>> BIKES & BEERS FOR A CAUSE “WE HAVE A GREAT BIKE COMMUNITY HERE THAT’S ONLY GROWING MORE AND MORE." If there are two things Sioux Falls has going for it, they’re a booming beer culture and an enthusiastic bike community. This month, local Livestrong organizers are looking to capitalize on the meteoric rise of each, bringing them together for Tour de Brew Sioux Falls. Basically a bar crawl on bikes, the August 13 event begins at Bogtrotters Irish Pub, Grub & Tap in downtown Sioux Falls, and makes the rounds to Prairie Berry East Bank, Taphouse 41, Hydra Brewing Company, Beef O’Brady’s, and Fernson on 8th, before ending at Monks House of Ale Repute. The ride largely sticks to the city’s bike trail. After participating in a similar event in the Quad Cities, local Livestrong leader Emily Anderson and husband Nicholas, also active with Livestrong, decided that Sioux Falls would be the ideal place to replicate it. “I think that people love our bike trail system and people are locally-minded,” said Emily. “We have a great bike community here that’s only growing more and more. We have all of these breweries popping up. People love the events that are going on there. They

love to go and have an experience, so it’s something we thought we could bring here and see how it does.” The event benefits Livestrong, which Emily explains, is thriving, despite the unpleasantness surrounding cyclist Lance Armstrong’s resignation. “We still raise money for families to fund programs while they’re going through cancer. Eighty-three cents of every dollar goes back into the program. We are a 4-star charity. That’s the highest you can get.”
to participate. Organizers recommend bringing a bike lock and a couple of water bottles in order to stay hydrated between bars. Riders should also bring some cash in order to keep things moving quickly at each stop, and for the raffles at the end. “There are raffles at every bar that come with the registration, so then there will also be additional raffles to enter at Monks. You can buy extra tickets to get into those,” said Emily.
She says Livestrong is different from other organizations because it begins its work the minute a diagnosis is given. A person with cancer will be set up with a navigator who first looks at their top three immediate needs. It could be help to sort through insurance information, assistance with housework, transportation to treatments, or even fertility needs. “So if you’re in the childbearing years, Livestrong will support the freezing of your eggs or sperm until you are through cancer, and they will fund a portion of that, so that after your cancer care, you’re able to have children.”
Those with mobility issues can participate in the event as well. On the Tour de Brew Sioux Falls Facebook page, organizers have posted the day’s schedule, which allots roughly an hour at each location. That way, people can join in for part or all of the event and organize rides, if necessary.
The 25-mile ride is open to everyone, and as stops are frequent, bicyclists of most abilities will be able
Tickets are $25. For information about the event, visit facebook.com/tourdebrewsf. Learn more about Livestrong at livestrong.org.
And although this is the event’s inaugural year, the Andersons are hoping it will be embraced by the bike and beer communities alike. “This is our first year, so we’re looking for get a starting point and grow from there to see where we can be at next year.”
Q&A
GREAT DAKOTA WINE FEST EACH YEAR, HUNDREDS GATHER ON THE SPRAWLING LAWN OF VERMILLION’S VALIANT VINEYARDS FOR THE GREAT DAKOTA WINE FEST. IT’S A CELEBRATION OF THE HARVEST, OF CREATIVITY, AND MOST OF ALL, AN EXCUSE TO ENJOY GREAT WINE IN AN IDYLLIC COUNTRY SETTING. VALIANT’S ADRIENNE LEWIS EXPLAINS WHY THIS YEAR’S 1950S-THEMED EVENT WILL BE ESPECIALLY FUN.
Aside from drinking wine, what is there to do at the Great Dakota Wine Fest? Adrienne Lewis: Grape stomping, cooking with wine demonstrations, sangria on the balcony, wine tours, dancing, live music by Jami Lynn and others. More activities for families are currently in the works. Updates we be posted on the website. Tell us a little about the amateur wine making contest. AL: The amateur wine making is a chance for home winemakers to show off their skills and get some great feedback from our expert panel of judges. A certificate is issued for 'best of show' and 'best in category.' The judging takes place in the tasting room for anyone to watch. What are some of the most unique wines you've seen entered? AL: We have had a jalapeño wine and tomato beet. We have some hybrid ports as well. What makes Valiant a great place to spend a summer day? AL: We have some delicious wine, of course, and one of the best views around. Our goal is to make each wine tasting a true South Dakota tasting experience for our guests. My hope for everyone who walks in our doors is to learn something new about wine, even for the wine experts that come in, or at the very least some good jokes, recipes or stories. The best thing is to go through the wine
tasting and then enjoy a glass (or bottle) on the balcony. For the ultimate experience, take your time and stay the night in our bed and breakfast! Why do you think this event has been so popular over the years? AL: The easy answer is, ‘Because there is wine.’ But really, I think it’s because it has a great balance of learning new, exciting things about wine and food and it’s just a great way to have a lot of fun, or to simply relax! It’s a great experience for those just starting out on their wine journey, as well as experts, and especially for those of us who absolutely geek out about the Midwest, as we invite other South Dakota wineries and guest chefs to join us in wine education. This truly is an exciting time to share in the wine experience in this area as the industry is still new and changing all the time. How much is admission? AL: Fifteen dollars, which includes your tasting ticket, a souvenir glass, access to the cooking demonstrations, and winery grounds with the live music. Is it family and pet friendly? AL: Absolutely! We always have some fun activity for the kids to do. You are welcome to set up camp outback with chairs or blankets where friendly furry friends can join you.

THE SUBPRIMES BY KARL TARO GREENFELD | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD
IMAGINE A NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE WHERE GOVERNMENT IS BASICALLY RUN BY THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN AMERICA. THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD.
They have achieved total deregulation of the oil drilling and fracking industries. They have privatized education and law enforcement. They have eliminated the minimum wage. Of course, this means that all you see now if you go to the beach are oil rigs. All this means is that your kid goes to Subway Take Fresh Paul Revere Middle School, and that when he is struggling in Algebra, all the teachers try to do is sell you some extra tutoring sessions. All this means is that corporations can now pay whatever they want to their employees. And we all know corporations have their employees' best interests in mind. This inequality has created a new lower class called Subprimes. Their low credit ratings have basically made them homeless and jobless. They move from place to place and squat in abandoned houses for as long as they can, taking what manual labor jobs they can find. Of course, these jobs only pay five bucks an hour, so they never get ahead. And in this world, we follow the lives of people who have found a little haven in the desert. It's an abandoned housing project where they will take anyone in as long as they are willing to work and help the community. They have a well and they grow fruits and vegetables through irrigation. Instead of just surviving from day to day, they're starting to form a community. But this might all come crashing down when a huge fracking corporation comes around with a private military force saying that they now own the land. What they need is a hero. How about a beautiful and mysterious woman who rides a motorcycle? That sounds pretty awesome.
THEY HAVE ACHIEVED TOTAL DEREGULATION OF THE OIL DRILLING AND FRACKING INDUSTRIES. THEY HAVE PRIVATIZED EDUCATION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY HAVE ELIMINATED THE MINIMUM WAGE.

A man named Ben goes out for a hike and ends up on a magical journey full of giants, demons, and huge insects. It's kind of like an adult Alice in Wonderland, except it's not all about drugs.

MATT & MEGAN KRIVARCHK A Megan Krivarchka describes her style as “contemporary, but family-friendly.� When Megan, a NICU nurse and husband Matt, owner of Today's Family Dentistry, built their house on the west side of Brandon, it was important for them to incorporate design elements that they loved, but even more important was making sure their choices could stand up to the physical demands of raising a family.
24 // AUGUST 2016
The 2-year-old ranch-style home sits on a cul-de-sac; its large, well-landscaped backyard fenced for their vizsla and their toddler and infant, Teddy and Sylvia. The horseshoe-shaped driveway leads to a cozy front porch and teal front door, which serves as a subtle pop of color in the home’s otherwise classic facade. The front entryway is another example of deliberate, yet restrained drama. A huge mirror and large coat closet flank the vestibule, while a sputnik chandelier hangs above, suspended from a recessed ceiling inlaid with opulently detailed wallpaper. The wallcovering, textured with crystals and metallics, makes another appearance in the chandeliered guest bathroom beyond the kitchen. The great room is done in a cool palette that manages to skirt coldness and remain squarely in curated territory. “We didn’t want it to feel stiff,” explained Megan. “Another thing you’ll notice is there’s really not any brown in our house. We did lots of black and white and grey, and some camel colors as an accent.” The furniture in the living room is Ethan Allen, with playful, yet classic patterns, like a black and white houndstooth chair and a curved sofa upholstered in a fabric that reminds Megan of rain. Built-in shelves surrounding the tile fireplace display an ever-growing collection of family photos. Matt’s influence is seen in a pair of sea glass-colored swivel chairs, which allow guests to face into the living room or toward the adjacent eating and cooking spaces.
“Another thing you’ll notice is there’s really not any brown in our house. We did lots of black and white and grey, and some camel colors as an accent.” Recessed lighting and speakers tuck discreetly into the coffered ceiling. At the room’s far end is the staircase leading to the basement, which features a built-in gate as a safety feature. Above the cable-detailed glulam staircase hangs three dramatic pendant lights. The room’s largest source of illumination, however, comes
from the grid of massive windows, which dominate the home’s back wall. The dining room and kitchen feature a dark porcelain tile flooring that mimics a hardwood, but according to Megan, will wear better with their large dog and small children. The table is at once rustic and modern; a wide-planked Restoration Hardware piece finished in a matte black. The chairs and bench are covered in a grey indoor-outdoor fabric, which looks understatedly sophisticated, but was actually chosen for its ability to be cleaned easily. Above the table hangs a show-stopper of a lighting fixture; an art deco-inspired rectangular piece dripping with dozens of smoky pendants. It’s one of Megan’s favorite things. “I love that chandelier. It’s like black crystal. It’s not very bright light. It’s just kind of more subtle. That was one of the first things that I found when we were building our house. I was like, ‘I have to have that,’ and kind of built the rest around it.” Off-white upholstered bar stools nestle under a large island that mirrors the curve of the living room. It serves as a barrier between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces in the open floor plan. “The kitchen is probably my favorite,” said Megan, gesturing to the area’s black and white finishes. “The countertops are Cambria. It’s not granite. It’s not a marble. It’s actually a man-made quartz. We got it through Creative Surfaces in Sioux Falls. One of our friends, Justin Pins, works there. His family owns the business. They were really helpful in picking it out. We used the Cambria counters in all of our bathrooms as well. They have a lot to choose from, so we really liked that.” In addition to double ovens and a gigantic refrigerator, the kitchen features a couple of sneaky elements, including a microwave that looks like a drawer and a hidden walkin pantry. Off the kitchen in one direction lies a large mudroom and laundry. In the 26 // AUGUST 2016

other direction is a spacious three season room, which isn’t counted among the floor’s 2,000 square feet, due to its lack of insulation. Megan says the laid-back addition is Matt’s favorite room, with its cheerful color palette, cozy sectional, and space for the kids to play.
“I want it to feel unique, but not so weird or different that people say, ‘What was she thinking?'" The main level also houses the family’s three bedrooms. Sylvia’s a modern, feminine space meant to grow with her beyond the baby phase. Teddy’s is dedicated to his new superhero obsession. The master is a spacious, breezy study in the minimalist drama of black and white, complete with a walk-in closet and a large en suite, boasting a cave-like walk-in shower. The basement remains a work in progress, serving for now as storage. Soon, however, that will change. Come spring, work will begin to create another bathroom, two more bedrooms, and a wine cellar. Megan loves that they are able to make the home theirs, and looks forward to spending many years enjoying the carefully-selected custom touches. “I want it to feel unique, but not so weird or different that people say, ‘What was she thinking?’ I want it to be a place where our family can be comfortable and remember it as the house they grew up in.”

>> BIKING THROUGH THE BLACK HILLS
The George S. Mickelson Trail weaves through the Black Hills National Forest, and the views are breathtaking. Wanting to share her appreciation for those views and passion for biking, Stacey Phillips partnered up with friend Jobie Wagner to open Deadwheels Bike Rentals in Deadwood. “I have always loved the outdoors, and my family enjoys bike riding together,” explained Phillips. “The Mickelson Trail is so beautiful. I wanted to offer the opportunity for any family, riders of all ages, to rent bicycles, ride through the trails, and enjoy quality family time together outdoors.” Phillips and Wagner opened Deadwheels in May. Dividing their tasks based on expertise, Phillips took the lead on the legal and patent aspects of the business, while Wagner focused on marketing and media. A location was secured along with a trailer and shuttle, and Phillips relied on Wagner to expand their staff. “I've got a really great team with really high customer service skills. They're doing an amazing job.” After making a stop at Deadwheels with my mom and sister for the full biking experience, I can attest to that. As we approached the trailer displaying Deadwheels' eye-catching logo, I initially noticed the wide variety of bikes they have to offer. With an assortment to accommodate all ages, the selection ranges from kids' bikes and trailers to four different adult sized varieties. Their most popular option is the Momentum Rocker, also known as the “fat tire bike.” The newest addition to Deadwheels' collection is a tandem bike, a two-seater, allowing two people to ride at 30 // AUGUST 2016

once, picture perfect for rides along Deadwood's downtown brick-paved streets. We were warmly greeted by Wagner as we approached the trailer, and conversation came easily as he explained their bike selection, the rental time frames offered, and the Mickelson trail descriptions. With the option of a two hour, four hour, or full day rental, we decided to take our time with a four hour ride down the Dumont Trail. The primarily downhill ride and forest views make it the most popular of the 15 trail options, allowing an enjoyable ride for even the most inexperienced bikers. For a small fee, a shuttle service is offered throughout the day to transport riders and their bikes to the start of their trail selection. After taking a few test rides and choosing the bikes we preferred, Wagner graciously loaded our selections onto the back of their shuttle, and we were off. Wagner guided the shuttle up the scenic drive to the Dumont Trail head, leaving us with a 16 mile ride back into Deadwood. He provided a few simple instructions and his contact information in case of an emergency, before pointing us in the right direction and heading back into town. Immediately noting the solitude of our surroundings, we started down the forest-lined path that gave us magnificent views from the start. Biking along the trail allowed us to appreciate the detail in the nature we had been admiring from a distance. The white birch trees that surrounded us created a feel of enchantment that was only enhanced by the deer seen scattered along the way. Our path through the forest eventually opened to reveal an expanse of hills scattered with evergreen trees and a river winding through, a view that was nothing short of breathtaking.
605 Mag (3.75x4.75) 07/15/16 - General Branding The Dumont Trail's scenery exceeded our expectations, and the ride was leisurely and as easy to navigate as promised. We coasted through the end of the trail back into Deadwheels' parking location, waving hello to Wagner as we rode by to spend the last portion of our four hours cruising through Deadwood's historic streets. We all agreed the experience was one of the highlights of our trip as we headed back to return our bikes. Deadwheels offers a wide variety of bike and trail options, and they come at an affordable rate. Discounts are offered to families who rent three or more bikes, as well as groups of 10 or more. A veteran himself, Wagner refers to the discounted rate that is offered to both veterans and first responders, explaining, “We take care of those who take care of us.” Customers are also able to bring their own bikes and utilize Deadwheels' shuttle service, beverages for sale, and bike accessories for rent.

The outstanding customer service and reasonable pricing makes it clear that Deadwheels Bike Rental is dedicated to taking care of their customers and providing a memorable experience. Phillips emphasizes the purpose of their business, stating, “Deadwood is known for its history and gambling, but we're able to offer appreciation for its beauty. Biking the Mickelson Trail is something families can do together. We're lucky to be surrounded by these amazing views, and we hope Deadwheels will give anyone the chance to enjoy them.” For more information on Deadwheels Bike Rentals, visit deadwheelsbikerentals.com or call (402) 689-2682.

HOMEWORK: LIVING ON THE JOB
BY DENISE DEPAOLO | ELIZABETH LUCILLE PHOTOGRAPHY | BONNY FLEMING AT BONZEYE STUDIO
I
magine waking up unaided by an alarm clock, rolling out of bed, and beginning your workday while lounging, hair askew. Working from home takes many shapes. The pajama-clad putterer is almost never the reality. Instead, working remotely is an arrangement often born out of practical necessity and a desire for maximum productivity.
“My average workday is 10-12 hours, so it’s not like I’m being lazy,” explained Sioux Falls-based luthier Josh Rieck. “But I can do it in a more relaxed manner. I don’t have to rush to work or rush home.” Rieck and wife Ashley have recently moved to a new house, which will be their second work-from-home environment. Previously, they lived above Josh’s shop. Now, as his business evolves from walk-in String Theory Luthiery to appointmentonly J. Rieck Lutherie, the couple’s more secluded west Sioux Falls home will allow Josh to focus on instrument building with fewer distractions. Josh, a self-professed workaholic, appreciates the flexibility working from home provides. It allows the couple’s pets to be part of his workday, which is essential for Eleanor, their anxiety-prone pit bull. The arrangement allows Ashley, a
string artist and owner of Hatch 605, to work from home as well, when she leaves her day job managing Unglued in downtown Sioux Falls. “It’s actually worked really well for our relationship,” she said. “There’s not that stress of ‘I’m going to run home to eat quick and then go back to the shop until midnight.’ We had that in our first apartment. Then when we finally moved above the shop, I would text Josh and say, ‘Dinner’s ready,’ and he would just come upstairs. Then he could work as late as he wants and I could come down and say goodnight. Now I don’t worry, either. If he was at the shop and didn’t come home before I went to bed, then I’d worry something happened, because the tools he’s working with are serious machines and can do serious damage. And of course, I automatically assume something bad has happened.” Spearfish artist Dick Termes has worked from home almost exclusively for nearly 50 years. The world-renowned painter of fantastical spheres lives with famed puppeteer wife Markie Scholz in a whimsical village of geodesic domes, one of which is their home and another, mere steps away, is his studio. He agrees with the Riecks that for creative people who are often consumed by their work, staying on site is a good way to actually see one another.
"My average workday is 10-12 hours, so it’s not like I’m being lazy."
“If I work away from my home, I never get home. I think it helps to see your family more by being at home, if you can control the situation enough so you get to work. I married the right lady. I spend more time with my family being here in this environment,” he said. “When my kids were little, they’d run over to the studio and say, ‘Dad it’s time to quit.’ So I’d know when it was time to go play with them. My wife, I think, made it the case that they knew this is what I did for a living, but then at five o’clock it was time to play.” Some who work from home don’t have the luxury of seclusion. Jamie Scarbrough manages Zandbroz Variety in downtown Sioux Falls. Her husband, Jeff Danz, and his brother own the store and another in Fargo. The couple also owns the Phillips Avenue building and live in a 2,000 square foot loft above the store. The advantages of the arrangement, Scarbrough says, are numerous. If they are needed in the store, which is open seven days a week, she and Jeff are literally a flight of stairs away. “We also find that having to not commute to work is fantastic. I don’t have to figure that into my getting up time. I can push it a little bit,” she added. “It also allows us to be open on snow storm days when other people can't. I can come down and work on
things and be open for people who are stuck, because the planes aren’t leaving.” There are less pleasant aspects, as well. Strangers have been known to wander upstairs from the store and end up in their home. “That’s always fun,” she laughed. “‘I thought this was the soda fountain.’ That closed 10 years ago, but people are still always looking for it.” Unplugging can be the biggest challenge of all when, as a business owner, work is never done. Scarbrough explains that it’s essential to schedule oneself as though you were getting in the car with your briefcase. “Trying to have some separation from work is hard. When we unlock the doors and are open for business, it’s hard to have any time for yourself. Even if you’re supposedly off the clock, you’re always on call.” Jim and Nancy Schade, who own and operate Volga’s Schadé Vineyard and Winery, learned early on that the quality of life they wanted depended on drawing a hard line between work and family time. “It’s extremely important to establish business hours, and have
ADVICE: MAKING WORKING FROM HOME WORK
“I think you’ve really got to think about 'what ifs.' We’ve grown so fast, we have to build a new building every other year. You have to ask, 'What if it goes nuclear, or what if it fails?'” – Jim Schade, owner, Schadé Vineyard and Winery “If people have the right situation, working from home is great. If it’s in the kitchen, that’s not great. You have to have your own space and your own room. There are so many things that can lead you astray at home. There has to be a time of day you stop, because your work is your work.” – Dick Termes, Artist “There’s this great book by Steven Pressfield called The War of Art. He’ll only write for three or four hours a day, but he writes every day at the same time, and he writes until he’s got nothing else to say. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, but he sits down every day and does it. If you’re going to be a creative person who’s self-employed, you can’t wait to be inspired. You have to show up every day and do the work. Some days you slog through it and don’t get anything out of it, but you did it. That’s a book I’d recommend to people interested in working from home.” – Josh Rieck, owner, J. Rieck Lutherie “Make sure that you have a set time so you can get your work done, because it’s easy to get distracted when you’re at home. And punch out when you can. Because we are here, it’s hard not to say, ‘I should go and work on that.’ Then you end up being here all the time,” – Jamie Scarbrough, manager, Zandbroz Variety
"When we’re bottling or filtering wine, filtering takes a long time, so I can start, go do something else, come back."
those business hours clearly posted at various places,” Nancy said, adding, “No matter who it is - your next door neighbor, your best friend - you have to say, ‘These are the hours the winery is open,' Otherwise you don’t have a personal life.” Schadé’s tasting room and gift loft adjoin the couple’s home. Jim explains that they try to emulate the welcoming, immersive experience they had while living in northern California. “We know most South Dakotans will never make it to Napa Valley, so here they can see the grapes grow, pick them, and learn what it's like to make wine.”
Nancy says, as a result, many visitors to the picturesque 10-acre property get starry eyes, imagining a laid-back, pastoral life as a winemaker. “We have lots of young couples who walk through the vineyard and they think, ‘This is the most romantic place in the whole wide world.’ It is and it can be and we love it. We’re very proud of how successful the business has been, but to really study the business and know what you’re saying yes to is really important. On the surface it looks like a piece of cake - this is a beautiful place to be, and you get to control your own hours.” But, she adds, it’s not only work to keep the winery going, she

and Jim have remember to make time for each other. “When you’re working with your spouse, you have to build in that time to get away from the business and maintain your marriage relationship, just like you maintain your business relationship. It’s very important to be intentional about maintaining the marriage relationship and keeping it separate from the business relationship. Statistics are scary.” During certain times of year, living on site isn’t just a matter of convenience for the winemakers, it’s essential. “There’s so many things that happen at all times of the day with making wine,” said Jim. “When we’re bottling or filtering wine, filtering takes a long time, so I can start, go do something else, come back. When we harvest grapes, they have to be processed the same day they’re picked, so it goes way into the middle of the night. To be able to grab a nap or grab some food, it’s so handy.” Termes believes working remotely is the future, for more than just creatives. “Everybody’s on the computer, and 90 percent of jobs can be done that way. I think it’s going to be really cool. But you have to think about how you’re going to separate out that work and living space.” He recommends setting up a dedicated workspace, and not at the kitchen table. Better is a room with a door that can shut out distractions - and at the end of the workday, shut away visual reminders of one’s vocation. Better yet, he says, is a space outside the house, even a few steps away, where work is physically contained. It's a separation he admits is tough. “It’s not only my profession, it’s my love. It’s much more than a job and for many artists, that’s true, too.” That often means a blurred line, despite people’s best efforts. But, the ability to pursue one’s passion is a tempting trade off. “I love it. I love the lifestyle that it provides,” said Ashley. “I love the flexibility. I had the 8 to 5 and it was killing me. I know our lifestyle gives some people anxiety - mainly my parents but it works for us. It works for the artist brain, I think. There’s something to be said about living the life you were meant to lead and being able to make the most of that time.” ●

>> SUPPLYING OUR STUDENTS
The Banquet in Sioux Falls is a food ministry that serves
13 meals per week to the surrounding community for those

struggling to with food insecurity. Along with offering food,
the Banquet provides other services, like new supplies for children returning to school.
“IF I CAN’T
FEED MY CHILDREN, HOW WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO GET THEM SCHOOL SUPPLIES? ”
Dakotah Jordan is the Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator for The Banquet. She says The Banquet's Project SOS (Supply Our Students) gives kids the supplies they need to be prepared for when they go back to school in the fall. “Guests in need of supplemental food often struggle to provide basic necessities for their families,” she explained. The project started in 1989 after the Banquet director spoke with a woman who expressed concerns for providing for her children. “A mother eating in the dining room with her children told the director at the time, ‘If I can’t feed my children, how will I ever be able to get them school supplies?’” said Jordan. “That’s when volunteers began collecting school supplies for children living in poverty.” Backpack distribution will take place at Whittier Middle School on August 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To get a backpack with supplies, the child must be present with one form of identification, such as a birth certificate or social security card. More than 6,000 backpacks are given each year to students and since the project began, more than 90,000 children in Sioux Falls and 30 surrounding school districts have
40 // AUGUST 2016
received backpacks with new supplies.
More than a museum, we offer kids activities, craft nights, classes and camps, exhibits, gallery space, and wedding/ event rentals, all tucked in a LEED Platinum green building. “We are told when children are equipped with necessary school supplies at the beginning of the year, they walk into school with a renewed self-esteem and positive outlook that leaves them ready to learn,” said Jordan. For those wanting to get involved, new backpacks, school supplies, and monetary donations can be brought to the Banquet, located at 900 E 8th Street in Sioux Falls, and collection boxes located at Hy-Vee, Kmart, Lewis Drug, Shopko, Staples, and Walmart. A complete supply list is also available online.
August Events at the Museum August 3, Wednesday Craft Night | 5:30-7:30p | $5 August 9, Tuesday Art Journaling | 7-9p | $15
People can also start their own collection boxes for school supplies. Project SOS needs volunteers for packing of supplies on August 19 and distribution of backpacks on August 20. Several shifts are available on both days. Those interested in signing up should call ahead. One of Jordan’s favorite stories from Project SOS involves two Wells Fargo employees dropping off supplies from a workplace collection box. One of them said that they benefitted from the Project SOS and because of it, he was able to go to school with new supplies. If it wasn’t for the program, he said he wouldn’t have had supplies for school.
August 22, Monday Day Play | 10a | Free Summer Camps taking place throughout August. Visit our online calendar and register for these classes by visiting sfmvm.com. Several classes have limited space.
“He volunteered to bring the supplies in because he wanted to give back to the program that gave so much to him,” said Jordan. “This story shows how this program helps kids in our community gain an equal footing to succeed in life, and then are willing to give back as adults.” Project SOS gets continued support from teachers and school officials for the services it provides to children and families. “According to Sioux Falls public schools, nearly 9,000 children qualify for free and reduced lunches. This means that there are many families who are not reaching out for the assistance,” said Jordan. “There are still more children to serve.” To volunteer for Project SOS, call (605) 335-7066.

“We have enjoyed preparing many of your esoteric dishes. Your Monte Cristo sandwich is a current favorite among the adventurous.”— Mathesar, GALAXY QUEST The area near Brookings’ Exit 132 seems to be in a constant state of change. Even frequent visitors, like myself, aren’t surprised to see new strip malls and stores pop up seemingly overnight. On a recent visit, I found that the old mainstay Staurolite Inn had become an Econo Lodge and the connected restaurant space was now called 1429 Roadhouse (named for the junction of I-29 and Highway 14, where the building sits). Since it was lunchtime, I figured 'why not?' Upon entering 1429 Roadhouse, it is clear that the new owners are making an effort. The generic rectangular space has been jazzed up with some “woodsy” touches, like log pillars and a rustic-looking wooden bar near the center of the room. At noon on a weekday, roughly half of the four-tops were occupied, as well as a long table that held a large group of coworkers. The menu is full of bar and deli favorites like burgers and sandwiches, with a few salads and steaks thrown in for good measure. Although we were tempted to try 1429’s take on the Cuban (served on a chipotle hoagie) or Thai Chicken Wrap (featuring fried chicken and bleu cheese), we decided to order the Picnic Burger, Monte Cristo, and Grilled Steak Philly (recommended by our server), with fries, sweet potato tots, and soup as our sides. The soup came out after just a few minutes. It was a homemade vegetable beef, which immediately brought me back to my childhood home. Of course, the soup of yesteryear was canned, and not nearly as good as this flavorful broth in front of me packed with meat, carrots, tomatoes, and peas, but it was a happy convergence of my more discerning adult palate with that of my much younger self. After about 10 minutes, the rest of our food arrived, packed into paper-lined baskets. The Grilled Steak Philly was served with a side of densely beefy and garlicky jus, which was absorbed well by the soft roll full of meat and melty cheese. The peppers and onions were grilled well, a touch I very much appreciate. I like a fresh veggie as much as anyone, but a Philly is not the place for a crunchy raw pepper. If I was a Philly purist, I would probably be up in arms 42 // AUGUST 2016
over the presence of jus, but I’m first and foremost a proponent of flavor. Therefore, this sandwich gets my stamp of approval. The Picnic Burger was really tasty, as well. It is a patty topped with pulled pork and coleslaw, served between slices of Texas toast. The cabbage was crunchy, the pork was tender and saturated in barbecue, and the toast maintained its integrity among the sauces. The burger was a little lost and it was a bit messy to eat, but if anyone ordered this item and expected otherwise, I would question their reasoning. If I’m trying to look like a lady while eating, I know to avoid the barbecue genre altogether.
THE CABBAGE WAS CRUNCHY, THE PORK WAS TENDER AND SATURATED IN BARBECUE SAUCE, AND THE TOAST MAINTAINED ITS INTEGRITY AMONG THE SAUCES. Finally, I bit into the Monte Cristo. It’s amazing how a sandwich can be called by the same name - Philly, Club, Cuban, Monte Cristo - and vary so widely from restaurant to restaurant. This one had the classic hot turkey, ham, and Swiss between slices of powder sugar-dusted battered bread. What set this one apart, though, was that the bread tasted like a mini donut, without the heaviness. It was a really interesting blend of sweet, salty, and savory. What put it over the top for me was the side of raspberry vinaigrette sauce. It got mixed reviews at the table, but I was on the positive side of the debate. Being a vinaigrette, it wasn’t excessively sweet. It actually introduced a slightly sour component, and increased the complexity of the composition.
As for the other sides, the fries appeared to be hand cut and were well-seasoned. There was nothing quirky or interesting about them, but we ate every last one. The sweet potato tots were crunchy on the outside and hot in the middle, as one would hope. We got both the ranch and marshmallow sauces that were offered. Personally, I like a savory sweet potato, so I ate most of my tots with the ranch. But for the novelty if nothing else, I gave the marshmallow sauce a try. The flavor was pure Thanksgiving dinner. Earthy-sweet mixed with sugarysweet. Nostalgic, but not my personal cup of tea. Except maybe as a dessert. Bottom line: We were surprised by not only the quality of our food, but the creativity. I’ll definitely be back to try the Thai Chicken Wrap to taste how fried chicken and bleu cheese mingle with Thai sauce. Probably really well.

BARON WOLFGANG BARON WOLFGANG has worked with interiors in Sioux Falls for more than a decade. Known for an artistic sensibility, a penchant for joy, and unerring good taste, this local luminary of design sat down at Sioux Falls delicatessen M.B. Haskett (one of his favorite projects) to dish on his work, and how we can make our interiors work for us.
BW: It’s really critical to understand who they are, what they do, where they’ve been, and really kind of get to know them. The space needs to reflect the user of the space. It’s really about relationships. A lot of times a client has some ideas and has seen some things. In this day in age, we have Pinterest and Houzz and these really great social tools to help us out. It can be my job to help them sort through that.
When did your work in interior design start?
How do you find special pieces, so clients’ homes don’t look cookie cutter?
AGE: 34 // HOMETOWN: SIOUX FALLS // SPECIALTY: INTERIOR DESIGN
Baron Wolfgang: I originally studied ceramics at Minnesota State in Mankato. I wanted to be a starving artist, but then thought design might be a better fit. In 2003, I started working for Traditions doing merchandising and helping in the showroom. Now, I’m a designer at Montgomery’s, where I’ve been since April. Can you recall a certain design memory that inspired your career choice? BW: It wasn’t so much design as it was architecture. I always remember seeing the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and Gaudi and thinking, ‘It’s really interesting how you can reinterpret the same ideas and come up with something more functional and cool to look at.’ Also modern sculptures. I draw a lot of inspiration from artwork, both painting and sculpture. Design is really about making a sculpture out of a space. What is your personal aesthetic? BW: I would describe it as 'Me.' I like a little bit of nostalgia. Heirloom pieces in furniture. Those older, really well-built pieces that can be harder to attain. But overall, it’s a really modern aesthetic, with little bits of traditional ugliness thrown in. How do you work with a client to make a space feel like 'them?'
46 // AUGUST 2016
BW: I really like to spend time looking at what’s out in the universe. What’s new or really classic. What pieces can we reinterpret? Maybe using something unconventional. I think people, most of the time, have one or two pieces they want to work with. So I think I kind of draw inspiration from the pieces they have existing. I like to take a little time to make sure we’re finding exactly the right pieces. What are some pieces worth investing in? BW: Your dining room table. Don’t skimp on your dining room table. Get one that’s functional. Get one that’s not too big and has something interesting about it. Also, bedroom furniture. Maybe not the bed itself, but casements, a great dresser or sideboard. You can even use them in other rooms as an entertainment console, in your bedroom for
storage, in your dining room. Some of those larger wood pieces can be things you keep reincorporating in different ways throughout different stages of your life. How can we tell something is well made? BW: Look at how solid a piece is. Any furniture that has nuts and bolts you can see is probably not going to stand the test of time. It’s really not made to. It’s up to us to ask how things are constructed. I would ask about the finish. If it’s wood, make sure your drawers are dovetailed, and it might have a dust cover between the drawers. Those are signs that some effort was made, rather than building all these pieces of furniture to get them out the door. I think domestically-made furniture is wonderful, if you can get it. It’s becoming more and more rare, but those pieces tend to last longer than imported pieces. What are some inexpensive items than can change the feel of a room? BW: Artwork. Original artwork is really integral. I would love it if everyone had original artwork. You can invest a lot of money in artwork, or a little. It always increases in value. There’s wonderful artists in our community doing great things. Pillows are great to switch out. Bedding, lamps, or new dining room chairs. If you’ve got a great table, you can switch those out. Reupholster smaller pieces. A great rug can go a long way, too. Just a couple hundred dollars and you can get a new feel in your space. What trends do you think will look good for a few years? BW: I like navy as a neutral. That’s been a big trend, even in painted furniture. I think it could be a great way to add a lot of personality to your space. I also love black and white. It gives you contrast and something to play off. And they’re comfortable colors. Those bright colors - hot pinks and magentas - are fun, but in small doses. You did the design here in M.B. Haskett. What are some of your favorite aspects of this space? BW: Probably one of my favorite aspects is the wood wall. All of that wood was recycled from the renovation or it was recycled from Mike [Haskett]’s farm. We were able to do that without spending any money, so we got a really awesome design element without eating into the budget for custom tables or anything like that. I also love the original artwork. We really spent time curating that. Lisa Candela and Laura Jewell have pieces in here, and it really sets the tone and makes it feel like a comfortable space. What did Mike want this space to convey to his customers? BW: He wanted an older feel. A lot of reference was made to old ice cream parlors and old delicatessens in New York City. He wanted his customer to feel like they could be in a small town or a big city. I think this place fits right into that. What is your design philosophy? BW: Everyone deserves a great space to come home to. •

BY TRACY KIRBY | IMAGE BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY Are you familiar with the term “stress eating?” If not, don’t worry. I’m an expert. Simply put, it’s eating while stressed. Or, eating to relieve stress. Or, just using stress as an excuse to consume something ravenously you normally wouldn’t. Today, I just ate three Flyboy Donuts in a row practically without breathing or blinking. And I’d do it again. Without an ounce of guilt. You see, our house is up for sale. I know. We are fools. Fools filled with folly, I tell you. I guess we thought, “Hey, we have two young children, a 150-pound shedding dog, why not just throw another log on this already blazing fire of chaos? Let’s move! People do it all the time!” And here I am today, stress eating donuts at an increasingly dangerous and alarming rate. I think I can actually feel my blood starting to make a sharp left into Diabetesville as the sugary frosting keeps hitting my palate. 'Why do people move all the time?’ I keep asking myself with every bite. Everyone with “for sale” signs in your yard! Why? Selling a home is stressful. It’s the ultimate form of putting yourself out there for all the world to see while living in a glass case of emotion and cleanliness. I know just by my very limited experience of house shopping that maintaining a clean, tidy, organized abode is the first step in selling your house. The potential buyers have to be able to see themselves in the house, and I’m pretty sure any potential buyer does not want to envision themselves in an apple-sauce smeared, loud toy-infested, crumbinhabited (featuring a wine room) home. So, we have staged our home in 48 // AUGUST 2016

such a way to appear as though it is a stalwart sparkly, white cabinet, vacuum-striped oasis. However, keeping it in such a state has proven to be a feat akin to harnessing a tornado in a delicate butterfly net. Just yesterday we had two showings of our home. And, while in Real Estate Land that is really good news, in my parenting land, that is a nightmare boiled over with a scent of bleach on top. A showing for us means that we have to leave the house looking as if not a one of us lives there. Not a one. This means not one shred of laundry can be on the floor, toilet and mirrors
MAKING BACK TO SCHOOL LUNCHES IS A BREEZE WITH THE NEWEST GEAR! needs to shine like the sun, handprints on windows must be banished, all toys must be hidden and silent, and one giant dog must be loaded into the car without a shred of hair remaining in the house. It sounds, like a piece of cake to some. But for me, implementing this strategy is proving to be…strenuous.

The first showing was in the morning, so I prepped the house the night before. That way, when the children arose, I could just do a quick cleaning and final vacuum before we left. All was going according to plan, until, of course, the children woke up. My daughter’s room suddenly looked like someone had ransacked it and her water from the night before got dumped all over the carpet. My eventempered baby boy dumped the entire contents of an unlocked cabinet on the floor while I attempted to make a quick breakfast before the showing. Suddenly, he was sitting in a pool of glass cleaner he somehow unscrewed and poured out. This all happened within 10 minutes of them waking. Then, at breakfast, his entire meal also went on the floor. And it just so happened that was the day Edison, the Newfoundland dog, decided to not want to eat the scraps off the ground, forcing me to clean the entire floor. Rude. The children started to try to help me clean the glass doors, only to cause a streaky mess and sopping paper towels. Sweating, running, and still in my pajamas, I started to load the children in the car at 8:58 a.m. with the showing scheduled for 9 a.m. True to form in a stressful time, both kids decided to erupt into panicked screams. Then, again with the rudeness, Edison the giant canine refused to jump in the car. Staring at me with stubborn brown eyes, he challenged, “Just try to lift me into this car, Mom.” WE DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN A FEW HOURS LATER. So far, no one has bought our house. So, I will continue stress eating. Follow Tracy on her blog, littleparentontheprairie.com.

How do I find motivation to keep in shape after swimsuit season is over? JR: You’re talking to a 30-year-old man who has worked at the same pizza joint for 10 years and lives with his parents. I’ve been looking for motivation for a real long time. If you find it, let me know its location. JW: I'm judging you right now, and I'm a pretty laid back person. Imagine what everyone else will think if you let it go. Harness that fear… JT: I’ve heard watching the movie The 300 does wonders for shaming oneself into working out. That’s why I’ve never watched it.
My husband keeps moving stuff in the kitchen and I can't ever find anything. How do I nicely suggest that I put things there for a reason? JR: I only know where two things are in the entire kitchen: the refrigerator and microwave. I take the leftover pizza out of the refrigerator and put it in the microwave. No kitchen disturbance. I would make the perfect husband. JW: Okay, this one is easy. When he's back from the hardware store re-buying all of the tools that you “cleaned up” for him, and then they “went missing,” just tell him what he's done wrong and how he should do a better job of not messing up next time. Simple. JT: I’m a big fan of ripping off the Band Aid and having those “difficult” conversations. Obviously, you’re going to want to approach the situation in a respectful manner. Ask why he put something away where he did. Maybe his reasons will make sense once you hear him out. If not, explain why you put things away where you do. But remember, use your words. If you’re “too nice” to talk about something as simple as this, your marriage is doomed.
I live with four other housemates and two of them refuse to do any chores. How can I even out the workload without calling them out? JR: My roommate-parents have been fighting this battle with me for years. Take a hint, Mom and Dad. I don’t do chores. It’s not my thing. Besides, I’m hardly there now that Pokemon Go came out. JW: In the words of Bernie Sanders, “TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX!” They either need to do their fair share of the chores, or they will have a tariff added to their rent. JT: Don’t make a chore chart. Just don’t do it. I know you want to, but you will forever be known as “that guy” if you do. Have a house meeting and talk it out. Be rational. Bring snacks. Catch flies with honey. If that doesn’t work, find a reasonably priced studio and enjoy the cleanliness that accompanies solitude.
DISCLAIMER: ASK THE JOHNS IS A SARCASTIC PIECE. THEIR ADVICE IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY… EXCEPT MAYBE JOHN T’S.

SALT // For fabric or carpet Remove wine before it dries by sprinkling salt over the stain in a thick layer. Allow it to sit for an hour. The crystals will absorb the wine and brush right off, or vacuum up.
CLUB SODA // For fabric or carpet Pour club soda (LaCroix works in a pinch) over a wet stain until the color fades. Use paper towels or a clean dish cloth to soak up the excess liquid if the stain is on carpet.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE // For fabric Create a solution of three parts hydrogen peroxide to one part dish soap. Wet the stain with the solution. Allow to dry and repeat until the stain is gone. No scrubbing necessary.
WHITE VINEGAR
// For fabric
Cover stain in white vinegar, then immediately rub in laundry detergent. Wash as usual.

NO TIME FOR THE GYM BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE OUTDOOR CHORES? COMBINE YOUR WORKOUT WITH YOUR YARD WORK USING THESE TIPS.
►SQUATTING WHILE WATERING For each plant you water, do five squats using your watering can as a weight.
►PUT “MOVE” BACK IN “MOWING” Get your heart pumping while mowing by doing 10 pushups every time you complete a section of the lawn.
►PAINT IT ON, STRETCH IT OUT Arms getting sore from touching up paint on the house? Do some cross-body and over the head tricep and bicep stretches after every 30 minutes of painting.
►JUMP INTO TRIMMING After all that bush trimming, stiffness is sure to follow. Shake it out with 10 jumping jacks after each plant trimmed (make sure to put the shears down first).
►TIME TO WEED? USE YOUR KNEES! Weeding can get hard on the knees (and the back, and the hands), mix up the monotony by doing 30 seconds of high knees and butt kicks for every five weeds pulled. 62 // AUGUST 2016
