DENISE DEPAOLO @ d en i s ed epao lo

Sioux Falls Pride was a blast, as you’ll see on our recap page. I’m writing this on the heels of the event at Terrace Park, just a week after the Orlando Night Club mass shooting. There was a real fear not just here, but all over the country, that Pride festivals were going to be subdued

Pride is just one of the dozens of events covered in this issue. Summer is a time to come together to celebrate the things that bind us, including the freedom to live and travel as we choose. In this month’s cover story, we bring you along on our annual South Dakota road trip. Nothing makes me feel more free than a fueled up car and a vague itinerary. We knew where we’d rest our heads, but between breakfast in Rapid City and checking into the Deadwood Mountain Grand, the day was ours.

SUMMER TIME TRAVEL Summers are best spent traveling, and with its eclectic collection of galleries, artifacts, and exhibits, the South Dakota Cultural Heritage Center will allow visitors to travel through time. Tucked into a bluff just north of the Capitol in Pierre, the Cultural Heritage Center features the museum of the South Dakota State Historical Society, showcasing the heritage and culture of the state.

“The facility is extraordinary,” gushed Jay Smith, the museum's director of four and a half years. “I was lucky to find such a remarkable place to come to work.”

The unique location of the museum isn't the only thing that makes it extraordinary. In addition to the permanent exhibits ranging from the territorial period to present day, the museum's temporary displays tell the history of South Dakota in an unprecedented way.

“The South Dakota Experience” is the museum's biggest exhibit, a timeline view of the state starting with the Native American population.

Its focus is on the ideas and issues that make up South Dakota, educating on what that was in the past and how those experiences created the life we know today.

“People will be surprised at all of the diversity and culture that exists here and the way that our heritage has developed over time,” said Smith.

“It's an exciting story that not only allows people to look back in time, but also see something of themselves

within South Dakota's history.”

This summer, the museum will be making the most of its unique location in the observation gallery, featuring “Building South Dakota,” opening July 30. The temporary exhibit is a study of the architectural environment from territorial days to the present, unveiling what the early settlers needed to start constructing the region we know as home today.

The observation gallery is made up of a series of windows overlooking the campus of the South Dakota state government, Hilger's Gulch,

Without the ability to display artifacts, the space will hold an assortment of images to advance the story of the evolution of the state, naturally showcasing the present day through the magnificent views from the gallery windows.

Included in the museum's summer showcase is one of its most valuable pieces, The Great Sioux Horse Effigy.

Defined as a representation of a specific person in the form of a sculpture, there is great evidence that this effigy was made by Chief No Two Horns of the Hunkpapa Sioux . It

acts as the logo of the organization and has been on international tours, traveling as far as Paris, France. The museum has the ability to borrow as a Smithsonian Affiliate, and for a limited time, it has put together a collection that will make your summer stop priceless. Chief No Two Horns (a cousin of Sitting Bull) has been known to have made additional effigies, and for the very first time, three of them are on display together.

“This is incredibly special.

We've had scholars from all over the nation come just to view these,” said Smith.

“It's quite something to see the three of them together.

I hope people realize the value in this and take advantage of the fact that they can see it right in South Dakota.”

Baseball fans have a reason to make a stop this summer, as well, with the exhibit “Play Ball, The National Pastime in South Dakota.” With the ability to try on old equipment and interact with history through modern day technology, the exhibit well represents the museum's efforts to include hands-on elements in its displays. There are a variety of programs considered “make and takes” throughout the year, offering opportunities for families to create some sort of craft to take home with them. The day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest, with the holiday open house bringing in over 800 people to see the space adorned in festive décor.

With the museum's rich history and extraordinary collections, it's easy to understand why Smith enjoys going to work. “I love when families come in, see something in our exhibits, and start talking to each other. It's amazing to overhear some of the great conversations in our gallery space.”

He reflects on the importance of the museum, stating, “I think understanding how we got here today helps ground people in their history.

We move around so much as a culture, knowing of our history helps remind us of the reasons we need to care about the place where we live. That's the purpose in everything we do here.”

Q&A

THE FIRST ANNUAL SOUTH DAKOTA YOGA CONFERENCE (SDYC) WILL TAKE PLACE ELABORATES ON WHAT WILL BE A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH NEWBIES AND EXPERIENCED YOGIS.

What are the details of the conference?

Jillian Anawaty: Before the doors officially open on Friday, there is a special gathering for yoga teachers, studio owners, and aspiring teachers to connect and discuss topics around expanding yoga in our local communities. The first class begins Friday evening, followed by the opening ceremony and catered social. Saturday classes run all day with a special Kirtan at 7:30 p.m. The Kirtan is a devotional practice and celebration of life through music in yogic chanting that helps dissolve the grip of ego, free your voice, and soothe the heart and soul. Sunday runs all morning.

What prompted the decision to put on the event?

JA: Scottie Bruch, Cheri Isaacson, and I started meeting to plan SDYC back in July 2015 with the vision to create an event that connects and strengthens our local yoga communities.

We also wanted to showcase a large variety of teachers from across South Dakota, letting people experience a broad spectrum of offerings throughout the weekend. We were able to sum the intention up with three main words: gather, embrace, and expand. SDYC is an event for people to gather, explore their practice, and foster community and connectedness. This is an event to embrace the diversity of yoga practices and draw into a potency of being centered and present, then expand back out in a ripple of goodness through our lives and the community.

How will the conference be structured?

JA: There are nine session times Friday through Sunday. During each time, there are multiple practices to choose from. To keep participants’

itineraries flexible, they are able to choose their sessions during the conference, so they don't have to lock in to their classes when they register. There are a couple of off-site sessions that will take a little more planning with travel and supplies. For instance, if they want to do the SUP Yoga session, people will need to bring a paddleboard. There will also be a catered social on Friday night and breakfast snacks provided on Saturday morning. We will have some amazing vendors, too, with time scheduled for vendor viewing.

Is this conference for newcomers to yoga?

JA: Yes. Since there are several practices of a wide variety offered at each time slot, we were able to structure the schedule to have classes for all levels throughout the day. Some classes are gentle, therapeutic and meditative, while others are more vigorous and physical. This is a great way for people to experience a wide variety of yoga, which is great for beginners to be exposed to a broad spectrum of potential practices and see what fits.

What can attendees expect at the conference?

JA: First and foremost, this is going to be fun.

We want people to leave feeling uplifted. It will be a weekend of new and shared experiences.

And even though we will spend a lot of time on the yoga mat, everyone will be able to choose the level of the intensity of his or her practice throughout the weekend.

The full conference is $222. Friday and Saturday only is $188, Sunday only is $77, and the Kirtan only is $15. Visit sdyogaconference. com for more info and details on a $23 registration discount.

THE GREAT FORGETTING

BY JAMES RENNER | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD

DO YOU BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES?

BORDERS WENT BANKRUPT? SO WHAT. THAT DOESN’T STOP FORMER EMPLOYEE MARK LLOYD FROM FINDING OUT WHAT’S THE NEXT HOTTEST READ.

You know, Elvis isn't dead. Aliens landed at Area 51. The moon landings were an elaborate ruse, and the footage was directed by Stanley Kubrick, but The Shining was his way to let the world know about it.

Yeah, I know too much about that Kubrick thing.

Anyway, what if our history is all a lie? I mean, how do we really know after everyone that lived it is dead? What if the governments of the world devised a plan to make everyone forget the real history of the world because it is just too evil?

Jack Felter doesn't believe these things. He's a history teacher in Florida, but he has to return home to Franklin Mills, Ohio to help with his father who is suffering from dementia. And he doesn't want to go back. If he goes back, he'll have to see Sam, the girl he fell in love with. But Sam left him for his best friend Tony. But Tony has gone missing.

So Jack is pulled into the search for Tony. Tony was a psychologist. He was working with a boy named Cole.

And let's just say that Cole believes in one of the biggest conspiracy theories of all. He thinks the governments of the world brainwashed everyone to forget the real World War II. He thinks that they give everyone fluoride to make them susceptible to radio signals sent out from the HAARP station in Alaska, which sends out a radio signal that makes us believe an alternate history where America entered the war and helped defeat the Nazis as we know it.

And the kicker is that everyone wanted this. Nobody wanted to remember the truth, where half the world's population died because America didn't enter World War II until the Nazis invaded America and

AND LET'S JUST SAY THAT COLE BELIEVES IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES OF ALL. almost all the world's Jews were eradicated.

But Cole made Tony believe, and when Jack gets in touch with Cole to try and get a lead to finding Tony, he just might make Jack believe.

And Jack might just have to save the world from the great forgetting.

R .F. PETTIGREW

In South Dakota, we are big on history. Especially if it has to do with rough-and-tumble elements like the Wild West and the lives of rural farm families of the mid-to-late 1800’s. It seems that we sometimes forget that at the start of the 20th Century, South Dakota was a very young state, and its founders were still running the show, both in government and in local society. Sioux Falls’ Pettigrew Home and Museum is an impeccable example of how this upwardly mobile middle class lived and shaped the community we know today.

24 // JULY 2016

A visit to the Pettigrew Home and Museum, located at 8th and Duluth in central Sioux Falls, begins at the junction of the house and the museum addition. If one turns right, they can wander through two floors of galleries dedicated to the life and adventures of R.F. Pettigrew, South Dakota’s first fullterm U.S. senator, and to the earliest days of Sioux Falls. To the left is the home, in all of its preserved and restored glory. That is where we are going.

Siouxland Heritage Museums curator of education Kevin Gansz is our guide to the Queen Anne-style home, built in South Dakota’s first year of statehood, 1889. It is a creation of Wallace Dow, the city’s first premier architect, responsible for many prominent buildings in the tri-state area, including Sioux Falls’ Old Courthouse Museum, the South Dakota School for the Deaf, and University of South Dakota’s Old Main. Like many of his buildings, the Pettigrew home is built from materials readily available at the time, including pink quartzite and locally-made pressed brick. Although the home is associated almost exclusively with Pettigrew, it was originally built for the McMartin family, and sold to the senator in 1911 for the tidy sum of $12,000.

Gansz first brings us into the kitchen, which would have been the domain of the Pettigrews' maid. In the corner is the back staircase, which extends from basement all the way to the maid’s room in the attic. The Pettigrews wanted a modern home, and made many updates. This included the addition of a gas stove, a telephone, and the installation of linoleum - which was a revolutionary material of the time. The kitchen also features a combination lighting fixture, which can use both electrical and gas power, a practical design for a time when electricity was largely unreliable.

“Sometimes it only worked during the week and not on the weekend, during the day but not at night,” explained Gansz. “So when that happened, you could turn the key and light your gas jets.”

Next we pass through a large pantry, with one side dedicated to food storage and the other to serving. It is on that side that a door leads us into our first public space, the dining room. Below a painting depicting The Falls and land that would become Downtown as Pettigrew first saw it in 1869 is a tile fireplace, which is another signature of Dow. It is one of five such examples in the home.

The table is decorated with a tasteful floral centerpiece, elaborate candlesticks, and the type of dishware most of us admire in our grandmother’s china hutch, but are never allowed to actually use.

"We’re not quite Downton Abbey, but good table manners were a sign of good etiquette at the time."

"When the senator and his wife sat down to a meal, they enjoyed a much more formal style of eating than we’re used to. We’re not quite Downton Abbey, but good table manners were a sign of good etiquette at the time. You would have had to know how to use all the forks and spoons,” laughed Gansz, pointing to the base of one chair, “There was even a call button on the floor and Mrs. Pettigrew could ring the buzzer that would call the maid in here to serve them in the dining room.”

One of the home’s many stained glass windows glows from one wall, with gilded paint coating the lead between panes. Also illuminating the room is a multi-pendant chandelier, signed by famed glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (son of Tiffany and Company founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany), a personal friend of the senator.

Through the dining room, we pass by the back parlor.

It is considered the casual one in the double-parlor home. This was a space for the family to relax and loosen their collars a bit. The room’s Chinese desk and chair with carved dragons for arms reflect the senator’s world travels and status as an amateur archaeologist. In the corner, a Reginaphone sits atop a table. This is a precursor to modern turntables, which plays large metal discs and sounds much like a gigantic music box. The room also features what Gansz refers to as the "La-Z-Boy’s great-grandfather."

Despite its relative informality, the room is still well appointed with silk damask wallcoverings, elaborate plaster moldings, and delicately painted canvas on the 11-foot ceilings, which extend into the adjacent front parlor.

The front parlor holds a Steinway grand piano, which originally belonged to the Phillips family next door.

As the first Mrs. Pettigrew was an accomplished pianist, it is known that a similar instrument would have been in the room. A large, ornate rug covers the oak flooring, which was a piece commissioned by Pettigrew. A second Tiffany chandelier hangs from the painted ceiling.

Throughout the home, one consistent feature is the masterfully carved woodwork. What varies, however, is the type of wood used from room to room, and the increase in detail as spaces become more public. In the private sections of the house, one sees a modest fir. Then in the back parlor and dining room, cherry is used. The front parlor is crafted from birdseye maple, and oak is used in the foyer and on the grand staircase. Even the pocket doors between rooms are finished with the wood appropriate for the spaces they face.

"You wow people through the woodwork on the first floor of your house.”

Because these woods were not readily available in Sioux Falls at the time, Gansz says this use of material sent a very specific message. “I have status, I have money. You wow people through the woodwork on the first floor of your house.”

Everyday wallpaper wouldn’t do to complement such woodwork. In addition to the silk damask found in the parlors, the first floor boasts examples of deeply embossed anaglypta and lincrusta wall coverings. The foyer’s lincrusta, which is made from wood pulp, extends to the ceiling in a slightly varied pattern.

Busts of both R.F. Pettigrew and his brother, Fred, flank the foyer’s tile fireplace. They seem like fitting memorials, as R.F.’s funeral was held in the space, and the museum, which opened a year before the senator’s death, is dedicated to the memory of Fred.

The tour continues to the second floor, where the bedrooms, the senator’s most cherished retreat, and pieces from his artifact collection (including a chunk of an Egyptian pyramid) are located. For those interested in history or interior design, a viewing is a must.

Gansz says there are two big reasons to make the trip.

“You have the person himself. R.F. Pettigrew.

I use the term often, but he was a founding father. There was no bigger promoter of Sioux Falls. This man was dedicated not only to his community, but to this state. And then the house itself. A lot of historic homes in this neighborhood have gone through transitions.

Duluth Avenue, having an address here meant you made it. Here’s a great example of how these home were really used.”

LOST CABIN BEER COMPANY Named for some of the Black Hills’ best hiking trails, LOST CABIN BEER COMPANY founders Tom Silbernagel and Jesse Scheitler say the moniker evokes the local vibe they want for their venture.

“We wanted to pick a name that ties back to the Hills and shows our strong connection to the area,” said Scheitler.

locally grown hops, fermented slightly warmer with lager yeast. This is also the first style of beer I brewed 16 years ago.”

“Cabin makes you think of friends, family, and relaxation,” Silbernagel added, “But most important, no other brewery, winery, or distillery was using the name.”

Most of the selections are brewed-in house, but typically a few local guest taps are featured. Keeping with the collaborative, communal attitude of the greater industry, Lost Cabin’s founders are big, vocal fans of other beer makers in the Black Hills and elsewhere, and in turn, the community has embraced the new venture.

The new brewery’s taproom opened mid-May in central Rapid City, but has been a passion project for the past three years. As homebrewers, the founders admired the general ethos of the craft beer industry and dreamed of making beer for a living.

“I really look up to some of the early craft beer pioneers like Stone and Sierra Nevada that have refused to put profit before quality and built their businesses on sustainable practices,” said Scheitler.

For Silbernagel, the shift has represented a change in lifestyle, as well. “The craft brewing industry as a whole has a pretty awesome business model. Know your market, work together, and make great beer. I came from a pretty cut throat geospatial mapping industry and the brewing industry is a breath of fresh air. I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

At any given time, guests can choose from a dozen different beers on tap, including bestseller Dakota Common Lager.

“This beer is our twist on an old gold rush beer that many miners drank back in the day,” explained Silbernagel. “It is brewed with 30 // JULY 2016

“Everyone has been really receptive to what we have going on, the support has been outstanding and it's great to see people in Rapid City excited and talking about styles like saisons and Scotch ales,” said Scheitler.

The craft beer industry’s emphasis on creativity is another gigantic plus for the Lost Cabin team. They say customers are constantly coming and asking what’s new.

“I think the lack of rules with American brewing is exciting and gives brewers a lot of creative freedom to interpret styles and push the limits of what you can do with beer,” said Silbernagel. “I like Hunter S. Thompson's explanation: 'The edge...There is no honest way to describe it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.’ I'm glad to see so much diversity in the craft beer scene. It would be really boring if everyone were only brewing IPA. I love to see the sours and other lesser known styles starting to make their way to market.”

“EVERYONE HAS BEEN REALLY RECEPTIVE TO WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON, THE SUPPORT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE IN RAPID CITY EXCITED AND TALKING ABOUT STYLES LIKE SAISONS AND SCOTCH ALES.” This summer, the partners are excited to release seasonal brews like their Munich Helles, and new versions on their rotating saison. The plan is also to expand the company’s barrel program and put more emphasis on wood aging, while continuing to focus on what’s important to them as beermakers.

“Our approach to brewing is really to break it down to quality ingredients,” said Scheitler. “If we start with the best hops and barley that we can possibly find, our job is to present those ingredients in a way that is interesting and we work to highlight those ingredients, not hide them. It often comes down to simplicity. Sometimes the most complex flavor profiles we create come from very few ingredients. Yeast wants to make beer, we just try to guide it on its way.”

W

hen we find ourselves waxing nostalgic, one trope that inevitably comes to mind is summertime. Many of us think about the sense of possibility on the last day of school, playing outside until our laughter mingled with the fireflies, Fourth of July barbecues and popsicles and fireworks...or a road trip that made us realize there is more to the world than, well, our own little world. While we can never go back to the days of our youth, we can always prioritize the sense of adventure and discovery that too many adults shelve in exchange for the minutia of daily life. South Dakotans are particularly fortunate. We don’t have to get on a plane or a ship to see wonders natural and manmade - we just need to make a playlist, grab the sunflower seeds, and get into the car.

Each year the 605 Magazine staff hits the road to explore different corners of our great state. In 2015, we camped on the Ft. Pierre National Grassland before winding our way down central South Dakota’s Native American Scenic Byway. This year, we decided to go west and really see the Black Hills. So often we make quick trips to one spot or another for stories, but never do we take the time to enjoy the scenery and immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We plotted a route that took us south from Rapid City before looping north and back down again. The 165-mile route could be driven in a day, but it could easily fill a week. And that’s the beauty of a road trip - the timing is all up to you.

We first traveled west at the breakneck speed of I-90, stopping only to refuel the Jeep and ourselves at the Oacoma exit. With gas prices the lowest they’ve been in years, this trip felt like less of a luxury and more of an inevitability. Being the week before Memorial Day, Al’s Oasis was quiet as we ate our biscuits and gravy and sipped our penny coffee. A mere three days later, we would have been competing for table space with tourists of every ilk, below the watchful eyes of taxidermied fauna.

After arriving in Rapid City a few hours later, we were all ready for a beer and headed to new craft brewery, Lost Cabin. After partaking in flights of stout and Scotch ale and Prickly Pear Saison, we retired for a good night’s sleep.

Tally’s Silver Spoon is popular at all times of day, but breakfast is one of the best. It has something for everyone, from five-dollar biscuits and gravy to fourteen-dollar smoked salmon benedict. Located on one of downtown Rapid City’s busiest corners, across from the Hotel Alex Johnson (and behind the Ronald Reagan statue), it seemed like a good place to begin our day.

ORDERING THREE DRINKS IS PERFECTLY COMMON.

With full bellies and minds buzzing with caffeine, we headed south out of Rapid City on Mount Rushmore Road, toward Keystone. The drive to this popular tourist town gets prettier with every mile, as the rock faces get higher and the trees denser. Driving into Keystone, we knew we were in the calm before the storm, largely because of the ease with which we found a parking space.

KEYSTONE

JOHN'S A DAD! MEET ABE!

For the next 30 minutes or so, we wandered through the touristy shops, buying little nicknacks - a train whistle, a baja blanket to fight the chilly air coming into our open-air Jeep, and the crown jewel, a jackalope for the office named Abe. Back in the Jeep, we headed for Custer State Park via Iron Mountain Road. This is not a route for those under any sort of time constraint. It pigtails tightly through dense forest, winds around mountains, and soars across spectacular vistas. In some places, one can see what the Black Hills were like before they were touched by miners and men. In others, stone tunnels and towering pines frame the ultimate mark of humanity on the Hills, Mount Rushmore.

The landscape opened up a bit as we entered

Custer State Park, and its signature bison began appearing in the distance. One bull stood boldly near the road, alternately munching on grasses and scratching his enormous head on a tree stump, aware of, but not interested in our presence. Not ones to push our luck, we moved on after a few moments, stopping again at the State Game Lodge. The palatial native stone and wood structure was once a favorite amongst presidents, and now serves as a hotel, restaurant, and general point of interest. We took the opportunity to grab a snack of buffalo ravioli, cheese, crackers, and fruit in the restaurant, accompanied by pints of Crow Peak Canyon Cream Ale.

IT PIGTAILS TIGHTLY THROUGH DENSE FOREST, WINDS AROUND MOUNTAINS, AND SOARS ACROSS SPECTACULAR VISTAS. Our drive through the park brought us passed waterfalls, bubbling brooks, and the summer camp-like Black Hills Playhouse, before coming to the entrance of Needles Highway.

After paying our fee at the gate, and continuing for another few wooded miles, the trees gave way to the jagged namesake formations. At every turn, the landscape became more jawdropping as spires began rising from the roadside and in clusters all the way to the wooded horizon.

We pulled into Hill City mid-afternoon, ready to stretch our legs and get a little refreshment.

Our first stop was Mountain Treats for a little ice cream. Then, after weaving our way through some of the artisan and souvenir shops, we popped into the Bumpin’ Buffalo for a Miner Chokecherry Brown Ale and to take in the view from the rooftop bar.

Our final stop for the day would be Deadwood, which is roughly an hour’s drive north from Hill City on US385. This road is a little faster than some of the other Black Hills roads, but is still extremely scenic, hugging the sprawling, sparkling Pactola Lake near the midpoint.

NEEDLES HIGHWAY

When we arrived in Deadwood, we checked into the Deadwood Mountain Grand. Built from part of the historic Homestake Mine Slime Plant, the Holiday Inn resort looks more Old West than chain hotel. Due to its unique architecture, the hotel was a bit of a maze to navigate initially, but our rooms, with their tasteful cream and dark wood interiors, were a welcome oasis after a day on the road. However, we didn’t have much time to recharge before catching our dinner reservation at the nearby Franklin Silverado’s Legends Steakhouse.

AT EVERY TURN, THE LANDSCAPE BECAME MORE JAW-DROPPING Legends is a relatively new addition to the Deadwood dining scene, and is located in the casino’s lower level.

The décor could be described as “upscale masculine.” Our server, Jason, was extremely knowledgable and helped us navigate the menu, which was both traditional and creative. We began our meal with Bang Bang Shrimp, then moved on to salads, including Legends’ Vanilla Fields (vanilla vinaigrette was a first for us, but with dried cherries, pistachios and feta, it was surprisingly lovely). For the main course, most of us ordered steaks or salmon, but the entree that stood out was the prime rib.

ONE AT A TIME!

SYLVAN LAKE

When ordering, we were told that the prime rib was enough for two, maybe three, people. We politely chuckled and ordered it anyway. What came to the table was straight out of The Great Outdoors or perhaps The Flintstones. Even sharing portions with the rest of the table, the tender, medium rare portion of bovine bliss could not be fully conquered.

After dinner, we decided to burn off a few calories and walked down to Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort, at the end of the main drag. There, casino staff gave us a lesson in craps, one of Deadwood’s newest games. In the hour that we spent playing our fake chips and having the rules patiently explained, our group came to grasp the

concept enough to muddle our way through. The dealers told us that they’re happy to help players any time (since it is new, this is a necessity), but anyone is welcome to come and learn Saturdays at 1 p.m.

When we were through learning the ins and outs of craps, it was time to wind down with a cocktail. So, we headed to the happeningest place on a Thursday night, Saloon No. 10.

The rest of the evening was spent dancing to the live band below row upon row of taxidermied beasts.

Friday morning, we ate a breakfast of Black Hills Bagels and Sturgis Coffee at The Pump House, a charming gas stationturned-cafe. Half of the building is dedicated to food, while the other half is all about glass. Deadwood glassblower Toni Gerlach runs Mind Blown Studio out of the building. A natural teacher, Gerlach gave each member of our party a lesson on paper weights, but other would-be glass artists can make Christmas ornaments, cups or bowls. One of the best parts of returning home was receiving our creations in the mail a couple days later.

HILL CITY BUMPIN' BUFFALO

Before leaving Deadwood, we made the hike up to nearby Mt. Moriah Cemetery to pay our respects to the town’s Wild West legends. Then it was over to Belle Joli’s tasting room for some wine sampling, before capping off the stay with the “Wild Bill Tour” at Old Style Saloon No. 10. (Different from the Saloon No. 10 we’d patronized the night before, which is located down the street.)

To avoid the rather comprehensive construction happening outside Deadwood, we looped through Lead on our way out of town, before meeting up with Nemo Road en route to Rapid City. We could have taken I-90 most of the way back, but passing up the scenic route was not an option. Nemo Road is a route alternately hugged by dense forest and sweeping pastureland bookended by towering peaks, as it takes you passed charming mountain homes and communities.

After 36 hours roaming The Hills, our arrival back in Rapid City was a rather jarring return to reality. Our day-and-ahalf felt much longer, due to the total sensory immersion demanded by the landscape. Returning home from a vacation is never easy, but at least this time, the transition back into real life was eased with waffle cones from Silver Linings Creamery, and a reflective drive back east across our great state.

us to take a beat and recharge. For those in Sioux Falls, such an oasis exists in the center of town, at The Outdoor Campus.

With miles of walking trails, classes for all ages, and an abundance of native flora and fauna, it’s a popular place to spend time.

But, operating on revenues from hunting and fishing licenses, and offering all classes for free, success wouldn’t be possible without volunteers.

Volunteer coordinator Monica Boyer has been coming to The Outdoor Campus since she was a “Sprout” (the 3-4 age group). She started volunteering at age 12 and now, as a second-year college intern, works with roughly 150 others, making sure they have everything they need.

“We have volunteers from all age groups up to their 80s - and all different schools,” explained Boyer. “When you walk through our doors, you can feel the excited energy of our staff and volunteers. We are 40 // JULY 2016

Volunteers help The Outdoor Campus by welcoming visitors at the front desk, caring for animals, filling bird feeders, helping with small repairs, and teaching classes in outdoor cooking, archery, BB guns, fishing, and paddling.

BY DENISE DEPAOLO

“Kids are now eating things like edamame and sushi. I didn't know what shiitake mushrooms were when I was 10 most kids today do.”— Emeril Lagasse When I told friends I’d never been to Crave before, I was met with a mixture of amusement and horror. Apparently, it’s a thing, and as a lover of delicious foods and a frequent visitor to the Twin Cities, the thought of never darkening the small chain’s threshold was just plain silly. With three Minnesota locations, including Mall of America, many South Dakotans were already familiar before it took over the space in downtown Sioux Falls’ Hilton Garden Inn once occupied by the embattled Elements. I was interested to see what an established brand could do here, and frankly excited that it was all happening directly across the street from our Cherapa Place office.

A colleague and I stopped by for lunch during the restaurant’s first full week of operation. Having worked in the industry, I was ready to forgive less-than-perfect service, since most restaurants would still be working to hit their stride in these early days. With Crave, it was immediately apparent that there was nothing to forgive. From the moment we were greeted by the host, we were content cogs in a well-oiled culinary experience.

Our server stopped by for drink orders immediately and asked if it was our first visit. My companion had been to the Minneapolis-area locations, to which the server replied that he was actually based out of the Bloomington location and was in Sioux Falls to help the opening go smoothly. Of course not all new restaurants have the benefit of this, but it certainly seemed to help Crave hit the ground running. Especially being my first visit, it was nice having a server who was already an expert to help navigate the rather diverse menu.

And by diverse, I mean, the only common thread in the menu’s sections seemed to be the quality and attention to detail each item seemed to promise. From the sushi menu, we chose the Bamboo Bite. Under the “Burgers and Sandwiches” heading, we selected the Crispy Chicken Sliders. Finally, we chose the Edamame and Tuna Poké from the appetizer list. We had to draw the line somewhere, which means we didn’t even touch the “Seafood, Chicken & Pasta,” “Flatbread,” “Soup/Salad,” or “Snack” sections (tempting as Truffle Parmesan Fries were).

42 // JULY 2016

The edamame showed up first. It was a lovely departure from the standard soybeans typically served steamed with a bit of sea salt.

These came coated in an addictively tasty sriracha soy glaze that was simultaneously sweet, salty and spicy. Black and white sesame seeds added an earthy aftertaste, and a squeeze of the lemon served alongside brought a bright acidity.

The sliders showed up as we munched on the edamame, along with a pile of seasoned fries and a side of Asian slaw. The chicken was wellseasoned with a light, crispy breading and I loved the house-made pickles. The Asian slaw was my favorite thing on the plate, though.

The cabbage was crunchy, the dressing was creamy (but not too much), and there was a just a little kick that kept things interesting.

THE LARGE AVOCADOTOPPED ROLL WAS FILLED WITH CRUNCHY TEMPURA SHRIMP AND CREAM CHEESE WITH RAZORTHIN SLICES OF JALAPENO AND DRIZZLES OF SWEET UNAGI AND SAVORY HIBACHI SAUCES. Next, we dug into the poké. For those unfamiliar, this is a raw fish salad made with tuna, which is common in Hawaiian cuisine.

Although I had eaten plenty of raw tuna, it was never like this. The fish practically melted in my mouth amid an explosion of soy and sesame, tempered by chili oil-drizzled avocado. How has poké not been in my life until now?

Finally, we attacked our sushi roll. The Bamboo Bite was refreshing, spicy, crunchy, garlicky and just plain mouthwatering. The large

avocado-topped roll was filled with crunchy tempura shrimp and cream cheese with razor-thin slices of jalapeno and drizzles of sweet unagi and savory hibachi sauces.

Bottom line: I’m probably going to go broke with this place across the street. Mostly because it will be hard to select just one item to order.

TONI GERLACH

AGE: 31 // HOMETOWN: LAS VEGAS, NV SPECIALTY: GLASSBLOWING

BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON

TONI GERLACH first discovered her love and passion for glass as a young girl in Las Vegas. Now nestled in the heart of Deadwood, Gerlach runs a glassblowing studio connected to The Pump House, a coffee shop and deli. Guests can grab a bite to eat and watch her work, or even take a glassblowing class from Gerlach herself.

Can you tell us a bit about your background?

Toni Gerlach: I grew up in Las Vegas. I have one brother, Jesse, and he still lives there. Both of my parents grew up in South Dakota; my Dad from Pierre and my mom from Deadwood, so I am South Dakotan at heart! I did spend plenty of time in SoDak growing up as both of my grandparents lived here and I saw them quite regularly.

How did you get started with glassblowing?

TG: From a young age I have always been fascinated with glass. I remember looking up at the sea of glass on the 46 // JULY 2016

Bellagio’s ceiling and knowing that I wanted to learn this amazing art form. For my 15th birthday my mother enrolled me in a glassblowing class, much like those I offer today in my own studio. This was my first experience working with glass and I was hooked! I immediately enrolled in a three month course. During this time, I realized I wanted to truly pursue glassblowing as my career. I then continued and still am continuing to learn this amazing craft. It is truly my life’s passion.

I have studied visual arts and glass blowing at California State University San Marcos and completed apprenticeships at a variety of glass blowing studios in California, New York, Nevada, and South Dakota.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THE GLASS IS THAT ONCE YOU START THE PROCESS, IT HAS TO BE FINISHED.

JOIN US: SEPT. 9TH & 10TH $50 - 160 / TICKET 100 W. 8TH SIOUX FALLS, SD FEATURED SPEAKER: LESLIE JORDAN www.EqualitySummit.com • Facebook.com/DakotasEqualitySummit

Special thanks to our title sponsors!

What do you love about being a glassblower?

TG: What I love about glass the most is that you are not able to touch it with your hands to manipulate the shape. You always have to have a tool and sometimes it is challenging to find that tool! Another favorite quality of the glass of mine is that you constantly have to manipulate the heat if an area is too “cold” (1,800 degrees) the glass could crack or break. On the other side, if the glass is too hot (2,100 degrees) you will lose the shape of the glass you already sculpted. There is a fine line of working temperature. What I love most about the glass is that once you start the process, it has to be finished. You can’t just set it off to the side and work on it later.

What is unique about the location of your shop in the Black Hills?

TG: Our shop is located in an old Texaco service station. It’s decorated with oil cans and signs from the era when it was still a gas station. Now I blow glass where they used to change oil and we make sandwiches and coffee where they used to have the office. Having a coffee deli in a museum of sorts is pretty unique on its own, but then you throw in the fact people can watch glass being blown, or even work with glass themselves. I think we’re pretty one-of-a-kind there!

How can people find out more about lessons and demonstrations this summer?

TG: They can visit our website mindblownstudio.com where we have all the info on the glass experiences we offer, as well as what times I’m in the studio working. We do our best to keep all the info there up-todate, but we encourage people coming a long way to call ahead. As the summer heats up, some days are just too hot to be in the studio.

THE “ I NCONVE N I E NCE ” OF CH I L DR E N

BY TRACY KIRBY IMAGE BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

I

t started off like a perfect day.

We were visiting the pacific northwest for a family wedding and we were gifted with a few hours of rare sunshine. So, I donned my mom-friendly swimsuit, lathered up my fair-skinned family in sunscreen and away we went with an obnoxiously heavy pool bag to find the sun and water.

My family was there (gathered from all corners of the earth) for the wedding and my daughter, Avianna, excitedly ran to find her cousin. My husband and I went on man-to-man coverage; he with our son and me with Avianna. While we were swimming and having a summery time, Avianna and I noticed bees began to swarm where we were. Alarmed, I picked her up and went to more of the center of the small pool hoping we would out-maneuver the little stingers. When they kept coming after us, I moved faster and finally got away from them. However, in all the maneuvering, my 4-year-old daughter began to clutch me tightly and quietly cry in my shoulder because, as she is with every other kind of bug or insect, she is deathly afraid of bees. (I blame her city-girl mother.)

After we had escaped, I hugged her tightly, gently whispering it was okay, and she immediately calmed.

But right then, I felt a small, but forceful tap on my shoulder.

Cradling Avianna in my arms in the water, I turned around to find 48 // JULY 2016

a woman in her 50’s staring coldly at me and the scared little girl in my arms.

Staring at me as if I had just murdered her prized family goat in cold blood, she said in a stern and loud voice. “I have been listening to you and that girl, and I don’t even think children should be in this pool. So, why don’t you take her out of here now and make sure she has her tantrum some place else.”

Stunned. I completely froze.

Perhaps I have been in the friendly midwest too long, because my brain could not compute the harshness of her statement. Children aren’t allowed in the...pool? Tantrum?

What tantrum? Am I on some type of bizarre TV show? Where are the cameras? Looking around confused and not seeing any cameras, I looked back at her face as she continued to stare at me as if trying to bore a hole into my soul.

I turned away quickly, trying to shield my daughter from her crazy stare. I wish I would have said something in defense of my daughter. But instead, in a total daze, I just turned and walked away.

I had not encountered such blatant hostility since…well, middle school.

My daughter started to cry and said, “Why was that lady so mean?

I’m sorry I was crying, Mommy.”

Pause. If you have read any other of my columns, you know I am the first person to admit I have witnessed public disorderly

tantrums by my daughter, in which I quickly remove her from the scene and apologize. However, this just wasn’t one of those times. She was barely crying. She was simply scared. As I got out of the pool and dried my sniffling child, I got down and looked her straight in the eye and said, “You did nothing wrong, honey, let’s just get out of here.”

The rest of the day, I played that moment over and over and over in my mind. What had we done that so bothered that woman? What could I have done differently?

Why did this whole scenario make me feel so…gross? And the more I thought about it, the more a grander picture began to materialize. This woman at the pool looked at my daughter as a mere inconvenience. My child, just by being a child, inconvenienced her.

WHEN DID CHILDREN BECOME SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE? Aren’t children, as horrifically melodramatic as it sounds, truly our future? Aren’t they (duh) the key to carrying on the human race?

If there are no children, there is no one to take care of us when we are old. No one to perform surgery on us. No one to keep our family name in play in the universe. No one to retell history to keep us from repeating it. And no one to tell us we are getting old and crazy.

Seems odd then, to treat the

kings and queens of tomorrow as inconveniences of today.

Yet we all do it. We see it in our foster care system. Orphanages.

Insanely short maternity and paternity leave. Underfunded schools. Abuse. Neglect.

Abandonment. Or a dirty look and a roll of the eyes at a restaurant.

And yes, we even see it when a woman yells at a 4-year-old at a happy pool in Portland. The systematic labeling of children as “inconvenient” surrounds us.

Yet, despite that, there are still some that see beyond that label.

What I didn’t tell you was that after we got out of the pool, a couple followed us out. When they approached me, they pulled me aside and said, “We are just so sorry.

We cannot believe that woman said that to you. You need to know, your daughter did nothing wrong.

We got out of the pool because we don’t even want to be near a woman like that. We love children and you’re doing a great job.”

Words cannot express how thankful I am for that couple’s words to me that day. I hope I, too, am always a fellow cheerleader of parents. I hope I always appreciate children and the parents that are trying to raise them. I hope I, like that couple, always remember that children are not ever, not even for a moment, an inconvenience.

How can I psych myself up to have a good time, when all I can think about is the wild animals, bugs, and potential serial killers in the woods?

JR: I do not understand carbon emissions, but I sure get luxury.

Don’t let a few bucks and the environment get in the away of an enjoyable, luxurious trip to some national parks.

JR: When I met my girlfriend, I told her that I enjoyed medicine.

I’ve been pretending to be a doctor ever since. Unless you want to return to singledom, smile, and lie through your teeth.

JW: Since global warming is a made up thing by Al Gore, just take that part of it out of the equation.

If you are going to parts that have off-road places to camp, that would be sweet to bring the SUV. Also, if you hit and kill an old fisherman in the rain, transporting the body will be easier in the SUV. So I vote SUV for you, because you don't want someone to ever say, "I know what you did last summer."

JW: You are feeling the much deserved blowback from "The Girl Move." What is that, you say? It is when ladies will pretend to be into whatever the guy is, or pretend that it is cool that he's close friends with his ex for a few months until you're a cemented couple. Then, at some point, you have to show the true you. And the true you better not be allergic to poison oak, because you're going camping!

JT: I’m a cheapskate with a guilty conscience, so I’m going to say hybrid all the way. Plus, you can use that extra money for trail rides, white water rafting, and sweatshirts you’ll never wear again.

JT: Luckily, South Dakota state parks have you covered. Just opt for a cabin instead of a tent site. It’s the perfect compromise. He gets the trees and solitude. You get AC and a locking door.

I received what I think is a re-gifted gift card for my birthday from a friend. It has four dollars and change left on it for a local restaurant. Should I say something in case there was a mistake, or just enjoy the discount the next time I patronize that establishment?

JR: I haven’t gotten a birthday gift from a friend since elementary school. I would say he or she went above and beyond. Take that gift card and buy yourself a beer.

Cheers.

JW: That is 90 cups of coffee at Wall Drug or infinite glasses of free ice water! You're rich!

JT: If you want to bring it up, wait until you’re both a little tipsy and make a joke about it. Otherwise, just appreciate the fact that your friend liked you enough to attempt to give you a free meal that could have been theirs.

LEWIS AND CLARK INTERPRETIVE CENTER

HOMESTEAD ROCK OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER

(chamberlainsd.com/area-culture/lewis-and-clark-interpretive-center)

Located between exits 263 and 265, the center commemorates the duo’s exploration of South Dakota.

Stroll around the property’s scenic walkway and take in views of the Missouri River, Chamberlain and Oacoma.

There’s even a replica keelboat if you really want to feel like an explorer.

(ingallshomestead.com)

Although it’s a bit out of the way, this stop is perfect for any true Little House fan. Walk through the recreated homestead and even try driving a covered wagon or make your own corn cob doll, just like Laura.

WAUBAY NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE (waubaycitysd.com/Waubay_National_Wildlife.html)

BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK (nps.gov/badl/index.htm)

Use exit 131 and you’ll run into the iconic Badlands National Park. Hike the plethora of trails, or plan an overnight camping trip and participate in the Summer Night Sky Viewing Program at the Cedar Pass Campground Amphitheater any Friday through Monday night this summer.

With over 4,650 acres of lakes, grasslands, and woodlands to its name, Waubay’s National Wildlife Refuge is the stop for any nature lover. Hike the trails and experience the largest duck production site in the continental United States.

MCCRORY GARDENS (mccrorygardens.com)

PORTER SCULPTURE PARK (portersculpturepark.com)

Open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Porter Sculpture Park is located right off I-90 about 30 minutes west of Sioux Falls. Walk through the 50+ larger-than-life sculptures designed by SD Renaissance man Wayne Porter.

62 // JULY 2016

Brookings may be home to the SDSU Jackrabbits, but the town’s McCrory Gardens are an ideal place to take a break from the car. With over 25 acres of the area’s finest flowers, the gardens are a summer must-see.

If there’s no time for a walk, stop at a rest area for some light stretching.

Those truly strapped for time can stretch right in the car. Find ideas at 605magazine.com.
