The 2017 tournament is set for August 7-13 and online registration is now open for those who want to participate. The entry fee is $180 after July 16 and divisions include Championship (ages 16 and up), Mid-AM (ages 40 and up), Senior (ages 55 and up) and Super Senior (ages 65 and up).

THE TURTLES OF

TAMARAC

TAKE A LOOK AT THE TURTLES LIVING AT TAMARAC WILDLIFE REFUGE

C

hances are good that, if you’ve driven any road around Detroit Lakes in June, you have come across a turtle trying to cross at some point. It has been no different at Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge this year.

While you can find painted turtles 16 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY/AUGUST 2017

and snapping turtles at Tamarac, the painted variety are the most common.

When not foraging for food in the water or along the shore, they can often be found basking in the sun on a rock or log, sometimes sitting on top of several other turtles and vying for that primo sunny spot. You see, turtles can’t create

heat to regulate their own body temperature, so they use the heat of the sun to do this. This heat helps them break down food more easily and become more active in general.

Temperature can also affect turtle eggs.

Female turtles will be ready to lay DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

eggs by late May or June and will look for a nest site within 200 meters of water with soft, sandy soil and lots of sun exposure. She digs a shallow hole with her hind feet, where she then lays 4-15 eggs.

She then covers the hole and leaves the nest. Assuming the eggs escape detection from any number of hungry predators (raccoons, squirrels, foxes, skunks, etc.) and are not in the path of a construction project, baby turtles will hatch in mid-to late August. However, most of these little ones stay underground and hibernate before they dig their way out of the nest and are on their own.

Here’s another funky painted turtle fact you can use to charm and amaze your friends: they have temperature-dependent sex determination, so whether or not the wee little turtles turn out to be male or female depends on how nice of a summer we are having. Warmer temps--usually above 84 degrees fahrenheit--result in female turtles, while cooler 18 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY/AUGUST 2017

PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY TAMARAC WILDLIFE REFUGE

temperatures result in males. Think “cool dudes” and “hot chicks.”

Researchers have been working at Tamarac to see if shifting climates and increasing temperatures may be affecting the reproductive success of turtles. As

temperatures increase it is possible that only females will be produced.

So, when you visit the refuge, remember to slow down for wildlife. Many of our turtle friends like to take their time while crossing the road.

FIND STRENGTH,

SERENITY THIS SUMMER

LOCAL YOGA STUDIOS OFFER WIDE RANGE OF CLASSES Meagan Pittelko

W

ith the steady rush of summer festivities upon us, it’s easy to see why so many Detroit Lakes residents are turning to the deep breaths and slow stretches of yoga to calm their minds, bodies and souls.

In addition to its calming effects, yoga can also be used to supplement an existing workout regime, to assist an individual in kick-starting his or her fitness journey or to enhance flexibility.

Whether you’re looking to change up your workout routine or if you’re simply looking for a peaceful oasis in the crazy days of summer, try heading out to one of DL’s local yoga studios this month.

LAKES PACE, LLC Jess Stuewe, a local sixth-grade DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

teacher, mom and owner of Lakes Pace, LLC, speaks softly but clearly and-at the end of each class--drifts around the room and covers each member of the class in a blanket.

Watching Stuewe gently reposition people as they pose and listening to her discuss the importance of exhaling negative energy, you would never guess that she started doing yoga for purely physical reasons.

“I’ve always been active but, when I first started seriously getting into yoga, I was running marathons,” she said. “I credit my yoga practice to why I stayed healthy and practically injury free through 13 marathons because it kept me strong.”

Clearly, it wasn’t just the physical as-

pect that kept Stuewe coming back to yoga, though.

“I ended up pursuing a yoga certification and, the more I pursued teacher training, the more I found yoga touching other parts of my life, too,” she said.

“No matter how I feel going into a class, I always feel so good when the class is over. Whether I’m teaching it or taking it, there’s something about being surrounded with people that are bringing positive energy to the class and to the room. That positive energy lingers and stays with you.”

Stuewe, who finished her 500-hour yoga certification in December 2016, is offering a number of unique yoga classes in the area this summer--including a Tuesday morning class in the barn at Five SUMMER SCENE | JUNE/JULY 2017 | 25

Lakes Resort in Frazee, Minnesota and a stand-up paddle board class that takes place--you guessed it--on the lake. All of the classes are open to any skill level.

“I’ve had people come out on Saturday mornings that have never paddle boarded or never done yoga or both,” she said. “I have beginners drop in all the time, but I also have other yoga instructors come to my classes and I have a handful of class members who have been with me since I started Lakes Pace in 2012, so there’s a wide variety of abilities in the class. That’s just part of teaching--particularly on the paddle boards--that is unique.”

While most people are familiar with the physical benefits of yoga, Stuewe said that there are many misconceptions about other aspects of the practice.

“Yoga is not a religion and there’s no dogma attached to yoga,” she explained.

“However, yoga can be a path to learning about yourself and that could be a very faith-filled experience for some people--but it isn’t for everyone. You just have to come with an open mind and try not to limit yourself by judgement of your own self.”

Overall, Stuewe encourages anyone who is interested in yoga to try a variety of classes with different instructors to get a feel for the style and teacher that best fits their needs.

“Any yoga classes that I’ve gone to in the area are such warm, friendly and open practices,” she said. “Once we let ourselves be okay with trying something new and letting go of being so worried about what people think, yoga quickly becomes so much more accessible. It’s one of those lifelong studies where the more you know, the less you know, so it’s quite the life adventure.”

SHOREWOOD YOGA The newest studio in town, Shorewood Yoga, is the stuff of yogi dreams: it’s bright, airy and--thanks to two walls of windows--filled with natural light and noises. Fresh air wafts off of the lake, birds chirp from tree branches just outside the studio--a garage loft--and sisters Kilee Kadrie Weiler and Kristal Kadrie sit in the center of the room on yoga mats, legs crossed.

“We feel so much gratitude for the 26 | SUMMER SCENE | JUNE/JULY 2017

space and that the community is so open-minded,” Kilee said. “Plus, we’re close to the lake, we have a rooftop space that we can practice on when weather allows and we get to be closer to nature, which is just really lovely.”

Shorewood Yoga held its first class on May 8 and will hold classes year-round, in addition to offering ayurveda consultations. Kristal is certified in ayurvedic medicine, one of the world’s oldest holistic sets of practices, and both Kristal and Kilee finished their yoga certifications in 2013--about five years after Kristal brought her sister to her first yoga class-at a studio in Willmar, Minnesota.

Although both sisters have other jobs at this point, they can’t seem to imagine life without yoga.

“It brings so much into your life and it cultivates a lot of gratitude, positivity and self-awareness,” Kilee said. “How can you not fall in love with that?”

Both Kristal and Kilee have worked with and attended classes at yoga studios in Detroit Lakes as well as in Fargo, and the women said that they simply wanted to add an in-home yoga studio to the community.

“There’s a lot of yoga out there,” Kilee explained, “but the world needs a lot of it.

It’s about reconnecting with yourself and with nature. In this busy world, we need reminders to slow down.”

Kristal added that Shorewood Yoga aims to be inclusive and to hold classes that fit all levels and types of people.

“There are some classes that are a little bit more specific, obviously, like

Mommy and Baby Yoga or Prenatal/ Postnatal Yoga,” she said. “All of the other classes, though, are modified and inclusive, so we invite everybody to come.

YogaFlow and Modified Ashtanga are great all-levels classes.”

Kilee added that, while classes like Mommy and Baby are more specified, people are welcome to come if it’s the only class that works with their schedule. However, the invitation comes with a warning: “Be prepared to sing ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ to the loving energy of the babies around you. Just know that you’ll get your baby fix,” she said.

In addition to the aforementioned classes, Shorewood Yoga also offers Toddler and Me Yoga, Gentle and Full Primary Ashtanga. The variety of classes cater to everyone from six-week-old infants in the Mommy and Baby classes to 80-year-olds in the Gentle classes, allowing everyone an opportunity to find time to practice yoga in a space that fits their lives and needs.

“We deserve more time for ourselves, for our breath and for being present,” Kilee said. “We’re not told that very much. We’re always thinking about the future, about what’s next.”

Kristal agreed, adding that yoga also helps her let go of stress and anger.

“Yoga is just something I have to do,” she said. “It centers me. It’s a lot more than just poses--you take yoga off of your mat and into your daily life. It’s taught me so much about loving myself, loving others and connecting with my body, mind and spirit.”

180 BALANCE The only thought that Misty Lamppa had after her first hot yoga class was, “That really kicked my butt… But how did yoga kick my butt?”

Lamppa, who owns 180 Balance in Detroit Lakes, said that she has been involved in the fitness industry for years but never realized how intense yoga was before taking a class--something that she thinks many other people forget, too.

“People just have no idea what they’re missing,” she said. “Physically, I love yoga, but it’s so much more than that.”

For Lamppa, the physical challenge of yoga is what drew her in; however, years later, she now appreciates the mental benefits of yoga.

“Doing yoga was the first time that I had to sit with my mind for that long and kind of wrestle with my mind,” she said.

“It’s easy to distract yourself with a lot of other things and the first time I was wrestling with my mind and going, ‘Shut up,’ I realized it was something I needed to work on.”

When Lamppa opened 180 Balance about two and a half years ago, though, DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

she knew that she needed to offer those physically challenging classes, adding that it’s okay to start practicing yoga with just the physical benefits in mind.

“For me, I never would have taken or been hooked on yoga if it didn’t kick my butt,” she said. “I know there are a lot of people that are like me, where they need to see the physical benefits before they’re able to get into the mental and emotional benefits, so it’s always important to have those options.”

For that reason, Lamppa and her team of yoga teachers offer everything from hot yoga classes to Yoga Sculpt.

“It’s important to have all sorts of different options and different kinds of classes, so people aren’t coming for just one style,” she said. “I want everyone to experience yoga at some point in their lives, because I really do think it’s a superior form of exercise.”

The studio also offers Gentle Yoga, Ashtanga, Barre Fusion and a variety of flow classes, with class times ranging from 5:30 a.m. to lunchtime to 6:30 p.m.

Overall, Lamppa said that people should keep an open mind when approaching a new fitness routine or class.

“Listen to your body--that’s the biggest

thing that people forget to do,” she said.

“People either don’t want to push themselves hard enough or they push themselves too hard when they shouldn’t. You need to tune in and find out what your body needs you to do.”

For those looking for a membership option or simply looking to drop in on a class every now and then, Lamppa said that she tries to make her classes as accessible as possible for the community.

“We get to know everybody who comes through the door and you really feel like you’re being taken care of,” she said. “It’s a community here--where people notice if you’re not here for class-and you’ll probably find that with all of the yoga teachers in town, because we have such a cool community of yoga for such a small town. We’re so lucky.”

For more information, please visit https://www.180balance.com.

With a wide range of instructors, styles and class times available, the Detroit Lakes area has a studio to fit all of your yoga needs--and it doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned yogi or if you’ve never set foot on a yoga mat.

So, fill up your water bottle, take a deep breath and get ready to work those physical--and mental--muscles.

hile a small town may not always boast the most exciting calendar of events--especially in the dead of winter--the summer months make up for the chillier ones with festivals and celebrations aplenty. Hit the road this summer and explore the various fests that surrounding towns have to offer.

TURKEY DAYS (FRAZEE, MN) JULY 28-30 For three days in July, the home of the “World’s Largest Turkey” truly embraces its name. The 63rd annual Turkey Days celebration is set for July 28-30 and will bring well-loved events from years passed back into town.

Friday kicks off with pontoon rides, a sand castle contest, a street dance, Family Night and more--and the rest of the weekend is host to an equally exciting schedule of events. Saturday features a selfie photo booth, a kids’ fishing contest, an all-day street fair, a car show and a cake walk, while Sunday brings about a tractor show,

CRAZY DAZE (DETROIT LAKES, MN) AUGUST 8 Crazy Daze returns to Detroit Lakes this August, making discount dreams come true for shoppers in the area.

The one-day event shuts down a portion of downtown DL, as retailers fill the streets with racks of clothing, shoes and accessories.

In the past, retailers have also brought out items specific to the Crazy Daze event that shoppers would be unable to find on any other day of the year.

In addition to shopping,

food vendors will line the streets, providing the perfect opportunity to snack on mini donuts or fresh-popped kettle corn while taking in the products set out by small and large businesses alike.

With discounts reaching 90 percent off, shopaholics--and even curious browsers--would be remiss to miss out on this year’s Crazy Daze.

For more information, please contact the Detroit Lakes Chamber of Commerce at 218-847-9202.

LOONEY DAZE (VERGAS, MN) AUGUST 10-13 From food vendors to bed racing, the Vergas Looney Daze celebration has it all. As in past years, the four-day event will feature a parade, craft vendors, a 5K and a bean bag tournament. Spend the rest of July brushing up on your loon call because, if booths of unique goodies and activities aren’t your forte, you can always stop by to take a selfie with the giant loon statue that adorns the streets of Vergas.

Vendor and craft applications are still open, and those interested in participating in a vendor capacity or as a volunteer are encouraged to contact the 2017 Looney Daze chairperson, Renee Sonnenberg.

For more information, call 218-841-0712 or email reneejsonnenberg@hotmail. com.

HARVEST FEST (WOLF LAKE, MN) AUGUST 18-19 For another annual, small-town celebration this summer, hop in the car for about half an hour and head to Wolf Lake, Minnesota.

Events range from cowpie bingo and eating contests to a beauty pageant and mud run--providing excitement for all ages--and the two-day celebration is also host to food vendors.

In past years, other events have included bed races, a parade, horseshoe and volleyball tournaments, face painting, mud wrestling, baseball tournaments and more, so keep your eyes peeled for additional inforDETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

DAIRY QUEEN GRILL & CHILL Fan Food not Fast Food For more than 75 years, Dairy Queen has been a fixture in America. Although much has changed in the world and in the DQ® system through the years, one constant has remained: DQ® restaurants are still, and always have been, the place to find kids’ sports teams celebrating a victory, business people on their lunch break and families taking time out to enjoy great food and soft serve treats.

And success for the DQ® system is as simple today as it was in 1940. Satisfied customers lead to successful restaurants.

Now located in the new McKinnley Plaza!
