Sketch Crawl 2017
August 19
S
outh Dakota Artists Alliance (SDAA) will be hosting their 2nd annual Sketch Crawl in downtown Sioux Falls, August 19 from 10am - 5pm. Artists will be out and about sketching/painting in five different location throughout downtown. SDAA hosts a number of events each year to bring the artists and the public together. The sketch crawl was started to help fulfill their mission “a partnership of artists working together to inspire and nurture the creative spirit through education, community involvement and celebration of the arts”. This event encourages public involvement to make it successful. The Sketch Crawl starts by giving each registered artist a specially-designed sketch book which contains a map of locations, 5 5x7 sheets of stamped art paper and away they go. The time is what makes this event a challenge, as the artists will only have 5 hours allowing for 45 to 50 minutes per location. So the artist needs to be strategic as to the order they will sketch to allow more time at each location and less time trying to get there. They will paint/sketch the 5 different locations from 10am - 3pm. The public is encouraged to watch them as they work!

CONCIERGE
“The Only Thing Constant is Change.” These were the words of an ancient philosopher, but one local business owner would probably agree that they still hold true today. Jody Kusek opened Forget Me Not as a gift shop back in 2008 at the (then) newlydeveloped Bridges at 57th. Not long after, she moved the store to a corner spot which had more room for her to add home décor to her gift items. That venture gave birth to Eddy Joy Baby Boutique in 2012, which opened just a couple of doors down from Forget Me Not. And then, she opened a second Forget Me Not shop in a retail strip mall in Harrisburg last year to expand on the home décor offerings and also add a clothing line. June 1 brought another big change for Kusek, thanks to the ever-evolving world of business and shifts within the retail spaces at The Bridges. The opportunity arose to put all of her stores under one roof. She jumped at the chance, closing the Harrisburg store and relocating everything into a larger space at The Bridges. The new store is everything customers loved about The Forget Me Not and Eddy Joy brands under one roof and covering 7,000 square feet. Each storefront has its own entrance, but shoppers can move between the two on the inside, which has increased exposure for both stores.” Many customers didn’t realize we were part of the same retail family,” says store manager Deb Teunissen. “And even our long-time Forget Me Not customers are discovering new things like our clothing line, which had largely been located at the Harrisburg store. Now, we have everything right here in one spot, and customers are really enjoying it.” The expanded space provides the opportunity to showcase their home décor, gifts and clothing together in unique ways. For example, one vignette in the store presents shades of grey with a chair, throw pillows, artwork and a stylish jacket. The Forget Me Not side still carries a wide array of items, from florals, furniture and frames to cards, clocks and candles. Tucked

into the displays here and there are unique things like interchangeable serving pieces from Nora Fleming. Instead of having a closet filled with seasonal plates and bowls, you can get just a few neutral-colored serving plates, bowls, napkin holders or even a Kleenex holder with small holes to hold little “mini’s” that look like bottle toppers. They come in holiday shapes like a shamrock or Christmas tree, as well as ladybugs, cowboy hats, golf balls and more. Simply take one mini out and pop in another when you want to change the look. There are whimsical items for gifts or for your home, like state-themed dish towels or a throw pillow covered with colorful zebras. And, you can still get delicious treats like Annie B’s caramels, frozen drink mixes and flavor seasonings for pretzels or crackers. When it comes to apparel, there is still plenty of time left in August and September for ankle pants and sleeveless tops, as well as lightweight layers for cooler evenings. The store has a wide variety of accessories to complete your outfit, from jewelry to ingenious products like the Sleek Belt with a smooth fastener that eliminates “buckle bulge” (ladies, you know what I mean!). Moving over to the Eddy Joy side, you are immediately greeted with shelves of cuddly animals and racks of adorable baby and toddler clothing that just make you say, “Awwww.” They carry the latest little fashions in sizes newborn to 4T, with sleepwear, onesies, active wear and “dress up” clothes including newborn pettiskirts for your little princess, a stylish fedora for your little man, and “Babiators” – yes, that means baby aviator sunglasses! There are things especially for the mommy-to-be, from pregnancy calendars and books to maternity compression socks and body care products. For parents on the go, you can find shopping cart or high chair covers, reusable snack bags and handy containers for formula, baby food and snacks. Looking for a newborn gift? You might like the baby footprint stamp kit, activity books for little hands, cozy blankets and special gifts for the little one’s baptism. And, to make it convenient for you, Eddy Joy also offers a selection of gift bags and cards. Store hours are the same for both stores: MondayFriday 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am - 5pm and closed on Sundays. Forget Me Not Boutique and Eddy Joy Baby Boutique are in The Bridges at 57th, below Scooter’s Coffeehouse.

Happy Birthday to a Grand Old Lady
And a Wish for Many More Birthdays to Come BY RON ROBINSON
G
rinde School, the pioneer one-room schoolhouse that was the first of the collection of historically significant buildings on the “north forty” of the Sioux Empire fairgrounds, attains its 130th birthday this year. However, its caretakers are concerned that water damage may prevent the flagship of the Pioneer Lane flotilla from celebrating in the future. Those who attend this year’s fair, scheduled for Aug. 4-11, will get a chance to see for themselves the school, hailed upon its opening near Colton in 1867 as the largest and best equipped in Minnehaha County, then a part of Dakota Territory. The venerable wood-frame structure went up just in time to weather the great blizzard of 1888, dubbed the “Children’s Blizzard,” because of the number of school-age boys and girls trapped by the sudden onslaught of snow and cold, and it went on to stand through untold thunder and windstorms. Nowadays, however, the slow dripdrip of time threatens to undermine the building. Since, like other buildings on Pioneer Lane, it was not furnished with gutters and downspouts, the rain, hail, sleet, and snow simply slide down the shingles and the siding, often gathering on windowframes and sills, prying off paint and threatening rot. The directors of the

HISTORY
Minnehaha Century Fund, who inherited the care and upkeep of the buildings in 2011, now face the typical problem of those who deal with preservation and restoration: How to preserve the historical integrity of the structures while at the same time making them safe and accessible to later generations. The problem is a crucial one, since the buildings stand as reminders of a more rugged era when settlers from northern Europe and Scandinavia flocked to the new land to establish a new way of life. In its day, the rural school served many functions. Besides teaching immigrant children the language of the adopted country and giving them an education that at that time was believed to be as much as they would want or need, the school, like the church, was a social center. Debating and literary societies, spelling bees, basket socials, nights filled with singing, recitations, and discussion met the needs of adults as well as children. The school terms were flexible, set to fit the needs of an agricultural community in which able-bodied children were needed as farm hands. At first there was only one term during the winter, lasting four months. By 1901, fall and winter terms were the norm, and terms together were extended to last six and finally nine months. By the middle of the 20th Century, the schools had largely served their purpose and were more and more being replaced by larger brick and mortar town schools in
As the school appeared in place, east of Colton.
For several years thereafter, the school was the center of celebration on the fairgrounds, with such events as classes, basket socials, and square dancing.
consolidated districts. Lenore Foster, then county superintendent of schools, became concerned that the role of rural schools might be forgotten and conceived the idea of moving the Grinde School to the fairgrounds. Educators Howard and Eunice Hovland of the newly-formed Restoration Society were instrumental in arranging the move. The Grinde school thus became the first of the buildings on what was to become Pioneer Lane, north of the fair offices. It was dedicated in 1968. For decades the society, consisting largely of former teachers, oversaw the upkeep and display of the buildings. Even today, the retired teachers of Minnehaha County offer the largest contingent of docents during fair week. By the 21st Century, membership in the Restoration Society had dwindled, and in 2011 care of the buildings was handed over to the Minnehaha Century Fund, an organization formed following the celebration of the South Dakota Centennial and devoted to the preservation of historic buildings and sites and the education of the public about local and regional history. Between 2012 and 2016, grants and gifts from such organizations as the Mary Chilton DAR Foundation and the Minnehaha County Historical Society, allowed the organization to build new, safer entryways for all buildings, a freight platform for the Rutland Depot, historically-accurate doors for the Fersdahl cabin, new roofing for both the Good Samaritan church and the depot, a new ceiling and interior paint for the church, and new paint for the depot. Nyberg’s Ace made possible a gazebo-type bandstand.
Grinde School had a leak near the chimney repaired and was replastered and painted inside. In all cases, the historic ambiance was kept intact. All the buildings face the same problem of exterior water damage, however, and most buildings in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries were not furnished with gutters. Gutters were available, however. Not the metal or plastic covered gutters of today, but simple and elegant troughs made of wood. The caretakers have decided that it is those that must be used to help preserve the buildings. As might be imagined, the cost attaining and installing such gutters far exceeds what present-day counterparts would demand. The final tab will reach the tens of thousands of dollars. In order to cover the cost of these projects, the caretakers have launched a fund drive, whimsically dubbed “Keep Your Powder Dry,” to allow those interested in historic preservation to contribute. Those who wish to do their part may leave donations in the boxes at the fair, contact Minnehaha Century Fund@pioneerlane22, or mail contributions to the MCF Treasurer, Jeanne Pattison, at Minnehaha Century Fund, 200 W. 6th St., Sioux Falls SD 57104. Ron Robinson has been a member of the Minnehaha Century Fund since 2005. He now serves as one of the directors.

THE
Charlotte & Mike McGrath HOME

AT HOME
“I
’m a collector.” That’s the honest confession from Charlotte McGrath when asked about the eclectic décor of the house where she and her husband Mike have lived for the past ten years. However, the “collecting” didn’t just start with this house. She says it all began for her when she was a child going to garage sales. Over the years, just about any type of sale, auction or antique shop was an opportunity to stumble across another “find.” Fortunately, there is plenty of space here for all of those treasures gathered over the years. She and Mike picked the house because they loved the yard and, even more, felt right at home in the neighborhood. Entertaining was something they have always loved to do, and cooking is another passion of Charlotte’s. They had lived with a small kitchen for years and decided it was time for a change. So, last year, they started a kitchen expansion project utilizing space formerly occupied by a sun room. They enlisted the help of designer Lindsay Chicoine of Chicoine Interiors, and soon were working not only on the kitchen project, but also some updating in other areas of the house. They began by pulling out the carpeting in the living room and kitchen and adding wood flooring. The new kitchen space was redone farmhouse-chic style with offwhite cabinets. An oversized island houses the cooktop as well as ample storage – including an enviable large drawer that Charlotte says is great for just “tossing all the Tupperware into.” The wood top of the island was made from wine barrels, and you can see the various barrel markings across the counter. With large windows looking out on the beautiful backyard, she didn’t want to obstruct the view with hanging light fixtures. Since she loves lamps, a pair of lamps placed on opposite ends of the

island add additional lighting to the space. To achieve a clean look, the McGraths took advantage of design techniques to maximize space and minimize the “appearance” of appliances. An oven was built into the wall, with easy access from a door that opens like a cabinet door rather than a traditional “pull-down” oven door, and below that is a separate microwave/ convection oven. And, the refrigerator is neatly housed behind cabinet doors. Other unique finds in the kitchen are an old chicken incubator

that serves as a side table at one end of the island. Above the entrance hangs an old wood sign that reads, “Subsistence Warehouse.” Charlotte says she bought that sign because it reminded her of her dad and his military background. The original kitchen space is a little galley area that provides additional counter and storage space. Built-in floor-to-ceiling shelves hold a diverse sampling of Charlotte’s collectibles. “Everything I have has a story,” she says.

For example, a glass canister and salt and pepper shaker in shades of pink, blue and green came from her grandmother. That green became the inspiration for the rustic green accent wall in the kitchen. The shelves also hold items like a pitcher and glass set made especially for tomato juice, Ben Franklin price signs and tins from the old Jewett Drug Company in Aberdeen. Down a step from the kitchen is the living room, which in contrast to the rustic brightness of the kitchen, was redone in deep jewel tones and leather furniture. The fireplace was built with traditional red brick, so they freshened up the look with Lindsay’s help using a quick coat of watered-down white paint. There are nods to South Dakota in the room, with a barrel filled with sunflowers, a buffalo and a beautiful print of a motorcycle with the color stratified Badlands in the background. The motorcycle is a nod to one of Mike’s passions. The print arrived after the living room “re-do” was finished, but there was still an unfilled space on the wall. Charlotte was gone, so her mom and Lindsay decided it would work in that space. They were right. On the landing just around the corner from the front door, they hung an old shoemaker’s rack on the wall and filled it with a collection of ice buckets that Charlotte has gathered from many different places over the years – metal, glass, crystal – in all shapes and sizes.

When asked about her work in helping with the remodeling and rearranging, Lindsay says that she was able to find everything she needed in a great antique store…and that “store” was the McGrath basement and other rooms in the house. Laughing, Charlotte agrees that there was “a lot” for Lindsay to choose from and so much more that could have been placed on shelves and tables and corners here and there. “Lindsay helped me edit,” says Charlotte. A free-standing room divider screen separates the dining room from a sitting area at the front of the house. Charlotte says the screen is there because the dining room also occasionally doubles as a poker room for Mike, so then they can have their own space. The conversation piece in the entryway is an old metal sign that says, “Chamber Meeting Here,” that would have been put out on a sidewalk in front of a business or bank or café – wherever a local Chamber of Commerce group might have been meeting. It was one of those things that Charlotte says was just too cool not to get, but she was never quite sure what to do with it. It fits perfectly where it is. There are two comfortable guest rooms upstairs that have housed guests for as short as an overnight to as long

as several weeks. One is traditional with classic wallpaper design of stripes above a chair rail and diamonds below, with a bed that had belonged to Charlotte’s mom when she was a child. The other room, Charlotte says, is the preferred room of guests due to its size, and it is fitted with antique finds like an old dressing table and a pitcher and basin. The laundry room is also upstairs and has two walls filled with old aprons that hold clothespins and a variety of old hangers. Cupboards hold neatly folded stacks of old linens. The master bedroom is spacious enough for a roomy four-poster bed, but as commanding as the furniture pieces are, the real focal point is the large framed photograph of Charlotte on the day she married Mike….in Africa. “We love to travel, and we knew we wanted to do something different.” The picture shows local villagers helping Charlotte get ready by fastening around her neck a beautiful hand-beaded ceremonial necklace – a necklace she never saw until the day of the wedding and which now is framed separately next to the photograph. Their room has windows that overlook the backyard, which is filled with plants and raised garden beds. They jazzed up an old shed to look like a tiny house, with windows that came from the farm of Charlotte’s aunt and uncle and left part of an old play structure next to it to add to its charm. Everything in the McGrath home certainly does tell a story, and what a wonderful way for Charlotte and Mike (and their friendly dog Chauncey) to live - surrounded by history, humor and reminders of friends and loved ones.

The Black Rooster BY RICCARDO TARABELSI
N
o, don’t worry; you’re not in the wrong section. This is a wine article, I promise, not a riveting dissertation on melaninrich fowl. Growing up in Florence, Italy, I had the privilege of sipping local wines at a young age. Luckily for me, the local wine of Florence is Chianti! It’s still one of my favorite wines to drink to this day, especially on a warm August night with some penne and homemade marinara sauce. When it comes to picking out a good bottle of Chianti, here’s the golden rule: pick one with the black rooster on it! I started doing a little more research on the origins of this peculiar symbol that appears on some of the best bottles that Tuscany has to offer. The original Chianti was defined in 1716 by the Medici family and included the area around Gaiole, Greve, Radda and Castellina. The borders were extended and redrawn in 1932 to stretch to the north of Florence, south to Castelnuovo Berardenga, west to Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, and east to the Chianti Mountains.

There are now 8 sub-zones: Classico, Colli Aretini, Colli Fiorentino, Colline Pisano, Colli Senesi, Montalbano, Montespertoli, and Rufina. But here is the interesting story that I am constantly in search of: the legend of the rooster! Gallo Nero, meaning the black rooster, is the symbol for the region’s Chianti Classico producers association, and you will find it on the necks of the bottles from this region. Its origins (keep in mind the story comes from an old man from Siena) began in the 12th century when Florence and its rival Siena were continually warring over the rich territories between the two cities. Legend has it that they would resolve this quarrel with a race involving two knights, one from each city. The rules were agreed upon... the two knights would start the race when the cock crows. The point where the knights meet would be the new border. This is where it gets interesting... allegedly the Florentines had a black rooster which they kept unfed for days, so by the morning

of the race, it crowed well before dawn. Thus, the Florentines had an advantage because their knight left first and rode many miles deeper into rival territory, reaching Fonterutoli, a territory of Castellina. So the border was established in Castellina, close to Siena, in a place they named Croce Fiorentina. The only thing I like better than a good bottle of wine is a good story that goes with it! Next time you’re at your local wine store, be sure to peruse the Chianti section. Check the neck of the bottle for the infamous black rooster, a sure sign that you are getting an original Chianti.

Molly Windschill Guest Speaker After experiencing an early miscarriage, followed by the stillbirth of their daughter Josie at 38 weeks, Molly began writing as a form of therapy. The result was a book, Joy for Josie: A Mother’s Journey through Grief, Healing, and Hope after Loss. Through writing, Molly forced herself to dig deeper and release the feelings that had been overwhelming her heart in the months since Josie’s birth. Over time, she has tried to calm the desires of her empty arms and trust that God has a plan. While we don’t always understand, we have to believe that God can have a purpose through any pain that we face. Through sharing her story, Molly honors Josie’s life, and helps others to understand the pain that a grieving parent faces every day…there is Hope.

When Erin Sanford was pregnant with her twin daughters, Grace and Bethany, she was forced to ask herself, “Where is Jesus when it hurts?” Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you go through deep waters, I will be there”. Erin will share about the loss of her twins and her journey through overwhelming grief. She will share her personal testimony of Jesus’ faithfulness through tragedy and life’s unwelcomed twists.

or a long stretch of time, I didn’t eat pork ribs. As a kid I used to love the ribs my Grandpa George would cook; smoky and meaty; they were his specialty. But sometime in my early twenties, I had some ribs that just weren’t very good. I don’t recall where it was, probably a restaurant that claimed to make the best anywhere. Wherever it was, it set my mind to the idea that ribs were tough, gristly and hard to eat. What little meat that could be extracted was over-cooked and slathered in a sticky sauce that was not at all appealing. The idea of gnawing away at bones with little reward had no appeal to me, so I just didn’t eat ribs for a long time. Then a business trip took me to Memphis to record a bunch of jingles for a bread company. The trip was several days long and I had time to do some touristy things like visiting Graceland. Each night my host took me out to dinner. One evening we went to the legendary Charlie Vergos Rendezvous, a barbeque joint known around the world for its ribs. They call them “Memphis style” which means they are a dry-rubbed rib that is basted with a vinegar-based sauce. This single meal changed my idea of what ribs could be. These were meaty, spicy, salty, tangy and not drenched in sticky sauce. I started ordering ribs at restaurants, but the results were hit and miss. Occasionally I found something that resembled the Rendezvous or even some slathered in a sauce that was actually good. I also found many that were over-cooked or under-cooked or nearly meatless. That inconsistency made me believe that ribs

How you rub your meat is your business!
must be extremely hard to cook otherwise more places would get them right. Then a few years ago when Look’s Market offered a class on smoking ribs, I signed up. I learned a few tricks and tips and realized that cooking ribs at home is something just about anyone can do and have success. I’ve taken what I learned from Look’s, plus a few books and internet tutorials, and now I regularly turn out some respectable barbeque, right in my backyard. I use a Big Green Egg, but you can use whatever grill or smoker you have. Just do a little research online to find recommendations for your particular device. The first thing I do (and a trick I learned from Look’s) is coat the ribs in inexpensive yellow mustard. The mustard adds just a little hint of vinegar, but the biggest thing it does is give the rub or seasoning something to stick to. Next add the rub. You can make your own or buy one of the many pre-packaged flavors available. Some are sweeter, some hotter, some simple, some pretty complex. I use a combination of two. One is traditional Kansas City style – sweet and spicy; the other adds a little smoky kick. The word “rub” can be a little misleading; rub is just the seasoning. While some people actually rub it on, I sprinkle it on liberally and then press it in gently; not a lot of rubbing involved but how you rub your meat is your business. I like to put the rub on the ribs several hours before I start to cook them. This lets the flavor soak in and the salt in the rub brings some of the moisture out of the meat, so it creates a nice crust known as bark on the outside. When you fire up the grill, it’s different from cooking steaks or burgers. You don’t want to cook ribs quickly. This is barbeque; that means low and slow. I shoot for a grill temperature of about 250 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. The amount and kind of smoke you use is up to you. Texas style ribs usually call for mesquite wood, which I find a little aggressive. I like oak and fruit hardwoods like cherry. Since I use the same grill for smoking that I use for steaks and
pork chops, there is not room for a bunch of ribs laid flat, so I put them in a rack that holds the bones upright. Once the ribs are nestled in for a smoky nap, you can sit back and relax while you keep an eye on the smoker. This is important: make sure your spouse understands that you need to monitor the situation. You may have time to go inside to refresh your cocktail, to use the facilities or to show off your barbequing prowess to the neighbors, but you cannot be distracted by things like mowing the lawn, trimming the hedge or anything that resembles manual labor. No, you really need to sit in a lawn chair in a shady spot not too far from the grill, and make sure you’ve got provisions; you’ll be here for a while. I’ve found that after about two and a half to three hours, I need to wrap the ribs in foil to keep things from getting too crispy. Then the wrapped racks continue their nap for another hour or so. When the bones have started to loosen but not fall out of the meat, you’re done. If it’s just my beloved and I, I like to cut the ribs into individual bones so it’s a little easier to eat. If we’re serving a bunch of friends, I will cut each rack into four chunks and let everyone grab what they want. Now that I’ve gotten past my fear of ribs, I’ll throw anywhere from 3 to 6 racks on the Big Green Egg several times a year. Once they’re cooked, I’ll seal leftover racks in Foodsaver bags. They’ll hold up for a week or so in the fridge and longer in the freezer. To reheat, I wrap them in foil and put them in the oven or back on the grill for 20 to 30 minutes and they are just as good as the first day. It makes a quick weeknight meal that tastes like I’ve been cooking for hours. The memories of Grandpa George’s ribs are just a bonus. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

hile sunglasses are usually selected as fashion accessories, the protection they provide your eyes should be the main driver behind your choice. Avera Medical Eye Group Optometrist Paul Draayer, OD, said if you’re among the 46 percent of American who do not wear this important level of protection, you should reconsider. “Everyone should be wearing this specific type of eyewear, and I would say to all of the people who think sunglasses are only for fashion purposes, remember the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause several eye problems,” he said. “Those problems may not manifest overnight or even in the near future, but UV damage is cumulative and irreversible, so start protecting your eyes today.” Some of the eye problems people might develop from long-term UV exposure include cataract formation, macular degeneration and cancerous growths on both the eye and eyelid. UV rays also can cause growths on the clear covering over the white portion of your eye that’s known as pinguecula. It looks like a yellow spot or bump on your eyes. The rays also can lead to pterygium, a fleshy growth that may start as pinguecula. “One of the more immediate effects of UV exposure is
photokeratitis, or basically sunburn of the eyes,” Draayer said. “It usually presents a few hours after exposure with symptoms of irritation, pain and a gritty feeling. It can become a serious situation and sunglasses can help prevent it and the other issues that come with UV rays.” If you’re a “cap or hat” person and think that’s enough, think again. Wearing a cap/hat can provide a decent amount of protection for the eyes from the sun, but reflected light will still reach your peepers. “When UV rays are coming off of water, snow or concrete, they can still find a way into the eyes, thus, it is always recommended to wear sunglasses along with a hat whenever possible,” said Draayer. “It is important to protect your eyes from the sun at any age, but especially when we are younger. UV damage is cumulative, and obviously we are more likely to get longer sun exposure when we are young. Finding a pair of good sunglasses for your children is exceedingly important.” So now that you’re going to seek out sunglasses for you and your children, the choices should be wise ones. When purchasing them, look for labels that say “Blocks 99 (or 100 percent) of all UV light” but be careful not to be tricked by dark sunglasses.

“Many people think the darker the sunglasses, the better, but while darker lenses may prevent more light from entering your eye, they do not necessarily block UV rays any better than the lighter sunglasses,” Draayer said. “Look for that level of UV protection more than the shade of the lens.” He added that while some contact lenses have built-in UV protection, that’s not a universal feature in contacts. “Ask your eye doctor if your contact lenses offer this protection, and even if they do, wearing sunglasses over your contacts will provide added protection to your eyes,” he said. “Sunglasses also will extend coverage to the eyelids and surrounding areas.” Draayer reminded individuals with dark skin that while it’s
58 mind-body-spirit |

true you have a lower risk of skin cancer from UV damage, that doesn’t apply to your eyes; UV damage occurs in the same fashion for darker-skinned and lighter-skinned and affects both genders about the same. “If you have any of the symptoms I mentioned, or you notice cream-colored growth on white part of eye, changes to color vision, night vision, or overall vision, consult your eye doctor,” he said. “Discolorations or bumps on eyelids and even sometimes on the eye can be early warning signs of a more serious issue that could affect your vision. If you discover them, get help so the problem can be addressed. And wear your sunglasses! They’ll help protect your eyes.”

otal hip, knee or shoulder replacement surgeries have traditionally been performed in an inpatient surgical unit. Patients usually stay in the hospital for several days after the procedure and then receive skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or home care, but all of that is changing, according to Sioux Falls Orthopedic Surgeon, Corey Rothrock, who has been with Orthopedic Institute since 2010.

replacements are on the rise, according to Sg2, a company that monitors health care trends, insights and market analytics. From 2012 to 2015, there was a 47 percent increase in elective outpatient hip and knee replacement procedures. Doctors and patients generally thought that the pain, mobility, and infection risks associated with total joint replacements necessitated a days-long hospital stay,
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
but increasingly, outpatient total joint replacements are becoming feasible due to advances in anesthesia, pain control, and surgical techniques. Pain management and anesthesia advancement has played a big role in transitioning total joints to the outpatient setting. According to an article by Jack M. Bert, MD, of Minnesota Bone & Joint Specialists, adductor canal blocks are the
elective outpatient hip and knee replacement procedures.
If you would like to learn more about outpatient total joint replacement surgery and whether or not you would be a good candidate for this, join Dr. Rothrock for a free lunch and have all of your questions answered. Lunches will be held on two different dates:
Wednesday, August 9 and
Wednesday, September 27 Noon – 1:00 PM The Auditorium located on 1st floor of Orthopedic Institute 810 E. 23rd Street, Sioux Falls A light lunch will be served RSVP is requested, but not required. Please call 605-339-6834 or email mwhite@ortho-i.com
anesthesia procedure of choice for total knee arthroplasty. Short acting spinal blocks allow for rapid rehabilitation and a decreased risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The anesthesia techniques can help patients ambulate sooner after surgery and return home the same day. The patient’s postoperative recovery can include oral hydrocodone and intravenous fentanyl “for breakthrough discomfort.”
Dr. Rothrock added that avoiding complications is due to careful patient selection. Specifically, research shows that the strongest candidates for outpatient joint replacement surgery have no or minimal co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or obstructive sleep apnea. They have a lower-range Body Mass Index; and have a caregiver at home to assist with recovery. Even healthy patients
in their 70s or 80s can be candidates for outpatient surgery, but careful patient selection is essential. The advantages of outpatient total joint replacement surgery are many, including a reduced hospital stay, a possible reduced chance for hospital acquired infections, and the possibility of increased patient satisfaction. There is also potential for reduced cost to the health care system.

round. The New Paltz Third Saturday Art Loop and Art Along the Hudson shows work from artists from several different art and culture venues around the area and is a fantastic way to experience the town. Another way to enjoy New Paltz is by sampling the seasonal bounty of its many farms, orchards, and wineries. Celebrate the long agricultural history of this town by going on the Shawangunk Wine Trail, composed of 12 family-owned wineries offering well-crafted reds and whites along with local farm-to-table dining options. All of the wineries are different and each are proud of their wine varieties. Throughout the year, there are special events such as Lobster Fest, strawberry festivals, jazz concerts, and more. The area is known for its local and sustainable way of life, so a visit to one of the farms is a must. Local families have been producing some of the freshest vegetables, fruit, and beef for generations. No matter what your taste or budget, there is always something delicious to indulge in here. Dressel Farms is a fruit farm offering seasonal produce, fresh-pressed apple cider, and more. With the main business being apples, over 400 acres of apple trees including 20 different varieties can be found here. A year-round Roadstead and Pick-Your-Own weekends makes it fun for visitors to enjoy some of the best local produce they have ever had. Another local farm, Jenkins-Lueken Orchards has been in business for over 50 years. Each season brings new produce to the farm, but the orchardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride and joy are their apples and pears. They also offer peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, grapes, and more. The farm stand is filled with home-grown vegetables, and in the winter you can find fresh Christmas trees, holiday wreaths, and warm apple pies. Twin Star Orchards offers a farm stand, wood fire pizza and burgers, and the Brooklyn Cider House tasting room, where you can sample hard cider and purchase from a wide selection of New York wines, spirits, and craft beer. With so many options to choose from, the annual Taste of New Paltz festival is a fantastic opportunity to sample it all.

DIY Binoculars
Materials: 2 toilet paper tubes, 2 pieces of scrapbook paper, scissors, glue, tape, hole puncher, and yarn or string. Instructions: Using your scissors, cut some scrapbook paper to fit the tube. Secure one end of the paper using glue. Continue adding glue and covering the paper around the tube. You can choose to use a glue gun to ensure it stays put for multiple uses, or if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a quick craft for temporary entertainment, just use craft glue. Use glue or tape to secure two tubes together to form a binocular shape. Once dry, use a hole puncher to punch a hole into the side of one tube. Repeat on the other tube, then tie yarn or string that is long enough to go around your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. Your kids can add stickers or whatever else they want to decorate it with, then start using the binoculars to explore and go on hunts for birds, bugs, and more in the backyard.
Light Up Fireflies
Materials: Flameless LED tea light, plastic Easter egg, thumbtack, pipe cleaners, silver duct tape, black marker, and white stickers. Instructions: Poke holes through the smaller half of the egg where the antennas will go, then insert pipe cleaner and curl the ends to make them look like bug antennas. Cut out small circles from white sticker paper, then place them where the eyes will go, just below the antenna. Using black marker, draw on the eyeballs and a smile. Poke three holes on each side of the back end of the plastic egg. This is where the pipe cleaner will go to create three legs on each side. Poke the pipe cleaner through, and bend the bottom of each one out so that the egg can stand on its own. Cut out what looks like some wings from silver duct tape, and tape this to the top of the back end of the plastic egg. Next, insert a flameless LED tea light into the plastic egg, turn it on, and close it up. You now have a glowing firefly!

ith fall on its way, you may be looking forward to your view of beautiful red, orange and gold leaves while on the road. But when those leaves begin to turn, it could also bring something not so pleasant – itchy, puffy, watery eyes and plenty of sneezing. Spring isn’t the only season for allergies, and for many they can be even worse in the fall.
The typical symptoms of allergies are: • Nasal congestion or facial pain and pressure • Runny nose • Itchy, runny, watery eyes • Sneezing • Coughing Seasonal or environmental allergies can affect children and adults. Typically, people with fall seasonal allergies are allergic to ragweed or other types of weeds. Some people have yearround allergies, which are usually caused by dust mites, molds and animals (pets such as cats or dogs). The best way to identify the specific cause of a person’s allergies is through allergy testing either by skin testing or a blood test.

Skin testing is more accurate and often less expensive than blood tests. Allergens are introduced to the skin looking for a positive reaction, which is a small, raised bump over the testing site. There are two types of skin testing: • Prick testing - skin is pricked with a small amount of allergen via a small needle. • Intradermal testing – small amounts of antigen are injected under the skin.
What is the treatment for allergies? The most common and often best treatments for seasonal allergies are nasal steroid sprays and antihistamines. These treatments are available over-the-counter and are relatively Getting kids to put down their electronics inexpensive, especially generic The generic forms of and in play outsideform. is a no-brainer when antihistamines and nasal sprays are just as effective as your steroid backyard contains a slackline! the brand products.

Can my allergies be cured? Most people with allergies typically diagnosed at relatively early age. It is very unlikely to develop allergies after age 40. For people with diagnosed allergies, especially if associated with asthma, immunotherapy is an effective way of treating their symptoms and can often alleviate their symptoms completely. Immunotherapy can be done either through allergy shots or drops placed under the tongue (sublingual therapy). Immunotherapy is often recommended for 3 to 5 years and can provide a person with long-term responses in certain cases. Patients who want further evaluation and treatment for their seasonal allergies, or not sure whether their symptoms are due to allergies, can contact the Sanford Sinus and Allergy Clinic at (605) 3288270 or visit sanfordhealth.org, keyword: Sinus & Allergy

The Treasure Box by Margaret Wild When the enemy bombs the library, everything burns, and only one book survives. As war rages around them, Peter and his father, alongside so many refugees, flee their home, taking with them a treasure box that holds something rarer than rubies and more precious than gold. They journey through mud and rain and long cold nights, and soon survival becomes more important than any possession. But as the years go by, Peter never forgets the treasure box, and one day he returns to find it. This moving story from celebrated author Margaret Wild is illustrated with Freya Blackwood’s subtly affecting artwork, which incorporates pages of children’s books in translation. The result is a haunting and beautiful tale of the power of stories and the resilience of the human spirit. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com
Anywhere Farm by Phyllis Root You might think a farm means fields, tractors, and a barnyard full of animals. But you can plant a farm anywhere you like! A box or a bucket, a boot or a pan — almost anything can be turned into a home for green, growing things. Windows, balconies, and front steps all make wonderful spots to start. Who knows what plants you may choose to grow and who will come to see your new garden? Phyllis Root delivers a modern rhyming mantra for anyone hoping to put their green thumbs to good use, while G. Brian Karas’s cheerful urban illustrations sprout from every page. After all, anywhere can be a farm — all it takes is one small seed and someone to plant it. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

Spencer’s new-school jitters and the turf-claiming kids next door — who have their own reasons for acting out — make this year’s shift from summer into a new school year extra-confusing for Cody — and extra-delightful.
