Bitter Honey is the latest al- guitar, John “Slap” Myers bum created by Burlap Wolf on bass, Phil Mueller on King – set for release Friday, drums, Alex Olsen at the May 19 with a concert at keys, and Megan DeBoer Icon Event Hall + Lounge on vocals.

Ac- contributions of these artists, cording to Thomas Hentges, some of whom he’s known who’s previously gone solo for 15 years, is part of what under the Burlap name, this makes the album shine. record is true to their Americana/folk roots, with a lot of “I definitely think it’s a big step forward as far as the focus dedicated to the basics songwriting goes, as well as of songwriting. the performances,” he said.

It’s seeing those sounds and lyrics come to life that pushes Hentges to keep pursuing music. “It’s because of the moments of human relation,” he noted. “ It feels really good to get lost and engaged in something that’s maybe bigger than you every so often.”

Hentges changed the way he connected with audiences about a decade ago. He entered the music industry through a Christian-themed metalcore band called Nodes of Ranvier, but says his current genre is more where he belongs.

Pockets and genres are taking hold, which he considers a sign of growth.

A native of Madison, and 17 year resident of Sioux Falls, Hentges says that part of the creative process that matters to him is being “I think that’s the sign of something able to give a voice to the people. healthy brewing … when scenes can He says he can’t imagine living any- kind of represent themselves, even where else after experiencing, from by genre.

Q&A

LATE SUMMER PLUMS

BY SION LIDSTER

"I REALLY HAVE NO OTHER POETIC, ARTISTIC INTERESTS THAN THAT OF THE NATURAL WORLD." There are few better feelings than taking some time to appreciate the great outdoors, and according to poet Kevin L. Cole, you needn't travel too far away from home to get lost in nature.

605 talked to the Sioux Falls author about his new book, Late Summer Plums, and the importance of capturing moments simply by looking closely.

Why is poetry good for getting one outside and, better yet, into the natural world?

Kevin L. Cole: I have to be outdoors to write poetry.

Even my poems set in the city are about the natural world. One's backyard, a city park, the bike path – they all offer up a wealth of inspiration if you have your eyes open. I've written several poems about things I've seen on the bike path.

In what ways do you hope to inspire your readers?

Heron in Early Spring Behind the great blue heron, a field of mallow Shining in noon light brighter than bleached marrow.

In the shallow, swirling eddies she stands, A gray sage untethered by the implacable pull of land.

To her the river is neither boundary nor quandary; She contemplates no Heraclitean mystery.

Bullhead, emerald shiners, and yellow perch Swim heedlessly under her still and steady watch.

They can’t see through the layer of catkins Blanketing the black banks and the river’s cold skin; They glide and balance themselves against the current, Their lithe, muscled bodies in uniform suspension.

What are the heron’s silver feet to them But some strange stylus scrawling cuneiform?

KC: I find that many people in this region don't understand why you'd write about [nature]: "What's there to write about?" is a question I've heard countless times since I moved here almost 20 years ago.

There's plenty, but you have to get out. You have to take long walks, look closely, be open to possibility, such as seeing a hawk clasping a snake, a rare warbler, or a doe fording a river.

What do you enjoy writing about nature-wise on this side of the state?

KC: When I think of East River, I think of the geography outside of the city. That said, most of my poems were inspired by stamps of geography no fewer than 15 miles outside of Sioux Falls – places where I hardly ever see anyone else.

Two sections of the book feature poems set in the city that are still natural-world poems. The natural world has a way of inserting itself no matter where you are.

On writing this book - why nature? Why now?

KC: Growing up in south Texas on the Gulf Coast, I spent much more time outside than inside: camping and fishing on the beach and back bays, summers in northern New Mexico, working on the family farm.

And, always, my father was teaching me how to observe the natural world, how to look closely, how to keep your eyes "peeled," as he always said.

BY CHUCK WENDIG

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

HANNAH STANDER IS A FUTURIST. SHE LOOKS FOR PATTERNS IN THE WORLD IN AN ATTEMPT TO POSTULATE THE PROBABLE FUTURE. SHE PROBABLY GOT THIS WAY BECAUSE HER PARENTS ARE DOOMSDAY PREPPERS. THEY HAVE BUG OUT BAGS AND A PLAN FOR WHEN IT FINALLY GOES DOWN. Now, you might ask yourself what someone with this particular skill does? Hannah consults for the FBI. They like to know what the future holds. She gets called in on special cases.

Her contact with the FBI is Hollis Copper. When Hannah’s phone rings, and it’s Hollis on the other end, Hannah knows it will be interesting.

So when Hollis calls and says he’s at a cabin in the woods with 1,000 dead bodies in it, Hannah isn’t surprised. Maybe she’s a little confused, and she’s definitely intrigued.

It turns out that only one of the dead bodies is human. The rest are ants, and it looks like these ants literally killed and skinned the dead body. And after doing a little research, it looks like the ants have been genetically engineered. All the genetic markers point to a company called Arca Labs.

Arca Labs is owned by Einar Geirsson. Einar is kind of like Elon Musk, except he is from Iceland instead of South Africa.

Einar wants to use his billions to save the world. But maybe not everything he is doing is for good. Maybe he’s genetically modifying ants for military purposes?

In order to find out, Hannah will have to travel to Einar’s top-secret headquarters on Kolohe Atoll, a couple hundred miles west of the main Hawaiian Islands.

WHEN HANNAH’S PHONE RINGS, AND IT’S HOLLIS ON THE OTHER END, HANNAH KNOWS IT WILL BE INTERESTING. And as Hannah investigates deeper into the work being done at the top secrets labs, she starts to see her own future. And it doesn’t look hopeful.

That title sounds like a bad sci-fi movie from the '80s. Anyway, in the near future where all the bad stuff like rising tides and massive income inequality are the norm, three people will have to come together to stop a powerful AI that hijacks peoples' memory implants. Yeah, that plot sounds like a bad sci-fi movie from the '80s, also.

One day, everyone lost their memories. People call it Day Zero, because it was like everyone was reset. The collapse of civilization was instantaneous, and the new leadership that arose was oppressive to say the least. But a man named Kayle starts to remember his son, so he sets out to find him and maybe the truth about Day Zero.

READY? SET? PLANT!

BY KYLE HALLBERG

May is a time of transition, especially in the garden. If you find it's still too cold to start yours, begin your plants indoors.

ËË LET’S GET ROLLING: Take used toilet paper rolls and fill them halfway with potting soil.

Place two or three seeds in each and fill to the top with soil.

By using toilet paper rolls, you're able to transfer the entire plant into a bigger, outdoor pot, or even the ground, without worrying about damage to the environment. The same components that make them biodegradable also allow for great water absorption. ËË EGG-CELLENT SEEDLINGS: No empty toilet paper rolls lying around? No problem! Carefully crack eggs into a bowl (you can freeze them and save them for later) leaving at least the top half in tact.

Put one spoonful of soil into the shell, along with two or three seeds.

Fill to the top with soil, and label the shell with a permanent marker.

When it's time to transfer, simply crack the shell and place the entire plant into the ground.

DR. RACHEL MK HEADLEY “My dad thought I should throw a match through the window, to be honest,” said DR. RACHEL MK HEADLEY. Headley, a scientist, author, speaker, and project leadership specialist had her (experienced) hands full. The entrepreneur, who owns COBBLESTONE SCIENCE, THE ROSE GROUP, PROJECT LEADERSHIP SECRETS, and more, had purchased a 1989 farmhouse in Spearfish that no one wanted to touch.

“I’ve talked to a million people that have said, ‘I would have loved to have done that, I just didn’t know where to start,’” she said with a smile.

And try they did. Headley said there had been four previous attempts by owners who started to remodel, and soon sold it.

“They just got in over their heads,” said Headley’s partner, JARED CAPP. Capp, who goes by “CAPPIE,” owns PANGEA DESIGN GROUP. When Headley purchased the house, she had only known Cappie from a few run-ins at concerts and around town. After “normal builders” would hardly speak to her after hearing of the house, she cold called him.

“I knew he built straw bale houses, so I knew he had done crazy [explicit] like that,” she laughed.

24 // MAY 2017

A

fter coming within $10,000 of each other on how much they thought it would take to bring the house back to life, it was a deal. Especially after it was deemed structurally sound.

Once they started demolition, crazy things started to happen.

“Through the tearing process, random humans would show up,” recalled Cappie. “One guy showed up with a giant envelope of original photographs and construction documents of the house – it was really neat.”

He continued, “[Another time] we were sheetrocking, and this guy – a cowboy in his 50s – pulls up in a truck with Wyoming plates and came in and told us this was his grandfather’s house.”

It was Edwin “Shock” Hall, the original owner of the home. Headley, who is fascinated by the home’s history, showed us envelopes full of photos, articles, and even the deed – which was signed by Hall's wife, Ida. “That never happened. Even in the 1950s you didn’t find women signing for property, and it was really unusual," said Headley. “So we don’t know what that was about.”

What they have heard are stories alleging that Hall was a trail boss down in New Castle, Wyo., and that he purchased the house because he was tired of traveling back and forth from there to a ranch in Spearfish, where he also worked.

“I MADE [THE PIG CUTTING BOARD] FOR MY GRANDFATHER WHEN I WAS IN SIXTH GRADE IN WOODSHOP. MY GRANDPA USED IT FOR YEARS, AND WHEN HE DIED IN ’95, I GOT IT BACK.” It was alleged as well that he had an affair with a teacher, whom Headley and Cappie think he ended up marrying after he and Ida divorced.

No wonder after all of the historical speculating that the pair was curious when the grandson walked up to them that afternoon. Cappie said, “I asked him about Ida, and he said, ‘Yeah, we know of her, but Grandma never talked about her.’”

Gossip aside, there were even more mysteries about the house, which is technically an American Foursquare.

These post-Victorian homes were built with four rooms on each floor.

“It’s pretty early in American Foursquare, so you can still see a little Victorian in the fancy porch,” said Headley, who rebuilt the porch like new from a photograph. “I chose a 1930s-era porch, because it suits my personality better. But it had an original two-story porch on it.”

THERE WAS ALMOST A MILE OF ORIGINAL TRIM THEY HAD TO STRIP, CLEAN, PROFESSIONALLY DIP, AND REAPPLY.

The more the nine-month remodel continued, the more they noticed strangely lavish details.

“The doorknobs, the face plates ... all are filigree red brass (or rose brass). They’re expensive.

They’re expensive now, I can’t imagine then,” said Cappie. “And Rachel went through all of them and disassembled all of the locksets, cleaned them, oiled them, and took Brasso with a Q-tip and a rag, and shined all of the brass back up to new.”

HEADLEY AND HER SISTER WERE GIFTED AN ART PIECE IN NAIROBI, KENYA WHEN SHE WORKED FOR THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME.

Headley says the house was built for servants, which is rare for the area. There was a servants’ quarters found in the backyard, which now only serves as Headley’s office.

Among other “fancy” details are double chimneys and double front doors. Headley did get rid of one of the front doors, which is one of the only original things she changed. Why two front doors?

“There are a lot of theories on that, but the most commonsensical one is that one was for company, and that parlor was the more formal room,” she said.

Other important changes included adding two new walls to create bathrooms. “They had no indoor plumbing,” said Headley.

After being unable to shut the pocket doors, they realized floor had been added on top of the original wooden layer. “That’s why there are a bunch of holes on the floor,” explained Headley.

“WOMEN HAVE LIVED HERE FOR MOST OF THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, WHETHER ALONE OR WITH ANOTHER PERSON, AND IT WAS SPECIAL THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I BOUGHT IT.”

THE STAIR BANISTER IS THE ONLY OAK IN THE HOUSE.

One of Cappie’s favorite highlights of the home is in the corner of the dining room, where a circular stain sits. The sheriff had informed them that it had once been the location of someone’s spittoon.

“He [said] he missed 90 percent of the time,” laughed Cappie. “That’s my favorite spot in the house, because it’s real.”

More and more stories were discovered during the build inside and outside of the house.

Cappie built a shelf that holds items found behind the wainscoting, in the basement, and all over the yard. Items include Valentines from the 1960s, an old Spearfish dairy bottle, mica that came from the original windows, recipes, and

the 1898 newspaper article that solidified it as one of the first homes of the area.

A touching item was a rocking chair that someone brought over that had been original to the house.

“Someone bought it at an auction, and found out Cappie was working on [the house],” said Headley.

“It was wrecked, so I refinished it,” he said. “That’s bison hide that a local guy put on. That was [Rachel's] housewarming gift.”

As you can tell from the opening, the two fell in love. It wasn’t until the house was completed, when Headley asked Cappie if he wanted to go to Belize to celebrate.

After they returned to their finished project as a couple, the people continued to show up.

“I WANTED A REALLY MODERN HOUSE, BUT WANTED TO RESPECT THE HISTORY, SO YOU’LL FIND A LOT OF MODERN MIXED WITH OLD STUFF.” Cappie recalled, “We were sitting on the porch in the summertime, and this woman pulls in the driveway – adorable, mid to late 80s. She walks up and introduces herself, and said she had spent her wedding night in this house.”

The pair let her take a walk around the house, and Headley says the memories flooded back with each step. As she lingered in the kitchen, she told them a story of burning her first meal there.

“You could see her almost transform into this 20-year-old, young woman,” said Headley.

Now settled in with her daughter, Alex, 8, Headley admits this isn’t their “forever home.”

But that’s never what it was intended to be.

“This house was really a project house,” she explained.

There are talks to build a straw bale house together on Cappie’s three acres, but not just yet.

For now Headley is enjoying the fruits of their labor.

“It’s so awesome to see how connected the community is to this house,” said Headley. “Every time I drive in, it makes me smile, because I knew what it used to be.”

GROWING INTO THE BUSINESS

BY NATALIE SLIETER

Heidi says she has worked at Cliff Hayley Ziegler and Heidi Teal are the owners of the two Cliff Avenue Avenue Greenhouse her whole life.

Greenhouse and Garden Centers in Sioux Falls. The sisters grew up with “I wonder what it’s like working the business and watched it move elsewhere?” questioned Heidi with from being in their backyard to a laugh. She doesn’t know any actual stores. Their parents, Dick and other way, but that’s okay with her.

They eventually moved this store to Heidi recalls customers knocking on 26th Street. They pruned it, watched their door when her parents were it grow, and opened the second still working out of their home, even location off 41st Street in 1992. when it was after business hours.

With the weather warming up, She says her parents were always the sisters are prepping for the friendly to them, but after a while, upcoming busy months of selling they needed to keep stricter hours. flowers and helping customers with their gardens and landscaping projects. Heidi manages the 26th Street location, and Hayley manages the 41st Street store.

They both worked up the ranks in the stores from assistant managers to managers, and now that their parents have passed away, they are the owners.

Before coming to work at the store, Hayley was a teacher for a few years after finishing school. But when her father opened the 41st Street store, she left teaching to become the store manager and has worked there ever since.

“It’s just in our blood,” said Hayley.

Since the sisters became owners and

Heidi says figuring out their client base has been important to how she and Hayley manage their stores. She says the 26th Street location has a well-established client base, and sees more people with some experience nurturing plants.

For Hayley, managing the 41st Street store means focusing more on building up the client base, as the store helps more young families

Hayley says growing up with the business meant working a lot, but when asked where her passion for the work came from, a few tears form in her eyes.

“Because of Mom and Dad,” said Hayley.

South Dakota in the Trees

BY ALANA SNYDER // ELIZABETH LUCILLE PHOTOGRAPHY

MACKENZIE HILL

W

hen you first approach Rushmore Tramway Adventures in Keystone, the Aerial Adventures Park suspended from the soaring pine trees is reminiscent of The Swiss Family Robinson and the Lost Boys village in Hook.

“People do compare us to [things like] that often,” said assistant general manager Ben Larson, as we looked up into the ropes courses.

BEN LARSON

The eight courses sprawl over two acres, involving 100 platforms and 11 ziplines. This is one of many additions that have been made in the last 15 years, when Mark and Vivian Fullerton purchased the business in 1999.

“The tramway was built in 1965, and it was just as a sightseeing trail; at the bottom there was a gift shop. It took you to the top of the mountain, and there were gardens,” described their son and operations manager, Cameron Fullerton. “Actually, originally, it was like a sculpture park. You could walk around, and there were heads of presidents and such that an artist did, so you could walk around the park and check those out and see Mount Rushmore across the valley.”

One of the biggest highlights of Rushmore Tramway Adventures is the incredible view of the national monument, which is only two miles away.

Cameron has been working there for 17 years and recalls the rough shape the business was in when ownership changed, including the

broken aforementioned sculptures. “[My parents] would have us all come up after school, and through the course of that winter, we revamped it. It was extremely rundown when we bought it, so we first redid the gift shop and painted the tramway cars,” he said. “Instead of being the continuous running chairlift that it is today, it was a tramway – so to speak – like enclosed cars. There were 16 of them.”

Finding the loading and unloading inefficient, another one of Mark’s first fixes after two years was to add a modern chairlift instead. They also built a restaurant (compared to a "burger shack") that is surrounded by flower beds, waterfalls, trails, and a deck with a lookout toward Mount Rushmore. Around that time, Mark built his “baby” – the Alpine Slide.

Now widely known as a popular attraction in the Black Hills, the 2,000-foot Alpine Slide has parallel tracks that are compared to bobsledding (“without the snow or cold”). The driver is in control of how fast or slow they ride down, with speeds topping out at 40 miles per hour.

“My dad did everything he could to make it the fastest, and it’s definitely one of the fastest in the country, for sure,” said Cameron. “If you want to go as slow as you can, it has the best safety equipment on it, and if you want to go as fast as you possibly can, he wants to give you that opportunity as well.”

The summit, which used to be able to run with three employees, blew up to needing 22, which “turned things on its head” in a good way. Soon, Mark got the itch to grow again after seeing the impact of the slide, and saw potential of Rushmore Tramway Adventures becoming bigger than he ever imagined.

“On my way out to college, my dad called and said, ‘Hey, I think I want to expand this thing further. Do you want to come back when you’re done?’” he recalled.” I said, ‘Yeah, sure!’ I was going to go be an accountant.”

They launched the Aerial Adventure Park in spring 2013. The park has courses ranging in difficulty levels, which are designated as yellow through black. That took the team to 60 people.

Cameron said, “We started as something that was fun as a family business, and then moved it into more or less the thing that people do in the Black Hills who are looking for something active.”

In 2015, Mark added courses to the Ariel Adventure Park and launched the Jump Tower, which is a 25-foot free-fall drop from a 60-foot-high plank.

“Between the expansions and what we’re doing with the zipline tour right now, we’re given the opportunity to build pretty much whatever we want,” he said.

The zipline tour is the newest addition opening June 1 and will be called the Pinnacle Zip Tour (named for where zipline two and three meet, with an “incredible” view of Mount Rushmore).

Professional guides will take participants on a two-hour experience through landscapes of the Black Hills, spanning over a mile of forest with five side-by-side ziplines.

This was a huge step for them, as they had to buy the land that would allow them to build their dream tour.

Starting with 16 acres, they had already extended to 25 acres, and now have acquired almost 100 acres.

“We had to jump hoops to get here,” explained Cameron.

Along with the sights, guides will also share historical info at stops.

For those who are leery with heights, the “trainer zipline” is shorter, so if customers are uncomfortable, they can change their minds.

Starting with the second zipline, you are 400 feet off the ground, and there’s no turning back. “You'd better be comfortable at that point in time,” laughed Cameron.

As many of the rides and courses involve heights, there are options for those who like to be closer to the ground. While many do so by hiking, or simply enjoying the view with a beer in hand at the restaurant, the Rushmore Tramway Adventures team has witnessed attendees too nervous to get up the summit.

“Even the chairlift pushes some people’s boundaries. I’ll have some people get to the top and say, ‘I can’t do that.’ I’ll ask if they want to take the chairlift back down. ‘No.’ I’ll suggest the slide. ‘No, I don’t want to be scared,’” recalled Cameron. “But the thing with the slide is, you completely dictate your pace, so we can put them in the slow lane, and they can go as slow as they want.”

As the group prepares as best as they can for opening weekend May 6 and 7, they’re really ramping up for the reveal of their zipline tour and tourist season in general.

“It’s so insane here in the summertime. I could lay in the middle of Main Street [in Keystone], because there’s not enough traffic to worry about someone hitting you,” he said. “There are about 10,000 people that come through town in a day, if not more.

We’ll sell about 3,500 rides.”

As it’s first come, first serve, make sure to get there early to allot for time. Most attractions can hold from 50 to 250 lbs. (the Pinnacle Zip Tour holds up to 285 lbs.).

With family, friends, or solo, the team is ready for another year of pushing the limits and getting people outside to see the state in a unique way.

“We’re willing to offer the attractions that you can’t get elsewhere, because other people aren’t willing to deal with the risk,” said Cameron. “That’s what we are; a place to come and be active.”

>> PEDALING AROUND TOWN

by Kelly Nelson

IN THE WARMER MONTHS OF THE YEAR, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED A NEW MODE OF TRANSPORTATION CLAIMING ITS SPOT ALONG THE BUSTLING STREETS OF DOWNTOWN SIOUX FALLS AND RAPID CITY. AT FIVE MILES PER HOUR, THIS GROUP-PROPELLED VEHICLE TOURS THE AREA, ALL WHILE PASSENGERS HAVE A DRINK IN HAND. STEERED

BY A SOBER HOST, THE SIP-N-CYCLE IN SIOUX FALLS AND THE BLACK HILLS PARTY PEDALER IN RAPID CITY HAVE BEEN JAMMING TO MUSIC AND CREATING A TRANSPORTABLE OUTDOOR PARTY SINCE THE FIRST SOUTH DAKOTA "PEDAL PUB" STARTED THREE YEARS AGO.

According to pedalpubpartybikes. com, the idea of the pedal pub originated in 1997 by brothers Henk and Zwier Van Laar of the Netherlands. The “Fietscafe” translated to English is “bike cafe.” The brothers have been manufacturing and distributing the bike ever since.

It first crossed United States soil when a photo of the Fietscafe caught the eyes of two friends, Eric Olson and Al Boyce of the Twin Cities in 2007. Purchasing a bike from the Van Laar brothers and trademarking the brand “PedalPub,” Olson and Boyce can claim themselves as the “first and oldest party bike business in the United States.”

The trend made its way to Sioux Falls in 2014, as three friends, Brian Anderson, Patrick Jones, and Matt Aanenson, who met on deployment in Afghanistan, saw the original PedalPub in the Twin Cities and were inspired to bring 40 // MAY 2017

the idea to Sioux Falls. Licensing their party bike through the PedalPub trademark, the Sioux Falls Sip-N-Cycle was born.

“It gives people something different to do, it brings people together and gives them a chance to see our growing downtown and our great local establishments,” said Anderson.

Perfect for a multitude of special celebrations, or simply a fun night out, the Sip-N-Cycle highlights special events with the enjoyment of the outdoor weather and good company.

“There was one gal last year, she was starting a new department at her work, and she used a deck of cards for an activity that had people rotating spots. So based upon the card they drew, they rotated seats and got to meet as many people as possible,” said Anderson, recalling unique ways people have utilized the bike.

“There was a rider celebrating his 85th birthday,” said Anderson. “He rode on the back and loved it. I’ve even seen people pedaling in their 70s!”

Black Hills Party Pedaler started a year ago by the Soriano family.

With the ever-growing brewery scene, they plan to start a brewery tour to allow tourists and locals to go to tastings and not worry about driving. They also are having a costume contest this season.

"We want to have a costume contest,and invite groups to dress in a theme," said co-owner Gina Edwards. "We'll take photos and put them on our Facebook page, and whoever gets the most likes will win a free tour."

They have an assist, so pedaling isn't as much of a chore if attendees get tired, and to help with larger hills. Sip-N-Cyle plans to add an assist this month. The best part about these tours, both

businesses agree, is that the tour is whatever the group wants it to be.

“We design the tour with the person that rents the bike; we take them on a comprehensive tour of the downtown area, based upon the kind of experience and drinks they want. Whether it’s craft beer or what, the person renting the bike gets to choose,” said Anderson. “Some groups stop once or three times, some groups do the traditional pub crawl, and some never stop unless they need to use the restroom or stretch their legs.”

The best part, says co-owner of BHPP John Soriano, is that the entire community interacts.

He said, "One of the coolest things is when we're downtown, and spectators start dancing with us and get involved even when they're not doing it."

“I am very picky about people and my beer.”

— Shelby Lynne Main Steet Tacos

Brick House Shirley

I’m a former (or lifelong) Coyote, and knew of the downtown Vermillion building as Raziel’s, which was an Italian restaurant/bar that hosted music and was known for their adorable patio. Now it is home to Dakota Brick House.

42 // MAY 2017

When we found out the owners of Café Brulé, Jim Waters (also the chef) and Monica Iverson, were opening a gastropub, we had to check it out. If you’ve never been to the American-French influenced restaurant, do it.

But I digress…

As we waited for the doors to open (currently it’s open 5 p.m. – midnight, but that will change), a man approached us in shorts, a tiedye shirt, a beanie hat, and no shoes on. “Are you guys here for psychology club, too?” he asked. Bless Vermillion – I was home.

We walked in, and it was apparent Waters and Iverson completely changed the atmosphere (minus the piano wall with a sheet music collage). They uncovered an amazing exposedbrick wall that still had an advertisement intact on it from who knows when, and they (pretty flawlessly) painted the finished ad message and faux brick on the men’s room wall.

The owners – especially Iverson – are so passionate about the history of the building that they have handouts explaining the building’s past and detailing the renovations.

This is where we discovered that the wire light fixtures were actually made by the owners, taking light fixtures and placing items like wire spheres and trash cans around them. They lent a steampunk vibe, which was complemented with dark wood and copper details throughout the restaurant.

Our main server was Josh, the manager. His passion was obviously beer. Dakota Brick House has one of the largest (if not the largest) selections of craft beer in town. There are 16 featured beers a week, and this week had the Epic Blackout Stout. When we asked what we should drink, he said many tried the Brick House Bomb, which he compared to an Irish

Car Bomb… except the Epic Blackout Stout it came with is 18 ABV. Not planning on poisoning ourselves (sarcasm) since we had to drive home, we ordered a Margarita and a Brick House Shirley, which were wine-based since they don’t have liquor. Honestly, they were both tasty and satisfactory for what they were. I would go for the beer, though, as it’s their thing, but I appreciate other options for those who aren’t beer lovers.

We also sipped on a flight of beer: Black Tooth Saddle Brown, B. Nektar Zombie Killer, Shock Top Ruby Fresh, and Brau Brothers Bancreagie. They were delicious and were very generous pours. It was also notable that the B. Nektar Zombie Killer was gluten free and made with mead.

We were instructed that we could go to the app DigitalPour to see where a keg was sitting with beer, and which kegs were on deck for becoming available, which is cool. You can also view the beer menu on their flat screen TVs. When it came to trying the food, my co-worker and I feasted.

Let’s get right to the Big A*!# Pretzel. I never get pretzels anywhere – I have no desire. Then this 24-ounce beauty came into my life. It was baked fresh and was so soft when you bit into it. Served with Brick House Relish, beer cheese sauce, and rosemary mustard, there was a wide variety of flavors to try. The other dips were dead to me after I tried the beer cheese sauce. If we didn’t have all the food on the table, I would have finished the pretzel with that unavoidable sauce temptress.

The Main Street Tacos were up next, and the first one I tried was my favorite. The Pork Taco was like the street taco you dream of getting when you’re at a taco truck, and you’re starving. The salsa verde sauce, cojita cheese, black bean relish, and pickled onion were also on the chicken option. The Chicken Taco was a close second, and the Beef Taco was okay with cojiita cheese, Asian slaw, fresh cilantro,

ADC_605_5_17.pdf 1 4/20/2017 3:57:35 PM

and chili crema. My co-worker really enjoyed the Shrimp Taco with cojita cheese, apple-cider slaw, fresh cilantro, and topped with spicy sriracha-aioli cream sauce (she noted the creamy sauce was light, and the beer-battered shrimp was “just the right crispy”). Next time I’m ordering an entire basket of pork. I’m not ashamed.

Next on our pillage were Brick Sliders, served with Original Brick House Chips (so fresh and crunchy). My co-worker raved about the Chicken Littles, which was country-fried chicken with American cheese, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and honey mustard.

My favorite was the Brick House Bites, which was a Brick House grind patty, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cottage bacon, topped with special Brick Sauce. Did I mention it’s on a pretzel bun?

The bacon on the hamburger was cooked to perfection. The third slider was Jack & the Bean, a house-pattied black bean patty with Monterey jack, roma tomato, pickled onion, avocado, and sriracha aioli. It was a good option for vegetarians, but it wasn’t my cup of tea.

It seems backwards, but I’ll end with the Chorizo Queso Skillet Dip. Let’s just say my co-worker blocked the queso with a wall with her glasses to make sure she would notice if the servers tried to take it away.

The dip, served in a hot skillet, had cheese baked on top of a cheese/ refried bean dip blend inside. Sliced avocado sat atop the cheese in the middle, and we were excited to find black olives in the bean dip (the small things in life, right?).

C

Bottom line: We left waddling out of the place, and I can’t wait to go back and try their full menu when they expand their hours. Towns need people like Waters and Iverson, who are bringing innovative and fresh ideas to their community.

It felt super fresh, and reminded me of a London pub with a steampunk feel. Definitely gets you in mood for brews and (classy) bar grub.

SERVICE Everyone was super attentive and were very excited about the beer and menu items. You could probably talk beer with Josh all day.

TASTE I’ve never liked a pretzel like that. Ever. I still think about that beer cheese dip…

IT’S THE FACTS

»»

Patrons can enjoy open piano night every Tuesday beginning at 6 p.m.

Dakota Brick House is located in one of the oldest buildings in downtown Vermillion that didn't burn in one of the fires. It was estimated that it was built between 1880-1894 and is a "mystery building," as no one knows why it was built and who originally owned it.

JUSTIN REGAN

BY KARI CARDA

AGE: 28 // HOMETOWN: STURGIS, S.D. // SPECIALITY: BARNWOOD CREATIONS

JUSTIN REGAN is a husband, lover of the outdoors, and a talented craftsman. In November 2016, with the support of his wife, Jacey, Justin walked away from a full-time career to follow his heart. The result was BLACK HILLS BARNWOOD CREATIONS, a business Justin now owns and operates, constructing custom creations out of reclaimed barn wood.

Your business is called Black Hills Barnwood Creations. Does all the barn wood you use come from the Black Hills?

Justin Regan: It’s more like everything is created in the Black Hills. Last summer, I got wood from a barn in Eureka. If there is wood that is aged and has character, I will save it or reclaim it — no matter where it is from.

When did you fall in love with this craft?

JR: 4 or 5 years ago, a barn fell down on my Grandpa’s property. It was built in the 1890’s, and my wife wanted a coffee table. The wood from the barn was what I had to make her one. I really enjoyed creating it, and I got a lot of positive feedback. That’s when Barnwood Creations started developing.

Do you fill custom orders for people?

JR: Yes, it’s almost all custom orders. Anything from coffee tables to farmhouse tables to end tables. I just did an order for some barn wood 46 // MAY 2017

"I USE OLD TOOLS WHEN I CAN, AS WELL. I JUST LIKE OLD STUFF, AND I LIKE TO USE THE STUFF THEY MIGHT HAVE USED WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THE BARN WAY BACK IN THE DAY.” trophies and picture frames, and I’m currently working on barn doors for two different homes. I also create wall art pieces, which is something I’d like to do more of.

How do you find the wood?

JR: Mainly people have reached out to me. It’s usually one of three things: It’s an eyesore, they have kids running around and it becomes a safety hazard, or they’re paying property taxes on it and want it gone. If they’re going to burn it or bury it, people give me a call first.

What’s your favorite part about the creative process?

JR: When I first started, I didn’t have a shed or a garage. We lived on Magic Canyon Road, and I built my first shop out of a carport wrapped in banners from Eagle Sales. I’d wake up, go outside, and have my coffee. The birds would be chirping, and the sawdust would be flying.

That is my quintessential morning. Fresh air, sawdust, and coffee.

Each piece has a story. What story means the most to you?

JR: There was a Chevy bench I made. It’s a bench, but the back is an old Chevy tailgate. The front board came out of the barn on my grandpa’s property. The barn used to be a blacksmith shop, so when the guy would make his branding irons, he would brand the board above his workbench. The front board was that board with all these branding marks. It’s my favorite, because it came off my family’s property, but also because it is so unique. You’ll never see anything like that again.

What have you learned from starting this business?

JR: I went to college at Black Hills State University to get a business degree and hopefully get some big business job. I had a great career at Eagle Sales (now Quality Brands Distribution), and then I just go and quit my job. But I asked myself, “What would you do if you know you couldn’t fail?” This is it. I took a leap and followed my heart; I hope to inspire others to do the same.

L I T T LE PA R E N T ON T H E PR A I R I E

>> AM I.... FAT? “MOMMY, WHAT DOES 'FAT' MEAN?” I was walking up the stairs — embarrassingly out of breath — carrying my son, when my daughter shouted the pensive question from the bottom of the stairs.

“What?!” I asked, taken aback. We had just gotten done playing legos, jumping on a trampoline, playing house and generally destroying the play room. Where did this come from? We don’t even use the words fat and skinny around her, so this question felt deep left field.

“What does FAT mean?” She repeated. “And, Mommy … am I fat?”

I had just arrived at the top of the stairs, and suddenly felt like I was going to fall back and topple right back on down them. I couldn’t believe the innocent, searching words I was just served up by my 5-year-old daughter, and knew I needed to catch my breath and focus.

"Don’t be an idiot, Tracy," one side of my brain said.

"Don’t make this a big deal or an after-school special, 48 // MAY 2017

BY TRACY KIRBY // CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

she’s only 5. Just breeze past it." But the other side of my brain, the brain that is always looking for those pure gold teaching moments said, "Take your time with this one. Talk it through."

For many mothers or even fathers, this type of conversation might not cause any triggers at all. Perhaps they’ve always had healthy role models, never saw food as the enemy, have always exercised in moderation for health benefits only, and maybe even have the metabolism of the likes of Jesus. (If this is you, I hope you’re eating a deep personal pan pepperoni pizza RIGHT NOW).

Whatever the case, body image, eating, or self confidence have never really been a hang-up to them. And then there are some people that have visited the other camp. The camp that has, in fact, experienced some sort of distorted idea of themselves and perhaps tried to compensate for it via eating, not eating, exercising, and/or everything in-between.

I'm a woman that has visited that other camp.

I had just graduated college in Southern California, and I was living in Los Angeles at the

time. All around me eating disorders ran rampant.

So rampant, in fact, I didn’t even notice when it was happening around me anymore. It was said that one in three women at my college had some shape or form of a disorder, and I had just grown eerily accustomed to it. Whenever I heard about an eating disorder, I just didn’t understand it at all and went back to eating my waffle. (I know, I was super compassionate back then.)

Then, I remember the exact moment I, myself, started thinking about calories and as it related to my self-confidence. I was sitting at an amazing Mexican food joint in West Hollywood, and all our orders came out at the same time. I looked across the table, and all of my girlfriends had ordered salads; dressing on the side, no cheese, hold the tortilla strips. Basically, you know, prison food. I looked down at my plate, and there sat the most beautiful, giant enchilada topped with a dazzling layer of cheese, smothered in some sort of enchanting hot cream sauce with a side of glorious rice. Basically, you know, heaven. I picked up my fork to dive in, and out of nowhere, I was suddenly self-conscious. I felt guilty, even. And, in

that moment, I allowed a sneaky lie from hell to creep into my soul and firmly plant itself: "You're not beautiful if you eat that," it whispered. And I listened. I scraped the cream and cheese off, peeled back the tortilla, and sadly ate just the chicken. And that’s how it all began. I still think about the tragedy of wasting that beautiful enchilada to this day.

After that moment, I found myself planning what I was going to eat days beforehand, scouring menus before I went to a restaurant.

Always counting calories. Working out at all hours of the day. It became a sort of game, until, of course, it wasn’t anymore. After a while, I began avoiding places where I didn’t have control over what was going to be served. I had “safe foods” and “safe restaurants,” where I would order the same thing over and over. The “game” of counting calories and burning them off began to consume my life. At one point I looked in the mirror and couldn’t remember a time where I wasn’t thinking about calories, exercising, and the number on the scale. It was owning me. Food became my enemy, and I could barely recognize myself.

Long story short, for more reasons than one, I

had to get out of L.A. So, I did what everyone should do in their 20s: I moved to Colorado. It was there that I began to find healing from my very unhealthy thought patterns and habits.

In Colorado, I found myself surrounded by healthy people with healthy habits. Everyone I met there ate carbs?! We hiked, skied, biked, ran, and laughed, not to hastily, erratically burn calories, but for fun?! I did some counseling. I played in the healing shadow of the mountains.

I prayed a lot. I admitted my struggle to a few close friends and family, and one day, months and months later, I noticed my thoughts were clear. I found joy in eating healthy, nutrient rich foods and also found joy in eating tacos and donuts. I found a beautiful balance. I couldn’t believe it — I was completely free — and it was only then did I really realize the true weight of the bondage I had been carrying.

Fast forward almost 10 years later, and there I was staring my beautiful 5-year-old daughter in the face as she asks me the meaning of “fat.” I am so thankful, because I know I’m prepared for this moment. I’m ready to tell her what “fat” means, but as I opened my mouth to talk, she interrupts me.

“Mommy, like, P-H, phat! That phat? Like what Lady Glitter Sparkles calls King Gristle in the movie Trolls?”

I laughed and quickly told her that “P-H, phat” means “super groovy” or “super cool.”

(Obviously, I am so HIP. Also, when did I turn 70-years-old with this vernacular?). She gave me a weird look and said, “Ohhhhh, PHAT!” And off she ran …

“But wait! There is another kind of faaaaa …” I trailed off as she disappeared.

Dangit! I was so ready. I was ready to tell her how perfect her body is; how God created her legs to run and jump and explore, how He created her mouth to speak and sing beautiful love into the world, how her arms are the perfect shape and size to give great big bear hugs, how the food she eats fuels her body to go change the world around her. I was so ready to tell her all of it. But, I smiled as I realized ... there’s so much time to tell her; so much time to show her.

So, I guess I’m off the hook … for now. I guess I’ll just save my after school special for another day, or I guess, for this column.

ASK T H E JO H N S

YES, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS ARE NAMED JOHN. YES, IT WAS A POPULAR NAME IN THE ‘80S. THE IDENTITIES OF THESE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JOHNS? SHOOT AN E-MAIL THEIR WAY AT THEJOHNS@605MAGAZINE.COM.

My brother just started dating this new girl, who none of us have ever met. She seems to keep him to herself, and he is starting to miss family gatherings. What do we say to him without hurting his feelings?

JR: Young love can be fickle.

You need to let them blossom before interfering. Once in full bloom, slap the girlfriend with a heavy dose of reality.

JW: For a detailed plan of action, please refer to South Park season 3, episode 3: "The Succubus."

JT: Ask him if there is something someone did or something anyone can do to make her feel more comfortable. Maybe see what hobbies she enjoys, and try to engage in that. The most important question, though... is she real?

I went to a restaurant the other day, and the server was terrible. He spilled wine on me and messed up our orders. When I told my friend I wasn’t going to tip, she made me feel heartless, so I ended up giving 20 percent.

What would have been the smart thing to do in this situation?

JR: I once went to a restaurant and was literally served dirty dish water. Being a polite Midwesterner, I asked if the water was “flavored.” I still tipped 20 percent.

JW: Under tip, write exactly this: "nah, brah -15 percent." Then, on the total line, subtract 15 percent from the bill.

JT: Honestly, you did the right thing. You don't know what kind of day they had, or maybe you were their "off table." They'll remember your tip, and probably really appreciated it after all of that.

I work full time, but I really want to get outside more to enjoy the beautiful weather.

What are some ways to enjoy the outdoors without compromising my work schedule?

JR: You gotta make that Vitamin D a priority. Bike to work, eat lunch outside. Heck, take up smoking if you have to. Whatever it takes, get out in the sun.

JW: You could try to get arrested, and be placed on one of those side of the highway work crews. Be careful that you don't end up in prison - gen-pop is no place to see trees and rolling hills.

Maybe just work in more hikes on your weekends. Yeah, do that instead. Forget the first idea.

JT: Eat outside for lunch on workdays. If you can't, go for a walk after 5 p.m. or grill dinner.

Why do you need tips on getting outside, anyways? Is this a vampire we're talking to?

DISCLAIMER: ASK THE JOHNS IS A SARCASTIC PIECE. THEIR ADVICE IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY… EXCEPT MAYBE JOHN T’S.

POINTERS FOR PEARLY WHITES IT’S SOMETHING MANY ARE SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT – TEETH. IT’S YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION, AND MANY FEAR THAT IF THEIR TEETH ARE DISCOLORED, IT COULD APPEAR THEY DON’T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. ACCORDING TO DRAXE.COM, ABOUT 18 PERCENT OF US CONCEAL OUR TEETH IN PHOTOS. WHILE YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR DENTIST, HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE. WHITENING AT THE DENTIST. There are typically two ways to whiten teeth with your dentist: in-office and at-home whitening.

Office whitening consists of a high concentration bleaching gel, and sometimes uses a Diode laser to assist. This type of whitening can result in sensitivity, but also has quicker results. In-office also tends to cost more for the dentist’s time.

At-home whitening involves taking a set of upper and lower impressions to fabricate custom trays for your mouth. The patient is sent home with athome whitening solutions, along with necessary instructions.

WHITENING AT HOME. The whitening strips aisle seems to get bigger every year, and dentists like Dr. Matt Krivarchka of Today’s Family Dentistry recommend them if their solutions aren’t for you. Other ways to work towards whitening your teeth at home:

60 // MAY 2017

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR – Acetic acid, which is the main active ingredient, effectively kills bacteria. This makes it useful for cleaning your mouth and whitening your teeth when you gargle it.

BAKING SODA – Use it just as you would toothpaste once a week. Be sure to spit it out, though.

“GO WHITE” DIET – You know the drill.

Avoid your intake of red wine, tobacco, colas, gravies, and dark juices. When you indulge, brush your teeth immediately after. Take a break from these items to see how it affects (or improves) your smile.

“DETERGENT” FOODS – Foods that are firm and crisp help clean teeth as they’re eaten. These include raw carrots, celery, and popcorn. For the best use, eat these foods last if they’re part of a snack or meal.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WHITEN? This depends on if it is the initial therapy (just starting the whitening process) or is maintenance of the shade you have whitened your teeth to. According to Dr. Krivarchka, “The initial therapy with take-home tray whitening varies for everyone, but usually takes 7-10 days.

Typically, after your target shade has

been met, we recommend touchups as needed, which on average is every six months or so.”

WHEN SHOULD YOU NOT WHITEN YOUR TEETH? Dr. Krivarchka says a sign that you are not a good candidate are patients with multiple crowns and/or fillings on their front teeth. “These crowns or fillings will not whiten like your natural teeth,” he warned.

THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS? When it comes to teeth whitening, the most common side effect is sensitivity. “Every person will differ in this aspect, so it’s important to start your whitening process slowly to gauge how much sensitivity you may have,” said Dr. Krivarchka.

HOW OFTEN IS TOO OFTEN TO WHITEN? Only whiten when necessary.

Signs you’re whitening too much are: sensitivity to cold, inflamed and bleeding gums, or teeth appearing transparent around edges.

▶▶ HARNEY PEAK TRAIL NORTH TRAIL (TRAIL #9), 4.7 MILES TO SUMMIT SOUTH TRAIL (TRAIL #9), 3.8 MILES TO SUMMIT To reach the highest natural point in South Dakota, Black Elk Peak, one will hike through the Harney Peak Trail system. Not only is the trail challenging, but it provides breathtaking experiences for outdoor enthusiasts.

▶▶ GOOD EARTH STATE PARK APPROX. 6.22 MILE TRAIL SYSTEM Located just southeast of Sioux Falls, Good Earth State Park not only boasts plenty of outdoor beauty in the form of wildlife, pipestone, and running water, but also marks one of the oldest sites of long-term human habitation—serving as the largest Oneota cultural site discovered to date in the Upper Midwest.

▶▶ DEVIL’S BATHTUB APPROX. 1 MILE TRAIL ROUND TRIP Whether you’re young or old, hiking through Spearfish Canyon’s Devil’s Bathtub will no doubt be a memorable experience.
