Palette-Pleasing Road Trip Date Take a Wine Tour By S.J. Menning • Photos by Nancy Tesdall

W

hat could be more inviting than snuggling up with your sweetie on a brisk autumn afternoon? Add in the romantic backdrop and cozy comfort of a quaint winery with glass in hand and it’s a picture-perfect date. No need to jet off to Napa Valley. Sioux Falls and the surrounding area boast nearly a dozen wineries, all within an hour drive. Whether you prefer a quiet, more romantic tour for two or an activity-filled winery event, local wineries are sure to please. To point you in the right direction, here are a few tips that apply to romantic tours as well as larger events.

Go online or call for the winery’s schedule. While most local wineries have regular hours, others require an appointment. This will also allow you to coordinate your trip with the type of tour and activities you desire. Check the winery’s recommendations pertaining to food. Some wineries allow you to bring your choice of crackers and cheese while others provide food on-site. Dress comfortably. Tours may involve plenty of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must! Layers are also recommended. While it may be cool outside, nothing will warm you up like a nice dark red. Skip the perfume and cologne. To fully appreciate the smell and taste of the wines, leave the perfume and cologne at home. Even a subtle perfume can confuse your nose and palette.

Be willing to try something new. Don’t shy away from tasting a wine that you think might be out of your normal preferences. Even if you typically prefer a drier wine, a winery’s specialty sweet wine that introduces a variety of berries could become your new Thanksgiving meal favorite. Feel free to ask questions. Vintners are proud of their work and many enjoy sharing various production techniques to help you learn about the process and what makes each of their wines so unique.

Take notes. If you are visiting just one winery or many, jotting down some notes on the tastes and pairing suggestions can come in handy down the road—especially if you didn’t purchase any bottles while you were there.

Have fun! Wine tasting isn’t a stuffy event. The local wineries around Sioux Falls emphasize a casual, comfortable atmosphere. Many winery events feature live music on certain days. Early October also is a time for harvest festivals at a few wineries, with additional unique activities such as grape stomping, games, and catered food. For more information on local wineries, Southeast South Dakota Tourism Association highlights a Winery Trail with featured wineries winding from Rosholt to Vermillion.

Your Big Day Finding The Perfect Venue By Brianna Venekamp

T

he process of finding a wedding venue can easily leave you feeling like you’re stuck in a grown-up version of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” This venue is toooo expensive. This venue is toooo big. This venue will require toooo much work. What does it take to find a venue that feels… just right?

Know Thy Budget Before you start shopping around, you need to know your budget. If you haven’t set a budget for your wedding, stop reading this and go create a budget. That being said, every venue should provide a range of expenses. At the very least, a venue should quote you how much per person a reception at that location typically costs. It is in the best interest of the facility to do everything possible to meet your needs because the venue’s reputation is on the line with each event. Being honest about what you can realistically afford will save you – and the venue – a lot of headaches in the end.

Bigger Isn’t Always Better For whatever reason, last-minute conflicts will always arise, so your actual number of attendees is inevitably going to be smaller than your original guest list. Unless

In Our Community

you’re planning a formal sit-down meal, book a venue that has a capacity slightly smaller than your guest list. An additional benefit to this is that it will feel like everyone is there and not the other way around.

The To-Do List Remember that setting up, decorating and tearing down are all tasks that need to be managed by someone. Sure, decorating yourself can save money, but don’t forget that what it costs you is your time. Make sure you realistically consider how much you will have to do to prepare or decorate the space. And be honest about how much you’d like to control these aspects. Are you ok with your aunt decorating and your uncle bartending? Or do you want to pay the professional staff to take care of these things? How much time on your special day do you want to devote to “taking out the garbage”? Remember, finding the “just right” venue is about balancing wants and desires, expectations and practicality, along with your budget. Taking time to consider all your options is important, but not as important as being honest about your wants and desires for your special day. Your guests will be most comfortable when they see you are comfortable. And, ultimately, don’t lose sight of the fact that the most important part of the day is that you leave the reception happily married!

The Adoption Option Opening Doors to New Hope By Jennifer Dumke

I

t has been said that there’s nothing easy about adoption other than loving the child. Since 1990, Beth and John Hughes have worked with expectant mothers considering adoption and families looking to adopt through The Adoption Help Firm, a practice area of Hughes Law Office. Beth, who serves as adoption director, and John, an attorney, work together to make the dream of adoption come true. “We work both locally and nationally to improve the chances of our couples to adopt.” Their 26 years of experience and passion for helping families and birth mothers is demonstrated every day. “Adoption is a beautiful process but can be challenging and a roller coaster ride at times,” Beth adds. “If you are like many of our adoptive couples, your decision to pursue adoption includes an unsuccessful and often costly course of infertility and unsuccessful medical interventions. Or perhaps these families or individuals already have a biological child or have adopted a child and are ready to adopt again. Whatever the reason, adoption is a wonderful choice.”

Family Matters

The face of adoption has changed in the past two decades, Beth says. “We are experiencing an ‘adoption renaissance’ due to adoptions becoming more open,” she explains. Because of this, Beth equates the outcome to a rising tide that lifts all boats. In this case, it means that all parties to the adoption process—birth parents, child, and adoptive couple—benefit from this new openness. “A child can never have too many people to love him or her,” Beth says. But education is key. November is dedicated to adoption awareness and the Hugheses plan to do their part through promoting increased public awareness. “We hope to sponsor new, more adoption-friendly laws in our state, and introduce resources so that more mothers choosing adoption feel comfortable with their choice.” Beth says birth mothers choosing adoption want to know two main things: “They want to know if their baby will be loved and that he or she will be safe in the family they choose.” The birth mother starts with viewing profile books to find the right family, Beth says. Staff members work hard to develop a profile book

ave S H e W

with pictures and text that give a birth mother a first-hand look at who the family is. “We also arrange phone calls and meetings with the birth mother and couple. The important thing is that the birth mother controls the process, unlike in the past when she hardly controlled anything.” Another important part of the process is post-placement contact between the birth mother and family. “We’ve recently started using an online service that allows the adoptive couple to upload pictures and updates to a website so the birth mother can check them on her own schedule, and the couple doesn’t have to print and send them.” Families hoping to adopt, even those on modest incomes, can be successful, Beth says. “We do private adoptions, but private doesn’t have to mean expensive.” While adoptions can be expensive, she says some can be accomplished for around the Federal Adoption Tax Credit, which is $13,460 for 2016. “The tax credit is better than a deduction because it’s subtracted from the adopting parents’ tax liability,” Beth adds.

Adoption Help

Another area of concern for couples is the waiting period. “We encourage parents to be as liberal as possible with their adoption criteria, such as race and social factors. The more open, the faster you will match.” Currently, their average wait is anywhere from a few weeks to a year, depending on the family, their budget, and their criteria. She says looking back over the past two decades of their firm doing open adoptions, it has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for all parties involved. In the past when adoptions were closed, there was often a piece missing from the child’s life and the birth mother’s life. “The whole process of adoption is now centered around making sure all the pieces are there, creating a circle of love, with the baby as the center.”

Add a Bit of Power to Your Style By Brianna Venekamp

I

t’s no secret that what you wear can influence your confidence. Any type of uniform makes a person look sophisticated and powerful, so it’s no wonder that each year, new cuts, shapes, fabrics, details and colors continue to inform military fashion trends. This fall, trends include familiar pieces, think combat boots, aviator boots and sunglasses; however, new influences bring various embellishments such as leather and fur, along with 18th century influenced military jackets, instead of the traditional bomber jackets. Look for form-fitting pieces in khaki green or camel khaki, olive, navy and burgundy. For example, a belted field jacket with pleated trousers in khaki green, or an army shirt tucked into high-waist pleated pants. Wear it alone or take it to another level by adding a long, white fur vest.

#1 32

STYLE

What’s different about the jackets this season is that instead of the traditional army surplus store vibe, they take us back to 18th century Britain and France, with their crisp, strong shoulders, decorated with brass buttons, rope trim, and a few modern add-ons such as crystals or bows. These jackets, intended to be paired with jeans or layered over a glittering party dress, along with the other military-influenced pieces, will hopefully offer a bit of extra strength and security, as you face new challenges head-on.

Perfecting Pairings 5 Tips on Ordering Wine Like an Oenophile By Thea Miller Ryan

T

he look the server gives when a customer orders wine with dinner is sometimes crushing and embarrassing enough to make a person quit ordering wine in a restaurant. Apparently, the house white doesn’t go well with steak? Walk away from those red-faced moments in restaurants with a few simple suggestions to remember when ordering wine with a meal. 1. Remember, there are no rules. If you just want a dry Chardonnay with your steak, go ahead. If it’s what you like, get it. You may be missing out on some special

Perfecting Wine Parings

taste sensations that occur when the wine is paired with the right food, but you aren’t wrong for ordering your favorite glass of wine.

2. If you are interested in pairing wine with food for the taste experience, Chef Addison Avery of Keller’s Green Grocery in downtown Sioux Falls says, “The wine you get should match the notes that are in the meat.” To make that simple, he suggests if chicken is prepared with thyme, rosemary and other bright herb flavors, it will go well with white wines. Pair red wines with darker meats. For example, beef tenderloin would go perfectly with a Cabernet Sauvignon.


Made In Italy

3. A new pairing might result in flavors you may not have experienced before. Heather Taylor, owner and manager of GoodSpirits Fine Wine and Liquor, says some of the flavors in wine come from sugar, acid, tannins and fruit. Foods also have flavor components such as sugar, acid and fats. Pairing those elements causes the food and the wine to exhibit different flavors on your palate.

One of her favorite examples is a Chardonnay with a sunny-side-up egg. “Take a big, buttery, oaky, creamy Chardonnay – it has a big, bold flavor. The rich, creamy yoke of an egg really complements the Chardonnay,” she says. On the other hand, the wrong pairing can ruin a meal, too. “Fish paired with heavy wine will obliterate the flavor of the fish and bring out nasty flavors in the wine, too,” Heather says. However, good wine sellers, restaurateurs and wineries usually provide pairing advice as well as recipes for customers. 4. Pork can be confusing for wine pairings, but it’s safest to go with the type of seasonings used for preparation. A white wine goes best with pork cooked inside a tureen or a larded ribeye pork chop, Addison says. Heather adds that she would pair a pork roast with Syrah or Rosé, depending on the seasoning, and she would pair a Riesling with an apple/pork dish. 5. Vegetarians enjoy good wine, too. Addison says one of his personal favorites is a glass of white wine with an entrée of caponata, an eggplant dish with summer squash, red peppers, goat cheese, olive oil and vinegar. Korma, a mixed vegeta ble curry with coconut milk pairs well with sweeter red wines because most kormas have root vegetables and coconut milk. Heather adds that vegetarians who enjoy a lot of green vegeta bles should try Grüner Veltliner or dry Rieslings with their entrée.

M.B. Haskett Offering Downtown ‘comfort pub’ dining By Thea Miller Ryan • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

M

ichael Haskett doesn’t like to take all the credit for the success of his restaurant, M.B. Haskett Delicatessen. He said it really comes down to two things: the incredible women who help manage the business and their dedication to highlighting the best of South Dakota’s locally available ingredients. “I always wanted to open a fine-dining restaurant with high-end food and have the perfect kitchen from day one,” he said, “Instead, we bought this quaint, but well-used, little coffee shop here in downtown.” Michael said they started with just two crockpots and a staff of three friends. Polishing that stone took a while, but now M.B. Haskett is a restaurant mainstay in downtown Sioux Falls. “It’s a neighborhood gathering place, a place to get news, do business, have quick discussions, grab a bit to eat,” he said. “It’s a place to entertain for special occasions or it’s a place to just have your routine. We’re open breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.”

Where To Dine


Aided in the kitchen by souschef Sarah Langenfeld and food purchaser Mary Campbell, Michael creates what he calls his “South Dakota comfort pub” menu. It’s inspired by his Aunt Betty’s cooking, he said, but it comes with healthy, smaller meat portions or with vegetarian and vegan options. Every weekend the restaurant offers a special pre-fix meal such as bison steak, pan-friend trout, or saffron pasta with shrimp that comes with an appetizer and dessert. However, perhaps the most special treat at M.B. Haskett is perfectly poached farm fresh eggs served with Breadico toast. Coffee is from The Breaks Coffee Roasting Company in Sioux Falls. The Breaks Coffee is inimitable and the aroma alone can draw a customer off the sidewalk.

All this divineness is led by host Rebecca Squyer at the front door, a person Michael said rounds out his dream team of servers, cooks and foodies. “We have a very low turnover on our staff,” he said. “We collaborate here, tip share and live the equal-opportunity model on the bottom of our application. It’s creative freedom for food.” M.B. Haskett is located at 324 S. Phillips Ave. Find out more about its menu and dining hours at mbhaskett.com.

Tuscan Luxurious Home Reflects Old-World Italian Beauty By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Margaret Pennock

T

rue beauty

exudes from the exterior of this sprawling classic Tuscan-style home nestled in the heart of the city. The jagged roofline and elongated covered entrance make a bold statement with large double doors accented with decorative wrought-iron features. But once the doors open, an array of architectural details, OldWorld elegance and layers of neutral tones interrupted by pops of bold hues heighten the elegance. Designed with an octagon copulastyle ceiling with crisscross distressed wood beams that are brightened by round windows, the grand entry features creamy marble floors with a dramatic starburst inlay, distressed faux-finished walls for a tea-stained affect, cobbled stacked stone accents and a large wrought-iron chandelier that glistens with crystals. The accessories are kept minimal to balance the grandeur of the architecture. Flanked built-in side tables are adorned with scaled-down pieces, while a soft oriental rug softens the area.

he foyer is symmetrically styled with dual hallways that lead to different areas of the home. As if touring an art gallery in Italy, the space is open, bright and elegant with curved walls, high ceilings and rich marble floors. A centralized walk-through space is once again kept open and features a scaleddown version of the foyer with its decorative starburst inlay and wrought-iron and crystal chandelier. To keep with the gallery feel, two large arch-top niches glow with puck lighting to highlight the decorative accessories. The classic Tuscan niches are painted in dual tones to contrast against the walls and make their first appearance in the stately entry and reappear throughout. A fully customized powder bath is rich and romantic with deep plum curved walls that are given a Tuscan twist with rustic beams. A curved top, stone-framed mirror hangs above the custom cabinet with vessel sink. Dual sconces provide an intimate glow, which perfectly complements the feel of the room.

t the end of the gallery-style hall is a statement wall with a centered niche that displays a personal portrait. Additional sconces, marble floors and accent lighting complete the sprawling elegance. The main floor great room is befitting its name. With sky-high ceilings and sturdy wood beams with wrought-iron brackets, the taste of Italy is ever present. An octagon-shaped window seating area is sectioned off with a complementing triple-tiered ceiling. A corner fireplace makes an equally heightened statement with its contrasting white custom arch-top niche with mirror and fireplace below. A wall of custom knotty alder built-ins features a large television and provides plenty of space for display and storage. Hand-scraped wood floors blend with the cabinets and rustic beams, while the layers of rich chocolate leather and jacquard fabrics lend color and texture in the furniture. To add a touch of whimsy, bold statement pieces in aqua blue break away from the classic Tuscan trend. Meanwhile, a corner cappuccino station provides a great space for entertaining and testing out barista skills. The corner custom bar with a dual-tiered granite countertop melts into the stone columns and statement wall complete with recessed niche. Bringing in the elegance from the foyer, a coordinating chandelier dangles above and adds light to the functional area.

A pass-through formal dining area is perfect for entertaining and monitoring a smooth flow within the open space. As the hand-scraped maple floors continue, the distressed walls are dressed up with classic Tuscan art and stay bright with a wall of windows overlooking an expansive backyard. A large wood dining room table anchors the area and is surrounded by traditional high-back dual fabric upholstered chairs. Taking another design turn, a distressed painted-wood side table in bright aqua adds a bit of flare to the neutral-toned richness.

As the dining space leads into the large kitchen, an array of wood tones, smooth granite, wrought iron and dry stacked stones provide a melodious marvel. Two large islands have distinct purposes. The first features barstools and a dual-tiered granite countertop, perfect for conversation and casual dining. For additional countertop space to prepare and serve food, the second island remains utilitarian with an elongated sink and granite countertop in tones of chocolate brown, caramel and vanilla. Smooth marble floors perfectly contrast the cobblestone backsplash and accents. A small serving bar houses plates and wine glasses and leads into a quaint hearth room. Defined by a stately stone arched entry, the cozy spot is perfect for gazing out the large span of windows overlooking the parklike backyard. A patio door provides easy access to the wraparound deck, which leads to the lower patio. The area is finished off with an angled wall of stacked stone that includes a black wrought-iron fireplace and wood mantle. A convertible game table is all that’s needed for entertaining guests. And what Tuscan home would be complete without a wine room? Dual angled walls feature classic stone arch-top doors with a wrought-iron grate in an ivy design. While one leads to a walk-in pantry that is kept semi-private with tempered glass, the other remains open to display the bottles of wine that fill the walls.

A walk-in bay window allows for additional seating and provides direct access to the master suite’s private deck. A grand fireplace is topped off with a wood mantle and arch-top niche. Rich wood furniture coordinates with the dark beams and is given a touch of elegance with dual hanging crystal pendants. The master bath feels like a luxurious step back in time.

Steps: 1.

Paint both sides of doily using craft paint. Metallic autumn colors will blend nicely without needing to follow any kind of a set pattern.

2. Fold doily off-center by about an inch, giving the look of two layers. 3. Up close the sharp tip on the scale of a pinecone looks a lot like a bird beak. Lay the pinecone its side with the wide end as the chest of the turkey and slide the folded doily between the scales near the narrow end. It should fit snugly with no need to glue.

Autumn Haze Tackling Seasonal Allergy and Sinus Symptoms By Jennifer Dumke

I

t might be one of the most anticipated and beautiful seasons of the year: vibrant hues of harvest foliage and the onset of the holiday season. However, for sinus suffers, autumn is pretty black and white: sneezing, watery eyes and a stuffy nose. This makes for a not-sopretty time when most people should be enjoying themselves. The good news for sinus suffers is that there are identified triggers and trained specialists who can develop personalized treatment plans.

Autumn Allergies


Dr. Todd, MD, FACS, has extensive experience working with allergy and sinus patients at Midwest, Ear, Nose & Throat. “Along with the symptoms brought about from seasonal plants, the drop in temperature produces mold and indoor allergens,” Dr. Todd says. He adds that the main offenders are dust mites, pet dander and indoor molds. The best course of action is to start out simple. Dr. Todd begins with a treatment plan of saline rinses and nasal steroid sprays, which are available over the counter. It’s advised to take these as directed and continue use for at least two months. “It’s critical that the steroid spray be used daily as it works on the long-term mediators of inflammation,” Dr. Todd says. “So what helps today is actually what was sprayed a couple of days ago.” And for stuffed-up patients, he suggests starting with a standard decongestant taken for at least two days. For more problematic cases, patients may suffer from itchy, watery eyes, sneezing and congestion. Dr. Todd stresses that these symptoms must be treated differently or they can become more problematic. For these types of situations, allergy testing is a good idea. “Skin and allergy testing is the gold standard for treatment and can be scheduled within a reasonable time frame.” However, he points out that patients must be off any antihistamines for at least a week for the testing to be accurate.

Once the trigger is identified, a plan can be formulated. “Some indoor allergens such as pet dander, dust mites and mold can be avoided, therefore providing immediate relief,” he says. When combined with proper medications, the avoidance measures may be enough to control symptoms. “Allergy shots are often beneficial and can potentially be curative.” He adds that steroid bursts can also be used when allergies are very high.

But what happens when testing is negative? Unfortunately, temperature and humidity changes can trigger nasal and sinus symptoms despite test results. “If allergy tests don’t properly identify triggers and the patient still suffers symptoms, the focus returns to topical therapies,” Dr. Todd says. “The last resort is always surgery, which has significant benefits.” So whether stepping outside for a brisk walk or preparing to host a festive dinner, a drop in temperature doesn’t have to cool your plans for enjoying the season. Simply follow these easy steps for good sinus health.

What Causes Fall Allergies? Ragweed is the biggest allergy trigger in the fall. Though it usually starts to release pollen with cool nights and warm days in August, it can last into September and October. About 75% of people allergic to spring plants also have reactions to ragweed. For some people who are allergic to ragweed, certain fruits and vegetables, including bananas, melon, and zucchini, can also cause symptoms. Mold is another fall trigger. You may think of mold growing in your basement or bathroom -damp areas in the house- but mold spores also love wet spots outside. Piles of damp leaves are ideal breeding grounds for mold. Dust Mites. While they’re common during the humid summer months, they can get stirred into the air the first time you turn on your heat in the fall. They can trigger sneezes, wheezes, and runny noses.

Owning Your Health Make Informed Decisions About Breast Health

E

veryone knows the adage, “Knowledge is power,” and never has that been more true than when it comes to a woman’s breast health.

“We advocate for breast awareness,” explains Jesse Dirksen, MD, a breast surgeon at Edith Sanford Breast Specialty Clinic. “It is so important to not only know your family history, but also what your breasts look like and feel like. When you are aware of what is normal, then you can identify when something changes.” One woman who is taking control of her breast health is Michelle Miller of Sioux Falls. Even though she is newly 40—the recommended age for beginning yearly mammograms, Michelle has been aware of the importance of breast health for years.

Don’t let time run out.

This may be your only chance to enroll in an individual or family health insurance plan you need for 2017. Open enrollment is Nov. 1, 2016 – Jan. 31, 2017. Call us today, and we can help you find a plan.

“About five years ago, I noticed a lump,” Michelle recalls. “I went in and had to have a 3D mammogram and an ultrasound. Thankfully, it was nothing, but I was told that I had dense breast tissue and a number of benign cysts in my breasts as well. Those two things make it so hard for a normal mammogram to see what’s really happening in there. Plus, the cysts make it difficult for me to feel for any lumps on my own.” Michelle knew she would have to be vigilant in her care, so when another spot was found this year on her annual mammogram, she made an appointment with Dr. Dirksen.

“The spot, thankfully, turned out to be nothing again,” Michelle says. “But I wanted to have a little more knowledge and control over my future care.” When a woman comes to the clinic, she meets with a breast health care provider and a genetic counselor. She receives a physical exam and can ask any questions she might have concerning her breast health. The genetic counselor can then walk through her family history and help her decide whether genetic testing could be beneficial.

“The average woman has about a 12 percent risk of developing breast cancer,” Dr. Dirksen says. “But if she falls into that high-risk category of 20 percent, then we can start coming up with a specialized plan that would fit her needs.” Her family history and health put Michelle in the average-risk range, but because of her dense breast tissue, together, she and Dr. Dirksen came up with a plan that works for her. “We decided to do alternating 3D mammograms and breast MRIs every six months,” Michelle says. “Dr. Dirksen was great to work with, helping me weigh my options and walking me through everything. And being proactive in this area of your life is so important. I want to encourage all women to own their health. Talk to other women, share your experiences and don’t let fear or anxiety hold you back from doing what’s best for you.” The Edith Sanford Breast Specialty Clinic is open to all women, no matter their risk. It is located at the Sanford Health Main Campus in Sioux Falls.

Restore Your Gynecologic Health Clinic Offers MonaLisa Touch Laser Treatment By Chellee Nemec • Photos by Maggie Sweets Photography

M

any women going through menopause feel comfortable talking with their doctor about common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness and forgetfulness. However, they are less likely to mention vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse or lowered self-esteem. These women often suffer in silence with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) brought on by decreasing levels of estrogen. In addition, women who are breast cancer survivors can experience early menopause—called medical or induced menopause—caused by cancer treatments. There are more than 2.8 million women in the United States with a history of breast cancer, breastcancer.org estimates.

Gynecologic Health


Dr. Mary Meierhenry of Independent Women’s Care in Sioux Falls says these women don’t have to live with vaginal pain and they should be able to talk with their doctor about possible solutions.

Nobody Does “I Do.” Like We Do.

Treatments for vaginal discomfort have included over-thecounter water- or silicone-based lubricants, or prescription lowdose estrogen creams or tablets. But recently, Dr. Meierhenry began offering MonaLisa Touch, a laser treatment that stimulates blood flow and collagen production within the vaginal walls. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the technology for gynecologic use in 2014. Dr. Meierhenry is the first doctor in the region to offer the treatment, which she calls a “real breakthrough for feminine health.”

From Beginner to Expert -

By 2025, the number of postmenopausal women worldwide is expected to rise to 1.1 billion, the North American Menopause Society reports. In addition, the International Society for Sexual Medicine estimates that about half of postmenopausal women are affected by GSM, the symptoms of which include burning and irritation of reproductive organs; dryness, discomfort, or pain with intercourse; and urinary urgency, painful urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections.

We’ve got everything you need in Quilting!

Offering These Products & Services

When the number of GSM sufferers is combined with the number of breast cancer survivors possibly experiencing medical menopause, a large section of the population is affected by an array of gynecologic health issues.

• Juki and Pfaff Sewing Machines and Longarms • Qnique Midarms

Dr. Meierhenry shares, “MonaLisa Touch utilizes the body’s natural healing process to restore the vagina to its original state. The procedure is virtually pain free and only takes a few minutes. There are very little to no side effects with the procedure and women can return to normal activity the same day.”

• Studio Furniture

• Longarm Services

• Sewing Machine Repair and Service

She recommends three treatments over the course of 18 weeks for the best results. She adds: “What excites me most about this procedure is that I can now offer all women—especially breast cancer survivors—a treatment option that utilizes the body’s natural healing process without having to take any hormonal medication.” Contact Independent Women’s Care at 605-271-2200 for more information.

Testing Alternative Lab Checks Hormone Levels Using Saliva Test By Natalie Slieter • Photos by Nancy Tesdall

A

s manager of Any Lab Test Now in Sioux Falls, Annie Kruse says it’s evident more people are searching for health solutions on their own.

Besides offering paternity tests, the clinic has seen an increase in the number of hormone tests performed in the past couple years, Kruse says. Hormone tests measure the level of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol and DHEA in a person’s body. Thyroid and adrenal hormones can also be evaluated. Kruse says most people come to the clinic to find answers to their health problems and to find an alternative to traditional medicine.

Hormone Testing


“We hear a lot of ‘they want to put me on more medication,’ or ‘they checked the basic blood tests and everything’s okay,’” but the patient still doesn’t feel well, Kruse says.

Your Independent Ideal Protein Distributor!

Patients receive a take-home hormone testing kit to collect their saliva four times during a 24-hours period. The clinic then sends the kit to a lab, which returns results in seven to 10 days. The results are owned by the patient and are not part of their medical record.

Take The Weight Off and Keep it Off!

“They’re able to take their results and go back to their doctor and say, ‘This is what is going on. Now what can we do about it?’” Kruse says.

• Personal One-on-One TRAINED & Certified Ideal Protein Coaches • Physician On Staff • Metabolic Testing

Some doctor’s might not be able to offer hormone testing, which is why people choose Any Lab Test Now, Kruse says. She says saliva tests are better than blood tests because saliva tests offer a better idea of what the body is using throughout the day versus a blood test taken only once. With an accuracy of 92-96 percent, saliva testing is more accurate than blood testing. Kruse says most Any Lab Test Now patients are women, but some men also choose to do hormone tests. Some patients struggle with symptoms such as tiredness, lack of energy, hair loss and weight management. The hormone tests cost $179-$369. Kruse says if a doctor refers the patient to the clinic, they can receive a 20 percent discount. However, patients do not need a referral to get their hormones tested.

“One of the big things that opened my eyes over here is how much people are taking their health care into their own hands,” Kruse says. “They’re doing the investigation on their own.”

Wholeness

Kruse says hormone testing is important because so many systems in the body can suffer if hormones are not in balance. “Once people find this testing and find a solution to fix it, they feel better. They have more energy,” Kruse says. “It’s almost a relief for them knowing it’s fixable and they don’t have to feel like that all the time.”

How often should I test my hormones?

Specializing in:

If you are following a treatment program to balance your hormones and are using hormone supplementation, it is a good idea to retest in three to six month intervals for purposes of monitoring. This allows you or your health care professional to track your progress (or lack of) and to make necessary adjustments in the dosage of hormone therapy for optimal results. If you are still experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance, or if they re-appear, you should retest in three to six month intervals. Once your hormone levels are balanced, testing your hormones once a year will be adequate.

In Sync Group Fitness Classes Grow in Popularity By Stacey Kracht • Photos by Maggie Sweets Photography

M

ore and more, group fitness classes are becoming a popular option for working out. Most local fitness centers offer a variety of classes for everyone—no matter participants’ fitness level or specific interests. Nick Ovenden, who oversees Fitness Operations at GreatLIFE, gives a look at some group offerings. Yoga Yoga is universally popular among men and women, and Ovenden has even seen more children try this fitness option. Different types of yoga include hot yoga, restorative hot yoga, and restorative yoga, as well as more traditional yoga classes. Yoga is a meditative fitness option that works to connect mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is unique in that it incorporates physical characteristics such as control over breathing and specific body stances with relaxation and spiritual balance.

American dance. Zumba has become very popular as it provides a variety of moves and is fast-paced.

Zumba “Zumba appeals more to females, but we see both men and women utilizing these classes,” Ovenden says. Zumba is a series of aerobic exercises based on moves that come from Latin

Water Aerobics Water aerobics classes are for men and women. “It’s a good workout for anyone, but especially those who need more lowimpact training, as it takes stress off joints.”

Group Fitness Classes


Strength Circuit The strength circuit incorporates body weight training with dumbbells while increasing a participant’s heart rate. It is a great cardio option that still offers a bit of strength training—without anything too heavy. “You’re basically (working on) two things at once,” Ovenden explains.

A novel laser therapy that helps restore gynecologic health by generating new collagen, elastin and vascularization. MonaLisa Touch® is ideal for anyone that has vaginal atrophy. Common causes of vaginal atrophy are chronic infections, painful intercourse, scarring from traumatic birth, breast feeding, prolonged use of birth control pills, and ageing.

RealRyder This group class is very popular. “The difference b e t w e e n RealRyder and a traditional spin bike is that they swivel with movement, allowing the rider to move with the bike.” The bikes are not stationary like most spin bikes. The RealRyder class is great way to work on balance and stability—a core workout as well as cardio. “It cuts down the sheer force on joints since the bike moves with your body,” Ovenden says.

Specialty Classes A few specialty classes are also available at certain fitness centers. Examples at GreatLIFE include Quit Fit and Boot Camp. Quick Fit is a high-intensity, 30-minute workout. It incorporates body weight movements and more functional training. There is often an additional fee for specialty classes because a personal trainer rather than a group trainer teaches them. Boot Camp is a 45-minute, eight-week class. It is a structured workout with preand post-testing, and participants go through progressions to prepare for events as a group.

Tech Tool Leading-Edge 3-D Imaging Puts Patients & Surgeons on Same Page

E

very woman—and many men, one would guess— knows that words can fail, especially when it comes to describing something we don’t like. It’s especially true when we know we don’t like something, but can’t explain exactly why.

could change the appearance of their own face or body, Avera Medical Group plastic surgeons Barry Martin, MD, and Mark Shashikant, MD, turn to the Vectra XT 3-D Imaging System.

This sensation is mildly irritating when we’re choosing a new bathroom design or remodeling a bedroom. But when it comes to personal appearance and the desire to change it, not having the words to explain what you mean can be downright frustrating.

“In the past, a patient may have taken her own photos, or maybe struggled to explain what she didn’t like about, for example, her nose,” Martin said. “This technology translates this desire with complete accuracy. There’s no guessing. We can go over the images sitting side by side and be on the exact same page, long before we schedule surgery.”

makes a huge difference. A simple 10-minute Vectra session takes place as their consultation begins. Shashikant said the real-time response to the photos is crucial for him, his team and the patient. “There are many times when patients will see something in the Vectra images that they didn’t see in the mirror, and when we are sitting next to them, we can show them a variety of options, making the changes while they watch,” he said. “Vectra isn’t just vivid images. It provides us with a complete map, including measurements and landmarks, thus saving time in the operating room and making our pre-op planning that much better and effective.” Martin said the confidence the images provide patients is amazing. Vectra isn’t just for cosmetic approaches, either. It can provide imaging for any body part and can help him and Shashikant explain multistage reconstruction approaches as well. “We can provide the visual information that makes patients truly know we are both on the same page, and they love that,” he said. “It makes us more efficient and can reduce the number of preoperative visits they need to make. Dr. Shashikant and I both can be certain—in our minds—as to what they want from the operation.” Vectra imaging is included at no additional cost as part of any plastic or reconstructive consultation at Avera Medical Group Plastic Surgery, located in the Avera 69th and Cliff clinic. Shashikant said its accuracy makes a big difference in the special area of surgery where he and Martin work. “A millimeter is a tiny measurement, but one millimeter in visual results—in the work we do—is huge,” he said. “The Vectra technology allows us to work in fractions of millimeters, thus making our work as accurate as possible, whether the work is cosmetic, reconstructive or a combination of the two.” For more information on The Vectra XT 3-D imaging system call 605-322-4130.

Combat Pilots

Valerie VanDeRostyne & Shanon Davis South Dakota Air National Guard’s First Female F-16 Combat Pilots Story and Photos By Margaret Pennock

F

lying a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet faster than the speed of sound and maxing out at 1,500 miles an hour isn’t for everyone. In fact, it’s an exceptionally competitive and coveted position that very few people achieve. For the F-16 positions at the South Dakota Air National Guard 114th Fighter Wing, more than 100 applicants applied, 10 were interviewed, four were selected and only three completed training. For two Sioux Falls women, not only did their ability and expertise as pilots garner them the opportunity to train for this duty, their tenacity, confidence and nerves of steel assured them of their positions. Capts. Valerie VanDeRostyne and Shanon Davis are making history as the first female pilots for the South Dakota Air National Guard’s Fighting Lobos. Because the top leadership position at the fighter wing requires the commander to be a pilot, they’re also making it possible that a woman could serve in that position for the first time. Their achievement opens doors for all upcoming female airmen, which has their colleagues excited and proud. Shanon and Valerie have been intensely training for four years, primarily side by side with their active-duty counterparts. The past two years of their training has been considered “seasoning,” which consists of flying eight times a month to sharpen their skills and further their confidence in the air.

Shanon Davis Growing up in West Des Moines, Iowa, Shanon’s family life was anything but typical. Her parents, Dean and Elizabeth, are prior Air Force pilots and currently work as commercial airline pilots. Because of their demanding professions, Shanon’s grandmother Susan lived with the family, helping raise her and her younger brother, Devin. Always interested in math and science, Shanon is a self-professed nerd and served as captain of the Science Bowl team her senior year in high school. In addition, she’s also an avid golfer, even good enough in high school to be picked up on scholarship to play NCAA Division I golf for the University of Northern Iowa.

Just 27 years old, Shanon has an undergraduate degree in physics and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Ohio State University. “My engineering degree stemmed from the concept that if something happened and I was unable to fly airplanes, then at least I would be able to design them.” In addition, she is a small business owner operating Baron Properties with a partner out of Iowa. “We purchase, renovate and rent houses in rural towns. It takes a lot of hard work, and some days my co-workers hear me proclaim ‘never own a small business!’ but other days it is very fulfilling.”

However, as much as she enjoyed the academic side, the love of flying has been in her blood since as long as she can remember and wasn’t something she was willing to give up. Because her scholarship covered her school expenses, her parents gave her the money to take flying lessons and ultimately earn her pilot’s license. The fact that she is continuing a family tradition is important to her. “There’s a long history of aviation in my family. I’m a third-generation fighter pilot. My paternal grandpa flew F-102s and 106s in the Air Force and my dad was a T-38 instructor pilot in the Air Force and an A-7 and F-16 pilot in the Iowa Air National Guard. My maternal grandfather was an Air Force mechanic and my mother flew KC-135s in the Air Force. So I’m also a secondgeneration female military pilot. Basically, I was surrounded by people who had a love of flying my entire life.”

In her off time, Shanon enjoys riding horses with her mother, renovation projects, playing in a golf league as well as a dart league when the weather turns cold. “I love being outdoors, camping, fishing, boating, biking and hiking. I’m big into gardening. It’s amazing what you can grow in South Dakota even when you are gone all the time!” When it comes to her future, Shanon has dreams but is keeping her options open. “I absolutely want to have a family. I can’t wait to have a family, but what I do takes significant consideration, so when I make that decision, it will change what I do. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be an F-16 pilot, but at some point I want to design airplanes. I’ve spent my whole life keeping doors open. Maybe I’ll become an astronaut or a test pilot!”

Cover Story



Valerie VanDeRostyne A native of Parker, South Dakota, Valerie has always loved flying. Growing up the eldest of four children to parents Jim and Janet, tackling jobs that required grit has always been the norm. Valerie’s father owned and operated a construction business and she frequently helped him. “I was taught to work very early on and that’s what kept us busy.” Valerie enlisted in the South Dakota Air National Guard at just 18 to help pay for school. “I always wanted to fly. I didn’t have any family members that flew, but it was something that I wanted to do.” After attaining her aviation degree from South Dakota State University, Valerie decided to put her hat in for the F-16 position. “I graduated college in May 2011, but I had interviewed for this job in April 2011. What helped me get it was being an enlisted member of the unit for five years. Having flight time also helped because it’s pretty challenging to get in.”

Hardly a homebody, Valerie prefers to travel and explore the world. When she is home, she shares it with her Goldendoodle, Sunny. “My parents take care of my dog when I’m gone, but they like to. Sunny is very good company. He just loves you unconditionally and follows you right where you go.” She also loves being outdoors, shooting shotguns, pistols and canoeing. “I hope to deploy in my career. That’s why I wanted to do this in the first place. I went to South Korea last summer, but I want an actual combat deployment. I want to fly for a major commercial airline as well. I love traveling and flying, so if that is my job, it’s even better.” Valerie’s siblings, Daniel, Samantha and Kristen, all followed her into the 114th Fighter Wing. Her two sisters are currently serving with her. “I’m 28 and I’ve been flying since 2012. I love this. I have 10 years in the Guard now and if I only want to stay 20, I’m halfway there. But I don’t think I will be limited to 20 as long as my neck and back hold out.” Flying as an F-16 pilot is not easy on the body. “Our helmet weighs six pounds and our aircraft is capable of pulling nine G’s. When we’re flying we have to look around 360 degrees to ensure there isn’t an enemy behind our wingman. Our necks are constantly turning and when you’re pulling G’s that adds to the pressure on your neck and vertebrae, but I love it. It’s natural for me.” In addition to flying, Valerie volunteers with her sisters at Horsepower, an organization that provides equestrian programs and therapies for individuals with physical, emotional or cognitive challenges. “I grew up with horses. Now that I’m older, it’s a good way to give back to the community and do something I enjoy. It’s really rewarding.”

A Long Path To Wellness Liz Goodman Found a Multipronged Approach that Eases Bladder Disease

L

iz Goodman began having pelvic pain when she was 13.

As a result, she explains that her disease went misdiagnosed in those hormone-infused early years as being related to her menstrual cycle. “That definitely stymied efforts to diagnose it,” shares Liz, who today works as an LPN at the ReBalance Center in Sioux Falls and operates The Lily Pad, a social media business. “My journey to wellness has been a long one.” The pain intensified during her cycle, but she experienced it at other times too, she says. Other symptoms included extreme fatigue, and urinary frequency and urgency. Her diagnosis finally came after several trips to the emergency room because of the intense pain. A cystoscopy, which examines the lining of the bladder, showed Liz has interstitial cystitis (IC), also called painful bladder syndrome.

“For 17 years, I have dealt with this disease and tried different things that doctors have prescribed. This is the first time that I have found any real relief from it.”

The chronic disease affects millions of people nationwide, according to the Interstitial Cystitis Association, and – as Liz found on her medical journey – there is no cure. The disease is managed with medication and various therapies, such as nerve stimulation, bladder distention, or instilling medication into the bladder, according to Mayoclinic.org.

For many years, Liz tried different treatments and medications. “Nothing is more dehumanizing than spending your life sitting on a cold examination table in a doctor’s office,” she says. Today, she shares that she has had the most success managing her disease with a multipronged treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes, supplements and wellness therapies.

She also takes the supplements KappArest and Sculacia to reduce inflammation in her body. Some recommended lifestyle changes include: • Reducing stress • Wearing loose clothing

“For 17 years, I have dealt with this disease and tried different things that doctors have prescribed,” Liz says. “This is the first time that I have found any real relief from it.” Nicole Muilenburg, an RN and owner of the ReBalance Center, says, “The body is designed to be well. When we see someone experiencing the symptoms that Liz has, I am grateful to have nutritional, detoxification, and rejuvenation therapies that support the body’s innate ability to heal. The ReBalance Center exists out of my own journey to wellness and a gained understanding that we all experience health challenges. I am grateful to offer something for everyone to live their best life.” The regimen for Liz involves IV Nutritional Therapy to give her body direct access to the nutrients and pain-relieving solutions it needs, and Photon Genius and Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, both of which help her body release toxins.

• Exercising • Avoiding caffeine September was Interstitial Cystitis Awareness Month and Liz and the ReBalance Center put the focus on IC. “We have been reaching out to IC patients, trying to help guide other people in their journey.” With no cure for IC, it’s all about “moving in the right direction,” Liz says. “I am thankful everyday that my quality of life has improved and I finally find myself on a journey to wellness.” For more information, visit the Interstitial Cystitis Association online at ichelp.org or call the ReBalance Center at 605-275-0001.

Amber Mauricio One Woman’s Journey with The Compass Center as Her Guide By Jill Funke • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

“It’s humbling to need these types of services, but I want people to know there are wonderful programs out there to help them.” – Amber Mauricio

A

mber Mauricio knows how quickly life can change. In 2011, she left her husband and found herself with few resources on which to survive.

When she separated from her husband, the stay-at-home mother of five went from a substantial family income one day to having not much more than a few dollars in her pocket the next. Her challenges were just beginning as she found herself in a new world of legal fees and aggressive attorneys. Straining to balance an entry-level job, taking care of her children and staying on top of her divorce and other legal proceedings, she learned about The Compass Center in Sioux Falls. From the moment she first walked through the door, Compass Center staff had a very positive impact on her, Amber says.

At the start, she barely was able to function because of her anxiety. Yet, as she continued weekly meetings with her counselor, she was made aware of the various resources available to her. The free counseling for herself and her children was extremely helpful, and she was empowered with better ways to cope with her stressors, which reinforced the progress she was making at rebuilding her self-confidence and self-esteem. “While I was in high school, I had a healthy inner strength and was excited about my bright future,” Amber says. “After my divorce, I pulled out my high school letters and student accolades to remind myself how strong I used to be.” Slowly, she built herself back up and continued to work with Compass Center staff. While there were plenty of setbacks and difficult situations, she found refuge at home. “Many days were hard, but I’d always come home to a peaceful house where I no longer feared any abuse,” Amber says. Along the way, she thought about how she had always wanted to sell real estate, so she studied hard and passed the necessary tests to become a realtor. Today, she is finally in a stable financial position so she can withstand the months when child support is delayed or doesn’t arrive. Looking back at the personal growth she has experienced over the past five years, Amber is grateful to The Compass Center and has become an advocate for the organization. “It’s humbling to need these types of services, but I want people to know there are wonderful programs out there to help them,” she says.

barre3 Balance Your Body, Find Your Tribe, Improve Your Life Story and Photos by Margaret Pennock

T

he quest to become more healthy and physically fit means different things to almost everyone. And while stepping on the scale and seeing your perfect number or building the endurance to run a marathon are how some may make that determination. The goal at barre3 is to find health through exercise classes, nourishment with whole foods, and connection with a group of people who support one another. New to Sioux Falls, barre3 mixes athleticism, grace, and the latest innovations designed to balance the body. Inspired by ballet barre, yoga, and Pilates, the instructors guide you through a specific sequence of movements that tone and lengthen all major muscle groups, rev your heart rate, and strengthen your body. According to Barre3 owner Kennen Barber-Ensz, “Barre3 is a place where the staff, instructors, and other clients know your name and are interested in your journey. Here, you will find support for your health goals as well as your everyday life happenings. You’ll get fit, feel good, and lead a happier, healthier, more balanced life.” Not just another gym, barre3 is the only barre-exclusive studio in the area, and it is unique in that anyone can do barre3. Kennen notes, “Our instructors are trained to give modifications for every single posture in class, so everyone can have a successful workout. Professional athletes, like NBA star Kent Bazemore, are challenged by barre3’s classes, but we also have complete beginners who find their personal edge and grow stronger from there. Our mantra at barre3 is ‘make it your own,’ and we truly believe that although we build strong bodies, we more importantly build wise, balanced bodies.” Members can also access a robust website that offers online workouts, recipes, a magazine and even shopping. Barre3 also offers childcare during select class times. Kennen says, “We want to make it easier for parents to get a workout in, and knowing

Salon Utility with Gallery Style NV Studio By Thea Miller Ryan Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

J

ulia Collins lived elsewhere for 30 years. When she finally came back for her high school class reunion, she knew it was time to move her family home to Sioux Falls. So, in 2011, she came back after time in Virginia and Pennsylvania with her husband, two children, a business/salon background, a degree in Natural Health and a love of art.

She found the space on the ground floor of the Boyce-Greeley building on the corner of 11th Street and Phillips Avenue ideal for a single chair hair salon. The original wood floors, high ceiling and ample wall space made it the perfect place to open NV Studio—a hair salon and art gallery. It might seem an odd combination, but artists have loaded the small space with more than 40 pieces of original art, making the view from the styling chair the most cultured and original in town. All of the products Julia uses in her salon are natural, safe and clean, promoting natural health. And the artwork adds to a healing and visual experience. Artists with work on display at the studio include potter Andrew Billion, jewelry maker Genevieve Echols, stained-glass artist Lori Ann Hallstrom, and painters Sharon Welch, Donald Montileaux, Nancyjane Huehl, Donald Brewer Wakpa, Denton Fast Whirlwind and Blair Wegener.

Art Galleries

The downtown location was the best choice for her business, Julia says. At first, people walked up 11th Street from Phillips only as far as Mama’s Ladas, but now with MacKenzie River Pizza open, people are walking the length of the block. They’re tempted to linger at the flower boxes outside her salon, and they’re drawn inside by the span of bright, fresh art they can see through the windows.
