My oldest child will start high school next

year, and I’m getting close to the big 4-0…

um, very close. These types of things do

give a person pause. Don’t get me wrong,

I’m not having a mid-life crisis, more like a

mid-life awakening. I’m not scared of get-

ting old— in fact, the older I get, the more

I like who I am. But I do have one concern:

that I’ll work hard during the middle years

of my life and not feel well enough to en-

joy all of the things I’m too busy to do now

but hoping I’ll do later. So, all of this has

got me thinking. What do I want the end

of my life to look like? And furthermore,

what am I doing now (or not doing) that

will get me there?

I’ve decided that Betty White has things

figured out. She’s pretty much what I want

my 90s, should I make it, to look like. Don’t

worry; I have no delusions that I’ll be a re-

vered American-actress icon. What I mean

is she is laughing. She’s still causing a little

mischief and has passion for life. I fully in-

tend to be that unassuming old lady who

makes inappropriate remarks to everyone

else’s family at the nursing home. After all,

what fun would being old be if I couldn’t

say whatever I wanted? And if my memory

is bad, I can always hide my own Easter

eggs. But I am going to have a good time

– no matter what.

Whatever phase of life you are in, I figure it

is never a bad idea to pause and take a little

inventory. What is your end game? What

kind of 90-year-old do you want to be? This

is not the kind of thing that is set in stone

but continues to evolve over time. If done

properly, the road you are on and the road

you want to be on to enjoy the end of your

life will merge. Happy traveling!

You might come to acupuncturist Colleen

Ragan seeking relief for a sore back or

neck, but don’t be surprised if she wants

to know whether you eat breakfast.

For practitioners who are traditionally

trained in the ancient forms of Oriental

medicine, as Ragan is, acupuncture is

about treating the whole person, not just

her symptoms.

“The way Chinese medicine looks at it is

that everything is related,” said Ragan, who

opened her New Freedom Acupuncture

Clinic in Rapid City in 2006. “It’s not a Western

medicine. It’s an Eastern medicine. From the

get-go it’s very different philosophically.”

Chinese medicine is a complex health

care system based on the observation of

nature. It holds that natural laws govern

the universe, the universe is naturally har-

monious, change is constant, and life

is interconnected. There is a

yin and yang balance

to all things;

everything – even bodily organs – has an

interdependent opposing force.

Chinese medicine centers on the belief

that the body is imbued with “Qi” (pro-

nounced “chee”), a life-force energy. When

the balance of that energy is disturbed or

blocked, illness or pain will result.

Acupuncture corrects the imbalance by

stimulating the body’s ability to heal itself,

using very fine stainless steel needles that

are inserted into the skin at one or more of

the body’s 360 acupressure points.

The ancient art has been practiced in China

for thousands of years but wasn’t legalized

in the United States until the 1970s.

Today acupuncture is widely accepted by

Americans as an “alternative” medicine for

maladies ranging from infertility to injury

to post-traumatic stress disorder. Insur-

ance policies and even V.A. benefits now

cover acupuncture treatments.

There are still skeptics, of course. Ragan

was one when she first tried acupunc-

ture for back pain. After asking numer-

ous questions, the practitioner asked Ra-

gan what she thought the problem was

– something she had never encountered

with Western medicine.

“I felt really involved in my initial visit,”

Ragan said. “And by golly, he gave me less

pain that day. I was sold.”

So sold she left an

established me-

dia career, moved

to Colorado and

spent more than

3,000 hours earning

a master’s degree in Orien-

tal science. Ragan then returned

to South Dakota, wanting to be “out here

where the medicine wasn’t.”

She’s one of just eight traditionally

trained acupuncturists in the state (sev-

eral chiropractors also offer acupunc-

ture treatments). And while relatively

few people here have tried acupunc-

ture, anyone who has seen “Kung

Fu Panda” is familiar with its basic

principles.

“The idea of energy and Qi, and the

Chinese way of looking at life, is not

as foreign as it once was,” Ragan said.

Ancient as it is, acupuncture continues to

evolve. “We’re dealing with complicated

issues that did not exist 2,000 years ago,”

such as environmental toxins, Ragan said.

That’s why once-effective treatments may

no longer work. “It’s crazy interesting, and

it’s crazy complicated.”

And because Chinese medicine treats the

underlying cause, treatment protocols can

vary for patients with similar symptoms.

For instance, one woman’s hot flashes

may be related to a yin/yang imbalance,

another’s due to hypertension. As a result,

treatment differs.

In addition to acupuncture,

treatment might include

Chinese herbal rem-

edies. Ragan said each

is a blend of up to

7

ess

20 herbs, specially formulated for the in-

dividual client.

Ragan cautions that acupuncture is not a

miracle cure, which might come as a dis-

appointment to those wanting a quick-

fix. Part of the “miracle” might be that an

acupuncturist – treating your “whole self”

– recommends you change your diet, take

up tai chi, or start eating breakfast.

“It all comes together” to restore balance,

Ragan said. In the end, “Chinese medicine

is a lot about moderation.” BHW

Botulinum toxin type A, now known as

Botox, came about when ophthalmolo-

gist Alan B. Scott, M.D., hypothesized

that the drug might be an effective

therapy for crossed eyes. Dr. Scott dis-

covered that by injecting a small amount

of botulinum toxin into the hyperactive

ocular muscles in monkeys, he was able

to realign crossed eyes associated with

strabismus.

For the next 20 years, Dr. Scott collaborat-

ed with others to develop botulinum tox-

in type A for human treatment. In the late

1970s, Dr. Scott formed his own company,

Oculinum Inc., where he continued to

study botulinum toxin type in people. In

1988, Dr. Scott sold the rights to Allergan

Inc. for a meager $8 million and changed

the face of America, literally. Today, Botox

is a billion dollar enterprise.

By now, most women have heard of Bo-

tox Cosmetic. Some view it as a wrinkle

-removing powerhouse, while others fear

it could be dangerous and gives faces a

frozen, expressionless look. So we set

out to understand the drug more ful-

ly through a Q&A session with local

ophthalmologist, Gail Bernard, M.D.

BHW: What are the cosmetic uses

of Botox?

Dr. Bernard: Botox is great at relaxing

dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear

during smiling, frowning, squinting, etc).

It’s most common use is at relaxing the

lines around the eyes and the forehead.

Another nice use of Botox is the “chemi-

cal” brow lift. This works by relaxing the

muscles that pull the brows together and

down, allowing the brow to be elevated

and can add a little more arch to the out-

er brow. Botox can also be used sparingly

around the mouth to decrease vertical

“smoker’s” lines. “Marionette” lines, the

downward turning lines of the corners

of the mouth, may be treated with Bo-

tox, allowing elevation of the corners of

the mouth. Platysmal bands (thick verti-

cal muscles in the neck) and bunny lines

(horizontal lines on the nasal bridge) can

also be relaxed.

BHW: What are the non-cosmetic uses of

Botox?

Dr. Bernard: Botox continues to be used

in certain causes of strabismus (thyroid

eye disease, nerve palsy) where the mis-

alignment may be temporary.

Another common use of Botox in ophthal-

mology is in the treatment of blepharo-

spasms (uncontrollable squeezing of the

eyelids).

Botox is also effective in decreasing secre-

tions from sweat and tear glands. Exces-

sive sweating of the palms, armpits and

feet or excessive tearing can be controlled

with injections into or near those glands.

Migraine headaches may also be treated

by relaxing the muscles that may be trig-

ger points for the headaches. This works

best for people with trigger points in the

forehead or occipital region in the back of

the head/upper neck.

Large amounts of Botox can also be in-

jected in spastic muscles, and very small

amounts can be injected in the vocal

cords.

BHW: What are the risks of Botox?

Dr. Bernard: The most common side ef-

fects of Botox are mild discomfort during

the injection and a small amount of bruis-

ing or swelling from the injection. The

Botox compound is stabilized with human

albumin. Therefore, those allergic to albu-

min or eggs should not receive Botox as

it may cause an allergic reaction. Those

who are pregnant or breast feeding, have

neuromuscular disease (myasthenia gra-

vis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome), or a skin

infection at the site of planned injection,

should not use Botox.

Other potential risks are related to the site

of injection, the amount of Botox injected

and the technique used. Asymmetry from

one side of the face to the other, droop-

ing eyelids (upper or lower), dry eyes

(from poor lid closure), drooping cheek

or drooping lip are all possibilities. Using

a provider with thorough understanding

of facial muscle anatomy and proper in-

jection technique is the best way to avoid

these problems.

Cosmetic uses of Botox have never been

reported to cause death. However, there

are four death reports of children with

cerebral palsy that were treated with very

large amounts of Botox. These deaths

were related to Botox traveling to the re-

spiratory muscles.

BHW: Why is Botox considered safe?

Dr. Bernard: Botulinum toxin is a very po-

tent and potentially deadly toxin. How-

ever, Botox is a purified form of only one

of the seven distinct strains. It needs to

be properly handled, stored and recon-

stituted. It was heavily researched and

used clinically for decades before the FDA

gave its approval for cosmetic use. With

cosmetic treatments, very small amounts

are injected so only that specific muscle is

affected by the toxin. BHW

If you’re in the habit of packing an extra

pair of comfortable shoes to slip on dur-

ing your lunch break, or even to hide un-

derneath your desk at work, high-fashion

shoe experts say those days are over.

In an effort to provide women with a

shoe that not only looks good, but feels

good – all day –

several popular

brands now of-

fer fashionable

shoes that pro-

vide the same

comfort as your favorite pair of sneakers.

“It’s for the gal that works all day, and

wants to have a shoe that she looks nice

in, but doesn’t want to be suffering all

day,” said Brett Mathern, owner of Sole

Mate Shoes. “ … There’s a lot of gals who

work and go to appointments and have

to be on the go. The concept where you

have to change shoes shouldn’t be how

it is.”

Sole Mate Shoes is what Mathern calls a

Euro comfort shoe store.

The shoe brands are from all over world,

including Riker from Germany, Birken-

stock from Germany, Naot from Israel

and Spring Step from Italy.

“We have

a good

variety

of not-

your-

average,

made-in-China shoes,” he said.

The store also stocks two American

brands, including Munro and Sas.

“More of these brands are finding a lot of

success where you can have a shoe and

look good in it, but still look good for a

full day,” he said.

These brands, Mathern said, encourage

women to take their footwear seriously,

which is why high-fashion and comfort

go hand in hand.

“When a shoe is going to be a multi-sea-

son shoe and one that will feel better and

look better, expect a larger investment,”

he said. “When you’re convincing some-

one to buy a $100 shoe vs. a $50 shoe,

it’s going to have a better construction, a

leather material vs. man-made materials.”

Buying cheap shoes does not necessarily

mean saving money long term, he said.

“A lot of things go into a shoe,” he said.

“If the shoe costs twice as much, but lasts

twice as long, and it is twice as comfort-

able, that’s where we translate the value.

They realize their footwear is more of an

investment.”

This year’s comfortable, high-

fashion shoes will also offer wom-

en a better variety of color.

“When someone picks up shoes,

they ask, ‘What am I going to wear

with this?’” Mathern said. “If they

have more options, the shoe be-

comes more valuable.”

“Something a lot of brands have

done is eliminate some of their

solid and neutral tones, tans and

khaki, and put more into pewter

and bonzes that will match with the

wardrobe. The stone color will match

more things.”

The look of the shoes will also change

with seasons, he added.

“With summer, there will be more of an

open look,” he said.

His recent orders for fall include more

closed styles.

“The fashions are a lot of color block-

ing and man-tailored,” he said. “A lot of

things popular now are going to be more

open and breathable, laser-cut leather, a

peak-toe shoe to show off the pedicure

and keep air moving across the foot on a

nice hot day.”

He’s hoping women take advantage

of the new trend and ditch the habit of

packing a pair of sneakers to work to take

a brisk lunch break walk.

“Being able to find a three-inch wedge

and still being able to walk around the

block shouldn’t be as big of an issue as

people think,” he said.

His piece of advice is to take the time to

find the right

shoes.

“We’re not a

box shoes,

we’re going to fit you,” he said. “We’ll find

out what you’re wearing the shoe for and

be able to communicate the value of a

shoe.”

Fashion is just as important as fit, he said,

and he recommended visiting a store

that has knowledgeable staff, he said.

“Sit down, get measured,” he said.

Some women neglect to get measured

for years, assuming they will wear the

same size for-

ever. That’s

not always the

case, Mathern

added.

“Get fit for shoes, get pampered,” he said.

Financial Independence by Kathleen Fox

Accessories. From scarves to shoes,

they can be fun, sexy and satisfy-

ing. The right ones are important in

helping us look and feel our best.

There’s one accessory, however, that no

woman should be without. It can help us

speak with more power, act with more

confidence and build stronger relation-

ships. It helps us show up in the world as

the capable, powerful women we truly are.

This crucial accessory isn’t an exotic leath-

er bag, a pair of designer shoes or a super-

smart phone.

It’s money.

Not money as in “spend it lavishly to im-

press people.” Money as in “financial inde-

pendence.”

Financial independence is one of the

terms money professionals use for having

enough money to take care of yourself.

Exactly how much money is “enough” is

different for each of us. One person might

define financial independence as enough

wealth to live comfortably without having

to work. An-

other might see

it as financial secu-

rity for old age. Another might find it in a

well-paying job. Yet another might think

financial independence is freedom from

the need to spend much at all.

No matter how you define financial inde-

pendence for yourself, you don’t have it

unless you have some amount of actual

money that belongs to you. At a mini-

mum, financial independence means hav-

ing money available to spend on everyday

expenses, money saved for emergencies

and money invested for your future.

One of the most important advantages

of financial independence is an increased

sense of security and confidence. This

spills over into areas of your life that aren’t

directly about money.

Here’s just one example. There’s a lot of

security in knowing that, if you had to,

you could walk away from a marriage or

other committed relationship and be able

to provide for yourself. This gives you the

freedom to be who you really are in that

relationship. You aren’t there because you

can’t afford to leave— you’re there be-

cause you want to be.

If you’re financially dependent on your

partner, you’re less likely to feel like an

equal. Taken to the extreme, financial

dependency can keep women trapped

in abusive relationships. Even in healthy,

loving marriages, it can create resentment

and stress.

Financial independence gives both part-

ners more options for getting through

hard times. It also gives them more ways to

spend time together, enjoy their relation-

ship and support one another’s dreams.

Secretly stashing money away in secret

or insisting that “what’s yours is ours and

what’s mine is mine,” by the way, is manip-

ulation and inequality, not independence.

Partners can certainly own and manage

everything jointly and still be financially

independent. What matters is that

they both recognize the value of

each other’s contributions—fi-

nancially and otherwise—that

entitle them to equal owner-

ship of the financial assets.

This brings us back to

the inconvenient

reality that finan-

cial assets are

exactly what

you need if you want real financial inde-

pendence. Building those assets requires

choosing to live on less than you take in

now so you can put money away for the

future. That isn’t always easy. Putting a

couple of hundred bucks into an invest-

ment account isn’t nearly as much fun as

spending it on a new designer bag or a

pair of wonderful shoes.

Yet in the long run, creating a financial

cushion can do more for your self-esteem

and confidence than having closets full

of even the most glamorous fashion ac-

cessories.

Financial independence. It always fits, and

it looks good on anyone. Best of all, it nev-

er goes out of style. It’s the one accessory

every woman ought to have. BHW

You have probably encountered a co-

worker or witnessed a child that displays

ungrateful, selfish or demanding behav-

ior. And to top it all off, they expect every-

thing without working for it. Entitlement

behavior is a major concern for many

parents, and the way you parent your

child can

impact

whether

you raise

an entitled

or responsible child.

Have you ever wondered if you are rais-

ing a child that acts entitled, especially

around other people?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you ever feel like your child is de-

manding and expects things with out

earning them?

• Does your child expect items, like a

cell phone, just because their friends

have one?

• Does your child blame others—“it’s

their fault”, for their own actions?

• Do you do things for your child they are

capable of doing themselves?

• Do you work hard to make sure your

child doesn’t experience unhappy emo-

tions or experiences?

If you an-

swered yes,

to several of

these ques-

tions, you

might be raising an entitled child.

What exactly is entitlement? An example

would be a 16-year-old who expects a

new car because she/he is 16, and has a li-

cense or because “everyone else has one.”

So if we want to move away from raising

an entitled child, what is the opposite of

entitled? Responsible. A child who is em-

powered by earning items and is account-

able for their actions.

Consider a continuum, where one side is

an entitled individual and the other is one

who is responsible. Just like so many other

aspects in life, we need to find balance

between the two and avoid leaning to ei-

A child who is empowered by earning items and is accountable for their actions.

ther end of the entitlement/responsibility

continuum.

Don’t feel discouraged if you’re reading

this and thinking that maybe your child

could use a little more help in the re-

sponsibility department. Changing your

parenting approach takes persistence

because kids will put up a fight as you are

changing the rules of the house. To undo

what has been learned for years will take

time. In the long run, it will pay off for your

child, especially as they become an inde-

pendent, responsible adult. Responsibility

is built over time and with hands-on expe-

rience. This starts at home with parents

who model and teach these same values.

A good rule to follow: give your child ev-

erything they need (food clothing, shel-

ter, love) not everything they want (cell

phone, xBox, car). BHW

Lynell Rice Brinkworth is in private practice as a

Marriage & Family Therapist in Rapid City.

So how do you begin?

1. Give chores. Not only does this help your child feel a part of the family, they are learning valuable life skills.

2. Avoid excessive gifts, especially if they haven’t earned it. Relationships are built by spending time together, not buy-ing things.

3. Role model. Kids learn by watching, not by listening to what you tell them to do. Show hard work and responsible spending by buying items when you have earned the money and not using credit.

4. Ask yourself this, “has my child earned this item?” Instead of automati-cally giving a cell phone or new car when your child turns a certain age.

5. Volunteer and give back to others. This helps your child take the “me” out of the equation and experience delayed gratification by seeing a project through from start to finish.

6. Be consistent and STICK to the rules, expectations and chores you have set for your household. Follow through on con-

sequences— both negative and positive.

7. Set up a bank account for your child. They will be able to watch it grow and use the money they earn to buy items they want. This will help them see the connec-tion between effort and reward.

8. Let your child struggle sometimes. If you take away everything negative or uncomfortable, your child will not learn the value of perseverance or experience the excitement of victory after hard work.

9. Strive for good communication and a quality relationship with your child.

E-Overload by Dorothy Rosby

I sat down at my home computer one

Sunday morning to check email. There

were 17 new messages and 78 old mes-

sages dating back to November 16. (Yes,

2011. Give me some credit!) The oldest

one was from . . . well . . . me. I’d sent my-

self a message from work, reminding me

to change the furnace filter. I’m not sure I

ever did it, but it’s probably time to send

another reminder anyway.

I love email. Most email. I don’t care for

those from the Diploma Outlet or the

South African Oil Ministry. The reminders

I send myself are a little annoying, too.

Generally though, I love email. But those

old messages had been bugging me like a

sliver in the foot.

That Sunday, my husband and son went

fishing, and I stayed home and dealt with

every single one. I started with the low-

hanging fruit (cakes); the Viagra vendors

and the rich widows, hoping to give me

their money before they die.

Then I went through the rest. I responded,

deleted, filed, and got up and changed

the furnace filter. I spent more than three

hours at it! That should give you some

indication of how I feel about fishing.

In the end, I had an empty inbox. It was

beautiful– and a little sad. But I knew it

wouldn’t stay that way long. I get A LOT

of email, and I have some bad habits that

cause e-build up in the old inbox.

BAD HABIT #1: I put off replying to certain

messages because I think the sender

deserves a thoughtful, eloquent response.

Those take time, at least for me. Eventu-

ally, time runs out and I’m forced to reply.

I cannot tell you the number of eloquent

emails that have been replaced by quick

ones that would have been fine if they

weren’t two weeks late. Sometimes, I wait

so long that the response is no longer

relevant. For example, “Will you be at the

reunion?”

“I guess not. How did it go?”

BAD HABIT #2. I handle email like a bad

story problem. “Dorothy receives seven

emails, answers two, gets discouraged,

28

Lifes

tyle

Page 29: Black Hills Woman Magazine- July/Aug'12

and closes down her computer. Later,

while standing in line at the sub shop, she

checks her phone and sees she’s received

eight new messages. She answers three,

gets to the front of the line, and closes her

email. She turns on her computer before

bed and sees she’s received five messag-

es. She’s too tired to handle them, so she

closes her inbox and plays solitaire for a

half an hour. If Dorothy keeps this up, how

soon until her inbox is full?”

BAD HABIT #3. I don’t always read a mes-

sage fully before responding. This forces

the other person to send me another

message—or two. For example, a friend

writes, “What time will you arrive? Can

you bring the paper plates?” And I write

back, “Sure.”

Other times I contribute by not asking

enough questions. I recently participated

in an email conversation that went some-

thing like this:

“What day works for you?”

“How about Monday?”

“Monday is out.”

“How about Wednesday?”

“What time?”

“Eleven?”

“Won’t work.”

“How about 2?

“Nope.”

“CALL ME!”

“Why?”

I learned from my mistakes. And I’m

proud to say, that for one full week, I

ended every day with an empty inbox.

I checked email in the morning before

work and at night before bed, and I

handled every new email before I turned

off the computer. Then I went camping. I

had neither access nor inclination to read

email. When I came back I had company

for a week. After the company left, I had

bedding to wash and dishes to do. And

right now I have 83 emails in my home

inbox. I just hope my family will go fishing

this weekend. BHW

Color is back. The hues of the moment

are vibrant, daring and I daresay a bit

audacious – perfect for everything “sum-

mertime” – from bedroom walls to beach

towels.

Indigos have been the blues in the news,

but peacock has been flaunting its feath-

ers quite relentlessly lately. Other than

the Pantone Color of the Year, Pantone’s

Tangerine Tango, peacock was the hottest

color at April’s High Point Market. The

complementary color to orange, the two

hues form a natural pairing. And while

tangerine lends itself best to tasteful

accents in most instances, peacock can

be used without hesitation. It makes for a

well-dressed sofa

or chair, espe-

cially in leather.

Indulge your

walls in flawless

distinction with a

high-gloss paint

like Benjamin

Moore 770

Americana.

If you didn’t fall head over heels for the

colors of the year in 2011 or 2012 (last

year’s was Honeysuckle Pink), this is the

color for you. Not orange, not pink, coral

is a harmonious fusion of the two. Com-

pletely usable, coral lends itself to both

traditional and contemporary interiors. It

can be classic and sweet or punchy and

glamorous. This peachy-pink hue is also

flattering

to most

skin tones,

making

it easy to

wear.

Jasmine also has expertise in the area of sustainable design and a strong dedication to implementing environmentally responsible design decisions into each project.

My go-to hue at the moment, I love using chartreuse in both interiors and my ward-

robe. Slightly edgier than yellow, this color sits perfectly perched on the fence between

citrus and lime green. In childhood, it was the crayon in the 96-pack Crayola box (you

know, the one with the built-in sharpener) that consistently remained perfectly chiseled

because you never quite knew where to use it. My two grown-up suggestions are 1) pair

it as a punchy complement with one of the other two colors in this list, or 2) let it steal

the spotlight in a gray and white palette.

I take full advantage of my lunch hour

during work. It is my time to tan, walk or

shop alone!

I take time on Sunday to cook and freeze

food ahead of time for the week. It’s

amazing how many foods freeze well.

I think there are times a mom needs to

make sure her child knows what respect

is, but I also think there is a definitive line

between a smack on the butt and what

is considered a “beating.” I would never

want to see my children afraid of me.

The middle daughter told me her young-

I remember an episode of “All in the Fam-

ily” in which Frank Lorenzo made a gour-

met dinner for the Bunkers – included on

the menu was a traditional vichyssoise –

Archie immediately complained his soup

was cold, rushed into the kitchen

and ate a can of pork and beans.

Archie reacted the same way

many react – soup is meant

to be served hot, no other

way.

Of course, vichyssoise is

a traditional French potato

soup that is always served

cold. So is the traditional

Spanish soup, gazpacho.

The definition of soup is,

a liquid food made by boil-

ing or simmering meat,

fish, or vegetables with

various added ingre-

dients. So, many

cold soups do

see heat during

preparation, but they are of course chilled

several hours before serving. However,

there are some cold soups are prepared

cold from start to finish.

Most cold soups are served in small por-

tions, as they are usually rich or sweet.

Many contain cream, while others have

such intense flavors that the palate

couldn’t handle more than a small cupful.

Frankly, except for maybe an ice cold

beer or a nice chilled glass of white wine

or rose, I can’t think of anything better

than a decadent cold soup to refresh the

body on a hot summer’s day. I will provide

several recipes for cold soups in this is-

sue – some are sweet fruit soups, others

are savory. All should be served in small

portions – many can be a course in a meal

or part of a brunch. Enjoy! Oh, and a bo-

nus for you: bring in a copy of this issue

to KOTA-TV at 518 St. Joseph St. and you

LAST SATURDAY

at Mitzi’s

SharonThis is a sad, yet humorously full-of-life

story of two “cancer kids” dealing with

their illnesses. Hazel Grace and Augustus

meet in support group, quickly bond and

learn how to maximize their limited time

together. They taught me how sappy and

insincere well-meaning clichés can sound

to someone whose days are numbered.

For me, the message is clear – do not put

off living, because anyone’s life can end

mid-sentence.

SaraThis book was funnier and more in-

teresting than one would think. John

Green injects humor and realism into

his characters. Hazel and Augustus are

perceptive and witty; they have a deep

desire for living and for each other. Their

insight on cancer and its side effects are

a natural part of who they are. It was en-

tertaining to see their relationship grow

and plans unfold as they both face death.

Good read!

DebbieFaultless! A very moving, beautifully writ-

ten story about the brave, selfless pure

love of Hazel, Augustus and Isaac as they

try to find the answers to the questions we

all ask our selves— will I be loved? Will I be

remembered? The Fault In Our Stars made

me laugh, it made me cry. “That’s the

thing about pain...it demands to be felt.”

‘The Fault in our Stars’ by John Green

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Can-cer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

SaraThis is a heartbreaking story dealing

with many painful emotions: a marriage

breaking up, a mother leaving her chil-

dren, the children confused and scared,

a father trying to learn how to be a true

parent, and all of them facing the uncer-

tainty of war.

Kristin Hannah has a way of bringing out

her characters so that the reader will react,

either positively or negatively. I found my-

self commiserating with both Jolene and

Michael. Highly recommended.

nikkiKristin Hannah hits home again with

“Home Front,” the story of a return-

ing Iraq veteran and her family. When

Jolene’s unit is called up for deploy-

ment, her family is not only shocked but

angry about the impending changes to

their lives. What follows is a story of fear,

courage, self-sacrifice and love. Hannah

provides us with a glimpse into the lives

of an American military family and some

of the challenges that they face on a

daily basis.

SharonAs a veteran, I related to this emotional

and timely story! Kristin Hannah cre-

ates believable characters that are vul-

nerable, stubborn, strong-willed and at

times incorrect in their interpretations

of what’s going on in their relationships.

Who can’t relate! She shows how healing

can happen through love and a humble

spirit. I didn’t deploy, but my son did and

I appreciate how this author depicted

the turmoil individuals and their families

continue to endure to safeguard the free-

doms we enjoy as Americans. BHW

‘Home Front’ by Kristin Hannah

At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, “Home Front” is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor and, ultimately, hope.

Biker Belles

In 1916, Adeline and Augusta Van Buren

became the first female motorcycle rid-

ers to ride from east to west coast, endur-

ing a two-month journey that included

rain storms and washed-out roads.

During a time when women still rode

horses side-

saddle, wearing

pants was taboo,

and women’s

right to vote was

still years away,

the sisters’ dar-

ing act stunned

the nation.

Fast forward to

the 21st century, when, according to a

2008 Motorcycle Industry Council survey,

one in 12 motorcyclists is a woman. The

motorcycling world has also begun to

recognize women’s role in motorcycling

in a more formal way— in 2003, the Van

Buren sisters were inducted into the Stur-

gis Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

This August, the trend toward honoring

women’s role in riding continues with

the annual Biker Belles event at the St-

urgis Buffalo Chip. Biker Belles, an event

described as a day of “real women, real

stories and real fun,” pays homage to

everyday riders, as well as the past and

present legends of women in motorcy-

cling. Some of those legends will be in at-

tendance — among those to attend this

year’s event

will be 86-year-

old rider Gloria

Struck, who

has been a

member of the

Motor Maids

women’s mo-

torcycle club

for more than

65 years.

One-hundred percent of rider contribu-

tions are split between two female-ori-

ented causes — a portion of the funds go

toward women’s exhibits at the Sturgis

Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, an-

other portion to Helping with Horsepow-

er, a program aimed at helping young

women who are at risk of or are victims

of abuse.

“F or many women, motorcy-cling has helped them overcome

difficult situations and gave them a community of support and the

feeling of freedom.”

helped them overcome difficult situa-

tions and gave them a community of

support and the feeling of freedom,” said

Toni Woodruff of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip,

an organizer of this year’s event. “These

women have great stories to share about

how motorcycling has created positive

change in their lives and inspire new rid-

ers and women as a whole.”

While Biker Belles is geared toward allow-

ing women to share their stories, it’s not

limited to women— or even to those who

ride on two wheels. “We recognize that

men support their wives, mothers and

daughters,” said Woodruff. “We wanted to

make sure it wasn’t exclusive to women or

limited to riders only. It’s for whoever en-

joys the lifestyle of motorcycling.”

The August 8th event includes a ride

from the Deadwood Lodge to the Buf-

falo Chip, a fashion show featuring Har-

ley-Davidson apparel, a live and silent

auction and a private catered reception

featuring the “Paving the Way” Museum

exhibit, and participation in the headline

concert at the Buffalo Chip.

A number of well-known female riders

will attend the event, including actress

Kristi Swanson; Mrs. South Dakota Interna-

tional 2011 Lori Visker; Meg McDonough,

the first female officer within the Jackpine

Gypsies; and 2007 Cycle Source Motorcy-

cling Woman of the Year Laura Klock and

her husband, Brian, who own Klock Werks

Above all, organizers hope the event will

help others feel a sense of community

thing that was decades away when the

Van Buren sisters made their famous

cross-country journey.

“A lot of people have stories to share, and

motorcycling is a vehicle— literally a ve-

hicle— to make the change or improve-

ment in their lives,” Woodruff said. “It’s a

way to get together and share the pas-

sion of the road.” BHW
