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 />
