HOURS: Monday through Thursday 11am - 10pm Friday and Saturday 11am - 11pm Sunday 11am - 9pm 5001 S. Western Avenue (605) 271-7500 www.cabanagrille.net
hen it’s winter in Sioux Falls, you might dream of sitting out in a cabana, on a beach, with an island cocktail. When it’s summer in Sioux Falls, you’re probably anxious to enjoy the precious warmth sitting outside… with an island cocktail. It is that very feeling that Vanguard Hospitality sought to create with its new Turks & Caicos Cabana Grille at The Bridges at 57th, located at the corner of 57th Street and Western Avenue. Vanguard Hospitality is no stranger to the Sioux Falls food scene, as they also own Grille 26, Minerva’s in downtown Sioux Falls and Morrie’s Steakhouse. A surprise phone call one day asking if they were interested in the former Bracco restaurant space put them on a path they hadn’t expected. It didn’t take them long, however, to decide it was the right move for them. Their vision was to create a place where guests could leave the outside world behind and just relax with good food and good company. They thought about places they liked to “get away from it all” and kept coming back to a coastal, island-inspired theme for both the décor and the menu. Turks and Caicos (pronounced KAY-cos) is a British Overseas Territory south of the Bahamas and made up of the larger Caicos islands and the smaller Turks islands. In addition to being known for beautiful weather and Caribbean beaches, Turks and Caicos is also known for producing the best rum in the world, which helped inspire the cocktail menu. The menu takes you on a food journey along the coastal U.S., or across the oceans to Hawaii, Jamaica or Thailand, with dishes like Seared Crab Cakes, Huli Huli Chicken, Jamaican Curried Goat, or Pad Thai. They have “shareables” to enjoy as appetizers or as a way to sample a number of dishes with friends at lunch or dinner – like Kahlua Pork Sliders, Coconut Crusted Chicken Lettuce
etc. for her | August 2018 11
Wraps or Macadamia Crusted Goat Cheese. Wait – let’s not forget the lobster corn dogs! Many of the menu items feature fresh seafood, from crab and shrimp to scallops and Mahi Mahi…and octopus. Their flatbreads are creative and feature Kona beef, jerk chicken or an island combination of cheeses, sweet potato, black beans and cilantro. They also put their own island spin on salads, sandwiches and tacos, and they kick the side dishes up a notch with coconut rice, jicama papaya slaw and sautéed sea beans with seared tomatoes. Drawing from the array of cocktails found in their namesake islands, they created signature drinks like Turks Rum Punch with both dark and silver rum, Aymee’s Greenhouse featuring muddled European cucumber and basil with cucumber gin and elderflower liqueur and the Hellfire Havana Night, combining mescal, muddled jalapeno, passion fruit puree, hellfire habanero bitters and island juices and spices. The ownership group enlisted the help of The Design House in Sioux Falls to bring their vision to life through the restaurant’s décor. The island feel comes through with the contrasting light colors and navy blue, the natural fibers of the chair upholstery and the many island- and shellinspired light fixtures and accessories. It is easy to do just what Vanguard Hospitality hopes… and that is to forget where you are, leave all your cares at the door and just enjoy yourself. Their reimagined space can feel both relaxed and upscale at the same time, and with that flexibility, Turks and Caicos is ready to host any type of meeting, party or other special event. They have a private dining room for about a dozen people with a large television and WiFi access as well as a semi-private room that can accommodate 24 guests. It’s only August, so there is still plenty of time to sit outdoors on their fabulous patio before we have to think about that “colder season.” So, get yourself on island time - that carefree feeling when time slows down and worries are no more – and let the food and conversation engulf you at Turks and Caicos Cabana Grille.

Good Happens When Women Unite 14th Annual WomenUnite Event • Wednesday, August 15 • Ramkota’s Exhibit Hall
G
ood happens when women unite. And that has been true since 2005, with a local event for women that has helped to educate about needs in the Sioux Empire. The WomenUnite Event has featured 11 different non-profit programs that continue to have an impact in Sioux Falls and area communities. Empowerment programs for young girls, a focus on helping families and individuals achieve safe and permanent housing, food for children to continue to nourish through weekends, mentoring for high school students, and jumpstart programming to prepare students for kindergarten are all examples of services that were featured at past Sioux Empire United Way WomenUnite Events. “We’ve found that the women of the Sioux Empire enjoy having an in-depth learning opportunity around a specific need in our community,” said Danyell Skillman, 2018 WomenUnite Event Volunteer Chair. “Thankfully, along with raising awareness about the need, United Way is also able to present a solution made possible by funding through Sioux Empire United Way’s annual campaign.” This year’s event will highlight Harmony South Dakota, a free after school music program that builds a community through respect, group contribution, perseverance, and love. Harmony South Dakota started in 2014, in part with a Sioux Empire United Way Community Impact Grant. Their location at St. Joseph’s School was ideal for Hawthorne Elementary students, a Title 1 school. Since launching, the program has grown and students from 12 difference schools now make their way to Harmony every day that school is in session. “We very quickly learned in our first year that Harmony wasn’t just a music program, but that we utilize music to teach kids and to cultivate the life skills they will need to become compassionate healthy adults and members of our community,” said Dan Goeller,

ET CETERA
Director of Harmony South Dakota. Harmony South Dakota students will be in attendance at this year’s WomenUnite Event. The luncheon event is Wednesday, August 15 from 11:30am to 1:00pm at Ramkota’s Exhibit Hall. “We are very excited to highlight Harmony’s program, including a musical performance from the students,” said Skillman. “Beyond the music, the skills and lessons they are learning every day at Harmony means they will become successful co-workers, family members, and continue to build our community.”
Harmony South Dakota focuses on four main values: • Everyone Has Value – Harmony South Dakota teaches that everyone has value and deserves to be respected. • Community Contribution – Each musician has an individual role but they must all work together to create harmony. Everyone makes a vital contribution to the group. • Perseverance – The children practice every afternoon while school is in session and for five weeks during the summer. • Do All Things in Love – Everyone deals with difficult and challenging life situations. Harmony South Dakota provides a safe and loving community for children to grow up together. “I love that Harmony’s program values line up so well with what our WomenUnite Event is about,” said Skillman. “This event isn’t just about gathering together, it’s about becoming a part of a community of change, of creating good, and Harmony participants see that same thing every day in their program.” Tickets to this year’s WomenUnite Event are still available for $20.

The Lyons and the Fair BY RON ROBINSON
A
ugust has always been a transitional month. It is still definitely summer, often with some of the highest temperatures of the season, but sometimes at night there is the whiff of fall in the air. Garden crops are maturing, and children sense school days just around the corner, with all the anticipation and anxiety that may bring. For years it has been the time for country fairs. In Sioux Falls it is time for the Sioux Empire Fair, held on the W. H. Lyon Fairgrounds. For history buffs it is the perfect time to reflect on the man whose name is on those fairgrounds and the woman whose generosity made the fairgrounds possible. William Hugh Lyon was just two years old in 1860 when his family moved from Carol, Iowa, to the village of Vermillion, which a year later became part of Dakota Territory. He attended grade school in Vermillion and high school in Newton, Iowa. He had ambitions to become a lawyer and interned with a Yankton lawyer before enrolling in a St. Louis law school. Upon graduation, he moved to the fastgrowing town of Sioux Falls. Soon after, he published a book, The People’s Problem, which dealt with a number of issues, including the advantages of ownership of railroads by the government. The book gained him a good deal of local recognition. Perhaps his most important conquest, however, was to win the heart of Winona Axtell, who became his wife in 1891. The
26 out and about |
HISTORY
following year he ran for the legislature on a platform of allowing municipalities to sell liquor. No one was more surprised than he when he won. Winona Axtell Lyon was known by the endearing nickname of “Dolly,” and together the Lyons became the heartbeat of early Sioux Falls society. Photographs of the couple at the time show youthful countenances, intelligent and compassionate eyes, and fashionable dress. At first clean-shaven, Lyon soon affected a distinguished mustache, which he retained until his death. He partnered with various other lawyers over time, the most enduring partnership being Lyon, Bradford, and Grigsby. He remained senior partner of that firm until the end. In 1913 he became a judge on the South Dakota Supreme Court. Active in Republican party politics, Lyon appeared to be on the liberal end of the spectrum, at various times championing workman’s compensation, reservation of oil and minerals in the sale of state lands, the establishment of bird sanctuaries, and city manager laws. Lyon’s name appeared most frequently in newspapers, however, in lists relating to assessments on his real estate investments, from which he must have derived a considerable amount of his wealth. He and Dolly were generous with their holdings, however. Their home was a stately building constructed in 1873 on
the site of the original Washington High School by the first mayor of Sioux Falls, Jacob Schaetzel. In 1909, the building was moved to S. Phillips Avenue, on ground boasting a grove of cottonwood trees, gradually replaced over time by evergreens. In 1928, the grounds were donated to the city and became Lyon Park, at the corner of Phillips and 14th St., for years the site of the city’s memorial day celebration. The Lyon house was later moved once again to 208 W. Lotta, where it remains today. The grounds upon which the first Carnegie Library was built was also donated by the Lyons, and today the structure serves as a municipal building. Another parcel, donated to the state of South Dakota, became the Palisades State Park near Garretson. And land next to the city of Hartford was given to the city to serve as a park. Significantly, William Lyon was deeply interested in local and regional history. He was a founding member of the Minnehaha County Historical Society, and on June 3, 1928, he spoke at the dedication of what is thought to be the very first MCHS historical marker, a brass plate attached to a Sioux Quartzite hitching post on the Sioux Falls College campus, commemorating the old Yankton Trail. Following William’s untimely death from pneumonia in September of 1930, it was Dolly who made perhaps the biggest and most enduring gift of land for public use. In
1938, she donated some 180 acres of land west of the city for use as a fairgrounds. The terms of the grant authorizes the maintenance, management, and operation of a county fair for the exhibition of farm, orchard, and garden produce, livestock, poultry, domestic and household produce, farm buildings, machinery and implements, 4-H and extension work and any and all things of interest to rural life and education. In 1964, relatives of the Lyons came to believe that liberties had been taken with the original will of the donor, in particular that the name of W. H. Lyon was in danger of being eradicated by the Sioux Empire Fair Association. As a result, the W. H. Lyon name is now preserved several places on the grounds, most obviously on the grandstand. The fair has undergone numerous transitions over the years, from a rural
emphasis to an accent on midway and grandstand entertainment, with the traditional produce and other rural displays playing second fiddle. Considering the transition of Sioux Falls from a town to a city, the transition is not unexpected, but it does give the fair something of a schizoid feel, particularly when real cowboys and cowgirls who have participated in the rodeo competition run into the “all hat and no cattle” short-shorts and boots fans of one of the young country-western grandstand idols. What the fair is all about, according to newspaper accounts, is equally confusing: Is it the calorieburdened, sweet and greasy midway fare, the winning pies and cakes in the baking competition, or the exquisite SDSU ice cream? — the nausea-inspiring rides or the slow and casual tour of the produce and folk art displays? —the gaudy and
loud grandstand attractions or the quiet and educational tour of the historical buildings on Pioneer Lane? Along the line, the county turned the running of the fairgrounds over to the Sioux Empire Fair Association, which also hosted many other events during the summer, including one of the most impressive Fourth of July fireworks displays found anywhere. Water and sewer connections were also set up on the grounds for trailers and campers, bringing additional income. The financial dealings of the Sioux Empire Fair Association were exposed in the most unsavory way in 2009 when it was disclosed that the office manager of the association, Kathleen Gourley, had stolen over half a million dollars, over time, from the organization’s coffers. For a couple years after that, it seemed that
etc. for her | August 2018 27
the fair might not survive. There was talk always of how to squeeze more money out of the operation of the fairground and even of the possibility of selling the fairgrounds for profit and moving the fair elsewhere. Since then, under the stern and pennywise leadership of President
28 out and about |
HISTORY
and CEO Scott Wick, the Sioux Empire Fair has turned the corner to profitability once again. Depending on how you count, this year is the 80th year of the W. H. Lyon fairgrounds, as well as the 50th anniversary of Pioneer Lane, one of the
lesser attractions at the fair, but one which most embodies the spirit of reverence for the region’s rural past most dear to William and Dolly Lyon. Ron Robinson may be contacted at ronaldrexmac@gmail.com.

O
nce upon a time, Gail Cain worked for Bank of America, and a young man caught her eye. She asked a coworker for information about him, and the coworker asked why Gail was interested. “Because I want to ask him out on a date,” Gail replied. The date happened, and she later married Sam Hasegawa in San Francisco, where they made their home until moving to Sioux Falls 18 years ago….from SF on the west coast to SF in the Midwest. Gail is originally from southern Indiana, but Sam grew up in Sioux Falls after his family relocated here from California. While in Sioux Falls, Sam played in a band called The Fabulous Apostles – later just The Apostles – and he and Gail would come back to Sioux Falls for band reunions. While here for those visits, they would drive around Sioux Falls looking at various neighborhoods, which got them thinking about the possibility of moving. However, they loved their vintage San Francisco apartment with its early 20th century character. They were just six blocks from Golden Gate Park, and they could walk to shops, restaurants and other services like the dry cleaners. And after all of their years living in San Francisco, they weren’t sure about being a permanent part of South Dakota winters. Gail decided to start a list of everything they would want their home to have if they moved to Sioux Falls. She started with things like hardwood floors, pocket doors, a great neighborhood…and wound up filling four pages with notes. “I figured that would be a long enough list to ensure we wouldn’t find anything close to what we wanted, and therefore, wouldn’t have to leave our apartment.” Then one day, their phone rang. “We found it!” exclaimed their friend

calling from Sioux Falls, who proceeded to tell them about a house for sale in the historic Cathedral neighborhood. Sam went to see it and called back to Gail, telling her they needed to make an offer right away. They bought the house without Gail stepping foot inside. But, when that day came and she walked through the door, the only thought her mind was, “It’s perfect.” She says they felt so blessed because they didn’t have to do any structural work to the house, aside from a little plaster repair needed after they removed wallpaper. The plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling had all been updated by previous owners. A sign in the yard before walking up the steps of the wrap-around porch explains to visitors that this 1910 home was a gift to Clifford and Mary Peck. In fact, when Gail and Sam moved in and started to meet their neighbors, people would say, “Oh, you’re in the wedding house!” The floorplan is common to homes of this era - a parlor, living room, dining

room and kitchen on the main floor and bedrooms on the second floor. The parlor could have also been used as a music room, Gail explains, because they didn’t need entire rooms for things like a television back then. The windows in such a room were often referred to as spinnet windows because a spinnet piano would be placed near them. Today in the 21st Century, however, it is an electric keyboard that fills this room with music. The focal point in the living room is the fireplace, which was an inexpensive gas fireplace when they moved in. “There are two fireplaces in the house; in the living room and the master bedroom; and neither one was working very well,” says Gail. They enlisted Top Hat and Tails, a local company, to assist with the fireplace makeovers. Because they originally were coal-burning, the openings were shallow. The company was able to locate gas inserts in England that mimic a coal fire, and then fitted them into the fireplaces. A wide entry complete with wood

columns connects the living room to the dining room. The columns had been removed at one time but, fortunately, were not destroyed. Previous owners found them in the attic and reinstalled them. “That was one thing we heard a lot from people who knew about old houses or had moved into old houses,” Gail says. “You always want to check the attic and the basement for original pieces from the home that might have been moved at some time.” Because they had a “great” dining room in San Francisco and love entertaining, having a separate dining room was high on the list of what they were looking for as they considered their move to Sioux Falls. Sam and Gail found the Stickley oak sideboard in the dining room after they had moved here, and it was perfect for storing all of the antique china pieces Gail inherited from her great-grandmother and grandmother. The tall painted hutch in the corner looks like it was handed down, perhaps even from Scandinavian descent, but that’s not the case, Gail confesses. “The same friend who helped us find this house called me one day about a piece she saw at a furniture outlet, saying she knew I would love it. Plus, it was a really great deal!” The hutch holds some of their Japanese dishes honoring Sam’s heritage, as well as the salt and pepper collection that had belonged to Gail’s grandmother. A butler’s pantry space links the dining room to the kitchen – the one room that is still left on Sam and Gail’s “to do” list. Over the years, the original cabinetry had been removed, so they would love to restore the kitchen to a look fitting with the early 1900s décor. The oak staircase leading upstairs was another feature where the couple benefited from work done by previous owners, as it had been painted at one time and later stripped and restored. Framed black and white photos line the wall going up the stairs, creating a gallery representing both sides of the family. The windows at the landing, like many

of the windows throughout the home, are original lead-glass. A room Sam and Gail use as a study is adjacent to the master bedroom and likely at one time could have been used as a nursery. While the downstairs fireplace brick was left in its original finish, a previous owner had painted the brick white on the fireplace in their room, which also has the unique feature of two separate closets. Angled ceilings provide cozy charm to all of the bedrooms, and Gail says they decided to leave the old radiators in place for several reasons. First, they represent the period of the house and bring back great memories she has of that warm “hiss” the radiators would emit when they kicked in on a cold night. While nostalgia is a good reason to leave them in place, the more practical reasons are that they are ‘heavier than heck” plus they would then have to fix the wood floors. The home has a half-bath off the kitchen and one full bath upstairs, which did get a little updating after they moved in. Somewhere along the line, the original claw foot tub was removed and a “modern” tank tub was added. Sam and Gail decided to just take the tub out altogether and install a new walk-in shower. They kept the character of the bathroom intact with white wainscoting on the walls, white hexagonal floor tile and a white pedestal sink. One of the guest rooms upstairs has a small dresser that was the last gift Gail’s dad gave to her mom before she passed away. Sitting on the dresser are pieces of jewelry from her mom and great-aunt. Hanging on the wall above it is a rustic drawing of a farm scene framed in barn wood. “My dad liked to draw, and he was also a horseman,” says Gail. Two of his bolo ties hang from the corners of the frame. On another wall hangs a picture of Sam’s parents at their wedding, just after World War II. Sam translated an old Japanese poem and had the photo and poem framed for an anniversary gift to his parents. Now that they have both passed away, it is a

special keepsake for Sam and Gail. For all of the features inside the house that they love, what they have grown to love even more is the neighborhood. “We knew people in San Francisco,” says Gail, “but it isn’t the same as it is here. We had neighbors there that we had never even seen the inside of their apartments.” Here in Sioux Falls, though, Sam and Gail are part of the active Cathedral Neighborhood Watch group, and they put welcome packets together for new neighbors. They can walk downtown and enjoy socializing with their little dog Joji in tow. “There are so many young families moving into the neighborhood,” says Sam, “so we have a lot of friends who are actually the same age as our kids. It’s great.” Gail belongs to a neighborhood book club with more than 20 members, kids and families are out walking and neighbors routinely do kind things for one another. “A neighbor unexpectedly brought over a beautiful bouquet from her garden on the very day we were having pictures for this story,” says Gail, “which was perfect because we didn’t have any other kind of arrangement on the dining room table.” The neighborhood has gone through changes over the years, and oftentimes was looked at only as an area that was old or perhaps not safe. To counter those perceptions, the Neighborhood Watch group has hosted tours of homes for local realtors. “We take them through the interiors of the houses, walk through the great yards and point out that the houses in the neighborhood have garages, including some that were once carriage houses,” Gail explains. “We hear a lot of great feedback from the realtors that it helps them truly get to know the character of the neighborhood, that it is a unique and safe place to live, and that the houses have modern amenities and still tell a story about the history of Sioux Falls.” This isn’t the SF they knew in California, but this is the SF they love to call home.

UNREWARDING REWARDS BY JIM MATHIS
“AND STOP APOLOGIZING FOR THE THINGS YOU’VE NEVER DONE, ‘CAUSE TIME IS SHORT AND LIFE IS CRUEL BUT IT’S UP TO US TO CHANGE, THIS TOWN CALLED MALICE.” “TOWN CALLED MALICE” PAUL WELLER
L
ately I’ve become a frustrated shopper. Way too many stores are pushing rewards programs that leave me feeling less than rewarded. It’s hard to buy anything without being asked to sign up for some kind of “customer loyalty program.” There are all manner of special money saving programs, cards, apps, etc. Today at Ace Hardware I was asked for my Ace Rewards number so I’d get credit for the purchase of 2 stainless steel screws; the total cost was 70 cents. Was it really worth my time for that? I seriously doubt those screws will be the purchase that puts me over the top and earns me some great prize. The most ridiculous? After walking past the “Going out of Business” signs at Sears, I was asked if I
wanted to sign up for their program. Seriously. I know I’m going to hear from many loyal readers who will tell me I’m wrong, and these reward programs are incredibly valuable to them. I do not deny that they work well for many people; just not for me. Last week a friend showed me how she had spent $66 that morning and earned $1.50 off each gallon of gas. She had done her homework and stocked up on many items her family eats regularly. She planned to go back and was confident she’d earn another dollar or two by the end of the weekend just by buying things she’d need in the next few months anyway. For her, these
etc. for her | August 2018 45
programs are not just a huge benefit; they present a challenge to work the system to squeeze out as much value as possible. If that’s your jam, rock on! When I went to the same store and made purchases not just for our home, but for the ADwërks office and my mother-in-law, my total rewards tallied up to 18 cents. Why? I went on the wrong day and I was buying the few items on the list for that week; not weeks and months in advance. And I had not done the research to see what was on sale and would garner the highest value for the most money. Nope. I was simply buying what we needed. That’s the way I shop. I buy what we need when we need it, no more than a week or two in advance. With only two people in our household, we’ve found that many of the products that earn the most points are packaged for larger families. For example, I wanted two chicken breasts; when I got to the counter I saw that if I bought five, I’d save money. But I didn’t need that. I paid full price with no reward. Another challenge is that these rewards programs tend to push you towards packaged goods, not fresh food. So while we as consumers are being bombarded with messages imploring us to eat fresher, less-processed foods, the best deals are not found there. Some of the rewards my friend received were on several cans of corn, but since I bought my vegetables at the farmers market, the reward for me was fresh taste and knowing where my food came from. In the mega-mart, there aren’t rewards for buying fresh because the store doesn’t have as much markup there. As I said, even in the meat aisle to get rewards, you need to buy in bulk, which for me would mean separating the bulk buys into multiple portions and freezing it. So much for eating fresh. The value-sized portioning is what made me give up my Costco membership. I became frustrated by the large volume packages and the odd-numbered quantities in packages of meat. They simply don’t cater to single or two-person households, so I quit the club that didn’t feel like it wanted me as a member.

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
“And stop apologizing for the things you’ve never done, ‘Cause time is short and life is cruel but it’s up to us to change, this town called Malice.” — “Town Called Malice” Paul Weller
Why do companies offer these programs? You might think they want to thank you for being a loyal customer or perhaps they really do want you to save money to make your life better. But the true answer is one word: data. These stores are collecting data on you... what you purchase and how often you buy each product. They then use that data to get you back into the store to buy it the next time. More importantly they want you to do more of your shopping there, and to stay out of the competing stores. The loyalty they are building is not to you the consumer; they’re building your loyalty to them, the retailer. Now I will admit some small local restaurants have implemented simple rewards programs which I appreciate. CH Patisserie and Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen have programs that work through their point-of-sale device. They recognize me simply by my credit card and when I make their set number of purchases, I get a code via text message or email with a discount on my next purchase. I don’t have to carry an extra card, verify my membership or anything. They are easy and they reward me for doing what I was going to do anyway. The other rewards I appreciate are the greetings “Hello Jim” and “What can I do for you today Mister Mathis?” that I hear when I enter some of my favorite shops and restaurants. I appreciate the woman who knows how I like my iced coffee on Saturday morning at MB Haskett’s or the servers at K and Mama’s Ladas who give my beloved and me a good-natured ribbing when we haven’t been in for a while. Those rewards really have value to me; they tell me I matter as a customer and they appreciate my business as much as I value their great service. And I don’t need a special card. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

Back to Wine Tasting
BASICS BY RICCARDO TARABELSI
S
eriously? It seems like summer just began, and now here I am writing a “Back to School” article… I don’t know about your kids, but here’s what mine are excited about: Dante (12th grade) is looking forward to his senior year and figuring out which college to attend. Berent (10th grade) is already in preseason for high school soccer while in marching band boot camp, and Jaxon (9th grade) also in marching band said, “Back to school? Already?” I know what you mean, Jaxon, but as our kids get ready for another school year, it’s always good for us adults to go back to the basics when it comes to wine drinking. I view drinking wine like coaching soccer: every player has a purpose just like every sense has a purpose when tasting wine. Utilize all your senses! See the wine, smell the wine, feel the wine, and taste the wine… then listen to the clinking of the glasses and the oohs and ahhs as you impress your friends with your wine tasting skills you are about to learn. So please sit up straight, sharpen your No. 2 pencil, and open your mind…
Seeing is Believing Color is very important in wine which is why people are often seen holding a glass of wine up to the light or against a white table cloth before drinking it. As wine ages, the color of the wine changes. Red wines in general begin as a very dark red or purple color. Over time, red wines tend to fade from this dark shade to a garnet and finally a brick red. At first this color change might only be noticed around the rim of a wine, but over the years, the entire wine will fade. White wine on the other hand tends to darken with

VINO
age. White wines usually start out straw or lemon in color and age to dark amber. Why is the color of a wine so important to inspect? The color of wine with respect to its age can be an important key in determining if a bottle of wine has been manufactured poorly. For example, if a one-year-old bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is already a very dark, deep amber color when the bottle is first opened, this could signify that the bottle has not been manufactured and processed correctly causing the wine to age prematurely. The same can be said for red wines, if a young bottle of Merlot is already a brick red or brown color when opened, chances are good there was a problem with the bottle, and it will not have optimal taste. It is also important to inspect the legs of a glass of wine. Legs or fingers or tears are terms used to describe the streams of wine that are on the sides of a glass after it has been swirled around. Legs are an indicator of how much alcohol is in the wine. Just remember this: If the legs are slow to fall, it means high alcohol. In other words, if a wine’s legs are slow to form and then slowly roll down the bowl of the glass, it probably means you are holding a big wine that has a higher alcohol content.
Smell Well This is where the most time should be spent. Pay special attention to the aromas you are about to smell. The best way to release the aromas of a glass of wine is to swirl it for a few moments. Swirling helps to aerate the wine and allows more
oxygen to have contact with the wine, which in turn releases aromas. It is important to smell a glass of wine before drinking to ensure that the wine smells healthy. A wine should never smell moldy or stale. If you smell acetone (like nail polish remover,) just run away, your wine is officially spoiled! Aside from checking if a wine smells flawless, swirling a glass of wine is also a great way to be able to smell the primary and/or secondary aromas. Primary aromas are usually found in younger wines, and usually are fruit related. Look for the six categories of fruit aromas: citrus fruit (lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit,) tree fruit (apple and pear,) stone fruit (peach, apricot, and cherry,) berry fruit (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, etc.,) tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, and mango,) and dried fruit (fig, prune, and raisin.) Secondary aromas to look for are wood (like vanilla, oak, cedar, and smoke,) earth (like mushroom, stone, and dust,) floral (like rose, violet, and orange blossom,) herbaceous (like grass, asparagus, bell pepper, olive, and eucalyptus, and miscellaneous (like tar, rubber, sulfur, wet dog- no joke, cat pee- again, not a joke, and yeast.)
Taste Test Finally, there is your palate. The purpose of tasting the wine, besides actually enjoying the winemaker’s creation, is to confirm everything that you just smelled. Because we spend the most time smelling the wine, our palate is used to confirm the fruit or the earth your nose detected. Some wines have layers of flavors that evolve as the wine passes through your palate. A wine that lingers is a sign of a good quality wine, but it also means the flavor can be enjoyed longer. Be sure to use your entire palate. Most people wine front to back, meaning they just take a sip of wine and then swallow it. Be sure to allow your entire palate to absorb the wine, so when you take a sip, let the wine travel the topography of your palate and let all of your tasting zones experience the wine. Be sure to let the wine hit the sides of your tongue; you may experience something new you never knew was there.

Feel It Mouthfeel is a term used in wine tasting to describe how a wine interacts with the palate and how it feels or weighs in the mouth, typically described as body. A good analogy is comparing wine to how milk feels. If a wine feels like skim milk (thin and watery) then the wine is described as having a light body. A mediumbodied wine will feel like 2% milk, and a full-bodied wine will feel like whole milk, almost coating your palate. Well, are you ready for the test… no, it’s not a written test, it’s a palate test. Invite your friends, tell them to pick out any bottle of wine and bring it over in a brown bag, and then pour the mystery wines and start using your senses! Carpe Vino!

“One of the
great benefits of mindfulness is its ability to lower stress.”
The Power of Mindfulness BY KATIE DANIEL | AVERA HEALTH
E
xperiencing fear, anxiety, loss and grief is part of being human. Yet after a cancer diagnosis, this can be especially true. There’s really no facet of life that’s not touched when someone begins cancer treatment. “Undergoing cancer treatment affects work, family, finances, relationships, body image, goals for the future and so much more, says Brenda Ling, CSW-PIP, a clinical social worker at Avera Medical Group Integrative Medicine. “There’s a need to process loss and grief with all of those changes.” That’s why Ling focuses on helping patients at Avera Cancer Institute in Sioux Falls throughout their cancer journey. With over 30 years of experience, she understands the unique emotional challenges that both they and their loved ones face during treatment and beyond. One of the tools that Ling teaches her patients – and practices herself – is mindfulness. In fact, Ling says, it’s a practice that can help anyone deal with the struggles of life.
It’s important to note that mindfulness is not about denying or ignoring negative feelings. Instead, it’s about recognizing them and observing what you’re experiencing without judgment. A common example that Ling sees is the struggle with fear or anxiety. “With mindfulness, the intent is not to avoid the feelings of fear or anxiety. The reality is that cancer and treatment can be scary. Instead, through mindfulness practices, you acknowledge what you’re feeling in the present and take a moment to say, ‘Before I decide what I’m going to do or how I’m going to think or act, I’m just going to calm myself and create some space.’” Ling says that when you create that emotional “space,” you’ll be able to stay calm and think more clearly. Over time, you may find that you aren’t as reactive to what is going on in your life. And despite its name, mindfulness doesn’t just have benefits for the mind. It’s an integral part of healing the whole self – mind, body and spirit.
Mindfulness – What Is It & How Does It Help?
Several published research studies have documented benefits of practicing mindfulness, such as:
Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention and waking up to the present moment. It allows you to live in the fullness of the current moment – without being lost in memories of the past or overwhelmed by the worries of the future.
64 mind-body-spirit |
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
• Decreased stress symptoms • Decreased anxiety
• Improved sleep quality • Enhanced emotional processing • Enhanced coping with the effects of chronic illness • Enhanced immune and brain functioning
One of the great benefits of mindfulness is its ability to lower stress. Stress causes the brain to excrete stress hormones which can increase the body’s inflammatory response. When this stress response goes on for a long period of time, you can become sick because the hormones – such as cortisol – weaken the immune system’s ability to fight disease. “Inflammation causes a direct conflict with healing,” says Ling. “But when you lower stress, you also bring the inflammation down which can improve your body’s ability to heal.”
Types of Mindfulness Practices Getting started with mindfulness can be as simple as taking a few minutes to slow down and recognize your breathing and thoughts. There are also a variety of practices, including: • Body scan and tension release • Focused breathing • Meditation • Singing Bowls relaxation and meditation • Tai Chi • Yoga And when it comes to mindfulness, Ling emphasizes that patience is key. “Because it’s a practice, it’s not something you master right away. You get better as you train your neuropathways to go toward positive self-talk and relaxation instead of the fear route, for example.” Ling describes how patients who incorporate some sort of mindfulness practice on a daily basis say that they’re able to go into a more relaxed state in the midst of crisis, apprehension or stress in a much quicker way. “Just like anything else, the more you practice it, the easier and more automatic it becomes,” she adds. Patients undergoing cancer treatment at Avera Cancer Institute in Sioux Falls can find mindfulness kits that include handouts about mindfulness practices and an iPad and earbuds where they can listen to meditations while receiving treatment. If you’re interested in learning more about how mindfulness practices can impact your cancer journey, check out an upcoming Renewing Life class. This eight-week course is open to anyone who has been affected by cancer – both patients and their loved ones. It’s designed to empower participants to live authentically, view challenging life events as an opportunity for growth and create plans for renewed living.

5 THINGS TO LOOK FOR in Orthopedic-Friendly Shoes BY ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE
re high heeled shoes really a girl’s best friend? That depends. Should a best friend hurt you, fail you and cause you irreversible pain? Well, many “best friends” do. That’s why you either find a way to deal with them or move on to find ones you are truly compatible with. Whether you’re accommodating for a temporary or chronic condition, shoes with orthopedic features can be a great tool for improving your foot health. They can go a long way toward treating conditions such as blisters, long-term foot pain, bone spurs or arthritis—all symptoms that can be born out of wearing improper footwear. If you’ve decided it’s time to look for a better shoe, whether by pedorthist recommendation or by personal interest, there are a few things to look for when trying out your options.
A
or calluses over time? (Look for round- or square-toed shoes, and avoid shoes that come to a point.) The bottoms of each person’s feet can vary widely, so make sure you’ve taken steps to ensure your individual shape is accommodated for. (Your left foot may even vary from your right!) You could also benefit from features that you can add to your existing shoes, such as certain inserts and custom-made appliances. For example, some steel flat inserts are used to help with toe pain, some small, custom-made heel lifts can help with planar fasciitis—the list is virtually endless. Talk with an Orthopedic Institute specialist to see if this could work for you. Are you an avid runner? There are even more considerations to make when it comes to shoes built for joggers.
Inside Features
Outside Features
When investigating the inner workings of your everyday shoe of choice, it’s important to look for a few key elements. Does the insole provide adequate support—is it removable, and does it offer the right amount of cushion for your distinct arch? How about toe room—does it offer the right amount of space to prevent irritation
The comfort and effectiveness of your everyday-use shoes depends on more than just the inner elements. Outer pieces can have a big impact on quality as well. Look for pairs that feature breathable fabric on the top of the shoe for optimum ventilation in warmer conditions. The style of the base of the shoe is also

critically important—make sure it features quality tread to keep your contact with the ground stable and balanced.
Adequate Heel Many shoes feature a slight heel. Depending on your arch and the foot condition you’re accounting for, a slight lift can actually help in some cases, such as plantar fasciitis. (Consult with your pedorthist on which heel features are best-fit for you and your condition—depending on what you’re accounting for, less heel may be a better idea.) You should also keep your eyes peeled for pairs that have a stable heel counter—the cup that offers structure to the back half of the shoe. A good way to spot this is to test a heel’s bendability. If it’s difficult to bend, it should provide stable support.
True Fit This may or may not surprise you, but your feet can experience slight changes in size throughout the day depending on factors such as humidity and temperature. That’s why picking the absolute right fit can be so important for someone looking for shoes that maintain quality foot health. Consider trying on pairs in the afternoon or evening hours once your feet have been walked on for several hours and have slightly expanded from use and outside conditions. This also goes for older shoe-buyers—our feet change throughout our lives, so if you’re still wearing the same size you wore years ago, it might be time to take updated measurements. (Pro tip: When pinpointing the best fit, it’s important to wear
the style of socks you’ll most often be utilizing when wearing these shoes—it will give you the truly best idea of the size you should buy.)
Specialization When it comes to finding quality shoes, it helps to do your homework before you head to the store. While some major footwear manufacturers may offer shoes with joint-healthy support in addition to standard designs, they may not have a true specialization in this style of shoe. Look for companies with good reviews and endorsements of health organizations or manufacturers that solely focus on quality, well-designed and manufactured shoes. It also can’t hurt to speak to your foot & ankle specialist about best practices when buying. To make an appointment with OI’s foot & ankle orthopedist, Dr. Eric Watson, call 605-331-5890.

Flip Cup Canvas Needed: White canvas, washable paint, water, and a paper cup. Instructions: For this craft, it’s important to add tiny amounts of water to each color of paint you would like to use, in order to achieve the best thickness for spreading around the canvas. Test the consistency of the paint out on scratch paper to make sure it will spread enough or too much. When you are ready, add a layer of each color of paint you would like to use for your panting into a paper cup. You can use as many colors as you would like. Next, carefully and quickly tip the cup upside down to the middle of your canvas. Slowly lift the cup up as the paint begins to spill out. Lift your canvas and tilt it various ways until the paint completely covers it. This comes out different every time, and it’s fun to watch the results and play with different canvas sizes and paint colors.

Instructions: This activity is so easy and fun with the kids. Start with a small amount of milk poured into a paper plate. Drop various colors of food coloring into the milk, then dip a cotton swab into some dish soap.

Exercise During Pregnancy:
IS IT SAFE? BY SANFORD HEALTH
I
s exercise during pregnancy helpful or harmful for you and baby? This is one of the many questions expectant mothers can face during pregnancy, and everyone has answers. But the conflicting advice you receive from your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers can make it difficult to know if you’re doing the right thing.
Baby, Let’s Move According to Kristin Hermanson, M.D., obstetrics and gynecology specialist at Sanford Health, most moms-to-be shouldn’t be afraid to exercise. “For healthy women with normal pregnancies, most exercises are safe, but a few changes or adjustments may be necessary,” she adds. “Make sure to discuss plans with your health care provider. Together you can determine what is a safe exercise routine for you and your unborn baby.” Dr. Hermanson generally recommends women be active for about 30 minutes every day. Make sure to keep activity at a moderate or low intensity level. You should be able to carry on a conversation while working out.

PARENTING & PREGNANCY
In the past, many believed if you weren’t already active, pregnancy wasn’t a good time to start. Dr. Hermanson says this is no longer the case. “Whether expectant moms are new to exercise or have been active for years, they can reap benefits of exercise during pregnancy,” she says. “Obviously if you don’t have a routine in place, it’s good to start out slowly.” Benefits for you and baby Dr. Hermanson says regular exercise during pregnancy can have a positive impact before and after your baby is born.
Benefits may include: • Less back pain and constipation • Healthy weight gain • Less risk of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia • Improved overall physical fitness and emotional well-being • Potentially easing or even shortening labor and delivery • Normal, healthy birthweight for baby • A healthier heart for baby
“Dr. Hermanson says regular exercise during pregnancy can have a positive impact before and after your baby is born.”
Make Smart, Healthy Choices When exercising during pregnancy, Dr. Hermanson says there are some extra precautions to remember. “Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after workouts,” she says. “It’s very important to stay hydrated.” It’s also important to not get overheated. When temperatures get warmer and the humidity increases, make sure to exercise in a temperature-controlled room if possible. “Avoid standing still or lying flat on your back as much as possible,” Dr. Hermanson suggests. “Both positions can decrease the amount of blood returning to your heart and may cause your blood pressure to decrease for a short time.”
• Scuba diving • Hot yoga
Safe exercises for mom and baby There are plenty of ways to safely exercise during pregnancy. Dr. Hermanson recommends choosing from the following: • Walking • Swimming or water workouts • Stationary bicycling • Modified yoga or Pilates
Exercises to Avoid During Pregnancy
If you are an experienced runner or jogger, these are also an option. Remember to discuss any and all activities with your health care professional before beginning.
Stay away from activities that increase the chance of getting hurt or becoming overheated. They include: • Basketball • Soccer • Water or snow skiing • Horseback riding
“Sanford Wellness Center also offers several pregnancy exercise classes,” adds Dr. Hermanson. “With all these options, it’s hard to not find something safe that fits the needs of you and your baby. The goal is to help you and your baby be healthy and strong during and after pregnancy.”

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WONDERFUL BOOKS FOR CHILDREN WE HAVE COME ACROSS THIS MONTH. WE HOPE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME YOU HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE AND ALSO INTRODUCE OTHERS BEING RELEASED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ENJOY. Sinking the Sultana A Civil War Story of Imprisonment, Greed, and a Doomed Journey Home by Sally M. Walker In 1865, the Civil War was winding down and the country was reeling from Lincoln’s assassination. Thousands of Union soldiers, released from Confederate prisonerof-war camps, were to be transported home on the steamboat Sultana. With a profit to be made, the captain rushed repairs to the boat so the soldiers wouldn’t find transportation elsewhere. More than 2,000 passengers boarded in Vicksburg, Mississippi . . . on a boat with a capacity of 376. The journey was violently interrupted when the boat’s boilers exploded, plunging the Sultana into mayhem; passengers were bombarded with red-hot iron fragments, burned by scalding steam, and flung overboard into the churning Mississippi. Although rescue efforts were launched, the survival rate was dismal — more than 1,500 lives were lost. In a compelling, exhaustively researched account, renowned author Sally M. Walker joins the ranks of historians who have been asking the same question for 150 years: who (or what) was responsible for the Sultana’s disastrous fate? Ages 10 yrs and up candlewickpress.com
Race to the Bottom of the Sea by Lindsay Eagar When her parents, the great marine scientists Dr. and Dr. Quail, are killed in a tragic accident, eleven-yearold Fidelia Quail is racked by grief — and guilt. It was a submarine of Fidelia’s invention that her parents were in when they died, and it was she who pressed them to stay out longer when the raging Undertow was looming. But Fidelia is forced out of her mourning when she’s kidnapped by Merrick the Monstrous, a pirate whose list of treasons stretches longer than a ribbon eel. Her task? Use her marine know-how to retrieve his treasure, lost on the ocean floor. But as Fidelia and the pirates close in on the prize, with the navy hot on their heels, she realizes that Merrick doesn’t expect to live long enough to enjoy his loot.

Luckily, his great-aunt Ada happens to have left behind an intact time machine, and fueled by the thought of future cakes not yet invented, Harold signs on for another Pigsticks scheme. When the lever breaks on the time machine, however, Pigsticks and Harold are catapulted back and forth through history — way back to the era of the dinopigs, ahead to the building of the Statue of Pigerty in New York, back to ancient Rome and its famous Julius Squealer — with no way to make the traveling stop, and with dangerous moments at every turn.

The Wonderling by Mira Bartok Welcome to the Home for Wayward and Misbegotten Creatures, an institution run by evil Miss Carbunkle, a cunning villainess who believes her terrified young charges exist only to serve and suffer. Part animal and part human, the groundlings toil in classroom and factory, forbidden to enjoy anything regular children have, most particularly singing and music. For the Wonderling, an innocent-hearted, one-eared, fox-like eleven-year-old with only a number rather than a proper name — a 13 etched on a medallion around his neck — it is the only home he has ever known. But unexpected courage leads him to acquire the loyalty of a young bird groundling named Trinket, who gives the Home’s loneliest inhabitant two incredible gifts: a real name — Arthur, like the good king in the old stories — and a best friend.

AUGUST IS NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS MONTH Why is it important to vaccinate my pet? Vaccinations protect your pet from highly contagious & deadly diseases and improve your pet’s overall quality of life. Do vaccinations ensure protection? For most pets, vaccination is effective in preventing future disease and only rarely will a vaccinated pet have insufficient immunity to fight off the disease. It is important to follow the vaccination schedule provided by your veterinarian to reduce the possibility of a gap in protection. Are there risks to vaccinating my pet? Any type of medical treatment has associated risks associated, but the risk should be weighed against the benefits of protecting your pet, your family and your community from potentially fatal diseases. The majority of pets respond well to vaccines. The most common adverse responses to vaccination are mild and short-term, and serious reactions are rare. Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations Very young animals are highly susceptible to infectious disease because their immune system is not yet fully mature. To provide optimal protection against disease in the first few months of life, a series of vaccinations are scheduled, usually 3-4 weeks apart.
Jax, best friend of Karl & Colleen Lunstra
Which vaccinations should my pet receive? “Core” vaccines are recommended for most pets in a particular geographical location because they protect from diseases most common in that area. “Non-core” vaccinations are for individual pets with unique needs.Talk with your veterinarian about your pet’s lifestyle, including any expected travel to other locations and/or contact with other animals, since these factors impact your pet’s risk of exposure to certain diseases.
