Really, it is to observe and bring joy to their practice. It’s easy to teach those who know the practice, what moves are coming. The reward comes when you teach those on the margins – those who are not comfortable in their skin. You make them realize how easy it is for them, and they get that ‘Aha’ moment. That is what makes it all worth it. Those are the moments that are fun.” There is an old adage that states practice makes perfect. Strebe’s ideas about perfection seem to work best because they allow for and even expect they inevitable flaws we all have. Strebe believes only perfect practice makes perfect, within. “I like to teach people to find the place they want to be”, Strebe says. “Whether it is the ease they find, or the relaxation of muscles or the inner calm when they finish their session. They leave the studio and find that people are more kind, and they wonder did every one change, or did I change? It’s great when they get rid of all the garbage in their lives”.

The Starving Rooster in Minot.

Crowing About Growing by Caroline Crary | photos courtesy of Chris Hawley Architects

nother Bismarck Chris Hawley Architects project on the horizon is The Starving Rooster. The new restaurant will

be opening its doors downtown next spring, with construction on the site beginning this fall. The original Rooster is in Minot. The four couples that own the place have decided a sister restaurant will spread its wings and settle into a Bismarck nest. The new similarly themed eatery will be located in the Becker Building on main next to Terra Nomad. The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique name has an equally unique story behind it. The original Starving Rooster in Minot is located in an old tractor company building. The company, Altman and Taylor Tractor Company, used the starving rooster logo for a threshing

BISMARCK MAGAZINE | JULY-AUGUST 2016

machine because they claimed their tractor was the highest of quality and didn’t drop any grain. Therefore, the rooster had nothing to eat. The owners have taken this history and built it into a restaurant, repurposing nearly all of the materials from the original building leaving the vibe of the restaurant an industrial aesthetic. According to Hawley, the Bismarck location will have to create this environment, as the Becker Building does not possess these design elements. “The intention is to pull some local Bismarck farming history into it as well as extend the tap design from Minot beyond the ‘old warehouse’ aesthetic and align it closer to the ‘farmyard’ auger and grain silo. For instance instead of pumping beer through a boiler pipe, we will be augering the beer like you would from a silo to a grain truck,” says Hawley. The Starving Rooster is known for amazing brick oven pizzas and flatbread. They have rotating lunch combos every weekday, and brunch every Sunday. It’s the kind of fare and cultural aesthetic that offers an anticipatory strut toward which an eager community is sure to flock.

esidents of Bismarck often rely on landmarks that can easily replace our distracting cell phone navigation

systems. A few of these landmarks, such as the Capitol Building, the Missouri River, blue lights of Sanford Health, the Civic Center, and the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit are immediately recognizable and prominent features of our hometown. If some day a drive toward the Cethedral of the Holy Spirit arises, pay attention to the surrounding area of the Cathedral itself. Notice how the majority of the houses seem to have a bit of a different style of architecture compared to the conventional and more contemporary homes of the new millennium. Close to 50 of the homes in the Cathedral District, once nicknamed “The Hill,” were built after the turn of the 20th century and are entered in the National Historic Register. The product of three phases of construction, the homes on the Hill served as a sort of poster for what it was like to actually live in the wild prairie¬town of Bismarck. It seemed to work, being that North Dakota’s population doubled in size from1900 to 1940. The architectural styles along avenues A, B, and C hearken back to different eras and geographies ranging from American Gothic to Southern Colonial; each are complete with individual creaks of character and squeaks of sentiment. One such home, is a Colonial Revival at 219 West Avenue B. Upon first glance, 219 appears as a house of simple stature tucked back in the elm trees of Avenue B. The home was originally built by Dr. Leonard Larson in 1938. Larson, North Dakota’s first practicing pathologist, made the cover of Time Magazine on July 7, 1961 for his opinions and expertise on Medicare. As president of the American Medical Association, Dr. Larson’s voice rang loudly, even in the ears of President Kennedy, with whom Dr. Larson argued over the subject. Larson sold his home to Roger Berg, who added significant changes to Larson’s original home. Dr. Berg’s ownership of the home made for some interesting additions including a large indoor swimming pool, an elevator, and a vault. The pool, after dutifully serving Dr. Berg and bringing joy to kids around the neighborhood for many years, fell into disrepair and was removed in 2011. It now has been converted to a family

24 BISMARCK MAGAZINE | JULY-AUGUST 2016

As a youngster, the process of getting the things we wanted was a blur, and in our childhood ignorance, we didn’t think about the process. It wasn’t needed. That was what parents were for. As we grow and mature though, so do our preferences. Fireman’s poles turn into Persian rugs. Bowling alleys turn into rough-cut pine floors. Pink and princess everything turns into Egyptian cotton sheets. Now recall the interior of that imagined childhood home. It probably lacked trampolines for floors, but what it didn’t lack was its own personality and appearance. In other words, the way the pillows were arranged, the color of the paint on the walls, and the texture of the drapes were all pre-meditated. As it turns out, there are folks who make those decisions for a living. One such designer is Mary Richholt from Interiors by France, a home furnishing and interior design studio in Bismarck. A 31-year veteran in the business and a Bismarck native, she was gracious enough to shed some light on the process of renovating a humble abode into a home with a sense of style. In this particular home, located on Highland Acres Road, Mary was asked to spearhead the designing effort in the kitchen and powder bathroom, and spoke to us about the process of personalizing homes. With keeping the client’s needs and desires in the forefront of her decision-making, she enlisted the help of Hopfauf Custom Builders to do the teardowns and rebuilds, as well as the cabinet makers at Leingang Cabinets to make sure that all renovations emphasize and foster the character of the home itself. According to Richholt, one of the most important things about interior design is knowing your client. Knowing the tastes, wishes and desires of the client, she says, are the priority when designing a new home. After all, they are the ones who have to live with the decisions being made. From floor to ceiling, nearly every feature was discussed.

Smack dab in the heart of the city, Broadway Centre residents have super convenient opportunities to build healthy, consistent, close-up relationships with their best selves. Conversations with Broadway Centre residents suggest that if anyplace in Bismarck has it all, these swanky condos do. Starting from the ground up, tenants of the building have parking spots for two vehicles as well as their own storage space, making the trick to starting the car in winter extremely manageable. The Broadway Centre Spa and Salon as well as the Broadway Bar are on the entry level. “It makes for an easy meal at the end of a long day,” one neighborly fellow remarked. “If I need to, I can just get my food to go.” Along with the convenience of the salon, spa and restaurant, a gym for all of the residents is on the third floor, complete with treadmills, stationary bikes, free weights and a sauna. While each condo boasts ample space, if at any point a tenant feels too cramped, A community room is available for larger gatherings and extra entertainment options.

The walkway to Sprynczynatyk’s home features an incredible art display in front. From sculptures to paintings to chalk drawings, he has transformed his home at the corner of 13th streeet and boulevard into an outdoor gallery. But of course the art doesn’t stop there. The front porch entrance with the sweet aromas of burning incense captivate the senses and pull guests further into his home gallery and studio. From there, multiple paintings, sculptures on end tables instantly pop into view. The paints, brushes and utensils sprawled across desks seem meticulously placed with specific intent. At the far corner of this house studio sits self taught artist Richard Sprynczynatyk intently working his next masterpieces. A Bismarck native, Sprynczynatyk is a true artistic genius with a resume to prove it. From projects in Ceasar’s Palace and the Venetian in Las Vegas, to the Venetian Resort Casino/Hotel in China, he has taken his talent all around the world. Sprynczynatyk has traveled for over 23 years, providing his unique skill set for millions of people to view and appreciate. Yet, when asked about the project of which he’s most proud or his favorite creation, Sprynczynatck smiles and says, “Without a doubt, my kids.” To stave off the starving artists stereotype, Sprynczynatyk has not always had the luxury of working solely on art.

Purchase a cardio machine? Wait. First take a moment to ask “will I actually use it?” Don’t buy a treadmill if running is a dreaded activity! So many other techniques can save big chunks of space and money. Think, athome workout videos. Think something as simple as a step platforms. A step platform has a lot of uses from getting your heart rate up to strengthening your legs.

BackyardDream

Various levels of decks with outdoor seating face the Missouri River and come with their own basketball court, fire pit, and dock.

by Caroline Crary photos: Glasser Images

ummer is precious in the Bismarck area. We set up the perfect spaces to carry some of our inside world to the

beautifully landscaped outdoors to enjoy our time in the sun. Backyard dreaming is easier to realize with inspiration from our Missouri River neighbor. The possibilities are truly endless. A basketball court for some games of one on one? Boat access for cruising all weekend long up and down the river and into the bays? Multi level decks to barbeque and entertain with family and friends? Unforgettable landscaping with room for a garden? Or rather overlooking the Missouri River Valley with sunset views, while roasting s’mores around the fire pit with neighbors? This Mandan home has it all. It includes a perfectly laid out seating area with fire pit and brightly-colored adirondak chairs. Also the choice of sitting on multiple deck levels with super comfortable seating that provide the best summer tan in the most relaxing way possible (see our “tanning oil” story on page 49). Also its very own basketball court complete with the image of the sun on the court and a spotlight for late-night tournaments. And finally, a front-row-seat to the mighty Missouri with its own boat dock and small patch of sand for a rare North Dakota beach experience. As if this home couldn’t stand out based on its gorgeous backyard alone, it also boasts the title of North Dakota’s most expensive home with a price tag of $2.78 million. Don’t have $2.78 million to drop on a new house? Draw some inspiration from this one and create the back yard of your deams.

The Mandan Rodeo Days Celebration is a three-day event starting July 2 and ending with the biggest fireworks show around on Monday, July 4. The Mandan Rodeo Days offers three action-packed professional rodeo performances. Besides the PRCA rodeos, the city puts together Art In the Park, concerts, multiple nights of dancing, car parades and even a stiletto diva dash, along with American Legion baseball. Tradition since 1881, the Mandan Independence Day parade starts at 10:45 a.m. on the 4th. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade theme is Stars, Stripes and the Sounds of Freedom. The parade is featuring more than 160 units, horses, wagons, marching bands, floats, antique cars and tractors. The festival is the biggest and best Fourth of July parade and fireworks celebration out of all three cities. Fireworks commence at 11:00 p.m. on the night of the 4th! For a full schedule visit: www.mandanrodeo.com Mandan allows the public to light fireworks on July 2 and 3 from the hours of noon to midnight, July 4 from noon through 2 a.m. on July 5. Bottle rockets are banned.

Summer is back in full swing! Use this tanning oil with natural oils that nourish and offer a little protection for your skin without blocking Vitamin D to get your summer tan on. Avocado, coconut, and rice bran oil all have natural SPF of 4-15. Walnut oil has been shown to act as a self-tanning sunscreen agent. Are you a little more fair skinned? Consider adding

Julie s â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Homemade Tanning Oil

2 oz. Rice bran oil 2 oz. Avacodo oil 2 oz. Walnut oil 2 oz. Coconut oil

rasperry seed oil or carrot seed oil which have an SPF range of 25-50. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better, more natural way to make the best of all our North Dakota sunshine! Keep in mind that the ingredients in this tanning oil are all low-SPF and not a substitute for sunscreen.

- Julie

Combine equal parts of all oils and combine in a dark, opaque bottle and keep refrigerated.
