‘HOOD ADVICE
Kristin and nine-year old Jaydene play at the marble wall in the Children’s Care Lobby.
Beyond Me... Seeing Beyond Self Kids learn by example, for good or ill. Kristin Pollema learned the good stuff--about giving back as a thanksgiving for her blessings-by watching her parents volunteer at church, at school, and in the community. “Really, though, my wife and I feel like she’s taught us more about volunteering than we’ve taught her,” says her dad, Joel. “She just has a heart for giving.” Joel and Connie brought up their three girls to think of others first, and the Angel Tree was always part of their holiday tradition. “Kristin was always hard to get gifts for,” says Joel. “She just wanted to give to others.” The Pollemas weren’t a bit surprised when Kristin decided to start volunteering at Children’s Care Hospital & School nearly two years ago, and that for her 17th birthday, she wanted only money so she could buy toys for the kids she was volunteering with. “That gave her more joy than anything,” says Joel. “She and a friend went to Toys R’ Us and had a ball picking out toys for the kids.”
“I couldn’t believe that a teenager could be so selfless,” says Children’s Care Case Manager Leslie Stusiak-Drew. Kristin quickly bonded with the children she worked with at Children’s Care, says Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Donahue. She visits faithfully, and has become good friends with a particular teenage girl at Children’s Care. The two regularly engage in girl talk, fingernail painting, and computer surfing, plus Kristin sometimes helps with homework with her and other children. Her experience at Children’s Care has given her direction for her own career— after graduating from Brandon Valley High School next spring, she plans to attend USD and pursue a career in special education or some other field working with kids with special needs. Kristin says she keeps coming back because of the way the kids make her feel. “It sounds corny, but it’s true,” she says. “As much as you give, they give back more. I always leave smiling.” n

‘HOOD ADVICE
HELP for the Holidays! By Erin Hill, Hocus Pocus Errands
Tis the season for faith, family, friends and fun! The end of the year is always a time for reflection, but rarely for relaxation. Between work, school, children’s activities, church functions, gift shopping, home decorating and cleaning for company, before we know it it’s the beginning of a new year! This year, consider hiring an errand service to help relieve some of the pressure. Errand companies offer a wide variety of services for rates that are probably more reasonable than you might expect.
SHOPPING
What can an errand service offer you? Not only extra hands, but an extra vehicle too! Let an errand service transport your
pets, pick up your groceries, shop for the perfect gift, wait for utility appointments and lots more! We are a hard-working, self-sufficient bunch of people in this part of the country, and maybe you’ve always considered an errand service a luxury (or never considered one at all). This year, consider gifting yourself with the most precious commodity – TIME! Or, give the gift of time to someone you love – what better present could you give? Consider letting someone else do “the running” (through the snow) while you spend your time with your loved ones this holiday season. n
Smart Holiday Shopping
6 | December/January 2012 | thehoodmagazine.com
By Shaina Herrmann, Shaina’s Deals • In addition to creating your Christmas budget, set aside cash to use for your shopping rather than using your credit cards. You will stay in your budget and it will help you to easily see how much you are spending. • When buying gifts, always get a gift receipt. Keep all of your receipts; keep them until at least February. You never know when you’ll need to return something. • Have everyone in your family create an online Amazon.com Wish List. This is the easiest way to create a list online since you are able to add to it from any website on the web. • When ordering online, check Savings.com and FreeShipping. org to check your store’s available discounts and free shipping codes! • We all love photo gifts, but ordering photos can be quite a time consuming task, especially when there are so many great online deals thrown at you at once during the Holiday season. Begin organizing your photos ahead of time! When the free or discounted prints, photo books, or photo gifts come along, you’ll be prepared. Just a few clicks and you’re ready to order!

Family Traditions LIFE IN THE ‘HOOD
by Taryn Sonnenfeld
Why do we have them? Why are they important? Do we need to pass things onto our children from us, our family, our culture?
8 | December/January 2012 | thehoodmagazine.com
LIFE IN THE ‘HOOD
Tradition
[truh-dish-uhn]
1. the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, especially by word of mouth or by practice. 2. something that is handed down 3. a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting 4. a continuing pattern of culture beliefs or practices
The following quote is from Dr. Richard Bavaria, Sylvan Learning Education: “I notice so many kids who have no idea about their families’ pasts. No idea about their heritage, cultures, geographic roots, or relatives’ accomplishments, religions, and fascinating stories. That’s too bad. Roots create stability, pride, and a sense of belonging. If it’s possible to share roots with your children, why not do so?” If a child has no sense of who they are, where they come from or the understanding that they are a part of something bigger than themselves, what do you think the outcome will be? Will there be pride in their culture, their community and environment? Will they care about others and value the contributions and differences of other cultures, families? I believe every child needs a firm foundation of exactly who they are. You may think that a tradition like baking Christmas cookies together or writing letters to Santa is a small thing, but you are building memories and giving them an endless wealth of family strength and tradition to tap into as they grow into the people they will be. A child also draws comfort from familiarity, from consistency. Creating and continuing traditions in your household is something they can and will look forward to all year! It’s never to late to start a tradition, even better, let your children help you create one or many. This holiday season, draw them close, spend time, laugh, and purpose to enjoy each other!

Family Traditions LIFE IN THE ‘HOOD
Melissa Williams and Family:
We have a couple holiday traditions that started with my childhood and have incorporated into holidays at our house. 1) Watching the Sound of Music as a family. It’s a little long for the little ones right now, but they both LOVE the music. 2) We always pick a gift and put under the angel tree in the mall. 3) I usually pack away the kid’s letters to Santa from the year before and we review it before writing letters for the new season. 4) We listen to children’s Christmas music while decorating the Christmas tree. This year, in addition to the angel tree, I think I’m going to start a volunteering activity for the kids to participate in.
Kim Burma and Family: 1) Each holiday season, my kids (Jimmy – 13 and Maddie – 12) get 2 small gifts under the tree from Santa…we feel that since we are so blessed in our lives that we give back to those less fortunate in our community. We want the kids to know that the holiday season is a time to give and not always receive so we donate items to several organizations in need during Christmas instead of them getting many gifts under the Christmas tree. Jimmy and Maddie come with me to purchase the items and help distribute them to the proper outlets. 2) Every year my husband and I give each of our children a Christmas ornament that somehow signifies something about them…we have a tree just for their special ornaments or any ornaments they have hand made.
Anna Zehner and Family: 1) A few traditions that our family has are new pjs that you get to open on Christmas Eve and wear to bed. 2) Putting a carrot out for Rudolph with Santa’s cookies.... 3) A creative one my husband came up with a few years ago...he recorded sleigh and reindeer hoof sounds and Santa going HO HO HO on his computer and plays it after the boys go to bed (on a timer once we are up in the room with them to tuck them in so it CAN’T be us! I think traditions are very important because we never forget them when we’re older and traditions represent love of family and the perpetuation of that love...and remembrance of youth and our roots.

Getting Kids to Take Medicine It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it! By Jonathan Engbers, MD Center for Family Medicine When your child is sick, getting into a battle over taking medicine is probably the last thing either of you wants to do. So what is a parent to do when an ill child refuses to take the medicine he or she needs to get better? Many parents are aware of the time-honored tactic of using a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down. But before you begin drizzling that icky antibiotic over two scoops of ice cream, consider the following tips and tricks for getting your child to take his or her medicine.
• Offer a reward. A little bribery can go a long way. Offer a small toy or set up a sticker chart with one sticker for each dose successfully swallowed. Let your child take the chart to their next doctor’s visit to show off their accomplishment.
• It’s all in the delivery. Your attitude is important. Start with a smile and firmly yet pleasantly inform your child that it is time to take some medicine. Let your child choose whether the medicine is given via spoon, dropper or small cup. If possible, give your child a choice among colors or flavors of medication before you buy it. Just be sure the proper dose is provided and let the child take it from there.
• Substitute form or flavor. Ask your pharmacist if the medication comes in alternative forms. Many children are able to take a chewable tablet if one is available. If not, check if a better-tasting flavor can be added to the liquid. FLAVORx flavors are widely available and range from apple and banana to chocolate and bubblegum.
• Avoid the taste buds. For very young children, using a dropper to squirt the medicine into the cheek avoids the taste buds and makes it more difficult to spit the medicine out.
• Use a disguise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it is okay to mix the medicine in with a small amount of applesauce, ice cream, or fruit juice. Just remember that your child needs to eat or drink all of it in order to get the full dose.
• Avoid the mouth. If your child is miserable with a fever and won’t take an oral fever reducer, consider using a suppository such as FeverAll (Tylenol). Check with your doctor for proper dosing if you are uncertain. n

‘HOOD ADVICE
duringt he holidays by Greta Stewart, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center
Healthy Relationships Traditions: You Don’t Have To Do Anything
When it comes to traditions over the holidays, experts recommend remembering that you have a say. The key is to take some control over the holidays, instead of letting them control you. For instance, you may find the family obligations of the holidays overwhelming. You have to make the fruitcake according to your grandmother’s recipe, even though you personally find it inedible. You have to go over to your aunt’s for the holiday dinner. You have to leave a poinsettia on your grandfather’s grave, even though it’s three hours and two states away. You don’t exactly want to do any of these things. You just have to. This holiday season, don’t unthinkingly do things the same way just because that’s how you always do them. If the old holiday traditions aren’t working, if they’re not making you happy and causing holiday stress, it’s time to do something different. “Start new family traditions for your family,” Lezlee Greguson, Ph.D., licensed psychologist at Avera Midwest Psychiatry Medicine, states. • Take your kids to help serve meals to the homeless • Adopt a family less fortunate than you • Have a potluck dinner in place of your regular holiday meal • Have a winter picnic • Have a family pajama day. “I think family members can learn from traditions that it can be wonderful to carry traditions through generations, but don’t be too upset if you can’t keep up every element,” Greguson warns. “Also, if you’re starting a new tradition, consider how it plays into family dynamics. In adding in a new tradition, try to remember to keep it consistent from prior years. Children like predictability and consistency and this may create a calming, more enjoyable time for everyone.” Family relationships and traditions can be complicated, explains Ken Duckworth, MD, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. 20 | December/January 2012 | thehoodmagazine.com
“There’s this idea that holiday gatherings with family are supposed to be joyful and stress-free,” he says. “That’s not the case. Family relationships are complicated. But that’s doesn’t mean that the solution is to skip the holidays entirely.” Remember, some people may write off signs of serious depression as mere holiday stress. It’s unwise – even dangerous – to ignore depression symptoms for weeks or months in the hopes that they’ll just disappear come January. So while holiday stress about maintaining relationships and traditions may be seasonal, depression can be year-round. If your holiday anxiety seems severe or is interfering with your job or home life, talk to your doctor, a counselor, friend or family member to receive support. n

1 1/2 c. sliced celery 1 c. chopped onion 1/2 c. butter or margarine 1 tbsp. snipped fresh sage or 1 tsp. poultry seasoning 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
12 c. dry bread crumbs 3/4 to 1 c. chicken broth 1 10-12 lb. turkey 2 tbsp. olive oil small red cooking apples (optional) fresh herb sprigs (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325° F. For stuffing, in a large skillet cook celery and onion in hot butter over medium heat for 3 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in sage and black pepper. Place dry bread cubes in a large bowl; add onion mixture. Drizzle with enough of the chicken broth to moisten, tossing lightly to combine. Remove neck and giblets from the turkey. Rinse the inside of the turkey; pat dry with paper towels. Spoon some of the stuffing loosely into the neck cavity of the turkey. Pull the neck skin to the back; fasten with a skewer. Lightly spoon more stuffing into the body cavity. (Place any remaining stuffing in a casserole; cover and chill. If desired, for a moister stuffing, drizzle with additional broth. Bake stuffing in casserole alongside turkey about 45 minutes or until heated through.) Tie legs to tail with 100% cotton kitchen string or tuck the ends of the drumsticks under the band of skin across the tail. Twist the wing tips under the back. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil; season with additional salt and pepper. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into the center of one of the inside thigh muscles, making sure the bulb does not touch bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil. Roast turkey for 2 1/2 hours. Cut the string or band of skin between the drumsticks so the thighs will cook evenly. Uncover; roast for 45 minutes to 1 1/4 hours more or until meat thermometer registers 180° F and an instant-read thermometer inserted in stuffing registers at least 165° F. Remove turkey from oven. Cover; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. If desired, serve on a platter garnished with small apples and herb sprigs. Makes 12 to 14 servings.

Main Dishes Con’t. Glazed Ham with ApricotMustard Sauce Ingredients 7 lbs. cured smoked ham (butt end) room temperature 2 c. apricot jam 1/4 c. mustard powder butter for aluminum foil
Directions
t e a r o u t fo r c o o k i n g
Preheat oven to 375° F with rack in lowest position. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil; place roasting rack in pan. With a sharp knife, trim fat, leaving a 1/4 inch thick layer. Lightly score fat in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Place ham, fat side up, on rack; roast 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jam and mustard (they can be mixed and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead). Transfer 1/2 c. mixture to a small bowl to glaze ham. Set aside saucepan with remaining mixture. After 1 hour, brush ham with glaze. Repeat every 15 minutes until brown and shiny, and an instantread thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, registers 130° F, about 1 hour more (if glaze starts to burn, tent ham with buttered foil). Discard unused glaze. Remove ham from oven; cover loosely with buttered foil to keep warm. Temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees. Bring jam mixture in saucepan to a boil. Carve ham, serve with sauce.
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Bacon and Herbs Ingredients 1 head garlic 2 tbsp. olive oil 6 (1/2 lb.) pork tenderloins, rinsed and patted dry, trimmed of fat 6 sprigs fresh sage 6 sprigs fresh rosemary 6 sprigs fresh thyme
18 strips bacon (about 3/4 lb.) salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
Directions
Heat oven to 400° F. Remove papery outer skin from garlic head. Place garlic head on square of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and wrap. Bake until softened, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic flesh from head, pressing garlic against work surface with flat side of table knife. Arrange 3 tenderloins on work surface, flat side up. Spread flat side of each tenderloin with 1/3 of the roasted garlic. Strip leaves from fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme; discard stems. Place 1/3 of each herb on each tenderloin, scattering leaves over the garlic. Place 3 remaining tenderloins on top of herb-coated tenderloins, with flat sides down, and matching larger ends to the tapered ends. Wrap 6 strips of bacon around each pair of tenderloins; tie bacon in place with kitchen twine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides. Place large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add remaining tablespoon oil and butter, and melt. Arrange tenderloins in skillet in batches to keep them from touching. Sear until golden brown on all sides, rotating as needed, about 10 minutes per tenderloin. Transfer seared tenderloins to large roasting pan; place in the oven. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat register 150° F about 15 minutes. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board; let stand 10 minutes. Remove twine before carving.
Meatless Recipe Classic Cheese Lasagna Ingredients 1 lb. whole-milk ricotta cheese 1 large egg 1/8 tps. freshly grated nutmeg 3/4 tsp. coarse salt freshly ground pepper 1 lb. fresh mozzarella marinara sauce cooked lasagna noodles, cut into 4x13 inch strips 5 oz. coarsely grated Parmesean cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine ricotta, egg, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Coarsely grate 1/2 of the mozzarella, and stir into ricotta mixture. Using your fingers, shred remaining mozzarella into 2 inch strips, and reserve. Spread 1/2 c. marinara in a 9 x 13 in. baking dish. Place a layer of noodles over marinara. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over noodles, and sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan. Place a layer of noodles over the cheese layer. Spread 1 c. marinara over noodles. Repeat layering (noodles, marinara, noodles, ricotta mixture, Parmesan) 2 more times. Spread remaining marinara over cheese layer, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until cheese is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
