I started using e-cigarettes but kept smoking.

Right up until my lung collapsed.

Kristy, age 35, Tennessee

Kristy had smoker’s cough and severe shortness of breath. She tried using e-cigarettes to cut down on her smoking.

She thought cutting down would make her feel better, but it didn’t. She kept smoking cigarettes until her lung collapsed.

Even smoking a few cigarettes a day is dangerous.

You can quit smoking.

The Real Deal

Factoids

Kinsey graduated from SDSU with a degree in journalism. She spends her time in the Black Hills drinking coffee, watching too much Netflix, and writing for 605 Magazine.

I think road trips are the best. Being able to control one’s own pace and environment while traveling, to me, is a fair trade for “convenience” of flying. If time wasn’t a factor (and let’s face it, it always is), I would never step foot on a plane again.

Although driving does take a little longer, I find it to be one of the simplest and purest expressions of freedom. On the road, nothing but possibilities lie ahead. I love stopping along the way to treasure hunt for homemade Bloody Mary mix and pickled green beans and locally-made cheese. If there’s a winery or brewery close to an exit, even better. I love making playlists and listening to local radio stations, momentarily sharing an everyday experience with that area’s people.

Driving makes it possible to leave the beaten path and really, intimately, see something of the world. That is what we hope to show to you in this month’s cover story. Many of us make the trip from Sioux Falls to Pierre and back, taking the same direct route down I-90 and up Highway 83. However, those who turn north a bit sooner and allow an extra hour can expect to have their minds blown by geographic beauty. Ours certainly were.

Have fun, safe, unforgettable adventures as you explore our state’s stunningly diverse landscapes this summer. Tag your photos with #605RoadTrip, and search the hashtag for our behind-the-scenes shots from the road. It was a blast!

Jill is a senior journalism major at Augustana College where she is a writer and the web editor for The Mirror. From Hurley, she is known for obsessing over her cats and watching an unhealthy amount of Netflix in a short period of time.

DAWES LAYS IT BARE ON NEW ALBUM It all started with Nickelodeon.

Or at least that’s as far back as

Dawes

drummer

Griffin

Images by Dan Martensen

Goldsmith can remember.

On the Gak-slimed channel among Blue Barracudas and Silver Snakes, 6-year-old Goldsmith and his 10-year-old brother Taylor sang together on a four-minute special about “the craziness of family life,” according to Griffin and a tiny credit on the Planet Grande Pictures website.

That’s the earliest memory Griffin has of harmonizing with Taylor, a fitting beginning for two brothers from Los Angeles, whose father sang for Tower of Power and climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard chart with the Five Americans song “Western Union.”

That special’s credit is discoverable online only if you know the right keyword combination, but search for Dawes, and you’ll see more. Much more. First, a concert at Sioux Falls’ Orpheum Theater on Wednesday, July 15, with The Lone Bellow.

Second, their four studio albums. The most recent, All Your Favorite Bands produced by David Rawlings, was released June 2, and veers slightly from the story-driven fare of past songs like “A Little Bit of Everything,” in which characters ponder their existence while losing loved ones, miscommunicating and battling minutia through it all. (Ultimately, like in much of Taylor’s songwriting, optimism wins out despite being battered down by realism.)

band in 2009, and recently, they sung Warren Zevon’s “Desperados Under The Eaves” on The Late Show to bid adieu to Dave Letterman.

They’ve sung on tours opening for Bob Dylan – who Taylor is often compared to for his wry wit and folk/rock roots – and they’ve sung Bob Dylan’s once-lost lyrics on songs Taylor finished with Marcus Mumford, Elvis Costello and others for The New Basement Tapes project.

In forming the drum sound for All Your Favorite Bands, Griffin says he sought a cohesiveness among all nine tracks. In turn, he credits Dylan’s “Desire” as a touchstone, and a bit simpler setup than the five kits, six kick drums and a dozen snares used on their previous record, Stories Don’t End. As they’ve trekked across the country, playing as many as 250 shows in a year, Griffin and Taylor have learned to accept each other’s differing music tastes, and when to give each other space. When asked what he learns about Taylor through his songs, Griffin says he understands more clearly why things in Taylor’s love life didn’t work out. That context comes in songs like the latest record’s closer, “Now That It’s Too Late Maria.”

On the new record, Dawes cuts closer to the autobiographical, following a past lover throughout most songs, and eliciting the varying emotional responses that can result from a breakup: Colder lines like, “Things happen, that’s all they ever do,” sit among warmer ones such as, “I hope the world sees the same person that you've al- “There’s only so much you can tell someone about ways been to me.” your relationship and what was intractable about it,” Griffin said.

Since their four-minute television debut in the ‘90s, Griffin and Taylor have sung at the piano With Wylie Gelber on bass, Tay Strathairn on during holidays. They’ve sung since forming the keys and the recent addition of Duane Betts, son

of The Allman Brothers’ Dickey Betts, on guitar, Griffin and Taylor connect as a thinking and feeling rock band, the kind that values the stories from concertgoers about how a song resonated with them.

It’s these human experiences that mean the most. Recently, when remembering important tour moments, Taylor cited a visit to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial with Griffin. In awe of the massive artwork, Griffin says it put their work in perspective.

Against “the largest and seemingly most difficult piece of art to create,” Dawes songs seem small, he says. But considering the closeness they encourage, feelings are magnified. And whereas a sculpture sets an idea in an immovable shape, songs can evolve as they’re played and interpreted by audiences.

Griffin says he doesn’t need to parse out exactly what Taylor is saying with his songwriting. He understands the meaning in his own way, and allows his brother to communicate with him through their shared artistic medium.

Singing, after all, can be as big within as carved mountains.

And we can still dream of a day when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson harmonize like the Goldsmiths. Oh, the songs they would sing.

Q&A A CELEBRATION OF NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE

BY JORDAN SMITH

Hip-hop artist Frank Waln performs at 2nd Annual Gathering of People, Wind and Water

The third annual Gathering of People, Wind and Water Native Art Market, organized by a volunteer committee and coordinated by Arts Rapid City, will take place in Main Street Square on Saturday, July 18, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Native Arts Gathering Committee member and artist Wade Patton talks about why he wanted to participate in the event and why it is so important to the community.

What is the Gathering of People, Wind and Water Native art market?

Wade: It is a unique celebration of our community. There are about 50 artists participating – both established and emerging artists from 11 states and 18 tribes. Each artist will have a booth with their art on display, and also have items available for purchase. Native performances and demonstrations by culture bearers will happen all day on the Main Street Square stage.

The art market will close at 6 p.m. for an evening concert featuring Scatter Their Own and Frank Waln.

There is an artists’ reception, which takes place on Friday evening, before the event on Saturday. During the reception there

will be a drum group and opportunity for the community to meet Great Plains’ native artists and preview the artwork before the celebration. Artists can submit two pieces for judging and there will be awards given out to the winners.

How do artists get involved?

Wade: Artists apply and are juried in, selected, to participate in the event. A lot of talented artists applied, and unfortunately not all could be in the show. There is a panel that makes those decisions. The only parameter artists must abide by is that the art be Northern Plains Indian art. There will be everything from paintings to beading to 3D art and sculptures to pastels.

Why is the event important?

Wade: The Gathering is important because it promotes Native American art.

There is a lot of great talent that will be showcased. The cultural celebration is happening in the heart of Rapid City. It is a cross-cultural event and a unique celebration of Great Plains art. People should expect great pieces.

THE MECHANICAL

BY IAN TREGILLIS I never read any alternate history stuff.

Too many times they start with a premise like, “What if the Nazis got laser guns from time traveling Nazis from the year 3000.”

You know, they're usually really top notch stories.

In The Mechanical, however, Ian Tregillis starts with the premise that the Dutch won. That's right, the Dutch won. To be more precise, the Calvinist Dutch pretty much conquered the world in the 17th Century.

They did this by inventing mechanical men that were given intelligence but were also enslaved by alchemy. Only a select few understand how it really works. The mechanical men, known as Clakkers, have free will but are driven by strong impulses that cause physical pain if they are not acted upon. They must accomplish whatever it is their human masters tell them to do.

Only France is still putting up a fight 200 years later. They have hunkered down in the New World. They believe that the Clakkers are thinking beings with free will who have been enslaved by the Dutch.

And the French have agents in the Dutch Empire. One such agent, sure he is about to be discovered, gives a special package to

a Clakker named Jax with instructions to deliver it to his contact in the New World.

The impulse in Jax's brain would cause him great pain if he did not accommodate his human masters.

But on the rough ocean voyage to the New World, there is an accident and Jax hits his head. Suddenly, there are no more impulses.

There is no more pain. Jax is free.

Of course, this is not good as they melt down and recycle any Clakkers that they feel have gone rogue.

Even without the impulse to complete his mission, Jax knows that he must deliver the package. In addition to saving his own life, it might set all of his people free.

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.

“THE BEACH BOYS BIOPIC SIDESTEPS CLICHÉ, TELLING A STEREOPHONIC STORY OF HEROES AND VILLAINS. ” Love & Mercy, an unconventional biopic based on Brian Wilson, isn’t so much about sunshine as it is about his demons. The focus is the anguish and isolation that plagued him from his early days as a musical prodigy and deep into his adult years, when drugs and anxiety nearly reduced his mind to mush. It may be the best musician portrait of the millennium so far, for its artistic ambition, supreme sound design and chilling performances.

It’s a hard enough thing telling someone’s life story in two measly hours, but when your subject is Wilson, a man whose life is so legendary it could easily fill a 1,000-page book, the Wikipedia biopic approach simply won’t cut it. Bad biopics try to shove a life story into a bottle; good ones take on a life of their own. Director Bill Pohlad and screenwriter Oren Moverman get it: instead of going with the “rock ‘n’ roll rise ‘n’ fall” approach, they use two critical, defining slices of Wilson’s life to render a beautifully complex, abstract interpretation of the man who gifted us “Good Vibrations” and “California Girls.” Despite covering only two portions of Wilson’s life, Pohlad

and Moverman’s film feels rounded, complete, and faithful to its subject’s soul and spirit.

The narrative is stereophonic, in a way. It tells two stories, phasing them into a larger arc with clever scene arrangement and seamless editing that echoes the fluidity of Boyhood‘s invisible time jumps. Paul Dano plays a young Brian in the ’60s, whose artistic awakening has coincided with the emergence of a debilitating anxiety disorder. John Cusack plays him in the ’80s, a chemically imbalanced mess who’s unsure of every word that escapes his lips.

Eighties Brian is a man on a leash, held captive by Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti), a shady therapist who’s taken charge of Brian’s life and, conveniently, his funds. (Landy’s moved into Brian’s Malibu mansion, moving Brian to a smaller house up the coast.) Brian meets his savior and future wife in Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks), a savvy car saleswoman who he asks on a date while sitting in a car she’s in the process of selling him. Melinda and Brian’s romance and camaraderie and her efforts to liberate him from the

imperious Dr. Landy drive their half of the film.

Love & Mercy glides forward gracefully, flitting from side to side between the two time periods like a well handled hockey puck. Its shape doesn’t resemble any biopic I’ve ever seen, and that’s its strongest quality. It jumps forwards and backwards in time, but the story’s movement feels lateral, not linear.

Wilson devotees will likely be moved to tears by Love & Mercy (“God Only Knows” is waterworks material for me no matter the context), though the experience of the uninitiated will be no less special. This man is a certified American icon, and for his legacy to be preserved in a way that comes ever so close to matching his artistry is a wonderful thing. The film’s only major obstacle is Cusack’s resemblance issue.

If you can’t get passed it, you may find yourself repeatedly thrown out of the movie every time he saunters into frame. If you can get passed it (it took me a while, but I did), you’ll have a film experience to treasure for years to come.

Well that was fast. Seems like just yesterday we were recalling our favorite movie moments from 2014. It’s hard to believe, but we’re already more than halfway into 2015!

So it’s time for us to reflect back on all the releases since January. Sure, there have been some duds so far this year - Tomorrowland, Hot Pursuit, The Cobbler, Aloha, and Entourage to name a few - but we’ve also seen a lot of excellent films already. There’s something for everyone on our list of the Best Films of 2015 (So Far), our wide variety of films include some of last year’s Cannes Film Festival standouts, a must-see horror film, a Wes Anderson-esque western, several lowbudget indies, and to round things out, a big studio action film worth checking out.

AT HOME WITH CHARLES AND CAROLINE INGALLS

“…De Smet. It’s named for a French priest who came pioneering out here in the early days.”

4

Look for more photos online!

CHARLES AND CAROLINE INGALLS Surrounded by fresh construction, less than a mile from Silver Lake, stands the De Smet home of Charles and Caroline Ingalls. The couple, originally from Wisconsin, expected to be in the area only temporarily, but have now decided to make the growing town, just 40 miles from Brookings, their home.

As they welcome us inside, Caroline says that Charles has secured a homestead nearby, and they will soon be moving out of the house. She explains that it was built by surveyors and they have merely been caretaking for the past several months.

Charles and Caroline were considering a move "back east" with their four young daughters, Mary, Laura, Carrie, and Grace, when a chance meeting with the head surveyor changed their plans. Charles relayed the conversation, which took place in the company store, “They thought they had to stay and they laid in coal and provisions enough to last them through, but if I’ll take charge and be responsible for the company tools till spring, they’ll go out for the winter.” 1 The family, having moved from Wisconsin to Indian Territory, then Minnesota, and finally to De Smet so Charles

could accept a job with the railroad, is ready to settle down.

Caroline has homeschooled the girls, but hopes for more formal education opportunities.

“I’ll be thankful when we’re settled,” said Caroline. “This is the last move we’re going to make. Mr. Ingalls agreed to that before we left Minnesota. My girls are going to have schooling and lead a civilized life.” 2 And although the surveyors’ house is only a temporary home, the Ingalls’ have been happy to have it.

Laura tells us it’s the biggest place she’s ever lived, as we enter a front common room. In one corner sits a wooden rocking chair draped in a quilt. We learn that it’s where Mary likes to sit, due to its proximity to the stove, which Caroline is visibly excited to show us.

605MAGAZINE.COM (page 27)

AT HOME

“Mrs. Boast says they’re all the rage in Iowa,” said Caroline of her whatnot.

“Well, she ought to know,” Charles agreed. “And there’s nothing in Iowa too good for you, Caroline.”

The black iron behemoth is well-constructed with six lids on top and two oven doors, which allow for efficient cooking for the large family and their frequent visitors, in addition to providing heat during the long South Dakota winters.

The Ingalls’ were alone for the first months of winter, after the railroad men packed up and left. To keep his family entertained, Charles would often play the fiddle while everyone else sang along. Hymns are big in their house, but so are reels and jigs.

Often, he says, the occasion and mood determines the music choice. What made winter evenings livelier was the addition of their friends, the Boasts, who arrived on Christmas Eve to beat the spring rush of homesteaders.

Aside from music, a favorite pastime has been reading serialized stories aloud from copies of the New York Ledger, which Mrs. Boast brought from Iowa. Another bit of the neighbor’s influence stands in the room’s far end. Caroline calls it her “whatnot.”

Charles built it according to Mrs. Boast’s description, after she explained that they were very popular in Iowa. The whatnot is a triangular shelf with five graduated tiers that fits snugly into the corner, each surface edged with intricately-cut paper points. It is a place to display the few treasures that the family has held dear throughout their many moves. Above that is an even smaller shelf displaying a fragile-looking china shepherdess figurine.

The home’s main room has three doors in addition to the front, over which Charles hangs his rifle. The farthest leads to a walkin pantry lined with shelves neatly stacked with canned and dried food items. Along the wood floors, which run through the whole house, are larger food receptacles like barrels and sacks, plus a butter churn. Laura says that when she first saw the pantry, she thought it was a store, because it was so well-stocked by the surveyors.

(page 28) JULY 2015

AT HOME with CHARLES AND CAROLINE INGALLS

“The sides are high enough to hold her covers tucked in,” said Charles. “And low enough to go under our bed in the daytime, like any trundle bed,” added Caroline.

5

The wood floor in the attic, like the downstairs, is warmed with tightly-woven homemade rag rugs. Next to Mary’s bed stands a dresser, solidly fashioned from distressed wood. When I asked whether it was Restoration Hardware, Caroline gave me an odd look and explained that Charles had built it.

As we made our way back down the steep, shallow stairs to the main room, Charles mentioned that all of the neighbors we saw as we came in appeared just this spring. It took only a few weeks for the town to build up, and they had gotten in on the action. As the only settled family, the Ingalls’ had provided meals to the working men, making a few cents profit from each one. And after the surveyors return, they plan to temporarily move into a store building Charles constructed on another town lot. Once he readies the homestead, he plans to sell the improved lot at a profit.

Charles says the new homestead is perfect. “There’s a rise to the prairie south of the slough, that will make a nice place to build… On the quarter section there’s upland hay and plow land lying to the south; and good grazing on all of it, everything a farmer could ask for. And it’s near the townsite, so the girls can go to school.” 3 As we left, we wished the family luck on their upcoming move and on their efforts to start this brand new community here in Dakota Territory.

The door closest to the home’s entrance leads into the cozy bedroom Caroline and Charles share with Grace. Still small, Grace sleeps in a shipping crate that has been converted into a trundle bed. Like all of the beds in the home, Grace’s trundle is topped with a warm patchwork quilt and a feather pillow.

The center door takes us to the home’s spacious attic, which runs the length of the floor below. In addition to an oil lamp, the space is illuminated by glass windows in each gable. Two quilt-topped beds sit at the room’s far end, one small and one large. The small bed belongs to Mary, the eldest, and the larger one is shared by Laura and Carrie. Reclining against one pillow is a worn doll with dark hair, whom Laura explains is “just Charlotte,” although as we turned, she patted it affectionately.

REDROSSA ITALIAN GRILLE “I LOVE PIZZA . I WANT TO MARRY IT, BUT IT WOULD JUS T BE TO EAT HER FAMILY AT THE WEDDING .” - MIKE BIRBIGLIA

Walking up to the RedRossa Italian Grille in Pierre, it was already difficult to reconcile the differences between this location and the one in Sioux Falls. Those familiar with the Sioux Falls restaurant know that it sits at the end of a strip mall and one orders at the counter.

Aside from the name, there was no apparent similarity between the dining concepts.

The Pierre RedRossa, attached to the Clubhouse Hotel & Suites, is palatial in comparison. It is a full-service, slightly upscale Tuscan farmhouse-style restaurant with tons of floor space, a large marbletopped bar with its own seating area, and every inch tasteful décor. As we entered the lobby, we were flanked on one side by a massive fireplace and on the other by the host stand. Directly ahead, separating the lobby from the bar area was an enormous table under which enough firewood to last a year was stacked. It struck me as a piece that is supposed to look utilitarian, but is actually decorative.

The hostess greeted us immediately and led our party of three to a table near the front windows. Our server was also very prompt and friendly. We perused the menu for a moment before deciding on

the Chop Chop Salad, Sausage Bella Pizza, and the Red Pepper Chicken Tortellini.

While we waited for our food, our server brought out a basket of crusty white and wheat bread, which we dipped in the olive oil and vinegar on the table. The room we sat in was painted a warm rusty brown with exposed brick under heavily-beamed ceilings. Although it was very large, a row of booths acted as a partition to provide a slightly more intimate feel. The open wine storage area dominated the far wall, proving once again that bottles of wine are the ultimate weapon in restaurant décor – aesthetically pleasing conjurers of pleasant times and places.

Our food arrived after just a short wait, despite it being a busy Sunday evening. Immediately seduced by the smells emanating from the plates, we dug into the salad.

The Chop Chop is mixed greens with red wine vinegar dressing, Italian salami, shaved Parmesan, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, smoked mozzarella, pepperoncinis, and roasted red peppers. At eight dollars, this salad is a huge bargain. The flavor balance was

perfection – salty, briny, sweet, and fresh. If this salad was available in Sioux Falls, I would make a point of ordering it often.

Curiously, when I ordered the Chop Chop at the RedRossa in Sioux Falls, it was a completely different salad – romaine lettuce topped with salami, chicken, sliced Roma tomato, chickpeas, strips of smoked mozzarella, bits of Parmesan, and a very light balsamic vinaigrette. Although this was a good salad, too, the one in Pierre was vastly better. And even though the ingredients are clearly listed, having two completely different salads with the same name by the same company in the same state is pretty confusing, and I imagine frustrating for some diners.

The Sausage Bella was another bit of flavor balancing mastery. Atop a perfectly crispy, blister-edged crust was a layer of Alfredo sauce so subtle that all I really tasted of it was an undertone of rich garlickiness, mozzarella, finely-crumbled Italian sausage, portabella mushrooms, artichokes, and Gorgonzola. The artichokes and mushrooms were sliced paper-thin, the sausage was just a little spicy, and the Gorgonzola was used with restraint.

When I ordered the Sausage Bella in Sioux Falls, I was delighted to find that it was comprised of all the same ingredients. However, the center of the pizza was almost too soggy to eat. My guess was artichokes or mushrooms giving off water. Additionally, the Gorgonzola was administered with a much heavier hand.

The fast-casual versus full-service dining concept is not the only difference between the Sioux Falls RedRossa and the Perre location.

With a larger space, apparently, comes a larger menu. Our pasta dish, the Red Pepper Chicken Tortellini, is not available in Sioux Falls. However, I am glad we ordered it during our visit to the capital.

The tortellini were just on the soft side of al dente, coated in It’s the facts... a creamy, although not heavy, red pepper pesto sauce, topped • RedRossa has four with roasted red peppers, locations – Pierre, Sioux mushrooms, grilled chicken, Falls, Bloomington, Minn., peppery herbal greens, and and Clive, Iowa.

JAZZ UP YOUR SUMMER What started as a backyard party has grown into a massive threeday music festival, complete with two stages and an array of food, beverage, and art vendors.

The JazzFest volunteers are working hard before the event even begins, with set-up crews constructing the stages, tents, and vendor booths for the festival. Once the event gates are opened, volunteers are there to greet festival-goers. Help is needed selling drink tickets, collecting donations, working in the kids' area, and managing artist merchandise. The online application requests participants select their work preference, allowing volunteers to enjoy their shift in an area of interest, surrounded by good company and great music. With flexible scheduling, various work stations, and the exclusive T-shirt (which has become a collector's item), it's easy to understand why participants keep coming back for more.

Sioux Falls JazzFest, which takes place at Yankton Trail Park, originated in 1988 with the idea of bringing local jazz musicians together. The music-filled afternoon became an annual tradition, now held every third weekend in July. Showcasing incredible talent and prominent headliners, executive director Rob Joyce is proud to say that JazzFest reJoyce reflects on some of his favorite aspects mains free to the public, with all proceeds and of JazzFest, emphasizing the talent that is donations going towards Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society.

songwriter Boz Scaggs, collaborative band GALACTIC, and CMA performer Grace Porter.

As the audience size continues to grow each year, Joyce is hopeful that JazzFest will remain free to the public. Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society is able to put on the festival with the funds from the previous year's event, asking that the audience show its support through the beverage and merchandise sales offered. Any additional proceeds will go towards local jazz performances, as well as scholarship and music education programs. Individual donations can be made at sfjb.org.

Aside from the opportunity to help support one of the largest free music events in the region, Joyce says volunteering at JazzFest is a great way to meet new people. He encourages companies to send team members to work together while networking with those around them. Families are welcome to help out, although must children work alongside a parent, and individual volunteers 15 to 17-years-old are required to bring along a signed parent release form.

For those interested in showing their support at this year's JazzFest, more information and online applications can be found at siouxfallsjazzfest.com.

CHAMBERLAIN

It’s amazing what happens when one lifts their foot off the gas, slowing down from 80 to 55 miles per hour. Edges of scenery become crisp, the lines on the road sharpen, and windows can be rolled down, allowing the smells of air and earth in. This is the pace of those who wish to make the journey part of the adventure. It's the speed limit of Highway 1806, part of both the Native American Scenic Byway and the Lewis and Clark Trail – the “scenic route” between Chamberlain and Pierre.

In early June, three members of the 605 team decided to see it for ourselves. Sales and marketing director John Snyder’s Jeep Wrangler served as our base of operations, graphic designer and photographer Liz Long captured the trip visually, and I was in charge of planning and penning. It was the first time any of us had taken 1806, and although the route could be driven in a couple hours, we took 48 and soaked it all in. Here's a bit of our experience.

PIERRE | FORT PIERRE S U N DAY A F T E R N O O N We left Sioux Falls, bound for Pierre. Our Jeep, loaded with camping equipment and sunflower seeds. This first night would be spent on the Fort Pierre National Grassland, so we took the “fast way” to Pierre, west on I-90 then north on Highway 83. After a hearty meal and a leisurely stroll around the grounds of the South Dakota State Capitol, our party ventured back south on Highway 83 to find a campsite.

S U N DAY E V E N I N G After about 10 miles, we turned right onto War Creek Road and weaved our way into the grassland. There are no dedicated campsites in the area, although camping is allowed. Before the trip, I asked Fort Pierre-based District Ranger Dan Svingen for advice. He first suggested Oahe Downstream Recreation Area, which is a full campground, then when I told him that we hoped to remain within a short drive of Highway 1806, he suggested Richland Dam or Sheriff Dam. We first came upon Richland Dam, which appeared to be the “party dam” by later comparison (as it was the most developed).

There was a group of fishermen with a large trailer set up, casting their lines into the water. We decided to continue our route south, passing War Creek Dam, arriving at Sheriff Dam a few miles later.

Our camp was set up at the far corner of a clearing, on a slight rise that allowed views in every direction. The only signs of civilization were a radio tower blinking in the distance, the top of a farm building beyond a distant hill, and the barbed-wire fence that separated us from a herd of grazing cows. The lack of amenities, like restrooms, seemed unimportant when compared to the stunning green expanse surrounding us.

That night, it felt as though we were treated to an extended version of sunset, with pink and orange striping lingering in the west well past 10 p.m. A nearly-full moon made our flashlights unnecessary, and we spent the time before bed looking at the stars for long, silent stretches.

M O N DAY M O R N I N G Since no campfires are allowed on the grassland, and there are no electrical outlets, breakfast consisted of cold brew coffee, granola bars, and turkey sticks. With no sounds other than the breeze ruffling the grass and our footsteps to compete, the frogs, insects, and birds appeared to be having a shouting match near the water.

As we wound our way back out to Highway 83, I was thankful that we had taken a vehicle suited to off-roading. We reached Highway 1806 just before entering Fort Pierre, and turned southeast. The first portion of 1806 brought more of the gently rolling grassland we had grown accustomed to seeing.

LOWER BRULE Our first stop, just within the boundaries of the Lower Brule Indian Reservation, was the Buffalo Interpretive Center. Open five days a week during the summer, this facility aims to educate the public about the importance of buffalo to the Lakota people, as the Lower Brule Tribe’s herd grazes nearby.

Back on the road, the hills grew steadily, covered with grasses that looked simultaneously lush and sun-bleached. Bits of the Missouri River could be seen to the left, peeking through between the rises. Removing the roof from the Jeep allowed our senses to become fully immersed in the sweet scent of vegetation, the heady aroma of sunbaked earth, and occasionally, the olfactory sledgehammer of a herd of cattle. Intermittently, houses, farms, and tidy country churches popped up near the road.

We stopped at Iron Nation Recreation Area to make an early lunch. Located about 20 minutes outside the town of Lower Brule, the riverside park boasts a playground, picnic area, boat access, restroom facilities, and impressively, a disc golf course.

M O N DAY A F T E R N O O N The drive into Lower Brule is a stunning one. Descending passed the modern Lower Brule Tribal Headquarters and Bureau of Indian Affairs buildings, it becomes clear that this is a community on the upswing. Markers of reservation community hardship are visible, but so are signs of economic development. Clair Green of the Lower Brule Tribe Cultural Resources Office helped us set up an afternoon that promised education, beauty, and greater cultural understanding.

Our first stop in Lower Brule was at Lakota Foods, where Lakota Popcorn is made. The farm that grows the popcorn, located just a few miles down the road, is one of the nation’s largest producers. Inside the factory, acting CEO Tom Livermont, administrative assistant Shawn Smith, and manager Pat Driving Hawk showed us around. They explained that a dozen different popcorn products are made there – including ready-to-eat bags, microwave popcorn, and bags of kernels in varying sizes. Our group watched an employee make ready-to-eat caramel corn from an observation deck above the work floor.

After we said our goodbyes at the popcorn factory, Allen Grassrope from the tribe’s Cultural Resources Office jumped into the

HWY 1806 - NASB - SD

Jeep with us for a tour of the area’s scenic and historic sites. He

started by telling us about the strides the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe have made in the past decade to improve local infrastructure and access to amenities for its people, pointing out a new community center, dental clinic, and school.

We next stopped at the Lower Brule Wildlife Department, which houses an extensive collection of taxidermy representing all of the animals native to the area, before Allen had us pull in to a piece of unmarked property sharing his last name – Grassrope.

He explained that the land belongs to his family, but it is used by the tribe for several cultural purposes. After he shut the gate behind the Jeep, we drove up a hill and around a corner. Sitting before us, invisible to passing traffic, was a real-life earth lodge. Built by Allen and his coworkers as a tribute to the lodgedwelling tribes that lived there before the Lakota, the structure is a fully-functioning educational tool. We walked into the circular dwelling constructed from timbers and earth to find a fire crackling below an open vent in the ceiling. The interior timbers marked out spaces where people would sleep and set up rooms along the walls.

When we reemerged into the daylight, Allen led us up a nearby hill. The trail was steep, but short, bordered by yucca and an occasional prickly pear cactus. We were warned to watch for rattlesnakes, although thankfully, we saw none.

The climb to the top was rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding area. The wind whipped passed as we took it all in – Lake Sharpe, the Missouri River, the popcorn farm, the earth lodge, circular indentations of lodges long gone, and beyond in all directions, Mother Nature’s uninterrupted creation. It made us feel small in the best possible way.

Back in the Jeep, Allen showed us the pump house, which helps irrigate the reservation’s farmland, a few more recreation areas, and even pointed out some secret fishing hot spots. He told us that although the earth lodge and nearby vista are on private property, groups are welcome to call his office for tours.

We left the casino and grabbed firewood at Shelby’s, the next door convenience store. Then, we made a stop for a few grocery items across the street at Dakotamart before heading back to set up the tent.

CHAMBERLAIN | OACOMA T U E S DAY M O R N I N G A bright blue sky greeted us as we crawled out of the tent. After a brief breakfast, we broke camp and returned to Shelby’s for hot coffee to sustain us on the short drive to Chamberlain. The scenery transformed again during this southward jaunt, with blackish brushy pine against sage-hued hills.

The land grew greener closer to Chamberlain, modest ranch houses and farms gave way to vacation homes, and finally, we found ourselves back at I-90. A jaunt one exit west to Oacoma was necessary to check out Al’s Oasis and Old West Trading Post, before making our final stops at the Chamberlain exit for lunch at Gateway West and a quick tour of the South Dakota Hall of Fame. ▫

THE SCOOP

MOBILE BOUTIQUES Clothing stores are coming to you this summer in Rapid City.

Taking a cue from the meteoric rise of food truck culture, local business owners are converting RV’s into mobile boutiques and parking at summer events.

Krista Price owns Boho Betty, a store in the Fairmont Creamery Building selling new, vintage, and altered clothing, in addition to products by South Dakota artisans. The brick-and-mortar store is just a month old, however, having started inside its namesake – a bohemian rocker chic haven of an RV called Been Loved Mobile Boutique.

already established in the local upcycled apparel world when she decided to overhaul a camper, ripping out everything and installing girly wallpaper, light-up shelves, and a dressing area.

Like Price, she sources her inventory from stores and markets all over the country. And although there is no specific style she sells, Labeau’s customers know that if they’re seeking a unique piece, she likely has something for them.

“I’d seen these around in Southern California and thought South Dakota was ready for this,” she said. “And it wasn’t going to put me in $100,000 of debt trying to build my own store, building the inventory and the signage and all that.

My husband and I had Betty – that’s my mobile boutique’s name – and I asked him if we could renovate this and start a store. He was all for it.”

“They can find anything from contemporary vintage, unique items, upcycled,” said Labeau, who lists Sheryl Crow among her style icons. “We do a lot of upcycled denim. We take things and make them different, make them new again.

Handmade jewelry. Jewelry boxes, handbags, unique belts and purses, hats, boots, Converse, we even have some combat boots. Anything that’s fun, trendy or different.”

And the customers responded. After months of gathering inventory from vintage and thrift stores all over the country, Price nearly sold out at her first event.

And although Labeau and Price are running similar businesses in the same city, the pair of fashionistas don’t consider themselves to be in competition. Often, the two mobile boutiques can be found parked side-by-side or caravanning to events. In fact, Price says Labeau gave her important advice when she was getting started.

“I think I had 15 pieces of clothing left,” she said, laughing.

Price isn’t alone in the Rapid City mobile boutique scene.

Elan Labeau, owner of Elan’s Vintage Boutique, was

“It’s hard to find someone who does what you do, who is willing to give you tips – who’s more interested in collaborating than competing,” said Price. “She’s the sweetest lady.”

This summer, look for Elan’s Vintage Boutique in Lead during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Been Loved will be parked and ready for business July 18 during the Black Hills Pride Festival.

THE REAL DEAL BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON

Names: Dan Haggerty // Hometown: Rapid City //Ages: 57 // Specialty: Retail Sales and Visual Merchandising my four children and eight grandchildren. My son adopted three international children and one grandchild is deaf, so we take sign language classes each week!

I see a lot of kids walking in with instruments. What do you offer for lessons?

Dan: In the small rooms up above the retail space are lesson rooms.

We have about 350 students a week that come through to various private teachers. Those private teachers information is online.

If there was no school music program, there’d be no need for them to come here and play. The orchestra program has been recognized nationally multiple times. If you compared Stevens or Central [High School] to a basketball team, we would have won 'State A' for the last 30+ years. We have one heck of a string and band program in Rapid City.

So the school programs are pretty important to Haggerty’s?

DAN HAGGERTY Haggerty’s Musicworks has been a fixture in the Rapid City community for decades, selling reeds for clarinets and bass guitars for bands.

The business was started in 1963 as a department store by Dan Haggerty’s father, which sold instruments in the back. In 1979, Haggerty’s became an official music instrument retailer and Dan took over the retail business. Their large electric guitar sign has become a Rapid City icon, but now Haggerty’s has branched out.

How did you get started with Haggerty’s Music store?

Dan: My background is in visual merchandising and doing displays.

That was my love that started from the department store we had over in Baken Park. Then we bought this space and it went to an instrument retailer. We also have other sides to Haggerty’s now.

As far as the retail side of the store, I’m in charge of the retail side, my brother Tom is in charge of the contracting side, and we have an e-commerce violin store that my nephew Pat runs out of Bozeman, Mont.

What instruments can you play,

and what is your favorite music to listen to?

Dan: I play guitar. My favorite musicians to listen to are my coworkers!

I’m treated to some diverse music, from bands Funk Nasty and Pumpin’ Ethel to the Black Hills Symphony.

What are your favorite music events to attend in the Black Hills?

Dan: My favorite event is the Habitat for Humanity Christmas fundraiser.

Doyle Dykes, one of the world’s top finger-style guitarists, comes from Nashville every year. I love watching the videos produced by Walk Off the Earth. I also love the music at my church, Rimrock, where my brother is the worship leader.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Dan: I have been volunteering for 15 years with International Student Inc. I enjoy woodworking and riding my motorcycle with my wife of 35 years, Lornell. I also spend time with

Dan: Elementary music is crucial to having a band and orchestra program. There’s no question that getting rid of elementary music would cripple the [high school] programs.

In September, we not only rent band and orchestra instruments in Rapid City but we travel all across North West Nebraska, all of Western South Dakota, and Eastern Wyoming. We travel to the schools and rent band instruments to starting fifth graders.

You can start orchestra in fourth grade in Rapid City, and you can start band in fifth grade. So kids get a chance to try both and see which one they want to hone in on.

What types of retail items do you carry at Haggerty’s?

Dan: We are one of the top few independent Epiphone guitar dealers in the nation. There are chain stores and then there’s us. We sell a ton of Epiphone, Taylor, Fender and Gretsch guitars. Those are our primary brands that we carry. We have guitars from $100-4,000. We have amplifiers from $80 to several thousand dollars.

The retail store is referred to as a musical combo store. That’s primarily guitars, and keyboards, amplifiers, those kind of things.

That’s the emphasis of the store throughout the year. We have over 150 string instruments on the wall at any one time.

We also sell a lot of PA gear and lighting. That’s where the crossover between the two businesses kind of starts. My brother is full time in the contracting side of the business and we do digital design for sound systems. Our systems are pretty much at every larger venue around Rapid City - The Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, Main Street Square, and more.

You have such a great showroom!

Dan: Thank you. Our visual impact is very unusual for a music store.

We’ve had multiple music store owners come in and say it’s one of the coolest music stores they’ve ever seen. Everyone works really hard at it. That’s part of being in the lighting business, too. It goes back to my days in the department store Haggerty’s Musicworks is located at 2520 W. Main St, Rapid City. More info: haggertysmusic.com or (605) 348-6737.

LITTLE PARENT ON THE PRAIRIE by Tracy Kirby

(page 48) JULY 2015

I know what you’re thinking. And I know. I don’t even know myself anymore, either.

Then, of course there is the cleaning. I feel like I have been reduced to a cleaning robot. In efforts to provide a sterile environment for a newborn, I feel like almost every moment of my day involves some sort of tidying. But, I have to tell you, it’s the damnedest thing: While I keep cleaning, these people I live with! They just keep eating. They keep wearing clothes. They keep dropping stuff on the floor. And with a gigantic baby subsiding directly in my abdominal cavity, at this point, if it’s on the floor it might as well be in Cuba, because this pregnant gal can’t pick anything up. It’s almost as if nesting has become futile, because my efforts are constantly being undermined by a toddler, a dog, and a grown man.

Thus, in these last days I’ve given up on the cleaning aspect. My mother arrives tomorrow and I will more than appreciate the extra hands and able body, as mine in this state of pregnancy, well, it is just not able. So instead of cleaning, sewing, and all the other insane things I have found myself doing to pass the time these past few weeks, I have taken to just soaking up these precious moments with my daughter.

Our final moments as a trio At the time of this writing, I am a mere seven days away from meeting our new baby boy.

This will be our second child, our first boy, and our first baby we were able to carry to full term. To say we are wildly excited would be a gross understatement, but as we have reached these last several days of waiting, we also find ourselves wildly bored out of our minds and beyond ready to look upon the face of our baby boy.

While I consider myself “Procrastinator Extraordinaire” - to the point I should probably list it on my resume under “skills,” preparing for this baby I have been body snatched and transformed into “Patty Prepared.” The nursery was done weeks ago. I planted my garden.

Blankets have been folded and refolded. All baby gear has been purchased and stored, and to top it off, I even started sewing. People, that’s how real it is: I’m so bored that I am sewing.

I’ve sewn curtains, baby things, baby blankets, and I was just looking at a YouTube tutorial on how to make a tie for my dog.

Image by Crista Ballard

We only have seven days left together with just her and me during the day, so I want to truly make the most of our time. We have spent long days at the park and pool, and yesterday, we spent a long rainy day inside baking. Foolishly thinking baking is a good idea with a fervently independent toddler, I had grand notions of several dozen cookies and a fresh-baked cake awaiting my mother when she arrived. Instead, I found my kitchen looking like a scene out of Twister with only one dozen edible cookies, a broken bowl on the floor, a scared dog cowering in the corner because of the commotion, and a half-eaten cake. Sorry, Mom. But in the end, there was my daughter: Standing on her stool wearing an apron, silly-happy with chocolate smeared all over her face and extremities shouting, “I can’t wait to show Daddy cookies!”

This is it, I thought to myself. These are the moments I’m going to remember forever.

One of my good friends has gotten into the habit of inviting me to her important events day-of. This is the case for our entire friend group. That means most of us already have plans or feel pressure to rearrange our schedules. Should I be offended by this? Is it okay to take a stand and not go, even if I’m free, out of protest?

I just started dating a woman who eats like a picky child. Seriously, it’s all pizza and chicken fingers. She even said, ‘I won’t eat anything green.’ I really like her, but this seems like a big red flag. Am I reading too much into this?

My friend goes to a church that is strictly anti-alcohol. However, she and her husband both drink. She has asked that we don’t post group photos on social media that include them if anyone is holding a beer or if we’re at a bar. Is this a reasonable request?

JR: All my friends do the same thing!

They call me last minute and say things like, “I’m sure you have to work tonight, but if not, I’m having a party in like 20 minutes if you would like to stop over.” It is almost like they are waiting to let me know until the very last minute in the hopes that I won’t be able to make it…

JR: This sounds like a woman of strong conviction. Early on in life she discovered what she likes and refuses to change, despite societal pressure.

Marry this woman. A life filled with pizza and chicken fingers is a good one.

JR: Sounds reasonable. As we all know, religion isn’t about following a set of moral beliefs that you feel strong conviction for; rather, it’s about tricking a group of individuals into thinking that you ascribe to such beliefs. Moreover, I doubt God even knows about social media.

JW: Yes, protest this schedule-terrotist!

These people are the worst, and they do it on purpose. They want to be the victim when you don’t show. It is like the people who walk up to you out of the blue and say, “You probably don’t remember me, but…” and then wait for you to fumble

JW: I know this is a little private, but it is important to ask… Does she call you "daddy" when you’re alone or having "adult time?" If yes, run. There are big time issues to uncover, and let some other schmuck deal with that time bomb.

JT: Bottom line: Do you want your future children drinking Mountain Dew out of their bottles?

Didn’t think so.

JT: It doesn’t sound like your friend is very respectful of your time. Next time this happens, be an adult and tell her that if she truly wants you to participate, you need adequate notice.

Illustration by Chuck Bennis DISCLAIMER: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.

JW: Nope, out this heathen! That’s like asking your friends to cover for you with your spouse while you go have an affair. If they can’t fight the siren song of Jose Cuervo, they shouldn’t be worshiping at the 1st Church of Eliot Ness.

JT: The pressure not to be one’s genuine self is all too common, whether it’s from family or their own deep-seated idea of who they think they’re supposed to be.

Some people aren’t willing to make the sacrifices necessary, as that can mean the loss of one community in favor of another. If this friendship is important to you and you feel that you’re seeing the real side of them, just be respectful and stay off social media when you hang out.

Do you know the facts?

Each month we bring you interesting tidbits about our community and more.

14 Rest stops for travelers are spread along South Dakota’s I-90 and I-29, with nine and five respectively. The areas include bathrooms, picnic tables, information centers and parking for cars as well as semis. Seven of the rest stops are home to tipi sculptures, which reflect the history of the state’s Native Americans.

Find a map of all rest stop locations at sddot.com.

412.76 miles Is the length of Interstate 90 in South Dakota. This section through the state is part of a much larger distance. I-90 is the longest interstate highway and runs east to west from Boston, Mass. to Seattle Wash., totaling 3,020.54 miles, creating an opportunity for a cross-country road trip through the northern United States. Interstate 29 is much smaller, totaling 750.58 miles, with 252.50 of them in South Dakota. The interstate runs north to south from the Canadian border above North Dakota to Kansas City, Mo.

1990

Was the year South Dakota’ first Native American-owned gambling destination, Royal River Casino and Hotel, opened in Flandreau. Since then, nine other casinos have opened in the state by seven of the nine tribes. Gaming is growing in the state’s other casinos as well. A bill passed in February allows craps, keno and roulette to be played in Deadwood starting this month.

Colors of corn are used to create the exterior design of the Corn Palace in Mitchell, just off I-90. Built in 1892, the attraction sees around 500,000 tourists each year and hosts exhibits, graduation ceremonies, stage shows, banquets, and much more. USA Today has selected it as one of the top 10 places in America to host high school basketball. Each year a different theme for the Palace is chosen, and murals are constructed to reflect that theme by nailing each individual ear of corn onto the Palace.

HEALTH PROFILE

TRAVEL HEALTHY International travel is an exciting, enriching experience, but before boarding the plane, it’s important to consider your health. Since the early 1980s, the field travel medicine has emerged to ensure individuals are protected against diseases more common in developing countries and tropical climates, with the Sanford Travel and Immunization Clinic serving the local community since 1991. Sanford Travel Clinic Nurse Terese Kenner, LPN helps us break it down.

WHICH IMMUNIZATIONS… …ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE? It depends on the specific vaccine and insurance company.

…ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED? Yellow Fever is the only vaccine legally required for travel to certain African nations and portions of Panama.

…DOES THE SANFORD CLINIC OFFER? Yellow Fever with governmental stamp Japanese encephalitis Rabies Typhoid Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Meningococcus Polio Tetanus/diphtheria/acellular pertussis Influenza Varicella Shingles Measles, mumps and rubella Haemophilus influenza

…DO I NEED FOR MY NEXT TRIP? Anyone can go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Traveler’s Health website to educate themselves on health concerns in a particular region: cdc.gov/travel.

DIY BY Aryn Hollaren

An air-freshener is a must-have for your road trip. It will keep your vehicle smelling fresh, even after hours spent on the road.

CAR AI R F R ES H E N E R Cost:

Skill level:

Cotton or burlap drawstring favor bag Scented bath salts Fill the bag about halfway with the bath salts.

Close up the bag and hang it from your rear view mirror.

When the scent starts to fade, just replace the bath salts with fresh ones.

South Dakota's only Brazilian-style steakhouse.

It’s all about the meat... but that pineapple, tho.
