LIV – Women In BIcycLIngEvents Focus on Building Lifetime RidersBy S.J. Menning • Photos by Tanya Wetzel
With summer in full swing, you’re sure to see more bicycles on the road, on the trails,
and in your neighborhood. Learning to ride a bike is an esteemed right of passage in childhood, and quickly be-comes most any youngster’s preferred mode of transportation. While the bi-cycle tends to take a backseat to driv-ing for many adults, the benefits for cycling in adulthood are exponential, and the popularity of bicycling is sky-rocketing nationwide.
Interest among women is also ris-ing, but they are underrepresented as riders and leaders in the bicycle movement. Mary Jean Prichard, LIV ambassador for the Sioux Falls re-gion, says this gap prompted LIV and Spoke-N-Sport of Sioux Falls to begin hosting events spe-cifically designed for women. “We want to encourage women to ride, introduce them to the benefits of cycling, and help them be comfortable on their bike,” Mary Jean explains.
Spoke-N-Sport’s mission is to eliminate riding barriers. “Cycling has been very male dominated and women just haven’t had the same opportuni-ties for products or experiences,” says Chad Pickard, the store’s owner. “We want to change that and give women a place and voice in the cycling community.”
As the premier, women-focused bicycling company in the US, LIV promotes women cycling in all forms, from professional to casual, and employs women throughout all levels of the organization, including women engineers and corporate officers. In short, LIV’s products are designed by women, for women.
SIOUXFALLSWOMAN• june/ ju l y 2015 2 1
Mary Jean’s passion for cycling is evident in the events she helps to or-chestrate. In addition to leading rides in Sioux Falls, she coordinates the Spoke-N-Sport sponsored activities for women each month, so women can learn, share and support each other.
Past events have included indoor combinations of spinning and yoga; educational maintenance, repair, and safety assistance; and a women’s-only open house showcasing products, en-tertainment, and hors d’oeuvres. Future events include classes that teach traf-fic safety, shifting, braking, and cycling techniques; a LIV product demo truck with factory representatives available; and a scenic ride to Calico Skies Win-ery and a wine-tasting event for riders age 21 and older. Women under age 21 are still invited to ride.
“The events are open to women of all ages, and riders of all levels are en-couraged to attend,” Mary Jean says. “We want to encourage bicycling for all women. It doesn’t matter where your bike came from—or if you even have a bike at all, as Spoke-N-Sport will provide bikes and helmets for those who need it.” There is no cost to attend, though some events do require registration in advance because space may be limited.

After 19 years organizing J&L Harley-Davidson’s popular Hot Harley Nights, Char Roth says seeing “wish kids”
come back to volunteer at the event is something she truly enjoys.
“It takes more than 500 volunteers to make this weekend happen,” she says of the Make-A-Wish® fundraiser. “And what’s really great is that it heightens the awareness of Make-A-Wish.”
The charity event has amassed a 19-year donation total to Make-A-Wish
South Dakota of more than $2 million.“The first year we did it, we had
250 people and raised $3,200, and we thought we were going gangbusters,” laughs Char, J&L’s chief financial of-ficer.
Paul Krueger, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish South Dakota, says do-nation totals aside, the event’s impact is tough to quantify. “We know that the event has a huge impact not only in terms of dollars but also in terms of awareness.”
As a chartered chapter of the na-tional Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America, the South Dakota nonprofit grants the wishes of children from age 2½ to 18 who have been diagnosed with life-threatening medical condi-tions. The average cost of a wish is nearly $7,000.
Paul adds, “We are just amazed by this event and its support and how it has grown over the years.”
And Char hopes this year’s 20th an-niversary event in July will be no excep-tion. “Everyone loves an anniversary,” she says.

Organizers expect about 1,500 rid-ers for the Saturday afternoon casino run and 4,000 to 5,000 riders for that night’s motorcycle parade from the J&L dealership through downtown.
“We had three goals when we start-ed this event: to give our customers a reason to ride, to help a great cause and to showcase the city of Sioux Falls,” Char says.
Two decades later, the J&L event continues to do just that.
“We are so grateful for the support we’ve had from the community, our sponsors and the riders,” she says.
In addition to building awareness for Make-A-Wish, Char says Hot Harley Nights has grown into an event for anyone, whether they ride a motor-cycle or not.
Thursday’s family night at J&L includes food, vendors and fun for all ages. The weekend’s silent auction includes jewelry, restaurant gift cards, clothing and concert tickets. Live mu-sic will be featured Friday night and Saturday afternoon at the dealership, and premier tribute band Arch Allies will perform Saturday night in the downtown event area. Other events include a motorcycle show, a live auc-tion, a motorcycle raffle and a pancake feed.
A volunteer wish-granter herself, Char adds, “Having seen what a wish can do for a family, it’s remarkable. We’re grateful for the staying power this event has had.” sfw

From Ultra Feminine to TailoredBy Brianna Venekamp
Like a gentle breeze refreshes you on a hot summer day, let these ultra feminine trends reju-venate your wardrobe!
Boho EverywhereDitch your miniskirts and tank tops for something more romantic and comfortable. Look
for soft, floor-sweeping dresses in hippie styles with some sort of twist.
Fresh FloralsBig, bold and unabashedly feminine, this year’s florals are textured, bright and modern.
Lace, Fringe and Sheer Fabrics Sheer fabrics add feminine pizzazz to tops and dresses, while lace is the epitome of feminin-
ity. Look for fringe to accent dresses and skirts in a slightly understated fashion.
Gingham Gingham is a bold look designers are utilizing with mini-dresses, crop tops, power suits and
shorts.
Androgynous TailoringAmong all these feminine silhouettes, an androgynous tailoring emerges strong and sleek-
looking. Masculine influences have rarely presented themselves so polished and sophisticated. With sleek and simple minimalistic lines, you’ll see designers begin to move away from skin-tight dresses.

The Versatility of ‘Messy’ Styles By Brianna Venekamp
Whether it’s an untamed ponytail, loose curls or punkish pixie, part of the popularity of the “messy” look is how it can work with any length or type of hair.
Boho WAvESMessy bohemian-style waves, with a loosely centered or side part, look relaxed and
causal on long and medium length hair.
BrAidS, TWiSTS And PonYTAiLSA swept up French twist, with strands randomly pulled out,
a waterfall braid wrapped around the crown of the head and drawn into a messy knot, or a ponytail with lots of flyaway strands are just a few of the many options for longer hair.
PixiES And UndErcUT STYLESWhether you choose to have long bangs blending in with
closely cut sides, lots of layers throughout the top with wispy bangs, or shaved sides and layers on top, the cuts all look eye-catching when styled in messy, punkish ways.
While the “messy” look can seem effortlessness, in reality, all styles require a certain level of maintenance to achieve, but the versatility of this trend makes it easy and fun to try.

Spread out a 12” x 12” sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place a trout fillet on the foil. Sprinkle fish with 1 tsp. chopped garlic, a few pea-size pieces of butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cut lemon into wedges and squeeze the juice from one wedge onto the fish. Fold the foil into an envelope-like packet. Be sure all the edges are sealed to keep in the steam as fish cooks. Place the packet on the grill or onto a bed of hot coals. Cook about 8 minutes, turning every three min-utes. Serve with remaining lemon wedges. – The Outdoor Campus Fish Cooking Class

Wearing a sunbonnet might not be your style, but if you’re attending one of the nearby Laura Ingalls Wilder pageants, you might want
to wear one—just to fit in with the crowd.Nearby DeSmet, South Dakota, and Walnut
Grove, Minnesota, host two of the four Laura Ingalls Wilder pageants held in the United States to cel-ebrate the much-loved pioneer girl author.
Sarah Uthoff, a Laura In-galls Wilder expert and Iowa librarian, does presentations on the author throughout the country and has at-tended the pageants multiple times. She says, “The DeS-met pageant is more like you’re eavesdropping on the Ingalls family with their unique sets that are buildings where the front wall swings forward. They also rotate through all the books that are set there. Walnut Grove covers a very specific period of the In-galls family life from when the Ingallses first arrive in Walnut Grove until they leave for the final time.”

Walnut Grove’s set also includes a buried gas line that sweeps across the performance area like a burning prai-rie, real horses that bring the actors to the set in a wagon and stages built on railroad cars. “They can bring the sets forward and back and rotate them 180 degrees, so when a scene is set in-side the house, you see the inside, and when a scene is set outside, you see the outside,” Sarah says.
DeSmet’s pageant has been en-tertaining audiences since 1955. The 2015 pageant, titled By the Shores of Silver Lake, is a family-friendly drama that brings together more than a hun-dred volunteers to take visitors back to when the West was opening to pio-neering men and women. Guests are invited to bring a lawn chair or blanket for the show and rest on the real prai-rie where Laura and her family lived.
Lisa Petersen recently moved from Sioux Falls back to her hometown of DeSmet, partly because of her love for the pageant’s history. She was Laura in the play when she was younger, and her daughter, 14, currently works as a tour guide at the homesite. They love to entertain the visitors from all over the world who come to see the little house on the prairie.
“I really think it’s the moms and a few dads who read the books in the past and are introducing and read-ing the books to their kids,” Lisa says. DeSmet residents love the pageant and the visitors so much that each week the newspaper dedicates a col-umn to how many visitors come from each state and country.
See what it was really like on the prairie in the late 1800s at DeSmet or Walnut Grove this summer. sfw

Warm summer temperatures can inspire most any driver to take a joyride. Without the impeding winter elements of snow and ice this time of year, women often find that driving becomes a much
more pleasant pastime. These sporty models will tempt even the most refined driver, yet the vehicles are stylish and versatile enough for any classy lady.
2015 Ford Mustang GT
By name alone, drivers know that a Ford Mustang is built for performance. A new independent rear sus-pension greatly enriches the driving experience, while a 5.0-liter V8 engine bridles 435 horsepower. The Mustang achieves 400 foot-pounds of torque that thrusts the vehicle from zero to 60 in a competitive 4.7 seconds.

The BMW M235i convert-ible should be basking in celebrity status. With a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the M235i boasts an impressive 320 horsepower and 330 foot-pounds of torque. Gals in a rush will appreciate the convert-ible’s ability to get from zero to 60 in a mere 4.5 seconds.

Powerful is the Mercedes AMG GLA45. Enhancements in the turbo, injection system and exhaust result in 332 foot-pounds of torque that propels the GLA45 from zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds. Great styling seems to be purely cosmetic, until further examination reveals several aerodynamic touches that improve performance.

The sporty version of the Ford Focus is the Focus ST. New front and rear styling sets the vehicle apart from the crowd, while a steering compensation feature minimizes the influence of engine torque on steering. A four-cylinder engine reins in 252 horsepower, boosting the ST from zero to 60 in 6.6 seconds. sfw
summer is a great time to get out and do what you love, whether it’s running, biking, swimming or motorcycling. But for individuals with vision prob-
lems, enjoying a favorite activity is challenging. For Lori Dykstra’s son, swimming was terrify-ing. “We were so excited to try the prescription swim goggles for our 6-year-old son, Dylan. He was afraid to go underwater and said he felt like he didn’t know which way was up. After trying the swim goggles recommended by 20/20 Eye Candy, Dylan is no longer afraid of being under-water and even learned to swim last year. He now loves the water and cannot wait to get in the pool this summer. Thank you, Eye Candy, for looking out for what is most important to my child and allowing him to just do the things all kids want to do!”

CabinFever
soon had their eye on a 1960s fixer-upper cabin. “We knew go-ing in that it was going to be a complete remodel,” Nancy says. “We’re just glad that we didn’t need to live in it while it was being renovated.” Having purchased the two-bedroom, ranch-style home in 2008, the Gorders went right to work, giving the entire upper and lower levels a full face-lift. They also did ex-tensive work to the exterior wrap-around deck and landscaping. But it’s the beachy feel of the decor matched by the expansive windows overlooking the water that truly make this cabin a haven for relaxation.
When not working on the family farm, the Gorder family takes every opportunity to make the quick jaunt to Lake Cochrane to spend time in their newly renovated lake-
side cabin and guesthouse. Located near Gary, South Dakota, this small lake is a hot spot for locals with its calming breezes, spring-fed waters and dense fish population. With their two children, the family of four had already owned a modest cabin and enjoyed spending many summers by the lake. But with a growing family and a love for decorating, Nancy and Mark

Cutting no corners on exquisite detail yet maximizing space, the
main area remains open, relying on fur-niture placement to add separation. The kitchen is quaint but utilizes glass ob-long mosaic tile in retro tones on choco-late brown, taupe and olive green to add drama to an accent wall and backsplash. Coordinating granite countertops from Syverson Tile & Stone feature a myriad of earth tones that blend with the rustic feel of the knotty alder cabinets. Stain-less-steel appliances partner with the sil-ver hardware and sink. A window above the sink allows for plenty of sunlight to fill the small space and remains under-stated with white wood blinds and floral top treatment. The Douglas fir floors are original to the home and have been me-ticulously restored for a nostalgic, cabin-living feel. Because space is limited, the Gorders chose neutral taupe colors for the walls and added large windows for ample sunlight. A small peninsula off the kitchen features additional granite coun-tertops with bar stools for casual eating and entertaining. When the family does decide to sit down for a meal, the dining area features a large wood-stained table with high-back chairs. The large windows and patio doors are once again simply adorned with wood blinds for privacy and stationary fabric side panels to soften.
The cabin’s main-floor family room is anchored by a large corner gas fireplace, which is surrounded by cobbled stone. “I really wanted a relaxed, beachy feel with a twist of modern,” Nancy says. To add interest, she selected a large chevron-pat-tern area rug in aqua and olive tones set off by a round wicker ottoman that also serves as a coffee table. The larger uphol-stered pieces remain neutral but are set off with accent chairs, bright accessories and patterned pillows. A large flat-screen television is mounted above the fireplace, making it a prime gathering spot for the family and guests when not taking advan-tage of the large, uncovered deck over-looking the lake.

Bringing your unique ideas to life
The wood floors extend down the hall and into the main-level master bed-room. Cream walls and dual windows are given colorful design flair with custom triangular top treatments. Crisp white trim is a subtle contrast to the neutral tones but adds to the overall lakeside liv-ing feel. The main bath takes a design turn with a wall of Douglas fir floor planks turned to the back-side to showcase the large grooves. “We decided to keep this because it was a unique feature of the home,” Nancy says. “Even though the bathroom and bedroom are small, this was a typical home of that era and it’s been adapted well for our needs because it’s low maintenance and economical to heat and cool.” A corner shower, white pedestal sink and coordinating white cabinets complete the space.
An aqua accent wall leads down to the lower level. The Gorders chose to stain the concrete floors in butter yellow and keep the cinder-block walls exposed. “We like how it looked this way,” Mark shares. “And it complements the ceiling, which is essentially the backside of the upper level floors.” Forgoing sheetrock and flooring proved to be a success. The area is unique, casual and perfect for adding dramatic accent pieces, such as

metallic artwork and accessories. Natural leath-er furniture keeps things comfortable while a full dining room table is nestled in the small kitchenette space. With direct access to the lake, a wall of windows and sliding patio doors provide access to a covered, paver patio finished with outdoor furniture. Large boulders serve as a retaining wall, a feature the Gorders appre-ciated was already in place when they moved in. An additional lower-level guest bedroom completes the home and serves overnight guests and family. Its creamy walls are accented with pine furniture and tones of red.
After four years of living in their renovated home, the Gorders then decided to build a ga-rage and upper-level guest suite. Once again, Nancy took on the design challenge and cre-ated the perfect companion to the main cabin. The ground level features a spacious garage that is fully heated, air-conditioned and finished off with stained concrete floors and a kitchenette.

Once inside, the crisp hues, vaulted ceilings and natural sunlight flood the open-concept living space. The kitchen takes cues from the past with white subway tiles that blend with the white-washed floors, trim and cabinets. “This area is perfect for when we have our children over,” Nancy says. A casual din-ing space and granite countertops allow for plenty of workspace. “We didn’t plan this,” Mark says. “But when you look out the front windows, you can see over our original cabin and get a great view of the lake,” he says with a slight grin. The sur-prise view is appreciated by guests.
Tall, vaulted ceilings take on a shabby chic look with gleaming white car siding that is the perfect contrast to the bright, sunny yellow walls. A central living space features coordinating tones of aqua and olive and the addition of bright orange to add interest. A shag area rug and sandy toned upholstery soften the wood floors and brick accents on the gas fireplace. A simple gauzy drape hung on a wire leads to the master suite and bathroom where sandy toned walls and white-washed floors keep the space bright and open. Nancy decided to go bold with a wainscoted accent wall painted with wide stripes. A bright turquoise leather headboard stands out and gives the bed’s

bold tones of bright aqua and orange a companion. A built-in window seat is the perfect reading space with a custom upholstered turquoise seat cushion.
The guest master bathroom is a spacious room filled with top-grade finishes such as a large Jacuzzi tub, green glass mosaic tile and white tiled floors—treating guests to beauty and amenities. A driftwood mirror, bright yellow accent ceiling and ornate tile inlays introduce color to the neutral palette.
Despite a love for decorating, Nancy says they don’t have any projects in mind for the near future. She simply says, “Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy our retreat.” sfw

Whether you’re looking to stop traffic or simply spruce things up, adding curb appeal to your home is a great way to transform the look of your house and add value. From easy, do-it-
yourself modifications to complete construction overhauls, treat your front entrance to a makeover. After all, you have only one chance to make a first impression.
Simple SlatherOne of the
fastest and cheapest ways to add appeal is paint. Look for ways to add con-trast and inter-est using color in various places
on the front of your home. Key areas to highlight are columns, shutters, window boxes and, the most obvious, the front door. When deciding on a color, take existing tones into consideration but don’t be afraid to travel to the other end of the spectrum. In fact, black is a great accent color. It adds instant interest to a

variety of palettes and is a sneaky way to cover up unattractive poles, beams or boxes (just be sure not to paint utility boxes or meters). And if painting isn’t your favorite, opt to just add drama to your door. A hint of hue can be just what the front of your home is craving for year-round beauty.
Exterior ElementsAnother great
way to put the focus on the front of your home is by purchas-ing decorative ele-ments. Avoid a “flea market” feel and opt for larger and fewer pieces when selecting items. Front porches look great dressed up with wrought-iron pieces or distressed-wood furniture. And don’t forget lighting for after-hours appeal. Replace outdated light fixtures for an easy solution that can instantly update or transform the look of your home and landscaping. Most lighting galleries and hardware stores offer exterior lights in “families” so homeowners can easily coordinate all their fixtures to ensure the finish, size and style blend.

Budding BeautyNothing dresses up a home quite
like plants, shrubs and trees. Even though this look is somewhat con-fined to the warmer months, it’s still well worth it. And the best part, you can easily control how much you in-vest. For front porches, consider hang-ing plants for a traditional look. Dress up your entryway with a large urn or spruce up your steps with smaller pots filled with annuals. Tip: turn your pots into year-round beauty by replacing live flowers with sprigs of pine, col-orful branches and pine cones during winter months.
outside overhaulWhether it’s bringing your home
into the right decade or starting from scratch, kick things up notch with these construction tips. First, consid-er replacing your garage door with a new carriage-style look that features wrought-iron accents. After all, your garage door is a large portion of your home’s front exposure. Sometimes you can modify existing garage doors with handles, windows and hardware for a quick update. Homeowners can also sway away from basic wood and vinyl siding and opt for stone accents. The natural look of stone is great when used on lower portions of front siding or as an accent on columns and around doorways. Depending on budget, con-sider adding copper roof shingles or sheets to bump outs and bay windows.
From flowers to stone, lighting to garage doors, have fun when taking on curb-appeal projects. Your home will not only make a good first impression, but also will leave a lasting one. sfw

ear infections are painful and often very frus-trating. Because they happen so
frequently, especially in infants, and there is no magic preventive medi-cine, people find themselves frequenting health clinics and some-times undergoing surgical procedures. However, it is important to understand just why the ear is such a catalyst for in-fections and how new discoveries about allergies can play a part in prevention.
Dr. Daniel Todd, an ear, nose and throat allergist with Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat in Sioux Falls, has two decades of experience working with allergies and ear infections. “Ear infections are especially prevalent in infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years of age, and it’s usually due to a poorly functioning

Eustachian tube, which ven-tilates the middle ear into the nose,” he says. When a tube becomes clogged or blocked, the area transforms itself into the perfect breeding ground for germs, which can cause a pain-ful infection. “Viruses, irritants like second-hand smoke and al-lergies often contribute to this Eustachian tube dysfunction,” Dr. Todd adds.
Thanks to new findings, doctors can offer some relief through allergy testing. “In very young children, allergies and sensitivities are most likely due to foods and airborne inhalants such as pet dander, dust mites and pollens,” he says.
To approach allergy test-ing, consult with your doctor to see what route is best for you or your child. Skin testing and blood testing are available at Midwest Ear Nose and Throat. “It’s amazing how many chil-dren have fewer ear infections just by eliminating a food,” Dr. Todd says. The biggest culprit is basic cow’s milk. Soy milk and almond milk are possible alter-natives, but he adds that they also can cause allergies.
Other food-related al-lergies are more difficult to track down, Dr. Todd says. “Our complex and processed diets are a major factor. I can’t tell you the number of children and adults whose ear infections have improved by eliminating dairy and gluten from their di-ets.” For infants, he suggests switching to hypoallergenic for-mula.
The best news is that time is on your side and ear infections often don’t cause long-term damage. Dr. Todd says most food allergies and sensitivities tend to get better and can even disappear as people get older. So if you’re faced with chronic ear infections, be sure to take aller-gies into consideration before rushing for antibiotics. sfw

In medicine, the field of genetics is rap-idly changing. Are you at risk
SFWhealth
for breast cancer? What medications will work best for you? These are questions that genetic testing can answer today. And as this new and exciting field con-tinues to evolve, the possibilities continue to grow.
Genetic testing can be used to confirm a suspected illness, predict the possibil-ity of future illness or determine if family members are at risk for certain conditions such as cancer.
“We have 20,000 genes in our cells, and genetic tests are now avail-
able for a growing list of med-ical disorders,” says Kayla York, MS, LCGC, and Certified Genetic Coun-selor with Avera Cancer Institute Sioux Falls.
Genetic testing can’t detect every type of can-cer or condition. Some of the more common tests include testing for the BRCA and Lynch syndrome genes, which both can indicate a high-er risk of certain
cancers.
unLockIng secrets oF genomIc scIencePrescription for Good Health Might be in Your GenesBy Kelly Thurman, for Avera Health
As genetic testing evolves, genetic counseling is becoming an important piece of the puzzle in helping patients not only determine whether the test is right for them, but also how to inter-pret the information once they have it.
The first step of genetic counseling is simply a conversation about family history and genetics. “We draw out a family history, and try to determine what the chances are that we would see a genetic mutation in a particular patient,” York says.
In working with patients, York says part of the conversation includes a discussion of the pros and cons. “Not everyone wants to know. For some people, knowing that there’s a genetic link would cause more anxiety. Yet for others, they can take that informa-tion and use it to be more proactive through increased cancer screening or additional surgeries.”
Many genetic tests are now covered by health insurance, but because the field is constantly evolving, it’s best to check with your insurance company before you have genetic testing done.
Patients also should discuss the possible benefits of genetic testing with their physician. Through what’s known as pharmacogenomics, genetic information can be used to prescribe the best possible medications, rather than a trial-and-error approach.
“Personalized medicine is a term which describes the use of genetic analysis to better manage a patient’s disease. For example, through a genet-ic analysis, we can take a ‘snapshot’ of how the liver metabolizes medication,” says Gareth Davies, PhD, and Chief Scientific Officer with Avera Institute for Human Genetics.
Based on the enzymes in the liver, certain drugs aren’t metabolized well, while other drugs are metabolized too quickly to be effective. “For instance, a genomic analysis can tell us whether you metabolize ibuprofen better—or Vicodin,” Dr. Davies says. “This par-ticular approach is being used today to help determine the best drugs in specialties such as pain management, behavioral health and cancer. The pos-sibilities for the future are amazing.”

Whether it’s our New Year’s resolution or our Monday goal, we’ve all made prom-ises to ourselves to improve
our daily health habits. For some, it’s about eating better, for others it might be reducing stress or it might be getting more exercise. We know we should get started, but what is it that holds us back?
The answer is simple: it’s our choices. According to research, the way we age is determined 30 percent by our genetics and 70 percent by our daily lifestyle choices. And if you are looking to make a change in those lifestyle habits, it can take three to six months for them to stick. It is during this time period when “things” start getting in the way. It is important to develop strategies to help get you through those moments of weakness and help you stick with your goal.
• First, ask yourself some questions. What are you working to achieve? Why do you want to achieve it? What is your motivator to achieve this goal? Do you need more information?
• What is your action plan? This plan should include small steps you can achieve. Don’t try to climb Mount Everest in a day. If your ultimate goal is to exercise five times a week, try two times a week at first and gradually work up to your goal.

These are common reasons people stop before or soon after they start. It takes time and effort to sort through this strategy, but the effort will help ensure you’ll keep going once you’ve started. What are you going to do when time is your excuse to not exercise? What are you going to do when you eat something on your “do not eat” list? If you fail one day, how are you going to assure you get back up and keep going?
• HaveASupportNetwork It will keep you going when you need encouragement and a “can do” voice. This can be a friend, a family member or a professional healthy lifestyle coach.
• Celebrate! Reaching milestones along the way is something to be proud of. What will you do to celebrate as you get through the first week or the first month?

Advances in modern medicine are astounding, yet many people continue to live with treatable chronic health issues. Louis Harmon endured painful, swollen legs before finally seeking treatment for varicose veins.
“By the end of the day, I was much more tired and I had a con-stant, dull pain.” He says showing his legs in public was an issue too: “I didn’t wear shorts very much because I was concerned with my appearance. You could always see a ring at the top of my socks because my legs were swollen so badly.”
Louis’ wife, Sandra, was concerned about her husband. “I worried about him because even though my husband is not a

complainer, I could see the swelling was bad.” Compelled to help her husband, Sandra explains how she took matters into her own hands. “I did what any loving wife would do to help her husband. I made the appointment and didn’t tell him for two days.”
Thankfully, Louis kept the appointment at Physicians Vein Clinics. He was overjoyed with his experience and feels fortu-nate to have met Dr. Lornell Hansen and his staff. “They did a very good job of explaining what the procedure would be each time and what was happening during the procedure, which put me at ease,” Louis says. “They explained the benefits of the treat-
SIOUXFALLSWOMAN• june/ ju l y 2015 8 3
ments and answered any and all of my questions. I could not have asked for a better team or treatment.”
The experience has been life-changing. He adds: “My legs are much lighter now and less swollen than be-fore.” Sandra shares that Louis is less self-conscious. “We love to golf. So now I’m having fun shopping for new shorts and even golf sandals for my wonderful husband. What more could a girl ask for?” she says.
Realizing that many other men and women are dealing with issues related to varicose veins, Sandra en-courages people to seek help. “Don’t wait. When we heard Dr. Hansen explain this new treatment and met his professional staff, we knew it was right and so was the timing.” Lou-is agrees, saying, “I would recom-mend treatment ASAP because it has changed my life and self-worth. I’m much happier and healthier.” For more information on the treat-ment of varicose veins or a free vein screening, contact Physicians Clin-ics at 1-800-Vein-Doc (834-6362) or visit physiciansveinclinics.com

“If I had to describe my feelings regarding our Labs for Liberty project in one word, it would be gratitude. Gratitude to the veterans for their service, and gratitude to the veterans for opening their hearts and lives to me.” ~ Joan Nold, Labs for Liberty founder
UUpon meeting Joan Nold, it’s obvious she’s not only smart, but a force to reckon with as well. Direct but personable, she’s used to making things happen and committing herself to doing it first class. Having grown up as the sixth child in a family of eight, she had two qualities ingrained in her throughout her upbringing. The first is that serving others is not an option, but a duty, and the sec-ond is to share love and respect for animals and the outdoors. It is undoubtedly that grit and determination that has led her down the path to start the nonprofit Labs for Liberty at her own expense.
Her father, Bob Hardwick, served in state law enforcement, and as the Hughes County civil defense director, the Hughes Coun-ty fire chief and a Pierre volunteer firefighter. Her mother, also
named Joan, was very civic-minded as are her brothers and sisters: Bob, Marcella, Melinda, Jacki, Jim, Teri, and Mark, all who went on to serve people in their community in one way or another.
As a young girl, Joan was always determined to serve a higher calling. At 12 years old, she became the youngest emergency medical technician in South Dakota. “My oldest brother, Bob, owned the Pierre Ambulance service for over 20 years and I worked with him as I was growing up.” Today, Joan is happily married to Roger Nold, has lovingly raised two ac-complished children, Zachary and Jacob, has excelled professionally as a physician, and heads up Labs for
Liberty, which supports military service members.

Working as a board-certi-fied neonatologist, she specializes in caring for
newborn, sick and premature babies. Joan notes, “Growing up in a family commit-ted to community service and my early exposure to emergency medicine planted the seed of desire to practice medicine. Though initially I tried to follow the path of my primary hobby, working with hors-es, I quickly realized I would not be satis-fied professionally unless my career path was in medicine. My personality lends itself to working in intense and demand-ing situations. Coupled with my inter-est in physiology and love of children, neonatology was the obvious choice for me professionally. I truly wake up every morning looking forward to my work. It is challenging, rewarding, and truly a blessing to care for peoples’ babies at this critical time in their lives.”
In addition to being passionate about her role as a physician, she is grateful that it has given her the ability to financially support Labs for Liberty, which provides Labrador retriever service dogs for veter-ans who are challenged either from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or have sustained physical disabilities. Joan took up her mission because of the disturbing statistics surrounding veterans returning from military operations, including the fact that 22 veterans commit suicide every day and 1 out of 4 veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq suffers from PTSD. With her love and belief in the healing power of animal companionship, she knew that Labs for Liberty could be her way to help.
She shares, “Our sons were grown and gone from home and I needed a mission to fill my time. After our son Zachary joined the Army Reserves in Psychologi-cal Operations, and reading several books including “Lone Survivor,” “The Heart and the Fist,” “Memoirs from Babylon,” and “Fearless: The story of Adam Brown,” I knew I wanted to spend my spare time serving those who had served our country. Having worked with animals my entire life and recognizing the unique ability of service dogs to help veterans heal, I chose to begin training Labrador retrievers as service dogs for veterans.”

To date, the organization has gifted five dogs to veter-ans and has 12 puppies in training. A message Joan received from a veteran in Missouri who is a recipi-
ent of a service dog clearly illustrates for her why she continues her mission: “I had a difficult night last night. I awoke as usual with troubling thoughts and memories. As I became more awake and aware, I realized that Samson was lying up next to me with his face next to mine. All my troubles went away and I loved on Samson. He is my ‘guardian angel ’ and faithful friend. Thank you so much.”
What makes a Labs for Liberty dog differ-ent from other service dogs is that each puppy is earmarked and trained for a specific veteran and his or her needs. The selection and pairing process includes: • Identification of the recipient veteran • Identification of the recipient’s needs • Selection of puppy based on recipient’s needs • Train puppy basic obedience, commands and initial service tasks • Pair recipient with puppy after initial training is complete • Observe pairing • Bring recipient and puppy to Liberty Outpost for final task training
Puppies are trained from 8-weeks-old to meet the veteran’s specific needs, including placing them in a similar environment to what they will eventually be working in. In addition to be-ing trained as a service dog, the dogs are also selected for their hunting prowess to serve as a companion for veterans who find healing through hunting and outdoor activities.

According to Joan, “Recognizing the benefit of service dogs for veterans with PTSD and physical disabilities, as well as the incredible need for these dogs, I knew I could serve our veterans by providing such dogs. We chose to train Labrador retriever puppies for a number of reasons. First, we know labs are devoted, intelligent and intuitive, and we knew a number of veterans personally who were hunters or outdoorsmen. We believe providing a service dog who can also be their hunting or outdoors companion will further aid their healing by being able to accompany them in these activities.”
She continues, “Research has shown that both service dogs and outdoors activities provide benefit for those suffering from PTSD. For those with physical disabilities, a Labrador retriever service dog can provide them with improved mobil-ity to participate in outdoors activities. Finally, we knew that Labs for Liberty would provide service Labradors at no cost to our veterans. We believe they have paid enough in parts of their heart, soul, and physical and mental well-being. It is our duty and honor to repay them with a custom-trained service Labrador.”
Currently working on procuring financial stability to con-tinue the mission of Labs for Liberty, Joan has enlisted the aid of several family members, including her sister Teri Todd, who is a veterinarian in Harrisburg who provides care for the labs in training, and her son Jacob, who is director of philan-thropy. In addition, she and her board are looking for ways to raise funding and awareness to continue the mission. To this end, Labs for Liberty has several sponsorship opportunities for both businesses and individuals, including the Penny Per Program, which allows businesses to contribute one penny per sale of a chosen product to contribute to Labs for Liberty.
“Up to this point, we have primarily funded the entire project out of our own pocket. All labor is volunteered and the services provided to the veterans are free. As there is such a tremendous need and we see requests for custom-trained service dogs growing, our greatest challenge will be funding. We intend to keep all labor/training volunteer, but will have to address costs of pup acquisition, veterinary costs, food, equipment, and veteran travel.”
And as much as a mission as Labs for Liberty is for Joan, she is grateful that she has the support and backing of her family in this passion to help veterans in need. She shares, “I am blessed to not only have my husband and sons actively involved in Labs for Liber-ty but to have the support and involvement of my ex-tended family. It is incred-ibly satisfying to be able to work together toward a common goal, sharing in what have been life-changing experiences not only for the veter-ans, but most definitely for us as well.”

guIdIng tHrougH Words And exAmpLeFitness Trainer Jane Grieme Helps Others Reach GoalsBy Darcie Bontje • Photos by Julie Prairie Photography
In life’s defining moments, there often is a voice guiding the way.
For fitness trainer Jane Grieme, direc-tion comes from within. “It’s always been me
against me,” she says. “It’s not about me looking better than the person next to me. It’s me knowing what my ability is and what my potential is and pushing myself beyond that and through that.”
The 31-year-old, who grew up in Brandon and was home-schooled along with her four siblings, participated in individual sports such as taekwon-do, horse training and dance when she was young.
“That can be a bad thing,” she laughs. “Don’t throw a ball at me because I can’t catch.” However, she says, those experiences “helped me really get to know me.”
At age 16, Jane discovered the gym. “I fell in love with fitness,” she says. She has a bachelor’s degree in Health, Physical Education and Rec-reation with minors in Nutrition and Psychology from South Dakota State University. And today, she is a trainer at Complete Fitness in Sioux Falls.
9 4 SIOUXFALLSWOMAN• j une/ ju l y 2015
Her work puts her in the position of being that guiding voice for her clients. “A lot of people don’t know their poten-tial,” she says. “That’s what excites me about being a trainer is to be that person for others—to tell them, ‘You can do this.’”
The training regimen she teaches at Complete Fitness com-bines exercise and nutrition. “So many people have done only one component or the other,” she says. “We teach simple meal plans and get people in and teach them how to work out right.”
Jane also keeps expanding her ex-pertise. She has done kickboxing, ultimate fighting, yoga, fitness com-petitions and pag-eants. “I push my-self to learn a lot of different aspects of fitness and bring that to my clients,” she says. Upcoming, she plans to com-pete in a Fitness America event as well as the Mrs. South Dakota contest.
Jane also was a member of the Air National Guard for six years, achieving the rank of staff sergeant and Air Force fitness specialist. Her dad and her husband served in the military as well. “It was another situation where I wanted to know if I could do it. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it,” she says.
Because of her hard work, accolades have come her way. She has been featured in Oxygen Magazine, Strong Fitness Maga-zine, and as military member of the month on Bodybuilding.com.
As she reflects, she says her guiding voice has been strength-ened by her faith. “It all boils down to what you take respon-sibility for on your own. For me, it’s all about Christ. He is my rock. And when you help others reach their goals, you reap benefits beyond what you can imagine.”
People often don’t hear words of encouragement in their everyday lives, Jane says. “Most of us don’t get pushed to pursue life in a bigger way. The power of helping people live better is so exciting. I get fired up about it.” sfw

“I never measured success by wins or the number of years in a convic-tion,” says new Judge Crystal Johnson of her tenure with the State’s At-torney’s Office, “but rather by how many children and families found the help they needed to overcome this unimaginable trauma.”

It’s a crime that nightmares are made of; for children and parents alike. One that Crystal has faced daily the past four years as a prosecutor with the State’s Attorney’s Office, spe-cializing in crimes against children. “It’s one of the most hei-nous crimes a human being can commit,” she says. “There is no sentencing term long enough that can take away the pain and suffering the child victims and their families will face for the rest of their lives.” While Crystal has remained focused on bringing charges against the perpetrators, she has found the most reward in seeing families find resolution and learn coping strategies for the future.
A trade traditionally dominated by men, the Minnehaha County State’s Attorney’s Office is home to 26 attorneys, of which 12 are women. Crystal says, “This is one of the largest firms in the state. The fact that nearly 50 percent of the attor-neys here are women is pretty impressive.” As one of the most senior attorneys at the time, Crystal began her emphasis on crimes against children in 2011.
With the pressure of conviction and the horror of the crimes themselves, Crystal sees the role of prosecutor as a double-edged sword. “I love working with children—they are so pure. And while it’s difficult seeing them re-live these hor-rors, I love being able to help them do something most adults couldn’t do,” she says of their bravery in testimony. The walls of her office display the reward of artwork and letters of apprecia-tion from the many children who saw her as nothing less than a superhero.
“There is no sentencing term long enough that can take away the pain and suffering the child victims and their
families will face for the rest of their lives.”~ Crystal Johnson, Magistrate Judge
Being a mother has helped her relate to her clients, Crystal says. And the lessons of her work have spilled into her home life, as she and her husband, Chad, raise their three children. Crystal notes the importance of education and open commu-nication between parents and children in order to help keep children safe. “People think it won’t happen to their child, but children are just too easily manipulated. They don’t know it’s wrong, sometimes for years down the road,” she says, while ex-plaining how her children are taught, and frequently reminded, that there are no secrets between them.
The lessons will undoubtedly spill into her new role as magistrate judge for Lincoln and Minnehaha counties. While Crystal says she will miss working directly with children, she is looking forward to the challenges and rewards her new the position will bring. sfw

Jillian Gunlicks says she doesn’t mind having peo-ple watch her work—especially when the finished product is a timeless wedding portrait that “cap-tures such an awesome moment.”
The Sioux Falls artist says creating a wedding portrait during the course of a couple’s reception is fun as well as work.
“I love doing it,” Jillian says. “It’s so much fun while I’m there and people get so excited about watching me paint. But when I get in my car to head home, I am com-pletely exhausted.”

Sometimes Jillian is hired as a surprise gift for the bride and groom. While other times, the couple hires her to capture a special moment of their choice on canvas while their guests watch her paint throughout the evening.
“Usually, people have me paint the first dance,” says Jillian, who arrives early to start painting the background details. By the end of the night, the painting is complete. “I take it home and work on some finishing touches, but people usu-ally have the painting back within a week,” she says.
Pricing varies based on the size of the painting.
She laughs about being the re-ception’s “entertainment.”
“It is great fun for the kids to sit around and watch me paint for six hours,” she says.
Faces are the hardest elements to paint, she says. “You need to get that perfect because it has to look like them. The hands are difficult too.”
The Brandon native also creates paintings after the big event. Some people buy a portrait as a wedding gift and Jillian provides a gift card that reads: “A custom painting will be created for you from a wedding photo of your choice.” Couples also have had paintings done from a photo of a destination wedding that then is displayed at the recep-tion back in South Dakota held at a later date.
One couple calls Jillian’s work from their wedding a “treasured keepsake” that they proudly display in their home.
Jillian, who attended the Uni-versity of Minnesota and Empire Academy of Makeup in Califor-nia, also creates children’s portraits and pet portraits, and does stage makeup, bridal makeup and photo shoots.
“Anything artsy I am up for,” she says. sfw

The store offers de-signer brands such as Diesel, Robert Graham, John Hardy, True Reli-gion, Hugo Boss, Giorgio Armani, Tommy Bahama, Mark Nason and others.
Prices are more than 50 percent less than retail, April says, and the store features business suits on consignment.
The store’s concierge service is also popular, she adds. Customers can go online to set up a pickup time and The Clothing Agency will come to their home. “If a customer wants to donate
any items that we don’t purchase, we’ll also get customers a donation receipt for their tax re-cords,” April says.
As an entrepreneur, April says she under-stands that there are
other options out there for people to sell and buy resale apparel such as Craigslist or garage sales, but time is money and
The Clothing Agency eliminates the work. “Peo-ple have to determine how they want to spend their time,” she says.
The retail space, which is near Scheels, is designed as a man’s store but is still woman-friendly. “It has a modern, industrial feel but is a place where everyone would enjoy shopping,” she adds.
“And our goal is not to have racks so crowded that
it’s overwhelming,” April says. “We want to make it easy for people to find what they like.”
Admitting that she has always had a passion for clothes and fashion, April McCormick is truly in her element as owner of
The Clothing Agency for Men, a NU2U clothing store that opened in May.
“I am an avid shopper of resale cloth-ing. It’s fun for me,” April says. “I love do-ing it.”
She says her hus-band came up with the idea for the store. “He asked me if there was a resale clothing store for men, would I shop there,” April says. “And I said yes, there’s definitely a need for it.”

the opportunity for a storefront opened up on Cedar Street in Brandon, Amanda didn’t hesitate.
Beautique Boutique held its grand opening at its new lo-cation in November, and Amanda and her employees have their eyes set on a successful future by providing a welcoming experience and top-notch customer service.
Amanda strives to provide on-trend, attractive, quality clothing at affordable prices. But, more important, she main-tains a vision of providing a positive shopping experience for her customers. “I want people to feel comfortable here,” she says of her store. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many new friends through this business, and I hope to provide that same feeling of friendship to my customers.”
Contrary to typical “boutique” pricing perception, Beau-tique Boutique delivers on its affordable promise with prices ranging from $20-$50. And while the majority of the inven-tory focuses on women, the store also stocks girl and toddler pieces. Items are available for purchase in store and online.
Barn doors, vibrant walls and antique chairs accentu-ate the clothing, shoes, accessories and gift items available at Beautique Boutique. It’s a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere compounded by the
friendly greeting you’re sure to receive when you first walk through the door. And it’s the type of service Beautique Bou-tique strives to provide for each of its customers.
Owner Amanda Christopherson says she has always been equally interested in boutique-style clothing and owning her own business. The two passions easily melded into her first business venture as an exclusive online store in June 2014. But, with rapid success, Amanda quickly found herself overloaded with an 8-to-5 day job and her online business flourishing, leaving her little time for her family.
“I found that people were more interested in the personal interaction of shopping,” Amanda says. “They wanted to try on the clothes—see them, touch them—before buying.” And while that type of interaction was more time-consuming than the online shop she first envisioned, it was exactly the kind of customer service Amanda preferred to provide for her cus-tomers.
Amanda says her garage quickly took on the appearance of a perpetual garage sale, as she helped customers find the per-fect fit for the perfect piece to add to their wardrobe. So when

For David Napolitano, only the best is worth serving to his cus-tomers. A sort of Renaissance man adhering to old-world bak-
ing techniques, there are no shortcuts taken in his kitchen.
He shares, “We have no commercial yeast in our bakery. We use the old-world method of us-ing a natural s o u r d o u g h starter to rise and ferment our bread dough. We work every day at Breadico to make world-class bread, and this me-thodical blend of science, in-tuition, experience, and care that we prac-tice brings us to that level. When you have our breads at their best, you’re really having some of the best bread there is. That’s pretty incredible to note that you can have that here in Sioux Falls anytime without traveling abroad or to the coasts.”
