Irish Twins Soap Company BY KAYLYN DEITER
IRISH TWINS SOAP COMPANY BUSINESS INFO HISTORIC DOWNTOWN BERESFORD (121 NORTH THIRD STREET) OPEN 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M. WEDNESDAY – SATURDAY (605) 351-9564 FACEBOOK: IRISH TWINS SOAP COMPANY
ERIN NELSON WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A JOB THAT WOULD ALLOW HER TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER YOUNG SONS. SO SHE SEARCHED “SOAP MOLDS” ON CRAIGSLIST. Nine years later, that job search became Irish Twins Soap Company, an artisan soap business selling handmade soaps, bath bombs, laundry detergent, and other natural household products across the country, all from their storefront in Beresford. “I was always interested in all-natural products,” said Nelson. “I’m sensitive to certain chemicals, and when I found something that worked for me, I wanted to share it. I didn’t see it becoming this. It just kind of took over my whole house!”
The name of Irish Twins was inspired by an actual set of Irish twins, or siblings born less than a year apart: Nelson and her sister, who also happen to be Irish. “We started out making soaps and brainstorming ideas together,” said Nelson. “She doesn’t live here anymore, but we’re still really close.” Soaps no longer cover Nelson’s kitchen counter, but she and her husband Koalin (along with their shop dog, Bandit) continue to spend most of their time experimenting with different recipes, essential oils, and techniques to create new natural products. “Making soap is my happy place,” said Nelson. “It’s really just trial and error with our products. We use a couple core recipes and switch out essential oils.” Cold-process soap is by far Irish Twins Soap

Company’s best seller. Free from toxins and never animal tested, this type of bar soap is where the company all began for Nelson nine years ago. But since then, she’s added a plethora of other items to the lineup, including sugar scrubs, lip balm, mud masks, soy wax candles, bath truffles, and raw honey, just to name a few. Irish Twins also carries products that Nelson doesn’t make herself. From perfume and essential oils to insect repellent and linen spray, these items may not be created in Nelson’s shop, but they also uphold her commitment to natural-made, high-quality products without all the chemicals. “I think it’s super important to integrate natural products into our lifestyles,” said Nelson. “We need to head in the direction of sustainability.” While you’re most likely to find Irish Twins’

products at Nelson’s shop on Main Street in Beresford, the company also hosts events, sells wholesale to other businesses, and does pop-up shops at local farmers’ markets and arts festivals. “My favorite part of running the business is making soap in the back room with my stereo turned up and my dog right beside me,” continued Nelson, “but my husband loves doing the events. He likes to be out there
interacting with customers, so it’s a good balance.” With all the festivals and fairs the summer brings, it would seem the company is right in the middle of its busy season, but Nelson said she’s actually already working on things for their busiest time of year: Christmas. “The holidays are definitely our busiest time,” she said. “We make a lot of gifts and gift bags.”
This may be Nelson’s outlook three months down the road, but the soap aficionado is also looking ahead even further, thinking about the future of her business and where she wants Irish Twins to be as the company that started in her kitchen approaches its second decade. “I’d like to see an expansion on products that I don’t make myself,” Nelson said. “It’s fun to discover those brands that share the same values.”
But while some things change and grow, other aspects of this small, artisan business will no doubt remain the same, most notably Nelson’s personal commitment to her customers. “The people who shop here are lovely,” she said. “They just keep coming back, and I hope they will continue to over the next nine years.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT IRISHTWINSSOAPS.COM.

FOR A TREAT OR LIGHT BITE O BOBKAT’S OLD FASHION PURPLE PIE PLACE 19 MOUNT RUSHMORE ROAD
It’s hard to miss Bobkat’s Old Fashion Purple Pie Place. The staple of Custer is a purple house a couple of blocks from downtown, and serves “the best homemade pie in the Black Hills.” Bob and Kathie Yehle, who lived in California, purchased the business after finding out it was for sale. “My daughter owns Baker’s Bakery [and Cafe] in Custer, and we wanted to be closer to our grandkids,” he said. “So we changed the name to Bobkat’s (a combination of our names), updated the menu, and painted the entire building purple since it had been known as the ‘purple pie place.’” The company has a more extensive menu since then, and offers soup, sandwiches, pies (of course), and ice cream. A fixture for summer and fall, you can either order a slice of pie or take home a whole pie (they ship pies nationwide online). The Purple Pie Place serves hundreds of slices of pie a week during tourist season, and they have traditional flavors and unique ones, like the Raspberry Rhubarb Jalapeño. “We offer 12 varieties of pies, and Kathie also makes a cream pie of the day,” said Bob. Fresh sandwiches include the Chicken Salad Sandwich made from scratch, with fresh chicken breast baked in Purple Pie’s seasonings. They add their special sauce (no, they will not give you the recipe), and finish it off with celery and raisins. There are also paninis and entrees, like the signature Chicken Pot Pie, made with tender chunks of chicken with vegetables in a creamy chicken gravy, served in a flaky-crust bowl.

O SKOGEN KITCHEN 29 NORTH 5TH STREET
A chef-driven concept, Skogen Kitchen offers innovative breakfast and dinner options. Owners Eliza (general manager) and Joseph Raney (executive chef) have worked and learned from some of the best companies in the food service industry, like Disney and the Patina Restaurant group. Skogen means “the forest” in Norwegian, and is a nod to their heritage and surroundings. Their menu is influenced from other cultures, as well. “The chef and I moved here from southern California and I’m originally a Minnesota girl, so I wanted to move back to the Midwest,” said Eliza. “We fell in love with this little town of Custer and found this spot.” Items include must-haves like the Suckling Pig with toasted buckwheat, peach, watermelon, and balsamic buttermilk jus.

The quaint eatery, which seats 31 inside and 14 outside, is in demand, so reservations are “seriously suggested." “For dinner, they are almost required now,” she said. “If you’re coming, just give us a call.” Though it’s impeccable dining, attire is casual. And don’t be surprised to get to know Eliza by the end of the evening, as she personally visits with each table now and again.

O GOLD PAN SALOON 508 MOUNT RUSHMORE ROAD
The oldest bar in Custer has made some changes recently. “[The Gold Pan Saloon] probably dates back to the 1880s-1890s,” said bartender Carrie Smith. “The swinging doors are very famous, so that when the new owner bought it, she kept those in it. Then we also had sawdust floors, which unfortunately, we don’t have those anymore.”
C RA F T C O C K TA I L S , TA S T Y B RE WS, & A LOV E LY W I N E S E LE C T I O N .
While still "old style," it's had some slightly modern updates, but not too many. “I was trying to stick with the old style as much as possible,” said owner Barbara Nelson. “People love it. They love the old-time bar feel.” Taxidermy is strewn along the walls, including a bear holding a lantern. Nelson laughed, “Most of [the taxidermy] are from customers who don’t have the room for them, and they bring them here.” Now the classic establishment has a cabin feel, with cowhide barstools and plaid upholstered chairs. Along with drinks are limited food items. Food includes pizza, onion rings, and wings. Taco Tuesday is all summer long, starting at 5 p.m. “until gone.” Live music from Carrie Fischer and Ivan is every first and third Saturday of the month. Eight drafts are always on tap, including a couple local brews. “You can do five beers and you get the sixth one free, and we put them in a bucket with ice,” said Smith. “And we also sell the pint glasses for 10 dollars, so you can fill it up with the draft of your choice. We do the pint and we also have the 32-ounce, the big glasses. Those are really nice. They're really cold on a hot day.” Open Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. FACEBOOK (605) 673-8850

FOR AN ADVENTURE O ADVENTURE RENTALS 444 MOUNT RUSHMORE ROAD
One of the newest businesses in Custer is Adventure Rentals right in the heart of downtown. Alex Niemann and his wife, Holly, own the tiny establishment that rents everything from ATVs to bikes to mopeds to kayaks to paddleboards. “Pretty much anything you want to do out in the Black Hills, we can provide it for you, so you don’t have to haul all the stuff in from your own house. You can pick it up here,” he said. Aiming to not have visitors stuck in the car and able to enjoy the fresh air of the Black Hills, the company makes renting easy, with an online option for booking. Each unit has park passes and forest permits, and the ATVs are street and highway legal. ATVs can fit anywhere from two to six people. “We try to get everyone’s vacation to be the highlight, right here,” said Neimann. “We have one of the largest inventories in the state, so we can usually try to make accommodations for anybody, no matter what,” he continued. “We love it out here. It’s the most beautiful place in the world.” When renting an ATV, you have access to over 1.2 million acres in the Black Hills, almost 4,000 miles of roads and trails, hidden treasures, and scenic vistas. Open every day 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., and rentals are available 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. ADVENTURERENTALSSD.COM (866) 445-5386

Life in Drive: Erika Ristau
TELL ME ABOUT GROWING UP IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
BY KYLE DETERMAN | HUBBARD VISUALS
ERIKA RISTAU: Growing up in Rapid City was the best. I was fortunate to grow up with two beautiful, loving parents who worked their butts off to make sure I had a great childhood and the building blocks to a successful adulthood. I vividly remember driving around the Black Hills in my dad’s CJ7, going hiking, and collecting as many rocks as possible.
Born and raised in Black Hawk, Erika Ristau spent the majority of her childhood traveling the winding roads of the Black Hills in her dad’s CJ-7, hiking and collecting rocks. Now a barista, Ristau is still traveling, but from the comfort of her van-converted-home, “Nellie.” 605 was lucky to catch Ristau before her next trip and ask her about van life in the Midwest and what it means to really travel.
TRAVEL NO-NOS: EE Don’t spit your toothpaste on the ground. There are chemicals. EE Buy reusable water bottles. Staying hydrated while traveling is so important, but be responsible. EE Don’t honk in six-lane traffic. Everyone is just as stressed as you are.
WHERE ARE YOU WORKING/ LIVING RIGHT NOW? ER: Dornans in Moose, Wyo., which is about 12 miles north of Jackson Hole and one mile east of the Grand Teton Mountains. I work outside on a coffee cart at the base of the mountains. They let me park the van down by the river (yes, I’ve seen the SNL skit, and yes, I’m seriously living in a van down by the river) and give me three meals a day. My coworkers (now friends) all live here in the dorms. My 'commute' to work is a short walk up a gravel path that mirrors the mountains. I get to watch the sun rise while I open shop and continue to watch the clouds dance with the sun over the Grand Tetons all day. WHY DO YOU TRAVEL?
"BE FLUID. LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO STRESS ABOUT WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO SLEEP AT NIGHT, ABOUT WHAT HIKE YOU’LL BE DOING TOMORROW, OR IF YOU TOOK A WRONG TURN 80 MILES BACK.”
3 0 \\\\\\\\\ A U G U S T
ER: I travel, because some day when I’m old, I want to be able to tell my mildly inspiring stories to 19-yearolds. I want to experience life in every dimension possible. Traveling, to me, is just an open door into some of those avenues. It’s really hard to talk about traveling and not sound cliché… but it truly is an inspiring experience that I would recommend to anyone. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT TRAVELING? ER: Chasing snakes. Let me explain: I have this ridiculous, irrational fear of snakes. It doesn’t matter if they are big, small, poisonous, or otherwise. Over the course of the past few years I’ve been trying to get over that fear, so my new strategy for dealing with snakes is to stop, breathe, observe, and move on. When I first started traveling on my own, I was terrified of a lot of stupid, irrational things. I was
LIFESTYLE
afraid to sleep in parking lots. I was afraid to brush my teeth in public bathrooms, but most of all, I was terrified of people. When I started traveling alone, I realized it was not only impractical to fear most of these things, it was actually crippling my traveling experiences. So, I slowly started “chasing snakes.” Instead of sitting by myself in a coffee shop, I would ask to join others. Instead of hiding at a campsite, I started Googling events going on in the area. I found myself going to concerts, farmers' markets, and arts festival across the country. So, in short, my favorite part of traveling is how much it pushes me to experience new things, and how it opens new doors that I never imagined I would be walking through. It actively creates me. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR VAN. ER: Nellie and I have been together for a year and some change. I named her Nellie Bly after this super rad woman from the 1800s who traveled around the world in 72 days by herself with nothing but a backpack and a journal. It seemed appropriate for the direction I was heading. Plus, whenever I’m going down a dicey road, there is nothing more satisfying than yelling “Woah, Nellie!” I moved into it in late February, and it was stupid cold, but so worth it. I used to park in trailhead parking lots or at the coffee shop I was working at at the time. It was a fun transition from weekend warrior vehicle to full-time home. You really begin to learn what you do and don’t actually need. When I first moved in, I tried to pack in all my clothes and trinkets from past trips, books, and a bunch of camping gear. As time went on, a lot of that stuff began to disappear, and just the essentials remained. IS THERE A SPECIFIC DESIGN AESTHETIC? ER: (Laughs) Absolutely not. If anything, it’s just
practical. I’m not really that picky with how things look. My bed is made out of exposed two-by-fours, and one of my buddy's leftover siding from his tiny house. You can definitely tell Nellie is a budget van, but I love it and I’m so proud of it. DO YOU PLAN YOUR TRIPS OR ARE THEY MORE SPONTANEOUS? ER: I hate the ‘p’ word. My trips are usually outlined, maybe one week prior to whenever I’m leaving. I don’t plan for a couple of reasons. One, it’s freaking hard. I hate researching things. I hate staring at a screen for hours, mapping and organizing, and trying to find places to camp and hike. If you have a plan beautifully lined up and you get this idea of how the trip is ‘supposed to play out,’ you limit yourself to experiencing just one version of the trip. I like to be a little more fluid these days. If you don’t plan anything, then you’re open to everything and the world becomes this exciting oyster in your hands. DO YOU TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS OR SOLO? ER: I mostly travel solo, which I'm fairly proud to admit. I lived a decently sheltered life, and was incredibly afraid of the world until I began to travel by my lonesome. My first solo trip was in February of last year. Everyone close to me was pretty skeptical, but I was determined. I pulled a double shift at the job I was working at, loaded up the Ford, and hit the road. I got off work at 2 a.m. and drove all night until I reached my destination the next day. I will never forget passing the Utah sign; I was extremely stoked that I did it. Since then, I have been somewhere every month. I have definitely done my share of traveling with friends, too. My favorite person to travel with is, hands down, my dad. He’s great to take on the road because of his motivation to hike every day. Every morning he’ll pull out a map
(the man loves maps) and find a hike for us to do. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO TRAVEL? ER: If I had to pick, it would be anywhere in Utah. I love the people. I love the culture. I love the colors and I love the way it makes me feel. The desert is a special place that demands a different kind of appreciation. To anyone who has never been, I highly recommend catching a sunset in Canyonlands National Park. WHERE IS ONE PLACE YOU STILL NEED TO VISIT? ER: One place that has been steadily moving up towards the top of my list is Mount Kilimanjaro, or Baja, Mexico. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR TRAVEL NEWBIES? ER: Getting lost can be a hoot if you let it be. Never go to the first or last gas station you see in a town. They’re always more expensive, so try to go to one located a couple of exits into town. If you’re going to three or more national parks in a year, I highly recommend the $80 parks pass. WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT VEHICULAR TRAVEL? ER: Whoever is driving gets the ultimate say on the tunage, especially if you’re driving through the night. That’s my only road trip rule. But really, the only advice I can give about traveling in a vehicle is to keep it clean, keep yourself clean, and check your oil. FOR MORE INFORMATION, FOLLOW RISTAU ON INSTAGRAM @RICKYONTHERUN_. •

AT HOME JON + JENNY MAMMENGA
W
When Jon and Jenny Mammenga found their south McKennan Park home in 2013, it was their first home together. Built in 1938, 2018 marks 80 years.
“It’s 80 this year. Happy birthday, house,” laughed Jenny. While the 2,500-square-foot home is celebrating a milestone, it looks very different from the way it did on the purchase date. “Everything has changed,” said Jenny. “The structure of the house is the same, and the original wood floors are the same, but we’ve updated a lot of things to this house.” While work needed to be done, it checked the boxes of what they were looking for. “We wanted a house that had character, we wanted to live in central Sioux Falls, and one that was kind of a fixer upper, so when we found this place it met our requirements,” she said. Not just the house has changed. Jenny, an assistant United States Attorney, and Jon, the executive director of planned giving at the USD Foundation, welcomed twins Sloane and Wilson in 2016, and their family home hasn’t been the same since.

O THE KITCHEN Walking with coffee cups in hand, we began our chat and meandered through the open archways toward the kitchen. Sloane and Wilson darted from both directions, flying past with different toys, as Jon tried to corral them. “It’s not as open concept obviously as a brand new house, but it’s not as chopped up as other houses over here,” explained Jenny. “There are so many houses where there is a doorway to a room and everything has its own room. Here, the archways open things up and make it have more of a modern feel.” When asked about their style, she said "eclectic and neutral based," with a lot of black, white, and gray. “I guess I’d say it’s Fixer Upper before I knew that was a style,” she said. “The first time I watched it was the day after we had the
twins, and I saw the show and was like, ‘Oh my gosh this is a show... oh my gosh this looks just like our house.’ And then I felt weird, like we had followed this trend I didn’t know existed.” Entering the bright, white kitchen, she mentioned this also was not how it looked when they first moved in. “We updated the kitchen to be bright and cheerful and a happy place to congregate,” said Jenny. “When we first moved in, all the cabinets were dark, and the walls were dark red and that wasn’t what we wanted.” They added a subway tile backsplash, which also carries into the main floor bathroom. The wall color was inspired by a teapot Jenny still has, which, as paint, turned out to be Stuart Gold by Benjamin Moore. “I’ve had that teapot for 15 years. I love that color, and I was like, ‘I want a kitchen this color,’” said Jenny. “Which is funny, because I think I got it from somewhere like TJ Maxx.” Though it's a galley kitchen, she said there is plenty of space. Sometimes. “The addition of the twins has made the kitchen more cramped with all four of us in it,” she said. Jenny also pointed out an old bench sitting against the wall from an estate sale. “There’s green paint on it that I try to scour off,” she continued, “but it’s marked up and old, and I like it. I guess that’s where a lot of my finds are from - either estate sales or thrifty finds at places like Target and Pottery Barn.”

O THE DINING ROOM Jenny continued about stores anyone has access to as we walked a few steps into the dining room. The twins had made their way behind the sheer curtains, and we joked the house was haunted by (adorable) ghosts. “In here is a mix of a bunch of different stuff,” said Jenny. “The table is from World Market, the chairs are from Target. I get a lot of things that aren’t very expensive, but look nice. The reality is that I don’t want to be upset when the twins ruin our furniture or table and I have to get rid of them.” Jon chimed in laughing, “The kids or the furniture?”

“That came out weird,” she said. Jenny continued, “It’s nice because we can change things out. Like I didn’t spend $6,000 on my dining room set so we have to have this forever – we can mix and match it as we want.” The buffalo artwork is also from World Market, and the couple restretched and re-framed it. In the corner is a wine rack that was brought over as a gift from Jenny’s mother that now holds wine from a recent trip to Napa. “My mom just brought [the wine rack] over one day,” she said. “It’s
made me buy more wine, because now I have to keep it full.” A hutch close by is from I-29 Antiques, which Jenny repainted and added new handles. It holds dishware, including their china set. “I registered like an idiot when you’re getting married for fine china, like I’m going to be having these elaborate parties at 27,” laughed Jenny. “Our close family friend bought me the Kate Spade fine china salt and pepper shakers, and then I found the rest of the set at an estate sale for $50. I think I got the rest for the cost of the salt and pepper shakers, and they somehow match amazingly.”

O MAIN FLOOR CONTINUES Walking down the hallway, Jon and Jenny mentioned the old main floor railing and the lack of a railing going upstairs to what is now the nursery. “We added all of the black and white posting, and it ended up looking like an amazing addition to the house,” said Jenny. Jon agreed, “It really finishes off the space.” The main bathroom originally had black floors, and the rest was brown and yellow. “It had an old pink Jacuzzi tub in it, and when we ran the water black stuff came out. It was so bad,” said Jenny. Now it has all new everything, with new flooring, bright whites with gray accents, and a sink that fits the space with storage, which was difficult to find. “We had a really hard time finding a sink that wasn’t a pedestal sink for the space, because I wanted some storage,” she explained. “So many bathrooms in the area only have a pedestal sink due to space, and I randomly found a floor model at Frisbee’s for $100 and painted it to match the railing.” Continuing to the open office that leads to the deck, Jenny mentioned the chandelier is one of the only original light fixtures in the house. “I love that one, but the rest needed to go,” she said. “We found most of our new ones at build.com.” The bird art is from World Market, and the desk is from Ikea that was found at a garage sale. An antique framed photo and the typewriter were purchased from estate sales. One of Jenny’s favorite pieces is the “tribal art” that she purchased when she lived in Pierre. “I got it at an auction, actually. It’s one of my few successful purchases at an auction, which is exciting,” she laughed.

O LIVING ROOM A few steps into the living room, Jenny pointed to the two modern chairs in front of the fireplace. “I obviously don’t shy away from Target, which is where they're from.” There were not always Target chairs there, though, which is another example of why cheaper, quality products can be helpful with young children. “We had these awesome polka dot antique chairs, and [the twins] tore one up completely,” she said. “The nails fell out, the springs fell in, the upholstery started coming off. So I got these instead at a steal. They want to sit in them all the time, and now I don’t care and they can just go.” The fireplace was once orange and red until the couple painted it to brighten up the room. A few highlights included the end table from Jenny’s great grandparents, antique law books, and a corner lamp from an estate sale. The area rug? From Target. “Wilson ruined the other rug I loved with his vomit,” she said. A few wedding gifts are in the living room, including an assortment of crystal candleholders and a piece by Paul Schiller of a cave in Utah. “I love it. It’s very different than some of his other work, too,” she said. Off the living room is the front door entryway, with an ornate wooden armoire and a folded table that used to be Jenny’s kitchen table in Pierre. “When we had our wedding, we actually used this as our alter,” she said. The front door is painted a welcoming yellow. “I like yellow. I’m a neutral color person, except for yellow,” she said. “I wanted the house to be traditional looking outside, but with a fun element.”

THE CHAIR FROM TINY TOES HAS BEEN GREAT FOR “ROCKING THE LITTLE PEEPS.”
O THE NURSERY Walking up the recently carpeted stairs, we turned the corner to the children’s room. “I painted this room the same color as the bathroom downstairs to make it light and airy,” she said. Black and white is a prime theme, which fits with having the twins share a room. “I knew I always wanted to use this room as our nursery, and before I knew I was having two babies, I wanted to make it black, white, and grays to be gender neutral, since I didn’t want to find out what I was having,” she said. “Then, when I found out I was having two babies of two different genders, it worked out well.” The wall art is from Etsy from an artist in Australia. “It was actually hard to find children’s art in black and white,” she said. The dresser was a gift from Jenny’s mom that she also refinished. To match, Jenny took her aunt’s old end table and used the same handles to create a set. As an alumna, it was a special gift when Jenny’s mom purchased and recovered the seat of a dining room chair from Alpha Phi, which came from the actual dining room from Jenny’s former USD sorority. “She gave one to me and one to my aunt,” she said. A light touch of pink is on the hanging blanket off of Sloane’s crib. “We added some HVAC to heat the kids’ room better in the winter,” said Jenny. “This house is old, and that’s the hard part about having an old house is making some of those investments.”

O A NEW HOME It’s bittersweet that this is one of the last days the Mammengas will be in their first home as a family. By the time this publishes, they will have moved into their new home, which was built in 1966.
JENNY PURCHASED THE PATIO FURNITURE FOR $100 AT THE END OF SEASON AT HY-VEE.
“It will be a different look,” said Jenny. “We’ll be able to have rooms on the same floor and we know eventually [the twins] won’t want to share a bedroom.” Leaning against Wilson’s crib, she reflected on the change. “I’m so sad to not live here, though I do know it’s good for our family,” she said. “This is a great house. If we had one child or not two at the same age, I would stay here. It’s still in central Sioux Falls and is established with trees, which was important to me.” Jon added, “It’s tough to leave this place. Once we did all of the work to it, it really felt like ours. But it’s a necessary move.” And with a new home comes new memories for the Mammengas.•

Urban Indianz Podcast BY MORGAN MATZEN
IT’S BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE THE LAUNCH OF THE URBAN INDIANZ PODCAST THROUGH THESIOUXEMPIRE. COM, ROBERT MEHLING’S PODCAST EMPIRE. Mehling produces six podcasts, and decided to get previous Sioux Empire Podcast guest co-host Gabriel Night Shield set up with Urban Indianz. Night Shield is well known for his
hip hop career, releasing his seventh album in October, touring the country, and winning several Native American music awards, as well as appearing on MTV. Mehling produces, edits, and runs the business side of the podcasts from his apartment studio in Sioux Falls, while Night Shield and co-hosts create the content. Regular Urban Indianz podcast hosts include Night Shield, his friend through the hip hop scene, Levi Hansen, close friend Char Green-
Maximo, and Night Shield’s sister-in-law and active community member, Kathy Stands. Topics have ranged from everything to hip hop to comic books to cultural appropriation to the reality of Thanksgiving to meth and opioid addiction. A mission of the podcast is to shatter the two stereotypes of Native American people, says Night Shield. “In the media, I always saw Natives mentioned as the
drunk downtown, passed-out person, or the person that was living in the tipi that was super traditional, smoked a peace pipe, and lived off the land,” he said. “It was never the in-between person like myself and hundreds of other people that are just going to work, raising a family, and doing the normal everyday person stuff.” Night Shield says he wanted the podcast to be the voice of the in-betweener, the “Urban Indianz” of the world, providing a middle ground
between the two stereotypes. One of his personal favorite episodes was ninth episode “Two-Spirit,” a label some LGBTQ+ Native American people identify as. Stands moved from the Rosebud Reservation to Sioux Falls in 2002, and says she enjoys the podcast because the group can go from an open chat where they laugh for an hour and a half, to discussing serious topics like meth addiction. “I just like that it reaches so

many people, and it’s given them a fresh look on Native Americans,” she said. An assumption many people might have about Native people living in urban environments is that they might have just moved there from a reservation, Hansen says, or that life on a reservation is the same for everyone, no matter where they come from. “The podcast itself helps us deal with that,” he said. “It provides an educated look at the life of a modern Native American, and breaks up the stigma that Native Americans are one way or another.” Green-Maximo says her favorite episode so far was episode 18, which featured Jennifer White of Post Pilgrim Gallery. “She’s super passionate, and like us, she’s an urban Native and she’s done really cool
work with her gallery,” she said. “It’s cool to see someone bring their vision to life. She’s got so much energy, and it’s cool to be around people like that.” Green-Maximo says the podcast helps spread the group’s shared perspective, but also highlights their distinct identities. “I think we all bring something unique to the table with our experience, background, history and culture,” she said. “Living in an urban area, I think we all have a very different story on how we got here and what we think about things.” “Hopefully, this podcast will bring more awareness and more events to the Sioux Falls area, and create more of a community for Natives here in Sioux Falls,” she said.

WORKING UNDERGROUND A LO O K AT T H E S A N FO R D
U N D E R G R O U N D R E S E A R C H FAC I L I T Y
“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW.” The Homestake Mine in Lead delved deep underground for gold until its closure in 2002, which made a huge impact in the community. Homestake was the largest and deepest gold mine in North America, producing approximately 41 million ounces of gold in its 126-year lifetime. In 2006, the mine became a dedicated underground research facility where scientists probe the depths of space to learn more about our place in the universe. When 605 was invited for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to go down into what is now the Sanford Underground Research Facility (i.e. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is one of the more famous people who have gone underground), the team jumped at the chance to see what scientists from all over the globe are working on.

CHECKING IN 605 worked closely with Sanford Lab communications director Constance Walter for scheduling and the tour itself. Tours must be planned by the minute, as the scientists and staff members’ times are extremely valuable, to see as much as possible, and to make the times for the Yates Shaft (we’ll get more into that). Our team arrived at the surface-level building at 6:30 a.m., and we began in a conference room with a safety briefing that included
two videos. Safety is (obviously) huge at the Sanford Lab. We then learned more about why world-leading science experiments, like the search for dark matter, are happening in the small town of Lead, and why they’re taking place a mile underground. The facility’s depth, rock stability, and history make it ideal for sensitive experiments that need to escape cosmic rays. After the videos were over and we signed our lives away via forms,
we were brought to the PPE room (which stands for personal protective equipment), and were given gear that included a hard hat with a cap lamp, safety glasses, and a W-65 self-rescuer. Running a few minutes behind, Constance led us down a hall and was telling us to hurry so we could “brass in.” Anyone who goes down below must brass in when they enter and “brass out” when they return to the surface. This is a remnant from the mining days that allows staff to keep
track of who is underground and who has returned.
we were riding back up at 11:45 a.m. “What if you’re late or miss it?” we asked.
We would be lying if we didn’t say we were nervous at this point. Signing our names and placing our brass tags in our pockets, we headed to the Yates Shaft, which is a cage from mining days that takes workers down underground in a 12 minute ride. There are only a handful of Yates Shaft rides a day, and being that we were doing a halfday tour, it went down at 7:30 a.m. sharp and
“You don’t want to miss it,” said Walter. "The cage waits for no one." Since there are limited rides down, around 20 of us squeezed into the cage straight out of the late 1930s. Water dripped down on our heads as we stood shoulder to shoulder. As it’s a cage, we could see the rocky ground as we passed different levels. And waited. And waited to arrive.
The “gateway to the 4850 level” is operated by the hoist room on the surface, which is also originally from Homestake mining days. Walter says many current hoist room operators were former Homestake employees. “When this reopened as a science facility, the number of people who wanted to come back and work here [from Homestake] was incredible. It was a way to come home,” she said. "And really, we couldn't do it without their expertise and knowledge."

SAFETY FIRST The cage opened, and everyone herded out 4,850 feet below ground. What we saw was incredible. Several steps in, you could see tunnels and the “man car” (or what Walter calls the “people car” nowadays). We were also joined by June Apaza, who leads the K-12 education programs. Walter and Apaza led us to the entrance of the Davis Campus, which has the experiments LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) (searching for dark matter), and the Majorana Demonstrator Project (looking to see if neutrinos are their own antiparticles). They explained that we had to enter the "cart wash" to change out of our now “dirty” PPE. This is to protect the experiments from any dirt we could carry in with us. 4850 Davis Campus Custodian Robyn Varland was there to greet us, and gave us instructions on removing hard hats and self-rescuers to put outside the cart wash. Inside the enclosed room, we took off coveralls, got a clean hard hat, and put on shoe covers.
Varland cleaned our cell phones and cameras to minimize any dirt they carried. Then, everyone received a charming sticker with an animated sun that said, “Always sunny on the 4850.” “At first, [the job] was a little overwhelming. It’s the first job in my life that has taught me safety outside of what I do,” said Varland. “It's very big on safety, and I think I needed it. And I look at everything different because of that.” When we asked what it’s like being in charge of ensuring things are clean and meeting people every day underground, she said, “It’s amazing, because I get to work with people from all over the world. I’m a janitor and I’m treated very well. Seriously, it’s been probably the biggest thing in my life, because I don’t like to travel, so I get to work at a really cool place in my hometown, I live a mile away, I have a wonderful job. I’m very blessed.” The door on the other side was opened, and we were released into the Majorana experiment section, where three employees were sitting at a long desk next to the “clean room.”
DAV IS EX PERIM ENT In 1969, a chemist by the name of Ray Davis began an experiment to detect neutrinos coming from the sun. For nearly three decades, Davis counted solar neutrinos on the 4850 level of the former Homestake Mine. But there was a problem. Davis consistently counted only one-third the number of neutrinos predicted by theorists, creating what came to be called the "solar neutrino problem." Initially, the scientific community thought the experiment must be wrong, but Davis insisted he was right. He was vindicated when two underground experiments in Canada and Japan showed that neutrinos oscillate, or change among three types, as they travel through space at nearly the speed of light. In 2002, Davis earned a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and things like the Davis Campus and “Ray’s Café” are named after him at Sanford Lab.

W H AT I S DA R K MAT T E R ? Scientists don't know much about dark matter yet, which is a remarkable thing because it makes up 80-85 percent of all the matter in the entire universe. They’ve never been able to directly detect dark matter in any form, but they know it exists indirectly through its effects on the universe.
DAVIS CAMPUS The clean room houses the Majorana Demonstrator, an experiment so sensitive that even a speck of dust could render it unusable. Scientists enter the clean room through an ante-chamber surrounded by heavy plastic, where they "garb up" to avoid contamination. We met Cabot-Ann Christofferson, the chemist with the project, who also teaches at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology in the chemistry department. One of the first questions we asked was, "What is like having to go through so many steps for work, like the clean room?" “It depends on how good you are at it or how sleepy you are, too,” she laughed. Christofferson continued, “I compare it to a home project. If you’re plumbing, for example, how many times do you end up going to a store? Three times? Well, it takes three times as long to do anything, because you can’t just go out and grab a part, you have to plan and coordinate what’s coming down, if it can go into the experiment, if it’s clean enough to go into the experiment in terms of how it was manufactured, and how it can be cleaned.” Anything staff brings down has to be bagged, and they don’t allow certain products because they shed potential radioactivity (human themselves are radioactive). Both LZ and Majorana require the absolute minimum of "background interference," and the 4850 level is the best “quiet” they could hope for, meaning the least interference from the outside. “To do this type of study, there’s too much noise on the surface, so you have to come a mile underground to isolate yourself from the cosmic radiation, or ‘noise,’ and then you also have noise from the rock environment, material, yourselves - we all make noise,” said Christofferson. “You’re isolating that experiment for all that could overshadow what we’re looking at.” That’s not to say they’re 100 percent safe down below, as they both created additional “shields” around the experiments. Majorana built a six-layered shield that includes copper and lead, while LZ uses 72,000 gallons of ultrapure water. “For as much of the equipment as you see down here, this is the extremes,” said Christofferson. “We’re one of several neutrinoless beta-decay experiments in the world, but we did go to the extremes to keep our experiment clean, and it paid off. We have the lowest backgrounds in the world for this type of detection.”
“AN INTERESTING DAY? YOU GET TO GET DRESSED UP TO COME UNDERGROUND, AND WE GET TO DRESS UP TO GO INTO A LAB, SO A LOT OF CHANGING OF CLOTHES AND COORDINATION.” - CHRISTOFFERSON
The team started experiment construction in 2011, and they completed construction and began collecting data April of 2016.

“We’re different from the dark matter experiment, where everything was built on the surface, then brought underground, and then put it together and they turned on the switch,” said Christofferson. “We had to bring everything underground, grow our own copper, and build the experiment.”
often have to be engineers. The Majorana experiment is a classic example of scientists building their own experiments.”
Walter chimed in about the skill level that comes with this type of job.
Neutrinos are difficult to really explain, as we can't feel them or see them, but they are all around us. Unraveling the mysteries of neutrinos with this experiment could tell the world why matter triumphed over antimatter, and why the universe exists.
“They have to find the cleanest materials possible, and then they have to get that material,” said Walter. “And the scientists have to not just be physicists, but they
“Working here is very busy, very exciting,” said Christofferson. “We’re doing something brand new. This is basic science, but at the cutting edge, so a lot of new inventions
W HAT IS A N E UT RINO? Neutrinos are among the most abundant and least understood of all particles that make up the universe. Because they have no charge, they interact only through the weak subatomic force and gravity. They pass right through matter- not even millions of miles of lead can stop them. These near-massless particles were born soon after the birth of the universe and are constantly produced in nuclear power plants, particle accelerators, general atmospheric phenomena, and during the births, collisions, and deaths of stars.

K-12 STEM EDUCATION Based on South Dakota's science standards, their education specialists work to create and advance innovative educational programming at the local, state, and national levels. Sanford Lab’s commitment to education goes back to its earliest years when the state of South Dakota and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford teamed up to develop their vision for an education program that would inspire K-12 students across the state. Since 2008, thousands of students have been reached.

and new uses come out of this. Plus you’re training the next generation of scientists and bringing national lab scientists here to South Dakota.” The team has already started planning the next generation experiment with a neutrinoless beta-decay experiment located in Europe. The two will come together to build a much bigger experiment that could dramatically improve the chance of finding this decay. “The bigger [the experiments] are, the more detection you have,” said Christofferson. “So we’re slated here until 2020-2021, then we'll transition into the bigger experiment.” 605 bid them adieu and walked down towards LZ, where we came across Markus Horn, Sanford Lab research scientist and a scientist with the LZ dark matter experiment, at Ray’s Café (a table with coffee goods, named after Nobel Prize winner Ray Davis). We asked what they have been up to on that side of the hallway. “The idea is we’re trying to find dark matter in space by building a very sensitive detector where we hopefully can record a dark matter particle,” he said. Horn continued, “I’ve been doing this for a very long time. I did my PhD in the French Italian Alps underground, where you drive in instead of going down. Then I worked on an experiment in a mine in north England. And then I moved to LUX, the first generation dark matter experiment at Sanford Lab, and came here.” In July 2012, the LUX dark matter detector moved into the Davis Campus, and in 2013 researchers announced they had the most sensitive dark matter detector in the world. Researchers at Sanford Lab believe the leading candidate for a dark matter particle is a WIMP, or Weakly Interacting Massive Particle. If WIMPs exist, billions of them pass through your body, the earth, and everything on it every second. But because WIMPs interact so weakly with ordinary matter, their ghostly journey goes entirely unnoticed. No dark matter has been found yet, but they are not stopping and aren’t disappointed. That’s because they’re moving on with the next generation dark matter detector, LUX-Zeplin (LZ), which is expected to be 100 times more sensitive.
“[DARK MATTER] IS A PARTICLE THAT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, IT’S LIKE A HALO OVER THE GALAXY. IT’S REALLY HEAVY, BUT IT ISN’T REALLY INTERACT, SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE CALLING IT A WEAKLY INTERACTING MASSIVE PARTICLE [WIMP].” -HORN
For this huge change, the team is currently outfitting the room by doing things like making doors wider for equipment, taking out walls, and creating a room specifically for storing xenon.
THE NUMBER S
“With over 200 bottles [of xenon] now, you need a whole room for it,” said Horn. They also must be very careful with exposure. “When we’re assembling the detector, we’re very keen on trying to limit exposure of any surface to normal air because it not only has dust, but radon,” said Horn. The radon levels, while safe for humans, can create serious problems for sensitive experiments by creating additional noise. The LUX detector was installed in a 71,600-gallon tank of pure, deionized water, that further protects the experiment from extraneous "noise," such as naturally occurring radiation from the surrounding rock. The LZ experiment will fit in the same tank. Along with being busy underground, Horn is finally excited to make roots in the area since moving from London a few years ago. He said, “I just bought a house and got a dog and finally have a South Dakota license.”

“I like that it’s purpose-built, meaning we’re the prime customer, so it’s all about the science,” he said. “Other times [with my work history], it’s been something like a highway tunnel and getting a little corner so traffic can continue, or being in an active mine, meaning the mining business is driving everything that’s happening there and you’re allowed on-site as a ‘side gig,' so to speak.”

ROSS CAMPUS TAKING A RIDE Better than a ride at Disney World, we boarded the car, with lead infrastructure technician Derek Lucero as our driver. He not only helps take people to places like the Ross Campus, which we were heading to, but also helped rebuild the shaft, and is one of a few who help in case of an emergency. “I’ve been here going on eight years now… We were responsible for rebuilding the shaft,” he continued. "So far we’ve made it down to the 5,000-foot level.” Lucero is also a member of the Emergency Response Team, a highly skilled group of people who are trained to rescue people in emergency situations. Walter mentioned, “If we’re stuck down here, they’re the ones who have to get us out. Or if someone gets sick. We have to first contact the hoist operators who then will contact emergency personnel. We’re very fortunate to have this team.” When we asked him how he liked working underground, he mentioned he wasn’t used to anything else. He then added with a smile, “Working underground is different. The weather is consistent.”

Walter introduced us to CASPAR at the Ross Campus, the compact accelerator system for performing astrophysical research. She explained that scientists with this experiment are trying to understand how the nuclear burning inside of a collapsing star produces all of the elements that are heavier than iron, like carbon, nitrogen, iron, and calcium, all of which make up life on earth. We met our host, Frank Strieder, principal investigator for the experiment. CASPAR is one of two underground accelerators in the world, and Strieder has a history of almost 25 years working with them. “These nuclear reactions produce the energy that drive the sun,” said Strieder. “They create elements that surround the elements we’re made of.” He also mentioned the pure density of a star. “A very little piece of a star you could not carry in your hand,” he said. Strieder says they too are working underground to hide their experiment from the cosmic rays that continuously endanger their detectors. CASPAR’s goal is to mimic the nuclear reactions that happen in stars in hopes to help complete the picture of how the elements of the universe are built. Strieder has a history of mines, and his grandfather worked in a mine back in Germany. “I always tell people I’m from a mining region as well,” he said. “My area of Germany was coal mining. They closed when I was a kid, but I played in the yard as a child at a mine, so coming here was like coming back to my roots.” Strieder now lives in Rapid City and drives 45 minutes to and from work every day. “You’re here and you have to go down with the safety equipment on,” he said. “It’s always some effort to work underground. You don’t just go to your lab next door and do your experiment.” After looking up close at the accelerator and thanking Strieder for his time, we hopped back on the car and headed back in the dark tunnels to make it in time for the Yates Shaft.

EXIT We returned to the Davis Campus to await the 11:45 a.m. cage. Over 30 people squeezed in this round. “I think this might be the fullest we’ve ever had it,” said Walter. Twelve minutes later (and a lot more shoulder rubbing), we arrived at the surface and brassed out. Walter took us briefly to the hoist room, which contains the machines that move the cages up and down the shaft. The hoists are remnants of Homestake's early years and have been in place since 1939. Sadly, it was time to return our gear.
END Reflecting on what just happened, it seemed like a blur. “These things that they developed in order to do the science in many ways could change the world, and it’s already changing how we use technology,” said Walter.
++
PUBLIC SURFACE TOURS INCLUDE THE HOIST ROOM.
While so many of the experiments don’t have answers yet, and so many are hard to comprehend as to why researchers are working on them, Walter left off, “Why do we do basic research? Because we need to learn. But the things that come out of basic research are amazing and are changing our lives every single day.” While not everyone is able to go underground, patrons can visit the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center for tours, exhibits, and visitor information about the Sanford Lab, Homestake, and Lead.

O REDWATER KITCHEN The last time the 605 staff was in Spearfish, I wanted to kick myself.
“You’re just missing the opening of a new farm-to-table restaurant next week,” said several people.
Legit by days we missed REDwater Kitchen. Fast forward to when we were in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (see cover story) in Lead, and someone underground was chatting about the new farm-to-table eatery in Spearfish and how delicious it was.

“It’s called The Burger,” she laughed. Interesting choice. The Burger was made with local ground beef (from Sturgis), smoked ketchup, aged white cheddar, beer-braised onions, shredded lettuce, house pickle, tomato, and was completed with a kaiser bun. Our side was a salad with cucumbers and ripe cherry tomatoes. The thick balsamic dressing topped it off. I started with the side salad, especially when I saw how red the tomatoes were. Yum. I’m terrified of ketchup (I know… why am I reviewing food, you ask?), so I let Liz be the taster. After awkwardly staring at her as she chewed, I saw her eyes light up. No, not from my silent stares, it was from the burger. “Wow, this is really good,” she said. As I asked her to describe any adjectives or anything to let me know why, she said, “I don’t know how else to say it. It’s just a really, really good burger. It’s easy to eat, and isn’t too massive” Liz raved about the beer-braised onions, so I found a piece of meat and an onion that was untouched by the red devil, and tried it. They
6 4 \\\\\\\\\ A U G U S T
were dangerously (and I mean in a heartburn way, since I’m 33) good. “It’s so moist,” said Liz, as she then dropped her piece on the table. She quickly picked it up, and before placing it in her mouth said, “I don’t even care.” Next up was the Strawberry Palm Salad. This feast for the eyes had strawberries, red onions, hearts of palm, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula, and truffle honey vinaigrette. I went right for what I thought were water chestnuts, but they were the hearts of palm a.k.a. my new favorite thing. Liz hadn’t lifted her fork yet, and I whined, “Try it, try it, try it!” “Okay,” she said (we were on day three of essentially living in a car together). I’m not even a huge strawberry fan, but I would eat this salad again in a heartbeat with the vinaigrette, the spinach, and feta cheese, and my new bae, the hearts of palm. Sadly, we had to move on to the next, which was the Korean Fried Chicken. I was less sad after we dug into the dish, which is 48-hour marinated
organic chicken thigh, smoked togarashi battered, with scallions, gojuchang sauce, and cucumber slaw. If you named what food you would be by how much you consume it, I would be chicken. This was up my alley, and the crispy chicken had just the right spiciness. It was too much for Liz, who isn’t a huge fan of that type of seasoning anyway. Liz totally dug the cucumber salad, though, which was a nice palete cleanser in between zingy chicken bites. Once again, Liz had to remind me there was more to try as I kept pushing the dish away and then bringing it back for “one more.” Last, but not least, was a dinner entrée, the 8 oz. Bavette Steak. This consisted of bacon-braised greens, quail egg, bloody mary rings, and chimichurri. I feel I’ve shared this before, but I get odd joy out of cutting a runny egg over a dish. Liz wasn’t as impressed as I was, as I counted down before I sliced through it (again, I think she was over me at this point of the trip). We both agreed that the steak did need a steak knife and was a little

There are bartenders, and then there are mixologists.

side bar)? We got to sip on the "drink of the day," the REDwater Sangria, with Zolo Malbec, Laird Applejack Brandy, Cointreau, orange juice, and mixed fruit garnish. We also had the Cucumber Gimlet, which Liz is already a fan of as a cocktail in general. The drink is cucumber muddled in house-made simple syrup shaken with fresh squeezed lime juice and Tanqueray, served up and garnished with a fresh cucumber slice.
“Everything is a great portion size,” said Liz. It’s true. This definitely could be a place where you can share (but why would you?). And did I mention throughout the experience that we were trying drinks from their talented mixologist (see
“This lists near the top,” she said. Boom. Approved.
REDwater also has an extensive beer and wine list, as well as the cocktail menu. As we thought this beautiful experience had come to the end, our amazing server brought out Chocolate Bouchon with Leones’ Creamery Thai Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Leones’ Creamery. If you don’t know what this is, make it a priority. The chocolate bouchon melted as soon as we hit it with our fork. And that Thai Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream… is now in my diary.
There is a different drink feature every day, but Oleson recommends the Dead Man’s Hand, with a swirl of Lucid Absinthe, sugar, Courvoisier, lemon juice, and Champagne, served in a flute with a lemon twist. He explained, “Dead Man’s Hand is different, and is something you don’t find a lot of places. Most places don't even carry Absinthe.”
BOTTOM LINE: With Spearfish constantly growing, this is just another reason to enjoy the town full of outdoor adventure. I would go back for the dessert and cocktails alone. My favorite part was the fact that the meal with the most basic name, The Burger, was Liz’s favorite. She said, “It was just so full of flavor.”

NEW MEADERY INTRODUCES HONEY WINE TO SOUTH DAKOTA
BY ANDREA VAN ESSEN
D
THE FIRST TIME LOGAN BORDEWYK RECALLS BEING AWARE OF MEAD WAS BEFORE HE WAS OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE.
Don’t worry, nothing illegal going on here. Bordewyk was just paging through Beowulf, one of the longest-surviving pieces of Old English literature. “My dad had the book in the house, and all I saw was the cover with a guy in chain mail, and I was like ‘What is this?’” said Bordewyk. “It’s actually one of the oldest mentions of mead in history, so that was where I first heard of it.” As the years went by, his interest in the fermented honey wine deepened. A native of Sioux Falls, Bordewyk graduated from Lincoln High School, and then spent four years
6 8 \\\\\\\\\ A U G U S T
serving with the United States Marines. While on tour, he had several opportunities to travel throughout Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. “Mead doesn’t have a strong presence here, and I really want to get people talking about it,” said Bordewyk. “Most people have this perception that it’s kind of like a Viking drink, but it’s everywhere, from Ethiopia to the Middle East, and all around Europe.” Cue Panacea Meadery. Named for the Greek goddess and overall symbol of good health, Panacea plans to make its mark on a region that’s fairly unfamiliar with the ancient beverage - Bordewyk’s home in South Dakota. His decision to venture into the mead industry began gaining steam in 2015, and by 2016, Bordewyk had moved into a production facility in northern Sioux Falls. Here, he’s spent the last two years fine-tuning his process, from product development to licensing and branding. “We’re going to be the premier meadery in South Dakota,” he said.
As one of the very first enjoyed alcoholic beverages, mead has a long and rich history. Fermented with honey - the original sweetener before sugar cane - it comes in countless varietals, from sweet to dry, and everything in between. While its popularity declined over the years, after the invention of beer and increasing interest in grape wine, mead is actually on the rise now, according to Bordewyk. “People are craving a wider selection of craft beverages, and I like to think that Panacea’s a way of reintroducing mead into everyone’s life,” said Bordewyk. Panacea plans to produce meads with a lower alcohol content, so they can be enjoyed and appreciated without the intensity of a high alcohol volume. “It can be done in so many different ways,” explained Bordewyk. A braggot is a type of mead mixed with beer, typically a bitter or sour beer to balance it out. Pyment, on the other hand, is mead blended with grape juice.

people who do know about it - they go crazy for it,” he said. “It’s really a community.”
As such, Bordewyk considers education to be a key element of introducing mead to the South Dakota community.
While several area wineries offer mead among their other wines, South Dakota didn’t have its own meadery until now.
“You can cook with it, you can glaze with it,” he said. “The education part is the most important piece. No one wants to just dive in, they want to know what they’re getting into.” For the time being, Bordewyk says Panacea will be focused solely on distribution. He hopes to bring their mead to the shelves and taps of as many of the state's liquor stores, restaurants, and watering holes as possible. “It’s an untouched market in this area, but it’s definitely got a strong presence as far as the
It’s a bit ironic actually, considering South Dakota’s status as one of the top honeyproducing states in the country. “I want it to be South Dakota’s thing,” said Bordewyk. “People here are very passionate about this state, and we’ve got a lot to offer. Sometimes people don’t realize it at first, but we do.” And fall of 2018, we’ll have mead. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT PANACEAHONEYWINE.COM.

i
n the summer of 2016, Ashley Flynn says she was going through “serious mom guilt" about working full time and sending daughter Nina to daycare as a baby. Going through the transition and adjusting to a “new normal” as a family with husband Colby, an idea of writing a book of poems about their lives came to her after late nights of rocking and coming up with rhymes. An “anthem for working mothers everywhere,” Flynn hopes her recently-released children’s book My Favorite Job is You helps as a light-hearted look at late nights, early mornings, all while parenting and having a career. 605 chatted with the
7 0 \\\\\\\\\ A U G U S T
Sioux Falls author on the process, her inspiration, and what she likes to do with her family in their (very little) spare time. I KNEW I WANTED TO WRITE… for a long time, and was a journalism major in college, but never really wrote seriously after graduation. When my daughter, Nina Rose, was born, I felt these overwhelming emotions that I wanted to capture. Somehow (strangely), whether it was the hormones or lack of sleep, my writings ended up rhyming. I'd come up with these little rhymes while I rocked her to sleep each night. Sometimes the poems were just nonsense, and other times I'd pick a topic that was on my heart and turn it into a rhyme. I have a compilation
of poems from her entire first year in a little diary, all on different topics. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT POETRY IS… it’s really not as intimidating as it may seem! As cliché as it sounds, if you have an inspiration and idea that’s truly speaking to you, it will just come through you. You really can think too hard or put too much pressure on it, which just kills the process and the ‘creative juices.’ Also, don’t let the idea of poetry intimidate you… it is what it is! No matter how short, simple, or silly. Who cares? Especially if it rhymes. If it rhymes, it’s guaranteed to be cool. WHAT SOME PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT CHILDREN’S BOOK WRITING IS… they're simple, but can
be incredibly touching to the reader. My favorite children's book to read with my mother growing up was Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. When we would reach the last two pages, I remember just staring at my mom to see if she was going to start crying. She always did! I couldn't believe a book could make an adult cry. Children's books can have a profound impact on both adults and kids. That concept inspired me in my children's book, too. I could write something meaningful to both the mother and child. CHALLENGES I FACED WHILE PRODUCING THE BOOK WERE… so many roadblocks, twists, and turns. Mostly roadblocks. I started the process self-publishing, and that

was not working out the way I thought it would. Once I eliminated the expectation that I had to selfpublish and do everything myself, things went much smoother. But that’s not the case with everyone. Self-publishing is great. In this circumstance however, I had to delegate and seek guidance. ONE TRICK TO FIX WRITER’S BLOCK IS… don’t rush or force the process. Step away, even for 24-48 hours. While you’ve stepped away, try not to totally forget about where you’ve left off, but also try to think a little bit about different angles and perspectives. Sometimes when I’m up and about living life, something will just pop in my head and make me think, 'Duh! I need to somehow incorporate this.' So stepping away, but not fully detaching, if that makes sense. WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS BOOK IS… I hope My Favorite Job is You offers all mothers encouragement as they balance both motherhood and a career, or all of the demands of motherhood. Even the most basic, routine days can reveal an array of emotions, so it was important for me to turn those daily feelings into relatable words. My hope is that this book gives working mothers the encouraging words they not only want to say to their children, but also to themselves. Motherhood can be

isolating, but we're so not alone on this journey. A FAVORITE LINE FROM THE BOOK IS… My projects are important, And I love the work I do. I try my best to do well, But my first concern is you. I KNEW FOR THE ILLUSTRATIONS THAT I WANTED… them to appeal to both the mother and child. While the story is a children’s book, it’s also very much directed toward the mother. I had a very specific ‘look’ in mind for the illustrations, and the book’s illustrator, Stella Koh, knocked it out of the park. She was very patient with my sometimes overly-specific edits. ANOTHER PROJECT I’M WORKING ON CURRENTLY IS… nothing at this time. I'm due with our second child this month, so I’m waiting to see what kind of inspiration he brings! No pressure, buddy. WHEN I’M NOT WRITING, I’M… being a wife and mother. Working. Being pregnant and trying to stay cool (literally and figuratively).
WHEN MY BOOK FIRST WAS PUBLISHED… I first experienced the book with my husband and daughter at home. It was emotional and very special. Afterwards, I had a little get-together with some of my close friends and our mothers that was already pre-scheduled before I knew the date I’d receive the finalized book, so it was very exciting to bring the book to the party and show everyone. My mom and I cried. Lots of squealing and jumping. A GO-TO SPOT FOR ME IN SOUTH DAKOTA IS… stopping at Wall Drug for a donut when we’re on a road trip. Like every South Dakota native, I had countless Wall Drug memories (and photo ops) growing up! ONE THING WE LOVE TO DO AS A FAMILY IN THIS STATE IS… fish! We love taking the boat out to a close lake and trying to get our limit. We can normally get about four hours out of Nina, as long as the snacks are endless and the princess songs are loud and on repeat. She enjoys dancing on top of the cooler much more than reeling in the fish, but I think I might, too… Boy, has fishing changed for my husband...

It’s Still Me
Camps

BY TRACY KIRBY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY
There is a moment in every parent’s life when a terrifying realization hits them. That realization being: I am the parent of these kids. The buck stops here. I am the parent. I have written about and have experienced this terrifying realization many times before. I have joked with many about sometimes waking up to a difficult day and looking around my house and thinking, “Who exactly is in charge of all these children?” And then realizing, “Oh, (possible minor expletive)... It’s still ME.” Let me pause here and say, if you’ve been with me on this journey for a while now, you know that I consider parenting and my children as one of the greatest gifts on planet Earth. No other title but “Mommy” has given me greater joy and purpose in my lifetime. However, that being said, every once in a while, I simultaneously feel awestruck, terrified, underqualified, and incredulous in the face of the acute reality of my identity as the mother to my children. This awareness of the gravity of my position was exasperated recently with the birth of our third child. I suppose suddenly having more children than adults in a house would and should introduce not only unadulterated joy, but a little healthy terror into the hearts of any parents. But, the other day I looked at myself in the mirror as each of my three children needed me individually at the exact same time (conveyed by crying in stereo) and I confess, there was more than just a little terror in my heart. Thoughts like,
“Who do I comfort first?” “Is there enough of me?” “Can I do this?” and of course “Jokes over, seriously; who’s in charge here?” went racing through my mind. Then, in the midst of the almost comical chaos, I remembered something someone told me once about parenting. (Also, I can’t remember who told me this, so if it was you; I love you long time.) They said:
IF YOU WERE GIVEN THESE CHILDREN, YOU WILL ALSO BE GIVEN THE GRACE TO RAISE THEM. I wish I could tell you that I supermomed the situation after that and everyone quit crying simultaneously. I also wish I could tell you that every day has been breezy and that my 3-year-old son doesn’t think the new baby is his own personal rag doll playmate. But, the chaos only grew throughout that one day and just today my 3-year-old tried to put a muddy tuft of grass into the new baby’s bassinet as a “gift.” It’s pure chaos around here since our latest addition, albeit, the best kind. The kind of chaos that makes you want to scream while it’s happening and dial 9-1-1-N-A-N-N-Y. But at the end of the day, you stare lovingly and longingly at the pictures you took during the chaotic day reliving it all over again. And the kind of pandemonium that still prompts me to consistently confront the terrifying fear of being a parent with the awesome realization that yes, I AM the parent. I CAN do this. I am in charge. And most importantly, I’ve been given these children so I have also been given the grace to raise them.

ALL OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE IN ONE DAY BY MARISSA LUTE
THE BLACK HILLS AND BADLANDS REGION OF SOUTH DAKOTA IS RICH IN HISTORY, ESPECIALLY NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE. AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES HAVE LIVED ON THIS LAND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. By simply visiting this area, it is one of the best ways to learn and experience firsthand the diverse culture. Luckily, the Black Hills & Badlands Tourism Association has created the One-Day Native American Cultural Trip. The treasure trove of historical landmarks, cultural sites, and memorials are perfect for visitors of all ages to learn about the events that were influential to early U.S. history.

With so many opportunities, it can be overwhelming for visitors to sort through information and determine what they want to see. By following a suggested itinerary, guests can spend more time doing, and less time planning. “The Native American Scenic Byway, powwows, reservation tours, Crazy Horse Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, and cultural heritage sites like the Red Cloud Indian School and Heritage Center or Akta Lakota Museum & Cultural Center are great places to start,” said James Hagen, secretary of the South Dakota Department of Tourism. Here are just some of the recommended stops.
THE JOURNEY Start your day in Hill City. You will find a great introduction to true Indian art by many local Native American artists in the many galleries. Once you’ve finished admiring and shopping these beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces, make the short drive to Crazy Horse Memorial just down Highway 385 between Hill City and Custer. Aside from the incredible mountain carving itself, Crazy Horse Memorial offers a wonderful visitor center for you to begin your visit, including a theater with a short film highlighting the rich history. You’ll also find more educational opportunities inside the Indian Museum of North America, as well as an extensive gift shop.

BY THE CLOSE OF THE 19TH CENTURY, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT LESS THAN 1,000 BISON SURVIVED.
Once you’ve soaked in all of the history and beautiful views of the memorial, jump back in the car for a scenic drive along Highway 385 South. You’ll want to hang a left at Pringle, and follow the signs to continue on Highway 385 South all the way through Hot Springs and onto Highway 79/385 South to Oelrichs. From there, head east on Highway 18 all the way to the Red Cloud Heritage Center. Playing host to multiple Native American art exhibitions, a gift shop, and educational programming, the Red Cloud Heritage Center is located on the campus of the Red Cloud Indian School and serves as an economic engine for the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. After checking out the gift shop, hop in the car for a quick drive to Wounded Knee. Go east on Highway 18 until you cross Highway 27, and then go north for just a short distance. After just five miles up Highway 27, you’ll come across the Wounded Knee National Historic Site. On this hallowed ground, U.S. cavalrymen massacred nearly 300 Native men, women, and children. As a trading post, there are still foundations where buildings once stood, but the 843-acre site has been declared a National Historic Site. While there, please be respectful, but also fully take in the history and
pain that will forever scar this land. When you’re ready to head out, get back on Highway 27 and go north to Scenic, where you will take Highway 44 NW all the way into Rapid City. Once you arrive, grab a bite to eat, and then head over to the Journey Museum for the Sioux Indian Museum. Hosted here is a wide variety of works representing Sioux history, both traditional and contemporary. You can view Sioux artwork from different time periods, see how they lived and dressed, and stand amongst full-size tipis. Next, head north on I-90 until you get to Sturgis, take the Lazelle Street exit, and turn west onto ALT14. This beautiful drive through Boulder Canyon will take you directly into Deadwood. Make your way to Tatanka: Story of the Bison, where you will find a hands-on interpretive center, as well as 17 larger-than-life bronze sculptures of buffalo and Native Americans on horseback. After you’ve taken it all in, head back into Sturgis on ALT-14 where it turns into Highway 34, and head out of town. A few miles out, you will turn north on Highway 79 and head toward Bear Butte, where the trip ends.
Upon arriving, you are in for a real nature treat. Bear Butte is a South Dakota State Park and is known as Mato Paha or “Bear Mountain” in Lakota, and it is still used as a holy site to this day. For that reason, there are a few rules about Bear Butte that are listed at the base of the butte. A two-mile trail will lead you to the top where you will be treated to an amazing view of the surrounding area, and if you plan it, it could be right at sunset. After snapping all the photos you want and soaking in the view, head back down and drive to wherever you wish to end your night. “Visitors appreciate itinerary suggestions, but customize their days to fit their needs and interests. We don’t expect, however, that they will follow every aspect of it,” said Michelle Thomson, president and CEO of Black Hills and Badlands Tourism Association. Where will your journey take you?

JR: My mom and dad and I always play games on road trips. They leave me at a gas station for a few days and I eat snacks and time them until they get back! JW: Pick a vehicle that has a separate trunk compartment that's not an SUV. Put your friend in the trunk. When they get out at the first refill stop, their attitude will be a gracious one. JT: Maybe don't go on a road
trip with them? If it's a really fun trip, though, put on some solid head phones (if you're not driving) and zone them out until your stop. Everyone fends for themselves!
JR: Just make out with your best friend and then it's even. She won't get jealous because she is included now. Can I be included? JW: Or you can just do it again, because the second time will cancel out the first time. It's science. JT: It depends. Will it happen again? If there's a huge chance it won't, maybe keep that one in. Or be honest if you think she'll find out.
JR: When they exhale heavy, follow that in by inhaling super extra. That coworker will taste their own medicine, probably say something to you, and cause an altercation. But you're smart. You have already taped a camera by their desk to prove how exhausting they are. Put that up on YouTube. It will go viral. They will see it. And they will stop... or quit. JW: I would start doing something equally annoying and when they ask you to stop, say, "I'll trade you." JT: If it's really bothering you, maybe bring it up as nice as possible. If it's a tic, you can't really fault them for it. Sometimes that's just how work goes, unfortunately.
