WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN SEPTEMBER

On Such a Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee

Wolf in White Van: A Novel by John Darnielle

After a horrible disfiguring accident at 17, Sean Phillips shut himself off from the world and created one of the greatest role-playing games ever. But when two teenagers take the game into the real world and die, Sean has to answer for it. I’d guess he’s probably in for some serious self discovery.

You: A Novel by Zoran Drvenkar

Take a notorious gangster bent on revenge and a group of teenage girls worried about boys and acne, and put them on a collision course. That sounds like fun.

It’s the future, and America is on the decline. Cities that were formerly sprawling urban centers were abandoned. Huge cities like Detroit and Baltimore were ghost towns. The Americans who were left, calling themselves the Charter members, began importing people from overcrowded China to fill their cities and their need to have nice things without actually doing the work. They filled the empty cities, promising the people that they would be protected and paid if they were willing to work. So they went to work. A few generations have passed, and these settlements are still running strong. Vegetables are grown and fish are farmed, but everything is sent out to the Charter villages, where the rich and elite live. But it’s not so bad. It could be worse. You could still be in overpopulated China. Or you could be out in the wilderness of America, somewhere between the work settlements and the Charter villages. The settle-

ment people call these people counties people. Think of West Virginia without all the electricity. And there is no moving to the Charter villages. Sure, every once in a while a particularly gifted young person will be chosen to move to the Charter village, but for everyone else, it’s just work until you die. There’s no getting ahead, there’s no chance for advancement. You can’t even own your own business someday, as all the businesses in the work settlements are owned by Charter members. In what used to be Baltimore, but what is now known as B-Mor, lives Fan. Fan is a young woman who works as a tank cleaner for a fish farm. All day long, six days a week, she dives into the huge fish tanks and scrubs the sides of the tank. She’ll surface for air, and then dive back down. Above the fish tanks, on scaffolding, sit the farms, where people tend to crops that will be sent out to the Charter villages. At one such farm works Reggie, Fan’s boyfriend. Reggie is a happy and careless young man, content to work on the farm and spend his day off with Fan. Everyone likes Reggie. But then Reggie disappears. It is normal for people to disappear suddenly. You say something you shouldn’t or mess up at work, and then you disappear. You go to work and keep your mouth shut, and you’re allowed to keep going to work and keeping your mouth shut. But Reggie did nothing wrong. So Fan secretly leaves the settlement to find Reggie and to find out why the world is the way it is. And she’ll go through the counties hoping to find the Charter villages, and in the meantime, she’ll become a legend in B-Mor.

WAY TOO INDIE

Boyhood

bio: Dustin Jansick is the owner of WayTooIndie. com, which is dedicated on providing you with the most accurate and honest movie reviews and ratings. The site is focused around, but certainly not limited to, independent films. Dustin, along with other fellow contributors, not only write reviews on indie, foreign and art house films, but also post trailers, news articles and Top-10 lists. Check them out on Facebook and @WayTooIndie on Twitter.

“GROWS IN DEPTH AND AGE LITERALLY IN TIME WITH ITS ACTORS, MARKING ITSELF AS ONE OF THE MOST HONEST FILMS EVER MADE.” With last year’s Before Midnight being clearly one of the best of 2013 (at least in our opinion), it would seem Richard Linklater, whose films can be somewhat hit or miss (Me and Orson Welles was a bit more on the miss side), is reaching some kind of maturation. Like a fine wine. It would be easy to say he peaked in the 90’s and early 2000’s where his youthful film angle seemed perfectly suited for his age, but with Before Midnight, he proved he could grow with his subject matter. So how to classify Boyhood? A film that shows that Linklater can not only mature with his work, but one that required planning ahead for over a decade’s worth of work. Boyhood was shot over 12 consecutive years with the same actors, an impressive feat in and of itself. Complicated production aside, the film is quite simple. 6-year-old Mason (Ellar Coltrane) lives with his single mother, Olivia (Patricia Arquette), and older sister, Samantha (Lorelie Linklater), in Texas. He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, argues with his sister, and watches his mother bounce from failed relationship to failed relationship. Some years they move. Others their estranged

father (Ethan Hawke) bounces into their lives, attempting to assert his place in their lives and his genuine love for them. Nothing especially out of the ordinary happens, the height of the drama being an especially bad marriage situation that Olivia is forced to endure and eventually escape from. Mostly we watch Mason grow up. Looking wide-eyed and toowise as a child, greasy and awkward in middle school, thoughtful and rebellious in high school. This is an average lower-middle class family — divorced, single-parented, all-American. And somehow at an unholy two hours and forty-five minutes, from a man known to embrace free-form “plot-less” filmmaking, there is never a second of Boyhood that isn’t entirely mesmerizing. The most extraordinary and intriguing transformation is that of Ellar Coltrane, who must find it surreal to watch a film that showcases his every bad haircut of adolescence, and those in-between years of baby fat and sudden pubescent shift. Within two scenes his voice goes from high and childish to a deeper adult sound, the sort of brutal realism a film is hardly able to capture in its normal

production methods. Aside from how intriguing it is to watch Mason/Ellar age, more extraordinary is Linklater’s ability to capture the molding of his mind and personality. All the musings and thoughts we see running through his head, as though we’re literally watching him learn and grow, even when we’re not privy to what those thoughts are. Linklater, a lover of loquacious films, turns off that impulse in Boyhood and allows Mason’s silences and observations to do all the telling. As a fascinating study in mixing reality and fiction, Boyhood stands out from say scripted reality shows in that it simply and effectively holds a lens up to the reality inherent in all films. A nuance that perhaps couldn’t be captured in anything less than 12 years, and which, it turns out, is so fascinating it turns an almost threehour film about almost nothing into a remarkable piece of art.

ALSO WATCHING: MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT

7.5 out of 10

Bernard Boo Read full review: http://way2in.de/uq

Woody Allen returns to his touristic tendencies in Magic in the Moonlight a film set in the gorgeous natural surroundings of the south of France circa 1928. This is a decidedly light and breezy outing for Mr. Allen, but one that has an enchanting air about it, pleasurable until the end. Those who delight in Allen’s witty banter will find a treasure trove of funny lines to recite for their friends, but a momentous work this is not; a lack of narrative finesse and tepid chemistry between its two stars stops the film short of the greatness of Midnight in Paris, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and Match Point. A MOST WANTED MAN

8.1 out of 10

Nikola Grozdanovic Read full review: http://way2in.de/uc

A grey cloud follows every film featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman ever since his untimely death earlier this year. Posthumously released films are always tinged with darkness. So when a film like God’s Pocket comes out to disappointing reviews, every Hoffman fan among us can’t help but feel slightly dejected. So here’s some much-needed good news: Anton Corbijn’s A Most Wanted Man, adapted from the novel of the same name, stars Hoffman in the lead, and it’s the kind of material that’s perfectly suited for the late, great actor’s talents. It may not get ahead of films like Capote or Magnolia in terms of substance,but it’s a sophisticated and shining addition to a boisterous filmography. FORT TILDEN

7.0 out of 10

Dustin Jansick Read full review: http://way2in.de/uo

Sporting nearly the same setup as Lena Dunham’s popular HBO show Girls, Fort Tilden puts more emphasis on the satirical aspect of their helpless and obnoxious characters, but the results aren’t far off from each other. There are moments in this indie comedy when the gags are overplayed and their personalities are borderline insufferable, but that’s kind of the point of Fort Tilden. Watching the unintelligent friends attempt to reach their simple destination as if it were some epic feat is surprisingly entertaining. The film is a bumpy ride at times, but it still remains a charming expedition, perfectly summed up in the last line of the film, “This is tediously adorable.”

When: September 20 @ 8 p.m. Details: Sioux Falls-based The Amidon Affair is poised to release its new album Concrete Caves and Broken Waves. The band’s second full-length is packed with the dreamy, moody, Smashing Pumpkins-meet-Pixies songs that have made them a favorite amongst local audiophiles. Concrete Caves was recorded over the course of a year in drummer Adam Jones’ basement. That absence of urgency comes across in the spotless musicianship and the attention to detail shown in the arrangements. Guitarist Matt Gedney says this album is a departure from the first full-length, 30,000 Feet Above the Sea, because the writing process was a collaborative effort between all four band members. Also playing: Mind Machine and Corvette Cassette. Tickets are $5. All ages. For more info, visit www.totaldragrecords.com or call (605) 521-6439. BRINGING THE CLASSICS BACH Johann Sebastian Bach may not be a name many children recognize, but the newly-formed Bach Society of South Dakota aims to change that. Through a series of statewide concerts – including three this month – and music education opportunities, its mission is to

promote the music of Bach and his contemporaries. “I first came across Bach when I was a kid. We had cartoons that were still silent,” said John Johnson, founder and president of the BSSD. “I realized the music playing in the background of these cartoons was classical music. And many of them were by Bach. So I grew up watching cartoons and invariably listening to that kind of music and just really fell in love with it. I think Bach resonates with kids and with adults because there’s a certain, almost mathematical, logic to his music.” Right now, there are more than three dozen Bach Societies in the U.S. and nearly 60 throughout the world. Johnson, a Harvard grad who most recently taught at Oglala Lakota College in Pine Ridge, has seen the organizations flourish elsewhere and decided there was no reason the concept couldn’t catch on in South Dakota. Most Bach Societies exist in large cities or serve geographically smaller, more densely populated areas. Johnson’s challenge was figuring out a way to make it work in a state so large and with so few people. He started by forming an advisory board comprised largely of music faculty members from state universities. The board helps the organization in

a number of ways, including identifying possible performers. The BSSD’s first of several summer performances took place in Rapid City in June. During the month of September, performances are scheduled in Rapid City (9/14), Brookings (9/15) and Vermillion (9/25). The number of performers will vary from event to event, since the talent is sourced locally, and the length of the programs will vary anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. Johnson is happy with the reception the BSSD has had so far. He says the concerts have had good turnouts. He’s also been getting letters and e-mails every day, in addition to occasional, but all-important donations. Donations and memberships are crucial to getting the society off the ground and making it accessible to everyone. Part of that is keeping all of the 2014 performances free to the public, “We don’t want money to be a barrier. We want to make it available and easy for people to come out and watch us.” To learn more about the Bach Society of South Dakota, including membership info and the concert schedule, visit www. bachssd.org or call (605) 545-6229.

AT HOME WITH ZACH DEBOER + MOLLY O’CONNOR

“The painting above couch is by Bethany Joy Collins. She was a classmate at USD. She’s been featured in New American Paintings, which we have on the coffee table.”(Pictured below.) Learn more about Exposure on pg. 36!

ZACH DEBOER + MOLLY O’CONNOR “I just love being downtown,” said Zach DeBoer of his Main Avenue loft. “As a business owner and working downtown, it makes sense to live here. I walk everywhere or ride my bike. You’re never far away from anything.” DeBoer and girlfriend Molly O’Connor have lived in their third floor apartment for one year. An open concept floor plan makes the space appear larger than its 900 square feet. “It’s nice being in the kitchen and being able to see to the other side of the apartment,” said DeBoer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a multi-purpose space, which the couple uses as a studio/dining/living room. Not to mention an aviary. DeBoer and O’Connor’s parakeet and cockatiel perch attentively near the large east-facing window, above the watchful eyes of their poodle mix, Ollie. The first thing that strikes a visitor to the home is the art. The pair met while attending the University of South Dakota, where they each majored in art-related fields.

Brandon-native DeBoer works for Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. and owns Exposure Gallery & Studios, just two blocks away. Vermillion-native O’Connor works in the nearby CNA Building as a graphic designer for the USD Foundation. The apartment is a testament to their involvement in the USD art community. Starting with the furniture. O’Connor points to a pair of impeccably upholstered vintage chairs, “These came from the Fine Arts Building at USD and they were original to the building. We found out because there’s a tag underneath and it said 1971 or 1972, which is when the building was built.” Several of the works hanging throughout the kitchen, living space and bedroom are by USD classmates or faculty members.

AT HOME

“The local scene poster is a collaboration. It’s local bands and South Dakota bands from the ‘60s to now. Then the cans - they just did a special Andy Warhol edition Campbell’s Soup thing a couple years ago and we’d both bought a full set and then combined them. They’re actual cans of soup.” (Pictured top right.)

”The big creepy skull there is a Bill Fick,” said DeBoer, pointing to a print in the center of the kitchen art montage. “He’s a really well-respected printmaker who I took a class with a couple years back. He’s written textbooks that are used throughout the world about printmaking specifically and woodcuts. It’s a favorite piece of mine.” The art displayed throughout the apartment varies by medium, but the underlying theme is that each piece means something to the couple, and most pieces emit an undeniable sense of fun. For example, O’Connor is allergic to cats, so she screen printed a picture of DeBoer’s feline friend onto fabric and made a pillow. That means the real kitty can live with his parents and her sinuses can carry on undisturbed. “He’s our fourth pet. I’m not allergic to him,” she said. The chairs rescued from the USD Fine Arts Building are not the couple’s only monument to thrift. Their barstools were scored out of a dumpster. “We painted them on top,” said O’Connor. “The side table and suitcases and check master are dumpster-dive finds.” Most of the apartment’s other furnishings are Craigslist gems and bargain finds. DeBoer points at the retro, goldenrod-colored couch, “This is from ModTro. It used to be in the building below us. They were having a moving out sale, so we scooped it up.” The apartment is located in the Maxwell Building, which was originally built as a space to manufacture and

warehouse carpet. “I lived in the River Tower Apartments before this and I don’t even know how many hundreds of people lived there. This is only eight apartments, so it’s much quieter,” said O’Connor, picking up Ollie. “We have a green area out there where we can play with him, so this is a pretty ideal place to have a dog.” DeBoer added, “Ollie’s size is a big plus, and he’s not loud. It’s a lot of fun taking him on walks. Now with DTSF installing pet way stations across town, that’s going to be nice. It’s a young apartment, too. Most people are under 30.” Its location near the intersection of 6th Street and Main Avenue makes it not only convenient for the couple to walk or bike to work, but to get out and enjoy downtown Sioux Falls after hours. “It’s just nice how many options there are downtown. There’s a lot of dessert places now, so that’s a fun date,” said O’Connor. Although they live in one of the quieter parts of downtown, DeBoer believes the area will only get busier as the city pays increasing attention to the development of Main Avenue. For now, the pair is enjoying what’s outside their windows. “I love the view. I love being able to see things,” said DeBoer. “There’s good people-watching at Wiley’s [Tavern], which is always a source of entertainment.” More info: Gourley Properties: www.gourleyproperties.com or (605) 339-1466, Exposure Gallery & Studios: www.facebook.com/ExposureSiouxFalls or (605) 212-3325, USD Foundation: www.onwardsd.org or (605) 677-6703, Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc.: www.dtsf. com or (605) 338-4009

A TASTE OF SARCASM BY ALANA SNYDER

628 6TH ST Rapid City, South Dakota www.facebook.com/HIPPO-STEVE-Pastiche (605) 381-9686

HIPPO STEVE PASTICHE Pastiche: An incongruous combination of materials, forms, motifs, etc., taken from different sources; hodgepodge. Before you are equally as puzzled by the name in itself, hold up. One afternoon, the 605 office was tweeted a request from a former staff member to check out Hippo Steve Pastiche (just try to say it aloud and get it out of the way). The eatery, located in downtown Rapid City, opened its doors June 20. I had to check it out to see what the buzz was about. Right when I pulled up, I squealed and knew exactly why I was sent there. I’m admittedly obsessed with my English bulldog and Boston terrier. It turns out Hippo Steve is co-owner Jaymie Wilke’s bulldog/Boston terrier mix, and he’s not only the logo, but is also the inspiration for the rest of the décor. The deli is quaint and very inviting. Artificial turf welcomes guests to start the dog (might I add “smooshed-face” dog) theme. An antique drinking fountain is by the door, making you feel like you’re at the dog park. I was cracking up. Guests walk up to the counter to decide what to have and order, also gazing at the delicious desserts that everyone aspires to save room for. Co-owner and brother of Jaymie, Ben Wilke, was in the

midst of preparing cheesecake as we chatted about the business over the phone after my visit. Ben is a baker from Montana who makes fresh, homemade bread that they sell daily. “A group of older women who are already regular customers tell me I make bread better than theirs,” he chuckled. “Now that’s a compliment.” The deli changes up their menu often along with daily specials, but they typically have around nine choices of sandwiches for $6.50 or salads for $5. Sandwiches come with pasta salad and a tiny confetti sugar cookie. I ordered a number two: the roast beef, smoked cheddar, red onions, lettuce, tomato and dijon mustard. When it came to the table, I dove into the pasta salad. It was delicious, with cheese, bowtie pasta, a special sauce and black olives. “There’s a lot of ranch in this,” my eating partner stated. My eyes widened, and I looked down at my half empty plate from destroying the salad. I hate ranch… Or... I thought I did, until now. Who knew? The sandwich was belly-rub worthy, and the “one-bite”

cookie rounded out the meal. For anyone who works downtown, this is the ideal lunch stop that has variety, is satisfying and is very easy on the wallet. There is also a kid’s menu where everything is $4 with meat and cheese options or peanut butter, bananas and honey. In the days leading up to our print deadline, Hippo Steve Pastiche announced they’re serving breakfast with items like homemade granola and yogurt and a plethora of croissant choices (did I mention croissant breakfast sandwiches?!). Just some of the flavors include blueberry, pizza, Nutella and strawberry cream cheese. Ben mentioned they started catering events, and I asked if they were doing to-go orders. He said yes and that they were figuring out their business phone situation. It did take one email, one Facebook message and constant phone calls (where I received one ring, then straight to their “full” voicemail) to reach them. Actually, that’s a lie because my friends at Destination Rapid City walked over a printout of my e-mail to them to get a response. Once the phone is situated, Hippo Steve Pastiche seems to be a great addition to the area.

It’s the facts... · Not only does Ben make fresh bread every day, he makes it with grain grown by a farmer in Wall, S.D. Eat traditional wheat goodness or get crazy with flavors like jalapeno cheddar bread. · Ben said Jaymie has rescued Boston terriers for years, and Hippo Steve was no different. After seeing a post on Craigslist about a Boston terrier mix being abused, she drove nine hours to save him.

“We are going to do it right,” said Williamson. “We are going to bring back something that everyone in Sioux Falls can benefit from. Everyone.”

MONEYBOMB 2014: BENEFITS THE STATE THEATRE Sioux Falls’ State Theatre won’t just be a place to watch a movie. It’ll be a place to experience. Director Stephen Williamson can see past the layers of white paint and beyond the theater filled with scaffolding. He says the State Theatre will change downtown Sioux Falls, and give residents and visitors alike another reason to head to the city’s center. After nearly 15 years of fundraising and $3.5 million in donations and pledges raised so far, crowdsourcing remains a vital part of the State Theatre’s restoration. September 19 will mark the return of the State Theatre’s MoneyBomb fundraiser that has raised $20,000 over the last two years. The virtual fundraiser runs from midnight to midnight and is powered by social media. This year, the donation spree will climax with a laser party at Icon Lounge and performances by Cory Kopp Band and Austin Buescher Band. Everyone is welcome at the free event, Williamson said, even if you don’t have funds to give. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards renovating the theater’s extensive artwork, images inspired by the South Dakota countryside. The theater needs to raise about $50,000, Williamson estimated, to make that happen. The artwork, Williamson said “is way more elaborate, way more visually extensive that we even believed. It’s completely unlike anything around here.” Between a roof replacement in the late 1990s, asbestos removal and other vital repairs, Williamson said most of the work so far has been structural rather than cosmetic. The historic theater, which originally opened in 1926, will

bring cinema back to downtown Sioux Falls, Williamson said. The city’s other cinemas lie on the edges of town to the east and west. But it won’t be like any other movie theater in the city or perhaps even the state. From highlighting the locale’s history to serving adult beverages, Williamson hopes to make going to a movie at the State Theatre an event. As a resident of downtown, the State Theatre became a part of John Meyer’s daily life. The State Theatre’s marquee blinked in his apartment’s window every morning, and when he was ready to propose to his now-wife in 2012, he did so on the roof of the historic landmark. “I think it’s such a gem for the city of Sioux Falls,” said Meyer, the founder of Sioux Falls startups 9 Clouds and Lemonly. “I’d love to someday go to a movie at the State Theatre and relive the moment.” Even though he’s never sat down in the State Theatre to watch a film, Meyer can see the potential of the historic landmark to help continue downtown Sioux Falls’ revival. While Williamson can’t give a date for the restoration’s completion, he does hope to get more locals involved, even if they have nothing to give. “We are going to do it right,” he said “We are going to bring back something that everyone in Sioux Falls can benefit from. Everyone.” For more information about the State Theatre and MoneyBomb, visit www.facebook.com/siouxfallsstatetheatre or call (605) 335-5757.

Written by Denise DePaolo Images by Dan Thorson Photography

“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

isual art can be perceived as a solitary endeavor – and in many ways it is. Painters and sculptors lock themselves away in their studios, emerging only when claimed by exhaustion or they feel their work is complete. While this part of the process can been a lone wolf’s game, art is much bigger than putting a brush to canvas late one night. It takes people willing to focus on all facets of the creative process. Organizations like the Sioux Empire Arts Council have long served as the local art community’s backbone, but new groups are helping more people traverse the hurdles that previously kept their work off gallery walls. They are working to get supplies in artists’ hands, to provide a place for creation to happen, and to keep them motivated to produce meaningful work. In South Dakota’s largest city, there has never been a better time to be a maker.

ocated on the corner of 6th Street and Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls, Exposure Gallery & Studios exists to inspire, showcase and celebrate local artists. This latest incarnation is spearheaded by Brandon native Zach DeBoer, who served as a volunteer gallery director in Exposure’s previous location, six blocks to the south. “This city is at an interesting place right now with the art scene,” said DeBoer, a visual artist and former middle school art teacher. “There’s more galleries. There’s more art shows. There’s more artists staying in Sioux Falls, whereas before, serious artists would go off to grad school and never come back.” In order to get the volunteer-run space going this time around, DeBoer turned to the community. Through a crowdfunding campaign, $4,500 was raised to help cover initial costs. “Nearly 100 people have made Exposure happen,” said DeBoer. “It’s been an incredible outpouring of support from the community, friends, family, artists and strangers.” The space includes a large front gallery, a smaller gallery in the back, and several studios artists can rent. For its opening show during the month of August, Exposure exhibited pieces by more than 30 local artists, many of whom are new to showing work as professionals. DeBoer says post-college can be a tough time for creative people.

“They stop making work,” he said. “That’s because they’re taken out of that college atmosphere where they’re challenged and have to make art to get a degree. And there’s opportunities in college to show. Our goal is to make sure there’s a place for artists like that.” Another way Exposure is helping local artists is by hosting bi-weekly Tuesday critiques, something DeBoer has been doing with a small group of friends for years. “It’s free to come. Bring your artwork, whatever you’re working on. Get that rust off the critical part of your brain,” said DeBoer. “My hope is that Exposure can be an incubator, to keep artists going and have a source of income from art sales.” September brings two new shows to Exposure. The front gallery will serve as venue for a juried show sponsored by Sioux Falls Freethinkers. The back gallery will house ceramics by Sioux Falls artist Jenna Weir, which will be painted by Los Angeles-based Renelle White Buffalo (who grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation). Over the next year, Exposure will host solo shows, group shows, and what DeBoer calls “challenge shows,” which call for artists to create work centered on a unifying theme. Shows at Exposure change every month, debuting on First Fridays. For more info, visit www.facebook.com/ExposureSiouxFalls or call (605) 212-3325.

alf-used tubes of paint, bottle caps, pine cones, nubs of crayons and balls of yarn. JAM Art & Supplies is a nonprofit bent on proving that there’s a market for partially used and unconventional art supplies. “Everybody has started a craft or wanted to knit and bought a whole bunch of knitting needles and yarn and then never ended up knitting,” said JAM cofounder Jess MillerJohnson. “We provide a place for those items to be used.” Miller-Johnson got the idea for JAM while living in St. Paul, Minn. She loved visiting a local scrap store that deals in less-thanperfect, but perfectly fine art supplies, “I always wanted to open this store, because I really like the idea of having an art supply store that’s unusual objects or odds and ends.” Miller-Johnson reached out to her group of friends for help in starting the venture. Artist Amy Jarding and graphic designer Katie Farritor jumped at the chance. Eventually, the trio plans to open a storefront in downtown Sioux Falls, where they will sell supplies cheaply by weight. But for now, the three are focusing on quarterly supply drives and community projects. “We do supply drives right now benefitting other non-profits,” said Miller-Johnson. “We just donated some art supplies to Zach at Exposure for the mural project at Riverfest. We donated paint brushes and paint. All of that stuff had been used halfway. Half-empty paint that’s still good, but that’s been discarded.”

JAM’s mission as a resource for the creative community extends beyond art supplies. Jarding maintains a blog on the JAM website where she posts “Inspired Interviews” with local artists like Steve Larson, Adam Goodge, Anna Youngers and Carly Zebell. “We’re trying to give people that bit of promotion they might not otherwise have,” said Jarding, “And at the same time, it’s beneficial to us. By reaching out to different groups of people, more and more people learn about what we’re trying to do.” Farritor photographs the artists for the blog. She says as a graphic designer, this project has been creatively liberating. “Graphic design is very intentional,” she said. “There’s a reason for all the choices you make for a piece – the colors you use, the typography, who your audience is, what it means to people when they look at it. And for an artist, over and over I hear, ‘It just happens. Art just takes shape as you work with it.’ And that’s so different from my world, so it’s just a completely different perspective.” The next supply drive is October 3 at Total Drag Records. It will benefit the Multicultural Center. JAM Art & Supplies also participates in the monthly Hatch 605 Craft Market, which will take place September 5-6 and 26-27 at String Theory Luthiery. For more info on buying or donating art supplies, visit www.jamartandsupplies.com.

ine miles north of Sioux Falls, nestled in rural Baltic, sits The Retreat at Pointer’s Ridge. The 21-acre property adjacent to the Big Sioux River is being developed as a refuge for artists, writers, musicians and others to work and mingle away from the pressures and distractions of home. “It’s going to be not a crazy, wild place,” said Pointer’s Ridge president Deb Klebanoff. “It’s going to be a quiet place for contemplation.” When Klebanoff first saw the property in 2012, it had been abandoned for seven years. The former Jaycees summer camp was being reclaimed by surrounding woods. Plants covered everything, concealing playground equipment, doorways and other forgotten items. For Klebanoff, a former executive director of the Sioux Empire Arts Council, Pointer’s Ridge has become an all-consuming project, but the process of peeling back the layers of neglect has been made easier through the help of volunteer groups. “Citibank had 25-30 people come out here every day for five days,” she said. “They were like a tornado. They cleared trees and shrubbery. They found the jungle gym and an old crib. I always give them credit for us to even being able to sit and talk here today.” The property’s wood-paneled main hall has an old-school lodge feel. With its kitchen, the property’s most up-to-date plumbing, and working fireplace, it will serve as an event ven-

ue and a hub for Retreat activities. “We’re all working on different stuff, but maybe every day at five o’clock there’s lemonade or hot chocolate – depending on the season – but maybe there’s some collaboration as a result,” said Klebanoff. “Maybe not, but the opportunity is there.” There is still a lot of work to do to bring the camp back to its original functionality, but it’s already serving its intended purpose. Sioux Falls painter Nancyjane Huehl spent the summer living at The Retreat in the restored, centrally-located A-frame house. In addition to working on pieces for her new show, which currently hangs at Coffea in downtown Sioux Falls, Huehl has been an active participant in gardening and other daily projects at Pointer’s Ridge. Klebanoff is working to make the cabins, which face the camp’s central clearing, livable (and ultimately rentable) once again as well. They, like most buildings on the property, show the signs of inattention. But for every project yet to complete, there are dozens of handscribbled names, carvings and other little reminders that this was once a place of great significance to thousands of children. The hope is it will be an important place for local artists, too. For more info on Pointer’s Ridge and volunteer opportunities, visit www.pointersridge.org or call (605) 529-4011.

THE SCOOP

“We wanted to put stakes down somewhere and east river was too flat at that point because we had lived in Tennessee, Oregon and Washington, so we needed the hills,” said Ryan, who met Mel while attending Vermillion High School.

“We have listening stations, and watching people discover new music is really cool.”

BLACK HILLS VINYL “There’s always new music to discover,” said Ryan Kickland, owner of Black Hills Vinyl in downtown Rapid City. You may recognize Ryan’s name, as he’s a staple in the local music scene as a songwriter and performer that delves into folk, psychedelic, rock and film scores—some songs being featured on television shows like Dateline NBC, Facing Trauma, Disappeared, Justified and more. His partner in crime (and “brains” behind the operation) is his wife, Mel. The couple, already avid vinyl record collectors, knew they had wanted to start a business but weren’t sure exactly what to do. “It was her idea to start a vinyl shop,” said Ryan. “I didn’t need any encouraging after that.” The concept was something they were very familiar with, moving from Washington a few years prior where stores like this were common. “I already had 1,000 records in our collection, but as soon as we decided to open a shop we took six months and just went crazy,” said Ryan. “We bought huge collections, like entire radio stations’ collections.” Two years ago, they opened their doors in the historic Fairmont Creamery Company Building, but soon ran out of space from their rapidly-expanding inventory. “Our garage was jam-packed,” laughed Mel. Luckily their move wasn’t very far, moving into the entire front of the same building. Now they have a retail section, an office and a storage room for sorting the mountains of records. “There’s probably about 20,000 [vinyls] in the back room,” said Ryan. “We’re in the process of sorting and cleaning.” When they’re not working at the shop, they’re traveling and hunting for more records. Mel joked it’s almost an

obsession for Ryan, who is constantly bring in new finds regionally and nationally. “We recently went to Arkansas and Alabama,” recalled Ryan, who said each region has different types of music that is popular in that particular area. “Our last trip to Seattle we found a bunch of psychedelic rock, and our trip more down south we found a lot of blues.” Not all inventory comes from the Kicklands. Almost every day someone comes in to sell or trade in albums. But that’s not all they see come in. “We put out weird odds and ends, like we have a bunch of old band photos and backstage passes. Someone brought in laser discs they thought were records,” said Ryan. “We get used vintage gear and memorabilia—whatever we come across that’s vinyl or music related.” All of the searching and collecting have certainly paid off. “We have found really rare Beatles’ albums like the “butcher” cover for Yesterday and Today that was a censored, pasted-over cover, we’ve had an album we sold for $4,000 with a rare Andy Warhol-designed cover,” he described. Even unique bootlegs are sold at the shop. “All the records on the top [shelf] are bootlegs,” continued Ryan. “They’re live concerts someone recorded and then pressed onto vinyl.” The Kicklands try to get their hands on every possible genre to ensure every customer can find what they are into. Even the literal “weird bin.” “That’s all we can call it, really,” laughed Ryan. That’s where you’ll find albums like A Field Guide to Bird Songs, How to Play the Guitar, workout records, Ronald Reagan reading stories, sound effects, hunting tips and more.

But why are vinyl records relevant again with digital media? Ryan says loyal fans have never gone away. “A lot of the vinyl die-hards have never really gotten away from it,” said Ryan. “Our customers are split—half have always loved vinyl and half are young people getting into for the first time.” He continued, “We’ve had a lot of college kids who walk in and are like ‘wow.’ Just the physicality of a tangible artifact, and hearing it the way the artist intended. If you have a good turntable, the sound quality is unbeatable.” To make the experience even better, most new releases come with a digital code as well as other surprises like posters. For the latest updates on new or rare finds, visit them on Facebook or at www.blackhillsvinyl.com. You can also join in on their album cover head shots and see if you make their shrine on their store wall. The best part for the Kicklands is to constantly be around music, their passion. Ryan said, “We have a lot of interesting regular customers. You hear a lot of cool stories about shows people have seen, facts about bands—we also love records, so that’s the best part.” Visit Black Hills Vinyl at 201 Main St #101, Rapid City, S.D. 57701 or call (605) 791-4040.

THE REAL DEAL by aaron vidal

Name: Zac Tenneboe Age: 24 Hometown: Sioux Falls, SD Specialty: Magic / Hypnosis

Here I am, as a child, watching all this magic from my father, thinking that magic is real. I lived this world of astonishment for the majority of my childhood. Then at about the age of six or seven is when I started to catch on.

ZAC TENNEBOE As a second-generation magician, Zac Tenneboe has lived his whole life in a “world of astonishment.” After leaving behind his day job as a video editor, Tenneboe – who sometimes goes by the stage name z*stonish – has been showcasing his unique blend of magic, hypnosis, mentalism and humor at events and venues around the Midwest. Officially certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists, he has gained recognition as one the most skillful entertainers in the area. Tenneboe spoke with 605 over the phone to discuss his burgeoning career and his lifelong love of magic. What influenced you to follow in your father’s footsteps and pursue a career in magic? Growing up – and having a dad that’s a magician – you’re young enough that you don’t really know magic is a ‘trick.’ Here I am, as a child, watching all this magic from my father, thinking that magic is real. I lived this world of astonishment for the majority of my childhood. Then at about the age of six or seven is when I started to catch on. I remember the trick very specifically. My father took a handkerchief, poked it into his fist and then it vanished. He waved his hand over the fist and then [the handkerchief] was back again. Of course I was astonished, but I had him repeat the trick multiple, multiple times. It’s hard to say how many times it took, but I eventually realized that this was a ‘trick’ and that he was actually doing it. At this moment, you might think a child’s life would be shattered. His whole life he thought magic was real, and now he just discovered that it’s not. For me, it was a little bit different. At that moment, I realized that this was something I could share with people. My whole childhood – being amazed with this magic – now I figured out that I could learn this stuff and do it for everyone else. When did you decide to switch the focus of your act to hypnosis? I’ve had the luxury of meeting a lot of great magicians throughout my life, and they always said, ‘If you want to improve your magic, then get into hypnosis.’ There are a lot of hypnosis techniques used in magic, and I’ve incorporated that. But once I started doing stage shows for hypnosis,

the thrill and [the audience’s] non-stop laughter really provided a rush. You’ve been known to include aspects of mentalism in your shows. What exactly does that entail? There’ll be things like predications at the beginning of my show that’ll come true later in the show – a bunch of coincidences and unexplainable types of events. We all know that mind-reading is not real. (Some people believe in psychics and that’s fine – I’m not here to change anyone’s beliefs or anything like that.) But for my purposes, I give the illusion of what it would look like to be a psychic, or to be a mind-reader. When you add it [with hypnosis], it kind of blurs the reality of what is real, and what isn’t real, which intrigues me a lot. What is your favorite piece to perform, in terms of the audience’s reaction? A hypnosis show changes so often – new skits are constantly coming in and out. One of my consistent favorites, because the audience loves it, is when I make all the guys have female hormones. They’re part of the Miss America pageant, then they’re pregnant and give birth to a baby. It’s always hilarious, [however] a lot of hypnotists have used it before. Right now, my favorite skit to perform involves a bunch of animal noses: a cow, a duck, an elephant, etc. Everyone will wear these noses, and I’ll sing ‘Ol’ McDonald’s Farm.’ Every time I get to [the person wearing the respective nose], I’ll tap them on the shoulder and they make the animal noise. It’s really funny just because you always hear, “Oh so you’re a hypnotist? Are you going to make me act like a chicken?” Yes, I actually do that. Tenneboe will continue to perform throughout the Midwest, including an upcoming performance at Latitude 44 in downtown Sioux Falls on Friday, September 26, starting at 8 p.m. Only 80 tickets will be sold.

LITTLE PARENT ON THE PRAIRIE by Tracy Kirby

I lay here all day and get my fur pulled, my back sat and jumped on, my tongue kissed, my ears ruffled roughly, all the while being largely ignored by you. And I don’t say a thing. I lay here and take it.

bio: Tracy Kirby’s roots and heart are in the Hawaiian Islands, but destiny has led her to the prairie. She is a wandering traveler, a wife to a dashing Sioux Falls native, a mother to a 2-year-old daughter and 145-pound bear puppy, a freelance writer, and a lover of souls.

Illustration by Liz Long.

A CRY FOR ATTENTION FROM A FURRY, JEALOUS CHILD Hi Mommy, I’m bored. I’m neglected. And yes, I’m hungry. Now, before you get defensive, let me explicate upon these seemingly hurtful statements. I know you’re doing your best with this whole parenting thing, but, to be frank, I need you to do better. Much better. I just feel like you don’t even know me anymore. Ever since that other child came along (whom I love, don’t get me wrong), your attention toward me has waned to say the very least. You used to take pictures of me. Me. But now your phone is so crammed full of pictures with your other child, I’m lucky if my tongue gets a cameo in any of them. Even my best attempts at photobombing often gets cropped out. That’s hurtful, Mom. I just want to be remembered by more than my tongue when I’m gone. Is that too much to ask? While we are being honest: I need more social time. I need more play dates. I would preferably like to eat more and preferably, I would it like it to be your food not mine. Because, let’s be real, this mush you are feeding me could be exponentially better. I see your other child getting well-balanced, three-course meals while I’m over here getting a dirty bowl full of unidentifiable bits. In fact, when your other child tries to eat my food, you cry out to tell her to stop as if it is poison. Is it poison, Mom? What is this you’re feeding me that is so bad that you won’t let her eat it? By the way, I can do more than sit

and lay down. If you haven’t noticed, I am extremely nimble when chasing rabbits out of your garden. Your tomatoes? Your lettuce? You have me to thank for your bounty of garden goodness. In fact, my agility is the talk of all the other backyards in our neighborhood. I am feared. I am the master of the yard, alarm system to the house, and I can kill your weeds you dislike so much with my impeccable accuracy when I relieve myself. Say the word, I will eat any bag of dirt, fertilizer, mulch, and children’s toys that you may accidentally leave out on the deck. And I will live to tell the tale. I try to wake you up every morning at 6 a.m. by breathing and panting as loud as I can while licking your face. But, you simply brush me off and say, “Go lay down boy!” No! I will not lay down! I am ready to commence the day before your other child has the chance to wake up and steal all the attention away from me and divert it to her never-ending requests and preposterous needs. What about my needs, Mom? I’m not trying to make you feel bad, but I just feel like it’s time for things to change around here. I lay here all day and get my fur pulled, my back sat and jumped on, my tongue kissed, my ears ruffled roughly, all the while being largely ignored by you. And I don’t say a thing. I lay here and take it. I watch your other child intently and I protect her with all that I am. When she cries, I am panicked. (Sidenote: I don’t agree with your “cry it out method” you

use sometimes. Her screaming is not only heartbreaking, but unbelievably shrill. Please make her stop.) And what do I get for all this? An occasional treat? A walk every now and again? A mediocre meal? I know I’ve already mentioned the food situation, but I think it’s worth mentioning again: I need more. Better quality. And a variety. Please, please may I have some variety in my meals? Mom, you know it. I know it. Dad knows it. Even your other child knows it. I deserve better. When I’m staring at you with those crazy eyes at the end of each day after everyone else has gone to bed, contrary to what you might believe, I don’t just have to go potty. There’s more to me than that; I’m not as one-dimensional as you think. I just want you back, Mommy. I want our relationship before your other child came along. I love you and I just need you to prove that you still love me. You can start with the food piece. I won’t beat a dead horse here, but really, the food piece is of utmost importance. I also read an article on Buzzfeed about the top 10 reasons you should massage your dog. You could look into that, after all, my love language is physical touch. Lastly, I heard you and Dad talking about getting another dog last night and just so you know, that is not happening. I’m not kidding. I will chew through the fence and run away. This is not a threat. Your Loving Canine Son, Edison

ASK THE JOHNS

Yes, all three of these guys are named John. Yes, it was a popular name in the ‘80s. The identity of these three amigos have been altered to protect the innocent. Have a question for the Johns? Shoot an e-mail their way at TheJohns@605magazine.com.

1.)

3.)

I recently reconnected with a guy I knew at my high school reunion. He lives in another state and we have been Skyping randomly since. I’m starting to get feelings for him, but I can’t tell if it’s a friendship thing. Recently I got the courage to say something flirty and he just smirked. What should I do?

I’ve been with my significant other for a few years and we live together. For the past few months, he has been going out constantly, sometimes coming home at 4 a.m. or stays on the couch at a friend’s place. I’m worried we’re headed for a breakup or that they’re cheating. Is this normal behavior?

I made a giant text faux pas. I was going to complain about how annoying one of my friends has been, and accidentally texted it to the person I was talking about. I’m mortified, and they haven’t said anything back to it. I sent an apology text and tried to call, but no answer. What should I do?

I’m pretty sure they’ll get the hint. Make sure your SN (screen name) is something fresh and flirty, like Hot4u88 or LilMissHottie.

break and hold back from Skyping and see what happens. If he misses you and wants to chat again, it should start to become clear if he likes you or not. But the real question is do you want to be with someone long distance? It sounds complicated.

definitely talk to them and see why you’re not invited and why they’re going out so much. It sounds like the beginning of the end, to be honest. Or maybe they’re not telling you they’re going through something?

to sleep with you or not, he doesn’t want to sleep with you. We aren’t that complicated. Maybe he’s married, is that a deal-breaker for you?

JW: Hahaha, you’re screwed. You’re only out is to say someone stole your phone and typed it. I hope your contract is eligible for an upgrade, because to sell this one you’re going to have to throw your current phone in the river.

JT: Oh, wow. This is going to need damage control. Give it time, then (if they answer) take them out to dinner and explain yourself. Let them know how sorry and embarrassed you are. That’s all you can really do, and they should understand if you’re close friends. Maybe refrain from talking bad about people and take this as a hard lesson.

Do you know the facts? Each month we bring you interesting tidbits about our community and more.

5 Sioux Falls’ rank on Forbes list of “Best Cities for Small Business and Careers.” According to Forbes, the city of 243,900 boasts a diverse economy, largely supported by the healthcare, financial and retail industries. Both unemployment and cost of living remain consistently (and significantly) below the national average. Fargo, N.D. came in at #1 and Mankato, Minn. is #3. Rapid City ranked 19th.

22 Cases of human West Nile Virus reported statewide in 2014, as of August 19. According to the South Dakota Department of Health, all cases were reported in East River counties – mostly in northeast South Dakota. Victims ranged in age from 10 to 80. Most people infected with West Nile don’t develop symptoms, but those who do can experience them within two days of a mosquito bite. Fever, flu-like symptoms and even death can occur, so remember to DEET up when headed outdoors!

Percentage of college students 35 and older attending college full-time nationwide. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 32 percent of part-time students are over 35. Pursuing a degree isn’t the only thing people are doing more after 35 – census data shows an increase in new marriages for people 35-44 as well.

$1.3 Billion Net worth of South Dakota’s richest person, T. Denny Sanford. Sound impressive? Maybe not when you compare it with the wealth accumulated by Washington and Nebraska’s richest people – Bill Gates and Warren Buffett at $76 billion and $58 billion respectively. According to the list compiled by real estate blog Movoto, the state with the “poorest” richest person is Alaska, where Robert Gillam has only $700 million.

“The whole idea [behind B-cycle] is to share a bike and to not have your own.”

I WANT TO RIDE A BICYCLE. I WANT TO SHARE A BIKE. Whether you call the city home or you’re just stopping by, Rapid City is making bikes accessible for all. If you’ve rambled along Rapid City’s bike paths lately, you might have noticed an unusual amount of identical looking, fire engine red bikes pedaling past. No, the look-alike bikers aren’t part of a new color craze. It’s much cooler than that. They’re hip on the hottest bike trend: sharing. “The whole idea [behind B-cycle] is to share a bike and to not have your own, which in cities is a huge thing,” said Rhea Landholm, executive coordinator at Destination Rapid City and Main Street Square—two of the driving organizations behind Rapid City’s new B-cycle program. Put simply, B-cycle is an automated public bicycle-sharing program designed for short trips around town. Not only do B-cycles make traveling from Point A to Point B a whole lot easier, they also help cut down on traffic volume and air pollution. And bonus, they’re powered by the ultimate alternative fuel—you! Currently, Rapid City is home to ten B-cycles housed in two B-stations: one near the parking ramp at Main Street Square and the second in front of PC Commons on the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology campus. The B-cycles come equipped with trackers capable of calculating miles traveled and calories burned throughout your trip. If you opt for an annual B-cycle pass, you can see how your distance compares to fellow Rapid City riders. While B-cycles are an awesome asset to local Rapid citizans, they’re available for tourists, too. The shared bikes give Submitted Image.

out-of-towners the chance to explore the city from a different perspective. “We thought, wouldn’t [B-cycle] be cool, because we have a lot of tourists, and we have awesome bike paths,” said Landholm. We had a few more questions for Landholm about this new bike-share program: So how does this whole bicycle sharing thing work? It’s simple. You can check a B-cycle out with an annual pass or 24-hour access pass. Ride your B-cycle to a B-station near your destination to check it back in. When you’re ready to ride again, use the same credit card to check out another B-cycle— the tech-smart B-stations will recognize you’ve already paid for access, and you won’t be charged for checking out another bike. How much is a B-cycle ride going to cost me? $65 for an annual pass. $7 for 24-hour access. Both include unlimited 30-minute bike checkouts. To avoid extra charges, check out a bike and redock it in a B-station within 30 minutes, and then check out another one. Where should I ride my B-cycle? Rapid City’s bike paths. If you’re heading out from Main Street Square, turn toward Legacy Commons and Memorial Park Promenade for a scenic view of the city. Or, if you’re departing from the School of Mines, catch the bike path on Kansas City Street for a quick ride into downtown Rapid City. For more info, visit rapidcitybcycle.com.

HEALTH PROFILE

“You really don’t have to change much about your diet to go glutenfree, but unless you’ve been tested for celiac disease, there’s no reason to go that route.”

GLUTEN FREE - A GOOD IDEA? First it was Atkins, then it was South Beach. For decades, dieters have sworn by the results of eliminating carbohydrates. In recent years, the trend has turned toward gluten-free. While removing wheat, barley and rye is essential for those living with celiac disease, there is little proven benefit for others. Hy-Vee registered dietitian Alyssa Gehle says those who switch to a gluten-free diet voluntarily run the risk of not getting enough fiber and B vitamins – which are necessary for effective digestion. Gehle also notes that a gluten-free diet can lead to a higher caloric intake, so those looking to lose weight should consider a different dietary course. “A lot of the gluten-free stuff has more calories than our regular products,” said Gehle. “There’s no reason that you can’t just watch what you eat and cut down on your breads.”

For those on a gluten-free diet out of necessity, there are ways of getting sufficient nutrition aside from the inclusion of a daily multivitamin. Adding other whole grains, like quinoa or gluten-free oats (regular oats run the risk of cross-contamination, since they are often processed in the same plants as wheat) to one’s diet will help, as will leaving the skins on fruit and eating brown rice instead of white. And for those who want to take the guess work out of gluten-free, Gehle points to the countless ready-made products available in entire gluten-free sections at Hy-Vee and other grocery stores, “You really don’t have to change much about your diet to go gluten-free, but unless you’ve been tested for celiac disease, there’s no reason to go that route.” For more info about finding a Hy-Vee registered dietitian near you, visit www.hy-vee.com/health/hy-vee-dietitians.
