CLEAN EATING BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY
Y
ou have likely seen a wealth of news reports, social media reports or cookbook titles about “clean eating.” A Sioux Falls foursome has set out to show people that clean eating is not a buzzword or a fad, but rather, a common-sense lifestyle. At Daily Clean Food & Drink, you’ll see Steve, Patsy, Shaley and Jeb preparing food and drinks fresh daily, using local and organic ingredients whenever possible. “Our approach is really to cut fresh,
8 out and about |
CONCIERGE
prepare fresh and serve fresh every day,” says Shaley. “We focus on whole foods, organic foods, fruits and vegetables, whole grains – and avoid processed foods and sugar. We believe it’s important for people to know where their food comes from because that matters to the environment and to our health.” Daily Clean opened in November in The Wedge building on south Western Avenue, and the bright décor is as clean as their
food. With high ceilings, big windows and the “wedge” angles of the building, it has a very contemporary feel that is warmed up with yellow wall color and yellow subway tiles at the counter, along with a collection of bare Edison bulbs strung across one of the seating areas. The team was also thinking “functional” as they designed the two-level restaurant, with a combination of tables, booths and a long bar table near the window, along with
Winter Hours: Monday-Friday 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday 10 am. to 3 p.m. 6215 S. Western Avenue Sioux Falls, SD 57108 (605) 271-1736 @DailyCleanFoodandDrink #cleanfoodclub www.dailycleanfood.com
charging stations conveniently located throughout the space. When it came to designing their menu, their goal was to provide patrons with a wide variety of options to meet their daily health needs. So, they have something for everyone – vegetarian, vegan, glutenfree, keto, paleo, low carb, low sugar, low calories, dairy-free, grain-free and nut-free (note: while they offer gluten- and nutfree options, they want patrons to know
they are not an allergen-free facility). Set up in a fast-casual style where you order at the counter and then are served your food at the table, Daily Clean can customize its electronic menu board to change their offerings with the seasons. Shaley is responsible for many of the recipes and discovered clean eating and cooking during her own health journey. “We use all organic produce,” she says. “We try to stay local as much as possible,
but during the winter months, we may have to find other options that may not be readily available in South Dakota. But, that just gives us the opportunity to try new recipes!” A large wall hanging showcases the local and organic ingredients used in their food and beverages. Local foods include their red beets, peppers, blueberries, eggs, milk, cheese curds, parsley and oregano and Breadsmith breads, to name just a few. The poster lists five columns of organic ingredients from apples to vegan Worcestershire sauce. The morning features include oats or granola with different toppings; the EggOcado, which is a modern egg bake using the avocado as an edible bowl; and Morning Rounds personal-sized quiches. Daily Clean also proves that toast doesn’t have to be boring. Starting with Breadsmith Marathon Multigrain Bread, you can choose from options like the popular “Holy Guacamole” with avocado, tomato, feta cheese and fresh micro greens (which are growing in the walk-in cooler), or the Loaded PB& J with peanut or almond better, raspberry, granola and agave. For a savory twist on toast, try the Bread Zeppelin with their house-made hummus, arugula, butternut squash and a balsamic reduction. The toast options are served daily from open until 4:30 p.m. The “Good Afternoon” menu is available from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., with a wide
etc. for her | January 2019 9
array of salads, daily soups made from scratch, entrée items like salmon cakes, Buffaloaf or a Banh mi sandwich, and their customizable “bowl” dishes. Start with a style – a variety of Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean and other flavor profiles that includes veggies and a housemade sauce. The styles have clever names like Tongue Thai’d, Butternut Buddha and El Diario. Next, choose a base of spiralized zucchini “zoodles,’ cauliflower rice, wild rice or quinoa. From there, you

can add a protein such as hard-boiled eggs, grilled chicken, sushi grade tuna, smoked salmon, buffalo meatballs or their tasty garbonz-faux meat option. The final step, if you choose, is to add a dairy or vegan cheese. Pair your meal with a cup of organic fair-trade coffee, tea or espresso drink. Or, Daily Clean also has a selection of local rotator beers and wine options. As with their foods, they serve gluten-free and organic varieties. If you need a sweet
treat, be sure to try the hemp seed bars, the vegan “no bake” cookie dough or other daily treats available at the counter. While the weather is still chilly, you can also enjoy your hot coffee or tea in one of the comfy chairs on the second level, but the Daily Clean team is already dreaming of spring when they will expand their hours with clean dinner options and patio seating. Enjoy healthful, clean eating – daily!

HE event to help you get through one of the long winter nights in Sioux Falls! For twenty-three years, the Teddy Bear Den has been assisting women and children in Sioux Falls and has stood by their mission of healthier pregnancies, healthier babies and a healthier community the entire time. When you talk about raising funds to assist the 1592 limitedincome pregnant women enrolled in our program Celebrity Night Out is the best plan you could have. This event gathers 300 guests at our new location, Minnehaha Country Club for dinner, music by the Hegg Brothers and an auction of 60 fun, exciting packages: Carpenter Bar Sunday Funday brunch for 20, fishing with Ted Takasaki, Stogeez and Bin 201 party for 24, chefs for your home party, turkey hunting, Landscape Garden Center Harvest party for 50, Green Bay Packers game, cabins in the Black Hills along with many of them including other celebrities such as Senators and musicians.

Celebrity Night Out raises 1/3 of the Den’s yearly budget and assists us with providing the new baby items for our women. The Sioux Falls community has stood by the Teddy Bear Den and our participants for twenty years and make our program a success and the women and children in our community healthy and happy.

46th Annual Tribute to Women benefiting all EmBe programs Thursday, April 18, 2019 Sioux Falls Convention Center
INSPIRING. MEANINGFUL. MOTIVATING. A
ll of these words describe our 2018 Tribute winners. But they also describe the people who nominated them. Over the past 46 years, the Tribute to Women event has been celebrating the people who have made great achievements in their careers or public and community service. These achievements are incredible and meaningful contributions to our region. Em Be, formerly the YWCA, has led this annual tradition of saluting people of all ages and industries, taking note of accomplishments and impacts from innovative healthcare research to creating a corporate culture that encourages women to rise and thrive. The categories are designed to recognize people in all walks of life and all phases of their careers. From healthcare, banking and community service to the Sylvia Henkin Mentoring award, the categories reinforce the breadth of abilities and achievements that happen in our community every day. With Sylvia Henkin’s passing in April of 2018, this is an especially poignant time to
consider honoring someone of who helps lift others. As the YWCA Communication Person of the Year in 1975, her life embodied what Tribute continues to hold true: that empowering another is something we all can — and should — do. “Honored, humbled, and inspired is how I would best describe my experience at EmBe’s Tribute to Women event,” said Sarah McGuire, Director of Operations at American Bank & Trust, of her experience being selected as the 2018 Young Woman of Achievement. “In previous years, I remember thinking what a great honor receiving a Tribute award would be and aspired to one day be part of this group. Being nominated as a Young Woman of Achievement was an amazing experience I will always cherish. Being in a behind the scenes role, this award held extra meaning to me and was an emotional experience. I’m honestly still in shock but am forever grateful to those that nominated me, EmBe, all the support I received, and for the overall experience.”

With people like Sarah’s experience in mind, we challenge everyone to think about the people they admire: co-workers, mentors, community drivers, future leaders. Then, consider the categories and nomination process. A great nomination entails gathering details, sharing stories of impact and share the ways that your nominee has made their workplace or the community a better place. Your investment of time not only show the nominee how much they are valued but provides an example to others that lifting others up is a worth endeavor. Julie Nelson, SVP of Business Development at American Bank & Trust, was one of Sarah McGuire’s nominators and said, “Nominating an individual for EmBe’s Tribute event is very fulfilling. Recognizing the accomplishments and contributions of amazing team members inspires and propels humble individuals to empowered leadership. Committed individuals who work “behind the scenes” to solicit input, value differences and deliver excellence are deserving of this recognition. It was easy for me to tell Sarah’s story and she won the Young Woman of Achievement honor. I was thrilled for her, as her friendship and contribution to American Bank & Trust is a blessing to our entire team.” “Nominating someone for Tribute is a beautiful way to honor their community contributions,” said Karen Lundquist, EmBe CEO. “We are grateful for the time and insight that is offered and are continuing our inclusion of the nominator in telling our winner’s stories. It’s a wonderful experience for everyone involved, adding depth and
richness to existing relationships through the nominating process.” The impact of being nominated leaves a lasting impact. Whether an individual is the honoree in their category or not, knowing others are willing to invest their time in recognizing their work is humbling and deepens relationships. Pat McAdaragh, President and CEO of Midco, stated, “My passion for making sure women are part of our leadership solutions at our organization and in our industry led to my receipt of the EmBeliever award. I believe it’s important not only to talk about making a difference, but to personally drive change. The Tribute awards are a great way to recognize and reinforce the great things that are happening in our region, and I strongly encourage everyone to consider nominating someone in 2019.” Tribute nominations will be accepted starting January 7 through February 26. Nomination forms and event information can be found at embe.org/tribute. Award categories: Business Achievement, Banking & Finance, Government & Law, Healthcare & STEM, Community Service, Humanities & Education, Young Woman of Achievement, Sylvia Henkin Mentoring Award, and the EmBeliever Award. Please consider joining us for the event, too! Due to growing demand for increased space, it will be held the Sioux Falls Convention Center. Tickets are available now, and include both the networking event prior to the ceremony featuring unique silent auction items as well as a plated dinner.

he three most celebrated heroes of the American West, also among the most well-known names of the 19th Century, are George Armstrong Custer, James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok, and William Frederick Cody, “Buffalo Bill.” The first is famous for one of the most disastrous military blunders of all time, another for his inflated reputation as a gunman, a reputation that got him shot in the back, and the third for an equally inflated reputation as a bison hunter, Indian fighter, and self-promoting showman. All three are associated with the half of Dakota Territory that became South Dakota, but only one—Buffalo Bill— earned a historical marker in Sioux Falls. He did so by being, well, Buffalo Bill. In 1882, a writer by the name of D. M. Kelsey cannibalized popular and largely inaccurate biographies and autobiographies of men from Desoto, LaSalle, and Champlain to Custer, Hickok, and Cody in Pioneer Heroes and Their Daring Deeds, a “profusely illustrated” volume aimed at the male child of ages 8-12. The result was not only to provide models of behavior that boys might emulate, but also to define the particular nature of the American hero. The book was an immense success, and thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of youths (including this writer) skipped to the “good stuff” toward the end of the book—featuring the two

HISTORY
Bills—devoured the words, studied the accompanying engravings and relived in imagination and reenacted in play the deeds described. The problem, of course, is that not just that the supposed historical events portrayed were exaggerated or even completely made up, but more importantly that the models of heroism presented— almost always involving firearms— pitched white European intruders against indigenous tribes or supposed “bad men.” Champlain’s sketch of himself as an upright musket-wielding explorer facing a hailstorm of arrows provides the central image. It was not just courage, but courage in the face of an onslaught of savages, that exemplifies the American Hero. Buffalo Bill provides an excellent example of the manufactured, often selfmanufactured, hero of the American frontier. Born near Leclaire, Iowa, on Sept. 5, 1846, Cody was forced to go to work at the age of 11 due to his father’s death. He pursued various odd jobs, among them bison hunter. Bill Cody, then just 23 years of age, came to prominence when Edward Zane Carroll Judson Sr., under the pen name Ned Buntline, wrote a book, Buffalo
Bill, King of the Bordermen, expanding on Bill’s almost entirely fabricated exploits. The story was picked up for a play in New York, and later Buntline’s own popular drama, Scouts of the Plains, starring both Bills along with Buntline himself and Texas Jack Omohundro. The content was a thin fabric of exaggerations and outright hogwash. Cody’s reputation as a young ponyexpress rider is pressed of similar shoddy material. Although he supposedly took the place of sick or missing riders on an epic ride covering 322 miles, researchers have established that he never rode as much as one mile for the short-lived dispatch carrier. Cody supposedly earned his nickname”Buffalo Bill” killing bison to feed workmen on the Kansas City Pacific Railroad and defended the alliterative alias against a rival claimant, William Comstock, by killing more animals than Comstock. Exactly how many bison are involved in each case, of course, was an elusive number stretching from as a few as a couple dozen into the thousands. But the name was at least awarded by others and not self-created as was Wild Bill’s.

(Here it should be noted that the slaughter of bison was a conscious ploy by the U. S. Army to undermine plains tribes that relied on the herds for sustenance, shelter. clothing, worship, and other needs. The depletion of once immense herds was the chief cause of relegation to reservations for the once wide-ranging warriors of the plains.) Cody claimed he killed his first Indian as a scout for the army sent to Utah to quell a rumored Mormon rebellion, but he later turned from slaughtering bison to gunning down Indians, supposedly claiming the first life and the first scalp in retribution for the Custer’s Little Big Horn debacle. The most verifiable aspect of Cody’s early life was his work as a civilian scout for the Army at various times and under various commanders, including Custer. For his gallantry as a scout he was awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor in 1872. However, the award was revoked following his death in 1917, on the grounds that the medal was intended for military personnel only. (Among other things, a civilian scout or guide can quit the job at will, without undergoing formal discharge procedures.) The medal was restored in 1989 when Bill was posthumously declared a member of the Army. What Cody was most noted for, of course, and what brought him to Sioux Falls and earned him a historical marker, was his career as a showman. Starting with appearances onstage in the role of a glorified Buffalo Bill, Cody found show business (the show business, as they said then) the most suitable and most profitable way of life. He expanded from a simple stage play to an epic, circus-like show involving hundreds of performers, riders, trick-shooters like Annie Oakley, and scores of Indians, including, for the European tour, Sitting Bull. Reenacting such episodes of the Old West as the

HISTORY
robbing of the Deadwood Stage and Bill’s own “First Scalp for Custer,” the show became world-famous and helped to popularize the idea of “how the West was won,” however fanciful that idea might be. The particular performance memorialized on the marker was for the Tri-State Fair on Sept. 21, 1896, but Cody included Sioux Falls and other South Dakota cities on his tours before and after that date. The marker is located in Riverdale Park, near where the performance took place. Not only does Bill Cody’s career
exemplify the ideal American Hero, but also it represents the extent to which that ideal may be compounded of dubious documentation, gunplay, racism, and so much baloney. It is a precursor of the present-day celebrity who is often “famous for being famous,” and politicians who parlay exaggerated accomplishments into positions of power.

The Upside of Downsizing BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY
H
omeowners decide to downsize for many different reasons, but getting to that decision can be hard. Depending on how long you have been in your home, you may have sentimental feelings from having watched your family grow up there, or you may have developed friendships with your neighbors. However, one Sioux Falls homeowner now knows from experience that downsizing can be a positive experience.
The unique part of her downsizing story is that last July, she moved back to a house she lived in more than 18 years ago and has been renting it out since that time. She moved from a 3,300 square foot home to this one, which is around 2,000 square feet. She considered many factors before making her final decision, including location in town, existing construction versus new construction, affordability and finding a home that fit her lifestyle.

Ultimately when her former home was available again, she decided this was the right move. Her sister had a vision for looking at the existing floor plan and devising ways to change some of the interior structure to maximize

POTS AND PANS BY JIM MATHIS

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
E
very year as the calendar changes; I take a look around to find those objects that are no longer worthy of their sharing the journey into the New Year. Some items have fallen out of style, some no longer fit (clearly they are shrinking, as I’m not growing!) For others, it’s simply time to replace that which is worn. This year I was taking stock of the pots and pans in the kitchen. While some only get better with age, others have clearly passed their prime. But as I looked them over, it got me thinking about the kitchen gadgets we use most often, and in my kitchen it’s a mix of brands, styles and materials; always with a mindset of finding the right tool for the job. As I look at the variety of pots and pans I use, I’m dividing them into two categories; the first will last forever and the second will wear out and cry for replacements.
Cookware to Last Generations When people think about cookware that lasts, they usually mention cast iron pans. My mother has had the same cast iron skillet for as long as I can remember. It’s well seasoned, well used and well loved. And when I think back to my days growing up, when that pan emerged from the cupboard it meant mom was going to make fried chicken or cornbread. While one was a cooktop preparation and the other came from the oven, they both counted on that old pan to deliver a crisp crust. Part of the beauty of cast iron is its versatility; it goes from the stove to the oven to the campfire. And while the maintenance routine is particular; never EVER wash with soap and water, always scrape it clean, wash with water only and protect the seasoning that develops over time; if treated well, they will last forever. The only drawback to cast iron is the weight—a typical ten-inch cast iron skillet will weigh well over five pounds. My preference over cast iron is carbon-steel. Peek into many commercial kitchens and you’ll see the cooks using very simple looking carbon-steel pans. Why? They have most of the advantages of cast iron at less than half the weight. Carbon-steel seasons like cast iron; that is to say every time you use it, the pan absorbs a little bit of the fat you’re cooking with and that creates natural non-stick coating on the pans. My steel pans get used for searing steaks, pork chops and chicken. I even roasted my Thanksgiving turkey breast in my large steel pan. They go from the stove top to the oven to the grill; they heat up quickly and evenly and hold temperature well. And because they get very hot, they create a wonderful crust on steaks as they sear. It’s the Maillard reaction I’ve written about before, when the amino acids in meat react with sugars at high heat. This reaction creates hundreds of different flavor compounds and is why browned food tastes so darned good! As the reaction takes place, little crispy brown bits called fond are left the pan. That fond adds tons of flavors to pan sauces!

Carbon-steel pans—like mine from Blanc Creatives in Charlottesville, Virginia—require similar treatment to cast iron. Brush or scrub them clean with water, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry place. If the seasoning needs a refresher, I cook something with a little extra high-temp fat like canola oil and it bounces right back. The only thing I don’t put in carbon-steel or cast iron is very acidic sauces like tomatoes as the acid can eat away the seasoning. For long slow braising (often with acidic sauces) I turn to my trusty old five and half quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. It’s a cast iron pot with a colorful enamel coating. They come in a rainbow of colors, so I chose my favorite orange when I got this one more than 20 years ago. Over that time, it’s braised countless shortribs, roasts, lamb and veal shanks, and cooked so many pots of chili and soup I can’t begin to count them all. Because it’s cast iron, it heats up evenly and holds the heat well. But the enamel makes it perfects for acidic braising liquids. Is it heavy, very heavy, but it’s every bit as good today as it was the day I bought it and it will probably be listed in my will. That’s how long these things last.

Over the years, stainless steel has gained a more prominent place in my kitchen. I used to have a lot of Calphalon anodized aluminum pots and pans, but over time they began to warp, lose their finish, and frankly I grew tired of not being able to stick a pan in the dishwasher after I’d heated up soup. They were replaced by stainless steel, mostly All-Clad brand. They work extremely well, I never worry about metal utensils scratching them (like a potato masher or spatula) and after years of use and some abuse, they look and work as well as when they were new. From small soup and stock pots to a 13-inch paella pan, the All-Clad brand has served me well, and only a couple of the old Calphalon pans have stood the test of time.
The Ephemeral Pans I have yet to find a good non-stick skillet that lasts more than a few years. I’ve tried some really expensive pans and some bargain names, but after a couple of years they all begin to lose the nonstick quality I’ve bought them for. In some cases the non-stick has started to flake off, which can be toxic. Granted, these are the pans that see the harshest treatment in my kitchen. They are used for everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to quick weeknight stir-fries. And because every non-stick pan I’ve bought in the last 10 years has claimed to be dishwasher safe, I submit them to the harsh environment of the dishwasher, even though I would never dream of doing that to the carbon-steel or enameled cast iron. My current 12-inch non-stick is a modestly-priced J.A. Henkels.
It’s held up well for the last couple of years, far better than its predecessor—an expensive All-Clad non-stick. The first All-Clad failed within a year and was replaced under warranty. After the second gave up after about the same time, I decided it was time to switch brands. The other non-stick skillets in my arsenal are a mix of other brands and none have shown outstanding performance. A recent test by Cooks Illustrated showed modestly priced brands including OXO and T-Fal as the best. And since I’m still skeptical that they’ll truly last very long; I like the idea of not paying too much. What about the new high-tech ceramic or “eco-friendly” non-stick pans that we see on TV? None of them fare well in the real-life tests by respected consumer advocate groups. I figure if they do the testing, then I don’t have to. So after many years of faithful service, the old non-stick pan I lean on for my fried eggs has gone from non-stick to slick with a little oil or butter to needing a lot of grease. And now it’s time for it to retire. It will be replaced by another of similar design. And each time I make eggs, I’ll abuse the pan and throw it in the dishwasher and in a year or two I’ll buy another. Some things will never change. My habits certainly fall into that category. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today! When Jim is not in the kitchen, you can find him at ADwërks, the ad agency he runs in downtown Sioux Falls.

SHARING WINE WITH A
MASTER BY RICCARDO TARABELSI
W
hen the opportunity to spend time with a Master Sommelier presents itself, you don’t pass it up. It was a cold, icy night when some of the best palates in town assembled at a friend’s house for an epic wine tasting. Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier (of the SOMM movies fame,) was in Sioux Falls for a couple of nights, and I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing his brilliance for two nights. The first was at my wine bar with a large group tasting wines from all over the world, including a little gem he brought in the form of a 1995 Napa Valley Zinfandel. This 23-year-old wine was amazingly bright, fruity, and well-balanced. That night, my conversations with Ian traveled from sugar-rich environments to psychedelic mushrooms to hot yoga. We really didn’t talk much about wine; I just sat back in amazement (and was like a sponge trying to absorb as many wine tasting nuggets as possible from him) as he fluently named all 10 Crus in Beaujolais in front of the big group. I’ve often called Master Sommeliers (I’ve met four in my career, including Ian) walking encyclopedias of wine. But Ian is next level; he’s like the Google search engine of wine. The second night was a little different. Everyone who was invited to this event had to bring a bottle of wine from their personal cellar and wrap it in foil or a brown bag. This was going to be a ridiculous (in a good way) blind tasting. Knowing who some of the guests invited were going to be, and the fact that a Master Sommelier was going to be there, I knew I had to bring something really special. So I put my bottle in a brown paper bag and off I went. I was greeted by our host and Ian at the door. This time, our conversations were very wine-centric. I felt like I was in my Sommelier class all over again, just reveling in the amounts of regional and varietal information that was pouring out of a
Master’s mind. After about the 15th or 16th bottle (I lost count at some point because EVERY bottle was more superb than the last,) it was time for my bottle to be decanted and poured blindly for all the guests. My wine poured a rusty, brick color (an indication that the wine has been aged for a long time,) and smelled of must and dirt but hints of dried cherries. All night we had been tasting and guessing the wines as a group, and this time the entire group went right to Italy (partly because they all knew it was my bottle.) And like the rest of the evening, we all made our comments and guesses about the wine, but then we’d all look at Ian and say, “Well, what do YOU think?” Ian would either rely on his taste memory and tell us what he thought, or he’d try to give us deductive tasting clues to help us along on. With my wine, he narrowed it down to either a Bordeaux or a Brunello, and he also said, “This wine is very old, at least 20 years.” It was time to unveil my bottle, and it was indeed a 1997 Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany. Experiences like this create memories that last a lifetime, and I won’t soon forget how we all got tricked into thinking one of the bottles was a Pinot Noir from Burgundy, only to find out it was a Pinot Noir from Oregon, or the wine that had us all thinking Rhone, and it was actually a Barbera from Piedmont. Do yourself a favor, host a blind tasting party. Not only is it fun, it is extremely educational for your palate. Invite some good friends and share some wine! Carpe Vino!

It’s the Simple Things That Bring Us

riving home from a holiday stay with my youngest brother and his wife on their North Dakota ranch, our 7-year-old daughter Parker asked me, “Do we know anyone in Sioux Falls with haystacks?” Parker had just discovered one of my favorite childhood pastimes – playing on haystacks. She spent an entire afternoon jumping, climbing and chasing playmates on the towering stacks that line my brother’s drive. Her enthusiasm made me stop and think a moment. In a day and age when technology doesn’t give kids an opportunity to experience boredom, a stack of cattle feed captured and held her attention for hours. It’s the simple things … right?

into the New Year. Not an easy task, as all working parents understand, but something worth making time for. I know I find the most joy in interactive moments with family and friends. When the weather is warmer, I find it’s easy for me to catch up with friends over lunch-hour walks or spend quality time with my family after work biking, hiking or sitting by our backyard firepit. But, during the winter months, if I’m not pro-active, it can begin to feel a bit isolating. Especially now that the holidays are over. So, I have to make an effort. This fall we started replacing family movie night with board games. There’s a lot more conversation and for some reason, it’s easier to find a game the three of us want to play together than it is selecting a movie we all want to watch.
And, during these winter months, we try to invite friends over more. Nothing warms the spirit like spending an evening sitting around the dining room table visiting with friends. Now, it took me a bit to get over my standards for our home being “company ready.” This winter, my rule is, as long as the kitchen sink is empty and our bathroom is clean, we can have family or friends over for supper. I keep the meal prep simple. My go-to recipes are pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw or clam chowder. Both take me all of 30 minutes to prepare. I do pull out my almost best china however – souvenir plates. For nearly a decade I’ve collected state and destination souvenir plates from thrift shops and rummage sales. I have not spent more than $3 on any of them. In fact, most of them were only 50 cents. They are so kitsch and cheerful – guaranteed conversation starters.
Now back to the conversation with my daughter. To answer Parker’s question, I don’t know anyone locally with a haystack, but I do have a friend in Mitchell who lives on a farm. So, as long as the roads are clear, Parker and I are going to take a road trip to visit her soon. To watch a video of Parker playing on the haystacks and for my favorite clam chowder recipe, feel free to stop by my blog, Knick Knacks of Life at www.LRFreelance.com. An active preservationist and agriculture journalist, Lura Roti lives in an 1888 Folk Victorian home near the Cathedral Historic District.

he U.S. Virgin Islands includes three main islands. Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix are all a part of this beautiful vacation destination, and they all possess their own unique characteristics. With sixty percent being protected by the United States National Park Service, St. John is the smallest island of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The most popular pasttimes here are hiking on the higher landscape and snorkeling in the crystal blue waters. Tourists can get a birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye view of the island on an aerial tour via helicopter and on Cessna aircrafts. Ranging from 20 minutes to one hour, the pilot will show passengers the most popular areas and sights. Adventure seekers can also go parasailing and see the islands from the air and the sea. Souring to heights of 500 feet, they can experience the thrill of flying high above the Caribbean. Walking tours on the islands of both St. Croix and St. Thomas allow tourists to learn the rich history of the area. Restored art galleries and museums illustrate the past and display cultural demonstrations. St. Thomas is the most populated and the most visited of the three islands. While being home to the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands as well as the most developed island, it is said to have the most beautiful beaches of the three. In the month of April, St. Thomas will be celebrating their highly anticipated annual carnival, which was first celebrated in 1912. The Big Kahuna Rum Shack, located downtown on the waterfront of St. Thomas, offers amazing food along with their World Famous Love Juice drink,

Orthopedic Institute Answers The Age-Old Question -
ICE VS. HEAT What’s Better for Pain Relief? BY ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE
S
light to moderate pain doesn’t always require a trip to the doctor’s office. In certain situations, using a cold pack or heating pad at home can help you feel better, faster. The trick is finding the right treatment for your needs - and knowing how to use that treatment without causing yourself further pain or injury. We’re going to tackle the age-old question…ice or heat…what’s better for pain relief? If you’re treating pain at home, simply remember this quick rule of thumb: Ice is for numbing the inflammation associated with fresh injuries (like if you fall and hurt your knee or ankle) - and heat is for soothing stiff, aching muscles and joints.
When to Use Cold Therapy: If you have had a recent injury (within the last 48 hours) where swelling is a problem. Apply an ice pack, frozen gel pack or even a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel to the affected area. You should never apply a frozen item directly to the skin, as it can cause damage to the skin and tissues. Apply cold treatment as soon as possible after an injury. Use cold therapy for short periods of time, several times a day. Ten to 15 minutes is fine, and no more than 20 minutes of cold therapy should be used at a time to prevent nerve, tissue, and skin damage. Elevate the affected area for best results.
When to Use Heat Therapy: If you are experiencing joint or muscle pain or stiffness.
Minor stiffness or tension can often be relieved with only 15 to 20 minutes of heat therapy. Moderate to severe pain can benefit from longer sessions of heat therapy like warm bath, lasting between 30 minutes and two hours. Local therapy is best for small areas of pain, like one stiff muscle. You could use small heated gel packs or a hot water bottle if you only want to treat an injury locally. Regional treatment is best for more widespread pain or stiffness, and could be achieved with a steamed towel, large heating pad, or heat wraps. Full body treatment would include options like saunas or a hot bath.
When NOT to Use Cold or Heat Packs: If you have areas of skin with open wounds or rashes. If you have areas of skin with poor sensation to heat or cold. If you have areas of the body with known poor circulation. If you have diabetes. If you have an infection under your skin. If the treatment hasn’t helped much with regular use, or makes your pain worse, it’s time to see your doctor at Orthopedic Institute to start the diagnostic process to find out why you are in pain. Call 605-331-5890 or go to www.orthopedicinstitutesf.com to schedule an appointment. If you can’t wait for an appointment, Orthopedic Institute offers a Walk-In Clinic open M- F 3 – 7 pm and 11 am – 4 pm on Saturdays.

Harry Potter and the Genetics of Inheritance “Who we are is both the product of the genes that we’re born with, and the experiences that we have.” BY MEGAN BALDRIDGE, SANFORD HEALTH
62 mind-body-spirit |
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
W
ith the global popularity of Harry Potter, kids (and adults) all over the world secretly hope for their acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While the books and movies can whisk you off to Harry’s magical land of fantasy, real-world science can help explain if you would or could have magical powers, using the basics of genetic inheritance and the beloved characters we meet as examples. “It’s a fun topic, mixing real genetics into the world of Harry Potter,” says Robert Pyatt, Ph.D., director of the Sanford Medical Genetics Laboratory and fellow Potter-head. “What we’re talking about is the connection between genetics and whatever feature they’re connected with,” whether that’s a physical trait or the ability to do magic. Wands at the ready, readers: Dr. Pyatt is about to walk you through some examples of real genetic principles in the world of Harry Potter.
How Traits are Passed Down Red hair and freckles seem about as common in Harry Potter’s world as it is in ours. But for Arthur and Molly Weasley’s family, it’s not just common — it’s a given. “With genetics, we often look at the inheritance pattern,” Dr. Pyatt says. “Or if you look at a family tree, what’s the pattern of a feature or a trait that’s being passed down from generation to generation, from parents to children.” Traits are passed down through what’s called dominant or recessive genes. “With dominant genes, you typically only inherit one variant or one change in the gene that’s connected with a specific trait or feature, and that’s enough to let you express that trait or feature — a great example of a dominant trait is freckles,” Dr. Pyatt explains. “It’s changes in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene that will show in a person as freckles.” The same gene that’s associated with freckles is involved with red-colored hair. But instead of being dominant, changes in the MC1R gene that cause red hair are recessive, meaning two changes in the gene need to be inherited for the trait to be displayed in the person. Since both Arthur and Molly Weasley have red hair, they each have two copies of that change in the MC1R gene, and they’re both going to pass that on to their children. “So because they both share the same genetic changes in that MC1R gene, 100 percent of their children are going to have red hair,” Dr. Pyatt says. “We all have interesting genetic changes,” he says, but it’s just a little more obvious with some, like the Weasleys, because of a particular trait.
Inherited Magical Abilities This same idea of dominant and recessive genes can be used when looking at how Harry Potter characters inherit the ability to use magic. “If you look at Harry’s pedigree or family tree, both his parents

T
can use magic, and he can use magic,” Dr. Pyatt says. “His father’s family can use magic, but his mother’s family can’t. If you look at that, it suggests a recessive pattern of inheritance, where Harry is inheriting one variant from his dad, and one variant from his mom. So he has two changes in whatever gene is connected to using magic, and that’s allowing him to use magic.” But what about Hermione, who was born to two Muggles, or people who don’t have magical abilities? “Neither one of her parents can use magic, so in this case, because it’s a recessive condition or recessive trait, we think of Hermione’s parents as being carriers,” Dr. Pyatt says. “They likely have one change in that gene for the ability to use magic, but they only have one — so they carry that trait, but they can’t actually express it. They can’t use magic themselves. But if they each pass down that trait to Hermione, she inherits both changes in that recessive gene, and she can use magic.”
Magical Variations There’s also some characters who have magical parents, but no magical abilities themselves — Squibs, as they’re called, like Filch and Mrs. Figg. “To possibly explain that, there’s two principles that we normally see with dominant traits, but with this discussion, we’re going to add them in for recessive traits,” Dr. Pyatt says. Penetrance “So one of those principles is something called penetrance. In a lot of cases when you have a change that’s associated with a trait, 100 percent of the time, you express that trait. That’s called complete penetrance,” he says. For example, variants or changes in the CASZ1 gene are associated with heart defects. “Everyone who has one of these variants is born with a hole in the wall between the lower chambers of their heart,” Dr. Pyatt says. “In this case, changes in the CASZ1 gene shows complete penetrance for ventral septal defects.” There’s also incomplete or reduced penetrance, where you may inherit the genetic change or variant, but you may not always express that trait or feature. “The trait may be seen in 80 percent of people with the genetic variants, or 20 percent — any percentage is possible. But it’s less than 100 percent,” Dr. Pyatt says. For example, in one study, 72 percent of women with variants in the BRCA1 gene and 69 percent of women with variants in the BRCA2 gene developed breast cancer by age 80. There’s an incomplete penetrance of whether the change in the gene will result in cancer. “It’s like a light switch: It’s either on, and the trait is expressed, or it’s off, and the trait isn’t expressed,” Dr. Pyatt says. “So if we had incomplete penetrance going on in Harry Potter, it may be that somebody like Filch actually inherited the genetics to use magic, but because there’s incomplete penetrance, he actually can’t show that trait of being able to use magic.”

HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Expressivity The second principle is called variable expressivity. “This relates to when you have the trait, but how distinctive that trait is can vary from person to person,” he says. “Polydactyly, or the presence of extra toes, is a great example of a trait that shows variable expressivity in cats,” Dr. Pyatt explains. Polydactyly is inherited in a dominant pattern, but the expression of that trait can vary, as the number of extra toes can differ greatly from cat to cat. “So it may be that somebody like Filch or Mrs. Figg inherited those traits to be able to use magic, but they may have such variable expressivity, that may be why they can only use it at such a low level they don’t recognize it,” Dr. Pyatt says. Variable expressivity could also explain why some students at Hogwarts are intuitively much better at using magic than others. “Poor Ron is never that hot at it, but he does the best with what he has, and there are people like Hermione who are just fantastic at it,” Dr. Pyatt says. “Bringing in some of these genetic principles may help explain some of the variation in that feature of being able to use magic.” It’s not all genetics Dr. Pyatt cautions not to be too deterministic when it comes to genetics. “Genetics certainly plays a large part in many of our features and our predisposition to disease. But in nearly every case, it’s not just your genetics, but it’s the environment as well that is playing a significant role,” he says. What you eat, the air you breathe, the actions you take or don’t take — they can all factor into the changes that occur to your genes throughout your life. But even those are just part of who you are. “Who we are is both the product of the genes that we’re born with, and the experiences that we have,” Dr. Pyatt says. “The human experience is very much a spectrum. You’ve had great things that happen to you, you’ve had horrible things that have happened to you, and they really shape who you are.” There are some genetic syndromes where, for example, an individual might be more violent or prone to anger, but there is no one gene for an emotion or behavior pattern. “Even in those genetic conditions, it’s more of a predisposition that you see for those behavior patterns than anything that’s absolute,” Dr. Pyatt says. The sorting hat at Hogwarts seems to factor in both genetics and behaviors when determining houses that seemingly set students’ loyalties and principles for life — it could sense Neville Longbottom’s Gryffindor bravery before he could, it knew Draco Malfoy’s family lineage and motivations made him a classic Slytherin. But no genetic or behavioral test in the real world can factor in all the variances and nuances of who a person is to become. “Thank God for that,” Dr. Pyatt says of those limitations. “I don’t know of anybody that would want that, because you want your children to be able to grow up to whomever they are.” And that’s the magical part of being human.

How to Keep Newborns Safe During Cold & Flu Season BY KATIE DANIEL, AVERA HEALTH
W
hile awaiting the arrival of a little one, expecting parents, family members and friends often count down the days until they get to kiss, cuddle and snuggle the newborn. However, you may want to hold on the kisses during cold and flu season. That’s because the immune system of a newborn is still immature, which makes him or her especially vulnerable to illnesses within the first 6 months. “We’re really protective of them during that time because their bodies aren’t equipped to fight off new things – like viruses and bacteria – on their own,” says Courtney Backer, MD, a pediatrician with Avera Medical Group. “They rely on antibodies that are

1. Get the flu shot. This is important and safe, not only for the mom, but for everyone who will be around the baby. “It’s simply the best way to protect them,” says Backer. “Since

Getting kids to put down their electronics
Frequent handwashing with soap isand water or using and play outside a no-brainer when hand sanitizer, especially before holding the baby, is one of the most your backyard contains a slackline! important things to do each day, according to Backer. “It’s simple, but so effective – a great way to prevent infection.”

of droplets containing the virus, especially when coughing or sneezing. Remembering to cover your mouth properly, such as coughing or sneezing into your shoulder, or even better, into a tissue, can make it less likely to spread. And don’t forget to wash your hands afterward too.
4. Hold on the kisses – for now. A recent social media campaign encouraged people not to kiss babies during the cold and flu season. Backer agrees this is good advice because – just like coughing and sneezing – viruses travel easily that way. “It’s also important to remember that we can be contagious even without having any symptoms,” she adds. “It’s best to be overly careful, especially during those first 6 months. Even if you don’t show any signs of being sick, save your kisses for later.”

PARENTING & PREGNANCY
When to See a Doctor It’s important to see a doctor if you notice any of the following signs or symptoms within your newborn’s first four weeks: • Cold body – rectal temperature below 96.8 F • Fever – rectal temperature above 100.4 F • Fewer wet diapers – less than 6 each day • Increased difficulty waking up • Increased irritability • Not eating well This cold and flu season – whether or not you have any symptoms – err on the side of caution. Greet babies with a smile and follow the parents’ or caretakers’ lead when it comes to holding. There will be plenty of time to catch up on kisses and cuddles later!

Isle of You by David LaRochelle Some days are harder to get through than others, but when you’re sad, or lonely, or angry, it helps to remember these words: the Isle of You. Take a moment to shake off your worries, then set sail to a land where your dreams can come true. Soar on the back of an eagle, hunt for treasure, watch dancing polar bears on roller skates — anything you can imagine is yours.

Good Rosie! by Kate DiCamillo Rosie is a good dog and a faithful companion to her owner, George. She likes taking walks with George and looking at the clouds together, but the closest she comes to another dog is when she encounters her reflection in her empty dog bowl, and sometimes that makes Rosie feel lonely. One day George takes Rosie to the dog park, but the park is full of dogs that Rosie doesn’t know, which makes her feel lonelier than ever. When big, loud Maurice and small, yippy Fifi bound over and want to play, Rosie’s not sure how to respond. Is there a trick to making friends? And if so, can they all figure it out together?

CHILDREN’S BOOKS
The Boy Who Went to Mars by Simon James On the day that Stanley’s mom takes a work trip overnight, Stanley decides to leave planet Earth. But when his spaceship touches down again in the backyard, a young martian crawls out, proclaiming to Stanley’s dad that residents of Mars don’t wash before dinner, eat their vegetables, or brush their teeth. It just so happens that martians tend to act out in school, too. . . . With whimsy and sympathy for a familiar dilemma, Simon James ushers us into the coping fantasies of an imaginative, sensitive kid — and shares the pleasure of his sheepish reunion with a most accepting family.

I Do Not Like Books Anymore! by Daisy Hirst Natalie and Alphonse REALLY like books. Picture books with Dad, scary stories with Mom, and especially stories they remember or make up themselves. So when it’s time for Natalie to learn to read, she thinks it will be exciting — she can have all the stories in the world now, and even read them to Alphonse. But when Natalie gets her first reading book, the letters look like squiggles and it isn’t even a good story; it’s just about a cat that can sit. “I do not like books anymore!” Natalie declares. But she still wants to make up stories. With Alphonse’s help, can she find a way to turn a love of telling stories into a love of reading stories? With her one-of-a-kind voice and wonderfully droll artwork, Daisy Hirst captures the familiar frustration of struggling to learn something new — and the particular pride that comes when you finally succeed.

Dino by Diego Vaisberg A large egg appears in the backyard. Is it a giant canary? A large lizard? A huge turtle? It’s not any of those things. . . . It’s a DINOSAUR!

Having an enormous dinosaur in the house can definitely be tricky, but Dino loves his people and they love him. A gloriously fun romp through the trials of owning a pet, told with a deft humorous touch and an iconic visual style by debut creator Diego Vaisberg. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com

The Tall Man and the Small Mouse by Mara Bergman On a tall hill, in a tall house, live a tall man and a small mouse. All day the man does tall things, like untangling swings and rescuing cats from trees. All night the mouse does small things, like finding pins and pens, corks and long-lost forks. The two never see each other until the day the mouse takes a snooze in the man’s long shoes . . . SQUEAK! EEK! Can this duo get along — and maybe even become the perfect mix? A rhythmic, rhyming narration pairs with charming illustrations to celebrate the tall and short of an unlikely friendship — and the surprising benefits of working together.

Peppa Pig and the Career Day It’s a very exciting day for Peppa. From all around town, people are visiting her class to talk about their jobs!

There are so many different things that Peppa and her friends can be when they grow up. . . . And just how many jobs does Miss Rabbit have, anyway? Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com
