beyond BORDERS
with Mark Lloyd
Mark Lloyd gets all the book perks working at Borders. Our perk? We get the skinny about upcoming books ahead of everyone else. Elliot Allagash by Simon Rich
And Elliot has decided to help Seymour. Elliot wants to transform Seymour from Chunk Style to the most popular kid in school. He’s going to teach Seymour how to get an A in French class without ever learning one word of French. He’s going to get Seymour elected class president. He’s going to get Seymour on the basketball team. He’s even going to help Seymour snag the most popular girl in school. Yeah, there’s no way that Seymour is going to get in way over his head. So this book isn’t going to change the world. It’s a quick read. It’s fun and entertaining. It’s clever and witty. If that’s what you’re looking for right now in a book, then check it out.
by Jonathan Franzen This is the story of what happens when young people with ideals and morals get kicked in the face by the world and start making compromises. Yeah, I don’t know what that’s all about. I’m still living the dream, baby.
Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking is Undermining
What to watch for in August
Freedom Seymour Herson isn’t exactly the most popular kid in school. He isn’t exactly the star quarterback. He isn’t exactly good with the girls. He doesn’t even do well in school. His nickname is Chunk Style. Enter Elliot Allagash, heir to an empire. Elliot’s ancestor accidentally invented paper. The Allagashes own everyone. Elliot has been kicked out of a dozen prep schools. Elliot keeps a little notebook with the names of everyone who has ever crossed him. He sets up elaborate schemes to get even with these people. When he has destroyed them, he puts a little check mark next to their name.
America by Barbara Ehrenreich Barbara is taking on the American idea that being positive is the key to success in everything from religion to big business. She’s saying that it’s weakening our culture and even contributing to the economic crisis. Seriously, Barbara, with that negative attitude, this book is never going to be a bestseller.

a taste of SARCASM
with Dan Doyle Photo by Dan Thorson
Red Rossa Interestingly enough, as I am writing this column I am watching a new episode of “No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain”1 and eating cold leftover pizza from one of the “major” national chains. As I indulge in the cold, oily sustenance, I find myself asking – why do I eat this? Answer: convenience.2 One of my ultimate gripes in Sioux Falls is the lack of a true signature pizza establishment in town. In reality there are maybe four locally owned original pizza places that also make good pizza, but nothing is the signature establishment for the city. In my opinion, the hands down best pizza in Sioux Falls comes from Red Rossa. Located in the strip mall on the southeast corner of 41st Street and Western Avenue, Red Rossa is generally accessible to nearly everybody. And, despite being in a strip mall located on one of the busiest corners in Sioux Falls, the
14 | August 2010
physical location of Red Rossa does its best to maintain an intimate setting. Even the patio, which is a matter of feet away from 42nd Street, is protected, covered and well laid out. Where the appearance of Red Rossa truly shines, however, is with its interior. If you are left wondering what type of pizza parlor Red Rossa is from the exterior, there is no doubt left when you walk inside. For starters, there are piles of chopped wood stacked right inside the door and stacked below the counter. Maintaining a color spectrum of reds, yellows and oranges, the presence of fire is evident.3 What brings me true joy, however, is the open pizza assembly line, complete with flying dough and a viewable woodburning oven, which is rolling out the best crust in town.4 The catch phrase for Red Rossa is “charred and blistered to perfection.”5 Yes, the key to the incredible Red Rossa flavor is the wood-roasted crust.6 The wood roasting makes all the difference. The crust is that of a hybrid New York style. It is stretchy and chewy, yet there is a full, smoky flavor and just the right amount of crunch on the edges. It is the perfect conduit for bringing toppings to your mouth. Speaking of the toppings, Red Rossa has just about everything under the sun. From the standard fare to things like capicola, prosciutto, arugula, capers, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. Also, there are several unique cheeses like feta, fontina, goat, gorgonzola, and smoked mozzarella. Although their sauce is nothing extravagant by itself, Red Rossa is not shy about adding things like whole leaf basil, chopped garlic and oregano for a dynamic pizza experience. The list of toppings and cheeses are all well and good, but the thing Red Rossa really has going for it are its Signature Pizzas. They include self-explanatory pizzas like Ham & Pineapple7, Quatro Formaggi (4 Cheese), Veggie and BBQ Chicken, which are not uncommon in other restaurants. But, other specialties like the Roman (kalamatas, creminis, garlic, oregano, romas, roasted peppers, feta and smoked mozza), Gabagool (capicolla, pepperocini, green olives, basil, red pepper flakes, and fresh mozza), and the Napoli (pepperoni, spinach, garlic, basil, pepperocini and fresh mozza) are a few examples. Inevitably, when I order, I always start with a Signature Pizza and then end up adding more toppings for a personal touch.8 Personal is another key word here – these pizzas are personal. They only come in one size: 12 inches. Thus, they are great for couples wanting to add a side salad or for one
hungry individual.9 Although the price ends up being a little high for an individual, say for lunch, they do have daily specials. In particular, they run a special every day that includes a salad and a half-size one topping pizza for $4.99. In addition, on Mondays after 4 p.m. you can get a third pizza free with the purchase of two others. To compliment the pizza, Red Rossa offers other options like pizza-bread or cheese bread with marinara, several signature salads, salad a libretto (salad in pizza bread – think pita), and various gelato and sorbet for a sweet tooth. There is also a very respectable beer and wine list. For pizza with a personal touch, you cannot go wrong with Red Rossa. Oh, and they have informed me that some great changes to Red Rossa are on the way, so keep a lookout.
Final Grade FOOD 4/5 – The crust is the best, the topping varieties are plentiful, and the cheese is great. There isn’t a ton of variety outside of pizza and salad, but there is enough variety to satisfy a diverse crowd. SERVICE 4/5 - Walk in. Order at the counter. Take a number. Your food is delivered to your table in a few minutes. Simple. ATMOSPHERE 5/5 – Seating is ample. The décor is fitting and it embraces the wood fire element. Also, I am always digging the tunes they are playing.
1) Have I told you guys how much I like his work? 2) See also: Sloth, laziness, apathy, hangover from a three-day bachelor party in Chicago, and Sunday depression. 3) Listen to me using phrases like color spectrum. You would think I had dined here with an interior designer… 4) Without a doubt. 5) Spot on. Somebody took Marketing 101… 6) The words “wood roasted” might as well be a giant flashing sign in my face that reads “EAT ME. I AM GOOD!” 7) For you wretched people that like fruit on your pizza… Oh, and don’t come back with “well a tomato is a fruit.” You know what I mean. 8) I can never have enough toppings on a pizza - particularly anything involving pork products or peppers. 9) Me. In fact, on a good day, I can usually get down a side salad or some cheese bread as well. Honestly, any way that I can get more of the pizza-bread here, the better. Just add a little olive oil and cracked pepper and you have a masterpiece.

For the first time, a unique arts and music festival will be held August 21 at the Deep Creek Honey Farm in Wall Lake. According to Deep Creek Honey’s Haley Deffenbaugh, “This festival is a ‘grassroots effort’ to create awareness for local artists, local musicians and local beekeepers. Artists, musicians, beekeepers, gardeners, environmentalists, and all around great folks who support the community and care about the future of our Earth are welcome to share
Aug. 20 | Brandi Carlile Sioux Falls Orpheum Theatre 7 p.m. Give Up The Ghost, Brandi Carlile’s third album, unveils her talents in their truest form. After two albums and non-stop touring, she has let her guard down and offers her most candid recording to date. If the phrase “give up the ghost” most often refers to death or dying, it can also be used to describe the passing of stages in life, of transformation. “They say it takes you your whole life to write your first record, and in our case the first two records, and that you have to write your second record in just a matter of months. So we went into the songwriting process conscious of that, and really made an effort to just leave ourselves behind. We wrote about life, the world, how we felt, how we will feel. In that sense, these songs are like time travelers in that they exist on a much more ethereal plane, and that’s what ‘give up the ghost’ means to us,”

the experience.” Musicians Sam Hall, Space Cats, Small Town Anthem, The Tinder Box and Sonic Screwdriver will entertain the crowd all day. Patrons can go around to booths to see and purchase local art, raw honey and more. The family-friendly event will have games like bag-o, horseshoes and putt putt golf. Along with art and music is the green niche of the festival. August 21 is National Honey Bee Awareness Day, which is now more important than ever. Around 2007 bees suddenly began disappearing by the thousands, and according to an article by National Geographic, task forces have been helping farmers who rely on bee pollina-
tion for their crops. A screening of the documentary Vanishing of the Bees will be shown during the day, along with a tour of the farm’s backyard apiary to view the workings of the beehives and learn about natural beekeeping. There will be info how to help save the bees such as starting your own bee garden, urban beekeeping and more. Deep Creek Honey Farm is a family business operated by hobbyist beekeepers that have been keeping the bees for over two decades. The Wall Lake Bee Festoon is free and goes from 2 p.m. until dark. For more information, call (605) 940-3455.
Carlile explained. The recording of Give Up The Ghost offered new experiences including working with the likes of Elton John, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers multi-instrumentalist Benmont Tench, drummer Chad Smith and Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls, all of whom contribute to the album. After debuting with a self-titled album in 2005, the Washington S t a t e - b re d Carlile saw her fanbase m u s h ro o m with her sophomore disc, The Story. Among the growing legion of Carlile fans
is Elton John. “Brandi has an amazing voice,” he said. “She’s a great songwriter and has a tremendous career ahead of her.” Proudly, Carlile said that John – who duets with her on the song “Caroline” – played a key a role in her evolution as an
artist: “When I was 11, I started listening to country and western music and I was totally immersed in that Grand Ole Opry culture, wherein the entertainers are usually not the ones who wrote the music. But when I discovered Elton John, I realized that performers could write and perform their own songs, and I immediately went out and got a keyboard, and started writing.” She was too starstruck to tell him that when they recorded together. “I was just overwhelmed by the years, and by the influence that somebody can have on another person’s life without even knowing it.” Her second album, The Story, upped the ante considerably, selling 313,000 copies and rising to No. 41 on the Billboard albums chart, and boasting songs like the title track and “Turpentine.” Several of Carlile’s songs have appeared in commercials and on televisions shows such as Grey’s Anatomy. Along the way, she’s toured with the likes of Ray LaMontagne, and Sheryl Crow, who raved about Carlile’s support performances online: “She has the most amazing voice I may have ever heard. Soulful. Country. Perfect in every way – and propelled by taste.” With all that encouragement and experience under her belt, when Carlile set out to make Give Up The Ghost, she did so with ample ambition: “When we recorded The Story, we set up our instruments with one drummer, like a stage, and we treated the record like a show, and we recorded that performance. This is the first time we treated something like a record. We really dug in, and chose musicians, and instruments, and set-ups very specifically to each song. We didn’t go halfway on anything.” Carlile brings along special guest Katie Herzig when she plays the SF Orpheum on Friday, August 20. Tickets available at all Ticketmaster locations,

profiles IN SOUND Aug. 7 | Super Happy Funtime Burlesque | Club David 7 p.m. Imagine you are at your neighborhood burlesque show. It’s just ending. The show was good, your friends had a great time, you head over to the merch table to get your name on their e-mail list. Suddenly the lights flare up, sirens start blaring, and armed police officers come flooding into the room and allow no one to leave. Sound odd or out of this world? Not for Super Happy Funtime Burlesque. The above is an actual incident, which occurred at SHFB’s third-ever performance at the Sazerac Lounge in Grand Rapids, Mich. “It was insane,” said Corey Ruffin, host and bandleader of the show. “Cops were everywhere, they detained the cast, searched every room, started interrogating the audience, we didn’t know what the hell was going on.” What was going on? The officers of this somewhat conservative and rather culturally devoid small Michigan city were acting under the presumption that a burlesque show was, as the officers told Mr. Ruffin, “a live sex show with caged animals.” “They were looking for a sad puppy sitting in the corner, weeping and clutching a bloody handkerchief,” laughed Ruffin, with eyes ablaze. Five years after the above incident, SHFB has been through a lot in their bible belt town. Lots of fights with city government and local churches, conferences with the American Civil Liberties
18 | August 2010
Union, and lots of great press from controversy money couldn’t buy. Now SHFB boasts itself as the biggest and most successful burlesque show of the Midwest. Weekly shows from Chicago to Detroit and even Michigan’s upper peninsula bring the fans out in massive droves to see their bawdy and sexy brand of musical theater and their performers seamlessly and easily blend striptease with original music, sex and comedy perhaps the only true burlesque show in the nation. So now comes the time for a national tour. But how does a Midwestern DIY work of musical theater break onto the national scene? You ask your fans to in-
vest $20,000 into the show. “I knew we could do it,” said Ruffin. “We had the fans, we had the support; it was just a matter of making the case. And they did. Using the popular kickstarter fundraising Web site, SHFB embarked on something a little sexier than an NPR pledge drive. With packages that included incentives like dirty songs written about the donor, coy photos and personalized shows at an event of their choice; the SHFB crew quickly and easily raised the money necessary to take an 18-member crew, cast and band on the road and to your city. “We’re thumbing our nose in the face
of a dying and out of touch entertainment industry. While record labels and entertainment outlets scratch their heads and wonder why their mindless pap isn’t generating the dollars they expected, we are doing what they forgot to do long ago, listen to the fans.” If the fans are right, Super Happy Funtime Burlesque is a show not to be missed. With a live and eccentric eightmember orchestra, out-of-this-world burlesque dancers, and a team of comedians that forage confidently into a new and bold style, SHFB bridges a gap in entertainment that has been long empty. Fans young and old, from all walks of life, are clamoring to see more from this new and exciting show. SFHB rolls through Sioux Falls on Saturday, August 7 at Club David. The 21+ show begins at 7 p.m. and advance tickets are $8 at Club David, Ernie November’s 41st Street location, and www.collectiveeffortsunion.com.

Our green wagon, long and low, navigates the Prairie’s infinite black snake. With interlocked limbs, we fill the flank Of that wood paneled beast as it tames The tar serpent.
Balad Oppression. Head down, hands high, chest on ground. See the wilting trees.
A bright blue streak crosses my view. It lifts us off desolate Highway 12, And we follow it. Passing planes and planets and stars we fly Dipping and darting through the blackness.
My soul aches for home. Deafening blast shakes my pod. Hi Mom, all is well.
The moonless night covers me. It gives weight to my eyelids. “Sleep now,” the tires sing, And I cuddle under night’s warm wing.

Find your purpose here. The scorpion beats spider. Welcome to Balad. No event today. Tuck in shirt. Wear IBA. C-RAM wakes from rest.
album REVIEW Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Mojo by Manny Fraker In a world full of icy-cold, bitter rockn-roll attitudes, Tom Petty is a steaming hot cup of coco. If you have followed his historic career, you have to wonder how this man continues to get better. No he doesn’t follow the trend, he is the trend setter. He is the pacemaker, and he will remind you “it’s good to be king” even if it’s “just for a while.” Since his last effort with the Heartbreakers (2002’s The Last DJ) Mr. Petty has given us two dynamite records. In 2006 Tom Petty release a solo album entitled Highway Companion, which still gives me chills just saying the name. It made those who were under satisfied with The Last DJ to believe in him again (I for one like both records
quite a bit, but understand the masses and their relief). Then, in the summer of 2007, Petty reunited with his other band from the 70’s, Mudcrutch, and they release a self-titled record later in 2008. The Mudcrutch release was another savvy note to his career that is now entering another decade maybe as strong as ever. The powerful blues-rock explodes immediately with opening cut “Jefferson Jericho Blues” driven by some amaz-
ing harmonica work by Scott Thurston. Erie sounds lace the fourth track “The Trip to Pirates Cove,” which once again reinstates Mr. Petty on top of the pile of master storytellers. “Candy” adds that carefree touch of humor that Petty always seems to add to everything he touches. Track eight, “U.S. 41,” slowly builds and bops into an ultra blues jam. The next track “Taking My Time” rings of the deep South blues sound that Petty grew up loving. “Lovers Touch” continues the bluesy fire that smolders throughout this amazing release. Well done, Mr. Petty. The rock world thanks you for being you.

The first annual 605 Summer Classic, presented by Sanford Health and Wells Fargo, looms near. Discontent to be confined to the page, 605’s mission to unite and promote Sioux Falls in general (and its young adults in particular) has manifested into an all-day experience designed to showcase the spectrum of independent music created by our peers, allies and neighbors. Slated to be situated in the parking lot of the stylish 8th & Railroad Center, the Summer Classic will go down on August 14 running from 2 to 11:30 p.m. In addition to the plethora of local music, The Sioux Falls Roller Dollz will have their first-ever outdoor bout at the event. In an effort to glean some insight at the momentum building for the Summer Classic, I sat down with members from each of the eight groups fated to rock the parking lot — Erin Toft of the sensuous, confidently sparse A Ghostwood Calm; Tom Weismantel of the techy, poppy Welcome to the Cinema; Bryan Wehrkamp of the ambient, sonically satiating Avian Sunrise; Paul Tims of the acoustic, Mellencampesque Nick Rallis Band; V the Noble One, a rapper known for his driving, deliberately delivered lyricism who will appear with Trey Lane and AdApt (all representing Flame On Entertainment); Eli Show of the melodic, chaotic We All Have Hooks for Hands; Billy Yost of the hooky, engulfing Chicago-based expats The Kickback; and Corey Gerlach of the infectious, effervescent hip hop outfit Soulcrate Music. I was curious to learn what the Sioux Falls music scene looks like to such an assorted group of young artists – what they like about it, whether they think we’re on the right track, and what can be done to make it as much as we imagine it can be.
22 | August 2010
Denise: What’s good about music in Sioux Falls? Billy: The Rubber Gloves and all the work The Collective Efforts Union puts into trying to generate interest in local groups. Bryan: I like the Sioux Falls scene because it’s really diverse. There’s not really a particular sound. Every show you go to there’s gonna be a decent draw to it. For the 605 Classic, they’ve put together a very diverse group. You have something for everyone. You have hip hop, indie rock, piano rock…I like the Sioux Falls music scene. It’s tough at times. It jumps up and down, but it’s pretty cool, I think. Paul: It seems like a lot of bands in the area aren’t just punk rock or acoustic rock or hip hop. Since we’re a small community- a small circle of friends- we rub off on one another. V: My answer changes daily. What I like about the scene right now is that it’s hard. If you’d asked me two weeks ago, I’d probably be complaining about how it’s hard. I like that it’s hard, particularly for rap, because I’m not East Coastbound anymore. I’m not Southern-bound or West Coastbound. Here you really have the opportunity to make the best, most creative music that is influenced by all of those things, but not in a box. Because it’s so hard here, because there’s not as much fanfare, because we have to work so much harder, I find that when we go to other cities they’re blown away by what we do. That’s because, quite honestly, their people don’t work as hard. Their people don’t entertain as much. They just get up and play. You really have to put it in. This is a good training ground. When we go other places, it shows.
Eli: That’s true. You have to bring it. It’s interesting, being from the Midwest. You’re not from a place that everyone knows. You’re not from New York. No one knows what you’re gonna do when you get onstage. There’s no preconceived notion, so you have the opportunity to actually take them. Tom: I’m with you guys. What I like about the scene is that it seems really young still. Like there’s constantly new evolutions popping up. I feel like this is a shameless plug, but
605 Magazine and those kinds of things seem really new to me, and it doesn’t seem like it’s been overly established. It doesn’t seem like it’s going to judge you too rapidly or anything like that. As long as you bring it, you can get established around here. Corey: I think the thing that is most distinctive about our scene is that everybody’s just friends. The bands even are friends as bands, because they enjoy playing together. Erin’s a prime example. You’ll see her play sometimes with a few different groups in one night or over the course of the weekend. If you’re going for the whole community thing, friendships are strong. I think people support each other a great deal here even though we don’t have the largest music scene by any means. I think we’re supportive of each other. Erin: I was thinking exactly the same thing, but I’ve noticed that while we’re all kind of friends in this musical community, the music has changed a lot. Right now I’m playing with Tim Jewell and Friends, but when I first met Tim Jewell he was playing in a metal band. Now we’re playing folk music, so it seems like our tastes are starting to mature and we’re all into the roots music, but it all stems from one central place… Corey: We all started as friends in the all-ages punk scene… Erin: Basement shows starting in the mid-‘90s. We’ve been going to these things for a long time. Everybody’s developing and going in their own directions, but they’re also able to appreciate what everybody else is putting out there. Corey: We all go to each other’s shows, regardless of what style of music it is. Erin: That’s one really nice thing that we’ve noticed here. People from your group go to shows that no one would think they’d be into, but regardless if they are or not, they’re there to be supportive. continued on pg. 24 605magazine.com | 23
continued from pg. 23
Denise: What does the future hold for the Sioux Falls music scene and what challenges stand in the way? Corey: I see it going through five more venues in the next five years. Up and down. I don’t know. It’s hard to tell. Sioux Falls is one of the fastest growing cities in America. You just never know. What I’d like to see are more young people, more young bands coming up. I feel like we’ve lost that a lot. I think about when we were growing up and it seemed like everyone was starting a new band every week. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I think technology ruined us in a sense. It’s like people think, ‘Why make music when I can just take it all the time and have such access to everything?’ People don’t tend to work together to make music together anymore for some reason. I’d just like to see more young kids coming up- bands or groups or whatever- but just involved in it at a younger age. Paul: This generation of kids coming up are saying, ‘I’d
rather play Guitar Hero than learn how to play guitar. DIY is too much work.’ Eli: We need younger kids. I mean, we’re all the same age. I don’t know one little kid band out there. Bring the kids. Tell them they can do it. Erin: I think we need that, too, because we all play a lot of 18+ shows and the only venues that we seem to have in this town are bars. We don’t get to see young people’s groups. Whether they’re happening or not, kids don’t get to play most venues, because they can’t get in. Corey: That’s why the Summer Classic is such a great thing. It’s all age for the family – and I can still have a beer. continued on pg. 29

Soulcrate Music A rap trio from Sioux Falls, Soulcrate Music has quickly become one of the regions favorite sources for creative music and high-energy live shows. Fans can look forward to a full set of music, sans fire extinguishers.
The Kickback
7:35 PM
We All Have Hooks For Hands
6:30 PM
The Kickback is primarily a group of South Dakotans living in Chicago. The band’s continually evolving sound and penchant for choir-inspired harmonies and intertwining guitar lines has found growing success in its new home. Indie rock at its finest can be expected.
Flame On Entertainment
5:35 PM
8:40 PM 10:00 PM
the program
Avian Sunrise
A self-built/self-taught recording studio resulted in the addition of multiple amiable pals hailing from as far as Freeman, SD. The result is a full band with a radiant sound, which includes dueling drummers, a violinist, three guitars, two horn/keyboard players, and a lonely bass. The dedicated group of friends, fans and musical enthusiasts at every show is proof of the groups dedication to creating a fun experience for everyone.
Flame-On is a group bound by a love of hip-hop. Trey Lane, V the Noble One and AdApt bring true Midwest hip-hop chops as they light up the stage with their different styles intertwining.
Under two years since its inception, the Sioux Fallsbased piano-rock group Avian Sunrise has made quite a name for itself. This talented five-some has opened for national touring acts such as Owl City, Lydia, Silverstein, and Quietdrive.
4:40 PM
Nick Rallis Band
4:00 PM
Sioux Falls Roller Dollz VS. No Coast Roller Girls
3:50 PM
A Ghostwood Calm
3:00 PM
Welcome to the Cinema
The Nick Rallis Band is an Independent acoustic/rock/pop band from South Dakota established by Nick Rallis in 2008. Each member has an extraordinary amount of musical vision and talent that, when put together, create amazing harmonies and a multidimensional sound.
Going into their fifth season, the pink and black ladies of destruction are excited to hold their firstever live outdoor bout. A bitter taste was left in their mouths from the last meeting with the No Coast Roller Girls; it is time for a little revenge. The Dollz do a lot for the Sioux Falls community, often by donating proceeds to local charities. Come help them cut a big check to Almost Home Canine Rescue and Sioux Falls SNIP!
With a six-piece band they have four songwriters, so they’ve been able to come up with a stockpile of songs rather quickly. Each song has its own uniqueness, and because of that they have a hard time describing their music to anyone. It’s definitely rock-influenced, be it alternative or indie.
This five-piece indie rock group loves to perform, and it is obvious by the energy they bring to the stage. Based out of Brookings, they look for some continued and well-deserved success in Sioux Falls where some of the band resides.

continued from pg. 24 Paul: It would be good to have a couple more venues that are all ages. I think every time we’ve played in Sioux Falls, it’s been 21+. I used to be a teacher and the kids that I taught couldn’t come and watch us play. Corey: It’s unfortunate, but the only way we can pull off all-age shows is to put tons of money into them. There is so much overhead cost that you can’t afford to do it, because you’re paying for the production, you’re paying for the space, and you can’t charge fifteen bucks to a bunch of 14-year-old kids. You want to charge five bucks, but then you end up not making back the amount of money that you put into it.
Denise: How can we change the scene for the better? Erin: We need a Miss Havisham to come in and fund it. C’mon [T.] Denny Sanford. This is your opportunity. Corey: I’ll give you a statue. I’ll build it myself. Paul: I thought I’d start a relationship with Lady Gaga. Corey: Then it’d be more of a circus than anything. Billy: Appoint August ‘Instrument Awareness Month’ and bomb 1994, because general public apathy in regard to bands who play their instruments and continuing comparisons to “the scene” in 1994 is outstandingly unproductive. Eli: Sioux Falls is kind of the challenge. The city doesn’t like us. They’ve never liked us. They shut down The Pomp Room, then we moved to smaller shows – The Actor’s Studio, KC Hall…thank god for Nutty’s. I think it’s a good home right now, but for a long time, we couldn’t do all-age shows. How are you gonna bring up kids in a scene if you don’t let them see the music? Someone has to tell kids…I mean, we all started sucking at guitar, but we got up onstage and did it anyway. Thank God they did that vote. We can have 18+ shows now. We can have all-age shows, finally. I think it’s one of the most important things. A show isn’t just an event to get drunk at. It’s an event to enjoy music. V: I’ve noticed that there’s more listeners than fans. On the whole, listeners are the ones who come to your show and you’ll maybe see them not move the entire time. Then, when you get off, they’ll be like, ‘I loved that! That was great. I love what you do.’ Then you’re saying to yourself, ‘Then why weren’t you doing anything?’ It’s because they’re not fans. They’re not fanatics for music. Like me, if I go the whole day without listening to something, it’s a problem – like not having my coffee or something. It’s not like that for
a lot of people now, because everything’s so manufactured. Musically, it’s tough. I’m 29 and musically that makes me one of the elder statesmen – definitely for rap around here. We’ve gone through the cycle so many times. Like when I was originally with The Noblemen, then we became The Young Nobles, then with Flame On and then with Trey [Lane]. You know, trying to help him skip those things I had to go through is one of my proudest things – helping him avoid some of the nonsense. It was like we had to lay brick. We had to build the house that we live in. Tom: We’ve been a band long enough to see the comings and goings of fan bases. One show will be packed and then the next one, there’s nothing. The town seems to lack a consistent fan base of people who like music for the sake of liking music. You hate to have the same 30 people come out, because they’re your groupies or whatever. It’d be really nice if Sioux Falls had a group of people who were passionate about going to shows and that kind of stuff, but there doesn’t really seem to be that. Bryan: I’ve even noticed, in the year and a half that we’ve been a band, we’ve had really big shows and then the next one is like, ‘Whoa, I thought we were gaining ground here.’ I think that’s kind of what comes with the Midwest. Tom: I think Sioux Falls is small enough that if you keep improving and pushing limits, you can get pretty established in this area and start drawing a good crowd. Eli: We have to make them want to come and see shows. You know, start doing bigger things. Have more bands, so it’s not like ‘We’ve listened to these guys twenty times already. We don’t care.’ As older bands, we have to keep getting better and better. Tickets for the 605 Summer Classic can be purchased for $10 at the 41st Street Ernie November, both Last Stop CD Shops, or online at The Collective Efforts Union Web site, www.collectiveeffortsunion.com. Tickets will be $12 at the gate. To listen to audio, watch the performers in action or get more information on the event, check out www.605summerclassic.com.

he said SHE SAID
Image by Candace Ann Photography
It’s all about the he said, she said bull… you get it. Lady Tove and Sir Mammenga are here to cut the middle man and give straight-up answers for relationships from a male and female perspective. 1.) So my boyfriend was picking me up to go to a casual party with him. When he got to my house he asked why I wasn’t wearing a skirt. I told him that I hated skirts and never wear them. He got this weird look on his face and said matter-offactly, “All girls wear skirts.” The rest of the night was a disaster. What should I do? I don’t want to wear skirts, but I don’t want this to happen again. -Brittany
T: Different strokes for different folks. That’s all. I used to argue that I hated expectations; however, I have been cor-
When you say the rest of the night was a disaster, I’m not sure what you mean by that. It could mean that he kept telling you to go to the kitchen and make you a sandwich – which would mean he’s a chauvinistic pig and you should probably cut your losses and move on – or maybe he kept asking every girl there if she wears skirts and how another girl could possibly not enjoy it, which might not be the best thing in the world, but at least he was trying to wrap his head around this new mind-blowing factoid. In the end, it’s really up to you to decide if this guy really, truly expects you to enjoy wearing skirts and if you really, truly want to be with a guy with that type of ridiculous expectation. M: Well Brittany, if I’m the first to give you advice on this situation, let me tell you matter-of-factly, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! This could quite possibly be the most bizarre question I have ever received. This guy sounds like a complete control freak. Now, usually I’m a huge proponent of talking things out and working out your differences, but in this case you just need to cut ties right away. This guy sounds like the creepy mustache guy from Sleeping with the Enemy. We all know how that ended; and, it was an ending that you do not want. The thing is, if a person is controlling early on in a relationship, they will always be controlling. It starts with how you look or dress and evolves into controlling every aspect of your life, from telling you who you can hang out with to rearranging the cupboards.
rected that ALL expectations are not hate-worthy, but this case is one that makes the cut. Your man has this unfounded expectation that all women should wear skirts, and I hate it. Thing is, there is no law written in stone that requires all women to enjoy wearing skirts, and for him to expect that is illogical. At the same time, this may be a new discovery to him, and this being the first time he’s really taken a moment to realize all girls really don’t wear skirts probably threw him off his game a bit.
30 | August 2010
Now, I am a huge fan of a woman looking her best in formal situations; however, nowhere in the “looking good” handbook does it say skirts are the end all be all. You can wear whatever makes you feel sexy or good looking. For God’s sake get rid of this guy! I don’t want you ending up brainwashed and drinking the “Kool-Aid” to hop a ride to “heaven” on the tail of a comet.
2.) I have been dating a girl for a month and she made me a scrapbook with quotes and photos of us. It kind of creeps me out. Doesn’t it seem too much too soon, or am I wrong? -Anonymous
T: Quotes? Like what? ‘That was a delicious brownie. I want to eat here again,’ or ‘Your eyes are beautiful when the lightning flashes in them?’ Either way… I think boundaries of normalcy have been crossed. OK, maybe we’re both being a bit harsh, so I’ll ease up for a minute: taking photos of each other together is acceptable, and giving them to the other person in a presentable manner is just dandy. However, to have an entire scrapbook put together after only one month makes me wonder when she sleeps. But I guess I’m not being fair because I simply can’t relate: I hate scrapbooking. I can’t think of a more excruciating way to spend my time, but some people are really into it and do this sort of thing all the time. So maybe she isn’t so weird after all. Regardless, if it made you feel awkward, you have to tell her; otherwise, you’re going to end up an old widower in a room with 5,794 scrapbooks and a kitty named Sugar.
M: No, you are not wrong. This is the exact description of an ultra-clingy individual. It is extremely difficult to make lasting memories in that amount of time, let alone memories worth scrapbooking. Now, this is not always the case. I have known people that have fallen completely head-overheels in a short period of time. The difference is in that situation both people felt it. The fact that you are writing in tells me that you are not feeling it as much. That’s fine. One month is such a short period of time and it’s normal that you wouldn’t be in the “scrapbook” phase yet. So don’t sweat that part. You need to tell her to pump the breaks; and, that is the part that you should be sweating. This is never an easy task. When you do tell her that she needs to slow her roll, it is going to most likely hit the fan. Calmly explain your feelings and hope for the best. That’s all you can really do. From that point it is out of your hands. Being honest with each other is what gets you to the scrapbooking moments down the road. Have a question for Tove and Mammenga?

What is the best way to break up with someone if you are a f r a i d o f t h e i r r e a c t i o n ? “I have never changed my appearance for someone I’m dating... although after a while you get to learn each other’s style and what meshes and what matches.” - Ashley Danielle

why don’t ya DO SOMETHIN’? Harlequin Studio Printernship
Images by Studio Blu Photography
For those who are interested in experiencing something new and who want to feel a sense of accomplishment, being a printern at Harlequin Studio could be the ticket. What is a printern? A printern is someone who helps Harlequin Studio’s creative heads Andrew Osborn and Andrew Brynjulson (otherwise known as “The Andrews”) create limited edition screen prints for events and concerts, such as Modest Mouse and Mason Jennings. Whether you sign up by yourself or as a group, “The Andrews” are always looking for help. Brynjulson described having printerns as twofold, because Harlequin gets an extra set of hands, while those involved get to go through the intimate experience in the space and learn about the process. “You become involved and it becomes yours,” Brynjulson said. For those who aren’t familiar with screen-printing, Osborn describes it as “refined stencil making.” Brynjulson joked they’re halfway between a painting and Kinko’s because they aren’t pushing a but-
32 | August 2010
ton to mass produce them, but they typically create up to 50 original prints each edition. “The more you do, you kind of drag down your edition,” Brynjulson explained. But how is it made? The main tools for screen-printing are screens, a squeegee, chemicals, emulsion, water, an image, and a table. From there, each color (Harlequin Studio typically uses three to six) has a layer that needs to be coated on each poster one by one. With all of the painting, rinsing and drying, each edition can take up to four to six hours. With that said, Osborn pointed out two other important elements for screen-printing: “Time and patience.” Harlequin Studio, located in the basement of the Falls Center building downtown, became home for Osborn and Brynjulson recently in late May. The two heads of this new creative outlet never imagined they would have this project together, considering they tried their entire college careers to separate their duel identities. They were both named Andrew, had the same major, lived in the same dorms, both attended the same classes at Augustana College, and both had the same artistic styles. “Our portfolios were eerily similar,” said Brynjulson. After graduation, both began working at agencies across the street from one another (Fresh Produce and Astronaut Studio). Missing a creative outlet for screen-printing, and embracing their similarities, Harlequin Studio naturally fell into place. “Everything about Harlequin grew organically. Nothing was forced,” Osborn said. Harlequin Studio is another piece of the art community’s puzzle. Their main goal is to inform people of the process, uniqueness and fun of screen-printing. Original screen prints from Harlequin Studio can typically be found to purchase at Collective Efforts Union shows (check www.collectiveeffortsunion.com for updates). To sign up to be a printern, visit their official Web site at www. harlequinprints.com, and don’t be alarmed by their random questions on the application. “It’s a way to disarm people,” Osborn said. The best part? Each printern gets to leave with a screen print they helped create. It’s safe to say each piece by Harlequin is much more than just an average poster. “It’s a lot richer once you know the back story,” said Brynjulson.
Ips-o-mat: esthetic apparel If you are interested in “contemp-o-weary” t-shirts, the Ipso Gallery in the Fresh Produce office downtown will have the Ips-O-Mat reception on August 13. Hosted by Fresh Produce interns (a.k.a. Famous for Meats), Ips-O-Mat will be a collaboration of seven local artists and three students, which will be printed by interns themselves to create fine art t-shirts. Intern Kat Burdine said the display is playing off of the idea of the “o-mat,” as it involves a few layers of production and vending. “We will have artists create t-shirts that will be for sale during the event, and we will be featuring South Dakota’s first and only Art-O-Mat,” Burdine said. The Art-O-Mat is a refurbished cigarette vending machine that vends out original pieces of art supplied by national artists, rather than cigarette cartons. Artists will be introduced to the realm of screen-printing and will use the method to create an original product on a t-shirt. “Using familiar techniques, artists will be able to produce a three-color piece, using drawing, painting and design that will be printed by Famous for Meats interns,” said Burdine. The idea is to make fine art as accessible, interactive and fun as possible.

get(ting) involved: HEATHER MANGAN
HEADS TO AFRICA by Danielle Jaeger
Volunteering is not necessarily about whether you have the time, but rather it’s about having the heart. As a volunteer, you can be assured that your effort, no matter how small, will make a difference to the people of your own community or even to individuals halfway across the world. Local journalist and entrepreneur, Heather Mangan, 25, is gearing up for the trip of a lifetime to Niger, Africa as a volunteer for the Peace Corps. “My official job title is Community and Youth Educator/ English Language Educator, which means that I will be doing work outside the classroom to promote education and supplement classroom activity with learning and tutoring groups,” said Mangan. A Peace Corps
tour is 27 months long. The first three months of the tour are reserved for training and the next two years are spent at a specific post. Although this is a long time to be away from the comforts of friends and family, Mangan has taken advantage of technology to connect with other Peace Corps volunteers before her departure. “Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I have already been connected to some of the people going to Niger at the same time as I and some who are already there. It’s really comforting to know that I have virtual friends in Niger,” said Mangan. In order for Mangan to be considered a worthy candidate to participate in the Peace Corps as a volunteer, she had to have had several volunteer experiences under her belt before she could be considered. “When I first I applied, I was told to go out and volunteer more, so I started volunteering at a domestic abuse shelter and teaching classes at my church,” said Mangan. In order to gain additional volunteer experience, as well as put her journalism and entrepreneurial skills to work, Mangan started an online news Web
site in South Dakota called The Post. “Starting The Post was also a community project since I wasn’t bringing in a paycheck and I was helping train young journalists. Those experiences are some of the richest from my life,” said Mangan. Mangan graduated from SDSU in 2007 with a degree in journalism, and has since been working as a reporter and marketer. “I started my career working for a newspaper in Idaho, then came back to Brookings to work for the SDSU Foundation in marketing. I continued journalism as a part-time stringer for the Brookings Register until about a year ago when I started The Post,” said Mangan. “I was working at the Foundation and The Post until about a month ago when I resigned to focus on my departure to Niger.” As Mangan leaves her life in the states to focus on her volunteer efforts abroad, she’s trying not to have any expectations, but hopes to use her journalistic skills to document her travels. “I want to let the Peace Corps experience - the experience of living in a completely foreign country as volunteer - flow over me. That being said, I hope to end my service as a stronger person with a wider comprehension of the world,” said Mangan. “I am really excited to go to Niger and represent America, and even more, South Dako-

All the Niger kids I come in contact with will know where South Dakota is and how amazing it is.” If you’re interested in following Mangan as she experiences what being a volunteer for the Peace Corps is like, you’re in luck. Mangan plans to keep a blog documenting her experiences in Niger. “At this point in my life, all I know is being a journalist, so I think those skills will naturally flow into my role as a volunteer. I do plan to keep a blog while I’m abroad, which will have the standard ‘this is how I am doing’ posts,” said Mangan. “It will also contain stories of the people that I meet and the environment around me. I really want my blog readers to experience Niger with me,
and hopefully I can do that.” Mangan’s efforts to give back are selfless and inspiring, and although the thought of putting your life on hold and moving to a foreign country may seem frightening, the experience and impact you can make would make it all worthwhile. “Whatever your passion is, you can help. But, the one thing I will say about volunteering, whether it’s in your hometown or on the other side of the world, you have to want to do it,” said Mangan. “You are not going to benefit anyone if your heart is not in it. If you want to give just a little, someone out there will take your help. You just have to mean it.”

ask THE JOHNS
Image by Candace Ann Photography
Yes, all three of these guys are named John. Yes it was a popular name in the ’80s (I’m sure you feel their pain all you Katies, Michaels and Jessicas). But these three gentlemen, when not slaving away at Worlds of Warcraft, are here to answer every question you throw at them. They’re suave, sort of hip and are here for you. The identity of these three amigos have been altered to protect the innocent. 1.) My friend wants to get a tattoo of a wolf howling at the moon. She wants me to get a matching one. How do I tell her that’s insane without hurting her feelings? -Brittany Kay JP: I don’t really know what to suggest because my body is covered in tattoos of unicorns. If I were unicorn-less I would say I’m saving my body for my mom. (A tattoo dedicated to my mom, you sickies). JW: There are only two types of people that should get matching tattoos: military members and biker gangs. As cool as wolves and moons are, just say no! JT: Even though that is insane, don’t tell her that. Instead, explain to her that you’re not interested in that particular tattoo because it has no significant meaning to you. But if she really wants a tattoo of a wolf howling at the moon, then she should get it. Ultimately, she is the only one who’s going to have to deal with it for the rest of her

life. If it means something to her and she likes it, you can’t stop her. 2.) My roommate and I can’t stand each other anymore, but our lease is still going for another year... What can I do to survive until then? -Done JP: Hang out with other people. It’s not like you sleep in the same bed...or is it? JW: Ask them to leave. If that doesn’t work, you could frame your roommate for some sort of low-tier felony... They should get paroled out in just over a year. That should give you ample time to sublease! JT: Your patience will definitely be tested throughout the year. However, you have to remain calm, cool and collected. Stick to your values, and hopefully your roommate will realize and respect you and your space. Simply choosing to not let your roommate get under your skin is the first step. If nothing else maybe Brittany’s friend with the wolf tattoo will take your place.
3.) My friend never goes out, and I want them to get out and stop being a homebody. What can I do? -Reese, 22 JP: Take away their Nintendo and tell them to stop being a nerd. If they still won’t, keep your cool. There’s a decent chance they’ll be your doctor someday. JW: If they are under 30 let them know that what they are doing is unusual and you would appreciate them coming out more so you can enjoy their company. If they are over 30, get used to it. JT: Be sure you include your friend into your plans. Your friend needs to feel like an integral part of the group and not like a third wheel or pity case. If they feel like they’re supposed to be there then they are more likely to interact with people and have more fun. Disclaimer: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.

battle FOR THE ARTS The Final Round With two final markers, two four feet by four feet canvases, 30 minutes, and a DJ, the remaining two artists will bring Battle For the Arts to a close at Club David August 19. The battle, which came to be last winter, has seen the good, the bad and the downright perplexing. But one thing is for sure, it has been a success, bringing awareness to the local art scene. Whether the crowd was following their favorite friend or artist, BFTA MC and creator Micah Luke said the competition has had a great crowd at each battle in its first year. “We hit 150 one night,” Luke recalled. The art edition of this growing series has helped artists as a creative release, as healthy competition and as a way to experiment with their craft. “Either [artists] have their style they stick to, or some artists like Josh Birrittier have said

If you have a passion for fashion and want to see what local aspiring fashion designers have up their sleeves, BFTA is starting a fashion edition kicking off August 12 at Club David. Once a month a battle will occur with a challenge, such as recyclable materials or materials under $20, and each contestant will create a design. Just like the art edition, the audience will judge by a decibel system, and the designer with the most points by the last competition wins. Luke will also be MC with DJ Jeff spinning. The final winner will receive an appearance on local fashion television show “Styled” on KDLT, a spread in 605 Magazine, a free fashion shoot, and a full fashion show at Club David.

it has really pushed his art in a new direction,” said Luke. The fate of the final two competitors lie with the audience, who has voted for which artist moves on each round. A gallery showing of all the BFTA pieces will be put on by the Sioux Falls Arts Council at Club David September 19. All proceeds from purchases will benefit the Sioux Empire Arts Council. If you want to watch past battles, visit Luke’s channel, prophtmicah, on YouTube. For more info on BFTA, visit their Facebook page or visit their official site at site.battleforthearts.org.
The items from the competitors will be sold at a boutique show at Club David with a portion of the proceeds going towards a charity, which a date and charity have not yet been determined. So far the competition has three to five designers, but BFTA isn’t done accepting competitors. “We’re open if people want to apply,” Luke said. Come out August 12 for the kickoff and to see a fashion show by New York designer Sarah Keiser. For more info, visit site. battleforthearts. org.

the real deal Megan punt
by Royce Larson
Hometown: Sioux Falls, SD | Age: 25 | Specialty: Jewelry The last few years have brought us establishments like The Diamond Room, Zale’s, Greenberg’s and Rogers Jewelers. It leaves the question…where are the free-spirited jewelry makers? Well, we found another. Her name is Megan Punt, and she can design just about anything, for your wedding or your everyday outfit. We had a chance to sit down with her for a whole new style to the real deal. Royce: In a nutshell, explain the vision behind your jewelry. MEGAN: I call my collection “Stoneware, Gems and Sterling.” I use semi-precious stones and gems, and fasten them with sterling silver binding. Every piece I design is unique in some way. The stones and natural components are a strong influence of natural beauty. Royce: When did you first tap into your creativity and art? MEGAN: I grew up with art all around me. My father, Gerry, is a ceramics teacher at Augustana College, and my mother, Julie, is a major creative influence on me. I got used to the idea of jewelry by accompanying my parents at the Sidewalk Arts Festival. It wasn’t until about seven years ago that I took my jewelry idea and took off on my own.
I love working with brides who are very laid back, and their jewelry comes out the way they want it and are not too picky. + Megan Punt
40 | August 2010
Royce: You are very close to your family. Is there more to your support system?
MEGAN: My boyfriend is so great and patient! He gets dragged into bead stores and doesn’t seem to mind the hundreds of dollars I spend on beads. Royce: Is being an artist in your long-term future? MEGAN: I would love it to be my primary source of income. The one thing I would like to avoid is commercializing the jewelry-making too much. The jewelry market is very competitive in Sioux Falls, and as an artist, I want to stand out. I am an artist, not just a jewelry craftsman. Royce: Besides selling jewelry, what pays the bills? MEGAN: I do my heavy work for Southeastern Behavioral and a little work on the side at The Bead Company in downtown Sioux Falls. I have been there for the last eight years. I just love downtown!
Royce: So, where can we see some of your jewelry? MEGAN: The best way to see the biggest portion is to visit my Web site etsy/shop/imaginarium or you can visit the Stoneware, Gems and Sterling Facebook page. If you want to see my jewelry up close, I have products for sale at The Great Outdoor Store in downtown Sioux Falls. In September they will be purchasing more and having a privateshowing party to boot. Royce: What is your biggest passion regarding your jewelry? MEGAN: That would have to be doing custom jewelry for weddings, which I do on commission. I love working with brides who are very laid back, and their jewelry comes out the way they want it and are not too picky.

the scoop STURGIS SURVIVAL GUIDE by Maggie Olson
Graphic by Kerry McDonald
A massive tradition of America’s biker community is just days away from its 70th anniversary: the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Beginning on August 9, the rally will draw well over half a million people from all over the country, people from all walks of life united by their love of riding. Augustana College president Rob Oliver remembers the rally back in the late ‘70s, when he would pass through the crowds and scan the population. “It was a rougher crowd back then,” Oliver said. “Today, it’s a lot more people like me.” Oliver, who rides a 2005 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe that he describes as “rather heavily customized in a retro theme,” has seen the young, the old, the highly educated, the manual laborers, all of whom mingle together. According to Oliver, “It’s very unifying, and it’s equalizing.” Everyone, he said, is welcome. However, the rally isn’t a walk in the park. Everyone is welcome, but not everyone is experienced. Seasoned participants like Oliver know the secrets to surviving the rally. The ways to enjoy it to the fullest: Make sure you have a place to stay. The earlier you secure your lodging, the better, and hotels aren’t your only option! Camping at the Buffalo Chip Campground (affectionately called “the Chip”) or Glencoe is a popular option, and many Sturgis citizens will rent their houses to trustworthy people. Be ready for weather. “It’s all possible out there,” said Oliver, who has seen sun, rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Sturgis veterans on the rally’s forum site have one recommendation: layers, layers, layers. There really is no better way to prepare for weather that fluctuates from 30 degrees to 90 degrees in a single day.
When packing, be judicious, especially if you are riding to the rally. If something won’t fit on your bike, most campsites have UPS or Fedex services. Larger items can be shipped ahead of time, and any t-shirts or other merchandise bought at the rally can be shipped back home. One regular contributor to the rally forums suggests including a roll of packing tape and a permanent marker in shipped boxes for use on return shipments. If you do forget something, there is a Pamida store in Sturgis, as well as several grocery stores. The nearest Walmart is in Spearfish, 15 miles away. Another one can be found in Rapid City, along with Target. Expect delays of all sorts. Traffic is inevitable, so you should be patient to avoid accidents. If this is your first rally, you won’t be able to see all the local treasures at once. Several forum contributors recommend two sites a day. Take your time, and fully enjoy them! Go see Devil’s Tower, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer, Deadwood, Wall, downtown Sturgis, and more. Ride through Iron Mountain, Spearfish Canyon, Needles, and the Badlands. Also, keep your eyes open for planning rides at the rally. Have realistic expectations about your budget. Daily spending can range from $40-$100 per day, not including souvenirs and merchandise. If you’re over 21, beers can cost up to six dollars a piece, which adds up quickly. Plan your budgets accordingly. A quick tip: the longer you wait to buy t-shirts, the cheaper they are! The rally is not loved by everyone. Remember there are people who live out there, and be respectful of them. Have fun!

getting PHYSICAL The importance of examinations When it comes to exams and preventing serious health issues, young women might not know what they need to be looking out for. Rachael Dekker, CNP of Sanford Clinic Women’s Health Internal Medicine on behalf of Sanford Clinic Downtown Healthcare gave 605 the lowdown on physicals for young women. There are several ways to prevent serious health issues, and some include simply getting to know your body. One method that is imperative and can be done in the privacy of your own home is a self-breast exam. “That’s easy and free, and all women should do that once a month,” said Dekker. Self-breast exams can help physicals because the more you do them the more you recognize the feel of your breast and can notify your provider if there is anything abnormal. Though it isn’t recommended to get a yearly mammogram until the age of 40, women 20-39 should get a clinical breast exam every three years. Those who have had a family history of breast cancer may have to get a mammogram earlier than 40. If you have had a sister, mother, grandmother or someone who recently had breast cancer, you should ask your provider about it. “Those women should be watched closer,” said Dekker. When it comes to cervical cancer prevention, annual papsmears are a must. According to Dekker, “Basically women in the age of 20-30, even up to 40, are at increased risk of cervical cancer.” The papsmear screenings can catch abnormal cells and make sure they are watched closer. This can help catch anything early if a next step needs to be taken. To make sure you are at a healthy position when you attend your yearly physical, Dekker recommends a healthy diet, to
exercise regularly and to watch your weight. Also watching lifestyle choices is a must to be at your best physically. “Women shouldn’t smoke. Have minimal amounts of alcohol,” said Dekker. Calcium and vitamin D are also often overlooked, and Dekker said these are very important for bone health. If you don’t have time or are just not getting them in your diet, make sure to take supplements. According to Dekker, “In this age group we are still building bone, and it’s a crucial time for that.” Starting these habits early will help carry them on later on in life, keeping you healthier. For example, parents who teach their kids to exercise and eat healthy will be more likely to exercise and eat healthy the older they get.
If the only thing getting in your way of a yearly physical is price, then no need to worry. Sanford Clinic Downtown offers patients a “donation” category based on income. After taking a look at the visit’s total and the patient’s income, the physical could come out free or next to nothing. Thus, if the patient chooses, they can “donate” what they wish towards their care, even if it’s $5$10. Privacy is also taken into account for physicals. If a teen or any patient doesn’t want parents to find out they are receiving care, Sandford Downtown Clinic will not take down the parents’ insurance information so they are not informed. This would also have the patient fall into the donation category. However you get there, just make sure you get there for yearly examinations and practice self-examinations at home. Be healthy and be well. Note: Sanford Clinic Downtown does not offer mammograms or colorectal screens at that location. 605magazine.com | 49
