Robyn’s Nest: Gotta Fly! BY SANDIE WIESE | PHOTOS BY CHANG PHOTOGRAPHY

Looking to feather your nest with treasures from the past? Then fly on over to Robyn’s Nest, just a few minutes’ drive beyond

the Sioux Falls city limits and just outside Brandon. Opened in October 2008, Robyn’s Nest is tucked away down

a winding tree-lined road, and around back in the lower level of her home. Interested in antiques since her many times as a small child tagging along with her mom and dad to estate sales and auctions, Robyn now preserves the past with her passion and personality. The refurbished, restored, recreated, and repurposed

(all reasonably priced) are invitingly displayed; stood, hung, or propped inside and outside Robyn’s Nest.

Buffets, dressers, desks, tables, tins (in all shapes, sizes, and themes) board games, manual typewriters, an antique baby buggy, and even an old metal dollhouse resembling the one I owned as a child, wooden school desks, books, and even an antique barber shop chair. Antique school desks and other assorted items redecorated by Robyn were just several of the many treasures waiting to be found. “It’s funny what you can’t do


with a bottle of Mod Podge and old books and magazines.”Robyn is ever on the fly, traveling to lots of antique sales, estate

sales, and auctions — not wanting to miss anything, and always scrutinizing items wondering what she can make from them. When Robyn looks at old test tubes in a metal holding rack, she visualizes them as elegant and unique vases, a wooden beehive box transforms into its new life as a wine box, and a set of old library card drawers awaits Robyn’s next inspiration. Even the often one-of-a-kind display furniture is for sale…and on at least

one occasion by customer request, the resident cat’s kittens.When traveling to sell her wares, Robyn is finding that five

ten foot by twelve foot booths no longer provide enough surface area for display, nor are two trailers hauled along on both then and on vacations sufficient enough to fit all of her finds. “The thing is I buy everything I like…so then it’s kind of sad when I see my treasures go out the door.” But on the flip side, Robyn adds “...in this business I figure I can own one of everything sometime in my life…before I sell it!” If there is any draw back, Robin says,

it’s when ideas arrive in the predawn hours and she has to fly downstairs quickly to jot them down in a notebook…or when she awakens, chances are they’ve already flown away.

When the nest is full, Robyn admits it’s time for her to share her bargains with other people. “Unfortunately”, says Robyn on her website, “a nest can only hold so many eggs and my nest is overflowing. When I look at a piece of furniture I see what it can be versus what it is, and if I ask myself “To be or not to be?” I almost always decide “To be”. This minor issue creates a lack of space on the home front”.

When most robins are flying south for the winter, there is one who is still busy shopping auctions, estate sales, and auctions, and as the little birdie told me, she’s “gotta fly”!

CELEBRATING OUR 40TH YEAR!

The HELP!Line Center is seeking volunteers for its Holiday Clearing House program. These volunteers will make the

holidays a brighter time for area families in need by assisting those who need help, and those who want to help.

The Holiday Clearing House connects donors with families in need during the holiday season. Donors provide the families with gifts and clothes for the children, food and basic necessities. The Holiday Clearing House also works with other holiday giving programs in the Sioux Empire to eliminate duplication of services.

Holiday Clearing House volunteers are needed to help in the following ways:

Volunteers are needed to enter applications for holiday assistance from families who need holiday assistance into a database. Volunteers will also problem solve with applications

that are incomplete, and assist donors who have questions about their sponsored families. Shifts available based on the volunteer’s schedule during and after business hours, or on weekends, from November through December.

Volunteers are needed to answer calls from families who need assistance, explaining the program guidelines and helping answer their questions. Volunteers will also assist donors who are looking to sponsor a family, helping them connect with a family in need. Volunteers will work in shifts from 10 am to 7 pm each weekday from November through December. Volunteers will be encouraged to work the shifts that best fit their schedule!

Volunteers must be non-judgmental and be able to maintain confidentiality of clients.

To help, dial 211 and ask to talk to Sara Carothers. Visit www.helplinecenter.org to see over 370 additional ways to volunteer.

Last year 12,919 women, children and men received services from South Dakota domestic violence shelters. Domestic

violence affects people of every age, race, religion, social status, level of education and gender.

Inn it to End it, a project of Children’s Inn, was created to promote a community wide effort to read the novel “Crazy Love” over the next few months. Then in October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we invite you to attend one of six gatherings to discuss the book, its topic of domestic abuse, and to tour Children’s Inn. Two of these gatherings will be lead by a panel of community experts in the field of domestic violence.

The goal of the Inn it to End it project is to raise awareness of domestic violence and to discuss ways to help the women and children in our community break free from abuse and end this terrible affliction.

“Crazy Love,” written by Leslie Morgan-Steiner, is a memoir about abusive love. It is an eyeopening, moving journey, told with candor, self-forgiveness, and grace. For more information on the novel “Crazy Love;” visit www.lesliemorgansteiner.com.

Purchase your book at Zandbroz Variety and 15% of the book price will be donated to Children’s Inn.

We do hope you will be able to join us, and encourage you to invite your book club, your friends, and family to attend (must be 18 and older to tour Children’s Inn.)

With the nuptials of Liz Bashore and Ted Heeren, the threshold they’d cross over into their married life was

something they enjoyed exploring together. The house at 703 S. Phillips was one that had gone on and off of the market, friends of theirs had looked at, and was the one they ultimately decided had the historic quality they were looking for.

With both working downtown, the liveliness and proximity of this house to their work space was ideal, and they immediately felt the prairie style was inviting and gave a streamlined appeal to the multi-level home. In fact, the front porch is the area that encapsulates the design personality of the home in many ways. You’ll first sense crispness in light, white walls and white paint

trimming the windows. Then there’s contrasting black and white patterned curtains and a colorful rug resting atop a side sofa. “It feels different in here in each part of the day,” shares Liz Bashore Heeren, and as an artist, she quickly notes how the light changes the way a room looks, adding interest and serenity to the space.

Then, there’s the “man cave” downstairs that has a unique personality of its own. Every groom brings in a few relics from the bachelor pad days, and now the room’s awaiting the arrival of a television and stereo system. But for now, a ram’s head greets guests with a quiet hello and is accompanied by a cowhide rug

A Danish modern design was chosen, with notable clean lines in the cabinetry contrasting darker colors in the slate counter top and flooring. The flooring was made from recycled rubber and keeps a warmer temperature than tile or wood. This room


also needed to extend beyond eating and cooking, as another purpose was to include an extensive area to draw and allow creativity to bubble.

One night in the small town of Garfield, NJ, a fire started inside the local sausage factory. In a blink, the building

was engulfed in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, “All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me.”

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department that could save them. Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another

fire truck came into sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Lodi, NJ volunteer fire department composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65. To everyone’s amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the Lodi old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes.

The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such a super human accomplishment he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian firefighters. A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The reporter asked the Italian

fire chief, “What are you going to do with all that money?”“Wella,” said Chief Pasquale De Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-

old fire chief, “De fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa de brakes on dat truck!!” I love stories that make me smile. Although a fictitious fable, accidental heroes are sometimes the most memorable ones. In the wine world, one of the most well known wines in the world was created one day 40 years ago...by accident.

The first zinfandel vineyards were planted in California in the mid 1800s during the time of the Gold Rush. Brought by eastern European immigrants wanting to make sure they would have wine to drink, it is one of the oldest wine grape varieties in the US. Zinfandel (or zin) had the advantage of not needing a trellis system to thrive. Gnarled head pruned vines can still be found in the Sierra Foothills and a few other regions. Some of the vines

date back over 100 years.Prior to the mid ‘70s zinfandel was produced primarily as a

red wine. Ironically, it was the introduction of “white zinfandel” that saved the old vineyards from being ripped out as sales of red zinfandel fell when other varieties gained popularity. White zinfandel, which accounts for 10% of US wine sales, was discovered quite by accident. A California winemaker, in the process of making a dry zinfandel rose’ experienced a “stuck fermentation” where the yeast died before the sugar was fully converted to alcohol. The winemaker liked the resulting sweet wine and the rest is history.

White Zinfandel gets its blush of color from the deep red skin of the zinfandel grape. When the grapes are harvested, the skins are left on for only a short time, a few hours to a day, perhaps. The weight of the grapes, pressing against each other, extracts a pretty pink-tinged juice. In contrast, a winemaker making red

zinfandel wine will leave the juice and the red skins in contact for days or weeks, producing a deep red juice.

Not all blush wines are equal and here is where white zin shines. It is made from a quality grape. The zinfandel grape is known for its luscious deep, berry-fruit flavors and a characteristic spiciness (think “blackberries”) - which transfers to white zinfandel in a delectable, but less intense manner, than in the red version.

If you are new to wine drinking, try starting with a white zin, it’s sweet and easy to drink. If you already are a white zin drinker, I urge you to try something different! Try a Moscato d’Asti or a Late Harvest Riesling. Expand your palate. Try a new wine today. Carpe Vino!

Dignity and Our State BirdBY JIM MATHIS

Put down the cream of mushroom soup. Yes you. I see you there and I know what you’re doing. It’s

October and your husband just walked through the door and proudly handed you a brace of pheasants. In response you are about to commit the same crime your mother did; smother those noble birds in cream of mushroom soup and cook them until “Campbell’s” is the only discernable flavor left in the pot.

Stop it! Those pheasants are proud animals with beautiful plumage. Your husband and the family pooch worked hard to bring them home. They deserve better than a slow simmer in a crockpot full of cream of yuck. And to save our state bird from a fate worse than birdie hell, I’m here to rescue the roosters and your taste buds from the bland world inside those tin cans.

Whether you’re cleaning the remaining birds out of the freezer from last year or you’ve got a few fresh birds, here’s a recipe that will give the pheasants the treatment they deserve.

I know a lot of people don’t like pheasant because it tastes too “gamey”, and if cooked improperly, that can certainly be the case. But the answer to that gamey taste is not to drown it in bland goo. The answer is to bring out the flavor and surround it with big bold tastes; salty, sweet and savory and cook the bird just long enough to get past the toughness.

My wife’s (and my) favorite recipe for these Chinese chickens is what I call Pheasant with Olives. The olives bring a big bold, salty kick and the wine and tomatoes make a nice sweet broth. You’ll want to get every drop.

Sure, sometimes it’s just easier to cover up your varicose veins.

But with our innovative laser vein ablation, patients being treated for varicose veins can

expect to leave our center ready to resume their normal activities, while wearing

compression stockings just during the day for the first week after treatment. After that,

how you choose to cover (or uncover) your legs is up to you! With Veradia, there’s no

reason to live with varicose veins any longer. For more information, call us at 338-9740

and schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew Casey or Dr. Terry Yeager today.

Think you’d rather wear these for a week, or for a lifetime?You decide.

Halloween hoopla has hit the aisles as they are (and have been for a while now) filled with candy corn, plastic

pumpkins and brightly colored costumes. There are Halloween options that bring the family together, save resources and may even save some cash. This holiday is all about treats, so this article is a bit preoccupied with food – a warning to those reading this on an empty stomach. When it comes to candy, costumes and trick-or-treating, create greener traditions without loosing any of the fun.

For most of us, Halloween provides a night when we can attempt our goal of collecting enough candy to last until spring. Look for natural candies full of pure cane sugar, fruit juice and natural coloring to avoid an abundance of chemicals and preservatives. Look for fair-trade certified products that promote compensating farmers fairly or buy in bulk to reduce packaging garbage. If you decide on the organic variety it will be pricier, but it’s still a nice option for smaller gatherings.

I went on a shopping spree at the East Dakotah Natural Foods Co-Op to conduct a taste-test (and also to indulge a sweet-snack craving). I tried Sun Drops, chocolate candies with

a candy coating, which boast “nothing artificial” and gives a portion of profits to an organization contributing directly to farmers called Caring for Cocoa Communities. On the fruitier side, I sampled Stretch Island Fruit Co.’s fruit leather and CLIF Kid Organic Twisted Fruit, which provides a dose of sweetness along with vitamins and minerals for kids of all ages.

Or you could skip the sweets altogether if you want to walk on the wild side. Look for pre-packaged fruits, veggies, or popcorn. Also consider handing out pencils, chalk or stickers. You might not get the same yelps of joy as the houses giving out candy bars, but you’ll add something different to their stash, and maybe save a tooth or two.

Have your own fall festival by serving family and friends treats made with locally produced fruits and veggies. Shop your farmers markets through the last weekend of October. Seedtime and Harvest, a vendor at the Falls Park Farmers Market offers organic produce, including squash and other fall fare. Visit their website, seedtimeandharvest.net, for information about their organic certification. I took home a mini pumpkin from the Sioux Empire Farmers Market at the 8th and Railroad Center

50 nest | GO GREEN

location on a Saturday morning (vendors also can be found Tuesdays at the Kohl’s parking lot).

The cornucopia of fall fruits and veggies can provide traditional decoration, and they taste even better. When carving your pumpkins, toast the seeds and make soups, pies and more from the gooey insides. Check out the fun selection of recipes at pumpkinnook.com/cookbook.htm.

When planning desserts and snacks, remember it’s still apple season. The Country Apple Orchard in Harrisburg (www.countryappleorchard.com) will celebrate the season with Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Festival this month. Enjoy apples, hayrides, fresh homemade apple and pumpkin pies and more – and don’t forget to pick your own pumpkin straight from the patch. I also discovered Hoversten Orchard in Brandon (www.hoverstenorchard.com ) where you can take home apple butter and fresh apple cider. You can pick your own apples and take home a pumpkin grown in Forestburg, SD. Load up the family and enjoy the crisp fall air, while picking the perfect apples and pumpkins.

With all this food talk, I can’t forget the main event: dressing up. You don’t have to spend a fortune on synthetic costumes. Save cash by digging through the closets to find hippy-inspired looks and ‘80s vintage styles. Check Goodwills and thrift stores for one-of-a-kind outfits or make your own. Speaking of using creative juices, encourage your little one to create their own ensemble for the big night if you dare.

As the goblins, GI Joes, cheerleaders and Hello Kitties set out door-to-door, they have an opportunity to collect more than chocolate-covered treasures through “reverse” trick-or-treating. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a campaign for little ones to raise money for children in need worldwide. SightNight is a program to collect prescription glasses and sunglasses on Halloween night for those in need. Check out their websites respectively at youth.unicefusa.org/trickortreat; and Lionsclub.org, search “sight night” for the official “Howl” to Participate Guide.

Being green is about changing your world. Maybe that means decorating the yard with ghosts made of sheets or buying lawn ornaments to be used year after year instead of going into the landfill on November 1. If an environmentalist is someone who makes their environment and world better, each day is an opportunity — even holidays. If that can be done through candy, pumpkin pie and trick-or-treating that is one sweet deal.

The silk and satin atmosphere of pre-frost autumn sprouted orange and black bowties – dozens of acrobatic monarch

butterflies flickered overhead, above the very tall, radiant orange flowers of Tithonia rotundifolia, Mexican sunflower. Their colors

matched as if both flora and fauna had been dipped into the same paint bucket.

Our perception of butterfly gaiety was deceptive. For all our wonderment of their fragile forms in fluid air and complex

metamorphosis, they could just as well have been sharks at a feeding frenzy and barely avoided midstream collisions.

A Mexican sunflower patch is the perfect locale to make a hit with children. Plant a generous number of seeds in May, and then invite kids over to tag monarchs from early August on.* For an hour one sunny, early September day, our grandkids were held rapt, totally engrossed in netting and tagging a dozen monarchs. Repeatedly disturbed, the butterflies continued feeding, oblivious to nets swung enthusiastically by a three, five and nine-year-old. This connection among grandchildren, monarch butterflies and

sunflowers from Mexico has given abundance a new meaning. My cup runneth over.

Tithonia’s namesake is Tithonus, a mortal Trojan loved by Aurora, the dawn goddess. At her request, Zeus granted him immortality but not eternal youth. As Tithonus shriveled with age, the goddess turned him into a cicada or grasshopper, Greek symbol of eternal life.

One could plant tall Mexican sunflowers as a backdrop to more reserved plants, but I massed them right up to curbside, two seeds per hole, half-inch deep, each pair spaced twelve inches from the

next. By late July, they created a dense hedge, and when they began to bloom, a stir from both butterflies and passersby.

Whenever a car drove by at about twenty mph, a loose cloud of paper-thin wings would float upward from the bright orange circles. They hovered a few feet above the flowers for a minute or two, and then dipping and rocking, settled down on them again.

Tithonia is a member of the composite or daisy-flower family, so named because what appears to be one flower is actually a composition of many tiny ones. A couple hundred “disk” flowers might crowd the center and a dozen or so “ray” flowers we usually call petals, rim the circumference. Insects linger longer because each landing platform presents multiple flowers instead of one. One by one, a butterfly’s thread-like proboscis (feeding tube) probes each tiny blossom with dexterity, and this takes time.

Want-to-be-gargantuan plants like Mexican sunflowers are seldom found in spring greenhouses. Narrow and shallow plastic containers stifle their propensity to put out broader and deeper roots and stretch to their tall and bushy proportions.

This year Seed Savers Exchange of Decorah, Iowa was the source of my selection called ‘Torch’. I sowed the seed in late May.* They took their sweet time. Tiny, paired cotyledons didn’t push until after two weeks, but once soil warmed and temperatures in July finally stayed in the eighties, plants grew faster than corn.

After growing to six feet, the tips began to bulge and faint color to show. And then they outdid themselves, stretching even more, to over eight feet, four feet taller than the package description. I

wasn’t disappointed with their stature; it was worth the surprise for the all raves they inspired. Everyone, to a person, has asked, “What are those plants?” or “I must grow that next year; where can I find the seed?” And when I told them the wall of vegetation and flowers was from seed sown as recent as late May, they scarcely believed their ears and eyes.

This combination of butterfly and Mexican sunflower is a study in smooth operators – monarchs because of tiny, overlapping scales on their wings and Tithonia for the delicate covering of downy hairs that coat the greenery. Leaves, stems, and flower parts are velvety to the touch – “pilose” in botanical speak. Deer and rabbits find unappetizing the hairy leaves and sinewy fibers of the stems.

Native to Mexico and Central America, Mexican sunflowers prefer a half day or more of sun and tolerate poor but well-drained soil. Once well rooted, these carefree, hard-working annuals prefer hot summer weather and hold up during dry conditions. Water assistance during extended dry spells will keep plants looking better, and don’t let them dry out while waiting for seeds to germinate and when plants are still young and shallow rooted.

Heights vary among the named selections of Tithonia rotundifolia. The straight species grows to over eight feet, and tall ‘Goldfinger’ reaches five to six. ‘Torch’, the one I planted, obviously miss-marked, was supposed to grow to only four feet. ‘Fiesta del Sol’, at two to three feet tall, was a winner of the All American Selection and Fleuroselect Award in 2000. ‘Goldfinch’, another three to four footer, is amber yellow instead of orange.

The prolific and abundant biomass of another species, Tithonia diversifolia, and its ability to decompose quickly, has shown encouraging results in Asia and Africa as an organic soil rejuvenator, a source of nutrients for crops.

The orange radiance of these flowers gains impact when grown next to blue flowers such as perennial hyssop ‘Blue Fortune’ (Agastache), Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia), and late flowering, willowy azure sage (Salvia azurea). Annuals are Salvia farinaceae ‘Victoria’ and Peruvian verbena (Verbena bonariensis). All the above also offer food to butterflies, but when Tithonia is in the mix, they seem to migrate to it.

Showy three-inch flowers make for vivid flower arrangements. Plants look best and bloom longer into the fall if deadheaded. Hollow stems have sinewy fibers and resist breaking. You’ll need a shears.

As we head to late fall and winter, the memory of children catching, tagging, and saying farewell to the butterflies, to summer, sooths thoughts of short days to come.

Institute

Therapeutic Healing InstituteCelebrating five years of Integrative Health and Healing

Therapeutic Healing Institute (THI) is meeting the needs of cancer patients who seek more healing oriented approaches

to health. In existence for the past five years, THI has become a premier integrative health resource for Sioux Falls and its surrounding communities. This is the first program of its kind in the area to offer fully developed programs in community awareness, education, and integrative health therapies.

In 2003, the concept of THI was written and founded by Tom

focus committee group was formed and funds were raised to begin offering patient services through THI. In 2004, THI received its nonprofit 501 (c)(3) status. THI has received funding from Avera Race Against Breast Cancer, the Avera Foundation/Community Funds, and Sanford Health Foundation. In addition to the help from the medical community, THI received funding from the South Dakota division of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Individual, corporate, and other local foundations, such as the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation, RRR Elmen Foundation, and the Sheldon F. Reese Foundation, have also played a part, generously making it possible for THI to grow year by year, offering much needed services to cancer patients seeking help in their healing process. Our patient services are thriving and grow significantly each year. THI was able to provide 280 services in 2005, 845 services in 2006, 1680 services in 2007, and 1800 services in 2008.

In addition to these services, in 2008 & 2009 THI has added a Connectiveness Group sponsored by Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The purpose is to promote education thru hands on demonstration/practice. Our goal is to teach and empower cancer patients in their healing process.

Becky Johnson, a licensed therapist with 20 years of experience, facilitates groups and works with individuals one on one.

THI has also partnered with Jill Johnson from The Dharma Room offering Integrative Healing and Recovery. It is a therapeutic

class for cancer patients and their caregivers. This class is sponsored by Dr. Juliann Reiland-Smith of Comprehensive Breast Care, here in Sioux Falls.

This fall, THI has also set up a program with Rod Aukerman, Certified Holistic Health Counselor. These classes will focus on food and lifestyle choices for those who have survived life-threatening illnesses and their families. Food changes everything and Rod is excited to share this information.

The basic principle of integrative medicine is a partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process. The appropriate use of conventional and complementary methods facilitates the innate healing response. Therapeutic Healing Institute (THI) advocates Complementary Integrative Medicine (CIM) and provides integrative health programs as a complete and personal solution that puts patients in the place of empowerment with their own health. We offer a place where we integrate the best models of non-invasive healing methods that bridge different practices and therapies.

Complementary Integrative Medicine (CIM) combines traditional western medicine and complementary approaches and supports but does not replace conventional therapy. It is used for managing symptoms; increasing wellness, quality of life, sense of wellbeing, and improving treatment efficiencies.

For more information on specific therapies and classes please go to our website www.therapeutichealinginstitute.org or call 605-330-9634

“Integrative Health is an individual’s responsibility. By learning and using Mind/Body Therapies, we empower our selves for better health. It is up to you as an individual to learn and maintain this in your daily life. At THI we can help by teaching therapeutic options which can transform your health.”

If you are looking for a unique and seasonal vacation this month, take a trip to Anoka, Minnesota. Voted one of the “Top 5 Places

to Celebrate Halloween in the United States” by Associated Content in September 2009, this historical city is self-claimed to be the “Halloween Capital of the World”. Anoka is believed to be the first city in the country to host one of the first Halloween parades in 1920 after a Halloween committee organized the big event. The main goal was to divert the youngsters from playing Halloween pranks such as setting cows free and tipping over outhouses. The parade included free bags of popcorn, peanuts and candy for the marchers, and ended with a community bonfire. Three years later, New York City held its first official Halloween celebration. Over time, Halloween became a popular holiday in the U.S. and around the world. The United States Congress

officially granted Anoka, Minnesota the title of “Halloween Capital of the World” in 1937, and to this day the city is dedicated to celebrating annually with Halloween-inspired festivities throughout the month of October.

Anoka is located about 20 miles northwest of the Twin Cities, and is full of history, beauty, and tradition. As one of the first places to celebrate Halloween in the United States, the city is serious about its role as the “Capital”. Annual events include wine-tastings, costume parties, concerts, fireworks, home decorating contests, pumpkin carving contests, pumpkin bake-offs, a Gray Ghost 5K run, medallion hunts, ghost tours of haunted locations, and several parades, including the Grand Day Parade, the Light Up the Night Parade, and The Big Parade of The Little People. The only thing that has prevented the big event from happening was World War II in 1942 and 1943. Today, Anoka residents can watch their grandchildren and great grandchildren continue to celebrate the tradition started over 80 years ago.

During the Grand Day Parade, four area high school bands perform as the Mass Band, joined by community organizations, other schools, businesses and churches beginning on Main Street and ending on 5th Avenue. This year the parade takes place on October 31st, along with the Gray Ghost 5K Run and One Mile Fitness Walk. A morning

To add to the Halloween excitement, a number of locations in Anoka, MN are said to be haunted. Among them is Billy’s Bar and Grill, which is said by some to be haunted by a woman’s ghost. The woman is said to have red hair and usually appears in a third floor window. Local residents have named the ghost “Mrs. Jackson”. Billy’s was once the Jackson Hotel, built in the 1800s, is on the National Register of Historic Places and was the scene of Anoka’s first murder. There are also several stories of ghost sightings at the Anoka Ramsey College student lounge, a ghost of a mailman being carried by a camel, and that of a female by Henry Lake.

Ghost tours are offered by the county’s historical society from May through October. Ghosts of Anoka Walking Tours allow spectators to tour downtown Anoka and hear stories of history and unsolved mysteries, like the rocking chair that rocks itself. The “Then and Now” tour includes photos of the past, and includes 15 blocks around Anoka city streets. There is also a brochure available for self-guided tours around the city.

Of course there are other reasons to visit Anoka, MN. Besides the “Ghosts of Anoka” walking tour, the Anoka

Cancer. “When I heard it, I thought, ‘that’s not me. That word doesn’t fit into my life.” But as she stepped into a whirlwind

of appointments and consultations with oncologists and surgeons, LuAnn Neugebauer of Brandon came to terms with the fact that she was indeed among the one in eight women who will experience breast cancer sometime during their lifetimes. “Instead of asking why me, I started asking why not me.”

LuAnn is among a team of “Think Pink” ladies – breast cancer survivors who serve as honorary co-chairs for the annual Avera Race Against Breast Cancer, and also raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of regular screenings.

LuAnn says she, like many women, fell behind on her annual mammography screenings, letting too much time elapse between tests. Although her grandmother had breast cancer, she was diagnosed in her 80s, so that family history didn’t

cause LuAnn to believe she would inherit breast cancer.In March of 2006, at age 49, LuAnn felt a lump in her right

breast while getting dressed for work. Immediately alarm bells went off her in mind. “I just felt sick, but I had volunteered to take on a shift at work and had to go. Maybe that was good because it took my mind off it.” As soon as she got off work, she called the doctor and made an appointment. During her evening workouts, LuAnn was in the habit of walking, but this night, she ran. “I just wanted to run until I couldn’t run anymore.”

Even though she feared the worst, hearing the actual diagnosis still came as a shock. “When they told me, I cried. But after the blow of hearing the news, you have to get everything lined up.” LuAnn relied on support from her fiancé, Randy, her family, friends and especially the power of prayer. “I felt myself as being in God’s hands, and he carried me through it.”

LuAnn’s cancer was invasive in her right breast, meaning that the cancer had started to break through normal breast tissue. Pre-invasive cancer, confined to breast tissues, was detected in her left breast.

Her first line of treatment involved a double mastectomy with reconstruction. Then LuAnn was scheduled for eight rounds of chemotherapy. The invasive tumor was 1.1 cm in size, and her doctor told her that chemotherapy should be considered for a tumor larger than 1 cm.

During her recovery, LuAnn benefited from massage as a complementary therapy, and also support groups which helped her make meaningful connections with other breast cancer survivors. “My circle of friends really grew during this time,” she said.

Just a few weeks after her last chemo treatment on Oct. 3, 2006, LuAnn’s daughter, Natalie, was married on Oct. 28. “She had asked

A breast cancer survivor shares her experience

think pinkme even before I knew I had cancer if I would be her maid of honor.” Although LuAnn would have wanted to have her own hair, eyebrows and eyelashes for the special day, with the help of a styled hairpiece and makeup artistry, she felt confident enough to walk down the aisle.

Just as she viewed her daughter’s wedding day, LuAnn sees every day as a gift – even ordinary days when she’s on the job at the coffee bar at Avera McKennan or at Avera Behavioral Health Center. “My faith was always strong, but it’s so much stronger now. Every day we’re given is to be treasured as a gift from God.”

Based on her experiences, LuAnn advises other women to fear breast cancer enough to get regular screenings, yet realize that life does go on after breast cancer.

During October, Avera McKennan urges every woman to “Think Pink” for breast health. Recommendations

for all women include monthly self-breast exams and annual clinical

breast exams. Women over age 40 should have annual mammograms.

Screenings should begin earlier for women at high risk based on heredity and

other factors. For more information, go to www.AveraThinkPink.org.

With the flu season quickly approaching, it is important to take a few simple steps to stay healthy. And, there are

many preparatory actions you can take to protect the health of you and your family.

“Recommendations to prevent the spread of the novel H1N1 influenza virus among humans include using standard infection control methods. This includes frequent washing of the hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand sanitizers, especially after being out in the public; covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick,” said Dr. Wendell Hoffman, with Sanford Clinic Infectious Disease.

Practicing social distancing can also be an effective precaution

to take in the midst of a flu pandemic. Social distancing means to keep physical distance from each other during disease outbreaks in order to slow the spread of infection.

There are many ways you can practice this strategy, for example, staying at least three feet away from others, not shaking hands or kissing, and avoiding crowds in enclosed spaces (such as buildings) have been studied and are most effective when you also practice good hygiene.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMSAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC), the symptoms of the H1N1 flu are similar to those of

influenza and of influenza-like illness in general.“Symptoms of H1N1 influenza include fever, cough, sore

throat and runny nose most frequently. Body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue additionally may occur. One-fourth of patients also have reported diarrhea and vomiting,” added Hoffman.

WHAT IS A PANDEMIC?Human influenza pandemics occur when novel influenza

viruses arise. The word pandemic is used when a virus has the capability to be disseminated globally because the human host population has little or no immunity to it. It is important to remember that pandemic is a statement of spread and does not necessarily indicate the severity of the illness that the virus causes in individual cases.

Pandemic viruses, such as the H1N1 flu, tend to be transmitted from person to person more easily than typical seasonal influenza viruses are, so it is important to take the necessary precautions, especially since the degree and severity of illness, death, and societal disruption in a pandemic may differ significantly from place to place.

With each passing day, more is learned about the H1N1 virus’s characteristics, spread, symptoms, and outcomes in people of different ages and with different risk factors for influenza complications.

It is almost time for Halloween once again and your kids will want to have a very cool costume. Why don’t you get a

head start, save some money, and make their costume instead of purchasing a pre-packaged one? There are many inspiring things you could put together to create something recognizable and enjoyable for all on Halloween. Here are some ideas for this year to help you save some money and get creative:

Top it off with a toy hard hat and you have a miniature construction worker!

SCARECROWA long flannel shirt and an old pair of jeans are all you need for a scarecrow outfit. Find some straw to attach to the cuffs of the shirt and to a hat. Use an eyebrow pencil to draw a smile and triangle shapes around the eyes. Make a belt from a piece of rope and you are set.

NERDA pair of pants that are too short, a button down shirt, a bow tie, white socks, black shoes and some glasses with dark frames all combine nicely to create the “nerd” effect. Slick back the hair and add masking tape to the center part of the glasses as well.

SUBSTITUTE TEACHERYou may not want to encourage this, but maybe a good costume for an adult would be to start with an appropriate outfit for a teacher, and add things such as a “kick me” sign, spit wads, a paper airplane, and some chalk smudges here and there.

QUEEN OF HEARTSCut out felt hearts and attach them all over a dress. Add a crown for the queen.

Animal and Insect CostumesThis category is very popular with children. Use props you find around the house to accessorize the following costumes:

COWUse a white or brown sweat suit and attach fabric or felt patches

to the material. Add a large bell around the neck and create a tail out of fabric.

SPIDERDress in all black and pin dark pantyhose filled with lightweight material for the eight legs.

Character CostumesROBOTSpray paint a large cardboard box silver and use dryer tubes for the arms and the legs. Cut the top and bottom of the box and add straps across the shoulder area.

SKELETONUse white fabric paint and paint bones on a tighter black outfit.

Other Creative IdeasSome of the best costumes are the ones that are witty and not as popular. Have some fun dressing up your children and explain to them what they are if they don’t completely understand at first. This idea will give people a lot of laughs and some great stories to tell later on. Some ideas include:

TRASH BAGMake holes for the legs and arms in a large garbage bag. After filling it with a material such as newspaper or foam, tie it at the top

and make the exposed skin look dirty.

DICEFind a large box and cut holes for the arms and legs. Paint the box white and draw or paint black dots according to a dice. Have two children be dice and others as the King and Queen of Hearts for a more creative approach to this idea.

GOT MILK?Out of time? This one is quick. Paint on a white mustache and create a sign that says “Got Milk?”

LAUNDRY BASKETTake a round laundry basket and cut a hole in the bottom to fit around the waist. Place old crumpled clothes, towels, an empty box of detergent and some dryer sheets inside the basket.

BUNCH OF GRAPESWear a natural colored bodysuit, leotard, or tighter fitting clothes and attach purple or green balloons all around the body in order to look like a bunch of grapes.

TELEVISIONCut out holes in a large cardboard box for the arms and legs. Draw channel and volume controls on the front and attach milk jug lids for the knobs. Attach an image from a movie or a TV show or have your child draw their favorite on the front. Use pipe cleaners on a headband for antennae.

Making your own accessoriesMakeup can be easy to make with a little cornstarch, cream and

food coloring. Mix together a small amount of cornstarch and cold cream, add a little water and stir. Add the desired color of food coloring and stir until you get the color you would like for your costume. Fake blood can also be made with some corn syrup and red food coloring. Use some pink tissue for the illusion of wounds. This craft could get very messy, so make sure your child (and the area you are working in) is well prepared.

Masks can be a very fun activity for you and your kids. A homemade mask can be created with flour, salt, water, newspaper, and acrylic paint. Using a form such as a balloon or another mask, mix flour and water together until it is a little thinner than glue and add a teaspoon of salt. Stir until most of the lumps are gone. Cut strips of newspaper and tip them into the paste. Apply the strips to the form and smooth each piece to get rid of air bubbles. Do this until the entire form is covered. Wait for the first layer to dry and add at least five more layers, alternating directions, to ensure a durable mask. Add some features such as cardboard, foil or tape to help build areas for painting or detailing as you go. Let the mask dry for at least 24 hours before painting.

Cardboard painted and covered with tinfoil makes great props such as weapons, wands, wings and more.

Shop your local thrift store for more ideas or any clothing that you don’t have around the house to make the costumes.

Using these tips as well as brainstorming some of your own ideas can save you money during Halloween and allow you to have a more personable experience with your children — to create memories to cherish forever.

On a national scale, women are the fastest growing group within our United States Military. With this changing dynamic,

veterans programs are being prepared for the influx of needs related to women’s lives, and a Women Veterans Program manager is a tremendous resource. Someone who devotes her attention towards this task is Charlotte Noonan, the local Women Veterans Program Director. She’s made the concerns of today’s female veterans priority in her worklife, desiring to see the culture of Veteran’s health care recognize differences in serving them. In the next twenty years, the number of women veterans is expected to double, and Sioux Falls is part of this growing trend.

Attention! Attention!


How is the national government attending to women veterans?With the strength women veterans have exhibited while they’ve

been in the military, they’re accustomed to working with confidence while performing their assignments alongside men. Yet there’s a tender side encompassing health care needs, so congress desires medical provisions to be completely competent. Right now they’re directing budgeted funds to facilities that are both “proficient and interested” in women veterans care.

What benefits come from hosting the Womens Veterans Conference?

Our Women Veterans Conference has grown with every event over the past sixteen years we’ve held it. Women enjoy the time to connect with one another, and we offer an extended lunch knowing there will be lots of conversation over the noon hour. Sometimes veterans are able to find someone they knew while in service. This year’s event will be held on Friday, October 9th at 9:00 a.m., near Century Theaters in the Ivy Room, located at 2425 S. Shirley Avenue. Veterans have a question and answer time to ask about different health care options, but after the educational elements are covered, a humorous style show follows.

What have you learned working with women veterans?As I’ve been in this position since March, one of the first things

I did was survey approximately 5,000 women veterans in the surrounding areas, as identified through the US Census. There were several participants who contacted me with questions, and many appreciative of care they’ve received in the past. One of the benefits we have is communicating appropriate preventative care, for example, sending reminders to indicate it’s time for a colonoscopy or pap smear.

Did anything surprise you from your survey?Most veterans who responded found their health care to be

excellent or very good, and this was positive feedback. In meeting their needs, we want to be able to honor them in the service they’ve dedicated to our country. We’re looking at ways to expand for equipment and being competent with the latest technology. There are other facilities that we use for specialty appointments and to cover some appointments of our veterans, such as infertility. The medical center provides a full range of patient care services to eligible veterans in eastern South Dakota, northwestern Iowa, and southwestern Minnesota, in a state-of-the-art facility as well as through education and research.

It only takes a second, a split second for something to go terribly wrong. It can be pet versus car, a fall from the deck, a

dog bite or even a leap from your arms for your pet to be injured. The words, “they have never done that before” have come from me and many of my patients. It was just that one split second.

As pet lovers it is important that we respond appropriately when we see trauma happen to our pets. Good decisions in the first few minutes may mean life or death for your pet. It is also important, to do it in a manner that is safe for us.

When pets are involved in a stressful situation, it is common for them to respond in the “fight or flight syndrome”. It is a survival mechanism where a large amount of adrenaline is released at one time. Their heart rate is rapid, blood pressure high and they will bite at anything, run or even attack under the assumption they need to protect themselves.

If a pet is hit by a car, the first thing to do is safely get them off

Split Second


of the road to avoid a second collision. I prefer to use a large or thick blanket to completely cover them. Make sure that the head is covered so they cannot bite you through the blanket. An alternative method is to use a small leash, rope or even your shoe lace to tie around their mouth as a muzzle, prior to moving them. They are scared, in pain and even the best mannered pet may bite.

If you can find help, get them to the nearest veterinary clinic. There are times everything may seem OK, but it may only be for awhile. Internal bleeding, head trauma and eye trauma may show up hours later. It is always best to have them looked at.

Dog and cat fights happen very frequently. It is difficult because you want to help stop the fight and save your pet. You must be very cautious. It is common for pet owners to be bitten on the hands and arms trying to break up the fight. Even worse, is when a big dog redirects its aggression toward the human and attacks them.

If you are trying to break up an attack, first use as loud of a

voice as you can to shout at them. Do not make eye contact with an aggressive pet, it is a challenge.

Next if you can find something to put between them like a rake, shovel or board it can help. If you have access to water, pour it on them as a distraction.

There are times you can do nothing and it is a terrible feeling. If your pet has been in a fight, it is important to clean the wounds and have them examined by your veterinarian. I worry about punctured lungs, deep infections from the bites and spinal trauma.

If you are bitten, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately. Bite wounds from dogs and cats can become infected very quickly. They are also deeper than you expect.

We cannot live our lives without risk, but we can try to reduce it every day. The simplest advice is to have plenty of leashes and use them.

title“Mr. Soccer” Manfred Szameit

“MR. SOCCER” MANFRED SZAMEIT(1936 - 2003)

Manfred Georg Sigismund Szameit was born in Madüsee, Pomerania, Germany, on September 10, 1936. Three years later, Fuehrer Adolph Hitler ordered Nazi Germany armies to invade Poland. This action greatly worried Manfred’s father Heinrich. Concerned about his family’s safety, Heinrich moved his wife and children to his father’s farm. Fearing that they might be killed by Russian soldiers, they spent several months in hiding. After the war ended, Heinrich made plans for them to escape from Russian-dominated East Germany. Manfred was unaware of his father’s plan until the very night that they left. Hiding by day and walking by night, the small group eventually crossed the border into West Germany. At the age of 12, Manfred experienced freedom for the first time. It was in West Germany where Manfred’s soccer career began, as a goalkeeper for the village of Schöningen.

Eight years later, his family obtained approval to come to the United States. They sailed together for 13 days on a military transport ship with several hundred other immigrants. Sponsored by Vern and Ione Endahl of rural Baltic, Manfred’s first job was as a farmhand on the George Kelly farm near Crooks. Later he served in the U.S. Army for two years on active duty and four years as a reservist. After several years as a dry cleaner, bank teller, and computer programmer, he was appointed Auditor and then Finance Director for the city of Sioux Falls. In 1962, he married Helga Haydl from Zuckmantel, Transylvania, and they became the parents of a daughter, Alexandra, and a son, Hans-Peter.

Manfred loved America. As a naturalized citizen, he embraced the nation’s many freedoms and often publicly praised this country. He volunteered for many charitable events, and his civic memberships and activities led to numerous offices and awards. He was a founder of the German Fest, an all-city celebration commemorating those of German ancestry.

When Manfred came to Sioux Falls, he discovered that the sport of soccer was virtually unknown. He began to promote it as a sport that anyone could play. With his unbridled enthusiasm, he soon became known as “Mr. Soccer.” He had his Volkswagen Beetle painted so that it appeared to be an oversized soccer ball, and the car’s doors were printed with the slogan “Catch the Soccer Bug.” His car soon became his trademark. Today soccer is one of the most popular of the recreational sports in Sioux Falls. Thousands of boys and girls of all ages and proficiencies fill the rosters of hundreds of teams, some playing soccer year-round.
