CONTRIBUTORS Alexa Giebink Andrea Van Essen Kaylyn Dieter

605 has all types of businesses in this year's Business Issue. There's Nerdy Nuts in Rapid City, which brings South Dakota and the nation legit peanut butter. I don't know what's more addicting... the natural peanut butter or the adorable animals illustrated in the branding. Urban Archaeology isn't new to the business community in Sioux Falls, but it's hosting its first-ever exhibit at the Washington Pavilion, which is dubbed "The Parlor of Peculiarities." Catch the Sherlock Holmes-inspired gallery, and check out their carefully curated shop of collections on Phillips Avenue. Speaking of Phillips Avenue, don't miss the grand opening of Terra Shepherd Boutique & Apothecary April 29 just down the block. This eco-conscious store is not just any brick-and-mortar; it has the goal of helping patrons make small changes that will make a big impact on retail consumption, sustainability, and the environment.

And speaking of making an impact, Lunch is Served is a nonprofit helping to deliver meals to those who are working hard but who are also suffering from poverty and hunger. These brown bags are truly a symbol of community and encouragement through the program and its volunteers.

CORRESPONDENCE

Want more business? Mind your business! Just kidding, I couldn't help myself. Sit back and read up on these and other South Dakota businesses who are working tirelessly and are making a difference.

The majority of the animals (including new bears from Canada) were hunted via archery and are all from different parts of the world. “Most of them were hunted except the buffalo, which is my favorite,” said general manager Courtney Bruntz. “He died of old age.”

Safari Bar & Grill is a family business and shares a parking lot with their other thriving company, the Renner Corner Meat Market, where they get a lot of their menu brought over from. While the taxidermy is unique, they’re more known for quality, fresh meat.

“We’re famous for our Bloody Mary,” said Bruntz. “A lot of people come in just for that as an appetizer because it comes with Dean’s Beef Jerky.” Head chef and kitchen manager Michele Haigh says the Ribeye Steak Sandwich has been a staple there as well. “Our whole company’s business is built on the cornerstone of fresh, local meats, so I try to keep that prevalent in the menu,” she said. A new meat-inspired option is the BBQ Pork Flatbread with pulled pork, thick-cut, hickory-smoked bacon, pineapple, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, with cheddar and pepperjack cheese, and balsamic reduction. “We do our pulled pork in-house,” said Haign. “Almost all of our sauces are homemade.

EMILIE NETTINGA

EVALUATING THE MARKET BY ANDREA VAN ESSEN

WHILE PURSUING HER BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN FINE ARTS FROM SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY, ELKTON NATIVE, EMILIE NETTINGA, REMEMBERS BEING TOLD THAT THE ONLY CAREER PATH FOR SOMEONE WITH HER DEGREE WAS EDUCATION.

2 2 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

After graduating however, she went on to work at several Sioux Falls galleries, and it was there that she noticed a trend. “Customers kept coming in with the same question, ‘How much is this worth?’” said Nettinga. Legally, a gallery owner or worker can’t offer that type of information to customers, as it would constitute a conflict of interest. Additionally, certification requirements vary by state

for property appraisers. “I just saw a need,” she said. “It was a way for me to do something new and on my own.” In October 2018, Nettinga took the leap and opened her own appraisal business, Earmark Evaluations. To become certified, she took classes and became a member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA).

"THE HARDEST PART IS THE HONESTY WHEN I’M TELLING PEOPLE THEIR ITEMS AREN’T WORTH AS MUCH AS THEY THINK THEY ARE."

While art is Nettinga’s primary focus and passion, her current certification qualifies her to evaluate a variety of personal property, and she continues to take classes to expand her offerings. Appraisers can take classes to become certified in specific types of property, such as antiques, clocks, or jewelry. “You have to keep educating and re-educating yourself,” she said. When it comes to clientele, Nettinga hopes to focus on South Dakota and its surrounding states. “Sioux Falls is, as many people know, an awesome mix,” she said. “It’s a really large art community. Some people are doing old-world, traditional things, and others are doing very modern and contemporary things.” Regions tend to have a style all their own. In the South Dakota/Minnesota/Iowa area, Nettinga says nature is a familiar artistic theme. “Native American art is also very big here,” she said. “My first job out of college was at a Native American gallery that has sadly closed, but you get very historical, interesting pieces. I’ve even met appraisers that specialize in Native American art.” While Nettinga is an artist herself, it’s her duty as an appraiser to be completely objective. “It’s fun to see different people’s tastes, and it allows me to meet really interesting people,” she said. As far as the evaluation process goes, Nettinga operates as a traveling appraiser. “I go to them, whether it’s their business, gallery, or home, and I meet with the people there. I do the inspection, take all the photographs, and get to know the piece a bit more,” she said.

2 4 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

NETTINGA IS STARTING TO PRODUCE SHOWS AND EXHIBITS OF HER OWN WORK. SHE HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE DOWNTOWN ART & WINE WALK AND PLANS TO DISPLAY A SERIES ON HONEYBEES CREATED ENTIRELY OUT OF BEESWAX AT THE OUTDOOR CAMPUS THIS SUMMER.

After viewing the piece in person, she returns home to write the report. These can range in length, with up to 20 pages of information and photos. “The hardest part is the honesty, if I’m telling people their items aren’t worth as much as they think they are,” said Nettinga. “People attach a lot of personal value to items that are really special to them.” When she isn’t working on her new business, Nettinga stays busy with a day job at Schmitt Music, creating her own artwork, and spending time with her husband and 3-year-old daughter. At Schmitt Music, Nettinga has been given the unique opportunity to create a mural within the shop. Initially, it was planned as a traditional paint-on-the-wall mural, but Nettinga has since given it her own twist and shifted to a sculptural mural. “I’m using that big pink Styrofoam insulation you would use in a house, and taking heat to it to melt and carve into it,” she said. If you stop by Schmitt Music, you might be lucky enough to witness the work in progress. Nettinga’s personal art will always be a priority, but in the future, she hopes to take the appraisal business full-time. “If you need an appraisal, you have to find someone who really is an appraiser. Just having the right information or being an expert on a topic doesn’t qualify someone to appraise your property,” she said. “I like to educate people so there’s a trust in what I’m doing.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT EARMARKEVALUATIONS.COM.•

Viborg BY KYLE DETERMAN

KNOWN FOR DANISH DAYS, A FOUR-DAY CELEBRATION TO HONOR DANISH HERITAGE, VIBORG IS MORE THAN STEGT LEVER AND KNEEBREECHES. As 605 multimedia designer Yany Avelar and I pulled into town, we took notice of the plethora of Danish flags. Every other house was sporting red and white, which seemed like an appropriate introduction to our first stop at the Daneville Heritage Museum.

INDEPENDENTALEHOUSE.COM

C U LT U R E + E N T E R TA I N M E N T

THE OLDEST ITEM IN THE MUSEUM IS A DANISH BIBLICAL REFERENCE BOOK COPYRIGHTED IN 1781.

Walking into the barn-esque building, we were met by Richard Skola, lifetime Viborg resident and knower of all things Danish. He began to walk us around the two-building setup, explaining the history as we went. “Our benefactor was Lester Lauritzen, one of the originators of the Daneville Heritage Association. Once he retired from farming, this was his baby,” said Skola. Exhibits range from traditional Danish clothing to a wall of veterans from the Viborg area.

2 8 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

In the back building, which was the original site of the museum, there were even more artifacts housed, most of which were donated by local families. “I love our chapel. We have things in there from churches that have closed, and I also love our glassware room," said Skola. "We have so many unique things. For a small town to have all of this is absolutely astounding." After lingering in the Christmas village room and ogling over the local art, Yany and I made our way to the Viborg Public Library.

Local artist and stay-at-home mom Catrina Walsh met up with us to talk about her business, its products, and the Viborg community.

Not only does Walsh sell her signs at the local library, but she also hosts classes, ships nationwide, and creates for other businesses in the town.

“Puzzled, Signed & Sealed started as a personal project for my sons’ growth charts. I had seen them on other people’s walls and I thought I could do it,” said Walsh.

“We have done t-shirts for so many businesses, and we’ve realized that word-of-mouth is huge for us," she said. "The community is so great, and that really shows when we get returning clients."

As a teacher, she had always saved quotes and comments from kids, and knew she wanted to write them down in a special way.

Walsh finished convincing us we needed more signs (which wasn’t hard to do), and we drove the block and a half to our final stop of the day.

Little did we know, this local gem had overcome more than a few slow nights. “On May 23, 2018 our world changed forever. I was in the back and the building shook, and I walked out to see a truck in our dining room," said owner Jeff Christensen. "The whole town came together to help us get back to normal, and we were open again by that Friday,” Christensen went on to explain the plans they had for the restaurant in the coming months, including utilizing the Danish world of design. “I just learned about the Danish term 'hygge,' which means to surround yourself with good

Eager to try the food and excited to see the open kitchen in action, Christensen started to make us a Schnitzel Sandwich, as well as his well-known Pepperoni Pizza. “I’ve lived all over, including outside of Manhattan, and I can tell you the best pizza in the country comes from that area,” said Christensen. After diving into the food, we sat and talked with Christensen for what seemed like hours, which seemed pretty on-trend with the rest of our day. Danish by nature, and just 45 miles outside of Sioux Falls, this small town reminded Yany and me why we love meeting the different South Dakota communities, and why we need to eat more pizza.•

TERRA SHEPHERD WELLNESS ONE STEP AT A TIME

SARA JAMISON OF SIOUX FALLS DREAMT OF STARTING A BUSINESS A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL AUGUST OF 2018 THAT SHE TOOK THE LEAP TO BEGIN WORKING TOWARD OPENING HER VERY OWN STORE. “I actually really love the retail industry—no two days are the same. It challenges me to be both creative and analytical, and it provides incredible opportunities to connect with people every day,” said Jamison. Terra Shepherd Boutique & Apothecary is officially opening its doors April 29, and will include fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products “that are good for you, the environment, and the people that produce them.” Jamison says she saw the opportunity to challenge the “unprecedented level of consumption in the retail industry,” and it’s a challenge she was excited to take on. “I started by sourcing fair-trade garments designed to last, limiting single-use plastics in my product selection, and focusing on sustainability in every aspect of how I have decided to do business,” she said. These products are not only meant to help the environment, but the clientele, as well.

CORE VALUES RELATIONSHIPS MATTER. We are not alone in this thing called life. Our relationships with other people and the earth matter. SMALL CHANGES CREATE TREMENDOUS IMPACT. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t an “all or nothing” deal.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS KEY. Think, “What can I do to make the world a better place?” Tackle this before worrying about others’ actions. As Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

WE ARE NEVER DONE LEARNING. Perfection isn’t a reality. Mistakes are made. All we can do is continue to learn and grow.

The Terra Shepherd brand is based on the idea that small changes matter, and that style and quality don’t have to be sacrificed to purchase sustainable goods. New to these types of products and eco-living? Jamison invites patrons to ease their way one step at a time. “Very few people have the ability or means to completely change the way they buy and live their life.” She continued, “It’s my hope that by emphasizing small changes, it’s a little easier for people to dip their toe into the idea of living a more sustainable lifestyle.”

One way they can do that is in the fashion spectrum, or clients can shop the apothecary portion of the business, which provides natural, herbal remedies in the form of tinctures, salves, creams, sprays, syrups, and teas that may replace chemical versions of many of daily products. An apothecary, says Jamison, focuses on the healing power of plants as well as wellness and prevention. The store, which is located on Phillips Avenue in the former A League of Your Own location, will have most of Terra Shepherd’s inventory, while the website will carry certain products to complement the store and brand. “I’m excited to have a space for customers to visit and fully experience the products,” said Jamison, who until recently did popup shops to prep for the space. “The energy in downtown Sioux Falls is electric, and I'm thrilled to be part of the neighborhood.” One product that Jamison uses constantly is the deodorant. “I’m obsessed with Little Seed Farm’s Activated Charcoal deodorant,” she said. “It’s completely chemical free, smells lovely, and it works.” Terra Shepherd’s brick-and-mortar will strive to create an environment that invites visitors to look, touch, smell, and ask questions. “Visitors can expect a mixture of elements in the interior: wood, stone, metal, greenery,” said Jamison. “It will definitely be a light, airy feeling.

AN AMERICAN CLASSIC WITH A SOUTH DAKOTA TWIST BY ALEXA GIEBINK PHOTOS BY HUBBARD VISUALS

hat started as a simple craving for fresh-ground peanut butter has grown into a new business for Rapid City resident Erika Peterson. Nerdy Nuts is a small-batch peanut butter company headquartered in Peterson’s kitchen, specializing in mouthwatering flavors, such as Butter Toffee and Honey Roasted.

“We’re not these crazy peanut butter people, we just enjoy having fresh peanut butter,” said Peterson. The 31-year-old, along with her partner Craig Mount, 32, grew up in South Dakota. When the couple moved to Colorado after college, they grew accustomed to the freshly ground peanut butter readily available in nearby stores.

However, when Peterson and Mount moved back to South Dakota, they chose to purchase a commercial peanut grinder rather than go without their tasty treat. “It started with us just wanting to make sure we had fresh-ground peanut butter at home,” said Peterson. “Not a lot of people have had that in South Dakota, and that’s why I think people love it so much, because it tastes so different and it’s a different texture. It has a lot more flavor.” After whipping up small batches for themselves, Peterson posted on her personal social media profile asking if any family or friends would also like some. When over a dozen jars were requested, Peterson was pleasantly overwhelmed, having to purchase 50 pounds of peanuts to fulfill the orders.

Word quickly spread through town, and Nerdy Nuts was formed. The new business really picked up speed after receiving an invitation to participate in the Black Hills Farmers Market.

White Chocolate. A labor of love, each batch is made by melting down white chocolate chips, hand mixing it into the freshly ground peanut butter, and then filling each jar by hand.

Fast forward to the holiday season, and Peterson was having 1,000 pounds of peanuts delivered by semi-truck to her house every week-and-a-half to keep up with orders.

Children and adults alike enjoy spreading it on their PB&J or peanut butter and banana sandwiches. It’s a tasty way for parents to give their kids a good source of protein.

“In my neighborhood everybody knows me as the peanut butter lady now,” said Peterson. Nerdy Nuts has expanded to include four main flavors, including White Chocolate and Mocha. The company also rotates seasonal flavors, like Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread. Each jar is made fresh with no preservatives. The most popular flavor, especially with children, is

Hungry customers can submit orders through the Nerdy Nuts Facebook page or Instagram account. The business will ship its homemade products anywhere in South Dakota. Nerdy Nuts can also be found selling peanut butter at local events and farmers’ markets in the summer. Peterson is eager to expand her company, currently busy working on a website. She hopes to soon ship nationally and get a permanent commercial kitchen, allowing her to continue creating fun flavors. There might even be a peanut butter subscription in the future. “I think it would be fun to have all of that available and know that it started here in South Dakota,” said Peterson.

FRESH FOYER Benson knew that first impressions were going to be key in the Airbnb business, so it was a nobrainer to keep the built-in flower pots. “When we first started we planted fresh flowers, but then you start to realize how much work the process is, and we switched to succulents,” she said. The home opens to a split level, which worked well for the host while she was renovating the upstairs. “I partition the basement and put a lock on the other side. For guests that stay for more than three or four days, I allow access to the basement so they can do laundry,” said Benson. The rest of the entryway lends itself to original wood paneling, and begins the artwork journey that flows through the entirety of the space.

ARTISTIC ATMOSPHERE At the top of the stairs is an eye-catching piece of artwork, courtesy of Benson’s sister. “My sister, Kelsey Benson, is a local artist, and this is a piece she collaborated on with some other artists,” she said. The local art doesn’t stop there, with pieces from Eli Show in the living room, and more of Benson’s sister’s work in the bedrooms. Also gracing the living room are giant windows and eclectic details that lend themselves to the overall aesthetic of the home. “We actually took out the wall that separated the kitchen and living room, and we really like how much light there is now," she said. "I like to keep things simple, which is why I picked gray and white with yellow as the accent color. Having a simple base allows me to switch out the color when I get bored with it." With yellow acting as her current supporting color, the antique rotary phone on the end table couldn’t have been more appropriate. “I’m not sure if the phone was originally that yellow, but it worked with the space, so we kept it,” chuckled Benson.

SUNNY SPACES

Sharing the natural sunlight and overall sunny feel is the kitchen. With newly painted cupboards and crisp subway-tile backsplash, Benson keeps the kitchen fully stocked for her guests. “The kitchen is cool. It should have everything my guests need for cooking, and my sister did that backsplash, which was awesome,” she said. Though there is no formal dining room, there is a dining table off of the kitchen that sits in front of two windows that look into the giant backyard. “In the summer we plant a bunch of produce and allow guests full access to our garden. This lets guests have fresh fruits and vegetables and makes sure I don’t waste any,” said Benson.

“I REALLY LOVE LOCAL ART. IT’S A GREAT WAY TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY I LIVE IN.”

VICTORIAN VIBES

Down the hall from the kitchen and living area are the two upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom. While both rooms are about the same size, each one has its own feel. “This is our Victorian-esque room. The chandelier came with the house, so we just kind of went with it,” she said.

This “femme” room is complete with an oversized plush pillow and more local art. “I think these pieces from Kelsey were up in Coffea for a bit. At some point I want to get name plaques for all of the art in the home because I’ve had a lot of people inquire about the artists and their art,” she said.

GROOVY GREEN Walking into the next bedroom is like traveling back in time. Painted a modish shade of green, the space exudes a '70s vibe that carries from to walls to the décor. “When Kelsey first showed me this color, I was like, ‘Oh, my...’ But as soon as she put it up I really liked how it looked in here,” said Benson. Benson described all of the work that went into making this home a place she could be proud to present to travelers and guests, including replacing all of the carpet. “I’m kind of upset we replaced the carpet in this room, because it was some funky green shag that went really went with the feel of the space,” she said. The bed sits between two bedside lamps, both found at Target, and is beneath another piece of artwork, this one more on the nose. “The Beatles piece is from Kelsey, too. The other piece is a map of San Francisco. There is definitely room for more local art, and we plan to put up more pieces,” she said.•

O TRY IT: BLUE ROCK BAR & GRILL 4021 BOBHALLA DR., SIOUX FALLS // (605) 271-2500 // BLUEROCKBARANDGRILL.COM

BY ALANA SNYDER //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THAT LONG AGO THAT 605 REVIEWED WILL’S TRAINING TABLE. It also doesn’t seem like that long ago that it was Beef O’Brady’s. But here we are, with the Sanford Health-owned restaurant rebranding and expanding as Blue Rock Bar & Grill. As 605 multimedia designer Yany Avelar and I pulled up on the day of the flooding in Sioux Falls on March 14 (luckily we didn’t get stuck in any water), we weren’t sure what to expect. Director of food and beverage Julie Coleman greeted us and started to take us on a quick tour. The now-12,000-square-foot building has grown to two floors, and has four unique dining experiences. As it states on a brochure, the different options are meant to offer experiences for a pre-game meal, a date night, a lunch meeting, and/or happy hour. I would say the room that has the least amount of change was the “Sports Bar” section of Blue Rock, which looked the same from Will’s. One big (and smart) change, though, was taking the patio and adding garage doors so it can be used in the warm and cold weather. There are side rooms you can rent for hosting clients and/or special occasions, which Coleman says fill up quickly. The “Upper Deck” was a surprise and was very impressive upstairs. It was a dining room with a modern bar, and had more garage doors that can open up to a large deck for patio drinks o’plenty. There were also archived photos from South Dakota used as wall decals, including a large image of the University of South Dakota at South Dakota State University playing football in 1950. “We’re hoping to host events up here eventually, like wine dinners,” said Coleman.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SHAREABLE SKILLET

Where our tour stopped—and what is the main dining room—was “The Lodge.” This was like a whole new restaurant from Will’s, with gorgeous antler chandeliers, a framed vintage South Dakota pennant flag, and an epic taxidermy bear that welcomes patrons near the entrance. We took a seat and soon began to see that the restaurant loves their theme: Blue. Blue-rimmed glasses came out with an assortment of blue cocktails. They're known for a solid Bloody Mary, so that was brought out as well. As I’m with child, Yany had to (had to) sip on all of the beverages. “I would come back just for this,” said Yany with a shoulder dance. Then the food came out. All of the food. First up was the meat tray… I mean, the Blue Rock Sampler. This massive meat sampler platter comes with candied bacon, fried Brussels sprouts, pork burnt ends, pretzel bites, char-buffed wings, pepperoni chips, and Korean-style St. Louis ribs, and is served with provolone cheese dip.

No kidding, we could have just eaten that and have been done. It’s perfect for a group and for filling up before a game or for drinks with friends. I went right for the Crispy Pepperoni Chips, which is what Coleman says they’re known for. These sliced pepperonis are fried “to a crunchy crisp.” If I had a bag of these, I would be doomed. It’s like taking the best part of picking toppings off of a pizza, and then making them delicious and crispy. Next, I grabbed one of the Salted Pretzel Bites. The soft, warm pretzel bites were served with provolone cheese dip, which we were obsessed with. We both were guilty of grabbing “one more” before we moved on. The Pork Burnt Ends were there and were “flavorful pieces of dry rubbed pork shoulder fried, then tossed in BBQ sauce.” The smothered BBQ sauce was a little much for us, and I think there were so many other amazing things available, we skimmed past it after a bite.

In the middle was a tin, or the Bacontini. This is the house-made sweet and spicy candied bacon that—when served alone— comes in a martini glass. At first I wanted it to be crispier than it was, but once I grabbed a piece, it was like bacon that just came from your breakfast plate with just the right amount of syrup. The St. Louis Pork Ribs were hanging out from the side, and were BBQ pork ribs that I grabbed and ate with a fork and knife (I know, I’m that person). They were just the right amount of smoky and weren’t smothered with sauce, which was nice. There were also Brussels Sprouts, which were drizzled with balsamic reduction. They were good, but I wish they had a little more balsamic. Last was the Char-Buffed Wings— traditional wings tossed in choice of sauce (we had Buffalo) and charred on the grill. I like wings, but I get overwhelmed by them unless they’re boneless. I loved these. I ate half of them before Yany even touched them. They were charred just right, and I could have had just a plate of those. They were just spicy enough where I felt it in my gums. Yany took a bite, and so many things happened at once.

“Ooh, these are good,” she said. Less than five seconds later, she started losing it and coughed. “I was not expecting that heat.” Maybe I’m becoming less of a weakling when it comes to spice! “I like that this is an appetizer sampler full of really solid stuff, not like a couple good things and artichoke dip like other restaurants,” said Yany. Now to entrées. First we tried the Candied Bacon Burger. This is their signature burger patty with their house-made candied bacon, smoked cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and their house spread. Imagine the sweet bacon I spoke of earlier on top of smoky and salty with some BBQ. The Blue Rock Pizza came out and is their signature pizza with an alfredo sauce base, topped with South Dakota pheasant sausage, shoulder bacon, fontina cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and a balsamic glaze. I’m embarrassed as a born and raised South Dakotan to admit I’ve never had pheasant. This was a good time to do it, and the large pieces were so savory. The ham was sweet and was even better when you mixed the meats together.

The Buffalo Ribeye was last, and was an eight-ounce buffalo ribeye served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. We added the Winemaker salts to our meat and Yany picked the blue (more blue!) steak knife when the box (see side bar) was brought over to us. Wow, the salt did enhance the experience, and the garlic butter in the middle was everything. The chef came out to check on us and mentioned there was some cheese in the mashed potatoes. “I don’t usually like cheese in my potatoes, but this is really nice and subtle,” said Yany. We thought we were done, but no. The Wild Blueberry Flapjack Cake arrived. This was stacked layers of thick, buttery cake and maple cream, baked with wild Maine blueberries. What it doesn’t say is that the chef created what he calls blueberry caviar. I repeat: blueberry caviar.

digging in to the cake, which had a surprise layer of cinnamon inside. Honestly, I don’t even know how much cake Yany ate, because she just started eating the pieces of blueberry by itself. “I wasn’t expecting them to melt in your mouth,” she said, staring at her spoonful of them. “I’d like a jar of this to go, please.” Last, but not least, was the Chocolate Molten Lava Cake with a “Blue Rock Flame,” served with vanilla ice cream. This is their showpiece, where they heat it up via fire tableside with a blue flame. The chocolate ganache inside of molten cake made my day. Take a bite of ice cream with it, dip it in the nutmeg on the plate, and you’re good to go. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT BLUEROCKBARANDGRILL.COM.•

Though it’s very new, the staff was very committed and excited about the new venture. We had plates and plates and plates of food, and the chef was kind enough to come out to explain dishes and to check on us.

Both the chef and Coleman mentioned that they take dishes they’ve had in other cities and countries, bring the ideas back to the kitchen, and make them their own. It definitely shows, especially with the Wild Blueberry Flapjack Cake. Note: Eat dessert first.

LIFESTYLE

The organization is entirely volunteer-run, with the exception of executive director Kathy Junker, who took the reins last July after being involved as a volunteer herself for over eight years.

“Sioux Falls is a very generous community,” said Junker. “We’ve been supported by numerous businesses here through donations, and by individuals and teams coming together to volunteer.”

Though Lunch is Served may maintain a low profile in the Sioux Falls business world, it’s bringing major change to a state where 68 percent of households receiving emergency food assistance include at least one employed adult. Last year alone volunteers from Lunch is Served provided more than 22,000 sack lunches to workers across the city.

Junker calls Lunch is Served “an ideal volunteer opportunity for everyone,” since no training or certification is needed for those interested. From church groups and PEO ladies to elementary students and local businesses, volunteer teams are made up of pretty much anyone looking to use their hands to fill a need in their community.

“For some people, lunch is the only meal they’ll get all day,” said Junker. “I really believe in our mission, that all people need our help, and it’s rewarding to help people who are trying to help themselves.” Meals are assembled and packaged at Emmanuel Baptist on Mondays and Wednesdays each week. The church isn’t affiliated with Lunch is Served, though they’ve been donating space to the nonprofit for the past 10 years. Other local businesses also offer support, including HyVee on East 10th Street, which donates all of the bread for sandwiches, and Smithfield Foods (formerly John Morrell & Co.), which provides the deli meat.

74 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

“Everyone can get busy packing the lunches,” said Junker. “Last week I had volunteers from 7-year-olds to 86-yearolds. I think it’s impactful for people to see the progress happening right in front of them.” Teams are asked to raise $350 each time they pack to cover the cost of supplies, and the rest is donated by supporters of Lunch is Served. Typically 250 lunches are assembled in a one-hour volunteer time slot.

Unanticipated medical bills and time away from work create both emotional and financial hardships for you and your family. When these accidents happen because of another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligence, victims are entitled to a settlement to compensate them for losses they experience as a result.

Lenora Bezpaletz has been volunteering at Lunch is Served every week for the past decade. She and Junker actually grew up next to each other. The women even remember going over to the other’s house for playtime and snacks. “I really enjoy seeing the beginning and end of a project,” said Bezpaletz. “I like the idea of helping someone who wants to work, it’s very fulfilling and I respect that.” One of Junker’s favorite parts of heading up Lunch is Served is interacting with people like Bezpaletz; people who are working to improve their community without necessarily getting recognition for their efforts.

it’s not like we hand them a lunch face-toface or write a company’s name on the bag,” said Junker. “If we can continue helping people it’s just a ripple effect down, one person helping another that continues on.” Junker hopes to continue that “ripple effect” into the second decade of Lunch is Served, cutting down on those who go hungry one brown paper bag at a time. “Not one of us could do this alone,” said Junker. “We’ve had overwhelmingly positive support from the community, I think it really resonates with people that we’re working to improve lives.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT LUNCHISSERVED.ORG.•

MEET THE Creative DUSTIN DEBOER

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

HISTORICAL CURATOR

nown for “antiques, vintage, and curiosities,” Urban Archaeology not only has unique finds, but it’s all in a welldesigned, impeccable space in downtown Sioux Falls. Curator and co-owner of Urban Archaeology Dustin DeBoer has had the business with wife, Rachel, since 2015, and what clients see in the brick-and-mortar is only just the beginning of what they have in stock. Recently the DeBoers partnered with the Washington Pavilion to create “The Parlor of Peculiarities.” The artistic display is exhibited until April 15 and gives “the Gilded Age feel of a Sherlock Holmes den.” 605 chatted with Dustin on their business, how they’re involved in the community, and what the duo likes to do outside of their creative space. 8 2 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

A R T + FA S H I O N

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW ME FROM... the band WeLiveinSodHouses. OUR LOVE FOR ANTIQUES STARTED… early in life for me, and then I infected Rachel with the love for odd old things when we met many years ago. We incorporated vintage design and historically-conscious and sustainable living into our way of life. CUSTOMERS WHO COME IN LOOK FOR… a variety of things, like furniture, vintage clothing, records, record players, lighting, vintage/antique jewelry, books, art, toys, and just for the nostalgia. We have some element of participation and something to appeal to everyone. THE WASHINGTON PAVILION EXHIBIT CAME TO BE BECAUSE... they expressed an interest in us finding items that fit the theme “Parlor of Peculiarities.”

WHAT WE LOVED ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER THE EXHIBIT WAS... working within a theme. We enjoyed finding things for a specific purpose. I really enjoyed collaboration with the enthusiastic crew at the Washington Pavilion.

Graphlex Graphic 4”x5” journalist’s camera with the three-cell flash, which is also the same one used to make Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber in Star Wars. It’s hard to say what is my favorite when I’m passionate about it all.

MID-CENTURY MODERN HAS RISEN IN POPULARITY, IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE… the well-designed furniture of that era had a sense of form and function that made it fit with the modern lifestyle. It was about beautiful woodgrain, experimental materials, masterful design, and an ethos that considered how this creation might make your life better somehow.

A STORY I’LL NEVER FORGET FROM FINDING VINTAGE PIECES WAS… many years ago we attended a sale of items found in the hidden room behind someone’s closet. It was filled, packed to the ceiling with the most interesting and bizarre items from an old taxi driver. He had signed photos of all of his favorite characters in film and stage from the 1930s-50s, crazy books, films, lots of toys, and ephemera in that oddly large secret room. Everything else in the home, outside of that secret room, had to be thrown away, but the memory of the wonders in that room will never leave us.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE “VINTAGE CURIOSITIES” HAS BEEN… an RCA Iconoscope Live Television Tube made in the 1950s. If you did live TV at that time, you did it with this tube. But, lately, it would have to be our

ONE OF THE OLDEST PIECES WE’VE HAD AT THE STORE WAS... a pottery footed bowl from the 15th century. WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT URBAN ARCHAEOLOGY IS... that we have products ranging from $1 up to the thousands, and have more than can be shown on the floor. We love to find items for everyone and have also worked with interior designers for many years to find the perfect items to complete their home or business. SOMETHING WE’RE DOING WITH OUR BUSINESS RIGHT NOW THAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT IS… that we will be doing a show in April showing a collection of photographs from our very own vintage film cameras sold here, and also put the spotlight on the talented local artists who took them. Film is coming back with a new perspective, and we want to invite everyone to stop in and check it out. We will post dates for the opening online and in the shop. WHEN I WALK AROUND DOWNTOWN, ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO STOP BY IS... the Old Courthouse Museum. We, of course, love to walk down Phillips Avenue with our family and stop by all the stores. We make an effort to support other local businesses, as so many of them have supported us over the years. It is such a hardworking and passionate community.

8 4 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

SOMETHING THAT IS INFLUENCING ME RIGHT NOW IS... a large collection of 1960’s civil rights ephemera. From Kennedy correspondence, civil disobedience, to the March on Washington. I LOVE TO GRAB A BITE OR DRINK AT... any restaurant downtown. There is such a variety, with each one having its own specialty. You're sure to never run out of new options to eat. MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO FOR INSPIRATION IS... our humble acreage on a hill overlooking the Big Sioux River valley. We remodeled an old 1800s farm into what is our home today. You really appreciate the craftsmanship and love when you're designing and building it yourself. ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA IS... that there is a spirit of individuality, but also a strong sense of community, inclusion, and participation.

HANG OUT WITH

Hester Prouty PHOTOS BY HUBBARD VISUALS

Hester and Joe Prouty moved into their small-batch production studio in the former Landstrom building in Rapid City almost a year ago, using clay from South Dakota for their popular mugs, bowls, and more. The business, dubbed Prouty Pottery, started to invite people in to not only purchase their items, but to give them the option to create their own masterpieces. Get your hands dirty by taking one of their classes, including pottery, clay creation, mixed media, and canvas painting. 605 caught up with one half of the creative couple to see what they enjoy doing when they’re not “elbow deep” in projects.

like that. Owning your own business is a lot of work. Most days when we get off, we come straight home and veg out in the living room. We have two teenage boys that we force to spend time with us.

I love the historic feel of the Elks Theatre building. I love old things. Oh, and the popcorn.

I love to learn new things. I dabble in many art forms. You never know what you're going to like until you try it out. That's also why we have a variety of classes.

I can literally sit for hours reading through magazines and drinking coffee at BAM Bookstore. I’m more of a visual person, so I enjoy looking at all of the photos.

We don't eat a nice meal out often, but when we do, we like to go to Dakota Steakhouse. The steaks are wonderful.

I’m obsessed with plants and trees. I spend much of my time wandering through Jolly Lane Greenhouse’s various gardens, and I actually take notes. Yes, I'm a nerd

NOW HIRING BY KYLE DETERMAN

HE FIRST JOB I HAD WAS AT A TASTE OF THE BIG APPLE, WHICH

WAS KNOWN FOR ITS NEW YORK-STYLE PIZZA

AND HAS SINCE CLOSED. THAT RESTAURANT HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART, AND I COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER “FIRST JOB” EXPERIENCE.

From there I dabbled in retail, grocery, and I even ended up working at the National Music Museum once I moved to Vermillion for college (go Yotes). Once I decided to stick out the summers in between semesters, I knew I needed something full time, which is when I landed at Kids of Character, a local daycare. My first day was the Monday after the end of my freshman year of college. I remember this because by Wednesday I was home sick with the worst stomach flu I had ever had. Little did I know, this was expected, and when I called in, in fear of losing my newly acquired job, my boss laughed and told me the worst was over and to stay hydrated.

FAMILY EVENTS

Apparently kids have germs, and when you spend two full days with them, you are bound to catch something. After what I thought was my brush with death, I recovered enough to quickly realize I was in for a treat; one that would end up changing my perspective on children, childcare, and myself. Fast forward to finding out I was pregnant with Sloan, and it was time (actually much too late) to try and find a daycare for when we went back to work. From working at KOC, I knew I wanted something small, preferably in-home,

and with someone who radiated compassion and kindness. Well, when you wait until seven months pregnant to find childcare, your pickings are slim. In a panicked state, we started calling anyone and everyone for recommendations and suggestions, and landed at a center near our home. Actually, it was one of two locations in Sioux Falls, and that alone made me uneasy. Not because I had any reason to worry about this specific place, but because I was used to a tight-knit environment, and for some reason, that felt safe.

What I've Learned O Like adults, babies crave structure and schedules. Do your best to keep them on the same schedule over the weekend that they have at daycare. (Your sleep schedule will thank you.)

9 2 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

O Little gestures of gratitude toward your daycare providers mean more than you think. Gift cards during the holidays, family photos, and even a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? will go a long way.

O Sometimes babies get scratched, bump their heads, or even brawl with other babies. Remember that scrapes generally look worse than they are, and babies are more resilient than we could ever know.

HAPPY HOUR

Against my better judgement, Reid convinced me to give them a chance and we went for a tour. Designated rooms. Consistency. Cameras. Secure entry. It all played out like it was supposed to, and even though we felt confident in their ability to care for our soon-to-be bambino, something still felt off. Getting closed to D-Day, we didn’t have the luxury to be picky, and therefore went with the center. I was honestly sick about it, which is when I realized it wasn’t the size of the center that was getting to me, it was the fact that I wouldn’t be working there, caring for my baby. Everyone talks about separation anxiety and how hard it is to go back to work they aren’t wrong. It’s so difficult to drop off your baby, drive away, and still be expected to focus on whatever it is you should be doing while you frantically check the clock until it’s time to go retrieve your little bundle of joy. I wish I could continue this article by giving advice on how to make it easier for you, or what you should look for in a daycare, but I'm just as new to this as some of you are.

However, there's one thing I can say about daycare that I'll always swear by: have a relationship with your daycare providers and never forget they’re people. I remember a time while I was working at KOC that will always stand out as my ah-ha moment. In a matter of one week, my friend’s mother passed away, I had to give a 1-year-old the heimlich, and three of our babies contracted pink eye. For anyone that has ever had any of those things happen, it's overwhelming. But something really interesting happened during that fateful July week. Somehow I had the ability to set my life aside and completely devote my full attention and energy to these tiny humans, some of whom I had only known for a few months.

That’s the thing about childcare workers. Our children aren’t a work assignment or a deadline that has to be met. These workers look at our kids as theirs, in the most incredible way possible. They're able to care for them unconditionally, while still maintaining a life outside of daycare.

Daycare Hacks DESIGNATE A BAG (OTHER THAN YOUR DIAPER BAG) TO BRING TO DAYCARE, AND ALWAYS KEEP AN EXTRA PAIR OF CLOTHES IN IT. IF YOUR BABY IS PICKY ABOUT FOOD, BOTTLES, OR NAPS, MAKE YOUR DAYCARE PROVIDER A CHEAT SHEET. ALWAYS MAKE DAYCARE DROP-OFFS FUN BY TALKING ABOUT EXCITING ACTIVITIES, PLAYMATES, OR SHOWING OFF A NEW OUTFIT. THIS WILL HELP BOTH YOU AND YOUR BABY TREMENDOUSLY.

Having worked in the baby business, I find I’m so much more careful with how I interact with Sloan’s teachers, which becomes even more apparent when I see other parents at daycare complaining about no socks or asking why their baby is crying. Let me tell you, babies hate socks and babies cry. Both are facts and both are hard to avoid. With that being said, your baby probably spent 20 minutes playing with other babies, learning about interaction and communication, and

9 4 \\\\\\\\\ A P R I L

more than likely, they got cuddled beyond belief and may have even laughed once or twice. What I'm trying to say is that leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a difficult milestone for any parent, especially when you leave them with complete strangers. However, remember that working at a daycare isn’t for everyone, and the people that stick it out are there for the right reasons. They're there because watching babies grow and learn outweighs the babies

that never stop crying or the babies that have diapers that rival chernobyl. They're there because they have the ability to love your children in ways that transform them from complete strangers to family. So, loosen your grip on that carseat, tell your baby you love them, and thank your daycare workers for their nonstop hard work and endless patience.•

ASK THE JOHNS

Know Your SD

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

JR: Is this a 50 Shades situation? Like you’re supposed to watch him eat? My mom and I love that movie and watch it all the time when it’s on TV. People say there are naked people in it, but it always cuts to commercials, so I think they watched a different movie? JW: Sounds like this conversation should be more between you and your self-control. I’m sure your boyfriend’s burrito obsession is healthy. JT: I would be open and say it makes it hard for you to eat better when he’s eating tempting things in front of you. He should understand and happily eat his fast food in the car or wherever.

THIS GUY I’VE BEEN SEEING STARTED TO TAKE YOGA CLASSES WITH ME, AND HE HAS BEEN WEARING ‘MAN LEGGINGS’ TO CLASS THAT I THINK ARE A LITTLE EMBARRASSING (THINK FULL-ON MOOSE KNUCKLE). DO I TELL HIM, OR AM I BEING TOO CRITICAL? JR: In the times of sexual

fluidity, let him do what he wants with that knuckle. They probably help him with his flexible positions, and isn’t that what you want?! Now I’m thinking of 50 Shades again... JW: Your boyfriend sounds

like a beta-male. I’m sure you could tell him to put his hand over an open flame and he’d be cool with it. Just tell him what he’s wearing next time.

MY HUSBAND IS WONDERFUL, BUT IS A TERRIBLE GIFT GIVER. HE USUALLY BUYS ME GIFTS THAT ARE BETTER SUITED FOR HIM (IE: AN AIR COMPRESSOR, A GRILL, ETC.). HOW DO I TELL HIM WITHOUT SOUNDING UNGRATEFUL?

South Dakota is the secondmost business-friendly state.

+ 1883 The first South Dakota business was established in 1883.

JR: Maybe for his next birthday buy him a hair straightener or pedicure. I love pedicures. JW: That guy rules. The dream is to buy your sweetheart a compressed air powered impact wrench and get away with it. JT: A gift is a gift, but these are clearly gifts for him. I have to agree with JW… he’s a genius.

JT: He’s trying to spend time with you. I would just appreciate it and embrace said leggings.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO EAT BETTER, BUT MY BOYFRIEND KEEPS MAKING FOOD THAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID. HOW DO I TELL HIM WITHOUT HURTING HIS FEELINGS?
