ost people have a list of places they would rather go than to a dental office. However, one practice in town is working hard to change the perception of “going to the dentist.”

According to Dr. Zachary Beecroft at First Class Dental Care, “Our name says it all.”

Dr. Beecroft is a private pilot, and son of a commercial pilot, who has been interested in aviation all his life. One thing he has noticed is the feeling that flying first class evokes.

“Air travel can be fun because it is convenient and it’s transporting us somewhere else,” he says. “We want to have our patients feel that same way here.”

To create that atmosphere, the practice went with an aviation theme, complete with a backlit blue sky and real first class airline seats in the reception area. The treatment areas each feature different themes from places around the world.

“We want this to be a memorable experience for our patients….in a good way,” says Dr. Beecroft. “Dental care is essential to good health, and we hope that our patient-centered care makes them want to come back and see us regularly.”

First Class Dental focuses on comprehensive care for all ages.

Tooth decay is one of the most common diseases in the United States, second only to the common cold. Research has shown that people with periodontal disease (also called gum disease) are at higher risk for any other health issues, including heart disease, stroke, uncontrolled diabetes, pre-term births and respiratory disease.

“Changes in the teeth and jawbone can have a dramatic impact on a person’s appearance and quality of life,” says Dr. Beecroft.

“Our teeth and bone support our facial features. And human

etc. for her | August 2014 11

bones require stimulation to maintain their size and density. In other words, if you don’t use them, you lose them.”

Dr. Beecroft explains that each tooth has a specific job, and the loss of even just one can impair a person’s ability to bite or chew. The underlying bone, then, is no longer being stimulated by the pressure from chewing, which is essential for keeping the mouth healthy and the bone strong.

A dental implant, says Dr. Beecroft, can help maintain the bone’s integrity. Implant dental care is just one area of emphasis at First Class Dental.

“The sooner you get a dental implant after losing a tooth, the more likely the bone will remain intact.”

Dr. Beecroft, who is a self-proclaimed advocate of lifelong learning, is currently working on certification through the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He is also a participating member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, which

has provided some of the training necessary to offer services such as Powerprox 6-month braces.

“Powerprox is a faster way to address the straightening of teeth,” says Dr. Beecroft. “It uses techniques that have been part of orthodontics for years, but also introduces other technologies such as wires with shape memory. This means that however that wire is bent or twisted by improper position of the teeth, the wire will return to the ideal original shape. This allows a person’s teeth to automatically move to the desired location. It is a great alternative for correcting alignment of the teeth without the long-term time commitment.”

To make dental care even more convenient for patients, First Class Dental offers appointments throughout the week, as well as on Thursday evenings.

f you want to update the look of a room, or your entire home, and you don’t know where to begin, try Evolve Interior Design.

Julie Hanssen and Laura Lien-Dybedahl opened their doors in March at Remington Pointe. It was quite fitting that the pair was able to work with developers at the early stages of construction to pick their spot in the new retail center and design it from the ground up.

Hanssen has worked for 30 years in the design business in

14 out and about |

concierge

Sioux Falls, and Lien-Dybedahl worked in Denver before moving here seven years ago.

Evolve features a 5,000-square-foot showroom and a separate design studio to help clients with both residential design and commercial work.

While the two work well together in all areas of design, Hanssen says she has had more experience in more traditional and

“transitional”design, while Lien has a keen eye for the contemporary.

“But ultimately,” says Lien-Dybedahl, “the design is all about the client.”

Hanssen agrees that the key to good interior design is the relationship they build with clients. “We get to know our clients on a personal level to ensure we find the right design for their personality and lifestyle.”

The showroom certainly carries items for every personality, from Hollywood glam to rustic Western.

In one section you will find a modern furniture arrangement of whites, greys and metallic accents, and around the corner will be bright orange chairs with animal hide pillows and a painting of a herd of cows.

If you can imagine it, they likely have it….or they can get it.

etc. for her | August 2014 15

“Everyone likes to bounce ideas off someone else, and that’s why we are here,” says Hanssen.

Evolve Interior Design | 2312 W. 69th Street | Remington Pointe | (605) 275-9455 The studio area is filled with fabric swatches, wallpaper books, wood samples and furniture catalogs.

“It may not look like it,” laughs Hanssen, “but we actually have things organized in that room!”

If a client is looking for furniture upholstery, drapery fabric, or a certain furniture style, the design duo can retreat to the studio to find just the right thing.

They both agree that you don’t have to have a movie star budget to consult with an interior designer.

“Everyone likes to bounce ideas off someone else, and that’s why we are here,” says Hanssen. “We love to help, whether someone just needs a couple of chairs or they are looking to furnish an entire house.”

Evolve Interior Design has a wide variety of furniture, lamps

“There are so many things you can do with draperies,”says Hanssen. “It’s just a beautiful way to finish off a room. We can help people with every style and any budget – from $30 cottons to $300 silks and everything in between.”

While the two read trade journals and go to markets to find the

latest trends and styles to bring back to Evolve, it all just comes back to the connections they make with their clients.

“It’s great when we have clients who keep coming back to us over time,” says Hanssen. “They may come to see us when they’re first in a starter house, then when they find a new house, and then when their children get a house. We build friendships, and that makes the design work even more fun.”

Eat When You Can As a kid traveling with my parents, my mother would often say, “Eat now, because you never know when you’ll get another chance.” These words became the family travel mantra, reiterated often and held in high esteem. When we stopped the car, whether it was for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a snack, that phrase would be repeated like we were saying grace. So I learned early to watch for those special opportunities on the road.

As we travel today, we try to follow a few simple rules when it comes to eating on the road, but mom’s words always stay on the top of my mind.

Don’t Eat What You Could Eat at Home My first rule of eating while traveling is try not to eat at a restaurant that I have easy access to at home. I don’t have anything against chain restaurants; in fact, the consistency of a franchise can be very comforting. But when I’m out of town I don’t go to Applebee’s, because there are two close to home.

But for all of the great dining choices we have in Sioux Falls, we don’t have a P.F. Chang’s or Fleming’s Steakhouse, so given the chance, we might go to one of those. And if I drive past an In & Out Burger, I’m likely to stop. If you need your Starbucks Venti

or a McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin and a Diet Coke to start your day, I won’t try to stop you, but I’ll encourage you to at least look for a local option.

Most of the time, when given the choice, we will seek out a local place. Some of them are fancy, some of them are dives, but if we go where the locals go, it’s probably pretty good. On a recent trip to Des Moines to visit my family, we were stopped at an interstate rest area. Delayed by bad weather and road construction, we were a bit behind schedule and decided we should eat soon. A check of the Around Me app showed mostly the usual suspects – fast food, truck stops and a chain of convenience stores that is desperately trying to rebrand itself as a pizza place. But there was a glimmer of hope at the bottom of the page, a local Greek restaurant in a small town just 15 miles off the interstate. After a check of the reviews, we made a quick entry into the navigation system that took us to the quaint little town of Greenfield, Iowa, and ordered two outstanding plates of gyros. The waitress even gave us kudos for pronouncing “yeeros” correctly. Great food was waiting just off the beaten path.

The Key Part of Comfort Food is Comfort On my trip back from Tucson, I was tired and hungry after

about eleven hours of windshield time; I needed comfort food.

I found a hotel and checked in, and asked the guy at the front desk if he could recommend a local pizza place that delivered.

He produced 4 menus but said one was his favorite, a pizza he describes as “really thin crust and kinda greasy.” Sold. Thirty minutes later, my salvation was delivered in a grease-stained cardboard box. The pizza was great, but the ability to enjoy my meal with my feet up and the TV on made it perfect. Comfort food indeed.

Trust Online Reviews – To a Point In April, I stopped for lunch at a little burger joint in Custer, South Dakota, and discovered a hidden gem. The online reviews were heaping on the praise and after my lunch, I couldn’t argue.

So when we headed west for the Independence Day , I suggested we go there. One problem – two days before our trip, Black Hills Burger and Bun Co. was named “Best Burger in America” by TripAdvisor. By the time we got to Custer on Saturday morning, the wait was estimated at an hour and a half to two hours. We had a great meal at Sage Creek Grille around the corner instead.

Get Out of the Car If you’ve got some time to make up, or you’re counting the miles before you reach your destination, the speed and convenience of the drive-thru can be tempting. But steel yourself against their siren call. First, you’re going to need a potty break and to stretch your legs, so that’s reason enough to get out. But the real reason to go into the restaurant is the local flavor. I don’t mean the food; I’m talking about the people.

In the drive-thru you’ll hear a disembodied voice on a speaker and see a hand reach through the window. In the restaurant, you see the locals – young and old, pretty and well, let’s just say “authentic.” Isn’t that really why we travel? To see all of the variations of humankind that this great country has to offer... that’s where the payoff is. It’s great to see friends and family, but it’s even better to learn and expand our horizons.

Napoleon said that every army travels on its stomachs. He was right. Without fuel, we’re just not going anywhere. And for me, a full tank of gas and the quest for my next meal keep me moving down the highway. Whether it’s just around the next curve or 200 miles away, I’ve always got my eyes open for an interesting place to eat. After all, you never know when you’ll get a chance to eat again.

Wherever the road takes you, do yourself a favor and eat something good today.

When he’s not on the road, Jim runs ADwërks, an advertising agency in downtown Sioux Falls. And that gives him even more chances for road trips.

Back to Wine Tasting Basics

by Riccardo Tarabelsi

14-15 WINNER

S

eriously? It seems like summer just began, and now here I am writing a “Back to School” article… I don’t know about your kids, but here’s what mine are excited about: Dante (8th grade) is looking forward to being the “oldest kids in middle school!” Berent (6th grade) can’t wait to start middle school, and Jaxon (5th grade) said, “Back to school? Already?” I know what you mean, Jaxon, but as our kids get ready for another school year, it’s always good for us adults to go back to the basics when it comes to wine drinking. I view drinking wine like I coach soccer: every player has a purpose just like every sense has a purpose when tasting wine. Utilize all your senses! See the wine, smell the wine, feel the wine, and taste the wine… then listen to the clinking of the glasses and the oohs and ahhs as you impress your friends with the wine tasting skills you are about to learn. So please sit up straight, sharpen your No. 2 pencil, and open your mind…

Seeing is Believing Color is very important in wine, which is why people are often seen holding a glass of wine up to the light or against a white table cloth before drinking it. As wine ages, the color of the wine changes. Red wines in general begin as a very dark red or purple color. Over time, red wines tend to fade from this dark shade to a garnet and finally a brick red. At first this color change might

only be noticed around the rim of a wine, but over the years, the entire wine will fade. White wine on the other hand tends to darken with age. White wines usually start out straw or lemon in color and age to dark amber.

Why is the color of a wine so important to inspect? The color of wine with respect to its age can be an important key in determining if a bottle of wine has been manufactured poorly. For example, if a one-year-old bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is already a very dark, deep amber color when the bottle is first opened, this could signify that the bottle has not been manufactured and processed correctly causing the wine to age prematurely.

The same can be said for red wines, if a young bottle of Merlot is already a brick red or brown color when opened, chances are good there was a problem with the bottle, and it will not have optimal taste.

It is also important to inspect the legs of a glass of wine. Legs or fingers or tears are terms used to describe the streams of wine that are on the sides of a glass after it has been swirled around. Legs are an indicator of how much alcohol is the wine.

Just remember this: If the legs are slow to fall, it means high alcohol. In other words, if a wine’s legs are slow to form and then slowly roll down the bowl of the glass, it probably means you are holding a big wine that has a higher alcohol content.

Smell Well This is where the most time should be spent. Pay special attention to the aromas you are about to smell. The best way to release the aromas of a glass of wine is to swirl it for a few moments. Swirling helps to aerate the wine and allows more oxygen to have contact with the wine, which in turn releases

aromas. It is important to smell a glass of wine before drinking to ensure that the wine smells healthy. A wine should never smell moldy or stale. If you smell acetone (like nail polish remover,) just run away, your wine is officially spoiled!

Aside from checking if a wine smells flawless, swirling a glass of wine is also a great way to be able to smell the primary and/or secondary aromas. Primary aromas are usually found in younger wines, and usually are fruit related. Look for the six categories of fruit aromas: citrus fruit (lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit,) tree fruit (apple and pear,) stone fruit (peach, apricot, and cherry,) berry fruit (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, etc.,) tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, and mango,) and dried fruit (fig, prune, and raisin.) Secondary aromas to look for are wood (like vanilla, oak, cedar, and smoke,) earth (like mushroom, stone, and dust,) floral (like rose, violet, and orange blossom,) herbaceous (like grass, asparagus, bell pepper, olive, and eucalyptus, and miscellaneous (like tar, rubber, sulfur, wet dog- no joke, cat pee- again, not a joke, and yeast.)

Taste Test Finally there is your palate. The purpose of tasting the wine, besides actually enjoying the winemaker’s creation, is to confirm everything that you just smelled. Because we spend the most time smelling the wine, our palate is used to confirm the fruit or the earth your nose detected. Some wines have layers of flavors that evolve as the wine passes through your palate.

A wine that lingers is a sign of a good quality wine, but it also means the flavor can be enjoyed longer. Be sure to use your entire palate. Most people drink wine front to back, meaning they just take a sip of wine and then swallow it. Be sure to allow your entire palate to absorb the wine, so when you take a sip, let the wine travel the topography of your palate and let all of your tasting zones experience the wine. Be sure to let the wine hit the sides of your tongue; you may experience something new you never knew was there.

Feel It Mouthfeel is a term used in wine tasting to describe how a wine interacts with the palate and how it feels or weighs in the mouth, typically described as body. A good analogy is comparing wine to how milk feels. If a wine feels like skim milk (thin and watery) then the wine is described as having a light body. A medium-bodied wine will feel like 2% milk, and a full-bodied wine will feel like whole milk, almost coating your palate.

Well, are you ready for the test… no, it’s not a written test, it’s a palate test. Invite your friends, tell them to pick out any bottle of wine and bring it over in a brown bag, and then pour the mystery wines and start using your senses! Carpe Vino!

he city of Cincinnati is one full of both midwestern and southern charm. With so many attractions, including beautiful views of the Ohio River, a theme park, and gorgeous 19th century architecture, it would be difficult for someone to become bored in this revitalized city. A thriving arts scene, major league sports teams, and a world-class zoo and aquarium make up just a fraction of what Cincinnati has to offer.

Home of one of the tallest and fastest wooden roller coasters in the world, Kings Island is located off I-71, 24 miles north of Cincinnati. It is the largest amusement and waterpark in the midwest.

Located in Eden Park, the Museum features a collection of more than 60,000 works spanning 6,000 years and feature pieces from renowned artists such as Warhol, Van Gogh, Picasso, Rembrandt and Gainsborough.

ballpark saw its first pitch in 2003.

During football season, fans can visit the Paul Brown Stadium, which is one of the hottest spots in town.

Help Your Guy

Achieve the Gift of Great Health

By Donna Farris, for Avera Health

G

ood health is an irreplaceable gift. Yet men are less likely to protect their health by getting preventive screenings and early intervention for troubling symptoms.

“You can have it all – a great career, an awesome family and plenty of wealth – but it doesn’t mean much if you don’t have your

70 mind – body – spirit |

HEalth & Well-being

health to enjoy it. Health is the great equalizer,” said Dean Aguiling, MD, with Avera Medical Group Internal Medicine Sioux Falls.

Women often are more likely to stay on top of their own health care. Encouraging your guy to do the same is just another way you can care for him.

“You can have it all – a great career, an awesome family and plenty of wealth – but it doesn’t mean much if you don’t have your health to enjoy it.

Health is the great equalizer.”

“Men tend to brush off minor symptoms that could be the start of something major,” said Dr. Aguiling. “They’re also less likely to go in for general health maintenance visits than women.”

Dr. Aguiling encourages both men and women to go to their medical provider once a year, using their birthday as a reminder.

“You don’t have to go in on your birthday, but let your birthday serve as a reminder and let that annual visit be a birthday gift to yourself.”

An annual checkup is recommended for both males and females of all ages. Blood pressure checks at these visits are recommended for all adults, age 18 and over.

At age 35 (or earlier if at high risk for heart disease), men should have blood cholesterol screening. The lipid panel is more than a total cholesterol count. It’s a count of “good” cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol, the ratio of good to bad, and triglycerides.

Simply being male puts a man at higher risk for heart disease.

Race, smoking and blood pressure also impact risk. Cholesterol screening should take place every four to six years.

HEalth & Well-being

Starting no later than age 45, men and women alike should be screened for type 2 diabetes at the same time their blood cholesterol is checked. Adults should be tested earlier if they have certain risk factors, such as high blood pressure, obesity or a family history. Type 2 diabetes can damage eyesight, circulation and major organ function. Yet it’s estimated that 8 million adults have diabetes that is undiagnosed.

At age 50, a screening colonoscopy is recommended to check for colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps. During the same procedure, precancerous polyps can be removed, greatly reducing the risk of developing colorectal cancer. This test is recommended every 10 years.

Smokers are at higher risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition that occurs when a section of the body’s main artery weakens and bulges, so screening is recommended at age 65.

Also, heavier smokers should consider low-dose CT screening to check for early-stage lung cancer beginning at age 55.

Screening for prostate cancer is an individual decision that men should discuss with their provider. For men age 50 to 74 who decide to proceed with prostate screening, a PSA blood test is recommended every two to four years. Screening may also include a digital rectal exam.

At an annual exam, encourage your mate to ask about any troubling symptoms. This includes even vague symptoms such as loss of sex drive, depleted energy or depression, which could point to a hormone imbalance that’s easily treated, Dr. Aguiling advised.

If your mate smokes, one of the best things you can do for his health is encourage him to quit. Smoking is not only the major risk factor in lung cancer – the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. It’s linked to other types of cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and more.

Women also can encourage their partners to adopt healthy habits, including: • Maintaining a healthy weight • A healthy diet that features plenty of fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, fish and lean meats, and whole grains. The Mediterranean diet is a great model that’s proven to prevent heart disease, cancer and more.

• Regular exercise • Alcohol only in moderation, that equates to no more than two glasses of wine per day for men (one for women) Learn more about preventive care, men’s health and numerous health care topics at Avera.org. Click on Health Information.

That’s Your Cue Talking to Your Daughter About Her Changing Body

By Sanford Health

B

esides “the talk”, this is probably one of the last conversations your teenage daughter wants to have with you, and you might feel the same way. But talking and educating your daughter about her body shouldn’t be awkward. It is a great chance for you to connect and build a relationship with her that is essential to her health.

“When she reaches those teen years, she is going to face a lot of big decisions,” says Sanford OB/GYN Amy Kelley-Osdoba, MD. “She needs to know that the habits and lifestyle choices she makes now could affect her and her health for the rest of her life.”

One of the best chances to open up discussion is when she

gets her period. It is the perfect time to talk about health, hygiene and any questions she might have.

“When I meet with teens, a lot of their questions revolve around if they are “normal”,” says Dr. Kelley-Osdoba. “It’s recommended for girls to see a gynecologist between the ages of 13 and 15 so she has the chance to ask those questions to a medical professional. We can talk about her menstrual cycle, cramps, acne and anything else she wants to discuss.”

As you do begin to start having these talks with your daughter, there are two key points that Dr. Kelley-Osdoba says all parents should follow.

“Try not to freak out when she confides things to you. Although you might be upset about something, if she sees that, she is less likely to come to you with even bigger problems later in life. The second is to not lie to her. You can look up anything on the internet.

So if you aren’t honest, she’ll figure it out. Be happy that she trusts you and is comfortable enough to be able to come to you.”

The relationship you have with your teen daughter is one of the most influential in her life. Be sure that you are taking the time to invest in her and her world so that she can make the best decisions now and in the years to come.

Investing in

by Ag United

J

ust like other business owners, farmers and ranchers manage a number of challenges every day. In addition to feeding and caring for their livestock, planting and harvesting crops, and keeping an eye out for Mother Nature, they also have to manage their finances and invest for the future. Sometimes, though, the most important investment doesn’t involve money.

Becky Krause brings a unique perspective to managing a family farm. As a manager and Vice President at First Premier Bank, a privately owned South Dakota bank with 17 locations in the state, she works with farmers every day to help manage the business aspects of their farms and livestock operations.

As an owner of a family grain and livestock operation, she also understands the day-to-day realities of caring for livestock and the land.

Becky grew up on a dairy and beef farm in Deuel County. After marrying her high school sweetheart Robb Krause, they began a small dairy operation and started feeding cattle. Krause Livestock LLC is headquartered south of Clear Lake, South Dakota, and is now a diversified livestock and grain operation with a cow/calf herd, feeder livestock, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats and wheat.

Robb and Becky have three children. Riley, 25, and Landon, 22, are both involved in the farm. Riley focuses on crop, feed

78 friends & family

Farms, Families and South Dakota’s Future and machinery, and Landon’s responsibilities are livestock care and feeding. Their daughter Alissa graduated from Deuel High School in May 2014, and will attend SDSU in Brookings for ag and elementary education.

“Being able to have our children so close to us and working together in an industry we love is the most rewarding part of farming,” she said. “I grew up on a family farm in Deuel County and value the opportunity to live and work with our most valuable assets, our children.”

The family is active in a number of community and agriculture organizations, including the Clear Lake United Methodist Church. Becky teaches Sunday School and confirmation classes and leads the youth group, and is on the Stewards Against Childhood Hunger committee that provides week-end backpacks for Deuel Elementary students. She also serves on the Lake Area Technical Institution’s Foundation Board of Directors and as the chairperson of the finance committee.

They also work to share information about modern production agriculture, including hosting several tours a year to different buying groups for the meat industry. There is definitely a concern for safe food, but also a desire from the non-ag population to learn how their food goes from the field or feedlot to their plate, said Becky.

“Farm families keep our local businesses going.

There is an incredible economic benefit in having local farm families spend their money on crop and livestock expenses, along with living expenses,” she said.

“The comment that we hear all of the time by groups that visit our farm is that they didn’t know how much physical work and attention to detail is involved in the operation,” she said “During a feedlot tour, Robb often explains that our livestock eat a much more balanced diet than most American consumers!”

The economic benefits of agriculture in South Dakota are wide ranging, from supporting individual families and strengthening rural communities to driving the state’s economic engine.

“Farm families keep our local businesses going. There is an incredible economic benefit in having local farm families spend

their money on crop and livestock expenses, along with living expenses,” she said. “There are millions of dollars that roll through our local community because of agriculture production.

It is a source of employment and livelihood for our community.”

Becky is also excited about the future of agriculture in South Dakota and the opportunities for current and future generations.

“It has been almost two decades since we have seen this much interest with the younger generation wanting to be involved in ag production. It is refreshing to know that our children want to carry on the tradition of farming together as a family,” she said.

Celebrate the First Day!

C

an you remember your first day of school? I remember being so nervous the night before, that I couldn’t eat dinner. I matched my coolest outfit and hung it by my bedroom door two weeks before. I was up two hours earlier than I needed to be, so I could have the perfect hair, which never ended up being perfect. By the end of my first day, I finally could catch my breath as it felt like I hadn’t been breathing all day. First days eventually got easier, until I became a parent.

Pigsticks and Harold and the Incredible Journey

by Alex Milway Pigsticks is the last in a noble line of explorers, and he’s decided it’s time for him to follow in his forepigs’ footsteps — with an assistant to do the heavy lifting, of course. When his helpwanted ad draws a motley crew of candidates, he chooses a hapless delivery hamster named Harold. As the unlikely duo set off from Tuptown with plenty of tea cakes in tow, Pigsticks is breathless with excitement (and Harold is struggling for breath under all the gear). But after a long trek through jungles, over deserts, and up a giant ice-topped mountain, the last crumb of cake is stolen by a herd of thieving goats, and their goal is nowhere in sight. Will they ever discover the Ends of the Earth? Could it be in the last place they’d ever think to look?

O

ur cats and dogs can perform amazing athletic feats.

Running at 30 miles per hour or jumping from the floor on top of cabinets, is common place. To leap into the car, on the couch or even catching frisbees on the run is done with ease.

Trauma can put an end to some of these feats, but it is amazing how adaptable our furry friends can be.

I deal with trauma on a daily basis. In most cases the car bumper, grain auger or the hoof of a horse wins the battle when they contact our friends. Many of these injuries are repairable, but there are times when the damage is just too much. In some cases, we face the difficult decision of limb amputation. It can be a stressful decision for pet owners, but it is often a great decision for the patient.

Severe damage involving nerves, large blood vessels, or tissues can lead to severe pain. Amputation often removes the pain and allows the pet to survive with a high quality of life. The most difficult cases for pet owners and veterinarians alike involve nerve damage only. The brachial plexus is a fancy phrase for the nerve “junction box” in our armpit. It contains all of the nerves to our arm. If it is severely stretched by trauma the nerves stop working and the patient cannot feel their arm again. In a dog or cats life, they often carry or drag the front leg. Visible damage is not required to cause nerve stretching.

Simple stretching can cause pets to lose the feeling in their leg.

That brings us to Cowboy. Cowboy is a working cattle dog for Wagner Angus Ranch in Billings, Montana. He has a tough job.

Cowboy is the first up and the last one to go to bed. He has to chase the rowdy black cows all over the pasture and make sure they are going in the right direction. Sometimes cows have a different opinion on that, requiring more effort from the cattle dog. He never complains about the mud, snow or salary. He just appreciates a nod and part of your sandwich.

One day the delivery truck didn’t see Cowboy running onto the driveway. Cowboy ran towards the truck head-on. He tumbled and rolled, got up and there was not a scratch on him. His front leg, however, did not work. His X-rays showed no fractures. All of the damage was to his nerves.

The Wagner family struggled to make a decision. We talked about Cowboy’s treatment options over the phone. Amputation is a word no one would like to hear. After giving Cowboy a couple of weeks to recover without results they consented to surgery.

One month after removing Cowboy’s front leg he was back at work. He is chasing cattle, giving orders and back in control of the ranch. He may not be quite as fast without his spare tire, but he is still boss of those cattle.

Volcanic Ashfall

By Bruce Blake

A

Future Marker Location: Near Hartford at a site yet to be determined.

bout 610 years ago, volcanic activity in the Yellowstone National Park area produced a cataclysmic eruption 1000 larger than the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980. At the blast site a huge depression (caldera) was created covering about 1500 square miles. Ground-hugging flows of hot volcanic ash, pumice, and gases swept across the United States.

The eruption shot a towering column of volcanic ash and gases high into the air. Downwind from the volcano, fine ashfall blanketed North America.

More than three feet of ashfall accumulated across Minnhaha County.

The eruption occurred during an interglacial stage, and subsequent ice flows buried the ash. Over time, erosion revealed an outcrop of the ash near here in a cutbank on the East side of Skunk Creek.

Locally called Hartford Ash, the site is used as a marker to distinguish three distinct stages of glaciation. The drift from two older glaciers has been identified as below the Hartford Ash Bed, while the drift from a third and more recent glacier is above it.

Dedicated in 2006 by the Minnehaha County Historical Society and in Honor of Dennis W. Tomhave.

Violent Volcano Eruptions Volcanic ash consists of rock, mineral, and volcanic glass fragments. It is hard, does not dissolve in water and is created by the shattering of solid rocks and the violent separation of magma (molten rock) into tiny pieces. After being blasted into the air by expanding steam and other volcanic gases, the hot ash and gas rise quickly to form a huge eruption column above the volcano.
