“You look like a leaf monster!” I said to my dog, who trotted in the back door. His wiry fur was completely covered in crispy leaves. Our 40-year-old maple tree had finally dropped its leaves, and our dog rolled in them.

Dental caries (decay) remains the most common chronic disease in the U.S. and globally, despite decades of research and proven preventive strategies. In South Dakota, 60–65% of adults and over half of children have experienced tooth decay, with higher rates among low-income, rural and tribal populations. These disparities reflect longstanding challenges in accessing preventive care, especially in underserved areas.

The gardening season has officially ended. Hopefully, you have everything ready for winter and are ready to enjoy the holiday season. As I prepare for the holiday season, I am also taking time to reflect on the improvements needed and the success of my garden this growing season. I am writing notes now, so that I don’t forget things over the long winter and go into the next growing season unprepared.

Greetings from your friends at PNC! First, I want to thank everyone out there that donated items to our resident Christmas Shop this year. I also want to give a big thank you to those of you who simply prayed for the safety of our staff that helped with the big shopping day. You may laugh, but Black Friday shopping at Wal-Mart has nothing on our Christmas Shop grand opening. I am happy to report that nobody got trampled or was left with wheelchair marks on them when the day was over.

Thanksgiving, and the holiday season in general, can stir up a mix of emotions. For many, it’s a time filled with long-standing traditions and family gatherings. For others, it’s quieter, different, or even a little bittersweet. I fall somewhere in the middle.

Story hour was great on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Tammy read ‘Abe’ and ‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving.’ The kids really liked Abe. It was about a moose who thought he was not good for anything because he was so big and clumsy. Then a flood happened, and all the animals showed him gratitude for helping them get through the water. We had cookies and juice for a snack, then the kids decorated turkeys!!!!!
