Inspiring Choices for Senior Living

My mom is thriving here. We love how much SHE loves her home at Cherrywood Pointe! Cherrywood Pointe of Plymouth Family Member
e’re well on our way through summer with fall in our sights. Typically, this issue, which features themes of education, family and seniors, would include our annual Prep Elite article. Each year, we ask area high schools to nominate incoming seniors, who exemplify the schools’ standards of excellence in a multitude of areas. Our editorial team then highlights four or five of the students in our pages. This year is different—because last year and much of 2021 have been “different.” Under regular circumstances, it’s difficult to feature only a handful of the nominated students because they all are amazing in unique and admirable ways. This year, we felt it would be downright impossible to choose Prep Elites. This time around, let’s salute all our high school seniors for what they’ve missed, endured, overcome and accomplished as they navigated the end of their high school educations and beginning of their “what’s next.” We’re proud of Plymouth’s students—from the littles to the seniors. Our team did, however, stay true to this issue’s themes, and Madeline Kopiecki shares on page 16 how Sara Swan of Looking Forward Life Coaching educates and encourages clients of all abilities to make successful transitions. On page 14, Angela Johnson sheds light on practical ways families can assist aging parents. Visit page 12, where I have the pleasure of writing about Virginia Sievers, who embarked on her writing career after many years as an educator. And that’s not the half of it! I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Until next time,

Help aging parents prepare for moving.
There comes a time when we may need to help our parents downsize and move from their homes. Being organized can ease the process. Ideally start six to 12 months in advance to limit stress and ensure a smooth transition to a new home. Find a reputable real estate agent to represent your parents, and begin the process of preparing for the move. Consider the amount of space at the new location, and work to reduce clutter and unnecessary possessions by donating, selling or recycling. Set aside items that will be used for home staging and pack anything (like holiday decorations) that will not be needed prior to the move. Labeling boxes is important. On the top and side of each box write your parents’ last name and the contents. Downsizing is an excellent time to review, reduce and consolidate paperwork. Nerdwallet (nerdwallet.com) has a handy list detailing which documents to keep and for how long. Shred papers, which include personal information, that you do not plan to keep. Place remaining paperwork in a waterproof container, and label it. Be sure medical documents are readily accessible. The amount of knickknacks and small collectables can increase over the years. Before getting rid of them, research their value to see if the items would be worth selling. Otherwise, donating them is a good option. For highly sentimental items, consider taking a picture of them, so you and other family members will always have the memory on hand. Two months prior to the move, consult with a professional stager to help put the finishing touches on the home. He/she might recommend painting and making minor updates or repairs. (A real estate agent can also make recommendations.) Life transitions are equal parts exciting and challenging. With proper planning, you can celebrate this next step with your parents by reminiscing and looking forward.

Refreshing cocktail “looks just like the sunset.”

I’ve chosen another novice-level cocktail for the Dog Days of Summer, and I thought it’d be good to hang onto the last bit of the season with a rum-based cocktail. EL PRESIDENTE • 1.5 oz. light rum (I like Don Q, Puerto Rican rum) • ¾ oz. orange curacao • ¾ oz. dry vermouth • Dash of grenadine The dryness of the vermouth keeps this from being too sweet, so you can vary it based on preference. Pour all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice; shake well, and strain. Pour the mixture into a martini glass, and garnish with an orange twist.

So Good So You Give your health a shot in the arm.
“WE WANTED TO CREATE something that made an impact in the world, more than what we could do as individuals,” says Golden Valley’s Rita Katona of the motivation behind So Good So You. “We are passionate about helping people be healthy and supporting the environment through sustainable initiatives.” Combining clean whole foods with bright, bold flavor, the beverage company offers single-serving, fresh-pressed probiotic juices and juice shots that target digestive and immune health. “Everything is function driven,” coowner Katona says about the purpose behind each juice. “We want to make everything delicious because we want this to be a lifestyle, something that people can incorporate into their rituals and routines because that is how positive, lasting change can happen.” Founded in 2014 by Katona and her husband, Eric Hall, the company began as a way to provide healthy and effective solutions for people and the environment. Using certified organic ingredients, So Good So You makes its juice, then pressurizes it to extract essential fibers, kill bacteria and create an optimally nutrient product that is easier to absorb through the lining of the stomach and intestines after consumption. Its juices are manufactured out of So Good So You’s zero-waste, renewableenergy powered facility in Minneapolis. In addition, the company became the first in the industry to launch BtrBtl™ or better bottle, a container that looks similar to a plastic bottle but biodegrades in a landfill at an accelerated rate. Instead of typical plastic taking several hundred years to break down, the BtrBtl™ can do so in just five to seven years.

Important Stories to Tell Author discusses writing, age and where she learned to see and feel innocence, joy and heartache. BY RENÉE STEWART-HESTER
THE LESSON HERE COULD BE—you never know where or when inspiration will reveal itself. Virginia Sievers was attending a creative writing group, which she joined after retirement, when, “A 90-yearold woman encouraged me to enter a literary contest,” Sievers says. “To my surprise, my entry won first prize. I started ‘playing around’ with stories then, which led to books and now to Callie Sue’s story.”
12

Sievers has written and published short story collections, including Waiting: A Collective (award winner) and No Dancing in the Kitchen. Her first novel, Sunshine on Water: The Unsettling Story of Callie Sue Hannamann was published in November 2020. The novel follows the aftermath when farm girl Callie Sue, 14, vanishes without a trace. “Human bondage is in the news, and it’s heartbreak-

(763) 273-4207 ing, so, when [character] Walter’s beloved dog Shep was found in a cornfield with his neck slashed, it prompted me to wonder why, and I hope my readers will wonder why, as well,” Sievers says. “My wondering meandered around and eventually led to Callie Sue’s unsettling story.” Sievers’s work has a collective thread. “All of my books are about common ordinary people—our friends and neighbors and co-workers, who often have untold but poignant experiences and emotions,” she says.” I try to understand their joys and heartaches. To me, all of my ordinary people are heroes.” Writing, Sievers says, is one of her passions. “I admit that ‘I’m hooked,’” she says. “I write fiction, and my characters become real in my mind. What I’m working on at the time becomes a full-time endeavor. I get very involved.” Before becoming an author, Sievers taught in Washington, Nebraska, Bloomington and Minneapolis. She says, “That’s where I learned to be observant—where I learned to see and feel innocence and joy and heartache. That’s where I learned to care.” She was also an administrator for a time. At 84, Sievers remains motivated. “… There are so many important stories to tell,” she says, and age has offered more than perspective. “Age has brought courage to be more creative in subject matter,” she says. “And age has brought time. I have time to think about what I want to say and time to experiment with style. So all in all, I think I’m a better writer now. And that feels good. Someone told me one should not write if one has nothing important to say. The combination of age and experience provides a wealth of material that is important to say.” What’s on deck? “I write a short story every month for a writing group here at Trillium Woods, where I live,” Sievers says. “I’d like to put these stories into a collection, Stories Written at Trillium Woods, or something like that. Writing Callie Sue’s story, a novel, was a challenge I feel good about, so I’d like to try a novel again.”

Important Conversations Let’s talk about about aging.
ADULT CHILDREN between the ages of 30 and 50 can find it daunting to navigate the conversation minefield that is aging and end-of-life care with their parents. Jae-Woo Kim M.D., a Twin Cities hospitalist, says it’s not uncommon for people to avoid discussions about death and dying; when you or your loved one is healthy, the topic seems irrelevant. Open communication, observation and action are key. Kim provides tips to help empower aging

parents and provide their children with concrete ways to help them as they age. What to watch for: “Our function slowly declines over time,” Kim says. “Falls and fractures can take someone from 95 percent down to 75 percent with other complications down the road. Assess [your loved one’s] mobility by observing how well they get around the house. Is there clutter that could cause a potential trip and fall?” In addition, Kim says, “Isolation and
hearing loss is a huge unrecognized factor in depression.” Those with poor hearing may be embarrassed and begin to shut down, communicating less and less. Pay attention to whether parents are being social, and help them to remain engaged. Aging in place: Some folks love their homes and don’t want to leave. “But you need a sense of if it’s manageable,” Kim says. Remaining in their home can be good, as it encourages movement—to and from the kitchen or bathroom, for

example. While community living may not “feel” like home, it can provide much needed socialization opportunities with peers. Family communication: Adult children should seriously think about how many encounters they likely have left with their parents over the next 20–30 years. “Parents want some connection even if it’s brief. Try to stay engaged, and be willing to be the one to reach out first; and keep other siblings in the loop,” Kim says. Metaphorically speaking, Kim says, “Siblings who live farther away may know ‘there’s fire’ but assume Mom and Dad are still doing okay. It’s the siblings who are taking care of Mom and Dad who ‘feel the heat;’” they understand what’s happening. So again, communication is key, preferably without judgement or guilt. How to help: Staying active, picking up new hobbies and being engaged with peers are vital to healthy aging, according to Kim. For example, he says, “My 65-year-old mother picked up cello and golf. She knows she’s not going to be good at it but wanted to try something new.” To that end, Kim says, “Weight gain or health issues can lead to the temptation to do less, but that’s the opposite of what we should do. We should encourage our parents to stay mentally engaged with things like puzzles, reading and volunteering.” Managing healthcare: Kim acknowledges there is a power imbalance in healthcare. “It’s like going to a mechanic. I don’t know if what he says is right. Fortunately, in Minnesota, we have great systems and an abundance of access to care,” he says. Kim recommends choosing a doctor with five to 10 years of experience (Like with many first jobs, there’s more potential for young doctors to move around.) and who is likely to age with you. He notes it’s also easier to streamline care when patients remain within the same healthcare system.
For more insight into this topic, Kim recommends Being Mortal by Atul Gawnde.

LO C A L NO NP R O F I T T U R NS ST UMB LING B LO CKS INTO ST E PPING STO NE S . While Sara Swan has over two decades of experience in special education, she initially didn’t have plans to turn a one-off mentorship into a full-fledged organization. But, she ended up developing Looking Forward Life Coaching (LFLC), a nonprofit mentorship program that works alongside people, who could use some assistance in a variety of ways. Swan recalls that, while working at a local preschool, she had a conversation with one of her co-workers about the co-worker’s son, who had difficulty in high school and was struggling in college. The co-worker, who knew about Swan’s background in special education, asked if Swan could help. Swan agreed and started meeting with Nate, and the two began setting goals, which they worked towards for about 20 months. “I turned to his mom and said, ‘Do you think this could ever be a profession for me?’” Swan says. It was Nate’s response that moved her forward. “He said, ‘Listen; there are so many people like me that are falling between the cracks that you need to help. Yes, you have to make this a business,’” Swan says. “He’s been my inspiration ever since.” With an office on the west side of the Metro, Swan says staff meets clients in their homes, coffee shops, restaurants, parks or virtually. “Honestly, if you name the suburb, I know where the Caribou and Starbucks are located. I have been to them all,” she
says, illustrating the business’s geographic reach. During her time working in the education system, Swan found that schools were very systemcentered, emphasizing a collegiate-focused model that might not be right for everyone. In 2001, Swan discovered an approach to challenge the formulaic strategy when she took a training course on person-centered thinking. “It was like a light-bulb moment,” Swan says. “It takes an entirely different approach, where you’re looking at the person and seeing all the incredible, great things that the person has, does, is working towards, instead of focusing on the ways to put that person into a system. Some systems don’t work for people … They need different ways of support.” While Swan wasn’t able to fit this approach into her teaching career at the time, this person-centered approach is now the mantra of LFLC. “We are able to tailor it to whatever the client needs,” Swan says. Topics include tutoring to prepare for the SAT/ACT, learning how to travel internationally, obtaining a driver’s license, honing interpersonal skills and more. Nate has been working with Swan for 10 years. “She’s helped me get through college, find a career, prepare me to rent my first place and become independent,” Nate says. “Together, we turned what worked for me into Looking Forward Life Coaching.” Another client, Jason, connected with LFLC two years ago when he decided he needed to find healthier ways of dealing with everyday struggles. “In my life prior to seeing her, I came up with my own coping that wasn’t helpful or productive in

moving my life in a forward direction,” he says. Jason continues to work on dealing with conflicts, both perceived and real. “[I’m] working to interpret my interactions with others correctly and then have the correct proportionate response,” he says, adding, “This comes out in my marriage, as well as other daily interactions.” Swan says that the reason the organization is called Looking Forward is because mentors and clients spend their time together doing just that— looking forward. “We’re not therapists, we’re not social workers or anything like that, so we’re not focusing in on the past per se,” Swan says. “It’s more, ‘What are the tools that we can put into their tool box of life that can be beneficial to take them to the next steps in life?’” In particular, Swan recalls a young woman, who wanted to move to North Carolina to be with her boyfriend. Working on a nine-month timeline, Swan and the client broke down the move step-bystep, including searching for an apartment, applying for identification and renewing her driver’s license. Up to the week before the move, Swan and
18
AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2021
the client worked to get everything ready. Nearing moving day, Swan took the client out to lunch, bringing a box with her. “Our theme is changing stumbling blocks into stepping stones,” Swan says. “I gave her this box. In this box, I had taken rocks, and on each one of the rocks I had written each one of those different goals: find an apartment, renew driver’s license, save up money, so on and so forth … I said, ‘Listen, this was you; you did this. I came alongside you and encouraged you, but this was you. You changed all these things that were once stumbling blocks into stepping stones, and, look, you get to get on the airplane tomorrow, and you’re moving to North Carolina.’” About two weeks later, Swan connected with the client’s mom, who asked her about the box. When getting ready to fly off to her new life, her daughter couldn’t have cared less if she had her phone, iPad or luggage. “‘She had to get on the airplane with that box of rocks. It had to be under her arm at all times,’” Swan recalls the mother saying. “And I said, ‘Well, that was her journey, and that’s a visual reminder that she did it. She got to that point.’”

Swan says she’s amazed at the reception LFLC has received, across the state and federally as a nonprofit. With 11 part-time staff members, serving communities throughout the Metro, Swan says an even broader, multi-state online program is in the works. “I’m very humbled and in awe of that, and the fact that no matter what, every day we grow in one way or another, and that’s exciting and scary and wild to know that there is a need out there,” she says.

The Fab Tap creates unforgettable experiences. Do what you love. This expression has been key to many people’s success, and Lindsey Pattee of Plymouth took it to heart when creating The Fab Tap. With a desire to share her favorite things with others, Pattee explains that her interests serve as the backbone of her business.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2021
“I always kept going back to the three things that brought me joy—connection, flowers and a bit of bubbly,” she says. “There are a number of people out there that are celebrating every single day, and we want to be a part of any celebration— large or small,” Pattee says about getting
the wheels rolling on her business this past winter. The Fab Tap, which comes by way of a silver 1970s Caravel Land Yacht Airstream RV Trailer, is a customizable experience tap trailer that clients can rent by the hour to host events without the hassle of set up or clean up.
This bar on wheels is equipped with eight taps (four interior and four exterior) and can be filled with beverage options including beer, Champagne, cider, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. A bartender is on hand to assist party goers. Available all year, party goers are able to celebrate inside and outside of the trailer. Tastefully decorated with a sleek and modern design, The Fab Tap’s interior is decked out with matte navy and white cabinets, brass shelving and fixtures, a navy velvet couch (oh, glam!), a butcher block wet bar and an Instagrammable boxwood backdrop equipped with a neon “Be Fabulous” sign. (Talk about social media friendly!) With a support staff comprised of three of Pattee’s friends (Jessica Maglothin, a seasoned bartender; Melissa Molitor, a floral expert; and Lily Sawyer, an active helper in all things Fab Tap) along with husband, Bryan Pattee (the financier), this mobile venue offers a variety of unique add-on experiences, including flower crown or bouquet making, yard games and other interactive elements, such as personalized music playlists, outdoor seating options and photography. “It is truly versatile as to what it serves,” says Kirstin Currie, Pattee’s business advisor and friend. “It is less about the beverage portion but rather bringing an experience together, a connection together to bring joy.” Believing in the power of connection, Pattee has expanded her efforts toward working with other local female-owned enterprises. Supporting businesses such as Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe, Larissa Loden Jewelry and Thirsty Whale Bakery, she is able to amplify their businesses in the community while simultaneously enhancing The Fab Tap clients’ experiences with featured products. (At the time of this writing, Pattee was poised to announce a partnership with Kendra Scott for a customizable jewelry option.) With hopes of collaborating with more businesses in the future, Pattee says the relationships developed with other creatives are the best part of owning her own business. “That is the beauty of it,” she says. “There are so many talented women out there, and I have met a lot of amazing people.”

Executive Orders LUCKY STREET CHEFS BRING A FRESH TWIST TO TRADITIONAL THAI CUISINE. BY MADELINE KOPIECKI PHOTOS BY CHRIS EMEOTT
Felix Navas and Victor Phommachanh serve up their style.
Crazy Soup
After 16 prosperous years in the Mall of America’s (MOA) restaurant scene, Tiger Sushi was due for a change. “Starting about 2016, we saw the shopping traffic at MOA begin to drop dramatically,” says Lisa Edevold, owner of Tiger Sushi and now Lucky Street. It became clear the restaurant needed to make a move, and, luckily, it landed in Plymouth. Edevold and her team took the new start as an opportunity to reinvent the restaurant. “We noticed that there were no Thai restaurants in the area,” she says. Since the Tiger Sushi chefs were as gifted in Thai cooking as they were in sushi, the team decided to switch things up—but not everything needed changing. MEET THE EXECUTIVE CHEFS
At age 20, Felix Navas left his home in Guatemala to join his brothers in the United States. Navas landed a position as a line cook at Edina’s Kozy’s Steak and Seafood and knew he’d found his calling. When a regular customer recommended he visit Tiger Sushi for a roll, Navas took the advice one step further and applied for a job at the restaurant. His efficiency as a prep cook caught the attention of “Tiger” Katayama. When Katayama retired in 2014, it was Navas who took over as manager of the kitchen and sushi bar, which is the position Navas holds at Lucky Street. Vixaysak “Victor” Phommachanh fled Laos when he was 18. After spending two years in a refugee camp in Thailand, Phommachanh came to the United States and began working as a dishwasher to support his family. His work ethic and culinary flair soon caught the attention
30 AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2021
of the chefs at Minneapolis’ Ichiban Japanese Sushi and Steakhouse, and they took him under their wing. By 2005, Phommachanh had worked in some of the best sushi restaurants in the Twin Cities and began his role at Tiger Sushi, where he was head sushi chef for 14 years. Where did you learn to cook? Phommachanh: In my village in Laos, my mother and aunts showed me how to cook the traditional dishes. Later, in the refugee camp in Thailand, I was taught the Thai dishes, too, which are very similar to Laos. I was chosen from my family to be the one to go to the U.S. and work; my job was to send money home to the family. What brought you to Tiger Sushi and Lucky Street? Phommachanh: I had started to make a name for myself at Nami as a sushi chef. But there, I had to adhere closely to their menu and follow exactly as their head chef said. Then, in about 2005, Tiger Sushi offered me a job, but they also allowed me the freedom to create and make menu items that I wanted. They encouraged the fusion of flavors from other cultures. The owner, Lisa, would never order her food from the menu. She would say, “Victor … Make me happy.” That meant go create something “wow!” Often, it was loved so much, it ended up on the menu (Crazy Soup or Red Thai Stir Fry) and quickly became a bestseller. When they opened Lucky Street, they told me, “We don’t want Americanized Thai food. We want what you’d buy from a street vendor in your home country— authentic, bold, traditional, like I cook at home for my family. What are your culinary specialties? Navas: My sauces are what make my sushi rolls so unique. Anyone can cut fish and roll it with rice. It’s the sauces that make the magic. I make several very nice sushi sauces—a creamy mango sauce from fresh mangos and Japanese mayonnaise. I make a sauce called Tiger Sauce that is a blend of pickled serrano [chili peppers] and wasabi. The absolute cult favorite sauce I make is called Screaming
Sauce. For this, we make pickled habaneros and then blend them into Japanese mayo for a creamy hot sauce that our customers can’t get enough of. Phommachanh: Crazy Soup is one of my specialties. It is a very traditional soup from my home. It starts with a clear broth, vegetables, shrimp and noodles. But hidden at the bottom of the bowl is my sunken treasure: A “ball” blended of coconut milk, peanut butter and red curry. As the ball melts, the soup gets creamy and delicious. I also make a red Thai sauce that is my own creation. In Laos and Thailand, our food is Frenchinfluenced (from the French occupation). I add some tricks from that French influence, which are a secret but give the sauce a depth and richness. What inspires your cooking style? Navas: I love to bring a fusion of Latin flavors to my sushi—from the hot Screaming Sauce to adding lime and cilantro. One of the best-selling sushi rolls, called Kickin’ n’ Screamin’, pays homage to my roots in Guatemala. It is topped with thinly sliced jalapenos, cilantro and drizzled with my Screaming Sauce. What is a must-have cooking tool for you? Navas: A good sushi chef is only as good as his knife. A high quality, Japanese sushi knife is essential. They are very expensive, and I own [mine]. Tiger Katayama taught me how to sharpen my knife correctly. I sharpen it every day, always wash it by hand and always replace it back into its case. Without it, I could not make the intricate cuts at the fast pace that I need to keep up with the demand. Phommachanh: A three-tiered steamer pot is essential in Asian wok cooking so as to not overcook your meats. We pre-cook our chicken, beef and pork by steaming them in this three-tier metal steamer. Cooking fast in a very hot wok is the key to good Thai stir fry dishes. So, when it’s time to toss together a wok dish in a very hot wok, we add the meat at the very end so as not to overcook. The steaming is the key; it ensures the meat stays juicy and moist even in the high heat of the wok.

Light Show “We don’t see lightning like this very often …” BY RENÉE STEWART-HESTER
PHOTO BY TROY BRANTNER
SECOND PLACE “IT WAS A FRIDAY AF T ERNOON, and I was work-
ing remotely from home when notifications of approaching storms started appearing on my phone …” Troy Brantner says. “My goal was to capture some dramatic storm shots from the second line of storms, which were produced from the approaching cold front.” The Plymouth resident first went to the Plymouth Creek Center and eventually made a last-minute decision to head over to Parkers Lake, where he took “… several fun shots as the lighting spread out between the clouds,” Brantner says. “We don’t

see lightning like this very often, and here we had two storms a couple of weeks apart with incredible shows.” One of the results is Electrify Parkers Lake, which placed second in the City Landmarks category of our annual photo contest, Picture Plymouth. He used a Sony Mirrorless camera with a 12 mm manual lens. “I chose this particular photo because the lightning spread out horizontally through the sky, making for a nice panoramic photo,” Brantner says. “This type of view helps display how the lightning crawled across the entire sky that night.”
