T
hirty years ago, Eileen Donley had a vision – to create a place where people could come for relaxation and rejuvenation. From that vision came Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa, named for its original location at 49th Street and Southeastern Avenue. When the business outgrew that space, she moved it to 57th Street and Cliff Avenue. After a decade of business – and more growth – at that location, Donley built a new space in 2006 just off 69th Street and Cliff Avenue near the Sioux Falls Christian campus. There, she and her team continued to provide a wide range of salon and day spa services, including hair styling, makeup, massage, facials, pedicures and manicures. Over the past year, Donley says, Sioux Falls Christian explored opportunities to expand their campus, and she was entertaining thoughts of downsizing after more than 40 years of doing hair. Finally this summer, Donley decided to move Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa to a “little house” right in the hustle and bustle of Minnesota Avenue. While the address has changed a few times since 1990, one thing that has remained constant is Donley’s commitment to extensive continuing education for her team members, who are licensed as cosmetologists, nail technicians and massage therapists. “We want to ensure we are providing high quality services using the best techniques and products, and we do that through ongoing learning.” Donley’s team is ready to care for you, from head to toe. When it comes to hair, she says, the secret is that it’s a process. That’s why each cut starts with a complementary consultation, shampoo and relaxing scalp massage. Once your complete style is
etc. for her | November 2020 9
finished, you will also receive styling tips and product recommendations. Whether you need your regular cut or you have a special occasion coming up like a wedding or holiday party, the team can customize a look with color, curls and more to enhance your skin tone and facial features. Because skin is the largest organ of the body, the team at Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa has a line of facial services to help you care for yours. With spa facials,

they do a full dermal analysis to custom blend your facial treatment in all areas, such as cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage and moisture. The spa also offers an “express” version when you don’t have time for a full treatment or if you want to sample any of the special treatments they offer to address conditions such as clogged pores, acne, dry skin and skin firming. There are also facial services for men because, Donley says, facials can help smooth and retexturize,
making daily shaving easier. When you hear the term “day spa,” one of the first things that may come to mind is massage, and there are a variety of services to choose from at Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa. “Massage is one of the best things you can do for yourself,” says Donley, “because it benefits body, mind and spirit. Massage relaxes and stimulates muscles, keeping them flexible, relieving soreness and
stiffness and releasing tension.” You can try a variety of massage techniques, like Swedish or Deep Tissue, as well as Heated Stone that uses warm stones placed on the body to help provide a deep massage. The heat from the stones also helps boost the immune system. The spa also offers a tailored massage for women who are expecting, and all clients can add enhancements to their massage like custom-blended essential oils.
Finally, for hands and feet, the day spa has a wide array of manicure and pedicure services – both full treatments and “express” services – to improve the health and appearance of your nails…including a “foot tune up” for men. Donley says she and her team want to ensure clients love how they look and feel, and that’s why the day spa sells the products they use. Their product lines include American Crew, Aquage and Kenra for
hair, Bioelements skin care, bareMinerals makeup and O.P.I nail products. Whether you are looking for one particular service or you want to create a true spa day with several services, Donley’s team can help you find the best options from their extensive menu. “Whether it’s taking care of your skin or styling your hair,” says Donley, “we want to help you get that ‘spa day’ feeling every day.”

The Queen Bee Mill BY WAYNE FANEBUST
T
he Queen Bee Mill was the brainchild of R. F. Pettigrew, a Sioux Falls man with an appetite for big spending and building. By taking on the mill project, he was actually carrying out the ideas of the first white speculators who gazed in wonderment at the Falls of the Big Sioux River, awe-struck and amazed at the raw power of the water. It was said that a man from Maine became “halt mad” in the presence of the Falls and the roaring waters that overcame the quiet of the surrounding prairie. The first territorial governor of Dakota, William Jayne, said in his address to the legislature that the Falls of the Big Sioux River had the ”motive power to drive all the mills of New England.” Pettigrew recalled the time he was
20 out and about |
HISTORY
impressed by the sight of a long line of wagons, filled with wheat, creaking their way into Sioux Falls. There were mills on the Big Sioux River including the Cascade Mill, situated above the first cascade of the Falls, but Pettigrew wanted more. He understood that as time went on, more settlers would claim land and start farming, meaning the amount of crops grown would increase. A Sioux Falls newspaper printed a pamphlet that claimed Dakota Territory would grow wheat “as successfully as water rolls down a hill.” Pettigrew had similar beliefs and he decided that Sioux Falls needed a large and powerful mill to grind the valuable crop that the land was producing. Besides, a large, state-of-theart mill would put Sioux Falls on the map and in the minds of skeptical outsiders.
Pettigrew began making plans for such a mill to exploit the power of the Falls. One of the first steps was go get the property owners, W. W. Brookings and Dr. Josiah L. Phillips, to sell the proposed mill site to a group of New York City investors. Then June 2, 1879, it was announced in a Yankton newspaper that the mill property was about to be sold for $45,000.00. A month later, a Sioux Falls newspaper announced that banker George I. Seney, a New York capitalist and art collector, was the leading man in the group of investors, and that negotiations were ended and the deal closed. A company was formed to construct and own the Queen Bee Mill, and Pettigrew and Brookings were among the owners. The 81-acre purchase included the
R. F. Pettigrew
Falls and a heavily wooded island that the early settlers named “Brookings Island,” after W. W. Brookings, who claimed the beautiful piece of nature under a federal law known as the Pre-emption Act. Having paid only $1.25 per acre meant he made a bundle. His friend, former Dakota governor Newton Edmonds, also made a good haul. From a $60.00 investment in 1872, he walked away with $9500.00. Pettigrew also made a nice profit; money that he used to further his political goals. Not everyone was happy, however, for there was a small minority that wanted to preserve the area in its natural condition for a city park. These dreamy-eyed folks sensed an opportunity to create a city park for Sioux Falls that would rival Central Park in New York City. The idea failed to get
any traction, and Sioux Falls was forever denied the chance to create a magnificent park that would have embraced the Falls and the wooded island that was renamed “Seney Island,” in honor of the New York City banker. A wealthy stranger, cast his gilded net onto the Dakota frontier, and purchased a one-of-a-kind slice of natural beauty that should have been retained by the people and preserved in its natural state for all time to come. But it was not to be and the process moved forward. It seemed as if the world was watching Sioux Falls and its fabulous Falls, for when construction was started, a party of dignitaries, an estimated 500 people, some coming as far away as London, gathered at the site to witness the first dynamite blast in the quartzite stone
that was used to build the thick-walled, seven story structure. It was a spareno-expense extravaganza that included state-of-the-art machinery that everyone believed would grind wheat into flour, and bring unparalleled prosperity and prestige to Sioux Falls. It has been rumored that Pettigrew tricked Seney into putting up the cash for the mill. It was said that Pettigrew had a dam built somewhere up river from the Falls. He invited Seney to Sioux Falls and when the New York tycoon was at the site of the proposed mill, the dam was broken and a thunderous wave of water flowed over the Falls, thus convincing the banker to bank roll the project. The story is false, for there is no evidence that George I. Seney ever visited

Sioux Falls. Had a man of his stature set foot in Dakota, every newspaper in the territory would have bragged about the presence of such a prominent man. Not only that, Pettigrew had a reputation for being an honest businessman, and was not one who wanted to waste money. Pettigrew had dealings with Seney after the Queen Bee fiasco, something that probably would not have happened had there been trickery. Construction on the mill that would be named the Queen Bee Mill began in August of 1879. It took two years to complete the quartzite giant. The interior featured two miles of elevators, three miles of conveyors and ten miles of belting. First floor offices had speaking tubes so that there could be communication with the mill workers. The total cost of construction

HISTORY
was close to $500,000.00. After withstanding the terrible flood in the spring of 1881, the grinding of wheat into flour began on October 25, 1881. The “Queen Bee” was the featured brand of flour, with other brands such as “Jasper” and “Nellie Bly.” Despite the high expectations for the Queen Bee Mill, it went bankrupt and by 1883; and production stopped. Creditors were not paid and investors failed to turn a penny of profit. The water power proved to be insufficient during parts of the year and the supply of wheat was far less than was expected. The region was not wheat country after all. Other crops such as corn and oats were more successfully planted. It was a colossal failure, and owing to its large size, the Queen Bee was a constant reminder of a multitude of mistakes by
well-meaning people. There were other losses. Seney Island, a place of singular beauty, where the pioneers camped, held picnics and 4th of July celebrations, disappeared. The channel was filled with debris and dirt to accommodate a railroad. The loss of that scenic island is incalculable. There were other attempts to make the Queen Bee work, but by the end of World War I, it ceased entirely. Over time other businesses moved into the thick-walled monarch that seemed to be scowling down in mockery at the many dashed dreams that were scattered at its feet. Finally, a fire gutted the interior of old Queen on January 30, 1956, leaving a shell of stone, a fascinating relic of the past, a portion of which is still standing and has become a beloved feature of Falls Park.

His other books include ‘Twas The Night Before Christ; Santa’s Prayer; The Little Lost Sock; Return To The Farm – A Christmas Journey; The Greatest Gift – The Wise Ones’ Journey; On That One Christmas Eve; and A New Norm.

hat’s the greeting you see on the welcome mat of a quaint airbnb in the middle of Sioux Falls. This “Retro Retreat” is nestled into a neighborhood surrounded by trees and located just a few blocks away from Augustana University, Sanford USD Medical Center and the University of Sioux Falls. When you see the bright blue mailbox, you know you’re at the right place. Owners Tim and Jennifer Masters say the fully-furnished ranch-style house is perfect for long- or short-term stays. Guests are able to spread out in the entire house; with a kitchen, laundry, bathroom, 2 fully private bedrooms and a den/ bedroom that opens to the living room. “Mid-century is our vibe,” says Jennifer, “and we had a great time restoring and designing the funky, retro feel of our little house. It’s the perfect place to slip off your shoes and kick back after a long day.” The couple took on the renovation this spring and summer after looking for a property for about six months. “We knew we wanted to do this project, but the house needed to be in our neighborhood and price range, plus accessible for aging relatives who will stay when they visit us from out of town. When this house came on the market, we immediately jumped at it.” When it comes to mid-century décor, nothing says retro quite like beaded curtains, and the black and white strings of circles is adorable on the living room window. The room is furnished with an orange leather chair and ottoman and blue sofa with orange throw pillows. A throwback metal starburst clock hangs on the wall. You can unplug and enjoy the selection of games and puzzles, or you can put your feet up and turn on the smart

TV that is available for use with Netflix or streaming from your own device. The Masters found many furnishings in their own home and purchased others on Facebook marketplace, Craigslist or from used furniture dealers. “My husband thought I was crazy when I brought home an old console TV shell this summer,” she laughs. “He helped me install shelving and cut a panel for the front that I covered with a retro wallpaper sample. We were both pleased with how it turned out as our TV stand.” She adds that another “you’ve got to be kidding me” project was the living room’s accent wall, which she wanted to give some style and texture. Every time she looked at retro wallpaper or panels, though, they were out of her price range. After seeing some vinyl fencing panels online, Jennifer had an idea, which her husband and son brought to life by putting them up on the wall surface. “It turned out exactly as I imagined!”

The neighboring den also has a smart TV on the desk, outfitted with an HDMI cord in the event guests are working remotely and would like another monitor. The ladder shelf next to the desk is stocked with books, along with a whimsical pair of “his and her” planters. The futon in the den is available for relaxing or as a sleeping spot for additional guests. A framed caricature of Johnny Cash hangs on the wall, with words from “I Walk the Line” framed in another piece. Both bedrooms in the house have colorful Bohemian touches. The first has a bright black and yellow floral bedspread with a handmade mattress from Beds by Design. The cool clock radio looks retro, but it’s fully up-to-date as a bluetooth speaker. The second bedroom is a quiet little retreat with a Linenspa memory foam/hybrid mattress, and a macramé wall hanging that would have many people fondly remembering, “I used to have one like that!” The friendly kitchen has white cabinets with a black and white backsplash and has a full complement of appliances, dishes, pots and pans and other essentials like basic spices and oil. Masters says guests are always welcome to ask for anything else they might need. Oftentimes, she lends it to them from her own kitchen. The couple wants guests to feel at home, and in keeping with their retro vibe, there’s a classy cocktail shaker set in the kitchen.

You Can Go Back BY JIM MATHIS

MAN IN THE KITCHEN
T
he holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, are all about going home, whether that means going back to the homestead farm that has welcomed generations, the house where you lived in high school, or maybe just visiting your parents in the condo they downsized to as empty nesters. The latter has been my version for some years now and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. It’s still a chance to share time and love with family, and that’s far more important than the structure in which we gather. Last year my beloved and I did something different though. We still travelled to Des Moines to visit my mom and sister for Thanksgiving, but rather than stay at a hotel near one of their respective condos, we took advantage of a unique Airbnb opportunity. The house where my family lived from 1966 to 1974 – I was roughly age 2 to 10 – was now available to rent by the night. How could I resist? Now here’s where the story gets interesting; it’s not your ordinary house. This house on Urbandale Avenue in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines is one of a handful of small, round,
brick houses built just after World War II. The idea was that a round brick house would be more efficient to build, requiring fewer bricks than a rectangular house of similar size. Not having a flat, north-facing wall to catch the cold winter wind, it would be easier to keep warm too. What the builders didn’t account for is that the small, pie-shaped rooms and the rounded interior and exterior walls make placing furniture difficult. Growing up in that round brick house was an adventure. There were many jokes about mom not being able to make me sit in a corner…because it didn’t have any. People were curious about what it was like, and what kind of people would live in a round house? The answer was our little family. It was arty and creative and fit our family to a T. OK, perhaps that’s an exaggeration. It was a tight fit when it was just mom, dad, my brother, and me. The two bedrooms are the same size, barely fitting a queen-sized bed for my folks. But somehow, we’d squeezed two twin beds in the room my brother and I shared. Once my sister came along, “the boys” moved to a make-shift room in the basement. My parents

A trip down memory lane might be just what you need this winter.
pondered adding on, but the only logical way to expand was up, and they couldn’t find a contractor to add a second story. With the revelation that this cool round house didn’t fit us anymore, my family packed up and moved to the suburbs. In the 45+ years since we moved from that house, I’ve driven by hundreds of times, often tempted to stop and knock on the door and ask for one more chance to walk through, relive a few memories, and see what had changed over the years. But I never did. Then my mom sent me a link to a news story about Airbnbs in the Des Moines area, and one of the homes featured was that quirky, little round house. It’s a popular rental so it took me more than a year to find a time when we could book it. With some early planning, we reserved it for the Thanksgiving weekend. I guess you can go back! Entering the house after all that time, I was struck by the feeling it was much smaller than I’d remembered. Perhaps the fond memories made it seem larger than life, or maybe it was the change in perspective from a 10-year old to middle age. While the kitchen and bath had been updated, I could still remember the kitchen floor where my brother and I played with live lobsters dad had brought back from a business trip to Maine. Their claws were banded and they moved slowly across the linoleum, but as young boys we were fascinated by the giant bug-like creatures. Then mom sent us outside to play for a while. When we returned and washed up for dinner, the lobsters were ready to eat. It may sound cruel, but it was pretty cool to this little kid. The dining room is right in the middle of the house, nestled in a curved interior wall, and it truly was the center of the home. It’s

where we ate, played games and did homework. And it was at the round table that I recall one of my favorite meals. My brother was staying with a friend and my sister had yet to join the family, so my parents made a big deal about that particular Friday night being all about me. I got to choose the menu and like any good kid, I picked pizza! Dad stopped and picked up a pie on his way home from work, and as I recall, it took up most of the table. Again, the memory may be shifted by time and perspective, but there it was, a really big pizza, just for Mom, Dad and me! I ate and ate until I was literally sick, but it was my night, my pizza, and as it turned out, my turn to puke. Funny how what could be a bad memory lives in my mind as a great night! Many things have changed; the mulberry tree in the back yard that stained so many bare feet and blue jeans was gone. The onebedroom shack of a house next door where Old Man Jones lived has been replaced by a beige two story. The elementary school I’d walked to just two blocks away is gone. Its land is now a park, and the giant hill we would climb and sled down must have eroded over the years, it’s not nearly the daunting peak it once was. You can go back home, even if just for a couple of nights to relive a few memories. A trip down memory lane might be just what you need this winter. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today. When Jim’s not reliving well-worn memories, he runs ADwërks, an advertising and marketing communications agency, from HQ in downtown Sioux Falls (and from our team’s home offices, kitchen tables and spare rooms.)

Happy Thanksgivino BY RICCARDO TARABELSI
N
o, that’s not a typo. It occurred to me while busting my brain for a Thanksgiving themed wine article that by changing one letter I was able to embed the word “vino” in the title of this column. I love it when things work out. This year for Thanksgiving, think diversity. Thanksgiving dinner is tricky. It’s a hodge-podge of competing flavors: salty, sweet, sour, savory, rich, earthy, and everything in between. Diversify your wine selections, and you will be sure to hit the perfect pairings. Below are eight suggested pairings to make your Turkey Day a little easier.
etc. for her | November 2020 37
#1 Butternut Squash Soup – Sparkling Rosé
#5 Cornbread Dressing – Chardonnay
Like in a perfect marriage, they bring the best out of each other. The sour rose petals and raspberry notes in the wine brighten the dense quality of the soup, while the soft texture of the soup enhances the fruitiness and elegance of the wine.
One of my favorite wine pairings for anything with corn in it is Chardonnay. I enjoyed a fantastic unoaked Chardonnay from California, and I still remember how well the flavors of the luscious Chardonnay match the sweet creaminess of corn. This is a no-brainer pairing.
#2 Mashed Potatoes with Gravy - Riesling Mashed potatoes are creamy and buttery, and gravy is fatty and salty, so take both of these characteristics into consideration. Your wine needs to have enough acidity to cut through the butter, but it also needs to have a bit of sweetness to bring down the salt component. Even if you’re resistant to trying wines with a bit of residual sugar, you will be pleasantly surprised by this pairing.
#6 Sausage and Sour Dough Stuffing (with Cranberry Sauce) – Zinfandel
#3 Brussels Sprouts – Pinot Gris
#7 Herb Roasted Turkey – Valpolicella
Pairing wine with brussels sprouts is not an easy task, and you really have to think outside the box. The bitter and salty components of this dish have to be slightly matched, while being contrasted. Try it with a Pinot Gris, which is an Alsatian grape with an almond-like bitterness laced with white flowers and peaches.
Unsure of whether you should pair your turkey with white or red? Very few dishes in the world cry out for Valpolicella like the classic Thanksgiving Day turkey. If you are not in the mood for an Italian wine (seriously, who’s NOT in the mood for an Italian?) look for a lighter bodied Pinot Noir from California.
#4 Green Bean Casserole – Sauvignon Blanc
#8 Pumpkin Pie – Moscato d’Asti
You’re going to have choose a contrasting wine, otherwise you will not be able to have more than just a few bites. You will need a bright, herbaceous, and high acidity wine like Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand or a Chenin Blanc from France.
Similar to the butternut squash soup, texture is the important element in this dessert. This has a sweet, creamy, and fruity quality to it, which is better paired with likeflavored wines.
38 nest |
VINO
This is a perfect example of when condiments dictate the pairing. The richer and heavier the stuffing, the bigger and bolder the wine needs to be. Zinfandel is a natural fit for this portion of the feast.
This year, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink one-dimensionally, pick a variety of wines to pair with all of the different flavors on your menu. This way, you will not only augment the food you serve, but you will also satisfy the different palates sitting at your table. Happy Thanksgivino! Carpe Vino!

nstable, unforeseen and unexpected are polite words to describe 2020. For this gal who loves to plan and work toward a plan, 2020 often leaves me feeling quite frustrated. However, for all its challenges, changes and cancelled plans, 2020 is a year when it becomes quite easy to think of things to be thankful for. All I need to do is listen to my favorite National Public Broadcasting news show, “All Things Considered.” Within a few minutes, a story about job loss or loss of a loved one quickly reminds me that I have much to be grateful for. For starters, we’re all healthy. My husband, Shon, and I are both able to contribute to our dual-income household budget. And I have a large and loving family. When I think of this large family tree, in addition to those I’m blessed to be connected to through biology and matrimony, its branches and leaves include friends and neighbors. Over time, it is easy to lose touch with friends who don’t live in the same zipcode...or state. But during the isolated months of March and April, when all after-school and work activities were cancelled, Shon and I found ourselves making

time to reconnect through Zoom chats or calls. There’s a lot of comfort found in conversations with friends who knew me before I became a full-fledged adult with a mortgage and family. With each conversation, I realize that even though so much has changed, my friends have not. They remain the same smart, funny and interesting individuals I was first drawn to. And then there are the friends I’ve gotten to know as a grownup. These are friends who it used to be easy to connect with...today it just takes a bit more creativity. Fortunately, we have found ways to meet up safely distanced outdoors or indoors with masks. It’s handy that many of our friends can be found within our neighborhood. A small community within our state’s largest city, the Cathedral Historic District is closeknit. We not only know our neighbors, but they leave baked goods and garden vegetables on our porch. It’s a place where we rarely go on a walk without stopping for a visit. To get our steps in and give our minds a break from online school and work, around lunch time I take a daily walk through the neighborhood with our daughter, Parker and puppy, Tulip. Our typical route takes us by our neighbor’s Sam and Gail’s

home. If they aren’t out of doors, Parker often asks me to dial them up and ask them to step outside to say “hello.” A few blocks north, we stop in front of Jean and Gene’s to read the riddle Jean daily chalks on the sidewalk. Tulip also makes our walks entertaining. We joke that our puppy is the neighborhood janitor because she picks up any trash left along the way. Now that the sidewalks are covered in leaves, she reminds me of a cartoon gopher burrowing her head through leaves as we walk along, and she continues her hunt for garbage. As with all pets I’ve ever raised, Tulip is also a part of my family tree. Nearly a year old, and still a bit too much puppy, she is a daily reminder not to take myself too seriously. The other day she grabbed a plastic package of fruit snacks off the kitchen counter. Eager to stop her from swallowing the package, I reached out to grab it. My action signaled to her that it was playtime. A five minute chase in circles around the coffee table began...and did not stop until I finally thought to bring in reinforcements. One cannot help but laugh while chasing a puppy around in circles. Spontaneous laughter feels so good. Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING
The Importance of Annual Women’s Checkups in 2020 BY DR. ELIZABETH HULTGREN, M.D., PH.D. OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, SANFORD HEALTH
A
nnual checkups are the best way for you to touch base with your health care provider and help stay healthy, and it’s important to keep up with them even during the pandemic. Plenty of people haven’t, and their health could suffer later. When COVID-19 hit, Americans scaled back routine visits in every area, from pediatrics to cancer screening to contraception. Mammograms and Pap smears were down more than 80% in April and continued to be down 25% in June from previous years. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 41% of U.S. adults had avoided medical care due to COVID-19 concerns.
Why should women have annual checkups? Annual checkups are a time for yearly screenings, discussing changes in personal and family medical history, as well as identifying risk factors you can change to improve your overall health and wellness. For women, these exams often include: • Screening for cancer (cervical, breast, colon, etc.) • Discussing family planning needs, including the use of contraception • Learning about signs and symptoms of menopause and how to manage them Several topics within the field of gynecology are often considered taboo and thus not regularly discussed. Many women may feel that the symptoms they are experiencing are “normal” or “just part of the aging process.” By keeping regular annual exams and discussions with your provider, we can address and treat whatever signs and symptoms you may be experiencing and improve your overall quality of life.
Why do women tend to see their doctor less often once they are done having children? Women as the matriarch of the household tend to put the needs of their family and loved ones above their own. They will often invest their time and energy into the health of their families, but may not exert the same attention to their own personal well-being. Furthermore, many young women are relatively healthy and may not realize that there are important benefits to continuing yearly exams with their health care provider.
What do you say to patients unsure about annual exams? First of all, it’s safe to seek care. Sanford Health has taken steps to make hospitals and clinics safe, including masking and screening all employees, social distancing in waiting rooms, limiting visitors, and keeping COVID-19 patients in separate units. Even in a normal year, going to see a physician can be an intimidating experience. I try to reassure patients that a physician’s office is a judgement-free environment in which your provider is there to work with you in reaching your wellness goals and help keep you as healthy as possible. Annual exams help ensure early detection of conditions you may have or be at risk for developing by setting a baseline for what is normal for you. It is easier to treat you when we identify disease early. Additionally, regular exams focus on preventing or reducing problems before they start. By participating in regular exams, you can build a relationship with your provider and develop a trusting partnership for health care throughout your lifetime.

Grit and Resilience BY PATRICIA BATES, FAMILY LIFE EDUCATOR, WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S COMMUNITY OUTREACH EDUCATION, AVERA MCKENNAN HOSPITAL & UNIVERSITY HEALTH CENTER

s parents we want to see our children succeed. A big part of teaching our kids to succeed involves letting them be frustrated or fail. Sometimes in an effort to protect our kids we shelter them from important life lessons. Life will have ups and downs we can’t protect our kids from, we need to give them skills to cope with those stressors. Resilience is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It is important for kids and teens to have skills to cope with

stress, to be able to recover from setbacks and to be able to plan for the future. In order to succeed in life kids have to be resilient, to have some grit. Grit is described as passion and perseverance to achieve ones goals. Grit has been found to be as important to school success as IQ. How can we teach our kids to be resilient in the face of hardships or stressful situations? What kind of skills can increase a child’s determination to complete a goal that is hard for them to achieve?
d l i h C r u o Y p l Tips to He
e r e v e s r e P
• Encourage competency by focusing on children’s strengths and empowering them to make decisions • Don’t compare siblings. Recognize that each child has different strengths. • Provide honest and sincere praise. Praise the child’s effort and not just the end result. • Nourish strong bonds with your child, make sure they know they can come to you and discuss frustrations or anxiety. Stay connected as a source of support.
• Help your child plan ahead. Show them how to use a calendar to plan, create todo lists, give them the tools to create a long-term plan to reach their goals. • Provide your child with challenging activities that aren’t easy for them. It is good for kids to learn to work through frustration. • Don’t always provide your child with the answer, help them problem solve and work through the situation. • Encourage them to take healthy risks such as trying out for the school play or trying a new sport.
• Encourage them to be a part of the community and show them that their behavior affects others. By helping others, it may help them feel empowered.
• Help them label feelings and emotions, it is much easier to cope with jealousy or anxiety if you know how to describe what you are feeling.
• Model positive coping skills when dealing with stress or frustration in your life.
• Encourage coping skills for dealing with stress such as deep-breathing exercises.
• Focus on your child’s strengths to increase their confidence.
• Let kids know that it is OK to fail or make mistakes. Help your child to grow from these experiences.
• Teach them to start small when dealing with a problem. • Train them to see a challenge as a lesson they can learn from.
• Promote optimism, teach your child to see the good in a difficult situation. • Cultivate a belief in their ability to cope.
Teaching our kids to have grit and resilience could be one of the best tools we give them. Having the ability to keep going when you begin to feel frustrated or overwhelmed can help you succeed in many aspects of life. We can’t eliminate all the stress and challenges in our kids’ lives but we can give them the skills and tools to cope with these challenges in a positive way. As a parent you play an important role in helping your child learn to adapt to whatever comes their way.

Natural Fall Wind Chime Materials: Fall elements from the outdoors, yarn or twine, and scissors. Using two sticks, make an X and secure by weaving some twine or yarn over and under the center until they stay in place. Add a piece of yarn to the top of the center of the X, which will be used for hanging the wind chime. Tie the yarn tightly in place around the sticks. Choose various colors and textures of outdoor elements that represent the fall season, such as pine cones, colorful leaves, pine tree leaves, etc. Next, find an element such as a heavier piece of wood or rock, to anchor the wind chime in place. Cut five long pieces of yarn or twine, at least 24 inches long. Tie one piece of yarn to your heavier element, then tie the other end to the center of your sticks that make an X shape, letting it hang down from the middle of the X. Find a good place to hang your wind chime, where you can reach it as you finish the craft. Tie various elements, one at a time, to the other pieces of yarn, about 2 inches apart. Be sure to leave enough room on the yarn at the top to allow for tying to the ends of the X shape. Tie each finished piece of yarn to each end of the X. Once finished, hang in its final location and enjoy the beautiful dance in the wind!

Begin by painting your pumpkin from the bottom to about two-thirds up with a brown or tan color. Let the paint dry. This part is your plain donut. Next, paint white around the top of the pumpkin, meeting where your previous paint ends. Once the white paint is dry, start to paint small dots of various colors for the sprinkles on top of the white frosted donut. The kids will love to choose their favorite colors and carefully dot each one on around the top of the pumpkin. Let this dry, then display for fun or for the holidays.

Woven Thanksgiving Mat Materials: Red, orange, yellow, green, and brown construction paper, scissors, glue. Take a vertical piece of brown construction paper and fold the bottom to the top. Carefully cut a straight line from the middle of the fold to about an inch from the end of the paper. Repeat this on either side of the middle cut, until you have eight strips cut into the paper. Open the brown paper, and you will see that it is ready to be woven. Next, take each color of paper, and make the same cuts you just made on the brown piece. However, this time you can cut all the way to the ends, creating eight strips of each color of paper. Depending on the size of your mat, you may or may not use every strip you have just cut out. With a weaving pattern, alternate colors through the brown paper, creating a woven mat with festive colored paper. Cut the ends of your paper strips to line up with the brown paper, then glue the ends in place. Add some Thanksgiving elements, and your mats are ready for placing!
