LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

DENISE DEPAOLO @ d en i s ed epao lo

Whether it’s gathering around a bonfire, casting a line off the dock, or unwinding with a beer on the patio, South Dakota’s collective happiness at returning to the outdoors is palpable this month. We are not an indoor people. We belong out, exploring our state’s gorgeous landscapes, filling our lungs with fresh air, and gazing at the endless starry skies.

Having spent most of March and April at home with my newborn, I am particularly excited to feel the sun on my skin again and introduce my daughter to the simple pleasures of the world beyond. Because of her, I will no

We also head to Rapid City in this issue to learn about Frühlingsfest. This first big outdoor festival of the season combines two of my favorite things - locally-made artisan products and craft beer, which is basically poetry in a glass.

I hope that each of you finds beauty in your surroundings this month. Leave your car and walk to lunch if you can. Leave your phone in your pocket. Put off the housework for a couple of hours and hike a local trail. No matter where you are in South Dakota, the natural world is just around the corner, waiting to fill the soul.

DESIGNED TO BE

LOVED Somehow, she makes everything better.

A scraped knee, a broken friendship, a wounded heart. One smile from mom and the world is a little brighter.

On Mother’s Day, let her know just how much that matters.

At Faini Designs Jewelry Studio, you’ll find colorful, fine jewelry from prominent designers that she’ll love for years to come – but never as much as she loves you.

A CELEBRATION OF SPRING

BY JORDAN SMITH

"THIS EVENT IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND THE DAY IN DOWNTOWN RAPID CITY AND ENJOY THE FRESHNESS OF SPRINGTIME."

F

rühlingsfest is German for Springfest. It is an annual spring beer tasting held in Rapid City’s Main Street Square in which the highlight is seasonal beers, specifically beers brewed locally. The May 21 event will pair the tasting with a spring market where attendees can shop handmade crafts and goods at their leisure while enjoying a locally crafted beer.

“The idea for Frühlingsfest is a classic example of making lemonade when life hands you lemons,” said Main Street Square executive director Megan Whitman.

When Bierbörse was cancelled due to the October 2013 Atlas blizzard, ticket holders were disappointed to miss sampling brews at the festival and called for a substitute.

There were so many requests to hold a one-time tasting event that the Main Street Square staff felt compelled to satisfy the craft beer enthusiasts in the community, so Frühlingsfest came to fruition.

Bierbörse is a broad craft beer tasting event in which you can sample beers distributed locally, nationally, and internationally. “We felt it was important to offer something new, so instead we took a local approach to differentiate Frühlingsfest from Bierbörse and concentrate on highlighting local breweries,” explained Whitman. “The event was an instant success and had a life of its own, so instead of offering it just once, we made it a permanent part of the signature event schedule.”

There will be more than 30 local beers to sample, along with a festive atmosphere full of acoustic sounds, beer tasting stations sprinkled throughout the plaza, and distinctive vendor booths selling handcrafted goods all surrounded by the many shops and restaurants in downtown Rapid City.

Attendees don’t have to be interested in beer to attend this festival. According to Whitman, “With the many booths featuring unique crafts and specialty items, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Not to mention the Bud Light Beverage Garden has all your refreshment needs covered from water, soda, beer, to even wine.”

She continued, “This event is the perfect opportunity to spend the day in downtown Rapid City and enjoy the freshness of springtime. There is something to do all day downtown during Frühlingsfest. Families can shop the many specialty booths on the square or stores downtown, enjoy live music from the oval lawn, grab a cup of coffee, have lunch, or even enjoy ice cream all in one day.”

Frühlingsfest not only celebrates springtime in our area, it heralds the approach of summer activities and events.

This is the community’s chance to gather once again in anticipation of all that summer will bring to Main Street Square and throughout the Black Hills.

16 // MAY 2016

Frühlingsfest is May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are sold for the tasting portion of the event, but a ticket isn’t needed to attend this free festival. For more info, visit mainstreetsquarerc.com or call (605) 716-7979.

THE LOFT LIFE DOWNTOWN SIOUX FALLS ISN’T JUST FOR SHOPPING AND NIGHTLIFE. IT’S A VIBRANT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL. EACH YEAR, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE OPTING TO CALL THE CITY’S CENTER HOME. DTSF INC. COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR BRIENNE MANER EXPLAINS HOW THE 9TH ANNUAL DOWNTOWN LOFT TOUR IS CHANCE TO SEE HOW RESIDENTS ARE CREATING UNIQUE, LAVISH LIVING ENVIRONMENTS, AND TO DISCOVER THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO SUIT ALL PRICE RANGES AND LIFESTYLE NEEDS.

Running is for

Everyone Join the fun!

Do you have to be in the market for a new home to enjoy this event?

Brienne Maner: Absolutely not. This is a self-guided tour and allows prospective residents and those who are just curious or are looking for decorating ideas to dream and spur ideas.

What are a couple of this spring's can't-miss lofts?

BM: The Jones 421 Lofts are creating a lot of buzz, as development continues on North Phillips Avenue. When these lofts are finished later this year, they are going to be hot property in a prime Uptown location. Jeff and Sheila Hazard continue to dream big and reinvest in our downtown in a big way. Legacy Real Estate's historic Dillinger Building will also be part of the tour, which will provide a historic context as well as a glimpse inside an absolutely gorgeous property. Lloyd Companies will also be showing their fun and modern lofts, including Phillips Lofts and Uptown Exchange. It’s a nice, well-rounded tour.

How has this event been received in the past?

BM: We set attendance records in 2015 and the event has gotten so popular that we added a Fall Loft Tour and will continue on this year with two. They both coincide with the Parade of Homes, and the fall event is the same day as the Sidewalk Arts Festival and Germanfest.

Any tips for first-timers to get the most out of the experience?

BM: Come early and take your time. The event gives you plenty of time to view the lofts, have lunch, do a little shopping and even take in some of the beautiful free art that SculptureWalk provides each spring.

The Spring Downtown Loft Tour is Saturday, May 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at Shriver Square. Tickets are $5, kids 12 and under are free. For more info, visit dtsf.com or call (605) 338-4009.

BY SUNIL YAPA | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD VICTOR HAS JUST WOKEN UP INSIDE HIS TENT. HIS TENT IS UNDER AN OVERPASS. THE OVERPASS IS

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

IN SEATTLE.

It's November 1999, and Victor has been wandering the streets for three years, ever since he left home as a teenager.

And Victor only has one goal today.

He's going to sell as much weed as possible. See, Victor came into possession of a rather large bag of weed. He didn't exactly come into possession of this weed in the most honest way (if there is an honest way) but he's going to sell it.

With the money, he's going to buy a plane ticket and be long gone. Maybe he'd get down to Mexico. Maybe he'd get down to the Caribbean.

But when Victor emerges from his tent, he realizes that this is

not a normal day in Seattle.

This is the day that Seattle exploded in protest of the WTO Ministerial Conference.

Fifty thousand people took to the streets in an attempt to shut the conference down.

It seemed like all the hippies, environmentalists, and basic militant anarchists were all in town that day.

And all Victor sees is 50,000 customers.

As the day descends into chaos, we'll meet six other people who will have their lives changed forever.

Police Chief Bishop, Victor's estranged father, will have to make the call to start gassing the crowds.

Two non-violent protesters will have their principles tested as the violence of the day is brought to them.

HE REALIZES THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL DAY IN SEATTLE. Two police officers, on edge and in the middle of the action, will have to try and keep their cool as their patience is tested.

And finally, the financial minister of Sri Lanka, whose life is put in danger as he sets out for his meeting with the President of the United States.

A captivating film about faking the Apollo 11 mission filled with innovative tricks and provocative ideas.

Once word spreads that the space program may be jeopardizing John F. Kennedy’s target date the commander wants to shut down Operation Zipper, but the filmmaking team comes up with a plan to save their jobs and fix NASA’s problem. Dubbed Operation Avalanche, the team offers to fake the moon landing using the same special effects used in movies. Their first task is to visit the set of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey; since Kubrick’s film involves landing on the moon, why not use his techniques to create their illusion?

OPERATION AVALANCHE REVIEW BY DUSTIN JANSICK READ FULL REVIEW: WAY2IN.DE/226

If you took the guerilla-style shooting from Escape from Tomorrow and the faux-documentary approach from Computer Chess, you might have something close to what Matt Johnson creates in Operation Avalanche, a captivating film about faking the Apollo 11 mission. Shot illegally (though staying within Fair Rights), Johnson manages to film in NASA headquarters by pretending to be making a documentary. What better place to film a conspiracy film about the moon landing than NASA itself?

There’s a meta element to Operation Avalanche, because the characters in the story employ the same tactic as the real filmmakers. Set during the space race in the ‘60s, America was worried about the possibility of a Russian spy stealing their secrets to get to the moon first. Enter Operation Zipper, a small film crew assigned to pose as clueless documentarians to find the spy. They go around conducting interviews with NASA employees and tap the phone lines of

Operation Avalanche wonderfully blurs the line between reality and fiction by splicing together new footage with archival footage, creating a similar effect famously used in Forrest Gump. Here, they insert themselves asking for an autograph with the real Stanley Kubrick that looks so authentic it’s scary. Even though the film was shot digitally, cinematographers Andrew Appelle and Jared Raab accurately replicate the visual look and feel of the era. One trick used to create that effect was grading the film, converting it to a 16mm print, and then converting it back to digital. They also film one of the best car chase scenes you’ll see in any film, independent or otherwise.

Most found footage and/or covertly shot films tend to rely on the gimmick of the filming technique, so their narrative takes a back seat. But with Operation Avalanche, the meta format fits effortlessly with the story. It’s an inventive film that works not just because Johnson managed to sneak into NASA and film, but because he crafts an enthralling story to go along with it. Operation Avalanche is an energetic film, filled with innovative tricks and provocative ideas to please anyone looking for an amusing ride, especially those obsessed with conspiracies.

VALLEY OF LOVE It’s only taken 35 years for Isabelle Huppert and Gerard Depardieu to reunite on screen, but anyone expecting fireworks between the two French acting titans will come away befuddled by Valley of Love. What begins as a two-hander dealing with the grief of two parents in Death Valley gradually transforms into something more surreal and mysterious, a sort of Lynchian turn that tends to happen with films utilizing desert locations. It’s a switch that fascinates more than it satisfies, turning the questions surrounding loss into literal (and increasingly bizarre) mysteries.

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE First-time feature director Dan Trachtenberg milks a simple, succulent premise for everything it’s worth in 10 Cloverfield Lane, a quasi-sequel to 2008’s found-footage urban thriller Cloverfield. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays our resourceful, sharp-minded hero, who, after a wicked car crash, wakes up trapped in a subterranean survival bunker with a lumbering, creepy captor (John Goodman) who claims the outside world has been reduced to a war-torn, uninhabitable wasteland. It’s a powder keg of a movie with an old-school approach to storytelling that’s interested not in philosophy or meaning, but simply in the events unfolding right in front

SOUTH DAKOTA’S ORIGINAL CRAFT BEER BAR & HOME OF GANDY DANCER BREW WORKS EST. 2007

In his latest movie, Knight of Cups, Terrence Malick asks us to join him for the third time in a row on a journey through the meandering thoughts of people lost in life, confessing their innermost moral quandaries to the cosmos as they stumble and crawl across God’s green earth and bask in heavenly sunlight. This time the setting is Los Angeles, photographed in all its concrete, Art-Deco grandeur by trusted Malick collaborator (and Oscar darling) Emmanuel Lubezki. We follow and listen in on the thoughts of fading movie star Rick (Christian Bale) and, occasionally, his famous friends, as Malick lays out another unbearably thin narrative that’s as deviously frustrating as a 500-piece puzzle with 450 pieces missing.

Another factor is because Dave was busy working with his father on building the home themselves.

“My husband designed it – he did the blueprints. Basically we loved our house in Sioux Falls, but it was a split-level. So we pretty much took our exact house and turned it into a ranch,” she said. “Other than the [kitchen] cabinets they did all the millwork; stained every block, everything,” Lori said.

The kitchen is wide open and shares the dining room along with leading right into the living room.

Said kitchen cabinets were a large inspiration for the rest of the home, which Lori requested Dave to match the exact grey look throughout the house.

“This was a process,” she said pointing to the cabinets. “I picked those cabinets, which I fell in love with, and asked if we could match all the trim in the house to that. They were like ‘that’s a paint, a glaze, a stain – that’s a four-step process.’ I always come up

So what did Dave do when they needed a way to organize school papers and office supplies? He built a “messaging center” in the mudroom, which seems like it could be the size of a guest room. This is one room they knew they needed to get right when building.

“He actually built the bench in a couple of hours. It’s kind of sad,” Lori joked.

Mud in the Dykstra house is no laughing matter, though.

“This is probably our most used room here,” Lori noted. “I’m sure it’s still dirty even though we swept it and mopped it.”

Dave continued, “That’s why we picked the color tile we did. We’re not dirty people, but living on a farm with two kids – you get a lot of dirt in and out so this doesn’t look dirty when it is dirty.”

The other prized room that helps eliminate a mess is Dave’s personal mudroom that enters the house directly from the “cow yard.” Complete with a full bath, he can shower before entering the basement. A giant handle was installed next to the door to help keep balance as he removes necessary items for the dirty work.

“Mud boots are tough to get off,” Dave said.

“It’s great after a night of a few drinks, too,” Lori laughed.

“They bought that land but kept farming here,” Lori said. “They have land that is three miles away and we were going to build there so we weren’t on top of our in-laws, but they advised that if we want to farm that we won’t want to check on the cows miles away.”

Lori continued, “At first I was a little hesitant because that’s very close to your family, but it’s great.

They’re always respectful and knock… but now that I think of it when we go to their house we don’t knock. It’s something about your parents’ house I guess.”

Other highlights in the Dykstra five-bedroom home include the master bathroom (including an open shower with a claw foot bathtub), Lori's walk-in closet (large enough for a center island and her own washer and dryer), and their adorable new golden retriever puppy, Toby, who greeted us as we exited.

BREAKING INTO COFFEE

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

Many of us are dependent on a flavorful, satisfying cup of coffee to start our day, but not all realize that a lot of work goes into the morning ritual. Corey Gerlach and Wes Eisenhauer have a passion for good coffee, and the resources to execute a successful business to produce it, starting THE BREAKS COFFEE ROASTING COMPANY. “We're putting out a very high quality product with responsibly-sourced beans that are meticulously cared for and served. We're really a quality over quantity driven business,” explained Eisenhauer. “We want to put out a fantastic product, and we want you to be excited every time you drink it.”

Both members of Sioux Falls-based bands Soulcrate and Later Babes, Gerlach and Eisenhauer knew they would work well together from their success in making music for over a decade. With similar passions for coffee and creating a quality product, they trusted the flawless timing in the endeavor and purchased a building that would house their coffee roasting company, along with a handful of other businesses.

“It seemed like a logical direction to go,” described Gerlach. “I've been roasting coffee for a long time. This building gave us a space to do it on our own.”

While the The Breaks provides the aromatic, welcoming scent of coffee and an endless source of energy throughout the day, the building purchased also houses Wes Eisenhauer Photography, Passenger Productions film company, a rehearsal space for Soulcrate and Later Babes, as well as Eisenhauer's brother Dan’s photography space.

“The creative juices are constantly flowing here,” said Gerlach. “That's the beauty of this place. Things are always happening here, people are constantly hustling and creating. That's what I want to be surrounded by.”

Both Gerlach and Eisenhauer used their background in music to educate themselves on how to open a business, buying the building in October 2015. A short five months later, they put the finishing touches on renovations and are well into coffee roasting.

“He would never acknowledge it, but I think Corey is one of the most talented people in coffee in the city,” Eisenhauer proudly stated.

“He's the talent behind the roasting, while I focus more on how to market it. We bring different things to the table, and that's why this works so well.”

The coffee beans are bought from an importer, coming into the roasting company colored a light shade of green. With years of experience and a natural skill in the craft, Gerlach pours the beans into a roaster heated up to 400 degrees, roasting anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes before being dropped into a pan to cool before packaging. One of

their favorite aspects of The Breaks is the ever-changing flavors that come through and leave the door, with beans coming from a variety of regions around the world.

“Coffee is seasonal,” Eisenhauer explained. “So we keep a rotation on things. It keeps things fresh and it makes it more interesting. We always want something new for people try.”

Local consumers don't have to go far to try The Breaks’ freshly roasted coffee. Selective in selling their product, Gerlach and Eisenhauer initiated their business idea after solidifying a partnership with downtown Sioux Falls eatery M.B. Haskett. “They have fantastic food, and there's a lot of care that goes into making it. We knew it was a great fit for us.”

With their high quality ingredients and delicatessen-style menu, a cup of freshly roasted coffee from The Breaks pairs perfectly with the food selection at M.B. Haskett. Bags of the packaged product are also available for sale.

Right now, M.B. Haskett is the only brick-and-mortar location where The Breaks’ coffee beans are available, but an online store makes

“THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE. THINGS ARE ALWAYS HAPPENING HERE, PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY HUSTLING AND CREATING. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BY.”

the product readily available. A subscription option includes a scheduled delivery of The Breaks’ varieties, encouraging coffee lovers to expand their palate.

Eisenhauer references the vast variety of coffee flavors available, claiming, “I'm still trying to figure out my favorite kind. This has been such a learning experience for me.”

With his experience in coffee roasting establishing a solid foundation for Gerlach's knowledge in the art, his favorite flavor of coffee fluctuates throughout the day. “For me, it depends on the day and the time of day. Some days I really like Ethiopian coffee, and other days I really want a good Peru or Guatemalan blend. Every region is so different in flavor. That's what makes it fun.”

While expanding their business is a long term goal, Gerlach and Eisenhauer are in no rush to grow, focusing instead on developing a quality product.

“While we hope to grow, our home base is Sioux Falls. We're representing Sioux Falls, and we're proud of being from South Dakota.

We're working on growing from here,” said Eisenhauer.

THERE IS NO MORE PRODUCTIVE FORM OF MUSCLE-POWERED TRAVEL THAN CYCLING. A 2012 article on popularmechanics.com cites the example of a cyclist versus a pedestrian, pointing out that if the two use the same amount of energy to travel a distance, the cyclist would travel three-times as fast, and would expend six-times less metabolic energy. Basically, riding our bikes is hella efficient, and in South Dakota’s two largest cities, there’s never been a better time to be on two wheels.

I USED TO LIVE EAST OF TOWN AND I’D JUMP ON THE BIKE TRAIL TO COME INTO WORK, AND I LOVED THAT PART OF THE RIDE IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE THERE’S NO CAR TRAFFIC.

Chad Pickard, owner of Sioux Falls-based Spoke-N-Sport, says that although the state remains deeply entrenched as a car culture, a great deal of progress has been made to accommodate bicyclists. A big part of that is the completion of Sioux Falls’ bike trail in recent years, and city leaders’ decision to view it as a legitimate route for daily transportation.

“For Sioux Falls it’s awesome because it’s a facility people can get on and not have to worry about traffic,” he explained.

“There’s relatively no stop signs on the bike trail. Most of it is wide enough to navigate easily and feel secure with your bike handling skills. I know a lot of people who live on the west side but work on the east side, and as they travel across the city they jump on the bike trail for a portion. I used to live east of town and I’d jump on the bike trail to come into work, and I loved that part of the ride in the morning because there’s no car traffic.”

Kamp Kirsch, a partner and manager at Two Wheeler Dealer, says his decision to move to Sioux Falls four years ago was influenced by the presence of a strong year-round bike culture.

“It was small four years ago, but it’s certainly grown,” said Kirsch. “I’ve seen a lot of people getting into fat bikes and winter riding. That’s really cool. That’s not super common in the country right now, so the fact that it’s happening here means people have a different mindset towards biking. It gets cold and super windy. It’s not always fun to ride your bike here. In fact, a lot of times it’s not, so seeing people out there doing that every day is really cool to see.”

Although the city has been awarded a bronze ranking as a “Bike Friendly Community” by The League of American Bicyclists, both Pickard and Kirsch admit Sioux Falls isn’t perfect when it comes to cyclists and motorists coexisting. Pickard believes education is key, starting in elementary school. He fondly remembers bike rodeos and other events centered around bike safety. For his kids, that hasn’t been part of their school experience, and he thinks that’s a missed opportunity. Another component, he says, is awareness on the part of drivers. It can be as simple as looking in the rearview mirror before opening a car door, or taking an extra few seconds before pulling out onto a roadway.

...IT’S HAPPENING HERE MEANS PEOPLE HAVE A DIFFERENT MINDSET TOWARDS BIKING.

“Vehicle traffic is not looking for a cyclist moving 10 miles per hour,” Pickard explained. "They’re looking for walking traffic moving two or three miles an hour. And reality is a cyclist is probably going to be moving closer to 15 miles per hour or faster, just because a bike is a very efficient mode of transportation.”

Kirsch has been impressed with the efforts of groups like Falls Area Bicyclists (FAB), which push for increased education, visibility, and overall safety. But, he says, there is still room for improvement.

“Cyclists have a right to be on the road and a lot of people don’t get that. They think that we should be on the sidewalk, which isn’t necessarily any more safe than the road. And the ‘three foot, six foot’ law that’s currently in place, I feel like people have been following that, but not all the time. Just that extra couple feet of space is going to save a ton of lives,” Kirsch said, in reference to a state law passed last year making

three feet the minimum for passing on roads with speed limits under 35 miles per hour, and six feet on roads over 35.

On the other side of the state, bike advocates are working to make Rapid City more bike friendly as well. One big change has been the addition of South Dakota’s first B-cycle stations. They make it possible to check out a bike for $5 over a 24-hour period (or $65 for a full year of rentals, which includes B-cycle stations in other cities).

“We have a station here at The Square and a station here at the (South Dakota) School of Mines (and Technology),” explained Karlee Moore, marketing manager for Main Street Square and Destination Rapid City, “We want to get the kids downtown and people out to the School of Mines, because there’s so much going on out there between sporting events and the Museum of Geology. There’s just a lot to capitalize on with that.”

Moore says a lot of the bike rentals have been by professionals heading to a park over their lunch hour, or downtown residents running quick errands. She expects to see more stations pop up throughout town, making bike sharing an efficient way to explore the city, like she’s already seeing in places like Minneapolis and Denver.

Creating a more bike-friendly community is a priority for Rapid City leaders, as well. Already, work is being done to improve safety in crosswalks on higher speed streets surrounding downtown. And, Moore explains, a new master plan unveiled this spring focuses on making the city center more livable, and by extension, more bikeable.

“We’re looking at more bike lanes, and to maybe widen sidewalks. We just recently redid the crosswalk between 6th street and the park. Downtown is really on the verge of getting a few more lofts, and downtown living is picking up,” she said. “It's huge for the biking community. If you’re living downtown, you’re going to bike to wherever you can, which is the goal.”

Whether it’s in a downtown setting or on South Dakota’s highways, getting more bikes on the roads, Kirsch says, is a key to increasing safety.

“I know a lot of people who ride to work and they say over time that cars get further and further out, because typically those people are also driving the same route home and they’re being more aware you’re on the road. And the more cyclists they see, the better.”

Although the prospect of ditching four wheels for two can be daunting, participating in group activities like Bike to Work Week are low pressure opportunities to try it out. This year, it runs May 16-20, and will include bikecentered events and friendly competitions to see which workplace can clock the most miles.

“I like to encourage people to ride that week just to see what it’s like,” Kirsch

said. “I think people have kind of a negative mindset when they think about riding to work. They think it’s going to be a pain, but just the energy you get from it, that’s why I encourage people. The best thing I do to start my day is ride to work. Every day I ride to work is better than the day I didn’t ride to work, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.”

Pickard agrees, and believes that getting out of the car and onto a bike can change how we see the world. “Just to get on a bike and run around town, grab some food, run some errands, it’s nice to not be restricted by a vehicle.You don’t ever see people in cars pull up to a stoplight and start talking.You just don’t. But on a bike trail if people are stopped at an area together, it’s always like, ‘Hey, how’s your day going?’ You see the cage of the car disappearing and it tends to create a bike community that we really, really like.” 

605 BIKES TO WORK Biking to work is lovely way to start and end the day, but admittedly, no one on our team has made the commitment. Until now. 605 Magazine publisher Alana Snyder, sales and marketing director John Snyder, and Dainty Obsessions sales manager Emily Swan decided to to ditch their cars for a week. Here are their impressions of commuting on two wheels.

BEFORE YOU START...

DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CYCLING EMILY: The last time I rode a bike was my sophomore year in college in 2004, when I’d bike to class from my off-campus apartment.

ALANA: I love to bike... three times a year.

Every summer I tell myself I'll start biking everywhere and then it just doesn't happen.

JOHN: I don’t bike a lot. I wish I did more of it.

Getting a new bike at the end of the season last year might mean that I can utilize the trails more.

HAVE YOU EVER BIKED TO WORK? EMILY: No ALANA: No JOHN: Once DISTANCE FROM YOUR HOME TO WORK: EMILY: 6.4 miles

ALANA: I've thought about how cool it would be to be that ambitious.

as long as driving, so I had to wake up earlier than normal for my commute to work and also lost about a half hour post-work.

WHAT IS MOST EXCITING ABOUT RIDING TO WORK?

JOHN: The energy that I had to use to get there was rough in the wind. Really rough, so I’d need to pick my days better.

EMILY: I live a rather sedentary lifestyle and have a hard time finding time to exercise, and since I need to get to and from work anyway, why not get a workout and bike?

WHAT ARE YOU MOST NERVOUS ABOUT?

ARE YOU READY TO BE A REGULAR BIKE COMMUTER?

JOHN: Being tired and sweaty. Not having a car over lunch.

EMILY: I would consider biking to work while the temperatures are warm and the humidity in the morning is low. I think I’d be a mess at work if I had to bike through summer humidity.

NOW THAT YOU’RE DONE…

JOHN: I will occasionally. I just don’t think I’m an everyday biker. But I will bike more than I used to, so who knows?

BEST THING ABOUT RIDING TO WORK?

ALANA: I would like to bike to work on a Friday when our days are more laid back!

EMILY: I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment each day and was also happy to get in some physical activity.

JOHN: The quiet and the solitude fostered a nice time to think about super deep stuff.

Getting a workout was great. After I got there, I appreciated it.

ALANA: What I discovered is that riding my bike to work sadly doesn't really fit well with my job, personally, because I have to be able to be at meetings and events that can be across town and/ or are back to back most days and my day changes at the drop of a hat.

ALANA AND JOHN: 5.5 miles HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED RIDING TO WORK ON A REGULAR BASIS?

ALANA: My least favorite part was having to plan my day around having a bike.

HOW ABOUT THE MOST CHALLENGING THING? EMILY: Biking to and from work takes me twice

DO YOU CONSIDER SIOUX FALLS A BIKE-FRIENDLY CITY? EMILY: I found it to be bike-friendly until I got into downtown. Without having a dedicated bike lane, I was sometimes anxious that vehicles wouldn’t see me or would plow into me if they were turning right on a red. The residential streets I biked on had a bike spray painted on the road, so I at least felt a bit validated mingling with cars there.

JOHN: I live in close proximity to the bike trails, so that is a great resource. I love riding them recreationally.

ALANA: I do! But it's so spread out that if you need to be places during work hours it can be difficult.

JIM’S BURGERS

12 0 0 S M I N N E S O TA AV E , S I O U X FA L L S , S D 5 710 5

BY DENISE DEPAOLO

“I always say, 'Eat clean to stay fit; have a burger to stay sane.'” — Gigi Hadid Sioux City-based Jim’s Burgers recently opened its first location in Sioux Falls. The restaurant, which is the chain’s sixth, can be found in a former KFC building on Minnesota Avenue. Having never been to a Jim’s location before, I had no idea what to expect when I stopped by for lunch with three friends on a Wednesday.

We got in line and tried to take in the extensive, and somewhat scattered, menu before we got to the cashier. The one expectation I did have walking in was that the menu would be largely burger-based (of course, because of the name, but also because of the telltale burger scent wafting through the parking lot). This, I found, was not the case.

While the burgers listed were mostly variations on popular basics (a patty melt, bacon cheeseburger, Western burger, chili cheese burger, etc.), the sandwich menu was actually pretty vast, including options like a tuna melt, philly, ham sandwich, and hot dogs. But sandwiches are just a small fraction of the offerings, which include a rather wide variety of Mexican foods, fried seafood dinners, breakfast items, and salads.

As mentioned, there were four people in our party, so we tried to represent as much of the menu as possible on our table. When I reached the cashier, I ordered a patty melt combo, plus two tacos - one carnitas and one asada. I was given a paper ticket with my order number on it, and handed my root beer, which came in a startlingly small cup - the size one might get for water at most places.

There was a sign posted explaining that everyone was entitled to one free refill. At first, this seemed strange, but then I noticed the prices.

They’re actually really reasonable. Perhaps that’s why.

We sat down at a booth and waited for our food. A glance around the dining room revealed a clean, if unremarkable, space with navy and burgundy booths and motel-style artwork. After five or 10 minutes, our lunch was delivered to the table.

I started with the fries, which were just north of lukewarm. The seasoning on them was really good and rendered additional salt unnecessary. I can imagine that straight out of the fryer, they would have been pretty great, but once I was beyond the seasoned salt exterior, the texture was a bit flaccid and starchy.

42 // MAY 2016

My patty melt was tasty, but really, it was more like a grilled cheese with a bit of beef in the middle. The sandwich was comprised of perfectly toasted white bread, melted American cheese, and grilled onions, all of which overshadowed the thin little burger in the middle.

BOTH OF MY FRIENDS WHO ORDERED CORN DOGS FANCY THEMSELVES EXPERTS IN THE GENRE. BOTH WERE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THE ONES THEY GOT AT JIM’S. Next, I moved on to my tacos. Each was a double corn tortilla with meat and pico de gallo, in typical street taco fashion. They were both really good, particularly the carnitas, which is roasted pork. Both the pork and steak were tender and the pico was well balanced, with the onions, tomato, and cilantro all present, but not overpowering. The only thing that would have made them better would have been a bit of lime.

Since we wanted to try as wide a swath of the Jim’s menu as possible, everyone at the table ordered a couple of things. This included the chicken strip dinner, served with fries, onion rings, and salad, two corn dogs, the sausage and bacon breakfast burritos, and an order of taquitos.

I tried one of the taquitos, which were really crispy, even after sitting for 15 minutes or so. The shredded beef filling was subtly seasoned, but when eaten with a bit of the sour cream and pico de gallo on the plate, they were really quite tasty. The breading on the chicken strips was thick, crunchy, and well-seasoned. The burritos were jam-packed with potatoes and eggs. My friend with the sausage burrito was excited to find that the meat inside was served in full links. The bacon inside the other burrito was crispy and plentiful.

Both of my friends who ordered corn dogs fancy themselves experts in the genre. Both were pretty excited about the ones they got at Jim’s.

Apparently, the batter tasted homemade, a bit savory, and a bit sweet.

Bourbon’s, Beers, & Bites to eat.

With 24 craft beers on tap, you can take your TapHouse experience camping, picnic or just home.

We are home of the 32oz canned Crowler, where the beer stays fresh for years.

One said that it tasted like the fair when they were a kid.

If that’s not glowing praise, I don’t know what is.

Bottom line: I’d eat here again. The fact that it has a drive-thru gives it a big leg up. Especially if I have a hankering for a corn dog and a taco and don’t want to face prying eyes.

T H E R E AL DE AL "MY MOM SAID I USED TO SNEAK HER LIPSTICK WHEN I WAS 4 AND APPLY IT BETTER THAN MOST ADULTS SHE KNEW."

REBECCA SWIFT HOMETOWN: YANKTON / AGE: 30

SPECIALTY: ESTHETICIAN/MAKEUP ARTIST

BY NATALIE SLIETER

46 // MAY 2016

REBECCA SWIFT has had a love for makeup ever since she was a little girl. This love has now become her career. When she isn’t doing bridal and prom makeup, she maintains the social media accounts for “Carter & June,” a

film project she did makeup for last summer in New Orleans. She is also working on completing a 100 Day Makeup Challenge, which she is chronicling on social media.

She does her makeup to look like celebrities, Disney characters, and other familiar faces.

When did you become interested in makeup?

Rebecca Swift: My mom said I used to sneak her lipstick when I was 4 and apply it better than most adults she knew. And I was always huge into painting and coloring. When I was a

munchkin I would grab a coloring book, flip open the first page, fill the lips in red, turn the page, fill in the lips, and so on. It was a pretty good indication I would eventually paint faces for a living.

Where did the idea of doing your makeup to look like celebrities come from?

RS: I took on the 100 Day Makeup Challenge for fun when I got back from filming in New Orleans. I actually ran out of wigs and happened to be a brunette, so I could easily slick back my hair and focus on facial structure and shadows I saw on faces rather than more theatrical makeup.

“With over 30 TVs, it’s the place to watch your favorite team!”

— Kyle Hanlon, Bartender

Has this helped launch your career even further?

RS: Absolutely. I'm now creating and monetizing tutorials on YouTube.

I've had several offers from major television networks for celeb transformations and reality shows. Since moving back to my hometown for the first time in 12 years, I'm focusing on enjoying my friends and family and have had to decline. I'm all traveled out for the time being, but in the near future I may consider occasionally traveling once again.

What has been your favorite celebrity makeup so far?

RS: It always changes, but I would have to say transforming into a White Walker from Game of Thrones was a favorite. I went to a few fast food restaurants in costume and got some fantastic reactions on film.

Totally worth it.

What kind of response have you gotten from others?

RS: Friends and family are always excited and sometimes a little creeped out, especially when they stop over to say hi and I'm in the middle of a transformation. But I love practical jokes, so sometimes I intentionally try to sneak up on them. I'm 100 percent sure the UPS employees think I'm a crazy person. The support from celebrities has been interesting. If one of them mentions my makeup transformations on social media, I usually try to recreate their faces. I was able to do that with Zooey Deschanel and Sofia Vergera. I still have to attempt Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Lopez.

When you aren't doing makeup, what can people find you doing?

RS: I'm usually painting or drawing or doing crafts with my daughters.

I'm a huge Pinterest junkie. I'm working on some music in my band called Rebecca and Patrick.

Where do you hope to be in five years? Ten years?

RS: In five years, I want to settle down and have a bigger family. I have two amazing little girls already, Logan, who’s 11, and Quin, who’s 8. I'd like a couple more. I'm such a homebody, so I'm pretty content creating and working from home, watching movies, and playing guitar. In 10 years, I'm hoping to work from home entirely by shooting makeup tutorial videos.

WH E N T H E D O C TOR SAYS

“ I T M IG H T B E … ”

BY TRACY KIRBY | IMAGES BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY Almost a year ago, we welcomed our second miracle baby into our family; our first son, Wes. We brought him home and smelled him and stared at him creepily like any doting parent will tell you we do. I relished doing his laundry (usually the bane of my existence) and folded and smoothed his tiny clothes like they were delicate treasures. Every time I saw his precious chest heave with breath, I prayed silent prayers of gratitude; he was finally here. Smiling. Eating.

Healthy. A tangible answer to so many prayers.

A couple weeks after he was born, I noticed a large white - what I thought to be - birthmark on his tummy and marveled that I hadn’t noticed it until then. Then, as I started to investigate, I found a few more sprinkled on his body. I just thought; well, he’s part Pacific Islander, part Caucasian, perhaps his skin is just having an identity crisis. And I moved on with my lifewith-a-newborn-caffeine-driven life.

At our four-month check-up, I pointed out the spots to our pediatrician and to my surprise, her look changed from bubbly well-baby check to serious investigative doctor face. My stomach dropped like I was falling 10 floors as the words came out of her mouth: “Well, these marks …

Mmm … It actually might be a sign of a certain genetic disorder …”

AHEM .

EXCU S E M E , CO M E AG AIN? And just like that, with three small words “It might be,” I tumbled into the abyss known as “the unknown.” I began to do what all our 48 // MAY 2016

doctors tell us NOT to do, which is go online and research. I confess. I directly disobeyed the doctor’s orders. In fact, I researched so hard, I should probably have my PhD by now. And what I learned was not pretty: The possible genetic disorder was a multi-system, incurable genetic disorder in which it is possible for the person to grow tumors in various areas of their body including the brain, heart, lungs, and eyes.

Suddenly, our whole world changed. We went from deliriously happy parents of a newborn, to frightened out of our minds, sleepless, internetcrazed humans. Ok, scratch that. I suppose I shouldn’t say “we.” My husband, as per norm, was the rational human being in our equation, remaining calm. I, on the other hand, stayed up at night staring at our son, trying to determine if every seemingly rogue movement was a seizure (a major sign of the disorder). I folded his clothes with a lump in my throat and while he played, I watched as if he were a ticking time bomb. I would feel a wave of peace come over me some days, only to later be strangled by fear at night.

We were referred to a neurologist and from there, agreeing our son had one major marker of the disorder, our neurologist ordered an MRI, heart/ lung scan, eye test, and a genetic blood test.

The only way to rule it out is to test, test, test.

So, test we did. And pray we did. And we asked others to pray, and before we knew it, hundreds and hundreds of people began praying with us and for us. Again. It is humbling to ask for help, it is humbling to ask for prayer, but we have learned that inviting people into our struggles invites hope in, too. People came out of the woodwork to encourage us; dropping off meals,

flowers, notes, and praying. During a potentially lonely and dark time, we felt illuminated by other people’s care for us.

Over the course of a little over a month we were in and out of Sanford’s magical Children’s Hospital castle for testing. And while there, we watched as parents brought their children through the doors. So many were clearly worried and heavy laden - the weight of their child’s illness etched into their tired eyes. I found myself praying for them, hoping they too had people rallying around them, rooting for them, and carrying some of their burden. Hoping for hope for them. And all the while seeing the difficult road that so many parents in our community are journeying.

Long story short, in what we believe was an act of God, every single one of Wes’ test results came back normal. He is in the clear! (Perhaps his skin is just confused after all.) We are so thankful.

But yet, my heart still rests with those whose test results did not come back this way. It is with those parents we encountered in the waiting room and the children who are fighting for their life every day. I feel like I was given a glimpse, a mere microscopic taste, of some of the suffering so many are walking in and I have a newfound want to be the hope that others gave us.

It is amazing how three small words can change everything. For us, the words “It might be” and then months later, the three little magic words “It is not” changed our lives forever. Whew!

Thank you, to all of you who cared for us. I am so grateful.

ASK T H E JO H N S

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

I was at a concert a few nights ago and found myself really annoyed by a couple of people behind me who were having a full-on conversation throughout the show. Even when the band was playing, I could hear them perfectly.

It was really distracting, so I finally turned around and asked them to keep it down.

They ignored me and kept on chatting. Am I the jerk here?

JR: What was this, a middle school choral concert? Most concerts I can’t even hear myself.

JW: They suck, you're right. But instead of telling them to keep it down, you should tell the band to keep it up! If the music was louder, you wouldn't hear those clowns.

JT: Those people are monsters.

There’s a time and a place for talking, and during a concert isn’t one of them. Not only was it rude to the other patrons who paid good money, but it’s a slap in the face to the performers. Your request should have been sufficient, but really, there’s no accounting for some people’s manners.

I want to continue liking my family and friends. How can I keep people's opinions about certain presidential candidates from coloring my opinion of them?

JR: Focus on discussing things we all care about and agree on, like puppies. Try going to the dog park and getting into a political debate.

Not going to happen. Those dogs don’t care. Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Sanders, never going to come up.

JW: It's funny, the more 'tolerant and accepting' someone claims to be, the less 'tolerant and accepting' they seem to be of any points of view that differ from their own.

The people that post political stuff all of the time are awful. They do it because they think they are smarter than you and need to 'educate' you. I personally don't care about my friends' particular political persuasions. But, when they let the cause overtake them, they are literally a shell of a person carrying water for an ideal. It becomes time for some new friends because I lose respect for them.

JT: It might be necessary to set ground rules with a few people about talking politics (or religion). I learned that lesson after an alcoholfueled conversation about George W. Bush with one of my uncles ended in personal attacks and tears.

Focus on what you have in common instead of what divides you.

My neighbors have three kids and as a result, they have tons of little bikes, big wheels, child-size cars, etc. Their kids leave them all over the yard and across the sidewalk every single day. I don't know how they haven't been stolen, but most of all, they're a messy eyesore. Should I say something?

JR: Always speak your mind!

The sight of those toys bringing those kids joy just so happens to disgust you. Do not let their happiness interfere with an orderly neighborhood. They should be inside playing video games anyway!

JW: Part one of the plan is that you should steal them. Once the mini Escalade goes missing a few times, they'll start keeping them inside. Part two of this plan starts with Craigs and ends in List.

JT: With three little ones, your neighbors are probably focusing on what’s directly in front of them, not what’s in the yard. It’s not an excuse, but they probably have a lot on their plates. If the problem persists, though, perhaps stacking them in a neat pile by the front door during a late night walk will be in order.

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

DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS? EACH MONTH WE BRING YOU INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND MORE.

BY JILL JOHNSON

150 MINUTES Of moderate exercise (brisk walking or swimming) or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise (running) is needed weekly for most adults. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, we should keep a physical activity goal of at least 30 minutes a day, but increasing it to 45 minutes can add health benefits and increase weight loss.

220 Acres make up Great Bear Recreation Park in Sioux Falls. The city’s largest park, it’s typically thought of as a winter haven (snowboarding, skiing, tubing), but the park also facilitates summer activities like hiking. Take the Ralph and Doris Wallin Nature Trail and choose from three loops ranging from leisurely walks to a more challenging wilderness-like journey.

7.4 HOURS Is the amount of time the average American spends looking at screens every day. The website bgr.com relayed the data of a study that said the 444 minutes (7.4 hours) breaks down into 103 minutes (about 1.7 hours) on a computer, 147 minutes (about 2.5 hours) watching TV, 43 minutes on a tablet and 151 (about 2.5 hours) minutes on a smartphone.

Parks make up Rapid City’s public green spaces.

According to rcgov.org, the Parks and Recreation division oversees 1,650 acres of land, with sizes of parks ranging from 1.5 to 210 acres. These parks provide endless opportunities to enjoy spring weather. A couple things to keep in mind: alcohol is not permitted within the parks and dogs must be kept on leashes unless they are within specific “off-leash” areas.

LEMON LAVENDER

&

BATH DETOX

BY LIZA MCCANN

OUR BODIES ARE EXPOSED TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES EVERY DAY. Whether in our food, our air, or even our medications, they seem to be everywhere. Detoxification is our body’s way of naturally eliminating these dangerous impurities. Although this is an automatic function of the human body, the higher the number of toxins we are exposed to, the harder it is for the body to keep up. A detox bath is one of the simplest healing treatments we can do to aid the natural detoxification process. By doing this, we not only flush out toxins, but also strengthen our immune system and prevent various diseases.

FICUS This tree can end up being between two and 10 feet tall when it grows indoors and is an extremely hardy plant. It will grow in bright, indirect light and likes the soil to dry out between waterings. This plant has some great air-cleaning capabilities and can also be taken outside in late spring when the weather is warm and well above freezing.

SNAKE PLANT This is one of the hardest houseplants to kill. Give it some sun and water it only when soil is dry.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and xylene

PURIFYING PLANTS

SPIDER PLANTS

A great choice for beginners or forgetful owners because they are among the easiest houseplants to grow. With bright, indirect sunlight, spider plants send out shoots with flowers that eventually grow into baby spider plants.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: formaldehyde and xylene

PEACE LILY These plants pack some major aircleaning abilities despite their small size. They are easy to grow and will flower for much of the summer. Be aware that those flowers (like all flowers) do contribute some pollen to the air. Peace Lilies prefer shade and like their soil to be kept moist without over-watering.

BRING THE OUTDOORS IN THIS SPRING

BY ADDING POTTED PLANTS TO YOUR HOME.

Sioux Fallsbased Landscape Garden Centers greenhouse expert Deb Wallin says that in addition to purifying our air and releasing moisture, “they also help sharpen your mental health and wellbeing.� The team at LGC shares some of their favorite picks.

BOSTON FERN This tends to be a little more difficult to care for but gives great texture. These plants prefer to clean the air from a cool location with bright, indirect light and high humidity. Keep the Boston Fern moist. It should be checked daily to see if it needs water, and given a good soak once per month.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: formaldehyde and xylene

ALOE Along with serious health claims, aloe is easy to care for. The plant's leaves contain a clear liquid full of vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and other compounds that have wound-healing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a sun-loving succulent that likes to be dry.
