Members of the Ellingson family of Rapid City cuddle up with blankets and pillows in the back of their pick-up to watch the movie at Roy’s Black Hills Twin Drive-In in Hermosa.

SUNSET CINEMA Drive-in a dream come true for owner Kayla Gahagan Journal correspondent

HERMOSA | For 3-year-old Andelyn Krysl, it was hard to tell which was more exciting: the fact that she was bundled up in the back of a pick-up truck with a large bowl of popcorn way past her bedtime, or that she was

about to watch her first drive-in movie.

Either way, she wasn’t alone in her kid-like anticipation of this season’s opening of Roy’s Black Hills Twin Drive-In movie theater.

As darkness fell over the prairie north of Hermosa on a recent Saturday night and meadowlarks

sang a goodnight call, the animated antics of the new hit “The Croods” echoed in the night air.

For owner Roy Reitenbaugh, it was another great night a long time in the making.

“It was a dream for me,” he said of opening the theater, which started with his work at the indoor Hot Springs movie

theater. He worked there for 16 years and became friends with owner Gerald Bullard. It was Bullard who first planted the idea of a drive-in movie theater in his head.

“And then it took seven years to find an investor and a location at the same time,” Reitenbaugh said.

COVER STORY

BLACK HILLS TO GO

The two finally came together a couple of years ago, when Reitenbaugh applied for a building permit with Custer County to become one of only 400 drive-in movie theaters in the country.

The theater opened late last summer.

In South Dakota, there are only nine outdoor movie theaters. Roy’s is the first all-digital drive-in theater in American and includes screens measuring 80 feet wide.

“It’s been received really well and I hope it will continue,” he said.

The project hit some bumps along the way with both county and town ordinances, including build permit and floodplain issues. Even obtaining sign permits has been a challenge, he said.

“I didn’t know it was going to be that hard,” he said, although the effort has been worth it.

The theater has all the trappings of a regular movie theater — fresh-buttered popcorn, oversized bags of Skittles and largerthan-life screens — customers say, plus the advantage of watching the movie from the privacy of your vehicle or underneath the stars.

Roy’s also includes a building with snacks and a bathroom, which is located next to a large swing set. That was a big selling point for friends Carrie Crosbie and Cathy Daulton, who came from Black Hawk and set up lawn chairs next to their vehicles.

“They can run around and still watch the movie,” Daulton said of the kids.

Drive-in theaters don’t come without their own challenges.

With the advent of the Internet, Netflix and technology, movie theaters in small towns have continued to shut their doors.

Even in Hot Springs, where Reitenbaugh says a theater is a great place for kids to hang out and something the community needs, a lack of interest has led to its temporary closure.

Money is always a challenge for any movie theater, Reitenbaugh said.

Each theater must paid a certain percentage of its admission fees for each movie it brings in,

THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2013 — 5

“Our money comes from concessions. It’s hard to get people to understand that just because we bring in $1,000 doesn’t mean we get to keep it.”

he added. A theater could pay as much as 85 percent of its admissions for a “red-hot movie” or new release, he said. A movie

 Roy’s Black Hills Twin Drive-In, Hermosa  Siskota Drive-In Theatre, Sisseton  PIX Drive-In Theatre, Winner  Winner Drive-In Theatre, Winner Source: driveintheater.com

that has been out for four weeks could cost closer to 35 percent of admission tickets.

“Our money comes from

concessions,” he said. “It’s hard to get people to understand that just because we bring in $1,000 doesn’t mean we get to keep it.”

Sometimes nature, or weather, also can play a factor in the success of outdoor theaters. But for Nick and Ramie Krysl, who came from Rapid City and brought Andelyn and 1-year-old Ryker, the dropping temperatures just meant more snuggling in sleeping bags. And they found the nearby field of cows endearing.

The couple said they came to support local business and give the kids something new to try.

They brought friends Suzy and Chad Knapp and their two kids, Lauren, 5, and Sydney, 3, along for the ride.

Inside the concession building, Alex Martin cleaned up from the first rush of people and prepared for the second rush, which he anticipated between the end of the first movie and the start of the second set. The first movies on each screen are familyfriendly and the second movies tend to be rated R. Martin started work at the theater last year.

“We pretty much sell anything,” he said, and that includes pizza, tacos, salads and chili.

The fact that he’s one of only a few hundred teenagers around the country who works at a drive-in theater is not lost on him.

“It’s fun to work here,” he said.

“You don’t see them very often.”

Reitenbaugh hopes that’s not always the case. In the meantime, he’s hoping people fall in love with the theater the way he has.

Starting with the grand opening this weekend, the theater will be open seven days a week. Reitenbaugh plans to be there every night.

He watched a movie there this weekend, just to make sure he caught one before the busy season.

“I enjoyed the movie,” he said, “even in the rain.”

STAND-UP GUY Cable Guy takes blue-collar comedy to new heights Deanna Darr Journal staff

Dan Whitney, also known as Larry the Cable Guy, will perform in Deadwood on Sunday, May 26.

As a Nebraska native, Dan Whitney can talk about the Cornhuskers, cheeseburgers at the sale barn and loading trucks on the farm.

But as Larry the Cable Guy, his empire includes sold-out comedy shows, a popular History Channel series, movies, a foundation that has donated more than $7 million to charity and even a commercial for Prilosec, a heartburn medication.

“I always wanted to get in the business, make a pretty good living, do what I like. And then all this other stuff happened,” Whitney said in a recent phone interview. “The fact that the last two years were the busiest of my career is just amazing.”

Whitney will hold two shows on Sunday, May 26, at the Deadwood Mountain Grand. The comedian, whose his signature catchphrase is “Git-R-Done,” has done just that, carving out a career in blue-collar humor that has lasted 25 years.

“I’m a fan of oldtime stuff. When I was a kid growing up, the guys I always liked were Henny Youngman, Milton Berle, Phyllis Diller, Charlie Callas. I used to

love Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I had quite an eclectic comedy taste,” he said.

He also enjoyed Buck Owens and Roy Clark on “Hee Haw” and the comedy of Jerry Clower, “the Mouth of Mississippi.”

“They were considered mainstream hokey, Southern humor. But I liked it. That kind of humor is great,” he said. “There are so many people who consider themselves better than others. You can’t be so full of yourself and think you’re so educated that you can’t laugh.”

And he’s a big fan of the one-liner.

“When I first started learning how to write jokes, I could never write a long story.

I’m like a one-liner comedian. If I can’t get laugh in 15 seconds, I don’t do it.”

Early on, he took inspiration from his funny family and rural life in Pawnee City, Neb. “I was always pretty goofy.

My brother was hilarious. My dad was a preacher; he was real strict, but he was funny.

My mom is just kind of naïve funny,” he said. “My own life was spent around pigs and cattle, loading trucks. You kind of made your own humor about that. I knew the ropes of what people would laugh at and how far I could take it.”

His career began 25 years ago this month, when he took a leave of absence from his bellhop job at the Hyatt Regency in West Palm Beach, Fla., to fulfill some comedy dates he had booked.

cable guy named Larry — took off. He never went back, even though the hotel assured him he would always have a job.

“I officially have never quit the Hyatt,” he said.

After a successful standup career, he released his first comedy album, “Lord, I Apologize,” which was at the top of Billboard’s comedy chart for 15 weeks in a row in 2001.

His road to stardom included the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall (resulting in two movies on Comedy Central), a star turn as the voice of Mater in the Disney/Pixar movies “Cars” and “Cars 2,” and a Comedy Central roast that attracted 4.1 million viewers.

Whitney said he considers Foxworthy a mentor for bluecollar comedians everywhere.

“Jeff was probably the first guy who came along who made it cool to laugh at small-town, country stuff,” he said. “I’m probably more of a pioneer as far as taking that kind of an act to cable TV.” Shows like A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” may just owe a nod to Whitney, his cable TV ratings success — and his wardrobe.

EMERGING ARTISTS Layne Putnam is this week’s Emerging Artists Mentoring Night mentor. She will be at the Bruce H. Lien Cultural Café at the Dahl Arts Center, 713 Seventh St., from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, May 24.

His second album is “Tip of the Iceberg,” where he experiments with everything from a cappella, drop-tuned 6/8 guitar riffs, telephone noises and shredded vocals.

“Now there are like 10 other shows on TV where guys have a sleeveless shirt on,” he said.

“I think it’s cool that there are more people who are downhome, just normal people.”

Whitney’s latest cable adventure is the History Channel series “Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy,” which has wrapped up 16 episodes for its third season. On the show, he visits places across the country, revealing bits of history and immersing himself in a new hobby, job or lifestyle.

“I get to meet so many fun and cool people,” he said. “My favorite thing to do is the ad lib and the spontaneity of comedy.

So when I meet these people, and they turn the cameras on, I like it, because it’s really challenging to take a situation where there’s absolutely no resemblance of comedy anywhere and figure out how is this going to be funny.”

“People will pretty much be getting sick of me. I’ll be on every day,” he said.

Now that his filming duties are complete, he plans to take some time off to concentrate on his stand-up, and to spend time with his wife, Cara, and his children, who are 5 and 6 years old.

Having a family has changed his act some, he said, but fans are still drawn to his down-home humor.

“I just do goofy things and funny stuff. I’m not out trying Larry the Cable Guy to go change the world,” he said.

“I genuinely have a good time. a line of “Lord, I Apologize” bar- I’m very accessible.

BLACK HILLS TO GO

ON THE RECORD

Three songs shared ‘Tomorrow’ theme honors Q: What was the name of the theme song for the late-night show, “The Tomorrow Show” with Tom Snyder?

A: “The Tomorrow Show” hosted

by Tom Snyder was a late-night talk show that followed “The Bradford Tonight Show Brady Starring Johnny Carson” and ran from 1973 through 1981. It had several different themes throughout its run, starting with “Love’s John Theme” by the Maron Love Unlimited Orchestra, the 40-piece orchestra that backed

up Barry White and his female vocal trio, Love Unlimited.

Snyder also used Bob Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay” for a time as well as “Love is the Message”

by MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother), the Philadelphia R&B band best known for its hit song, “T.S.O.P (The Sound of Philadelphia)” which became the theme song for “Soul Train.”

One of Snyder’s selfproclaimed most embarrassing moments of his career was his interview with the rocker Meat Loaf, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday. For the first 10 minutes of the interview, Snyder kept calling the rocker “Meatball.”

“The Tomorrow Show” was canceled in 1981. Snyder returned to news reporting for an ABC affiliate for a while before he took his show to ABC Radio. In 1995, when David Let-

terman moved to CBS, he hired Snyder to host “The Late Late Show” from 1995 through 1999.

In 2005, he revealed that he was battling lymphocytic leukemia.

He died in July 2007.

Q: I know it’s corny, but I’m a big fan of the original “Star Trek” series. I’ve always wondered who composed the nowfamous theme music.

A: The composer of that distinctive theme is Alexander “Sandy” Courage. Born in Philadelphia in December 1919, Courage was educated at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. After serving five years in the Army during World War II, Courage settled in Los Angeles and began work as an arranger for various radio shows, including the serial, “Sam Spade.”

Beginning in 1948, he began writing film scores. His credits

include “The Sun Also Rises,” “Showboat,” “Funny Face,” “Dr. Doolittle” (for which he was nominated for an Academy Award in 1967), “My Fair Lady” and “Guys and Dolls,” to name only a few. His television musical credits include scores for “Lost in Space,” “Wagon Train,” “Peyton Place” and “The Waltons.”

During the mid-’60s, while working as an arranger at Twentieth Century Fox, Courage was approached by executives at Desilu Studios about composing the theme for a science fiction show they were developing called “Star Trek.” He agreed and produced the now instantly recognizable theme.

What many people don’t realize is that there are lyrics to the theme, although they were never used in any of the shows

or subsequent movies. The lyrics were written by the show’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, and were never sung on-air. In fact, it has been reported that Roddenberry wrote the lyrics knowing that they would never be used simply so that he could take advantage of an option in Courage’s contract that enabled Roddenberry to claim co-authorship of the theme — and thereby claim half of the royalties, a move that left an understandably bitter taste in Courage’s mouth.

Bistro brings Nepalese cuisine downtown Mary Garrigan Journal staff

Even the voluptuous copper chafing dishes on the Kathmandu Bistro’s buffet table are from Nepal.

So are three of the four owners of Rapid City’s newest restaurant, which opened for business on Wednesday in downtown Rapid City at 727 Main St. Mahendra Poudel, Adam Newman, Pushpa Thapa and Pushpa Poudel are the co-owners of the ethnic restaurant that will specialize in the authentic cuisines of Nepal, India and Tibet. In addition to their mutual love of masala and naan, the four men share a profession: medicine.

When they aren’t working at Rapid City Regional Hospital as an infectious disease specialist, an emergency medicine physician and two hospitalists, respectively, the four doctors will handle front-of-the-house duties, some bartending and other tasks at the restaurant.

The kitchen, however, is the domain of executive chef Raj Gautam, a French culinary institute-trained chef, and his tandoori chef, Ramesh Thapa.

Together, the two men turn out a lengthy menu of Nepalese dishes, always using fresh ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible.

Gautam is a certified pastry and dessert chef. Thapa’s claylined tandoor oven produces chicken, seafood and lamb dishes, including rack of lamb, as well as 10 different varieties of naan, the traditional bread that is cooked on the tandoor’s clay walls.

Main dishes range from beef and bison to vegetarian and venison, but you’ll find all the clas-

sic Indian dishes on the menu, too, from dal to biryani to curry.

Plans are to feature specials with exotic meats, from alligator or even yak.

There’s a daily lunch buffet that will utilize those nine copper chafing dishes, which match the copper-covered bar

It’s an adventure just reading the menu at Tally’s Silver Spoon. Dishes such as Gin & Juice Quail with endive medjool dates, Pickled Pig with mustard-pigskin crumble and Lava Lake Lamb Turmeric with coconut bubbles make you feel as if you’re in a Food Network program.

Even Chicken & Grits gets the Tally’s treatment, with delicious results. The dish is an interesting, comforting mix of flavors and textures, from the crispy skin on the juicy, tender chicken to the creamy smoked grits topped with spinach, the sweet onion confit, the fat chunks of bacon and the bits of black truffle. I might have paid $24 just for that irresistible bowl of grits, but the chicken put it over the top.

Average entree prices are $14, but range from $10 to $30 for the lobster masala, the priciest thing on the menu.

“We feel pretty confident that all our our food is going to be consistent and delicious and the fine-dining atmosphere is going to be a step above what you can get at Everest or Curry Masala,” Newman said, referring to the other two local restaurants featuring Indian food.

Pushpa Poudel is also an owner of Everest.

Wine and beer are both available, with an extensive wine list that runs from $16 to $100 per bottle. Reservations can be made through the restaurant’s Facebook page.

Dave Orris of Vino 100 recommends the Carmern Gran Reserve 2009 Petit Sirah from the Maipo Valley, Chile. “It’s a nice dry wine that has interesting nuances to the flavor,” Orris said. There are layers of violets, spices, exotic mocha, stewed plums and earth currant. The tannins are fine-grained and smooth. This bottle is one of 100 wines for less than $25 at Vino 100. When Vino 100 opened seven years ago, Orris had to register more than 50 percent of his wine stock with South Dakota because the labels had never been poured in the state before, he said.

“BOTANY OF DESIRE” The Heartland Film Society will present “The Botany of Desire” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 30, at the John T.

Tickets are $5.

LIBERACE How would you like your Liberace? If you feel like exploring the seamier corners of the late pianist’s life, wait until May 26 when HBO airs the movie “Behind the Candelabra.” Michael Douglas stars as the flamboyant musician and Matt Damon plays his lover. If you prefer a happier trip back in time, pick up “Liberace: The Ultimate Entertainer” (Timeless Media Group; $15). The two-DVD set features clips from “The Liberace Show,” a variety series the performer filmed in 1969 for Britain’s ATV Network.

TRANSFORMING SPOCK At one point during “Star Trek Into Darkness,” Capt. James T. Kirk fumes, “Sometimes, I just want to rip the bangs off his head.” But Kirk doesn’t do that, which is a good thing considering the amount of time it took to transform Zachary Quinto into Spock, the half-Vulcan, half-human. At the beginning of filming, the process took 3 hours, 15 minutes — plus another 30 minutes in hair. By the time the movie finished shooting, makeup artists had shaved off 30 minutes of prep time to get the signature swooping ears, angled eyebrows and other facial flourishes.

REVIEW

This fall’s TV schedules reveal network trends It’s done. The fall TV lineup is complete — at least until one of the networks inevitably has second thoughts and changes the schedule that its executives Rob Owen just got done praising for its innovation/stability/youth appeal/upscale appeal.

So what trends can we foresee for the fall? Let’s consider: Comedy is king (again!): CBS has created a twohour comedy block on Thursday to rival NBC’s two-hour comedy block.

CBS offers a mix of new and returning shows; NBC offers low-rated “Parks and Recreation” and three new series. Granted, one of the NBC shows marks the return of Michael J. Fox, but it’s hard to imagine CBS not winning this showdown.

Another comedy bloodbath? Tuesday was a bloodbath last fall when ABC, NBC and Fox all aired young-skewing comedies at the same time. Although its ratings were not great, Fox is the only one still standing: NBC’s “Go On” and “The New Normal” were canceled, as were ABC’s “Happy Endings” and “Don’t Trust the B--in Apartment 23.”

In the upcoming season, Fox’s returning comedies “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project” face off against two ABC newcomers, “The Goldbergs” and

“Trophy Wife.” At midseason, NBC plans to add “About a Boy” and “The Family Guide.” Won’t it be Comedy Bloodbath: The Sequel?

Other competitive time slots: Although networks have felt the sting of DVR playback, they’re making a competitive play. On Monday, ABC veteran “Castle” faces off against newcomers “Hostages” on CBS and “The Blacklist” on NBC. And on Tuesday, CBS’s “Person of Interest” moves to a new night, as does NBC’s “Chicago Fire.” They go up against freshman drama “Lucky 7” on ABC. Action-adventure: NBC’s “Revolution,” which always felt like it might be a better family show than a gritty, “Walking Dead” wannabe for broadcast, moves to Wednesday.

And its success, coupled with the success of The CW’s “Arrow,” may have opened the door to more action-adventure fantasy shows this fall, including ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD,” The CW’s “The Tomorrow People,” Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow” and CBS’s midseason entry, “Intelligence.”

Miniseries reimagined: Fox made a lot out of its new “event series,” including a 12-episode season of “24,” but, really, these are shows that fall somewhere between a traditional miniseries and a short-order series.

Fewer reruns: While viewers might want more episodes of their favorites, creating a one-hour TV drama is a grind. Many showrunners cite the

shorter cable seasons as a reason they prefer working in cable over broadcast, and some broadcast showrunners, notably the husband-and-wife team behind CBS’s “The Good Wife,” have been agitating for a shorter season.

TV everywhere: ABC and TNT/TBS announced plans to make an authenticated live stream of programming available on tablets and mobile devices this summer, and Fox may do the same. Despite ratings declines, broadcasters claim their content is actually more valuable than when broadcast ratings were higher.

“We’re able to capture and provide value to our advertisers across every platform where our content is available,” said Fox Sales President Toby Byrne.

CBS President Les Moonves also makes the compelling argument that cable networks would have much lower ratings without reruns of broadcastnetwork hits.

“Broadcast (TV) is not an old medium being left behind by new ones,” he told advertisers. “Far from it. We’re at the center of it all; the media landscape would be barren without us.”

And Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly echoed that sentiment with more specificity: He said same-day ratings are not the universe on which broadcasters should be judged; it is viewership over multiple platforms, including video on demand, online streaming and DVR playback.
