In many locations around the country, D1 facilities have associations with professional athletes, ranging from baseball and basketball to football and soccer. Athletes making the transition from college to the pro level utilize D1’s facilities and knowledge to gain an edge entering their
first training camp or spring training, in hopes of making an immediate impact for their teams. For athletes competing at the collegiate level, D1 can prepare them for their upcoming seasons by taking their physical skills to the next level, and also offer them a place to train in the off-season.
D1 isn’t just for the competitive athlete, however. They also offer a Family Program that gives families unlimited athleticbased training for one low, monthly fee. The family program not only focuses on physical health, but it also teaches the value of a strong work ethic and fosters

f walls could talk, the Mike and Wanda Jarchow home in Luverne, Minnesota, could bend your ear for a while. The story would take you back to just before the turn of the century‌the turn of the 20th century, that is. A.D. LaDue was a resident of Luverne in the late 1880s and began a career in banking about 10 years later, eventually buying an interest in the First National Bank and becoming its president. The LaDue house featured wood, leaded glass, and stained glass windows that were imported from Europe. A large, sweeping porch curved around the house on the north, with a carriage entry over a buggy drive across another side. With total finished floor space at approximately 6,500 square feet, the home was built with three stories, five levels, full basement and attic. Although the home remained in the family for nearly three decades, the depression years took their toll and left the home vacant. The home was converted into 11 apartments in 1940, and it is estimated that during this time, the lofty porch with pillars, spindles and lattice work was replaced by small entries with cement steps and wrought iron support posts. Mike Jarchow purchased the property in 1989. He began a porch restoration project in 1996, along with adding other details

to bring the LaDue house back to as close to its original look as possible. The property remained an apartment complex, until a few years later when newlyweds Mike and Wanda explored the possibility of converting a portion of the house into bed and breakfast suites. “Due to the size of the house, the fire marshal would have required large double doors on each floor along with installing a complete sprinkler system,” says Wanda. “We didn’t want to compromise the integrity of the house, so instead we converted three of the apartments into completely furnished suites for nightly, weekly or monthly guests.” In 2002, the Jarchows decided to convert the home back to a single family dwelling. The project began by gutting all of the exterior walls to the bare studs, replacing wiring and raising ceilings that had been lowered. They worked hard to preserve whatever history they could, such as the original woodwork of the grand staircase, and wood in the foyer, formal dining room and much of the woodwork on the second floor. The stained glass that had come from Europe is still in the home, too, as a focal point at the first landing of the staircase. It has only needed some minor repairs in the home’s conversion process.

The third floor of the home was completed a few years ago and converted into large, shared bedrooms for the girls. A set of bunk beds, two day beds and a twin hardly fill this roomy area which allows the girls to hang out together and still be able to have their own space. The lone boy of the family has his own room, with a unique wall mural and antique dressers to go with all of the cars, trucks, and sports stuff. Another room in the house that is great for the whole family is the music room, with its curved wall of windows, which have leaded panes at the top, soothing purple walls complemented by the restored woodwork, and instruments of every kind. The entire project has been quite a labor of love, says Wanda. “There are always projects to work on,” she says. “Mike says the restoration has been his hobby. He did most of the demolition, but we did bring in contractors and other workers at times. Most of our children were born throughout the remodeling process, and we actually had to move several times within our own home during the construction.”

pull-out drawers in a bathroom or kitchen that serve as a step stool for younger kids. And through it all, the couple remembered to think about themselves a little, too, creating a master suite with a decorative tray ceiling in the bedroom, an all-white spa bathroom and a walk-
in closet that you could comfortably walk into with a dozen of your friends. While people from the generation who would have remembered the home in its original form are few and far between, says Wanda, there are some who lived there during the “apartment years.”
“One woman told us her mother remembers some of the bands and gatherings in the third floor ballroom, such as Lawrence Welk.” While the home certainly is rooted in history, the Jarchow family brought it into a new century and created a place to make memories and share stories for years to come.

Chopped! BY JIM MATHIS
Y
esterday was my friend Michael’s birthday, and since it fell on a Saturday this year, we offered to have him, his bride, Kristi, and their 13-year old son, Cooper, over for dinner. I offered to make anything he wanted, be it fish or fowl, beef, pork or lamb. I know him well enough that I felt safe making that offer. Michael and I have been friends for about half of our lives and we’ve stayed tight as he and his family moved away and when they came back. But his reply to my offer to cook dinner was the perfect response for two friends like us. “That sounds great” he said, “but let’s do it Chopped style! I’ll bring the ingredients, you do the cooking!” Without hesitation I agreed, as long the ingredients didn’t include peaches. I hate peaches! As the day got closer we decided he’d bring the fixings for an appetizer and the entrée, and I’d supply dessert. This was going to happen, and we were going to have fun, a few cocktails and probably make a mess in the kitchen!

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
So about 5:45 on Saturday night, Michael’s truck pulled in the driveway and he got out with two bags from the local mega-mart. I was getting hungry, but I was excited to see what kind of goodies he’d brought for the meal. First up was the appetizer; about two dozen beautiful big shrimp, a jar of sweet Thai chili sauce and – here’s the kicker – a big jar of habanero garlic! The jar was filled with peeled garlic cloves in a spicy habanero brine. I started to sweat a little. I quickly peeled the shrimp and packed them tightly on skewers. Being a little bit of a wuss when it comes to spicy stuff, I put on a pair of vinyl gloves before I reached into the jar. I admit the word habanero scared me more than just a little. I gently retrieved a clove and took a timid bite. Hot but not as hot as I expected! So I crushed about a dozen cloves of garlic over the shrimp skewers, drizzled on some olive oil and let them marinate for a few minutes. I started a small pan on the stove with about half a jar of the sweet Thai chili sauce, added some honey and the juice and zest of an
“I’ll bring the ingredients, you do the cooking!”
orange, I figured a little extra sweetness and acid would help to tone down the spicy garlic. The shrimp skewers went on a hot grill for a few minutes on each side to cook until they were just opaque. When they were done, I divided them onto small plates and poured a little of the sauce on each. The appetizer round was a hit! Now on to the entrée! Michael and I both enjoy a big steak, so I was hoping that might be his choice of protein and I was right. Out of the bag came four big Porterhouse steaks, but there were five of us eating… then he produced a couple of Iowa cut pork chops. His wife Kristi is not a big fan of steaks, but she loves a good pork chop. So my twist with this round was steaks and pork chops. He’d also included two pints of mushrooms, a red onion, a bottle of apple grilling sauce, and a big bag of Brussels sprouts. The entrée round was on. The back story on the Brussels sprouts; my beloved and I had visited our friends when they lived in Montana and I fixed Brussels
sprouts with bacon, balsamic and honey. Their whole family loved them, so he was requesting the same again. I had a couple of strips of bacon in the fridge, so I was happy to oblige. The steaks and mushrooms were easy, I already had the grills fired up, so I seasoned the beef and they went on the fire. The mushrooms were sliced and sautéed with onion and some garlic. As they cooked down, I added a little dry sherry and some mushroom stock and cream to make a sauce for the steaks. The pork chops got a glaze of the apple grilling sauce. About 30 minutes later, we were sitting down to dinner. Everyone was happy with the meal (and they over-looked the slightly broken mushroom sauce), and more important than the food, we had a great time cooking, eating and laughing. 13-year old Cooper may have over-estimated his ability to consume a big T-bone, but he hung with his dad and I for quite a while. Dessert was a simple mixed berry compote over angel food cake with a little whipped cream. A nice sweet end to the evening. When I told people ahead of time what we were planning, the response was mixed. Some thought it would be fun to watch, others thought it would make the night stressful. They couldn’t have been more wrong. Most of the time, when you have people over for dinner, you’ll spend hours planning, prepping and cooking, trying to have everything ready before your guests arrive. But this evening was easy. Nothing to prep. I made sure the fridge and pantry were stocked with the stuff I would normally need for dinner. I cut some herbs from the garden and rinsed them ahead of time. Otherwise, all I did was light the grill, make a cocktail, and pick out a playlist on the iPod. Michael did some grocery shopping, but again, not a whole lot different than a normal dinner. All things considered, this might be the perfect way to do a dinner party. No worries, little stress and a fun Chopped challenge. Everybody wins! Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

realized what he was saying. He didn’t want to know what he should be smelling or what he should be tasting on the palate, he just wanted to experience it and draw his own conclusions. I quickly shut my mouth and watched him savor the beer the way it was intended: no pretenses, no judgments, no demands. After all, whether it’s beer or wine, it’s about the experience. Since that day, I’ve dramatically changed the way I describe beer and wine as I find myself using descriptors instead of descriptions. Here’s a list of some of my favorite words to use when describing wine while allowing the wine taster room for their own experience.

“Stop! Stop! I don’t want to drink your words!” ACIDITY I love wines with lots of acidity; highly acidic wines make you salivate uncontrollably, in a good way.
New World ones too. There’s nothing more I like to discover in a wine than terroir.
FLABBY ANGULAR
Flabby means the wine has no acidity. It’s a negative connotation so don’t say it to a wine maker!
An angular wine is like putting a triangle in your mouth – it hits you in specific places with high impact and not elsewhere. An angular wine also has high acidity.
FLAMBOYANT
AUSTERE
A flamboyant wine is trying to get your attention with an abundance of fruit.
This is a very unfriendly wine. It hits your mouth and then turns it inside out. It usually means the wine has very high acidity and very little fruit flavors. An austere wine is not fruit-forward.
BIG Big describes a wine with massive flavor in your mouth that takes up all sections of your mouth and tongue. A big wine is not necessarily a fruit-forward wine, it can also mean that it has big tannins.
HINT OF… Hint of = This-Wine-Definitely-Has-This-Character-Especiallyon-the-Finish. Expect things like oak, herbs, fruits, soil, or cat pee in the flavor when there is a hint of it in the description.
JAMMY
BRIGHT
Sommeliers and wine experts cringe when they hear this term, but jammy indicates a wine with a cooked berry sweetness that is syrupy and often is used to describe wines like Zinfandel, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, and Shiraz.
Bright wines are higher in acidity and make your mouth water. Refer to ACIDITY.
LEES
CHEWY TANNINS When you take a sip of wine with chewy tannins, it dries out the interior of your mouth so that you “chew” or clean the tannins out of the insides of your mouth.
Lees are an actual winemaking term describing the dead bits of yeast particles that generally sink to the bottom of a wine. Lees are stirred up once a day to make a wine have a thicker creamy texture.
SILKY CIGAR BOX Cigar box flavors are hinting toward sweetness and cedar-wood with an abundance of smoke. Wines with cigar box flavors pair well with a comfortable leather chair.
CRISP The word crisp with wine is more often used to describe a white wine. A crisp wine is most likely simple but goes really well with a porch swing on a hot day.
Silky is the red-wine equivalent word to creamy with white wines.
TIGHT This wine is not quite ready to drink. Tight wines usually have very high tannins, hard-to-identify fruit characteristics, and are almost hard to drink. Tight wines will benefit from being decanted.
UNOAKED
A great descriptor for most Old World wines and some powerful
Typically used to describe Chardonnay when it is only stainless steel fermented, and no oak is used. The result is an extraordinarily clean, crisp wine.
Whatever words you use, make sure to respect those around you. We all have our own palates, and they should be used to experience and enjoy beverages of all kinds, on your own terms. Thank you to my friend for reminding me why I got into this business in the first place; there is no better pleasure than finding our own words.

Plastic Surgery: Not Just for Movie Stars

hen the topic of plastic surgery arises, you’re usually learning about a movie star’s new look through an entertainment show, tabloid magazine or gossipy web article. These procedures have always seemed reserved for the glamorous; how often does the average Joe get plastic surgery? “More often than you think,” says Mark Shashikant, MD, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Avera Medical

“If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy attitude toward yourself, it’s OK to explore your options when the mental image of yourself doesn’t match your outside.”
Group Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. “In fact, even more so than movie stars.” If you’ve ever tossed around the idea of liposuction or a nose job, you’ve probably heard many different opinions from your family, significant other or even coworkers. “Plastic surgery is a very personal decision; you’re doing it for you!” said Barry Martin, MD, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. “If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy attitude toward yourself, it’s OK to explore your options when the mental image of yourself doesn’t match your outside.” People from Baby Boomers to Millennials are exploring procedures as
simple as Botox injections to facelifts. People are opting for plastic surgery to refresh their look, stay competitive in the workforce or adjust after pregnancy. The top three cosmetic plastic surgeries Martin and Shashikant see personally are abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation. “Tummy tucks are desirable after significant weight loss or pregnancy,” said Martin. “The abdominal walls are stretched and weakened; plastic surgery tightens the muscle wall and excess skin is removed.” Contrary to what many people may believe, liposuction is not a weight-loss
solution. “During liposuction, we focus on removing only fat stores that don’t fit the patient’s frame. Removed fat is then sometimes used to rejuvenate other parts of the body,” explained Shashikant. Martin added that weight regain is very unlikely because “these individuals are usually already leading a healthy lifestyle.” And breast augmentation simply involves making a 4- to 6-centimeter incision and inserting a silicone implant under the breast muscle. These operations are outpatient procedures and recovery takes a few weeks. Even though you may return to work within a few days, it’s important to avoid any

strenuous activities until you’re fully healed. Each procedure is unique, so it’s imperative to follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend any follow-up appointments. Though 90 percent of all plastic surgery patients are women, men are also going under the knife. “Men in their mid-50s who are staying in the workforce see plastic surgery as a professional investment,” said Shashikant. Men are more likely to request nose jobs and liposuction. “They view younger professionals as competition.” Both Martin and Shashikant are
tentative about performing procedures on individuals under age 18 unless it is a significant deformity or a minor change, such as ear pinning. Why? Because the body continues to develop and change well into your 20s and proper consent requires maturity. “We will always advocate for the patient’s health first,” Martin said. Before approving surgery, ask your plastic surgeon about his or her qualifications. “You have the right to know about your surgeon’s credentials,” advised Shashikant on the importance of complete
transparency in health care. Ask ‘Are you board certified to perform the procedure I’m requesting?’ Also, plastic surgery isn’t covered by most health insurance unless it is medically necessary, such as breast reconstruction after cancer or skin grafts after trauma. However, it can often be done in tandem with other procedures. After a hysterectomy, for example, a plastic surgeon may perform a tummy tuck while the patient is still under anesthesia. Insurance will cover the hysterectomy; you will be responsible for the tuck.

here are some people in the world who prefer to have an adventure every once in awhile. Individuals who crave a temporary change, a refresher, a break from the beaten path. One might argue that vacations from our usual routines are important for our health and well-being. A road trip might be in order for those who think it’s time to get away, and Route 66 is the perfect way to go. Passing through the heart of the United States from the Midwest to the Pacific, Route 66 is nicknamed the “Main Street of

America” or “The Mother Road”, and is full of interesting and quirky landmarks and attractions throughout several different states. This year marks the 90th anniversary of Route 66. At 2,448 miles long, it joins Chicago and Los Angeles. It has been woven into America’s movies and literature, including the novels Fear and Loathing, On the Road, and Grapes of Wrath. While driving, you will pass countless unusual sights on the way, like a pinball machine exhibit, a Cadillac graveyard, and fiberglass structures of Muffler Men.
It all begins in Illinois. Starting in Chicago, with coffee and doughnuts at Lou Mitchell’s, a 1923 diner and long-standing roadside attraction on Route 66. Once out of Chicago, you will travel through Pontiac, where you can visit the Route 66 Hall of Fame and see all of the highway’s history. Be sure to stop at Henry’s Rabbit Ranch and pet some bunnies in Stauntin and see all of the tomb of President Abraham Lincoln, the Lincoln Presidential Museum and the Lincoln Library in Springfield,
Illinois. If you happen to be going through Springfield on the last weekend join September, you will come across the Route 66 Mother Road Festival, which is a rally of classic cars, live music, and family fun. When you get to Missouri, enjoy the rolling hills and pristine farmland of Ozark country. Starting in St. Louis, you will be pleasantly surprised by the delicious frozen custard at Ted Drewes. Cross over the Chain of Rocks Bridge, and about an hour from St.

Louis, make a stop and stretch your legs on a tour of the Meramec Caverns where Jesse James hid out. Here you can take a guided tour of the underground caverns and biplane, canoe, and explore the Caverns complex on the edge of Meramec State Park. Visit landmarks from the Trail of Tears in Waynesville. Follow the route through the Ozark Mountains to Joplin, a city that has been rising up again after a recent tornado tragedy. Headed out of Missouri, travel just 13 miles through Kansas with attractions such as Cars on The Route in Galena and Angel’s on the Route in Baxter Springs as you go. The longest drivable stretch on Route 66 is in the state of Oklahoma. There are rolling hills and river valleys, and trying to follow with a modern map might not always be completely reliable. Stumble across roadside attractions like the 90-foot totem pole in Foil and the great Route 66 museum in Clinton, where you will find a new appreciation for the American way of life. You can enjoy one of more than 600 varieties of pop at Pop’s in Arcadia after you visit the Blue Whale in Catoosa, and in Tulsa, see the amazing Art Deco downtown and visit the Woody Guthrie Center for history on the devastating Dust Bowl. If you start feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere, you might now be in Texas. Stop in the ghost town of McLean, and don’t miss the Depression-era Art Deco attraction called Shamrock’s Tower Station and U-Drop Inn. Head west to Amarillo, where you can find 10 old Cadillacs buried nose-first in a wheat field at Cadillac Ranch. Bring a spray can, because visitors are encouraged to decorate the cars with graffiti! Look out for the neon signs that still stand over small towns, which is one of the many reasons this drive is so much more interesting than the interstate. Order a tasty burger and some pie at MidPoint Cafe in Adrian, and return to the road for New Mexico. Head north to Santa Fe and have some of the best chili you’ve ever tried at Tia Sophia’s. One of the longest unbroken stretches of historic Route 66 starts at the tiny town

Those who might be hungry will find Snow Cap Drive-In, which since 1953, has been offering menu items such as “dead chicken” and a mini museum to Route 66. The diner entices travelers with
a neon sign that reads, “Sorry, we’re open”. Nearly 90 miles of this winding historic highway followed by pristine two-lane black top will lead you to Kingman, then the curves start up again through Black Mountains.

On the home stretch, see two Harvey Houses, stay at a historic Wigwam motel set up in the 1930s, and check out a soda fountain in Pasadena that is from 1915. Back on the road, pass over the Colorado Boulevard Bridge and notice the ornate arches spanning the Arroyo Seco. All of this leads you to historic downtown Los Angeles, which is the original finish line of Route 66. Today, however, the official end of the road for the Main Street of America is at the Santa Monica Pier and the beautiful beach on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. Those who make it to the finish line should remember to document your achievement by taking a celebratory photo on the pier!

key. Much of the enjoyment of driving Route 66 involves staying in eclectic motels and having a meal at a quirky diner. It would be wise to do some research ahead of time and see if there are any useful ratings and reviews of certain sights to do and see along the way. Find out what is worthy to be seen, how long it might take you to see it, and what time of day you will be there so you don’t run out of sunlight. This will help you with having an idea of how long the trip might take you. However, always leave room for some flexibility, since it’s better to be spontaneous every once in awhile while on vacation. Be prepared to get lost, so that if it does happen, you have a plan of what to do. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions and make sure you look over a map of the area you are in. Whatever you do, remember to not let anything that might happen that wasn’t on the agenda spoil your trip!

If kids replaced the bars, powders, pills and energy drinks with whole foods first, they would likely see an improvement in performance without paying extra money for questionable products.
A
s kids head back to school, many who are involved in sports will begin practice for their fall sports. Many young athletes know eating well is good for their overall health, but when it comes to sports performance, young athletes and their families are often exposed to messages from the media or from peers and friends that sports supplements are the best way to get the most out of practice and during performance. Dietary supplements are defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as any product that contains a dietary ingredient (such as a vitamin, mineral, herb, amino acid, other botanical). When we are referring to sports supplements, that ingredient is taken in order to aid sports performance.

The problem with dietary supplements is that unlike the way the food industry is tightly regulated by the U.S. government, dietary supplements aren’t required to get approval by the FDA, so there is no assurance on the supplement’s safety, purity or effectiveness, no matter what you read on the label. For instance, just because a product says it’s going to help an athlete run faster, feel better, jump higher, or contains so many grams of protein, there is no one regulating those claims, so you could be paying big bucks for a supplement that won’t live up to its claims. To make matters worse, because the supplement industry isn’t very well-regulated, there has been a big problem with supplements getting contaminated with banned substances that

prevent athletes from playing their sport, but can also cause health problems. Many athletes are convinced they have a quality product because a friend, parent or coach has recommended the product, or because the product cost more than other similar product. But personal accounts that a product “works” or price tag do not always mean the product has been studied to do what it says it will do or that it is a high quality, uncontaminated product. It’s important to point out that a lot of kids are skipping over the foundation of a healthy diet – vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy, protein and healthy fats – and going straight to the pills and powders that don’t contain the same nutrients and calories their active bodies need to play their sports. If kids replaced the bars, powders, pills and energy drinks with whole foods first, they would likely see an improvement in performance without paying extra money for questionable products. One instance where an athlete could use a supplement is if they have a specific KNOWN nutrient deficiency (such as low iron levels), or if they have to omit certain food groups due to allergies, medical issues, or if they have nutrition needs beyond what whole foods are providing them. In this case, a nutrition plan should be put into place, taking a foods-first approach, and working with a sports dietitian to figure out if that supplement is actually needed.

PARENTING & PREGNANCY
Some good questions to ask before your child takes sports supplement are: • Does my child eat breakfast every day? • Does my child focus on foods first, eating from several different food groups at each meal? • Does my child eat healthy foods most of the time, or rely on snack foods, desserts and fast foods? • Is my child adequately hydrated? • Why does my child want to take this dietary supplement? Is it just because everyone else is taking it? Why are they taking it? • Is the supplement safe? • Is the supplement legal? Does it contain a banned substance? • Has this supplement been researched, and will it work? • Could my child replace this supplement with a real-food version of the same thing? If you have questions about sports supplements, need help answering some of the above questions, or need to know more about taking a foods-first approach to building a performance plate for yourself or your young athletes, call the Sanford Sports Science Institute at (605) 312-7878 or e-mail me at Elizabeth.

BUGS BY JESSICA WEISCHEDEL
C
reate a bug collection with the kids! Here are some fun ideas on how to make some insect crafts this summer.
Light Up Firefly Materials: Jumbo plastic eggs, googly eyes, glue dots, a strong hole punch such as the Crop-A-Dile Tool, battery-operated tea lights, pipe cleaners, scrap fabric in a fun color or pattern, and scissors. Instructions: Using a hole punch, create two holes on the top of the egg for the antennae. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner and stick it through the each of the top holes and bend them so they stay put. Bend the other side down to look like antennae. Punch six holes (three pairs of two) into the bottom of the egg, opposite of the antennae for the legs. Cut the pipe cleaners into 4 inch pieces. Stick them through the holes on the bottom and bend on one side so they stay in place. These are the legs. Cut out small oval shapes from fabric. Put a glue dot on each wing and place on the top of the egg. These are the wings. Apply some googly eyes under the antennae. Open the egg and put a lit-up battery-operated tea light inside, then close again. It will look like your firefly is glowing, especially when it’s dark!

FOR KIDS
Bottle Cap Bug Magnet Materials: Bottle caps, acrylic paints, small round magnets, toothpicks, paintbrushes, and wiggly eyes. Instructions: For a bumble bee or a ladybug, paint 1/3 of each bottle cap black and allow them to completely dry. Apply more coats of paint until you can’t see through it, and make sure to let the paint dry between each layer. For the bumblebee, paint the remaining 2/3 of the cap yellow and repeat the coats until you can’t see through. Add black stripes once the yellow paint has dried. For the ladybug, paint the remaining 2/3 of the bottle cap red. Once dry, apply black polka dots to the red paint. Make sure each bottle cap is completely dry, then flip them over and glue a small round magnet underneath. Once the glue is dried completely, flip the cap back over and glue two wiggly eyes to the black portion. If you want to create a caterpillar, paint five bottle caps green until you can’t see through the paint. Add black and yellow dots of paint, then draw on a smile to the end cap. Glue the edges of the five caps together to form the caterpillar’s body. Once dry, flip the caterpillar over and glue on one magnet to the first cap and one magnet to the last cap. Once the glue has dried, flip it back over and apply one wiggly eye above the smile on the last cap.
DIY Bug Catcher Materials: Quart jar with lid, red and black paint, black pipe cleaners, red and white pom poms, glue, sticks, and greenery. Instructions: Remove the lid from a quart-sized jar and poke several holes in it. Paint the outside of the lid with red paint and let it dry. Add black spots to the holes on the top of the lid. Take two white pom poms and paint a black spot on the front, creating the eyes. Combine two pipe cleaners by twisting them together at one end, then wrap them around the jar lid’s outside edge. Twist them together in the back so they stay attached, and leave some extra at the end for antennae. Glue a red pom pom to the top of each antenna and let dry. Next, glue the white pom pom eyes to the front of the lid, which is the opposite side of the antennae. Go ahead and add some twigs, greenery, and outdoor elements inside the jar, then screw on the lid. Let the bug hunt begin!
Wooden Millipede Materials: Small disposable wooden spoon, paper cord, scissors, glue, and a black marker. Instructions: Turn the spoon upside down and with a black marker, draw two eyes on the top part of the spoon. You can also glue two small black beads or peppercorns as eyes, but be sure to allow the glue to completely dry before moving on to the next step. Cut twelve 4-inch strands of paper cord, then tie each strand into a simple loose knot. Tighten the knots around the base of the spoon until there are 12 legs on either side. Your millipede is now complete and should be able to stand on its own! If you are feeling even more ambitious, you can turn more wooden spoons into ladybugs, too.

Secret Tree Fort by Brianne Farley I have a secret tree fort, and YOU’RE NOT INVITED! When two sisters are ushered outside to play, one sits under a tree with a book while the other regales her with descriptions of a cool fort in a tree that grows ever more fantastical in the telling. What will it take to get the older sister to look up? The promise of a waterballoon launcher in case of attack? A trapdoor to stargaze through?

Who We Are! All About Being the Same and Being Different by Robie H. Harris Join Nellie, Gus, baby Jake, and their parents at Funland as they go on rides, watch performers, and play games along with many other children and grown-ups. As they enjoy their excursion, they — and young readers — notice that people are the same as one another in lots of ways, and different in lots of ways too. Accessible, humorous, family-filled illustrations; conversations between Gus and Nellie; and straightforward text come together to help children realize why it’s important to treat others the way they want to be treated and the way you want to be treated — whether a person is a lot like you or different from you, a good friend or someone you have just met or seen for the first time. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs Candlewickpress.com

He spends his days raging through the jungle, scaring every other dinosaur in sight with his fierce roar. Then, one night while he is sleeping, an abandoned egg cracks open and out pops a tiny dinosaur who decides right then and there that this scary tyrannosaurus is his father. And so begins the touching story of a little dino and his search for a dad—a tale sure to resonate with families of all stripes. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs Candlewickpress.com

Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs Candlewickpress.com
The Big Monster Snorey Book by Leigh Hodgkinson The sleeping monsters are making an awful lot of noise — snoring and grumbling, tapping and chattering. After such a long sleep, what happens if they wake up feeling hungry? Any little monsters around better watch out! With masses of monsters to spot and an awesome onomatopoeic text, children will ask for this hilarious, inventive book over and over again. While the text introduces readers to a cast of curious characters, including knobblykneed Norris, Flora the fussy fidget, and snotty Stanley, the illustrations suggest that something pretty monstrous might be going on. But sometimes the smallest monsters of all are the ones to watch out for! Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs Candlewickpress.com
The Girl with the Parrot on Her Head by Daisy Hirst Isabel has a best friend named Simon, who is very good with newts. But one day Simon moves away in a truck and never comes back. For a while Isabel hates everything and decides it’s better to be by herself. After all, she has a parrot who likes to sit on her head, and she has a system, sorting all the things in her room into boxes. But now she faces a new problem: the parrot worries about the box that is full of wolves, and Isabel secretly worries too. Can Chester, a boy who has a way with umbrellas and sticky tape, help? With simple illustrations full of touching, kid-friendly details, Daisy Hirst’s debut picture book is sure to make many new friends. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs Candlewickpress.com
How to Find Gold by Viviane Schwarz Finding gold isn’t easy. In fact it’s dangerous and difficult. It requires planning. First, Crocodile and Anna practice their secretkeeping faces. Then Anna lifts Crocodile up, to be sure she’s strong enough to carry gold. Together, they draw the whole world, with an X to mark the spot. Now Anna fetches the boat, and off they sail. What will they discover? The joy of sharing a journey with a friend outshines even the longed-for gold in this fanciful story brimming with humor. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs Candlewickpress.com
Little Honeybee by Katie Haworth In a spring garden, the flowers are slowly blooming as the weather warms up. And as the flowers come out, so too do other forms of life, especially those all-important pollinators — bees! This companion title to Little Pear Tree is a simple counting book with a difference: as readers count emerging spring flowers from one to ten, by peeking under petals and leaves, they will also discover the same number of bees humming and buzzing about. Among the many delightful flaps, readers will be able to open the petals of a sunflower and turn a vine of rosebuds into an archway of fully bloomed flowers. Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs Candlewickpress.com

IMPORTANCE OF MICROCHIPS If you want to be proactive about saving your pet’s life the most powerful tool of all could be the size of a grain of rice: a microchip. One in three family pets will get lost during its lifetime, and without identification, around 90 percent will not return home. Your pet’s microchip is permanent ID that cannot fall off, or be removed—but the microchip ID must be registered along with your contact information in order to identify your pet. The procedure is safe, easy, inexpensive, and practically painless.
