Here in South Dakota, history is always with us. We’re a state of creativity, diversity and beauty, but we also carry the scars of our turbulent, not-sodistant past. This month, our Halloween-themed cover story, “Haunted South Dakota,” brings light to the local legends we whisper about and how some communities are embracing the proverbial skeletons in their closet. October isn’t just about the ghosts, though. This month, 605 is thrilled to sponsor BierbÖrse in Rapid City. We’ve also packed our calendar with familyfriendly community events and tons of live music. In this issue, we meet Les McLarty, a Sioux Falls dad working to expand area disc golf options. We’ll tell you about a fashion show challenging students to work as a team with the assistance of one of the industry’s bestknown designers. And as always, we’ll take you out to eat. Vermillion’s RED Steakhouse solidifies itself as a destination for inventive drinking and dining, bringing home the win in the Jefferson’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Cocktail Competition. We also head to Brookings, where Wooden Legs Brewing Co. is making a huge splash in the regional craft beer world. We have a lot to be proud of in South Dakota, and I couldn’t be happier to be on the front lines of showcasing all of the positive things our state is up to. Enjoy the issue and feel free to reach out to me at ddepaolo@605magazine.com or on Twitter @DeniseDePaolo.

SOULCRATE GROWS UP “We’ve never been in a better place.”
After a nearly yearlong hiatus, Soulcrate will take the stage in Sioux Falls this month. The local hip hop trio will play The District October 25, supported by Minneapolis-based Astronautalis and Sioux Falls-based Dino Babic. Although we’ve seen little of Soulcrate since the handful of fall 2013 shows promoting their latest album, Welcome Back from Wherever You’ve Been, oversaturating the market has never been their style. “We’re at a point now where we’re less on the road. Just kind of quality over quantity you might say,” explained Wes Eisenhauer, who fronts Soulcrate along with his brother Dan Eisenhauer. “We did a release show in Minneapolis and Fargo and just kind of the Midwest markets. We didn’t do anything too crazy on the touring side this time around.”
In addition to individual artistic endeavors, Wes and Corey Gerlach, aka DJ Absolute, have been focusing on fatherhood during the past year. “Corey just had a baby so that’s another ‘Soulcrate is growing up’ moment. I look forward to maybe having my daughter out there,” said Eisenhauer. “Life is definitely very different for everyone in the band since we’ve been writing songs together for 10 years.” He says that maturity may show in the music, but has definitely changed the way they approach the creative process, “It’s crazy to say so far into the game, but this is by far my favorite record. We’ve never been so much on the same page as each other. I’m really happy with how the whole record came together. And it’s exactly that – a record. It’s meant to be listened
to front to back, and we’ve always been fans of that kind of format. It’s the best work I’ve seen out of Corey on the production side and from us as writers, and in just being comfortable with ourselves and styles. We’ve never been in a better place.” According to Eisenhauer, the group is also focused on making sure The District show and select Midwest dates they’ll play this fall exceed all expectations. Part of that has been bringing on Isaac Show, of We All Have Hooks for Hands, to program lighting and play keyboards. Fans can also expect Soulcrate to get back to their roots for the hometown crowd. “We’re going to span our entire 10-year catalogue,” he said. “We’re digging up a lot of older stuff. It’s definitely interesting to look back at where we were when we wrote these songs com-
pared to where we are now. It’s definitely been a positive progression in our personal lives.” It may be a trip down memory lane for the group and their legions of die-hards, but for newer fans, this strategy will also allow a greater understanding of what Soulcrate is all about. “It’s kind of cool to have that broad of a reach in our local market. I think it goes back to that we really try to put on a quality event every time we put a record out or put a video out. We try to make sure it’s the best work we can possibly do and I hope that transcends age and genre. I hope that people just respect hard work and feel that’s what they’re seeing,” said Eisenhauer. For more info on the show, visit www.thedistrictsf.com or call (605) 271-5600. For more info about Soulcrate, visit www.soulcratemusic.com.

Music Preview When we think of ‘going to the symphony,’ the picture that pops into many minds is, well, a bit on the stuffy side. The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra is working to change that with pops concerts like October 18th’s “Michael Cavanaugh: The Songs of Billy Joel and More.” SDSO Music Director Delta David Gier tells us more about the show and what to expect from the symphony this month. What can people expect from the show? Cavanaugh’s interpretations of Billy Joel’s electrifying melodies accompanied by a full orchestra and band will keep the audience tapping their toes, slapping their thighs, and bobbing their heads all night long. Who is Michael Cavanaugh? Michael Cavanaugh is a charismatic performer, musician and actor, made famous for his piano/lead vocals in the Broadway Musical Movin’ Out. Michael was handpicked by Billy Joel to star in the title role and evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man himself. Michael appeared in the show for three years and over 1,200 performances, receiving accolade after accolade, which culminated in 2003 with both Grammy and Tony award nominations. How will the symphony participate in bringing Billy Joel’s songs to life? Part of the magic of the symphony is that it can perform any style of music. The imagination and stories in these recognizable and much loved songs will be enhanced with the addition of instruments such as violins, brass and even a harp. By including instruments not typically found on a rock stage, it gives a whole new dimension to the concert experience and will leave you wanting more. Who is this concert geared toward? Billy Joel’s decades’ worth of hits have become such a part of the fabric of our lives that there will be much recognizable music for everyone to enjoy. What makes this show special? This concert was handpicked by our patrons. Last season, we conducted a survey of our audience about which pops concerts they wanted to see most and this was one of the top contenders. It is the goal of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra to present concerts that are entertaining and engaging and this concert is sure to be a hit! How much are tickets? Tickets start at $25. What else does the South Dakota Symphony have going on in October? Our opening concert on October 4 celebrates South Dakota’s 125th Birthday in style. Tickets start at $15. The nationally acclaimed “Lakota Music Project” will be performed in Sioux Falls on October 11 at the Multi-Cultural Center and at Crazy Horse Memorial on Native American Day, October 13. The South Dakota Symphony Youth Orchestra will give their first concert of the season on October 19 at the Brandon Valley Performing Arts Center in Brandon.

BEYOND BORDERS with mark lloyd
Borders went bankrupt? So what. That doesn’t stop former employee Mark Lloyd from finding out what’s the next hottest read.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN OCTOBER
Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes
The Scatter Here is Too Great by Bilal Tanweer
There’s a killer on the loose in Detroit. Really strange bodies are turning up in the crumbling ruins that used to be that thriving metropolis. One is a half-boy half-deer fused together. Yeah, that’s where this is going. Lauren’s debut novel, The Shining Girls, was definitely worth the read, so I’d check this out also.
Coreyography by Corey Feldman
Are you guys down with Coreymania? From child star, to teen heartthrob to reality television star, Corey has done it all in Hollywood. With the loss of seven friends in one year, including Corey Haim and Michael Jackson, he has now started speaking out about the dark side of fame and the Hollywood machine that churns out child stars and leaves them on the side of the road when they hit puberty. Now I have to go see if License to Drive is on Netflix.
Did you ever notice how a bullet smashes a windshield? It will make a perfect hole, but the glass will crack and shatter outward, making the windshield look like a spider web. That is Karachi, Pakistan, a windshield that a bullet went through, “broken, beautiful and born of tremendous violence.” And when something happens in Karachi, it causes cracks that spiral out and affect all the interconnected people of the city. When a bomb goes off at Cantt Station in the middle of the city, everyone will be affected. It starts on a bus, which is full of mostly college kids. Comrade Sukhansaz gets on board and is im-
mediately harassed by these kids. The comrade used to be big in socialist circles and he fashions himself a Communist poet. With the political climate of Pakistan, he was not exactly a popular man. He spent years in jail and is lucky to still be breathing. He is made fun of until he demands to be let off, and gets off at Cantt Station, right before the bomb goes off. It just so happens that his estranged son is nearby. The story is picked up and he remembers how his father would not let him study religion as a child. The Communist poet wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and lead the glorious revolution to free the people of Pakistan. The son did become a successful businessman, but that was not good enough for his father. And now the son has his own son, whom he never sees. And then there’s a young man, Sadeq, stuck in a dead-end job taking people’s cars back after they have defaulted on their payments. He just wants to make money and have nice things. He just wants girls and social status. Through their stories, we learn about the culture and history of Pakistan. We see the people who lived through failed political movements to the westernization of their great city. And like a windshield, when the bullet hits, Karachi will be shattered and cracked, and everyone will be affected.

“IT’S VERITABLY SQUIRMINDUCING, AND YET NOT QUITE SATISFYING AS FAR AS HORROR GOES.” Part “cabin in the woods” horror, part romantic honeymoon tale, and part sci-fi thriller, Honeymoon’s sweet beginnings give way to gruesome endings that, while terrifying, don’t entirely hit their mark. Newlywed life is fraught with difficulty as adjusting to life with someone else can make for plenty of stressful situations. At the least, the honeymoon phase can usually be depended upon to be a time of blissful happiness before reality settles. Director Leigh Janiak isn’t quite so generous with her newlywed couple in the backwoods horror, Honeymoon. When young couple Paul (Harry Treadaway) and Bea (Rose Leslie) get married, they’ve barely just arrived at Bea’s childhood vacation cabin in the woods of Canada before strange things start happening, threatening to cut short their marital euphoria. While well-paced overall, Honeymoon does thickly lay on the ooeygooey love of its main characters at the start. Setting up a sense of happiness that feels entirely too good to last. That said, Treadaway and Leslie (whom audiences may recognize from HBO’s Game of Thrones) have a light and affective chemistry. As Bea shows
off the cabin, reliving the memories of her childhood and sharing this side of her with her new husband, they seem to be a truly well-matched couple. Their first few days are easy enough. A boat ride on the secluded off-season lake, late breakfasts, long walks and lots and lots of love making. In fact, their inability to keep their hands off each other seems almost too pronounced. Oh, foreshadowing. One night Paul’s alarm goes off hours early, causing him to get up and get ready to fish way earlier than he needs to. He realizes his mistake and makes his way back to bed to find that Bea is missing. In a panic he follows her trail to the woods where he finds her naked and in a daze. Shaken by this strange episode, he tries his best to reason with Bea to remember what happened to her. She seems alarmed but not frightened, claiming she must have sleepwalked despite having no previous experience doing so. Paul notices a strange wound on her upper thigh. Alas, like many horror films, there seems often to be the moment where the slow suspense gives way to answers, and when shock value is involved, rarely are those answers truly
satisfying. Honeymoon doesn’t entirely misstep in its transition to the final reveal, and for once withholds some answers that seems to work in the favor of the film’s gruesome ending. But in the same way the film built its suspense ever so slowly, so does the gore of the ending draw out so slowly so as to be too uncomfortable. It’s veritably squirm-inducing, and yet not quite satisfying as far as horror goes. There are definite questions of relationship, identity, and even gender roles implied through the film’s choice of terror and the ways in which Paul and Bea act (Bea being the one to explain to Paul how to fish and hunt), but none of them leave any sort of impression or provoke lasting thoughtfulness. As for the horror elements, while effectively creepy, there are loads of missing explanations that might have pushed the film into exploring those deeper questions better while simultaneously providing a few more answers to its baffled audience.

Coming off a disappointing previous film (Touchy Feely), director Lynn Shelton returns with Laggies to what she does best —examining likable but flawed characters at a crossroads in their life. A young adult (Keira Knightley) finds herself floating through life until an unlikely friendship forms with a young high school student who helps give her life some purpose. While this is Lynn Shelton’s most accessible and crowd-pleasing film to date, it unfortunately comes at the expense of believability and few moments that contain her unique style, making Laggies feel overly familiar and a bit too generic. THE SKELETON TWINS

Bernard Boo Read full review: http://way2in.de/yi
Through nine years of making millions pop with laughter together on Saturday Night Live, Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader have developed a rare rapport few other on-screen pairings can touch. With the legendary variety show now in the rearview mirror, the duo hope to ditch the silly sketch costumes, expand their repertoire and evolve as actors. The two leads go through periods of disdain for one another, exacerbated by the fact that they know precisely how to hurt each other worst (it’s a twin thing). The Skeleton Twins is just fine as an amusing, unexpectedly poignant take on the inextricable link shared by twins. FRANK

Nik Grozdanovic Read full review: http://way2in.de/vr
Frank is an enjoyable enough romp filled with a colorful cast of characters and a pleasant atmosphere. Although, it must be said, the insufferable score by Stephen Renicks and Dominic Gleeson’s narration evocative of an adventure in Middle Earth or a Hogwarts school excursion paint the picture in way too thick of a dainty coat. With the way the characters are written and the overemphasis on Frank’s free spirit, it all leads to an aggravating sense of selfawareness and attention-seeking. Fans of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michael Fassbender will still enjoy themselves with Frank, but my advice is not to take the film as seriously as it takes itself.

SIZE MAT TERS
Say goodbye to blind reaching and goopy forearms. Begin by cutting a standard circular hole around the pumpkin’s stem at the front, but don’t complete the circle. Once you reach the back, carve downward on either side, joining the incisions about halfway down the pumpkin’s back. This will allow for easier access to the pumpkin’s interior, and quicker, more efficient removal of the guts. PAT TERNS OF E XCE LLE NCE
Create easy, perfect designs on your jack o’lantern without picking up a knife. Use a rubber mallet to gently pound cookie cutters into the pumpkin. If the walls are too thick, use a large metal spoon to scrape away some of the excess from the inside. Create spooky scenes, repeating patters or whatever strikes your fancy!

AT HOME WITH ALANA AMDAHL
(page 26) OCTOBER 2014
“That’s just a dollar map that I cut up and put in Ikea frames. I like maps, globes and numbers.” (Pictured below.)
Look for more photos online!
ALANA AMDAHL Located on a shady, tidy street in central Sioux Falls’ VA Medical Center neighborhood is the ranch-style home owned by Alana Amdahl. Although she’s lived here only for 10 months, her eye was on the house long before. “I had looked at the house across the street, but didn’t love it. I’d noticed that this one was vacant, so we walked across the street and it was snowy and wonderful and magical. It had been on the market for about 100 days with no nibbles. ‘What’s wrong with it?’ I asked. ‘Nothing?’ I fell in love with it.” Amdahl, who is a licensed realtor with Hegg Realtors, sold the home to herself. After two weeks of painting and renovations, she moved in, along with her roommate. After traversing the small, cheerful porch, a person entering Amdahl’s home is struck by a sense of order and extreme attention to detail. It’s warm and inviting, but full of intention, attributes that aren’t surprising considering her other job as co-manager at Engage Paperie in downtown Sioux Falls.
Several distinct themes happily intermingle in Amdahl’s home. One of which is evidenced by framed photographs and a collection of more than two dozen vintage cameras, “I love photography. You’ll see cameras throughout the whole house. I’m not a photographer, but started collecting cameras years ago and just kept on with it.” Amdahl, who is an avid antique store and estate sale shopper, says paying less than $10 per camera is always the goal. Another common factor in Amdahl’s décor is numbers. The proud South Dakotan has ‘605’ and ‘812’ (her street address) displayed throughout her home, in both free-standing and framed versions. The walls in the main floor’s open dining and living areas are a soft gray bookended by bright white molding. “The walls were greenish-grey before and the ceilings

“I really wanted a fireplace and this house had two. The wood floors are original. I fell in love with the fact that it had wood floors.”
were peach,” said Amdahl. “The previous owner really liked painted ceilings.” Amdahl’s front room doubles as a cozy seating area – designated by a geometrically patterned rug beneath matching peacock-colored chairs – and a formal dining space. “I really wanted a lot of space for the dining room,” she said. “Entertaining is really important to me. That’s why I bought the house, because it has good flow.” From the entryway, one can see to the back of Amdahl’s house, which is larger than it appears upon approach. Previous owners added on to the back of the original 1950’s structure, giving it a spacious living area and the type of master bedroom rarely seen in houses of this era. One enters Amdahl’s bedroom through a galley-style sitting area, which can be closed off at either end and serve as a TV room or additional sleeping space. “This is kind of a fun feature,” she said. “This is a den, but it would have been an original bedroom.” The large bedroom addition beyond looks out on the fenced backyard. It boasts two good-sized closets and an en suite bath. The first-floor’s main bathroom is painted a deep, sumptuous navy blue punctuated by the same white accents seen elsewhere in the home. “I went really dark in there, because I’ve always liked dark bathrooms,” she said. “It’s cozy, I think. If you want a cozy bathroom. The theme is nautical, but not beachy. Not laky. Octopuses and mermaids.” The main floor includes two more bedrooms, one of which is a guest room, while the other is a home office. “This is big blue,” said Amdahl, gesturing to large, brightly-painted metal desk. “It was at an auction. No

one wanted it, so I offered them five dollars and they took it. It was really weathered. It had been out at the Tea Airport.” The home’s crown jewel is arguably the kitchen. Amdahl and her family, some of whom are in the home and building industry as well, focused much of their effort on updating it prior to move-in. The dark, textured countertops are illuminated by under-cabinet lighting. The backsplash and cabinets gleam white, which Amdahl says is more her taste than their previous color, “They were what they call ‘champagne,’ but we joked that they were flesh-colored cabinets.” “I knew I wanted white cabinets,” she continued. “So I used one of those Rust-Oleum cabinet-restoring kits. It was the bane of our existence for two weeks. If I ever paint cabinets again, I’d spray them as opposed to brushing them.” The centerpiece of the kitchen is a large, weathered metal Sunbeam Bread sign, which Amdahl found at a Brookings antique store when she was a student, “I found out later on that my grandpa sold Sunbeam. All of my colors kind of go with that.” The finished basement contains another living space, a fourth bedroom, a third bathroom and a massive laundry room/storage area. Although Amdahl has already put considerable work into making the house her home, her projects are far from done. Next on the list is an overhaul of the backyard, which will include a fire pit area, only expanding her entertaining options.

WOODEN LEGS BREWING COMPANY “Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.” – Benjamin Franklin Wooden Legs Brewing Company is found on a quiet offshoot of Brookings’ main drag. And although the craft brewery and restaurant has gathered a diverse, diehard following during its 18 months in business, one can’t help but feel they’re in on a secret shared with only the most dedicated, worthy drinkers. The décor is utilitarian and modern, yet inviting. When we stopped by midafternoon on a Wednesday, there were several people bellied-up to the bar, partially consumed pints in front of them. As my dining companion and I walked in, we were greeted enthusiastically by the bartender (or “pubkeeper” as they’re called). When we started asking questions about Wooden Legs’ own microbrews, he gave us a few samples to try. The first was Wild Hare Cream Ale (which is being rebranded on October 25 as Hobo Brew, the official beer of Hobo Day 2014), the second was the What We Got IPA and the third was the Pepper Jack Chili Lager. The copper-colored cream ale was smooth, yeasty and sweet. The IPA was crisp and hoppy. The Pepper Jack was a party in a glass. Made from South Dakota-grown ghost peppers and Trinidad scorpion peppers, it packs a serious punch while still allow-
ing the lager to shine through. This is not the case for every pepper beer out there. The pubkeeper, whom we learned was Joe, the kitchen manager, poured in a bit of his homemade Bloody Mary mix and turned my Pepper Jack sample into the spiciest, most flavorful red beer. I ordered one, which came with a beef stick for stirring. My friend ordered the IPA. We then tried to decide what to order from the selection of 18 artisan pizzas and deli-style sandwiches on the menu, finally agreeing on the MacN-Cheese Pizza and the Black & Blue Pizza. As we waited for our pies, more and more people showed up to grab an afternoon pint and socialize. The staff mingled easily with their clientele, joking and laughing while they worked. The Mac-N-Cheese pizza was heaped with spiral pasta, hearty bacon and, of course, plenty of cheese. At first glance, it looked like lot of starch on starch. However, the thin, crispy crust served as an excellent vehicle for the softer, gooier toppings, keeping this bonanza of carbohydrates’ textures diverse and interesting. The Black & Blue Pizza was covered in thinly-sliced beef, blue cheese crumbles and onion slivers atop the same thin crust as the Mac-N-Cheese, but with more a traditional zesty marinara sauce. We liked the Mac-N-Cheese very much, but this was
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 31)
the clear favorite at our table. The combination of salty, savory, and slightly sweet created a glorious orgy of pizza perfection on the palate. We didn’t try any of the sandwiches, which are built to order with freshly-sliced meat (roast beef, corned beef, turkey or ham), along with cheese and artisan condiments on locally baked bread. But since we were asking so many questions, Joe brought us each a slice of the jalapeno cheddar bread to try. It was incredibly soft, with bits of jalapeno and large veins of cheddar cheese running through it. When I pulled my slice (with the corner missing) out of the toaster the next morning, it was one of the best pieces of toast I’d ever encountered. Since I don’t give much thought to toast, that’s saying a lot. As we were leaving, Wooden Legs’ other patrons were getting ready for Wall Street Wednesday. During this weekly event, beers are put on a Wall Street-style ticker. Prices start low, but rise as more beers are purchased. At some point during the night, the market crashes, causing beer prices to plummet. Joe says it’s very popular – and there’s an additional discount if patrons wear their best stockbroker suit. Bottom line – if you’re looking for an out-of-the-way spot to grab a high quality beer, Wooden Legs is for you. If you like pizza, particularly delicious, creative pizza, Wooden Legs is for you. Next time, I’ll likely order a sandwich just to mix it up, but the Black & Blue Pizza will haunt my dreams.

It’s the facts... · 12 pounds of ghost peppers and Trinidad scorpion peppers are used per every three barrels to make the Pepper Jack Chili Lager. · Wooden Legs offers three to seven of its own brews on tap at any given time, but also stocks microbrews from around the U.S. and some carefully selected imports. · Wooden Legs gets bread from Brookings-based Cottleston Bakery twice a week. The bread can also be purchased at Brookings’ farmers market and at The Pheasant restaurant. · All of Wooden Legs’ “pubkeepers” are beer server certified from the Cicerone Institute, which means they can likely answer any question you have about beer and recommend food great pairings. · On SDSU’s Hobo Day 2014, Wooden Legs serves only South Dakota-brewed tap beers, including some unique, rarely-distributed varieties.

RED Steakhouse is known throughout the region as a destination for creative, quality food and drink. So when 605 staffers were asked to help judge the Jefferson’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Cocktail Competition, we knew they’d deliver. Bartenders from four top restaurants created glorious bourbon concoctions, but Executive Chef Kirk Phillips ultimately dominated with his RED Breakfast Bourbon. Here, he shares the recipe for this sweet, salty soon-to-be mainstay for Sunday brunch and D Days breakfast.
RED BREAKFAST BOURBON 3 Bottles Jefferson’s Bourbon 16 oz Cinzano sweet vermouth 4 oz Campari 10 Luxardo Cherries Peel of 1 orange (no pith) 2 tsp White Peppercorn 2 Cloves Pinch Cinnamon 3 inches high quality Vanilla bean
“This drink shows who we are as a restaurant. It embraces our love of quality ingredients. We’re coming into fall, so I like the idea of the orange, clove and cinnamon spices in there. And the maple syrup. As you drink, it’s going to mutate from the first sip to the last sip. It will get sweeter and you’ll need more of the salt to counter that.”

“To see the reaction of those suffering from ALS, witnessing all of the encouragement and support from the participants surrounding them...that’s going to be awesome.”
SUPER HERO SUPPORT Local Super Heroes have the opportunity to support the fight against ALS in Sioux Falls’ first annual Super Hero Dash. Thanks to social media’s fascination with the Ice Bucket Challenge, ALS awareness is at an all-time high. Videos of participants being doused in ice water have been filling television segments and media news feeds for months. While its entertainment value and celebrity endorsements have resulted in incredible success, there are more ways to contribute to the nonprofit organization. All local super heroes are being asked to come forward this month to support the tri-state chapter of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota at Sioux Falls’ first annual Super Hero Dash on October 18. There are no extraordinary abilities or magical powers required, simply a generous heart and any super hero costume that may be hanging in the back of your closet. Seeing its increasing success in the Minneapolis area over the past two years, Chelsea Cronin, event coordinator for the local ALS Association chapter, decided it was time to bring the Super Hero Dash to the area. “Awareness is one of the main aspects we focus on within our chapter of the association. Aside from fundraising, educating and spreading the knowledge of ALS is one of our primary goals,” she said. “Any opportunity we have to get in front of an audience is a huge win for us.” Bringing in over 600 participants and $39,000 in last year’s Minneapolis dash, Cronin is set up for success in Sioux Falls. The aim is to attract 150 participants and meet an overall fundraising goal of $15,000. Submitted Images.
The Super Hero Dash offers both a walk/run 5k and 10k course starting at Sertoma Park, as well as a kids’ dash for anyone age 10 and younger. Even those unable to lace up their running shoes and throw on a cape still have the opportunity to be a super hero on race day. Participants are asked to set personal fundraising goals aside from the registration fee, with all proceeds benefitting the ALS Association. Whether it’s running in the dash, contributing to a personal goal or cheering from the sidelines, every participant plays a major role in achieving the donation goal. While her focus remains on upcoming events, Cronin is looking ahead, aspiring to increase awareness through the opportunities offered to those interested in getting involved. ALS Association fundraisers cover a broad array of interests from golf tournaments to snowmobile rides. As the event coordinator, Cronin only hopes to expand on those opportunities. “We need to provide various fundraisers for the varying interests of those wanting to show their support...it’s an incredible feeling to see the contributors expanding and donations rolling in.” She believes the day will be rewarding, “To see the reaction of those suffering from ALS, witnessing all of the encouragement and support from the participants surrounding them... that’s going to be awesome.” For more info about the Super Hero Dash, visit www.alssuperherodashsf.com or call (605) 274-0230.

Haunted South Dakota
Written by Denise DePaolo Sioux Falls Images by Michael Liedtke Photography Keystone Images by Mike Trike
Rare is the person who hasn’t been spooked by a shadow, felt an unexplained sense of dread, or avoided the dark side of the street. Yet each October 31, we light jack o’lanterns and hand out treats to ghoulish children, often while donning a similarly terrifying façade.
O
ur fascination with things that go bump in the night has turned Halloween into an eight-billion-dollar industry. It’s also helped paranormal TV programming to flourish year-round. Learning about purported hauntings through our TV sets is safe. The legends associated with far-off places have no impact on our everyday lives. But, we must remember, every community has its stories. Including ours. Homes and museums and mines right here have strange and turbulent not-so-distant pasts. Now, some South Dakota communities are using their ghost stories to bridge the gap with history, all while having a little Halloween fun.
The Haunting of Keystone
Known mostly as the home of Mount Rushmore (and Carrie Ingalls of Little House fame), Keystone is an exmining camp turned summertime road trip mecca. While the presidents’ faces will likely continue to dominate the local tourist trade, this tightknit Black Hills community is gaining a reputation for its paranormal activity as well. To hear Mike Trike, president of the Holy Terror Association tell it, Keystone is a place where the living exist alongside the spirit world. “Keystone in general has quite a few allegedly haunted places,” he said. “It was nothing like Deadwood was, but mining towns being mining towns, they all have their seedy and violent past.” Every October, Keystone highlights three attractions – The School from Hell, The Haunted Forest and The Haunted Mine – each of which has its own other-worldly tales, but is enhanced with special effects and actors. The Haunted Mine is actually the abandoned Big Thunder Mine, which operates as a tourist attraction in its own right. Mines were a dangerous place to work in the gold rush days, and although Big Thunder’s biggest tragedy
appears to be its lack of gold, one is supposedly still able to hear “tommy knockers,” or trapped miners banging on rocks, hoping to be rescued. The School from Hell is the community’s 1900 school building, which now serves as the Keystone Historical Museum. Trike says this building has multiple distinct spirits, whose activity has been witnessed by tourists – and by himself, “There’s allegedly a Chinese fellow’s ghost haunting the attic. The story, as I understand, is he was lynched back when this was a mining camp with a Chinese district. It was at a time when a ‘Chinaman’ having a relationship with a white woman was heavily frowned upon.” The Chinese man’s ghost is the prime suspect in an incident where a bank of well-secured lights came crashing down over and over again while Trike and a friend decorated for a previous haunt. Trike refers to another schoolhouse ghost as “The Talking Man.” “He was a teacher who supposedly committed suicide in or around the school grounds,” he said. “A few summers ago, he was really active. You’d hear him talking in a conversational voice, just like I’m speaking to you now, but I’ve never heard him in the same room as me. He’s always a floor above me or a floor below me. Or he would be in a room right next to me, and I’d know for a fact that there was no one else in the building but myself.” The third location, The Haunted Forest, is for zombie lovers. However, the forest surrounding Keystone has had its own share of ghost sightings. “Orbs have been reported around the forest area of the old Holy Terror and Keystone Mines, because during their days, there were quite a few accidents and deaths,” said Trike. The Haunting of Keystone runs weekends, October 17-31. Tickets are $7 per attraction or $15 for all three. For more info, visit www.hauntedkeystone.com or call (605) 666-4847. Proceeds from the haunt benefit local nonprofits.
The Haunted Sioux Falls Tour
“We really try to present the tour as a ‘believe it or not,’” said Siouxland Heritage Museums Curator of Education Kevin Gansz. “We always try to poll everybody when they get on the bus by asking who believes in ghosts. And I’d say at least three quarters of the people who are on the tour raise their hands.”
For more than a decade, Sioux Falls believers and skeptics alike have been drawn to the chance to elevate the everyday to something more. “The response has been wonderful,” said Gansz. “I think everyone loves something haunted or the thought that something might be haunted.” Six times during October, tour participants board a bus behind the Old Courthouse Museum for an hour-long ride. The primary focus is downtown, although Gansz says it does venture into some residential areas. “One of the residences we do – it’s been on the tour for a long time – the owner says, ‘What do you know about my house?’ We tell her and then she says to us, ‘Now let me tell you what’s going on with me.’ So she thinks she’s had experiences there as well. She’s really excited to have her house on the tour.” While Gansz and his colleagues want to keep most of the stops a tour secret, a few of the alleged hauntings are too well-known to keep under wraps. One famous Sioux Falls ghost is The Orpheum Theatre’s “Larry.” “Supposedly, Larry was pretty active a while ago, dropping sandbags on people on the stage and things of that nature. People have had some weird occurrences – the stage becoming very cold and finding weird things in weird places. I’ve heard about there being no one else in the building and toilets flushing and sinks turning on.” Another downtown landmark widely-rumored to be haunted is the Washington Pavilion. “Unfortunately, a gentleman – a construction worker – was killed in the process to switch it from the school to the Pavilion,” said Gansz. “And I will state that we’ve been warned by a local psychic never to take a particular elevator in the Pavilion. Whether that’s true or not, has yet to be seen.” Gansz added that Old Courthouse Museum itself is rife with ghostly lore, “Not many people know that the site the courthouse was built on, prior to it being here, was the site of public execution in Sioux Falls. At least three people were hung on this site. That’s just a creepy fact, but maybe it leads to some interesting things in the building.” The Haunted Sioux Falls Tour runs each Tuesday, plus two Sundays during October. Space is limited. Tickets are $10 at The Old Courthouse Museum. For more info, visit www.siouxlandmuseums.com or call (605)367-4210.

THE SCOOP BY JORDAN SMITH
Students in this year’s show get a rare opportunity to use fabrics from the Diane von Furstenberg for Kravet collections, due in part to a run in with von Furstenberg herself.
FORM + FASHION MEETS FUNCTION Project Runway stars meet local designers in the yearly Form + Fashion Meets Function Student Portfolio Design Show and Fashion Runway Event. Featuring collections from students at the Institute of Design and Technology of SD, the show will take place Friday, October 17 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. Students must have completed the entire yearlong program at IDTSD to participate in the show. There is also student work from those who participated in the Summer Boot Camp. The Form + Fashion event is a showcase of student designs. Fashion students are required to make a 10 -12 piece collection, and interior students have the task of creating an interior design for a house and include certain components such as “green” elements for a lamp. Students choose which piece of their collection goes on the runway. The event includes a silent auction, which is a fundraiser for scholarships. It also benefits programming for the Summer Boot Camp, held every year for girls age nine through high school. Lisa Gregersen, a recent IDTSD graduate, will be featured in the show. She attended the summer program

when she was trying to decide where to go to college. “I was looking for a school that offered fashion design, took the summer camp and really liked it,” Gregersen said. IDTSD sees a wide student age range – young people who want to get their start in fashion early and those who found their passion later in life. “It is an incredible opportunity for students to create something,” said Anita Kealey, IDTSD creative director. Students in this year’s show also get a rare opportunity to use fabrics from the Diane von Furstenberg for Kravet collections, due in part to a run in with the designer herself. Kealey had seen von Furstenberg before, and was invited to the launch party of her new collection. Kealey was wearing a dress she had made (as part of a lastminute decision to attend the party) with fabric from von Furstenberg’s 1975 collection, and the designer noticed. Kealey said it is for this reason she tells students to always

be prepared, because you never know what opportunities could come along in life. According to Kealey, von Furstenberg has embraced the opportunity to work with the Institute, and it is rare to have an opportunity to work with the fabric. The fashion show is a pairing between 10 interior décor students and fashion design students. Students from each discipline are paired up and then choose a fabric, with the fashion student designing an outfit and the interior student creating a repurposed chair. “It is cool to see us come together with the design of the chair and the piece of clothing ,” said Gregersen. The Institute helps pick the models for the show. The students choose their music and how the models are styled. Hair and makeup teams assist in getting the models runway ready. All students walk the runway in the show with their pieces, including the interior décor students. “This show is unlike anything else,” said Kealey. “What is unique about this school is that it is not about one person’s idea. It is learning to collaborate and work with a team.” Another element of the show is the collaboration with Project Runway. This is the fourth year working with Project Runway finalists. This year, the featured designers are season 11 winner Michelle Lesiak and season 12 finalist Helen Castillo. Kealey met Tim Gunn during her time at Parsons School of Design, and has shown her collections with winners of the TV competition. Kealey refers to herself as the comedian – the one who warms up the crowd. Her collection, LENZANITA, opens the show. She says she wants to give everyone time to get into their seats and make sure that there is “full audience attention for the students and special guests.” The student collections follow, and the two Project Runway special guests are the finale. At the end of the show, all bags that were shown on the runway will be sold. There will also be pre-cut fabric and patterns found in the show in kits for sale for those that want to make their own bag. “It is amazing, the level of what these students can do and how far they come in a year,” said Kealey.

Name: Les McLarty Age: 36 Hometown: Sioux Falls, SD Specialty: Disc Golf Enthusiast/Course Designer
We’ve designed it so that it’s played at a higher level than any of the other courses around here. People are gonna want to travel there and play. It’s a challenging and fun course that’s not going to punish new players.
LES MCLARTY A long-time recreational disc golf player, Les McLarty – a local father and a line-service technician by day – has slowly grown frustrated with the lack of courses available in Sioux Falls. Luckily for local fans of the sport, McLarty has taken his passion to the next step, designing and establishing courses in the area that he hopes veterans and newcomers alike will enjoy. The first of these is at Inspiration Hills, in nearby Inwood, Iowa. McLarty spoke with us about the venue’s grand opening – slated for October 11 – and his hopes for the future of the local disc golf community: When did you first get into disc golf, and what drew you to the sport? It was during the summer of 2000, right before we got a course in town [here in Sioux Falls.] I just got into it with some friends – we were hanging out one day and they were talking about going disc golfing. I had never heard of it, so I decided to go out with them. We went over to McKennan Park, and we’d just play [by trying to throw the disc] to objects. I kind of thought it was cool – I enjoyed it. But what really hooked me was the first time I actually saw somebody who really knew how to throw a disc and throw it really far. Watching the flight of it just got me hooked. And what led to an interest in designing courses? The guys I was playing with had been exposed to disc golf courses in other states. They’d come to South Dakota, and there were no courses in Sioux Falls, so we’d just go to a park, make up a course, play in the trees or whatever… Whenever I’d travel, I’d always try to find new courses to play. But, right now we have one course in Sioux Falls, at Tuthill Park. Just seeing the traffic it gets with all the peo-
ple, it can be very crowded. I like to take my time and enjoy the game, take my kids out. So when there are five to 10 people at each hole throwing into us while we’re still trying to finish out the hole, it’s been getting kind of frustrating. We’ve needed more courses in the area for a while. So your kids play too? I have two boys. They’re 5 and 7, and they both play. Any time I’m going out, they usually want to come with. We have a basket in our backyard, and we’ll just sit around playing – they really enjoy it. Describe the process to try and establish some new courses in the area. Have there been any obstacles? Any time somebody went in front of the Sioux Falls City Council, they’d usually get shut down. So last year, out of frustration – I was seeing the sport grow, but there were no courses to sustain it – I put together a letter with a bunch of information and demographics about the sport and sent it to the mayor. He put me in contact with the parks, and that’s how I became involved. A lot of new courses are starting to be developed outside of cities in more rural areas and state parks where there is the space and land to accommodate the sport. That is how the Inspiration Hills project came in to play. How has the course at Inspiration Hills been coming along? I’ve been going out there for about a year now, working on design and going back and forth with [the owners of the
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 47)
park] over ideas. Earlier this year I got the okay to start designing, and I’ve been out there about every week now, getting holes ready to go. We’ve designed it so that it’s played at a higher level than any of the other courses around here. We’ve definitely put the time and effort into it to make it a destination spot. People are gonna want to travel there and play. It’s a challenging and fun course that’s not going to punish new players. For anyone considering taking up disc golf, what do you think makes the sport special? Most people don’t know that disc golf is the fastest growing sport in our country right now. It’s also a sport that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age, size, or gender. Disc golf is free to play on most courses and offers a great way to stay healthy and enjoy nature with family, friends or even on your own. I have seen a lot more families and kids out on the courses over the past few years, as well as the number of older people picking up the sport. The best thing about disc golf is the camaraderie between people. You can go on a course and just make a friend instantly out of a common love of the sport. The Inspiration Hills course grand opening and Harvest Festival on October 11 includes a 5k, cookout, disc golf tournament and more. The course will be free to play. McLarty’s other upcoming projects include an 18-hole, championship-level course that has been approved for Union Grove Park in Beresford. To donate to the project, contact assistant park manager John Dummer at NewtonHills@state.sd.us.

LITTLE PARENT ON THE PRAIRIE by Tracy Kirby
As the days went by after my wrinkle discovery, I began to feel less and less horrified about them. First of all, no matter what our culture’s odd obsession with airbrushed alien skin; wrinkles are normal and inevitable.
bio: Tracy Kirby’s roots and heart are in the Hawaiian Islands, but destiny has led her to the prairie. She is a wandering traveler, a wife to a dashing Sioux Falls native, a mother to a two-year-old daughter and 145-pound bear puppy, a freelance writer, and a lover of souls.

OWNING THE INEVITABLE So there I was, thumbs moving fiercely to delete any inconsequential photos among the thousands stored on my phone. Tired of the incessant warning that my phone storage was full, I was trying to clean house. But it was an impossible task. How to choose which photos to unceremoniously delete forever of your ever-growing toddler? So, I spotted a picture of boring ‘ole me to delete and accidently opened it up on my screen. What I saw horrified me to my core. There, clearly strewn across my face in the picture appeared one of the most dreaded creatures in our culture today and the reason airbrushing is all the rage: Wrinkles. Those squiggly lines that somehow show up on our bodies when we aren’t looking; slowly slowly creeping in, settling in and never leaving like a hungry bed bug in New York City. I honestly could not and still cannot believe my eyes. Could this be premature aging? I got home and stared at myself in the mirror for an embarrassingly extended period of time. As I searched out the now clearly visible lines shooting out from the outside of my eyes, I could not believe it took a simple phone picture to reveal to me the aging that has evidently been going on for some time now. As I furthered my inspection, my mind started to wander back into my teenage years when sun toasting with baby oil was having a moment. Then I thought about my 20’s when I was living in California and sunscreen was about as far from my brain as monogamy is from anyone in Hollywood. Damn you, younger, bronzed, carefree me! Didn’t
you know sunscreen would be having its moment in your 30’s? Now the wrinkles have set up shop, and once you’re cracked, you’re cracked. After the initial panic and self-admonishment subsided, I began to let up on myself a bit. How many Asian/Pacific Islanders/Hawaiians do you ever see putting on sunscreen in their younger years? Only the smart ones? (That’s a trick question, by the way, we’re all smart. Gotcha!) In fact, as I thought about it, I went to college practically on the beach and I can’t recall a single moment where I observed any of my classmates lathering up the sunscreen and worrying about future wrinkles. Probably because we were too busy having the time of our lives and “catching some rays, man!” – Okay, no one ever said that. Ever. But as I gazed into the mirror inspecting every inch of potential aging skin, I laughed at how my mindset has changed not only because of the pesky lines, but because I’m a mother. Today we all know the very real risks of skin cancer, and you better believe all of us former sun goddesses are out dressing and lathering our children as if they are headed for a safari in the Sahara Desert. But, somehow the thought of protecting my own skin has always been far from my mind … until now. Besides exposure to the sun, I did some research on wrinkles and their causes and found them almost laughable. First of all, wrinkles are a byproduct of aging. So that’s a gimme, there’s no stopping aging no matter what Neutrogena tells you. But some of the other factors that experts speculate
contribute to the formation of wrinkles include worrying, frowning, eating unhealthy meals, lack of exercise, erratic sleep patterns, not getting enough sleep and stress. So, boys and girls, the list of risk factors for wrinkles and premature aging essentially defines our lives as parents as we know it. Break out those needles during naptime, it’s time to start throwing Botox parties STAT. That’s a joke. I hate needles. As the days went by after my wrinkle discovery, I began to feel less and less horrified about them. First of all, no matter what our culture’s odd obsession with airbrushed alien skin, wrinkles are normal and inevitable. Aging is normal and inevitable. Second, I’m getting older and I may be the first woman to admit this, but I like getting older. Sure, my younger years were sunkissed with adventure and spontaneity, but I like the woman I see staring back at me in the mirror today. She is more confident, she loves better and she is more compassionate than she once was. And my hope is, 10 years from now, I will have learned to love even better and learned even deeper compassion. I’ll probably even have the wrinkles to prove it. So, as you can see, I adequately talked myself off the proverbial cliff when it comes to clear signs of aging. I like to view them now as mere evidential lines of wisdom. I do, however, wear sunscreen on my face everyday now. I’m sure my 40-year-old self and my future phone photos will thank me.

I was at the bar recently when I saw a guy and girl making out. It took a second for me to realize it was my friend’s wife. We haven’t spoken in a while, but I feel like I should message him about it or something, right?
I’ll be blunt - I love hanging out with my friend, but I hate his girlfriend. Like, I can’t stand her. Do I have to be around her? Can’t we just ask him to hang out?
Lately at work it seems my entire team is pouring more and more work on me. It’s like no one else is doing anything. How can I professionally tell them to help me out?

of the recession where unemployment was excusable. Now, not only are we expected to have a job, but it seems like we are being asked to pull double duty. I swear, if my co-workers at the pizza joint ride me one more time for taking my twice an hour ‘product sample’ break, I’m out of there.

JW: You should subtly call her out. Maybe write into a local monthly publication and hope that she sees it or that he sees it. Then in the answer, the advice giver can shame her for being easy and a cheater, and then when the husband reads it he’ll be all fired up and drop her. Bravo.
JT: I would definitely stay out of it. You don’t know what the situation is, they could very well be separated. Even if not, it would only enter you into their drama.
JW: GFs are the worst! Always raining on fun nights out, trying to lure my friends back to the den of iniquity super early. And because the guy has a... well... he’s a guy, he’ll just go with her. The worst! I say just mail her in a crate to Abu Dhabi, like Garfield would constantly try to do to Nermal.
JT: This is tough. If it’s a group of people, it’s only human decency to invite the girlfriend. But that doesn’t mean you can’t hang out with just him, either. Just say “guys only” or try to subtly be clear that you’re inviting him, not the couple. You should be able to have alone time.

JW: The old ‘reply to all’ while leaving their original requests in the thread below usually calls them out. Just make sure to Cc in the boss. Or slash tires. Either one has worked for me.
JT: Unfortunately this tends to happen in teams. Do you volunteer to take on the task because no one else has spoken up? Nice people get stuck doing things because they speak up. Maybe let others take it on, or if they try to stick it on you just tell them you’re working on the other project and need to delegate the task to someone else. They should understand.

“Once you start doing it, you lose yourself in the momentum, in the flow and the next thing you know, you’re not thinking about all the people looking at you, you’re not thinking about deadlines and to-do lists, you’re just having fun and it’s like being a kid again.”
SPINCHRONICITY Slowly, but surely, hooping is gaining momentum in the Hills. For most, spinning a hula-hoop around our waists was once a common pastime. Fast-forward a couple decades and hooping has become a legitimate exercise – one that will leave you feeling like a kid again. Amber Waldburger, owner of Spinchronicity – a Spearfishbased company offering both handmade hoops and weekly classes – brought hooping to western South Dakota two years ago. While it’s been slow to catch on in the hills, Waldburger, who’s been hooked on hooping for five years, sees interest growing. “It’s not as absurd as it seemed when I first got here, but once it catches on, it’s like wildfire,” she said. First, we need to get over that tendency to act like grownups. “We’re just taught, as adults, to be reserved and to be appropriate,” said Waldburger. “When you get in a hula hoop, you have to wiggle sometimes really fast, sometimes really goofy, your butt’s in the air and letting that guard down and allowing yourself to have fun again is a huge part of finding yourself, because you’re no longer trying to force yourself into this little image that you’re supposed to be as an adult.” And with grown-up hooping, comes grown-up hoops. The equipment is a bit heavier, the diameter has increased, and the hoop itself is thicker – all improvements that ultimately make hooping easier than you might remember. “I’ve had so many moms and kids tell me that they’ve never been able to hoop before, and then they can hoop now because Submitted Images.
we have the right size and the right weight,” said Waldburger, who likens the experience to giving participants “a little piece of their childhood they thought they lost.” Waldburger offers hooping classes in Spearfish and Deadwood a couple times a week. Class starts slow, with students leaning on their hoop like a ballet bar. Once everyone’s warmed up and comfortable, Waldburger progresses the class through a series of squats and lunges with the hoop spinning around their waste, and finally – the toughest part – Waldburger leads students through the same set of moves with the hoop spinning in reverse. Whether you feel wonky, weird or just plain uncoordinated, Waldburger warns not to stress. “The fun thing about hooping is everybody, even an expert hooper, is going to drop the hoop when they learn something new. So everybody is just kind of having fun,” she said. When the hoop stops spinning, expect to feel the effects in your upper thighs, butt and abs. It also works all of the little muscles along your spine and is excellent for overall alignment. And most importantly, it’s a great way to let your guard down and have a good time. “Once you start doing it, you lose yourself in the momentum, in the flow and the next thing you know, you’re not thinking about all the people looking at you, you’re not thinking about deadlines and to-do lists, you’re just having fun and it’s like being a kid again,” said Waldburger.

HEALTH PROFILE
ALLOWED: Free range or grass-fed meat, fish, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables and nuts. NOT ALLOWED: Grains, dairy, legumes, added sugar and added salt.
THE PALEO DIET Number one rule of the Paleo Diet: If a caveman couldn’t have eaten it, you can’t eat it, either. “The nice thing about the diet is it makes you eliminate all processed foods. Most processed foods are going to have added sugar and added salt,” said Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian Annie Ailts. “Since you eliminate those, you’re probably going to increase your fruit and vegetable intake. It usually leads to weight loss, because you’re consuming fewer calories.” Another attribute of the Paleo plan is there’s no calorie counting. “You’re just eliminating foods and then eating as
much as you want of the foods that are allowed,” said Ailts. However, it can be a difficult diet to maintain. Grains, dairy and legumes are part of a balanced diet, so someone on Paleo could miss out on essential nutrients like fiber, calcium and vitamin D. Ailts suggests trying Paleo for a couple of weeks at most, as a way to break from processed foods, but to add a multivitamin. She also suggests consulting a doctor, who can refer a dietitian to help develop an eating plan.
