Side Trips<br />

I<br />

was making my way to my usual spot in the<br />

bleachers <strong>for</strong> Friday night’s high school football<br />

game when I met another mom headed<br />

the opposite direction.<br />

She greeted me, then<br />

added, “Have enough<br />

layers there?”<br />

I sure hoped I did.<br />

Friday night football<br />

weather has been remarkable<br />

this year, but<br />

I always come prepared.<br />

The first week, way back<br />

in August, actually felt<br />

the chilliest to me, and<br />

that was because of the<br />

wind. Every game since<br />

has been really nice —<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

jacket required, but no rain and little wind.<br />

Friday’s weather felt a lot more like typical<br />

fall, and with the wind blowing, I dressed in<br />

layers, and carried in a few more. I don’t do<br />

well in cold weather, especially when you<br />

aren’t moving, so in addition to a long-sleeve<br />

shirt, sweater and winter coat, I wore two pairs<br />

of socks, boots, and an ear band. I brought a<br />

heavy knit scarf, my thickest mittens and a<br />

blanket. And hand warmers.<br />

I paced myself and didn’t need the hand<br />

warmers until after the band’s halftime per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

Why is that the second half always feel<br />

longer than the first?<br />

When the mom I had met as I arrived returned<br />

to her seat just in front of me, I realized<br />

she had been admiring my armload of extras.<br />

She hadn’t been headed to the concession<br />

stand, but to the parking lot to retrieve a heavy<br />

coat and blanket from her own car. It’s good to<br />

be prepared.<br />

Here’s to hoping the weather holds <strong>for</strong> a<br />

couple more weeks.<br />

RYLAN HOWE | STAFF WRITER<br />

Former naturalist introduces exhibit at Nature Center<br />

Barbara Tagami was a naturalist<br />

in Dickinson County <strong>for</strong> many<br />

years. This fall she’s back at the<br />

nature center with several works of<br />

art on <strong>dis</strong>play at in the eARTh exhibit<br />

area at the Dickinson County Nature<br />

Center.<br />

The exhibit will be up through the<br />

end of December and features a variety<br />

of photos, prints, origami and<br />

more.<br />

“I call myself an eclectic nature artist,”<br />

Tagami said. “I was a naturalist<br />

<strong>for</strong> this county <strong>for</strong> 16 years. Nature<br />

has always been part of my life and<br />

I feel that nature is something that<br />

touches everyone, so what I do is take<br />

things that I find in nature and create<br />

with them.”<br />

Rocks collected can be crushed and<br />

ground down to produce pigment,<br />

which Tagami uses with the addition<br />

of a polymer gel to create vivid colors.<br />

Prints are done on hand-made paper.<br />

Origami resembles fish, turtles and<br />

other animals.<br />

A common theme throughout the<br />

exhibit is fish. Tagami characterizes<br />

herself as an avid fisherwoman and<br />

that influence is clearly scene in the<br />

work on <strong>dis</strong>play.<br />

“This is what I do to collect myself<br />

and get back in touch with the real<br />

world. The real world being the natural<br />

world,” Tagami said. “All too often<br />

we get caught up being anxious about<br />

Art<br />

different things in our life and when<br />

you go fishing or do something in nature,<br />

even if it’s something like taking<br />

a hike and sitting, taking the beauty of<br />

nature, that’s inspiring. So that’s what<br />

I do and it’s so much fun.”<br />

Tagami’s love of fishing prompted<br />

her to do fish printing. Gyotaku is a<br />

traditional Japanese method of printing<br />

fish dating back to the 1800s. It is<br />

from<br />

nature<br />

thought to have been a way <strong>for</strong> fishermen<br />

to record their catches, as well as<br />

a scientific method of identifying fish<br />

species.<br />

It also evolved into an art <strong>for</strong>m in<br />

and of itself, which Tagami really enjoys.<br />

Origami is an art <strong>for</strong>m of folding<br />

paper into various <strong>for</strong>ms. It is something<br />

Tagami’s mom taught her and<br />

something she enjoys teaching to<br />

children now.<br />

“It’s a great way to get kids into<br />

doing art as well as improving their<br />

dexterity and eye-hand coordinaton,”<br />

Tagami said.<br />

In fact, Tagami will be teaching two<br />

classes, one on origami <strong>for</strong> children<br />

and one on fish printing <strong>for</strong> adults,<br />

in conjunction with the exhibit at the<br />

nature center.<br />

As <strong>for</strong> her own exhibit, Tagami<br />

hopes it brings a smile to anyone who<br />

stops to check it out and as well as an<br />

appreciation of how, in so many ways,<br />

nature inspires art in all of us. F<br />

Sioux Center to host Women’s Expo Oct. 21-22<br />

Sioux Center is setting aside one<br />

weekend in October and devoting<br />

it all to women.<br />

For the seventh year, the Sioux<br />

Center Chamber of Commerce will<br />

be hosting its Women’s Expo on Oct.<br />

21-22.<br />

“It is a great two days of shopping,<br />

fun and entertainment that we have<br />

designed just <strong>for</strong> women of all ages,”<br />

said Heather Rozeboom, the event<br />

coordinator with the Sioux Center<br />

Chamber of Commerce.<br />

The event will feature 40 vendors,<br />

the most that can fit in the space, and<br />

there is a wide range of options.<br />

“We have everything including quite<br />

a few boutiques this year, which is a<br />

great trend. There will be lots of clothing,<br />

shoes and accessories with those,”<br />

Rozeboom said. “We’ll also have vendors<br />

selling makeup, doing hair and<br />

some health booths. We have some<br />

interior decorating places, a booth<br />

that is all purses so that’s fun and<br />

some booths with items <strong>for</strong> babies.”<br />

The event kicks off on Friday night,<br />

Oct. 21, with the premiere of all the<br />

all about<br />

Women<br />

vendors and plenty of time <strong>for</strong> some<br />

shopping.<br />

“Then after that we are inviting<br />

everyone to The Ridge <strong>for</strong> a wine<br />

tasting and a live band. The first two<br />

hundred women will receive a free<br />

wine glass and there will be wine<br />

vendors who are coming,” Rozeboom<br />

said. “The women will be able to taste<br />

and purchase wine to drink there or<br />

take home. The band is from Dordt<br />

and they will be providing live music<br />

<strong>for</strong> us. We’re advertising it as a girl’s<br />

night out.”<br />

Then Saturday the event runs from<br />

9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The vendors will be<br />

there, of course, so there’ll still be<br />

plenty of opportunity to get in some<br />

shopping, but there are going to be<br />

some other special events as well.<br />

At 10 a.m. B. Fierce Boutique, Maurices<br />

and Simply Jade Boutique will be<br />

hosting a fall fashion show.<br />

“It’s so neat to see all the different<br />

styles of clothing <strong>for</strong> all different ages<br />

and shapes. I know they are really excited<br />

<strong>for</strong> the show as well,” Rozeboom<br />

said.<br />

Later that morning at 11 a.m., on<br />

their main stage, there will be a cooking<br />

demonstration with Chef Paul<br />

from Hy-Vee in Sioux Center.<br />

“This is a brand new thing we are<br />

doing this year and we are really excited<br />

<strong>for</strong> this Cooking with Chef Paul<br />

show,” Rozeboom said.<br />

Breakfast and lunch will be available<br />

<strong>for</strong> purchase and is being provided<br />

by the Family Crisis Center as<br />

a fundraiser. Then at 12:30 p.m. the<br />

keynote speaker will take the stage.<br />

Jennifer Dukes Lee is this year’s keynote<br />

speaker.<br />

“She’s a local gal who lived in Inwood.<br />

She’s a Christian author who<br />

has had a couple of widely known<br />

books come out. She is a really inspirational<br />

Christian author,” Rozeboom<br />

said. “I am hoping this will be really<br />

inspirational and I’m really excited to<br />

have her come and speak.”<br />

Throughout both Friday and Saturday,<br />

they will be giving away door<br />

prizes and some grand prizes.<br />

“This is my favorite event that we<br />

do as a Chamber every year. You see<br />

some of the same people come back<br />

with their moms and their grandmas<br />

every year and then you get to meet<br />

new people, too,” Rozeboom said. F<br />

How ’bout them<br />

There’s nothing that says fall quite<br />

like apples picked right off the<br />

tree.<br />

Fall is a time <strong>for</strong> apples in school<br />

lunch boxes, baked into pies and<br />

cakes and enjoyed as an ingredient in<br />

warm, cozy dinners.<br />

That nip in the air means it’s apple<br />

time.<br />

And at Ocheda Orchard many of<br />

the apples are ripe and there’s still<br />

some waiting to be picked.<br />

“It’s been a good season. We have<br />

a big crop and the quality of the crop<br />

is really good,” orchard owner Chuck<br />

Nystrom said. “Traffic has been a tad<br />

bit slower but it seems to be picking<br />

up now.”<br />

Ocheda Orchard, sitting just a<br />

stone’s throw from Worthington, MN,<br />

has grown to a 33-acre farm with at<br />

least 5,000 apple trees — more likely<br />

there are closer to 7,000, but they<br />

haven’t counted in a couple of years.<br />

And while they have thousands of<br />

varieties of apples growing in the orchard,<br />

they have 15 varieties that they<br />

sell commercially to the public.<br />

When people come to Ocheda<br />

Orchard they can stop in their shop<br />

and purchase apples that have already<br />

been picked by the orchard’s employees<br />

or people can pick their very own<br />

apples.<br />

Right now, the major variety that is<br />

ripe and ready <strong>for</strong> eating is the Honeycrisp.<br />

“The big one that everyone is coming<br />

in <strong>for</strong> now is HoneyCrisp, and<br />

we’ve got a really good crop of them<br />

this year,” Nystrom said.<br />

“The B-51 is the other really hot<br />

commodity. It’s kind of an unknown<br />

<strong>for</strong> a lot of people but every year more<br />

apples ?<br />

Ocheda Orchard has apples galore, pumpkins and more<br />

people learn about it.”<br />

Another apple that is causing a lot<br />

of buzz along with the Honeycrisps is<br />

the orchard’s very own experimental<br />

apple.<br />

The B-51 is ready <strong>for</strong> picking. And,<br />

my, is it yummy.<br />

The patented B-51 came from the<br />

seedling of a Honeycrisp, but the<br />

other parent is a mystery as it was<br />

open pollinated.<br />

The rights to commercially produce<br />

this hot apple was purchased by<br />

Chelan Fresh and will be marketed<br />

to grocers within the next few years as<br />

the SugarBee.<br />

Others varieties that might also<br />

tickle your taste buds and are ready <strong>for</strong><br />

eating are Haralson, Zestar, Cortland,<br />

SweeTango, Chestnut, Monark, Early<br />

McIntosh, Williams Pride, and Oriole,<br />

Regents and Snowsweet.<br />

In addition to being able to pick<br />

apples, people can also pick a number<br />

of other fun fall vegetables while they<br />

are at Ocheda Orchard.<br />

“We have pick your own pumpkins<br />

and pick your own squash, and we<br />

also have decorative gourds,” Nystrom<br />

said. In addition to picking your<br />

own, soon they’ll have some squash<br />

and gourds picked and available right<br />

in the store.<br />

In the store, in addition to the<br />

apples, they also sell frozen pies, local<br />

honey, jams, jellies and caramel.<br />

“We get all kind of people who<br />

come out. Lots of families with grandma<br />

and grandpa and the grandkids<br />

come to pick and get that experience,”<br />

Nystrom said.<br />

It doesn’t matter if you like sweet or<br />

tart, Ocheda Orchard has an apple <strong>for</strong><br />

every taste. F<br />

Jeremy Johnston brings unique<br />

solo recital to Okoboji<br />

Marimbas, maracas, cymbals,<br />

snare drum and a little<br />

eletronic aid from Vicki.<br />

It’s all part of a unique solo recital<br />

coming to the Pearson Lakes Art Center<br />

in Okoboji.<br />

Jeremy Johnston will be taking the<br />

stage in the Lauridsen Per<strong>for</strong>ming Arts<br />

Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 7:30<br />

p.m. to present a per<strong>for</strong>mance titled<br />

“Snapshots of Modern Percussion.”<br />

Johnston is professional percussion<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mer and instructor at<br />

Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.<br />

He will be at the helm of the many<br />

instruments. Vicki is part of Apple’s<br />

computer speech preferences and will<br />

narrate a snare drum solo.<br />

“Jeremy will be doing a solo percussion<br />

recital exploring current trends in<br />

arts director Amanda Schindler said.<br />

“It will be different. We haven’t had<br />

anything like this recently and it exemplifies<br />

our mission of broadening<br />

horizons through the arts.”<br />

Johnston has been per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

percussion recitals <strong>for</strong> about 10 years<br />

starting in college as part of his work towards<br />

a percussion per<strong>for</strong>mance major<br />

that has since led to a master’s degree as<br />

well as doctoral work in the field.<br />

He still remembers the day he fell in<br />

love with percussion.<br />

“For some reason I went along with<br />

my older brother when he was picking<br />

out an instrument to play in the school<br />

band,” Johnston said. “I saw someone<br />

demonstrating percussion instruments<br />

and just sat in awe. I knew that’s what<br />

I wanted to play. Music was where my<br />

passion was going into college and I<br />

figured I’d come out a rock star.”<br />

Part of the playlist <strong>for</strong> this show includes<br />

three pieces that highlight the<br />

“modern” in modern percussion.<br />

“Three of the pieces will have some<br />

<strong>for</strong>m of electronic play-along track,”<br />

Johnston said. “The cymbal piece will<br />

feature speaker feedback and will be<br />

just the second per<strong>for</strong>mance ever <strong>for</strong><br />

the particular piece.”<br />

While the per<strong>for</strong>mance will draw<br />

a lot of ideas from current trends in<br />

percussion music, an instrument that<br />

traces its roots hundreds of years will<br />

also be at the center of attention.<br />

“I love playing the marimba. It has<br />

such a big, rich sound to it and over<br />

the past 20 years there has been a lot<br />

of great writing and good music <strong>for</strong><br />

it,” Johnston said.<br />

The marimba and many other instruments<br />

will be brought to life in by<br />

Jeremy Johnston. Enjoy them all and<br />

their innate, captivating sound during<br />

“Snapshots of Modern Percussion” at<br />

the Pearson Lakes Art Center. F<br />

Stephen Baker and Lois Morris on the<br />

director at Arts on Grand. “They<br />

will play an assortment of tunes, including<br />

brass quartets, brass quintets,<br />

a trombone duet and two solos by Mr.<br />

Rutt.”<br />

Music in the Gallery has been going<br />

on <strong>for</strong> a few years now and is scheduled<br />

about once a month depending<br />

on the time of the year and the gallery’s<br />

schedule.<br />

“Music in the Gallery is our way<br />

of providing af<strong>for</strong>dable live music to<br />

the town of Spencer and surrounding<br />

areas, as well as a per<strong>for</strong>mance venue<br />

<strong>for</strong> local musicians and groups. Each<br />

of our per<strong>for</strong>mances are free-will<br />

donation, with the proceeds being<br />

split between the musician and Arts<br />

on Grand,” said White. “Guests can<br />

expect refreshments at each per<strong>for</strong>mance,<br />

but we also welcome outside<br />

food and drinks as well. This is a<br />

great opportunity to gather a group<br />

of friends and family, share a bottle of<br />

wine and enjoy some great music!”<br />

In the past they have had a number<br />

of local bands come and per<strong>for</strong>m at<br />

Music in the Gallery. They’ve had local<br />

band Coelmhor as well as a duet by<br />

Isaac Brockshus and Elizabeth Gergel.<br />

The Music in the Gallery event always<br />

draws a crowd.<br />

“We’ve had anywhere from 25 to<br />

60-plus guests attend this event. On<br />

average, we usually see about 30 to 40<br />

some individuals come to Music in<br />

the Gallery,” said White.<br />

White is very excited to hear how<br />

this new group sounds in the gallery.<br />

“We have a great space <strong>for</strong> all types<br />

of music and instruments. We’re<br />

excited to see how the brass sound<br />

will fill the space in our gallery,” said<br />

White. F<br />
