Creative Surfaces Countertops and Tile BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY
F
or the past three decades, Creative Surfaces has been part of the Sioux Falls business community. Founded in 1988 by Ted and Bev Pins, the company has evolved from the local level, with residential cabinetry and countertops,

CONCIERGE
to commercial cabinetry and signage for clients around the world. As Ted and Bev transitioned out of the business in the ‘90s, their son Jud moved into the role of company president. They opened The Stone Center in 2005
to feature their expertise in custom countertops, and later moved to the Southway Mall on Minnesota Avenue. In 2013, they opened the Cambria Gallery. Over the past several years as the business continued to grow, the team
Hours: Monday-Friday 10am-6pm | Sat 10-1 Creative Surfaces Countertops & Tile 3012 W. 57th Street 605.362.5853 www.creativesurfaces.com
realized a bigger space would allow them to better showcase their products to customers. Their dream became a reality this fall when Creative Surfaces Countertops and Tile opened in a new location on 57th Street.
“We were excited when we added the Cambria Gallery next to The Stone Center on Minnesota Avenue,” says Denise Pins, Marketing Coordinator. “But, in order to get from one space to the other, customers had to walk
outside. It is wonderful to now have everything here in our new location.” Pins says it has been an exciting fall as the team has experimented with how best to utilize the new space to help their customers with a wide range of design projects. “It is so helpful for our customers to be able to come into this facility and see the large slabs of Cambria quartz or the many vignettes set up throughout the showroom,” says Amy Kruetzfeldt, one of the two designers at the new location. “It is so much easier to make decisions this way than from a small sample chip.” Kruetzfeldt says some customers come into the showroom first and design their project around the countertops. For others, the countertops are the last piece of the puzzle after cabinets or paint colors have been selected. And then, she says, there are customers who just know they want an updated look for a room but don’t know where to start. Creative Surfaces Countertops and Tile can help with all of these situations. Customers are encouraged to bring in anything they are trying to match, from paint colors or cabinet doors to flooring or even artwork. There are spacious work stations to lay everything out and explore different combinations of countertop surfaces or tiles for flooring, walls or for a backsplash. Denise has been with the company 10 years, and Amy has been a designer there for 13 years. One thing they both agree on is that anything goes with design these days. “A customer’s personality and their lifestyle are a big part of the design process and the ultimate finished room,” says Kruetzfeldt. “You don’t have to feel like you are limited by what may already exist in your house.” For example, a homeowner may want to update
etc. for her | November 2018 9
a kitchen to something more modern but be concerned that the rest of the house has oak woodwork, explains Kruetzfeldt. The designers are there to explore how you can have traditional in one room, contemporary in another and then transitional spaces to connect it all together. When thinking about how design has changed in recent years, both Pins and Kruetzfeldt agree that the internet has played a role. “It used to be that you’d see something you liked on a TV show or a picture in a magazine,” says Pins. “But now with the wealth of product websites or social media sites, customers have no shortage of places to look for design ideas.” For the past five years, Creative Surfaces has been a Cambria distributor in the region, and it’s the product quality that led them to create a unique gallery space specifically for Cambria. “With Cambria quartz, you are getting a product that is 100 percent nonporous,” says Pins, “which means it is easy to maintain, and is heat- and scratchresistant. They never retire their designs, so even if you completed a project five years ago and now want to use that same design in another room, you are still going to be able to get it.” Pins estimates there are around 160 Cambria designs, with new ones released at least twice a year. The gallery at the new 57th Street location includes racks holding large slabs of Cambria to highlight the unique designs, as well as two walls of sample squares, arranged from lighter to darker color designs.

CONCIERGE
Throughout the store, the “vignettes” Kruetzfeldt talked about are opportunities for customers to see the products in fullyfinished spaces, including unique light fixtures, furniture and accessories. In the front of the Cambria gallery is a navy blue and white living room space with a fireplace, as well a fully-functioning kitchen finished in black and white. This space is available to reserve for cooking classes, dinner parties, or even a book club gathering. The showroom vignettes range from a farmhouse-style kitchen to one that is more contemporary, as well as a variety of bathroom vanity styles. In addition to the different countertop designs, these real-life room samples showcase the wide range of glass, ceramic and stone tiles that can complement your project. “We have a wide range of products to complement our customers’ styles and fit their budgets,” says Pins. “From start to finish, we are with you every step of the way. Our designers can get you started, and they will work with other designers or builders to help see your vision to reality.” Another benefit to customers is that Creative Surfaces does their own templating and installation to ensure everything is done just right. Both Pins and Kruetzfeldt love the personal connections they make with their customers, and the greatest rewards are the smiles on customers’ faces of getting emailed photos of completed projects. The second generation of the Pins family is already well-versed in the family business and ready to take Creative Surfaces forward into their next 30 years.

With so many BIG BOX stores closing, local artists & crafters have a new shopping crowd!
W
ith several of the big box chain stores closing in the Sioux Falls market, the Sioux Empire Arts & Crafts Show offers even bigger crowds of shoppers looking for unique holiday gifts! “Many of our shoppers are not interested in online shopping, and with fewer options locally, our event is a great place for these people to come and get something for everyone on their holiday shopping list,” says Kari Black event organizer. “I just know that some people like to see and hold what they are buying, because sometimes online purchases don’t pan out to be what you thought you were buying.” This event has been going on for 15 years and has seen an increase in vendors and shoppers year after year. One thing that has not remained the same is the type of items sold at the event. Trends and fads change the landscape of items for sale year after
year. “This year we are seeing a lot of barn wood being made into neat household items such as frames, pictures, benches and décor. Also many upcycled type booths with an array of pretty things,” says Kari. Shoppers can expect to find things like handmade jewelry from old silverware, children’s toys, soaps, candles, and many different items that can be personalized like mugs, clothing, piggy banks etc. This year there will be vendors represented from these states: IA, AR, KS, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, TX, WI and WY. With exhibitors coming from such a vast area, shoppers may see things they have never seen for sale at other events in our area. What also makes the Sioux Empire Arts & Crafts show unique is that they only admit vendors selling 100% handcrafted items. There are no direct sales or buy/resell items permitted. That means shoppers

will be able to purchase in many cases one of a kind items. There is a full food truck and lunch area as well as gourmet coffee stand so shoppers that want to spend a full afternoon shopping through the more than 280 booths can stop for a snack! The first 200 shoppers each day will get a gift bag with some fun goodies. Event organizers say the W.H. Lyons Fairgrounds in Sioux Falls is the best place for their event because they need and use the entire 100,000 sq. ft. of the Expo. They encourage shoppers to park in the main new parking at the Fairgrounds lot where you would park for the Sioux Empire Fair. A few more tips: bring a stroller or shopping cart to wheel your items since you will be walking possibly long distances! Bring lots of cash because some vendors will not accept checks, and come with a list of items you are searching for!

Coast to Coast Via Sioux Falls BY RON ROBINSON
T
he Atlantic-Yellowstone-Pacific Trail was another attempt to mark a clear route across the continent, but this one was the vision of a group of Sioux Falls politicians and businessmen. And they made sure that the trail ran smack dab through the heart of the growing city. From the time Thomas Jefferson put money down for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, he and other dreamers imagined some route across the newly expanded country from the Atlantic to the Pacific. There was sound financial propulsion behind the quest. Jefferson’s thinking was that a transcontinental route would shorten the arduous voyage around the tip of South America to reach the already burgeoning West Coast and would also encourage development of the land west of the Mississippi River. Jefferson commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition in the

hope of discovering a water route, and in 1811 he initiated the first federally funded turnpike, the National Road, running from Baltimore, through Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana, to Vandalia, Illinois. It might have gone further if the money hadn’t run out due to the financial panic of 1837. Nevertheless, thousands of pioneers, including this writer’s ancestors, used the route to make their way westward. In the railroad era, the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad famously joined in Utah to make the first transcontinental rail route, but it threaded through Nebraska. Later routes to the Pacific were built through North Dakota. The state of South Dakota was left out of the transcontinental race because, according to the 1851 Ft. Laramie Treaty, the land west of the river belonged to the tribes.
LASIK loves my hobbies Then came the era of the automobile, and by 1923 most of the towns built by the railroads were also intersected by dirt or gravel roads, creating a vast network across the country, more finely woven in the East, unraveling across the plains. At the same time, Yellowstone Park, the first U. S. national park, was becoming increasingly popular as a tourist attraction. The Yellowstone Trail, cutting through the northern part of South Dakota, was the first out of the gate, and Sioux Falls and other cities were envious of the tourist traffic it brought. Why not have another, better trail that went through Sioux Falls? And while we’re at it, why not place Boston and Seattle on either end of the trail? Why not call it the Atlantic-Yellowstone-Pacific Trail? Why not, indeed. After all, no actual roads or highways need be built. The “trail” was simply a route chosen using existing roads.

Essentially, all that was needed was that the trail be marked with signs and that the route be publicized. That was no small task, of course, and seed money would be needed. But the idea caught on fast and an initial funding of some $38,000 got things off to a roaring start. Mayor George W. Burnside was for the trail, and that alone might have been enough for a lot of people to make a commitment to it. Other names associated with the project included Charles McCaffree, L. P. Courshon, W. H. Allison, B. S. Reardon, H. V. Harlan, and U. S. G. (Ulysses Simpson Grant) Cherry. Much hard work was needed to promote the road, and towns through which the trail ran were asked to lend a hand, perhaps with a few banknotes proferred in it, as well. In addition, selection of a route encouraged state and county contributions of labor and materials to improve the roads involved. The aim was to have all the roads on the route at least graveled, but even that proved a challenge. By 1929, the A. Y. P. Association could boast paved roads throughout Illinois, 260 miles of paving from Dubuque to Emmetsburg, Iowa, and most of the roads in South Dakota graveled, with the gaps being worked on or scheduled for improvement. Needless to say, tourist attractions—the city’s own falls, Mitchell’s Corn Palace, the Badlands, and the Black Hills—saw swollen numbers as a result of the trail. Postcard makers such as Canedy’s in Sioux Falls, reflected tourist tastes. The Chicago Tribune gave the trail a hardy endorsement, and President Calvin Coolidge’s 1927 summer vacation in the Black Hills gave the trail a boost, as well. Those were the days that main roads ran through the center of towns instead of the outskirts, and in Sioux Falls that meant that the trail followed 9th Street, crossing busy Phillips and Main Avenues. The A. Y. P. maintained an information booth at the Cataract Hotel where visitors could register. Some motorists chose to camp at Sherman Park, but there were plenty of options available. For the better part of two decades a standing ad in the classified section of the Argus-Leader offered a warm, cozy room for one dollar a night, five dollars for a week at the “A. Y. P. Hotel” just a couple doors north of 9th Street on Main and right next to the old Argus-Leader building. That hotel was where Helen Sieler and Floyd Parker spent their last night together before Parker was killed at the hands of Lee Bradley and was blown to smithereens while Sieler narrowly escaped death in the most spectacular crime ever in South Dakota, the Powder House Blast. The A. Y. P. Trail started fading as the federal government and many states started numbering routes instead of naming them, and the death knell came with President Dwight Eisenhower’s Interstate System. Thanks to Ike and Sen. Karl Mundt, although South Dakota is today one of the few totally without passenger rail service, Sioux Falls ended up with two Interstates—90 East-West and 29 NorthSouth—and the city became truly a transcontinental hub.

ete and Sarah Hansen both grew up in older homes, so they knew they would eventually like to share that same experience with their family. They were living in a traditional ranch-style home and “looked for a long time,” according to Sarah, before they discovered a house for sale in the historic Cathedral district. “It was perfect,” says Sarah, “because we saw the potential for projects that we could do, but there wasn’t anything that we had to do right away.” So, they bought the house and moved in two years ago. The couple has looked at a few different sources to find the home’s age, but their best estimate is that it was built sometime between 1907 and 1917. “All of the bigger projects had already been completed by the time we bought the house,” says Sarah, noting items like the refinished floors and woodwork, a new roof, as well as the updated kitchen. Without having to worry about updates like wiring, plumbing or windows, as is common when updating older homes, they could focus more on adding their own style to complement the character of the house. One structural change they did make, however, was opening up the front porch, which had previously been enclosed. They removed the door, along with the glass from the large windows that face the front yard. Most of the original bright blue floor boards remain, and in the center strip that needed a little refurbishing, they integrated boards that they had gotten when Pete’s parents opened their porch this summer, which is from the same era. Additional boards from Pete’s parents, along with some wood that came from Sarah’s parents’ home was used to create a wall-sized shadow box in the main entryway. A small, red bench seat that had been made from a dresser was a flea marketing find. They believe it dates back to the late 1800s based on the square-head nails. Similar to other homes of the early 20th century, there is a small room off the entry

that was likely a parlor or receiving room for guests. That space now serves as an office for Pete and features a desk he made from repurposed wood and industrial metal legs. The walls had been painted a textured pale yellow above a chair rail with floral fabric covering the bottom section. When they pulled off the fabric and saw the wall wasn’t textured, they decided to paint the top a neutral brown and add a leather-style fabric below, which is fitting for an office space. The couple found old barrister bookcases at the estate sale of a former judge in Pipestone and also added an old piano to the office. “We got the piano from a family friend,” says Sarah, “and we learned that it had originally come from a saloon in Hill City.” Another interesting artifact in the office is a framed vintage map of the city of Sioux Falls. The Hansens found it at a flea market in Beresford, which is Sarah’s hometown, and it just happened to have been drawn up the month she was born. On the other side of the entryway is the

living room featuring a beautiful four-piece curved sofa, which is a favorite nap spot for the family’s dog, Ranger. They updated the paint color in the living room and dining room, and Pete also added crown molding to fit the character of the house. Walking into the dining room, there is no question that the focal point is the wall-sized oak McCray ice box, with a center mirrored door and 6 glass doors surrounding it. The Hansens believe they have it traced back to a woman who came to the Dakotas from Baltimore. “It’s so heavy that we reinforced the floor below it just to be safe,” laughs Sarah. The walls of the dining room feature photos of the homestead founded around 1872 by Sarah’s family. One collection of pictures is displayed on the glass panes of an old window that hangs on the wall. Other photos are mounted on a piece of old barn wood, hung near Sarah’s grandmother’s painting of a snowy farm scene. “I bring that painting out each year once the weather starts to turn a little colder,” Sarah says.

Between the dining room and kitchen is a space that was likely a butler’s pantry back in the day; however, it has since been converted to a cozy kitchen nook with built-in cabinets and a booth for seating, which Sarah says is perfect for their kids, ages 16, 14, 8 and 6. The grey and white kitchen had also been redone before the Hansens moved in. The high ceilings give the quaint kitchen a more open feel. At the back corner of the kitchen is a simple water closet. The Hansens home was recently featured on a tour of historic homes, and they met a gentleman during the tour who
was quite familiar with the home’s history, having grown up there in the 1930s, and told them there used to be a staircase in that spot that led up to the second floor. For an older home, the four bedrooms on the second floor are quite spacious. The two younger boys, Archer and Ira, share a room with bunk beds with framed art giving a nod to baseball and Star Wars. Oscar’s room features a vintage Monopoly game on its own stand, as well as original Star Wars movie posters (Episodes IV, V and VI) that Pete’s mom had kept for years. Madison chose pink

for her room and assisted with choosing the décor. For the master bedroom, Sarah made a large headboard from old barn wood and created a photo display from a section of picket fence, twine and tiny clothespins to hold pictures of the kids from their younger days. At one time, she says, there had been a small balcony that extended off the master bathroom. They plan to remove the section of glass blocks on the frontfacing wall, install French doors and put the porch back up. “It will be so nice to have that little walk-out balcony,” says Sarah. “We have a big tree in the front, and it will be so pretty to watch that change during all of the seasons.” The home has a walk-up attic, which is currently being used as a storage space; however, the Hansens have set 2020 as their timeline for renovating that space so the kids have a fun place to hang out. Currently, the kids can spread out in the finished basement, which is unique for an older house. “Before we moved in, maybe five years ago or so,” says Sarah, “the house was lifted up in order to pour a basement. It was finished off and carpeted, so that was a real selling point for us.” There is family room space for the kids, as well as a storage room, laundry room and a three-quarter bath. With the changing seasons and winter around the corner, they’ll look forward to spring coming again so they can get out to the backyard and enjoy Pete’s handiwork – a pergola he built over the back patio and a deck built over the free-standing garage. While they were initially just seeking the character and charm of an older home, choosing the Cathedral district is actually more meaningful. The Hansens have now become a part of preserving our city’s history in this neighborhood of houses that have reached, or passed, the centennial mark. They look forward to adding their story to the generations who lived in this house before them.

Once again it’s time to be thinking of Christmas baking and candy making. I will admit that these are not new recipes to the magazine. As there are many new readers, I would like to share a couple of my favorites that I make every year. Enjoy your time in the kitchen.
Oreo Truffles
Easy Chocolate Drops
1 pound of Oreo Cookies ( the original type, chocolate with white cream center) 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened 1 pound chocolate candy coating
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup butterscotch chips 1 cup shoestring potato sticks 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
Using a food processor, grind the cookies to a fine powder. With your mixer, blend the cookie powder and cream cheese until there are no white traces of cream cheese.
In a double boiler, melt chips until smooth. Stir in the potato sticks and peanuts and drop onto waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Refrigerate for 15-20 or until set. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 3 dozen.
Roll this mixture into small balls and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets and refrigerate for an hour.
Maryclaire’s Peanut Butter Fudge
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and thoroughly dip the Oreo balls. Place dipped candy on cookie sheets and cool. You may melt and drizzle white chocolate over the top if desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

everal years ago (back in November 2011 to be precise) I wrote in the pages of this fine publication about the typical side dishes that accompany the classic Norman Rockwell-style Thanksgiving dinner. In that article, I professed my love for the old-school green bean casserole. Yep, the one made from the recipe on the back of the cream of mushroom soup can. Subsequently, several of you dear readers gave me a hard time for declaring my affection for such a humble dish. I stand by my claim; the recipe created by Ms. Dorcas Reilly while she

It’s savory and salty, crunchy and creamy, and is practically the definition of comfort food. I did make what I felt were a few simple improvements; I added garlic, caramelized onions and a few fresh mushrooms, while otherwise sticking with the tried and true. But in response to the grief I received, I set out to improve on this classic. It’s good as it is, but what if I substituted fresh green

beans for the canned? Eureka! A big upgrade was as simple as swapping out canned for fresh. I was on a roll. That Thanksgiving dinner was made better with that easy change. Moving ahead to Christmas when I made it again, I went further and made my own cream of mushroom soup to use as the base. With that change, I had stepped up the green bean casserole game to the next level. But why stop there? I kept tweaking and changing and improving and now I have a recipe worth sharing.

I went further and made my own cream of mushroom soup to use as the base. With that change, I had stepped up the green bean casserole game to the next level. But why stop there? I kept tweaking and changing and improving and now I have a recipe worth sharing.
Green Bean Casserole 3.0 Here’s what you’ll need for what I call Green Bean Casserole 3.0 1 pound fresh green beans 1 pound fresh mushrooms (a mix of cremini and shitake or oyster mushrooms is best) 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1/2 a white onion, diced fine 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup mushroom or vegetable broth 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons soy sauce Salt and pepper to taste
Let’s get started! Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel then slice half of them into quarter-inch slices, and dice the other half. Clean the green beans and cut into 2-inch pieces. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the beans for about 4 to 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, drain and then put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms about 4 to 5 minutes or until they begin to brown and give up most of their liquid. Remove mushrooms and set aside with the beans, leaving any moisture in the pan. Add remaining butter, diced mushrooms, onion, garlic and a pinch of salt to the same pan. Sauté 4 to 5 minutes until onion is translucent and mushrooms have given up liquid. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for another minute or so. Add the broth and stir well, scraping up any bits that may have stuck to the pan, and cook for about a minute. Turn the heat down to just below medium and add the cream and soy sauce. At this point, I like to add copious amounts of freshcracked black pepper, but that’s up to you. You can add a little or a lot or leave it out altogether. Cook and stir occasionally until it thickens; about 5 to 8 minutes. Now combine the mushroom cream sauce with the green beans and sliced mushrooms in an oven-safe casserole dish. At this point, you can put the whole thing in the fridge until about a half hour before you’re ready to serve.

If you feel like you’ve taken this dish far enough, cover the top of the casserole with store-bought fried onions. No one will think less of you. But since you’ve come this far, let’s make the fried onions too! This is what will make you the king or queen of Thanksgiving.
Fresh French Fried Onions 1 large onion, halved, then thinly sliced 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon kosher salt Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large bowl and toss well to coat the onions. Coat a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the coated onions evenly on the pan and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown, tossing twice during cooking. If you have a convection oven, use that setting and then you’ll only need to cook about 25 minutes. When they’re done, remove from oven and set aside until you’re ready to get back to the casserole. About a half hour before dinner (or when the turkey comes out of the oven) sprinkle the top of the casserole with your fried onions and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until it’s bubbly. Take it straight from the oven to the table and wait for the compliments as everyone realizes that what they assumed was the traditional humble dish has been reinvented as a culinary star!
Ninety percent of American households will cook a turkey this Thanksgiving; I assume you’re one of them. So ask yourself this; are you ready to take the Thanksgiving challenge and make your side dish worthy of its prominent place next to the turkey? I thought so. Maybe next year you can take on upgrading the cranberry sauce or convince the family to swap the turkey for a crown roast of pork. One step at time, my friends, one step at a time! Do yourself a favor, eat something good today! When he’s not preparing the holiday feast you can find Jim at ADwërks, an ad agency he runs in downtown Sioux Falls.

ecaps occur all the time. Sports broadcasters recap a game. Company managers recap meetings with staff. People recap their vacations on Facebook. I thought I would recap or, in this case, recork my wine seminar from the expo for her last month. For those of you who missed this great event, I can’t provide you the wine we enjoyed, but I can provide you a play-by-play of what we learned. After pouring everyone a white wine and red wine, we proceeded to do what is called a blind tasting. Doing a blind tasting of wines is probably one of the most effective and educational ways to improve your palate as you try to discern the nuances of a wine using your senses. What tasting blind (it’s not actually done blindfolded) means is tasting a wine that has been poured for you without you witnessing which bottled it was poured out of. Most of us, including myself, rely on our sensory memory to “predict” what aromas we might smell or what flavors we might taste in a Pinot Noir, for example.

VINO
But when you don’t know anything about the wine sitting in front of you, except for that it is red or white, you have to depend on your senses to do the detective work. Here are some tips on how to identify a mystery wine by using all of your senses: First up is your sense of sight. Using your eyes to help you identify a wine is greatly underestimated. There is lots of information that can be gathered by simply looking at the unidentified wine. Start with the color. Wines have a distinct color according to the variety of grape used in its production. Rieslings tend to be very light and almost white, while Chardonnays have a more full golden hue. Gewurtztraminers look like an apricot melted into your glass. Pinot Noir is a very light colored red grape, while Cabernet has distinct purple hues, and Grenache displays inky, black depths. Also note the viscosity, which is displayed by the way the wine clings to the side of the glass. A wine high in viscosity will have higher levels of glycerine, an indication of both sweetness and body. Crisp, clean whites will run down the sides into the bottom

of the glass where a full or sweet wine will slide slowly down. Viscosity is also a good way to judge the level of alcohol. A high alcohol content is evidenced by the “tears” or “legs” of the wine, which gently run down the side of the glass when you swirl the wine. Wines high in alcohol have well-defined legs that crawl slowly back towards the wine. A general rule to follow is that wines from warm growing regions are higher in alcohol than wines from cooler climates. Wondering if the white you are tasting is a Riesling from Germany or Australia? Well, Australia is warm and Germany is (relatively) not, so how high is the alcohol content? Next, on to your nose and your sense of smell. The aroma of the wine is the most important factor in determining what the wine is. The palate can differentiate only 5 different tastes, but the nose can identify up to 180 different aromas. Grape varietals have certain characteristics that are common to wines made of that grape. Chardonnays smell like golden apples and tropical fruits. Pinot Noirs have aromas of flowers and red fruits. While you don’t

need to be able to say, “This wine has passion fruit, it must be a Chardonnay,” any fruits or spices that you can memorize will help you to ascertain the wine’s origin. One thing to remember is that sense memory is based on memory. If you have never had a Chardonnay, how can you expect to remember what it smells like? Practice is very important. There are several clues to be found in the scent. Does the wine smell hot? That can be an indicator of high alcohol, which, as we know, is an indicator of climate. Do you smell a lot of fruit or more earth? Wines from the new world (Australia, the U.S., and South America) tend to be very fruit forward. On the other hand, wines from the “old world” regions of western Europe tend to have more complex earthen aromas. These are not hard and fast rules, but guidelines. They do, however, bring a few more pieces to the puzzle. Your sense of taste is next as you sip the wine. Roll it around the inside of your mouth so that it coats all parts of your tongue. Each part of the tongue identifies different sensations, so it is important to hit them all. Can you taste any residual sugar? Is the wine high in acidity or tannins? Is it simple or complex? Is it of a low or high quality? These and many other questions can be answered with the palate. Certain grapes are high in residual sugar such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Gewurtztraminer. Others are high in tannins such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo. A wine that has just one flavor or aroma is called simple, while

wines with many flavors and aromas are considered to be complex. Complexity is a sign of quality. These are all clues to the wine’s origin, style, and age. Let’s not forget your sense of touch. There is always a certain “feel” a wine has in terms of its style that could possibly give you a clue as to its origin. A full-bodied wine will feel heavy, while a light-bodied wine will feel transparent. At the end you must add everything that you have learned about the wine and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Making a correct assessment of a glass of wine is never easy. Do not get discouraged by wrong answers. Practicing this blind tasting method will help develop your sense of sight, smell, and taste as well as develop your sensory memory as you discover the identity of the wines you taste.

SHOULDER Pain Relief BY ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE
T
he shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, and given the number of everyday activities it’s involved in—from brushing your hair to reaching up into the cupboard—it’s easy to see why shoulder pain is something you’d want to get to the bottom of right away. Shoulder pain can be due to osteoarthritis, muscle tears, tendonitis, and several other causes. The many possibilities are owed to the anatomy involved in allowing your shoulder to do what it does. It allows you to move your arms 360 degrees, and also provides the stability needed for all the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments in your shoulders and arms to work together. All this range of motion increases the likelihood of shoulder pain and mobility issues, especially as we age. Here are the top causes of shoulder pain, and what you need to know to start feeling better.
Shoulder Osteoarthritis Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage that lines the sides of the shoulder joint is worn or torn away. It’s seen most often in people over age 50, but can occur in younger people as a result of injury or trauma. It’s time to see a doctor if you’re experiencing: • Shoulder weakness or stiffness that seems to come and go • Pain with activity that gets better with rest • Decreased shoulder movement (range of motion) - especially when reaching back • Difficulty sleeping as the condition worsens

HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Rotator Cuff Tears The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within your shoulder socket. Rotator cuff tears occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports - but can occur as a result of a single injury. It’s time to see a doctor if you’re experiencing: • Pain and/or weakness when lifting your arm • Pain at rest and at night, particularly if lying on the affected shoulder • Pain or weakness when lifting and lowering your arm Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder) This condition is just how it sounds - “frozen shoulder” causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder muscles and joints that make it difficult or impossible to move. This condition can last for years and develops in three stages: 1. “Freezing” - In this stage you slowly have more and more pain. As the pain worsens, your shoulder loses range of motion. Freezing typically lasts from 6 weeks to 9 months. 2. “Frozen” - In this stage painful symptoms may actually improve, but stiffness remains. During the 4 to 6 months of the “frozen” stage, daily activities may be very difficult. 3. “Thawing” - shoulder motion slowly improves during this stage. Complete return to normal or close to normal strength and motion typically takes from 6 months to 2 years.

Chronic Shoulder Instability Have you ever dislocated your shoulder? Chronic shoulder instability occurs when the head of the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket, usually as a result of a sudden injury or from overuse. Once a shoulder has dislocated the chances of it happening again increase - and can be the reason for repeated dislocations. It’s time to see a doctor if you’re experiencing: • Pain caused by shoulder injury • Repeated shoulder dislocations • Repeated instances of the shoulder giving out • A persistent sensation of the shoulder feeling loose, slipping in and out of the joint, or just “hanging there” At Orthopedic Institute, our shoulder specialists are highly trained and many of them have completed fellowship training in shoulder surgery, joint replacement and sports medicine. Shoulder issues are seen every day at Orthopedic Institute. Call 605-3315890 to make an appointment or learn more on the website, www. orthopedicinstitutesf.com

Fight the Flu — GET THE SHOT BY SANFORD HEALTH
E
very fall you’ll hear the same conversations. Some people are all for it. Some are against it. Others have never even tried it. It’s the flu shot and it’s your best bet for skipping out on a potentially serious illness. “The flu isn’t just a bad cold. It is a viral illness that can cause severe and even fatal complications,” explains Fernando Bula-Rudas, MD, an infectious diseases specialist at Sanford Children’s. “You could have a fever, muscle pains, cough, runny nose and respiratory distress. This can be especially severe on those over 65 and kids under the age of 2.” To prevent your little ones from dealing with these symptoms, Dr. Bula-Rudas recommends the flu vaccine for everyone who is able to receive it.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING
“Most people can receive the flu shot,” explains Dr. Bula-Rudas. “Those exceptions include babies under 6 months old and people with severe, life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient in the vaccine. To help protect those people from the flu, the best thing you can do is get vaccinated.” The flu vaccine is a completely safe and tested product that contains an inactivated, or dead, virus. It is geared toward the strains of the virus that experts believe will be the most active during the season. “This is a very safe vaccine,” says Dr. Bula-Rudas. “And you cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine. Some people who say they get sick after receiving it, probably already had the virus inside them causing them to become ill.”

If you or your child do end up with the flu, there are some symptoms you should watch out for. “Be on the lookout for a very high fever, fast breathing and if they aren’t interested in eating,” says Dr. Bula-Rudas. “If you see these things in your child, bring them in. We can check their vitals and see if they need any fluids. You can also give your kids acetaminophen to help decrease the fever and encourage them to drink plenty of fluids.”

ordering Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there is a mountain town in eastern Tennessee called Gatlinburg. A well-known tourist destination, Gatlinburg has many attractions that offer stunning views of the roughly 520,000-acre neighboring park. High above the town, there is a giant layer of rock known as the Anakeesta Formation on Anakeesta Mountain. It encompasses many of the peaks within the Smoky Mountains surrounding the town, including Charlie’s Bunion, Chimney Tops, and Mount Kephart. Anakeesta is a word deriving from the Cherokee Indians referring to high ground, meaning “the place of the balsams.” There is also a tourist attraction located on 70 acres of forested land in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg called Anakeesta, which

You can enter via the scenic Anakeesta Chondola, which is the first of its kind to be built in the United States and offers an open air 4-person chair or an enclosed gondola cabin for 6 people. The ride takes you soaring above Gatlinburg, up 600 feet to the summit of Anakeesta Mountain, where you will enter the Firefly Village. This treehouse-themed shopping and dining oasis is where you can enjoy a house specialty at Cliff Top Grill & Bar, and a glass of wine at the Bar at the Top of the World. Visit the 1940s themed Pearl’s Pie in the Sky and enjoy a scoop of hand-dipped ice cream, and savor some of the Anakeesta Smokehouse smoked BBQ, served with Alabama hot slaw and spicy BBQ sauce.
The Adventure Outpost is the place to find adventure, starting with the Dueling Ziplines where you’ll race side-by-side with a partner on one of the three controlled descents, then ride the Chondola back to Firefly Village.

Paper Plate Apple and Worm Materials: Red paper plate, scissors, Exacto knife, yarn, a quarter, glue, black marker, green marker, brown marker, eye stickers, tape. Instructions: Cut a simple apple shape out of your paper plate. Using the bigger piece of plate that was cut off, form an apple leaf with your scissors and color this green. The smaller piece of plate that was cut off can be the brown apple stalk. Next, cut out some holes in the apple for your worm to move through. (An Exacto knife and a quarter might help you with this process.) Glue your apple leaf and stalk to the top of the apple. Next, fold four of the circles you cut out in half, then glue them slightly overlapping each other in a row. This will be your worm. Cut a long piece of yarn and starting with the cut end, lay it along the fold line of the circles you glued together. Then glue the circle halves shut, so the yarn is inside of the worm. To make the worm’s head, cut smaller circles so that they fit through the holes of the apple, then add some eye stickers and a smile. Glue the head to the end of the worm’s body that has no yarn coming out of it. Finish your apple and worm by taping the open end of the yarn to the back of the paper plate, then let your children lace the worm through all of the holes in the apple!
Fall Leaf Owls Materials: Construction paper, black marker, scissors, and fall leaves. Instructions: Take your kids outside and let them pick out their favorite fall leaves. Use this as a chance to educate them on why the leaves change color and fall to the ground. Try to find two similar leaves for each owl you want to create. Bring the leaves inside and wipe them off to make sure they are clean and dry. Cut 3 inch circles from various colors of construction paper. These will be the body of your owl. Next, cut small triangles from orange and yellow construction paper, and small circles from white paper. Use a black marker to turn the white circles into eyes. Next, choose which leaves you will use for each owl, and glue one on each side of a 3 inch circle. The leaves will be the owl’s wings. Glue the eyes onto the middle top of the circle, between the two leaves. Next, glue a triangle above each eye, and one between and below the eyes. These will be the beak and the finishing details for your owl. Let dry completely before displaying in your home for the season.

Fall Leaf Puppets Materials: Fall leaves, contact paper, black marker, scissors, eye stickers, glue, and popsicle sticks. Instructions: Collect large leaves, then cut the stems off of them. Cut some sticky contact paper out, and lay it down with the sticky side up. Place your stemless leaves on the sticky paper, making sure they are far enough from the edges and other leaves. This will allow you to press the top and bottom layers of the paper together. Cut another piece of contact paper out in a similar size to the other piece, then lay that sticky side down on top of the leaves. Cut out the leaves from the contact paper, leaving a centimeter around the edge of the leaf. Glue eyes and a popsicle stick onto the leaf, then draw on the rest of your face. You now have an easy leaf puppet for your kids to enjoy.

here was a time when newborn babies were whisked to the hospital nursery, soon after delivery, so their exhausted moms could rest. Those days are no more – and for good reason. The more time mom and baby can spend together in those precious first hours and days, the better. “It created a burdensome situation to have a new mom who had to get up and go to another room to see her new son or daughter,” said Kimberlee McKay, MD, an Avera Medical Group obstetrics/ gynecology specialist and Clinical Vice President of Avera’s OBGYN Service Line. “The old approach with the nursery didn’t help

The mom-and-baby-together approach is much more baby-friendly, and it can help in that critical period of time as they begin to bond. breast feeding and the mother’s mood, so we began to see a shift from nurseries to in-room, bedside stays for baby.”
Why It Makes Sense Newborn nurseries still play a role in post-partum stays at Avera hospitals, including Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center. But rooming-in, as the practice is called, is encouraged whenever possible. In fact, most of the exams and evaluations that once took place away from the new parents can be done right in mom’s hospital room. This includes the head-totoe assessment that is often completed several times during the baby’s first few days. “We can do these evaluations with the mom and baby together. As a mom, you want to have that information and learn about your new child in real time,” McKay said. “So that’s another advantage.” Many treatments, such as ultraviolet light for jaundiced babies can take place in the room. Women do need rest after delivery, so nurseries are still available if a new mom wants to get some uninterrupted sleep. “For all these reasons, Avera has moved toward the in-room approach across the board,” said McKay. “The mom-and-babytogether approach is much more baby-friendly, and it can help in that critical period of time as they begin to bond.”
One Nurse For Both Traditional approaches in obstetrics saw a pair of nurses giving care to the mother and child. “One nurse for both mom and baby is ideal, because you have continuity of care and we’ve eliminated any issues that might come from communications between two people,” she said. “One nurse can be more accustomed to both mother and child as patients. They can help as they build their bond.” McKay said that success in breastfeeding is among the most advantageous parts of rooming in. A mom can hear her baby’s cues and respond. “Five minutes can make a big difference. In the old model with a nursery, a baby might be hungry and crying but would have to wait to be brought to mom’s room. Not anymore,” said McKay. “The lessons new moms can learn in those first hours and during that first day are extremely valuable.” Those lessons are especially important for first-time moms, who can begin their lifelong learning about being a mother sooner. “Nursery care was seen as a way to help moms rest after delivery, but we find moms rest better at home,” said McKay. “Back in the day, new moms were told ‘Rest, dear.’ But now we know their togetherness is a critical part of the growing family’s health.”

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.
No No Yes Yes by Leslie Patricelli Yanking cat by tail: no NO. Gentle pat on back: yes YES. And it’s funny how dumping a bowl of food gets a very different reaction from mastering the use of a spoon. An expressive baby demonstrates familiar behaviors — and their predictable responses — in an amusing board book that merits a giant YES! Ages 0 mos - 3 yrs candlewickpress.com
Bear Moves author: Ben Bailey Smith illustrator: Sav Akyuz Get up, get down, hit the ground . . . Bear’s in a dancing mood, and his friend Bunny is happy to help out with the boom box. With moves like Furry Breaking, Running Bear (you run but don’t go anywhere), and the classic back spin, who could blame observers who might want to bust a move of their own? Actor/rapper Ben Bailey Smith (aka Doc Brown) and artist Sav Akyuz team up again for a lively two-step with the multitalented Bear. In a high-energy sequel to I Am Bear, the dance-loving star rolls out a variety of dance moves and inspires kids to try some of their own. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

CHILDREN’S BOOKS
Baby Happy Baby Sad by Leslie Patricelli A towering ice-cream cone makes Baby happy. But when that delectable treat goes splat, it makes Baby sad. And how quickly happy turns to sad when a favorite red balloon flies away! Even the littlest listeners will relate to this playful look at a pair of emotions that are part of every baby’s day. YES! This must-have toddler title sheds light on some concepts with a comical flair that will make readers happy. Ages 0 mos - 3 yrs candlewickpress.com
Mouse House by John Burningham Every night, a family — a mom, dad, boy, and girl — have supper and go to bed. But they’re not alone. Every night, after that family is asleep, a secret mouse family emerges to find food for their supper, and the mouse children start to play. Then one night it happens: the boy spots a mouse, and his father calls the mouse catcher. Concerned, the children write a note to the mice (“your lives are in danger”), and the mouse family flees to the backyard, where the boy and girl leave tiny swings and a trampoline they’ve made for the mice to play on. But as winter approaches and the children no longer see the mice frolicking outside in the evenings, they start to wonder. Where could the mice have gone? Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs candlewickpress.com
Josie’s Lost Tooth by Jennifer K. Mann Josie is the monkey-bars champion, the first one to read a whole book by herself, and the second-fastest runner in her class. But she’s the worst at losing teeth —the only kid in her class who still has all her baby teeth! One night, Josie finally feels a tooth wiggle, just a little, and she can’t wait to show her best friend, Richard. But nothing makes the tooth fall out — not hanging upside down, chomping on an apple, or even pulling on the tooth with a string — until Josie trips and goes splat and the tooth is lost for good. Now what can she leave under her pillow for the tooth fairy? Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com
Hello, Horse by Vivian French A little boy isn’t sure if he likes horses, but his friend Catherine assures him that her horse will like him. Shannon is very big, but she’s beautiful, throwing her head up and looking at him with her dark eyes as if she knows everything there is to know. Catherine patiently teaches the boy how to talk to a horse quietly, how to feed her carrots, how to lead her across a field, even how to blow at her softly to show that he likes her. But is he really ready to climb up on Shannon’s back and take a ride? Facts about horses are sprinkled throughout to satisfy inquisitive readers. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com
Dreamland by Noah Klocek Amelie loves everything about bedtime: wrapping up in her favorite blanket, listening to bedtime stories, and most of all, dreaming. But finding her dreams is not always easy, and she often has to set out in search of them. As Amelie ventures into the surreal world that lingers behind her closed eyes, she overcomes cold toes, too-bright moonshine, tangled blankets, hidden shadows, and ticking clocks to finally uncover her favorite dreams. From illustrator and production designer Noah Klocek comes a breathtaking depiction of a half-asleep landscape sure to lure readers into a dreamland of their own. Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs candlewickpress.com
Esos zapatos by Maribeth Boelts All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. Though Jeremy’s grandma says they don’t have room for “want,” just “need,” when his old shoes fall apart at school he is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop version that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has — warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend — are worth more than the things he wants. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs
Do You Believe in Unicorns? by Bethanie Deeney Murguia Is that a horse wearing a hat? It’s definitely not a unicorn in disguise — that would be ridiculous, right? It’s probably just a horse that’s having a bad hair day. Or trying to keep the sun out of its eyes. Or perhaps this horse just really likes hats! If you follow it long enough, maybe it will take off its hat and you’ll finally know for sure. Or will you? It’s all a matter of perspective in this cheerful, cheeky story about seeing magic in the everyday. Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs candlewickpress.com
The Mouse Who Wasn’t Scared by Petr Horácek Rabbit warns Little Mouse about playing in the woods for fear of big, frightening animals, but Little Mouse isn’t scared of anything. She walks deep into the forest, bouncing on toadstools, hiding in the shadows, and jumping off logs. She encounters plenty of big animals, but Little Mouse isn’t afraid...or is she? A cleverly placed flap reveals that Little Mouse’s fears might not be big and scary — but they are cute and fluffy! Readers will eagerly follow Little Mouse on her journey through the dark forest in this entertaining woodland offering from Petr Horácek. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

Senior Pets – “Aging is not a Disease”
Harper, best friend of the Grapevines
Cats & dogs, on average, become “senior pets” at 7 years of age. And as your pet ages, you may start noticing some lifestyle or behavior changes that could signal a problem or need attention. If you notice any of these signs in your pet, give your veterinarian a call. • Change in weight (especially weight loss) • Change in appetite (usually less, but hyperthyroid cats will eat more) • Drinking more water • Changes in urination & defecation (changes in frequency, color, amount) • New lumps, bumps or swellings (or changes in existing ones) • Weakness or sudden collapse • Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping • Bad odor in mouth or drooling • Seizures • Disorientation
