Ukraine<br />
Nataliia Valianska opened the first Ukrainian snack and food store in Orange<br />
City on Wednesday, June 5. She named it Schedryck, after the traditional Ukrainian<br />
song “Shchedryk,” in English known as Christmas song “Carol of the Bells.”<br />

RANGE CITY—From dill-pickled tomatoes<br />
to borscht spice mix, Schedryck is<br />
bringing Ukrainian snacks and food to<br />
N’West Iowa.<br />
The new store made its debut on June 5 in<br />
downtown Orange City.<br />
Owner Nataliia Valianska looks forward to sharing<br />
a piece of her childhood home with her new one.<br />
“I’m originally from Ukraine,” Valianska said. “I<br />
came here August 2022, so, at the start of the war.<br />
I lived a couple months in Spain, and then I came<br />
here.”<br />
Valianska lived in Odesa, a Ukrainian city lining<br />
the Black Sea called.<br />
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, forcing<br />
Valianska out of her home. She stayed in Spain with<br />
her sister and nieces before she and her husband,<br />
Andrii Semchuk, planned on making the United<br />
States their new home.<br />
Valianska made it to Iowa in August 2022 although<br />
Semchuk was not able to follow until November.<br />
Thankfully, Valianska did not have to travel alone.<br />
Funtik, her Scottish Fold cat, and Sonya, whose<br />
breed she does not know as she had found her in the<br />
street, stuck by Valianska’s side through some of the<br />
hardest parts of the journey.<br />
However, the cats caused some mischief of their<br />
own.<br />
“The big problem was because I traveled alone,<br />
because my husband came later, I traveled with<br />
two cats in one carrier. So, it was difficult because<br />
it was heavy, and it hurt,” Valianska said. “When we<br />
went through the security, I took them out of the<br />
carrier and my one cat, she was scratching me. So, I<br />
still have the scratches. But I’m here — with my two<br />
cats.”<br />
Once Valianska and Semchuk settled into their<br />
home in Orange City and greater Sioux County<br />
Ukrainian community, Valianska saw a need she<br />
grew passionate about fulfilling.<br />
“The closest shop with Ukrainian food is in Sioux<br />
Falls, so it’s far away from here,” she said. “What I<br />
was thinking was that we need here Ukrainian and<br />
European food because now we have about 150<br />
people from Ukraine here in Sioux County. And I<br />
know that most American people like Ukrainian<br />
food.”<br />
One of the things Valianska had to learn to live<br />

SIOUX CENTER—American<br />
Kennels, owned by Troy Smit of<br />
Sioux Center, has only been in<br />
business for a few months but is<br />
already seeing great success.<br />
Smit has been a sales representative<br />
for over four years for SDI, a<br />
company that sells and manufactures<br />
hog equipment. SDI sells a<br />
wide variety of products for swine<br />
but mostly focuses on feeders,<br />
drinkers and gates made of 304<br />
stainless steel.<br />
In his time with the company,<br />
many of his clients also asked<br />
about dog kennels, indoor and<br />
outdoor varieties.<br />
“In doing that process, I definitely<br />
saw there was a lot of interest<br />
in stainless steel dog kennels,”<br />
Smit said.<br />
American Kennels officially<br />
launched in October and serves<br />
as a side gig for Smit.<br />
His new business specializes<br />
in dog kennels made from 304<br />
stainless steel, which is classified<br />
by levels of corrosiveness it can<br />
handle.<br />
Smit said 304 stainless steel is<br />
durable and corrosion resistant,<br />
which makes it the top of the line<br />
for items like dog kennels and<br />
agricultural products.<br />
Because American Kennels<br />
uses such a high-quality metal,<br />
Smit is confident his business has<br />
the best product on the market.<br />
“Our durability is second to<br />
none,” Smit said.<br />
American Kennels’ slogan of<br />
“Man’s best friend deserves the<br />
best kennel” is a testament to<br />
Smit’s dedication to his craft.<br />
With the help of professional<br />
engineers, Smit can provide standard<br />
kennels and custom-made<br />
kennels with unique features<br />
rarely found elsewhere.<br />
On top of the basic, highquality<br />
kennel, customers can<br />
purchase rotating food and water<br />
bowls to be installed in the kennel,<br />
eliminating the need to open<br />
the door and risk an unplanned<br />
escape.<br />
American Kennels also offers a<br />
solid stainless steel privacy panel<br />
for dogs who may be more territorial<br />
than others.<br />
Also, the poles for the kennels<br />
are manufactured in such a way<br />
that the kennel can be expanded<br />
at a later date.<br />
This option is great for boarding<br />
facilities or customers who get<br />
another dog after buying the kennel.<br />
Smit knows his kennels do not<br />
come cheap, with an average<br />
price of $1600 but also knows<br />
people are willing to invest in<br />

“People that get them say it’s so<br />
well worth it,” Smit said.<br />
American Kennels has gained<br />
attention on social media, with<br />
aspiring dog kennel owners calling<br />
all the way from California.<br />

New medical practice offers<br />
options of where to get care<br />
Offers in-person home<br />
visits and telemedicine<br />
BY RENEE WIELENGA<br />
RWIELENGA@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />
SIOUX CENTER—A Sioux Centerbased<br />
nurse practitioner is looking<br />
to serve the community by offering<br />
in-person medical appointments<br />
whether she comes to your tractor<br />
in a field, your office or your living<br />
room.<br />
Kelli Joffer-Hinsch, 42, began<br />
Hinsch Health & Wellness six months<br />
ago and is working to grow her practice<br />
that includes telemedicine and<br />
in-person at-home appointments for<br />
those in need of a clinician.<br />
“My goal is to create access for<br />
patients who find it challenging to<br />
get to a provider during those hard<br />
days — for our hardworking farmer<br />
that has to bring the crop in and<br />
needs to be seen and cannot get into<br />
the clinic, to a nervous mom with<br />
a newborn who wishes to be in a<br />
more intimate location for a wellness<br />
check or it could just be someone<br />
is sick and would like to be seen in<br />
the comfort of their own home,” she<br />
said. “I want to bring the small-town<br />
feeling into my medical care and not<br />
have patients feel like I’m rushing to<br />
get to the next patient.”<br />
Joffer-Hinsch accepts various<br />
forms of insurance and cash pay.<br />
“I’ve partnered with patients who<br />
have a preferred primary care provider<br />
in the area or who have been<br />
looking for a new one to help serve<br />
their needs,” she said. “I see all ages,<br />
too.”<br />
The mother of four who is a native<br />
of Harrisburg, SD, has 20 years of<br />
health-care experience, starting<br />
with being a volunteer emergency<br />
medical technician for the Canton/<br />
Inwood squad while earning her<br />
nursing degree from Augustana University<br />
in Sioux Falls, SD.<br />
Upon graduation in 2005, she<br />
became a direct commission officer<br />
in the U.S. Army. She trained at<br />
Brooke Army Medical Center in San<br />
Antonio and then was stationed in<br />
Hawaii as part of her four years of<br />
active duty. She stayed working as a<br />
nurse in Hawaii for two more years<br />
after her Army duty, then returned to<br />
Harrisburg in 2011.<br />

leap of faith to take<br />
steps that support<br />
my family, and it has<br />
been a blessing.”<br />
KELLI JOFFER-HINSCH,<br />
FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER<br />
“When 9/11 happened, I was a<br />
freshman in college,” Joffer-Hinsch<br />
said. “A girl I went to college with had<br />
an aunt in one of the towers who died<br />
that day after just coming back from<br />
maternity leave. I knew I wanted to<br />
be a nurse, to serve others. My parents<br />
encouraged me to finish college,<br />
but I knew I wanted to be an Army<br />
medic to serve my country in that<br />
way. I learned quickly I had a lot to<br />
learn.”<br />
The nurse practitioner Joffer-<br />
Hinsch shadowed in high school<br />
and whose work convinced her that<br />
was the career path she wanted also<br />
advised her to be a nurse for a period<br />
of time after college before getting<br />
the nurse practitioner degree.<br />
“She said that the hands-on experience<br />
of being a nurse was so valuable;<br />
that I wouldn’t regret that, so I<br />
felt joining the Army was a way for<br />
me to gain a lot of experience, too,”<br />
Joffer-Hinsch said.<br />
Much of her work was with soldiers<br />
who had incurred massive trauma.<br />
“Here I am in my early 20s taking<br />
care of service members,” she said. “I<br />
still recall one of my first patients was<br />
a 97 percent burn victim. He asked<br />
me how a woman would ever love<br />
him. I told him I believe in God, that<br />
God has a plan, that he was here for<br />
a reason. He passed away about five<br />
years later, but he went on to help<br />
other patients in the States. There<br />
were more than 1,000 people at his<br />
funeral. He’s one of the many lessons<br />
of how I’ve seen God working<br />
through the broken and injured.”<br />
Back stateside, Joffer-Hinsch<br />
enrolled in South Dakota State<br />
University in Brookings to become<br />
a nurse practitioner. Afterward, she<br />
worked in various departments,<br />
from pediatric intensive care unit,<br />
cardiology, step-down ICU, general<br />
pediatrics and pediatric oncology.<br />
She worked as a nurse practitioner at<br />
a primary care provider in Worthington,<br />
MN, for five years following her<br />
graduation in 2016 before transitioning<br />
to Sanford Health in Sioux Falls,<br />
SD, to work in psychiatric care.<br />
Then the coronavirus pandemic hit<br />
in 2020.<br />
“I was a single parent trying to do<br />
home-school and questioned how<br />
I could feasibly work and take care<br />
of my one child at the same time,”<br />
Joffer-Hinsch said. “The answer was<br />
transitioning to doing home health<br />
Medicare evaluations in people’s<br />
homes.”<br />
By 2021, she moved to Sioux Center<br />
because she married Jason Joffer of<br />
Sioux Center, and they were expecting<br />
a child.<br />
She transitioned to doing hospitalist<br />
work in Sioux City through which<br />
she diagnosed and treated a wide<br />
variety of illnesses in patients who<br />
were admitted to the hospital.<br />
“Both of those roles were so educational,”<br />
Joffer-Hinsch said. “Through<br />
both types of work, I felt there was<br />
a lack of education and felt giving<br />
medicine was more reactive not proactive.<br />
During this time, she received the<br />
COVID-19 vaccine and encouraged<br />
her husband to receive the shot as<br />
well. Yet, within eight hours of receiving<br />
the shot, he was in the emergency<br />

appointments for those in need of a clinician. Photo by Renee Wielenga<br />
room with shortness of breath and<br />
fainting. They have gone through<br />
many different medical tests since.<br />
“The once healthy farmer can no<br />
longer farm or do much exertion due<br />
to his disability,” Joffer-Hinsch said.<br />
“Through all those things — the hospitalist<br />
work, the home evaluations,<br />
Jason’s battle — I felt the brokenness<br />
of the health-care system.”<br />
Still wanting to serve others while<br />
using her medical skills but also<br />
seeking the flexibility to be home,<br />
Joffer-Hinsch dreamed of becoming<br />
a home-based provider who could<br />
go to other homes for well checks to<br />
increase access and prevention.<br />
“I had heard about other providers<br />
around the country doing this,<br />
and it felt like the answer we were<br />
praying for. I had nothing to lose<br />
and everything to gain by starting<br />
Hinsch Health & Wellness,” she said.<br />
“I needed to take this leap of faith to<br />
take steps that support my family,<br />
and it has been a blessing.”<br />
Her services are available for those<br />
living within a 75-mile radius of Sioux<br />
Center, which extends to Sioux City,<br />
Sioux Falls and Worthington.<br />
Her website — hinschhealth.com<br />
— offers information of how to book<br />
an appointment, but Joffer-Hinsch<br />
also encourages anyone to text her<br />
or give her a call at 712-363-0643 and<br />
ask questions or if looking for someone<br />
to do a free evaluation of their<br />
medications or health goals.<br />
“I have loved living in Sioux Center;<br />
the schools are amazing as well as<br />
the people and the churches,” she<br />
said. “I hope this is one way I can be<br />
of service to the community who has<br />
supported us through a lot.”

Fairfield provides new, comforting hotel option in Sioux Center<br />
Sits right next to city’s<br />
Terrence View center<br />
BY ERIC SANDBULTE<br />
ESANDBULTE@NWESTIOWA.COM<br />
SIOUX CENTER—After a year of<br />
work to build, Sioux Center’s newest<br />
hotel, Fairfield by Marriott Inn &<br />
Suites, opened for guests May 30.<br />
It was a day property manager<br />
Henry Byl of Sioux Center was eager<br />
to see.<br />
Fairfield, located at 290 St. An -<br />
drews Way, is a neighbor to the Terrace<br />
View Event Center and boasts<br />
impressive views of The Ridge Golf<br />
Club. Its four-story structure with<br />
76 rooms is about the smallest scale<br />
the hotel the franchise allows. There<br />
also are rooms designed for those<br />
with hearing impairments.<br />
Fairfield has 22 employees, including<br />
full-time and part-time workers.<br />
Byl, who also runs the nearby Holiday<br />
Inn Express & Suites, said Sioux<br />
Center has demonstrated a need for<br />
more hotel rooms, which led to this<br />
project getting started.<br />
“When we have events in town,<br />
we are able to sell out. We just got<br />
to that point where we felt — it is a<br />
gut feeling that another hotel would<br />
work in town,” he said. “It just gets<br />
scary when you put this many more<br />
rooms up. The numbers are really<br />
hard to make work because we then<br />
need more people to come and stay<br />
to make this run effectively, but you<br />
just can’t build a hotel with much<br />
fewer rooms today.”<br />
Byl has been working in the hotel<br />
industry for 24 years, getting his<br />
start with the Econo Lodge in Sioux<br />
Center in 2000.<br />
Being part of opening the third<br />
hotel in Sioux Center has been an<br />
exciting process for Fairfield’s general<br />
manager, Lisa Gritters-Juranek,<br />
who has been with the Sioux Center<br />
Holiday Inn for nine years before<br />
taking on the management role for<br />
the new Fairfield hotel.<br />
“I just love working in hospitality,<br />
so even though it’s scary to switch, I<br />
did it,” she said. “I love working with<br />
people. So far, the employees have<br />
all been great.”<br />
The hotel’s interior design, officially<br />
called Modern Calm by the<br />
company, incorporates elements<br />
that evoke nature, with features<br />
such as wavy glass that looks like<br />
flowing water. This is meant to call<br />
back to the chain’s roots.<br />
“The first Fairfield was on a farm,<br />

and that’s why the drapes in the<br />
rooms have leaves on them and the<br />
carpet is blue like water. It’s all down<br />
to earth,” Gritters-Juranek said.<br />
The hotel comes with ample seating<br />
for its daily continental breakfasts,<br />
a swimming pool and a fitness<br />
center equipped with treadmills,<br />
ellipticals, weights and a yoga area.<br />
But management’s favorite feature<br />
is certainly the golf course view.<br />
“We did not think we could get<br />
on this lot because it wasn’t big<br />
enough,” Byl said. “We were shy by<br />
about 0.2 acres. Well, if you don’t fit,<br />
you don’t fit. But Sioux Center Land<br />
Development worked with us, and<br />
we were able to get a bit of the fescue<br />
of the golf course. It was just 30 feet,<br />
but without that, we wouldn’t have<br />
been able to be here.”<br />
If that had not worked out, the<br />
hotel likely would have been located<br />
on the other side of the street.<br />
“He already has the Holiday Inn<br />
Express with a golf course view, so<br />
we knew how much the guests love<br />
the golf course view. It was a nobrainer<br />
to be here,” Gritters-Juranek<br />
said.<br />
Byl is pleased with the end results<br />
of the building project, with the pop<br />
of colors throughout the hotel and<br />
the desirable location.<br />
“It looks really nice, and I love this<br />
spot. It sits up on a hill and you can<br />
really see it from a distance,” Byl<br />
said. “I didn’t have any other hotels<br />
where we had hallway windows as<br />
big as we have. You walk down our<br />
hallways, and it’s like, ‘Wow, there<br />
are some really nice views.’”<br />
The opening day was a bit later<br />
than originally planned. Early on,<br />
Fairfield was expected to open in<br />
April, but delays with the elevator<br />
pushed it back.<br />
“The elevator was scheduled to<br />
arrive on our site sometime in January,<br />
and it didn’t arrive until March<br />
18 or so. It takes about two weeks of<br />
work for each elevator, and we have<br />
two elevators. Then they had a few<br />
complications, which took another<br />

week and a half,” Byl said.<br />
Thankfully, recent severe weather<br />
did not damage the new building.<br />
During storms April 16, a tornado<br />
was spotted within view south of the<br />
hotel; in fact, a construction worker<br />
filmed it from the building’s fourth<br />
floor, posting it on social media.<br />
“This has been a long time coming,<br />
so this is a big deal,” Gritters-Juranek<br />
said. “It’s been exciting and fun to see<br />
it all come to fruition.”

New store in Orange City<br />
provides Ukrainian food<br />
Nataliia Valianska first flew to the United States through Denver and arrived at the Sioux Gateway<br />
Airport in Sioux City in August 2022. She was reunited with her husband, Andrii Semchuk,<br />
when he was able to fly into Sioux Falls Regional Airport in November 2022. Photo submitted<br />

— was speaking fluent English. She said<br />
she liked to travel around Europe when she<br />
lived in Ukraine, for which she knew basic<br />
English terms, but using it as a daily language<br />
is something Valianska said she is still learning.<br />
Having more than 100 other Ukrainian<br />
immigrants alongside her in the community<br />
makes that process a little bit easier.<br />
“Most Ukrainian people who live here know<br />
each other, and we are friends here,” Valianska<br />
said.<br />
Along with providing for the Ukrainian community,<br />
Valianska hopes her store will provide<br />
something new for outsiders as well.<br />

they are not as new and intimidating.<br />
Valianska has big plans to grow even further<br />
also.<br />
“I was thinking we need something to do<br />
here,” she said. “Maybe in the future we want<br />
to make some fresh baking here; maybe I will<br />
find some Ukrainians who can bake for our<br />
store, and we can sell their stuff.”<br />
AT A GLANCE:<br />
Business: Schedryck<br />
Owner: Nataliia Valianska<br />
Address: 105 Central Ave. SE, Orange<br />
City.<br />
Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Tuesday<br />
and Thursday-Friday; 10 a.m.-8 p.m.<br />
Wednesday; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday.<br />
Phone: 712-470-8166<br />
Online: Facebook<br />
With a wide future ahead of Schedryck and<br />
endless possibilities, Valianska is still celebrating<br />
the little successes.<br />
She anticipates new inventory — including<br />
dumplings, sauerkraut varieties and cured<br />
cheeses — arriving Thursday, June 20.<br />
The store name Schedryck is based on the<br />
Ukrainian song “Shchedryk,” or “Carol of the<br />
Bells.” Valianska said the name was fitting for<br />
her store since Ukrainians think of “Shchedryk”<br />
as a “Ukrainian treasure.”<br />
Schedryck just may become its own treasure<br />
to N’West Iowa.<br />
“Living in the U.S., it was my dream,” Valianska<br />
said.<br />
Schedryck opened on Wednesday, June 5, in downtown Orange City. The store offers Ukrainian<br />
and European foods, snacks and drinks. Owner Nataliia Valianska said she hopes the store can<br />
be a hub for other Ukrainian immigrants throughout Sioux County. Photo by Mikaela Mackey<br />
Sonya and Funtik are Nataliia Valianska’s two cats from Ukraine. She was able to bring them with<br />
her across the border when she flew into Sioux County in August 2022. The Ukrainian immigrant<br />
has since opened Schedryck, which offers Ukrainian foods, snacks and drinks. Photos submitted

Fred’s pumped to get<br />
award for recent sales<br />
Hospers business top seller<br />
for water furnace company<br />
HOSPERS—Fred’s Plumbing & Heating<br />
Inc. of Hospers has received the Gold Sales<br />
award from WaterFurnace International<br />
Inc., the leading manufacturer of geothermal<br />
and water source heat pumps.<br />
Presenting the awards were WaterFurnace<br />
president and CEO John Thomas,<br />
vice president of residential sales and marketing<br />
Bruce Cole, and western regional<br />
manager Pat Schipper during WaterFurnace’s<br />
annual sales meeting held April 3-5<br />
in Orlando, FL.<br />
“We’re delighted to receive this award,<br />
which is a testament to the hard work of<br />
our employees and their commitment to<br />
the comfort of our customers,” said Mark<br />
Falkena, president of Fred’s Plumbing &<br />
Heating. “It is exciting to watch not only<br />
our geothermal sales continue to grow, but<br />
to see the increased awareness and acceptance<br />
of the most efficient heating and<br />
cooling technology available. We appreciate<br />
the fact that WaterFurnace recognizes<br />
our efforts and our achievements.”<br />
Cole expressed his appreciation.<br />
“Congratulations on your well-deserved<br />
recognition as one of our top dealers and<br />
thank you for all you do to help WaterFurnace<br />
serve the geothermal market in your<br />
area,” he said.<br />
Fred’s Plumbing & Heating began selling<br />
WaterFurnace geothermal products in<br />
1993 and has watched that portion of its<br />
business grow as interest in geothermal<br />
energy has increased.<br />
Geothermal systems tap the completely<br />
renewable and unlimited supply of solar<br />
energy stored just a few feet below the<br />
earth’s surface and use that energy to drive<br />
heating and cooling systems in both residential<br />
and commercial buildings.<br />
In addition to potentially available<br />
federal, state and local tax incentives that<br />
enhance the affordability of geothermal<br />
systems, this cost-effective, environmentally<br />
friendly technology offers a host of<br />
benefits — from being the most efficient<br />
heating, ventilation and air conditioning<br />
solution available to significantly reduced<br />
carbon footprints and much more.<br />
Fred’s Plumbing & Heating has been<br />
providing “Quiet Comfort” since 1972<br />
and is a third-generation business. It is<br />
licensed in Iowa, Minnesota and South<br />
Dakota and provides service within a<br />
70-mile radius.<br />
Fred’s is the 11th largest WaterFurnace<br />
Dealer in the nation. This can be attributed<br />
to its highly trained service technicians<br />
who work tirelessly to provide their<br />
customers with the best possible service.<br />
WaterFurnace is a leading manufacturer<br />
of residential, commercial, industrial and<br />
institutional geothermal and water source<br />
heat pumps.<br />
Although it earned a reputation as a<br />
leader in geothermal heat pumps, Water-<br />
Furnace has worked in recent years to<br />
innovate new technologies, integrate key<br />
trends and grow the core business to represent<br />
a portfolio of clean and sustainable<br />
solutions. WaterFurnace was founded in<br />
1983, and the company is headquartered<br />
in Fort Wayne, IN.<br />

been rebranded to Post Manufacturing.<br />
The change — which took<br />
effect May 1 — is in name only,<br />

all remain the same.<br />
“We started Ironwood 53 in<br />
2015 as a manufacturing company<br />
to design and build parts<br />

industrial sector. As time has<br />
passed and the company has<br />
grown, it makes sense to bring<br />
the manufacturing side of the<br />
business under the Post name<br />
to provide continuity to our<br />
customers,” said Mike Post,<br />
