Festival of Bands A Tradition of Talent on Display

By S.J. Menning

Y

ou’ve probably heard the distant drums and horns warming up with the sunrise as high school marching bands practice bright and early for the season. Or maybe you’ve seen the color guard spinning and tossing their flags with gracefulness and ease – a skill obtained only through hours of practice.

The regimen usually starts midsummer as a musical reminder of the upcoming school year.

It’s a commitment that band students and parents alike take seriously and find incredibly rewarding; a commitment that Festival of Bands USA is proud and honored to showcase.

22

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

Festival of Bands USA traces back to a small group of local band parents who realized the resources Sioux Falls had to offer combined with the positive experiences a local festival would provide for students in the region.

In 1988, the organization played host to its first competition with 13 parade bands and eight field bands participating. It soon became the region’s premier marching band event and retains that prestigious recognition. Today’s festival is still coordinated through the cooperation of the band programs of four Sioux Falls high schools: Lincoln, O’Gorman, Roosevelt and Washington. In its 27year history, the competition has never

been canceled. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the band students can tell you, the show goes on!

The mission of the organization is clear: Give music students an unprecedented opportunity to showcase their band programs, while inspiring students to keep music in their lives through college, military, and community band participation. In the end, the community reaps the rewards.

“Many people return to the festival year after year, whether to volunteer or just enjoy the bands, even after their

kids have graduated high school,” says planning committee member Sandy Frentz. As the students put their best foot forward in competition, parade-goers can feel the pride in the air watching the bands march down the street.

In recent years, as many as 37 visiting bands and Sioux Falls’ four high school host bands have participated.

This year, special guest bands will include SDSU’s Pride of the Dakotas, and the Marine Corps Band of New Orleans.

Bands are judged in parade performance and field performance independently, with awards presented to the winners of each school class ranging from 1A to 4A. Specialty awards are also presented for drum line, horn line, guard, and drum majors, along with a People’s Choice and a Grand Champion. The four host bands participate in the exhibition but are not eligible for awards.

Vulnerable Children’s Conference

Event a Resource on Adoption, Foster Care, Short-term Child Care

By Darcie Bontje

I

n Judee Howard’s words she gets to “watch miracles unfold in people’s lives” as branch director of Bethany Christian Services of Eastern South Dakota.

Still, some of those moments tug at the heart.

“People think adoption is so wonderful, and it is, but it is full of a lot of pain too,” Judee says. “Whether it’s a family experiencing infertility, children feeling a sense of abandonment, or a parent relinquishing their rights.”

As a global family preservation and child welfare agency, Bethany has operated the branch in Sioux Falls since 1997, which serves all of eastern South Dakota.

“Our vision statement is that every child has a loving family,” Judee says of the nondenominational nonprofit organization. “And that is our goal.”

Bethany is committed to finding a loving home for every child around the world who is in need of a family. Sometimes that means strengthening the existing family, sometimes it means finding safe alternative care, and sometimes that means finding suitable families to adopt.

To that end, Bethany is partnering with Abiding Savior Free Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls in November to host the Vulnerable Children’s Conference.

The event is for people interested in adoption, foster care or shortterm child care.

24

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

George Dennehy

Judee adds that it is also for people involved in ministry who want to take information back to their church. “This event is to help educate the community,” she says of the daylong gathering, which will include breakout sessions on a range of topics.

Inspirational speaker and musician George Dennehy will give the keynote address. George, who was born without arms, sings and plays music using his feet. He also has a powerful message to share with the Sioux Falls audience because he was adopted through Bethany from a Romanian orphanage at age 1.

“His is a story that needs to be told,” Judee says.

Worldwide there are 151 million orphans, and the foster care system in the United States includes more than 400,000 children, with an estimated 102,000 waiting to be adopted, Judee shares.

“We believe people want to help,” she says. “The Vulnerable Children’s Conference is a response to the question the church and people in our community are asking, ‘What can sfw we do?’”

PurpleLight Shines

Event Strives to Raise Awareness of Pancreatic Cancer

By Darcie Bontje • Photos by Roger Rose

I

n our color-coded world of red/blue states, Pantone’s color of the year and living “green,” the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network lets purple shine.

The group’s annual PurpleLight event, set for October 26, is held in conjunction with events in more than 50 communities nationwide.

Lori Murray, PanCan’s Sioux Falls community representative, says, “This event puts a light on our cause and brings awareness to our shared goal of doubling the pancreatic cancer survival rate by 2020.”

Today’s survival rate is just 6 percent, Lori shares.

“This cancer has not seen any significant impact on early detection or treatment in over 40 years,” she says. And to combat those statistics, Lori says, PurpleLight is not meant to be a fundraiser; it is intended to create awareness about the devastating disease.

“PurpleLight is a gathering of survivors, family, and friends who have been affected by pancreatic cancer,” Lori says. “Guests form a community of hope and are unified by the commitment to fight pancreatic cancer. Individuals gain both encouragement and comfort by illuminating purple glow sticks as they hear their loved ones’ names read aloud.”

This year’s vigil will culminate with the capitol building in Pierre being illuminated purple, which the group hopes to view at the Sioux Falls venue via live webcam. Attendees also will be invited to learn more about PanCan’s volunteer, advocacy and survivor/caregiver outreach efforts.

“We are waging war on pancreatic cancer and exhibiting relentless hope,” Lori says. “We look to grow our efforts locally, specifically over the next several months. We need more volunteers to fill critical roles to get us to the next level. We want to do 26

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

more fundraising locally and to do so requires an army of volunteers.”

At the national level, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network directs its funding to research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization raises money for direct private funding of research and advocates for more aggressive federal research funding.

“Because we are seeing dwindling dollars from the federal government, private funding has become even more critical to researchers in the field. It takes a lot of money to get research off the ground, and even more to keep it moving through all the various stages to gain FDA approval,” Lori says.

PanCan continues to fund basic science through grant opportunities that are directed to early career scientists, in order to build and grow the field of researchers. However, the group’s enhanced focus is now on funding research that is ready or nearly ready to be tested in patients in order to accelerate progress toward its 2020 goal of doubling the survival rate.

Lori adds, “I want to see more survivors. I am waging war on this cancer in honor of my mother, whom I lost in 2008 after a very brief battle.

Her questions of ‘why this cancer,’ ‘why me,’ ‘why isn’t there more they can do’ are the words that keep me fightsfw ing for others.”

One Night, One Mission Dress for Success Inspires Women to Thrive in Work and in Life Story & Photos by Margaret Pennock

F

ounded in New York City in 1997, Dress for Success is an international nonprofit focused on helping under-advantaged women improve their lives through finding and maintaining employment. In October of 2013, a Sioux Falls affiliate program was launched by founder Valerie Loudenbach and 15 founding board members. The program was started with a grant from the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation and a Paving the Way Forward Grant from the Walmart Foundation.

To celebrate their first-year anniversary, Dress for Success Sioux Falls is hosting a One Night, One Mission event to generate awareness and celebrate the mission of Dress for Success. According to Helen Hermanson, the One Night, One Mission event chair, “This is the major fundraiser for Dress For Success and is held during October internationally, which coincides with our one-year anniversary in Sioux Falls.

It’s a great event to learn more about the organization that in turn will help us with our mission. I’m a firm believer that without knowledge, there is often a lack of enthusiasm for volunteering and donating.”

Helen notes, “We’ve served 81 women in the past year of which 24 have received employment suitings, 54 of these have received an interview suiting and 59 have received Career Center Services. Seventy percent of our clients are young mothers with two to three children and the remaining clients are mature women perhaps widowed or divorced, whose income has been drastically reduced. We want all women, 28

whether under-employed or unemployed to gain financial independence.” Dress for Success Sioux Falls has partnered with 32 community organizations that act as referral sources for eligible women.

Dress for Success Sioux Falls relies on the support of donations to provide clothing and accessories for clients, but to also keep the doors open.

Helen shares, “As a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization, any money donated pays expenses such as rent, utilities, one salaried employee, etcetera and 100 percent of our donations stay in Sioux Falls. We always welcome nearly new women’s apparel, shoes, purses, scarfs and costume jewelry.

Gift certificates are needed from stores that sell women’s undergarments.”

In addition, Dress for Success also works with local businesses or groups to conduct clothing donation drives. For more information about Dress for Success or to purchase a ticket for the One Night, One Mission event contact program director Stacey Donovan at 605-610-0665. Dress for Success is located at 53rd Street and Louise Avenue and is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Thursday and Friday sfw from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Focused on Forever Brooke and Chris Goodson

By Darcie Bontje • Photos by Susan DeWitte Photography

I

n the age of digital dating, Brooke and Chris Goodson navigated their way through Facebook, texts, phone calls and Skype before finally meeting face to face two months later.

“We had a lot of time to get to know each other over the phone and via Skype, so I didn’t really feel it was our first time meeting,” Brooke says.

The best part of that first date for Brooke was that Chris was as sweet and genuine in person as he was virtually.

“I didn’t want to let him go. It was crazy.

That had never happened before,” she shares. “It was hard to find that connection with someone until him.”

For Chris, those early conversations lessened the pressure on that first meeting – a little.

“I was nervous and excited all at once. A woman has never grabbed my attention like Brooke did. She was that mysterious, sexy, and intriguing girl that I wanted to know more about every day. Then at last, I was standing in her doorway. … I had already fallen in love with her over the phone and then fell even more in love when I was finally in her presence,” he says.

However, the couple still endures a long-distance element in their relationship because Chris works as a supervisor for an oil field company in North Dakota. He is gone four weeks at a stretch and then home for two weeks.

Brooke is a hairstylist at Regis in Sioux Falls.

“It’s definitely not easy,” Brooke says of being apart. “I don’t think we could do it if we didn’t have such a strong bond. We’re crazy about each other. We cherish those moments on the phone as much as we do when we’re physically together because it makes us feel a little bit of that closeness.”

And when they do encounter challenges, the 24-year-old says, “Whatever it may be, we wouldn’t be the couple we are today had we not faced it; any challenge we have faced has never taken us further apart, it has only brought us closer together.”

“...She’s now my wife, my soul mate and is always going to be my best friend.”

~ Chris Goodson

The couple married August 9th at Penny Tree Events near Parker in front of about 185 guests. They each had six attendants. The Goodsons traveled to Fiji for their honeymoon.

Chris, age 24, says of the wedding day, “Brooke looked stunning and there I was falling in love with her all over again. I was emotional.

I couldn’t wait to be her husband.

When she reached me at the end of the aisle, we took hands and I felt at ease finally. The nerves wavered and she kept me calm just as she always does. She’s now my wife, my soul mate and is always going to be my best friend.”

Brooke recalls the planning and details being a whirlwind, but in the end, everything came into focus.

“I didn’t think it was ever going to get here, but when it came down to the day, all of that seemed to exit my mind and all I could focus on was that I was going to marry my best friend,” she says.

Her advice to other couples is to pay attention to the forever part: “Put more thought into getting along and making your relationship strong than into all those little wedding details.”

What Brooke sees as their greatest asset for the future: “We’re a lot alike in many ways, but we have a ton of differences as well. We mesh together perfectly because our differences keep us on our toes and our similarities keep us really grounded sfw with each other.”

Fashion How-to: Necklines and Accessories to Flatter Your Face Shape

By Brianna Venekamp

Becoming aware of what necklines flatter your unique face shape can mean the difference between creating a look that flatters or flops!

Square Faces

Tend to have equal width through the brow, cheekbones and jawline.

Scalloped collars, round, scoop, or V-necks, all soften square faces, as do hoop and other curve-style earrings.

Circle Faces

Need necklines to elongate the face, so V-necks and square necklines work best.

Necklaces and earrings should do the same. Look for contrasting shapes, single pendants, or bead strands, and earrings in thin, delicate strands, or chandelier style.

Triangle Faces

Have a strong, distinctive jawline, giving the lower part of the face more width.

Shirts with collars, necklines with scalloped edges, sweetheart necklines, and V-necks all flatter a strong jawline.

Avoid jewelry that comes to a point; instead opt for oval or circular earrings and curved necklaces.

Diamond Faces

Available at: L Couture Boutique

Require high collars to offer framing.

Pair with smaller drop-earrings or studs for a balanced look.

Necklaces are a must-have accessory for diamond-shaped faces; try layering styles to accentuate your neckline or chokers to frame your face.Â

Heart Faces

Have a delicate chin and wider cheekbones. Off-the shoulder, turtlenecks, cowl-neck, sweetheart, and scoop necklines are flattering choices.

Scarves are also a great accessory for you.

Oblong Faces

Are flattered by boat necks, off-the-shoulder necklines and strapless tops. Bold-statement earrings are ideal, or try wide chandelier styles.

Oval Faces

Are the most versatile shape because they are considered perfectly balanced.

Oval pairs best with plunging necklines, strapless, and spaghetti straps, and hoop earrings, chandeliers or teardrops also compliment your face beautifully.

Hairstyle How-to:

Find Best Cut and Style for Your Face Shape

By Brianna Venekamp

I

t’s generally accepted that there are seven basic face shapes. Knowing which category you “fit” can help enhance your best features and avoid style mishaps.

and middle parts. Select instead, asymmetrical styles, side-swept bangs or side parts, which are more flattering.

Triangle:

Avoid choppy jaw-length layers; instead select short cuts that add width at the crown and forehead. Keep long hair below your jawline.

Square:

Chin-length cuts, especially bobs, over-emphasize square features, so keep the ends of your hair away from your jawline. Steer clear of blunt bangs, opting for side-swept bangs instead.

Circle:

Avoid chin-length cuts, blunt bangs

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

Diamond: Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa Model: Amy • Stylist: Ashley

Angular faces have cheekbones that are wider than your brow bone and jawline. To balance, choose a cut that plays up your cheekbones!

Heart:

Heart-shaped faces look best with choppy, chin-length layers or a chin-length bob. Stay away from top heavy-layers, short boyish cuts or thick bangs. Slicked-back ponytails also draw too much attention to your chin.

Oblong:

Skip middle parts and instead add bangs, which are a great option to diminish length.

Keep hair full at the sides, with minimum height on top. Faceframing layers work beautifully.

Oval:

Lucky you! Pretty much any style will work for you! Just make sure to avoid disrupting your natural balance with a style that overaccentuates your length.

Zoup!

It’s All About Choices

By Thea Miller Ryan • Photos by Pennock Marketing

R

estaurant food choices just got better in Sioux Falls. There are a ton of places that specialize in burgers, salads, sandwiches and steaks, but only one that has a menu

full of soup.

Owner Anna Santos said the fast and casual Zoup!, at 41st Street and Kiwanis Avenue, offers 12 different soups daily. “It’s all about choices here at Zoup!,” she says.

The variety of soups is tremendous. “We have a lot of seafood soups, which aren’t commonly found on your daily menu in Sioux Falls. The shrimp and crawfish etouffee is a spicy seafood soup made with shrimp, crawfish, rice, green peppers, celery, onions, tomato paste and fresh thyme. And the lobster bisque is one of the most popular soups we offer,” Anna says. “It’s a mellow, real-cream

soup with lobster, crawfish, butter and a hint of sherry.”

Zoup! staff get a lot of compliments on offering food choices that aren’t readily available in the Midwest, Anna says.

Zoup! soups are prepared each morning. “An 8-ounce bowl of soup and a hunk of bread is a very filling meal,” she says. “Plus, a lot of people are coming in and asking us about calorie counts, and with your enlightened menu, we have lots of low-calorie soups. Daily, we have soups under 175 calories.”

On a typical day at Zoup!, diners can find soups such as chicken pot pie, gazpacho, Roadhouse sirloin chili, tomato cabbage, cajun chicken and sausage gumbo, bean soups and other excellent choices. There are low fat, dairy free, vegetarian and gluten-free options, too.

Diners can also order a sandwich such as a turkey club or a melted cheese

to go with their soup. There are salad choices as well, and the variety of salads is almost as great as the variety of soups.

What makes Zoup! stand out? “It’s different that it’s soup,” Anna says. “You don’t see a lot of restaurants that highlight soup; it’s an afterthought. Our fosfw cus is soup.”

Frozen Fiasco

Pre-Winter Maintenance Could Keep You From Being Stranded In The Cold

T

he Midwest’s arctic temperatures, paired with precipitation in various forms can place added stress on your vehicle. Automobiles often perform much differently in colder seasons than they did in warmer months. All too often, this can result in a vehicle not starting, potentially stranding motorists.

To guarantee the best driving experience possible throughout the year, automotive experts agree that a little preparation and tender loving care can ensure that your vehicle makes it through whatever challenges winter brings.

Kyle Skillman, new car sales manager at Graham Automotive, advises drivers to plan their vehicle inspection before temperatures plummet and winter fully arrives.

“Many drivers haven’t been focusing on the condition of their tires in warmer seasons. A sudden tire blowout or getting stuck after the first snowfall can bring the full realization that their tires need attention.”

Kyle advises that tires should be inspected for air pressure, sidewall wear and tread depth. A full vehicle inspection also should include a check of the ignition, brake system, wiring, hoses, fan belts, air filter, fuel filter and antifreeze levels. Getting the vehicle in for a pre-winter inspection is worth the effort because, as Kyle says, “No one wants to be stranded in the cold, waiting for a ride or a tow.”

“No one wants to be stranded in the cold, waiting for a ride or a tow.”

Kyle Skillman, Graham Automotive

The battery is another part of the vehicle that should be inspected. Ed Bloom, general manager at Sioux Falls Ford-Lincoln says, “Owners should ensure that their battery and charging system will stand up to the icy chill running through the air in the middle of winter.”

Ed says that oil isn’t as fluid in the winter, and vehicles tend to loose power in colder temperatures. This is unfortunate as he reminds drivers that they will be getting less power from the battery in the colder part of the year, which is precisely when the engine requires more power to start.

Because the battery is so important to the performance of the vehicle, he says, “We like to see people play offense rather than a reactive defense when it comes to their battery.”

A full vehicle inspection can help ward off, but not always prevent winter emergencies. Even the best drivers who use extreme care and caution could find themselves stranded.

For those instances, experts advise that owners equip their vehicles with an inflated spare tire, wheel wrench, tripod jack, shovel, jumper cables, tow and tire chains, salt/kitty litter, flashlight with extra batteries, cellphone adapter, matches, small candles, ice scrapper and tool kit to help get themselves out of a jam. In addition, pack a winter survival kit including blankets, hats, gloves, water, and food items such as energy bars sfw and raisins.

‘Don’t Miss’ Cruises: The Caribbean and Alaska

By Thea Miller Ryan

S

tress-free, worry-free vacations are hard to find, but cruise travelers often describe their trips as easy and relaxing.

The only hang-up often is choosing a cruise destination.

Options include the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska, river cruises, Mexico shorelines or European regions.

Two of the most popular cruises – ones that shouldn’t be missed – are the Caribbean and Alaska.

“We were ready for some heat after a long winter,” says Trish Grouzis of Sioux Falls, so her family chose the Caribbean for vacation. “The six-night, three-island cruise had destinations that at least each of us wanted, and a few ‘at sea’ days, which we desired as well,” she says.

She and her husband, Jerry, 6-year-old Dylan, and Trish’s 86-year-old mother were all on the cruise. “To entertain the age range of 6 to 86, and have everyone come off thrilled about the trip was a good feat,” she laughs.

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

The family had so many favorite parts of their trip. “The atmosphere on the ship was filled with excitement and anticipation,” she shares.

“People were polite, the kids camp was awesome, and the things to do were endless and very well-documented. All you had to do was explore while on the ship.”

Plus, the sunny scenery didn’t hurt the winter-weary family. “It was just like you see on TV,” she says. “It was beautiful blue water of all different colors, varying at each island destination and in between the miles of traveling in the open water.”

The scenery on an Alaskan cruise is unbeatable, too, says Amy Weber of Sioux Falls. She and her husband, Hugh, and 5-year-old Emerson and 18-month-old Finn went on an Alaskan vacation aboard the Carnival Miracle. “Not only was the scenery from the ship spectacular, the wildlife blew us away,” Amy says.

“We got up close and personal with some humpback whales, sea lions, bald eagles and caught glimpses of mountain goats and even black bears.”

It was “the perfect cruise for families,” she says. “The excursions at each port city were very accommodating for families – from train rides in Skagway to catamaran rides in Juneau, the four of us always had fun and were amazed with the experiences.”

Vacation cruises such as Alaska are best taken during the hot South Dakota summer months, but need to be scheduled in the winter months.

It’s just the opposite for Caribbean cruises – schedule them in the summer for the best time to get out of the cold winters.

Amy adds, “The entire experience was a once-in-a-lifetime opportusfw nity.”

Luxury

on the Lane

By Jennifer Dumke Photos by Cipher Imaging Architectural Photography

If

walls could talk, then this 1937 colonial home would speak volumes. After nearly 80 years standing tall with pride, this traditional style historic

Makeover

a Modern-Day

Historic Gem

home has gone under the hammer not once, but multiple times in efforts to update, expand and customize.

The end result is a gorgeous collaboration of past and present, laden with tasteful trends and unique finds.

It

all started nine years ago when Patti Abdallah fell in love with the quaint little street known as Pendar Lane in Sioux Falls and the two-story home that sat nestled amongst the winding, tree-lined road.

Already meticulously maintained and updated, Patti and her husband saw opportunity and nostalgia in the house and were ready for a place to settle in and raise their two children. “The home had great bones and we saw opportunities for us to enhance the home while keeping the original character,” Patti says. They quickly went to work and over the years, have made major changes such as removing walls, adding woodwork, replacing windows and even converting storage space into a guest suite.

“I love remodeling,” she says smiling.

“I’ll always have a project in my head.”

Thankfully, the two-story stunner gives her the perfect palette to personalize.

Starting

with the main entryway in 2005, walls were removed to open up the foyer, showcasing a partially open staircase. Careful not to get too formal in the living room, Patti selected casual fabrics to contrast against the silver and glass accents and ornate wrought-iron pieces.

Thick trim was added throughout and painted a crisp white to contrast with the muted grey wall color.

Original wood floors were refinished

by Madera Floors Inc. and intricately patched where walls were removed.

Two front windows were replaced with small French doors that open to small patios with cobbled floors, also adding to the home’s curb appeal. The couple chose to keep the original wood-burning fireplace and add a marble surround and fresh coat of white paint to the original wood mantle to keep with the integrity of the home. Dual original bookcases were also restored and elaborated with additional molding and a large, decorative piece to connect the two above a French door.

What was once the home’s exterior and back patio is now a comfy family room that opens up to a casual dining area and kitchen. Although the addition was previously constructed, the Abdallahs gave it a full makeover. “During construction, we discovered the original paver patio under the addition,” Patti says. Other unique finds included the original house plans, discovered rolled up in between the floor joists. “We plan to have them framed someday,” she adds. With dark, hardwood floors, also by Madera Floors, and a corner built-in cabinet reminiscent of days gone by, they made sure to utilize period elements in the new space.

“The bay window and wood-burning fireplace were already here,” she says.

“But we added thick moldings and stone to really make them stand out.”

Finishing things off is a plush sectional and flat-screen television.

Patti describes her kitchen and casual dining area as the heart of the home. The space functions well with easy access to the family room, but when it comes to breathtaking beauty, it’s nature that gives this space its appeal. “We added the triple French doors on this back wall to allow for sunlight and to view our backyard gardens.” With reams of ivy winding along a Greek-key accented wrought-iron fence and cobbled pathways leading around overflowing flower pots and vibrant perennial beds, the lower level of the outdoor space is simply picturesque. And what better way to take it all in than from the upper-level patio seating area. Complete with a partial pergola covered in ivy and quaint dining set, both areas are distinct in their attractions. Toward the back of the yard, a fire pit is a fun spot for the family and has direct access to the guest suite above the garage.

In 2008, the home underwent another major renovation. The Abdallahs converted the upper portion of their SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

detached double garage, which was used for storage, into the perfect spot for visitors. With vaulted ceilings and a full bath, even what’s separated from the home keeps with the nostalgic feel.

H a r d w o o d floors continue throughout the bedroom, w h i c h includes French d o o r s that lead to a quaint balcony overlooking the back gardens. The full bath is bright and airy with a skylight and pale blue painted walls that add a subtle contrast to the white wainscoting. Honed limestone tile, a corner shower and furniture-style sink round out the full bath. “It’s funny,” Patti shares. “We have a guest room in our house but since we added this, most want to stay here.”

After

the garage makeover, one of the couple’s major remodeling projects took place four years later with the assistance of well-known Sioux Falls builder Brad Weber. It included a major kitchen remodel, an addition, a face-lift throughout the home, as well as updated wiring, electrical and heat. And it didn’t end on the inside: With the help of family friend and local architect Bob Natz, the couple boosted the home’s curb appeal while keeping with the period look. Elements such as corbels and shutters were restored.

While other points of interest, such as a canopy, dormer windows, columns, a pergola and lush landscaping, were carefully selected to keep with the likeness of the home.

In the kitchen, meticulous work by Weber Construction helped to move an existing powder bath and gain three feet of space, turning the once-cramped kitchen into a bright, open workspace.

Stainless-steel appliances by Mahlander’s Inc. blend with the painted white custom cabinets from Dakota Kitchen & Bath. The large center island is finished off with a Carrera marble countertop and accommodates a sink and seating for three. Black granite countertops from Syverson Tile & Stone were selected to add interest resulting in an exquisite contrast to the dark grey walls. Three custom glass artwork pieces on the wall opposite the island add the perfect punch of color.

“It all started with this,” says Patti with a smile, as she shows off a marble vessel sink in the newly placed powder bath from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery. Despite something so small being the catalyst for hundreds of square feet of unique design and architecture, Patti proves it’s the little things that can have the greatest impact.

Before leading upstairs, the formal dining room takes a turn for the dramatic side with a deep gray wallcovering, large windows adorned with neutral side panels from DeWitt Design Inc., and rich wood furniture. A custom buffet and original wood floors retain character, while a shiny chrome pendant light fixture from Mahlander’s gives the perfect hint of modern.

it comes time to call it a day, the family heads upstairs. “One of the main reasons we purchased this home was the master bedroom,” Patti explains. The expansive space has a vaulted ceiling accented by a distressed wrought-iron chandelier. A fireplace, seating area and private balcony offer pure relaxation and luxury. A large, black Chinoiserie armoire anchors the large space against the crisp wood trim and white plantation shutters. Leading through a large walk-through closet, the master bath is the perfect partner in design. It features a walk-in tiled shower with body sprays and speakers, all controlled digitally; a collaboration that was purchased through Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting and was installed by Frisbees Kitchen and Bath Showroom. The floors are covered with Tunisian limestone tile. Meanwhile, a modernized damask pattern is featured on the wallcovering, which lends the perfect backdrop to the soaker tub, dual sinks with Silestone countertops from Creative Surfaces Inc. and custom vanity.

With

family friendly in mind, the two children’s rooms are the perfect reflections of their individuality and each have their own private baths.

Even after nine years and numerous remodels, the unique character and charm of this colonial house keeps getting better with age thanks to the tireless efforts of the Abdallahs. “We just love this home and the location,” Patti adds. “It’s been a labor of love to remodel, but I enjoy doing it and have also enjoyed raising sfw our family here.”

The New Modern Contemporary Furniture Tops the Trends

By Jennifer Dumke • Photos by Susan DeWitte Photography

C

lean lines, unique fabrics, and yes, soft upholstery and accessories are all part of the new trends in contemporary design. Gone are the days of stark rooms with a futuristic, almost unlivable feel. The latest trends in contemporary design have evolved into a more “mainstream modern” that has already entered the homes of many in the area.

Eric Sinclair, president of Montgomery’s, has been going to market for more than 14 years and is on top of interior design trends.

He says what’s happening now is all about contemporary. “It’s interesting. Contemporary design has been the movement for the past one or two years from almost every manufacturer at market.”

In fact, Montgomery’s recently opened a store dedicated to contemporary furniture called Montgomery’s Modern. In it, customers will find a breathtaking mixture of soft upholstery, oversized and unique accessories and a variety of metals and woods. “It used to be the worn over time look with leather and a lot of distressed wood for an old-world feel,” Eric says. “And that is still popular and we continue to cater to those customers. But the latest trends offer a more streamlined, clean look that’s light and airy in both wood and upholstery.”

78

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

He says that the new trends typically start with a neutral base tone, which makes it easier to bring in color. Furniture lines remain straight, but accessories can take a much bolder approach. Eric adds that mainstream modern still allows for a modified eclectic mix – think a tufted sofa with curved back paired with a modern ensemble – and still pull off a tastefully done contemporary design. Part of the “modernized modern” is that homeowners can integrate contemporary pieces into existing rooms while others may have the opportunity to start fresh.

Other new trends include lighter toned woods, metallic leathers and statement pieces such as dining room tables. “A lot of design categories or trends may come up with ‘micro-trends’ that come in and out of style within a year,” Eric adds. But with his extensive experience in the design industry, he says the mainstream modern look is something expected to be seen for a long time.

“I would even consider it more of the norm than a trend.”

So whether your home is a clean slate for design or you’re looking to enhance just a single room, the latest trends in mainstream modern keep homes looking to the future rather than the past. sfw

Fighting Back

Take on Breast Cancer Through Prevention, Hope

By Donna Farris for Avera Health

B

reast cancer is all too common, affecting one in eight women sometime during their lifetime. How can you fight back?

First, be proactive. Schedule regular mammograms after age 40, and at any age, know your own body. You might be the first to know when something has changed or doesn’t feel right.

Eat a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight, as obesity has been tied to breast cancer as well as other diseases. “We all want to improve our odds, and there are lifestyle changes we can all make to reduce our risk of cancer,” says Amy Krie, MD, and Medical Oncologist who specializes in breast cancer with Avera Medical Group Oncology & Hematology Sioux Falls.

Second, realize that the latest medical science has made breast cancer more treatable than ever.

Examples include genomic science and intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOeRT), which reduces the course of radiation treatment after lumpectomy for selected patients.

“We’re at a pivotal moment in cancer research when we can apply genomic profiling to targeted therapies. I truly believe it will lead to a cure of breast cancer in the next decade,” says Brian Leyland-Jones, MB BS, PhD, Vice President of Molecular and Experimental Medicine at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center.

Third, never give up hope!

Kim VanderPoel of Harrisburg had just turned 40, yet otherwise had zero risk factors for breast cancer. Her baseline mammogram signaled an area of suspicion that needed to be rechecked. In the meantime, she felt a lump in her left breast.

Kim was ultimately diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, which was present in both breasts. “It’s not fed on hormones, and

there’s not a good reason why people get it. It also tends to be more aggressive,” says Kim, a nurse.

“It stopped me dead in my tracks.

I was doing everything the magazines tell you to do to prevent cancer.

I was busy with living my life – pursuing my career, being a mom, helping my husband with his business,” Kim says.

She opted for a bilateral mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy, radiation and reconstructive surgery.

Kim’s three children, ages 13 to 22 at the time, as well as her husband, Ferlin, needed her. So in addition to treatment, Kim fought back with hope.

A friend had given her a “blue bag” – a bag filled with fun little things to open when you’re feeling blue. “When you’re feeling sick, it’s easy to lose hope. Everyone else around you is living their lives. It was nice to open a blue bag and realize that someone had thought of me.”

As she recovered, Kim started the nonprofit ministry Hope Lives Now, which provides support and encouragement through hope baskets, hope blankets and blue bags. “There are some amazing stories on how these little gifts have impacted people’s lives,” she says. She also began writing a blog.

Kim also hopes to have an impact as an Avera Pink Lady. Pink Ladies are breast cancer survivors who help get the word out about prevention and early detection. “I’m a huge advocate for mammography, but also self-breast exams.”

Kim has reached the milestone of being a five-year survivor. She got to see her youngest daughter graduate from high school and “run on the hills” with her first grandson, Apollo.

She has also learned to say “today’s the day” instead of putting dreams off until tomorrow. “Moms tend to put their own needs aside. But we need to demonstrate to our children that our needs and our dreams are important, too.”

The Science of Your Sinuses Simple Steps Can Improve Health

By Jennifer Dumke

I

t’s hard to believe that Americans lose more than 73 million days of work and school each year because of allergies or infections that inflame the sinuses. Luckily, there are some easy steps to keeping these airspaces healthy. Daniel W. Todd, MD, FACS at Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat, specializes in allergies and has years of experience working with patients who suffer from sinus infections. He offers tips on how to keep your sinuses healthy.

But first, it’s important to understand the science of your sinuses. Although many theories exist about the purpose of these air-filled spaces, Dr. Todd says he believes their ultimate job is to make mucous – a lot of mucous.

“Your sinuses produce up to a liter of mucous each day.

That would literally cover meters of surface area,” Dr. Todd explains. This serves as nature’s way of warming, filtering and moisturizing air for lungs. Unfortunately, their tiny air tracts are easily blocked by infections caused by viruses, bacteria or allergies, proving the importance of proper sinus health and early detection methods.

“There is certainly an art to caring for the sinus patient, as everyone is different. The goal is to keep your sinuses healthy to avoid a chronic problem.”

Daniel W. Todd, MD, FACS Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat 84

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

Rinse

The first thing Dr. Todd suggests is to rinse out the sinus cavity with salt water. Saline nasal sprays and irrigation kits can be purchased at most local pharmacies. “We’re essentially saline beings, so rinsing out the nasal and sinus passages with salt water is always helpful,” he adds. In fact, swapping for distilled water is a painful mistake. The idea is to wash out the irritants, debris and potential allergens. “Matching our body’s salt content in the rinse keeps things more comfortable. I oftentimes have my patients wash out their nose while taking a shower,” Dr. Todd says. Regular sinus rinsing or using a rinse at the onset of an infection can prevent or even stop a pending problem.

Hydrate

Just drinking plenty of water or using lotion, your sinuses can benefit from proper hydration. “After rinsing, I suggest my patients apply a thin layer of bactroban ointment into the nostrils to keep things moist,” he adds. “This seems to lessen the frequency and severity of infections.”

Another tip is to use a humidifier in the bedroom, which is the room of choice when it comes to benefiting from the added moisture. Just be sure to clean your humidifier daily or it can become a source for sinus problems.

Keep Your Hearing At Its Best

Avoid

Everyone can benefit from proper sinus health. “Allergies can aggravate patients at any age,” Dr. Todd says.

“We’re just starting to understand how certain things like food can contribute to upper airway issues.”

He says many of his patients have dramatically improved their sinus health by cutting out things such as gluten or dairy from their daily diets.

Exercising these simple, yet effective, tips will aid your sinus health and keep those sick days to a minimum. sfw

Same Organ, Different Problems

Understanding Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attacks

T

By Scott Pham, MD, and Medical Director of Electrophysiology at Sanford Heart Hospital hink sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack are the same?

Think again. However, if you consider these two cardiac conditions interchangeable, you aren’t alone. Most people make this mistake, but it’s important to understand the difference.

First, I want you to think about your home. There are electrical and plumbing systems working every day to keep your home functioning like you want.

And if either system malfunctions, you have much different problems to tackle.

86

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

Now think about your heart in the same way. While both heart attacks and cardiac arrests are medical emergencies that require immediate treatment, they do not affect your body the same.

How they differ During a heart attack, your heart’s “plumbing” – or circulation – is affected. Blood flow to the heart is blocked, similar to a clog in your home’s pipes.

Symptoms of a heart attack include excessive fatigue, palpitations or the feeling of your heart skipping a beat, difficulty breathing, and chest pain or discomfort. The blockage reduces blood

flow and therefore oxygen to the heart.

Without treatment your heart muscle will begin to die, potentially causing permanent damage to the heart, which can be fatal. Your heart does not stop beating during a heart attack, unless it causes cardiac arrest – so it is possible to experience both a heart attack and cardiac arrest.

When sudden cardiac arrest occurs, an “electrical” issue causes the heart to malfunction without warning and unexpectedly stop beating. This breakdown is similar to a short in your home’s electrical wiring that leads to a power outage.

Unlike a heart attack, sudden cardiac arrest shows no symptoms, but if you have a heart condition, you may be more at risk for this to occur. The electrical malfunction happens suddenly and causes your heart to beat irregularly, what we call arrhythmia.

When the pumping of the blood is interrupted during arrhythmia, it means the brain and other vital organs are not getting the blood they need. Within seconds, a person can lose consciousness and the heart can stop beating. If not treated immediately, a person can die within minutes of going into sudden cardiac arrest.

How you can help For heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest, the first step is to call 911 to get emergency personnel to the person in trouble right away. On average, people receive treatment one hour sooner when emergency personnel are called, versus being driven to the hospital.

If you suspect sudden cardiac arrest, use an automated external defibrillator, or AED, or begin handsonly cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately.

Don’t know CPR? It’s time to learn. There are several organizations that will teach you at no cost.

According to the American Heart Association, you should perform CPR to the beat of the song “Stayin’ Alive.”

Don’t have access to an AED? It could mean the difference between life and death. Encourage your workplace, businesses you visit or organizations you are a part of to purchase an AED and have it readily available and visible. These devices are very user friendly and vocally provide step-by-step instructions, allowing virtually anyone to use them.

Remember that acting quickly can save lives, regardless of the consfw dition.

Take Control of Your Allergies

A

re you tired of waking up every morning wondering if you’re going to have a good day? Looking back, did you get to enjoy your summer and fall the way you wanted to? If not, it’s time to take action. If you suffer from allergies, they can be taking an incredible toll on your health and your quality of life as well as creating havoc with your lifestyle.

Many allergy sufferers believe the only help they can find is through medication that can relieve allergy symptoms, but that isn’t the case. Denton Combs, CNP at Denton Combs Center for Excellence, has been working with patients to combat their allergies for more than 15 years with an incredible success rate of 90 percent! He notes, “Once an allergy sufferer decides to quit letting their condition dictate their life, they can move forward with a treatment plan that can actually solve their problem, not just mask the symptoms caused by that problem.”

In fact, not treating the root problem can actually lead to even worse symptoms as you age. “If you choose to simply treat your symptoms and do nothing to fix the real problem, your allergies can continue to worsen until you’re 55,” Denton states.

You experience allergies when you are exposed to something, called a trigger, which your body over-reacts to causing an immune response. These reactions are meant to protect your body, but they also frequently cause mild to severe discomfort, pain and worse. The Asthma and

“If you’re ready to stop letting allergies dictate your life I can help. Through testing and a sound medical treatment plan, we can work together to get your life back the way you want it.” ~ Denton Combs CNP, Denton Combs Center for Excellence in Care

Denton Combs

Allergy Foundation of America notes, “This can result in symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose and scratchy throat. In severe cases it can also result in rashes, hives, lower blood pressure, difficulty breathing, asthma attacks and even death.”

Denton says, “In my experience, the majority of my patients are dealing with chronic congestion or a runny nose that can really make them miserable on a daily basis.

These people never know how they’re going to feel every day when they wake up so it really causes disruption in their lives. I can help them take control of the situation and get the lifestyle back that they want to enjoy.”

D aw n Backer Inspires V i s u a l ly Impaired t o Recl aim Their Independence Story and Photos

By Margaret

Pennock

“I love this job and that’s why I’ve never left, but I also think I would have found something in teaching high school students that would have made me happy too.

You just have to look for happiness.

You make the choices yourself to make yourself happy.” ~ Dawn Backer

Dawn

Backer has never had a desire to stray very far from the family and city she has loved her entire life. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, she still enjoys connecting with friends and family daily even though her hometown isn’t as small as it used to be. An alumna of Washington High School, she and husband Rick are the proud parents of two sons, Corey and Austin, who also attended Washington.

“I’ve never wanted to move away because my family was here and I loved having a support system from them as my boys were growing up. I am fortunate to have my mother, Bernice Nelson, and my husband’s parents, Clayton and Marlene Backer, living in Sioux Falls who are all very important in my life,” Dawn says.

Following high school, Dawn enrolled at South Dakota State University in 1980. A practical planner even then, she shocked her family by marrying her fiancé Rick when she was a sophomore. She laughs, “We thought Rick was going to be transferred and I wasn’t going to get left behind! We shocked everyone, but I did promise my mother I’d finish college.”

True to her word, Dawn worked toward her degree in Family and Consumer Sciences with the goal of teaching high school students. However, while wrapping up her senior year, she took a job teaching adults food assistance and how to manage their nutrition. The position changed her career path and ignited a passion for helping adults maintain their independence in their own homes.

“Most people fall into the field of blindness by accident, just like I did. I was looking in the paper and I saw the ad and I applied for it. The job involved teaching independent living skills in the homes, which ended up being a perfect niche for me,” Dawn says. “It was teaching very similar skills that I had gone to school for, just working with a different group of people. The people I saw were so appreciative of me coming in to help them and were happy to have me teach them the skills that allowed them to stay in their own home. I was teaching them things like marking their stoves in a way which allowed them to cook even if they couldn’t see the setting on the knobs clearly. I was able to teach them many different life skills which kept them in their own homes.”

Today, Dawn is a 30-year veteran of the South Dakota Rehabilitation Center for the Blind, and she says she has never wavered in her decision to work with visually impaired people. Having held many positions over the years, Dawn now is the center’s manager and is also a certified low-vision therapist.

“We teach people who have vision loss to regain their skills to live independently or return to work,” she explains of her career teaching others to be self-reliant and ultimately, achieve happiness.

New location- but same excellent service since 1991

That end-goal – achieving happiness – has guided her throughout her life.

“You have to encourage people to keep going because learning new things and getting out of your comfort zone is hard. The alternative is quitting, which usually means staying home and often being afraid to leave or go out because you don’t know how you can do it,” Dawn says. “Working with people and helping them realize they can live a happy and fulfilling life is extremely rewarding to me.”

Another valuable credo is: “You can’t come to work and have a bad day because the people who come to us for help may be struggling and they need to be able to count on us.

We need to be positive and encouraging. … I’m honored to have been in the position to help others find the happiness in life that I’ve been blessed with.”

Dawn’s profession has also taught her firsthand that treating all people with respect is paramount to that happiness.

“I am passionate about treating others with respect and to treat each other as equals. I don’t like when people talk about people as if they are different or putting them in a different category other than ‘normal’ because what is ‘normal’ anyway?”

Dawn says. “People are people first and shouldn’t be identified by their disability.

People shouldn’t be referred to as ‘the blind girl’ or ‘the blind man’ or ‘they are a handicapped person.’”

Her belief in such compassionate equality and self-determination led her and her husband of 32 years to be committed to sharing those views with their children.

Dawn notes, “Our parents were great role models for volunteering and giving to others, and I wanted to do the same and demonstrate the importance of community involvement to my children. We encouraged them to volunteer at church and school by being role models for them.

We taught their Sunday school classes and encouraged them to be involved in activities at church and school. They were involved in school mentoring, taught Sunday school, belonged to student council and a variety of other activities.”

Today, both children are following their own life’s pursuits: Austin attends the University of South Dakota and Corey works as a CPA in Omaha. She says, “I can’t wait for my boys to come back. Their goal is to be back in Sioux Falls within five to six years. If they’re not, hopefully they’ll at least be within drivable distance. But you never know where work takes you.”

In her free time, Dawn says family and friends are her ‘interests.’

“I enjoy being with people and spending time at the lake or having dinners with friends. I love to spend time making our house warm and inviting, which might include shopping for the new and unique home decor. I do love to go shopping,” she laughs.

But superseding everything is her life with God. “My faith is important and I try to keep my priorities in check with the order of God, family and work. My source of support is my husband, family, co-workers and girlfriends – I always wonder what people sfw do without good girlfriends!”

“I am passionate about treating others with respect and to treat each other as equals. ...People are people first and shouldn’t be identified by their disability.”

Gifting a Healthy Glow

Cancer & Lupus Patients Offered Complimentary Spray Tans Story and Photos by Margaret Pennock

B 98

eing diagnosed with cancer is a devastating blow for many individuals. Keeping a positive outlook during treatment is often challenging, especially when your body is undergoing changes that are physically draining and mentally exhausting. For Mary Timmer, owner of Tan on Demand in downtown Sioux Falls, providing complimentary spray tans for these patients is her way of helping them feel better about themselves during a very trying time.

Mary chose to go into the spray tanning business because she wanted to offer a healthy alternative to tanning outside or in a tanning bed but still provide gorgeous, sun-kissed looks.

She notes, “From day one, I knew I wanted to offer free sprays for cancer patients and/or people diagnosed with lupus. I lost my mother to cancer and my brother to complications from lupus, so I was passionate about offering those services. I have met so many incredibly strong, courageous people providing this service over the years. Some still fighting cancer, some cancer free and others who have been called home. But my life has definitely become more enriched by the experience because those individuals allowed me to spend that moment in time with each of them.”

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

Breast cancer survivor Karen Scherff had heard about the service from a family member. “Mary was so nice and very professional when I called to make an appointment. The tan really helped me feel better after going through cancer treatments. It’s a really wonderful, compassionate service that Mary provides.”

“Each time I provide a free spray, it’s because someone new has been diagnosed with cancer or lupus. I had a vinyl quote on the mirror of my previous salon and it read, ‘In the gentle depths of the soul, everyone deserves to feel beautiful.’ That’s truly my belief and the basis behind why I started Tan On Demand.” ~ Mary Timmer Owner of Tan on Demand

Spray tanning is endorsed by the National Cancer Society as a safe alternative to tanning. Tan on Demand is located in the historic Gourley Building at 400 North Main, Suite 104, on the corner of Sixth Street & Main Avenue. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 605-521-9508 or visit www.tanondemandsd.com. Cancer patients sfw must have a doctor’s release.

Learning Through Play Denita Dinger Promotes Benefits of Child-led Environments

By S.J. Menning • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography

D

enita Dinger has a long list of titles: family childcare provider, business owner, public speaker, author, group fitness instructor, and – quite possibly her favorite – play

facilitator.

When she opened her first childcare service 16 years ago, Denita was almost offended by the word “play,” feeling an intense need to show each parent the lesson plans they covered that day. “Yes, we play for a bit, and then we get to the important stuff,” she explained. With a degree in Elementary Education and an Early Childhood Development minor, she was proud of the work she put into each plan.

100

However, through the years, she recognized this lesson-plan teaching style wasn’t teaching her group of 2- to 5-year-olds at all. For in order to teach, your student must learn; and learning happens best in the child’s hands when given the opportunity. “Then I understood,” she says, “play IS the important stuff !” And it is the primary focus of her new endeavor, Kaleidoscope Play School, which opened in September.

Today’s parents feel tremendous pressure for their children to know what’s measurable: their ABCs, colors and shapes, not to mention sitting still, in preparation for kindergarten.

But Denita points out, “Pre-K children aren’t wired to sit and listen. They learn through experiences. Everything is new

SIOUX FALLS WOMAN • october/november 2014

to them, and we adults need to appreciate that and provide the play atmosphere for them to interact with their surroundings, so they can learn.”

In this atmosphere, children take slight risks, have the opportunity to struggle, persevere, and succeed on their own, which gives them both pride and ownership of their successes. Small conflicts are welcome, even purposeful. Children learn valuable life lessons, such as taking turns, developing the building blocks needed in learning to work hard, together, and through various situations as they continue to grow, providing the foundation necessary for future academic achievement.

A passionate believer in fostering imaginations, Denita employs the help

of dragons and fairies throughout her program, knowing this triggers imaginative growth, which is essential for innovative problem-solving into adulthood.

In teaching children letters and words, Denita developed a unique learning method. She plants something the children have never seen before into the environment. There is no instruction for this new tool, no guidance for its use, and most importantly, no expectations. The children explore it freely, using words describing their thoughts and ideas.

Taking their lead, Denita writes out one of those words, hangs it on the wall, and hides letters that create that word for the children to discover as they play.

“This method promotes meaningful learning, as the children own the experience that is now attached to a word.” Denita explains, “Meaningful learning is retained and easily recalled when needed, as opposed to memorization through worksheets and flashcards.”

The passion and dedication Denita put into developing her childled play method has made her a renowned expert, as she commits to educating parents, other care providers, and educators through public speaking and hosting workshops nationwide. Denita has also co-authored two books on the topic, with a third scheduled for release later this year.

By Lisa Skelton

I

There are oneof-a-kind pieces and wonderful gift items for friends and family. A walk through the 3,000-square-foot (soon to be 6,000-square-foot) store conjures memories from the past and sparks the creative mind.

C u s t o m ers from South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska peruse the store’s antique, vintage, trendy furniture and home décor.

Some shoppers are searching for unique design elements for their homes and businesses; other customers seek photography props. Brides visit searching for the perfect vintage embellishments to rent for their wedding day. The store is a tasteful design playground for creative spirits.

Vintage Market owner Tesa Lynn Taylor loves to “junk” as she fondly refers to it. She has been “junking” thrift stores for 50 years. However, it doesn’t look like junk when she gets her hands on it. She has a flair for delivering new life to old and distinctive pieces. Tesa opened her first store in 2007 and opened the Market on 18 in Davis in July 2011, which now hosts occasional sales and outdoor flea markets three days a month from spring to fall. She wanted a higher end store and purchased a building on Third Street in the heart of Beresford to open the Vintage Market.

“I have always dreamt of having my own store.

I knew what I wanted to bring to our customers and that was to have a constant change in inventory and to make a fun creative experience for them,” Tesa says.

Shoppers can enjoy an ever-changing inventory and tasteful project pieces. The inventory ranges from high-end antiques, vintage furniture and décor, items for man caves, primitives, upcycled and recycled objects, plus handmade unique oneof-a-kind items. Her staff is knowledgeable, creative and helpful.

Ideas, creativity and superb design flourish in the Vintage Market. Staff members not only sell inventory but they share an interest with creative hearts by assisting with decorating ideas.

“It is always fun to hear what customers are doing with a certain treasure. With the start of our new chalk paint line, wax and hardware, it has been fun to have customers post and share pictures of items they have used our product on and how much they love the simple use of the paint,” she says.

Vintage Market hosts more than 50 vendors and consigners who revamp their booths weekly. Tesa says you can walk in the store week after week and see something different. They are constantly changing the store window and showroom in fun and inspiring ways. You can also check out the store via social media to see the unique pieces Tesa and her sfw fans post online.

“The dirt road led me out to my dreams, the dirt road will always lead me home.”

“Let your style tell your story.”
