central Park Band Shell.<br />
Friday will have a golf tournament<br />
hosted by the Sioux Center Kiwanis<br />
and a cruise night, featuring vintage<br />
cars.<br />
That night’s entertainment includes<br />
an outdoor concert featuring the Dirty<br />
Word Band with special guests The<br />
Ruralists. Before the concert starts, the<br />
chamber will host a business cookoff,<br />
which is a new event this year.<br />
“There’s about 10 businesses in<br />
town that will be participating, and<br />
they are free to do whatever they<br />
want. They can either grill or smoke<br />
something; the options are endless,”<br />
Rozeboom said. “We’ll have sample<br />
sizes for people to try, and they can<br />
vote on who’s best. The winner will be<br />
awarded a People’s Choice trophy.”<br />
Saturday will kick off with the<br />
WOW Bike Ride, where participants<br />
can choose to ride six, 30 or 60 miles.<br />
Then it’s time to carb up at the annual<br />
pancake breakfast at the fire station.<br />
Central Park will be the site for the<br />
Kids Karnival, which will feature a Ferris<br />
wheel, inflatables, train and pony<br />
rides, face painting and a pedal pull.<br />
The park also will play host to a hot<br />
dog eating contest for both adults and<br />
kids.<br />
The day will continue with the annual<br />
parade, followed by the third<br />
annual 5K Glow Run and fireworks.<br />
The weekend will come to a close<br />
Sunday morning with a community<br />
church service.<br />
Rozeboom encourages both residents<br />
and visitors to take advantage<br />
of the Sioux Center Summer Celebration.<br />
“Other than just a few of the events,<br />
everything else is free,” she said. “It’s<br />
just a fun way to kick off the summer<br />
and celebrate Sioux Center.” F<br />

It’s time to run. Or walk. Or even<br />
roll.<br />
The 12th Annual Village Northwest<br />
Unlimited Run, Walk & Roll will be<br />
held Saturday, June 3, in Sheldon.<br />
Registration is underway and costs<br />
$35 per person. Packet pick-up is<br />
encouraged for the 10K and 5K participants<br />
to be done 4-5:30 p.m. the<br />
Friday before the race at the Wansink<br />
Center at Village Northwest Unlimited,<br />
though there will be availability<br />
the morning before the race. Onemile<br />
walk/wheelchair roll participants<br />
can check-in prior to 7:30 a.m. the<br />
morning of the event.<br />
“This has really been popular, because<br />
it’s something the city of Sheldon<br />
has really rallied around,” said<br />
Lisa Johnson, director of development<br />
at the Village. “The support for the village<br />
in general is tremendous, and this<br />
event offers something for all ages and<br />
all abilities. Almost anyone can come<br />
on a Saturday morning and walk or<br />
roll a mile.”<br />
The event raises funds for programming<br />
at the facility, which serves<br />
adults with intellectual and developmental<br />
disabilities, autism spectrum<br />
disorder and traumatic brain injuries.<br />
“All the funds raised stay right here<br />
for programs and services with a concentration<br />
right now on autism programming<br />
and day programming,”<br />
Johnson said.<br />
Twelve years into the event, Johnson<br />
said they continue to add and<br />
improve wherever they can.<br />
That includes the addition of live<br />
music to the finish line a couple years<br />
ago.<br />
“We always want to get better and<br />
make it a success each year,” Johnson<br />
said. “The music made for a fun and<br />
festive atmosphere, and people stay<br />
and cheer on other participants. It’s<br />
really a fun Saturday.”<br />
This year, a couple tweaks have been<br />
made to the 10K route, which will<br />
now include a loop through the trails<br />
section in the Sheldon Crossing area.<br />
“It’s nice to be able to show off the<br />
trails work that has been done, and<br />
this takes out a couple hills from the<br />
route,” Johnson said.<br />
Johnson also noted the event has<br />
grown quite a bit over the years, and<br />
participation continues to be strong,<br />
though weather is always a factor.<br />
“In 2015, we hit our goal of having<br />
400 participants for our 40th anniversary,<br />
and this year we have 348 registered<br />
as of May 19, so with two weeks<br />
to go, we stand to get close or pass 400<br />
again,” Johnson said.<br />
That’s a long line of runners, walkers<br />
and rollers making their way<br />
around Sheldon.<br />
Last year, one participant and one<br />
resident weren’t content with the<br />
1-mile roll and instead teamed up to<br />
complete the entire 5K route.<br />
“They did several practice runs to<br />
make sure they were comfortable for<br />
that longer route, and they created a<br />
friendship through training, which<br />
was pretty cool to see,” Johnson said.<br />
Cheer on everyone next Saturday at<br />
the 12th Annual VNU Run, Walk and<br />
Roll. F<br />

CELEBRATE<br />
the<br />
Supporting the arts.<br />
That’s the focus of the Pearson Lakes Art<br />
Center’s annual Celebrate the Arts fundraiser.<br />
This year’s event, which has a theme of “The<br />
White Party,” will be held 6-10 p.m. Saturday, June<br />
3, at the Okoboji facility.<br />
“Guests are encouraged to wear their Okoboji<br />
summer whites,” said Amanda Schindler, performing<br />
arts director at PLAC.<br />
She noted that the building will be decorated in<br />
the color as well.<br />
“Essentially everything that can be considered<br />
decor is white,” Schindler said.<br />
ARTS<br />
Pearson Lakes Art Center hosts<br />
annual fundraiser<br />
The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with cocktails,<br />
hors d’oeuvres, an art silent auction and live entertainment<br />
from Taylor Huseman.<br />
A gourmet dinner prepared by Duane Zahradnik,<br />
owner of Yesterdays in Arnolds Park, will be served<br />
at 7 p.m.<br />
A live auction — featuring items ranging from<br />
dinners to artwork and a vacation — and entertainment<br />
by Kiefer Brandt and Scott Larsen is on the<br />
agenda for 8 p.m.<br />
At 10 p.m., guests are invited to enjoy specialty<br />
drinks and gather around Kozy Heat fireplaces on<br />
PLAC’s back patio.<br />
Tickets for the event are $100 and can be purchased<br />
at PLAC, located at 2201 Highway 71, or by<br />
calling the facility at 712-332-7013.<br />
According to Juli Johnson, accountant at PLAC,<br />
about 250 people usually attend the annual fundraiser,<br />
which she said is a great opportunity to support<br />
the art center.<br />
She’s looking forward to the event.<br />
“I’m mostly excited to see our friends that come<br />
back for the summer,” Johnson said. “I just like to<br />
see all of the people who come out to support the<br />
art center. It’s our one operating fundraiser throughout<br />
the year, so it’s exciting.” F<br />

PLAC<br />
The Pearson Lakes Art Center<br />
was founded in a small,<br />
barn-like building, serving as<br />
an informal gathering place.<br />
The second location had a tree<br />
growing out of it with summer<br />
breezes.<br />
Started by a group of determined<br />
painters, the facility has struggled,<br />
stretched and grown due to the<br />
commitment of the community and<br />
the dedication of its volunteers and<br />
donors.<br />
PLAC moved to its present site<br />
in 1991, and although its size, location,<br />
facilities and capabilities have<br />
changed throughout the years, its<br />
mission remains the same — to<br />
broaden horizons through the arts.<br />
PLAC delivers educational<br />
programming to students of all<br />
ages through instructional classes;<br />
lectures and exhibitions, exposes<br />
community members to numerous<br />
forms of art, including visual, music,<br />
drama, writing and film; serves as<br />
an advocate for the arts with partners<br />
in schools and other neighboring<br />
organizations and provides an<br />
important outlet for local and regional<br />
artists to exhibit and market<br />
their work.<br />

If you don’t have time for everything this weekend,<br />
HERE’S OUR SUGGESTIONS OF WHERE YOU SHOULD START.<br />
1<br />
DON’T MISS IT! Go exploring<br />
There’s a new place to explore in the Iowa Great Lakes. The Dickinson County Conservation Board<br />
obtained a fresh property, and it’s inviting nature lovers to come and view the area on its next<br />
monthly Hike the Wild program on Tuesday, May 23. The event will take place at Pioneer Nature<br />
Preserve, located south of Milford along Highway 71.<br />
4 5<br />
Messerole Music<br />
Jordan Messerole has performed<br />
on stages throughout the Iowa<br />
Great Lakes for several years<br />
now. The Gardens is one venue<br />
that has eluded him thus far, but<br />
that will be remedied this Memorial<br />
Day weekend. Sunset Funset<br />
with Jordan Messerole will<br />
perform 5-9 p.m. on both Friday<br />
and Saturday, May 26-27, at<br />
The Gardens. Weather permitting,<br />
the performances will take<br />
place on the deck outside, allowing<br />
guests to take both the music<br />
and sunset in stride.<br />
2 3<br />
Local To Global<br />
From the frigid waters of the Northwest Passage to all the<br />
wild corners of Minnesota. And a year in the life of a solitary<br />
Wisconsin bur oak tree. The wonders of the natural world<br />
astound everyone from time to time. Three Midwest photographers<br />
have turned their lenses on the world around them<br />
and now share their discoveries with visitors at the Pearson<br />
Lakes Art Center in Okoboji. The works of Mark Hirsch, David<br />
Thoreson, and Brian Peterson are on display in “Local to<br />
Global: The Unique Stories of Three Midwestern Photographers”<br />
May 11-July 1 in the Monte Pearson Gallery.<br />
Find A Flea Market<br />
It’s that time of year again. Time<br />
to hunt for that rare antique, look<br />
for a unique gift or simply enjoy<br />
some time shopping in the<br />
great outdoors of the Iowa Great<br />
Lakes. That’s right, it’s flea market time once again. The Memorial<br />
Day weekend flea markets will be in full swing starting<br />
Saturday, May 27. The markets at Treasure Village, Vick’s Corner<br />
and the Dickinson County Fairgrounds will be ready for visitors<br />
with hundreds of vendors apiece selling collectibles and<br />
furniture, crafts, art, clothing and much more.<br />
Safe To<br />
Swim<br />
Is it safe to<br />
swim? That’s<br />
the topic the<br />
next Iowa Lakeside<br />
Laboratory’s<br />
Friends Science<br />
Seminar Series<br />
will explore at<br />
7:30 p.m. Tuesday,<br />
May 23, in<br />
Mahan Hall at the<br />
campus located<br />
at 1838 Highway<br />
86 in Milford.<br />
Mary Skopec,<br />
executive director<br />
of Lakeside Lab,<br />
will present the<br />
program, which<br />
also will delve into<br />
the history<br />
of public beach<br />
monitoring in the<br />
state.

Artist in Residence Program<br />
On Thursday, May 25 at<br />
7:00 p.m., three 2017<br />
Lakeside Artists-in-<br />
Residence will host an interactive<br />
Open Studio in Bodine<br />
Lab. The public will have the<br />
opportunity to view works<br />
in progress and interact with<br />
three artists, each with a different<br />
approach to exploring<br />
the interface between art and<br />
science.<br />
Quin Kennedy is a digital<br />
artist from Seattle with a background<br />
in dance, theatrical<br />
lighting and programming.<br />
His art work features interactive<br />
installations that explore<br />
how non-human elements<br />
displace the artist in direct<br />
decision making.<br />
Mary Claire Becker is an<br />
MFA candidate in printmaking<br />
at the University of Iowa.<br />
Her work is inspired by ecology<br />
and merges decorative<br />
elements with the complexity<br />
of scientific illustration. Her<br />
compositions question how<br />
we think about nature by<br />
exploring the boundary between<br />
the decorative and the<br />
wild.<br />
Eric “Oz” Andre is a creative<br />
technologist from Seattle,<br />
whose artwork is influenced<br />
by his Midwestern upbringing.<br />
Born in Illinois and<br />
raised in Iowa, his world view<br />
focuses on the importance of<br />
character and the rewards of<br />
hard work. Andre explores the<br />
relationship between humans<br />
and technology. His MFA thesis,<br />
titled “I Can So I Will Now<br />
We Must: A Creative Response<br />
to Selfie Culture,” is an exploration<br />
of online social<br />
networking and its effects on<br />
our sociological, psychological<br />
and physical wellbeing.<br />
On Tuesday, May 30 at 7:30<br />
p.m., Alex Braidwood, sound<br />
artist and director of the<br />
Lakeside Artists-in-Residence<br />
program, will present “Listen<br />
Right Here,” at Mahan Hall as<br />
part of the Friends of Lakeside<br />
Lab Science Seminar Series.<br />
