Inspiring Aerobatics U.S. Navy Blue Angels Headline Power on the Prairie Air Show

By Margaret Pennock

T

he sheer mastery of elite pilots performing death-defying feats is something that has amazed and thrilled crowds since the first air show in 1909. Since then, aircraft have gotten faster and the pilots more daring. For the enjoyment of today’s aerial enthusiasts, the popular Sioux Falls Airshow returns July 23-24.

This year’s event marks two noteworthy anniversaries: the 70th anniversary of the South Dakota Air National Guard and the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the flight demonstration squadron that headlines the 2016 show.

A volunteer board of retired military personnel and other area professionals partners with the Air National Guard to coordinate the event, which typically is held every three years.

“We’re really excited about bringing in some of the fastest military jets in the world to Sioux Falls,” says Roxanna McKenna, secretary of the executive board of directors for the air show. “For two days, you can experience the sights and sounds of these amazing planes and their pilots. The world-famous United States Navy Blue Angels will be back again this year to showcase their eye-opening stunts in the air.”

About 100,000 to 150,000 people are expected to attend the two-day event. In addition to the show, the South Dakota Air National Guard plans an open house to share the airbase and its operations with the public.

Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum A Place to Enjoy Nature and History

By Thea Miller Ryan Photos courtesy of Mary Jo Wagner Arboretum

T

ake a break from the bike trail and try a leisurely walk at the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum.

Park director Lori Kiesow says, “The arboretum is fashioned so that it fits your timeline as a visitor, whether you have a half an hour to spend or all afternoon to explore our 145-acre property.” The arboretum’s self-guided trail signs educate visitors about trees, insects, wildlife and the importance of pollination to the natural world.

It’s not just about nature, though. The site is also home to one of the first large developments in the Sioux Falls area. “The history of East Sioux Falls is depicted on five large informational boards talking about what life was like back in the 1880s as the East Sioux Falls Quarry rose to its peak, fell into bankruptcy and, a few years later, was re-generated into a short-term boom again,” Lori says.

The Quarry Trail follows an old rail bed to the quarry where the stonecutters of East Sioux Falls

History In Nature

worked. The House Trail goes by an old foundation of a house that was abandoned many years ago. And the Perry Trail highlights the creek and a historic bur oak, more than 225 years old.

Visitors can get a trail map at the Mabel and Judy Jasper Educational Center and explore the L-shaped schoolhouse, which replicates one that stood on the site years ago. The historic classroom is furnished with items curated from many former county schoolhouses.

Repeat visitors this year will find a new pond on the property. “In the fall of 2015, we completed the Museum of Visual Materials Pond Garden by adding a second pond, a beautiful waterfall and a bridge between the two ponds,” Lori says. “Already it’s a favorite place for photos, weddings and for children to watch for tadpoles or small fish.” This summer the formal wedding garden will undergo improvements, and trees, gardens and other amenities will be added to the site as well.

Tours are available with prior notice and the arboretum will host more classes in 2016 for students and adults. The annual Springtime in the Country event is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 7. Area 4-H students bring their animals and talk to visitors about what it takes to care for them during the popular program, Lori says. Crafts and rope-making also are offered.

Hope Lifts Butterfly Release Strengthens Those in Grief

By Darcie Bontje

T

he impressive metamorphosis of caterpillar into butterfly captures our attention each summer across the Midwest, prompting many to acknowledge with awe the insect’s fragile life journey.

That captivating and inspiring imagery as it relates to our own lives is the centerpiece of AseraCare Hospice’s annual A Butterfly to Remember event, planned for June 14.

“Just as we are committed to helping our patients through their journey with dignity, respect and comfort, we also are committed to helping our families through the grieving process,” says Sarah Sachen, executive director of AseraCare, which is part of Golden Living. “That is our philosophy and everyone on my team is very passionate about it.”

A Butterfly To Remember

Large color selections and unlimited designs for any home.

The 5:30 p.m. program at Sertoma Park will include speakers, music, food and the butterfly release. “This is our big event to give back to the community,” says Sarah, who expects more than 300 people to attend this year. “It doesn’t matter if someone used AseraCare or not.”

Attendees can register in advance to ensure they receive a butterfly. During the program, the name of their loved one will be read and they can release their monarch. The cost to reserve a butterfly is $8.

The event is nondenominational, but, as Sarah says, there’s always a “spiritual component.” Everything is tied to the butterfly’s delicate life span. “There is a beautiful, serene letting go. That release of the butterfly is rewarding to individuals,” Sarah says. “Families are letting go so they can move on in life. It helps them to still remember but not dwell on the death.”

Mary Wingen, aftercare coordinator at Miller Funeral Home and a member of the planning committee for AseraCare’s event, says feelings of loneliness and isolation affect many people after the death of a family member or friend. “This event brings a lot of people together who don’t know each other, but that’s when they realize that they aren’t alone in their grief,” she says.

People going through loss also find comfort in hearing the name of their loved one announced, Mary adds. “A Butterfly to Remember is a chance for the death of that person to be acknowledged.”

The event, which is on Flag Day, also honors veterans with a flyover and a Color Guard will be present, Sarah says.

Online Dating Finding the Right One

By S.J. Menning Photo courtesy of Holly & Jason Doud

“W

e met online,” says Holly Doud, using a phrase that is becoming more and more common.

“I finally decided to give online dating a shot, and we met after three months of having my profile out there,” says Holly, who is among the nearly 40 million adult Americans who have used an online dating site or mobile dating app, according to Pew Research Center.

And while she admits that it is a lot of work weeding through profiles – not to mention taking the time to create your own so that it accurately portrays your interests, values and intentions – she wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

24

Couples Connection

It is, after all, where she found her “Happily Ever After.”

“I was his very first date with someone he’d met online,” Holly says. “He took me to lunch with the plan that he’d have an easy out just in case it didn’t go so well in real life.” But “real life” couldn’t have gone any better. Holly and her husband, Jason, will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary this fall.

Holly and Jason aren’t alone. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that 35 percent of U.S. couples married between 2005 and 2012 met online. The study also revealed a possible shift in marital outcomes: marriages that began online were slightly less likely to result in separation or divorce and were associated

with slightly higher marital satisfaction among respondents who remained married.

Dating in general has changed exponentially over the course of the century. Gone are the days from the late 1800s of single-suitor parlor tea “dates” under watchful eyes. We’ve moved beyond the popularity games of post-World War II, survived the “free love” movement of the 1960s, and still managed to play the field and find true love through big hair and bright clothes of the 1980s. And then came 1995, bringing with it match.com, the first online dating website.

In its short life span, online dating has changed significantly, with niche sites proliferating. Whether you’re looking for a Christianspecific, age-focused, or farminginterested single, there is a dating site to find them. Other sites boast of having the largest quantity of singles or the most successful algorithms to result in marriage.

And, just like Holly and Jason, the number of singles turning to online dating continues to climb.

Since 2013, the number of 18 to 24 year-olds who use online dating has nearly tripled and the number of 55 to 64 year-olds who use it has doubled, Pew Research reports. In addition, Pew found that nearly 60 percent of Americans believe online dating is a good way to meet people.

Holly couldn’t agree more. “The funny thing is, once we started to get to know each other, we discovered that we both went to the same, pretty small, South Dakota high school – only one year apart from each other,” she shares. “We have so many shared interests. We had just never had the opportunity to meet.”

Why Baking is Out and Faking is In! Treat your beautiful skin to sunless tanners

By Chantelle Duncan, Sioux Falls Woman Beauty Ambassador • Photos by: Margaret Pennock

M

y days of sitting at the pool during a Midwest heat wave are over! Yes, I was a bronze goddess, but my skin after 10 years of basking in the sun has me running to a bottle of children’s sunblock with SPF 50. After countless tanning bed sessions and beach chair marathons, I have small dark spots on my upper lip and small white spots on my shoulders because of overexposure to UV radiation.

Talk about bummed. I knew I couldn’t overindulge in the sun any longer, so I did what any woman my age would do—went to my sister’s house to complain!

That’s when she brought out a beautiful golden bottle of self-tanner lotion and said I should “fake it until I make it.”

Beauty Trends

The website for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration explains sunless tanners as cosmetic products “marketed for consumers to achieve a tanned appearance without having to go out in the sun or use artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation. One commonly used ingredient in these products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a color additive that darkens the skin by reacting with amino acids in the skin’s surface.”

Custom Spray Tanning

April is skin cancer awareness month! Be safe & spray tan!

Feel beautiful

I’m hooked. But if you’re new to #teamselftan, here are a few tricks to achieve the best results that won’t make you glow orange.

•

Picking the right formula for your skin is important. There are gels, mousses, waters, sprays and lotions. If you are a newbie, I would choose one that is a gradual color change and not messy. And don’t for get to wear gloves or a mitt during application!

•

Start slowly. I was so excited about being able to maintain my tan that I bought the darkest and most expensive self-tanner. By the end of the day, I was way too dark. Pick a formula that delivers a gradual color change.

•

Exfoliate your skin. This removes dead skin so that you’re working with a smooth surface.

If you skip exfoliating,the results will be patchy and uneven. Avoid sugar or salt exfoliates because they can leave resi due that makes it difficult for the color to adhere on skin.

•

Keep it simple while applying.

If you’re working with a gradual tan formula, one rule of thumb is one pump per arm and two pumps per leg.

Because it’s a gradual tan, you can’t overload on the color; you just want an even coverage.

•

Don’t forget your SPF. It is encouraged that you apply an SPF moisturizer before or after your self-tanning regi men. Just because you’re bronze, doesn’t mean you can’t burn!

beachy Glamour Go Summer Casual

By Brianna Venekamp

Available at

Lauriebelle’s Boutique

L

ooking forward to ditching those coats and jackets and going summer causal? Here are a few stylish trends to try out this summer:

Sheer Slip Dresses

Sheer fabrics are a key trend for summer 2016. Watch for lots of styles that show off shoulders. Slip dresses are lingerie-inspired pieces with details such as decorative lace, ruffles and netting. Opt for loose-fitting dresses in sunset tones that will show off your tan and lightweight fabrics to keep you cool.

Beachy Glamour

Summer Stripes

Whether vertical or horizontal, wide or superfine, stripes of all kinds are great for summer. Simply style your striped piece with a midi dress or cut-off shorts for casual wear.

Wrap Skirts

Dare to show off a little leg with a subtle or daring slit, while side-tie details add texture and movement. Plunge-neck tops or lacy, sleeveless blouses make the skirt perfect for evening. While button-downs, knits and sophisticated shirts keep the look more nine-to-five.

Ode to Food and Drinks Gourmet in Blue Jeans

By Thea Miller Ryan Photos by Margaret Pennock

N

ew Jersey restaurateur Frank Gajardo spent a lot of time with South Dakota native Michael Flannery when Michael lived in Jersey. They shared a love of food and the restaurant business and spent some time dreaming up a restaurant they hoped to open someday.

Eventually Michael moved back to South Dakota and called his best friend Frank with an offer he couldn’t refuse. Michael had secured the restaurant space in the Cherapa building and he knew the time was right to bring in Frank and Chef Bob Allen to make their dream a reality.

Ode to Food and Drinks in the busy East Bank district of downtown Sioux Falls is exactly the kind of place they talked about opening. Frank says, “We call it gourmet in blue jeans. Chef Bob uses all fresh ingredients, put together in creative dishes.”

Frank brings knowledge of the East Coast cocktail culture, Chef Bob adds the West Coast cuisine influence and Michael solidly rep-

resents the Great Plains on the menu. Items include bruschetta appetizers, steaks, Chilean sea bass and a Szechwan duck breast over a Saigon noodle salad.

It took some courage, but the trio even put a twist on the native South Dakota dish chislic. “We use top sirloin, cut thick,” Frank shares.

“Then we coat it with cornstarch and fry it. It’s served with a chili peanut sauce.” The result is appealing to even the most traditional chislic fans.

Saturday brunch is tremendously popular with locals. A make-your-own Bloody Mary bar includes all the fixings that tomato and vodka lovers expect such as celery and olives, but also includes shrimp, cheese, pickles, asparagus and other fancy treats to make each drink unique.

Families are welcome and reservations are accepted. Visit Ode on the East Bank of Sioux Falls at 300 N. Cherapa Place for a salute to food and drinks like no other.

For more information, go to odetofoodanddrinks.com or call 605-275-6332.

Where to Summer?

Getaway Opportunities Abound for Families

By Darcie Bontje

I

t might seem early to be thinking about summer getaways, but when reservations are involved, there’s no time like the present.

Within driving distance, there are several areas that offer outdoor activities, attractions and other amenities to complement any family vacation.

Chamberlain-Oacoma South Dakota Online: chamberlainsd.com The Missouri River landscape near Chamberlain and Oacoma offers a mix of recreational opportunities and expansive beauty as seen from Roam Free Park, located along the bluffs overlooking the river.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy fishing, bird watching, camping, boating, bicycling and hiking, according to the Chamberlain-Oacoma Chamber of Commerce website.

While other nearby attractions include the South Dakota Hall of Fame, Akta Lakota Museum and Cultural

Sylvan Lake, Custer State Park

Center, Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, flea markets, and antique stores.

Custer State Park South Dakota Online: gfp.sd.gov or custerresorts.com Custer State Park in the Black Hills includes 71,000 acres of wilderness. It was created in 1919 when the Legislature voted to transform a forest and game preserve into Custer State Park, making it South Dakota’s first and largest state park.

Gina Konechne, director of sales and marketing for Custer State Park Resort, says accessibility makes Custer a great choice for families. “We make a fantastic family and extended family destination because families are diverse. Some want to camp, some will ‘glamp,’ and some prefer modernized cabins or a hotel. … And let’s not forget our main attraction: the wildlife. I don’t know that anyone ever outgrows the delight of a herd of buffalo on their front lawn!”

The park includes lodges at Sylvan Lake, Legion Lake, Blue Bell and the State Game Lodge. Gina adds, “Every lodge in the park will see additions and updates this summer and next. Legion Lake Lodge has been entirely rebuilt and will feature lakefront dining, the Game Lodge Hotel units have been expanded and renovated, and new cabins are being built throughout the park. … These resort additions, combined with the new Visitors Center, should make for some fantastic, refreshed experiences this summer.”

Eugene T. Mahoney State Park Nebraska Online: nebraskastateparks.reserveamerica.com Situated on 700 acres along the Platte River just west of Omaha, Mahoney State Park offers camping, secluded cabins and lodge rooms.

The website outdoornebraska.gov details the park’s features: Families can visit the aquatic center and indoor playground, explore the park’s hiking and biking trails, and climb the observation tower.

The jewel of the park is Peter Kiewit Lodge, which offers 40 guest rooms, as well as dining at The Lodge Restaurant.

The aquatic center, which includes two water slides, a wave pool, lap pool and concession stand, operates Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.

Other nearby attractions include Platte River State Park, the Strategic Air and Space Museum, Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park, Quarry Oaks Golf Club and Iron Horse Golf Club.

Iowa Great Lakes West Okoboji Lake – East Okoboji Lake – Spirit Lake Online: vacationokoboji.com or okoboji.com/lodging Since the mid-1800s, vacationers have been coming to this region of glacial lakes in northwest Iowa dominated by West Okoboji Lake, East Okoboji Lake and Spirit Lake.

Rebecca Peters, tourism director for the Okoboji Tourism Committee, shares, “No matter what a family’s interests are, there’s something for everyone here.”

And the list is extensive: a trail system for biking, walking or jogging; Arnolds Park Amusement Park; Pearson Lakes Art Center; Boji Bay Fun House and Pavilion; live music; lake activities; sporting events such as soccer, tennis, softball and golf tournaments, a marathon and a triathlon; boat show; flea markets; and a corvette show.

“Pretty much every weekend we have something going on,” Rebecca says.

Safety Zone New Automotive Technology Aids Drivers

By Jill Funke

A

utomotive safety technology is a busy field, providing new and improved vehicle safety features every year. And because it takes only a second for an accident to happen, safetyconscious drivers can appreciate any technology that helps make every trip routine and inconsequential.

New Ford passenger vehicles contain the MyKey system, which provides the following safety feature settings: • Belt-minder: When engaged, this feature utilizes a six-second reminder bell or chime that rings every 30 seconds, and mutes the vehicle’s audio system until the passengers in the frontseat have fastened their safety belts.

To remind occupants, the words

“Buckle Up to Unmute Radio” are displayed on the message center.

are approaching from the rear when they are operating the vehicle in reverse.

• Top-speed Setting: Vehicle owners can establish limits to the vehicle’s top speed. The four settings are 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph, with reminder chimes sounding at 45, 55 and 65 mph.

Several safety features offered by other manufacturers include:

• Low-Fuel Warning: A warning is displayed with 75 miles remaining on a tank, instead of the standard 50 miles until empty. This is especially valuable to families enjoying a long road trip and not necessarily concentrating on fuel levels.

• Blind-spot Information System: This feature alerts the driver when other vehicles might have entered their blind spot. There is also a cross-traffic alert that warns a driver of vehicles that

New Car Safety Innovations

• Lane-keeping Assist: This Mercedes-Benz feature helps a distracted or drowsy driver from allowing the vehicle to wander into another lane.

• Surround-view Cameras: New BMW models utilize cameras on all four sides of the vehicle, providing the driver with a 360-degree view of everything that is outside the automobile.

• Frontal-collision Warning System: An alert notifies the driver of a possible collision, and the vehicle will even perform braking functions for the driver in instances where there is too little time for human reaction.

Creativity

A Masterpiece of Fine Living and Casual Touches

By Jennifer Dumke • Cipher Imaging Architectural Photography

HOME & GARDEN

A

grand statement of elegance mixes with the relaxing comforts of home in this sprawling stucco and brick masterpiece, which is as exquisite as the fine art gracing its walls.

In the foyer, rich faux-finished walls in chocolate brown with hints of plum and metallic gold provide the perfect backdrop for a custom niche to display the first of many art pieces. In addition, a painted Bombay chest is nestled on an Oriental rug that softens the smooth tile floors, while tall ceilings get a touch of custom class with a contrasting tone and crown molding.

Leading into the large formal dining room, the space remains open and bright with a single column divider and oversized windows. A unique coved ceiling and walls are painted in hues of warm vanilla and smooth caramel to provide a neutral palette for the classic dark wood furniture. Wide plank wood floors with a handscraped finish contrast against the formal furniture and Oriental rug.

Meanwhile, additional pieces of art framed in gilded gold frames finish off the formal feel.

The true masterpiece, however, is the spacious family room. A coffered ceiling adds interest above while arch-top windows fill the space with natural sunlight and allow for breathtaking backyard views. In addition to nature’s own outdoor painting, a custom niche above the fireplace displays a large piece of art that anchors the area. Surrounded by custom cabinets finished in a neutral oyster tone, the fireplace encased in a black granite surround blends with the rich tones of the furniture. A grand coffee table is the perfect conversation piece to complement the oversized furniture. With its distressed metallic silver base and black granite top, the piece adds a hint of eclecticism and unpredictable feel to the room. Soft, neutral carpets and understated wall colors serve as a canvas to the grand space.

The open staircase introduces an industrial flair that is furthered by the casual dining area’s coordinating table and chairs. For easy access to the upper outdoor deck, two glass patio doors allow natural sunlight to flow inside and provide convenience when entertaining. But when it comes to true casual dining, the kitchen’s large central island is a natural gathering space. Reflecting a subtle Tuscan flair, the kitchen includes crisp white custom cabinets and a creamy neutral cobbled tile backsplash. Accents of orchids are seen throughout and lend their airy colors to the large space. To blend with the neutral feel of the countertops and cabinets, white shutters are a simple addition to control sunlight. Above the stove, a custom arched top tile inlay sets the stage for a colorful art piece that partners with the dark granite countertop on the curved central island.

Taking a step back from traditional, the four-season sunroom is like an oasis of tropical fantasies. A rustic cedar ceiling anchors a large, tropical-style fan. Bamboo furniture is softened by bold upholstery.

Encased in windows, black bamboo shades easily adjust to achieve just the right amount of light.

Meanwhile, bronze wallpaper with medallion accents graces the walls and sets off a richness also seen in the terra cotta and black granite countertop. To add a spacious feel to the small space, a frameless mirror finishes off the room.

Like taking a step back in time, the home office feels more like an after-dinner gathering space with its large fireplace flanked by high-back tufted leather chairs.

Double French doors and a wall of custom-built rich wood cabinets and shelves add drama to the space and partner with the masculine touches of collectibles. The walls remain a classic buttery yellow and are finished off with a chair rail and subtle faux-finished lower section.

A key selling point for this home was the mainlevel master bedroom and bath. Simple yet luxurious, the two areas effortlessly flow into each other thanks to the perfectly blended tones of creamy neutrals.

The master bedroom is light and airy with ample windows and plantation shutters.

Eye-catching dark wood furniture features Old World style carvings, and satiny ivory bedding complemented by cinnamon accent pillows and throws adds interest. A step-up ceiling stands out with a coordinating buttery faux finish. Meanwhile, the crisp white woodwork encases the area and flows into the master bath.

French doors provide a grand entrance to this spa-like retreat. Ivory tile extends throughout and is given flair with a myriad of sizes dotted by darker tone inlays.

Whimsical yet understated safari wallpaper is broken up by uniquely placed stacked corner windows. A large built-in whirlpool tub invites relaxation while a frameless glass walk-in shower serves daily needs. A spacious double vanity reflects a simple yet elegant touch with shiny chrome faucets and wall-size mirror. Another favorite feature is the walk-in closet with a central, custom-built dresser. To fully accommodate all needs, separate cubbies line the walls to make for easy organization and access.

second main level powder bath touts many architectural details. Upon entering, the eye is drawn to the large, arch-top accent on the ceiling. A Tuscanstyle plaster affect adds interest to the walls and proudly anchors custom artwork. Dark wood crown molding offsets a copper metallic painted ceiling. A deeply recessed built-in niche glows with puck lighting to showcase a colorful orchid adding a touch of richness to the dimly lit room.

For added convenience, this room also includes custom built-in cabinets and direct access to the upper, triple garage.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer a comfortable yet classic touch and are an added benefit for overnight guests with children.

With a brush of beauty and a stroke of fine elegance, this home speaks for itself when it comes to lush living while providing the perfect canvas for custom creativity. Thanks to casual touches and perfectly balanced décor, this home’s gallery of fine art is kept livable and cherished by those with a passion for exquisite detailing.

Can You Dig It? Landscaping Pros Offer Tips for Do-it-yourself Success

By Jennifer Dumke

hether looking to add value to your home, boost curb appeal or spruce up your outdoor plantings, having an appealing landscape is more important than ever. And you don’t necessarily need a green thumb to have a professional-looking landscape. Thanks to new tools, online guides and even skilled coaches who offer consultations, do-it-yourself landscapers are learning to bury their fears to tackle projects.

But before your dig, it’s important to do a bit of homework if you want your outdoor dreams to be a reality. Erik Helland, president and co-owner of Landscape Garden Centers, specializes in residential and commercial landscape sales. He offers a few basic tips to help homeowners achieve their garden goals. “A good plan is key to almost any project, large or small,” he says.

There are also different degrees of landscaping that can affect this initial stage. “The quality of the landscape is determined by how long it lasts in its original form.

Plants will grow and trees will get taller, but overall, the landscape should look mature as the years continue rather than fall apart,” Erik says. “When a landscape is falling apart, that is where quality of workmanship and materials tend to expose themselves.”

Start by taking proper measurements of the area to help determine plant selection. Erik suggests using a plat plan along with photographs of the site even if you’re working with a professional DIY coach, such as those offered at Landscape Garden Centers. “One suggestion is to use our Plant Search Database available on our website to help determine which plants are best for this area of the country,” Erik adds.

After making selections, proper placement should be decided according to each plant’s habits and needs. However, sometimes even the best plants can fail. Erik says plants need at least 12 inches of quality topsoil to thrive, so save time and money by checking how much topsoil is available.

In addition to plants, new trends for landscapes include incorporating lighting, fire pits, water features, outdoor kitchens, “living spaces,” and hardscapes such as paver patios into the design. When using these types of materials and products, Erik advises considering traffic flow, distance from the house and even overhead trees as factors for placement.

Proper lighting is also popular not only for safety but to add instant beauty at a reasonable cost and minimal labor. For new construction homes or areas that have not been planted, be sure to include lighting costs into the plan.

For existing homes where added light is needed for security and navigation or for homeowners who want to enhance curb appeal, doit-yourself landscape lighting can still fulfill a variety of wants and needs.

Jim Le Duc, owner of Lamps & Shades Lighting Gallery, says some of the pitfalls of landscape lighting are failing to follow a plan, improper placement and lighting overkill.

Avoid these common mistakes by selecting lights that can be pointed in a variety of directions to create various effects. Whether uplighting, downlighting or cross-lighting, each has a unique result. “Also, be sure to avoid overlighting, a little goes a long way,” Jim says. Using floodlights or exposing the light source can put a damper on your design. Hide the bulbs and keep a reasonable light level to get the best out of your landscape lighting design. “As with any type of lighting, it’s much better to see the results of the lighting rather than the source,” he adds. “This is especially true with landscape lighting.”

The latest lighting product for the do-it-yourself landscaper is illuminator laser lights. Jim says these new lights work using a fracture beam to display a colored pattern on objects. “Most clients use these types of lights to illuminate trees or even the side of a house,” he adds.

“These lights are great because they are easy to install, control and offer a dramatic effect.”

So start planning, it’s never too early to start. Magazines, websites and even local home and garden shows are great places for the doit-yourself landscaper to get ideas.

Just remember to avoid the temptation to pick up the shovel before the pencil. Starting out with a solid plan is the most effective way to get your landscape in shape without wasting time and money.

Bright Ideas OLEDs Emerging as Next Generation in Lighting

By Brianna Venekamp

L

ighting technology is not an industry stuck in the dark. Innovation—the push for smaller, faster, cheaper, more efficient products and processes—is constantly driving change in everyday consumer goods.

OLED is one emerging technology making large gains among cellphones, TVs, computers and laptops, says Jim LeDuc, owner of Lamps & Shades Lighting Gallery. However, the science is still in the research and development phase for use in general lighting, he says.

The website oled-info.com explains that OLED, or organic lightemitting diode, is a flat light emitting technology made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted.

Because OLEDs emit light using organic molecules such as carbon and hydrogen, they do not require a backlight, so products using the technology can be thinner and more efficient, according to oled-info.com.

OLEDs offer several advantages over older technology. They provide great picture quality, brilliant colors, a fast response rate and wide viewing angle, as well as are superlight, paper-thin, flexible and transparent.

“A lot of companies are involved in the research and development of the technology right now,” Jim explains. “One of the potentials for it that I really like is that it can be applied to a surface, which would allow you to make a light out of a couch, for example. Or it can also be transparent, so it could be applied to a skylight. Then when the sun goes down, you would get light from the OLED.” Many companies offer samples and low-volume OLED panels, but prices remain high and performance is limited.

“The progression of OLED technology is very similar to that of the computer,” Jim says. “When computers first emerged on the market, they were large and very expensive, but over time, as the technology became more accessible and user-friendly, the price decreased as well.”

The evolution of OLED technology is one to keep watching, especially as companies continue to bring new products to light.

Hot Option for Homeowners Induction Cooktops Offer Safe, Efficient Alternative

By Jill Funke

Induction cooking provides instant and precise heat adjustment, with no wasted energy, says Rosie Kindt from Mahlander’s Appliance and Lighting. “Induction cooking is a much safer way to cook as there are no hot surfaces or flame,” she adds.

Induction Cooking

Solis Photogra[phy

or its effectiveness, speed and efficient use of energy, induction cooking is taking kitchens by storm. While cooking on most cooktops involves generating heat that is transferred from a burner to a cooking vessel such as a pot or pan, induction cooking does not generate heat to be transferred to a cooking vessel. Instead, it uses a magnetic heat to make the vessel the original generator of the cooking heat.

A demonstration video for induction cooking shows a pan that has been cut in half, with an entire chocolate bar on top. The portion of the chocolate bar that resides within the pan is melted, but the other portion of the bar that is resting on the cooking surface is still in solid form. The chocolate bar outside the pan remains intact because nothing outside of the pan is affected by the electromagnetic field where the induction is transpiring. “Nothing burns on the induction cooktop because it doesn’t heat up, so cleanup is much easier and quicker,” Rosie says.

The scientific process of induction cooking involves the cooking element, which can be loosely compared to the burner on a gas or electric stove. The cooking element is a powerful, high-frequency magnet, and sophisticated electronics within the element generate the electromagnetism. Large items of magnetic material, such as a cast-iron skillet, are placed on the element and the result is the induction or transfer of energy into the metal skillet. The energy causes the metal to become hot and therefore cook the food within. There are many induction cooking pots and pans available, and they all have a special induction symbol engraved on the bottom.

The electromagnetic transfer of energy from the element to the cooking vessel is efficient and expedient.

Rosie explains, “Induction cooking offers both the responsiveness of gas and the convenience of an electric cooktop in a single unit.” In addition, there are no burning gas byproducts released in the cooking process, and heat is not lost around the bottom or sides of the pan.

Many customers are delighted with their induction cooktops, including Rosie. “I love my induction cooktop!

I bought it in November, so I had it for all my Thanksgiving and Christmas cooking, plus my regular meals. The super-fast cleanup with a dishcloth is wonderful.”

Runners’ Bliss Pedorthist Shares Tips for Proper Shoe Fit

kind of shoes work best for your feet, he says. Doing a video running analysis of the feet is the best way to find what kind of cushion and support your feet need and how the body acts when running in different types of shoes, Reid adds.

Pedorthist and athletic trainer Reid Herrboldt has worked at the Orthopedic Institute for six years. For everyday shoes, he says it is ideal to choose shoes that offer enough space for the width of the foot. Choosing shoes with squared and rounded toes are better than shoes that come to a point.

“My goal is always to get a patient into as neutral cushioned a shoe as possible that also allows them to have the best running mechanics possible, in turn giving them a pain-free running experience,” he says.

“There should be about one thumb width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe,” Reid says.

For running shoes, it gets complicated. The arch of the foot determines what

As far as price, Reid suggests that spending more money might be best.

“This does not mean you have to spend $200 on your shoes. But if you’re spending less than $50, your feet will probably regret it,” he says. “The average shoe I recommend, casual or running, is probably between $80 and $150.”

Spending more money will ensure that you are getting shoes with better quality materials and construction. He recommends running shoes by wellknown companies such as Brooks, Asics, Saucony,

New Balance and Mizuno. A less well-known company that also offers good running shoes is Altra.

“The big thing to remember is go with a good quality shoe that fits your foot and is designed for your foot mechanics,” Reid says. “If you do this, the brand of the shoes becomes less important.”

Proper footwear can prevent injuries such as bunions, hip and knee pain, plantar fasciitis (pain from heel to toes), and metatarsalgia (pain in the fore foot). Plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia are the most common injuries because warmer weather means wearing shoes such as flip-flops, he says.

Signs of lower body injuries include muscle tightness, pain in the feet, and the feeling of bruising on the bottom of the feet. “If you are feeling these types of pain happening, I would tell you to first start doing some light stretching,” he says.

He adds that while people can try treating their injuries at home, it’s okay to be seen by a doctor right away instead of waiting for the injury to get worse. “Even the most minor injuries can be healed much faster if treated properly and we can often times help prevent the same injuries from happening again.”

Breathing Free Again Varying Treatment Plans can Ease Sinus Pain

By Jennifer Dumke

I

f chronic sinus pain and pressure is keeping you from “springing ahead” as the temperatures rise, it might be time to look into a treatment plan that can restore your quality of life.

Daniel Todd, MD, FACS, specializes in sinus issues at Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat and empathizes with patients who are suffering from chronic sinusitis. “Symptoms like headaches, facial pain and pressure, postnasal drip and congestion can really drag people down,” Dr. Todd says. However, because sinusitis is so complex, he approaches stubborn symptoms from a treatment standpoint. “The cause of sinus problems are multifaceted. And to further complicate matters, many headaches really have little to do with the sinuses.”

The first step is to properly identify and diagnose the sinus issue so that the best course of treatment can be administered.

Skin testing is the most accurate

Treatment Plans for Sinus Pain

means of testing and is generally well tolerated among patients. This is beneficial because of the complexity of sinusitis.

Triggers are often a combination of anatomy issues, allergies, polyps and chronic inflammation. And because spring is slow to come in this region, people have to deal with outdoor aggregates such as tree and grass pollens in addition to indoor allergens such as molds, dust mites and pet dander.

“This combination can really weigh people down, especially considering not all sensitivities are allergic,” he adds. Thankfully, there are treatments to make patients feel better.

The first option is to seek out proper medications.

Topical treatments have fewer side affects than those taken orally, which in the long run is better for the patient. A routine treatment that Dr. Todd suggests is to irrigate the nasal passages with a simple saline solution. Sometimes even topical decongestants can

be helpful in addition to oral steroids. If needed, long courses of antibiotics can prove very effective for many patients. “Anything we can do medically to take away the pain for a patient is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, most patients I see have largely exhausted these options,” he says.

The next option is to desensitize or avoid what causes the sinus issues. If the patient has gone through proper testing and taken the steps to identify the problem, this can be an effective course of treatment. Obviously, avoiding a known trigger seems like the easiest way keep allergies at bay.

However, for a more permanent treatment or if avoidance isn’t an option, desensitization is a proven method that is becoming more popular. Also referred to as allergen immunotherapy, it works like a vaccination in that it uses your body’s exposure to small, injected amounts of a particular allergen to build up immunity. By gradually increasing the injected allergy, your body becomes desensitized and patients can eventually resume normal exposure without side affects or surgery.

In more severe cases, surgery may be the last resort. Dr. Todd often performs procedures such as balloon dilations, polypectomy and turbinate reductions, a method that shrinks small bones that can become inflamed and obstruct the nasal passage. Although these procedures sound complicated, Dr. Todd says some can be performed in a clinic and often are the most effective treatments. “When a patient undergoes surgery, they are ensured to have improved breathing and even appearance,” he adds.

But despite the number of options, when looking for the best way to feel better fast, Dr. Todd says less really is more.

“Conservatism is key and the least we need to do to make a patient feel better is always the correct treatment.”

Button Batteries The Hidden Danger In Your Home

E

lectronic devices that use coin-sized lithium button batteries are all around us.

From brother’s mini remote control, sister’s calculator and dad’s watch to mom’s key fob, grandpa’s hearing aid and even singing birthday cards, these small devices are part of our everyday life.

These batteries may provide energy for things we use, but they also pose a danger to children and pets. When swallowed, these batteries can cause severe internal burns that can become life threatening.

The number of serious injuries or deaths as a result of button batteries has increased more than ninefold in the past decade.

Know your facts and know how to keep your children safe when it comes to button batteries in your home.

Get the facts • When a child swallows a button battery, saliva triggers an electrical current.

A chemical reaction starts that can severely burn the esophagus in as little

as two hours.

• Your child can still breathe and will act normal after ingesting a battery. It might not be obvious at first that there is something wrong.

74

H E A L T H A lert

Lethal Lithium

• Repairing the damage from battery ingestion is painful and often involves multiple surgeries. Even after a battery is removed, your child can experience harmful side effects to his vocal chords and windpipe.

Keep your home safe • Search your home for devices that may contain coin-sized lithium button batteries.

• Keep lithium battery-controlled devices out of sight and out of reach of young children. This includes devices such as remote controls, singing greeting cards, digital scales, watches, hearing aids, thermometers, children’s toys, calculators, key fobs, flameless or tealight candles, flashing holiday jewelry or decorations.

• Keep loose replacement batteries locked away and out of reach of young children.

• When possible, secure the battery compartment with duct tape on electronic devices that have button batteries.

Get help ASAP • If you suspect your child has ingested a battery, go to the hospital immediately.

• Don’t induce vomiting or have your child eat or drink anything until assessed by a medical professional.

• The symptoms of ingesting a battery might be hard to recognize. Symptoms might include coughing, drooling and discomfort.

• Don’t take any chances when it comes to your child’s life. When in doubt, seek medical attention immediately.

• Keep the phone number for the National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline, 202-625-3333, by your phone or in your cellphone contact list.

T

he daughter of a teacher and a surgical technologist, it’s no surprise that Shelly Metzger felt the need to serve others. However, the path she chose is not only a nontraditional route for a woman, it’s arguably one of the toughest jobs out there. Shelly is a supervisory deputy at the U.S. Marshals Service in Sioux Falls.

Part of an elite federal law enforcement agency, federal marshals have served the country since 1789 as the enforcement arm of the federal courts, including judicial security, fugitive operations, asset forfeiture, prisoner operations, prisoner transportation and witness security. While about 3,840 deputy marshals and criminal investigators form the backbone of the agency, only a few are women. Shelly is proud to be one of the few.

Originally from the small farming town of Pima, Arizona, whose primary claim to fame is pima cotton, Shelly grew up the eldest of four sisters. She also has a foster sister, whom her family took in when she was 11, from the nearby Navajo Chinle Reservation. Shelly notes, “It was a really neat program that allowed us to welcome her, and now her children and grandchildren, into our family.”

Following in her parents’ footsteps of serving others, Shelly worked at a veterinary clinic throughout high school.

Although she enjoyed the work, the lure of working as a law enforcement agent took her in a completely different direction. The self-professed black sheep of her family, Shelly has always followed her own path. She laughs, “My sisters are all stay-at-home moms back in Gilbert, Arizona, and are very happy doing that!”

While working on her degree in Criminal Justice at Western New Mexico University, she was offered and completed an internship with the U.S. Marshals. “The marshals’ job just fell in my lap. I got an internship in college and then they hired me after I graduated,” she says.

“I really wanted to be a street cop but I couldn’t turn this opportunity down, and now I’m really glad that I took the route I did. I was intrigued with solving crimes and forensic science classes were my favorite. That passion later expanded to include hunting down fugitives.”

Following graduation, Shelly attended the prestigious Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers in Glynco, Georgia.

Today, she has served the U.S. Marshals for 27 years. She shares, “After graduation, my first duty station was Las Cruces, New Mexico, where I specialized in asset seizures and forfeitures. In 1992, I transferred to Reno, Nevada, where I was a Fugitive Task Force commander. In 2003, I transferred to Helena, Montana, as a senior inspector, where I specialized in judicial security. Last November, I transferred to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as a supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal. I run daily operations and supervise the Sioux Falls Area Joint Fugitive Task Force.”

What does a day in the life of a deputy U.S. Marshal look like? “Every day is different. One minute, you’re sitting in a courtroom with a prisoner and the next, you’re breaking down a

door and arresting a fugitive. It’s not an easy job to maintain,” she says, smiling. “I have physical fitness and firearms requirements. I have to pass background reinvestigations to maintain my security clearance. I take dozens of hours of online training and attend numerous training courses on a variety of law enforcement subjects every year to stay current. I’ve had to move several times to gain the specialized experience necessary to be competitive for promotions. To earn the title of supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal has taken years of dedication, commitment, resiliency, persistence and strategic planning. My career path has not been easy, but it has been rewarding.”

In addition, Shelly has seen the field evolve dramatically over her years in law enforcement. “The changes have been incredible, from the uniforms to the equipment to the technology. When I first started, we used to have duplicate paper and teletypes. It’s all become way more efficient, but there is also a lot more red tape to deal with. Believe it or not, information used to be easier to obtain, but we still catch fugitives and get them off the street.”

While her career has kept her on her toes, Shelly has also been blessed to have two children who have kept her involved and grounded in every community that she has called home.

Her 23-year-old daughter, Casey, attends the University of Montana and her 13-year-old son, Cameron, keeps her busy off duty. Shelly is deeply involved with her son’s Boy Scout Troop, having served as a scout master and unit commissioner.

In addition, she has been a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician as well as a lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol. She has received five Commander’s Commendations and a Meritorious Service Award while holding positions as squadron commander and wing and region inspector general. With all of these organizations, she is working hard to build relationships within the Sioux Falls area.

Shelly says, “I was a volunteer firefighter and an EMT and I loved it. If it paid, I would have done that because I love helping people and the rush that comes with it. I like not knowing what’s coming next. I like the unpredictability with my career. I’ve had to hone my organizational skills over the years keeping up with the kids and life but I love everything about it.”

Beyond work and spending time with her children and her Yorkie named Hershey, Shelly also loves to travel. She’s looking forward to exploring her new Midwestern home. “I’m enjoying having restaurants and events to go to and summer here is going to be a blast. I’ve heard about so many things going on here and I’m looking forward to it all. I especially enjoy antiquing, I don’t buy much, but I like to look.” She laughs, “My son is looking forward to getting a basketball hoop.”

The path her career has led her on would not appeal to some people, but for Shelly, the challenges and change of pace have been a joy. “I enjoy moving around and I like starting over. I’ve never had a problem with it because I like exploring new places. Many people aren’t comfortable with it, but I always look forward to discovering what’s next.”

Her children have also adjusted well. “My daughter was in middle school when we left a big town to move to a small town. It’s been the reverse for my son, but he’s really enjoying the Sioux Falls area,” she says. “My goal is to get out and see the Midwest. I like to dress down, get comfortable and make road trips. I really like how it’s a big town but has a smalltown feel. South Dakota isn’t that much different than Montana so it’s been an easy transition and people are extremely nice here. I don’t think I’ve been anywhere else where people have been nicer. I can’t wait to really become ingrained as a member of the Sioux Falls community.”

“I do work long hours and life’s a bit crazy at times, but I’m not going to slow down because it’s not in my nature. Everybody tells me to sit down and relax, but I can’t and I am OK with that.” ~Shelly Metzger

Child Advocate Dr. Nancy Free Works to Stem Abuse and Neglect

By Stacey Kracht • Photos by Nancy Tesdall

The center serves children across eastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota, and parts of Iowa and Nebraska, and referrals come from law enforcement, Child Protective Services and medical professionals. Together with another physician and a physician’s assistant, Dr. Free helps evaluate about 1,500 children each year.

W 86

“Child maltreatment can have a lifelong impact on physical health, mental health and psychosocial functioning,” Dr. Free says. Every child deserves safe, stable, nurturing environments and relationships so they can grow up to live healthy lives, she says.

ith April designated Child Abuse Awareness Month, Dr. Nancy Free is quick to note that child abuse is an adult problem because adults are responsible for keeping children safe and protected.

“The children and families we serve are certainly the best part of my job. While the abuse and neglect of children is often beyond comprehension, the strength and resilience potential of children and parents amaze me on a daily basis,” she says. “Children can be fun, funny and wise, even in the toughest situations.”

“Not only should our response be appropriate, (but) we need to identify and promote effective prevention practices,” says the pediatrician, who is medical director of Child’s Voice, a child advocacy center that provides medical evaluations for children suspected of being victims of abuse or neglect.

Dr. Free explains that abuse and neglect can present themselves in a variety of ways. If a child makes a disclosure or has a concerning behavior, stop and listen, and let the child know you will help. Report concerns to law enforcement or Child Protective Services.

The Child’s Voice staff uses a multidisciplinary team approach to evaluate children suspected of being victims of abuse or neglect.

Child’s Voice also ensures that parents have a professional source of support because this is one of the most difficult things a parent can experience, she says. Advocates connect parents and children with therapists having expertise in childhood trauma.

“My work in this field was not predicted or planned, but I have found my niche,” Dr. Free says.

“Child maltreatment happens whether or not we’re here. By responding appropriately with comprehensive services using best practice models, children are often kept safe from further harm and healing can begin.”

Evaluations include a thorough review of medical, developmental, behavioral and psychosocial history, a forensic interview, and a physical exam. Dr. Free says this is important for identifying and addressing issues related to the presenting concern. However, because many children are at risk of polyvictimization, this process can also identify problems related to other types of abuse, and problems completely unrelated to abuse.

The pediatrician shares that many types of child abuse can be prevented by helping adults understand child development and abuse dynamics, and through protective policies and practices in schools and youth-serving organizations.

Art with an Educational Mission Augustana’s Eide/Dalrymple Gallery

By Thea Miller Ryan • Photos by Margaret Pennock

W

hen Augustana University opened its Center for Visual Arts, Sioux Falls gained a lot of ground in unique gallery opportunities for artists—especially young artists—at the Eide/ Dalrymple Gallery.

Dr. Lindsay Twa, associate professor of art and director of the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery on Augustana’s campus, explains, “We host seven to nine exhibitions every year, so there is always something new to see. These are changing exhibitions of professional contemporary artists from around the region and the nation.

Each year we seek to exhibit a balance of all the media that we teach here at Augustana, so you can expect to see painting, ceramics, printmaking, photography, graphic design and sculpture at some point during the year.”

Every summer the gallery shows a juried collection of works from the school’s rising junior and senior art majors, Lindsay says.

Also, biennially, the gallery has “an exhibition that features Augustana art faculty, an exhibition of primitive or ethnographic art that is guest curated by our Augustana anthropology professor Dr. Adrien Hannus, and an exhibition drawn from our Carl Grupp Permanent Art Collection.” The latter show draws from more than 3,500 art objects in the permanent collection, she says, and includes works from Picasso, Chagall, Winslow Homer, Whistler, Matisse and Rouault.

In addition, “We also host annually a high school art invitational every January, and an exhibition of our graduating senior art majors every May,” Lindsay says. These exhibits not only show some amazing new art but also are educational for visitors.

“As befitting our educational mission, we have an artist or curator’s talk at each exhibition opening,” Lindsay says. “At these talks, our audience can hear directly from the artist about the body of work being presented, the artist’s working methods, and what drives his or her creative process.”
