Fresh Foods from Their Family to Yours: KELLER’S GREEN GROCERY

CONCIERGE

P

hillips Avenue in Downtown Sioux Falls has a wide variety of storefronts: restaurants, clothing, home furnishings, shoes, banks and even tattoos. But now there’s a new “genre” to add to the list – grocery store.

Keller’s Green Grocery has made its home in a renovated space that was once the ballroom of the historic Carpenter Building.

Co-owner Cena Keller says they are excited to be downtown and to meet a need expressed by downtown residents, employees and visitors.

“Downtown is the perfect place for us,” she says. “Our vision fits with the

“We want to show everyone that vegetarian and vegan food can be tasty and filling,” Avery says. dynamic environment of downtown, and our commitment to using locally sourced products and fresh ingredients is right in step with what the city is trying to promote with healthier lifestyles.”

Their business was recently accepted into the Downtown Retail Incubator Program, a program started in 2014 by Downtown Sioux Falls that subsidizes rent for the first 18 months of operation and provides business training and mentorship. It is designed to get a new business off on the right foot and connect them with resources to ensure continued business growth.

The Keller team worked hard to create an environment that is unique, from the interior design, to the food on their shelves. With a nod to the history of the building, they combined modern elements with industrial, and they kept both colors and lighting muted to create a sleek, clean design.

The store carries produce, dairy, prepackaged meats and other groceries, including some frozen items. “Ice cream is a necessity,” says Keller.

She adds that the desire to venture into the grocery business was an extension of her family’s passion for eating fresh, local foods.

“My father hunted and butchered meat, and we always had a large garden and canned foods when I was growing up,” says Keller. “Now, my son also hunts, and we continue to garden.”

Chef Addison Avery is in charge of the kitchen. Avery, who is Keller’s son, has been anxiously awaiting the opening of the store and the opportunity to run his own kitchen.

“This is an exciting opportunity,” he says. “I know we are going to create great things for everyone in the downtown community.”

Avery says the kitchen primarily offers grab-and-go items, as well as á la carte menu items, with a focus on vegan and vegetarian foods.

“We want to show everyone that vegetarian and vegan food can be tasty and filling,” he says.

They are offering sandwiches like the classic Reuben and the inventive blackened tofu po’boy. Salads, pastas and risotto dishes feature seasonal vegetables, and you can also stop in to grab freshmade street tacos.

From economics to health benefits, there are many reasons why they choose local foods as grocery items and to use in their kitchen. One of their suppliers is Happy Hydros, a family owned and operated commercial hydroponic greenhouse located in Pukwana.

“Local farmers have products that embody wholesomeness,” says Avery. “We want to find the most sustainable delivery of food to our customers. We know these farmers by name, and when we buy local, it reduces costs like transportation.”

Keller’s Green Grocery feels they have a mission beyond just selling groceries.

“People today seem to be less connected to their food,” says Keller. “They may

“Local farmers have products that embody wholesomeness,” says Avery. “We want to find the most sustainable delivery of food to our customers.

We know these farmers by name, and when we buy local, it reduces costs like transportation.” not think about where it’s coming from.

Knowing where and how foods are produced is important to us, because we know it’s better for our customers. We want to share that information and help the downtown community, and residents throughout Sioux Falls, become healthy, informed consumers.”

Midco Sports Network Wins Telly Awards Including People’s Choice Award for Mini Mascot Segment

M

idco® Business and Midco Sports Network® earned eight awards from the 37th Annual Telly Awards, including two Silver Awards, the highest Telly honor.

The Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. A judging panel of more than 500 industry professionals – each a past Silver Telly winner and a member of The Silver Telly Council – evaluated more than 13,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries.

The People’s Telly awards allow the public to vote on online submissions. Each year, the People’s Telly averages over 125,000 video views with ratings cast from viewers from across the world.

Midco Business and Midco Sports Network each earned a People’s Telly.

“We’re honored to receive this national recognition,” said

Mark Powell, VP of Business Development for Midco Business and MidcoSN®. “I truly believe our advertising production and MidcoSN teams are among the best in the business. When you consider that less than 10% of entries earn a Silver Telly, and 25% earn a Bronze, these awards prove our work stands the test.”

The following Midco Sports Network entries received honors: Silver People’s Telly Award for Midco Sports Magazine “Mini Mascot” segment: TV Programs/Segments Bronze Award for Midco Sports Network “Branding 2” commercial: Media Promotion Bronze Award for Midco Sports Magazine “Faster than Fear” segment: TV Program Segment or Promo To learn more about the Telly Awards, visit TellyAwards.com.

“I’m guessing the combination of ‘cute kid doing something he loves’ and good story-telling definitely drew in the votes. From the first time I saw Nick interacting with kids while mascoting, I knew this was going to be a fun story to share,” said Munce.

Midco Sports Magazine is a half hour show that airs on the Midco Sports Network (MidcoSN).

Midco Sports Magazine searches out and shares interesting and inspirational stories of athletes, coaches, and sports fans that live, play, and train in the communities where Midco Sports Network viewers live.

The show originated in 2011 as a once a quarter show and now is new the first Tuesday of each month. Tom Nieman hosts and reports, Josh Munce produces, shoots, and edits the show, while other MidcoSN talent report as well.

While Midco Sports Magazine has earned a number of Regional Emmys and Telly awards for its story telling, this is the first People’s Choice Telly the show has received...which is really something special.

“I’m guessing the combination of ‘cute kid doing something he loves’ and good story-telling definitely drew in the votes. From the first time I saw Nick interacting with kids while mascoting, I knew this was going to be a fun story to share,” shares Munce.

9-Year-Old Sioux Falls Girl Is Trying to Save Endangered Animals

One Painting at a Time

20 out and about |

ET CETERA

A

9-year-old girl, who started drawing animals when she was just 4, has big plans for her incredible paintings. She sells them and donates the proceeds to help save endangered species. It all started when Bria’s mom promised her if she completed 10 paintings, she would create a Facebook page for her. To date, the gifted child has sold an astonishing 80 paintings!

According to JaneGoodall’s Good For All News, Bria’s works are the result of a thorough process.

First, Bria finds pictures and information about her intended subject and studies them, ultimately writing a report about the animal. Using acrylic and watercolor on canvas, she then creates her masterpieces.

Bria is actually affiliated with renowned conservationist Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program and has raised $1,600 to date for the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Last year, one of her paintings was selected as one of the 18 winning entries in the organization’s art and essay contest. Her goal is to raise $3,000 by the end of this year for the IFAW. Recently, Mark Hofberg from the IFAW visited Bria’s art exhibit in South Dakota and said about the girl, “She is not only donating to IFAW’s conservation mission; she is raising awareness about endangered species on so many levels.”

The fact that a 9-year-old is changing the world is very inspiring. If a child can make a difference, certainly an adult can! But her story is important to share with our kids as well, because for Bria, this is about a call to action.

“It’s our responsibility to take care of all animals.

All kids can save the world, and I want them to know that,” she said, adding in an Upworthy video, “Everybody has a right to live on this planet.”

More from News Break: Mom Keeps Baby Born with Birth Defects after Adoptive Parents Back Out You can learn more about Bria’s mission and support the cause by visiting her website (pigtailsart. com). Be sure to check out the coloring book she created.

Now YOU can enjoy coloring Bria’s work while helping her cause!

eing a Mother of two beautiful daughters, that love hockey is a great honor for Angela Drake. You could always hear her cheering on her Purple Ninja and Butchie, every time they skated into the rink.

At the age of 17, all the Purple Ninja wanted is to make everyone happy around her. she excelled both in the classroom and on the hockey rink. Brittany, had the biggest Smile, but deep inside she was fighting a battle that she couldn’t win.

Angela, will speak of Hope that guides us through many paths in life and shows us the way. Being the “Purple Ninja Mom” is something I have and always will be proud of. My daughter’s battle with depression was long , she fought it hard every day, and we did right beside her. When her Angela battle ended, her hope didn’t. I will carry on her hope and her mission to help anyone battling this disease so that other families won’t have to fight this battle in silence and can truly have this hope. Live life to the fullest and always “Fight Like a Ninja”!

A Cabin in the Hills -

the Brian & Katie Grode Home

BY MARY MICHAELS PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

B

ack in 2014, Brian and Katie Grode started looking for a rental cabin in the Black Hills. Knowing they wanted to be able to vacation there, as well as rent it out through the Vacation Rentals

By Owner (VRBO) website, they were fairly particular about the features they wanted.

They found what they were looking for last year in Sleighride Getaway, a three-level, log cabin home near the Terry Peak and Deer Mountain area outside of Lead, SD. The home sits on four acres of land, so there is enough wooded area around to have privacy, but there are still neighbors close enough that a friendly, black and white husky dog named Toby occasionally comes over for a visit.

The focal point of the home is the wall of windows on the main level. Stacked three high, you can look out onto the large wraparound deck (which is a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning) and on past out to the green pine trees. There are roll-up window coverings that are occasionally lowered while the morning sun is at its brightest, but, for the most part, Katie says the windows are uncovered so they can enjoy the view.

There is ample space for the Grode family, which includes their two and a half year old and 4-month old, but the house can also accommodate larger groups of 16.

What was originally the master bedroom has been converted into a multi-guest room with three queen beds. The new master bedroom on the main floor has all the privacy they need. There is also a bedroom with a wooden four-poster bed, and a room with a bed and bunk bed. A lofted area over the kitchen also has a futon and a fun TV and gaming space. Another nice feature for larger groups renting the home is the three bathrooms – one on each level.

The décor throughout the cabin home is well-suited for its secluded location within the trees, with wildlife prints on the walls, woodland-designed bedding, a wall-mounted coat rack made from hooks and an old saw blade mounted on a large piece of barn wood and a coat tree made from…a tree.

Or, groups can gather around the large dining table made of repurposed barn-wood with its benches and chairs, to play a board game of cards – all of which are left there for guests to use.

The angled island in the kitchen, which is tucked under the loft, provides additional seating. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances for preparing meals before or after a full day of activities in the Black Hills.

When those activities happen during the winter, the main floor laundry just off the entryway is the perfect spot to deposit snow boots, hats and other cold-weather gear.

THE OFFICIAL

Drink of Summer!

BY JIM MATHIS

O

K, so once I veer away from food and into the beverage category, I know I’m treading on Riccardo’s territory. But it’s the beginning of summer and nothing says summer to me like an icy cold gin and tonic. I enjoy a good G&T, I think it’s genetic. My mom is a fan; my dad was a fan and even my uber-conservative brother enjoys a gin and tonic every now and then. My sister leans towards the Moscow Mule; what can I say, she’s always been a little different. Yes, my beloved and I named our dog Tonic. Jim and Tonic, get it?

So what makes a gin and tonic special? First, it’s cool and refreshing, perfect for a summer afternoon. Second, it’s easy to make; a jigger of gin over ice, fill with tonic and garnish. Simple.

But most importantly, it’s medicinal. Yep, the classic G&T was

34 nest |

MAN IN THE KITCHEN

created to protect against malaria. In the late 1700s, the army of the British East India Company discovered that quinine (that’s the stuff that makes tonic water tonic water) could be used to treat malaria and helped protect against the disease. Around 1825, a few really smart officers discovered that the bitter tasting medicine was a whole lot more palatable when it was mixed with soda water, sugar and gin. The Brits truly are brilliant. Suddenly “time to take your medicine” became “Happy Hour!”

So what the heck is quinine? It comes from the bark of Peruvian Cinchona trees. Lucky for us, you don’t need one growing in your backyard because there are several really good tonics on the market now. Look for brands like Fever Tree, Fentiman’s and my personal favorite Q Tonic. These are all made using real quinine

and natural sweeteners and make a really good cocktail. But avoid the Schweppes, Canada Dry and stores brands. Yes, I know they’re the tonics I’ve been drinking for most of my life, but these newer brands are remarkably better. Since you’re going to buy a decent bottle of gin, you should also buy a decent tonic.

So how do you know if you got a good tonic? Take it outside and pour it in a tall clear highball glass on a sunny day. See that slight bluish glow in the glass? That’s the quinine in the tonic water.

Quinine is naturally fluorescent in UV light. The more quinine, the more it will fluoresce, the good stuff looks pretty cool, the cheap stuff looks like water.

“...it’s the beginning of summer and nothing says summer to me like an icy cold gin and tonic.”

About that gin; yes, I’m a purest and I like my tonic with gin.

Many people like vodka, bourbon or even tequila with their tonic, and that’s OK. But in my opinion, vodka lacks the flavor to stand up to tonic; bourbon does better with sour, and tequila, well, save that for the margaritas. I know some will tell me they don’t like gin because “it tastes like I’m drinking a Christmas tree” and yes, some gin can overpower with the smell and taste of juniper. But if that’s what you think of gin, you need to try some of the newer spirits on the market.

Hendrick’s Gin has become quite popular over the last few years and it doesn’t have the pine tree smell. It has a much gentler flavor, infused with rose and cucumber. I often garnish a Hendrick’s and tonic with a slice of cucumber, which brings out its vegetal quality. Bombay Sapphire is another one of my go-to gins; it has a clean, classic taste with just a little juniper and a nice blend of herbs. My dear mother prefers Beefeater, a classic London Dry Gin, a good solid choice for a G&T. Lately, I’ve been enjoying a bottle of The Botanist, and as the name would imply, it’s very fruity and floral.

Does the quinine really help with malaria? Well, scientists and doctors say you’d have to drink a whole lot of modern tonic water to get even the minimum therapeutic effects, but in all the years my family has been drinking Gin and Tonic, not one of us has contracted malaria. How do you get malaria? Mosquitoes, and what else do they cause? Zika. Will quinine protect against the Zika virus? Who knows, but I’ll drink a little extra this summer just in case. As I write this, I’m sitting on the patio with a gin and tonic by my side and my faithful dog Tonic at my feet. It’s gonna be a good summer, here’s to it! Do yourself a favor, drink something good today.

When he’s not enjoying a cold refreshing beverage on the patio, Jim runs ADwërks, an advertising agency in uptown Sioux Falls.

Vindependence Day

BY RICCARDO TARABELSI

A

s we celebrate Independence Day this month, there is no better time to be patriotic about wine and celebrate the strength of the wine industry in the United States today. Only steps behind France and Italy in wine production, the United States is quickly becoming the second highest country (behind France) in wine consumption. So to celebrate our forefathers (did you know Thomas Jefferson was a wine conoisseur?) this month, pick out a U.S. wine and drink to vindependence!

American wine has been produced for over 300 years.

Today, wine production is performed in all fifty states, with California leading the way in wine production followed

by Washington, New York, and Oregon. The production in the state of California alone is more than double the production of the entire country of Australia. With more than 1,100,000 acres under vine, the U.S. is the sixth most planted country in the world after Spain, China, France, Italy, and Turkey.

36 nest |

VINO

In California, the first vineyard and winery was established by the Franciscan missionary Junípero Serra near San Diego in 1769.

Later missionaries would carry the vines northward, with Sonoma’s first vineyard being planted around 1805.

Prohibition in the United States began when the state of Maine became the first state to go completely dry in 1846; it culminated in the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 which forbade the manufacturing, sale, and transport of alcohol. Exceptions were made for sacramental wine used for religious purposes and some wineries were able to maintain their facilities under those auspices. Others resorted to bootlegging.

Following the repeal of Prohibition, American winemaking reemerged in very poor condition. Many talented winemakers had died, vineyards had been neglected or replanted with table grapes, and Prohibition had changed Americans’ taste in wines.

Consumers now demanded cheap “jug wine” and sweet, fortified (high alcohol) wine.

After some time, prominent wineries that still owned a lot of land were able to reestablish high quality vineyards throughout California. Today we are all benefactors of these vineyards as we are able to enjoy many selections of “old vine” Zinfandel, for example, whose vines are 75-years-old or older.

One major milestone in America’s somewhat brief, in comparison to Europe, history of winemaking is the creation of AVA’s. An American Viticultural Area is a designated wine grape-growing region in the United States distinguishable by geographic features, with boundaries defined by the United States Department of the Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

American Viticultural Areas range in size from the Ohio River Valley AVA at 26,000 square miles across four states, to the Cole Ranch AVA in Mendocino County, California, at only 62 acres.

The Augusta AVA near the town of Augusta, Missouri, was the first recognized AVA, gaining the status on June 20, 1980.

Unlike most European wine appellations of origin, an AVA specifies only a geographical location from which at least 85% of the grapes used to make a wine must have been grown. AVA’s are more similar to the Italian Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) than other European appellation of origin systems.

So what do we, as Americans, have to be proud of in the wine world? We should be proud of our hard-working wine forefathers as they overcame obstacles and had the vision to dream big. Today, there are over 7,000 wineries in the United States with at least one winery in all 50 states. That’s impressive. That’s vindependence.

Afraid to Cough or Sneeze?

A urogynecologist can help you get back in control.

BY MICHAEL FIEGEN, MD, MS, FACOG, FACS SANFORD FEMALE PELVIC MEDICINE & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY CLINIC

O

ne out of three women suffer from urinary incontinence — often struggling in silence with the social and emotional anxiety it can cause. The good news is you don’t have to live with this problem because treatments are available that could dramatically change and improve your life.

The Types There are several types of incontinence, each with its own symptoms.

Stress incontinence: When pressure on the bladder causes urine to leak out. Symptoms of stress incontinence include a urine leak when a woman coughs, sneezes, exercises, lifts something heavy or gets up from a bed or chair.

Urge incontinence: Many refer to this as an “overactive bladder.” Women with this problem may feel a strong urge to urinate, leading to leakage. Women may experience several symptoms including the need to go to the bathroom often during the day, needing to go to the bathroom two or more times at night, urinating in small amounts or having an accident if she doesn’t get to the bathroom right away.

Overflow incontinence: Women with overflow incontinence have a bladder that doesn’t empty properly and becomes very full, causing leakage. These women may feel as if their bladder is never completely empty. Other symptoms include urinating only a little each time, having a weak urine stream, experiencing an inability to urinate or having the need to get up often at night to go to the bathroom.

Mixed incontinence: This occurs when symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence are present.

provide electrical signals to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel helping it to work more normally. For women with severe stress incontinence, surgery may be an option to control urinary leakage.

Changes You Can Make Lifestyle changes can also make a difference with urinary incontinence. In addition to the other health benefits, the following can help women regain control: Quitting smoking. Smoking can damage the bladder and urethra.

It can also create a chronic cough that strains pelvic floor muscles.

The Tests Because there are multiple causes of urinary incontinence, finding an accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. Several tests may be done to determine the cause of your symptoms, such as reviewing a voiding diary to track your symptoms, visually examining the bladder, taking an X-ray or engaging in urodynamic studies. A urodynamic study is a series of tests that measure the strength of your bladder and tracks how the bladder works.

Lose excess weight. Even a few extra pounds can put pressure on the bladder.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics and can increase the urge to urinate.

Where to Get Help The Treatments Treatments for urinary incontinence have evolved greatly over the past decade. Today, many of these disorders can be treated through non-invasive procedures right in a urogynecologist’s office.

Treatments include medication, bladder retraining exercises and physical therapy.

Other non-invasive treatments include injection therapy, in which injections are made into the urethra to bulk up the tissue and control leaking. Stimulator implants can also be used to

A urogynecologist has advanced training in gynecology and urology, ensuring you are getting the expertise you need for your specific condition. These physicians are specially trained to treat urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and various forms of pelvic organ prolapse.

Every day, physicians are learning more about urinary incontinence. Advancements are changing the way physicians diagnose and treat the millions of American women it affects. If you are experiencing symptoms of urinary incontinence, talk to your physician and get back in control.

Take Back Your Health

with Regenerative Medicine

R

egenerative medicine, better known as Stem Cell Therapy is now available at Orthopedic Institute. According to Walter Carlson, MD, MBA at Orthopedic Institute, it is the biggest advance in healthcare in his thirty years as a physician.

Dr. Carlson has been incorporating stem cell therapy into select spinal fusion surgeries for the past few years and has completed over 100 successful stem cell spinal fusion surgeries. This came about because he was looking for ways to improve the quality of fusions in the lower back, and now he is offering this therapy in the treatment of arthritic knees, hips, ankles, elbows and other joints.

Adult stem cells were discovered over 40 years ago when researchers found that cells derived from bone marrow had the ability to form various tissues. Adult stem cells are early stage cells and under the right conditions, are capable of developing into other types of cells with the potential to regenerate damaged tissue.

Regardless of what area of the body is being treated, stem cell therapy may be an option for people with arthritic conditions who have pain, but are not yet ready for full joint replacement or other surgical procedure. Often, such patients are offered cortisone injections or a synthetic lubricant such as Synvisc. These are not a cure-all, nor are they 100 percent effective, although they may relieve a patient’s pain for a time. In addition to reducing inflammation and pain and improving function, there is also

the hope that stem cells might actually help restore some of the patient’s tissues back to a more normal state.

These adult stem cells come from your bone marrow, and your pelvis bone is one of the best and most convenient locations to withdraw bone marrow. The doctor will use a needle to withdraw the bone marrow from your pelvis and then a technician uses specifically designed equipment to concentrate the adult stem cells and growth factors present in the bone marrow. The concentrated cells are then given back to the doctor for implantation into the targeted area.

Perhaps the biggest downside to stem cell therapy is that it is not covered by insurance. When Dr. Carlson uses it for lumbar fusion surgeries, it does not necessarily add to the cost of the procedure, but the same is not true for other joints. A patient who wants to try an injection of stem cells for their knee or hip, for example, could expect to pay $5000 to $6000 out of pocket. “If a patient is having back or joint pain and they are not quite ready for a big surgery, I would definitely discuss it with them,” says Dr. Carlson. “It could buy them several years before they will need surgery, and many people feel this is worth it.”

While Dr. Carlson’s practice focuses on spine, total joint and pediatric orthopedics, he is excited to offer his patients the newest, most advanced non-surgical form of pain treatment option in Stem Cell Therapy. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call 605-331-5890.

Founded in 1778, at the only falls along the Ohio River, the city thrived on tobacco and bourbon trade. The neighborhoods consist of lavish historic houses spread throughout nearly 40 blocks of beautiful boulevards and courtyards. Daily walking history tours are available through Louisville Historic Tours, led by author David Domine, who calls it “America’s most exuberant neighborhood.” The walking tours last two hours and highlight architectural details such as split Kentucky limestone facades

Churchill Downs Racetrack conducts thoroughbred horse racing and attracts thousands of fans each year with various events. Celebrating the history of horse racing, the Kentucky Derby Museum is packed with several exciting exhibits, including a race simulator, an 18-minute film shown in an oval room with 360-degree screens, and a walking tour of Churchill Downs that visits the paddock area and the track.

Zika:

What Every Woman Needs to Know

BY KELLY THURMAN AVERA HEALTH

I

f you’re pregnant or thinking of having a child, you’ve probably spent a minute or two worrying about Zika, a virus spread primarily through mosquito bites.

If a woman is infected during pregnancy, Zika has been linked to increased risk of microcephaly and other severe brain defects in the fetus. A large outbreak of Zika began in Brazil and continues to spread to other countries. In February, the World Health Organization declared Zika a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

We recently sat down with Maria Palmquist, MD, with Avera Medical Group Maternal-Fetal Medicine Sioux Falls, to talk about Zika and what women need to know.

Question: What are the symptoms of Zika?

Answer: The symptoms are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis or red eyes. Only 20 percent of patients with Zika will show symptoms, so that is another challenge.

Q: What is your advice to women thinking of traveling to areas with known Zika virus transmission?

A: We are counseling pregnant women to avoid or postpone travel if at all possible. Women who are planning a pregnancy, with possible exposure to the Zika virus as a result of travel are encouraged to wait eight weeks before trying to conceive.

If travel is necessary, then pregnant women should take preventive measures such as wearing mosquito repellent, long sleeves and staying indoors. It’s important to note that this mosquito is out during the daytime hours.

Q: What happens if a pregnant woman did travel to infected area and has symptoms?

A: Because not everyone with Zika shows symptoms, we offer testing to pregnant women who went to an area with Zika.

We also do an early ultrasound of the fetus. This provides a baseline of measurements to make sure baby is growing well. We pay special attention to the brain anatomy to make sure there is no extra fluid or calcifications. . There is no treatment for Zika and there is nothing we can do to reduce the risk to baby, so treatment of an infected mom is supportive.

Q: Is there risk if a woman gets the virus before getting pregnant?

A: There is no evidence that once you’ve had an acute infection that has since cleared up, that with subsequent pregnancy there would be risk to the fetus.

MONTH OF JULY Hours: Mon: 12 – 5 • Tues – Fri: 10 – 5 • Sat: 10 - 3 (605) 335-8242

Q: If you are infected during pregnancy what are the odds of it transferring to your fetus?

A: We don’t know those exact numbers yet. Not all viruses are transmitted to the fetus, and just because you travel to the area doesn’t mean you will be infected at all. We don’t quite know why the virus affects some fetuses and not others. We know from other viruses and infections that typically when a mom is infected in the first trimester the effects to the fetus are often greater.

Q: What is microcephaly?

A: Microcephaly is a condition of the fetus marked by a small head circumference. Because the brain is small and underdeveloped, it can cause developmental delays and intellectual defects. There are also reports of fetal loss, stillbirth, eye abnormalities, optic nerve damage and brain abnormalities.

We worry that the virus causes destruction of brain tissue and instead of normal brain tissue the brain cavity is filled with fluid.

We’re talking about profound effects on neurological system.

PARENTING & PREGNANCY

A: Besides being bitten by a mosquito, there is risk for sexual transmission from those who are infected. It is thought that men carry the Zika virus longer than women, therefore, men infected who are showing symptoms should abstain or use condoms for at least six months. If they have traveled to an area with Zika and haven’t shown any symptoms we recommend waiting at least eight weeks.

If you have concerns about the Zika virus, talk with your primary care or OB provider.

FOR THE 4TH OF JULY

BY JESSICA WEISCHEDEL

American Flag Tee Materials Needed: Red and blue acrylic paint, paper plates, and a white t-shirt.

Instructions: Pour each color of paint onto a paper plate. Carefully place your child’s hand in the blue paint, making sure every finger is covered. Spread their fingers out as much as you can, then place their hand onto the t-shirt in the upper left corner, pressing each finger down firmly. With the red paint color and a paint brush, paint the flag stripes around the blue hand print.

Let the shirt completely dry before proudly wearing it on the 4th of July!

FOR KIDS

Patriotic Hat Materials Needed: Paper plate, red and white cardstock, white star cutouts or stickers, scissors, blue paint, paint brush, glue, double sided foam mounting dots, thin elastic, tape, and a hole punch.

Instructions: Cut the paper plate in half, then using the curved part of one half, trace a curve on the straight edge of the other half. Cut the traced curve, then paint that half blue on one side. Once it’s dry, use a hold puncher to punch a hole on each side of the bottom. Cut long and skinny triangles from cardstock paper, resembling the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Flip the plate over and use adhesive dots to attach the triangles to the rim. Cut a piece of elastic that will fit around your child’s head, then tape each end through the holes on the back side of the plate. Decorate the front of the plate with white stars and any other ideas you have. Let the hat completely dry, then let your kids wear it to celebrate the holiday.

Firecracker Slingshot Materials Needed: 1 foam tube cut between 6-8” (pipe insulator), 2 plastic zip ties per slingshot, 1 rubber band per slingshot, red, white, and blue ribbon, bakers twine and/or yarn of 3-4 different colors and 20” long, and red, white, and blue acrylic paint.

Instructions: Paint the foam tube red, white, or blue. Apply multiple coats if the color doesn’t cover the tube’s original shade. Feel free to add a festive pattern! Cut the ribbon to be about 24” long, and fold the ribbon in half, tying it onto 1 full size zip tie. Attach a rubber band to the zip tie, then insert the ribbon/rubberband/ zip tie combination into the tube, with the rubber band poking out from one side and the ribbon hanging out of the other side. Use a second zip tie to secure the material inside the foam tube, pulling it tight on the top of the tube and trimming any excessive zip tie. Now you have a firecracker slingshot! Use your fingers to pull the rubber band and make the slingshot fly!

Straw Fireworks Materials Needed: 7 straws that bend, red and blue paint, and a piece of white paper.

Instructions: Stretch out the straws as far as they can go, then group them together in your hand with the bendy part towards the top, not the bottom. Bend the top of the straws down so they are spread out, then wrap a piece of tape around the bottom of them and let go so you can then wrap another piece of tape just under the bended part of the straws. Carefully dip the straws into blue paint first, and stamp it onto the white paper, pressing each straw individually so that the paint shows up. Add some red paint to the straws and do the same thing. It will resemble fireworks. Add some glitter to add some sparkle!

CELEBRATIONS

We All Scream for

Ice Cream!

BY AMITY SHAY

O

ne thing is certain, ice cream tastes better when it is hot! My nineyear-old would eat it for every meal if I allowed it. In my defense, we only had ice cream for breakfast a few times, but it was so worth it. Summer is the perfect time for an ice cream celebration like no other. Without holding back, gather the sprinkles, gummy bears, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce and don’t forget the whipped cream, if that is your thing. Let’s have an ice cream celebration in 10 ways.

Frozen banana ice cream blasted with chocolate chips, crushed nuts, and chocolate sauce. My kind of banana split.

Old school vanilla ice cream made at home with real vanilla beans. It takes some time, but is better for it. This kind of creamy concoction is timeless.

Fearless and fruity. We picked wild strawberries blended added some chilled coconut milk, vanilla and honey to taste.

Freeze until frozen and devour.

Clever carton creations. Gather your

favorite flavors and make you own wild and wacky new ice cream. In a dish, on a spoon or on a cone, all equal delicious.

Get nutty. Pistachio ice cream, chocolate covered peanuts, cranberry cashews, or a salted caramel nut mixture.

You’d be nuts not to try.

Green ice cream isn’t green, it is minty.

For the vegans in my life, ripe avocados blended with cacao powder, mint extract, chocolate chips and chilled coconut milk folded in and frozen for the coolest vegan

ice cream in town.

Don’t forget the cookies! Make your own ice cream sandwiches. Whip up a batch of your favorite kind, use super frozen ice cream and a sharp knife and cut to fit between then refreeze. Yum! No cone, no problem. Make some ice cream bonbons. Melt your chocolate to coat and cut up super frozen ice cream, refreeze, coat freeze and serve. Lots of work, super messy and amazingly tasty.

Shift shapers. Get all those silicone molds under the cabinet and make your own shaped ice cream that doesn’t have to be made with cream. Juice and smoothies work but wine also works for moms and dads.

Have a buffet! Pick your favorite flavors and surround them with dishes filled with

CELEBRATIONS

goodies galore. From pretzels to gummy bears to raisins. It is all so good and far too good not to share.

The best ice cream part of summer is celebrating together. If we get a little sticky, we aren’t that far from a hose, sprinkler or pool. It is all about the absolutely nonsensical reasons why to celebrate while kids smile with excitement. Life is too short not to get outside and enjoy every moment with the ones that matter most. The bonus and the sweetest part of the ice cream party is the connection you share between the ones at the table.

May your summer be filled with sweet moments worth celebrating.

Cheers!

More music... really.

Listen for All Music Hours, 60 minutes of non-stop continuous music!

Fewer commercials.

Less interruptions.

Becoming Babe Ruth

by Matt Tavares Before he is known as the Babe, George Herman Ruth is just a boy who lives in Baltimore and gets into a lot of trouble. But when he turns seven, his father brings him to the gates of Saint Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, and his life is changed forever. At Saint Mary’s, he’s expected to study hard and follow a lot of rules. But there is one good thing about Saint Mary’s: almost every day, George gets to play baseball. Here, under the watchful eye of Brother Matthias, George evolves as a player and as a man, and when he sets off into the wild world of big-league baseball, the school, the boys, and Brother Matthias are never far from his heart.

More-igami

by Dori Kleber Joey loves things that fold: maps, beds, accordions, you name it. When a visiting mother of a classmate turns a plain piece of paper into a beautiful origami crane, his eyes pop. Maybe he can learn origami, too. It’s going to take practice — on his homework, the newspaper, the thirty-eight dollars in his mother’s purse . . . Enough! No more folding!

But how can Joey become an origami master if he’s not allowed to practice? Is there anywhere that he can hone the skill that makes him happy — and maybe even make a new friend while he’s at it?

CHILDREN’S BOOKS

Circle

by Jeannie Baker Each year, bar-tailed godwits undertake the longest unbroken migration of any bird, flying from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to Australia and New Zealand and back again.

They follow invisible pathways — pathways that have been followed for thousands of years — while braving hunger and treacherous conditions to reach their destination. In Circle, Jeannie Baker follows the godwit’s incredible flight, taking us over awe-inspiring scenes as the birds spread their wings above such beautiful landmarks as the Great Barrier Reef and China’s breathtaking cityscapes.

Everyone

by Christopher Silas Neal Christopher Silas Neal, praised by the New York Times for his “stunning retro-style illustrations,” invites young readers to explore how we feel what we feel, and how everyone else feels it, too. From the animals in the woods to the neighbors in their homes nearby, everyone has feelings and shares them in this whimsical story. Vivid, childlike art in a limited palette conveys a full spectrum of emotion.

Young children easily frustrated by a popped balloon or overjoyed by a sky full of stars will relish this simple exploration of empathy.

Hare and Tortoise

by Alison Murray Hare (Leapus swifticus) can barely stay still for a minute. He’s the fastest on the farm.

Tortoise (Slow and steadicus) can stay still for a very long time. She has occasionally been mistaken for a rock. So when they decide to have a race, Hare is certain to win . . . isn’t he?

Through the meadow, around the duck pond, and straight into the carrot field. Carrots? Oh, dear. Whether encountering the classic tale for the first time or tracing the racecourse map to relive it, children will be quick to realize Hare’s folly and eager to join the cheering for easygoing, persistent Tortoise. She may be slow, but watch her go!

Crossing Niagara

by Matt Tavares When the Great Blondin announced that he was going to walk from America to Canada across the Niagara River on a rope that was more than 1,100 feet long and just 3 inches wide, hanging 160 feet above the raging river, people came from everywhere. Some came to watch him cross. Some came to watch him fall. Some thought he wouldn’t show up at all. But he did show up. And he did walk across the river. And then he did something else amazing. He crossed the river on that tightrope again and again, adding another death-defying flourish each time.

Matt Tavares’s gorgeous, riveting account of the daredevil of Niagara Falls is sure to hold readers in its grip, just as Blondin’s feats enthralled those spectators on the cliffs more than one hundred and fifty years ago.

A Piece of Home

by Jeri Watts When Hee Jun’s family moves from Korea to West Virginia, he struggles to adjust to his new home. His eyes are not big and round like his classmates’, and he can’t understand anything the teacher says, even when she speaks s-l-ow-l-y and loudly at him. As he lies in bed at night, the sky seems smaller and darker. But little by little Hee Jun begins to learn English words and make friends on the playground.

And one day he is invited to a classmate’s house, where he sees a flower he knows from his garden in Korea — mugunghwa, or rose of Sharon, as his friend tells him — and Hee Jun is happy to bring a shoot to his grandmother to plant a “piece of home” in their new garden.

Lyrical prose and lovely illustrations combine in a gentle, realistic story about finding connections in an unfamiliar world.

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS Summer Style: Feel free to trim longer hair on your dog, but never shave your dog: The layers of dogs’ coat protect them from overheating and sunburn.

No Parking: Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. A parked car can become a furnace in no time.

Made in the Shade: Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water, and plenty of shade.

Fireworks are not very Pet-riotic: Please leave pets at home when you head out to Forth of July celebrations, and never use fireworks around pets.

Street Smarts: When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on hot

asphalt. Being so close to the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn.

Make a splash: Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool- not all dogs are good swimmers.

Know the warning signs of overheating: Overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. They can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting if the body temperature is over 104 degrees.
