Sioux Chef Challenge

Cooking Up Great Food for Worthy Causes

By Jill Funke • Photos courtesy of Diversity Kiwanis Club

I

n November, lovers of fine food can enjoy the succulent creations of area chefs while raising money to benefit the missions of the Diversity Kiwanis Club of Sioux Falls. The second annual Sioux Chef Challenge begins at 6 p.m. Nov. 14 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. At this unique event, executive or sous chefs from local restaurants or catering companies will create appetizers, entrees and desserts that will be tasted by guest judges. After the inaugural event in 2012, Diversity Kiwanis Club President-Elect Stacey Kracht says the group knew the fundraiser was a success when “everyone commented that it was a fun experience.”

This year, organizers of the Sioux Chef Challenge expect about 300 people to sample the delectable appetizers, entrees and desserts. Judges will select the winner of each category, and guests will have the opportunity to select an overall “people’s choice” winner. Stacey believes that attendees appreciate the uniqueness of the event.

“Last year, people who attended liked having the chance to get dressed up and sample creations from the best of the best chefs in the area,” she says.

24

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

The impetus for the Sioux Chef Challenge was the group’s desire for a new, enticing fundraiser that would appeal to many residents, Stacey says. The event’s success is evidenced in the $4,400 raised for serving children in need locally and around the world. Stacey adds, “We were very happy with the 2012 event, even when we considered that it was the first time we had attempted something like that.”

} } “Holding the event at the Convention Center and providing music in the background, makes an enjoyable atmosphere.” ~ Stacey Kracht

Single tickets for the Sioux Chef Challenge cost $40. Two tickets cost $75, or families or businesses can elect to purchase an entire table for $400. Stacey says some businesses purchased tables and used the event as an employee perk, which she felt was a great idea considering the fundraiser’s fun and festive environment: “Holding the event at the Convention Center and providing music in the background, makes an enjoyable atmosphere.”

The proceeds from past efforts of the Diversity Kiwanis Club have assisted with the Lutheran Social Services winter wear drive, Project Warm Up that provided blankets to homeless children in Sioux Falls, the backpack program, a Guatemala shoe drive, the Mobile Food Bank, a school building in Africa, and sponsorship of two Haitian children.

The Festival of Trees proceeds are used by Southeast Behavioral HealthCare to assist people as they set out to write a new chapter in their life story. Funds can be used to offset the cost of counseling for family dynamics and communication, as well as children with emotional problems resulting from abusive situations. Support from the Festival of Frees can also help with the cost of providing case-management services for individuals with severe mental illness to live independently in the community, and assist children working with counselors at school and home to improve social skills and behaviors. Event proceeds can also fund counseling for children and adults sfw with developmental disabilities.

Teamwork Starts Before the Big Day

Chelsea and Greg Koch

C

helsea and Greg met in the summer of 2010 when they were both working at Leif Ericson Day Camp, but they didn’t actually go on their first date until the summer of 2011. They spent the night in downtown Sioux Falls at Hot Harley Nights and the Moonlight Movie in Fawick Park.

After that first date, their relationship developed and their personalities easily meshed.

“I knew that Chelsea was the one when I took her over to meet my parents and she got dressed up for a BBQ. She played bean bags in a dress and took the whole night in stride,” Greg says. “When I saw that she was willing to spend time with my crazy family and then still wanted to see me, I knew that she was the one.”

Chelsea loved that Greg was her biggest supporter and always stood up for her.

After eight months of dating, Greg popped the question on April 7, 2012.

“He created an Easter egg hunt using my favorite candy, Cadbury eggs,” Chelsea says. “When he asked me to be his wife, I first said, ‘Umm…OK!’ and then I shouted, ‘Yes!’ He was surprisingly creative and I was so impressed!”

Chelsea and Greg decided early on that they wanted to plan their wedding as a team.

“While planning the wedding, I was so proud of Chelsea because she knew what she wanted and was willing to work hard to earn the extra special things for the wedding,” Greg says. “She worked a second job and I went to some of the planning sessions by myself because she trusted me to make good decisions.”

Greg and Chelsea agree that working as a team and making decisions together made their wedding planning stress-free, successful and fun.

On May 25, 2013, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Greg and Chelsea became Mr. and Mrs. Koch in front of 200 of their friends and family members. Chelsea’s and Greg’s pastors co-officiated the service, which made the ceremony personal and special. The wedding colors were purple and black, and the couple had 10 people in their wedding party so they could include their siblings and closest friends.

The reception was at the Holiday Inn City Centre Starlight Room in downtown Sioux Falls, where guests indulged in a spread of treats from the Cookie Jar, which is owned by Greg’s family.

Everything on the wedding day went according to plan and Chelsea and Greg had great vendors, who all helped contribute to the day’s success.

After the festivities, Chelsea and Greg honeymooned in Seattle for a week. Since then, they have settled into their apartment in Sioux Falls. They are enjoying married life and learning something new about each other every day. They each have their own bathroom, which is something they highly recommend for future newlyweds! They enjoy spending free time with friends and family and watching football.

For future grooms and brides, Chelsea and Greg encourage couples to plan their big day together.

“My advice is especially for the guys,” Greg says. “Make sure to participate in the process. A little effort goes a long way and your wedding will be great if you plan it as a team.” sfw SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/nove m b e r 2 0 1 3

From Goop to Great!

Designer Dentistry and Smiles

A

the First to Offer New Technology

nyone who has gone through the experience of needing impressions made at the dentist will be relieved to know that Designer Dentistry and Smiles has a new technology that doesn’t involve the “goop.” It’s called iTero® and it can be used for a variety of dental work.

Better Patient Experience Nichole Cauwels, DDS, has owned Designer Dentistry and Smiles for 8 years and is excited to use the new technology on her patients for a variety of reasons. “The new iTero® is a scanner that takes pictures of your teeth. These scans are more precise than rubber impressions and patients with strong gag reflex will be thrilled that there will be no more goop,” she adds.

That’s right, with Align Technology’s iTero® Intraoral Scanner, photo scans take pictures of a patient’s teeth which are then used to make models.

“Patients that need impressions will be happy to have a better fit, faster turn-around time and far less gagging with the new iTero® scanner offered only at Designer Dentistry and Smiles.” ~ Nichole Cauwels, DDS Owner, Designer Dentistry and Smiles

Increased Accuracy Only offered at Designer Dentistry and Smiles, the new technology is a vast improvement over the standard PVS impressions. Not only is the patient experience better, but the scans provide more accurate and better-fitting models.

The number of patients this will affect is reason enough for Dr. Cauwels at Designer Dentistry and Smiles to be excited to be the first and only dental practice in Sioux Falls to offer the new procedure. “The pictures can be used to make models for all types of dental work including Invisalign® aligners, implants, veneers and single crowns.

6100 W. 41st. Street • Suite 101 Sioux Falls • (605) 361-1900 • www.siouxfallsdds.com

Immediate Results Not only do patients avoid the “goop” phase, they can also see the results of the scan right away with their high-impact visualations. “We’re able to show patients who are interested in straightening their teeth an “after” picture in 5 minutes with the smile simulator,” adds Dr. Cauwels.

“It also means Invisalign® patients can start treatment in a week instead of the traditional one month wait time with traditional goop impressions that have to be mailed and then scanned.”

It’s proven that wait times and the “goop” often hold patients back on having work done on their teeth. With iTero® technology at Designer Dentistry and Smiles, this takes away those set-backs and encourages patients to proceed with both restorative and cosmetic procedures. “I think being able to preview your Invisalign® results before deciding if you want to pursue treatment will be great for patients,” says Dr. Cauwels. “In today’s fast-paced, high-tech world we don’t have time to come back two more times for goopy impressions and smile simulations.”

Do you have a crown that needs repair or maybe you’re embarrassed about your smile, go ahead and get started toward a healthy and attractive smile today by scheduling an appointment at Designer Dentistry and Smiles. You’ll be delightfully surprised at how easy, fast and pleasant it can be to have the smile of your dreams!

For more information on Align Technology’s iTero® Intraoral Scanner visit: www.itero.com.

OUT WITH THE OLD

AND IN WITH A

When you look in the mirror do you see unattractive signs of aging... fine lines, wrinkling, acne scarring or sun damage?

Do you want to bring back your glow? Laser skin resurfacing can remove years of aging and damage. CO2 Fractional laser resurfacing is the latest technology in laser skin treatment and allows for a shortened recovery time.

HairTrends Hairstyle Tip: When is less than half really half?

By Brianna Venekamp

P

ulling a section of your hair back is an easy go-to style, just like a ponytail.

However, the trick with half-up styles is to remember that they’re not half-up at all. Pull back only 10 to 20 percent of your hair at a time to keep it from looking thin and flat!

The Pickle Barrel

Unique Neighborhood Deli Is Big On Flavor

I

t takes only one visit to Pickle Barrel in the Park Ridge Galleria to make someone an avid, raving, loyal fan. Their enthusiasm is almost like being Irish on St. Patrick’s Day — people are that much in love with Irish owner Jen O’Brien’s restaurant.

For the past nine years, Jen and her longtime staff have created the most remarkable sandwiches in Sioux Falls. Starting at 6 a.m., they are baking bread and slicing meat, cheese and veggies to make the gigantic sandwiches people crave. “We’re one of the few that does all that,” Jen said. “I drive around town that early and see the other shops. Their lights aren’t on yet.”

The Pickle Barrel Park Ridge Galleria • 26th & Western Avenue www.picklebarrelsf.com Hours: M-F 11am - 8pm • Saturdays 11am - 5pm.

People come for the shop’s giant list of hot and cold sandwiches that are 17 1/2 inches long — beating chain sub shop sandwiches by a full 5 inches. “If someone new walks in looking for advice, we steer them toward the Pepper Steak to start. It’s steak from Montana, chopped here, green peppers, onions with Monterey Jack cheese melted in,” she said.

Jen’s personal favorite is the chicken salad.

“It’s got an unusual twist in that it has curry.

It’s not overwhelming, just a nice little hint of curry,” she said.

The original Pickle Barrel restaurant opened in Bozeman, Montana, in 1974. Jen worked there for three years and considers the owners her second parents. She asked them whether she could take their restaurant concept back home to South Dakota and they obliged. There are four Montana locations and the Sioux Falls shop.

Each location’s decor is up to the owner, and Jen chose an eclectic feel with local antiques, including old doors salvaged from a house demolition in the Cathedral district. The tables were made by a Hartford resident. And in addition to the assortment of Irish decor and antiques, photographs by Jen’s father and paintings by a Freeman artist hang on the walls.

Don’t miss the desserts. Jen’s staff creates seven-layer bars and heaven bars that are...well, heavenly.

Pickle Barrel in the Park Ridge Galleria is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturday until 5 p.m.

Celebrate National Pork Month

Recipes courtesy of the South Dakota Pork Council

Easy Cheesy Pork Chop and Rice Casserole Ingredients 4 New York (top loin) pork chops, 3/4-inch thick 2 cups cooked long-grain white rice 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup ricotta cheese, or cottage cheese Salt and pepper 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for casserole dish 1 tablespoon Italian parsley (optional) Cooking Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Oil a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the rice, vegetables, cheddar, ricotta or cottage cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish, sprinkle the Parmesan on top, and set aside.

54

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the chops and cook until browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Arrange the chops, browned side up, on top of the rice mixture and bake until the rice mixture is hot and the chops are cooked to 145 degrees F., about 30 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 3 minutes.

Serve the chops over the rice mixture, sprinkled with the parsley, if using.

Serving Suggestions To change things up, make the casserole with brown rice or a white- or brown-and-wild rice blend. You can also keep things interesting by using different frozen vegetable mixtures or your own mixture of blanched or steamed vegetables—or by using different cheeses. Bone-in pork chops can be used as well. On the side, consider a big green salad or sautéed spinach, kale, or chard.

Pulled Pork Tostadas with Slaw and Chipotle Cream Ingredients 1 pound cooked pulled pork , * warm or room temperature 3 or 4 limes 2 tablespoons canola oil, or other neutral-flavored oil 8 cups shredded cabbage, or 1 10-ounce bag coleslaw mix 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced Salt 1 cup sour cream 1/2 chipotle chile from a can of chipotle chile in adobo sauce, seeded and finely minced 6 8-inch Tostadas, (flat, crisped corn tortillas) 2 tomatoes, diced 3 radishes, cut into wedges

Client had brows, eyeliner & lip procedure

Gift Certificates Available Call 605-359-3424

Areola

Reconstruction with Permanent Makeup

Cooking Directions Halve and squeeze 1 or 2 of the limes to yield 2 tablespoons of juice. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice and oil. Add the cabbage, onion, and cilantro, tossing to combine. Add salt to taste. Cut the remaining 2 limes into 6 wedges each. Set the slaw and lime wedges aside.

In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and chipotle pepper. Season with salt and set aside.

Arrange the tortillas on plates. Top with the pork, slaw, sour cream mixture, and tomatoes. Arrange the lime and radish wedges alongside and serve.

Serving Suggestions If you like, you can use regular tortillas, warmed up, instead of the crisped ones, to make soft tacos instead of tostadas. And you can experiment with the slaw to make it your own – try adding shredded zucchini, thinly sliced bell pepper, or diced cucumber.

A Spooky Vacation Sleepy Hollow, New York

By Thea Miller Ryan

W

here better to spend an October evening than in Sleepy Hollow, the home of Washington Irving’s famous headless horseman?

In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Irving described the valley in New York state as one filled with spirits, where a “drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over the land, and to pervade the very atmosphere.”

Many visitors come to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery each year in hopes of hearing the echo of their authoritative haunt, the headless horseman, who fearfully chased fictional Ichabod Crane through the woods on that fateful night.

“The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region, and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air, is the apparition of a figure on horseback, without a head.

It is said by some to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper, whose head had been carried away by a cannonball, in some nameless battle during the Revolutionary War, and who is ever and anon seen by the country folk hurrying along in the gloom of night, as if on the wings of the wind.” —The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Whether the hoofbeats sound or not on any given night, tours of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery are filled with both the dark tales as well as some other tales of American legends such as Andrew Carnegie, Walter Chrysler, William Rockefeller and the memorable Leona Helmsley.

New Jersey native Dee DiMemmo, of Sioux Falls, has visited the area many times. Children who know the story aren’t as frightened by the cemetery after learning the significance it played in the history of the Hudson Valley, she says. The residents, some modern, some buried more than a hundred years ago, all tell the story “of the area’s importance to the Revolutionary War, art and literature,” Dee says.

56

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

says my dreams have o h “W to stay my dreams...

Afternoon guided tours dig into the history of the cemetery and its inhabitants. The tour guides tell Irving’s story, and point out the cemetery’s art, architecture and symbols on the grounds, including a tour of the 113-year-old underground receiving vault.

Evening tours are led by lantern light and pay respects to Irving, Revolutionary War officers and their monument, a Gothic monument of a wealthy merchant, and the graves of industrialists Carnegie and Rockefeller. The route includes the underground receiving vault.

Thrill seekers love to take the “murder and mayhem tour” that introduces some of the cemetery’s residents who were not so kind while alive. Tour guides carry lanterns to help visitors see the graves of a counterfeiter, “the wickedest woman in New York,” an opera singer accused of assault, extortion and murder of some of her seven husbands, and the scene of a grave robbery.

Just 25 miles north of Manhattan, New York, visitors to Sleepy Hollow can also find Washington Irving’s home where he wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Sunnyside may seem like a strange name for a home whose owner wrote one the darkest stories in American literature, but it describes the restored home well. Irving was a romantic and designed the house and grounds to reflect his views of history, art and nature. Inside, guests find Irving’s writing desk and books. Costumed guides at the home tell the story of the legend behind The Legend.

True Irving fans also might want to see Christ Episcopal Church.

Dee, who considers herself a “church geek,” counts this building as one of her favorites. “It’s where Irving worshipped and served on the vestry,” she says. “It’s a gorgeous church. Historic churches tell the story of a community, too.” The ivy on the walls of the church was taken from Sunnyside, Irving’s home, and his pew in the front of the sanctuary is still marked with his name. Records from the church say that an estimated 5,000 people came to his funeral in sfw 1859, many, many more than the church could hold.

Automobile Motivation

The Main Factors Females Fancy

By Jill Funke

W

omen have differing needs and desires than men when shopping for a new vehicle.

Luxury attributes, safety features and fun characteristics have been known to motivate buyers. Those who lust for luxury find that the 2014 Audi A4 delivers extravagance in the form of its prestige package. An optional driver-select package allows the operator to touch a button and change the vehicle’s handling and response among various modes, including efficiency, comfort, dynamic, auto and individual. Other elements of opulence include front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and a power rear sunshade. Ladies living for luxury also look to the 2014 Cadillac Escalade for its self-assured styling. The luxury model Escalade offers a blind-spot warning system and upgraded adaptive suspension, as well as the option of power-retractable running boards. Dual headrest-mounted screens help complete the Escalade’s video entertainment system.

Sometimes fun-seekers will think outside the box to find their enjoyment... they will be drawn to the Volkswagen Eos. A retractable hardtop roof with a tilting sunroof helps the Eos set the scene for a plethora of noteworthy adventures.

Volkswagen Eos

}

2014 Cadillac Escalade

Volkswagen CC A search for the best safety features will lead women to consider the Cadillac SRX or the Volkswagen CC. The premium SRX features a driverawareness package that includes a collision alert, lane departure warning and a vibrating safe alert on the driver seat that trembles on the left or right side of the seat, depending upon where the system has detected a potential hazard. There is also an automatic collision preparation and low-speed braking response, as well as cross-traffic alert systems and the OnStar automatic crash notification.

Audi A4

The Volkswagen CC is another vehicle that attracts safety-conscious drivers. The 2013 CC made the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick list after its outstanding performances in front, side, rear and rollover crash testing.

Stability and traction control, as well as antilock disc brakes are standard, while the executive model offers a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors.

2014 Cadillac CTS-V Women in a frenzy for fun gravitate to the Cadillac CTS - V. An optional panoramic sunroof heightens the appeal of this sports sedan, while a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound system boasts a CD/DVD player, iPod/USB audio interface, satellite radio, digital music storage and an auxiliary audio jack. The CTS – V’s CUE infotainment system allows the driver to control navigation, music and entertainment functions from a pop-up touch-screen display much like a tablet.

Sometimes fun-seekers will think outside the box to find their enjoyment. In those cases, they will be drawn to the Volkswagen Eos. A retractable hardtop roof with a tilting sunroof helps the Eos set the scene for a plethora of noteworthy adventures. On the inside, a touchscreen interface, iPod interface, six-CD changer, and satellite radio make the journey just as much fun as arriving sfw at the destination.

tanding on 51st Street amongst a host of other bidders, the Hansen family exercised true determination. One by one, they chiseled away at their competitors until they stood alone. But they weren’t bidding on antiques or machinery. They were at an auction to purchase their house. Eight years ago, Lornell and Liz Hansen decided to sell their large home and downsize. What they fell in love with was a 1973 multilevel home nestled among large trees and quiet streets. But the family of five knew the home needed some work to fit their needs. “We actually decided to live in it a while before we started any major work,” Liz says. However, her husband had other ideas. Lornell Hansen, owner of LazaDerm Skincare Centre in Sioux Falls, didn’t hesitate to start a project. “I’d come home to find that Lornell had started taking down sheetrock or removed spindles,” she laughs. “I guess we’re going to start that project now.”

They soon enlisted in the services of Bret Ferguson, owner of Gateway Homes LLC. Together, the once-dated multilevel house became the family’s home. “Bret did a great job and we’re so grateful for the expertise he brought to this project,” Liz says. And it shows. To complete the transformation meant precise engineering and state-of-art technology to ensure the home would be functional and comply with city codes.

One of the greatest challenges was the great room and kitchen. “The original plan was to raise the ceiling from a typical 8-foot ceiling height to a 9-foot ceiling height and finish with a coffered look,” Bret says.

installed large beams in the room to support the roof. “Ironically, the Hansens really liked the look of the ‘volume’ of the room and wanted to change from having a coffered ceiling to having the room vaulted,” he adds. “But to do this, we had to enlist in the services of Apex Structural Design since it would change the way the roof was being supported.”

The result was a complete transformation. The entry opens up to a large space that effortlessly glides from the living room to the kitchen and dining area.

a mounted flat-screen television. The furniture is warm and inviting. Soft blue hues and whitewashed surfaces define what Liz says is a “transitional style.” To add elegance, elongated wrought-iron sconces flank the fireplace. “Our old house was very form,” Liz says.

“We wanted this house to reflect a more simple, transitional style.”

With dark stained cabinets from Feucht’s Custom Cabinets, the kitchen remains light and airy with the vaulted ceilings and neutral tones of the grand space. But achieving that look required some skill. “We probably went more traditional with the cabinets,” Liz says. “But one thing we wanted is to hide the appliances, so that when you walk in, you only see the cabinets.” Cambria countertops from Creative Surfaces blend with the chocolate brown backsplash and sink from Handy Man Home Remodeling Center, while the center island’s painted wood is the perfect hint of simplicity.

Pendant lights and twisted banana leaf barstools accent the hub for daily life and gatherings. “We love the center island and how it turned out with the rest of the open space,” says Liz of the area that was once walled in. But even that had its challenges. “Sometimes when you change one thing it can have a ripple effect to other things,” Bret adds. “A big challenge for the center island was venting the gas stove. That took a lot of creative thinking to get it to work within city code and the manufacturer’s guidelines,” he says.

The once-formal dining room is now an open dining space that is easily accessible from the kitchen, making it more functional for the family. A large distressed dining room table acts as the focal point, while khaki high-back chairs and pendant light from Lamps and Shades Lighting Gallery lend a softer appeal. And while the original home did include a smaller dining area, that interior real estate was converted into a large utility room. “We actually added a wall, which created a space for a utility room,” says Liz, who loves having a large, easily accessible room with custom lockers for coats and shoes, a small computer area. and laundry facilities.

“I have to give the Hansens a lot of credit for the interior of the home. They really had the vision of what they wanted and how they wanted it to look,” Bret says. “There were some areas where we had to brainstorm, but overall, it was a great collaboration. I think the home turned out beautiful.”

While the main level great room is an eye-catching favorite, it’s the lower level where the family spends most of their time entertaining and relaxing.

From the projector and theater screen to the pool table, and from the casual leather sofa to the kitchenette, this area designed by Home Definition is used for family fun. “My kids love coming down here with their friends,” Liz offers. The walls are painted a neutral gray by Larry Cummings Painting and the kitchenette boasts black glazed cabinets. “We actually saw this entire cabinet setup at a home show and knew it would be perfect in our home,” she says.

And in this case, what you see is what you get. The unique curb appeal leading into the home is just as breathtaking as the large backyard. But it required a lot of creative thinking. “I love design work where I draw the project in my CAD (computer-aided design) program and provide 3-D visuals to the customer so they can envision what things will look like,” Bret says. “When we did the exterior of the home a few years ago, the plan was to replace the siding and windows and put some ‘shakes’ on the gable ends of the home. That would have been just fine.”

But Bret took it one step further to make the home stand out. “I added a gable over the front door area and columns on the front porch and showed it to the Hansens with my computer software and they fell in love with it.” Today, the home looks much different with the elaborate stone accents from Moran Masonry and the dual wood elements.

Perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the large backyard features a spacious deck with wrought-iron accents and opens to flagstone fire pit. “This entire backyard was just full of dead trees,” Liz says. “Everything you see here, from the white fence to the grass, had to be added.”

They even made sure to entice every sense, even hearing. A pondless waterfall trickles over stones and is surrounded by ornamental grasses and plants designed by Preheim Lawn and Landscape.

“We just love how everything looks and couldn’t be happier,” Liz says. “I even realized I had some design talent,” she laughs.

“This home fits our family today and will transform itself in the future. I can really see us living here for a long time.”

Everything and the Kitchen Faucet Kitchen Trends ‘Touched’ by New Technology

By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Susan DeWitte Photography

W

hether you’re a building a new home, looking to liven up your existing home or simply satisfied with your dwelling but keep an eye on current trends, you might be surprised to find that a new technology in kitchen faucets is creating a big stir. It’s called touch technology and it can be found in a number of styles and brands of kitchen and bath faucets.

Patsy Boeve has worked in showroom sales for Frisbee Kitchen and Bath for eight years and has seen first-hand how touch technology has taken off. “It’s been three to four years since Delta came out with one of the early touch faucets,” Patsy says. “Since then, more companies are following the trend and coming out with faucets that include the touch capability.”

Thankfully, it’s this competition in the marketplace that makes it great for homeowners who are looking for a large selection and low prices. But what makes this extra bell and whistle worth it? Patsy says convenience and safety top the list. “If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it’s great to have your hands free when using the sink,” she adds. “But we also see a benefit of being able to set the temperature control and flow of water. That can be important to a household with children so they don’t get the temperatures too hot for little hands.”

78

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

When using a Delta faucet, the technology requires the handle to be in the “on” position in order to work. Homeowners can select the water temperature and flow before they actually need it. To use the faucet, it’s as simple as it sounds: just touch. Patsy says most customers like the fact that they can run water just with the touch of a wrist or forearm on the faucet’s spout or neck. And if desired, Delta touch faucets will function manually as well.

{} “Right now, about one-third of kitchen faucet customers are buying in on the touch technology.

But I foresee these numbers growing as more homeowners become aware of the technology and benefits.” ~ Patsy Boeve, Showroom Sales, Frisbee Kitchen and Bath

Aside from convenience and temperature control, food safety can also be a factor for homeowners. Since the kitchen can harbor bacteria, having this type of technology is beneficial at reducing cross-contamination, which can lead to foodborne illness.

“Right now, about a tenth of the customers that are aware of touch technology are buying faucets that include the feature,” Patsy says. And unlike some other “upgrades,” this type of faucet can run as little as $50 more than the traditional faucet.

So whether you’re selecting or replacing a kitchen faucet, be sure to take a touch and see first-hand what this new sfw technology can do.

Genetic Testing

An informed decision for better health

By Stacy Jones • Photo courtesy of Sanford Health

J

ohna Kern’s sisters tease her a bit about her “similarity” to actress Angelina Jolie, she says with a laugh.

The 32-year-old woman has a bright white smile, like the actress, and a great sense of fashion. But the two women share something else – both tested positive for a genetic mutation that led them to opt for a preventive double mastectomy.

“My breasts do not define me as a woman and I decided that in the whole scheme of things, I’d rather take my health into my own hands,” says Johna, who has undergone both a mastectomy and hysterectomy in the past year.

A Family Legacy Like the Hollywood actress, the registered nurse from Canton, South Dakota, has a family history of the disease.

Johna and her two younger sisters lived through their mother’s diagnosis and successful treatment of cervical cancer and two incidents of breast cancer.

“We always kind of knew, deep down, that we were going to get it,” says Johna, who was 6 years old when her mother received her first cancer treatment.

In addition, Johna’s grandmother and a great-grandmother died from ovarian cancer. So last year, after their mother tested positive for the BRCA2 mutation, all three sisters were tested. While Johna had the mutation, her sisters were clear.

Sanford Health’s fellowship-trained breast surgeon Dr. Jesse Dirksen says Johna’s case is fairly unusual. First of all, only 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are genetically driven. There are plenty of options for women to consider, even if they test positive for the BRCA2 gene, he says.

82

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

Knowing Your Risk Dr. Dirksen says he sees many women at the Edith Sanford Breast Specialty Clinic who are concerned that they might be at high risk of developing breast cancer.

Factors that can put a person at higher risk for breast cancer include: • Age • Gender • Genetics • Family History • Race and Ethnicity • Dense Breast Tissue • Lifestyle Factors

The purpose of the Edith Sanford Breast Specialty Clinic is to provide a specialized form of education, risk assessment, genetic counseling and testing, individualized cancer screening, and proactive support for women. Dr. Dirksen met with Johna to discuss her history and help her determine what preventive treatment plans and screenings would be beneficial.

After her consultation, Johna decided to undergo the surgeries. She had experienced her mother’s cancer treatments and knew that she didn’t want to constantly worry about when her disease might start. Her surgeries have lowered her lifelong risk of breast and ovarian cancer from more than 90 to less than 5 percent.

Peace of Mind Johna says she had no misgivings about either surgery, and she’s now getting ready for the second phase of breast reconstruction. “I’ve been down a long road, but life is good today,” she says.

Dr. Dirksen encourages all women to be proactive in their health care and consult a doctor if they have any concerns about their breast health. Don’t wait for a test or referral, he says.

“A lot of fear and anxiety about a disease is in the unknown,” says Dr. Dirksen.

“We can empower patients with knowlsfw edge and put them in control.”

Putting Off Your Annual Mammogram?

Take advantage of early detection, advises ‘Think Pink Lady’ Patty Larson

By Donna Farris, for Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center

T

ypically, Patty Larson of Sioux Falls would not put much stock into psychics. But a message her daughter received caused her to think twice – and schedule a screening mammogram.

In the summer of 2010, Patty was showing horses at a county fair with her daughter. Her daughter thought it would be fun to stop at a psychic’s booth. The psychic said many things – some that never came to pass and some that were good guesses. Yet Patty’s daughter was also told to warn her mother to see a doctor about a life-threatening condition.

“It had been over a year since my last mammogram, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get checked out,” Patty says. She remembers laughing with the radiologist about the psychic’s advice, but when a biopsy was recommended, “It wasn’t funny anymore.”

Patty believes God used the cryptic message to get her attention – before her breast cancer could advance any further. Thankfully, Patty’s cancer was diagnosed at a stage 0.

She had breast surgery with reconstruction and needed no further radiation or chemotherapy.

“I think we’re blessed to have the technology we have,” Patty says. “Digital mammography is finding breast cancer earlier, in younger women. The advantages of early detection are huge. It can save your life.”

84

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2013

Had Patty waited until she felt a lump, her cancer would have been diagnosed at a later stage. Yet she realizes that cancer at any stage is a serious diagnosis. Patty remembers the day she went to her doctor’s office to receive the results of her biopsy: “I knew that once I crossed into her office, my life would never be the same.

I knew I was in Jesus’ hands, and that he would walk me through it.”

Patty is an Avera “Pink Lady,” serving as an advocate for breast cancer awareness. At first, she didn’t feel she deserved the title. “I didn’t get sick and I didn’t lose my hair.”

Yet Patty came to realize that she was living proof of the value of early detection.

During October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she encourages all women age 40 or older to get their annual mammogram. Being a clinic manager, Patty understands that some women are fearful of the procedure and put it off. “Too many of us think it’s not going to happen to me. So your breast gets smashed for a few seconds – it’s worth it to save your life.”

On average, mammography detects 80 to 90 percent of breast cancers in women without symptoms. Thanks to early detection, five-year survival rates of breast cancer have climbed from 63 percent in the 1960s to more than 90 percent today.

If breast cancer is detected while it is still localized, five-year survival is 99 percent.

Patty wears a pink bracelet as a reminder of her own experience and the importance of early detection. While it doesn’t define her, being a cancer survivor has changed Patty’s outlook on life.

A coffee mug in her office says it all – “I didn’t survive cancer to die of stress.”

She’s taking more time to enjoy the journey – which still includes a few county fairs each summer. Not so much to visit psychics, but to show animals with her children. sfw SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/nove m b e r 2 0 1 3

The Undercover Condition What You Need to Know About Hypothyroidism

F

eeling sluggish or worn down? Have you been experiencing weight gain or dry skin? You might be suffering from a hormonal disbalance called hypothyroidism. But don’t fret yet, many people show signs of these and only a few are officially diagnosed with the condition. Drs. Peter Kasznica and Thomas Tamura at Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat do point out, however, that hypothyroidism isn’t something to be taken lightly even though the warning signs are common. Here’s a closer look at hypothyroidism and how it’s treated.

About Hypothyroidism First, it’s important to understand hypothyroidism. “It’s defined as a deficiency of thyroid hormone caused by the thyroid gland not producing enough of the hormone,” Kasznica and Tamura say. It occurs 2 to 8 times more frequently in women than in men and there’s more than one type. “Some patients suffer from secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism,” the Sioux Falls physicians say. But these conditions differ in that they occur from decreased stimulation in glands other than the thyroid.

By Jennifer Dumke Studies have found new mothers also can be at risk. “Up to 10 percent of women can have hypothyroidism the first two to 12 months after delivering a baby,” the doctors say. “For these women, hormone replacement can be started or it can resolve itself over two to four months.”

What to Look For Knowing whether you have hypothyroidism can be difficult to determine because the condition has an array of common symptoms, such as:

• Feeling sluggish both mentally • Constipation and physically • Dry skin and hair

• Hair loss • Fatigue

• Feeling cold more easily • Depression

• Forgetfulness • Weight gain Kasznica and Tamura say it can take months and even years to for these symptoms to occur and it’s difficult to fully diagnose based solely on symptoms. In fact, some patients may not have any at all.

Causes and Treatments The most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States is related to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, also known as Hashimoto’s disease. It may have a complicated name, but the cause is rather simple. “Basically the body creates antibodies which injure the normal thyroid tissue, eventually causing hypothyroidism,” Kasznica and Tamura say.

Sometimes, your own medications might be to blame so it’s suggested that you review your current medications with your primary doctor if you’re diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

The best treatment is undergoing thyroid hormone replacement. “Most of the time, patients get started on hormone replacement, which doesn’t even require surgery unless the thyroid gland is large or there’s concern for a malignancy,” the doctors say.

There are many causes of hypothyroidism, some of which require further review by your physician. In general, internal medicine physicians and endocrinologists medically manage thyroid conditions and hypothyroidism. However, surgeons may be necessary for imaging and surgery if supplemental care is needed.

What Lies Ahead The condition affects almost 4 percent of the population and incidents increase with age. “We can’t say we’re seeing more cases of hypothyroidism, but as the population ages and lives longer, there will likely be an increase in hypothyroidism,” the two specialists say.

If you think you have hypothyroidism, it’s important to speak with your primary care provider or endocrinologist. Drs. Kasznica and Tamura offer endocrine evaluations with a focus on surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid disease.

Motivational & Challenging: Young Teacher Brings Out the Best in her Students


By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

W

hen Gina Benz finally accepted the offer to teach junior Advanced Placement English at Roosevelt High School in Sioux Falls, her one request was pretty simple. She wanted her classroom to have a window. While a host of reasons for her request run through your head, such as fresh air, sunlight or maybe even a view, for Gina, the motivation was quite the opposite. “I believe it’s the quiet moments that we’re truly thinking and discovering more about ourselves and this world,” Gina says. She goes on to explain that she uses the window as an anecdote; what happens outside the window may be fast and loud, but in her classroom, life slows down so one can listen, learn and understand.

“My style of teaching forces students to listen to each other, to the words of master authors, and ultimately, to the stirrings within their hearts as we discuss the art of writing, the science of writing, and of course, the human condition.”

~ Gina Benz Advanced Placement Program Coordinator Roosevelt High School

G

rowing up, Gina wasn’t always the inspiring and grounded teacher she is today. She was a typical girl who lived life “outside the window.” In fact, she didn’t even go to college to be an English teacher.

“It was more of a back-up plan, something to do before getting into graduate school and doing what I really wanted,” she laughs. But it was the process of obtaining her education that inspired her. “I couldn’t ignore the passion and purpose the Education Department at the University of Sioux Falls brought to my life,” Gina adds.

During this time, the young college student married her high school sweetheart and began her career. Over time, Gina blos92

somed, developing her own style of teaching that has led her to be the mentor she is today. “I quickly learned that all people want is to be heard and known. It’s so important to be a good listener,” she says. “In fact, listening is actually the platform for English.”

Aside from listening, Gina also bonds quickly and intensely with her students because she encourages them to be vulnerable. “I want my students to share personal anecdotes and beliefs through writings and discussion,” Gina says. “I treat that as a privilege.

There’s a level of trust that comes with hearing another’s story and that’s sacred to me.”

Gina has been teaching for thirteen years and has inspired hundreds of students. But

despite the repetition, she says each year is still new and she could never teach the same lesson plan twice because she relies so heavily on the personalities and emotions of her students. “Each group of students is different every year, which means there are different dynamics. But that’s what I love, being challenged every year.”

And so do her students. Former student Jessalyn Holsing is a freshman at Northern State University. Her major? Education. “I loved having Mrs. Benz as a teacher and even looked to her as a mentor,” adds Jessalyn. “I feel she really inspires her students by asking questions about ourselves and the world around us.” Jessalyn goes on to say that Mrs.

Benz teaches more than just reading; she includes how English affects a person. “She taught me how to write and it was like I had an epiphany,” she laughs. “I realized how happy I was in her class and how happy she was teaching. That’s the moment I knew I wanted to be like her.”

And there are more students like Jessalyn who believe the young, motivational teacher taught them English--but also how to feel important and smart. Gina knows not every student is inspired to the point of becoming an English teacher, but she’s still confident with her place in this world and how she’s positively affecting the community. “I try to find the good in everybody and believe that every student is smart in some way,” says Gina. Grounded and inspirational, the mother of two packs a mighty punch when it comes to making a positive impression. But it wasn’t always that way.

sics Never Go Out Of s a l C Sty e u l Tr

“It was just torture,” says Gina of the debilitating migraines that plagued her for years. “Pain changes people. They made me irritable and took away clarity and thought.” Suddenly, the thought of living a normal life with her loving husband, two young children and budding career became more of a dream than a reality; masked by ice packs and dark rooms. Her friends and family noticed the change and began helping her regain her life. But she wasn’t ready.

Ironically, it was that pillar of the English language that she had been teaching first and foremost that helped her: She finally listened. “I was told about the powerful effects of yoga but was always too busy. With the help of my fellow Roosevelt English teacher Jackie Wilber, I tried it again and fell in love with it. I found that through the instruction of yoga, I rediscovered my strength and learned to be mindful,” Gina adds. Although she still suffers from occasional migraines, they have been significantly reduced.

The timing was perfect as Gina was then offered a position as coordinator of Roosevelt’s Advanced Placement program. And for the first time, she was ready to throw her name in the hat. “My passion for the AP program was strong as I watched more and more students elect to challenge themselves with accelerated and AP classes. I wanted to be part of that.” But aside from teaching to advanced students, Gina also enjoys teaching remedial classes. “At Roosevelt, we have the philosophy that most students should try at least one AP class. We want our students to be placed where they are most challenged.” And Gina is proud of the wide variety of subjects offered at that level. “With so many, it’s pretty easy for a student to find at least one. We have Studio Art, Music Theory, Computer Science, in addition to all the core classes.”

ut Gina still struggles with the thought of leading the AP program at Roosevelt. “I got the position, but it feels strange to say I lead the program when it’s the students and fellow AP teachers who continuously lead with their enthusiasm for learning and ability to bring others into the AP community.” At age 36, the inspiring teacher continues with one struggle: saying good-bye every year.

“I teach a group of 120 students each year. Throughout that time, we bond and really get to know each other.

The hardest part is having to say goodbye at the end of the year,” she adds.

“Even though I know they’re going on to great things, it’s still difficult.”

Thankfully, social media has allowed Gina to keep in touch with former students, such as Jessalyn, and many others.

Today, Gina is blossoming both professionally and physically. “I’ve learned to take control of my body and mind, which allows me to be a better leader, as I continue to refine my style of teaching to what best suits the students,” Gina adds. “Inspiring others is what brings true joy to my life.” sfw

“I’m from the rural Tripp area where I grew up with two sisters. I was born in Tyn-

dall, where my mom originally grew up and my parents farmed,” Wilson says. “My dad was originally from the Tabor area, where my uncle still resides on the family farm.”

After high school, Wilson attained her associate’s degree in business from Dakota State University and Mitchell Technical Institute.

Today, Wilson takes pride in serving the City of Sioux Falls with commendable professional integrity and tact. Responsible for managing the mayor’s schedule, correspondence and numerous other duties, Wilson enjoys both the variety of her work and the talented co-workers with whom she has been privileged to work.

“There are so many city employees that work behind the scenes to make things happen,” Wilson says. “I look at each employee as a puzzle piece. Without one of the pieces, the puzzle isn’t complete. Every job is important.”

One of the best benefits of Wilson’s position is her opportunity to see the inner workings of Sioux Falls in action.

“It’s exciting to see all the changes happening in so many areas of the city,” she says. “I feel very fortunate to live in a clean city with a beautiful park system, bike trails, a low crime rate and good schools.”

Off the clock, Julie indulges in a guilty pleasure. “My dad was an excellent mechanic and a huge car enthusiast. His passion for cars is something he passed along to me. When my sisters and I were young, my dad drag-raced at Thunder Valley Raceway near Marion. To this day, I enjoy attending car shows and going to Thunder Valley to watch the races. In 2010, Craig and I purchased a new Dodge Challenger. What a fun car to drive! I admit that I love that car more than I probsfw ably should.”

Fabric and Friends Making Scarves for Women with Cancer

By Thea Miller Ryan • Photos by Prairie View Images

D

on’t ever think a woman from Geddes, South Dakota, can’t make the day brighter for 2,500 cancer patients a year. It’s entirely possible. And, Linda Schulte has been doing it for 10 years.

“I am an 11-year breast cancer survivor,” Linda says. “I experienced hair loss with my chemotherapy. I purchased a scarf similar to the ones we make. My mother designed a pattern and made me several to wear. I donated my scarves to the American Cancer Society when I was finished with them. I asked the ACS staff if they could ever use more of these scarves and they said they would love to be able to give them to women who have lost their hair.”

So, she did. She gathered fabric, friends, donations and a lot of heartfelt hours to launch the project she calls Scarves of Hope.

“With the help of my mother and a close family friend, we cut and prepare all the fabric,” she says. “I have two very dedicated seamstresses, who together sew over 50 scarves per week.”

The women make 2,500 scarves a year.

“Having cancer and losing one’s hair is such an emotional experience,” Linda says. “Our mission statement has always been to brighten the day of a woman battling cancer. I receive cards, emails and phone calls from women who are so grateful for the scarves. These correspondences that I receive assure me that this is being accomplished. I am so grateful that God has chosen me for this ministry,” Linda says.

Amy Peters, program resource specialist with the American Cancer Society, says the group is fortunate to work with Linda and her friends to provide the scarves to women going through treatment. “What we get from her, we give to all the women in our division. That’s women in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Iowa,” Amy says.

Women with cancer can call the ACS at 800-227-2345 for access to resources such as programs and services, transportation, help with lodging, emotional support and scarves. “We try to give two scarves to each woman who calls in,” Amy says. “They love to have them.”

Linda adds Scarves of Hope is always in need of donations. “Monetary or material,” she says. “If it’s material, it needs to be at least ¾ yard of cotton material with a random pattern because the scarf is cut on the diagonal. The material should be not too heavy or too thin.”

People interested in helping out by making a donation can contact Linda at sfw dlschulte@midstatesd.net.

Chinese Acupuncture Holistic Healing & Herb Clinic comes to Sioux Falls

By Darcie Bontje • Photos by Susan DeWitte Photography

D

r. Shwurong Lee likes to put his business in terms that people can understand: “There are 14 energy routes, or meridians, in the human body, and just like an interstate, they can get clogged with traffic. Acupuncture and herb medicine help clean up our own internal highway system to improve our overall health.”

After moving from California, Shwurong and his wife, Mayling, opened the Chinese Acupuncture & Herb Clinic near the intersection of 69th Street and Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls.

The couple was drawn to the city’s low stress, relaxed pace and many trees, and Shwurong says he enjoys an 85 percent customer return rate.

He says he began his practice with a focus on herb medicine. “In China, herb medicine is used in 80 percent of cases, while acupuncture is used only 20 to 30 percent of the time,” he says. “In the Western world, acupuncture is more popular.”

Shwurong, who received his doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine from Nanjing University in China, says patients can maximize results—especially for complicated chronic issues—by combining acupuncture with herb treatments that he prescribes.

Conditions treated at his clinic include: chronic pain; arthritis; digestive issues suffered by chemotherapy patients; vomiting, nausea and constipation after surgery; infertility; depression; anxiety; stroke victims; menopause; abdominal pain; edema; weight control; and common colds.

“Chinese acupuncture and medicine are surprisingly comprehensive and can have beneficial effects on almost any disorder.” ~ Dr. Shwurong Lee

Shwurong says his practice also provides patients with an overall health balance that makes his treatments more effective. “We go through a series of questions with our patients that tells us a lot about their overall health mechanics,” he says.
