JuLiana’s Boutique – Where Friendship Meets Fashion

BY MARY MICHAELS PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

J

ulie Haagenson and Lana Olshove have a friendship spanning more than two decades, as they worked in their careers in the financial and health care industries, respectively. Over the years, one of their many shared interests was a love of shopping.

After retiring from their previous careers, they started dreaming about opening a business together. They began putting ideas to paper over the past year, and the result became JuLiana’s Boutique La Femme, a new upscale boutique that recently opened in the Historic Harvester Building in downtown Sioux Falls.

As you might guess, the store’s brand was formed from the pair’s first names.

“We’ve both loved fashion forever,” says Haagenson, “and it’s so exciting to do this together.”

While they had downtown Sioux Falls as their vision, Olshove adds that finding the right spot became a challenge.

“Every time we saw a space we liked, it was snapped up before we could do anything about it.”

While they were having lunch at The Market trying to figure out their next steps, they discovered there was potentially space coming available there at the Harvester Building. It was a flurry of activity after that, as they called upon all the advice and support from a diverse support network including a financial planner,

designers, and other small business owners in the community.

“We have been overwhelmed by the support from our family, friends and other businesses,” Haagenson says. “The network of local businesses in Sioux Falls is incredible, and every one of them wants other businesses to do well. We got help with everything from store design to merchandising and everything in between.”

The great thing about this supportive environment, they say, is that it creates opportunities to help one another and cross-promote each other. If JuLiana’s doesn’t have something a customer is looking for, they can suggest another store. The owners also are looking forward to in-store promotions, such as the line of bath,

body and spa products they feature from Simply Perfect, which is located at the 8th and Railroad Center.

The store’s décor is history-meets-boutique, with exposed brick walls and duct work, hardwood floors, beautiful crystal chandeliers and beautiful draped changing rooms. Their attention to detail all focuses on giving customers a unique experience.

“Our customers can come in and find brands they won’t see in other places around town,” Haagenson explains. “We want them to come in and be able to see the items, touch the fabrics and even find a comfortable spot to sit and have a chat with friends.”

JuLiana’s carries clothing for daytime and evening from higher-

end brands such as Alice & Olivia, Laundry, Nicole Miller and Vince Camuto. They also have a funky corner of the store dedicated to leisure time, decorated with an Oakland Raiders motorcycle, rock legend-autographed electric guitars and a stunning color sketch of Joan Jett, signed by the rock icon herself. In that area, customers can find premium denim such as the “Instasculpt” jean

by DL1961 and James Jeans, as well as a line of “athleisure wear.”

The store also carries other items to help women create the perfect look, from Commando shapewear in a variety of styles, to jewelry and sparkly shoes perfect for cocktail parties or to wear with jeans.

One advantage the owners say they have with their location is the parking lot they share with The Market and other Harvester tenants.

“We already love being right next to The Market,” says Olshove.

“We are planning to do things like fashion shows and wine tastings with them, which will be so much fun.”

The two agree that their audience is probably the over 30, modern, mature woman. But, they say, that doesn’t mean there are fewer options for fashion.

“You can take a sleek dress and pair it with a jacket for the office,” says Haagenson, “and then without the jacket you are ready for your evening dinner out or cocktail party. Our pieces aren’t too trendy, so they are really classic additions to your wardrobe.”

This new boutique might be in a historic building, but the fashions are right with the times.

The

Tiffany Wilber Home

BY MARY MICHAELS PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

W

hen Tiffany Wilber bought her home in southern Sioux Falls two years ago, she wanted to create a fresh, more youthful look inside. As a mother of three teenage boys, however, she was also careful about sticking to a budget.

“The house itself was only 10 years old,” she says, “but there were a few things I wanted to update a bit to fit my style and my family’s needs. You can certainly spend a lot of money in a very short amount of time, so it’s important to be really thoughtful about it.”

Wilber says her approach was to invest a little more in things like furniture or light fixtures designed to last longer, and then you can fill in with accessories that are more budget-friendly.

Wilber grew up around Miller, South Dakota, which was home to her grandfather’s seed business. A Wilber’s Seed sack is part of the kitchen décor. It is a unique and sentimental part of the overall modern farmhouse look of the kitchen, with its cream colored cabinets, light brick backsplash and hardwood flooring.

Barn wood used for everything from the dining room table top, which came from the Sioux Falls Stockyards, to wall covering in

the bathroom, a mirror frame and a sliding door at the base of the stairs in the lower level.

She mixed old with new, metals with woods, and rustic with modern, both in furnishings and artwork throughout the house. “I’m definitely very eclectic,� says Wilber.

Around the barn wood dining table are cream-colored upholstered chairs with skirts that cover the legs. A repainted library cabinet with glass front doors holds glassware, and a rustic metal light fixture over the sink is adorned with crystal droplets.

Against one wall of the open dining and living area stands a tall cabinet with rows of open, numbered cubbies that Wilber repurposed into a wine rack.

The living room has comfortable side chairs and a sofa that face the corner fireplace and a trio of more contemporary, floral art

pieces on the wall. There is also a nod to history in the living room, where a stack of old books sits on a side table.

“Those came from my mom’s side of the family,” she explains.

“We all were able to go to my grandparents’ home and pick out some books we wanted. I love being able to have things that are reminders of family.”

The upper level also has a room that serves as an office, either for her own work, or occasionally for any one of the boys doing homework. Wilber’s master suite is across the hall, providing her a beautiful “retreat” space. One of her favorite finds for her room was a pair of wall sconces that have glass coverings over

While she calls the upstairs her space, the lower level definitely has a more masculine feel for the boys. Before you get down the

stairs, though, two great conversation pieces catch your attention – the tall, framed colorful abstract art on the wall, and the oversized chandelier with unique bent metal arms.

The family room and the boys’ rooms honor favorite baseball (the Angels) and football (the Bears) teams, from wall colors in the bedrooms to shadow boxes that hold pictures and other souvenirs from games that Wilber and the boys have attended.

Although Wilbur has been able to incorporate a number of interesting and eclectic pieces throughout the home, none of them outshine the family pictures that appear as framed prints on tables or the large canvas print on the wall. It is obvious that these three boys are the center of her world, and while time passes much too quickly, they continue to build special memories in their home together.

IS DINING IN

the New Dining Out?

BY JIM MATHIS

I

t’s been a hectic couple of weeks. Oh, who am I kidding, it’s been a hectic couple of months. Last night I left the office about seven, and grabbed a take-out pizza from the place up the street on the way home. The night before, I was running errands after work; more take out. Saturday night a fundraiser at the Washington Pavilion, Friday night we reheated leftover pizza that was delivered on Monday. Thursday was dinner out, Wednesday night I had a meeting after work and more take out. Tuesday night was a quick meal thrown together. In the last week, we had exactly one night for a nice quiet dinner, Sunday.

MAN IN THE KITCHEN

Ah… Sunday night! No rush, no schedule, no interruptions.

Just the two of us (three if you count the dog). We had a simple meal at home; steaks on the grill, fresh asparagus from the farmers market, a side of cacio e pepe pasta, and a nice bottle of wine.

That was a perfect night.

But it seems like those nights when I can spend a little time figuring out what to eat, planning the meal and enjoying the time in the kitchen have become fewer and farther between. I’m sure at one point in my life I would have thought a life of dinners out on the town and a vast array of takeout options would have sounded

like the perfect way to live. And don’t get me wrong, I love dinners out. But these days it seems like we really treasure the nights we can spend at home.

The shift in my mindset has come slowly over the years. When I was younger, the idea of having someone else cook for me seemed like the ultimate luxury. I choose from the menu, the server brings a hot fresh meal and cold refreshing beverage. That must be the way the elite live, or so I thought. As I’ve gotten older (and wiser) I’ve learned it is less luxurious and often tedious. Now I realize a nice dinner at home is our new going out.

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.

etc. for her | June 2016 33

I think it really hit home a few years ago when we were having the kitchen remodeled. For about four weeks we had no stove, the fridge was in the living room and the microwave and toaster were our only cooking devices. We couldn’t even get to the grill because of the construction. So during that time, we ate at restaurants or from the limited opportunities we had for takeout and delivery. When those are your choices, you get sick of pizza and Chinese pretty quickly.

But the kitchen project is done; it has been for a couple of years. And I really like spending time in there. I enjoy researching and trying new dishes. I enjoy the cutting, peeling, chopping and prepping. I find a little time in the kitchen is a good chance to unwind and clear my head and focus on just the right balance of spices and seasonings.

So, at this point in my life, the nights I look forward to are the ones I can spend in the kitchen, whether it’s just for me and my beloved or cooking for a bunch of family and friends. I get to play with knives and fire and food. That’s my idea of fun.

I know I’m going to hear from a bunch of people saying they would love the chance to order Chinese or spend a night out at their favorite restaurant. And I’m ready to take that heat. If we talk it through (how about we meet Tuesday night after work to talk about it, I’ll grab some takeout on the way home?) we’ll probably determine that the perfect balance is somewhere in between.

A few home cooked meals plus a couple of nights where someone else does the cooking might be just right. As with so many things, moderation seems to be the key.

With a little luck, tonight I can throw a couple of pork chops on the grill, make a quick salad and find some time for a little conversation over dinner. Not the perfect night at home, but I’ll take it. Whether you’re at a restaurant or at home, do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

Napa Valley Dreamin’

BY RICCARDO TARABELSI

aking up from a deep sleep, I was confused and disoriented.

I quickly realized that this is what always happens to me the first night I sleep at a hotel. I looked over at my sleeping wife, who was as tranquil as a lake in the middle of the summer. Still somewhat startled in the darkness of the night, I walked over to our hotel room doors that led out to our deck. I stepped outside for some fresh air and inhaled deeply; I was intently aware of my breathing. I had the knowledge that with each breath I took, I was drinking in Napa Valley air, the same air that blankets some of the most sought-after grapes in the entire country. At this point I was fully awake, but it felt like a dream. As a former wine distributor, I had traveled to Sonoma a few times, but this was my first time in Napa Valley. I had always heard that Napa was too commercialized and not as quaint and friendly as other wine regions in California.

After spending four days in Yountville with great friends who hosted us, I can tell you, with complete confidence, there is no other place like it on the planet.

First stop, Bouchon. In October 1998, four years after his successful debut in Napa Valley with The French Laundry, Chef Thomas Keller introduced Bouchon, offering authentic French bistro fare with Keller’s unfailing attention to detail in both ingredients and presentation. There are many things about this restaurant that are intriguing, from the antique light fixtures and the mosaic floor to the hand-painted mural. Upon arriving at my

seat, I looked down to find a delicate piece of brown paper that unfolded like a simple origami square into Bouchon’s menu. The Keller touch here is unmistakable. Since its opening, Bouchon has consistently received the highest of accolades from both the food industry and international press. The restaurant has been

awarded a one-star rating from the France-based Michelin Guide San Francisco, Bay Area & Wine Country, a three-and-a-half star rating from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, as well as a three star rating from the San Francisco Chronicle. It’s a one-of-akind experience meant to be savored, and savor it we did. From

Street in Yountville. Calling it a “stop” seems inappropriate. Let’s call it a “stay” at the tasting room. Jessup Cellars offers a complete wine tasting experience, meaning it’s not just about sipping on some really well made wine. It’s about pairing selections with artisanal cheeses and nuts. It’s about wine education. It’s about vine education. But it’s really about people. Jessup Cellars has one of the most knowledgeable and friendly teams in the business. By the end of our “stay,” we were hugging staff members like we were saying goodbye to relatives that were leaving too soon. As reluctant as we were to leave, especially after tasting through Jessup Cellars’ Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet, Table for Four, and Juel, it was time for our next culinary encounter at one of the most charming places in Yountville.

As we entered Bistro Jeanty, we were greeted by a jovial man by the name of Roger. Roger’s mission is simple: he loves taking care of people. It was evident by his constant smile and swiftness in his movements that this man lives to serve. The chef and owner, Phillippe Jeanty, was born in the Champagne region of France and grew up around agricultural influences that surround the rural communities that grow and make champagne like Moet & Chandon. After moving to California in 1977, Chef Jeanty made a name for himself over the years, and opened Bistro Jeanty in 1998. Their tag line is the following, “In every day French life, it is the Bistro that is woven into the daily pattern of meals and celebrations. The Bistro is that little neighborhood restaurant where they know who you are, greet you warmly, and serve you satisfying foods that change with the seasons and define regional homey French cuisine.” I couldn’t agree more. The Pinot Noir we drank that night was a perfect pairing with my salmon, but the service is what kept me engaged in the atmosphere of the restaurant. Couple all of this with incredible company with whom to share the experience, and I again felt like I was dreaming.

Add in properties like Bottega, Addendum, Pancha’s (a can’t miss destination dive bar in Yountville, sitting between high-end tasting rooms and Michelin star restaurants) and an intimate farmhouse experience hosted by Handwritten Wines, I urge you to find a way to get to Napa Valley. Earning the unofficial title of “Culinary Capital of the Napa Valley,” Yountville is that great escape you’ve been looking for. And for an extra special treat, call Jessup Cellars beforehand at (707) 944-5620 to book a tasting and tell them you’re from South Dakota. You won’t be sorry. In fact, Jessup Cellars refers to South Dakotans as the “605s,” a term of endearment for all of their South Dakota friends. Start planning and get to the Napa Valley. Your dream awaits. the steamed mussels, to the fresh array of oysters, to the steak frites, the carafes of fine Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley complemented our meals extraordinarily well.

No trip to Napa Valley would be complete without a stop at the Jessup Cellars tasting room, on the north end of Washington

Broken Heart Syndrome:

Concern over husband’s heart condition lands wife in the ER.

BY DONNA FARRIS, AVERA HEALTH

H

ave you ever felt so worried, sad or distraught that you felt like your heart was breaking?

Most the time, it doesn’t go beyond an emotional feeling. But the day after her husband, Mike, was admitted to the Avera Heart Hospital for triple bypass surgery, Maria McKnight experienced a real broken heart.

Mike, although only in his 40s, had a history of “through-theroof” high blood pressure – so high that the nurse would often get the doctor whenever he had it checked. “I used to laugh it off, but it’s not so much of a joke anymore,” he said.

Mike developed symptoms, and went to his doctor requiring evaluation. He was referred for neurologic and further cardiac evaluation. Tests revealed he’d had a small stroke, but that he also had three blocked coronary arteries. He needed immediate openheart surgery to save his life.

Having been with Mike for 25 years, Maria was concerned about the future. “I couldn’t imagine what our kids would do without him.

He’s a phenomenal dad,” she said.

The next day, Maria was at home with her father when she began experiencing chest pain. She initially thought she might be having a panic attack. “But when I sat down, the pain moved up into my jaw and I began to feel short of breath. I knew it must be something

Heart to heart: Mike and Maria McKnight recover from heart trouble together.

more serious.” She made the short trip from her home in Tea to the local clinic. “By the time I got there, I had called 911.”

While Mike was recovering upstairs in a patient room from open-heart surgery at the Avera Heart Hospital, Maria was being treated downstairs in the emergency room. She was diagnosed with broken heart syndrome.

Broken heart syndrome is a real condition, first described in 1990, by doctors in Japan. It was named “takotsubo cardiomyopathy” after a narrow-necked vessel with a larger, rounded bottom that is used to trap octopus.

In the United States, doctors most commonly refer to it as stress cardiomyopathy.

“What happens is the left ventricle of the heart balloons out,” said David Nagelhout, MD, Cardiologist with North Central Heart and the Avera Heart Hospital. “The heart’s image on ultrasound resembles the shape of that Japanese octopus trap. To the patient, it feels like a normal heart attack, and EKG readings are similar to those of a heart attack. And, like a normal heart attack, it can cause heart failure or even death.”

What’s different is there is no artery blockage, so treatment with balloon angioplasty or a stent is not needed. The condition is usually treated with medications only, and with rest and time, the heart muscle dysfunction recovers.

Those who suffer “broken heart syndrome” are typically middle-aged women under intense emotional stress – such as the death or illness of a loved one, news of a serious accident, a teenage child in trouble with the law or the breakup of a marriage. “It’s believed to be related to a sudden surge in stress hormones,” Nagelhout said.

Whatever the cause, it’s important to take it seriously when symptoms like chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, and/or pain in the arm or jaw occur. “You can’t ignore it. The most damage occurs in the first few hours,” Nagelhout said.

If your pain is due to a traditional heart attack caused by artery blockage, getting treatment as quickly as possible can mean less damage to the heart; it may even mean the difference between life and death.

Mike and Maria completed cardiac rehab together, cheering each other on in their recovery. Now, they have joined a gym and continue their regular workouts. Their 14-year-old daughter also helps. “She doesn’t let us break the rules,” Maria said. Together, the couple have lost more than 100 pounds, “and we’re not stopping anytime soon,” she added.

“We’ve been through a long road together. Our marriage is stronger than ever, and our faith is stronger,” Mike said.

Now their hearts are stronger, too.

Everyone Brad at OI!

BY ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE

A

sk almost any athlete in the region, and if they have had an injury, they have probably been to Brad Pfeifle at Orthopedic Institute. Brad is a true ambassador of Orthopedic Institute. He is the Vice President of Sports Medicine and Rehab Services and leads over 30 people in his departments.

According to orthopedic surgeon, Peter Looby, “Brad is the best athletic trainer I’ve known in 40 years of being treated by and working closely with trainers from high school to the NFL. No one individual is responsible for more internal referrals to OI than Brad. Sometimes I think he literally knows everyone in the state. If you walk through a crowd at a sporting event with Brad, it’s likely to take 40 minutes to travel 100 feet because everyone stops to talk to him.”

Whether you are a weekend warrior, a high school athlete or you earn a living playing a sport, if you have come to Brad for help, he worked your butt off, gave you great advice that no one else had given you, got you feeling and performing like you never have before, and the best part is that he is someone you now call a friend!

We sound better than ever during the workday!

Mark Ovenden knows that first hand. He was playing racquetball on a Sunday with a good friend who happened to blow out his Achilles. I called Brad on a Sunday and even though he had never met my friend, got him in a boot that night and in surgery Monday morning. That’s what Brad does…he makes sure everyone else is okay!

But during the month of June, when we honor the Dads, we want to let you know more about Brad and the job he is the most proud of…and that is raising his two daughters, Sophie and Olivia. Brad says it is hard to talk about his girls without tearing up. Raising my girls has many similarities to working with athletes.

Some days they need a kick in the pants, and some days they need a hug. They put up with me being gone a lot with my work and never complain about it. My wife and I cherish all of the great memories they have given us and look forward to all of the new adventures. I am so proud of my girls because they have become such loving, caring and passionate young women.

When you ask the Pfeifle girls about their Dad, they just light up with enthusiasm and love for him. “He is one of the most influential people in our lives. He works so hard, and when he comes home, he always has time for us. People ask us all of the time if he is the same at home as he is at work, and we tell them he is the same genuine, fun-loving guy! We love his motto that we’re sure his patients hear all of the time, and that is ‘when in doubt, knees out’, but the saying we love hearing from him every day is I love you.”

With so many options available, an easy way to begin narrowing down the process for football, for example, is to decide if tackle or flag football leagues are best for your athlete. Coach Riggs suggests watching your child when playing with others. Is he able

Safety is always a major concern for parents – and should be equally as important to the organization offering the training program, camp or clinic.

Sport Clinics, Camps or Training Programs: What’s the difference?

CLINICS: One- or two-day event that allows athletes to focus on and develop specific skills in particular sports.

(Tackling clinic for football, pitching clinic for baseball, serving clinic or volleyball) CAMPS: An extended version of a clinic, allowing athletes to focus on improving their skills over a few weeks.

Athletes can enhance their understanding and endurance in a particular sport, and also try out a sport without committing to a whole season.

TRAINING PROGRAMS: A more concentrated, long-term program for athletes of all ages and abilities.

Small group or one-on-one sessions are offered. Athletes can take their performance to the next level in a safe, controlled environment.

measures in place,” Coach Riggs recommends. “Concussions, in particular, are definitely in the spotlight, so it’s important kids are always protected.”

There are a variety of ways to make safety checks. Often parents may observe a training session and see who is present during the sessions (medical provider, athletic trainer, coach, EMT, etc.) and what safety equipment is regularly used. They can also contact the specific organization to get those questions answered.

These camps, clinics and training programs can also help keep your athlete safer from potential injuries. The additional instruction and practice can help make correct movements second nature, which is key to reducing injury risks.

Bigger Benefits Of course, any of these activities are beneficial to your child’s ability to hone their athletic skills, but it’s more than that. While they can learn tackling skills or better ball handling skills, they can also learn about self-esteem, teamwork and the importance of hard work.

“Sports truly can help your child learn leadership skills and the understanding of working together with other players toward a common goal,” Coach Riggs says. “These camps, clinics and training programs also reinforce those values, which is always good.”

So whether you have a child simply interested in learning a new sport, honing skills for a better season next year, or getting noticed by college scouts, there is a program available. Before you fill out that registration, always keep your child’s best interest in mind. This will help ensure you and your child are happy with the results.

FOR FATHER’S DAY

BY JESSICA WEISCHEDEL

Superhero Painting Materials: A blank white canvas, scrapbook letter stickers, paint brushes, Mod Podge, blue, red, and tan washable paint, a black Sharpie, a paper plate, and wipes for quick and easy cleanup.

Instructions: Start with the “body”, which will be the footprint, pointing down on the canvas in blue paint. Next, add the “cape”, which is the handprint coming out from the right side of the footprint, in red paint. Use a paint brush and paint a small circle in tan paint at the top of the foot (above the heel).

This will be the head of the superhero. Use blue paint to paint some arms coming from the left side of the foot print, then add a hand in tan paint. Let the canvas dry completely before using a Sharpie to draw a face and some hair on the head. Using scrapbook stickers or your handwriting, spell out “You Are My Superhero” wherever you would like to on the canvas. Feel free to add any embellishments you want, such as clouds, a sunshine, or let your kids decide! Once it is all done, cover the canvas in Mod Podge in order to seal the stickers and any embellishments you added.

FOR KIDS

Following Footsteps Poem Materials: Printer or Sharpie, white paper, washable paint in two different colors, paintbrush, and construction paper in bright color.

Instructions: Onto a white piece of paper, print out or write out the words to the poem below. Next, use a paintbrush to spread washable paint onto the bottoms of Dad’s shoe, then carefully press it down over the poem.

Once Dad’s footprint is dry, paint the bottom of your child’s foot with a different color and press that down over Dad’s print. Glue the white paper onto a brightly colored piece of construction paper to create a fun border. Add an adorable photo of your child wearing Daddy’s shoes and you have yourself a very touching Father’s Day gift!

Walk a Little Slower Daddy “Walk a Little slower, Daddy.” said a little child so small.

I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they’re hard to see; So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want to be.

Then I will have a little child who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!

– Bobbie Norman

Tractor Card

Personalized Mug

Materials: Washable ink pad in the color you want your tractor to be, white cardstock paper, wipes for easy clean up, a pencil and compass for drawing circles, a Sharpie.

Materials: Gloss enamel paint, a foam brush, a black paint pen, a plain white mug, a baking sheet, and an oven.

Instructions: Washable ink pads can work just as well as paint if you choose to go this route.

Choose the color your want your tractor to be and capture your child’s foot print on the pad, then press it down sideways facing right, onto the front of a vertically folded piece of white cardstock paper. Using a black marker, draw on the large wheel under the back of the footprint, and the small wheel under the front of the footprint. Add the details of the tractor to the top of the footprint, then add a cute message for Dad or Grandpa on the inside of the card!

Instructions: Using a foam brush, paint your child’s hand or foot print. Press your child’s handprint onto a plain mug. Using a black paint pen, write your message on the mug. Let the paint completely dry. Bake on a baking sheet in a non-preheated oven for 30 minutes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit and the paint will set. Hand wash the mugs, as the paint may wear off over time if you use the dishwasher!

Summer’s Great Escape

BY AMITY SHAY

J

une is best spent outside. Hopping on one foot, swinging while the wind blows through our hair and taking all 100% of nature’s glory in. Forgotten are the dark days of four walls, sweaters and white boards. Hello to the sun as it waves back while its light glitters between the trees.

Hello to camping trips, long bike rides and picnics under the sycamore trees. Hello roasted toasted marshmallows, nights that seem to never go dark and bright blue skies speckled with puffy white clouds.

Hello to summer’s great escape!

Whether you call it camping or glamping,

it is awesome. Gone is the 9 to 5, the mundane and the traffic-filled streets.

Gone is the time and place; a break in life’s rat race. A time when all you can hear is nature calling back at you, telling you to pull up a chair and embrace its beauty.

The fish are the only ones commanding your attention, while the kids run circles around each other. It is surely the best kept secret that we all once knew, but somehow life got in the way and made us forget. That sunset that ripples atop the water will make you remember.

It is a perfect time to throw on a

sweatshirt or grab a blanket while the fire starts to roar. Grab your favorite camp foods and enjoy. Be it hot dogs, chips and dip or even the iconic camping food — marshmallows. It is the gathering that makes the great escape, great.

Your camping site neighbors might entice you with a piece of pie they whipped up in their Dutch oven, because they are pros. Or they might offer you some more wood, since you obviously didn’t pack enough. It may even be the secret handshake of fellow campers; a kindness like none other. Forget being the

lonely kid at the playground, because all the kids play hide and seek together.

Then they come out of nowhere.

The stars. Oh, how the glassy nights speckled with a luminescent glow created by thousands of tiny lights send everyone to their temporary home of canvas, tent or hard top. You and your camping crew gather around a blazing fire and contemplate your place, and of course, tell ghost stories.

While the fire crackles, you send wee ones off to bed all snuggled up with full tummies and tired eyes because you know they will be up to greet the dawn.

“Hello roasted toasted marshmallows, nights that seem to never go dark and bright blue skies speckled with puffy white clouds.”

There you are in the stillness of it all.

Where you can celebrate your blessings, journey and life. When, among the dark, things strangely become more clear and present than they were before. When only the glitter of the fire is left, you get ready to rest your head firmly below the stars.

This is summer’s great escape and most rewarding splendor. It makes the weeks seem shorter and melt away to days filled with fresh air and sunshine. These are the moments we celebrate with friends, family and nature. Memories made and most certainly remembered, just remember to have more firewood than you think you need or you will have some sad s’mores.

Camp on!.

Absolutely One Thing Featuring Charlie and Lola

by Lauren Child Sometimes, as a treat, Mom takes Charlie and Lola to the store and says they may choose one thing. “One thing to share?”

Lola asks. No, it’s one thing each, explains Charlie, or two actual things between two.

Lola is nine minutes late getting ready, and on the way, there are ladybugs and birds to count and maybe a squillion leaves on a tree. At the store, Lola says she’ll choose three things, or possibly two. “How about no things?” asks Mom. With Lola hilariously bending everyday numbers to her will, the math goes down easy in this charming picture book loaded with visual appeal.

Who Woke the Baby?

by Jane Clarke It’s early morning in the jungle and the little gorilla is NOT happy. Someone has woken him up! As the mystery unfolds, we learn about a chain of events involving an assortment of animals who all played a part — from Butterfly, who touched down on the same flower as Bee, which made Bee buzz, which made Frog croak, which made Crocodile thrash, to Hippo who yawned a great yawn.

Babies Don’t Walk, They Ride!

Grandad’s Island

by Benji Davies At the bottom of Syd’s garden, through the gate and past the tree, is Grandad’s house. Syd can let himself in any time he likes. But one day when Syd comes to call, Grandad isn’t in any of the usual places. He’s in the attic, where he ushers Syd through a door, and the two of them journey to a wild, beautiful island awash in color where Grandad decides he will remain. So Syd hugs Grandad one last time and sets sail for home. Visiting Grandad’s house at the bottom of the garden again, he finds it just the same as it’s always been — except that Grandad isn’t there anymore. Sure to provide comfort to young children struggling to understand loss, Benji Davies’s tale is a sensitive and beautiful reminder that our loved ones live on in our memories long after they’re gone.

A Brave Bear

by Sean Taylor It is a hot, hot day. Dad Bear says, “I think a pair of hot bears is probably the hottest thing in the world.” So Little Bear suggests they go to the river to cool down. It’s a long way. Little Bear tries to impress his Dad by doing a big jump from one rock to another, but he falls over. When he picks himself up and keeps going, his dad says, “I think a brave bear is probably the bravest thing in the world.” For very young children just beginning to dare to do new things and their supportive and loving parents, this gentle read-aloud just might be the best thing in the world.

Isaac and His Amazing Asperger Superpowers!

by Melanie Walsh Isaac may look like everyone else, but he actually has superpowers that make him different from his brother and his classmates.

Some kids don’t understand that and call him names. But Isaac’s superhero brain remembers loads of things, he has energy enough to bounce on his trampoline for hours, and his ears are so sharp he can even hear the buzzing some lights make in school (ouch!). He tends to say whatever comes into his head and doesn’t realize that he might hurt someone’s feelings — by telling them they have big teeth, for example!

Even though he’s not really a superhero — he has Asperger syndrome, which means his brain works a little differently — he does love to play superheroes with his brother, who understands him. Straightforward and engaging, Isaac’s first-person narrative will help kids see the world through the eyes of a child with the high-cognitive type of autism spectrum disorder commonly known as Asperger syndrome.

Tri-State Marker

BY UNKNOWN

Tri-State Marker In the Rowena area where SD Hwy 38 turns East at the Iowa state line.

1859 - Set at the junction of the States of Minnesota and Iowa and Dakota Territory by the Federal Land Office Survey of Minnesota’s Western Boundary.

Early 1900s - Removed after partial destruction by vandals.

1938 - Repaired and reset by adjacent counties at the original site under the direction of the Department of Interior.

1979 - Restored and relocated at this site by the county governments and historical societies of Lyon County, Iowa, Rock County, Minnesota, and Minnehaha County, South Dakota. Flush marker set at original location, 43’ 60” North Latitude.

DEDICATED TO THE PIONEERS OF SIOUXLAND THIS 25TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1980.

1938 Dedication Location of the Tri-State Marker

In 1859 the Federal Land Office placed an iron post precisely where the western boundary of the new state of Minnesota met the northern boundary of the state of Iowa. When South Dakota became a state in 1889, the iron post then came to be known as the “Tri-State Marker.”

HISTORICAL MARKER

After being repeatedly damaged by vehicles and vandalized by souvenir hunters, the Tri-State Marker was stored for many years. In 1980 the badly damaged marker was repaired once again. It was then installed on small plot in South Dakota which is jointly owned by the three county historical societies located in Lyon County, Iowa, Rock County, Minnesota, and Minnehaha County, South Dakota.
