8 out and about | CONCIERGE BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY Make a Stop at the Soda Shop
Opening right around the July 4 holiday gave the team a chance to highlight summer flavors like the Island Breeze with Mountain Dew, guava, passionfruit and pineapple, or
etc. for her | September
When you think of a soda shop, images of old 1950s movie may come to mind, or perhaps you had a neighborhood drug store with a soda fountain when you were a kid.
The concept seems simple. First, you choose a base of soda, diet soda, tea, water, sparkling water or an “energy base” (Pepsi Red Alert). Then, add a flavor or two. Then, you have your drink, right? In theory, yes. However, SoDak Soda offers more than 20 base options and 50 add-ins, ranging from regular and sugar-free syrups to fruit purees and creams. Fortunately, the expert mixologists have taken some of the guesswork out of the equation for you by testing and creating a list of “favorites” displayed on the menu – categorized by the base type. There are flavors they like to pair with a Coke/Pepsi/Dr. Pepper base, for example, like the Abby Lou made with salted caramel and French vanilla. That one happens to be named for the owners’ daughter Abby, who works as one of the mixologists.
During trips to the western United States, in places like Utah, Katy Rees and her family saw these shops and started talking about how fun it would be to have one in Sioux Falls. Rees and her husband, Dr. Joseph Rees, reached out to the owners of an Arizona “mom and pop store” for guidance and were thrilled when those store owners became their mentors.
2022 9
A Sioux Falls family recently re-introduced the concept of a neighborhood soda shop with SoDak Soda, a gourmet soda bar that opened in July at the Three Rivers business development just off 85th Street and Western Avenue.
“We’re a locally-owned business, not a chain,” Rees says. “We look at what other shops are doing, and we are grateful for their guidance, but ultimately, we are the decisionmakers. It’s both exciting and a little scary!”
“My brother came to town to visit, and he took some pictures downtown, like the Diner and the Orpheum theater. We showed them to Lenae and her team to see which ones we might be able to use. My brother didn’t get to the State Theater, but one of the designers, Tammy, took that picture. They tied the prints in with the color scheme of the whole store, and we love how it turned out.”
SoDak Soda 2305 W. Trevi Place Sioux Falls, SD 57108
There are a variety of seating options, from the cool yellow stools paired with the window counter, and high-topped tables with orange stools to the comfy aqua chairs nestled in the corner below what the Rees family calls the “Sioux Falls wall.”
10 out and about | CONCIERGE Beach Day with Sierra Mist, coconut, guava and fresh lime. If regular soda isn’t your thing, you can try a lemonade base like the Berry Bliss that adds blackberry, raspberry and strawberry. Or, just add one of the flavors or fruit purees to a glass of sparkling water.
Monday-ThursdayHours:9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Sunday – Closed
“We love the bright colors they chose,” Rees says of the yellow, orange and aqua blue color scheme. “The space is bright and fun and invites people to come in and sit a while.”
If you’re the kind of person who likes a snack with your soda, you’re in luck. Rees has a kitchen on site, where they bake fromscratch treats like cookies and Rice Krispie bars. If you prefer salty over sweet, they also offer warm pretzels as well as chips and salsa.
“It was really important to us that we offer something for everyone,” Rees says. “That’s why we wanted to have water, sparkling water, lemonade and tea in addition to the soda options. We also have several of our flavored syrups that are sugar free. Our purees are slightly thicker than our flavored syrups, but they are made with real fruit.”
Be sure to follow SoDak Soda on social media for flavor combination highlights and other specials. A final note: Since drivers can’t turn off 85th Street into the Three Fountains business development, here are quick directions: From south Western Avenue, turn right on Trevi Place (before 85th Street) and follow that curve. From 85th Street (traveling east or west), turn on Kenton Lane, and then turn right onto Trevi Place. It’s worth the trip.
While SoDak Soda does have a drivethrough, it is probably best to go inside for your first visit or two so you can have time studying all of the flavor combinations. Just because there is a printed menu, that doesn’t mean your choices are limited to what you see there. The team of mixologists is always working to find that next great flavor combination, which you can find on rows of sticky notes they put on the counter with their latest creations for you to try.
When it came time to pull together the look of their shop, the owners turned to Lenae Design, a local design firm.
As the seasons change, Rees says, they will likely have some special flavor features. They are already planning to add hot chocolate to the menu this winter, complete with flavor add-ins.

After taking two years off to protect the health of our people, the Northern Plains Indian Art Market is proud to announce our return for our 33rd year. This continues the tradition of celebrating world-class American Indian art, from September 23-25, in Sioux Falls. Northern Plains Indian Art Market is an international gathering of American Indian artists—those who work in contemporary fine arts and those who create art using traditional materials, methods and styles. Once again, the event showcases more than 30 professional artists and features local artists such as: Keith Brave Heart, Don Montileaux, Jim Yellow Hawk, Dwayne Wilcox, Jennifer White, Lynn Burnette, and Richard Red Owl.
Our people are the roots that makeup Plains Commerce Bank. We believe that a company is only as good as its people and ours are pretty great. This is why we always put our people first and emphasize the balance between life and work. Unity, empathy, and respect create a sense of family and we believe coming together as one is the creation of a community.

The Northern Plains Indian Art Market started in 1988 by American Indian Services, Inc., of Sioux Falls, SD, as the Northern Plains Tribal Arts Show. American Indian Services produced the juried art show and market from 1988 to 2003. Since 2004, Sinte Gleska University of Mission, South Dakota, has been the producing show. To be eligible to enter the Northern Plains Indian Art Market, an American Indian artist must be an enrolled member of one of 35 tribes in the United States and Canada that the show recognizes as “Northern Plains.” In over 30 years of its existence — one of the longest running Indian art shows in the country — over 800 artists from seven Northern Plains states and 2 Canadian provinces have shown their work.

Q&A with Joe Gatto
It’s hard to say, after a decade with so many episodes, a ton of moments stand out. I think a highlight for me was being dressed as a genie and the guys using my body as a wrecking ball to destroy the set of a local production of “Arabian Nights” while I was strung to wires so I could fly. If we are talking about what I did to the other guys, it was when we played a major mind trick on Sal for his punishment when he was not sure if it was a punishment. I used his own mind against him, knowing he’d be running around that hamster wheel in his head and get himself in a tizzy. I am most proud of that. It truly showed how well we know each other, and it was one I had to convince everyone would work. And it did, famously. The most uncomfortable is super easy to identify, it was my punishment when an all-star Mets pitcher was throwing signed baseballs into the stands to children and I had to steal them all. Then I put them in my fanny pack and tell people that they could get them on eBay. Let’s just say the parents were not very happy with me. Did anyone ever get slapped or attacked mid-joke on the show? No.The show was always aimed inward. If we were making people mad, we weren’t really capturing the essence of the show. Since you left Impractical Jokers,you are now involved multiple podcasts and also touring solo. Please tell us about those 2 endeavors and what fans can expect at the your solo stand up shows. My stand-up show is just that, an hour comedy set telling stories from my life, from on the show and off. It’s really a night with me now, where when I was touring with the guys, I’d be part of a foursome and only responsible for 25% of the funny. Now, I get to talk about my friendships with the guys, my childhood, my experiences with parenting and of course dogs. People really got to see my personality on the show, so if you laughed at me there, you will laugh at me on stage. That’s the benefit of not playing a character, I’m just crazy ass JoeTheGatto.podcast came about because I always wanted to work with the very funny and talented comedian friend of mine Steve Byrne. I’ve known him for like 10 years. He actually opened for us during the Jokers arena tour in the United Kingdom. So when I got some time on my hands, we teamed up to create “Two Cool Moms.” The premise of the show is that we both had really amazing moms growing up that gave us some excellent life advice, and we like to think we’ve inherited that trait. We start each episode off talking about our moms and childhood, then get into answering listener submitted questions and helping them with their dilemmas. You are very passionate about senior dog rescue and AntiBullying.Where did those passions start from? I was a victim of bullying from a young age and luckily I was able to use my humor as a suit of armor against it. As I grew in fame and met more fans, I realized I had a lot of younger fans that dealing with it too and felt I could help with some advice when meeting them and listening to their stories. So I wanted to use my platform to help let people know that they are not alone and it will get better. We all go through tough times, so at least try to laugh.The dogs are a result of us getting our first dog Cannoli who came from a puppy mill and needed a ton of surgeries and tests within the first year of having her. It opened my eyes to the industry as a whole, and opened our hearts and home to rescuing. It was then that The Gatto Pups were born and we’ve tried to do our part to give dogs a good life instead of a shelter life, especially the old ones on their way out. It also has taught my kids with Washington
What is the best joke that appeared on Impractical Jokers? And what made you the most uncomfortable?
Joe Gatto, a well-known comedian, actor and producer, is best known for the hit TV shows “Impractical Jokers” and “The Misery Index.” He is one of the founding members of The Tenderloins Comedy Troupe who has toured with a live comedy show to sold-out crowds across the world, including legendary arenas like Madison Square Garden in New York and the O2 Arena in London. Joe also is a co-host of the Two Cool Moms Podcast and has appeared on hit podcasts including This Past Weekend with Theo Von, What a Joke with Papa and Fortune, and Life Is Short with Justin Long. Joe loves spending time with his two children and his ever-growing pack of rescue dogs affectionately known as the “Gatto Pups.”
compassion, especially my daughter. She is super lovey with them all. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently? Spending more time with my kids has really made me see the humor in parenthood. They are just such interesting little humans and make me laugh so hard. We recently went to the theme park Legoland. My daughter is a daredevil. My son, not so much. The whole time riding the baby dragon coaster he was yelling “I want Grandpa!” but his grandfather wasn’t even in the park with us, he was two hours away at home on Long Island. I guess he hoped Grandpa would have heard him. Being on the road is always so much fun too. Meeting people and interacting with the fans is always great and you never know what can happen. I hooked up two single audience members who came solo to one of my shows while on tour in Columbus Ohio. They really hit it off. The guy thanked me after, saying he’s always had problems coming out of his shell and they exchanged numbers. I told him if it goes the distance he has to name his first born Larry. If you could only choose one song to play every time you walked into a room for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Scoopskie Potatoes Brown. For obvious reasons. What fictional character do you identify with the most? Why? My man was always Bugs Bunny. I loved Looney Tunes growing up. He’s funny. He’s fearless. He’s a leader. He has a heart. I have some of the greatest memories from my childhood laughing and watching him with my family. And now, I get to do that with my kids now and relive that joy. What part of the human face is your favorite? Eyes. They do a lot. See, cry, blink. I also think I would not be half as funny without the expressive eyes I have. When I am taking pictures with my fans during the meet and greets after my shows, I’m asked all the time to “do that thing with your eyes.”

What do you want to be when you grow up? A movie director. It has been my dream since a child and the reason I actually even pursued a career in entertainment. It is what I am working actively towards now. Movies are magical, and mean so much to so many. I really think to be part of that world is amazing and I have always connected with films across so many genres that tell a great story.

What kid’s movie is scary to you? I watch a lot of them now with my kids, but the latest Minions was a bit intense. LOVE that franchise. My daughter has been a minion like 3 years in a row for Halloween. My son got a little freaked out when we watched it in the theater. I mean Gru is running for his life during the first 12 minutes of the movie. Plus Steve Carrell is a comedic god. What TV or movie character would you most like to have lunch with? Han Solo. I think he’d have some amazing stories to share. And hopefully he’d bring Chewbacca as his plus one. What are 10 uses for a stapler? Other than what it was designed for.

“I work downtown, and I just love the feel of downtown,” says Store, who moved into a loft at the Harvester Building in March of 2021. “I was ready to downsize and simplify life a Whilebit.” it is a change from a full-fledged house on a corner lot, the 1700 square foot loft has two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and ample living space in the open kitchen, dining room and living room space. The big selling point for Store, though, was the incredible character of the loft.
“I love the old wood floors, the exposed brick, the duct work that you can see; all of it,” she says. “It fits me because my design taste is eclectic. I like traditional, I like contemporary, I like industrial, and this gives me a little bit of everything.”
Oftentimes, a doorway into a loft will open into the main living space. Here, however, you walk through an entry hallway, giving Store the opportunity to dress it up with a coat tree and abstract art on the wall. The primary bedroom is just off the hallway, bright and airy with a large, uncovered window.
“Being on an upper floor, I felt like I could leave all the windows uncovered. There’s just an office building next door, and they aren’t there at night,” she laughs. “It did take a little
The idea of living downtown had been in the back of Hope Store’s mind for quite a while, however, and it felt like the time was right once both kids were out of high school.
It can be a challenge to leave a home where you have spent well over a decade of your life. Whether it’s the sentimental memories of having watched your kids grow up there or the simple enjoyment of having a yard of your own, the tugging at the heartstrings is real when you decide to make a big change and downsize.

“There’s my touch of contemporary,” she says. The kitchen layout is what Store would call more “traditional,” with matching upper and lower wood cabinets.

The movement basically disappeared in the 1880s, perhaps due to the lure of a strong economy, Then, in 1915, the motion picture Birth of a Nation, directed by David W. Griffith, appeared in theaters throughout America. Its theme was overtly racist and anti-immigrant. But in a country that was strongly influenced by the politics of nationalism and nativism, the movie was wildly popular throughout the land. As a result, the Klan enjoyed a nationwide resurgence with chapters popping up across the nation, including South Dakota. Encouraged by Griffith’s film, demagogues found fertile grounds for their hate speech.
nest | HISTORY
The Confederate army had been soundly defeated in the many fields of battle, but some of the survivors were determined to do more than rise from the ashes. Riding out at night in white robes and hoods, and carrying torches, the Klansmen meant to cover up the past and forge a future for white protestant’s only.
Anyone expecting to see a picture of a historical marker in connection with this article will be disappointed, for none was ever dedicated to the ugly presence of the Ku Klux Klan in South Dakota. The Klan, which began in the Southern states, in the aftermath of the Civil War, was a secret society created to air white grievances and prevent ex-slaves from exercising their rights as citizens. The over-weaning purpose of the Klan was to redeem the principals of the Confederacy, including the supremacy of the white race, and restore the old southern plantation culture to a position of political prominence.
The Klan’s goal was to purify America. They wanted to root out shirkers, idlers, alien enemies and all others who were viewed as a threat to the country. And far from being dangerous, they proclaimed that they were good neighbors and that a non-Klansman might sit next to a Klansman in church or at a school board meeting. To attract new recruits, the organization claimed that it was opposed to dope dealers, bootleggers, thieves, adultery, commercialized sex, men of bad business ethics and violators of the Sabbath. Only those folks who were “100% Americans,” according to the Klan’s standards, were considered to be desirable citizens. Everyone else was urged to conform or face the consequences of non-conformity. This meant that many men moved about cautiously, while looking over their shoulders from time to time. The first Klan chapter in South Dakota was formed in 1921, with the towns of Canton and Beresford chosen as the early sites. By 1922, the Klan could boast of having a membership of about a 1000 South Dakota men, and growth continued at a fast pace. By 1925, every part of the state had its Klaverns that held meetings, conducted rallies and 44
Recruits were mainly Protestants from small towns or rural areas, united in their fear and hatred of Catholics, Asians, Jews, people of color, and in general, anyone suspected of being “un-American.” Klan leaders promoted white supremacy while seeking to root out people who were not “loyal,” 100 percent American. The Pope in Rome was one of their principal targets.

Taking a que from Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederate States of America, the Klan did its best to publicize what became known as the “Lost Cause.”
burned crosses at night. Each unit published a journal of sorts as if they wanted to educate the public. While they passed themselves off as loyal Americans, good citizens and neighbors, the Klansmen regularly intimidated or threatened people suspected of being disloyal or otherwise undesirable. They boasted that their organization could solve any problem “your community might have.” Their Sioux Falls headquarters was at 120 North Main Avenue in the Strand building.
The evil influence of the Klan diminished greatly in the 1930s, because of the depression that imposed other demands on the people of America. And fortunately, the organization has never been able to resume its former popularity and strength. But the movement simmers beneath the surface. Occasionally, as was the recent case in Charlottesville, Virginia, when a white supremacist organization conducted a torchlight parade complete Recruiting Poster Klan members conduct a cross burning in 1921.
On one occasion, a large group of mystery men in white met at the Woodlawn Cemetery to serve as an honor guard for a fallen Klansman. My father once told me that as a little boy, he witnessed a cross-burning in front of a Catholic woman’s house at East Sioux Falls, six miles east of Sioux Falls. Most likely many other South Dakotans have heard stories about Klan activities.
In the spring of 1924, the Klan held a ceremonial rally at a farm southeast of Sioux Falls, about one-half mile from the Cherry Rock bridge. Other meetings were conducted at a site four miles west of the city on 12th Street, and four miles north of town near the county farm. But apparently it was thought that bigger theatrics were in order. In its greatest show of force, on September 28, 1924, the defiant Klan conducted a 500 man march through the main streets of Sioux Falls. Marching two abreast and some on horseback, the robed and hooded band of bigots, marched down Main Avenue to 12th Street, and then east to Phillips Avenue, north to 8th Street and west to Minnesota Avenue. At the conclusion of their march, they burned a large, eight-foot cross at the corner of 14th and Phillips, probably at Lyon Park.
Chicago Klan meeting in the 1920’s with racial and ethnic slurs, Americans are reminded that we need to be vigilant and firm in our condemnation of those who—due to some strange, vacant fascination with the past—would take the country back to the ugly age of intolerance and hate.
In Sioux Falls, the Klan members frequently gathered together in their clean white sheets and hoods, walking the streets to spread their message of hate and intolerance. As Sioux Falls was overwhelming white, there was less emphasis on race issues. As such the Klan mainly targeted people whose religion they detested. This meant the fiery crosses were burned on the lawns of Catholic homes.
In so doing, the Klan leaders defied an order by the Mayor, T. B. McKinnon, and the chief of police, that the march would be officially approved only if the marchers were unmasked. Clearly, the authorities were daring the Klan to reveal the identity of its members. The secretive marchers, of course, remained masked and hooded. And when they concluded their demonstration, they retired to their “Kampground” and initiated newNotmembers.longafter their downtown Sioux Falls demonstration, it was reported in the ArgusLeader on October 3, that there was a crossburning on the lawn of a house at 1515 South Grange Avenue. It was also reported that masked and robed men in four automobiles stopped at the home and set a large cross ablaze, while firing gunshots. The Klan strenuously denied having any involvement in the violence, claiming that all their robes were under lock and key at the time of the incident.
On May 12, 1927, the Argus-Leader published an article about the purchase of ten acres of land about a half a mile east of the School for the Deaf, by Klan No. 16, Realm of South Dakota. The price of the land was listed as $3000.00 and it was said that the area was “well suited for outside summer meetings.” It was announced that the land purchase was sufficiently large enough to accommodate the expected growth of the Klan, and that summer meetings with speakers would be held on the grounds with everyone welcome.
The Klan was always a frightening presence, and while they were formidable, the flagwaving gang was unable to win over the entire city and state. The sight of burning crosses resulted in the formation of opposition groups. For example, the city refused to allow the Klan to hold a rally in the Coliseum, and a group of businessmen formed a committee to oppose the bigots whose embarrassing antics were bad for commerce.
Just a Little Bite
(Ladies, if your husband says he went to a tapas bar, listen carefully, because there is a world of difference between “tapas” and “topless”. If it’s the latter, show him to the nearest jewelry store.) Tapas bars are wonderful emporiums where customers are encouraged to order many assorted dishes to share and essentially, make a meal out of apps. My kind of place. Here in South Dakota, we are blessed with our own remarkable app—Chislic! Chislic, whether it be fried beef, grilled lamb or venison, is a wonderful regional specialty. Just about every good diner or dive bar has its own version, and most are well seasoned and full of flavor. But here’s the thing about chislic, I’ve only seen it in South Dakota (and a few bars just beyond our borders), so savor it here at home. This time of year, as family and friends gather around the flat screen for football games and baseball playoffs, I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite apps. These tasty morsels will offer a nice change from the old chips and dips.
BY JIM MATHIS
46 nest | MAN IN THE KITCHEN
On a recent trip to visit family, four of us were going out to dinner. The restaurant, while they offered several entrees, had a great selection of shareable small plates—AKA appetizers! We decided as a group to indulge in a wide selection of apps; Brussel’s sprouts, meatballs, shrimp and ravioli. My favorite was a plate of Korean barbecue cauliflower that I’m trying to recreate. Stay tuned. I dig appetizers. From the simple fried cheese balls at the bar to the hoity-toity amuse-bouche at the finest restaurants, I always look forward to that little meal before the meal. You can call them hors d’œuvres, small plates, zakuski, antipasto, charcuterie, or tapas, just don’t skip the first course. Being an appetizer aficionado, I have favorite stops for small bites in just about every city I visit, savory seared ahi tuna, sweet scallop sliders and spicy merguez sausages. At each place, I scan the menus for new ideas and inspirations. And then it’s back to the kitchen to see what I can do. And the great thing about apps is they are often just a few ingredients. Some of my favorites were created by just combining a couple of my favorite things… more on that later. These days, the food landscape in many larger cities is sprinkled with tapas restaurants.
12 Gulf Shrimp, 15-20 size, peeled and deveined Half pound andouille sausage, sliced about 3/8” thick 4 cloves Fresh garlic, crushed Extra virgin olive oil
12 medjool dates
etc. for her | September 2022 47
This one was inspired by something I tried at a cool little tapas place. A few tweaks of my own and I think it’s pretty darn good. Salty and sweet. Chewy and crunchy. And it’s bacon. What’s wrong with that!
Kosher Salt Fresh cracked pepper
12 slices of pancetta (Italian-style bacon)
3 ounces of goat cheese
Cheese Stuffed Dates
Stick a shrimp and a chunk of the sausage on a bamboo skewer— sausage first, then the shrimp wrapped around sausage. Sprinkle with garlic then splash a little of the oil on each, then salt and pepper. Let them rest in the refrigerator for an hour to 24 hours. Grill over medium-high heat, turning once. About 3 to 5 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque. Serve with a little remoulade sauce or some spicy mustard.
Cajun Toothpicks
This was a simple idea, combine a few of my favorite things—spicy sausage and sweet grilled shrimp. A few minutes on the grill and you’ve got a crowd pleaser! It’s perfect for a dinner party or gameday spread.
And those are just the tip of buffet, but I’ll save the anchovies and limburger for the advanced class. But keep in mind, no matter what you’re having for dinner, don’t skip the appetizer. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the slices of pancetta on a baking sheet and partially cook. You want to render some of the fat, but not let it crisp. Pit the dates and stuff with goat cheese, then wrap each one with a slice of pancetta. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Bake for seven to ten minutes until the pancetta is crispy.
When Jim’s not in the kitchen or ordering appetizers, he runs ADwërks, an advertising agency in Sioux Falls where he cooks up marketing communication ideas. Ladies, if your husband says he went to a tapas bar, listen carefully, because there is a world of difference between “tapas” and “topless”. If it’s the latter, show him to the nearest jewelry store.

Lots of major transitions at my house: my oldest, Dante, is a senior in college and just passed his Level I Sommelier Exam (what?!) and my youngest, Jaxon, is a going to be a freshman in college. My middle son, Berent, is a college sophomore and continues to redefine what it means to be the middle child. Not enough pages in this magazine to begin telling stories about him.

Granted, there is a limit. I believe every working adult with children has enough time to volunteer for one thing and do it well. For me, the entity I volunteer my limited extra time to is my neighborhood, the Cathedral Historic District.
52 nest | KNICK KNACKS OF LIFE
LESSONS LEARNED FROM LifelongVolunteers BY LURA ROTI
But it really sunk in after visiting with Dale. I asked him why he got involved in his community and he shared a story about skipping his all-school reunion planning meeting as a young 20-something, only to be elected as president during said meeting. The humorous story made me reflect.
There are a few reasons I love interviewing folks who are motivated to give of their time to make their community and our state a better place. For starters, they motivate me. These folks don’t volunteer because they want to be recognized. They donate their precious time because it is the right thing to do.
Together neighbors have created a small community within South Dakota’s largest city. It’s truly a special place. If it matters, show up. There is quite a bit of wisdom to be gained from visiting with seasoned volunteers. During a recent conversation with a volunteer from Woonsocket, I was reminded of the value in showing up. For years I’ve heard the adage, “the world is run by those who show up.”
If I don’t show up to a meeting, and decisions are made during that meeting I don’t agree with, then it’s on me. I don’t know everything. Volunteering in our neighborhood is rewarding because I don’t do anything by myself. All decisions made on behalf of our neighborhood or activities planned for our neighborhood are made by a group of neighbors or voted on by a group of neighbors. And the work is done by a group of neighbors.
During a recent interview with former South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture, Walt Bones, he brought up the fact that he enjoys working with others to achieve a common goal because, and I will quote him here, “I don’t know everything. Our diversity of thoughts and talents are our greatest strength.”
Time is a precious commodity. Give with intention. After I interview someone who volunteers to help build community, while running a business and raising a family — it’s tough for me to make excuses about not having enough time because of my work or family obligations.
Each summer I have the privilege of interviewing South Dakotans who give back to their communities, and then write profile articles about them for various recognition programs.
I love spending time with other neighborhood volunteers discussing activities that will build community, increase safety and enhance pride of place. And because of involvement in our neighborhood, I know most of my neighbors. Together we clean up boulevards, have potlucks, help with plant watering or dog sitting and share tips for preserving our old historic homes.
The feeling of working together with neighbors and friends to save a piece of Sioux Falls’ history is one many of us will not forget.
His comment resonated with me. A few years ago, several Cathedral neighbors worked to save one of our neighborhood’s oldest homes. A developer wanted to tear it down. More than 60 neighbors made time during the work week, on a school night, to attend a meeting and urge decision makers to save this historic landmark.

• Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States. In 2020, 1.2 million attempted suicide and nearly 46,000 died by suicide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“People may already have had the thought and you asking the question, research tells us, often provides relief,” said Amber Reints, PMHNP, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner of Avera Behavioral Health. “Asking the question gives the person an open door to respond honestly.”
How
The risk of suicide is too serious to ignore. Consider these statistics:
It’s a myth that asking this question will somehow plant a seed in someone’s mind. In fact, it shows that someone saw and someone cares.
54 nest | HEALTH & WELL-BEING
• In 2021, South Dakota Department of Health reported 198 suicide deaths — the highest number since tracking began. The devastation left in the wake of suicide leaves no question that prevention is critical. Warning Signs of Suicide
It’s important that we all are informed about the warning signs of suicide. Knowledge allows us to recognize when someone is at risk and then support them in getting help. to Ask the Question:
A critically important starting point is to simply ask the question:
When someone shows warning signs of suicide, those around them are often at a loss: What should I do? What should I say?
Are You Thinking About Suicide?
“Are you thinking about suicide?”
BY ALYSSA WALTMAN, AVERA HEALTH
• Be compassionate.
•
• Remove means of self-harm. “Suicidal thoughts are fluid,” said Reints. “Even a person who received help and denied having thoughts of suicide could begin to have suicidal thoughts at a later time. They can remain at risk of an impulsive attempt.”
“You can make a difference.”
etc. for her | September 2022 55
•
If the person answers “Yes,” be sure to help them take the following steps:
What Not to Do
Praise the person for their courage. “It’s courageous to admit you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts,” said Reints. Praise the individual for the courageous choice they made to be honest with their thoughts.
• Emergency Department – If you don’t have a specialized urgent care, go to your local emergency department for immediate help.
Talks about feeling empty or having no reason to live
•
• Reaffirm that their concerns and pain are valid — and they are worthy of help and recovery.
Warning signs of suicide include, but aren’t limited to:
Because of the high impulsivity of suicide, it’s important to modify our environment to increase safety. It’s recommended to immediately remove firearms, medication and other means of self-harm from the living space of someone struggling with their mental health.
• Allow the individual to express themselves in full.
• Increase in drug and alcohol use
“It’s better to ask, than to have wished you would’ve asked,” said Reints.
“Every life is valuable and everyone can make a difference,” said Reints. “You can make a difference.”
“Every life is valuable and everyone can make a difference,” said Reints.
How to Ask If Someone Is Considering Suicide
• Be courageous and ask the question: “Are you thinking about suicide?”
• Don’t try to fix them. “You wouldn’t fix someone having severe chest pain all by yourself,” said Reints. “Leave the evaluation and treatment to the professionals. It’s your role to connect the individual to an expert.”
• Behavioral Health Urgent Care – If you live in Sioux Falls, go to the Behavioral Health Urgent Care during a mental health crisis.
• Expressions of hopelessness or feeling trapped
• 800-691-4336 – Call this Avera Behavioral Health Urgent Care number to find behavioral health services to fit your needs, whether that’s outpatient or inpatient care.
• Create a plan for help — together. The individual should get help as soon as possible. Remain with the person until they can be evaluated.
• Don’t minimize their pain or lecture them about things they should be grateful for. This can be very invalidating and lead to isolation as it may reinforce the distorted belief that “no one understands.”
Allow these tips to guide you through the process:
Approaching a person you’re concerned about can be difficult, and should be handled sensitively.
• Don’t NOT follow up. A person who’s receiving help will appreciate your support. Along the journey, continue to check in and share your support. These resources are open 24/7 for immediate access:
• 988 – Call or text the Suicide and Crisis Hotline for immediate help for you or someone you love.
• Actively listen.
Loss of interest in things they used to enjoy
• Going through a current crisis or significant life change, such as divorce, job loss, legal issues or financial problems
• Behavioral Health Navigation – If not in crisis but seeking information on behavioral health services, reach out to Avera Behavioral Health Navigation at 605-322-5142.

This activity can be used for a variety of lessons, including sight word practice, storytelling, numbers, shapes, and just about anything. Put the puzzle together if it doesn’t already come that way, so all the pieces are in place. Take each piece of the puzzle and trace around them one by one onto the backboard that the puzzle came with, or if it didn’t come with a backboard, make one out of a piece of cardboard or cardstock paper. Match the puzzle to its outline, then write one thing on the piece, and the matching part or answer on the backboard where the traced outline of that piece is found. Some ideas for practice activities are:
Numbers and Dots
Sight Word Scramble
Write words on the puzzle piece with a line in the spot where the child will have to fill in a missing letter to finish spelling the word. On the backboard where the puzzle piece is outlined, write the missing letter that belongs in the word.
The letters in each word are mixed up on the puzzle piece, and the child must unscramble the letters to figure out the word it matches on the backboard, and which outline the puzzle piece fits into. Make several of these for your home and encourage your kids to work together and solve them. There are so many possibilities to produce using matching games and puzzles!

A Walk Through the Rain Forest by Martin ConservationJenkinsbiologist Martin Jenkins and acclaimed fine artist Vicky White expertly guide readers into the complex ecosystem of Malaysia’s Taman Negara. Conversational prose and photorealistic black-andwhite artwork—punctuated by four jaw-dropping full-color spreads—evoke the whir of cicadas and the low call of a pheasant. Pages fill with ants and elephants, leopards and hornbills, gibbons and bats, as animals spread and fertilize seeds to help maintain a magnificent old-growth forest. Every living thing in the rain forest is interconnected, and a dazzling fullcolor index guide at the end of the book challenges readers to circle back and marvel at animals they may have missed in the dense foliage. Meticulously researched and visually arresting, this creative tour de force is a young conservationist’s dream: the ecotour of a Ageslifetime.6yrs-9 candlewickpress.comyrs

A Very Mercy Christmas by Kate DiCamillo Stella Endicott felt joyful. She felt like something miraculous might happen. She wanted to sing. When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. Will Stella need to sing by herself—with enthusiastic contributions from the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up on the way? Or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadn’t expected? With tender affection for Mercy Watson and all her Deckawoo Drive friends, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen offer a picture-book homage to the season that is perfectly suited for family sharing—perhaps with some cups of hot cocoa and a stack of well-buttered toast.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas Or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement C. Moore Once upon a time, children imagined St. Nicholas as a stern, skinny bishop who was as likely to dole out discipline as Christmas presents. But thanks to the poem “Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas”—written by Clement C. Moore in 1822 and published the next year in the Troy Sentinel—a plumper, merrier St. Nick was born, transformed into the sleigh-riding, chimney-diving jolly old elf we now call Santa Claus. With gorgeous monochrome illustrations by Matt Tavares that are meticulously true to pre-Victorian times, ’Twas the Night Before Christmas Or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas honors the poem’s original language in a definitive keepsake volume.

In this dramatic account, award-winning creators Christina Soontornvat and Dow Phumiruk chronicle Tammy’s journey.
