Your first thought might be ice cream, or perhaps soda varieties. However, these sweet flavors can be found at Candy Cloud Factory, a new cotton candy business now open in The Cascade on Phillips Avenue. Edward Clark got into the cotton candy business with a former partner, who had received a cotton candy machine as a Christmas present. The pair started taking their two varieties – pink and blue – to

area volleyball and basketball games and other events. They started sharing pictures of their adventure on their personal social media pages and soon, a call came from the Mitchell Chamber of Commerce asking if they’d be interested in a store front. That was three summers ago, when Candy Cloud Factory opened a seasonal shop across from the Corn Palace. As their business grew, gaining customers from outside the Mitchell area who would stop through on their way to the Black Hills or even just make a trip to Mitchell solely for cotton candy, Clark started thinking about expanding to Sioux Falls.
“We had so many customers coming to Mitchell just because they heard of us by word of mouth,” he says. “Sioux Falls has so much happening, and I knew that would be a fun and exciting place to be.” The stars aligned, and Candy Cloud Factory found a year-round home in the new Cascade development. It is obvious that the Candy Cloud team loves what they do, and they designed the store to showcase the magic of making cotton candy. Here are some of the ways you can enjoy their custom creations: a bag or a container of a single flavor, a bag or container of three flavors, a “rainbow container” with

six colorful flavors, or the “jumbo rainbow bag” that features a full collection of their tasty cotton candy flavors. Clark says their customers often bring in ideas of different types of treats to try, such as cotton candy cakes or flowers. One of their signature offerings is the Magical Burrito. It starts by spinning one, two or three flavors of cotton candy and flattening it to use as the burrito shell. Next, they add the customer’s choice of toppings – sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles or M&M’s – followed by a few scoops of ice cream. That gets rolled up like a burrito, cut in half and voila! A cotton candy burrito.
They have enjoyed getting to meet the customers who have been stopping in since they opened this summer, but they are just as excited when they get to take their custom creations out into the community, whether at school concession stands and fundraisers or at special events like birthday parties, weddings, corporate events and even gender reveal parties. In fact, Clark says, he already has three graduation parties booked for 2020. “I commended those parents for being so organized,” Clark laughs. “But, it is important to get dates booked early, especially if you want us to make the
cotton candy on-site at your event.’ Just as this business hopes to make a mark on Sioux Falls, they invite their customers to make their mark on the business by leaving a signature or artwork on the giant chalkboard wall. Clark has been surprised at how popular the wall has become and how quickly it fills up each day. “Every couple of days I’ll take a picture of the board and then erase it,” he says. “Then, more customers come in and start to fill it up again. It really builds community, and it is a fun way for us to promote our business when people post their pictures online.”

Clark says it has become a popular stop to captures special occasions like a “Sweet 16” birthday or senior photos where the students now are standing by the chalkboard with “Class of 2020” written behind them.

There are more fun surprises in the works, from fall and holiday flavors to more “grown-up” offerings through partnerships with local establishments using their cotton candy for custom-brewed beer or cocktails.

A FUN WAY TO GET MOVING THIS FALL BY MARY MICHAELS
Y
ou can have a pickle barrel, a pickle fork, pickle relish, be in a pickle and…play pickleball! Official accounts place the creation of the pickleball game in the Seattle, Washington, area around 1965 when three dads devised a game for their kids who were bored with their usual summer activities. Now, the game is wildly popular across the United States and Canada (Google “pickleball U.S. Open” or “pickleball nationals”!), and it has even been introduced in several European and Asian countries. In fact, there is an International Federation of Pickleball, and conversations have been circulating about pickleball becoming an Olympic sport. Players of the game are ranked from 2.05.0, as well as professionals. Many pickleball players are starting young, with physical education programs

including it at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. In addition, many colleges and universities have added pickleball to their intramural sports options, and tennis facilities across the country are converting tennis courts to pickleball courts. The name of the sport is as unique as the game itself, which combines the elements of other racket and paddle sports like pingpong, tennis, badminton and racquetball. The wife of one of the game’s creators said she called it pickleball because the combination of sports reminded her of the “pickle boat” in crew, where rowers were chosen from the leftovers of other boats. Another story, however, says the game was named after the dog of one of the other creators – a dog named Pickles. Here in Sioux Falls, the game really took off about six years ago with the launch of
the Sioux Falls Pickleball Club. With a motto of Fun, Friendship and Fitness, the club’s mission is to promote the game to all ages and abilities. What started as a group of a dozen or so people playing the game is now an organized club with over 200 members. Larry Plucker, one of the club’s organizers, has represented South Dakota at the Senior National Games, where he competed alongside more than 1400 Pickleball players. The game can be played indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court, a modified tennis net, paddles similar in size to equipment used in racquetball and a wiffle ball. The game begins with a diagonal, underhand serve, and each team has to play the first shot off the bounce. After the ball has bounced once on each side, both teams can either volley the ball in the air or play it off the bounce.
The area players have to watch is a 7-foot zone on both sides of the net called the non-volley zone, or the kitchen. If a player who is volleying the ball steps on or over the line, or if anything the player is wearing crosses into the kitchen, it is a fault. Points are scored by the serving team, and games are typically played to a score of 11. Some tournaments, however, may play to 15 or 21. And, you must win by two points. In addition to the outdoor courts at Riverdale Park, there are also indoor courts for year-round play, including: • Terry Redlin Elementary School. 1721 E. Austin Street (no charge) Mon-Wed -6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sat-Sun -- 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
• Our Saviors Lutheran Church. 909 W. 33rd Street (suggested $2 donation per person each time played; Mondays are free) Monday -- 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. (to noon if no use by daycare) and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday-Friday - 8:00 a.m. to Noon
• Active Generations offers both beginners and advanced play. Active Generations membership is required, and you can find more information on that club’s website: http:// activegenerationspickleballclub.webs.com.
• First Christian Reformed Church. 2901 East 26th St. (voluntary donation) Tuesday -- 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. • Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. 5500 E. 57th Street (no fee) Tuesday & Thursday -- 8:15 to 10:15 a.m. Thursday -- 6:45 to 8:45 p.m. Sunday - 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. (use west door)
The game is great for cardiovascular exercise, reflexes, balance and maintaining hand-eye coordination. If you are looking for something new and fun to add to your fitness routine, try a little pickleball. You can reach the Sioux Falls Area Pickleball Club at sfapickleball@gmail. com or through the Sioux Falls Pickleball Club on Facebook.
• Great Life at Woodlake. 4600 S. Tennis Lane (GreatLife membership required) Monday-Wednesday-Friday -9:00 to 11:00 a.m.

Remembering John Egan: Clearing a Family Name BY RON ROBINSON
C
. John Egan Jr. and the author went way back. Known more familiarly to sports fans by his simpler byline, John Egan, he was only a few years older than the author, had graduated from Augustana College a few years before, and was already well ensconced as a sports writer for the Argus Leader. Although the author had experienced two years of junior college while writing for the Estherville Daily News, mostly sports stories, in fact, and was subsequently employed in his junior and senior years at Augie as the night man for the Associated Press in Sioux Falls, he lacked John Egan’s skill and grace under pressure. How strange it was, therefore, many
years later, when John Egan came to the author with a modest proposal. By that time the author was chief editor for Ex Machina Publishing Company, while John Egan had amassed 34 years as prize-winning sports writer, editor, and columnist before his retirement. John’s proposal was to tell the story of his greatgrandfather, Thomas Egan, who had been hanged, not just once, but three times, for the murder of his wife. The hanging had taken place in 1882. Details of the crime which had provoked the hanging were lost in the foggy shroud of time. Why on earth would John Egan want to resurrect a case so cold, one, moreover, that tied him to a
John Egan
ghastly murder? As it turned out, John had a very good reason for shedding new light on the case. Thomas Egan had been innocent, and had paid the ultimate price for a crime he did not commit. John had to talk very little before the author was hooked. It didn’t take a genius to see that here was a making of a best-selling book. With the author’s aid and encouragement, John launched

Thomas Egan. This woodcut is the only image we have of him
immediately into finishing and, helped by Ex Machina’s expert copy editor, Gayle Emmel, polishing his account. One key to the story was the status of people of Irish nationality in America
in earlier years. Irish were regarded in prejudiced quarters of the country as being ignorant, drunken, lazy papists, occupying roughly the same rank among the bigoted as Indians and blacks. “No Irish Need Apply,” was a common addendum to employment ads of the time. Immigrants like Thomas Egan faced an uphill battle getting jobs and making an honest living. The specter of unwanted immigrants haunts America even today. After getting driven from Ireland by the potato famine, spending nearly three months getting rolled around a dark hold of a slow-moving ship, enduring the stench of sea-sickness, Thomas arrived in Philadelphia, to a country that didn’t particularly want him. He shuffled first to Wisconsin and the lead mines near Madison. There he met and married a comely widow, Mary Hayden Lyons, who had a daughter, Catherine, by a previous marriage. Like many other immigrants, Thomas made his way west by fits and starts. Stops along the way included Mason City and Sioux City in Iowa and
Sioux Falls in Dakota Territory. Thomas and Mary finally settled on a homestead in Grand Meadow Township in 1875. Here they were to take their stand. Thomas farmed, which in those days meant hard manual labor, with oxen to break sod which had remained undisturbed, as John Egan later put it, “since the Ice Age,” while Thomas’ wife Mary contributed to the family’s financial well-being by hiring out as a servant occasionally to neighbors and by doing fancy needlepoint. Their sons Sylvester, John, and even young Tommy were soon old enough to pull their share of the load. Step-daughter Catherine, at first designated to join the rest of the family as soon as the homestead was secured, surprised everyone by wedding a much older neighbor, James Van Horn, shortly before her eighteenth birthday. All was not hunky-dory with the Egans, however. There was, among other things, a disputed tree claim some eight miles north of the Egan homestead, supposedly secured by Thomas to furnish much-

needed fuel and building materials, but encroached upon by the Van Horns. And the taciturn Egan and his outgoing wife had differences enough to consider divorce proceedings, which in the Catholic Church involved many complicated steps. So things stood on September 12, 1880, when Thomas and the three boys returned from a visit to the tree claim, loaded down with wood and hay. When they went to the shanty, they found the trap door in the kitchen askew. Young Tommy was the first one down to the cellar, where he cried out in horror at the sight of his mother’s body lying at the foot of the stairs. It seemed clear she had been killed and her body then dumped into the tiny root cellar. Neighbors were informed, but they found it suspicious that Thomas took his wife’s death without apparent emotion. When he was asked what had transpired, Thomas Egan replied, almost casually, “Oh, Mary is dead.” Those too-simple words were almost immediately held against the Irishman by his English neighbors. As far as they were concerned, he was guilty until proven

HISTORY
Drop Him has been honored as one of the best true-crime sagas
Thomas Egan’s body was given a proper tombstone after residing for decades in an unmarked grave
Only when John Egan finally called attention to the innocence of his great-grandfather was it acknowledged that one of Minnehaha County’s earliest murder cases was horribly botched. The plaque stands only a few feet from the where the gallows stood in 1882.
innocent. Unfortunately, Thomas had only his own protestations of innocence to go on. If he didn’t kill Mary, who did? Even he could not answer that question. The jury, heavily non-Irish, found Thomas guilty, of course. His own sons’ testimony was held against him. Justice had moved slowly, however; it wasn’t until 1882 that Thomas Egan’s fate was sealed. The hanging, on July 13, was badly botched. It was almost as though some unseen force was resisting the hanging. On the first try, the rope broke. Still alive, Thomas was hauled up again. The trap was accidentally sprung, the rope slid slowly from the hands of a deputy. Instead of snapping Thomas’ neck, the rope was strangling him. Hauled up to the scaffold a third time, half dead, Thomas was again tied to the gallows, again dropped, and there was a loud cracking noise. This time it was Thomas’ neck rather that the rope that was broken. Time passed. Thomas’ two older sons decided that their father had been innocent, but they had little on which
to base their conclusion. It wasn’t long, however, before the death sentence in Dakota was changed from mandatory to discretionary, and the questions raised by Thomas’ hanging undoubtedly played a part in the change. Animosity toward the Irish was fading, as well. And the old question of exactly when Egan was supposed to have effected the killing was also hanging fire. Then, in 1927, came the deathbed confession of Thomas’ step-daughter, Catherine Van Horn. “We quarreled. I hit her over the head with a picket-pin. She fell to the floor. I hit her again and again.” But of course it was not just Mary’s life she had taken. It was Thomas’ as well, and the destruction of an innocent man’s reputation, not to mention the psychological damage to his sons. Although many doubted the confession, it made so much sense that it was finally accepted. John Egan’s book, Drop Him Till He Dies, convinced most readers, and a historic marker, erected by Bruce Blake at the site of the hanging near the
old courthouse, seemed finally to establish once and for all Thomas’ innocence. The first big signing of the book was at the old courthouse, and there were many more at bookstores around the eastern part of the state. The only signing that failed to attract big crowds was at a bookstore in Rapid City. To make up for the low turnout, the author took John on a tour of Spearfish Canyon, which amazingly he had not visited before. The author counted that as a grand coup until, on the way back to Sioux Falls, John asked to stop for lunch at Al’s Oasis, and the author got, along with a slice of sour cream raisin pie, a taste of what real celebrity meant. One after another, John’s readers and friends made their way to his table to say hello, to recount old scores, and to have a copy of his book autographed. John Egan died a few years back, but that’s the way the author likes to remember him — surrounded by fans, signing his book, delighting in the many friends he made over the years; both readers of his sports columns and readers of his account of his great grandfather’s life, death, and final justification.

n any given day, mornings at the Burma house may bring the sounds of wild turkeys or lawnmowers manicuring the grass at Minnehaha Country Club. Both are peaceful sounds for the couple, who just happened to discover this home before it went on the market back in 2017. “It was just one of those chance things,” says Kim. “We happened to hear that the former owner wanted to sell through friend and realtor Liz Lloyd. The location was a big selling point, tucked into a quiet street among the trees and the golf course in their backyard. It’s near the area of town where Jim grew up, and his mom still lives close by. The design of the house was a little “1970s dated,” however, says Jim, so they worked with Todd Schmidt Construction to essentially take it down to the studs and begin a remodeling project. There were a few key features they knew they wanted, including an open floor plan, so they removed all the walls they could in the main living space to create a kitchen and living room area separated only by a two-sided fireplace and floating shelves surrounded in stone. With two children now aged 20 and 21, Kim says this was the opportunity for she and Jim to design a house for the two of them so that just about everything they need is located on the main level. The living room, previously a sunken room that they lifted, is a mix of earthy greys and browns, with big windows looking out to the back yard. A small mini bar between the living room and kitchen is perfect for entertaining. “It seems like a bar was always something you put down in the basement,” says Jim, “but people really don’t sit down in the basement anymore. This one is perfect for us and is convenient whether we’re entertaining indoors or outdoors.” When it came to some of the interior décor part of the project, both Jim and Kim admit that wasn’t their strong suit. So, they enlisted the help of Houndstooth House in Sioux Falls. For the kitchen, they choose a darker

They converted the old main floor laundry room off the kitchen to a walk-in pantry, and they were excited when they discovered the previous owner was leaving the Viking range with the house. The long, center island has four chairs for seating on one side and two tall stools on the end. Along with having ample storage,

the island is the center of their kitchen for preparing meals and entertaining guests. Three geometric fixtures with Edison bulbs hang over the island, and the large square tile backsplash in brown and white complements the rich wood of the cabinets.

When they converted the old laundry room in the kitchen to the pantry, they created a new combination laundry room and walk-in closet as part of the master suite. It’s a dream space with plenty of built-in hanging and drawer space, including a tall center island
that makes folding clothes a snap. An open railing and stairs with a carpeted runner lead to the lower level, which has two entertaining areas, office space for Jim, and two bedrooms with a full bathroom that give their kids a space to hang out when they come home.

Another area that received some updating was their outdoor living space. A door from the kitchen opens to the patio on the side of the house, where they created an outdoor cooking area for Jim, complete with a grill and a smoker. Al Daschel Landscapes helped them enhance the yard, which
includes a water feature with a mini version of the city’s namesake falls. They added a lower patio area with chairs and a firepit where they can enjoy nice evenings and watch the golfers go by. While the remodeling project took several months, the Burmas say it was worth it.

EATING
South Dakota BY JIM MATHIS
I
had a request to write about South Dakota food, which got me to thinking about what foods truly represent our great state. Corn is certainly abundant and based solely on the fact that we’re home to the world’s only Corn Palace, one would think maize would be on the list. But we rank sixth in corn production, lagging well behind neighboring states Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. While we grow lots of the yellow stuff, and I really look forward to fresh sweet corn each summer, I don’t think it is a food that defines South Dakota. We raise a lot beef here too, but we rank eighth behind Texas and Nebraska. Heck even California raises more cattle than we

do! Iowa leads in pork production too, and despite the presence of the John Morrell plant, SoDak doesn’t even crack the top ten for pork. The state dessert is kuchen, and while kuchen is the German word for cake, here in South Dakota we really think of kuchen as a specific pastry with a fruit or custard filling. It has been said that every family with German roots has its own secret recipe. And since kuchen is baked, it’s out of my wheelhouse; baking is Jo McClure’s column, so I’ll let her sort out all those hundreds of recipes. But the German and Russian heritage that brought us kuchen

also brought us the Official State Nosh of South Dakota—chislic! Thanks to the 2018 South Dakota Legislature, we can all proudly declare we have a go-to nosh! The word nosh comes from Yiddish and German and means a snack or (as a verb) to eat a snack, and I do love to snack on chislic. Several sources give credit to one guy: John Hoellwarth, who immigrated from Crimea to Hutchinson County, South Dakota in the 1870s. But I find it hard to believe that he was the only immigrant to bring the idea of cubed and fried meat to the area. That part of the state has several Mennonite and Hutterite colonies which trace their roots back to Russia; they are mostly Germans who immigrated to the Crimean Peninsula of Russia under Catherine the Great. When Russia became less welcoming to Germans, they traveled to the United States; some finding their way to the Dakota Territory. They brought with them the recipes for shashlik. Shashlik literally translates from Turkic languages as “skewerable.” In their version, it was skewered chunks of meat grilled and served with flatbreads. Kind of sounds like the skewered lamb served with Texas toast I get at Botski’s today. Nearly a hundred fifty years later, Hutchinson County is still the epicenter of chislic in South Dakota and home to two of the holiest tabernacles of chislic—Meridian Corner and the Kaylor Locker. Meridian Corner is a legendary bar and eatery at the
corner of Highways 18 and 81. They are known far and wide as purveyors of fine chislic. Just a 30-minute drive west brings you to Kaylor, South Dakota, home to the Kaylor Locker. This humble butcher shop claims to be home to the original sheep chislic, and they supply the mutton chislic to bars across the area, including Meridian Corner. Since moving to South Dakota thirty years ago, I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten my weight in chislic. I’ve seen it in many forms; grilled chunks of beef generously seasoned with garlic salt; homemade venison shallow fried in oil, and variations with pork and chicken and even some that is breaded and fried. But my favorite is still fried lamb or mutton on wooden skewers. When we host visitors from out of state, we make sure to introduce them to chislic. It is, in my mind, the food that truly represents our state. I took three dozen sticks to my beloved’s family reunion last weekend and they disappeared in minutes. Just about everyone loves chislic. So, while I’m generally not a fan of legislators spending time and money on frivolous bills like choosing a state nosh, this is one case where it really seems to fit. Nosh on, South Dakota, nosh on! Do yourself a favor, eat something good today! When Jim’s not sampling chislic at South Dakota bars and restaurants, he runs ADwërks in downtown Sioux Falls.

When did that happen?) and my youngest, Jaxon, is a sophomore in high school. My middle son, Berent, is a high school junior and continues to redefine what it means to be the middle child. Not enough pages in this magazine to begin telling stories about him. But seriously, this time of year, when the kids pack their backpacks and put on their new shoes, I get a little nostalgic. As a kid, I loved the first day of school. New classes, new teachers, new students, new experiences, and, of course, new knowledge.

y collection of Jackrabbit yearbooks began when my husband, Shon, gave me a 1931 Jackrabbit for Christmas early in our marriage. Its brown leather cover is beautifully embossed with the Coughlin Campanile, and like all yearbooks, its pages are filled with images of students and the campus activities that showcase their schoolyear. And the best part? Reading the autograph messages from other students. It’s through these messages that I’m nearly always able to track down the photo of the Jackrabbit’s original owner. My favorite is a 1927 Jackrabbit that once belonged to a very popular co-ed, Mable Faulkner of Platte. It was only her freshman year, but if the nearly 100 messages

that fill the autograph pages are any indication, she made a lot of friends that year. Some of the handwriting is a bit difficult to decipher, from what I can read, the notes are filled with inside jokes, references to parties, picnics and her sweetheart, Jeff. Although Mable and her friends are no longer with us, their voices and shared experiences are familiar. Memories of my college days, college friends and our fun adventures together remain fresh in my mind. My days as a South Dakota State University student are some of my favorite. I’m sure independence has something to do with my fondness for those four and a half years. One of my college advisors described it best. “It’s the only time in your life when you can

I was also surrounded by friends, who had been long-distance acquaintances I had met through 4-H, FFA, Girls State or some other high school function, but now that we were all on campus together, we could hang out whenever we wanted. Of course, I also made many new friends. Since that first book, my husband has continued to hunt down Jackrabbits for me. The oldest one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found is a 1914 edition. As an agriculture journalist, 1914 has strong significance for me because several South Dakota agriculture organizations like SDSU Extension, 4-H and Farmers Union began that year. And, in 2014, I was fortunate enough to write articles celebrating their centennials.

The 1914 Jackrabbit’s cover is soft leather and very simple. However, most of the Jackrabbit covers are quite elaborate. Most are embossed. Many feature variations of the school mascot. The photos and voice of the Jackrabbit are reflective of the times and staff of students working on the book. When nicknames were a thing, one appears under nearly every student’s given name. When every event had a queen, there are pages of crowns. When streaking was in vogue, there are bare bums. These yearbooks provide an uncensored look at a time in the life of South Dakota college students – proving that although generations may separate us, we’re all a lot more alike than different. Because the world is small, I know some students from my 1960s and 1970s books. My mother-in-law gave me her Jackrabbit, we found

KNICK KNACKS OF LIFE
our daughter Parker’s honorary grandma, Judy, in another one and inside my 1960 edition, is my friend, Jim Woster as a college sophomore. Christmas 2017 I connected with the 1970 Jackrabbit editor via e-mail. We’d finished opening gifts, Parker was playing with her new toys, so I sat down and began flipping through the pages of the Jackrabbit Shon had given me. I was so captivated by Lee Halvorsen’s powerful editorial, I felt compelled to reach out to him. A quick Google search revealed an e-mail address. So, I sent a message simply letting him know I enjoyed his editorial. To my surprise, he responded and shared some interesting background information. Turns out the year(s) previous students were beginning to lose interest in the yearbook, leaving more than 1,000 copies behind. So, it was his goal to create something that
would be picked up. “I figured that the ‘60s generation was into what was happening in their world… when you pick up the book in 50 years, you should see what was happening on campus, what the campus issues were, what was happening in the world, what the global issues were, and if the planets were aligned, there might be a picture of you. To make it more interesting I added more color.” In the end, his peers loved the work he and his team published. As he said in his e-mail, “The traditionalists hated it. It got a “B” grade in the yearbook competition for the Midwest…But, every. single. book. was. picked. up.” In fact, based on the 1,000 books that went to waste the year before, and to help cover the cost of color, the staff ordered 1,000
fewer books. Students were so upset, some sued. Fortunately, the printer had some extra copies, which were presented to the judge, to give to the student(s) suing. The judge dismissed the case. By the time I enrolled at SDSU in 1998, yearbooks had lost momentum. It’s weird to admit this today, now that I’ve became an avid yearbook collector, but I didn’t even pick up a copy. At some point in the 2000s, they stopped printing them all together. Even without a yearbook, I do have plenty of scrapbooks and photo albums filled with photos, memories and messages from friends, so I guess I improvised. If you’re a curious alumnus and would like to view some vintage Jackrabbits, feel free to contact the SDSU Alumni Center at 605697-5198.

Sleep and the Athlete BY ALYSSA WALTMAN, AVERA HEALTH
A
s adults, we often wonder why toddlers and young children fight tooth and nail to avoid naps or to stay up just 15 minutes longer. When they reach the teenage years, the glorious reality of sleeping in on Saturdays or summer mornings finally sets in. See? Isn’t sleep amazing? However, it’s also during this time when teens and collegeage adults are cramming for tests and exploring their talents in extracurricular activities. With so much on their plate, sleep takes the back seat. It absolutely doesn’t take long to reap the effects of sleep loss; in fact, it’s almost immediate. “During adequate sleep, the brain files, sorts and prioritizes the information you’ve gathered over the day,” said Anthony Hericks, DO, Avera pulmonologist and sleep medicine expert. “Sleep greatly helps your overall health and well-being, which includes protecting your memory, assisting in recovery and regulating hormones.” When sleep is a priority, athletes can more easily learn plays, enhance muscle memory, and quickly recover from soreness and injuries — not to mention, play at their peak performance during games and practices. “LeBron James, NBA basketball player for the LA Lakers, reports that he plays his best with about 12 hours of sleep,” said Hericks. With their high intensity lifestyle, athletes need at least eight hours of sleep each night. A full night’s sleep comes in stages. The circadian

HEALTH & WELL-BEING
rhythm drives the internal clock of when you fall asleep as well as wake up. The stages are: • NREM Stage 1 – This light stage of sleep is just the beginning of every part of the body relaxing. You might experience the sensation of falling or sudden muscle jerks. • NREM Stage N2 – The second cycle constitutes of 50% of your sleep. During this time, brain waves slow down, body temperature decreases and heart rate relaxes. • NREM Stage N3 – Ever say something goofy in your sleep? The most restorative part of your sleep, the third cycle, is also the most interesting. Here, you may talk or walk in your sleep! • REM Sleep – Dreams occur during the REM cycle, which occurs every 90 minutes. The only way you’ll remember a dream is if you wake during this cycle. While many might think lack of sleep is just a rough day you must muscle through, sleep deprivation (even for just a couple days), can be as severe as alcohol intoxication. Likewise, sleep loss affects every area of the athlete’s health, and could have career-limiting consequences. Just some of the health problems alone include: • Increased risk of injury • Increased stress on the court and in school • Loss of creativity and confidence
“Sleep greatly helps your overall health and well-being, which includes protecting your memory, assisting in recovery and regulating hormones.” • Reduced ability to make snap decisions • Disorders to theGetting body’s hormones kids to put down their electronics and play outside • Cortisol, the stress hormone, rises is a no-brainer when your backyard contains a slackline! • Leptin, the satiety hormone, decreases • Ghrelin, the hormone which produces hunger, increases • Growth hormone, which controls aging, decreases “It’s easy for sleep to get off-kilter, but with effort, athletes or people in general can re-establish sleep hygiene that will restore function throughout the day,” said Hericks. Whether you are an athlete, or have an office job, consider implementing the following for a better night’s sleep: • Keep a log. The first step is recognition. Write down when you go to sleep, wake up, exercise and drink caffeinated beverages. • Set up a plan. If you’re dealing with chronic stress or insomnia, turn to a professional for medical attention. • Manage caffeine intake. Avoid drinking caffeine after 4 p.m. Caffeine is mostly found in coffee, tea, soft drinks and athletic drinks. • Watch napping. Naps are wonderful, but more than 30 minutes may make falling asleep at bedtime difficult. • Ditch the tech. Set your alarm, and then place your smartphone on a stand on the other side of the room and just go to bed. Leave it there. • Exercise earlier. Break a sweat earlier in the day because working out gets the blood flowing and increases your alertness. • Same time, every time. Wake up and fall asleep at the same time each day.

Fingerprint Ant Hill
Materials: Black paint, glue stick, brown and green construction paper, black marker, and scissors. Have your child draw their own ant hill onto brown construction paper, then cut it out. Glue this onto a piece of green construction paper. Carefully place the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingers into black paint, and place onto the brown paper, using their thumb for the abdomen, pinkie for the thorax, and pointer finger for the head. Once dried, draw on the legs and antennas with a black marker. You now have your own little ant hill that will surely make your child proud!

Painted Bug Leaves
Materials: Paint in a variety of colors, paint brushes, and leaves of various sizes. Find some leaves that will work well for painting, then let your kids use their imagination to paint the leaves with whatever colors they want, making one tip of the leaf black to allow for white eyes to be added at the end. Start making more while your first one dries and create an entire bug leaf family!
etc. for her | September 2019 71
Insect Hotel
Materials: A shallow box, scissors, a knife, and bug friendly nesting materials, such as sticks, bark, leaves, pebbles, grass, etc. An insect hotel provides a place for insects to hibernate during the upcoming winter and is a great reason for your kids to go on a scavenger hunt in your backyard. Once all of the buggy materials are gathered, break them into smaller pieces with scissors or a knife, if needed. Make sure everything fits tightly in compartments within the box you have chosen to be your insect motel. Feel free to glue everything in place if you plan to hang it up, or let it be loose if you are going to have the box lying flat. Decorate the outside of the box however youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like and display in your yard for bugs to find. Avoid using food scraps or nuts, unless you want to attract flies. Check back every once in a while, to see if you can find any activity in the hotel and encourage your kids to search for which bugs are residing there.
Nature Bug Creations
Materials: Leaves, sticks, and other elements found outside in your backyard, construction paper, and glue (optional). Tell your children to go on a hunt for materials outdoors that will work for creating insects out of leaves, sticks, rocks, and more. Then, sit down with your children and lay out some construction paper, then show them how to make various types of bugs, such as a beetle or a butterfly, and let them get creative with their creations. You may choose to glue your bugs in place to display or simply make it a temporary project for the day, treating the nature bugs more like a puzzle than a craft.

School Refusal SANFORD HEALTH
“I
have a tummy ache.” “You never want to hang out with me.” “School is dumb.” Three kids, three different statements. Ultimately, however, they could all be translated as: “Something at school makes me anxious, and I don’t want to go back.” That anxiety lies at the heart of “school refusal,” in which a child refuses to actively participate in his or her education, said Mathia Rall, a behavioral health specialist at Sanford Children’s Specialty Clinic in Sioux Falls. Interpreting the widely varying signs of school refusal, and then figuring out how to help their child, might seem daunting to parents. But it’s worth it to catch the issue early, Rall said. Or even possibly prevent it. “I always encourage families to be proactive rather than reactive. It’s much easier to manage when you’re proactive.” Anxiety about social dynamics at school is one common cause of school refusal — kids might feel like they don’t have any friends,

don’t fit in or have a connection with anyone at school, or another child is doing something to make them uncomfortable, Rall said. Something in the routine might be causing anxiety — especially if it’s new, like the transition from elementary to middle school. Feeling overwhelmed, incompetent or inferior in class — as though the other kids are smarter — can lead to school refusal. And children with a medical condition, such as diabetes or allergies, might feel anxious anticipating other kids’ questions or reactions to it. Younger children may give parents different clues than adolescents about their particular anxiety, Rall said. They might be more agitated than normal. They might seek more of a connection to the parent because they’re lacking a connection in school. So kids might follow a parent around, act needy, act less independent than before, want early childhood comfort items such as blankets and pacifiers again, have bathroom-related accidents, or say things like, “We never get to do anything together,” or, “How come I don’t get to decide anything?” They may complain of a stomach ache or headache — and
those complaints can be very real, manifested by the anxiety itself, Rall said. Adolescents may be more blatant about how they feel: “I hate school.” They may eventually become more angry, aggressive and obstinate: “I’m not going, and you can’t make me.” But they may not be able to articulate any better than younger children the cause of their anxiety. So Rall encourages parents to recognize the early signs. And then, “involve your village,” she said. “Ask for help, and do it sooner rather than later,” Rall recommends to parents. Reach out to friends and family, or find an online group to ask questions, or consult a therapist. “I answer phone calls all day long from families that ask, ‘Do you think my child needs to be seen?’” Rall said. In a phone call, she’ll freely offer strategies for them to try for a couple of weeks, for a variety of issues. If those don’t work, then it might be time to schedule a visit with a therapist. Contacting the school directly about the situation can be helpful, depending on the family’s relationship with the school. The school might send out a social worker or resource officer or staff member with a special connection to the child. “Schools have gotten creative, and in my experience … a lot of schools are very helpful and will help assist you in getting your child to school,” Rall said. “And they have a lot more services at their disposal.” Parents can work with the school to help their kids find connections, whether it’s to a person at the school, or in an afterschool club that interests them. Even an off-site activity after school can help, if it’s something fun they can look forward to. Times of transition can trigger anxiety about school. In the summer before a move from elementary to middle school, parents can walk the school grounds with the child. They can talk to the school about finding the child’s locker and practice opening it, or possibly meet the teacher beforehand.

My Grandma and Me by Mina Javaherbin In this big universe full of many moons, I have traveled and seen many wonders, but I have never loved anything or anyone the way I love my grandma. While Mina is growing up in Iran, the center of her world is her grandmother.

Felix Eats Up by Rosemary Wells Felix brings the same lunch to school every day: sprouts on buttered oat bread. He will also eat pasta with butter. And he loves macaroni and cheese. No need to try anything new. But on the night of his friend Fiona’s half-birthday celebration, Felix finds himself facing down an unfamiliar — and anxiety-provoking — menu. Will he leave the restaurant hungry, or can Fiona convince him to give new tastes a try? With singular compassion and humor, Rosemary Wells once again shows how the balm of friendship can help buffer a familiar moment of childhood angst. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com

But at Chloe’s birthday party Lionel goes too far, eating ALL the cake. If Lionel’s not careful, he’ll have the best of everything . . . except friends. Can he turn things around in time?

CHILDREN’S BOOKS
A Green Place to Be: The Creation of Central Park by Ashley Benham Yazdani In 1858, New York City was growing so fast that new roads and tall buildings threatened to swallow up the remaining open space. The people needed a green place to be — a park with ponds to row on and paths for wandering through trees and over bridges. When a citywide contest solicited plans for creating a park out of barren swampland, Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted put their heads together to create the winning design, and the hard work of making their plans a reality began. By winter, the lake opened for skating. By the next summer, the waterside woodland known as the Ramble opened for all to enjoy. Meanwhile, sculptors, stone masons, and master gardeners joined in to construct thirty-four unique bridges, along with fountains, pagodas, and band shells, making New York’s Central Park a green gift to everyone. Included in the end matter are bios of Vaux and Olmsted, a bibliography, and engaging factual snippets. Ages 7 yrs - 10 yrs candlewickpress.com
Looking for Yesterday by Alison Jay What could beat yesterday’s perfect day at the fair? Maybe nothing, one boy thinks, and he wishes he could go back and do it again. So he puts all his scientific knowledge to work, from stars to time machines to wormholes (is it possible he could find one in his garden?). He thinks that maybe Grandad could help him. But Grandad, in sharing some memories from his own past, reminds him that every new day brings the chance of a new adventure. With quirky illustrations imparting a sense of wonder, Alison Jay takes a fanciful look at being content in the here and now. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com
Let Me Sleep, Sheep! by Meg McKinlay It’s bedtime for Amos, who smiles as he closes his eyes and counts some fluffy sheep trotting away in the grass. Until suddenly . . . THUD. And then another. “Not again!” says the first sheep, now on Amos’s floor. “I was having my wool clipped,” grumbles the second. None too happy at being interrupted, the woolly pair fire a battery of questions at Amos, most importantly: “Where’s the fence?” So Amos sets out to build one to their specifications, then is asked to test it out, of course. . . . In this laugh-out-loud read-aloud, a couple of crafty sheep put a child through his paces — and show that a tuckered-out kid at bedtime is a win-win all around. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com
Riding a Donkey Backwards Wise and Foolish Tales of Mulla Nasruddin by Sean Taylor Would you like to know how a thief can turn into a donkey? Whether a cow can climb a pole?

Whether in the guise of an imam in a mosque or a beggar in the street, this trickster is never at a loss for a rejoinder, though it may leave you scratching your head, rolling your eyes, or laughing out loud. Enjoy twenty-one classic tales about a much-loved character from Muslim cultures in a book packed with jokes, riddles, and wisdom and paired with vibrant, theatrical illustrations.

DUCK! by Meg McKinlay When Duck runs around the farm shouting “DUCK!” to the other animals, they grow exasperated as they haughtily explain to Duck which animal is which. Unfortunately, something is falling from the sky. But perhaps “DUCK!” isn’t the best warning. Perhaps what Duck should have said is . . . “RUN!” Ages 5 yrs - 9 yrs candlewickpress.com
