CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

How are farmers in South Dakota using sustainable practices for conservation?

IT STARTS WITH LAND MANAGEMENT

SOIL HEALTH IS THE ANSWER

Many farmers encourage wildlife by putting less productive land into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

“In one handful of dirt there are more organisms than there are people on earth,” Halverson said. Practices such as reduced tillage and cover crops help nourish the microorganisms that are so critical to healthy soil.

Steve Halverson, who farms near Kennebec, S.D., and operates Halverson Hunts, strategically rotates various crops near CRP land to provide year-round habitat for pheasants. “It’s farming the best and conserving the rest,” he said.

USING COVER CROPS TO IMPROVE SUSTAINABILITY Farmers grow cover crops to protect and enrich the soil.

For example, after harvesting a field of corn, a farmer might plant a cover crop, such as turnips, to reduce erosion, add or retain nutrients and improve soil quality.

“Obviously, every farmer wants to leave their farm better than they found it. And soil health is the only way you can do that,” Halverson said. “With soil health, we’re working to put it back to the state it was in before it was farmed.”

Farmers are being challenged to find ways to increase production to feed a quickly-growing world population.

Halverson said, “We need to learn how to produce more with less. And it comes back to soil health.”

Halverson uses cover crops as forage for cattle and to improve soil health. “We can grow some of our own nitrogen and reduce the amount of inputs,” he said.

“Planting cover crops at a time when the soil normally has nothing on it is very beneficial to the soil.”

farmer wants to leave their “ Every farm better than they found it.”

South of Kennebec, fourth-generation farmer Steve Halverson grows crops, raises cattle and operates Halverson Hunts. He maintains wildlife habitat and uses sustainability practices like no-till and cover crops to conserve water and improve soil health.

“Every farm is different. And every farmer is different. But everyone wants to do what’s right for the environment.�

hris and Jessica Pappas opened Pappy’s The Original in April of this year on the ground floor of the DocuTap building, located on the bustling corner of Ninth Street and Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls.

If you are up on your history, you know that this corner was the center of activity in 19th century Sioux Falls, serving as the home to the notable Cataract Hotel. The hotel was the place to socialize, meet the stagecoach and pick up your mail. When the city founders established a numbering system for house and business addresses, they used Ninth and Phillips as square one.

Over the years, this corner developed into a financial center

CONCIERGE

with the opening of banks and investment companies, and it remains that way today.

The corner’s history served as inspiration to Chris and Jessica as they looked to once again create a place where people could come to eat, drink and socialize. They also took cues from the financial character of the area in putting together the menu at Pappy’s, where sandwiches carry the names of U.S. Presidents who appear on our coins and paper money. For breakfast, you can have a Washington, Lincoln or Jefferson. At lunch or dinner, you may go for a Jackson, Grant, Franklin or Hamilton.

These aren’t just ordinary sandwiches. They feature tasty ingredients like corn cob smoked bacon, Havarti cheese, dried cranberries, spinach, broccoli slaw, figs, feta cheese, baby greens, truffle infused mayonnaise and Certified Angus Pot Roast. There’s also “Pappy’s Famous Chicken Salad” made with chicken breast and fire roasted thigh meat tossed with pistachios and dried cranberries in a Greek yogurt dressing.

The owners brought in Shonna Haugen to serve as head chef and manager. With more than 20 years’ experience in the Sioux Falls restaurant scene, Haugen was ready to help create a oneof-a-kind experience for customers.

“There’s an old saying if you choose a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life,” says Haugen, “and that’s the way I feel every day here at Pappy’s.”

While some of the menu items are available every day, such as the presidential sandwiches and their Ultimate Greek Yogurt Bar, you never know what may show up as a feature item. It might be a smoky Cuban sandwich or a new twist on an old standby like grilled cheese with tomato soup.

Haugen likes to put her own spin on the dishes, like using her great aunt June’s coleslaw recipe. And, she’ll customize dishes for customers with special dietary needs.

If you are a tea drinker, Pappy’s carries TEALEAVES TEA, and they are the only spot in South Dakota where you can find these teas, known for their artisan handcrafted, small batch leaves from the far corners of the world.

For a nutritional boost, try one of their Greek yogurt blended smoothies, such as the Almond Be Joyful with almond milk, semi-sweet chocolate and coconut flakes; the Green Super Hero with kale, agave nectar and chia seeds; or the Macho Man with pumpkin seeds, buckwheat honey and dried figs.

Pappy’s also has beer and wine license, and they change up some of the offerings with the seasons, so you can find a shandy beer in the summer and an Oktoberfest variety in the fall. They even managed to find a white wine from a Pappas label (no relation), so of course that had to go on the menu.

Haugen says everyone at Pappy’s has been enjoying meeting customers and hearing customers’ ideas for the menu. With the changing seasons, she says patrons can expect some new additions to the menu, like paninis, soups and stews…but with a little of the Pappy’s “flair” added.

Be sure to find Pappy’s the Original on Facebook and on Instagram to stay up-to-date on the latest features.

“We have some folks who can’t do dairy or wheat, so we will come up with great options for them,” she says. “I had a customer who had a condition that made it hard to swallow, so I put together a delicious and nutritious smoothie. I love to create for our customers.”

Some of Haugen’s creations can be found on the menu at neighbor business Wood Grain Brewing Company.

“Our barbeque chicken pizza is popular over there. The sauce is just the right blend, of smoke, sweet and spice.”

The environment at Pappy’s is warm and inviting, and the windows provide a great view of the activity along Phillips Avenue. A patio provides a relaxing space to eat and relax while sipping a cup of Dark Canyon coffee. Roasted right here in South

Combining Passion with Professional Success

Ag United M

egan Herlyn is one of a growing number of women finding success in agricultural careers Changing leaves, cooler temperature, and trips to the pumpkin patch are all signs that fall has arrived in South Dakota. Across rural South Dakota, another iconic sign of fall is combines and grain trucks moving through corn and soybean fields.

The fall harvest means long hours for farm families as well of thousands of other South Dakotans who work to make sure the harvested grain is tested, stored and shipped to customers in the state and around the world. In 2014 alone, South Dakota farmers raised more than 787 million bushels of corn and nearly 230 million bushels of soybeans.

Megan Herlyn is a grain originator at Central Farmers Cooperative in Lyons, South Dakota, where she works with farmers to purchase the grain they harvest. For Megan, working at the elevator allows her to continue her passion for agriculture that she developed while growing up on her family’s farm near Marion.

“My sisters and I spent a lot of time helping my dad with chores around the farm,” said Megan. “Whenever we had a problem with a job, he would encourage us to keep trying and find a solution. ‘Can’t’ wasn’t a word that we could use on the farm,” she said.

Megan began working at Central Farmers in 2012 after graduating from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, with a degree in Finance. Megan is one of an increasing number of women who are finding professional success in agricultural careers. Whether as an active partner in a farming or ranching operation, or in an agricultural sales, service or research industry, the opportunities for women in agriculture continue to grow. In fact, according to the most recent USDA census, nearly 30 percent of U.S. farmers are women.

The work ethic Megan learned on her family’s farm has carried over to her career, especially during the busy harvest season.

From early October through mid-November, Central Farmers Cooperative’s Lyons location will take delivery of about 7 million bushels of corn and 2 million bushels of soybeans. They will take in about the same amount throughout the year from farmers who stored their harvested grain on their own farms first, then bring it to the elevator to sell at a later date.

The Lyons elevator is one of seven Central Farmers Coop elevators in eastern South Dakota. It was completed in 2012, with the facility designed to quickly unload trucks, as well as to easily load the trains that will carry grain to its final destination.

“We have a specially-designed circle track and loading system that allows us to load a 110 car train with more than 400,000 bushels of

18 out and about |

ET CETERA

grain in less than eight hours,” said Megan.

Because of the location’s rail loading system, most of the grain that comes into Lyons is shipped to the west coast for export markets.

Some is also sent to Hereford, Texas, for livestock feeding or to dairies in California, said Megan.

“This area grows great quality crops and we often see areas that request our grain,” she said.

Roughly half of the corn crop in the U.S. is fed to animals and poultry. Another important market is for ethanol production, which produces fuel as well as distillers grain used in livestock feed. About 10 percent of the crop is used in food ingredients. The raw materials of corn- starch, protein, fiber and oil – are versatile, which is why corn is an ingredient in many food products.

Whether the end customer for the grain is a cattle feeder, food processor or ethanol producer, they all expect a high quality product.

Each load of grain brought into the elevator –whether it is straight from the harvested field or stored in a farmer’s bin – is weighed on a scale and samples from each truck are tested. Employees also examine the grain to make sure it isn’t damaged.

“Machines can test how dry the grain is and what the test weight is, but it still takes a person to look at and smell every sample,” said Megan. “The testing process is complete before the truck leaves the scale so we know exactly what we are bringing into the elevator.”

Grain is tested again before it is loaded to railcars and shipped out of the elevators, this time by federally certified grain inspectors.

An important part of Megan’s job is working with farmers to develop a strategy for marketing their grain. Like the stock market, grain prices change every day based on weather, demand and other factors out of a farmer’s control. And, since crops like corn and soybeans are only harvested one time per year, it is crucial to make the right decisions.

“There are a number of contracts and other tools that we can use to help farmers make sure they are covering their expenses and earning income to continue their business and support their families,” she said. “They work all year to produce a good crop and my job is to provide the best service I can to help market the grain.”

Even though Megan is busy at the elevator, she finds time to go back to her family’s farm to help with harvest each fall.

“I enjoying working with my family and knowing that the effort we put in now will help grow the family business for years to come,” she said.

THE

Lee Leuning HOME

BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

Y

ou have likely heard the old saying, “Home is where the heart is.” For Sioux Falls resident Lee Leuning, it’s more like home is where the art is.

Growing up in the Hawthorne district next to Terrace Park, Lee and his five brothers would head down to the Argus Leader each day after school to pick up papers to hawk independently on the streets, businesses and bars.

Having a family “mob” helped them hold the best corners, such as Shrivers, from competing paper carriers. He developed an intimate knowledge of all the nooks and crannies of “old downtown.”

Leuning is one of the co-founders of Bad River Art Works with partner Sherri Treeby, and his space in the Phillips Avenue Lofts is part living space, part art gallery and a return to his roots.

He wasn’t always an artist, though.

Leuning earned a wildlife biology degree, met and married

his wife, Karen, and then had a wildlife career spanning nearly three decades in Tennessee and South Dakota as a wildlife conservation officer.

It was during this time that he developed his artistic talents through watercolor wildlife paintings. At one point, a friend recruited Leuning to go along with him to a sculpture class, which turned into a three-year study program at Northern State University and an added career in bronze sculpture.

“I sold all of the pieces I had made in class,” he says, “so I just kept going.”

As part of Bad River Art Works, Leuning and Treeby are most recognized for the nine sculptures placed in the South Dakota War Memorial at the Capitol in Pierre, the U.S. presidents who appear on the streets of Rapid City and the sculptures that are part of the Trail of Governors in Pierre. The duo also has been featured in the Sioux Falls Sculpture Walk each year since its inception.

etc. for her | November 2015 33

Leuning’s life changed with the loss of Karen to breast cancer in 2012.

“She was an English teacher, which has to be one of the toughest subjects to teach because I remembered she would always come home carrying piles of books,” he says. “But, she always had a passion for nursing, and she was able to achieve her dream of going back to school and becoming a nurse.”

Karen’s life and her passion live on through Leuning’s work, which includes sculptures honoring nurses that were placed on the Sanford Health campus in Sioux Falls.

AT HOME

When the Phillips Avenue Lofts opened in downtown Sioux Falls last year, it only took a moment for Leuning to grab an available space on the top floor.

“I was already living in a loft downtown,” Leuning explains, “and I certainly wasn’t planning to move. But, when I heard about this space and walked in and saw all of the natural light coming in, I thought to myself, ‘I guess I’m moving.’”

For a sculptor, light is essential, and the loft provides a wall of windows facing east. That became Leuning’s home studio, where at any given time he may have two or three projects in the works.

“Sculptures can be spiritual,” says Leuning.

“They can carry a person’s spirit, personality and create a personal connection.”

The open floor plan of the kitchen and living room area offered the flexibility to create both sitting space and work space. All around the loft hang pieces of art that range in subject from somber to silly and heartwarming to historical. Some of the pieces are Leuning’s, some are collaborative works with Treeby and others are from artists with whom Leuning is acquainted.

“I think there are about 65 various art works in this area,” he says looking around the space.

Although Leuning claims he is not a designer in the traditional sense of decorating and arranging a home, others would

probably argue that he does have a knack for design thanks to his artistic eye.

The galley kitchen has an L-shaped counter providing seating space, but Leuning was having trouble finding chairs that were high enough. He liked the look of a modern-design stool he found with a white seat and steel legs, but it was just a little short for the counter. So, he cut short pieces of steel to raise the seats a little higher. A unique ant sculpture serves as a mug holder on the counter, and paper relief wildlife pieces hang across a wall over the front door and kitchen cupboards.

AT HOME

On a table inside the front door, a friendly dog sits perched ready to leap at a frisbee suspended from the ceiling. It was modeled after Karen’s dog which is part of the Avera Prairie Center Kite Kids sculpture.

“Sculptures can be spiritual,” says Leuning. “They can carry a person’s spirit, personality and create a personal connection.”

The structural features of the loft, like the exposed ductwork and industrial-style sliding door to the master suite, contribute to the art gallery feel of the space. While Leuning likes those features of the loft, the physical structure of a home isn’t as important to him as filling the home with things that tell stories.

Leuning calls the master suite the “man cave,” with some of his own wildlife art, historic photos transferred onto wood and a picture of one of his sons at age 16 after having just completed his first solo flight in an airplane. The master bath features a modge-podge print of an old He-Man comic book page and a resin cast paper Santa face that hangs on the wall year-round.

It’s a piece he created and is something that he would like make more of…if he had more time.

The guest room has its own collection of unique pieces, from

“I want people to be able to look at my art and get it right away,” he says.

“Maybe it reminds them of their own children, a place they’ve been, an important moment in history or a special memory.”

angel paintings and a resin relief of an angel to a pre-1940s map of Sioux Falls where 41st Street was the edge of town and a parcel in the northeast section was labeled the “county poor farm.”

While Leuning does spend a great deal of time working on his art, he does take time to relax on his small deck overlooking Falls Park. Abundant tomato and pepper plants provide the key ingredients for his homemade salsa, and he developed his own railing shelves to provide handy spots to set a plate or drink rather than taking up room on the deck with a table.

From here, he can gain inspiration from people walking by, the rushing water of the Falls or even from listening to music that drifts down to the lofts from events like Germanfest.

“I had the best seat in the house for the wiener dog races!”

Leuning describes his sculptures as being a slice of Americana or like a Norman Rockwell print.

“I want people to be able to look at my art and get it right away,” he says. “Maybe it reminds them of their own children, a place they’ve been, an important moment in history or a special memory.”

His artwork tells a story, and he has created a home that does as well.

Stuff It!

(On Second Thought, Don’t!)

BY JIM MATHIS

E

veryone has their own Thanksgiving favorites. Some look forward to a day filled with televised parades and football, or a big family feast with the adults at one table and the kids at another. Other people are just waiting for a slice of pumpkin pie, a centerpiece to the whole season of pumpkin spice. Some like cranberries or sweet potatoes or green beans with fried onions. Turkey has plenty of fans; an estimated 46 million of the big birds will be eaten this Thanksgiving. That’s a lot of legs and thighs. No matter what your favorite is, everyone has something to be thankful for.

What do I look forward to most on the Thanksgiving table?

Stuffing. Well, technically it’s dressing since I won’t be stuffing it anywhere except my face. More on that in a minute. I love stuffing in just about every form I’ve tried. My mom used to make really good wild rice stuffing that was nutty and rich.

Cornbread makes wonderful stuffing as does French bread, white bread and sourdough. No matter what your base is, there are any number of things you can add like apples, collard greens, pecans, or winter squash. I like to start with the bread and add a whole lot of other goodies to kick it up.

I start with a bunch of toasted, cubed bread. You can use leftover French or Italian bread and cut it into cubes, or I often

42 nest | MAN IN THE KITCHEN

buy a couple of bags of the stuffing mix at Breadsmith. Then I start to add the goodies. I like to sweat a diced yellow onion and a couple of cloves of garlic. To that I’ll add a bunch of chopped mushrooms. I usually use at least two different kinds like Cremini and oyster or trumpet and shitake. As those cook down, I’ll transfer them into a big bowl with the bread. Then I brown a pound of Italian sausage, and when it’s done, it goes in the bowl as well. I’ll toss in a bunch of fresh sage, thyme, salt and pepper and mix it all together and add enough chicken stock to get all the bread moist, but not too wet. This wonderful concoction goes into a 9 x 12 casserole dish. It will cook in the oven beside the turkey for about a half-hour to forty-five minutes covered, then another fifteen minutes uncovered to get the top crispy.

This is a savory casserole from heaven to me. I’ll take a little bit of turkey, a small scoop of mashed potatoes and some green bean casserole, then I fill up the empty spots on my plate with stuffing. A little drizzle of gravy and I’m good. Honestly, if I thought I could get away with it, I’d skip cooking the turkey and just do the side dishes.

Since I don’t stuff it, I really should call what I’m making “dressing” instead of “stuffing.” But we’ve always called it stuffing, so I’ll stick to that. Why not stuff the stuffing in the

What do I look forward to most on the Thanksgiving table?

Stuffing.

bird? First there’s the whole food safety issue. If you put the stuffing in the cavity of the bird, it’s there soaking up all of the juices. That means all of that stuff inside needs to be cooked to 165 degrees so you don’t poison your Aunt Gertrude with salmonella. By the time the stuffing is heated up; you’ve probably over-cooked the bird. The other big reason is volume.

As I said, I really like the stuff and the space inside that cavity just won’t hold the volume of stuffing that I need to fill my belly.

The final reason for a pan full of dressing instead of a bird full of stuffing is the aforementioned crispy top (and crispy edges).

When you cook it in the bird, it doesn’t get crispy. Some like their stuffing soft and moist, others like the crunchy parts. With the pan you can get both; win, win.

Whether you’re thankful for a day of watching football or a traditional family feast, or gearing up for a Black Friday shopping spree, I hope your holiday is everything you want. I just want some leftover stuffing and maybe a little gravy.

Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

It’s Time to Celebrate

Thanksgi-vino

BY RICCARDO TARABELSI

N

o, that’s not a typo. It occurred to me while busting my brain for a Thanksgiving themed wine article that by changing one letter I was able to embed the word “vino” in the title of this column. I love it when things work out. This year for Thanksgiving, think diversity. Thanksgiving dinner is tricky. It’s a hodge-podge of competing flavors: salty, sweet, sour, savory, rich, earthy, and everything in between. Diversify your wine selections, and you will be sure to hit the perfect pairings. Below are 8 suggested pairings to make your Turkey Day a little easier.

#1 Butternut Squash Soup – Sparkling Rose Like in a perfect marriage, they bring the best out of each other. The sour rose petals and raspberry notes in the wine brighten the dense quality of the soup, while the soft texture of the soup enhances the fruitiness and elegance of the wine.

#2 Mashed Potatoes with Gravy - Riesling Mashed potatoes are creamy and buttery, and gravy is fatty and salty, so take both of these characteristics into consideration. Your wine needs to have enough acidity to cut through the butter, but it also needs to have a bit of sweetness to bring down the salt component. Even if you’re resistant to trying wines with a bit of residual sugar, you will be pleasantly surprised by this pairing.

#3 Brussels Sprouts – Pinot Gris Pairing wine with brussels sprouts is not an easy task, and you really have to think outside the box. The bitter and salty components of this dish have to be slightly matched, while being contrasted. Try it with a Pinot Gris, which is an Alsatian grape with an almond-like bitterness laced with white flowers and peaches.

#4 Green Bean Casserole – Sauvignon Blanc You’re going to have choose a contrasting wine, otherwise you will not be able to have more than just a few bites. You will need a bright, herbaceous, and high acidity wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc from New Zealand or South Africa.

44 nest | VINO

And if that’s your groove, too, allow me to let you in on a few simple tricks for making Thanksgiving dinner more red wine friendly: 1. Slip sage leaves under the turkey skin before roasting (sage is a very red wine-friendly herb).

2. Sneak a little port into the gravy as you’re making it.

3. Add some sausage to the stuffing.

4. Go to town with your favorite reds. Again, take a glance at the alcohol content: it can vary considerably even among the same varietal.

But most of all, don’t sweat it too much. Have a relaxing holiday. And when you wake up on Black Friday, everything you forgot about wine will magically repopulate your brain.

Your body is a remarkable network of bone, tissue and joints working in perfect harmony.

But when injuries occur, that process can be interrupted. At Orthopedic Institute, orthopedic medicine is all we do. We work to get you up and moving again, recreating that perfect harmony, whatever that may be for you.

OrthopedicInstituteSF.com 605.331.5890

#5 Cornbread Dressing – Chardonnay One of my favorite wine pairings for anything with corn in it is Chardonnay. I enjoyed a fantastic unoaked Chardonnay from California, and I still remember how well the flavors of the luscious Chardonnay match the sweet creaminess of corn. This is a no-brainer pairing.

etc. for her | November 2015 45

#6 Sausage and Sour Dough Stuffing (with Cranberry Sauce) This is a perfect example of when condiments dictate the pairing. The richer and heavier the stuffing, the bigger and bolder the wine needs to be. Zinfandel is a natural fit for this portion of the feast.

#7 Herb Roasted Turkey – Valpolicella

Happy Thanksgiving

#8 Pumpkin Pie – Moscato d’Asti Similar to the butternut squash soup, texture is the important element in this dessert. This has a sweet, creamy, and fruity quality to it, which is better paired with like-flavored wines.

This year, don’t drink one-dimensionally, pick a variety of wines to pair with all of the different flavors on your menu. This way, you will not only augment the food you serve, but you will also satisfy the different palates sitting at your table. Happy Thanksgi-vino! Carpe Vino!

Unsure of whether you should pair your turkey with white or red? Very few dishes in the world cry out for Valpolicella like the classic Thanksgiving Day turkey. If you are not able to find it or are not in the mood for an Italian wine (seriously, who’s NOT in the mood for an Italian?) look for a lighter bodied Pinot Noir from California.

Easy Ways to Nurture Yourself BY: SANFORD HEALTH

64 mind – body – spirit |

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

T

aking care of yourself is just as important as a healthy diet and daily exercise. While our busy schedules can often mean our own needs are placed on the back burner, taking time on a regular basis to allow yourself time to relax, re-energize and re-focus helps you to be able to give your best consistently.

Here are ten easy – and guilt free – ways to nurture yourself while you nurture others.

1. Find private time each day.

3. Take a short walk.

Quiet time is good for you - even if it’s only for a few moments. Finding quiet time to reflect, relax, rest and renew can help prevent burnout. No one wins if you hit a wall.

Try to get out in the daytime to soak in the healing property of sunlight. It’s amazing what even 20 minutes outside will do for your mindset. Take this time to work through any challenges and regain a calm, content state of mind.

2. Have a special spot for your private time.

4. Connect with a friend.

Having a designated spot for your quiet time can get your mind to relax faster. With a designated spot, your mind already knows what is expected when you go there.

Schedule time in your calendar to call or write (email) a friend. When you’re busy with family obligations and day-today living, it can be easy to put friends at the bottom of your list. Friendships

7. Strike a pose.

Learn two to three yoga poses. Yoga is an excellent way to quickly refocus and re-energize, and also gain flexibility and strength and potentially lose a little weight.

8. Breathe.

A few deep breaths can do a body good. Physiologically and emotionally taking deep intentional breaths can bring you back into balance. This can be done almost anywhere, making it easy to work into your routine.

9. S-t-r-e-t-c-h.

Take a few moments to stretch your arms, legs, back and neck. Stretching

helps to maintain good flexibility and posture, release tension, and reduce your aches and pains.

10. Grab a journal.

There are no rules for journaling and writing can be a great way to release frustrations and fears, or remember captured memories. It can also help you clarify your thoughts and feelings, and get to know yourself better.

But about 10 years ago, something happened. Dee noticed her legs were tired and thought something was happening to her nerve endings that made her feel like something was crawling in her leg. Sometimes it felt like pins and needles.

It was disrupting her sleep. “I was tossing and turning constantly,” said Dee. “It was affecting my husband’s sleep, too.”

For those who don’t recognize these symptoms, Dee suffered from what is known as “restless leg syndrome” or RLS. It affects about 10% of the population, mostly women in their 50s, and is a neurological condition characterized by unpleasant and painful sensations, like those Dee experienced, and an irresistible urge to move the leg.

Maddeningly, lying down activates the symptoms and, left untreated, RLS can cause fatigue and exhaustion, impair memory and concentration, and make travel difficult.

Dee did seek treatment. “I tried every kind of medication,” said Dee. “But I didn’t like how they made me feel—and they didn’t help that much.” But there was something worse. “I had terrible dreams.” Her life was becoming a nightmare.

Dee stopped taking medicine and found a surprising treatment: acupuncture. And it worked.

Life, as it happens, takes unforeseen turns and sometimes what you need is unexpectedly at hand. Dee set up an appointment for acupuncture with K.C. Chang, MD, a physiatrist specializing in

non-surgical treatment of the spine at Orthopedic Institute. Twenty five years ago he integrated acupuncture into his practice. He is one of a few medical doctors practicing acupuncture in the state of South Dakota. Dr. Chang, who has treated about 20 patients for RLS began to treat her. Dee said things got “progressively better with each session until I felt I didn’t need it anymore.”

Indeed, one day, no more pins and needles. Which is ironic since acupuncture uses needles to stimulate “meridians,” or energy pathways, in order to modulate the neurological states that apparently cause RLS. Ironically, later, after Dee had knee surgery, the RLS returned. Again: Dr. Chang and acupuncture to the rescue.

Once again, life is good.

ocated just 45 miles west of Detroit and 35 miles north of the Ohio border and home to The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor is consistently ranked as one of the best college towns in the country. However, there is more to this city than academia.

There is something for everybody to explore, including eclectic shops, hands-on exhibits and art museums, vibrant night spots, and ethnic restaurants.

It’s a sight to see by just venturing out and about and walking around the beautiful landscape and sightseeing the historical buildings in Ann Arbor. Anson Brown Building is located on Broadway, and is the oldest commercial building in the city, built in the 1830s.

by U of M architecture professor William LeBaron Jenney, and was built in 1853. It is still owned by Delta Kappa Epsilon. These are just a few examples of the many buildings you will see that remain in the same condition they were in back in the 1800s.

To enjoy the outdoors a bit more, explore Nichols Arboretum, known as “the Arb”, a 123-acre site which displays panoramic views, nature trails, gardens, and a path along the Huron River, where you can stroll through the many trees, both native and exotic to Michigan. Also, visit the Exhibit Museum of Natural History and get a glimpse of a planetarium and some displays featuring fossils, dinosaurs, minerals, and more.

On Central Campus, the open space is called the Diag, and it’s a relaxing spot to enjoy the day. Sidewalks here connect the academic buildings, benches, and the entire student culture and scene. Also located on Central Campus is Burton Memorial Tower, home to a 55-bell Baird Carillon. Climb to the top and hear the bells being played throughout the week, and enjoy a quality view of the campus from above. The library’s Reading Room has breathtaking stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and oak wainscoting.

The University of Michigan Museum of Art has over 18,000 works of art for everyone to see. Those who prefer medieval and ancient art can cross the street and visit the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, which features more than 100,000 objects from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

“I never tell parents to cut out sugary treats completely, but it is good to limit it,” Boote said.

A

ny parent who has browsed the supermarket with a child in tow knows that sugar is everywhere —cereal, yogurt, fruit snacks, cookies, prepared lunches, juice. It’s an endless litany of, “Mooom, can I get … ?”

The opportunities are endless, but the effects of a child who eats too much sugar can not only lead to a serious case of the wiggles, it also has the potential for long-term consequences such as weight gain and increased risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and even heart issues, said Rochelle Boote, MD, a pediatrician at Avera Medical Group 69th and Cliff.

Being overweight can also have emotional and social effects ranging from bullying to depression and feeling socially isolated. “Those aren’t things you want to be worrying about as

a teenager,” Boote said.

Sugar is naturally in foods like fruits, vegetables, grains and milk. But many processed foods ranging from juices and cookies to cereal and even pasta sauce have added sugars and sweeteners. The goal for children should be to eat no more than 3 to 4 teaspoons of sugar daily in foods or beverages, said Kalli Kurtenbach, RD LN, Diabetes Educator at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center. But according to the American Heart Association, the typical 4 to 8 year old consumes 21 teaspoons a day.

Those numbers are contributing to the growing number of overweight and obese children. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of children and adolescents in

etc. for her | November 2015 81

the United States are overweight.

The answer may seem obvious, but it’s not always easy to follow. Hey, who doesn’t want an occasional cookie after dinner?

“I never tell parents to cut out sugary treats completely, but it is good to limit it,” Boote said. “Instead of making it an everyday occurrence, limit it to special occasions.”

That means keeping sugary treats out of reach from children, but the best solution is not buying it at all.

Kurtenbach also said parents should avoid rewarding children with food and instead choose non-food rewards and activities.

Other tips include: • Read labels and watch portions. Foods might have more sugar than you expect and packaged snacks might also have more than one serving.

• S ubstitute milk or water for juice or sports drinks.

Remember, water is adequate in most cases unless your child or teenager is very active in sports.

PARENTING & PREGNANCY

• Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables to cut down on calories.

• Limit snacking and grazing, especially right before dinner.

Boote also said parents can find a happy balance. “A little bit of cheese on your broccoli isn’t horrible and smoothies are a great way to add veggies into the diet.”

As always, parents are a child’s most important role model, so setting a good example is key to fostering lifelong healthy habits.

“I encourage parents to have fruits and veggies around so that kids can be exposed to them,” Kurtenbach said. “They’re watching you and what you eat. Try to set the environment appropriately.”

Thankful Turkey Materials: Empty toilet paper tube, small paper plate, small paper cup, googly eyes, glue, scissors, black markers, construction paper in assorted colors, small paintbrush, and craft paint in orange, black, and brown.

Instructions: Paint the bottom of the plate orange, the outside of the paper cup black, and the toilet paper tube brown.

Let them all completely dry, then glue the toilet paper tube to the middle of the orange side of the paper plate so that the end of the tube allows it to stand up on its own. Create the turkey’s face by adding googly eyes and a construction paper beak to the top portion of the tube. You can get creative here and add a top hat, a waddle, or whatever you wish to the body. Using your choice of colors, cut feather shapes from construction paper, creating about 8-12 feathers per turkey. Write down some of the things you are thankful for on each feather.

Glue the base of each feather to the unpainted side of the paper plate, so that they fan out around the turkey body. Use it as a centerpiece to remind your whole family what you all have to be thankful for this year!

Thanksgiving Placemats Materials: Chalk cloth, backing fabric, bias tape or similar binding, white paint pen, chalk, and scissors.

Instructions: Cut pieces out for your placemat, 14 1.2” x 18” of each fabric. Place the pieces together, wrong sides facing each other, then sew your binding around the edges of the placemat. Using a white paint pen, write a message across the top of your placemat. Choose a message that encourages your kids to write or draw what they are thankful for. Once the paint pen message dries, rub a piece of chalk all over the placemat to prepare the chalk cloth for writing on, then wipe all of the chalk off with a damp cloth. The placemat is now ready to write on with chalk.

Make an entire set of these to bring out during Thanksgiving festivities.

FOR KIDS

Pumpkin Pie Spinner Materials: Two paper plates, small paint brush, light brown paint, bowl, orange construction paper, scissors, glue, brad fastener, and a black marker.

Instructions: Using a small paint brush, paint the edges of the paper plate a pie-crust color in light brown paint. Using a bowl with an opening about the same size as the inside of the paper plate, trace a circle onto orange construction paper, then carefully cut around the circle. Glue the circle to the middle of the paper plate and let dry. Attach the other plain paper plate to the back of your painted “pie” with a brad fastener, directly in the middle. Cut out a piece of “pie” from the top plate, being careful not to get too close to the middle. Write down a big message on the orange construction paper, such as “I am thankful for…” or “I’m blessed with…” and spin the top plate around to write various things down on the inside of the middle plate that you are thankful for. Spin the top plate around to see all of the different things you and your family appreciate.

Thankful Clothespin Wreath Materials: Wire wreath frame, clothespins, acrylic paints in fall colors, sponge brushes, wooden heart shape, ribbon, and a black marker.

Instructions: Have your kids use sponge brushes to paint the clothespins various colors with acrylic paint and lay them out to completely dry. Attach the clothespins to the wire wreath frame by clipping them onto the inner-most ring. The length of the clothespins should cover up the rest of the wire rings on the wreath frame. Continue to do this until the entire frame is covered with clothespins. To fill a 12-inch frame, about 53 clothespins will be needed. To help explain the point behind the wreath, hang a wooden heart shape in the middle of the wreath using a piece of ribbon. Write “I am thankful for…” onto the heart with a marker, rubber stamps, or inscribe the wood with a wood-burner if you want to get fancy. Use the same ribbon to tie a fine-point black marker to the bottom of the frame, and then use a piece of ribbon to hang the entire wreath up on your door or wherever you plan to display it. Encourage house-guests to write what they are thankful for on each clothespin as they come to visit! It will be fun to go through all of the things people appreciate at the end of the year when the wreath is completely full of blessings.

he “perfect” Thanksgiving starts sailing through the minds of many, just as the cranberries and the canned pumpkin go on sale. There are a plethora of magazines featuring perfection and Pinterest posts floating on every social media site. Ideas start swirling of dazzling centerpieces, pies, pies and more pies. Plus don’t forget the newest and best way to stuff, unstuff and re-stuff that 20 lb. turkey. The creativity is endless and overwhelming, to say the least. We often build lofty goals of a scene built on a Hollywood set. How quickly reality sets in.

One year my BFF Beth, invited a mini population to her Thanksgiving celebration that included that 20 lb. turkey. Of course she had all the fixin’s. It looked like dinner was on schedule until the top burner in her oven died. So, for what

seemed to be 12 hours, they had to pull the turkey out and rotate it every hour like a rotisserie. Needless to say, her guests went home with tummies filled with stuffing instead of turkey. It was finally ready to eat by midnight.

Then there are the epic disaster stories of forgetting the sugar. Forgetting it in the whipped cream, the pumpkin pie, the apple pie, the pecan pie and the homemade apple cider. My favorite is when my ex boyfriend’s sister in-law Mary tried to get all Martha and tried her hand at a “from scratch” pumpkin pie.

She was devastated when she pulled it out from the oven and it was green! She forgot the sugar too.

Horror stories include crunchy mashed potatoes, uninvited guests and undercooked turkeys. They cannot compare with realizing you forgot to “clean out” the turkey. Lisa, a friend of mine did this and it was a total loss as plastic wrapped gizzards melted into the meat. Plus it smelled really bad.

The point is, that even after hours, days, weeks, and even months of planning the perfect holiday, It rarely ends up “perfect”.

Each and every year since I started cooking Thanksgiving dinners, I have stood over under-cooked potatoes, clumpy gravy or pumpkin something that made me cry. Sometimes it was tears of laughter and other times, tears of disappointment. I have been easily disheveled by running out of forks, mismatched plates and buying the wrong ingredients. The joy had quickly been depleted by trying to create a perfect holiday for everyone to enjoy. It took small voices with wide eyes peering over the counter with excitement to grasp that even in the mess I had created, I was blessed.

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender

by Leslye Walton Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava—in all other ways a normal girl—is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others.

With the help of his grandfather, he might just be able to use his kite-making skills to scare the bandits away and save the han. Will Yazul’s courage and cleverness make his father proud?

Still, Sally is able to sit near the whale’s massive eye and tell him he’s beautiful and strong, and that she will miss him no matter what happens.

The Harvest

S

BY DICK ROGEN, DVM Horizon Pet Care, 1100 East Holly Boulevard Brandon, SD 57005 • (605) 582-8445

ince the time I grew up on the farm, fall has been my favorite season. It is the time of harvest. The crops have matured and are being combined, hay is stacked for a long winter and the calves are ready to go to a new home. It is also the time when a farmer looks into the mirror and decides if they have done the best they could this year.

The lives we live are also a harvest in many ways. It is the summation of our lives from both the good and the bad. I am not sure that our pets think in the same way, but their involvement in our lives can certainly influence our outcomes. I think pets have their own special abilities to get us through the tough times.

I have been fortunate to have had many enjoyable and interesting pets. They certainly have added to my life and made it more meaningful. There also were those times when the opposite was true. I think I individually kept the paper towel companies in business!

Aside from the carpet cleanings, new shoes and loss of sleep, I am thankful for their presence in my life.

More importantly I have been blessed to be a Veterinarian. I have experienced the privilege of meeting and taking care of so many pets and the people connected to them.

PETS

I have learned more from them, than I ever could give back.

The world is mostly filled with kind and compassionate people.

They also have some pretty neat beasties along with them. I am thankful for my harvest!

This Thanksgiving I hope that you take time to enjoy your own personal harvest. It is that time of the year to relax and enjoy your accomplishments. It should not be measured in the number of dollars you have in the bank, but the great experiences and relationships.

The smiles you have created, and in the case of Veterinarians, the number of tails that continue to wag for another year. If you gathered all of your friends, family and co-workers in one group, you would realize what a great year it has been.

I also think that Thanksgiving is also the best time of the year to say Thank You to the people and pets in your life. Those few simple words mean so much more than a present, gift card or toy. And if you have had a great year, hugs work too.

Please side step the craziness of Christmas shopping and enjoy the blessings that God has provided. Take your favorite pet on an early walk, take a nap and keep the leftovers out of the pets reach. I hope your harvest is wonderful this year. Happy Thanksgiving.

SENIOR PETS – Aging is not a Disease

Signs of Illness – Don’t dismiss these symptoms as a normal part of aging.

Cats & dogs, on average, become “senior pets” at 7 years of age. Some common illnesses seen in senior pets include: arthritis/joint disease, kidney disease, thyroid conditions, diabetes, heart disease & cancer. Our older pets no longer have to suffer through these diseases, however early detection is the key. Many of these illnesses can be treated or managed to help prevent progression of the disease, or changes can be made to make your pet comfortable and happy.

Routine wellness exams, bloodwork to monitor organ function & radiographs or ultrasounds can help detect many of these illnesses in the early stages.

• Change in weight (especially weight loss) • Change in appetite (usually less, but hyperthyroid cats will eat more) • Drinking more water • Changes in urination & defecation (changes in frequency, color, amount) • New lumps, bumps or swellings (or changes in existing ones) • Weakness or sudden collapse • Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping • Bad odor in mouth or drooling • Seizures • Disorientation

Ceremonial Dance Circle

BY BRUCE BLAKE

D

Ceremonial Dance Circle Sherman Park, Sioux Falls

r. W. H. Over, South Dakota’s first archeologist, sketched maps of two Omaha earth-hut villages in present-day lower Sherman Park.

He also outlined a 51-feet in diameter Omaha dance bowl or circle in the upper park.

Formal ceremonial dances evolved among many prehistoric native cultures. Early Euramerican observers recorded a variety of ritualistic dances among the Plains Indians. Dances by warriors before and after warfare, initiation dances, buffalo hunting dances, and worship dances such as the sun dance were noted. Other dances honored animals including the eagle, rabbit, and bear.

Most dances were performed in a large circle and only by men. Music provided with flutes, drums, gourd rattles, and bone or wood whistles accompanied chanting by the dancers and drummers.

In 2005 Renee Boen of the South Dakota Archeological Research Center reviewed Dr. Over’s original map. Although no trace of the dance circle exists today, she determined that it had been located 40 yards northeast of this spot.

DEDICATED IN 2006 BY THE MINNEHAHA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THE STUDENTS OF PATRICK HENRY MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THE SIOUX FALLS BOARD OF PRESERVATION.
