W
hat happens when four friends come together with a common vision for health and well-being? They start a REVOLUTION! In the case of Braden Bradfield, Brooke Moeckly, Colleen McGee Schurrer and Jennifer Tuttle, that revolution was a business of the same name that they felt filled a gap in the fitness offerings in Sioux Falls. During its opening week, Revolution Yoga & Cycle Studio already had 74 classes on the schedule, ranging from Power Yoga and Yoga Sculpt to Cycle and TRX Band Suspension Training. The studio also offers open times for members to come in and utilize the yoga and cycle space any way they choose, and the instructors are there on site to provide any help the member may need. The quartet of fitness friends literally built the business from the ground up – searching for the right location, designing the space, doing demolition inside their building, and then rebuilding it again into a studio filled with energy, light and inspiration. One of their primary goals was to provide a wide range of classes that felt accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities. In the area of yoga, for example, they offer restorative, meditation and chair yoga, as well as a beginner’s series and a prenatal class. Anyone who is interested in checking out any of the programs at Revolution gets the first class free. The team also designed a range of membership options, including one- and threemonth memberships that come with some added benefits, as well as punch cards in various denominations. In addition, there are discounted memberships available for members of the military, full-time college students, individuals age 65+ and current yoga instructors. What makes this place unique, says the team, is the environment. “The cycle studio has the excitement and technology of a night club,” says Bradfield, “and
etc. for her | June 2017 9
our yoga studio, which can be heated to around 90 degrees, provides a sense of tranquility even while you’re getting a good workout.” Finding classes is easy on the studio’s website, revolutionsiouxfalls.com. You can search by the type of class you’re looking for, by instructor, by day of the week and even time of day. The studio also has an app so that you can stay connected while you’re on the go. Each one of the partners has a unique spin on what Revolution means to them: BRADEN: “For me, Revolution is about inspiring riders and yogis to connect. To connect with your bike, with your mat, and with the Revolution community.” JENNIFER: “I’m passionate about teaching and learning. Come to class ready to be challenged and leave loving yourself.” BROOKE: “Let go of what weighs you down and rediscover your joy and swagger through rock and soul yoga. Make a connection to yourself and your community.” COLLEEN: “I wanted to be part of creating a space where anyone can come. My hope is when you walk away from the studio, you are the best version of yourself.” The foursome is excited with the response to Revolution Yoga & Cycle Studio already, and even though they are keeping busy with the current class schedule, they are already looking ahead to new offerings like date nights, yoga with DJs, a yoga teacher training in the fall and even a tropical retreat in early winter 2018. When you go to Revolution Yoga & Cycle Studio, be sure to look for Henry, the studio canine. His favorite poses? Why that’s easy - UP DOG and DOWN DOG!

Helen Sieler— who survived the Powder House Blast after being bludgeoned with a hammer, shot with a pistol, and left to be blown up —was well enough a few months later to show up at the William R. Nesbit trial to see him sentenced, in part due to her testimony, to life in the South Dakota Penitentiary for the murder of the man of her dreams. Two years later, the confession of the real killer proved her wrong. (Photo courtesy Robert Kolbe.) Floyd Parker, described by some witnesses as “Shiekish,” was set apart from his male accomplices not only by his good looks and snappish clothes, but also by his gentlemanly manner, a combination that won him the enduring affection of Helen Sieler. He died defending her honor. (Photo courtesy Bill Pattison.)
The Powder House Gang gathered in the Lobby of the Royal Hotel on Sioux Falls’ Main Avenue on the evening of December 31, 1936, before heading out to do their dirty work at the Larson Hardware dynamite shack east of town. The Parker Building, which housed the Royal, still stands, restored to its original conformation, as an office building (Photo Courtesy of Cirrus Commercial Properties.)

Dreamboat 1 of 3

ne must understand from the start that nobody died in the powder house blast of 1936. The idea that somebody did die in that epic explosion on New Year’s Eve of that year was the oft-repeated “alternate fact.” which was created by the account of the woman who escaped and which was sustained by a state’s attorney who
needed it to be true in order to pursue the prosecution of the men accused of lighting the fuse. Of course, the bits of a human body found scattered after the eruption on the east side of Sioux Falls seemed proof that someone had been blown to smithereens. And determined police work using the few identifiable remains showed that they belonged to one Floyd Parker, who had a
record in California. Aside from that, little was known of him, and even 80 years later he remains largely a mystery. Police photos show Parker to be a handsome dude with features somewhat resembling cinema heartthrob Rudolph Valentino. And according to the woman who loved him, he had gentlemanly manners hardly befitting a hardened criminal.

The Powder House Blast shook the bedrock on the Fred Dawley farm, at that time located about five miles east of Sioux Falls. The explosion of over 7,000 pounds of dynamite and blasting powder store windows in the downtown area of the city, raised a column of smoke hundreds of feet high, and was felt as far away as Estherville, Iowa, 110 miles away. Amazingly, no one was killed in the blast, but it nevertheless is cited as a most spectacular crime case in the city’s history. (Photo courtesy Bill Pattison.)
Helen was just 24 when she met him. She was a child of her time, having been raised during the era just after women had attained the vote and prohibition was put in force. The new free woman of the time was the “flapper,” a hard drinking, high kicking, sexually promiscuous type personified by the likes of Zelda Fitzgerald and the Dolly Sisters and depicted on film by the young Joan Crawford. Helen had been married three times already at that tender age, most recently to a thuggish outlaw by the name of Ed Sieler, and that marriage, too, was on the rocks. Despondent, Helen had returned to

her mother, Betty Kern, who was a maid at the Burlington Hotel, a place with a shady reputation on the south end of the Sioux City, Iowa, business district. The building was nestled on the fringe of “the Bottoms,” the area literally on the other side of the tracks, so designated for its tendency to be flooded frequently by the Floyd River, which emptied nearby into the Missouri and for its residents, the poor, late immigrants, blacks, and other “dregs of humanity” struggling to make a living, if they were lucky working in one of the packing plants in the area. One night in mid December of 1936,
Helen was wandering the streets east of the Burlington when she found herself on the Wall Street Viaduct. By her own testimony she was intoxicated, lonely and in despair. At that low point, she was approached by a man who introduced himself as “Harold Baker.” She was immediately taken with his appearance. After he tipped his black hat, Helen took in his camelhair overcoat, dark suit, tan shirt, shiny black shoes. But it wasn’t just his clothing that took her fancy, it was the way he talked, the sincere attention he gave her, the air of someone of a higher class genuinely concerned for her well-being. “I had never spoken to anyone
like that,” she said later. She summed up: ‘He was swell.” Their relationship, contrary to expectations, did not center upon sex. Although they took a room in a nearby hotel, not the Burlington, she said he left her there alone that night. And after they took a room at the Burlington the next day, they slept in the same bed, but, she said, “that was all.”
Dreamboat 2 of 3 She soon discovered that her platonic lover was no angel. He introduced her to his partner, one “Tom Tobin,” actually an
experienced bank robber from Sioux Falls named Leland Bradley. Together with a lowlife by the name of Slim Reeves and the owner of the Burlington, William “Billy” Nesbit, they were planning the fake robbery of the W.A. Ehlerman jewelry firm in order to collect on the insurance money. She even participated passively in forays into Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota during which a clothing store was robbed and dynamite, nitroglycerin, and safe-cracking tools were obtained. The fake robbery, which should have been a cinch, created an unexpected uproar when the safe, located on the second floor of the relatively new Orpheum Electric Building, blew out windows near the marquee, where a large crowd was gathered for the second show. Helen and her caretaker-lover fled to Omaha. Short of cash, they wired Nesbit, who had contracted with Ehlerman for the fake heist. But there would be no payoff until the insurance was paid, and it looked like the insurance would never be paid. Nesbit, Reeves, and Bradley went to Omaha, picked up Helen and “Harold,” and turned north, to Sioux Falls. The trip seemed jovial, overall, with much drinking and laughing and telling of stories. But Helen was fearful of being caught and had no taste for the crime spree that Bradley seemed to be outlining, starting with the robbery of a Sioux Falls restaurant. She and her dreamboat had talked about going to California where he said he had bonds put away to finance a happy-ever-after. The next evening, December 31, the gang gathered presumably to pick up more dynamite and other safe-cracking supplies. Again, there was much drinking. When Parker and Bradley attempted to break the lock into the Larson Hardware dynamite shack on the Fred Dawley farm, they got into an argument about Helen. When Bradley called her a slut, Parker came at him with a hammer. They struggled for the automatic pistol in Bradley’s overcoat. Bradley finally got control of it and shot Parker in the heart, killing him instantly. When Helen came
running up and bent over her sweetheart’s body, Slim Reeves struck her several times with the hammer and finally shot her with his revolver. Presuming her to be dead, the others left her lying inside the powder house along with Parker’s body, lit as stick of dynamite, and fled. That would have been the end of it if Helen had not revived and managed to walk and crawl to what for generations would be known as the Powder House Road (now by misguided fiat of the Sioux Falls City council named Veteran’s Parkway). She was picked up following the blast and taken to the Moe hospital at the south end of Main Avenue, where, believing she was dying, she told police the whole story from her point of view. The state’s attorney, E. D. Barron, jumped upon her version and used it to indict the remaining three. One turned state’s evidence, and the other two were sent to the South Dakota Penitentiary for life, despite Bradley’s confession, printed two years later in the Argus Leader, clearly identifying himself as the lone killer. It took a while for police to identify “Harold Baker” as Parker. But knowing his name did not tell who he really was, where he had attained such cultured ways, and why he had cared so tenderly for Helen Sieler.
Dreamboat 3 of 3 Despite her wounds, Helen lived on, remarried, then remarried perhaps twice more. She died at the age of 80. Although she had had many lovers and husbands, she must have had the secret satisfaction of knowing that one of them had cared for her for something other than her sex and had died defending her honor.
Ron Robinson is the author of Kaboom: The True Story of the Powder House Blast, available from Zandbroz Variety, the gift shop of the Old Courthouse Museum, the Center for Western Studies, and online at exmac. com. More about Helen Sieler and Floyd Parker will be printed in an article by Ron Robinson in South Dakota Magazine.

ack in 1999, Ryan Good was looking for a house – something “different” and outside of the “busy-ness” of the city. He found the perfect place in a development just east of Sioux Falls. “It’s like constantly being on vacation out here,” he says of the wooded lot that offers both privacy for all the neighbors in the development as well as a place to play. At first, it was just a place where he would hop on a 4-wheeler

and ride to the Big Sioux River. That changed several years later when he met Lesley, now his wife, and they started a family. The couple completed an addition six years ago to make room for their growing family, which now includes three children ages 11, 9 and 5. Last year, they decided to embark on a remodeling project to update the traditional oak décor to a style Lesley refers to as “rustic modern.”

Lesley says she wasn’t sure what to think at first when the designers talked about a combination of brown and black cabinets and an island topped with green granite. But, she admits, she loves the way it came together to create a warm and homey feel.

The kitchen did not previously have a backsplash, so they also added light-colored tile in a herringbone pattern. The light fixture above the island is certainly the focal point of the kitchen. The designers created a pendant chandelier by

island has three stools on each side for casual meals or just a place to hang out. A main floor laundry room and mud room off the kitchen ended up being a design surprise for both Lesley and Ryan. In contrast

to the kitchen, the cabinets are primarily white, and a large uncovered window looks out at the front entrance to their home. “Neither one of us would have picked out this wallpaper,” says Lesley, motioning to the swirls of brown, grey and white on the wall. “We weren’t sure about it when Denise and Michelle showed it to us, but it really looks great and ties all of the colors together.” The original stone fireplace in the living room stayed where it was during the remodel. The builders removed bookshelves from either side, but then in looking at the space again, decided builtin shelves belonged there. So, Ryan says, they built shelves back in, pointing out the unique scrollwork cuts of the wood shelves around the stones on the fireplace. “We were so lucky to work with Bruce Olson,” says Lesley. “His construction team has incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail.” With Ryan’s parents traveling south for the winter months, the family was able to move out during the bulk of the remodel, which included putting a darker stain on the oak floors, changing out all of the woodwork and doors in the home, as well as bathroom renovations. Their daughter, the oldest, has her own room that is all pre-teen glam in grey, pink and white. The designers created a fun accent wall using a multi-color stripe wallpaper as the base and a large, framed floral print (also wallpaper) on the center of the wall. She

also has a swing chair hung from the ceiling where she can curl up with a good book or watch her younger brothers playing in the backyard. The two boys share a room, with twin beds separated by an end table that has built-in lighting underneath and a stow-away compartment for electronics and cords. To give the boys more floor space, the construction team cut into the wall to create a built-in dresser with big, deep drawers. There was also room left above it to fit a flat screen TV. The master suite was updated with an accent wall covered in a natural texture wallpaper. Weathered wood end tables on either side of the bed and a deck off the bedroom create an outdoorsy feel inside that Lesley says makes her feel like she’s at a resort. In the master bath, a corner tub was replaced by a free-standing soaker tub. The space also features a large walk-in shower and closets for both Ryan and Lesley. “My husband and I have different tastes,” says Lesley, “but the designers were able to help us create a good mix with the design.” While the upstairs has more elements of Lesley’s style, the lower level has some spaces that are definitely for Ryan. The family room includes a seating area, fireplace and big table perfect for entertaining friends, family game night or for what Lesley calls overflow seating for holiday dining.

the wooded backyard. Then, with the opening of one door, the atmosphere changes to hunting lodge, with a bar area and game room that is home to rustic logs and several mounted hunting trophies hanging on the walls. Ryan has another area on the lower level, and that is his indoor-outdoor workshop for his chainsaw carving creations. He had the indoor space, but when he would go outside to work, he occasionally got caught in the rain and would have to move everything back inside. So, he came up with an idea to build a roof over the workspace using tall logs as roof supports. He created cuts in another log to turn it into a storage unit for his chainsaws. Things have changed at the house since 1999 – including the addition of some free-range chickens in the front yard. All of the time and decisions that went into the remodeling project, including the months they had to move out, were well worth it, says Lesley. The family appreciates the privacy created by the trees around their “feels-like-a-vacationspot” home, but they also love knowing they have neighbors close by.

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
J
une is here and that means different things to different folks. For some, it means a weekly Friday afternoon exodus to the lake or weekend softball, soccer or baseball tourneys with the kids. My weekend retreat is the patio behind our house. Over the years, we’ve made a few improvements to our backyard; pavers to the expand the patio, landscaping to terrace the hill in the back, a new shed and dog kennel, and we gained two additional patios out of the deal. Near the backdoor into the kitchen is the grilling zone. With music provided by outdoor speakers on the garage and afternoon shade from the garage and two maples in the neighbor’s yard, this is where it all starts. A few comfortable chairs with a view of yard and grills, close to the kitchen for beverage refills; from this spot I can multi-relax. It’s like multitasking things that help you chill. Listen to tunes, play fetch with Tonic the dog, start a fire in the grill, and put my feet up. All in one spot at one time. I’ve got the summer figured out. So today I’m going
to share a few tips to up your grilling and relaxing games this summer.
Tune In With the price of wireless speakers coming down and different ways of listening to music growing, there’s no reason you can’t take your favorite tunes with you. For me, I have an old school stereo receiver in the garage. I can listen to the radio, CDs or an iPod. I can connect my phone and stream music from Pandora, SiriusXM, Apple Music or any of the countless other online sources. For me, I’ve got my favorite jams so depending on the mood it’s usually the iPod or CDs. You might want to listen to a Twins game or a podcast...whatever you choose, it will help increase your relaxation quotient.
Invest in Comfort If you’re going to spend any time sitting outside this summer, get yourself a proper place to sit. If you’re still sitting on folding aluminum chairs with scratchy webbing or one of those “Chair in a
Bag” monstrosities, it’s time to invest in a couple of decent lawn chairs, the kind with a solid base and removable cushions (that you can protect from South Dakota weather). I also look for arms wide enough to balance a refreshing beverage. While you’re at it, add a footstool and side table. Comfort is the key!
Get a Good Grill I’m a fan of the Big Green Egg, but recently the good folks at Consumer Reports ran a side-by-side test of the Big Green Egg and the far less expensive Weber Kettle grill. They concluded that for most grilling tasks, the Weber held its own with the Big Green Egg. If you’re going to smoke a brisket or a pork butt, the Egg is probably the way to go. So here’s my advice: Think about how often you grill. If you’re like me and cook outside at least two or three times a week, spend a little more and get a good one. If you’re only going to grill hot dogs on the Fourth of July, then save your money. But that’s just crazy talk. No one would grill only once a year, would they?

“I’ve got the summer figured out. So today I’m going to share a few tips to up your grilling and relaxing games this summer.” Be the Best You Can Be You know the old saying, “you are what you eat.” And don’t you want to be the best you can be? Well then get off your wallet and buy the best food you can afford. Want dry-aged prime-grade beef? Pony up a few extra bucks. Are you into grass-fed American Bison? Go for it. Think of it this way, a really good steak from the butcher shop won’t cost as much as dinner at The Outback, and you’ll get a bigger, better steak at home. The same goes for chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. Buy the best and it still costs less than going out.
Secret Steak Night A friend of mine recently introduced me to the concept of Secret Steak Night. He and his son do this whenever his wife is out of town or busy doing something; the men have Secret Steak Night. She might say order a pizza, but instead they go directly to a butcher and purchase a couple of big T-bones. I think this rule could apply for you and your spouse on a night when the kids are sleeping over at a friend’s house or are away at summer camp. Or the girls could have a Secret Steak Night when the boys are at a ball game or busy with a Fantasy Draft. Whatever the reason, I’m

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
looking forward to Secret Steak Night. Tonight is one of those nights…but promise not to tell anyone.
Stay Hydrated Hanging in the backyard can be hard work. Remember that part about multitasking? Well, with all this relaxing, it’s important to stay hydrated. Your beverage of choice could be beer, wine or rum and coke. Or you might prefer an iced tea, lemonade or Arnold Palmer. For me, I’ll reach for a gin and tonic...it cures a thirst and protects against malaria all in one glass. (See the July 2016 issue of etc. for her online for more details.) My beloved has become a fan of the Jamison and Ginger Ale, with a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters. Whatever your beverage of choice, make sure to keep plenty on hand.
Dining Al Fresco (Home Edition) Since we’ve finished the backyard projects, we’ve been making much better use of the table and chairs out there. We’ve gone from once or twice a year to a few times each month. The area once occupied by the dog kennel has become our outdoor dining area. On a warm summer night it’s easy to sit out there after a nice dinner and
a talk well into the evening. My advice to you is to find a space for a table and a few chairs. Take the time to move your meal outside. A little change of venue can go a long ways towards making even a simple meal a little more special.
Dining Al Fresco (Away Edition) If you haven’t checked out the many outdoor dining possibilities in Sioux Falls, you’re really missing out. On the west-side you’ve got Johnny Carino’s and Granite City and others. Downtown has so many nice patios; Bros, K, Minerva’s, Parker’s and Paramount to name a few. And the best part is most of them are pet friendly. Tonic is a big fan of Mama’s Ladas! My advice; when the weather is nice, ask for a seat outside. That should give you a nice checklist to start your summer right. Now turn up some tunes, mix yourself a nice cold drink and do yourself a favor, eat something good today! When he’s not chilling on a patio somewhere, you can usually find Jim at ADwërks, the ad agency he runs in Downtown Sioux Falls.

I Say Syrah BY RICCARDO TARABELSI
42 nest |
VINO
I
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.

ou’ve seen that situation at least once in a sitcom: a ridiculously loud snorer and the annoyed spouse covering his or her ears with a pillow. Sure, it’s a good laugh for some, but for others, it’s a nightly reality! “Most everyone snores at one point,” said Noel Tiangco, MD, specialist in sleep medicine and pulmonology at Avera Medical Group Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine. “But loud, relentless snoring may be an indication that something worse is going on.” When you sleep, your body relaxes, and in some people the
air passages become very floppy and close up. In some people, these passages are already tight and narrow to begin with. This interferes with breathing and the body feels that it can’t get air in, causing you to choke and gasp and sometimes wake up. This can happen several times an hour (in some, over a hundred times an hour!), disrupting sleep. This condition is known as obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea can cause sleepiness during the day and fatigue. It can also result in headaches and difficulty

“Most everyone snores at one point.” “But loud, relentless snoring may be an indication that something worse is going on.” concentrating. Some individuals may not feel there’s anything wrong with their sleep because they’ve gotten used to their sleep apnea over the years. Importantly, obstructive sleep apnea may also be associated with high blood pressure, stroke, heart problems and other medical conditions. Typically, when we talk about sleep apnea, we associate the disorder with overweight, middle-aged individuals. Tiangco says that’s not always the case. “Sleep apnea can affect anyone. While it’s more common in people who are overweight, folks in a healthy weight range can have sleep apnea, too,” said Tiangco. “In fact, we see people who have lost several pounds in order to alleviate their sleep apnea, only to continue struggling with it!” Unfortunately, it’s not just adults as sleep apnea has been found in children as well. The side effects are much the same — exhaustion, poor performance in school, etc. And kids should not have to experience childhood in a sleepy autopilot! Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a sleep study. During the overnight stay in a sleep laboratory, a variety of information
from your body is collected, including your breathing, heartbeat, brainwaves and leg movements. Sometimes patients can take a sleep study machine home and conduct a more basic kind of sleep study from the comforts of their very own bed; ask your doctor about your options. The most common treatment for sleep apnea is using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. A mask — much like the one you wear when receiving oxygen at the dentist — covers your nose and provides a constant stream of air pressure through your nostrils, splinting the airway open so you can breathe. “As you sleep, your CPAP machine collects data on your breathing, which allows your doctor to see whether or not your sleep apnea is being effectively treated with the machine’s use,” added Tiangco. In rare cases, surgery may be an option for patients with sleep apnea. Sometimes an oral appliance may also be helpful. “If you snore and happen to be tired during the day, opening your airway through the use of a CPAP may be your path toward a better night’s sleep,” said Tiangco, “for you and your partner.”

Mind, Body & Spiritual DIRECTION ELLEN HOHM
S
piritual directors have been around for centuries, but recently the discipline has taken on a new life as many Christians from Catholics to Protestants have explored the old art of “Holy Listening” and “Conversation with God”. Spiritual directors really don’t direct! They listen and enhance dialogue, as they are not there to counsel, as much as to assist one in learning discernment and how to distinguish God’s voice.
The need for spiritual direction for many people stems from the fact that life can be incredibly difficult and confusing. Sometimes a counselor may be helpful and other times one might need another type of mentor to assist during times of transition and/or pain and grief. And some individuals have a great need to grow deeper in their faith without knowing and understanding what that means. In recent years, a growing number of individuals are finding

The need for spiritual direction for many people stems from the fact that life can be incredibly difficult and confusing.
wise encouragement and comfort through visiting with a trained spiritual director. Also in an increasingly secularized world, there are many who no longer have a close connection with a priest or pastor. The role as a spiritual director is to provide a safe and confidential presence for those who are in need of a ‘soul friend’ and spiritual conversation. There is an old saying that “anyone without a soul friend is a body without a head” but soul friends may not always fit into your social circle or facebook friends. A spiritual director has been trained through theological disciplines to take one deeper in their journey with God. “Several years ago I went to a local spiritual director as I was beginning my own deeper journey with God. During that time, Sister Del Ray was an inspiration to me as she had been to others. She inspired some to begin spiritual direction training at the Benedictine Peace Center at Sacred Heart Convent in Yankton. When Sister Del Ray passed away, it left a spiritual direction void in our community. Dr. Susan Reese and a few others at Sioux Falls Seminary took on the challenge to create a program for individuals to train and become
certified locally. Since I graduated, several spiritual direction groups have formed which include classmates from the seminary program. We actively meet at least once a month, as we continue to stay connected for support and spiritual guidance for one another. Most of us are reaching out into the community in search of people in need of a deeper relationship with God,” Ellen said recently. “As a mental health counselor in private practice, I have always focused on the mind, body, spirit concept for healing. When I was informed by my husband, Rev. Dennis Thum (Campus Pastor at University of Sioux Falls) that this program was going to be offered, I jumped at the opportunity. It was an incredible experience! For those searching for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God, I encourage them to seek out a spiritual director to fulfill that need,” she added. Ellen’s practice in Sioux Falls is as a Licensed Professional Counselor with mental health credentials. As a newly certified spiritual director she is available to see anyone interested in spiritual direction. Ellen can be reached at (605) 361-4403.

Four Alternative Treatments Our Doctors Love ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE

onitoring and managing your orthopedic health can sometimes make you feel helpless. After all, once you leave the doctor’s office, what can you do for yourself? As it turns out, there are a variety of alternative treatments you can try out at home (or right here in our offices on your next visit) that may give you a more natural boost to your overall - and orthopedic - health.
Acupuncture One such alternative treatment the doctors at Orthopedic Institute are big-time believers in is acupuncture. We’re so on board with it as a pain-management therapy that our very own Dr. Chang specializes in and administers it at our clinic. The benefits of acupuncture are plentiful, as it stimulates “meridians,” a.k.a. energy pathways that modulate your neurology. It’s proven effective for treatment of illnesses such as restless leg syndrome, nausea and chronic pain or headaches.

Turmeric Originating as a root vegetable, turmeric can be used in a nutritional sense in foods, mostly as seasoning in powdered or ground form. But it turns out it has a great deal of beneficial properties for your overall health, as well. Because of its natural oils, it has a positive effect in fighting inflammation at the joints and can ease the pain surrounding cramping, aches and pains. As far as natural anti-inflammatories go, it’s a top-notch option for those seeking alternative treatments.
Manuka Honey Sourced from the nectar of plants found most commonly in the Southern Hemisphere, Manuka honey is sometimes used in foods but, like turmeric, can have highly positive effects on your wellbeing. Because of higher levels of enzymes than traditional honey, Manuka has a pain-relief factor when it comes to burns, wounds and ulcers, as well as the ability to assist in rebuilding cells and tissue following an infection.

Yoga This is probably one that’s familiar to you already, but yoga continues to be one of the best, easiest ways to ease joint pain and build overall wellness. The practice has been known to limber your body to stave off injury and improve your musculature and balance. And this goes without saying, but it improves your flexibility, something that can make joint pain in your knees, shoulders and the like subside considerably over time. (And best of all, there are ample opportunities to join a local class or learn yoga from a friend or family member.) Try it out.
If you have questions, talk to one of our doctors next time you are in - we’d be happy to walk you through your options when it comes to natural, alternative options for easing chronic pain, soreness and injury.

The breathtaking forest of the nearby La Sal Mountains make for plenty of opportunities to explore. Hundreds of sandstone landscapes surround Moab, such as Canyonlands National Park and the red rock wonders of Arches National Park, making it a nucleus to various types of outdoor enthusiasts. Main Street in Moab is lined with unique souvenir and specialty shops, Native American art galleries, and other excellent shopping opportunities within walking distance of the Moab Adventure Center, where you can find just about anything you are looking for. With the plethora of attractions and activities Moab has to offer, this visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center is your place to find the things that are available for you to enjoy. They have gathered information on over 30 of the best trips in Southern Utah, including day trips involving river rafting, mountain biking, zip line fun, climbing, hot air ballooning, scenic flights, and more. 3-5 day river trips through Cataract Canyon, Westwater Canyon, and Green River are all-inclusive, and there are many great lodging options to be found here, too. The continuous big-screen videos and special pricing make the Moab Adventure Center well worth the trip. The Museum of Moab features exhibits on the history of the area, including ancient Native American displays of blankets, pottery, and more. Also shown are displays of early Spanish expeditions, regional dinosaur finds, and settler-era antiques. Moab offers several options for scenic drives, whether you decide to explore the La Sal Mountains, view the Arches National Park, or experience the redrock backcountry by jeep.

Scenic Byway is where Highway 128 intersects US Highway 191 3 miles south of the Arches. It goes from redrock desert to alpine overlooks, and is 60 miles on Scenic Byway 128 and La Sal Mountain Loop. It includes an unforgettable drive through the river corridor, where 2,000 foot red rock towering cliffs enclose the Colorado River, and you can stop for a picnic at one of the glittering lakes within the La Sal Mountains. The river corridor is home to orchards, a winery, and some gorgeous lodging options. There is also an amazing view of world-class climbing destination, Fisher Towers. You can go on a Moab Hummer Safari and access the back country in style with professional guides. Tours include sunset trips, 2-hour day rides, and a “Star Safari”. The La Sal Mountains are along the eastern Utah border and just a 30 minute drive southeast of Moab. They rise 12,721 feet above sea level and are quite a sight to see.

Fiery Furnace Hike. The guide will take you through towers, spires, and arches during this five-hour adventure. You can also see the park during sunset on the Arches Sunset Bus Tour, which lasts four hours. Driving the main road through the park will allow you to see several amazing sights from the comfort of a vehicle. If you decide to hike instead, you can see hundreds of structures up-close. Utah’s largest park, Canyonlands National Park is also a short drive from Moab. Sitting in a large basin bordered by cliffs made of Wingate Sandstone, is divided by the Colorado and Green rivers into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. There are scenic flights offered that allow you to fly over Dead Horse Point, the Confluence, Angel Arch, and all three districts of Canyonlands National Park in just one hour. Discover areas of the park accessible only by water with a whitewater rafting experience on the Cataract Canyon Trip on the Colorado River. There are also several hiking trails available for beginners to the advanced. About 30 miles from Moab is Dead Horse Point State Park. The mesa referred to as “Dead Horse Point” towers 2,000 feet directly above the Colorado River and provides spectacular views of the pinnacles of Canyonlands National Park. As the story goes, cowboys used to drive wild horses onto the point and keep them there with a fence made of brush. Walk the 4-mile rim trail loop, and explore the park’s Intrepid Trail System for some unique hiking and biking adventures on a nice day. The best place in the Moab area for bird-watching is the 894-acre oasis, Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve, which is owned and operated by the Nature Conservancy. Home to more than 200 species, it’s a great place to spot animals such as the cinnamon teal, the northern flicker, beavers and muskrats. Choose your own adventure in Moab, Utah!

Daddy’s Footsteps
Daddy’s Footsteps (Author Unknown)
Instructions: You will need a piece of colored paper that is large enough to fit daddy’s shoe print. Cover the bottom of his shoe with paint, then carefully press it down on the piece of paper. Let the paint dry before painting the bottom of your child’s feet with a different color of paint and placing his footprints next to the shoe print. Once all of the paint is dry, write the following poem somewhere on the paper.
“Walk a little slower, Daddy”, Said a little child so small. “I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast Sometimes they’re hard to see; so walk a little slower, Daddy. For you are leading me. Someday when I’m all grown up, you’re what I want to be. Then I will have a little child Who’ll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right and know that I was true. So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you.”
Materials Needed: colored paper, two different colors of paint, daddy’s shoe, and a black marker.

Paint your child’s hand and carefully place it down so that it is on top of the back of the dinosaur. Repeat this step so that it looks like the handprints are part of the dinosaur’s scaly back.

“Doing activities with family and friends can help maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
S
ummer is coming. Now is a perfect time to recharge the batteries, discover fresh fruits and vegetables, get active outdoors and find new ways to be fit. Being fit is about making healthy choices every day. It’s about having the right mindset and enough energy to be able to choose healthy foods and be active. Use some of these tips and tools to make this summer fit and fabulous.
children need 9-11 hours, teens need 8-10 hours and adults need 7-9 hours each night. Maintaining a consistent bedtime routine can help ensure your family has a restful night’s sleep.
Recharge Your Energy
• DO: Darkness, comfortable temperatures and calming colors aid sleep. Check the sleep environment in your home. • DON’T: Television, computer and phone screens interfere with sleep and should be shut off at least one hour before sleep. • TRY: Develop a bedtime routine and better sleep habits.
Maintaining adequate energy levels is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. When our energy is low, our ability to be physically active, our food and drink choices, and even our emotions and attitude are affected. Adequate sleep is a must for recharging your daily energy. Infants and toddlers need 11-15 hours of sleep, school-aged
Refreshing your energy during the day is also important. Quiet activities, such as drawing, reading a book or stretching, help reduce stress and recharge your batteries. Relaxing for even 10-15 minutes is a healthier way of boosting your energy than reaching for an energy drink.

Move Your Body
Motivate Your Mood
Get outside this summer for walks, bike rides, games and more. Quick activity added into your day can enhance physical fitness and mental alertness.
The nice summer weather helps our attitudes and emotions improve, but keeping motivated to make healthy choices is still necessary. Here are a few helpful ways to stay motivated: • Do it together: Doing activities with family and friends can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. • Set a goal: Set individual or family goals to be active or try new healthy foods. • Make it fun: Doing activities we enjoy helps motivate us to keep doing them, so make your activities fun. With the Sanford Health Move2Draw app, you can create your masterpiece by walking, running or riding your bike! Download the app, determine the design you want to draw, choose your favorite colors, then get moving to draw your pictures. After, you can share your art with friends, family and social media. Challenge your friends and family members to create their own. Get outside, create and have fun.
Think Your Food Choose fresh and healthy snacks while you’re on the go this summer! Take advantage of produce that is in season. Pick your family’s favorite fruits and veggies at the local grocer; make it a rainbow of color. Convenience is a big part of choosing snacks, so prepare ahead of time! Wash, chop and store fruits and veggies in grab-and-go containers so there’s no excuse. Try something new each week. Think your drinks and watch that sugar! It’s easy to grab a sport drinks or soda, but do your best to choose water or milk instead. Try making your own fizzy fruit drinks when you’re craving something fun.

A Song About Myself by John Keats He was a naughty boy, A naughty boy was he, He would not stop at home, He could not quiet be. English poet John Keats is remembered for his great odes and sonnets — making this lighthearted, little-known poem a special treat. As written in a letter to his young sister when he was feeling homesick on a visit to Scotland, Keats runs his rhymes up and down and all around, leading the reader on a playful chase in and out of language and meaning while caricaturing both himself and what it means to be an aspiring poet. In perfect synchrony, the celebrated Chris Raschka illustrates Keats’s droll words with his signature vibrant, energetic watercolors. Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka brings John Keats’s words to whimsical life in the poet’s only work written for children. Ages 6 yrs - 9 yrs Candlewickpress.com
Annie and Simon: Banana Muffins and Other Stories by Catharine O’Neill Little sister Annie and big brother Simon are (mostly) good friends, but even friends disagree sometimes. Annie is pretty convinced that their bananamuffin batter is lacking a certain crucial chocolatey ingredient, but all Simon can do is grumble about following the recipe. And when Annie unearths some precious items from her babyhood, Simon tells her she’s way too old to walk around with a pacifier in her mouth. But when baby Theo from next door loses his favorite toy, Annie, Simon, and even Hazel the dog prove once again that this little sister and big, big brother make a (mostly) terrific team. Returning for a third warm and wryly funny early chapter book, Annie and Simon are a testament to the fact that there isn’t just one formula for the perfect family.

Things to Do with Dad by Sam Zuppardi A morning of fun with Dad takes a turn for the boring when a long to-do list interferes.

Hattie & Hudson by Chris Van Dusen Hattie McFadden is a born explorer. Every morning she grabs her life jacket and paddles out in her canoe to discover something new on the lake, singing a little song on her way. When her singing draws up from the depths a huge mysterious beast, everyone in town is terrified — except Hattie, who looks into the creature’s friendly, curious eyes and knows that this is no monster. So Hattie sneaks out at night to see the giant — whom she names Hudson — and the two become friends. But how can she make the frightened, hostile townspeople see that Hudson isn’t scary or dangerous at all? Chris Van Dusen brings his colorful, perspective-bending artwork to this satisfying new story about acceptance, friendship, and sticking up for those who are different.

Importance of Stool Sample Screening in your pet • Some parasites can be transmitted to humans causing eye problems, brain problems, and intestinal problems • It has been estimated that 14% of people in the US are infected with roundworm larvae. • Nearly 75% of pediatricians in the US report cases of parasitic infections in children each year. • Intestinal worms can produce more than 100,000 eggs per day which are then shed in the feces, feces that hangout in your yard! • 15% of potting soils were found to carry roundworm eggs
What can you do to prevent parasites? • Have a Stool sample screen done at least once a year, by your veterinarian • Administer deworming medications as recommended by your veterinarian • Scoop the litterbox daily • Clean up pet feces regularly • Only feed pets cooked or prepared foods • Practice good personal hygiene
