DENISE DEPAOLO

@ d en i s ed epao lo

>> WHAT’S IN A MAZE? FALL MEANS PUMPKIN PICKING, SWEATER WEATHER, APPLE CIDER, AND CORN MAZES. MANY PEOPLE KNOW WHAT A CORN MAZE IS OR MAY HAVE RACED THROUGH ONE, BUT DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT GOES INTO MAKING ONE. The Sproul family runs the Heartland Country Corn Maze in Harrisburg, and has been doing so for 17 years. For the family, the maze is a yearround effort.

“We plan and draw the maze in the winter,” Karen Sproul explained. “In the spring the corn is planted both directions. It is all manual, no GPS. We do a grid system and a lot of row counting.”

“IT IS ALL MANUAL, NO GPS. WE DO A GRID SYSTEM AND A LOT OF ROW COUNTING.” 16 // OCTOBER 2016

When the corn is three or four inches tall, the maze is cut using a zero-turn lawn mower. A week before the maze opens, it is cleaned up with weed eaters.

The leaves on the paths are trimmed so they will not hit people when they are walking through.

The Sprouls, lifelong farmers, draw, cut and run the maze themselves. There are companies you can hire to do this, but they have been doing it themselves since day one. The result is an 11-acre design visible from the air.

“We have done a buffalo, pheasant, walleye, coyote, horse, dinosaurs, butterfly, owls, swans, bears, peacock, turkey, cougar, eagle, deer, and this year is a cow and calf. You can see all of them on our website,” said Karen.

The corn that is used is just normal field corn. To make a good maze it must be at least six feet, so it is over most people’s heads. After the maze closes, the family will harvest the corn. To maintain the maze with so many people tromping through, it is gone through periodically throughout the season and debris is cleaned off the paths.

BY JORDAN SMITH

Walking through the maze is only half the fun.

Patrons are given a card with 10 questions. The answers to those questions are at 10 checkpoints in the maze. They are also given a map of the maze showing the locations of the 10 checkpoints. There is one checkpoint not marked on the map with a picture of a treasure chest and a special hole punch to receive a free treat from the concession shed.

Those looking for a scare can come out October 28 and 29. That is when Heartland Country becomes a haunted corn maze, which Karen says, is a lot of fun.

She adds that the maze sees a lot of foreign tourists, as well as locals. “A lot of our patrons have never stepped foot into a cornfield, so this is a new experience for them. We have had multiple marriage proposals in the corn maze and a lot of repeat customers. It is fun to see same faces year after year and getting to know them. We truly enjoy it.”

Heartland Country Corn Maze is open through October 29. Discounts are available for groups of more than 20. For more information, visit heartlandcountrycornmaze.com.

Q&A

#PREMONITIONLIVE

#PREMONITIONLIVE IS A 90-MINUTE PERFORMANCE FEATURING MAGIC, DANGEROUS STUNTS, MIND-READING, AND MYSTERY, ACCORDING TO ZAC TENNEBOE. TENNEBOE, WHO PERFORMS UNDER THE STAGE NAME “ZSTONISH,” WILL TAKE CENTER STAGE, ALONG WITH FELLOW PERFORMER TRAVIS NYE. HE TELLS US WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE SHOW OCTOBER 8 AT THE ORPHEUM THEATRE IN DOWNTOWN SIOUX FALLS. Do you say "magician" or "illusionist?"

Zac Tenneboe: I would actually say mentalist and hypnotist.

What's the difference?

ZT: Society has somewhat blanked the term magician to mean a person pulling rabbits out of hats and an illusionist as someone who uses big fancy boxes on stage. To some extent there is some truth to that, but I like to combine them to create the same meaning. Which is a person who performs something that creates wonder.

Now as a mentalist, it is my job to portray the illusion of mind-reading and coincidence. It’s a very specific type of magic.

Elaborate on what it means to be a “mentalist.”

ZT: It’s what looks the most real, while still having a layer of deception. In my show there is the illusion of mind-reading, magic, coincidence and prediction. Also, as a hypnotist, I intertwine those techniques throughout to create a distortion of reality.

What is funniest or best reaction you've had from an audience member?

ZT: When the audience member forgets what card they chose. Just kidding.

The best reactions, for me as a magician, happen when things don’t go according to plan.

Sometimes in my show strange things occur that I didn’t script out. While the audience may not realize the difference, inside I know it’s what created such an amazing reaction in that moment.

SOUTH DAKOTAS ONLY CERTIFIED PIZZAIOLI

Tell us about the strangest or least conventional gig you've done?

ZT: My father is also a magician and when I was a little kid we performed inside a chicken coop.

That’s right! It was a chicken coup remodeled to have a stage. And while the audience wasn’t full of chickens, it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Anything else you'd like to add?

ZT: Please follow us on social media at @zstonish and @travisnyemagic. #PremonitionLive starts at 7:30 p.m. October 8 at the Orpheum Theatre. Tickets are $10 for kids and $15 for adults, available at PremonitionLive.com and Last Stop CD Shop.

BE YON D BO R DE R S W I T H M A R K LLOY D BORDERS WENT BANKRUPT? SO WHAT. THAT DOESN’T STOP FORMER EMPLOYEE MARK LLOYD FROM FINDING OUT WHAT’S THE NEXT HOTTEST READ.

UNDERGROUND AIRLINES

BY BEN H. WINTERS

WHAT IF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR NEVER HAPPENED? Let's say that Lincoln was assassinated before he even took office after being elected in 1860. Let's say that the Southern senators, ready to walk out and lead their states to secession, sat back down and hammered out a constitutional amendment that basically said that slavery could not be outlawed in the United States and that it would forever be up to the states to decide whether they would allow slavery or not.

Fast forward to present day, and things are pretty much the same as we know it. They have cell phones and laptops. They love Budweiser and football. They still post selfies on social media.

But there are still four states that allow slavery. And three million people are still slaves.

Victor is a bit of a mystery. He sees himself as a good man doing bad work. What he does is track down escaped slaves and return them to their owners.

This might not seem that weird, except that Victor was born into slavery.

For 14 years he was a slave at a slaughter house. He escaped, but was caught by the U.S. Marshals. They gave him a choice. Return to the slaughterhouse or join them in hunting down escaped slaves.

See, it's not exactly popular with most of the population of the United States that slavery still exists in four states. Because of this, the government doesn't exactly like having an above the board agency in charge of tracking down escaped slaves.

So what they need is people like Victor. Victor doesn't wear a uniform.

Victor doesn't carry a badge. Victor doesn't really exist.

But something isn't right about the case that Victor is working on. He's

SO WHAT THEY NEED IS PEOPLE LIKE VICTOR. VICTOR DOESN'T WEAR A UNIFORM. VICTOR DOESN'T CARRY A BADGE. VICTOR DOESN'T REALLY EXIST. tracking an escaped slave called Jackdaw. Something about the file just doesn't sit right with Victor.

And as Victor gets closer to Jackdaw, he also gets closer to the truth about the United States government and the secrets that they will do anything to keep.

Be intentional with your color palette. Choose black and silver, or black and white with pops of orange or green.

Go overboard with the orange and black.

Keep it friendly, decorating with items like jack-o-lanterns and fake spiderwebs.

Get too scary. Skip the bloody handprints. Keep in mind that kids will be stopping by for treats.

Show your individuality with a DIY costume. The effort will pay off.

Get a cheap costume last minute.

Offer a simple signature spooky cocktail.

Spend an arm and a leg on booze.

Let yourself get caught in the moment with your guests.

THOMAS CHRISTIANSEN & ADAM JORGENSEN Like many houses of its era, the Sioux Falls home Thomas Christiansen shares with partner Adam Jorgensen is one-of-a-kind.

From the outside, the 1928 Craftsman is a tidy white structure situated on a fenced postage stamp yard. Inside, one finds nothing but charm.

hristiansen, brand manager at Profile by Sanford, says it’s the home’s character and pre-war architectural details that made him fall in love. “The original hardwood is really well taken care of, the beautiful arch details, and there’s original built-ins. The original door is beautiful. So there’s a lot of cool elements.”

“The original hardwood is really well taken care of, the beautiful arch details, and there’s original built-ins.

The original door is beautiful. So there’s a lot of cool elements.”

We walk beneath one of the many arches to traverse the covered front entry and step into the home. To the left is the living room. Much of the furniture comes from Pier One and World Market, stores where Adam once worked. The walls are painted a refined gray and navy blue, which along with the woodwork, give the room a nautical vibe. The restrained palette serves as a perfect backdrop for some of the couple’s more eclectic décor pieces, which include bits of gold. Thomas explains that they are big fans of giving objects a new, more glamorous life with a coat of gold spray paint. The room also houses several rustic elements, like pallet shelves built by Thomas, and a burlap pillow on a tufted armless chair.

“The pillow we made out of a potato sack that we found at Urban Archaeology,” said Adam, who now works as programming manager at NARAL ProChoice. “I had a friend sew it for me. She’s like, ‘I’ll never do this again, so don’t tell anybody I made this for you.’ But it’s awesome.”

Across the entryway is the dining room. A built-in arched cubby was once a phone stand, but now serves as a display shelf. Adam says he loves that the dining room windows have the original wood blinds.

The room holds a tall square table constructed of dark wood, which they’re planning to replace with a larger one, so they can host holiday meals. This,

like most of the other furniture, moved with the couple when they bought the house earlier this year. They marvel that they fit it into their previous 750 square feet, when it practically fills their current 1,800. Above the table hangs a white tiered chandelier.

“This was actually my friend’s chandelier she used in her senior show for college and she was going to throw it away,” said Thomas.

“There was another tier to it, so it was a bit gaudy, but I saw potential in it. I took the bottom tier off and I love it.”

Through the dining room is the kitchen.

This, along with a new fence, will be the next projects tackled. The plan is to replace the countertops with butcher block, add a subway tile backsplash, and swap out the cabinets for bright white ones with wainscoting. The present kitchen is completely functional, however. The house’s move-in ready condition was a big selling point for the couple. With the bulk of the improvements cosmetic, Thomas and Adam are able to address them at their own pace.

A floating shelf and reading lights attached to the wall help offset the minimal square footage in the master bedroom. A headboard constructed of reclaimed wood was crafted by Thomas.

Between the bedrooms is a wall display representing the Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality. A frame holds local and national newspaper clippings, including one that shows the couple, both active with the Center for Equality, embracing. Below is a laser cut with the text of the Court’s majority opinion.

The once-beige walls of the main floor bathroom have been freshened up with a coat of mint green paint, which gives added emphasis to a series of black and white family photos. Next door, the second bedroom belongs to the dogs, Nina and Hugo, with their crates dominating the space.

Upstairs feels fort-like with sloped ceilings and Alice in Wonderland doors. The doors lead to crawl spaces, which are largely unusable, despite their charm. One branch of the space holds two large desks, which they made themselves.

“These tables are actually countertops from Ikea that are only like $39. Then we got these posts from ReStore. They were part of a railing for stairs. We just cut them down and painted them white,” explained Thomas.

“We both have our own desk area, because we’re both involved in all kinds of things,” added Adam. “It’s nice to get away up here, because before, our desk was in the middle of the room between the kitchen and living room. It was impossible to work and focus.”

With the one branch dedicated to work, the other is about relaxation. A long peaked reading nook holds a comfortable chair that sits next to a window overlooking the front yard. It is where Thomas comes to meditate and decompress.

Throughout the upper level are gleaming parquet floors, another project for Thomas.

When they moved in, there were gaps. Local interior designer Baron Wolfgang was able to help them with extra pieces, which have been resurfaced.

Down two flights of extremely narrow stairs, the basement is mostly finished. It is a welcoming space with built-in shelving, comfortable furniture, and a bar.

“We use the basement a lot, because it’s cool down here. It’s just nice after work to come down here and relax,” said Thomas.

And relaxing is what the couple plans to do, after a summer of hard work.

“I’m so glad to live in a house finally, and not an apartment,” said Adam. “We can let the dogs out in our fenced in backyard. It’s so convenient. Now that most of our projects are done, it’s so nice to come home.”

Thomas agrees. He says now that they’ve had a few small gatherings, the house is feeling like home and not like a chore. “It has everything we wanted. A fenced backyard. A garden, which I wanted. There’s potential for a chicken coop, because Adam wants chickens. And now, we’re starting to build memories here.”

These are the stories whispered in the dark. They make us jump at each pop and crack in the woods. And what makes them really scary — they take place right in our own backyard. >> SICA HOLLOW STATE PARK // SISSETON Local Native Americans named it “Sica,” meaning “evil” or “bad.” It was used as a hunting ground, and has long been reputed to be a place where supernatural forces are at work. Legend has it, a bigfoot-type man lives here, as well. Historically, people have been afraid to call the area home, but those brave enough can walk the Trail of Spirits.

>> SPOOK ROAD // BRANDON All sorts of legends swirl around this road in rural Minnehaha County. Some say if you drive away from town and count the bridges, you’ll cross four in one direction and then five on the way back. A similar story exists about the road's winding curves. Spook Road is known for its canopy of trees, which create the route’s ambiance. A “Save Spook Road” Facebook page has been set up to help preserve the iconic trees from demolition.

>> GHOST JOGGERS // SIOUX FALLS According to the story, two local college students were killed while jogging down 26th Street. People jogging or driving alone at night have reported seeing them near the bridge over I-229.

>> PHILLIPS AVENUE GHOST // SIOUX FALLS SiouxEmpireWeird.com has been reporting on an alleged haunting in downtown Sioux Falls. A video posted to their website shows what appears to be an apparition walking through walls. The ghost has been identified as Celeste Pickman, who died at the Cataract Hotel in 1908, near the location of the sighting.

>> HOOKY JACK // RAPID CITY John Leary lost his hands in an explosion, and had them replaced with hooks. But that didn’t get him down. Now nicknamed “Hooky Jack,” Leary became a night watchman and police officer for four decades.

Although he was hit by a car and killed in 1926, many locals believe he still haunts the three-story Sports Rock restaurant downtown.

>>THE SIOUX SAN INDIAN HOSPITAL // RAPID CITY Established as a boarding school for Native American children in 1898, abuse allegations were common. Later, it became a tuberculosis sanitarium for Native Americans where grisly experimental procedures were performed. The grounds remain scattered with unmarked graves. Reports have been made of phantom children and the sounds of crying.

"I THINK IT’S JUST VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT THESE INDIVIDUALS."

Many people living in Sioux Falls pass Woodlawn Cemetery every day, regarding the sprawling, fence-enclosed property with nary a glance. But beyond the iron gates, thousands of names emblazoned on granite and marble represent lives every bit as full and interesting as ours. They were pioneers, immigrants, soldiers, suffrage fighters, temperance advocates, businesspeople, and invariably, part of the story of the Sioux Falls community. This month, we have the chance to learn something about those lives.

Unlike cemetery tours elsewhere, Voices from the Past is more about the history than the macabre. The only spooky thing about it is groups are led through

the cemetery in the evening, their path illuminated by moonlight and a pair of lanterns.

lawn’s board of directors. “It’s more of an informational tour about some of our early pioneers who helped to create Sioux Falls, who were very influential in its development. I think it’s just very important to remember something about these individuals.”

“This isn’t a haunted hayride,” explained SHM education assistant Paavo Rasmussen. “We obviously take advantage of the setting without a lot of theatricality. Nothing cheap or tawdry. It’s a place of respect, but it’s a place of remembrance. This was designed as a place where people would feel comfortable coming in to be with their dearly departed. We’re honoring the wishes of the designer, R.F. Pettigrew, who wanted a cemetery that felt welcoming.”

The stories of those buried at Woodlawn are told by actors stationed near grave markers throughout the cemetery.

Groups follow roughly half a mile of pathway with four to six stops. At each stop, an actor dressed in period costume shares some of the most interesting aspects of their character’s life.

“It’s not a haunted tour at all,” agreed Gary Conradi, a member of Wood-

family buried in Woodlawn under that spelling (due to anti-German sentiment during World War I, the surname was changed to “France”), and the founders of the Moe Hospital (which merged with Sioux Falls Hospital to become Sioux Valley, now Sanford Health). Names that we take for granted like Tuthill and Miller come alive once again. And we learn that “Burnside” isn’t just a street; he was the longest-serving mayor of Sioux Falls.

A mayor who once performed a wedding inside a lion’s cage.

“In the '20s, a traveling circus came in and they had a big lion cage. He and the couple and the lion trainer actually went in,” Rasmussen said, laughing. “He agreed on a whim, and then he got into

the cage and was like, ‘Why did I do this?’

He said it was the fastest ceremony he ever did, and then he quickly backed out of the cage.”

Rasmussen not only researches each person featured on the tour and writes the actors’ scripts, he gets into character himself. “I did Delbridge, the hunter from the museum. They were all his trophies. He traveled all over the world and killed all sorts of animals. He had a hardware store in west Sioux Falls, where Madison and Burnside run together. He had them in the back room there. Kids would go to his store to look through his animals. Then when he passed away, they gave them to the city who put them at the zoo.”

SHM has been conducting the cemetery tours for seven years, and feedback has been very positive. Every once in awhile, though, someone will object to the concept. In each case, the dissenter has not actually taken the tour. Rasmussen encourages anyone with concerns to reach out to him, and to see for themselves that these people’s lives and stories are handled respectfully.

When Sioux Falls founding father R.F. Pettigrew conceptualized the cemetery, he modeled it after the parklike places of rest he’d seen in cities like New York, Chicago and Boston. In Pettigrew’s mind, Sioux Falls residents wouldn’t just come for funerals. They would return for peaceful walks and family picnics. Tour

"WE THINK WE’RE JUST A LITTLE CITY AND NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER HAPPENS HERE. PEOPLE IN SIOUX FALLS HAVE AN IMPACT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD.”

organizers believe that by encouraging the public to share in the stories of those buried there, Woodlawn remains a part of the life of the community.

While people are still being interred in the cemetery, a short stroll away, one can find markers for those who lived more than a century ago. Conradi says 57 members of the Union Army from the Civil War are buried there. Earlier this year, a ceremony was held for two soldiers with unmarked graves - one member of the Union Army and the other, a Buffalo Soldier named Anthony Penson.

Penson, Condradi explained, was a former slave who enlisted toward the end of the Civil War. “After the war, he relocated to Sioux Falls and he was a horse trainer. He eventually died here without

a family. He came to Sioux Falls single with no family and did not marry. He died as a pauper and was buried in an undeeded plot. That was why there was never a marker for him. We obtained one for him and one for the Union soldier. We had a memorial dedication this spring for both of those individuals at their grave sites with the Civil War reenactors.

It was a beautiful ceremony.”

Each year, the people featured on the Voices from the Past tour change. Rasmussen was tight-lipped about who patrons would meet this time around. But those who would like to find out have 15 opportunities to do so. Five tours leave from Woodlawn’s front gate, located on 26th Street just west of Cliff Avenue, in 20 minute intervals on the evenings of October 20, 21, and 22. Tickets must be obtained in advance at the front desk of

the Old Courthouse Museum. They are $10 each.

Rasmussen recommends dressing for the weather, as tours are only cancelled in hazardous conditions. The route is ADA accessible, but those with mobility issues should be aware that there are inclines and quite a bit of walking between some stops. He also recommends that patrons arrive ready to be surprised and delighted.

“We think we’re just a little city and nothing important ever happens here. People in Sioux Falls have an impact all over the country and all over the world.”

“A THIRD TO 50 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE GROUP HAVE THEIR OWN PUBLISHED BOOKS"

>>TIME TO GET WRITING Jason Kurtz is an English teacher at Harrisburg High School. He teaches composition to freshmen and English to juniors. Kurtz is also a college adjunct instructor at the University of Sioux Falls. Despite his busy schedule, he decided this past April to start a Facebook group called “South Dakota Writes.”

Looking back, Kurtz says his initial motivation to start the group may have been selfish. “I was tired of not knowing what was going on in South Dakota for writing. I started the Facebook group where people could post their events, so subserviently I would know what’s happening.”

The description on the Facebook group states, “The purpose of this group is to organize people with a passion for writing in South Dakota by creating a vibrant online and offline community.

This group will share information and events that may interest writers in South Dakota.” There is also a Facebook page that people can like to get more information on events.

Kurtz had the hopes of finally hearing what was going on, but what he thought would be a small group has turned into a non-profit organization with events in several cities across the state.

Launch parties to celebrate South Dakota Writes’ non-profit status took place in September in Sioux Falls, Watertown, and Spearfish.

The group has steadily grown since its formation earlier this year. Kurtz said the group had eight member the first week, growing to 70 a few weeks later, and now the group has around 200 members. The group gains about two new members every day.

There is a wide range of people that are writing in South Dakota. Kurtz says most are in their 20s-60s. In Sioux Falls, the crowd ranges from 20-40 years old, in Watertown they are mostly 50-60 years old, and Rapid City sees mid 30s-40s in the group.

Kurtz says word of mouth and blasting out events on Facebook helps promote South Dakota Writes. It also helps when group members share the events on Facebook.

“A third to 50 percent of the people in the group have their own published books, which shocked me,” said Kurtz. “I had no idea that that many people had published books in South Dakota.”

On every third Monday of the month, the group hosts Writer’s Happy Hour at Bogtrotter's in downtown Sioux Falls. This has also steadily grown.

He says that is another reason the group is important, to promote the authors in the state and be supportive of their work.

South Dakota Writes hosts workshops, also normally held on Mondays, and informs group members of any upcoming author signings, book launch parties, and poetry readings, which can be anywhere across the state. There is information for those looking for freelance writing and publishing opportunities listed in the group, as well.

Kurtz says those interested in writing can get connected by going online and joining the Facebook group and liking the Facebook page.

“They can ask advice in the group,” he explained.

“Someone asked where there was a cheap place to get bookmarks printed to promote their novel and a lot of people responded to that.”

In October, South Dakota Writes will be hosting another Writer’s Happy Hour at Bogtrotter’s and a workshop, which Kurtz believes will focus on word building. Both of these will be in Sioux Falls.

November is National Novel Writing Month, which Kurtz says the group will be focusing on.

“Without Facebook, we wouldn’t be doing this.

I was shocked myself at how fast this exploded.

I felt like I started with a rowboat and within a month, I was captain of a steamship. I think there was such a need out there for some kind of community for the isolated authors in South Dakota.”

Signature Cocktails

Deep Fat Fried Bacon

Sriracha Burbon Burger

Elvis sandwich

PAve is one of the most recent additions to the downtown Sioux Falls dining scene. The newly renovated building couldn’t be more different than what was there before. What was once a dated, albeit character-filled, space is now overtly urban, modern, and industrial. Each floor has a street name. The brick, metal, and dark wood street level, where we ate lunch on a Friday, is fittingly called “Factory Avenue.” The wood, along with the soft brown leather chairs flanking the low tables, manage to keep the aesthetic from feeling cold.

Being a Friday, we ordered some of PAve’s signature cocktails to accompany lunch. We decided on the Grafton Street Cider (whiskey, lemon juice, sugar syrup, blackberry syrup, and apple juice), the Sinner and the Saint (tequila, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, orange juice, lime juice, and agave nectar), and the Wax (honey vodka, grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and Fresca). We also put in an order of Deep Fat Fried Bacon (because YOLO, you know?), while we made a plan for the rest of our meal.

THE GRAFTON STREET CIDER LOOKED AND TASTED LIKE COTTON CANDY. THE WAX WAS A SWEET, COMPLEX PUNCH. AND THE SINNER AND THE SAINT, WITH ITS FLOATING SLICE OF FRESH JALAPENO, WAS A SPICY TAKE ON A MARGARITA. The drinks arrived in a bright array of candy colors. The Grafton Street Cider looked and tasted like cotton candy. The Wax was a sweet, complex punch. And the Sinner and

Steak Bruschetta Salad

the Saint, with its floating slice of fresh jalapeno, was a spicy take on a margarita. I was happy that this was my drink, as overly sweet cocktails aren’t my jam. When reading the description, I was a little confused, thinking that using two orange liqueurs was a bit redundant, but in the drink, it actually works, as Cointreau is a brighter version and Grand Marnier has warmer flavor, due to its cognac base. Like summer and autumn mingled in a glass.

After a few sips of our drinks, the bacon arrived and we put in the rest of our order.

Coated in a light crumbly breading, the bacon was greasy and not easy to eat neatly. It was tasty, though. Obviously. And the sauces, particularly the sriracha bourbon (which tasted like a zippy barbecue), were excellent complements. When we asked our server for small plates, she replied that they did not have them, and instead brought us the large, rectangular slates that all the food seemed to be served on. When our entrees showed up, these plates proved to be cumbersome to pick up and stack. To me, they appeared to be better in theory than practice.

For our meals, we ordered the Sriracha Bourbon Burger, the Steak Bruschetta Salad, and the Elvis sandwich - plus sides of the fries and chips. The fries were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and well-seasoned, which fits all of my criteria for a good fry.

The chips were super crispy, lattice-cut, and just salty enough. The portion was also really generous.

The Elvis sandwich, as one might expect, featured peanut butter, banana, and honey on grilled sourdough. From a pure taste standpoint, I get it. It’s a combination of sweet, salty, smoky, and savory, with a myriad of textures. But for me, it’s just not an appetizing assemblage. That was not true for everyone at the table though. One of my friends gobbled down her half, and plans to order it next time.

ADC-PAD_605_10_16.pdf 1 9/19/2016 1:00:14 PM

The Sriracha Bourbon Burger featured the same sauce served with the bacon, which I found absolutely delicious. It can be tempting to make a bourbon sauce boozy tasting, but this one just had an undertone of whiskey flavor. The burger also boasted pepper jack, bacon, pulled pork, and onion strings, all of which contributed to a positively mouthwatering, if messyeating, composition.

My favorite item was the Steak Bruschetta Salad. The steak was super-tender and well-seasoned, and the vinaigrette was light, but full of bright citrus flavor. The salad was accompanied by pieces of bread, which would be familiar to anyone who has eaten Granite City’s Chicken Bruschetta Salad. However, these were a pillowy bread with toasted edges, while Granite City’s are almost a crouton. Both, though, feature the addictively garlicky layer of caesar dressing below melted parmesan cheese.

Bottom line: PAve serves delicious, interesting food on really impractical plates.

BRANDON CALLENIUS

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

HOMETOWN: HOSPERS, IA // AGE: 33 // SPECIALTY: FRONT LINE ENTERTAINMENT/CLOWN HORROR

Tis the season for spooks and scares, and Jaycees' Haunted House is serving the Sioux Falls community enough horror and fright to terrify even the most courageous participant. The attraction has been open for business for over 25 years, with its start in an abandoned house on Minnesota Avenue. Project advisor Brandon Callenius has divulged some of this year's plans, anticipating the fright factor will top anything previously done. With not one, but two houses filled with terror, Jaycees' Haunted House is an attraction to take in this Halloween season...if you dare.

What is Jaycees' purpose as an organization, and what is their function within the community throughout the year?

Brandon Callenius: Jaycees represents Junior Chamber. It is a nationwide organization that was founded to create young leaders and professionals through business ventures and volunteering, leading projects such as the Haunted House. Throughout the year, the Jaycees focus on community development, hosting casino nights for holiday parties, filling sandboxes in the spring, and putting on the Fourth of July fireworks display for the Sioux Falls community to enjoy. Jaycees' Haunted House is the biggest fundraiser of the year, with its proceeds going back into the organization's event fund.

What goes into the preparation for the Haunted House?

BC: It takes over a month to set up the Haunted House to the scale that we do now. We have been located at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds for the past 15 years, moving into the fine arts building on September 1. Anyone from the community may volunteer in both the setup and production of the Haunted House. Some of our volunteers are members of Jaycees, but the majority 46 // OCTOBER 2016

are locals from the community who want to come out and have a good time scaring the pants off people. For a lot of our volunteers, the fairgrounds is their home away from home for the month of October.

We have so many amazing sponsors who we can't thank enough.

The majority of supplies and materials have been donated. Along with the typical costumes and haunted house props, we have a claw foot bathtub used in our setup, as well as a burned upright piano that was salvaged from a house fire. We've acquired some pretty unique items throughout the years, adding a lot of character to the attraction.

How do you come up with ideas for the Haunted House setup?

BC: We ask for ideas from volunteers at the end of each year. You'll see a theme of Twisted Tales in this year's house, taking scenes from Grimm's Fairy Tales and turning them into life. I've heard talk of a demonic Minnie Mouse character, and one of the areas has been confirmed to be an Alice in Wonderland theme, with a Mad Hatter tea party room. We have some pretty creative ideas that come from our volunteers, who are talented enough to evolve their ideas into reality.

We also host Kid's Day on the Sunday before Halloween. We want to have a kid-friendly event for those who are not quite ready to go through a major haunted house. They're able to go through the attraction with the lights on and fun music playing, collecting candy as they go. The Sioux Falls Fire and Police Department make an appearance, interacting with the kids and giving away candy. It's a fun day to be a part of.

What will set Jaycees' Haunted House apart from others this year?

BC: For the first time, Jaycees' Haunted House will be offering a second attraction, Emily's Closet. Made with 3D image panels, Emily's Closet will have terror jumping off the walls, coming at you around every corner. It's different than anything you've ever experienced in a haunted house. The 3D glasses you wear as you walk through make it frighteningly realistic. I'm excited to see the reaction that comes from our participants this year. It's an extreme attraction to go through.

What keeps you coming back to be involved with Jaycees' Haunted House each year?

BC: I have gained so many friends from this project, that's one of my favorite aspects of being involved. This place creates camaraderie, people who have a common interest, loving what they're doing, hanging out for 24 hours at a time. Not only have I made lifelong friends, I've learned so much from a business standpoint. It's given me experience I can't get anywhere else.

Many of us are able to say Jaycees has helped us become the leaders we are today.

“HOW CAN WE ENSURE OUR CHILDREN AS SIBLINGS WILL BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER?”

T

>> FRIENDS FOREVER

BY TRACY KIRBY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

o those of us that have siblings, nothing evokes clearer childhood memories than those that involve our brothers and sisters. The fun we had. The fights we had. The trouble that “found us.” We are who we are today, in part, because of the siblings with whom we grew up. For me, I grew up with three brothers; one older and two younger that are identical twins. Obviously, it was mayhem 24/7 in our household. In fact, when we all get together now, all of us in our 30s, it is still pure mayhem. Our poor (lucky) parents.

all started with the typical and inevitable toy stealing.

Perhaps a push or a shove here and there. Maybe even some stealing of snacks and possibly even some cries rooted in jealousy. This is all, I know, very normal. They are discovering their territory, their roles with each other, and figuring out - in a very healthy way - the world does not revolve and function solely for their individual selves. They are learning they have to share, be kind, and by all means, for the sake of Mom the referee, keep the whining to a minimum.

Now, with children of my own, I find myself musing along with my best friends, “How can we ensure our children as siblings will be best friends forever?”

We have a little play room in the basement for the children and we spend hours upon hours in that little room.

The other day, I sent my husband and kids down to play so I could finish up dinner (AKA troll the internet and order pizza) and after only a few minutes I heard a deafening cry coming from my son’s little lungs. As a mom, you know there are different cries for varying circumstances. The cry I heard that day coming from my son was the SOS version of the “I’m hurt and in pain” one.

In an instant, I stepped away from the stove (iphone) and ran only to be met by my wide-eyed husband carrying the hurt victim up the stairs. Reaching toward me with huge crocodile tears pouring out of his almondshaped brown eyes, my son clutched me and sobbed as I’ve never seen him before.

When we were about to have our second child, everyone kept telling us that “if you can, a sibling is the greatest gift you can give to your child.” So far, for us, that could not be more true. Our daughter has been the dream older child to our youngest. She is the first one out of bed so she can race in to play with our son in his crib.

Which, thank you Jesus, gives me about 15 more minutes of laying in bed pretending to sleep. She helps feed him, entertain him, knows how to rip tiny items out of his grasp so he doesn’t choke, and has the ability to elicit a belly laugh out of him that no one else on earth can accomplish, even me, almighty meal-providing Mom. I know. Based on this sibling love description, it appears we just may have accomplished Hallmark Channel sibling greatness.

But, lately…

Lately, I have noticed there is becoming a small tilt toward a smidge of that infamous sibling rivalry. It

48 // OCTOBER 2016

“What happened?!” I asked frantically, not knowing if we were dealing with a broken bone, a paper cut, a fall, a concussion, blunt force trauma, etc.

Through the sound of the sobs, my husband explained to me that our daughter had simply knocked him down.

Surprised at his strong reaction to just something as simple as that, I consoled my son as my husband went back down to get our daughter to apologize. As she

skulked up the stairs and approached to hug him and say a tearful apology, he immediately brightened up, kissed her, and they were back to being pals. Simple as that. Hallmark Channel status returned. His hysterical reaction was rooted not solely in the actual physical pain of the fall, but more so in the emotional pain of his sister possibly being mean to him.

This whole story had me remembering my times as a younger and older sister to my own brothers, and remembering the beautiful truth that while sibling inflicted wounds cut deep, sibling forgiveness is the immediate healing salve. My mom used to make us hug and write lists of things we liked about each other whenever we fought. Needless to say, we all wrote many lists and gave many half-hearted begrudging hugs. Recently, my mom unearthed a list my older brother was forced to write entitled “50 Things I Love About My Sister.” My favorite ones being: “She is short, but not too short” and “She smells, but not too bad.” We all laughed until we cried at the hilarious list of insults concealed as compliments as only brothers can do.

My brothers and I are lucky, because to say all siblings get along would be like saying this Presidential Election Year is normal. So, again, how do we ensure our kids will be best friends forever? I guess the truth is, we can’t. But we can make them apologize when they fight, foster an environment of unconditional impartial love, we can make them give the toy back, we can make them write lists of why they love each other and we can just pray that they always see each other as one of their greatest gifts their parents ever gave them.

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.

Halloween night in South Dakota is almost always freezing. How can I get my kids to keep warm while still wearing their costumes?

JR: I presumed when we made the collective decision to dress our children up in costumes and send them around the neighborhood to ask for candy, we also decided not to worry about our kids for one night. Did I misunderstand?

JW: Simple. Have two of your kids be Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman from Weekend at Bernie's. Carrying around a heavy, fake dead guy should bring their core temp up pretty reliably.

Alternatively, the same costume in a more timely packaging, you could have them be the two Secret Service agents carrying a semiconscious Hillary Clinton into that van.

JT: In this scenario, you have to play the long game. It might actually be too late this year, so start on next year. First, identify some characters that would be appealing to children who have “huskier” frames - Santa, Kung Fu Panda, Mario Batali, etc. Slowly begin integrating these characters into your children’s consciousness.

Drop fun facts about them into everyday conversation. In the case of Kung Fu Panda, make them excited about the incredible array of uses for bamboo. By next Halloween, they will be ready for you to build a costume over a snowsuit so they can accurately portray their favorite celebrity.

I don’t want to be the house that hands out veggies for Halloween, but I want my trick or treaters to get healthy snacks. What are some fun alternatives to candy and pop?

I consider myself to be “too old” for Halloween, but my significant other is really pushing me to get involved (and get a costume). I don’t want to embarrass myself.

What should I do?

JR: You are almost as bad as the obnoxious person who puts a note on their door explaining why they don't celebrate Halloween. Even Michelle Obama hands out candy on Halloween (I assume). Relax.

JR: Some people say I'm too old to live in my parents' basement.

Those same idiots are wasting away their lives working the 8 to 5 to pay a mortgage. So buy yourself a Pokemon costume and wear it with your chin up.

JW: If they wanted a salad, they would have stayed home and had a sensible meal instead.

They want candy! Don't do this; don't volunteer to get your house egged. No one wants a stalk of celery on Halloween.

JT: Since the Mommy Mafia would crucify you for peanut butter crackers, my best solution is small bags of pretzels. This will be more expensive than just being cool and handing out sweets, but that’s exactly how King Candy wants it.

JW: Get a costume. You're never "too old" for Halloween, you're just "too old" to trick or treat. But there is a way around that, too.

Just borrow someone's kid and take them trick or treating with you. Disclaimer: Ask their parents before snatching the child. I can attest that it is a step you shouldn't skip.

JT: It sounds like you take yourself a bit too seriously. Yes, be sure that the place you’re going is a costume event, but then allow yourself to have fun with it. There are plenty of costumes that remain squarely in the conservative spectrum. You’re not going to win any costume contests for wearing a lab coat and saying you’re a scientist, or wearing a suit and sunglasses and saying you’re in the Secret Service, but at least it's something.

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

BEATING THE BLUES

The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting cooler.

While some Midwesterners love to see the leaves turn and look forward to snow-covered mornings, others feel like the world is closing in on them. October is Depression Awareness Month, and for those of us with severe Seasonal Affective Disorder, it is a good opportunity to check in with our doctors. Those with milder “winter blues� can try a few simple changes first.

DAWN SIMULATORS

AROMATHERAPY

EXERCISE

JOURNALING

These alarm clocks wake us up with light that gradually increases in intensity, just like a sunrise.

The best ones use natural lightsimulating full-spectrum light.

The use of essential oils can influence our moods, internal clock and appetite. Oil from the poplar tree can be particularly effective in helping with depressive disorders.

Add a few drops to a bath in the evening to unwind.

Endorphins released by physical activity can do wonders for our sense of wellbeing. Outdoor exercise is ideal, but spending time on a treadmill or elliptical machine near a window can create a similar effect.

Jotting down our thoughts every day can be a good way to work through any negative feelings. Try writing for about 20 minutes most nights to reflect on the day and decompress before trying to sleep.
