ART MAZE II

BY TATIANA GONZALEZ

WHAT: ART MAZE II

WHEN: JULY 7-8 5-11 P.M.

WHERE: L'ABRI BUILDING 401 N PHILLIPS AVE., SIOUX FALLS

“IT’S A CHANCE TO SEE ART AND EXPERIENCE ART IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY.”

S

ome people would view deserted buildings and vacated spaces as useless, or as an eyesore. But, if you’re entrepreneur and artist Zach DeBoer, you see them as an opportunity to highlight the growing art scene in Sioux Falls by using it to host Art Maze II July 7 and 8.

LEMONS FOR A CAUSE This year, sponsor Northwestern Mutual will be there with Alex’s Lemonade Stand (named after cancer patient Alexandra Scott). The Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to raising funds for research into new treatments and cures for all children battling cancer. For more information, visit alexslemonade.org.

“Old places can be used in interesting ways. They don’t have to be knocked down and used as car lots,” explained DeBoer as to why he chooses the buildings he does, like the DM&E Building from the first year.

After the success of Art Maze I, pulling in roughly 5,000 people during one of the coldest days in winter, Art Maze II is an event you can’t skip this summer.

“It’s a chance to see art and experience it in a completely different way,” said DeBoer. “This isn’t just an art show. It's a performance: temporary things that can only be experienced once, giving people a taste of what art can be. It's not just paintings on a white wall; it can be a lot of different things.”

This time around, DeBoer is bringing the art experiment to his home turf, the L'Abri Building, where his company Exposure Gallery & Studios is located downtown.

“The building recently has new owners, who are hoping to refurbish it soon,” explained DeBoer. "But before that happens, they're letting us use half of the main floor, including Exposure, and are letting us take over the basement."

The basement has been sitting empty for around 10 years, says DeBoer.

If you missed the first Art Maze and need a taste of what Art Maze II will bring, DeBoer has some words on his own reaction to the art event.

“Artists took this as an opportunity to do something different that they don’t usually do,” he said. “It’s hard to make some wacky sculpture thing and have a reason.

So, I was blown away how artists pushed and stretched themselves to do something different, something weird.

To do something not made for the purpose of selling, but just to be.”

And don't expect to see the same event. With another group of roughly 30 artists carefully selected by DeBoer, and an entirely new building, be prepared to see a once empty space become completely transformed. Some changes have also been made to give an all-new experience.

“It’s a different space, physically,” he said. “… Expect larger sculptural works, installations, and more environmental walk-throughs and surroundings."

There will also be an outdoor patio that will have a selection of drinks, a food truck, and Alex's Lemonade Stand (see side bar).

DeBoer said, "It will be a great area for people to congregate and enjoy their summer together.”

ART MAZE II WILL TAKE PLACE JULY 7-8 FROM 5-11 P.M. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THE ART MAZE II EVENT PAGE ON FACEBOOK.

Black Hills Stickers

C U LT U R E + E N T E R TA I N M E N T

BY NATALIE SLIETER

"ALL IN ALL, THE STICKERS HAVE BEEN A GREAT WAY TO START THE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PEOPLE’S TRIPS HERE, OR WHY THEY LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH."

W

ho said stickers are just for kids?

Bonzeye Studio owner Bonny Fleming recently started Black Hills Stickers to showcase popular spots for locals and tourists to collect, stick, and show off where they’ve visited in South Dakota.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO VENTURE INTO STICKERS?

BONNY FLEMING: The stickers actually started because I got a button maker. I had a blast coming up with new designs for buttons, and a few of those designs proved popular enough to make the move from button to sticker. I sincerely love the Black Hills, and this road has given me the true pleasure of having a place to celebrate the area. It’s been fun to switch from designing for myself to designing for clients.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOUR DESIGNS? HOW FREQUENTLY DO NEW DESIGNS GET RELEASED? BF: I'm passionate about the area, and living here so long has given me the advantage of knowing where most of the sweet spots are. I’ve taken to using the term “hyper-local,” and these products are targeted towards people who grew up here, and people who hold a special place in their heart for our area’s treasured locations.

I’m always designing new stickers. I have a backlog of about a dozen or so waiting to get printed.

ARE THESE DESIGNS ONLY ON STICKERS, OR ARE THEY FEATURED ON OTHER ITEMS? BF: I’m experimenting with lots of different ways to showcase the designs. I have patches

and hats, and even one little lapel pin. One of the newest developments is collaborating with my friend, Erica Merchant, to get into t-shirt production. I’ve already made a few awesome tank tops and t-shirts with the hopes of getting many more rolling soon.

WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND PUTTING THE STICKERS? BF: I’m only printing durable vinyl stickers, so they can pretty much go anywhere. They're made to take the abuses of adventure and weather. I’ve had lots of people buy them for their kayaks or boats, but they’re mostly going on cars and water bottles.

WHY ARE THESE FUN FOR TRAVELERS? BF: I had one family come in - a mom, dad, and two teenage daughters. The girls saw the “Hippy Hole” sticker and asked what it was all about.

I told them it was a local swimming hole, and they freaked out. The girls were thrilled and preemptively bought the stickers. The family returned a few days later and told me it was the highlight of their visit to the Black Hills. They thanked me and bought a bunch more stickers to share with friends and family when they got home. It's my goal to create stickers for all the unique areas here in order to simultaneously inspire people to explore, and provide them with a locally inspired, totally unique trinket that reminds them of their trip.

YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE MY WORK FROM ... Firehouse Brewing Company's building, the side of the Elks Theatre, or the Central States Fairgrounds.

letter-based work, either. I recommend watching a movie that opened my eyes up a little to the world of street art called Exit Through the Gift Shop.

modeling work, but am in the very beginning stages of that. I've had a love for sculpture ever since high school, and I still continue to have a love for it.

MY HISTORY WITH ART ALLEY ... goes back to when I was 16 years old.

David Horan, my art teacher from Douglas High School, took us down there for a field trip, and it opened my eyes to a whole new world. That's when my love of street art began. Looking back, I have to laugh, because my work was of beginner quality, but we all have to start somewhere. Some of my work that was in the alley consists of "The Sleeping Girl," the "Art Speak Girl," "The Old Man’s Face," the "Love Mural," and, as some people refer to it, the "Michael Angelo mural."

MY LOVE FOR TRAVEL CAME FROM ... being a military brat. The cultures that I was able to experience opened my eyes to a world that was so new to me, and I can never seem to get enough.

I LIVE IN ... the heart of Rapid City, S.D.

IT'S COOL THAT PEOPLE TRAVELING IN DOWNTOWN RAPID CITY WILL SEE MY WORKS BECAUSE ... pictures say a thousand words. People are opened to a world of art and the idea that street art can be so much more than what they may be used to.

THE MOST DIFFICULT GRAFFITI PIECE I WORKED ON WAS ... a graffiti mural down in Boston, Massachusetts that was completed to open a dialogue amongst the community to hear stories of how the Boston Marathon bombings had affected them, and give them a shoulder to lean on if they needed. The wind in Copley Square was blowing at about 30-40 miles per hour, and we were painting on a piece of billboard vinyl 15 feet tall by 30 feet long, tied between trees, so it would move while we were trying to paint it. It was the most difficult, but the most rewarding at the same time. This was the project that birthed the nonprofit called About This Life Inc.

I STARTED GETTING INTO ART WHEN ... I was 7 years old and living in Germany. I would get bored during church sermons and began drawing the people that were around me, and anything else that came to mind. I went to a flea market and watched an artist create beautiful photo-realistic collages of family photos using chalk pastels, and that is when my fascination for portraits began.

1 8 \\\\\\\\\ J U LY

WHAT SOME PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND ABOUT STREET ART IS ... that it's an art form and not just tagging or graffiti. It isn’t just

I STARTED ABOUT THIS LIFE INC. BECAUSE ... Sara Johnson Levy, Derek Smith, and myself wanted to start a nonprofit organization that uses street art to bring light to different topics in communities throughout the world to show people the power that art has to not only help heal, but to bring together communities.

FOR OTHER ART ... I do some 3D

ONE HABIT I HAVE IS ... forgetting to rest. I was always taught to work hard for what I wanted, and so that’s all I have ever known. When you do what you love for a living, it’s easy to get lost in your work, and you begin to continue to take on more and more. Sometimes I stretch myself a little thin.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING ON ART, I'M TYPICALLY ... spending time trying to polish and build on my relationships with my family and friends.

It's something that I sometimes overlook and take for granted.

RIGHT NOW I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT ... a baby that I have on the way.

FIELD NOTES & FIXATIONS

BY THOMAS HENTGES

July TWENTY SEVENTEEN

FIELD NOTES & FIXATIONS: THE GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP

O THE JALAN CROSSLAND BAND the dirt it sprouts out of.

TEN SLEEP, WYOMING SINGER-SONGWRITER, JALAN CROSSLAND, HAS BEEN AT HIS CRAFT NOW FOR MORE YEARS THAN HE WOULD PROBABLY ADMIT. Known for his guitar and banjo picking, often humorous lyrics, and witty stage banter, Crossland has carved a name for himself in the modern Americana scene with seven albums and several years on the road. I recently got a chance to catch up with him to talk tunes, home, and how he came into his own on stage.

THOMAS HENTGES: In your earliest years, what musical realm did you find yourself in?

JALAN CROSSLAND: I grew up listening to my uncle play old-time and bluegrass on the banjo. My mother and her hairy friends spun vinyl records of bands that would now fit under the Americana umbrella: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and Taj Mahal.

TH: Over the years, you have forged a reputation as a troubadour, alongside being a dedicated rural resident. Have you ever called anywhere outside Ten Sleep, Wyoming home?

JC: Nope. I've lived in a lot of places for brief periods, but Ten Sleep has always been home. It wasn't a conscious choice any more than a plant chooses

CHECK OUT ON SPOTIFY

TH: When not traveling or playing music, what might we find Jalan Crossland up to?

JC: Nerdy things, mostly. I've been an avid, if mediocre, chess player since I was a kid. I read everything I can bring into focus.

Dig sci-fi movies. Really, really good at playing [the game] Plants vs Zombies.

Oh, I know a thing that's not nerdy - I love riding motorcycles and looking tough and thuggish!

TH: Having seen you perform, I was not only taken by your songs and musicianship, but also by your honest, witty, and entertaining stage banter. Have you always felt at ease in communicating with your audience in a live setting?

JC: Absolutely not! I did fine as a sideman in bands, but as soon as I was the front man, requiring talking, I was petrified to the point of numbness.

Years of doing it has made it better.

I've learned what I'd imagine a lot of performers have, which is to separate your bold, witty, charismatic stage self from your tentative, dull, quiet-evening-at-home self. Both selves are real and necessary parts of a personality, but when I put on the hat and guitar, walk on stage, and the chicken heads start wringin', and the toenails start flyin', there's no room for meekness or insecurity. You must control that scene, and you realize that that's exactly what your audience wants you to do. They aren't against you, cynically noting your every mistake ... they want you to succeed. I still get nervous

before going on, but it's good nerves now, more enthusiastic anticipation.

TH: Your July 16 show at Miner Brewing Company has you returning to familiar territory. It seems the Black Hills community has really embraced you and your music over the years. Do you feel a connection with the area?

JC: I adore the Black Hills; the people, the music scene, the natural beauty, the bike rally, Gorgonzola Beer Cheese Soup at the Firehouse [Brewing Company], cigars at Tinder Box [Rapid City], oyster shots in Deadwood, Halley's Store in Keystone, B-17 models at Who's Hobby [House], walking through the drive-thru after a late night at Paddy O'Neill's, listening to Steve Thorpe and James Van Nuys ... I've been playing music in the Hills for a very long time. And the folks at the Miner Brewing Company have been so good to the band and me. They are great people with a cool venue, and we always look forward to playing music there.

PAM'S PURPLE DOOR:

BY ALANA SNYDER

12 PERSON VACATION RENTAL

"IF YOU LIKE HISTORY LIKE WE DO, YOU’LL FIND IT VERY FASCINATING,” SAID RICK OLESEN, OWNER OF WILD BILL'S TRADING POST AND CO-OWNER OF THE WILD BILL BAR IN DEADWOOD. Olesen, who is caretaker of the space for the Texas owner, let us in at the entrance behind the bar, which revealed a staircase leading upstairs. We were about to walk into not just any historical property - it was the former site of Pam's Purple Door. Luckily, for travelers, the formal brothel has been remodeled into a modern five bedroom, four bathroom vacation rental in the heart of downtown Deadwood.

Pam's Purple Door was part of the May 21, 1980 FBI and South Dakota agent raid and was headed by legendary madam Pam Holliday. The second floors of buildings 610, 612, 614, and 616 on Main Street had operated as "rooming houses" (as they were listed in the telephone directories), and were more commonly identified by colors of their street-level entrances: Green, white, purple (Holliday's), and beige.

Until that day, there had been no city ordinance passed to outlaw prostitution, despite state laws making it illegal.

2 2 \\\\\\\\\ J U LY

"[Pam] had the girls up here, and it was illegal, but it was ‘lookthe-other-way’ prostitution all the way up until 1980," said Olesen.

From the corner of Wall Street to the end of town was dubbed "The Badlands."

“The reason it was called The Badlands since day one is because Seth Bullock, who was an upstanding citizen and owned the hotel, became the first marshal and sheriff," said Olesen. "After being sick of the area, he took a stick, and literally drew a line in the dirt street and said, ‘You guys keep all this down here … you come on this side and we have a problem.'"

At one point, says Olesen, there were around 75 casinos on that side of town, and if there was a second floor, it was likely there was a brothel. The rental is located directly across the street

A Historical Getaway

"THIS IS WHERE ALL THE BAD STUFF HAPPENED." THE Rooms: CERTAIN ROOMS IN PAM'S PURPLE DOOR HAVE THEMES AND SHORT STORIES THAT ARE INSPIRED BY REAL PEOPLE AND EVENTS. SUSIE'S ROOM This was Susie's work room.

She had been with Dixie (the last madam of the "Green Door" brothel) for 10 years.

Susie was a bit of a Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde type. The room where Susie lived was done in more conservative tans, rusts, and golds. Susie was, however, an interesting personality. She had a gold star embedded in her front tooth, and she wore a diamond earring in her nose. Susie was a really fun person.

GIRLS' PARLOR This was the Girls' Parlor. This is where the girls could relax, read, watch television, do bead work, or anything that any woman does in her spare time. When the doorbell rang, the girls would step into the hallway and wait until Dixie had the men seated. They would then come into the Gentlemen's Parlor and introduce themselves one at a time. The man would pick a girl, and they would go to her room to discuss business.

TUB ROOM This was the tub room until, in the early 1940s, a girl was murdered in here. The other girls caught her stealing money and tricks, so they beat her to death in the bathtub. Since then, the tub room has been locked and never used again, except for storage.

The modern day, "party" amenities include a full karaoke machine, a smart TV, and a con"At one time, with the working ladies and trolled disco ball. the saloons, [that area of town] was turning $10,000 a night in the 1870s, which is like $100,000 in today’s money," said Olesen.

"That’s where everyone went for their vices.”

He says the town turned its head to prostitution as long as they followed "unspoken rules," like regular doctor checkups and keeping quiet. If there were too many complaints, they would 'handle it.'"

Olesen and his wife, Margi, went back and forth on whether to purchase the space, but ended up finding a friend to purchase the level.

“We all had to come to the table and buy all of these buildings," he said. "We found my friend [entrepreneur] Tommy Merritt for this project, and another buyer for the other brothel, which is now Sick Boy [Motorcycles Store].”

“IT’S A GREAT PARTY ATMOSPHERE WITH GREAT VIEWS OF DOWNTOWN DEADWOOD.”

Each room has a theme, and some have heavier themes than others. The room everyone will fight for is (not surprisingly) Pam's Room.

An homage to the madam, the room has purple wallpaper, red ceiling lights, and a slipper bathtub in the bedroom.

Olesen smiled, "It’s a playful thing off of the history of the space."

Another playful aspect of the room, and another nod to brothels, is the bidet in "Pam's" bathroom.

Through the bedroom window, you can actually see where the FBI stakeout took place back in 1980.

“[The FBI] sat out here for part of the year and documented the number of bath towels being hung on the clothes lines," explained Olesen.

AT HOME THE ADAMS HOUSE

O DINING ROOM One of the biggest highlights of the dining room is the china from Bavaria, Germany, made by Heinrich & Company. “They have an 18k gold charger plate. It has a porcelain center, and you warm it up in the oven, put it under your plate of food, and it keeps your food warm for a couple of hours,” said McGinnis. “Meals back then lasted two to three hours, so chargers really had a purpose.”

A small door is located in the dining room, which hides Harris Franklin’s safe that he put in the home in 1892. When Mary closed up the home (see Frozen in Time), she left the good silver (which have W.E. Adams initials on each piece) and gold pieces inside.

T

he historic Adams House in Deadwood was built in 1892 and has been home to two prominent families – the Franklins and the Adams. The Victorian Queen Anne-style home includes oak interiors, hand-painted canvas wall coverings, four stained glass windows, and was unique in that it had modern, 19th century plumbing, electricity, and telephone service.

Harris and Anna Franklin (of the Franklin Hotel) hired a Chicago architect to build the home for around $8,000-$10,000. After Anna’s passing, Harris sold it to his son, Nathan, for $1. In 1920, William Emery (W.E.) and Alice Adams moved in with their family (second wife Mary later moved in).

Deadwood history executive director Carolyn Weber and docent Bonnie McGinnis gave 605 a tour of the home, which still has all of the original furnishings.

2 6 \\\\\\\\\ J U LY

The “tech-savvy” home also had servants buttons in every room, which activate a light-up panel that let servants know in which room they were needed. The dining room was also customized to ensure efficient service.

THERE ARE THREE DESIGN MOVEMENTS IN THE DINING ROOM: VICTORIAN, ARTS AND CRAFTS, AND ART DECO.

“The servants button in this room isn’t on the wall, it’s under the table,” said McGinnis.

“There is an outlet by the chair leg, and you simply insert the button and tap it with your foot, and servants would come in from the kitchen.”

HOME + LIVING

O LIBRARY “We have an extensive library that all belonged to W.E. Adams’ family,” said McGinnis. “He was an avid reader. He loved reading the classical and contemporary literatures. He also subscribed to the East and West Coast newspapers to keep up on things.”

Near the bookcase is a 1914 H.T. Cushman smoking stand that also has a humidor and built-in lighter.

W.E.’s desk sits in the middle of the library, with the Adams family Bible still sitting open. This displays the tragic chapter of his life. Lucile, his oldest daughter with his wife, Alice, married and moved off to Detroit.

Three years later, she passed away from typhoid fever.

Helen, the youngest, married and moved to California, and announced in 1925 that she was expecting a baby. Soon after, Alice was diagnosed with cancer, but managed to make the trip to California to be there for her daughter. She died shortly after arriving.

“When Helen found out her mother had passed away, she went into premature childbirth, and then Helen died in childbirth,” said Weber. “The next morning, the infant daughter passed away. So [W.E.] lost his wife, his daughter, and his granddaughter in a 48 hour period.”

He returned to an empty house and sat at his desk to write a passage about his sadness.

Weber pointed to the desk, “This is where he wrote the deaths of his family, and it is said that the ink blob on the page is a tear.”

“THE BREAKFAST NOOK WAS A GREENHOUSE AND USED TO HAVE A GLASS ROOF. HARRIS’ WIFE, ANNA, GREW EXOTIC FLOWERS OUT THERE. BUT, TO THEIR SURPRISE, THEY DIDN’T REALIZE HOW HARSH OUR WINTERS WERE WITH ALL OF THE SNOW AND HAIL.”

THE FRANKLINS TOOK ALL OF THEIR FURNITURE WITH THEM, SO EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE REFLECTS THE TIME PERIOD OF WHEN THE ADAMS LIVED THERE FROM 1920 TO 1934.

RIN REMEMBRANCE OF W.E.'S BELOVED PIT PULL, PATSY, DEADWOOD CELEBRATES PATSY'S DAY EVERY APRIL. PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE A FREE TOUR IN EXCHANGE FOR DONATIONS FOR A LOCAL SHELTER.

O THE PARLOR As you move from the library into the formal entertainment room, you walk through a pass-through area with an Italian marble sink (one of three in the house).

“Harris and Anna’s guest would all arrive here, dusty from the unpaved streets, and they’d freshen up right here. It’s like an early powder room,” said McGinnis.

As Weber mentioned, people of that era typically put their “best foot forward” with the main floor, as that was seen by guests and reflected their reputation.

The Adams' formal room did not disappoint, with a gorgeous piano (there are over 100 pieces of sheet music still in the bench) and another fireplace with a heat shield.

In the formal room is a photograph of W.E. and Mary. It was then that the guides gave us a little more background. Mary was from Lead and was a teacher up the hill. She was widowed by her husband, who passed away from influenza in 1917. It was then that she moved to California and began studying at what is now UCLA. “She would take the train back to see her family, and it was on a train ride that she met W.E.,” said McGinnis.

She went on to describe the "unlikely" couple, as W.E. was wealthy, Mary was from a working class family; she was a devote Roman Catholic, he was an Episcopalian; and he was 73 and she was 29.

“You would think their age gap would be the biggest gossip, but it wasn’t,” she said. “It was back when there were more town rivalries, and Deadwood wasn’t happy she was from Lead.”

They were married in June of 1927.

There is also a photograph of Mary’s niece, Molly Mastrovich. McGinnis said, “She was like a daughter to Mary. She never had children, and they were very close.”

“THE ADAMS TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF ASIAN INFLUENCE IN THE POTTERY, VASES, AND OTHER PIECES AROUND THE HOME.”

HOME + LIVING

O FROZEN IN TIME When W.E. died after suffering a massive stroke in 1934, Mary was left alone in the large house. After staying in the home for a few years, she suddenly moved to California and left everything behind her.

“She left everything behind; all of the furniture, the china, and even her cookies in the cookie jar – we still have them in the kitchen. They’re 80 years old now, I believe,” said McGinnis.

The house sat vacant and in silence for 51 years, and it’s a mystery to this day as to why she abandoned her belongings and personal memorabilia.

Even when she would come back and visit, Mary wouldn’t stay in her home.

“Sometimes she had guests over, gave a few private tours, and played Bridge in the house. She never stayed over in the house again, but would stay over in the Franklin Hotel,” she said. “We’re not sure why, but she told everyone that it was haunted. We think she told people that to keep out the vandals.”

THERE IS 14K GOLD STRIPING AROUND THE UPSTAIRS BATHTUB.

In 1987, due to age and her health, Mary sold the home to a couple who promised not to change anything historically. They briefly made it into a bed and breakfast. It wasn’t until 1992 that the home was purchased by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission, and they decided to renovate the home and “bring it back to its original splendor.”

In the year 2000, it opened to tourists.

Into the Canyon

very summer, 605 buckles up into the almighty Jeep Wrangler, (lightly) arguing over whether to play EDM music or the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, and heads somewhere in our great state to explore. Realizing the majority of us had never been through Spearfish Canyon, we decided it was time to change that. And after being splashed and caked with mud, discovering that goat cheese and blueberry flavors mix impressively well as ice cream, and conquering a fear of heights (and testing our pride) – we’re very glad we did.

“SOME PEOPLE DON’T WANT A TV, AND WILL BE OUTSIDE AND PLAY CARDS. SOME WILL GRAB CHAIRS AND SIT ON THE PATIO.”

TIPS gWickup Village Cabins grandfathers visitors if they stay for the Sturgis Rally.

You will get first dibs if you want it the following year. Some have taken them up on the offer for 11 years now. gYou can either be chatty with the team or be secluded. Self check-in is available.

CHECKING IN

Making a pit stop for bratwursts and other German goodness at The Sled Haus in Lead, we kept west on Us Highway 14a (which turns into Us Highway 85), and drove 200 yards past the country-cozy Cheyenne Crossing until we saw the wooden, campground-like sign for Wickiup Village Cabins on the right. As we slowly pulled through the self-explanatory cabin village, we saw groups grilling outside at picnic tables, people walking along Spearfish Creek, and we passed a woman waving from a golf cart.

Manager Starla Heller handed us our key and gave us a tour of our three-bedroom cabin. Each of the 20 cabins has their own name, as they’re all unique. Cabins are available for two, four, or six people.

“We call all of them ‘rustic modernized,’ because we upgraded them,” explained Heller. “They used to just have wood-burning stoves inside, no bathrooms, and a shower house.”

Now they all have bathrooms, kitchens, and many have smart TVs. One of the cabins that "goes fast" is right on the creek and has a screened-in porch and hot tub.

“We cater to people who want to camp, but they still want all of those luxuries of home,” she said.

“They’re like me… I like to camp, but I need a bathroom, dangit!”

The village, which works for reunions, weddings (some show up and elope on one of their beautiful

bridges), or simple getaways, is celebrating 80 years this year. The latest owners, Les and Jackie Wolff, have owned it for 11 years and live on the property. Heller, who has been there for three years, explained how close they are with visitors, and that she loves to help plan her “campers’” trips over the phone before they get there if they have questions.

“I actually get more holiday cards and gifts from my campers than from my friends,” she laughed.

Before calling over Jackie and Les to introduce them, she took us by the creek and explained that attendees can use the community fire pit and picnic shelter and can fish and rent tubes.

“I get high-fives from parents at night, because their kids are pooped,” she said. “Last year I had nine adults rent tubes for a re-

union, and they were floating with their beers and margaritas.”

We said hello to the owners – who were the golf cart drivers – before we went for a beer nearby at Recreational Springs Resort (which we would be returning to in the a.m.).

When we returned, Les was chatting it up with a group of fishermen, who stay annually.

After mentioning we were hoping to have a bon fire, Les and Jeremy (one of the fishermen whose last name I didn’t catch), jolted to work, grabbing firewood in the dark and quickly stoking a fire for us.

It was like an old Western movie, with canned beer around the fire, talking to strangers who'd become fast friends. We were genuinely depressed when we found out we were missing the fishermen’s goodbye BBQ by one day.

33

Our full time team now consists of a trio – publisher Alana Snyder (me), director of sales and marketing John Snyder, and art director Liz Painter. Timing out perfectly, we had meetings and a news appearance in Rapid City (what’s up, KOTA Territory News), so we went right from work to the fun/vacation work.

ON THE TRAILS We said our goodbyes to Les, Jackie, and Starla and were already in talks to make a return trip to the place that felt like home away from home. We took the (very) short drive to Cheyenne Crossing. The quaint tourist shop is also a restaurant. I later found it has been a landmark since 1878 when the Deadwood-Cheyenne stagecoach stopped there on its regular route to and from Cheyenne, Wyoming and Deadwood, South Dakota. The café was added in the 1930s, and the newer, larger facility opened in 1960 after a fire destroyed the original the year before.

Priding themselves on “old-fashioned hospitality and down home cooking,” we were stoked for their breakfast. I ordered the housemade Sourdough Pancakes with an egg and a side of sausage. Tasting like it came right from the campgrounds (in a delicious way), and expanding out the width of the entire plate, I inhaled it. We also dabbled with the table games (and Liz solved the marble puzzle in 60 seconds – kudos again).

Making our way back to Recreational Springs Resort (a.k.a. Rec Springs) for a UTV ride, we found out there were some issues with a UTV, and the team wouldn’t be back to ride with us and rent them out for at least 30 minutes. We got all checked in and wrote our life away (just kidding … kind of) and grabbed a much needed cup of coffee after our bon fire.

Rentals manager Daren Nattress and owners Anita Sandberg and Will Chamley (and son Charlie Chamley) were all accounted for and ready to go, so we all were fitted for helmets, put on our proper eyewear, and

were off down the highway. I road with Nattress, luckily, and Liz road with John as the driver.

After 5-10 minutes, we turned onto a trail at what felt like high speeds. I realized I stopped breathing for a few minutes, because you're literally in the Hills. It felt like we were barely making it through between the 80-foot spruce trees. As I typed my notes about it, a branch came into the UTV and smacked my helmet. The irony wasn’t lost on me.

The first stop was the summit of Terry Peak – the second highest peak in the Black Hills (the first being Black Elk Peak – formerly Harney Peak). Nattress took us up to the observation deck and told us you can see five states from there.

“On a clear day you can see Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana,” he said, as he pointed.

Walking back down the stairs after taking in the breathtaking views (I lost a lot of breath that day), Sandberg told me this is their third year of rentals. They have 12 UTV RZRs (we drove the brand new RZR 900 with two, four, and eight-seaters available), and have 30 snowmobiles for the winter.

While they can’t give guided tours, they can help you plan your own.

“We’re fortunate to have Daren, because he’s so familiar with the local places. If you say you want to ride for

two hours, for example, he can suggest places, spots of interest, and mark them for you on the trail map,” she said.

Liz switched to driver at, unbeknownst to her, the worst time. The way down the trail was insanely steep, with a trail made completely of rocks. When I asked Nattress if this was one he would recommend to novice riders, he laughed, “Oh, no. If I were to rate this, I would rate it at expert level.”

Liz and the rest of us made it, and we continued through the winding roads, overlooked canyons (where I finally got the courage to take the wheel), and muddy puddles. It was cute at first, but then it began to rain. I take that back – it began to pour. Liz had swapped into my UTV to keep me calm as I got used to driving (which ended up being a blast), and we were “old lady tavern cackling” as we soon were drenched from the deep puddles. We didn’t care anymore and just booked it through them, dousing us.

After stopping to (briefly) look at the gorgeous Annie Creek Falls, we high-tailed it out of there, as it was downpouring at that point. Driving down the highway back to Rec Springs, we were screaming bloody murder as much as we were laughing. Since this UTV only had half a windshield, we were getting hammered with large raindrops, which felt like knives stabbing our faces.

Those 10 minutes felt like a lifetime. Once we arrived back, we changed clothes, thanked our amazing hosts, and headed to Spearfish to warm up.

“IT’S A LOT OF THE BLACK HILLS YOU DON’T NORMALLY GET TO SEE. MOST PEOPLE JUST SEE IT FROM THE HIGHWAYS.”

TIP

34

gDress to get messy. It’s more fun that way, and you’ll be prepared. Bags and valuables are strapped to the back, but be aware. It’s ideal to have a water-resistant bag to protect your belongings. Also, don’t forget your valid driver’s license to drive.

FACT gYou can enjoy over 600 miles of trails in the Black Hills.

TIP gDon’t miss Dustin’s Camping in the Wood Breakfast Burrito (flour tortilla stuff with hash browns, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, picante sauce, and the choice of crumbled bacon, sausage, or diced ham; served with sour cream and two eggs on the side). We had two chances to do this, heard everyone rave about it, and messed up and forgot. For shame.

UTV VS. ATV

35

ATVs are typically meant for single riders (sometimes two) and are driven by straddling the seat like a saddle. UTVs are side-by-side seats that are bench or bucket seats, and can have multiple riders.

TIP gHave plenty of cash with you.

Places like Dough Trader Pizza and Sled Haus take cash only. They have ATMs on site, but bring some cash if you want to avoid the fees.

A C H A N C E TO WA R M U P Since we love Harriet & Oak in Rapid City, we had to stop by one of owner Aaron Neiman’s two establishments in Spearfish, Blackbird Espresso. It had the staples: great coffee, homemade poptarts and other treats (Liz wouldn’t shut up about the chocolate chip cookie she ate), and thoughtful hand-stamped marketing touches (is it weird that I’m obsessed that most of Neiman’s businesses have free lemon water?).

36

Charged by caffeine, and thawed out from the coffee’s heat, we headed to lunch at Dough Trader Pizza. The Bell family has owned the building since the 1950s, and I didn’t realize I was speaking to the Kristen Bell,

who told me to call her “K Bell” after chatting for a few minutes.

She was super chill and so easy to talk to.

The Italian restaurant makes their sourdough crust fresh daily from an 1880 sourdough starter, and they have been named “One of the Midwest’s Best Pizzerias” by Midwest Living. Needless to say, we were jazzed to be there.

After ordering a craft beer and some wine, we let Bell pick the menu. Her amazing team brought us one of their gourmet, specialty pizzas – the Betty Rizzo. The beauty, served on a high platter for room and convenience, had Alfredo

sauce, a cheese blend, garlic, grande pepperoni, Roma tomatoes, purple onions, basil, and a balsamic glaze.

The glaze … the beautiful, beautiful glaze.

On the healthier side, we had the chance to try the Epic Kale salad with kale, rainbow quinoa, purple onion, cherry tomato, Parmesan, and lemon with homemade creamy ginger chive dressing. Trying to fight being full, we also had the Bacon Beets Goat salad, with spring greens, purple onion, cherry tomato, roasted beets, goat cheese, candied bacon, and homemade sweet ‘n’ savory dressing.

I can’t wait to go back and try even

more pizza options, and I’ll pretend I’ll try more salad (but that pizza).

Did you think we were full? You’re right! But we still needed local craft beer! We waddled on over to Crow Peak Brewing Company to say hi to co-owner and head brewer Jeff Drumm. He gave us a tour in the back, and mentioned they’re looking to expand their production side soon. We ordered a few beers and enjoyed them outside.

Wishing we could hang out with Drumm longer for one more, we needed to get back into the canyon to check in to Spearfish Canyon Lodge.

FISHING FOR A GOOD EVENING When you drive up to Spearfish Canyon Lodge, it’s a moment. The serene backdrop of the Hills with the enchanting lodge alongside Spearfish Creek was like a painting or a postcard of something that didn’t seem real.

We checked into the Custer Suite, which had photos going along with the theme, a fireplace, a comfy futon, and two folded robes on the bed for the hot tubs with Dakota the Bear (stuffed) atop them greeting us.

Walking back to the epic lobby with the renowned 40-foot fireplace, we met up with maintenance supervisor Mark Gouldner to give us tips on fly-fishing. Spearfish Canyon Lodge offers packages for snowmobiling in the winter and fly-fishing in the warmer months, and also now offers UTV packages.

The fly-fishing package includes two-night’s lodging, a fishing license

for two (one-day licenses), a cocktail for two, and breakfast for two at the Latchstring Inn. It’s steps away from the entrance to fish for mountain suckers, long-nose suckers, rainbow, brook, and brown trout.

Luckily we didn’t actually have bait, because – while Liz excelled – I was rough (roll casting was a challenge for me). Gouldner was so patient, and tried to help me as best as he could. I’m up for the challenge again when I’m back.

We headed back into Spearfish for dinner at Killian’s Food & Drink.

While it could sound Irish, it shares its name with the co-owner Nick Caton’s son. The modern, fresh restaurant just finished a remodel as of May 2.

The eclectic menu (think Frog Legs, Sashimi Nachos, and Lamb Toast) seemed to have a little of everything, so it was right on the nose when the “about” portion said

it was “an eclectic little drinking hole focused on craft beer and craft food.” It also says, which I now can attest to, that they pride themselves with blending “old” and “new,” from classic French cooking techniques to gluten free, farm to table entrees and sides.

“We cook everything from scratch, so it was really easy to take that leap,” said Caton of their menu freedom.

“Vegetarian? No problem. Gluten free? No problem.”

First up were the Brussel Sprouts, Bacon, and Goat Cheese. Confession: I’ve never tried brussel sprouts, and this was the best introduction.

Second up was the Gouda Jalapeno. This flavorful twist on a burger had house-pickled jalapenos, gouda cheese, and jalapeno aioli. Talk about a good burn! My bratwurst tour continued with the Banger ‘n’ Mashed, which had a grilled bratwurst on mashed potatoes, with

braised cabbage, and au jus. The star, for me, was Funk's Salmon, which is in memory of late artist Shawn Funk*.

A stop at Killian’s is always special, since you never know exactly what will be on the ever-evolving menu.

And that’s a good thing.

“The key is to keep people guessing and keep people coming back,” said Caton.

Back to the Canyon we went, and we bellied up to the bar at our lodging.

We sat next to a brother and sister in their 30s who always wanted to come to the area, and had taken a one-way ticket to Wyoming to start at Yellowstone and work their way through South Dakota along the (long) way home. Unprompted, we gave them our two cents on what they should stop at, which – looking back –was unrealistic.

“IF SOMEONE WANTS INDIAN FOOD, BUT THEIR SPOUSE WANTS A CHEESEBURGER, THIS FITS ALL NEEDS.”

FACT

FACT gBoth lodges were very pet friendly, and Spearfish Canyon Lodge had pet waste stations.

gThe two bicycles hanging in Killian’s Food & Drink reprepsent two sides of bicycle culture that are prevalent in Spearfish. One belonged to deceased artist *Shawn Funk (who passed away after an automobile accident leaving Killian’s in 2008).

That represents cruiser, hipster, and retro-college vibes.

The other was given by entrepreneur Jim Meyer, who founded Quarq Technology and sold it to SRAM. “The Meyer bike (the first mountain version of the Spearfish mountain bike made by Salsa) represents the culmination of sport technology that is so important to Spearfish,” he said.

FACT gCaton’s wife owns Barbacoa’s Burritos & Wraps in Spearfish.

“I’VE HEARD IT’S ONE OF THE TOPFIVE STREAMS IN THE COUNTRY FOR TROUT FISHING.”

TIP gFor beginners, Buckman recommends trying climbs in the **Custer area.

R I S I N G TO T H E C H A L L E N G E “Dude, you have to try their burrito,” he said as he sat

down to let us finish our meals (see Cheyenne Crossing tip).

We wrapped up and followed Buckman to a parking lot, where he pulled out a tub of rock climbing shoes. Liz (and I … but I didn’t say anything) is leery/terrified of heights, so our stomachs began to turn as we tried on sizes.

To ensure it didn’t mess with the purpose – to grip on the rock – we used a caribiner to clip them to our backpacks and keep them off the ground. “This is a short but steep hike,” warned Buckman.

He wasn’t kidding about the steep part. We arrived to the summit Sylvester’s Sidewalk, and Buckman started showing us how to get into our harnesses and

39

Exhausted from the previous day, we rose around 6:30 a.m. to check out and head towards our old friend, Cheyenne Crossing, to meet Will Buckman to go rock climbing. He was taking us as a friend, but on a normal day, he is a certified instructor with over 10 years of experience and can guide throughout the Black Hills.

how to calm ourselves. “While it’s physical, it’s also very mental,” he said. “It’s like chess or checkers, where you’re always strategizing.”

Liz, the most anxious, was volunteered to be the belayer.

This keeps a climber from falling too far by using friction on the rope, including the rope, anchors, a belay device, and the actual belayer. I was third hand to help hold the rope in case she panicked, since she had never done it before.

Buckman was our lead climber, who goes first without support at the beginning and clips rope to bolts, and rappels down when he’s finished. He made it look like a cakewalk, and I swear at one point he slithered to one side of the rock.

John nearly reached the top his first go. I, on the other hand, used my chalk bag several times on my sweaty hands, and could never find the right ledge or grip. Everyone cheered me on, though, and Buckman had the great tip to always extend my legs completely to gain strength, and to have the chance to find somewhere to grip.

I almost got halfway, and was very proud of myself (even though Buckman gave me three to four more chances to keep going after falling/ slamming against the rock to keep going).

On our hike back, we stopped at Pakistani. For background, there is the Yosemite Decimal System (YDS). The Class 5 portion (5.0 to 5.15) is typically rock climbing (others are walks, hikes, etc. in the United States and Canada). We found out Sylvester’s Sidewalk was a 5.7 and Pakistani was a 5.9**.

Buckman gave it a (successful) whirl, and John got past halfway his first try. Of course.

40

As we hiked back to our cars, Buckman said, “This is what I love to do, to show people how rad the Black Hills are from the end of a rope.”

We bid adieu in the same parking lot, and Liz made plans to hopefully do more climbs with him in the next year in Custer, which I’m also very interested in.

A SWEET ENDING We swung back into town and stopped

by High Mountain Outfitters, since that is where Buckman also works and is recommended for climbs (his individual business is Buck Wild Climbing Guides). After checking out their outdoor essentials and grabbing some t-shirts and stickers, we went next door to the Leones’ Creamery.

People said, “You can’t miss Leones’,” and they weren’t just saying that. The adorable shop has “Scoop it Forward,” where you can “treat a friend anonymously” and buy them however many scoop, and it goes on a chalkboard. The flavors of the day were Vanilla Bean, Coffee & Cookies, Piña Colada, Dark Chocolate, Ginger Chocolate Chunk, Toasted Almost Chip, Blueberry Goat’s Cheese, and Lemon Poppy Seed (vegan). To try something new, I did a scoop of Lemon Poppy Seed and Blueberry Goat’s Cheese in a waffle cone. And

you know what … it all worked.

Since we were only 17 miles from Belle Fourche, we kept driving and went to find the Geographic Center of the Nation.

The monument is located in Belle Fourche (definitely worth checking out), but we wanted to see the actual center that is technically on private property.

Off we went (21 miles) from Belle Fourche to Butte County along Us Highway 21, which was declared as the center of the nation in 1959.

As you pull up, there is a wooden fence with a handwritten sign that says, “Center of the Nation.”

We walked on through the open fence, and there is a lone wind-tattered American flag. We celebrated with a group photo taken by Minneapolis brothers, who pulled up their camper and were also checking it out.

It was a worth the drive.

FOR DINNER O SILK ROAD CAFÉ Stanley Donald’s family-owned business, Silk Road Café is not their first rodeo. One of their most popular restaurants named after his wife, Chae’s was a Vermillion staple for 16 years. The downtown restaurant is an Asian cuisine utopia, with Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Malaysian offerings. This is the place for kimchi lovers.

Must-try items are the Crispy Noodles and the BiBimBop. The latter is a traditional Korean dish with a mixture of seasoned vegetables, topped with a fried egg, and rice in a sizzling rock bowl with tofu, chicken, or beef. No two meals are the same if you experiment with Chae’s 60 different sauces. “You never get tired of this food with all of the sauces, “ said Stanley. “I’ve been eating it for 35-40 years.” They also serve an incredible buffet every day (closed Mondays) from 11 a.m. – 1:45 p.m.

FOR AN ATTRACTION O NATIONAL MUSIC MUSEUM The “mecca for music lovers” is right on USD's campus. The National Music Museum (NMM) is one of the world's finest music collections with over 15,000 historic instruments and 1,200 on display. This bucket-list destination has galleries upon galleries of masterpieces, including rare Adolphe Sax-made saxophones to the oldest known played harpsichord (c. 1530). NMM manager of communications Patricia Bornhofen says if you see one room in the museum, make it the Rawlins Gallery.

“The Rawlin’s Gallery is one of the finest collections of Italian Renaissance string instruments in the world,” she said. This includes what they call the Mona Lisa of the museum, the Amati ‘King’ cello created by Andrea Amati, whom Bornhofen referred to as the “father of string instruments.” From instruments from different cultures (as old as A.D.) to Civil War drums to Bill Clinton’s saxophone, there are the familiar and the exotic displays of instruments.

He's so good, in fact, that they named the restaurant after him. Klinkeltown is so new, their Facebook still says "coming soon" in the "about" section. As we walked in, we noticed there were two ways of experiencing the "grilled cheese and burger joint." One side is a sit-down section with modern tables and booths, and the second is a place to order to-go meals.

Jacket in one corner, so we're probably not far off.

Novice detective work aside, we were on the cusp of being hangry and sat down in a cozy booth facing the bar (my favorite). We automatically ordered two domestic beers and one Crow Peak Brewing Company selection.

What do you do when you're starving and see a shake menu? You order that first. Luckily my tablemates were on the same page, and we requested a vanilla shake (can't go wrong with an oldie, but a goodie) with cheesecake bites. It came out (we shared), and I felt like I was 10 years old and had done something mediocre to deserve this. The homemade treat had a perfect whip cream/shake ratio, and was light, but had powerful flavoring. We all had the similar concern that we wished it had more cheesecake bites, since finding one was every fourth bite. It's a good problem to have.

Chef Klinkel is known for sourcing Nothing about this venue feels like fast as much local ingredients as he can food, by any means. The modern space in each of his establishments, and is mixed with rustic barn wood strewn throughout the walls, on industrial pipe shelving, and hanging as woodenbeam light installations with exposed wire and Edison Bulbs. Klinkeltown also has a very strong color theme that almost gives a high school pride feel with maroon and yellow-gold on the walls, in the marketing CAPRESE materials, and as a huge part of the servers' aprons and uniforms.

There were some vintage athletic print canvases and also a Varsity Letterman

the menu itself showed just that.

This "burger joint" had a wide variety of gourmet burgers, and our server recommended the Frenchman. This beauty includes a 1/3 pound burger, prosciutto, grilled pear, brie, port reduction, and caramelized onion. I was a little hesitant with the pear, but wanted to try something new.

Next section: The grilled cheese. We tried the PETA, which has broccoli, cauliflower, roasted red pepper, onion, carrot, olives, brussel sprouts, and basil mixed into a spread. This is combined with Havarti, arugula, lemon aioli, and is all placed in between whole wheat bread. Our server also recommended the popular Caprese, which includes mozzarella, basil, and tomato jam in between sourdough bread.

The meals appeared shortly after and were presented on nice cafeteria trays and wrapped in adorable tin foil. One of my co-workers huffed at my hasty blunder when I got excited and unwrapped the burger, revealing a branded "K" for Klinkeltown on the bun.

We didn’t get to them, but these items are on our list for next time‌

O KLINKELTOWN GRILLED CHEESE & BURGER JOINT

SHAKE IT!

VANILLA SHAKE WITH CHEESECAKE BITES The mayor of Klinkeltown should be the shakes! Try vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, or butterscotch. Add toppings like cheesecake, graham crackers, cookie dough, Reese's, Butterfingers, chocolate chips, or Oreo.

O BOTTOM LINE:

FRENCHMAN "You're supposed to eat it in the wrapper," he said.

Oops. We cut it into several pieces, and the burger had already soaked the bottom bun. This could be point #5 of why I'm supposed to keep the burger in said foil. And juicy it was. We had to eat ours with a fork and knife since I had messed it up, but it was scrumptious.

The pear was soft, so I didn't even remember it was in there, minus the sweet taste mixed with the salty flavors.

This is where we made another error. We ate the best thing first (well, according

to two of the three of us). Before we dove into the grilled cheese sandwiches, we tried each side. The tater tots were seasoned to perfection (it almost reminded me of Taco John's Potato Olés) and were super crispy. Second runner up were the homemade Klinkel Chips, seasoned with salt and vinegar.

We enjoyed the skinny fries, which almost felt "hard" when you bit into them. It was actually pretty good.

Now onto the grilled cheese. We all (well, not me) love cheese. But there was way too much. The PETA was supposed to have all of these ingredients, and I

Never say no to the shake, and always order it first.

The burgers are amazing here, and I can't wait to try more. I love the location and the fact that it's a gourmet, farm-totable twist of what could have been just another "burger joint." Knowing the team, and knowing how new it is, I have all of the confidence that the grilled cheese will be awesome the next visit.

could barely taste them to the point where when I typed up the menu for this story, I was shocked most of them were in there. Olives?! I wish I had tasted olives. Same with the Caprese. I could taste the basil a bit more, but the amount of cheese was intimidating to eat.

I love the concept of the space, especially as part of Main Street Square.

If you live in town, it's a great option for a sit-down meal or for a to-go order during the workday. For visitors, it's an opportunity to try new takes on burgers and grilled cheese (there are classic options as well, and they have a Kids Meal section). I can imagine after an afternoon chasing your children through the interactive fountain that a beer on the patio is well deserved.

With a wide variety of fresh ingredients, and the fact that it was created

by Chef Ben Klinkel and his team, the price seems right. Shakes are $6 plus $1 per topping, but it's so worth it.

The burger deserves all of the checks. I can't wait to order another shake. It's the grilled cheese that needs a little tweaking (like, just chill a bit on the cheese). I'm excited to come back and try the salads, Klinkeltown Wings, and onion rings. I know one of my tablemates will wreck the cheese plate.

ESIDING IN WATERTOWN IS DEMPSEY’S BREWERY, RESTAURANT & PUB — THE SECONDOLDEST BREWERY IN SOUTH DAKOTA — AND A LOCAL STAPLE AND MUST-SEE DESTINATION WHEN VISITING OR PASSING THROUGH SOUTH DAKOTA.

“My mother was 'pleasantly' surprised, to say the least,” said Sean, who now runs Dempsey’s.

Before Sean would take over, he spent a majority of his life working in the food industry.

Working at Applebee’s while starting out his college career at South Dakota State University made him realize how much he loved the food industry, but he realized he wanted to be his own boss and have creative license when it came to food and drinks.

Now, 18 years later, Dempsey’s has won a plethora of national awards and recognition for their pizza, beer, and cocktails.

These awards have come from hard work and passion of the industry, constantly perfecting the science of their food and drinks. To name a few awards, Sean finished 10th overall in the Best Traditional Pizza Category nationwide and won the Northwest Division in the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas; was rated number-one on Trip Advisor for Restaurants in Watertown; awarded “People Love Us On Yelp” in 2016 and 2017; and Head Barkeep and Brewmaster Adam Erickson won Best Bartender in South Dakota at Deadwood’s Forks, Corks, and Kegs competition.

No matter the awards, what sets Dempsey’s apart from your typical pub is the heart, soul, and education that has gone into the restaurant.

Sean graduated from the International School of Pizza (ISOP) in San Francisco

In 1999, Bill Dempsey, a native of Watertown, stumbled upon an auction for brewing equipment. Having played around with home-brew kits, he was inspired to open his own brewery. Sean, Bill’s son, said his dad’s motto is “it’s better to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission,” so Bill took out a mortgage on his house to cover the purchase of the equipment.

“After starting college and working for someone else, I came to the conclusion that A.) I don’t like working for other people, B.) I love college — but I’m pretty sure I want to be an astronaut — so getting a degree with no idea of what I wanted to do didn’t mesh, C.) I was still driving back and forth between Brookings and Watertown and had this moment where I realized that if I didn’t come

in 2014, awarded with the title of Pizzaiola, which means “pizza maker” in Italian.

A prestigious title to have, a Pizzaiola is a craftsmanscientist of pizza.

“I can’t say enough good things about the ISOP,” said Sean.

“That place changed everything we do. We’re a scratch-kitchen, and it shows. We change our menu every six months, so we are always changing, always trying something new.”

With eyes on the future, Dempsey’s is just getting started.

“What excites me the most about the pub is the potential,” said Sean. “We’re starting to really take off. I’m expanding brewing operations, and we’re looking for a potential growth in a new market. It’s amazing how many doors building this business has opened for me.”

Dempsey’s thrives in its craftsmanship, with food and drinks curated to be the best in the state.

information,” both workers dive right into work with a mind burdened with all the duties of the day without another glance at each other. End scene. Seem familiar? We’ve all seen this in the movies, right?

I was watching a movie the other day with one of these scenes in it, and I started to laugh awkwardly, because I recognized that type of interaction on a personal level. Perhaps, this scene is a little too familiar to me, just maybe in a different “workplace” context.

STOPPING FOR 24 HOURS TO SMELL THE FLOWERS

BY TRACY KIRBY | CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY There is a familiar scene that happens in some fast-paced workplaces. So familiar, in fact, the scene has been rendered anew in many contexts in innumerable films and TV shows. We all know it: A worker enters a bustling, loud workplace, and there awaiting her/him is their assistant/co-worker.

Without so much as a “hello” or a “good morning,” the assistant/co-worker begins rattling off the duties of the day, the schedule therein, whilst walking quickly with them back to their office, so as to not waste any time to actually stop and have a face-to-face conversation. At the end of the scene, predictably, there is either someone waiting on the phone to talk to one of them, or someone is actually waiting in the office to speak. So, without a “goodbye” or “thank you for the

Imagine for a moment, if you will, a spouse returns home.

It's loud - obnoxiously so at times - and they see their spouse scurrying about busy in both mind and duty. With an ever-so-brief “hello,” and maybe even a passing kiss “hello,” one spouse begins to rattle off the happenings of the day, while walking with them into the house, so as to not waste any time (and oh, by the way, the children are waiting to play with you!). The other spouse accepts the charge to play, takes the children, and both spouses dive into the duties of the moment until they all reunite at the dinner table. At the dinner table, both try painstakingly to get the children adequately fed.

Then one cleans the kitchen while the other begins the marathon act of bedtime prep for the little ones. At the end of the night, both fall into bed exhausted from the myriad of responsibilities and massive blessings that is child-raising.

End scene.

OH! THERE YOU ARE! BY THE WAY, THOSE VOWS? I REMEMBER AND STILL MEAN THEM. ture yet, or perhaps they are already grown, replace that scene with other responsibilities or duties that tend to sneakily creep up and begin to quietly nudge marital zeal aside.

Last weekend, my husband and I went to a wedding.

It was just the two of us, away from the children for exactly a 24-hour trip (by the way, my 25-year-old self is rolling her eyes at me for the fact that I’m calling 24 hours a “trip." Also, my 25-year old self probably deserves a good slap of reality). We took a quick flight with one bag each, we got into the car without having to install any obnoxious car seats, and I — get ready for it — actually read a magazine. I kept looking around my person thinking, I’ve forgotten something.

For certain, I’ve forgotten something. Who travels this light anymore?

At the wedding itself, the best man speech referenced the fact that during the young couple’s vows, so many “older” (I resented this label, but I’ve since found it in my heart to forgive him) couples could be seen grabbing each other’s hands, looking sweetly into each other’s eyes, and remembering their own vows they said so many years ago. That’s the magic of a wedding, he said. It reminds everyone of not only the importance and gravity of, but the insuppressible joy of marriage. I laughed during his speech, because it was so true. We were exhausted from the travel, exhausted from the prep just to get out of the house, but during the vows, the exhaustion evaporated as we realized, we were there together. That in and of itself was such a feat. We were doing something that had nothing to do with the children. We were on our own

for 24 hours. We squeezed each other’s hand with a knowing look that said: Oh! There you are! By the way, those vows? I remember and still mean them.

Since we returned from our “trip,” we’ve been trying hard to not play the characters in a crazed, busied workplace scene out of a movie. Wedding season has reminded us, as well as our young daughter — who always seems to stop and smell the flowers — to stop and recognize each other amongst the chaos. Everyone keeps telling us these years with young children go by so fast. Enjoy them while they are young, enjoy them while you can, they say. And while I have taken fast to that advice, I think it’s also safe to say, perhaps it’s even better advice to say: Don’t forget or lose your spouse in the busy workplace in the meantime. •

Hoesing said the project of preserving the history of the stockyards isn’t finished quite yet. Jim Woster wanted to add an outdoor experience you can’t get walking throughout the barn. Building the plaza across the street from the barn is the next phase in the stockyard experience. The goal is to have the plaza ready for visitors by 2019.

The four-acre addition of the Plaza will give visitors the real feel of the stockyards they can’t get inside the barn.

The Plaza will include old elements of the stockyards, such as old gates, pens, and a catwalk, Hoesing said.

“We want people to know how agriculture is linked to their daily lives,” explained Hoesing. “If you eat food, you probably have a farmer to thank for it, and we want folks to recognize we have these great choices because of agriculture.”

In July and August, the Stockyards Ag Experience will be having an event called Farmer Face-to-Face, which will allow visitors to talk to actual farmers and ask questions about what they do. In September they will be celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the stockyards.

STOCKYARDS AG EXPERIENCE A JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTH DAKOTA'S NUMBER-ONE INDUSTRY

THE LITTLE BARN THAT SITS BEHIND THE FALLS PARK VISITOR INFORMATION CENTER HAS THE SAME RUSTIC LOOK IT WOULD HAVE HAD BACK IN 1917 WHEN THE STOCKYARDS OPENED. WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP INSIDE, YOU’VE ENTERED INTO A WHOLE NEW ERA.

BY CARLY REISER “In 2009, the stockyards closed, and at that time, a man named Jim Woster wanted to preserve the legacy of the yards,” said Jennifer Hoesing, executive director at Stockyards Plaza Inc. “He knew timeliness was important, and now is the time to be telling this story.”

Jim Woster is the Stockyards Ag Experience board president, and spent 40 years of his life working at the stockyards. After retirement, Woster still wanted to educate the people of Sioux Falls about the stockyards history and why agriculture is so important. He founded the Stockyards Ag Experience to remind the community how special the stockyards, customers, and the ag industries are.

6 2 \\\\\\\\\ J U LY

After being used for storage for five years, and being known as the “Horse Barn,” the Stockyards Ag Experience opened its doors to the public on March 2.

Admission for adults is $5, and for children three and older is $3.

The inside of the barn is very modernized, with interactive activities that are great for kids and, let's face it, adults, as well. It consists of touchscreens, puzzles, and a grocery store, where visitors can scan and learn about each item. They also offer a 20-question scavenger hunt for kids that allows them to interact with the history around them, and with whomever they are enjoying the day with.

“All who live in Sioux Falls, and all who live in this region, we benefit from the shared destiny of the Sioux Falls Stockyards,” said Hoesing. “We shouldn’t take agriculture, South Dakota’s number-one industry, for granted.”

“It’s fun for kids to learn and the things you hear kids saying, ‘milk comes from cows? I thought you got your milk at Hy-Vee?’ I mean, just those little things that we take for granted, we have the opportunity to teach them, because if kids don’t learn it somewhere, they don’t know it,” said Hoesing.

Pictures, videos, and the opportunity to read everything there is to know about the stockyards surround visitors as they walk through the upstairs portion of the barn.

Visitors can also find a touchscreen that plays 29 hours of interviews with people who have experienced firsthand what the stockyards had to offer, Hoesing said.

The women who worked in the stockyards called themselves "the Stockettes," and they ran the administrative rolls, making sure customers were happy and finances were on track, Hoesing said. These women worked in the bank, café, and in the offices, all while cows were bellowing right outside.

“We try to capture all the senses here; you can hear mooing if you are listening carefully, but we leave the scent to your imagination,” laughed Hoesing.

ASK THE JOHNS

+ DEADWOOD MOUNTAIN GRAND

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.

JR: These facts lead me to a different conclusion. Your roommate isn’t a slob, they are a thoughtful, caring roommate, who loves pizza and hid some leftovers to surprise you. I think you're the one that owes your roommate both an apology and a thank you.

JW: Get a "slob security deposit" from him. Convert that dollar amount into a fridge full of "cold ones." Every time he does something slobbish, take out a cold one and crack it without him. He'll learn very soon to alter his ways.

BOTH OF MY KIDS HAVE A SOCCER GAME AT THE SAME TIME. HOW DO I DECIDE WHICH ONE TO GO TO? JR: I swear soccer was imported from Europe to ruin American parenthood by overwhelming parents with activities. How have we managed to be constantly running our children to soccer tournaments for 30 years, but still suck at soccer?

JW: Whichever one is older.

Little kid soccer is the worst.

JT: Talk about a winning situation! Tell them you don't want to pick favorites and don't go to either. Chest bump.

I AM A CAT OWNER, AND I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED SEEING SOMEONE WHO IS ALLERGIC TO CATS. HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS SITUATION? JR: You just recently started seeing this person and are already concerned about your cat and their allergies? I would keep the cat and your concerns to yourself before you're officially a Stage Five Clinger.

JW: Cats only exist to secretly upload damaging information on humans to their mothership, which hovers on the dark side of the moon. This is all additionally knowing that if any cat weighed 40 pounds more, they would kill us all. Ditch the furry alien.

is the third largest cave in the world, with over 180 miles of mapped passages.

JT: Would you ever part ways with your feline friend? How serious are they about you? Are they truly that allergic? Wait it out, and then discuss when it gets more serious.

JT: Get real and tell them they can't eat anywhere but in the kitchen. Warning: This could cause an even bigger battle, so get ready for the second phase passive aggressive Post-it notes.

MY ROOMMATE, WHO IS ALSO MY CLOSEST FRIEND, IS A COMPLETE SLOB. I LOVE HIM DEARLY, DON’T GET ME WRONG, BUT I JUST FOUND PIZZA CRUSTS WEDGED BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS OF OUR COUCH. WHEN I BRING UP HIS MESSES, HE SHRUGS IT OFF OR GETS UPSET. HOW DO I GET HIM TO CLEAN UP AFTER HIMSELF?
