LifeLight Festival RESET with LifeLight 2014

O

nce your heart has been set free and witnessed relevance, bold inspiration and creativity, attending the annual LifeLight Festival becomes an inoculation of soul-boosting adrenaline. If you have not experienced the life-transforming freedom, LifeLight Communications Inc. extends an invitation to step into the light.

Since LifeLight Communications’ inception in 1998, the nonprofit has upheld its mission of “Taking the church outside the walls, bringing light into the darkness with the life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” LifeLight has expanded from the first festival on a church lawn to international festivals, missions and outreach.

The “ONE ministry with ONE mission” has left a powerful impression around the globe via music.

Labor Day weekend marks the date of the annual LifeLight Festival in Worthing, South Dakota. Beyond the conversion of farmland to rocking festival grounds, this year’s festival is a major “RESET.” “The public has been asking us for a long time why we don’t use tickets to allow people to help fund the festival,” says Carol Hayzlett, LifeLight Communications marketing director. “We’ve always struggled with that because our founding principle is that the festival is free. We finally found an avenue through our supplier Eventbrite.

Tickets can be offered at no cost but will also allow people to donate.”

In addition to the ticket requirement, LifeLight RESET will feature bigger bands, prizes, the VIP FUN Zone and new scheduling.

Carol enthusiastically explains the reasoning behind changes.

“There are people out there who like one kind of music and some who like all kinds of music. If you’re the type who likes all kinds of music, it’s a struggle to get from stage to stage to hear your different favorites. We streamlined our lineup and our staging times. It’s our way of encouraging people to get around and try new things and to make it easier for those who like more things.”

22

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

LifeLight RESET includes: Five circus performances, local entertainment, games and activities for children on The Kaleidoscope Stage; the 360 Arts/Acoustic Stage will present more interactive arts; and FLOW Action Sports will fire up attendees with extreme sports. The 2014 lineup features: Skillet, Michael W. Smith, for KING & COUNTRY, RED, Colton Dixon, The Afters, Sanctus Real, Big Daddy Weave, Hawk Nelson, Capital Kings, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Remedy Drive, We As Human, and speakers Nick Hall, Ken Ham, Scott Dawson and more.

A small staff of 15 orchestrates the LifeLight events. Carol shares the vital importance of volunteers for successful outreach. “Our goal for volunteers is always 1,000,” Carol says. “We get between 500 and 800 volunteers. Checks are done for volunteers in the children’s area and anyone involved in the prayer side of the ministry has to go through a training process.”

And what are the attendance expectations for the festival? “Numbers don’t matter. Whether 300,000 people show up or one person shows up—it’s the one,” Carol says.

“We do it all for the one. If one person comes to know Jesus Christ, it’s worth it and our donors feel the sfw same way.”

Sioux Falls Germanfest A Celebration of Heritage and Culture the Bavarian Way

S

ince 1994, Sioux Falls has hosted a culturally rich, free Germanfest event downtown, facilitated by the Sister Cities Association of Sioux Falls. Exceptionally popular and based on the Bavarian Oktoberfest, the event has grown exponentially over the years. According to organizer Heidi Beck, “It started just for fun when the Sioux Falls Brewery was around and it has escalated from there into what it is today. We have about 10,000 to 15,000 people coming a year.” In fact, the festival has grown so much it has been moved from downtown to Falls Park. “We moved it to Falls Park since it’s getting so large and it gives us more space for more people.”

Germanfest allows visitors to experience German customs, food and fun throughout the day-long event. Heidi notes, “It’s very family oriented and everybody is welcome.

We’ve created a Kinder-area, or children’s area, with face-painting, inflatables and train rides. Jim Oliver even hosts a puppet show and he does a fantastic job.” She laughs, “You’ll get to listen to a lot of polka music, eat bratwurst and drink beer with a lot of Germans who speak the language fluently.

And don’t miss out on our Wiener Dog Races because they are our most-popular event!”

Sioux Falls has two sister cities, Potsdam, Germany, as well as Newry & Mourne, Northern Ireland. The goal of the relationships is to strengthen a globalized environment, diplomacy and international affairs through education.

Heidi shares, “Sister Cities is a viable means of creating positive social change and urges countries around the world to share and understand their culture through such relationships. We are raising funds in order to create scholarships for students and support other cultural relationships, not just through Germany or Ireland.”

Sister Cities uses proceeds from Germanfest to help fund its programs. All proceeds from the Wiener Dog Races benefit the local dog rescue Dakota sfw Dachshund Rescue.

When Kari & Chris Wulf stopped at Power Brokers Inc. they weren’t completely sure what they were looking for.

Kari wanted something the family could do together and they live in an area that a UTV would be handy for tasks around the place. Our sales staff showed them some options and helped them find a Polaris Ranger. Chris put a plow on it last winter and they couldn’t be happier.

“We have a lot of fantastic sponsors that volunteer their services or donate money to help put Germanfest together... Our sponsors support our mission in bridging cultural understanding between foreign countries and the City of Sioux Falls.” ~ Heidi Beck, Sister Cities Association of Sioux Falls

Race Flowering into Family Event

Expanded Activities Planned for September Race for the Cure

M

embers of the Susan G. Komen South Dakota affiliate are busy sowing the seeds for this year’s Race for the Cure on Sept. 28—and they hope they sprout into hundreds of flowers in Suzy’s Garden.

Race Chair Tiffany Reilly says the 5K Run/ Walk or 1 Mile Fun Walk at Falls Park will include several new elements, including the tulip garden. People can purchase a large tulip cutout, decorate it, and place it in the garden to honor a survivor or in memory of a loved one.

“All of the flowers will be displayed the morning of the race and people can take them home after the race,” Tiffany says. “It’s a beautiful way to not only honor those courageous women whose very presence is an inspiration, but to take time to remember those whose journey has ended and realize why we continue our fight against breast cancer.”

In addition, the expo will include an expanded Kids for the Cure entertainment area with inflatables, activities and games. Another new area, koMEN for the Cure, which is geared toward male attendees, will offer friendly competitions and other activities such as a beanbag toss, Tiffany says.

“We want to make it a family event. It is not only the person diagnosed with breast cancer who is affected,” she says. “We want to make it a full morning event with something every member of the family can enjoy.”

The group hopes the expanded activities will help it reach this year’s $100,000 fundraising goal.

Tiffany says 75 percent of race proceeds directly benefit South Dakota by providing free screenings, mammograms, diagnostic services and travel assistance to treatment programs for underserved women and men. Programs also offer education on the importance of early detection, as well as survivorship support groups. The 26

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

remaining 25 percent goes toward breast cancer research.

“A lot of those research dollars also end up back in South Dakota because we have such amazing health-care systems in our state,” Tiffany says. South Dakota has received more than $1 million in research grants from Susan G. Komen since the affiliate’s inception in 2005.

“This organization is doing great things,” she says, adding that she is honored to serve as race chair for the 7th annual event, which fulfills multiple goals for the group: • A survivor celebration to honor those who have fought or are fighting the disease, as well as their family members and caregivers. “We don’t want the event to exclude anyone,” she says.

• An awareness event to educate people—men and women—to have regular testing. “Men get breast cancer too,” Tiffany shares.

• A fundraising tool to provide money for continued research and community programs in South Dakota. “Let’s face it, research costs dollars and even though Komen has invested over $800 million in research in the last 30 years, our fight isn’t finished,” she says.

For information on additional race-day details, such as start times, the survivor ceremony, yoga and zumba, course map, and parking, visit the group’s website, komensfw southdakota.org/race.

Filling the Void for Legal Services Lawyer Jake Fischer is First to Benefit from Project Rural Practice

By Thea Miller Ryan • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

S

outh Dakota is facing the possibility of whole sections of the state not having access to attorneys. Recent law school graduates gravitate toward larger cities— in fact, 35 percent of South Dakota’s attorneys work in Sioux Falls and 65 percent are in just four cities.

South Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson put a magnifying glass to the problem in 2011, and he and South Dakota Bar Association President Patrick Goetzinger created Project Rural Practice.

The program is designed to do three things: educate law school graduates on opportunities available in rural areas, help communities develop incentives to attract attorneys and create a website to match lawyers with a community.

The state’s first participant in PRP is Jake Fischer, who now lives near Corsica and works at Swier Law Firm. “I think this program provides a great opportunity for young lawyers to garner experience at an early part of their career. There’s so much opportunity in rural South Dakota,” he says.

While the bigger cities were enticing to Fischer, he found the transition from Minneapolis, where he attended law school, to rural South Dakota was “not too much of a challenge. I’ve got a garden, some chickens, a few cows. Life is good! Of course, my wife and I miss the amenities of a big city sometimes: restaurants, art/cultural opportunities, etcetera, but we also like the peacefulness and space we’re afforded here.”

28

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

“I have a suspicion they’re really going to fall in love with the benefits of a rural lifestyle. There’s so much personal freedom and such great opportunity for becoming a valuable piece of your community,” ~ Jake Fischer, Swier Law Firm

When Goetzinger proposed the project, he told members of the American Bar Association: “The impact of losing main street lawyers on the economic viability of our rural communities and the delivery of justice in these areas is potentially devastating. The concentration of lawyers in urban areas leaving rural America unserved is epidemic,” he said. “Chief Justice Gilbertson warned, ‘We face the very real possibility of whole sections of this state being without access to legal services. Large populated areas are becoming islands of justice in a rural sea of justice denied.’”

The Fischer Family

Fischer fully supports the program that brought him to Corisca and said others should follow his lead. “I have a suspicion they’re really going to fall in love with the benefits of a rural lifestyle. There’s so much personal freedom and such great opportunity for becoming a valuable piece of your community,” he says. “Plus, with advances in Internet technology, we now have unlimited access to a lot of things that were previously only available in bigger cities: We can shop, find music, find movies, access any necessary legal resources—all through the power of the Internet.”

H

andmade art has become increasingly popular with the advent of Pinterest and Etsy as well as a growing aversion to “cookie cutter” designs. However, it’s not a new concept at Color Me Mine in Sioux Falls. For owner Melinda Wood, it has been a joy to go to work for the past eight years since opening the store: “Color Me Mine is a fun, fresh idea that appeals to everyone. We are a place where you can get together with family and friends and create not only masterpieces but also lasting, lifelong memories, and it’s been a pleasure to be a part of that.”

Located on 41st Street in front of the Empire Mall, Color Me Mine is filled to the brim with unfinished pottery ranging from piggy banks to elegant platters. The process of creating your unique artwork is simple. You choose your pottery, paint it, leave it to be fired in an

How to Tell if It’s Working-

By Brianna Venekamp

Dry shampoos are supposed to make your life easier. Instead of the normal wash-dry-style routine, using a dry shampoo allows you to skip washing and drying, while still eliminating the buildup of natural oils.

At least, that’s what a good dry shampoo is supposed to do. However, not all brands are created equal, which makes knowing what to expect from a dry shampoo product essential to its success.

FashionTrends Trying Out What’s New-

MixingPatterns

By Brianna Venekamp

Mixing prints is very popular. When you peruse stores and fashion magazines, you’re bombarded with photos of models wearing all kinds of overwhelming oddities. Here are a few tips to help you feel more confident trying out this new trend.

Find Commonality The key when mixing your own patterns is to find something about the outfit to connect. It could be a color, a shape or a silhouette. Pull something out of the top to connect with the bottom and vice versa.

Start Small The more prints and patterns you try to combine in one outfit, the more skill it takes. Start simple. Mix a patterned shirt with a patterned shoe, or mix a neutral polka-dot top with striped shoes, but stay within the same color family.

Don’t Forget Accessories If the whole mixing patterns thing seems too overwhelming, try your accessories. For example, mix a floral dress with a leopard-print belt.

Available at: L Couture Boutique

Let the Designer Do the Hard Work If you aren’t confident in combining a look on your own, try a dress with a mixed-up pattern. That way everything is already done for you.

It’s not for the faint of heart, but with a little forethought you can make this trend work for you! sfw

Fuel Economy with Fun

2015 Audi TT

The fuel economy estimate for the 2015 Audi TT is 26 mpg. While that is a number any driver can appreciate, the vehicle’s attractiveness multiplies when considering its features and alluring appearance. Available in a coupe or convertible, the all-wheel drive Audi TT has a unique, first-class look. LED running lights, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite radio add to the enjoyment of the lush interior, while the convertible model sports a fully powered soft top that stows in a remarkable 15 seconds.

This refined sedan allows the driver to select sport, normal or comfort operating modes.

2014 Volkswagen Passat

The 2014 Volkswagen Passat features a 25 mpg fuel economy, and its straightforward design earns it a spot on a short list of highly appealing family sedans.

The Passat is available in four engine options and four trim levels, yet keeps keyless entry, six-way manual driver seat with lumbar adjustment, and full power accessories standard on all models. Perhaps the most pleasing feature of the Passat is its space, as the vehicle offers passengers and cargo ample room to ride in comfort.

A more powerful engine helps the 2014 BMW 328ix-drive reach a fuel economy of 26 mpg. Available in a sedan, wagon or hatchback, the 328ix-drive has an opulent interior that is the envy of others in its class. Three optional equipment lines of luxury, sport and m-sport provide opportunities for customization. Classic gauge design paired with Bluetooth, iDrive electronics interface, iPod/USB audio interface and a premium sound system with a CD player keep the vehicle true to its BMW legacy of luxury. sfw

College Bound? n 5 Gotta-Know Tips You Need To Know

That Could save You Big-Bucks Before Heading To College

u $ v

G

U

COLLEGE TIP #1

Dual Credit

New South Dakota legislation has made earning college credits an affordable reality for high school juniors and seniors.

Dual Credit allows students to take college classes that will satisfy their high school requirements at the same time as earning college credit. Students will need to fill out an application that their high school counselor will forward to the state college or technical institute of their choice. Once they have been approved to take classes, they can register. The cost to take classes is affordable at just $40/ credit hour. This doesn’t include parking fees or books and materials necessary for classes. Online and on-campus classes are offered. Interested students should contact their high school counselor to discuss their options.

U q

COLLEGE TIP #3

Choose Your Meal Plan Wisely

When living on campus, there frequently are multiple meal-plan options to consider. Many times you are allotted a certain number of meals, but they may be limited to select locations. Other times you might have a debit account where you can choose to eat at multiple locations, but you are charged per item. There also might be a combination plan. First, know your eating habits and take that into consideration when choosing your plan. If flexibility is key, you might want to go with the more flexible plan even if it costs a bit more. Second, ask whether the college offers a refund for unused meals or allows you to roll them to the next semester before you make a decision.

( U COLLEGE TIP #2

Financial Aid

U

Financial aid is used by the majority of college students today to help pay for college. Whether or not you intend on using financial aid, you should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov. Many colleges require you to fill out the FAFSA to be considered for other forms of aid and scholarships or to be considered for federal work-study positions.

the application takes about 30 minutes to complete online. The FAFSA form must be completed annually.

Even if you think you know what a school is all about, take the time to visit the campus.

This gives you the opportunity to check out the culture of the school. If you know what you intend to major in, most colleges will give you a custom tour. In addition, you can tour dorm rooms or apartments, dining halls and workout facilities, if they offer them. An extra bonus is that most schools give prospective students a free gift just for stopping by!

UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX FALLS Finish your degree. Change your career.

Increase your job opportunities.

Is it time to finish your bachelor’s degree? Increase your business skills? Or, are you ready to switch careers altogether and become a teacher or maybe a nurse?

If it’s time for a change, learn more about the University of Sioux Falls’ adult and graduate programs.

USF fulfills the needs of adult learners, a commitment of ours started in 1987 with the Degree Completion Program. Today, we offer accelerated bachelor’s degrees in Accounting, Entrepreneurial Studies, Management, Nursing, Project Management and Social Work.

Since 1993, the Vucurevich School of Business has been recognized as Sioux Falls’ best option for an MBA. Our program emphasizes practical application, and concentrations include Business Innovation and Marketing, General Management, Healthcare Management and Project Management.

The Fredrikson School of Education at USF has been educators’ go-to destination for advanced degrees and continuing education since 1980. Master’s degrees include Teaching (initial certification for non-educators wanting a career change), Adult and Higher Education, Reading Specialist Authorization, Educational Leadership and Educational Technology. Our Education Specialist program serves individuals who desire principal and superintendent licensure/certification.

Make-A-Wish® South Dakota Celebrates 30 Years of Granting Wishes

T

hroughout 2014 Make-A-Wish South Dakota is celebrating its 30th anniversary serving kids with lifethreatening medical conditions throughout the state.

What began in 1984 as a grassroots effort to grant wishes to six kids that year has grown to nearly 70 wishes a year at an average cost of $7,000. To date, the chapter has granted nearly 1,100 wishes.

To mark this milestone the chapter has held celebration events in Rapid City, Watertown and Aberdeen. A celebration will be held at the main office in Sioux Falls in September. Wish kids and their families, volunteers and key Carter, 7, of Box Elder wished donors have come together for his very own puppy, which to celebrate Make-A-Wish and was presented to him in June. what it means to them. July 21 Make-A-Wish held its 14th Annual Golf Tournament and 30th Anniversary Celebration at Minnehaha Country Club and The District in Sioux Falls. The event included a concert by country duo Love and Theft. The goal of the event was to raise significant support to continue to grant every eligible child’s wish in South Dakota.

“Our mission is to give the kids and their families hope, strength and joy through their wish experience,” Paul Krueger, president and CEO said. “It is our belief that a wish is a necessary part of helping the child to beat or fight their illness.”

Upcoming wishes include trips to meet the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers, a Royal Caribbean Cruise, a shopping spree and several trips to Walt Disney World.

With a full-time staff of five and one part-time person, MakeA-Wish South Dakota relies on more than 300 volunteers across the state to help make sure each child receives a wish and that the chapter has the resources it needs to meet the increasing cost of wishes. The main office is in Sioux Falls near Sanford Hospital and a satellite office is located downtown Rapid City.

Custom Home Harbors Twists of Creativity

By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Cipher Imaging Architectural Photography

I

t’s a grand vision when first setting eyes on this elegant custom-built home, but it might be a grand illusion. Even though the exterior displays traditional beauty with a perfect blend of stone and stucco, one clue betrays the home’s secret: a custom arched front door reflecting a medieval style. The door’s plank and nailhead pattern in a deep black tone is a striking contrast to the rest of the exterior. Only eagleeyed newcomers would catch the design detail and thus be prepared for the unexpected; as for everyone else, walking in is a jaw-dropping surprise.

lmost immediately, refurbished sliding wood doors, a custom wrought-iron decorative railing and long dangling contemporary glass lights set a tone like no other: modern simplicity, old wood and traditional elegance. This stunning storyand-a-half home with vaulted ceilings and natural stone accents also brings the outside feeling in with its immense windows. Located a few miles from the city, the house rests on more than two acres of rolling countryside, a perfect reason to forgo heavy window treatments. Although the home feels traditional and rustic, with hardwood floors and accents, the walls are slathered in crisp dove grey paint and the furniture remains simple and sleek. Dual leather pub chairs accompany a denim blue contemporary sofa in the sun-drenched family room. The understated ensemble surrounds a muted yellow area rug. But the main feature of the room—when not peering out at the backyard—is the two-story fireplace and mantle. Extensive stonework, by Francisco Barraza G. from Stone Source North, climbs its way up to the ceiling and is finished off with a gas fireplace insert from Fire Emporium, a flat-screen television and sparse accessories.

P

utting contemporary aside, the open-concept kitchen and formal dining space are filled with a flurry of mixed stone, wood and metal, all tied together for an eclectic style. Custom homebuilder Ralyn Kruetzfeldt, owner of Kruetzfeldt Construction Co., exercised his creative muscle when the homeowners, who both wanted a more rustic feel, were open to fresh ideas and also wanted to convey their individual styles. A tall order for Ralyn, but he masterfully demonstrates his design diversity throughout the home, starting with custom ceilings above the kitchen island and formal dining room table. Constructed from reclaimed wood, thick planks were given a rich stain and wing-tail ends before being attached to the ceiling in a checkerboard pattern. Rather than continuing with the worn feel, shiny metallic copper paint was added to accent the pattern, which then blends with the dangling metal birdcage-style pendant fixtures, lit by oldfashioned Edison-style bulbs.

Just below, a large center island is painted a soft robin’s egg blue and faux finished to coordinate with the wood floors. Custom painted by Phil Bell, owner of Earth Designs, the use of color is a perfect contrast to the speckled granite countertops, which feature tones of caramel, black and cream. Dark cherry cabinets from Bullseye Custom Cabinetry are finished off with stainless-steel hardware to complement the appliances from Mahlander’s Inc. and traditional farmhouse sink from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery. But to add a ‘wow factor’ at eye level, a few elements were incorporated into to the room. The most intriguing is a custom tile backsplash from Montgomery’s Furniture made of a specially treated wood for such applications. Additionally, a cabinet door secretly opens to a walk-in pantry and the stainless-steel range with pot filler is given flair by adding a hint of teal tones throughout the mosaic backsplash. The entire look is finished off with a custom hammered-copper range hood by Viking Sheet Metal.

T

he formal dining area is encased by windows and sliding patio doors for easy access to the fulllength deck. A large reclaimed wood table is the perfect anchor for the neutral-toned high-back chairs. The ceiling is a partner to the custom ceiling design above the kitchen island, only modified in size to fit the space and similarly finished off with metallic paint and contemporary pendant lights.

76

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

The opportunity to blend modern sleek with countryside chic not only pleased the homeowners but also gave Ralyn an enormous palette of potential. Throughout the home, portions of corrugated tin from outbuilding roofs can be found. In addition, a reclaimed wood slab was mounted on sliders to serve as an eye-catching door to the main-floor office. Utilizing elements from the past often adds interest and can be offset by modern-day finishes, and the office is a perfect example with its soft carpets, custom-built wood desk and vibrant teal paint, which blends with the wallpaper found on the accent wall. The ceiling is painted a crisp white and is given architectural detail with a coffered ceiling finished with metallic silver paint and illuminated by rope lighting.

To continue weaving color throughout the contemporary rustic home, an additional pop of teal is found on the walls of the main-floor bathroom. Meanwhile, neutral tiles installed by T-N-T Tile contrast with the dark cherry cabinets that are topped with granite from DMC Waterjet LLC and a glass mosaic backsplash.

windows fill the wall that overlooks the country, and easy access to the extended covered deck with Jacuzzi tub is provided from the master suite.

Large double doors from the master bedroom into the master bath ease flow and provide for a more spacious feel. The floors have elongated tiles that continue with a wood-like grain to enhance the theme. A Jacuzzi tub and fully tiled walkin shower are perfect for relaxing evenings or busy mornings. The entire back wall is covered by reclaimed wood but is sublimely offset by the dual sinks, cherry cabinets and granite countertops.

A convenient spare bedroom with private bath features a ceiling like no other. Starting with a square coffered ceiling, a fiberoptic surround adds sparkle and interest, while a painted pale blue center and crystal chandelier finish off what is to be considered nothing less than a work of art. Having commissioned a friend to paint a beachlike mural, the room has a breezy feel with buttery yellow and gray walls.

The private bathroom takes a turn with an ameba-shaped mirror that is framed by dual strands of rope. Sandy beach-colored tile tricks the toes while soft, glazed gray cabinets keep things muted and subtle. Two additional children’s bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, which also includes simulated wood tile flooring, dark glazed cabinets and a unique angled mirror with glass mosaic accents.

Make It Flow Tap into Color, Fabric and Accessories to Coordinate Home

By Jennifer Dumke

Y

ou coordinate your schedules and your clothes, so maybe it’s time to think about your surroundings. Lindsay Chicoine, interior designer for Montgomery’s Furniture, has spent three years working with customers to help beautify their homes. With a degree in interior design, she offers professional tips for existing homeowners and new construction buyers that focus on the importance of room flow through design.

“With today’s open floor plans, coordinating colors from one room to another is a must,” Lindsay says. “If you can stand at the front door and see the living room, dining room and kitchen all at the exact same time, you’ll want colors to flow nicely, but avoid all rooms looking the exact same.” And don’t think that only open-concept homes apply. Older homes with separated rooms are still prone to the same rules, Lindsay adds, but they potentially allow more flexibility with areas such as individual bedrooms.

86

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

To get started, Lindsay recommends beginning at the front door and working toward the perimeters. “Choose an accent color or inspiration piece, such as artwork or a swatch of fabric, that will essentially set the color palette for the rest of the home,” she says.

“With today’s open floor plans, coordinating colors from one room to another is a must.”

Lindsay Chicoine Interior Designer, Montgomery’s Furniture

On a recent project, Lindsay explains how various blues and greens were used.

In one room, navy blue was the primary accent with teal and lime green as secondary colors. To demonstrate how to coordinate, she says that the colors were swapped in the adjoining room and a pop of orange was added for an element of surprise. “I think it’s nice to have a home that flows, but it’s also fun to throw in a few surprises,” she says.

A home also should reflect the homeowners’ personal tastes, Lindsay says.

“Some people’s personalities require everything in their home to share a common denominator, such as a color palette or style. This is great when working with proper room flow.”

In addition, she recommends holding back on being bold when working with large-scale items, such as wall color, sofas and flooring. “As much as I love color, I think if you start with a nice neutral base, whether it be gray, cream, brown, tan or whatever, you can add pops of color from there. This way, you’ll have a home that can be redesigned easily when you’re ready for a change and it’s also great for those who have difficulty committing to a color.”

Lindsay adds that ultimately all of her design “rules” can go “out the window” if a homeowner steers her in a different direction. “Some of my clients insist each room be a new environment for their visitors,” she says. “I actually encourage my clients to break the rules because even though I’m a professional interior designer, I believe that not following them sfw … is just good for the soul.”

Start Running the Right Way Healthy Fitness Routine Requires Planning

By Amy Pugliese, Sanford Wellness Center Manager

Y

ou’ve been thinking about taking on a running routine.

You’ve got the gear: T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes. You’re ready, right? Maybe not.

Follow these tips and get the most out of your run:

• Avoid cotton. When this fabric gets wet with sweat, it can cause chafing. Choose fabrics such as spandex and polyester, which are better at wicking away sweat.

• The right shoes matter. Get fitted for shoes based on your foot type and running style.

• Splurge on socks. Like your running attire, pick socks that include synthetics or lightweight wool, which limit friction-causing moisture. This can help keep your feet more comfortable mile after mile.

•Eat and drink right. Fuel your body with the proper nutrition and hydrate it with plenty of water.

• Find a buddy. In the beginning, it can be easier to get out the door when you know someone is waiting to join you for a run.

• It’s ok to walk. There’s no shame in taking a break.

It’s important to build your fitness and endurance in a safe way.

• Listen to your body. It’s not uncommon to experience some soreness as a new runner. But don’t overdo it to the point of causing permanent damage.

• All runners have been in your shoes. Don’t feel intimidated by more experienced runners. Everyone was a new runner at some point.

To help you start on the right foot, the Sanford Wellness Center offers a training plan for new runners. This 5K training program is designed to improve your running endurance through a slow and steady progression.

The benefits of a detailed training program include a plan designed just for you and your capabilities. It can also help you reach your goals faster and maximize your run.

Call the Sanford Wellness Center at 605-328-1600 to learn how our program can help you hit the road the safe, healthy and effective way.

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

Warm Weather Running Tips: Don’t let summer’s heat keep you from a good run: • Run early or late. Avoid running between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s intensity is at its highest.

• Stick to shady roads if you must run during the middle of the day.

• Don’t try to beat the heat. Scale back workout intensity during brutal heat and humidity.

Hot and humid conditions are not the time to push your pace.

• Use water to cool yourself during runs.

Splash water on your head and your body to cool down quickly.

• Be familiar with signs of heat-related problems. If you feel faint, dizzy or disoriented, if you have stopped sweating, or your skin is cool and clammy, slow down or stop running. If symptoms continue, sit or lie down in the shade and seek help.

• One or two hours prior to your run, drink 8-16 ounces of water or a sports drink. And drink another 4-8 ounces 15-30 minutes before you run.

• During longer workouts, your fluid intake should include sports drinks such as Gatorade to replace lost salt and sfw other minerals.

It’s All in the Hips Dysfunction Can Radiate to Other Areas of Body

By Jody Gust • Photos by Susan DeWitte Photography

T

he body is a master of compensation. Pinpointing the true culprit of woe may require attention beyond those familiar quads and hamstrings. It can be a perplexing puzzle: Did you develop knee pain because your hips are weak or do your hips become weak because your knees hurt?

According to Paul Kreber, PT, MS and SCS with the Orthopedic Institute, the body is designed to be balanced in strength in all planes. Neglecting attention in two vital areas—hip function and core strengthening—can create hip dysfunction, especially in women.

“Those two things control everything else going down to the floor,” Kreber says. “Anatomically, women have a tendency for weakness in the lateral hip and especially in the gluteus medius and that can lead to other dysfunctional things down the chain. Core strength is a huge factor with hip strength as well.”

While the hip muscles are the largest muscles, Kreber says that does not mean they are the strongest. Since women are prone to weak hips, especially with age, addressing core strength and hip function could prevent injuries.

“There is a specific angle in which the ball has to fit in the socket,” says Kreber, explaining hip mechanics. “If it is rotated too much, it puts stress on the capsule and over time it will start to wear away, especially in the athletic population.”

92

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

How Important is Your Health?

Kreber adds that in any type of hip dysfunction—even more so in women—the impact is not always limited to the hip. For instance, women have a higher incidence of knee issues related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and tears because one of the causes is weakness of the hip.

“You can have a significant amount of strength loss in the hip and your hips don’t bother you,” he explains.

“What you’re feeling is likely in the knee. Whether someone comes in with a knee issue from a traumatic injury or the knees are bothersome on the stairs, the hip needs to be completely evaluated to make sure there isn’t something structural going on underneath. But often the pain in the knee is because of weakness in the hip.”

Kreber adds that whether hip dysfunction is from a long-standing injury or from musculoskeletal imbalance, “it’s our job to determine that, isolate it, and set up the appropriate course of rehabilitation.” Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bursitis and labral tears also can cause hip pain.

“There is more awareness now about hip dysfunction,” he says.

“Once a diagnosis has been determined, strengthening the hip is going to be an individualized process.

Some people can manage strengthening on their own and some people need more direction. Recognizing the problem and following up sooner rather than later can alter the window of recovery.”

Sinus Success New Device is Powerful Weapon for Sinus Sufferers

By Jennifer Dumke

S

pending a crisp fall day outside may be a welcomed treat for some, but for chronic sinus sufferers, the change of seasons brings about a host of sneezing and wheezing. Don’t watch the colors change from your window. The latest tool in the arsenal of weapons against chronic sinusitis offers quick relief and fast recovery. It’s called the Propel Sinus Implant and physicians are pleased with the outcomes.

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

The device is a dissolvable implant that gives localized, controlled and gradual delivery of steroids directly to the sinus tissue. The best part is that the device dissolves within the body. It can be used at the end of sinus surgery or in lieu of surgery, depending on the severity of the case. The goal in both instances is to return the sinus cavity to normal.

Paul A. Cink, MD and FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons), has been using the Propel Sinus Implant at Midwest Ear,

Nose and Throat for the past eight months and says not only does it deliver medication, it also serves as a “spring” to keep the sinus cavity open as it heals. “This helps us accomplish our goal of sinus surgery by allowing us to provide steroids up in the sinus cavity,” he adds. “We won’t need to prescribe as much oral medications and it also prevents revision surgery in the future.”

“We definitely prescribe more oral steroids during the spring and fall allergy seasons.

With the Propel Sinus Implant, patients can have fast and effective relief in a simple clinic setting and not take another steroid pill.” ~ Dr. Paul Cink, Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat

For some patients, the implant allows them to avoid surgery altogether. “So far, my patients with the implants have been doing very well, not only by reducing the need for further oral medications, but also by reducing the need for surgery,” Dr. Cink says.

“We’re looking into the possibility of placing these implants into the sinuses as a clinic procedure without the need for general anesthesia,” he adds.

Before, the options for this medical condition were somewhat limited. This device has the potential to not only treat chronic sinusitis, but could be the framework for other drugs that can be delivered locally. “The future of these drug-delivering implants is exciting since we may be able to provide other medications, such as antifungals and antibiotics, directly into the sinuses,” Dr. Cink adds. sfw It also allows different dosages of steroids to be delivered.

Preserving Your Vision Exams Crucial For Maintaining Eye Health Story & Photos By Margaret Pennock

U

nlike other routine physical examinations, individuals often perceive eye exams as unnecessary. In fact, unless an individual is experiencing vision issues, they don’t understand how critical regular exams are. According to optometrist Dr. Meghan Montreal of 20/20 Eye Care P.C., “I recommend yearly eye examinations for all ages. Regular checkups allow early detecting, diagnosis, and treatment of serious eye conditions; many of which have no signs or symptoms and are an important part of preventative health care.”

Frequently, health conditions that have nothing to do with the eye can actually affect eye health without warning. In addition, certain exceptionally serious eye conditions can progress quickly if left untreated. For Dr. Montreal, having state-of-the-art equipment

“I love taking time to talk with patients and really listen to their concerns and needs, along with getting to know more about them including occupation, hobbies and family.

My goal is make eye exams fun yet informative so patients understand the importance of them...” ~ Dr. Meghan Montreal, 20/20 Eye Care, P.C. at 20/20 Eye Candy

to help her diagnose these concerns is crucial. “At 20/20 Eye Care P.C., every routine examination includes retinal photos. This provides a picture of the back of the eyes, which is helpful for tracking subtle changes from year to year and closer monitoring of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, along with many other serious conditions.”

She continues, “This tool is also helpful for educating patients on their eye health and to show them exactly what the eye should and should not look like. Many patients are surprised at how their eyes can be affected by other medical conditions they are experiencing or medications they are using.”

Vision insurance should cover all or part of an annual eye examination. However, every insurance is different so it’s always best to call your insurance company prior to your exam. Most health insurance policies typically won’t cover routine eye examinations but should cover a medical visit for such symptoms as loss of vision, pain, redness, swollen eyelids, intense itching, mattering of lids, discharge, excessive tearing, increased light sensitivity, flashes and foreign body in the eye.

Dr. Montreal shares, “Most eye conditions can be treated and managed as long as it has been detected early enough. Optometrists are here to help you preserve your vision for a lifetime!” sfw

Women & Addiction There’s Hope for Recovery

By Kelly Thurman for Avera Health

I

f asked to imagine what the typical alcoholic or drug addict looks like, most people would think of a man. The fact is, however, out of every four adults who suffer from addiction, one is a woman.

“Society often views alcoholics or drug addicts as men. Women are associated more with social drinking, maybe having an occasional glass of wine.

Yet, once it gets to be a problem, women might feel looked down upon – like it’s something they should be able to control more than men,” says Melissa Roby, who is an MS, LPC, LAC, and an outpatient therapist with the Addiction Recovery Program at Avera McKennan Behavioral Health Services. “Women try to deal with it on their own first.”

Depression, stress, relationship problems and attempts to “self-medicate” are all factors that can lead to addiction.

While alcohol is the most commonly used substance, women, just as men, can become involved in abusing prescription or illicit drugs.

Getting help is a step that each person must take on his or her own without being persuaded by friends or family, Roby says. Women might come to that decision in the midst of a personal issue, such as legal troubles, a health problem, or the possibility of divorce or losing a job.

Behavioral health professionals conduct an assessment to help people determine the best plan of action, whether that’s individual counseling, group therapy, intensive outpatient treatment or inpatient care.

Once recovery is in motion, Roby says the most important thing is to maintain sobriety. In addition to therapy or treatment programs, she recommends support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Gamblers Anonymous. Relapse prevention programs also are recommended.

Melissa Roby

This also is a time to examine friendships and determine which ones are healthy, and also to examine oneself and learn how to find peace and serenity.

“Recovery is about you and learning about yourself, where you come from, what it’s going to take to stay sober and who is going to help you with that,” she adds.

“Recovery is about you and learning about yourself, where you come from, what it’s going to take to stay sober and who is going to help you...”

Melissa Roby, MS, LPC, LAC, Avera McKennan Behavioral Health Services.

The term “one day at a time” is often used in relation to addiction recovery.

Though it may seem cliché, it’s also effective.

“Saying, ‘I have to be sober the rest of my life’ is scary. That’s a lot of time. Being able to say, ‘I’m going to be sober for today, or I’m going to be sober this week,’ seems a little more attainable,” Roby says.

It’s an ongoing process that takes time.

“You’ve got to think of how long it took you to get to the point where you decided that you needed to quit drinking, or using, or gambling or whatever it may be,” Roby says. “It’s going to take just as long to work on your coping skills, determining what your triggers are, and finding a new group of friends or support group. That doesn’t happen overnight.”

Chronic Headache Game Changer Sioux Falls Neurologist,

Team Discover Headache Treatment

Story and Photos by Margaret Pennock

“The eyeGraine™ treatment plan has had amazing results to date. As our research continues, we hope to bring this technology to other parts of the country. Our ultimate goal is that all headache sufferers will have the option of being evaluated for this safe and effective treatment plan.”

M

~ Dr. Carol B. Miles, The Headache Center of Neurology Associates

ore than 45 million Americans endure severe pain and often miss work because of chronic headaches. The ailment often is mistakenly lumped into the migraine category, but a new treatment is improving the quality of life for many sufferers, says Dr. Carol B. Miles, a neurologist at The Headache Center of Neurology Associates.

The discovery by Dr. Miles and a team of brain specialists and advanced eye-care experts is based on how the eyes communicate with the brain to seamlessly view images.

When the pathway doesn’t function correctly because of a misalignment between the images each eye sees, a frequent result is a dull, aching headache caused by the overstimulation of a nerve in the brain. The condition has been coined “eyeGraine™” by Neurology Associates.

100

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • august/september 2014

“EyeGraines™ are a previously undefined chronic, daily headache type. These headaches usually cause a dull ache brought on during the day with reading and working on the computer. Patients may also develop dry eyes and sleepiness with these activities. They are bothered by bright lights, particularly bright sunlight, and by headlights at night. Neck pain is another very common feature of this headache type,” Dr. Miles says.

She shares that “eyeGraines™ are diagnosed by the clinical history of the patient and also by a diagnostic tool called SightSync. This tool gives us a prescription for neuroLenses™.

These lenses can be fit to any frame so they look like regular prescription eyewear. The neuroLenses™ are worn during waking hours and the headaches and neck pain can start to improve in a few hours to a few days.

The eyeGraine™ treatment plan is a yearlong process that requires repeated SightSync testing and updated neuroLenses™ as the brain adapts.

The only place this is currently offered is at The Headache Center of Neurology Associates in Sioux Falls.”

Dr. Miles collaborated with Dr. Jeff Krall, an innovative optometrist in Mitchell, South Dakota, who developed the SightSync diagnostic tool and neuroLenses™ to treat eyeGraine™. Dr. Krall and Dr. Miles started their research a few years ago and continue it today.

Taking Action

Discovering, Treating Allergies Key to Adult Sufferers Finding Relief

A

llergies can be overwhelming, tap your energy and make your life utterly miserable. Itchy, watery eyes, headaches, constant sneezing and congestion are all hallmark signs of allergies. However, many adults endure these symptoms daily without investigating the cause or finding a long-term treatment.

Such aversion to get to the root of the problem isn’t a good idea. In fact, it can downright sabotage your future health, according to nurse practitioner Denton Combs of Denton Combs Center for Excellence in Care.

Allergies occur when you are exposed to something—called a trigger—that your body over-reacts to, causing an immune response.

These over-reactions are meant to protect your body, but they also frequently cause mild to severe discomfort, pain and worse. Because Denton has specialized in allergy and chronic ear, nose and throat problems for the past 15 years, he has an incredible success rate in

Don’t suffer through another allergy season!

helping his patients identify their allergies and treat them effectively through avoidance, pharmaceutical management or immunotherapy.

Denton notes, “Allergies can be treated, but not if they’re not identified. Using overthe-counter medications such as Afrin® seems to take care of the problem because it does a good job of providing instant relief.

However, since you’re not addressing the true issue, you will never have the opportunity to treat your allergy. Once you decide to stop settling for short-term fixes and find the real culprit, we can turn the situation around for you.”

And when you factor in age, time isn’t on your side because allergies can actually continue to worsen until you turn 55. However, the good news is that once the allergies are identified and treated, the progression of its symptoms can be stopped and the effects greatly reversed.

Denton says, “Treating your allergy symptoms and ignoring the cause can actually cause your immune system to become very strained and work ineffectively. If you’re suffering from allergies you shouldn’t wait to treat them since they can actually worsen and become more difficult to treat the older you get.”

“The longer you wait to discover and treat your allergies, the more strain you put on your body.

It can take just a few appointments to determine the cause of your problem and then we can move forward with a treatment plan that can literally change your life.

It’s amazing and very gratifying to see how my patients’ lives can change after treatment.” ~ Denton Combs, Denton Combs Center for Excellence in Care

a Gifting Life Back

By Margaret Pennock • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

Anna Fischer

Donates Kidney to Her Mother to Give Her a Chance at New Life

U

pon first meeting Anna Fischer, you would never know she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis or that she had undergone donating a kidney just three years ago. The ultimate soccer mom, professional woman and fitness fanatic, Anna matter-of-factly takes life in stride and makes everything work for her family and herself without missing a beat.

Originally from Canby, Minnesota, Anna is the middle child in a family of three girls. Always the natural caretaker of the clan, she is exceptionally close with her sisters, Amy and Allyson, as well as her parents, Jim and Cindy. A mother to two girls of her own, Hailee and Cambell, Anna and her husband, Jon, live just outside of Sioux Falls in Hartford, South Dakota.

rowing up, Anna clearly remembers her mother dealing with health issues caused by lupus, which she was diagnosed with more than 30 years ago. An autoimmune disease, lupus causes a body’s immune system to attack normal, healthy tissue. This results in symptoms such as inflammation, swelling and damage to the heart, joints, skin, kidneys, blood and lungs.

A fiercely private woman, her mother frequently suffered through the disease in silence refusing to allow it to rule her life or affect her family. Cindy shares, “After I was diagnosed with lupus, the biggest issue was that I never knew how or when it was going to affect me. It attacks different organs for different people at different times, and over the years I’ve been hospitalized for issues regarding my heart and lungs, inflammation from arthritis as well as damage to my kidneys.”

The disease had progressively gotten worse for Cindy, eventually making her so sick on Christmas in 2010 that she was placed in the intensive care unit at Sanford USD Medical Center. “It was Christmas day and I had gutted it out because I wanted to spend the day with my family and grandkids, but I knew something was seriously wrong. I finally said that we should go to Sioux Falls.”

y the time Cindy was admitted to the hospital, her body was systematically shutting down. Anna remembers, “She’s had health issues for a really long time, but we never really knew how bad it was because she is pretty good at hiding it from us. We knew it had to be bad since she said she had to go (to the hospital).”

Cindy eventually was released from the hospital, but because her kidneys had been damaged so extensively she now had to undergo dialysis three times a week. She remembers, “In some ways it was ‘Oh my gosh,’ because I knew we wouldn’t be going backward from this. Dialysis means you are tied down and you can’t go anywhere or do anything very easily. It has come a long way, but you’re still tied to that machine three days a week from 10 in the morning

until 2 in the afternoon. I had to go on medical leave because it was so exhausting.”

Anna notes, “We had known that mom was going to eventually need a kidney transplant for several years before this, and I had gotten tested that previous August. My older sister, Amy, can’t be a donor because she has her own health issues and my younger sister, Allyson, was trying to get pregnant so I was the obvious choice.

Although I was a match, her surgeon didn’t want to use me as a donor because of my rheumatoid arthritis. After her hospitalization happened and she was forced to use dialysis, her new surgeon agreed to it.”

Anna soon found out that becoming an organ donor was a lengthy process that involved much more than being a positive tissue match. “There’s a lot of stuff that goes into the process to make sure that you’re not forced into making the decision. You work with a social worker and a psychologist. In addition, you get your blood drawn a lot and have to have your urine tested multiple times. I did this for three or four months before they determined that I was good to go,” Anna says.

Once Anna was cleared to be a donor, the rest of the process seemed to go quickly. Cindy shares, “We picked our date for surgery and then the day before, they ran tests on Anna again to make sure she was still a match and healthy. I think by then, I had such a peace about it that when it came to the time of surgery, it just felt like a prayer had been answered and that it was supposed to be. I wasn’t scared or nervous for myself because it was just what it was supposed to be. I was worried for Anna, however.”

After only 2½ hours, the surgery was done and Anna and Cindy were recovering well. Anna says, “You of course want it to work and since we were such a good match, we didn’t talk about possible failure. I was more worried about it; my mom wasn’t.”

Fortunately, Anna’s kidney functioned immediately for Cindy. And, true to form, just days after her priceless gift to her mother, Anna was at a soccer game cheering on her daughter. She laughs, “People think it’s a big deal but it’s really not that difficult to be willing to give family something that will make their life better.”

Cindy smiles, “I knew Anna was tough because she always has been. She was my support system. It probably wasn’t fair to her, but she went to all my appointments with me and I depended on her. I’m so grateful to her. I love her dearly but I loved her dearly before this as well. I never had doubts that she would do this for me.”

Today, Anna continues to work as a career education coordinator at Southeast Tech, educating high school students about their career options after high school. She is also still deeply committed to physical fitness knowing that keeping her body healthy and strong is important for her future.

Just one year after her kidney donation, Anna ran her first half-marathon in Las Vegas with her sister Allyson, who was three months pregnant. “Fitness makes me feel better about myself,” Anna says, “I just think it’s an important thing to do and it’s part of controlling my arthritis. I know that I need to take care of myself so that I can be happy and here for my family.” sfw

Antique Market Conserving History

By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Margaret Pennock

W

ondering what to do with that attic full of furniture at your mother’s house or maybe the cherished item passed down for generations that you’ve “lovingly” inherited? Rather than collecting dust in the china cabinet, or worse yet, just getting rid of it to spare some space in your home, a new and innovative antique business offers an array of services to accommodate antique lovers, collectors and even those who want to do what’s best with their family heirlooms.

The Antique Market is filled with everything from rustic wagon wheels to intricate glassware, but its owners are passionate about history and helping find new ways to use old items. Owner Laura Bossman says she is committed to following her dreams and finding a way to make the store successful in today’s business market.

Since April, Laura has been operating the Antique Market. “I love helping people just about as much as I love restoring and selling antiques,” she says. What makes her store stand out is Laura’s dedication to customer service, honesty and services typically not found 116

“Finding innovative uses for antique and vintage goods creates history. I love the challenge, but helping people and our environment is fun.”

Laura Bossman, Owner, Antique Market in a traditional antique shop. “Our business is different in a couple of ways,” Laura says. “We’re an antique store, an art gallery for local artists, a repurposing shop and we offer appraisals both in-store and on-site.”

People don’t want to be sold, they want to be helped.

Baby boomers looking to downsize typically have acquired a lot of things and want to know the true value when they move, Laura says. “We can provide that service,” she adds. “And if they choose to sell, we’ll take the item out of their home and sell it for them. It’s a huge perk for people who are busy.” Another benefit is that her store has a “wish book” in addition to a website where customers can email a specific item they are looking for.

“We have pickers and contacts nationwide who can look for things.”

However, her favorite task is when she gets to take a forgettable piece and turn it into something unforgettable. “It’s a wonderful feeling to pass along these old connections from historical things,” she says, “rather than today’s disposable item.” She also believes in conservation.

“Instead of filling up our landfills, one of the benefits of my business is that we take things considered to be trash and repurpose them to be appealing for any type of home and customer.”

Prairie Berry EastPreserving Bank Tradition, Elevating Experience

T

he vintners at Prairie Berry Winery understand that beverages should be emotive, handcrafted with honesty and passion, and the company’s commitment to quality now extends to Prairie Berry East Bank in Sioux Falls.

“Prairie Berry is proud of our strong South Dakota heritage, and our location at the Frank & Transfer Building is a perfect fit for us because of this,” says Sandi Vojta, 5th Generation Winemaker and Brewmaster and Co-Owner of Prairie Berry LLC. “Prairie Berry prides itself on providing an ‘authentic South Dakota experience’ and the East Bank area of downtown Sioux Falls offers just that for Sioux Falls residents and visitors.”

According to Sandi, Sioux Falls has always been on the “company roadmap” because of the shopping, food and loyal patronage to Prairie Berry, but the location sealed the company’s expansion plan.

“Our guests love that they can be a part of a true South Dakota experience and enjoy wines and craft beer made in our beloved state.” ~ Sandi Vojta, 5th Generation Winemaker and Brewmaster and Co-Owner of Prairie Berry LLC.

“The architecture of the building provided the ideal backdrop for our design of the space, and many of our found and reclaimed pieces that we have used combine perfectly for a beautiful space to enjoy our award-winning wines and craft beer,” she says.

While Prairie Berry East Bank offers a different experience than Prairie Berry Winery or the Miner Brewing Company, elements of Prairie Berry’s personality are evident and uniquely South Dakota.

“The Anna Pesa’ label is in honor of my great-great grandmother, and the type and style of wines she produced as a winemaker in the old country (Moravia),” Sandi shares.

“It was when she came over to the Dakota Territory in the 1800s that she utilized the wild fruit that was available to her for wine118

making. Producing the Anna Pesa’ label and style of wines is our way of coming full circle in honoring and acknowledging her winemaking skill and diversity.”

Sandi entices guests by suggesting they “sip, savor and enjoy” all that Prairie Berry East Bank has to offer. The destination features a Fermentation Bar offering Prairie Berry wines and Miner Brewing craft beer. The kitchen has sandwiches, soups, pizzas and artisan plates that pair perfectly with fermented beverages. The Epicurean Bar showcases select cheeses, sliced meets and fresh-baked bread. The Marketplace has Prairie Berry bottled wines, compotes, jams and the winery’s specially made wine freeze and roasted coffee available for purchase.

Bodylight Figure Transformation Noninvasive, Pain-free Skin Rejuvenation Story and Photos by Margaret Pennock

A

ccording to the Boston Medical Center, approximately 45 million Americans diet each year. Unfortunately, even when working out consistently and monitoring a strict diet, the results often don’t measure up to expectations. As a Sioux Falls chiropractor, Dr. Wesley Heckel focuses on helping his patients regain their health and well-being to improve their quality of life. A common theme among many of his patients was the need for assistance in losing weight.

Dr. Heckel was so interested in assisting his patients that he found a method to help: Bodylight Figure Transformation.

He shares, “I became interested in this procedure as people were asking me what they should do in order to lose weight. Many of them really seemed to be doing everything within reason to lose weight and were feeling better, but they were still frustrated. A light finally went on when I realized that what they were saying and what they were meaning were two different things. What they were asking for was to have a fitter figure but not necessarily weigh less.”

Bodylight Figure Transformation can help reduce inches, reduce fat percentage and even rejuvenate facial features. The procedure utilizes noninvasive and pain-free special-frequency light waves to safely penetrate the skin and be absorbed by fat cells. It is successfully used to contour the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, neck, chest and calves.

“The treatments are used in conjunction with workout and diet plans to boost results. Our clients have had very realistic expectations in that they are trying to use the results to spark even more healthy changes in their lives.” ~ Dr. Wesley Heckel Bodylight Figure Transformation

Dr. Heckel notes, “Bodylight is being used in a variety of ways. We have new moms trying to get their figure back quicker, ladies in their 40s to 50s who are making a point of keeping their figure looking great, as well as brides who are just trying to look their best for the ‘Big Day’… In general, a patient will lose about 2 to 4 inches in 9 to 12 sessions, when referring to the abdominal area.

If they are doing workouts and eating right, we’ve seen between 5 and 9 inches in respect to the same area. The excitement from seeing some inches coming off quickly spurs them on to lots of great changes.”
