Zing!

ulie Flannery-Allen and Sarah Lavin are designers who love working with people to turn design dreams into reality. They came up with an idea to expand their work from one-on-one projects with clients, to hosting occasional “pop-up shop” sales in the Tri-State Creamery Building downtown under the business name “Zing.” Those special events were so popular they began adding additional sale days, especially leading up

to the holidays. When Julie’s brother, Michael Flannery, came back from New York and saw the partners’ concept, he encouraged them to take the next step and look for a permanent store front. In fact, he was so confident in the business concept, he joined them as a partner. The team went looking for just the right spot, and found it in the former Firestone building on Minnesota Avenue. This visionary

Hours: Monday-Saturday from 10am-6pm Sunday 11am-3pm Zing 301 S. Minnesota Avenue (605) 271-2720 www.zingideafactory.com info@zingideafactory.com Find us on Facebook! group transformed the space from automotive repair to creative wonderland and opened in November 2012. They describe the store as “part modern home furnishings, part whimsical gifts, part creative workshops and 100 percent design-inspired.” The name itself is certainly an indication that this is not your ordinary home décor store.

“Zing is the feeling you get when you are doing what you love or seeing something or someone you love,” says Lavin. “We are absolutely doing what we love here, and we want to help our customers find that little ‘zing’ to create a unique space at home or to share with someone else as a gift.” In addition to working at the store, the two designers still offer individual services from interior design and color consultation

to furniture selection and lighting advice. They work with a wide array of companies in order to bring one-of-a-kind items to their design clients and to the Zing store. If you are looking for furniture for example, you can choose from traditional or modern, rustic or retro…items like turquoise desk chairs, a white rectangular ottoman or a floral covered chair with clear acrylic legs. Looking to fill empty space on the walls? Perhaps you’d like huge watercolors featuring farm animals, a decorative shelf shaped like the United States or an old door upcycled with working clock elements. Planning a party? Zing has everything you need like vases for your centerpiece, party napkins, colorful paper straws, glasses, fun-shaped food picks, a fish-shaped corkscrew and even aprons! To spruce up your kitchen and dining room, you can pick new linens, retro-look kitchen timers or salt and pepper shakers, a pad of paper placemats, pastel-colored canisters that look like old milk glass or nostalgic Edison-style light bulbs. As you wander through the store, one minute you will see things that could have come from your grandma’s house, and then the next minute you’ll feel more like you’re shopping in a fun house. You can go from browsing through the selection of lovely notepapers and cards to the more “grown-up” gift cards (you will have to go to Zing! to read these for yourselves!). But, Zing does carry something for everyone. They also have a great section of books, games and project kits to encourage kids to engage in creative play.

To help bring out the creative spirit in anyone, Zing hosts a variety of “Sip & Create” Workshops that walk you through creating a Quote Canvas or a Trio of Whimsy, which uses materials like paper, yarn or buttons to create that perfect pop of whimsy for your home or to share with a friend. These workshops include all of the materials, instruction, plenty of fun socializing, and a glass of wine or non-alcoholic beverage. The workshop space also includes a working kitchen area for their cooking demonstrations. “These are really more just like fun dinner parties!” says Flannery-Allen. All of the events are listed on the Zing website and are promoted through Facebook. There are new things arriving at Zing all the time, says FlanneryAllen, and that is because they always want customers to find that “just right” item. “In design, the customer’s personality is so important,” she explains. “When you are decorating your home, you are really creating your own brand, just like a business would. And, that brand is important to people. We love being part of that creative process that helps someone infuse their personality into their home.” Did I mention the store carries pillows, wood blocks with great quotes, seasonal décor, rings, necklaces, bangles, fashion tattoos, lamps, light fixtures, rugs, fun office supplies, gift books and funky office supplies? One piece of advice for shopping at Zing: go when you have plenty of time to look around!

Ride Empowered By Mary Michaels | Photos by Chang Photography

ide Empowered began as a personal challenge for owner Doris Schumacher. While completing her bachelor’s degree, raising three children, and working as an accounting professional, she decided to take up motorcycling for what she calls some “R&R.” It was a hobby she could also share with her husband, Adam. Previously, Doris had always just been a passenger. “I wanted to ride with him rather than behind him,” she says. Each summer, she rode on her own more and more, and her passion for motorcycling grew. Schumacher found herself gaining confidence and letting go of the day to day stresses and fears that were controlling many aspects of her life. With this came a strong desire to start her own business. “I knew I wanted to do something fun, creative, and unique,” Schumacher explains. “I explored several types of businesses and franchises, then it hit me while I was shopping for a leather jacket. There are few options for women motorcyclists shopping for riding gear.” She began seeking out people, places and organizations like the local Small Business Development Center, to help her learn about starting her own business. After six months of research, planning, and pitching her ideas to creditors, Schumacher

received the financing approval and was on her way. She calls the store’s décor “rustic but edgy.” Painting the shop and glittering the floors was a family affair, which included faux finishing each red wall with metallic glazes. Aaric Geihl from Rubbish Reborne was called in to design and construct the furnishings. “Aaric’s creativity and construction skills really brought a truly unique appeal to the store,” says Schumacher. “He was able to construct everything we needed using mostly recycled materials like wooden cable spools, shipping pallets, the wood off an old truck bed and other miscellaneous spare parts. My ideas and Aaric’s ideas really came together in a great way. The store feels like a second home to me.” In an attempt to provide as much variety as possible for women riders, Schumacher began seeking out top name brands as well as smaller brands. Her goal is to have something for all riders, regardless of what they ride. And yes, she adds, she even has “something for the guys.” “Although the store is focused on women’s wants and wishes, I also have access to several lines of men’s riding gear and apparel as well; however, it’s impossible for me to keep everything in stock. Because of this, I always welcome my guests to review my

“Whatever you ride, ride empowered.”

catalogs so I can order the items they’d like.” One challenge Schumacher discovered is sizing. As many women riders are aware, several of the top brands are sized for “younger” figures, despite the fact that the majority of women riders are mothers and grandmothers. That fact doesn’t stop Schumacher. She continually seeks out new lines and new brands so that she has a good mix of options in fit, style and price. She recently added in several new apparel items designed for full figures. Included in her current inventory for riding gear are leather and textile riding jackets, chaps, riding boots, helmets, gloves and protective eyewear. The store also carries a few styles of Kevlar-lined denim for riders not into chaps. Schumacher is also introducing a new line of resin-coated canvas jackets and chaps from the Icon 1000 line. She also carries Gatorskins, which are American-made, lightweight thermals used by the Navy Seals and Coast Guard because they are warmer than wool, windproof and water-resistant. Apparel options include t-shirts and hoodies, as well as head wraps from Design Wraps, Open Road Biker Gear, and Zan Headgear. Fun is an important element too, says Schumacher, so the

store also has riding purses, belt bags, jewelry, belts, and cute onesies and tee-shirts for little ones. You can choose from matching motorcycle earrings and necklaces from Steel Cowgirl Apparel, a winged angel zipper pull by Hot Leathers or handmade jewelry from local artists like Rubbish Reborn and Do-OverS! Eclectic Jewelry & Crafts by Shelleen. Schumacher also carries a line of skin care products specifically created for women frequently exposed to the sun and outside elements. Opening Ride Empowered has already been a great adventure for Schumacher, and she is enjoying being able to tell the story behind the store’s name. “Empowerment is a process of gaining the ability to make a change,” she says. “That might be through education, freeing yourself of fears, standing up for yourself, or succeeding at a goal or challenge. One of the main things I advocate for is a better image of motorcyclists. I advocate for women, for education and safety, and for support of all riders and enthusiasts.” Schumacher’s advice to everyone is simple: “Whatever you ride, ride empowered.”

Celebrate June Dairy Month Enjoy a Free Lunch, Dairy Farm Tours, Concert and Kids Activities on June 9

or more than 75 years, Americans have been celebrating June Dairy Month. First created in 1937 as a way to help distribute extra milk when cows started on pasture in summer months, June Dairy Month’s rich history continues today with communities, companies and people from all over the country recognizing it in a number of ways. There have been many changes in the dairy industry in those seven decades, and the founders of June Dairy Month likely could never have imagined the variety of cheese, yogurts, and other dairy products available in today’s grocery store dairy cases. But one constant is the important role of dairy in healthy diets and lifestyles. Together, milk, cheese and yogurt deliver nine essential nutrients in a variety of tasty, affordable and convenient options. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends three daily servings of low-fat and fat-free milk and milk products for those ages nine and older. On average, Americans are currently consuming about two dairy servings a day. Adding one more serving of dairy can help fill some of America’s nutrient gap. Dairy foods make sense when it comes to managing a family’s budget. At about 25 cents a glass, milk is a nutritional bargain. Adding milk instead of water when preparing eggs, oatmeal, soups, side dishes and baked goods is a costeffective way to add a nutritional boost to dishes that families already enjoy. Dairy foods are also some of the most

fresh and locally-produced options in the supermarket. On average, it takes less than 48 hours for milk to travel from the farm to the grocery store. Dairy farm families across the country celebrate June Dairy Month with open houses, tours and special events. One South Dakota family has established its own June Dairy Month tradition with an annual Day on the Farm event. For the seventh year, the Ode family from Brandon, South Dakota, will open up their fourth generation dairy farm to the public, hosting hundreds of people for a farm tour, free meal, and children’s’ activities. “We’re excited to open our family’s farm to anyone interested in learning more about how the dairy products they enjoy get their start,” said Doug Ode. “We’re proud of our farm’s role in providing wholesome, nutritious dairy products that help fuel a healthy lifestyle.” The seventh annual open house at Royalwood Dairy will be held on Saturday, June 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The dairy is located at 48170 266th St., about five miles south of Brandon. Join the family for a free pancake feed and a farm tour to see how dairy farmers care for cows, protect the environment and produce a wholesome supply of milk for the dairy products we all enjoy. Children’s entertainer Phil Baker will perform at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and there will be kids make and take craft activities. The Ode family has been involved in

dairy farming in the Brandon area for four generations. They currently milk about 260 cows and raise calves at Royalwood Dairy, which they built several years ago. They also raise crops, including corn that is fed to the cows at the dairy. Visit the South Dakota Farm Families page on Facebook or www.agunited.org for more information and directions.

Both have their own entrances into the house, with benches and storage for things like coats, shoes, keys and kids’ school bags The interior style is contemporary and clean, featuring greys and browns, and a mix of light wood, dark wood and metal.

creates a spacious and open feel, the home is still very warm and inviting. One wall features a built-in fireplace with flat screen television above it, surrounded by thick floating shelves in a dark wood to hold family pictures and other decorative accessories. Two rows of four windows each bring in plenty of natural light into the room. Separating the living room from the kitchen is a large dining table perfect for gatherings with family and friends.

The kitchen has several unique features, such as the tile wall with floating shelves that complement the opposite wall in the living room. Two narrow, rectangular windows are placed higher on the wall to let the light in yet provide a little privacy on that side of the house. The curved island has an industrial feel with its silver metal finish that matches the metal hardware on the dark cabinets.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great space for cooking, with plenty of outlets along the back and several long, glass cylinder lights hanging above it. The black and silver stools lining the other side also make it a congregating spot when entertaining. Two of Jocelynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite features are the built-in coffee center and the walk-in pantry, which is creatively hidden by seemingly traditional cabinet doors.

The main floor also has the laundry room just off the kitchen, Jocelyn’s office and craft room, and the master suite. Both the office and the master bedroom have doors out to a deck. A curved hall from the office leads to the master bedroom which also has the neutral-yet-warm grey and brown color scheme. Large, three-dimensional flowers hang on the wall.

While there is not a full second story to the house, there is a loft that is home to the two youngest of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five children. Cassidy and Pierce, ages 10 and 8, have their own rooms and a shared space to unwind up in the loft. Their hang-out space is accented with a bright orange, aqua side chairs and a funky, retro-modern clock on the wall with

Behind the couch, the loft has arch-shaped openings looking down over the great room below. Glass panels provide protection while still allowing the kids to feel part of whatever might be going on in the rest of the house (and gives Kory and

Jocelyn the ability to keep an eye on the upstairs activities). Cassidy’s room is black and pink with plenty of bling, with a four-poster bed and a zebra-print chaise lounge. A crystal chandelier over the bed matches the crystal sconces on either

When the family wants to get moving, they can head the Sport Court located just off the family room. It includes real court flooring, a basketball hoop, rock climbing wall and a wall-towall zip line. The school-gym-blue mats against the wall under the hoop are detachable, so the kids can pull them down and use them on the floor as well.

After a workout in the sport court, the family can unwind in their theater room. You get the true movie experience here, with comfortable seating and a concessions counter along one wall, complete with a refrigerator for beverages, popcorn machine and a cabinet with a see-through front that holds the sweet treats. Jocelyn admits that even though the main construction was completed last fall, there are still projects that are in progress. “We know what we like, so we are just taking our time with it,” she says. “We’re making decisions with a purpose and we’ll wait on a project if needed until we know we can do it right. We love this house and plan to be here for a very long time.”

ate last summer, several friends were sitting on the patio of the now-shuttered Acoustic on Sixth Street downtown. Through the course of a couple of hours, several pitchers of sangria were shared along with a lot of laughs and old stories. As the afternoon progressed, we ordered a few appetizers, but the thing we all raved about was the sangria. And as good as the cocktails were, we began to covet the fruit that had been soaking in the wine. At the end of each glass, you were rewarded with a slice of orange or a strawberry that was made even sweeter by their marinade. It was like a cocktail and a hors d’oeuvre all in a quart-sized Mason jar. And just the other day I saw a Bloody Mary served with a

slice of bacon along with the usual pickles, olives and celery. I’ve also seen shrimp, beef jerky and all manner of fruits and veggies adorning cocktails. Clearly, we have blurred the line between the drink and the snack, and I like this trend. I think it started innocently enough. Tropical drinks started showing up with fruit salads under their tiny umbrellas. The olives in martinis went from being stuffed with the standard pimento to garlic, jalapeños and even almonds. Many years ago, when a good friend and I discovered blue cheese stuffed olives in the martinis at the bar in the lobby of the Knickerbocker Hotel in Chicago, we thought we had found heaven. Hours later, the bartender told us he was out of blue cheese and we were forced

to go back to the old green orbs. We were crushed. Now as bartenders explore bacon-infused bourbons and artisanal garnishes, we never know what we may find accompanying our drinks. At the Sirio Ristorante in Las Vegas’ Aria hotel you can order a vodka drink called Bring Home the Bacon. And it brings more than just bacon. The drink is made with beef bouillon and is garnished with three olives; one is deep-fried and bacon-wrapped, one of the others is stuffed with prosciutto and the last olive is filled with a mixture of cream cheese and bacon. Of course at $14, it’s more than many South Dakotans would expect to pay for dinner, not just a drink. But Vegas is all about excess, right? That’s why The Seablue Restaurant at the MGM Grand has a martini made with superpremium vodka and Beluga caviar, all yours for a mere $275. How much do you tip the server when the drink cost that much? I have turned that table and made a cocktail out of an appetizer. If you’re looking for something different, try soaking cherry tomatoes in vodka, Worchester sauce and Tabasco. After four or five days in the fridge, dust them with a little celery salt and you can eat your Bloody Mary. Or inject fresh strawberries

www.gsfw.com with a little rum and make strawberry daiquiri poppers. Nobody ever said alcohol needed to be served in a glass! The idea of food and drink combos isn’t new. Tapas in Spain was originally small treats that were used to cover your glass of wine to keep the fruit flies out. So an entire genre of food was created to solve a simple problem. In my humble opinion, that’s a much tastier solution than the covered beer steins in Bavaria. How far can this go? Well, a pub out in the mall, like many other bars around the country, may have taken it too far. It serves something called The Stadium. It starts with a Bloody Mary and then adds a hotdog slider, a hamburger slider and big soft pretzel with a little plastic cup of cheese. A slider is a great idea, but the pretzel and cheese really seem like overkill. Other establishments around the country have added all manner of food to their Bloody Marys, up to and including pizza. That is definitely too far. But this gets me thinking, if I were to garnish a Manhattan with a stick of chislic, you couldn’t really call it a Manhattan any more. Perhaps we’ll need to call that a Sioux Falls. Hmmm… off to the kitchen, I’ve got some cooking to do! Do yourself a favor, eat something good today. There are very few things Jim enjoys more than cooking, cocktails, and creating marketing magic at ADwërks, an ad agency in Uptown Sioux Falls.

You Say

Shiraz, I Say

Syrah

by Riccardo Tarabelsi

“No matter what you call it, Syrah/Shiraz is a great varietal for any occasion.”

have been asked this one question so many times that I thought it deserved an entire column dedicated to answering it. The question is, “What is the difference between Shiraz and Syrah?” The simple answer is, “Nothing.” Thanks for reading; see you next month… Seriously, Shiraz and Syrah are the same grape; they just differ in nomenclature. Shiraz has a long and rich history, working its way to be the 6th most popular grape variety in the world, and the most commonly grown red wine grape in Australia. In France, in 1968, there existed only 2,700 acres of Syrah vineyards, in the traditional appellations of northern Rhône. After the wines of northern Rhône were rediscovered by wine writers in the 1970s, plantings expanded considerably. This trend received an extra boost in the 1980s and 1990s, when influential wine writer Robert M. Parker, Jr. started to award very high scores, up to the “perfect” score of 100 points, to wines of some Rhône producers. The popularity of Australian Shiraz on the export market may also have played a role. In 1988, total French plantings stood at 27,000 acres, and the 1999 viticultural survey found 50,700 acres of Syrah vineyards. France thus has the world’s largest plantings of Syrah. The Shiraz grape was introduced into Australia in 1832 by James Busby, an immigrant who brought vine clippings from Europe with him, and it is almost invariably called Shiraz. Today it is Australia’s most popular red grape, but has not always been in such favor. Many factors, including the success of brands like Lindemans, Jacob’s Creek, and Rosemount, were responsible for a dramatic expansion of plantings during the 1980s and

1990s; a similar trajectory occurred in California; however, the biggest factor in this expansion during the 1990s was a federal government tax subsidy to those planting new vineyards. In the United States, wine produced from the grape is normally called by its French name, Syrah. However, in cases where winemakers choose to follow a New World style, similar to Penfolds Grange, they may choose to label their wines as Shiraz. Under American wine laws, either name may appear on the label. Syrah first appeared as a wine grape in California in the 1970s, where it was planted by a group of viticulturists who called themselves the “Rhône rangers.” Although most plantings of the grape are in California, there are increasing amounts of it being grown in Washington state. Shiraz is a very vigorous growing grape. It produces large bunches of anywhere up to 130 berries per bunch. They are long and loose bunches with very good disease resistance. Shiraz does very well in cool climates and thrives in warm spring weather to produce a strikingly peppery wine. Syrah goes very well with beef and other hearty foods. It also goes well with Indian, Mexican, and other spicy foods. This wine is rich and full, and should be served from a large glass at 64˚ F. No matter what you call it, Syrah/Shiraz is a great varietal for any occasion. Whether you need a light and fruity Shiraz from southeastern Australia for some patio wine, or an elegant Côtes du Rhône to go with a great rack of lamb, Syrah/Shiraz is a diverse and lovely wine.

“A

t 20/20 Eye Candy, we were thrilled with all the fun options. We had no less than 10 frames in front of us in a matter of minutes. Angie was so upbeat and full of suggestions, recommendations and ideas. It was fun! As her mother, I was excited at all the choices she had. She is at the in-between stage. Children’s frames were too small, so she would outgrow them right away. Until now, there were very few fun choices. The other places we had looked did not have many frames in the ‘petite women’s’ size (the size she fits now) that were of interest to Lauren. The atmosphere is so inviting and beautiful. Lauren had a smile on her face the whole way home both on the day we

picked them out and the day we picked them up. They treated us very well and the sale they were running gave us the opportunity to get Lauren two pairs so she has a pair that will work as sunglasses when she needs them. They even fixed her old glasses to get us by for one more week until her new ones arrived — at no charge. Those little things make a person feel really good and will keep us coming back. Anne was there on delivery day with a fun bag with a treat inside. She fit Lauren’s new glasses very quickly and we left with a very excited girl!” — Jennifer Vander Esch

“I will be a customer for life. The staff was awesome. They were very friendly and brought out tons of cute choices for me. I was sad that I only got two pairs!” — Lauren Vander Esch

he gorgeous scenery of Kentucky is home to an array things to see and do, including horse farms, distilleries, and more. Known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horse Capital of the Worldâ&#x20AC;?, Lexington is a city not to overlook. With equestrian fascination and pride in historical heritage, the city of Lexington was once home to famous figures like legendary politician Henry Clay and the unforgettable Mary Todd Lincoln. Their classic dwellings are still maintained as impressive tourist attractions. Just north of Lexington, the Kentucky Horse Park sits on 1200 acres and is an educational theme park and equestrian sports center offering special live shows. Housing 50 different breeds of horses, this local complex pays homage to Lexingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s source of pride and tourism. With the International Museum of the Horse, visitors can view the beautiful animal via museum exhibits and

programs, horseback and carriage rides, and special shows. The park also has a year-round, 260-site campground, a restaurant, and an excellent gift shop. The Red Mile Harness Track is the place to see harness racing, where jockeys are pulled behind horses in special two-wheeled carts. It is the second oldest harness track in the world, and has staged some of the greatest equine battles in history for over 130 years. Live races are in the fall, but visitors can watch and wager on simulcasts of races 365 days a year from around the world. In April and October, Keeneland Race Course holds horse races that attract visitors from all over. A National Historic Landmark, Keeneland was constructed in 1936 and helped to restore horse racing when it was staggering. Horse sales occur throughout the year, and from March to November onlookers can observe the champions train

for the races. The Thoroughbred Center serves as headquarters for thoroughbred training in the area, and houses approximately 800 horses and two race tracks. Most farms are closed to the public, but visitors can see working races horses up close here with tours of the stables and tracks. Spanning 240 acres, there are also two race tracks and children’s theater productions here. In addition to the horses, Lexington is known for its fine bourbon and historical attractions. Visitors can plan a Kentucky Bourbon Trail experience with a mapped out tour of several

distilling companies in the area. Start at the Town Branch Distillery, which is named after the limestone stream that runs through Lexington. Located in the center of downtown Lexington, they offer samples of their Bluegrass Sundown, which is a popular bourbon-infused coffee drink. Less than a mile away from Town Branch is Barrel House Distilling Co., which features many unique products to sample and is one of the founding members of the Kentucky bourbon Trail Craft Tour. The Woodford Reserve Distillery is the oldest and smallest

The Mary Todd-Lincoln House was built in the late Georgian style in 1806, and was initially an inn. Sold in 1831 to Robert Todd, Mary’s father, the house became home to Mary and family until she moved out in 1839. The historic home has articles from the first lady’s childhood and her years as Abraham Lincoln’s wife, and now appears as it did when the Todds once lived in it. This is

the first site in the United States dedicated to a First Lady. Arguably one of Kentucky’s most famous statesmen, Henry Clay was a Speaker of the House and Secretary of State as well as the “Great Compromiser” who warded off the Civil War for a time. Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate, is now considered a National Historic Landmark, and features period items and furnishings along with manicured gardens on its remaining 20 acres. The Waveland State Historic Site was constructed by descendants of Daniel Boone, and features many classical details including ionic columns and moldings. Featuring family possessions, this refined, brick-built Greek Revival home also houses outbuildings with slave quarters - a very interesting view of early Kentucky life.

t’s 30 seconds to several minutes of dreaded discomfort: Heat rising in your neck and face, blotchy skin and beads of perspiration. If you’re in a business meeting, you feel self-consciously anxious. If you were sound asleep, you’re robbed of minutes or even hours of rest. You might have just left the house feeling fresh, but now you want to head back to the shower. The unwelcome onslaughts might happen a few times a week or several times a day. To add insult to injury, the frequency and intensity of hot flashes can rise with the temperatures during the summer months. Hot flashes can result from other conditions, such as thyroid trouble or an infection. Or, they can be a side effect of medications. Yet 75 percent of women during the years before or after menopause – i.e., perimenopause – experience this symptom, said Janell Powell, MD, with Avera Medical Group Internal Medicine Women’s Sioux Falls. The exact cause of hot flashes is still a mystery, but it’s HB Ortho mag ad 514A:Layout 1

thought that changing hormone levels impact the hypothalamus – the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. Hot flashes might begin as early as the 30s and last into the 80s. Most women have them for an average of three to six years, yet more than one-third of women report moderate to severe hot flashes for 10 years. “Generally, the earlier they start, the longer they last. There’s no reliable way to know how long they will last,” Dr. Powell said. For some women, hot flashes are a tolerable nuisance. For others, they are a major life interruption. “Not every woman needs treatment for hot flashes. It comes down to how it is affecting your quality of life,” Dr. Powell said. There are many ways to ease hot flashes. Often, it’s a trial-anderror process of finding what solutions will work for you. That might include avoiding those things that make hot flashes worse: Stress, lack of exercise, smoking, a high-carb diet, caffeine and excessive alcohol. “Try to identify and avoid what triggers your hot flashes,” Dr. Powell said.

Wear light, cool clothing. Keep your environment cool, especially at night. When you feel a hot flash coming on, take slow, deep breaths. Get plenty of exercise. Lose weight if you are overweight. Try meditation. Eat a healthy diet with more fruits, vegetables, protein and fiber. Several over-the-counter remedies and supplements are on the market, including soy and black cohosh. It’s important to realize that these remedies are not FDA-approved, and potency varies. No supplements have been scientifically proven to be safe or effective. “You just want to be careful. If you wish to try supplements, start with a low dose, and see if you’re gaining any benefit,” Dr. Powell said. Estrogen remains the most effective medical treatment.

Yet health risks have been associated with estrogen therapy. “Women can minimize these risks by taking the lowest possible dose for the shortest period of time, to get them through the most difficult time when the symptoms are the most intense,” Dr. Powell said. There are several non-hormonal medications that can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, including antidepressants at low doses. The newest medication is Brisdelle, is the first non-hormonal drug approved by the FDA for treatment of perimenopausal symptoms. It is a low dose of the antidepressant Paxil. Another novel therapy is a nerve block to the neck – a common treatment for pain. This therapy is more expensive, and must be

performed by an anesthesiologist. “For most women, it would come down to insurance coverage,” Dr. Powell said. Dr. Powell advises that women address their health in its entirety in order to feel their best at midlife. This involves not only hormonal changes, but also bone health; chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes; weight management; and lifestyle choices. “This can make the difference between surviving and thriving at midlife,” Dr. Powell said. “Steps like more exercise, reducing stress, working to improve your sleep, and eating a better diet really do help.” To learn more, go to AveraInternalMedWomens.org

On the wall just inside the door is a piece of his kindergarten artwork showing a big, friendly puppy – with an airplane up in the corner. “Almost everything he has ever drawn, no matter the

assignment, has an airplane in it,” says his mom, Piper. Navy blue, denim blue and red provide the room’s palette. The colors show up in pillows on the dark four-poster bed, lamps and in other accessories which have a vintage feel, such as stacked boxes adorned with stars and a trio of wooden dice on the nightstand. A colorful map of the United States hangs above Hutton’s bed, and each state’s name is written in a different style of lettering. Another framed piece of art has a large red “H” with “Hutton”

below it. Among all the colorful prints on the wall is the face of a smiling boy drawn in pencil. The portrait was created by a few years ago by a cousin, who was just 14 at the time. Piper took the paper original to Harold’s and had the store create a canvas print. That print actually turned into several canvas pieces that were shared with other family members as gifts. Keeping watch in the room is a family of stuffed tigers, in honor of the Harrisburg school mascot. Hanging above the tigers is a framed poster with the boy’s smiling face proclaiming “Hutton for Sheriff.”

When the Keinroths lived in Minnesota, there was an individual with the last name of Hutton who was running for local sheriff. Piper took one of the red, white and blue signs, cut out a spot for their son’s picture and then inserted the sign into a bright red frame. The real star of the room, though, is the airplane. Or rather, the collection of airplanes. From art on the walls and the shape of a dresser lamp to the nightlight cover and a painted stool in the corner by the closet, the airplane takes center stage. Throughout the Keinroth’s home are features that are part of

Bok-Nel’s design signature, such as tray ceilings, reverse tray ceilings, cut-outs and detailed framework around windows and doors. “Every room has some unique feature like that,” says Piper. “It’s that design and quality work that really drew us to this house.” Hutton’s room is no exception. An open, cut out space above the closet created the perfect place to hang a collection of colorful, vintage airplanes from ceiling hooks. This room provides a great space for Hutton to hang out, relax and let his imagination take flight.

Sanford’s nurse midwives put women first. by Terry Engelmann CNM & Al Runzel, CNM, Sanford Women’s

he word “midwife” is used a lot. Although the term originated centuries ago, confusion about the profession remains. The literal description is a person “with women” at birth. And the team of certified nurse midwives at Sanford Women’s feels that is a good basis for the role they serve. “We are by a woman’s side through it all,” says Al Runzel, certified nurse midwife with more than 30 years of experience. “We are listening to what women want and we are a champion for their desires during the birthing process.” The team of six certified nurse midwives at Sanford Women’s in Sioux Falls takes a high touch, low technology approach to the care they provide.

• Hydrotherapy • Hypnotherapy • Mindfulness • Use of a doula if desired • Massage • Acupressure

“Pregnancy and birth are normal human processes,” says Runzel. A normal, healthy birth provides many benefits. It allows babies to successfully adapt to life outside the womb with improved overall health. It also facilitates new mothers to feel physically and emotionally well and to be better able to respond to their baby’s needs. “Our goal is to maximize a woman’s ability to handle labor and birth without intervention. We facilitate the process.” But certified nurse midwives also have the expertise to intervene if needed, to ensure mom and baby are safe and healthy. While some midwives offer at-home births, Sanford’s nurse midwife team always works in the hospital setting. And in that environment, Sanford’s nurse midwives also have immediate access to advanced medical or surgical care if absolutely necessary. When the unexpected happens, nurse midwives continue to provide support and advocate for mothers. “We do everything within our power to give mothers the birth plan they want,” Runzel says. “But we also understand that surgical intervention or other techniques may be necessary to keep mom and baby healthy. And we may have to help a mom understand why it’s necessary to make a change.” Terry Engelmann, certified nurse midwife says another issue

What is a certified nurse midwife or CNM? They are educated in the two disciplines of nursing and midwifery and also possess certification according to the requirements of the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM). They provide a personal, relationship-based approach to women’s health care. In addition to pregnancy, labor and birth, nurse midwives offer routine well-woman care for teenagers to postmenopausal women.

that can get confused by the public is the different types of midwives. Some people who provide midwifery services do not possess the same level of education and experience as Sanford’s team. “We are certified nurse midwives,” she says. “We must complete a Master’s degree and then be national board certified in nurse midwifery. In South Dakota, it is only legal to practice midwifery as a certified nurse midwife, with joint licensing by the board of nursing and the board of medicine.” Engelmann says the entire team prides itself on combining the latest in research and therapies related to the birthing process, but never forgetting to inject compassion and empathy for each of their patients. “We are here to help you have your baby; your way,” Runzel says. “We won’t dictate how you should do it, but simply provide guidance and help you fulfill your wishes as a mother. I believe Sanford’s midwifery services are one of the best kept secrets in Sioux Falls.” Call (605) 328-4600 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Man To Celebrate

by Amity Shay Neff

s Father’s Day is fast approaching, I cannot help but being taken back twenty years ago. A picture of summer was all around from birds’ harmonious songs to the blankets of foliage that covered every patio. In the air was the scent of charcoals roasting favorite meats, and for my grandfather it was always steak. I adored my grandfather more than I could ever explain. He was just that special. That’s why when Father’s Day came, I always did something extra fun. One year, I made him an apple pie, and he ate it even though it was part raw and not tasty. Yet, he ate it because of the mutual fondness that we carried for each other.

Celebrations

Father’s Day has away held a special place in my heart because my grandfather filled those shoes for me. Even though he wasn’t my father and he married my grandmother a few years before I was born, I could not have asked for a better man to guide me through life. I loved that I too, could celebrate the man who was in the front row at my graduation, the man who eventually walked me down the aisle, and who’s name is lovingly shared with my four children. A brilliant, passionate and endearing man; with or without being a father can be a fabulous reason to celebrate Father’s Day .

Now, we have new traditions and I thoroughly enjoy helping my children celebrate their father. In the past years, we have created movie montages, purchased unlimited car washes and baked a variety of sweet cakes. This year will be no different, except for how we are celebrating. We enjoy playing outside while he stands before his smoking grill with great pride. So we are planning on surprising him with new grill tools, some flavorful pellets for his grill and new exotic rubs and spices to complement his favorite meat choice, which is ribs. We most certainly will make his favorite cake; a strawberry

creme cake adorned with fresh organic strawberries. Prepare some if his favorite side dishes that make him feel at home; especially since he was proudly born and raised in the Midwest. Potato salad, beans, fruit salad, and sauerkraut for his famed brats. The best part is making all of his favorite foods together. Then as we prepare the food, we share stories and laugh and giggle; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best! Once everything is ready, we gather together, share an open appreciation for our gifts in life, especially each other. After all our tummies are full, each child stands together

eagerly awaiting their turn to give their handmade gift. Hand print cards, clay pinch pots, tie dyed ties and finger painted masterpieces, pile in front of a blushing daddy. It’s not the gifts, or the delicious cake or the fancy spices; but the time together. It’s so funny how when we really sit down and think of our special guy, small things come to mind. Like how he always puts them

first: sacrifices football for a “kid show”, makes a quick trip to the local hardware store an adventure, and keeps a watchful eye on them while they explore their world. It could be the hugs and kisses, but it’s really the taking his lunch break to attend school functions, getting dressed up for a Father/Daughter dance, and of course, fishing. It is also the bedtime routine, the stories he

shares of his youth, and the pride in his face when each child has a success; no matter how small. Father’s Day is a time to celebrate that man who cannot be compared to another. A person who gives openly with his heart, not because he has to, but rather because he desires to. Celebrating with that special guy is one way you can show how

much you appreciate the time, effort and concern given to you over the years. What a blessing it is to have someone like this to walk with along your journey. So whether it be brunch, a new set of clubs or a portrait drawn by a three year old, a celebration is in order. Cheers to all the amazing fathers out there. Happy Father’s Day!

Jubilee! One Man’s Big, Bold, and Very, Very Loud Celebration of Peace by Alicia Potter As a young boy growing up in Ireland, Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore loved music -- the louder, the better!

So when the war ended and peace was restored to the country, Patrick had an idea. He would create the biggest, boldest, loudest concert the world had ever known to celebrate. A peace jubilee! But with twelve cannons, forty church bells, one thousand musicians, and ten thousand singers, just how would all of this sound? Matt Tavares’s spirited illustrations burst with sound words in perfect harmony with Alicia Potter’s triumphant story of the joy of music. Ages 7 yrs - 12 yrs Candlewick Press

y a D s ’ Father Crafts for Kids by Jessica Weischedel

Balloon Stress Balls

Father’s Footsteps

Materials Needed: Balloons, Play-dough, a permanent black marker, and any decorative ribbon or note cards you want to add.

Materials Needed: Light colored construction paper, sponge or paint brush, washable paint in a separate color for each shoe, left shoe from each child, and Dad’s left shoe.

Instructions: Blow up a balloon, then release the air a few times to help it stretch out a bit. Stretch open the neck of the balloon, then add Play-dough in small pieces, pushing it down to the bottom of the balloon each time. It is easier with two people! Fill it until the Play-dough can not be pushed down any further, then release the neck of the balloon and tie it off, being sure to squeeze down any Play-dough that might be caught in the neck. Let your kids decorate the balloon however they’d like for Dad. For example, smiley faces or a note about how much they love him.

82 friends & family |

for kids

Instructions: Lay your construction paper down on a surface that is flat, then lightly paint entirely over the sole of Dad’s shoe with the sponge or paintbrush. Place the sole of the shoe down onto the construction paper from heel to toe, as if you were walking. Make sure all of the edges of the sole touch the paper. Put your finger at the corner of the paper closest to the heel and lift the shoe from heel to toe, showing your child how to make a shoe print on the paper. Using a different color of paint, have your child do the same steps to the sole of their left shoe. If there is more than one child doing this craft, be sure to have the largest shoe go first, and print inside Dad’s shoe print as if they were literally walking in their Father’s footsteps. Let the artwork dry, then use a marker to write a loving message to Dad and decorate as desired.

Best Dad Trophy

Chili in a Jar

Materials Needed: Two paper or foam coffee cups, a small square box, masking tape, gold chenille pipe cleaners, gold craft paint, black construction paper, white paint pen, scissors, paintbrush, and glue.

Materials Needed: Mason jar with lid, dried beans of your choice for chili (suggestions include kidney, black, garbanzo, navy, and blackeyed peas), spices of your choice for chili (suggestions include cumin and chili powder), dried onions, and ribbon for decoration.

Instructions: Glue the bottoms of the two cups together and let dry completely. If your small box has a lid, tape it shut by covering the entire box with masking tape. Once the glue on the cups is dry, wrap a piece of masking tape around the middle where the two cups meet, then paint both of the cups and the box with gold paint. Let dry. Cut the chenille pipe cleaner in half, then bend each piece to form a trophy handle. Insert into each side of one of the cups to create both trophy handles. Cut the black construction paper to fit onto the side of the box, then write “World’s Best Dad” with a white paint pen or white paint. Glue this to the side of the box that will be the front of the trophy. Taking the cup that does not have the trophy handles attached, place glue along the rim and press onto the top of the gold box. Let the glue completely dry, then fill the trophy with Dad’s favorite candy or whatever treat you desire.

Instructions: Pour all of your spices in 1/4 inch layers into the bottom of your jar. Level the powder by gently knocking on the jar after pouring the spices in. Do this same step with different kinds of beans, alternating with light and dark colors for a more appealing look. Continue layering your beans until the jar is almost full, then seal the jar with your choice of decorative ribbon or string and a tag for Dad with instructions on how to make the delicious chili of your choice.

PETS

pet ownership usually comes from one of the spouses or parental guilt for a child’s request. It can be a well thought out idea or in other cases, an impulse. When selecting a new friend for your family, is it about style, athleticism or personality? It can cause quite a stir in some family dynamics if a choice is made on a single trait that only benefits one person in the family. Most often, it is the “hunting dog” that is supposed to live in an apartment. It fits for the one member, but may not be exactly what everyone else was dreaming about. The pendulum can swing the other way too, where the 4 lb. poodle is not very durable when around small children. Timing can also play a role in who loves the pet the most. If times are stressful, they can lower your blood pressure; unless a new baby has just arrived along with a puppy to housetrain! It can be hard for the stressed or overworked family member to ever bond with the new pet. It can be just too overwhelming at times. The recent loss of a pet can also affect how we feel about the new member of the family. For some, getting a new pet the next day is the right decision. Some of us need to be kept busy. The

new pet should never have to “replace” the deceased pet. It should be a new experience with a relationship all its own. For others, they need time to grieve. It can be difficult for them to bond. So, now the question of who’s pet is it? I laugh because in our home, it almost like a game of tag. I did not give my wife much of a choice when we were younger. She married a Vet and his Scottie, it was a package deal. When it was time for the late night walk or someone to take them out, it apparently became my pet. I would usually abide and take care of the problem. It somehow also can become your fault for accidents, chewed up shoes and missing food from the countertops. Our current dog Piper was my son’s acquisition with the aid of his mother. I truly love that Golden Retriever, but I relish in the times I get to say, “Hey, she is your dog!” It can become a comedic pass card for who has to get up and let her out. Weather also seems to play a role in this drama. If it is raining out tonight, we may just find out,”Who’s pet is it?” in your home!

Mammoth: Denizen of the Ice Dr. L. Adrien Hannus

M Mammoth: Denizen of the Ice Sioux Falls, Augustana College

ammoths entered the New World approximately 1.7 million years ago and ranged through this hemisphere until their final extinction at the end of the Pleistocene (Ice Age) about 10,000 years ago. The mammoth was the largest land mammal that existed worldwide during the last ice-age. This life-size sculptural representation is based on an actual specimen excavated in the White River Badlands of South Dakota at the Lange/ Ferguson archeological site. In life this mammoth stood 14 feet at the front shoulder and weighed approximately 9 tons (18,000 lb.). The sculpture has been left unpainted since mammoth fur recovered in the Soviet Union confirms that these animals had a reddish-brown coat very close to the color of rust. This sculpture is dedicated to the memory of Helen Bernice Hannas (19101991), an individual of wisdom and wit whose parting has left an unfilled void. Created by Eugene A. Anderson and L. Adrien Hannus, funded by Eugene and Miriam Anderson, Archeology Lab, Jerke Construction, and Jerry & Gail Simmons.

Mammoth Kill in South Dakota PaleoIndians (earliest American Indians) were the first humans to enter South Dakota. In this drawing several are shown killing an adult mammoth which had become mired in mud in a western South Dakota location. Thousands of years later the bones of this mammoth were excavated by an archeological group led by Dr. L. Adrien Hannus. Image owner: Robert N. Farrington.

Mammoth Sculptural Representation This life-size representation of an actual mammoth specimen is located next to the Archeology Lab on the campus of Augustana College in Sioux Falls. Mammoths were the ice-age relatives of modern elephants and represented the largest land mammals to have walked the earth following the demise of the dinosaurs. Large adults stood 12 to 14 feet at the front shoulders and weighed between 8 and 9 tons. Image owner: Archeology Lab, Augustana College.
