oing your Christmas shopping in July? If so, put the 1948 Trading Company in Brandon on your list of shopping destinations.

From frames and floral arrangements to candles and coffee, this unique store offers something for everyone.

Owners Steve and Diane Thompson opened the 1948 Trading Company eight years ago, as a way to explore Steve’s interest in custom framing. Now, in a new location at 1324 E. Cedar Street in Brandon, the store features picture framing plus other rooms filled with unique, eclectic home décor items and specialty gifts.

It is obvious Steve takes his work seriously, with a wide array of framing and matting options for those looking to enhance a work of art or preserve a family memory. He believes in paying attention to all the little details that will provide a high quality product at a reasonable price.

Several shelves of mouth-watering sweets await customers in the framing area – like Jelly Belly jelly beans you can pick by the pound.

If eye candy is more your style, the store offers a room-full of jewelry from silver and gold to beaded and art glass styles.

Diane recently returned from market with many new items to add to the collection. And, all of the jewelry at 1948 Trading Company is lead free and nickel free.

The 1948 Trading Company is also bringing in some unique items that kids will love for birthdays or other gifts. “We are

“We find that our store continues to evolve and takes on our customers’ personality. I think we are one of those specialty shops that people just search for.”

Your nose will lead you to the Primal Elements handmade soaps “by the inch” that are individually cut there in the store.

Made with a vegetable glycerin to moisturize the skin, shoppers can choose from scents such as Raspberry Mocha, Tahitian Vanilla and even Cinnabun.

Wine aficionados will love the store’s handcrafted art glass bottle stoppers, wine glass charms, stylish display racks for wine bottles and glasses that can only be described as “Diva glasses” with bold designs to fit every woman’s taste.

The candle selection at 1948 Trading Company – which looks as wonderful as they smell – will help set the mood for special occasions or add a little flair to a room. You can decorate with tea lights, votives, pillars or even battery-powered wax candles for a warm glow. The Beanpod collection offers soy jar candles in a rainbow of colors and scents that are long burning, with petroleum-free wax.

If you ask the shop’s regulars for their favorite item, you will likely hear the term “K-cup” – referring to a single cup of coffee or tea made with the Keurig brand single-cup coffee and tea maker. Dozens of varieties (literally!) of coffees and teas line the shelves of the little coffee nook. Customers might already be familiar with the single cup servings of coffee now

widely available. However, in most stores, you are required to purchase 18 or 24 individual cups of the same flavor. At the 1948 Trading Company, however, customers can mix-andmatch their favorite varieties, or select some new tastes to try – to create their own personalized 24-pack sleeve. Don’t be fooled by the look of the individual cups – they are not instant coffees and teas. Each “K-cup” has a little filter inside filled with real coffee grounds or tea leaves. The filtered cup is placed into the Keurig machine, which is hooked up to purified water for even better taste, and in less than a minute, your steaming cup is ready.

The Thompsons say this has been a big hit, telling a story of one couple in particular. “The husband likes coffee, and the wife likes tea, so they can go home with 12 of each,” Diane says.

In addition to selecting your coffees and teas to take home or give as gifts, you can also enjoy your favorite warm brew there at the store – and even take your cup out to the little deck and enjoy a summer morning or afternoon chat with a friend. For an extra treat, try one of the buttery, French vanilla chocolatedipped shortbread spoons.

The Thompsons are enjoying their new location and all of the customers who are finding them. “We are a proven destination spot for people from around the country,” says Steve. “We are proud to be a locally-owned specialty shop where our customers can find unique gifts and experience fantastic customer service.”

f a picture paints a thousand words, the images from Kelli Hunt Photography speak volumes.

Looking through the online galleries at www.kellihuntphotography. com, you see photos that capture personality, environment and mood, and you get the sense that there is something different. You get the same sense when you walk through the front door of her studio in the Bridges at 57th – which is more of a bright, relaxed art gallery than a “portrait studio.”

That “something different” is exactly what Kelli Hunt wants to convey….a style she refers to as natural and modern vintage.

“Because everyone is unique, each shoot is fashioned to meet the client’s specific vision,” Kelli explains. “There are no stiff poses or forced smiles. I work with individuals and couples to capture the honest, pure emotion that erupts when life is celebrated.”

Although she just opened her storefront in March, Kelli had been exploring the possibility of a full-time photography career for several years.

“I started part-time out of my house,” says Kelli. “I was working in a different job and wondered if I could do photography

in Pictures full-time. I started doing more and more photography work and thought about opening my own business. I was anxious about venturing out on my own, but I also knew I didn’t want to get a couple of years down the road and look back saying, ‘I wish I would have…’”

Kelli says that even from her childhood, she has always been drawn to anything creative. “I just take in everything around me,” she says with a big smile. “I see textures and colors, my mind is always bouncing with new ideas and the desire to try new things. I realized that I had been blessed with a creative gift, and I knew I wanted to be able to share that gift with others.”

Engagement, wedding and senior photography are Kelli’s passion. While she books year-round, she is a one-woman shop, so she also schedules the number of clients thoughtfully so that she can ensure each client receives a one-of-a-kind experience.

That means couples and seniors need to be planning ahead as they look for a photographer. Kelli recommends starting a year to a year and a half out for wedding couples, as she is already booked for weddings for the remainder of 2010.

Kelli Hunt Photography 5015 S. Western Ave., Suite 180 in the Bridges at 57th | 605-275-4400 info@kellihuntphotography.com | www.kellihuntphotography.com For senior pictures, she encourages students to start doing some research during the winter of their junior year and book by spring. One unique feature she offers for senior pictures is the “double session,” which allows the student to select two separate days for photo shoots – increasing the number of settings (and outfit changes) for the pictures. Many choose to do two seasons, such as summer and fall, Kelli explains.

She meets with all of her clients well in advance of the shoot to get to know them and their style. “It is so important to have a personal connection,” she explains. “You spend a lot of time together during a photo shoot, and when you know the couple or know the individual, it’s easier to draw out their personality and create amazing photography.”

While Kelli prefers natural light whenever possible – taking clients out into nature or other settings – the studio is available for those rainy days that come along. She spends many Sunday afternoons driving around the Sioux Falls area looking at different places and letting her mind wander. However, Kelli says she is willing to “go anywhere” – including destination

weddings. Her work has already taken her to Jamaica this year, and she has weddings booked next year in Florida and Colorado.

Photography has changed, just like other businesses, thanks to technology. Instead of using the “old-fashioned” proof book, Kelli creates an online gallery after a photo shoot that is password-protected so clients can get on their computer at their convenience. They can even share links with family or friends for input on which photos to select.

Unique products like the photo guest book display all the photos from a couple’s engagement shoot, or a student’s senior picture shoot, with blank space on each page for guests to sign or write words of advice. The mini album is a great memento for the graduating Senior, or perhaps the Mother-of-the-Bride. Each book is custom designed, so no two are alike.

“My photography is not about me at all,” Kelli says. “It’s about sharing my gift and making people happy. Plus, I get to hang out with really cool people every day!”

Kelli Hunt is committed to capturing your special memories artistically and making them picture perfect.

Jamie & Betsi Neidlinger Home 2116 S. Phillips Avenue BY ASHLEY SANDBORN

amie and Betsi Neidlinger and their beloved golden retriever, Schooner, had scoured Phillips Avenue for years, looking for their dream home. The couple had always been particularly drawn to the well-known street in the McKennan Park area because every house appeared to be different in its own distinctive way, and it seemed like a real neighborhood in which

everyone seemed to know and like one another.

In 2002, when the Neidlingers walked into 2116 South Phillips Avenue, and saw a concrete retaining wall fountain in the backyard that trickled down into a small, serene pond, it instantly struck them that they had finally found what they were looking for. Although the home was in the midst of being taken

down to its original studs, and was four months away from completion, the couple still thought it extended an appealing invitation, for which they could not resist.

“I never thought I would find exactly what I was looking for, especially on this street,” said Betsi Neidlinger. “A friend of mine, Shawn Krull (from Rapid City) was in the process of

completely gutting this house and invited us over. I walked in and when I saw the waterfall, I immediately fell in love. I knew I had to have this house.”

From the street, the 2,600-square-foot, 1929 Spanish-style bungalow appropriately deemed “The Alamo,” looks, at first, like most any other house. But then upon closer examination,

one notices the thick, rose-colored stucco of the exterior, and the solid wood garage doors, hinting at more oldstyle ideas within. The driveway is paved with bricks and stepping up into the home, visitors are met by the wideopen courtyard inundated with an abundance of lush and bright-colored flowers, perennial plants and grasses.

The home was originally nondescript, with a bunch of tiny, dark little rooms – but it did boast a lovely view of their dream neighborhood in the front and potential for a multilayered, multi-purpose area in the back.

The first big move was to gut the house completely and start anew. The inside goal was to keep everything open and comfortable. And outside, keep the focal points surrounded around easy living and entertaining. The overall renovation took two years to complete. In late 2002, the couple finally moved into the home, which had been transformed into the ultimate in comfort, eccentricity, and sophistication during the remodel process.

“I don’t like walking into houses where it looks like nobody lives there, said Betsi. “I wanted to keep it open and unique. Nothing matches in the house and no two things are the same – lamps, bedside tables.”

“The Alamo” is filled with the trappings of a home seemingly transplanted from Santa Fe, New Mexico – aged wooden ceiling beams, alongside earth tones with splashes of bright shades intermixed. Overall, the interior is a compilation of family heirlooms, New England antiques, including a chest of drawers crafted in 1796, and art by South Dakota artists: Harry Klessen, Marian Henjum, Eyob Mergia, and Phyllis Packyard. Other clever touches include railings made entirely out of recycled plumbing pipes; wallpaper constructed from brown paper bags, and shaded interior courtyards.

The living room area hosts a sofa, two chairs, and a 1901 Steinway piano, completely rebuilt by Tim Coates of Sioux Falls. The room offers a certain degree of softness, and is a perfect gathering spot for family and friends.

An office sits off the living room where Jamie, a professor for the MBA program at The University of Phoenix, is able to work from home. To some extent, the office gives the area a sense of room division, yet still maintains openness to the rest of the home.

The kitchen is open, simple, and modest. During the renovation process, a 225-square-foot addition was built to the home that radically mixed up the order of rooms on the

Both Betsi and Jamie’s main love of the home is the ability to entertain guests, especially their grandchildren. “We entertain a lot. Both inside and out,” said Betsi. “We have 4 grandchildren, and during this past year I let everyone have their own themed birthday party. In the course of 12 months we have had a luau, a cowboy party, a formal dinner, and a Mexican fiesta. ”

The backyard hosts an abundance of tranquil noises, much like a sounds of a nature CD: chirping birds, light wind, and a babbling pond. The yard is a multi-purpose area that is broken up into three separate sections, that each have various purposes: a shaded and screened-in porch that is equipped with a grill, is perfect for hosting parties; a small meditation-type

World Cup of Wine

BY RICCARDO TARABELSI GENERAL MANAGER, Westward Ho Country Club

F

or those of you who know me at all, you know that I love soccer. From the time I could walk, my Dad had a soccer ball at my feet. Not much has changed 37 years later, except now it’s my turn to play with and coach my sons as they learn to love the “beautiful game.” This month, on July 11th, the world

will find out who the champions are for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but as I watch the games (which began on June 11th) I’m quickly realizing that the countries competing to become the world champions are already champions in the world of wine.

I know I’m going out on a limb, but in this article you will

discover who I pick to be the final 8 teams in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup as I match them up against each other based on the quality of wine production. (I am writing this before the games begin, so I hope when this is published that at least some of my predictions come trueâ&#x20AC;Ś)

Brazil

The top bracket will showcase the home team, South Africa, against the United States. While South Africa is an up-and-coming wine powerhouse, featuring some crisp Sauvignon Blancs, bold Cabernets, and unique Pinotages, it is no match for the quality and quantity of production of the U.S. The United States has

etc. for her | July 2010 37

proven time and time again that it can compete with the world’s best (please refer to the movie Bottle Shock – it’s a great wine movie!) and will continue to grow and produce highly rated wines.

Next match-up: Brazil vs. the Netherlands. This one will be a blowout. Brazil will crush the Netherlands on the pitch and in this article. Although Brazil’s wine production is limited, it does produce some great Pinot Noirs and Cabernets. Locally, try to find Miolo Winery at your favorite wine store. On the other end of the field, Holland is more known for beer (Heineken and Amstel Lite, of course) and liquor (Ketel One vodka, as well as a host of cordials made by Dekupyer) but can not compete in the wine world at this time. The Dutch are making wines but have a long way to go before going toe to toe with Brazil.

Argentina vs. Germany. This is going to be a great match both

on and off the field. Argentina’s flagship Malbec wines are the hottest thing on the wine market while Germany has been around the wine block for a long time, creating some of the world’s best Rieslings. For this match-up, I’m going to have to insert my own personal preference in order to determine a winner. I am a big fan of Malbec, even though three Master Sommeliers told me that the number one bottle in their wine cellar is a German Riesling, so I am going to pick Argentina. Don’t cry for me…

And lastly, another great pairing: Italy vs. Spain. Although Spain is ranked number one in the world of soccer, Italy is ranked number one in the world of wine (as the highest producer of wine in the world.) Again, if you know me at all, I was born in Florence, Italy, and have been cheering for Italy ever since I was that little toddler dribbling a soccer ball around the house. This

VINO

one is a no-brainer for me, even though Spain does produce some zesty Tempranillos and bold reserve Riojas wines, my winner is Italy. Do I even need to list the wines, starting with Brunello, Barolo, Barbaresco, and Chianti? Not to mention Pinot Grigio, Moscato, Gavi, Barbera, Aglianico, and Nero d’Avola.

Enough said, Italy wins!

So, the final four are the United States vs. Brazil and Argentina vs. Italy. I’ll make this brief and to the point… Brazil beats the U.S. (on the soccer field) and Italy defeats Argentina (both on and off.) Here I am, in black and white, predicting that the World Cup final will be between Italy and Brazil, a rematch of the 1994 World Cup which took place in the United States. In fact, my first job after graduating from college in 1994 was working for the World Cup (it was a very brief one-month job but totally worth it)

where I got to meet and greet players at Logan Airport in Boston, work the games at Foxboro Stadium, and learned Marketing 101 from some of the best promoters of the “world’s game.”

My final prediction is that Italy will repeat as World Champions (they defeated France in the 2006 World Cup in Germany) with a score of 2-1. Italy is obviously close to my heart, which makes me a little biased, but Italy has been and continues to be a leader in the wine world. Here’s another prediction: no matter who is playing on July 11th to become the world champions of soccer, I will be drinking a Brunello di Montalcino from Italy, my world champions of wine. Carpe Calcio!

Steak

BY JIM MATHIS

“A

of the Sea

sk any swordfish you happen to see, what’s the best seafood? Steak of the Sea!” Apologies to Charlie Tuna and Jessica Simpson.

I used to really look forward to Lent. Not because I want to give up chocolate or drinking or anything like that. Not my style. But the whole “fish on Fridays” part of Lent means that restaurants increase their seafood offerings and even better, the grocery stores and markets get more fresh seafood. That means more opportunities for home cooks like you and me to experiment and try new things. And for me, Lent always meant it was time to start grilling fish again, even though it was still cold outside.

But now days, stores have a decent selection of seafood all year long. And while the variety changes all the time, you can usually find some nice fresh fish for a light summer menu.

For a lot of home cooks, fish can be a little intimidating. But it doesn’t need to be. Here are a few simple ways to take the fear out of cooking fish and maybe even get those picky eaters who say they don’t like fish to try something different.

When people say they don’t like fish, it usually comes down to a few myths that need to be dispelled. First, not all fish is fishy. For our discussion, I’m going to stick to a few simple, meaty varieties that are a lot like steak—steak of the sea, if you will. Second, it’s easy to be turned off by the boney lake-dweller that your dad or uncle forced you to eat. Let’s be clear, when I talk about seafood, I mean it came from the sea, not a muddy little fishing hole. And if you’re afraid of getting a mouthful of bones, stick to the steaks of big fish. No bones to be found.

Finally, some people believe that fish needs to be fried. Trust

how will you celebrate

me; none of the meals I will discuss will resemble the fried fish sticks of your youth.

The first challenge is finding good, fresh fish, and around here it’s probably been frozen or flown in direct to your favorite store. So how do you know if it’s fresh? First, find someone you trust behind the counter and ask when they get their shipments.

Go that day. If the fish comes on Thursday, buy it Thursday. If it comes Saturday, you’re having fish for dinner Saturday night.

Then, before you buy any fish, ask to smell it. Seriously. Ask to smell it. If they won’t let you, then they have something to hide. If it smells fishy or like chemicals, say no thanks and buy a couple of nice pork chops instead.

Once you’ve found your fresh seafood, I have a few simple rules for grilling fish; 1) medium-high heat, 2) super clean grill

3) brush the grate with a little canola oil just before the meat meets the heat. Follow those rules, and it’s pretty easy. And if the fish sticks to the grill, leave it on another few seconds and it will loosen itself.

Sorry Charlie If you think tuna only comes from a little tin can, you don’t know ahi. Ahi tuna, also known as Yellowfin, is commonly available as steak from the mega-mart or your favorite butcher.

Look for it to be labeled as “sushi grade,” not that you’ll be eating the tuna raw. That phrase signifies the fish has been frozen long enough, and at a cold enough temp, to kill any parasites. What it means to you is the fish was frozen when it was fresh and since we live a long way from the Pacific Ocean

etc. for her | July 2010 43

from where these critters come, it’s as close to fresh as we can generally get.

Try to find steaks that are about an inch thick. For tuna like this, I like to keep it pretty simple; a quick splash with some canola oil, season with salt and pepper and head out to the grill.

I think tuna is best when served rare; just quickly seared over very high heat on each side. My wife, on the other hand, prefers hers medium, with just a little pink in the middle. Rare will only take a minute or two on each side; for medium, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with a little wasabi, soy or even a lemony Hollandaise sauce.

Old Man and the Sea If you’ve ever read Hemmingway’s classic tale, you will remember “brother” marlin. Here’s a way to tackle the mighty fish without a three-day life and death struggle.

Have the guy at the fish counter cut a couple of small steaks.

You’re looking for five to six ounce steaks, about an inch thick.

Season them well with fresh cracked pepper, fresh thyme and tarragon. Then completely wrap the steaks with thinly sliced prosciutto. Grill or cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. The prosciutto will get nice and crispy and keep the fish moist while adding a little bit of salt.

En Garde!

My wife’s favorite seafood is swordfish and, frankly, it’s just about the easiest fish to prepare. I’ve seasoned it a bunch of different ways and as long as it’s not overcooked, sword is a wonderful canvas for just about any flavor.

For a nice easy way to get started, try marinating swordfish steaks in Italian dressing, store-bought like Newman’s Own works great. Then grill or broil until it’s firm but still moist.

About four or five minutes per side for a one-inch steak should do it. Simple and elegant.

When you look at it, fish doesn’t need to be scary and it doesn’t need to involve bones or frying or funky smell. And you don’t have to wait until a Friday during Lent to buy it. Just keep it simple and get to know the man behind the fish counter at the store.

Celebrations

BY BRIANNA COCHRAN

I

t’s the perfect time for a summer celebration. Words that so often get tossed around (especially in this column) like green, earth-friendly and eco-conscious that don’t really sound that festive. These adjectives don’t always need to be extreme. With a little planning, your summer bash can be, I’ll say it, greener.

Gather family and friends for a party with a few added benefits for mother earth.

Start your greener party style with your 4th of July gathering. This holiday is synonymous with fireworks.

Rather than doing your own in the back yard, load up the family and head to a large fireworks display. This reduces garbage and also the amount of smoke, heavy metals, carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides that often end up in the air. New technology offers alternatives. Request safer fireworks at the event you attend, such as the air propelled displays Disney now uses at the Magic Kingdom. Obviously you can’t replace sparklers, but keep kids occupied with a piñata, craft projects or a firefly hunt after dark instead.

Make your party eco-fabulous by reusing and recycling while decorating. Try to use the real stuff when you can: tablecloths, napkins, cups, plates and utensils. Decorate your tables with

My favorite part: the food. For many it’s about the grill. Keep in mind that many charcoals release carbon monoxide, while propane gas grills burn cleaner. For the adventurous, check out amazon.com for solar ovens that don’t have any emissions. If this interests you, there are websites claiming you can make your own with used pizza boxes – I’m not advocating this method, but you never know.

Once you choose your method of roasting up burgers and veggies (maybe from the local farmers market), consider the sides that might have some added skin protection qualities. For an added boost to your sun block, choose menu items with the antioxidant lycopene, which can guard

skin against UV exposure. It is found in bell peppers, tomatoes (especially tomato paste) and in some nicely chilled watermelon for dessert. Serve black or green iced tea which may reduce the risk of some skin cancers. And don’t forget your leafy greens, full of antioxidants that help destroy free radicals. If a potluck can help my wrinkles naturally, I’ll gladly eat up.

Speaking of taking care of your skin, let’s consider what we slather on to avoid getting sunburn and eaten by bugs. See how your sun block rates at cosmeticdatabase.com for toxicity and sun protection. Also consider your mosquito defense. There are natural alternatives to the chemical DEET. The Meadowsweet Market sells Bug Away Extreme towelettes with an ingredient list of essential oils: geranium, soybean, cedar wood, citronella, peppermint and lemongrass. At the very least it might improve your “au naturale” scent after being in the heat all afternoon.

Other options I found at Target include All Terrain Natural Herbal

Armor, Cutters Eucalyptus Insect Repellant and Bug Band, a wrist band that is water resistant and available in glow-inthe-dark. Also try citronella candles or citronella oil mixed into lotion and applied to the skin.

This Independence Day, add a new color to the Red, White & Blue color spectrum – Green. The green spirit will be present at the 4th of July Family Parade and Picnic this year hosted

by Mayor Huether. The event will support local business, encourage recycling and provide frisbees made of recycled content as plates that can be reused for fun later on. Complete with free food and entertainment, it’s the perfect party. Check out siouxfalls.org/green for more information on the picnic and upcoming events like the combined Greenival and BioBlitz coming in August. Let “green” become an adjective that isn’t boring and lame, but a way of life even if it’s the little things we do. That’s something to celebrate.

n late May, winds blew hot and wild and practically sucked the life from fresh foliage. Early June brought relief; clouds rolled in like layers of grey tulle and covered clear satin blue.

Calm days and the rain that followed were blessed rewards for afternoons spent planting tomatoes and various seeds and dividing the perennial clumps.

Now in July, I hear voracious buzzing whenever I walk among flowers. The bees collect diverse pollen while squeezing in and out of fat penstemon tubes and, as if in orgy, roll around in mops of rose stamens. The ancient Romans could only dream of such a gorging - and that reminds me - it’s time for lunch.

Back in May, tightly wound tips of fern fronds were salad garnish. Harvesting a few of these fiddleheads from ostrich fern didn’t even phase this plant’s vigor; the foliage is now over three feet tall.

In early June, the tiny pointed, false strawberries, also known as Aztec Indian berry (Duchesnea indica), turned red-ripe, easy to find beneath the leaves, but there were never enough to assuage hunger. The fluffy, dense plant provides a pretty border or ground cover.

Last year’s ornamental kale, intended as an annual, survived the winter, and the taste and bite of its yellow flowers could

easily be mistaken for broccoli. I devoured the last of them this morning.

The firm spheres of young milkweed flowers (Asclepius syriaca) also grew al dente in June, not quite the consistency of cauliflower, which they resemble. (Do not ingest the bitter white juice of milkweed stems and leaves.) Now flowers are like a bunch of floppy tentacles and scent their space with the redolence of grandma’s powder puff.

By now, midsummer, besides the cherry tomatoes and other vegetables coming on, certain flowers provide both pretty and edible tidbits.

Annual signet marigolds (Tagetes pumila) have grown into delicate little shrublets of lacy foliage, smothered in blossoms and a delicate citrus aroma. Use them to garnish pasta, rice, or salads. Either of two selections, bright orange ‘Tangerine Gem’ or yellow ‘Lemon Gem’, is striking when planted next to purple leaf basil. Signet marigolds barely resemble the astringent, large-flowering marigold types we are more familiar with, which are not edible.

If you grow herbal sage for their scented leaves (Salvia) you can also use the flowers as garnish. One of the best is pineapple sage with fruit-scented foliage and hummingbird-magnet red flowers.

into euphoric states after eating one of the main character’s specialty dishes that was prepared with rose petals. Rose hips, the seedpods that develop after flowers, make excellent teas.

Never eat any part of any plant unless you can positively identify it and are assured of its safety. Thousands of plants contain alkaloids and other compounds, which can be poisonous or toxic in varying severity. Depending on the compound, symptoms of their contact or consumption range from rashes to diarrhea to death. Caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine are wellknown alkaloids. Some mushrooms contain them too. Green parts of potatoes are also to be avoided. (Alkaloids aren’t all bad all the time - some have physiological effects that make them useful as medicine.)

In addition, never eat a plant that has been treated with any pesticide or herbicide, and when first eating a deemed safe, though unfamiliar plant, limit intake to a small quantity.

Though not a complete list, the following common landscape plants are considered toxic. Maintain a healthy distance between them and your garden: monkshood, azalea, crocus, daffodil, foxglove, oleander, rhododendron, jack-in-the-pulpit, lily of the valley, clematis, bleeding heart, and wisteria. Also do not ingest parts of most houseplants. Find more at http://www. pioneerthinking.com/toxicg.html.

Anise Hyssop leaves have the flavor of sweet licorice.

Amaranth grains offer uncommon ornamental annuals that include love-lies-bleeding (Amaranthus caudatus) and others called dreadlocks and elephant head (A. gangetica). Amaranth flowers are the source of the grain that can be ground into flour.

(Could this be the origin of the synonyms, flower and flour?) It is the most nutritionally balanced of grains; both leaves and seed are higher in protein than corn, rice, or wheat. It was the staple crop of early Mayans and Incas and is still grown all over the world. Annual amaranth self sows in our garden when grains drop near rocks in full sun. Both fresh and dried flowers can be used in arrangements.

A favorite perennial, anise hyssop leaves have a definite sweet licorice flavor. Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ is sterile and won’t seed around. Gather the tenderest leaves from well below the territory of monarchs that crowd the terminal blue spikes.

This plant blooms for many weeks during hottest summer and is drought tolerant.

Hemerocallis or daylily buds are sweet and crunchy and also useful to garnish salads. Daylilies are NOT to be confused with true lilies (Lilium), which contain alkaloids and are NOT edible.

Rose petals have a sweet, aromatic flavor. The more intense their fragrance, the stronger their taste. They remind me of the story, Like Water For Chocolate, in which people melt

ith summer comes sunshine, outdoor activities and family vacations. We always protect ourselves from the sun with sunscreen – why shouldn’t we also protect our bones from fractures with preventative measures? As we age, our susceptibility to fractures increases due to loss of bone mass. This cannot only lead to fractures but can also give way to a harsh bone disease called osteoporosis. Of the more than 10 million people in the United States who have osteoporosis, 80% of them are women.

Throughout your lifetime, your bones grow as your body grows.

Old bone is removed from the skeleton and new bone is added.

Throughout adolescence, new bone is added faster than old bone is removed. This results in a positive bone balance and an increased bone mass.

Your bones continue to grow until about age 30, when bones reach what is called “peak bone mass,” or maximum density and strength.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Keep Your Bones Healthy After this point, bone removal begins to outpace formation of new bone leading to bone loss. The rate of bone loss is greatest in the first few years after menopause. After that, bone loss continues but more slowly.

With osteoporosis, bone loss can occur with no obvious symptoms. While your bones may not feel weaker, you may experience symptoms without realizing their association with osteoporosis. For example, a loss of height, change in posture or severe back pain may be caused by osteoporosis.

• Have a family or personal history of fractures after age 50 • Are small-boned and thin • Had early menopause before the age of 45 • Have a history of anorexia, bulimia, excessive exercise • Are a smoker or a heavy drinker • Have not consumed adequate amounts of calcium and/or have vitamin D deficiency • Have an inactive lifestyle • Take certain medications for chronic diseases including corticosteroids and chemotherapy

Risk Factors for Osteoporosis You could be at risk for osteoporosis if you: • Are a postmenopausal woman over 50 • Are Caucasian or Asian, although African-American and Hispanic women are also at risk

Screening for Bone Loss Because the symptoms are so subtle, it is important to test your bone health. Your bone health can be assessed with a simple, painless test that takes only thirty minutes. A bone

mineral density (BMD) test, also know as a densitometry (DEXA) scan, can help determine how to manage and treat your bone health. It uses special X-rays to measure the amount of calcium in the bones and determines your actual bone mass. Results can also show whether or not you have osteoporosis.

Not only is the test quick and easy – it also does not require special preparation. Patients do not even have to change into gowns. The DEXA scan passes over the body, reading bone density in different areas. Your physician can explain the results to you.

Maintaining Healthy Bones There are many ways you can decrease your risk of developing osteoporosis:

• Eat foods high in calcium • Get enough vitamin D, especially during the winter months • Exercise • Quit smoking • Limit your alcohol. If you drink alcohol, you should not drink more than two alcoholic beverages or drinks per day Early detection is important in osteoporosis. Consider your risk factors and then discuss your prevention strategy with your doctor. If you’re a woman, it’s best to do this well before menopause. Talk to your doctor today to see what measures you should start taking to prevent the deterioration of your bones.

W

hat better way to combine cooling off and having fun with friends and family than throwing a pool party? If you have access to a private pool, community pool, water park, or even some blow up kiddie pools, a pool party is a great way to have fun with your children. You can celebrate anything for an excuse to swim and soak in the sun. The key advantage to holding a pool party is the ability to keep the festivities outside, minimizing indoor clean up, not to mention the amount of fun involved in planning such a festivity.

Invitations to a pool party can be personalized to match your theme. Cut flip-flops, tropical flowers, surf boards, fish, etc., out of card stock paper and come up with a creative phrase to invite your guests to the party. Some fun ideas for invitations include a message-in-a-bottle theme, filling plastic bottles with sand and seashells half full while writing your party details on colorful pieces of paper. Roll the paper into scrolls and put them inside the bottles. Postcards of pool-related visuals such as beaches, water resorts, and oceans also make for great invitations with your party details on the back side. Another variation for invites can be blowing up beach balls and writing all of the

party information directly on them with a sharpie. Deflate and put the balls in envelopes. This will be a great surprise for the kids when they receive them. Include directions to blowing up the beach balls with the envelopes. When you invite your guests, be sure to let the parents know your intentions and become knowledgeable on each child’s swimming abilities and/or special needs. In the invitation, suggest a life jacket or floating device for those who are at a beginner level. In addition, reassure the parents that there will be a lifeguard on duty at all times. Be sure to remind the guests to bring bathing suits, towels, and sun screen.

If you decide to decorate for a pool party, you can keep it simple or go all out. Get creative with centerpieces by using Barbie and Ken in swimsuits, a summer treat such as coconut or watermelon, or balloon bouquets. Balloons also make a great decoration for in and around the pool. Tie balloons to a string and drape them around the area. Use a variety of sizes and partially fill each balloon with water, then add air. Place these balloons into the pool and they should float on the surface, with the water inside keeping them from blowing away. Create

a theme such as a beach or tropical setting. Seashells and fish nets also make fabulous decorations. Drape fishnets along the fence and attach plastic fish and sea shells. Pink flamingos are always a fun addition, as well as inflatable palm trees and sand.

Plastic pails, shovels, frisbees, and floatable toy boats are all entertaining ideas for the kids. If you have access to a surfboard or a boogie board, place it by the front door announcing the party. Posters of tropical locations hung on the side of the house or along the fence will add a special touch. And for some background noise, the Beach Boys or any island music will help keep the party going.

Plan your activities in advance. A mixture of crafts and games will go over well with a group of children. Provide guests with some empty glass jars and colored sand, with an artificial flower for each guest. Fill the jars with sand, one colored layer at a time. Insert the artificial flower and your guests will have their very own handmade party favor to take home with them. There are several pool-related games to choose from. Buy a coconut and play “Hot Coconut” as you would “Hot Potato”. Pass the coconut around in a circle from person to person quickly. When

the music stops, the person holding the coconut sits in the middle or controls the music for one round. Using a bunch of rubber ducks, have players nudge them from one end of the pool to the other using only their noses in a Rubber Duck Race.

Play the traditional Marco Polo in the shallow end part of the pool, or play Jaws where one swimmer is chosen to play the shark and the rest of the swimmers must keep away from that player or they are out until only one swimmer remains. Pair the children and have a water balloon toss, adding shaving cream to the balloons to make them more challenging to catch. Have a cannonball contest and see who can make the biggest splash.

The possibilities are endless.

Set up a big self-serve cooler filled with cold beverages, in cans or plastic bottles. Avoiding glass is a good idea. Drinks could also be served in cups with little umbrellas to add to the party atmosphere. Food that works well at a pool party includes sandwiches, goldfish crackers, cookies, popsicles, fruit, and grilled food such as hot dogs and hamburgers. Get creative with a fish-shaped cake or decorate one to look like a pool.

To top off your pool party, send your guests away with a party

PARENTING & PREGNANCY

Now is the time

to think about your student’s health

G

oing off to college often means being out of town, even out of state – not only away from home, but away from the student’s regular physician and health care clinic.

Now’s the time for college students and their parents to deal with any chronic health problems, concerns or questions, and make plans for what to do in the case of an unexpected illness or injury, said Dr. Andrea Miller, family practitioner with Avera McGreevy Clinic in Sioux Falls.

The summer is a great time to schedule a preventative care physical exam before heading to school in the fall. “Not all colleges require it, but it’s still a good idea, especially if students have any ongoing medical issues, and to make sure all medical information is updated,” Dr. Miller said.

Colleges also require that immunizations are up to date. This may include the varicella vaccine for chicken pox, hepatitis B, and meningitis, if students didn’t receive these vaccines earlier.

Meningitis is a dangerous virus marked by flu symptoms that come on quickly and severely. “The reason we vaccinate against

it is that it can cause rapid death or long-term health problems,” Dr. Miller said.

All students should have up-to-date vaccination against tetanus, and young women should consider the HPV vaccine which protects against many forms of cervical cancer.

While it’s not offered until late fall depending on supply, college students should consider getting an annual seasonal flu shot, as well as shots to protect against any special strains, such as the H1N1 epidemic in 2009. Typical flu usually isn’t life threatening to young adults. “Yet it can make you pretty miserable and cause you to be out of school for several days, putting you behind in your classes,” Dr. Miller said.

“College kids are close together in dorms, and may not have the best eating and sleeping habits. Plus, they’re under academic stress as well as social stress. This can make them more vulnerable to catch the flu or any other virus that’s out there,” Dr. Miller said.

For Kelsey Mullenix, the H1N1 strain was indeed life

etc. for her | July 2010 81

threatening. A freshman studying to become a dental hygienist, Kelsey had been on the University of South Dakota campus in Vermillion only three weeks when she came down with a cough and sore throat that quickly became worse. She was hospitalized with a 104˚ fever and labored breathing.

Kelsey also developed pneumonia, type B influenza and MRSA. To help her fight these infections, doctors placed her in a medically-induced coma. Her family experienced a few scary days as they feared she might not pull through.

Kelsey made a full recovery, went back to school for the second semester, and plans to return to USD this fall. She could not have prevented H1N1 with a vaccine, because it was not available until after she became sick. Yet Kelsey said she’s grateful to be alive and healthy, and she’s going to make some changes to help ensure she stays in good health.

“I’m definitely going to listen to my body. I had started to get run down and thought I would catch up on my sleep over the weekend, but that never happened. When I got a sore throat and cough, I told myself I’d be fine,” Kelsey said. “In the future, if I ever start to feel sick, I’m going to go to the doctor right away.

Plus, I’m going to take better care of myself.”

For students a long distance from home, it’s a good idea to plan where to go if something were to happen, and check

with the family’s insurance plan to find out what’s covered, Dr. Miller said. “Often, campus health centers offer very affordable health care, or care free of charge. Or the college can certainly make recommendations. Find out if there are after-hours urgent care locations, because an unplanned emergency room visit is expensive.”

Along with injuries and seasonal illnesses, college students should be aware of other threats to their health, such as STDs or drug and alcohol abuse. Prevention of unintended pregnancies is another consideration, as well as mental health issues such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders.

The first six to eight weeks set a tone for the rest of the semester, so it’s important for students to get involved in intramural sports, aerobics classes, volunteering or other extracurricular activities to help relieve stress and stay connected with positive activities.

“Parents are not there to actively monitor their children, but they can listen open-mindedly, set clear expectations and keep in touch to make sure they are doing well, especially in the first several weeks of the semester,” Dr. Miller said.

For more information about preventative health and other health topics, visit the Health Library at www.AveraMcKennan.org.

He has a great idea for the bike part, although high-strung Dolores is upping the ante with her paper-daisy-covered helmets for her and her cat. But the second goal has Andy stumped, until the parade is in motion and his eagle eyes catch the reason why the drum corps has suddenly thrown the marchers out of whack.

Ruth Christopherson Proud to Serve

BY JOHN NICHOLS

R

uth Christopherson is not a person to toot her own horn. Despite a 30year career in the military that saw her rise in rank from an enlisted airman to Colonel and Chief of Staff of the South Dakota Air Guard, Christopherson deflects praise with typical South Dakota modesty. “One time, a young woman in the guard told me that she looked up to me, and I told her it was only because I’m so tall.”

It’s true Christopherson is a person of stature. In addition to her military career (Christopherson retired from the Air Guard in 2008), the University of South Dakota graduate is a senior vice-president for Citibank, wife and mom to her husband Reid and their two children (Nathan and Rachael), and in her “spare time”, teaches at Colorado Technical University. “I like to do things I’m passionate about and I’m fortunate to have had so many opportunities.

With the United States celebrating its 234th birthday on July 4th, we took the opportunity to talk with Ruth about her service to our country.

What initially prompted you to join the Air Guard?

To be perfectly honest, it was a bit of a whim. My roommate and I were home from college and her mom suggested we check into the Air Guard. So we did, and it looked good and it worked well with our school schedule, so we joined and the rest is history. It turned into a 30-year whim (laughs).

NEIGHBOR

Career opportunities for women in the military at that time were somewhat limited. What was that like and how has it evolved?

The Air Force at that time was pretty progressive with regards to opportunities for women. I remember thinking then that women had come a long way, but there were things that were definitely not open to us. But fortunately things changed rapidly. I remember when I joined, I knew the names of every woman in the unit; there were about a dozen of us. Now, when I retired, it was a bit frustrating to me because I didn’t know the names of every woman in the unit - there were so many. That alone shows how things have evolved. Today, every avenue of service in the Air Force is open to women.

Did you ever experience any sort of resistance?

I never felt that. Our Air Guard was always very welcoming and encouraging. I got to be a part of a lot of firsts, but most of the time I never realized it. People had to tell me, ‘Hey did you know…’ but the fact that it never seemed like a big deal to me is a testament to the fact

that it wasn’t about being a man or a woman.

Your husband is in the military. Your son served in Iraq. You know the responsibilities and risks involved with military service, but you are also their wife and mother. How do you balance that?

When Nathan volunteered to go to Iraq, I remember being very proud of him, but as his mom, there were the normal concerns and worries. He’s a soldier, but in your mind you are sending your little boy overseas and that is obviously scary. It was difficult, but I wouldn’t have expected it to work out any other way. When you are in the military, it’s what you do. But when it’s your family, of course there’s a lot of praying involved.

What opportunities has the military provided you?

It’s amazing the people you meet and the unique experiences you have. I met my husband in the military, so that’s one thing right there.

The military also is great in building self-worth and leadership skills. At every level, you are given responsibility and chances to prove yourself.

It’s very empowering for a young person.

You’ve had a career in the military and also have been successful in the private sector. What are the cultural differences between the two?

They are similar in many respects, but in the military, there is personal respect, but there is also the authority of rank. If you are in command, and you tell your people ‘we need to do this, this, and this’ it’s probably going to get done without a lot of questions. In the business world, you can still do that, but you obviously need to build consensus a little more. I always joke that I have to get back to using my “soft” voice when I’m in the office.

How has your military career framed who you are as a person?

I think about that in the sense that what I’ve done in my life has gotten me to where I am right now. I could have done a million things differently, but if I did, I probably wouldn’t be here, and here is a pretty great place. The military played a big part in getting me to this place.

What advice would you give a young person thinking about joining the military?

You have to do it for the right reasons. Military service provides a lot of benefits including money for school, and so on, but at the root of your decision there has to be that desire to serve your country. I mentioned before that I joined on a whim, and part of that is true, but underneath that was a belief in our country and a willingness to serve.

If you have that, you will have a great experience.

What does the Fourth of July mean to you?

There’s nothing like seeing the flag flying. People from other cities always comment, ‘there are flags everywhere here’ and I jokingly tell them they are just easier to see because we don’t have a lot of tall buildings. But that love of country is very real and you really feel it on holidays like Independence Day. When I see the flag on the Fourth of July it reminds me of the greatness of our country. We celebrate not only those who serve but everyone and everything that makes our country great. To me, the flag is the fabric of a free people, and you can’t put a value on that.

arm days, thunderstorms and great sunsets are all a part of living in the Midwest in the summer. These images can keep our sanity during a sub zero night, or the knee deep mud of the spring. It also means camping, vacations, trips to the lake or just a nice evening stroll through the neighborhood.

With these relaxing activities, there are also some hazards for you to avoid. I think the most common things we see in the summer is trauma. The T word should be avoided for us and our pets at all cost. It is never good!

Dog fights are more common than collisions with cars. Dogs, by nature, are territorial beasts. They do not always want to share their owners, yards, toys or food with other dogs. Some dogs see the entire state of South Dakota as their territory, while others are happy to share everything. Take your time and never assume all is well when your pet encounters a new dog.

Monitor closely, keep both on a leash and never allow play to become physical or aggressive. If there are hackles, growling or

attack stances, separate immediately.

If a fight does break out, never try to separate them with your arms, hands or legs. Their adrenaline is up and they bite at everything in reach during a fight. Use water, sticks, garden tools or whatever is available to separate them. If you are bitten, make sure you go to the doctor right away, to prevent infection of the wounds.

We need to also keep an eye on heat stroke or heat exhaustion with our pets. I see more problems on a humid 90 degree day, than a hot 100 degree day. The problem is that everything is more active during the cooler day and the activity can elevate their body temperatures to a fatal level.

Dog’s normal body temperature is 101 to 103 degrees, when their temperatures reach 106 degrees it is very serious. If it stays elevated or increases over that level it can be fatal. Signs that your pet is over heating are, excessive panting that will not stop, your pet is unwilling to get up and continue walk or play,

anxiety, loss of consciousness or coma.

It is best to prevent overheating by keeping them in a cool shaded area, never exercise in the heat of the day, provide fresh water at all times and keep air movement over them. If it is extremely hot, try finding them an air conditioned area during the middle of the day .

If you suspect that your pet is over heating, cool them with water immediately and then take them to your Veterinarian as quickly as possible to avoid the secondary complications. This is always a situation where time and treatment are important.

Fireworks are also part of summer. They can be very stressful and dangerous to our pets. Never light fireworks with your pets in the area. It is very common for them to chase or bite exploding fireworks. This can cause burns, damaged teeth and even eye injuries.

If your pet is frightened by fireworks, avoid them as best as possible and provide them with a safe place to hide. Tranquilizers may also be used. They will decrease the level of fear, but not take it away. Pets can become so frightened that they run away.

I have several patients that go to boarding facilities during the 4th of July for the sake of safety.

Enjoy the warm summer nights and remember, January is only 6 months away!

Huntimer

BY LOREN H. ANDERSON

C Huntimer, Taopi Township, 464th Avenue & 245th Street.

harles B. Huntimer and his wife Ellen Sweeney, born to German and Irish immigrants, and their infant daughter, settled near this site in 1878. They traveled from Wisconsin to Dakota Territory in an oxendrawn covered wagon. Some years later they were joined by relatives, friends, and former neighbors who also settled here.

A majority of these pioneers were members of the Roman Catholic faith. Church services were held in family homes, but in 1886, a request was made for a priest to be sent to conduct Mass. Two years later St. Joseph’s Parish was organized, and the first of three

Catholic churches was built.

In 1907, Charles Huntimer founded Charles City, and he became the first person to build an elevator next to the tracks of the new South Dakota Central Railroad. Other enterprises included a general store, a second elevator, stockyards, and the Milwaukee Railroad.

Two years later the name of the hamlet was changed to Huntimer. For many years nearby rural schools provided for the educational needs of children from the village.

St. Joseph the Workman Catholic Church and its cemetery are all that remain today of the long-vanished tiny village of Huntimer.

“Spectacular Sight!”

Two elevators were built about the time Huntimer was founded. Both were located between the two parallel sets of railroad tracks owned by competitors South Dakota Central Railroad and the Milwaukee Road. In 1945 the last standing Huntimer elevator caught fire and burned in a strikingly grand fashion.

Huge orange flames, topped with an immense, billowy plume of black smoke, could be seen for miles in all directions. The elevator was completely destroyed and was not rebuilt.

HISTORICAL MARKER

“Say, “Cheese!’”

The Huntimer General Store in the background began in 1909 and originally was managed by N. M. Scheckle. Dry good and a general line of merchandise were made available to the community. When R. T. Dresh became the store manager, farm machinery was added to the inventory. Note the shadow of the well-dressed young woman in the foreground.
