“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you.” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 29: 11-14

The American Cancer Society reports that cancer is the second-leading cause of death in children under age 15 and an estimated 10,380 children in the United

States were diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Instead of experiencing the joys of a worry-free child-hood, these children face surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hospital or clinic visits. Realizing that this devastating disease derails the lives of so many children and their families, Cure Kids Cancer helps fund world-class physicians and researchers in the search for life-saving treatments and cures for children’s cancer.

When an organization steps up to contribute to a need such as curing pediatric cancer, people are often moved to help. In 2009, a group of car, motorcycle and truck enthusi-asts in the Sioux Falls area decided to create an event to bring unique, premiere vehicles together in the same location for

other vehicle enthusiasts to gath-er and enjoy their shared passion.

Naming their event “Winterfest of Wheels,” organizers decided to donate any extra money that is raised to Cure Kids Cancer. Event volunteer Karen Leisinger says, “We enjoyed similar shows in other towns and felt we needed to do one in Sioux Falls.” At that time, Karen’s 10-month-old great-niece had been diagnosed with cancer, making the Cure Kids Cancer organization dear to her heart. The first event raised about $5,000, and in 2015, orga-nizers were delighted to contrib-ute more than $33,000 to Cure Kids Cancer at Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls.

Being involved with Winterfest of Wheels and Cure Kids Cancer has touched the lives of the event organizers. Karen says, “We want to do anything we can to help find a cure.” The children are the inspiration for the Winterfest of Wheels planning committee of 10 volunteers, Karen explains, “When you see how strong and resilient the kids are, you are impressed with the way they handle everything.”

This year, the 8th annual Winterfest of Wheels will be at the Sioux Falls Convention Center on Friday, February 5 through Sunday, February 7. The event will feature a model car competi-tion, kids coloring contest and a special guest appearance. The entrance fee is $10 for adults, with children age 12 and under admitted free with an adult. Event hours and other information for Winterfest of Wheels can be found at winterfestofwheels.com.

Rural America. The Heartland. Where a hard day’s work is every day’s work, and you wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s more than just a place to work and live, it’s a way of life. And it is exactly

the focus of the Women in Blue Jeans annual conference.

The event began in 2002 with a group of volunteers interested in providing networking opportunities to women living in rural areas. It has since grown to a two-day confer-ence that provides fun, education, inspiration and friend-ship. “A lot of our attendees make a fun ‘girls weekend’ out of this event,” says Women in Blue Jeans volunteer Brenda Bode. “And many return year after year.”

This year’s event, scheduled for Feb. 19 and 20 at the Highland Conference Center in Mitchell, focuses on per-sonal growth: financial, physical, spiritual and emotional.

Friday evening registration begins at 5 p.m. Light and entertaining sessions start at 6 p.m. and will feature bread-making with Breadico’s David Napolitano and using oil therapy. The evening includes a vendor fair composed of women entrepreneurs with home-based services, a light meal and lots of networking.

Saturday kicks off at 8 a.m. with informational sessions throughout the day. “We want this event to be a resource for women,” Brenda explains. “Attendees come eager to learn, and we want everyone to feel comfortable asking questions and take as much away from the event as possi-

ble—and, of course, to have a lot of fun in the meantime.” Morning and afternoon sessions are designed as informal learning opportunities and will touch on a range of topics from bicycling and craft beers to managing dementia and using online class-es.

Greg Peterson of the Peterson Farm Brothers will be featured as the keynote speaker/entertainer. “Greg is such a talented young man, and very pro agriculture,” Brenda says. “He’ll be speaking about the importance of telling your personal story and growing as an individual.”

In addition to working their family farm in Kansas, the Peterson Farm Brothers have become a YouTube sensation with their entertaining online vid-eos parodying popular music hits, including “I’m Farming and I Grow It,” “Chore,” and “Let it Grow.” Their videos seek to portray real-life farming in an entertaining way and have garnered millions of views.

Brenda says Karen Harrington, a retired English teacher with a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, will close the confer-ence as she shares her method “8 to Great: The Powerful Process for Positive Change.”

While farming is a dominant industry in rural America, Brenda explains that Women in Blue Jeans is about so much more. “It provides value and networking opportunities for all women throughout the Midwest.” The event draws attendees from South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Deep Root Gardens

Couple Grows Farm-Fresh

Food For Your Table

StoryandPhotosbyMargaretPennock

Six years ago, Danny Dyck and his wife, Aymee, took a risk. Stepping away from corporate America, they purchased an old farm-

house and seven acres of run-down pastureland 12 miles south of Sioux Falls in Worthing, SD. Their dream was to find a better way of life for their family while giving back to their community with fresh, healthy and delicious food.

Danny says, “We started Deep Root Gardens because we wanted to make sustainable, wholesome food accessible to our family, friends and community. We wanted to be a part of the next genera-tion of food, one that’s wholesome and doesn’t come pre-made in a box. Our parents and grandparents went to the grocery store for their food but our kids will go to a farmer.”

“Joining Deep Root Gardens’ CSA program gives you a personal relationship with your farmer and your food. You’ll be supporting a local producer and keeping your money in the community all while receiving beautiful, delicious, seasonal produce at

a great price.” ~Danny Dyck, co-owner Deep Root Gardens

SiouxFallsWoman.net | FEB/MAR 2016 25

Deep Root Gardens is a small farm, owned and operated solely by the Dyck family. Not certified as organic because of the small size of the farm and the high cost of certification, the Dycks do follow organic principles avoiding pesticides and herbicides. In addition, the majority of labor is done by hand.

While the Dycks sell produce in winter markets as well as farmers markets in the summer months, they primarily oper-ate as a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm. As a CSA, they sell shares to individuals who in return receive 5 to 10 pounds of vegetables every week. This share, which covers a 17-week period, typically feeds a family of four.

Danny notes, “We will be growing over 40 different variet-ies of vegetables including carrots, garlic, tomatoes, cucum-bers and spinach, just to name a few. We’re excited to add leeks, several more varieties of squash, cauliflower, napa cab-bage and Brussels sprouts to our shares this season.”

Shareholders pick up their vegetables on Wednesdays at The Co-op Natural Food parking lot in Sioux Falls during the summer growing season. Vegetables are laid out buffet-style and shareholders are given directions from which to choose their own produce.

Deep Root Gardens offers three payment options: regular shares where the total is paid in full, student/fixed income shares where shareholders pay weekly, and EBT/SNAP pro-gram shares. For more information about Deep Root Gardens, visit deeprootgardens.net or call 605-929-1061.

The Sioux Falls Humane Society is planning its annual premier fundraising event, Paws to Celebrate, to benefit the ani-

mals at the Sioux Falls Humane Society. Featuring food prepared by the region’s finest chefs, it will also showcase more than 100 fine wines and beers at CJ Callaway’s on March 12.

The Sioux Falls Humane Society raised more than $42,000 at last year’s event with 232 attendees and hopes to top that this year by raising at least $45,000. All profits directly support the care of the animals at the Sioux Falls Humane Society as well as the operation of the facilities.

Sharing Hopes & DreamsCreate a Bucket List to Reconnect with your Partner ByS.J.Menning

Here are a few tips to help you and your partner develop your list and reconnect through sharing new experiences together.

Keep an open mind. Share ideas of things you’ve always wanted to do on your own or as a couple. This isn’t the time to shut down ideas you may ini-tially feel less than excited about. View each idea as an opportunity to grow with your partner and learn something new. Lofty dreams that seem impossible now may become a reality in the future, or turn into a common goal to work toward.

Organizeyourlist. A variety of responsibilities add to life’s complexities, and some items on your list

New relationships are simple. Everything is new and exciting as you continuously learn with and about each other. But as relationships grow through time, excite-

ment and spontaneity often take a back seat to comfort and responsibility.

Relationship experts agree that creating a bucket list together helps to encourage open communica-tion, common goals, togetherness and shared suc-cesses. In fact, a 2000 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found a direct correlation between sharing exciting activities and relationship satisfaction.

might be more feasible in your current life situation than others. Find an organizational style that works for you and your partner. Simply categorizing your list in terms of the amount of time required, such as things that could be done in an afternoon versus things that might take more planning, will help turn your bucket list items into manageable goals.

Useyourlistasaresource. Don’t just make the list and tuck it away, never to be seen again. Keep it out as a constant visual reminder. Looking for something to do on date night? Break away from your old standby, refer to your bucket list, and start checking things off!

The items you and your partner decide for your bucket list are as personal and unique as your rela-tionship. However, some great options can be found right here in the Sioux Falls area—from high-adrenalin adventures to full-course gourmet meals. Just a few examples include:

Go skydiving: With just a 30-minute drive to Luverne, MN, take lessons to jump on your own or choose the shortened training session and go tandem with a professional.

Take a wine tour/tasting:Between the local wineries and various retailer-based or charita-ble tasting events, Sioux Falls hosts a variety of options to please your palate.

Attend a professional-levelsports game: Regardless of your sport of choice, as home to the Stampede, Skyforce, Storm, and Canaries, Sioux Falls is full of options for catching a minor-league game.

Run a marathon: There is no shortage of races and what bet-ter place to train than on the city’s bike trails, winding past some of the most beautiful views Sioux Falls has to offer!

Learnanewlanguage:Multiple languages are available through community education classes. Or locate a local teacher for private lessons through online resources such as www.takelessons.com.

employees each year. Because that is money you didn’t previously have, you can set that increase aside with-out even realizing it. Pay yourself first.

SetGoalsDianne says that 12 times your final annual earnings

is a good target goal to have saved at retirement. The amount you’ll want to put away will depend on your retirement plans, of course. If you’re planning to travel in early retirement, you may spend more than you ever have. After the initial retirement period, you might be able to get by with 75 percent of what you lived off

Retirement PlanningSaving money can be daunting, but thereare easy ways to get startedByStaceyKracht

Start saving as early as possible. This will allow your money to compound more over time, as demonstrated in the accompanying graphic. Dianne Harris of First Dakota National Bank

says, “Saving 15 perfect of your annual earnings is a good start.” That may sound like a lot, but be aware of free money available to you and understand your employer’s retirement plan.

Start by deferring 4 percent of your income. If your employer matches that, you’re at 8 percent. Many companies give a 3 percent cost-of-living raise to

while working. Ross Menke of Prosperity Wealth Management adds, “It is beneficial to keep track of your current budget” to more accurately predict what you’ll spend during retirement.

Don’t forget to protect yourself and your spouse with long-term care planning, and beware of investing too conser-vatively. If you start early, you can afford to be more aggres-sive with your investments. When getting close to retirement, you may want to inform beneficiaries of investment accounts and insurance policies, update wills and estate plans, and change investment allocations if needed.

EmpowerYourselfProsperity Wealth Management’s Agatha Johnson ensures

that understanding your financial plan will empower you. Knowing your options will keep you from being sold on what isn’t best for you. Know how your plan will be implemented. Learn what it will take to become—and stay—debt-free. Put money aside before making unnecessary purchases.

When it comes to financial planning, the options can be overwhelming. Educate yourself and have a financial adviser help you create a financial plan. Ease into saving, but be dis-ciplined. Understand how life changes will affect your plan and review your plan each year. Don’t waiver—your quality of retirement depends on it!

Ross Menke of Prosperity Wealth Management shows how much money should be saved each year at varying starting ages to reach $1 million by age 65. The goal amount of $1 million was chosen because it would provide $40,000 in annual income during retirement, using a 4 percent safe withdrawal rate. The graph assumes an 8 percent annual growth rate on invested dollars. This breaks down to $215 of savings per month if starting at age 20; $483 per month if starting at age 30; $1,140 per month if starting at age 40; $3,069 per month if starting at age 50; and $14,205 per month if starting at age 60.

Final WishesCreating a Will Makes Your Plans Possible ByNatalieKeller

The Elements of a Typical Will Include:• Identity of the testator, who must identify as the maker of the will and acknowledging that he or she is making a will• A statement that the testator revokes all previous wills• A statement that the testator is of sound mind and has the capacity to make the will• The testator’s signature at the end of the document• The date the will is being signed• The signatures of two or more disinterested witnesses

Planning is important for many life goals such as buying a house, sending chil-dren to college or a secure retirement, but as Scott Swier, attorney and senior

partner at Swier Law Firm in Sioux Falls, explains, it’s just as important to extend that horizon and plan for beyond.

A will is the only way to be “absolutely certain that your affairs will be dealt with the way you wish” after you die, Scott says.

A will must meet certain requirements, which vary by state, in order to be considered valid. In South Dakota, a will is valid if the “testator,” or person creating the will, is at least 18 years old and of “sound mind,” meaning they are capable of making a will, according to the website lawin-fo.com.

The will must be written or typed and signed by the testator and two witnesses. It is advised that the witnesses be “disinterested” parties, which aarp.org explains means that the wit-nesses won’t benefit from what is in the will.

Scott adds that another important piece to ensuring a will’s validity is that it is notarized.

When writing the will make sure to name the “executor,” or the person who will take care of your estate. The executor could be someone such as your spouse or another family member.

Your estate can consist of anything from your house or car to antiques and other personal items. From there, beneficiaries can be listed to ensure that your estate is distributed according to your wishes. It’s also important to keep your will up to date.

And while it is legal to make your will on your own, Scott advises working with an attorney to ensure its validity.

“It’s the safest way to make sure your will is recognized by a court,” he says.

Pants That FitThe Brand, Style and Your Body All Matter ByBriannaVenekamp

Finding pants that fit, and flatter your figure is hard work because female body types vary so

much. It can seem like every pair of pants you

try on fits differently. In order to avoid adding any unneces-sary stress to your next quest to find the

perfect-fitting pants, keep in mind the

following five tips:

1:Remember,anumberdoesnotdefineyou

Many brands cater to “vanity sizing,” which

means their clothing will run much smaller than other brands. If

you find a pair of pants that are larger than what you typically wear, don’t forgo buying them just because of the number on the tag.

2:Knowyourrealmeasurements

The numbers that really matter are the measurements of your hips, waist and inseam. These numbers help you be more informed about the potential fit before you even try on a pair of pants.

3:KnowwhichbrandsworkforyouHave a pair of pants you love? Save time by shop-

ping the brands you already know work for you.

4:KnowwhatmattersPay attention to the rise and the hips on pants. A

mid-rise cut is the most flattering, while pants with a low- or high-rise waist work only on certain body shapes. Regarding length, boot-cut pants compli-ment the majority of body types, so you might have more success starting with those first.

5:FindfabricswithstretchLook for pants with a small amount of spandex. It

will allow the material to stretch more easily around larger areas, while fitting closely in other areas.

50 Shades of RedYou Can Rock Luscious Red Lips!ByChantelleDuncan•PhotosbyMargaretPennock

Jessica wearing Dominatrix

Many women think of red lipstick and say to themselves: “I can’t wear that!” “My lips are too small. “I have fair skin; it will never look classy.”

Page 41: Sioux Falls Woman Magazine - February/March 2016

SiouxFallsWoman.net | FEB/MAR 2016 41

Don’t doubt yourself. Why not just have fun and give it a try! Have you ever seen a shirt that looked horrendous on the hanger, and tried it on and it has become a part of your favor-ite wardrobe? Red lipstick can be the same.

Red lipstick gives off confident vibes, screams irresistible, and simply compli-ments all lip types. Red lipstick can also be a great substitute for stilettos that will end up only making your feet hurt. Who will be looking at your feet when the vibrant attention is focused on your darling lip color? And let’s not forget to men-tion with Valentine’s Day near, you can sip a delicious merlot at a candlelight dinner in your favorite Italian restaurant with-out staining your lips.

Finding the right shade of red for your skin tone can be tricky, but there are many shades that are specially made just for you! Here is an easy guide to having luscious red lips:

• Thin lips? Because bold colors tend to make the lip look smaller, opt for red passion with a red lip gloss.

• Fearless fuller lips? Perfect for bold intense colors such as burgundy. However, with darker reds, make sure you are precise and use a lip brush and then blend it with your fingers for an even look.

• Fair skin, but desire a bright red lip color? Sometimes an orange-red lip color may look overwhelming, but a pop of color brightens up the face. Try multiple shades to find the one that works for you.

• The new trend is using a matte finish. However, if you’re going to use this formula remember to exfoliate your lips. Matte lip color sits in the fine lines in your lips and will not look appealing if you don’t! Matte colors are also very dry so if you like a lot of moisture but love the matte look, use a lip moisturizer first.

• Don’t forget to play up your eyes the right way when wearing a red lip color. Use a neutral beige eye color and some mascara that won’t compete with your bold lips.

Wash Away The Winter BluesByJillFunke

Jack Frost gets credit for creating a beautiful winter wonderland, but he also shoulders the blame for punishing Midwest vehicles through-out the season. In addition to the snow and ice,

salt and sand are used on roads, and while they aid traction, those substances are most certainly an enemy to the body of any vehicle.

Matt Murphy, quick lane manager at Sioux Falls Ford Lincoln, knows that after a long winter, vehicle owners are anxious to get their automobiles back to their pre-winter glory. “Your vehicle needs a little ten-der loving care, both inside and out, to remove the salt, sand, rocks and other debris that may be hiding in every nook and cranny,” Matt says.

improving a vehicle’s appearance, the extra attention in spring can help maximize the vehicle’s resale value.

Owners should plan on setting aside the first warm week-end of the year to give their vehicles a gentle bath. Because the underbody is most affected by the elements of winter, it should be thoroughly hosed down, with lots of attention directed at the wheel arch areas. When the vehicle is dry, owners should look for rusting areas. This is also the time for an examination of the brakes, exhaust system, suspension and steering components. Matt also advises examining the tires and the vehicle’s alignment. “Considering the roughness of winter potholes and snowdrifts, the automobile’s alignment may need attention,” he says.

Next, the owner should focus on the body of the vehicle, which should again be rinsed with a hose with the nozzle set to mist/spray to help gently wash away any lingering winter debris. Starting on the roof and working downward with a sponge full of warm water and car shampoo, owners should save the fender and bumper areas until the end. It is important to make sure all of the shampoo has been thoroughly rinsed off prior to drying the vehicle with a chamois or natural fiber cloth. When the vehicle is squeaky clean, chips and other problem areas should stand out. Matt says, “You want to address chips immediately to prevent moisture from working its way under the paint and making the chip larger.” Touch-up kits can work well for smaller repairs. After any touch-up work is completed, a good quality polish can be applied and will act as a barrier between the paint and moisture, as well as give the vehicle the shine it deserves.

Moving to the inside of the vehicle, floor mats should be removed and the interior cleaned. Matt explains, “Periodically, you deep clean your carpets at home. Apply the same thought to the interior materials of your car, vacuuming and steam cleaning to remove all of the residue caught in the fibers.” He says that it is important to use cleaning solutions suitable to the materials of the interior, including upholstery and trim. Clean water and a chamois restore the glimmer to painted metal surfaces, while glass cleaner on all of the inte-rior glass removes months of smudges and fingerprints.

“Your vehicle needs a little

tender loving care, both inside and out, to remove the salt,

sand, rocks and other debris that

may be hiding in every nook and cranny.”~ Matt Murphy,

Countryside Perfection

The beauty of the countryside is the perfect loca-tion for this sprawl-

ing ranch home located just out-side Crooks, SD. Homeowners Megan and Derek Kindelspire, along with their two young chil-dren, have a love for the outdoors. This can be seen in the home’s exterior, which boasts a blend of natural elements such as stone, wood and metal.

“My husband and I both grew up in rural settings so we knew we wanted to settle down in a home located outside of the city,” says Megan, for whom the location holds special meaning. The home sits on four acres that served as part of her family’s homestead, dating back to her great-great- grandparents. Once Derek settled into his job in Sioux Falls, the couple started the building pro-cess by contacting Shane Hartung, owner of Hartung Homes LLC, to create their dream home. “Shane’s eye for detail really pulled this house together. He was on site everyday making sure our vision came to life.”

Upon entering, the main level fea-tures a grand family room that flows into a casual dining area and kitchen. “Derek did a lot of research and fell in love with this wood,” Megan says of the cabinets from Sioux Falls Kitchen & Bath. The specialty wood called rustic beech has a knotty appearance that adds warmth and blends with the tones of chocolate brown, cream and dark grey in the gran-ite countertops. Hand-scraped hickory floors feature wide planks reminiscent of the past, while shiny stainless-steel appliances keep things modern. To add contrast, a travertine tile backsplash is used throughout and makes a grand statement behind the custom cooktop and along the double-tiered island. “I really wanted a large area,” Megan says of the expansive island. “And I just love how it turned out.” With oil-rubbed bronze pendant lights and casual leather bar stools, this large island serves as a natural gathering spot. “And then there’s my farmhouse sink,” she says smiling. Made of cement, the custom piece was created by Kwik Kerb and stained in tones for a copper appearance.

Completely custom in nature, the main floor powder bath pushes the boundaries on design for pure rustic charm. A cement pond sink, features pieces of gravel from the sub-contrac-tor’s parking lot. “I think he just found these stones and stuck them in there,” she laughs of its construction. The cement top remains smooth but the bowl is molded to appear like a quaint pond. As for the accessories, these creative-thinking homeowners went “D.I.Y.” and used a mix of old barn wood and rope for the mirror and other piec-es. And what rustic theme would be complete without mason jars? In this case, the Kindelspires used them to cre-ate the perfect pendant light fixtures from Mahlander’s Inc.

An oasis of sunlight and outdoor views, the master suite is breathtaking with its large windows and simple acces-sories. The focal point of the room is the large wood-plank sleigh bed that is accented with industrial-style metal for a true distressed effect. The tones are kept soft, with just subtle hues of gray and mustard found in the bedspread. The walls are coated in a warm brown that accents the carpet. A tray ceiling is trimmed with wood and painted a dark cocoa. Modern-style nightstands and stick accent pieces flank the bed to con-tinue with the home’s tranquil theme.

The master bath is a haven for relaxation with heated floors, body sprays in the shower and an over-sized soaking tub. Yet all elements are encompassed by beauty with custom-laid tile floors with mosaic accents, custom wood cabinets and double dual mirrors. Once again, exercising their knack for creating personalized design, the couple chose to have dual cement ramp sinks and unfinished edges, also known as “live” edges, on the cement countertops.

The centralized great room is perfect for family fun and gathering. Soft carpet from Carpet One of Sioux Falls, chocolate brown walls, triple windows adorned with wood blinds for ample sunlight and soft leather furniture keep things light and simple. The grand part of the space is the coffered ceiling. The large squares are all lined with rich wood trim with the inlay painted a dark brown cocoa for a dramatic affect. The ceiling also coordinates with the tray ceilings seen in the entryway and above the winding staircase leading to the lower level. “We didn’t want anything too over the top, yet we like classic elegance and a customized look,” adds Megan of the grand ceilings. The couple relied on understated decor and col-ors keep a contemporary feel. “We have young kids running around and we hope this will one day serve as a gathering spot for their friends,” she adds. 

But when the children want a little privacy, they each have their own bedrooms decorated to their liking. “Our daughter is into ‘Frozen’ and we painted the walls this lavender color that has sparkles on one wall.” Even her center light fixture is dazzling with a round mirror base with dan-gling crystals. A classically designed “Jack and Jill” bathroom connects the other bedroom. Megan says they kept the decor and design of this shared space similar to the rest of the home for future use.

The room for their son, age 4, is bold and vibrant or “vintage boy,” as Megan describes it. The walls are navy blue with a red and white rac-ing stripes. The designing duo recently added some wall decor to the space with two handmade shelves using pieces of wood and leather belts.

Rich woods, marbled granite and copper tones set the stage for beau-ty upstairs, yet it’s the lower level wine room that leaves guests awe-struck. Rather than fully enclosing the wine room, the Kindelspires decided to install triple floor-to-ceil-ing glass windows that look into the wine room as guests walk down the stairs. Inside, the walls are faux fin-ished and distressed in sandy tones with dark wood wine racks. A barn wood style ceramic floor adds a lighter touch to keep the focus on the custom pieces. A split wine barrel serves as dual wall-mount bases for a custom hand-carved wood top designed by Jeremy Frislie of Frislie Toolworks. “We both love wine and wanted to design a space where people could see inside rather than hide it away,” Megan adds. Continuing with the wine theme, a large wine barrel from Strawbale Winery is con-verted into a sink with a recessed copper bowl and coordinating fau-cets in the lower level powder bath. Keeping things simple yet unique for the small space, she chose only Edison bulbs to serve as pendant lights; meanwhile, metal pip-ing was painted bronze and used as accessories. Similar faux finished walls and barn-wood style ceramic floors also lend a Tuscan theme.  

Moving into the great room, visitors find a custom bar with black granite counter-tops from Milliron Granite & Quartz, gunmetal mosaic tile back splash and rustic wood ceiling. A backlit corner “booze rack,” as Megan calls it, draws the eye to the sur-rounding tempered glass-top custom cabinets.

“This is Derek’s favorite space,” she says as she opens the door to a dedicated theater room featuring tiered rows of dark brown leather seating and a large rear-projection television screen. Perfect for movie night, it even has beanbags for the kids.

With unique touches, laid-back design and serene countryside views, this home is sure to attract visitors. For guests, the lower level has a guest bedroom and full bath. And even though Megan and Derek plan to expand the outdoor area and add per-sonal touches to the main living spaces, they are perfectly settled in their country creation that was designed to leave a lasting impression.

Tackling home improvement projects, large or small, can be daunt-ing to some homeowners. Concerns about such things as having the right tools or the ability to overcome unforeseen develop-ments often cause confidence to crumble. But it’s time to pick up

that tool belt, climb that ladder and plug in the glue gun because do-it-yourself projects are more popular than ever thanks to an overload of cable television shows and how-to websites. Such projects are also credited with bringing friends and family together, saving money, increasing home values and most important, instilling a sense of accomplishment.

So let’s get started. Here are some tips to overcome D.I.Y. fears and make your home improvement or handmade project a success.

One of the first rules of thumb is proper planning. It might seem fun to start pounding through sheetrock or pulling up carpet on a whim, but if you’re not “ready,” it can end up wasting time and dollars. When planning, assess the project on various levels. Identify exactly what needs to be done, establish a time frame and form a budget. Sounds very preliminary but a lot of DIY projects can “grow” into bigger projects that end up breaking both backs and banks. If you are looking to have a project complete for a specific event or holiday, be sure to research how long it will take. A lot of projects include time-wasters such as drying times and getting special-order prod-ucts.

Unlock the Know-how to Handle Home Improvement Projects

Second, know what you want but be flexible—literally. You can take your project from good to great by having well thought-out plans and drawings while remaining open-minded. Take your ideas to a professional or ask around to reinforce your plan and possibly gain knowl-edge. If your project doesn’t have a specific tutorial, online video or instructions, make sure you have a “go-to” person in case an emergency arises.

Before digging in, ripping out or putting up, it’s important to purchase your materials ahead of time and have the right tools available. You might think it’s cute to use a butter knife as a screwdriver, but you’re actually just wasting time and could compromise the end result. When it comes to materials, nobody likes running to the store mid-project in their paint clothes to purchase additional supplies. If possible, try to use calculators or ask a professional to assist in purchasing the correct products in the right quantity.

Once started, take it one step at a time. It’s easy to get over-whelmed, especially with large projects such as finishing a lower level or building a deck. If possi-ble, break it down into “mini-projects” and form a timeline to create a sense of accomplish-ment for even the small achieve-ments.

Finally, remember that the closer you look, the less you see. Take a step back and review your project as you move toward your goal. Maybe ask someone who is not involved in the project to look it over. Who knows, your trim may be crooked, the fire-place may not be centered or your light fixture could be too low. Catch these little glitches early on so they can be easily corrected. If things get really out of hand, don’t be afraid to con-tact your “go-to” person. After all, you’ve been working hard; it’s ok to ask for professional assistance along the way. Because in the end, you will have to live with your craftsmanship and should take pride in a job well done.

But It’s Cold Out There!Why winter can be a great time to runByKatieDaniel,AveraHealth

If you think of running as a sport that’s reserved for track stars, think again. Given that you’re healthy enough, anyone can

begin running—even in the winter.

Just ask Lisa Kolda, who didn’t start running until nearly age 30. Eight years later, she’s a four-time Boston Marathon qualifier who was recently named one of the 2015 Sioux Falls Marathon’s elite runners.

Lisa runs year-round, and winter is actually her favorite time of the year to run outside. The cold temperatures can feel invigorating and you rarely have to worry about getting too hot. Plus, it can cure the cabin fever that sets in this time of year.

Page 73: Sioux Falls Woman Magazine - February/March 2016

SiouxFallsWoman.net | FEB/MAR 2016 73

She offers these tips for safe and enjoyable winter running:

• Setagoal. “The routine of knowing what I’m going to do, following a training plan and accomplishing a goal motivates me year-round.”

• Wearreflectivegear. “To stay safe, I always wear reflective gear, including wristbands that light up on my legs and arms, so drivers can see me.”

• Dresswarmly,butnottoowarmly.Even in the winter, you should dress as if it’s 15 to 20 degrees warmer. This allows your body temperature to increase and reduces the risk of overheating and excessive sweating. You should feel chilled when you walk out the door. If you are toasty warm, remove a layer.

• Layerup.Wear two to three layers of clothing and always a hat and gloves or mittens. - Outside layer that blocks the wind - Inside layer that wicks the moisture away from your skin

On the coldest days, add a mid-layer that fits more loosely—like fleece—to insulate and move the moisture from your base layer away from your skin

• Warmup.“When it’s really cold out, I’ll run inside on a treadmill for a half mile before heading outside to run. That warms up my body more quickly.”

• Startintothewind.Start your run into the wind so that the wind will be at your back on the way home. You’ll avoid getting chilled by the wind after you’ve been sweating.

• Avoidtheice. Run on salted roads and sidewalks or fresh snow. If it’s too icy outside, change up your routine by running on a treadmill, or cross training inside.

• Forgetspeed.Running in the winter is more about maintenance miles and movement rather than speed.

• Simplygo.Lisa says her biggest advice is to never give up. “Everyone can run. You just have to put your mind to it and keep taking the next step.”

Lisa, a 37-year-old radiology surgery technol-ogist at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center, was active in basketball and 4-H rodeo as a youth. She didn’t try running until 2007, when her sister-in-law Marci talked her into running the Avera Race Against Breast Cancer 5k. She became hooked on running and soon pro-gressed to marathons and half marathons.

Along with healthy changes to her diet, Lisa changed her routine to become a “morning per-son.” She says, “Running in the mornings helps me wake up and be ready to go when I get to work.”

The most important thing is to simply take the first step and then keep moving. “If you want to start living an active and fit lifestyle, just start slow and work your way up,” Lisa says.

Dr. Daniel Todd, MD from Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat, works with patients year-round to prevent, treat and potentially cure their winter allergies. “People tend to stay indoors so there are other allergens that can become an issue,” he says. “In fact, our tightly sealed, well-insulat-ed homes can aggravate the problem of winter allergies.” What to look for are dust mites, ani-mal dander and molds. But how you react to these winter weather allergens is different from seasonal allergies, which cause more hay fever-like symptoms. “If you have symptoms such as congestion, headache and drainage, you likely are suffering from winter allergies.”

Just as the triggers and symptoms differ from seasonal allergies, so do the precautions and treatments. Although some do cross over, there are a number of treatments that can pre-vent a reaction. These steps include reducing humidity in the home, washing bedding weekly in hot water, removing carpet and cleaning hard-surface floors using a damp mop to reduce stirring up dust. “You may also find that it helps to open a window or door on warmer days to air out your house right after cleaning so the aller-gens and dust you’ve kicked up have a place to escape,” Dr. Todd says.  

However, despite taking the proper precau-tions, you can still suffer from a sinus infection. It’s important to keep in mind that because there are fewer hay fever symptoms, traditional antihistamines are less effective. Dr. Todd rec-ommends decongestants and anti-inflammatory medications such as steroids, which unfortu-nately carry side effects. To avoid these, anoth-er option is topical solutions and nasal rinses. “Patients often find relief with spraying and rins-ing the nose and using eye drops rather than taking pills orally,” he adds. “I always have my patients rinse their nose out with saline at least once a day and follow it with the regular use of a nasal steroid spray.” And don’t forget to keep nasal membranes healthy and moist by applying antibacterial ointment to the nostrils.

As for permanent, year-round cures to aller-gic sensitivities, he suggests allergy shots and nasal surgery as the best options. “By getting regular injections, the body becomes desensi-tized to the allergen, making the patient perma-nently immune.” If someone has such chronic and severe obstructive symptoms that these therapies are not enough, surgery is a final option.

So just because the thermometer has dropped, allergens can remain on the rise. Be sure to take proper precautions and use the correct medications and treatments for the sea-son.

At the Right TimeOne Woman’s Journey to a Healthier LifeByMariaStys,MD,

SanfordHeartHospital

Sandy Luke knew something w a s n ’ t r i g h t .

The 61-year-old from Clark, SD, had seen it before in her mother and sister. She knew what the severe burning in her chest and the short-ness of breath meant—some-thing was wrong with her heart.

“I had a family history of heart disease and I knew that was what it was,” Sandy says. “I couldn’t get around the yard without having to stop and sit down. Or I would be cut-ting hair and my hands and arms would fall asleep. I would have to stop and just talk to my client for a bit so she wouldn’t notice anything was wrong.”

And although Sandy knew her health was in trouble, she wasn’t

eager to go to the doctor. However, a lucky coin-cidence made getting checked almost impossible to refuse.

“I see a physi-cian’s assistant and was there the same day the heart screening truck was,” Sandy recalls. “And the physician’s

assistant said I would make her day if I went

and got screened. And I went in there knowing

that this was going to be the start of it; I had put it off long enough.”

She left the truck with her suspicions confirmed and a follow-up appoint-ment made. Her choles-terol levels were through the roof and she would need to have a nuclear stress test. She met with Lloyd Solberg, MD, Sanford cardiologist,

who put her on heart medication and gave her nitroglycerin in case of emergency. However, he wasn’t satis-fied with those measures and referred her to Sioux Falls for an angioplasty. The angioplasty is a nonsurgical pro-cedure used to open blocked arteries in the heart.

“In my case, the angioplasty didn’t work,” Sandy says. “My arteries were too calcified and I was told that I would need open-heart surgery, which, if I would have gone in sooner, I might not have needed.”

Sandy scheduled her surgery with David Maziarz, MD, Sanford cardiovas-cular surgeon, and prepared herself for the recovery.

“I had seen my mom undergo open-heart surgery in the early ’90s and she looked so terrible after sur-gery that I just didn’t want my family to see me like that,” Sandy shares. “So my husband came in first and was so surprised that I looked so good that he brought the whole family in to see me!”

The surgery was a success and Sandy began her rehab regimen. She enrolled in cardiac rehab, where she began walking on the treadmill, riding the stationary bike and building up her strength.

“I feel so much better,” Sandy says. “It’s all going wonderfully, and I praise the entire team at Sanford. All the doctors and nurses were amazing. I was so fortunate that I was encour-aged to get screened. And I just want to encourage everyone else to get screened, as well, because I’m 61, but I don’t feel it. I feel so much younger and so glad I finally got the care I needed.”

Live Each Moment with ConfidenceTreatment Safely Eliminates Underarm Sweat

Excessive underarm sweat can quickly turn the thrill of a special occasion,

first date or work presenta-tion into an embarrassing moment.

With varying levels of success, past treatment options for axillary hyperhi-drosis (excessive underarm sweating) included topical agents, oral medication, Botox and surgery.

“All those options were somewhat suboptimal,” says Dr. Sarah Sarbacker of Dakota Dermatology, 4950 S. Minnesota Ave.

However, today’s latest technology, miraDry®, holds

great promise, Sarbacker says. “We are very excited to be able to offer this new technology to our commu-nity.”

The procedure uses non-invasive heat technology from a handheld device to deliver precisely controlled electromagnetic energy beneath the underarm skin to the sweat glands. According to the non-profit patient advocacy group the International Hyperhidrosis Society’s website, the FDA-cleared technique results in thermolysis (decomposition by heat) of the sweat glands. MiraDry® has a very strong safety data profile.

Sarbacker, who underwent the procedure herself in September, says the treatment takes 90 minutes and is basically painless.

“For me personally, it has been life-changing,” she says. “I no longer use antiperspirant. My clothes don’t get stained and I have no more embar-rassing white marks on my shirts. How great is that!”

Local anesthesia, administered via a tumescent technique used in cos-metic procedures such as liposuction, is all that is needed before starting the treatment. Patients usually experi-ence little to no discomfort during the procedure and there is minimal to no downtime afterward. Common side effects include underarm swelling, redness, and tenderness lasting a few days to a few weeks, according to the IHS site.

While sweating is an essential body function for temperature control, the underarms house less than 2 percent of the body’s sweat glands, so the technique does not affect the body’s ability to cool itself.

There aren’t many women like Missy Hotchkin-Robinson around. Having grown up in Sioux Falls—a self-pro-claimed “lifer”—she loves the city so much that she vouches never to leave. She lives within minutes of her childhood home and just a block from her parents’ house. “I grad-uated from Washington High School in 2001 and from Augustana College in 2006. I am very, very close with all my family, including my extended family. Both of my children are named after my grandparents, Orv and Ione Hotchkin, because we are/were extremely close.” Incredibly, her three best friends have been part of her life for 28 years.

In 2012, Missy married Sioux Falls native Chad Robinson, and they have a 2-year-old son, Corvin, and a 3-month-old baby girl, Olivia. As a vibrant young mother and wife as well as an accomplished businesswoman, you would never guess that just a few months ago Missy narrowly escaped death.

Eagerly awaiting the birth of their daugh-ter in September, Missy’s pregnancy had been healthy, happy and uneventful. Corvin was born six weeks premature so Missy’s doctor had her take extra precautions to reduce the risk of another premature birth. At three days overdue, Missy and Chad as well as their entire family were ecstatic to be about to welcome Olivia to the family.

Admitted to the hospital on the evening of September 29, the plan was to induce labor the following morning. “The doctor told us we didn’t need to rush to call our families because more than likely we wouldn’t have a baby right away. But the next morning at about six, I felt strange. Something really told me to call my mother because I wanted my family there when my baby came. I had everyone there for Corvin’s birth so I wanted the same for Olivia.”

After receiving Missy’s call, her mother, Val, arrived at the hospital less than an hour later, excited to welcome her new granddaughter to the world. However when she checked in to see her, she immediately knew something was horribly wrong. “The nurse at the desk told me she’d been moved and I saw a cart go by with Missy’s purse and her clothes.” Unbeknownst to Val, within minutes after going into active labor, Missy’s healthy preg-nancy had gone from being completely nor-mal to a nightmare. Her baby’s heart rate had plummeted from over 140 beats a minute to just 40. It was at that critical moment that her doctors performed an emergency C-section to save both mother and baby.

While the doctors delivered Olivia in just two minutes, whisking the baby to safety, Missy was left to fight for her life because of uncontrollable bleeding. What her medical team suspected but weren’t sure of at the time was that Missy was experiencing an incredibly rare amniotic fluid embolism, or AFE, an unpredictable condition that few women survive. This suspicion was confirmed a full two days later.

Val remembers, “Chad had come out of the room and said Missy was having a procedure but he didn’t really know how serious it was. I think he was in shock and denial. Pretty soon a resident came out and gave us an update and that’s when we first found out what was really going on. I wanted to go see my daugh-ter and she said no. They told us they couldn’t stop the bleeding, that Missy’s uterus wouldn’t contract.”

In the surgery room, Missy continued to hemorrhage. “Her doctor came in and told us what they were trying to do to stop the bleeding, but her blood wasn’t clotting and they were pumping units into her but they were coming back out as fast as they were going in. It was a horrible situation and the entire family was just an emotional mess.” It wasn’t until this time that Missy’s parents were allowed to see their daughter. Val notes, “She was so pale and so cold, her dad and I just couldn’t believe this was hap-pening. I remember seeing a nurse counting something on the floor in the room. I found out later it was 35 towels that had been soaked in Missy’s blood.” Over the next several hours, her medical team worked tirelessly to save her, ulti-mately having to perform an emergency hysterectomy to finally stop the bleed-ing.

According to the American Red Cross, the average person has 10 pints of blood in their body and a typical transfusion is three pints. Missy had been given 13 units of blood plus platelets and plasma to keep her alive. More than 10 hours after her baby was born, Missy had undergone two major surgeries and had survived against all odds.

She shares, “AFE causes acute and rapid collapse of mother and/or baby as a result of an allergic-like reaction to amniotic fluid entering the bloodstream. It’s an unpredictable, and most often fatal complication. AFE is so rare, most medical professionals learn of it only in textbooks; and the estimated incidence is 2.5 in every 100,000 births. My doc-tors have never seen it, and state they will never see it again. The likelihood of surviving an AFE is slim; most women do not even make it to the C-section. In addition to AFE, I experienced dissemi-nated intravascular coagulation or DIC, which is where my blood wouldn’t clot, resulting in severe bleeding. I had 30 extra pounds of fluid pumped into me when all was said and done. They say they nearly lost me twice and had to take resuscitative measures. I stayed six days on the labor and delivery floor, under intensive care.”

Olivia was discharged before Missy but spent the next few days in the hos-pital in her mother’s room with her grandmother, Val, taking care of her. “Olivia was able to stay with her mother as long as someone was there to take care of her so, of course, I stayed.”

Missy credits her survival to the grace of God, to her “guardian angel” grandfather Orv who passed away two years ago, and to the exper-tise of her medical team: obstetric specialists Dr. Anthony Sierra, Dr. Kristin Hermanson and Dr. Ashley Briggs, and her primary care physician Dr. Jennifer Klein. “The compassion, humanity, tenderness, and sincerity of these doctors and their amaz-ing team of nurses are some-thing I have never experi-enced before in my life. Just the thought of everything they did for me and my family that day, the days following, and the rest of our lives, brings me to tears.”

She continues, “The way they made me feel is inde-scribable; I felt it in my heart that they truly, genuinely, cared about me. They are real people with real feelings, and they saved my life. Not only did they save my life, they saved my entire family’s lives. My beautiful grandma still has a granddaughter; my parents still have a daughter; my sib-lings still have a sister; my niece and nephews still have an aunt; my aunts and uncles still have a niece; but most importantly, my babies still have a mommy and my hus-band still has a wife. That really means the world to us, and we cannot express enough gratitude to suffice everything they did for us. I undoubtedly believe my doc-tors were a godsend.”

Today, Missy still has her moments of sadness and regret that she’ll never again be able to have another child. However, she is incredibly grateful for the gift of life and being able to share it with her family. “My heart is so full, so unbelievably full. I take a little more time each day to thank God for all the blessings I have in my life. I can’t tell you how many times I stare at this baby and think we did this, we made it together.”

“This experience has made me a better person.

The saying, ‘Life is so very precious and short; tomorrow is never promised,’ really hits home.

I experienced that firsthand, and it has really made me

slow down and realize what’s most important in life, and

truly appreciate that!”

– Missy Hotchkin-Robinson

New Journey

When asked about her son, Adam, Ann Thompson smiles and reaches for her purse to grab photos. In the first one, he is posing in a football jersey. Another photo shows him playing beanbags.

The last photo shows Ann, Adam’s sister, Abby, and his father, Troy, posing for a Christmas card. But Adam isn’t physi-cally in it; his family holds a framed photo of him.

Adam Thompson died May 23, 2012, at age 16. After a busy day of driver’s education and running errands with Ann, Adam arrived home and mentioned that he was tired and short of breath. He went to the spare bedroom upstairs to take a nap, which Ann says was unusual because his bedroom was down-stairs.

“It sounds kind of goofy, me talking about it, but if he never would have done that, we never would have heard him,” Ann explains.

A few minutes after Adam went upstairs, there was a loud noise, she says. Adam had fallen off the bed and was wedged between the bed and the wall.

“At first we thought he was joking around,” Ann says. “We moved the bed out of the way. Then when I moved him over, he was already blue.”

When the EMTs arrived, they used an automated external defibrillator (AED) to shock Adam, but the AED didn’t work because he had no pulse.

There was nothing more they could do.

Adam’s cause of death was hyper-trophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is the abnormal thickening of the heart muscle.

“That’s where my journey started,” Ann says.

After Adam’s death, Ann began working on the side for Screening America. In October, she began work-ing full time as the program’s director.

“My goal with Screening America is to get the word out about what (HCM) is,” she says. “Most people have not heard of this or don’t think of this.”

Ann explains that HCM usually goes undetected because there are no signs or symptoms. However, a heart screening provided by Screening America for people ages 12-34 can detect HCM because it measures the thickness of the heart muscle.

The screenings cost $89, but any donations to the Adam Thompson Foundation can go toward covering the cost if someone cannot afford it.

Ann adds that supplying every school with an AED and training stu-dents on its use as well as how to perform CPR are critical goals because bystanders can be the difference between life and death. Every minute that goes by decreases a person’s survival rate by 10 percent.

Screening America tests done at schools already have led to some chil-dren receiving additional care because of the results, Ann says.

“It’s hard for me to look back and think this one little heart screening and my son would still be with me today,” she says. “I don’t want any other parents to take this for granted. I want them to have knowledge and education.”

When Linda Harding first began working as a registered nurse in 1981, she never imagined it would lead to a lifetime of

caring, guiding and listening. It’s these qualities, and many more, that garnered her being named “Nurse of the Year” by

the JY6 Foundation in 2015. “I’ve always been a people person

and loved working with can-cer patients and their fami-

lies,” says Harding of her position at Avera. Yet she never imagined being recognized for such a prestigious award.

The JY6 Foun-dation was found-ed in memory of Jorgen Yde, a young man who battled leukemia. His positive expe-rience with his health care team, family and friends guided him throughout his j o u r n e y .

In 2011 he passed away but wanted to leave a legacy. To honor his final wishes to find a cure, his family started a foundation to raise funds for childhood cancer research.

“When I first heard the story of the foun-dation and what his family was accomplish-ing, I was impressed and amazed at their commitment,“ Linda says. “I love my job and feel the award was a nice way to wrap up my career as an oncology nurse.” Linda will soon be retiring but says she plans to remain working on an as-needed basis at the Avera Cancer Institute.

Over the years, she’s been known for her outgoing personality and unique sense of humor. “A lot of people think working with critically ill patients would be depressing,” she says. “But my job is more about life than anything.” And it shows. She adds, “Keeping up with all the changes in the medical field is exciting. But that’s what she loves. Every day is a new challenge.”

But health care aside, Linda says her job is more about people. In fact, as she wraps up a career that’s spanned over three decades, she’s been giving out a lot of hugs, making phone calls and sending notes to patients about her retirement. “I’ve developed a strong bond with the patients and families so it will be difficult to leave,” she adds. “But I’m happy to have a job where I can touch peo-ple’s lives.” And thanks to organizations such as the JY6 Foundation, nurses like Linda Harding are lifted up for their dedication to the profession as they continue to fundraise for a cure.

From Sedate Gallery to Art PartiesLuverne’s HGS Gallery Shifts Focus to Monthly Events ByTheaMillerRyan•PhotosbyNancyTesdall

HGS Gallery in Luverne, MN, is taking the term “art gallery” and turning it upside down. Instead of a hushed library-like set-ting with paintings hung in lines, HGS is

opening for monthly “art parties.”

Artist and gallery owner Lori Hallstrom says it was time to try something new. The traditional art gallery format isn’t always working for artists, so HGS will open for once-a-month art events starting in April. One weekend a month, the gallery will be open, brimming with new art and hosting art classes for the whole fam-ily. The next month, the old art will be gone and new art will take its place for the next event.

Page 97: Sioux Falls Woman Magazine - February/March 2016

SiouxFallsWoman.net | FEB/MAR 2016 97

The first of the parties will be an indoor art festival with a spring and rebirth theme. “It’s the same weekend as the Luverne Home and Health Show,” Lori says of the April 16 event, “so it’s a great time for visitors to come to the gal-lery and look for new ideas decorating their home. Art is always a welcome addition when changing the feel of a space.”

In addition, Lori plans to host six large-scale events during the year with music, food and on-site artists.

Lori started Hallstrom Glass Studio 14 years ago, making custom stained-glass win-dows and antique reproductions at Craftsman’s Creek Gallery in Sioux Falls. When that gal-lery closed, Lori moved her work to different galleries, but finally settled into her own multi-artist gallery in Luverne five years ago.

She and her husband, who live above HGS Gallery, plan to remodel the storefront to ready it for the new format. They will continue to operate their glass and wood studio full time out of the building and appointments are encour-aged to see their work between events and open week-ends.

The change is a big one for art galleries, Lori says. “The way I look at it is we all succeed or none. The more we cooperate, the better chance we artists have. If we can bring traffic in one big weekend, we can change the way things are for artists.”

HGS Gallery is located at 208 East Main Street in Luverne. For more information, go to hgsgallery.com.
