@deni s edepao lo

For many reasons, I’m glad to bid farewell to 2015. It was the year of horrific mass shootings - both in the U.S. and abroad, it saw a rise is racial tensions and xenophobia in this country, and was largely dominated by a presidential race still nearly a year off. However, 2015 was an exciting one, too. Marriage equality became the law of the land, "pharma-bro" Martin Shkreli landed behind bars, and viral

SPEARFISH CELEBRATES FOREIGN FILM

BY JORDAN SMITH

THE MATTHEWS OPERA HOUSE IN SPEARFISH HAS SERVED MANY PURPOSES IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE FOREIGN FILM FESTIVAL BRINGS IT BACK TO ITS ROOTS AS ITS FIRST MOVIE THEATER.

2016 FOREIGN FILM LINEUP JANUARY 10

Originally opening in 1906, the building was renamed the Princess Theatre in 1920 and operated as a movie theater for about 10 years before a owner took the theater down the street.

Two decades ago, a group started getting together because they realized it was difficult to see foreign films in the area. They weren’t really shown in local theatres, according to Sian Young, executive director of the Matthews Opera House and Arts Center. Soon after, the Foreign Film Festival was born.

The Matthews has always participated in the festival in some way, and eight years ago, it began to show the films there. In the festival’s current incarnation, one movie is shown each Sunday for the four weeks in January, beginning at 2 p.m.

“Even though foreign films are much more available now, via the internet, it is still something different and fun to do,” said Young.

For the past few years, the movies have been thematically tied together, and Young says finding the themes is fun.

“It is an interesting process of thinking. We try to

show a variety of films from different countries and genres that tie together,” she explained.

“

Additionally, Spearfish is a Big Read community.

The Grace Balloch Memorial Library in Spearfish is partnered with The National Endowment for the Arts, and received a grant for the program.

It is about having the community read one book, and this year it is The Maltese Falcon - a detective story. So it was logical to tie the Foreign Film Festival to the Big Read. Movies shown in the festival this year include mystery and detective films from a broad timespan and a range of countries.

The Foreign Film Festival is a community event.

People often go to coffee before or after to discuss the films. The festival usually sees about 40-50 people attending each week. Young says that the event definitely has an audience of diehard foreign film fans.

“We have a really interesting group of films this year, a very diverse group, ranging from a French film noir to an action film from China,” said Young. “We bring together a diverse group of movies that people wouldn’t normally watch together.”

WE BRING TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF MOVIES THAT PEOPLE WOULDN’T NORMALLY WATCH TOGETHER.

While there are a lot of draws to the Foreign Film Festival, the unique atmosphere of the venue is something that stands out.

“The atmosphere is really awesome,” said Young. “It's a 1906 theatre, and attending is like stepping back in time. It’s a comfortable and exciting environment, and feels nostalgic to watch a film there.”

”

To attend the Foreign Film Festival, it is $8 per movie or $25 for a four-admission pass, which can be used by a group at the same time or for all four movies. Four-film passes must be purchased online at matthewsopera.com.

More information about the films can be found online. There will be beer and wine available, as well as soda and popcorn, for attendees.

What is it about a musical that strikes such a chord with people?

Eric Parrish: Musicals in general are heightened reality. I believe we all can find something in the story that we can relate to personally and then explore that idea within the comfort of aesthetic distance. They also bring together many different types of art playwriting, songwriting, acting, singing, dance, painting, and design - so in some ways musicals are a total synthesis of all of the arts.

What will set the SECT production apart from other versions of Rent?

EP: I'm very excited to be staging this production in a thrust arrangement-meaning that the audience will be on three sides of the playing space - similar to the Guthrie's Main-Stage arrangement. This allows more of the audience to be closer to the actors and the world of the musical. I have always felt theater-in-the-round and thrust stage arrangements allows for more naturalistic acting and also brings the audience closer to the community that is created on stage. Since one of the themes in Rent is community, it seemed like a natural fit. Also, Rent was born out of the avant-garde theater scene off-Broadway.

This arrangement is more closely aligned with that movement than a traditional proscenium stage.

What is your favorite element of this play?

EP: For me, my favorite part about Rent is the writing. The stories of these characters are so powerful and beautiful that I get caught up in them and forget sometimes that I'm watching actors. And the songs they are given to sing are some of the best out there. This show is known for its ability to use contemporary/rock/pop music to tell the story - as opposed to more traditional musical theater or classical music style - and I think it helps create a language in the theater that us Gen X-ers and Millennials can relate to more easily. Having been trained as an opera singer myself, the references to La Boheme (the Puccini opera on which the first act of Rent is based) are also something I enjoy. Sioux Falls has the opportunity to see both Rent and La Boheme (at SDSO this spring) within a few months of each other.

What do you hope audiences take away from this performance?

EP: I believe Rent is about life - a celebration of life. The idea that we all have been through some difficult times and that, in the end, it is about having a group of people that support you through good times and tough times. We all need others physically, emotionally and intellectually, and the community/family we surround ourselves with are others who can celebrate the highs and mourn the lows with us so that we don't have to do it alone.

Rent runs January 15-31. For ticket info, visit siouxfallstheatre.com or (605) 360-4800.

Hitchcock provides a ton of captivating thoughts on what makes things work in film. He explains how not showing or saying something can make a scene operate better and brilliantly defends the implausible tendencies of his own films, saying, “Logic is dull.” But perhaps the most fascinating insight of

HITCHCOCK/ TRUFFAUT REVIEW BY DUSTIN JANSICK

READ FULL REVIEW: WAY2IN.DE/1ZK

Back in 1966, French critic-turned-filmmaker François Truffaut published the book Cinema According to Hitchcock, which was comprised of conversations he had with Alfred Hitchcock about his career. In a new documentary about these famous conversations, Kent Jones establishes the context for the time period when this took place, citing how Hitchcock wasn’t considered a serious artist by the general public. Even up to the release of Psycho, Hitchcock was known more as a light entertainer than a true master of the craft. At times, Hitchcock even wondered if he was stuck doing the same types of films and not experimenting more; he spent most his time cemented in the studio system of Hollywood, using his name to sell films as well as superstar actors like Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and James Stewart.

Truffaut set out to fix the misconception of Hitchcock as entertainer first and artist second. He promised to expose Hitchcock’s cinematic greatness to the world through indepth analysis of his filmography, and the book was a major hit. Not only did it help shape people’s perception of Hitch-

the entire conversation was listening to Hitchcock describe the importance of manipulating time. He claims the most powerful feature cinema offers is the ability to control time. Fincher echoes this sentiment by describing directing as simply controlling moments that should occur really fast and making them slow, and making moments that should occur really slow and making them fast. It’s true when you think about it.

Compressing or expanding moments of time is indeed what makes cinema such a powerful medium for storytelling. The whole segment is a great example of the documentary supplementing a subject covered in the book.

It’s when Hitchcock/Truffaut devotes a large section on praising Vertigo that the film becomes a little off-balance.

Jones details how poorly Vertigo did when it was first released, then contrasts it with how much of an impact it has on today’s filmmakers. This ends up being more of a puff piece for the film and Hitchcock instead of allowing the Master of Suspense to explain things himself. Some of the best parts of the film are listening to Hitchcock defend his decisions and talk about what he thought didn’t work (it’s fascinating to hear Hitchcock suggest how he’d fix a scene in Truffaut’s The 400 Blows). But the film often glosses over these moments in favor of celebrating Hitchcock for reasons which are mostly known at this point. And while it’s completely understandable that Hitch would receive the majority of attention, fans of Truffaut may be let down by how little his work is covered.

Hitchcock/Truffaut isn’t nearly as essential as the book it’s based off, though it serves as a starting point for those who haven’t read the book and a modest companion piece for those who have.

MUSTANG Mustang is France’s entry into this year’s Academy Awards and for sheer surefootedness from its first-time director alone, it is sure to be the sort of film that gets attention. And rightly so.

In highlighting both the unfortunate extreme of female persecution and also the most extreme courage and perseverance in the face of such inequality, and by making its hero a very young and determined girl, Mustang manages to shed light on the wrongs of today while instilling hope in the tenacity of the future.

THE LETTERS Who knew there’s so much red tape involved if a nun decides to give up everything to work for the poor? If there’s one thing director William Riead’s new film, The Letters, a biopic on the life of Mother Teresa, does well, it’s showing the bureaucratic web the late Mother had to swim through in order to follow her call from God: To help the poorest of the poor, in a still very much caste-driven India. But the film doesn’t do a lot more to explain who Teresa is than her Wikipedia page, and for a film about a woman who loved the unloved, that seems like a real missed opportunity.

JAMES WHITE In one of the most riveting lead performances of 2015, Christopher Abbott plays the emotionally adrift James White. He’s a twentysomething in the midst of a terrible family double-tragedy: his father’s just passed and his mother, Gail (Cynthia Nixon), has terminal cancer. The former Girls actor powers through the movie with the force and velocity of a cannonball, bringing a different color and energy to each scene. Without a doubt, Abbott proves he’s a world-class talent, and Nixon’s equally stunning performance takes James White to another level. It's a chillingly up-close-and-personal observation of a young man with so much emotion that he exists perpetually at the precipice of physical and psychological implosion.

B R A DY M A L L O RY Walking into the historic Carpenter Building is about as close to stepping into the set of a period costume drama as one can get in downtown Sioux Falls.

This sense of occasion is not lost on Brady Mallory, who calls the building home.

“It looks like a grand hotel that

not static.

“Obviously this was built when going to a hotel was a very classy affair. My favorite part is the staircase. I think it has been very well preserved. I won’t lie - sometimes when I descend, I feel like a rock star.”

Mallory, who works a few blocks down Phillips Avenue as an anchor on KELO TV, moved into the building in the summer of 2015.

He says the historic vibe caught his attention.

“In 1912 it was a hotel owned by the Sheraton, then it was a war dormitory, then it was a dorm for Nettleton College, I’ve read. It’s been apartments for some time, though.”

The Carpenter has undergone a series of renovations in recent years, under its newest ownership. The bottom two floors are occupied by businesses like Mrs. Murphy's Irish Gifts and Home Porch. Eighteen apartments make up the top floors, including Mallory’s, which is nestled into the fourth.

The apartment is a one bedroom with an en suite jack and jill bathroom, which can also be accessed from the main hallway.

Immediately upon entering, a spacious kitchen with snowy white cabinets and stainless steel appliances is to our left. The storage is ample, and Mallory has the enviable problem of having more than he really needs. On one stretch of countertop is a cluster of framed photos. It is just our first glimpse of what he has made a very personal space.

“I don’t really know what my style is,” he explained. “I like a lot of different elements. I like industrial things. I

I spend so much time telling other people’s stories it was important for me to have things that tell my story.

And most everything has a story.”

Separating the kitchen from the living room is a counter with bar stools, which doubles as an entertaining feature and eating area. Above that is a framed print of Meredith Grey from ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, one of Mallory’s favorite shows.

The living room is established by a graphic print area rug topped with a steel-grey sectional, adorned by a collection of cozy throw pillows.

One, which could be called the accent pillow to the other solid and conservatively-printed cushions, bears the image of actress Jessica Lange.

A gallery wall above the couch is populated by objets d’art (like a silver deer head and framed song book belonging to a great aunt), a

top hat (which is a nod to Stevie Nicks), photographs by close friend Abby Bischoff (who helped to design the layout of the wall), and an incredibly detailed print commissioned from local artist Connor Burtis (gifted to Mallory by Bischoff).

“Abby has a hot tub and when I lived in my old place, we lived a block and a half from each other, so I’d always go over there and we’d have a drink,” he recalled, motioning to different elements of the illustration. “I’m a big Reba McEntire fan and she had a new album come out in April - it was her first new one in five years. So I went over and we listened to the album online - you can see we’re both holding our phones and my drink has a straw in it, because I always use straws, and here’s the Reba album.”

Mallory’s penchant for storytelling is evident, even in his home’s most (seemingly) mundane details. For example, his coffee table is comprised of stacks of old encyclopedias from his parents’ house, over which belts belonging to his late grandfather (whose name is still scrawled in the leather) straddle, creating a buffer for a rectangular glass top sourced from his grandmother’s dresser.

Near the large front windows overlooking Phillips Avenue, on the white tiled fireplace sits Mitch the Plant, who serves as a cross between a roommate, pet and mascot. Mallory shrugged in the plant’s direction, “He kind of does his own thing.”

In the short time Mallory has lived in the Carpenter, he has come to regard the historic space with a great deal of affection. He views it as just one indication that he’s on the right path, career-wise and as an adult.

“It feels like home and I feel blessed to live here.

When I come in and look around at my home and the pictures of my family and friends, I feel like I’m doing okay.”• MORE DETAILS ONLINE

A NEW YEAR TO SHARE STORIES

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

IS THIS THE YEAR THAT YOU FINALLY WRITE THAT NOVEL OR MEMOIR? EVERYONE HAS A STORY, AND STACEY BUEHNER AND KENDRA GOTTSLEBEN HAVE PUT THEIRS IN PRINT. BOTH LOCAL WOMEN HAVE SURVIVED CHALLENGES, BUT THEIR STORIES HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES FOR THE BETTER. THEY'VE EACH PUBLISHED THEIR OWN BOOKS AND HAVE SOME VALUABLE ADVICE TO GET THE REST OF US STARTED

“We all have something that we have to overcome. Some of us have to overcome health conditions, some of us have to overcome disabilities, and some of us have to overcome family situations or poverty. We all have something that we have to work through,” said Gottsleben, who works as a marketing communications specialist at the Sanford School of Medicine’s Center for Disabilities. Diagnosed with a rare medical condition called Mucopolysaccharidpsis (MPS) Type VI, Gottsleben knows what it means to overcome. As only a sophomore in high school, she participated in a clinical trial researching enzymes for her condition.

The trial included receiving weekly enzyme infusions – infusions that are helping Gottsleben live a healthy life.

“You don't have to have a disability or health condition to gain something from my books.

My goal through both books is realizing that life isn't easy, but that's what makes it interesting.”

“You don't have to have a disability or health condition to gain something from my books. My goal through both books is realizing that life isn't easy, but that's what makes it interesting.” Gottsleben self-published her first book, Live Laugh Lemonade: A Journey of Choosing to Beat the Odds, after a good friend recognized the story she had to tell and encouraged her.

She began to write, collaborating with friends and networks along the way. Wanting to meet the person who would help bring her book to life, Gottsleben chose to publish with Alphagraphics in Sioux Falls. She worked alongside a graphic designer to create the format, while her aunt provided the book's cover images. A little over two years after she began writing, Gottsleben picked up a published copy of her book.

She went on to self-publish a children's book, Kendra's Lemonade, simplifying her message for children to appreciate and understand.

Stacey Buehner chose to take a different route in publishing her story. Surviving a horrific car accident that took the life of her best friend, Buehner realized her tragedy had created a story worth sharing. “I wanted my book to be real, authentic and honest. I thought it could help heal someone going through something similar.”

With a busy career in public relations at the South Dakota Art Museum and amidst planning her wedding, Buehner set aside at least an hour a week to write, describing the time as a “therapeutic process.” Using Amazon's CreateSpace website, Buehner walked through the user-friendly steps to create her first book, Upon Impact: Two Women's Journeys through Friendship, Tragedy, and Love.

30 // JANUARY 2016

She explained, “I wanted it to be inexpensive, but it had my name on it – I wanted it to be done well.

CreateSpace was fabulous to work with, and really affordable.”

“I wanted it to be inexpensive, but it had my name on it – I wanted it to be done well.

CreateSpace was fabulous to work with, and really affordable.”

Upon Impact is a personal memoir, with the characters’ names changed, but the events parallel to Buehner's past. Her story is filled with grief and heartache, but ends finding both happiness and love. Buehner experienced healing not only in her writing, but in the reception of her book. “It's nerve-wracking to write something so incredibly personal, so it was a really wonderful feeling to have people tell me they were touched by it and it helped them. That was the best part of this for me.”

With the ease of publishing through CreateSpace, and the support of Sioux Falls' Alphagraphics, both Buehner and Gottsleben consider marketing to be one of the most challenging aspects of selfpublishing their books. They use social media outlets as marketing tools, as well as their selling platform, Amazon.com.

Gottsleben encourages anyone interested in self-publishing to find a mentor to guide them through the process. Buehner recommends giving yourself attainable goals, knowing when to take a break, and getting a second opinion, “It's good to get other people involved – make it a collaborative effort. Editors are there to help you; their opinion is important.”

By sharing their stories, these two women have not only found fulfillment and healing for themselves, they have inspired others to experience the same. Gottsleben describes the process as an outlet, “But it was also a way to help others...learning from my experiences, I hope they realize that it may not be the exact same situation, but they aren't alone. We all have something challenging to go through, and it will be okay.”

LEADING THE WAY FOR LGBT YOUTH.

“SHE’S OVERCOME DEPRESSION AND NEAR SUICIDE. SHE HAS LOST FRIENDS TO SUICIDE AND MURDER. AND YET, SHE’S ONE OF THE MOST PLEASANT, HARDWORKING AND FOCUSED PEOPLE I KNOW. I THANK THE HEAVENS THAT SHE’S STILL HERE AND OUR COMMUNITY IS BETTER FOR IT.” — FROM THE NOMINATION FOR REINA PARKER

Reina “Boots” Parker doesn’t blend in, and that’s just fine with her. It only makes her more visible to those she’s trying to save through her place on the board of The Center for Equality.

“I am my own human. I completely claim being weird because I’m an individual,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I think it’s important that everyone is the truest form of themselves. I prove that by example and that leaves me a very happy person.”

But that happiness has taken Parker a long time to attain.

Growing up in a Jehovah’s Witness household wasn’t easy, and led to a lot of self-loathing, confusion, and anger both at home and at school.

“I was outed at 13-years-old at Whittier Middle School in my 8th grade year,” she remembered. “The school went into immediate action and called my parents. My parents, being of the religious nature that they are, thought that I was sick and the school agreed, so they decided to put me in a single room off the library with escorts to the bathroom. But they never did anything about the bullying or the abuse I suffered from other kids, so within a few months, I became extremely suicidal. I ended up institutionalized in the Human Services Center two different times for a total of nine-and-a-half months. The first time I was 14, the second time I was 15. Every single year in between, I was in Sanford Behavioral - Sioux Valley Behavioral at the time - or Avera Behavioral until I was 23 or 24.”

It all came to a head, Parker says, when she attempted suicide. She shows the scar on her wrist and explains that, although she survived, she went into a dissociative state, during which she was raped and became pregnant. That was her turning point.

Since then, Parker has spent her time working on herself, focusing on being the best mother she can be, and working with LGBT youth through The Center for Equality. When she was a teen, The Center had a youth group that got together once a month, and she remembers it as the only time she felt she could be herself. It’s what she credits with

34 // JANUARY 2016

saving her from attempting suicide earlier - a problem that is shockingly pervasive amongst LGBT youth.

Some of the initiatives she’s working on include certification for educators throughout the state, creating safe spaces at local businesses, encouraging relationships between school resource officers and high risk kids, forming an LGBT youth support group at Bowden Youth Center, and starting a group called Rainbow Nation that holds events like Youth Pride and an annual Halloween party.

Parker says, basically, she wants all kids to have a place to go, and to know that this is their community, too.

“Especially if we want them to stay and go to school in South Dakota and then open their own businesses and purchase homes here. We need to let them know that they’re wanted to stay. And we do that by opening up not only our hearts to them, but our businesses to them,” she said, adding, “If I can save one life, I’m doing what I need to do.”

Luke Jessen isn’t your average 23-year-old. While many of his peers are just graduating college, moving back in with Mom and Dad, or trying to figure out whether they’re mature enough to own a cat, he is leading the marketing department at one of Sioux Falls largest property development companies.

Jessen, who grew up splitting his time between Canby, Minn. and South Dakota’s Lake Cochrane, graduated at 21 from Augustana College (now Augustana University) with an internship at Lawrence and Schiller under his belt, and quickly landed a project manager job at Lloyd Companies. He says after that, all the stars aligned, and after a year, he was offered the position of marketing director, which encompasses more than he could have anticipated.

“I lead a team that markets all of our divisions. Me specifically, I’m in charge of balancing the team out and making sure the workload is good, but also I lead the research side of things - judging where occupancies are at, if we’re going to go into a new market, doing research into what that market looks like, what rents are at. Kind of being an all-around problem solver in the office.

Marketing can fix a lot of different things, whether it be low occupancy or a construction issue. A lot of times it’s marketing and development, which are combined departments that come together to to take on those tasks.”

Jessen says he’d rather bite off more than he can chew than be bored, which has kept him at a dead run both personally and professionally. When he first took on the marketing director role, he worked long hours to make sure everything got done. Now, although he has a team around him that he can delegate some of the work to, his evenings and weekends are consumed with

LEADING THE WAY FOR FEMALE BUSINESS OWNERS.

}

Female entrepreneurs are more connected and more visible than ever before, and Sam Ellis has played a big role in making that happen in her community. In September 2014, she launched The OWN, an idea born out of what she saw as an absence for women in the Rapid City business climate.

“The OWN was really founded on those principles that there should be something for women where the rubber meets the road on a daily basis to get their businesses going, expand their businesses, and just really make life easier, because we all have enough to deal with,” she explained.

After a stint at a local architecture firm, Ellis was working as a freelance project manager. With encouragement from a mentor, she decided to launch The OWN to try and connect female business leaders like herself. And although she felt the idea was a great one, she began small with the attitude that if it didn’t catch on, no big deal. But it did.

In little over over a year, The OWN has grown to include more than 40 business owners and roughly 60 total businesses in its network. Part of the idea was to make the network accessible to anyone, no matter their industry, professional need, or financial situation. For as little as $15.90 per month, business owners can join in monthly networking events. The top end of a membership includes daily use of The OWN’s office space, called The Commons, for $120 a month. And in between, are memberships which allow for help with administrative work, graphic design, or whatever suits a business’s particular need. As a result, Ellis has helped to create a varied, thriving professional network - one for which she is reluctant to take credit.

“We have some really creative industries like photographers and designers. Then we have chiropractors and people who are in the research field and people who

are doing consulting and technology, so we really bring a diverse group together and naturally out of that, strategic partnerships start happening. I’d like to say we have a big role in that, but women just find ways to work together really naturally.”

Ellis looks forward to seeing The OWN grow even more in 2016, and says her goal is to help the businesswomen of Rapid City find the resources and encouragement they need - whether from herself or their peers.

“I didn’t really have an agenda starting this, except providing services for women,” she said. “There’s a quote from the Dalai Lama and he says, ‘The world will be saved by the western woman.’ That sounds really conceited, but women do really great things around here.”

LEADING THE WAY FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE.

}

Making life better for women and children has long been at the heart of Susan Kroger’s work. After earning a degree in counseling, she began a career in the nonprofit sector as a mental health therapist for women and mothers. After transitioning from direct service to the administrative side of nonprofit work, she recently took on the role of executive director for NARAL Pro Choice South Dakota, where her focus falls into the realm of policy advocacy.

“I think that there are a lot of needs for women and children in our community and I’d be remiss if i didn’t talk about reproductive health care,” she said. “It’s a huge issue in South Dakota. We know it’s a very contentious issue in South Dakota. My experience in just my first five months on the job is people are more level-headed about this issue than is may be reflected in the laws in South Dakota. There’s a lot of support particularly in this area for that issue. People want to make sure women have access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care.

That is something that is important in our state and we have to treat it as important.”

Kroger says that the term “reproductive health care” can be seen as a dirty one in an overwhelmingly conservative state, because to many, it simply means “abortion.”

Continued access to safe procedures, she believes is an important part of the conversation, but it goes much further.

“I think it’s also important to talk about the full spectrum of reproductive health care,” Kroger emphasized.

“There’s the issue of contraceptives being affordable, women being able to go to work and not be discriminated against when they’re pregnant, and paid parental leave,

which is a hot topic right now. So I think the issue is being condensed down to one word in South Dakota and that’s not really giving people a fair view of the issue as a whole.”

Kroger, a single mother pursuing a PhD, didn’t take on her current role expecting it to be easy. She says the most important thing she can do is get in front of as many people as possible, and be a voice for South Dakota’s women.

“My short term goal is prepping for the 2016 session this month. In my position, a lot of what I do is organizing and educating and advocating, making sure people are aware of the issue and making sure people who want to be involved can be involved.”

MI TIERRA MEXICAN RESTAURANT & BAKERY 3 3 7 S P H I L L I P S AV E // S I O U X FA L L S , S D 5 710 4 // FAC E B O O K : “ M I T I E R R A AU T H E N T I C M E X I C A N R E S TAU R A N T S & B A K E RY ”

“Anytime there is Mexican food around, you can bet I’ll be eating it.”—Eva Longoria

BY DENISE DEPAOLO

Mi Tierra had been open for a few weeks when we stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Situated in the former Touch of Europe location at 12th and Phillips in downtown Sioux Falls, we were excited to see what had been done with the iconic space.

Like Touch of Europe, the main dining room was in the basement.

We passed the main level bakery on the way down, which appeared to be well-stocked with pastries and other sweet confections. The large basement, partitioned by brick arches and decidedly “old world” architectural details mingled happily with its new south of the border makeover. Tables were topped with striped Mexican blankets, covered in a layer of thick plastic for protection. Mexican-themed art and twinkly lights hung from the walls and passageways. Soft Spanish language music drifted from the speakers. We were geared up for a great lunch experience.

Our server greeted us immediately at the bottom of the steps and showed us to a booth. She took our drink orders and told us she’d grab some chips and salsa. When they were delivered, I tried not to see the salsa as a (literal) red flag. The chips were crunchy and flavorful, although standard. The salsa, however, was confusing. There were absolutely no chunks or secondary colors of any kind in the salsa. It was more like a taco sauce; a flat, watery red with a very distinct chili powder flavor.

The three of us ordered a few items to share: Super Nachos, Burritos Mi Tierra, the Sizzling Fajitas with chicken, and an extra side of rice and beans. Per our request, our server, who told us it was her first day, brought out the nachos first.

According to the menu description, Super Nachos were chips topped with steak, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, shredded cheese, nacho cheese, and sour cream. The nachos we received had no steak. One of my friends said she tasted an onion, but I never saw nor tasted any. The nacho cheese was literally the nacho cheese you’d find at a ballpark, and the shredded cheese was not melted. What was there was not bad, it just wasn’t what was described and not what I’d expect for $12 at a Mexican restaurant.

42 // JANUARY 2016

A short time later, our server dropped off our fajitas, burrito, and a la carte beans and rice. I hate even mentioning this, because I know that serving isn’t the easiest job, but as she set our burrito down, her elbow went into the food. Like, there was a blob of sour cream and lettuce on her sleeve. Then she set it down anyways (with a "sorry") and left. We decided to eat around that part.

WE WERE GEARED UP FOR A GREAT LUNCH EXPERIENCE. The Burritos Mi Tierra came with two meats of our choice inside. We chose shredded beef and chicken. The full description says the burrito also comes with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, savory “Mi Tierra” sauce, and a side of beans and rice. There was no sauce and no beans and rice with the burrito. In the few minutes the burrito sat before we dug in, the tortilla had taken on an almost gluey texture. The beef inside was well-seasoned, but the chicken lacked any real flavor.

Finally, we got to the fajitas, which were sizzling when they arrived.

According to the menu, the fajitas should be comprised of chicken, bell peppers and onions, served with sour cream, guacamole, tomatoes, refried beans, and rice. The last three items were not part of the fajitas.

The only beans and rice on our table were the extra sides one of my friends ordered, because she wanted her own. I tried a couple bites of hers and found the rice to be bland and the beans to be not much better. To be fair, the fajita components we did get were pretty good. The guacamole was above average, the chicken was well-seasoned, and the onions and peppers were cooked adequately.

When we received our $54 check, it was not itemized, and seemed a little high for what we had received. Later, when I took time to add it all up and look at the photos I’d taken of the menu, it became clear that either we’d been shorted items - namely the two sides of rice and beans that were supposed to come with the burrito and fajitas. I

FR ESH M ADE TACO LU NCH initially thought that maybe the sides on the table were actually the beans and rice meant to go with the meals, and they just didn’t bring the extra orders. If that had been the case, however, we would have been overcharged about $5. But it appears we just didn’t get all of our food.

11 A M – 2 PM MON DAY – SAT U R DAY $3.50 & U P

Bottom line: I love Mexican food and wanted to have a new place to go for lunch, but based on this experience, I have not. I truly hope it was just an “off day.” •

[AT M O S P H E R E ]

Real. Good. Food

They’ve done a good job to enhance the existing architecture with Mexican flair. [ S E RV I C E ] It was our server’s first day and she was friendly. However, she didn’t know the menu enough to help us while we were ordering, and didn’t know it well enough to realize that every item we ordered was incomplete. And, she put her elbow into our food and didn’t even offer to bring it back to the kitchen. I worked in food service for nine years and realize it’s not easy, but damn.

[ TA S T E ] Our missing steak and beans and rice aside, it felt like the food had been “dumbed down” for a South Dakota palate. I’ve never had such bland Mexican food.

“It just encompassed me,” said Dittberner. “I absolutely did not pick this topic; it picked me.”

The group traveled to the Netherlands and skated across the country, as much as 80 miles in a day, to raise funds for a local charity fighting against sex trafficking.

Dittberner said selling sex is legal in the Netherlands, but despite that, sex trafficking was still an issue, just like in the United States where it is illegal.

Now, they’re working with the Alliance Anti Trafic charity in Thailand to raise awareness and funds to combat sex trafficking.

Four skaters from Northwest Iowa and Southeast S.D., including Dittberner, and one driver, will travel to Thailand early this month and spend about two weeks overseas. They will start in Chiang Mai and continue on to other cities across Thailand.

NAME: ASHLEY BALLOU-BONNEMA // AGE: 28 // HOMETOWN: LARCHWOOD, IA // SPECIALTY: MUSICIAN AND WRITER How did you decide to start Breathe Bravely?

Ashley Ballou-Bonnema: On April 1, 2014 Breathe Bravely was born. All in great hopes of exposing, not what makes me different, but what connects us all – the very breath that lives within every one of our unique voices and is filled with endless beauty. [It started as a] blog shedding light on my life with Cystic Fibrosis.

With the selfless generosity, support, and help of many incredible people, the nonprofit Breathe Bravely was created. A nonprofit unique to itself that focuses on giving a voice to CF. By launching it as a nonprofit organization, Breathe Bravely can play a more direct and impactful role in raising funds that support life-saving drug development while building dialogue and awareness among our community. More specific though, and unique to our nonprofit is the development of programs that support CF research through the art of singing - lending itself to both physical and psychological benefits for those afflicted with CF just as I’ve experienced.

For those who aren’t educated on CF, can you tell us a little about it?

ABB: CF is a progressive genetic disease that affects primarily the respiratory and digestive system. The body produces a thick mucus that clogs the lungs leading to life threatening infections, scarring, and deteriorating lung function. CF also causes pancreatic insufficiency, not allowing vital nutrients to be absorbed into the body. Current life expectancy is approximately 38 years.

What do you blog about?

ASHLEY BALLOU-BONNEMA

AFTER A YEAR THAT COULD BE CALLED BUSY BY ANYONE’S STANDARDS - GRADUATING WITH A MASTERS DEGREE IN VOICE PERFORMANCE, TEACHING MUSIC, MAINTAINING HER BLOG "BREATHE BRAVELY," ESTABLISHING A NONPROFIT TO BENEFIT THOSE LIVING WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS, AND PUBLISHING HER FIRST BOOK - SIOUX FALLS-BASED ASHLEY BALLOU-BONNEMA IS READY TO TAKE ON 2016.

48 // JANUARY 2016

ABB: I write about my life and how CF impacts my past, present, and future and the beauty that fills every breath I am given. I write about my own journey of life in hopes that people are able to reflect on their own journeys – seeing that we are connected by the joys, heartaches, trials, and beauty that fill our unique stories. The greatest thing in life we can give one another is the gift of empathy.

What have been the positives that have come out of living with CF? ABB: The greatest positive is the meaningful relationships that have come to fruition because of sharing such honesty. Being honest with myself and with those I love has helped us all face this life

together, never allowing any of us to take a breath for granted. Also, because of sharing my life with CF, I’ve been able to more meaningfully share my passion and voice as a musician developing something so unique and impactful through the nonprofit Breathe Bravely.

BEST BOURBON, BEER & BURGER!

Can you tell us about your music?

ABB: I am a classically trained vocalist and also play piano. I teach private voice and piano instruction. Singing has been such an integral part of who I am. I truly believe it has been lifesaving in so many respects. Singing has played a key role in combatting and navigating this life. Being a vocalist myself as a profession and avenue of intense study I know how much it has impacted CF. My respiratory system is directly impacted by CF and singing has brought an acute self-awareness of breathing, any changes within my respiratory system, and challenging/ working my lungs to their maximum potential.

Knowing how much I have gained both physically and mentally from the art and study of singing, I wondered what would happen if we began teaching this at a young age of someone with CF? How would this knowledge of how to really breathe and such self-awareness impact their journey? So, sINgSPIRE was born. We are excited that it is our first program as a nonprofit created by the team at Breathe Bravely. It is a specialized 10 week singing program for children/adolescents with CF that focuses on individual voice study and the art singing.

Tell us about your new book.

ABB: Breathing Bravely: Giving Voice to Cystic Fibrosis is the passionate story of my journey through the seasons of CF. Within a single cycle of seasons, my journey and experience are witness to life's joys and heartaches while breathlessly rooted in gratitude. From the grip of winter's harsh wrath to the abundant life filled blossoms of the spring, I hope my perseverance, voice, and vulnerability resonate deeply within each of our own journeys. There are two different versions.

One is a full color coffee table journal edition and one is a 6x9 black and white read-through.

Books can be purchased through our website or on Amazon.

GET TING THEM READY FOR THE FUTURE, TODAY

BY TRACY KIRBY. IMAGE BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY.

50 // JANUARY 2016

Hello, 2016.

Even just writing that number “2016” feels like I’m writing about the distant, crazy future. You know, the real future: Cars flying overhead, people teleporting everywhere, a full head of hair dry in 10 seconds flat by the quick press of a button. That future. That’s what I think of when I write 2016. Yet, here we are in the “future” 2016 and I’m still drying my hair with a *sigh* archaic blowdryer, pumping gasoline into my land dwelling car, and the closest thing to teleporting is, what, a Segway?

Oh, Back to the Future (1, 2, and 3), how you ruined us! (And, delighted us.)

I say that all tongue-in-cheek, because as we all know, the future of our reality is indeed now and it is pretty amazing. Modern medicine is astounding, technology changes by the second, space exploration is having another major moment, global social connection is here, and finally, I mean FINALLY, someone created a real Dick Tracy watch.

The future, today, where we stand, is definitely looking up.

But, then, there’s the other side of the coin. All you have to do is watch the news just for two minutes and you will see that something about the future is also definitely looking down. Way down. Terrorism, sex trafficking, wars, rumors of wars, ISIS, nuclear spills, poverty, riots, millions of people without a home or a country…I need not go on. And then, add the children factor, and then there’s a trillion different other things that lurk in this future for parents to think about: School shootings, the vaccination debate, child trafficking, chemicals in food, chemicals in toys, puberty, bullying, depression, suicide, childhood diseases. Wow. Too many things to name, right? So much so that I kind of just want to sit in a corner and stare. And live in denial.

The future, which always seems to be portrayed as a shiny new version of today, seems to be a little scarier than perhaps we thought. Perhaps, today in this future, we have more to fear. And, definitely more to fear for our children.

OR, DO WE? DO WE REALLY HAVE MORE TO FEAR? I’ve been wondering about this a lot lately. As the world seemingly spins into more chaos with each passing day, are our kids worse off than we were?

Will they have it better with all the advances of this future - or worse - with all the problems of this future than other generations? How do we get them ready for whatever future awaits them?

Obviously, there are no easy answers here. One thing I have been learning, however, from those wiser than me is this: Every day has had its own trouble, and every day will have its own trouble. And fearing that trouble does not add one more minute to life. In fact, fear and anxiety actually take away life and time. And to prepare them? Well, we pray. We do our very best for our innocent children. We live out what we teach. We drive out fear with supernatural love. We wait, patiently, for someone to invent a flying car and an instantaneous hair dryer. We turn off the news when it feels overwhelming. And we try to raise kids that do the same - they fling the doors open to the future without fear and gladly say…

Each year, we ask you to tell us about someone who deserves to feel a little extra special. Our New Year’s makeover isn’t about fixing anyone, but about helping them to feel like the best version of themselves. This year, USD art student Courtney LaVallie’s nomination for her mom, Chris, stood out.

“She has recently enjoyed a healthier lifestyle, due to new diet and exercising habits which she does both solo or with my dad. She does a lot to keep our house warm and full of food as well as keep everyone cared for and healthy! I really want to give back to her, but being a college student I am limited on what I can do for her. So when I saw this I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give her the pampering she deserves after all these years of catering to her family.”

Chris is an Albert Lea, Minn. native who has called Sioux Falls home for 26 years. She works at Sanford as a nuclear medicine technologist, and has spent the past two decades raising three daughters with her husband, Jay. Recently, she has made a major commitment to her health. As Courtney mentioned in the nomination, Chris has lost (and kept off) 75 pounds.

BEFORE

When we called Chris to tell her she was nominated for the makeover, she says she was caught off-guard. “When you called, I was at work and the room I was in gets really bad cell reception. I heard you were from one of the local magazines and heard Courtney’s name. So I automatically assumed you were doing a story about Courtney and her art. When I called you back and said, 'You won a day of pampering,' I was like, 'What?...What? No Way!' That was kind of exciting.”

“WHEN I TOLD HER THAT I WON, I SAID, ‘IT’S A COOL GIFT, BUT THE GREATER THING IS KNOWING THAT YOU THINK AND FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT ME. THAT’S MORE SPECIAL THAN THIS.’” 52 // JANUARY 2016

At Southeastern Hair Design and Day Spa, cosmetologist Hannah Smith consulted with Chris. They decided to give her already-blonde locks some depth with highlights and lowlights, and then cut off a bit for an edgier, more modern look.

Hannah decided to go for a natural look with Chris’s makeup, using a neutral eye shadow palette and pink lips. The goal was to enhance Chris’s features, without masking them.

“SEVERAL PEOPLE AT WORK THE NEXT DAY TOLD ME HOW GOOD MY HAIR LOOKED AND THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT I HAD ANYTHING DONE.” 605MAGAZINE.COM // 53

“MY HUSBAND SAID I LOOKED BEAUTIFUL WHEN I GOT HOME. HE WAS VERY HAPPY FOR ME AND PROUD OF OUR DAUGHTER FOR NOMINATING ME.” 54 // JANUARY 2016

At Filly Flair Boutique, manager Joan Westphalen helped Chris find an outfit that was both fun and wearable. After much consideration, she finally decided on black leggings with an embellished t-shirt, and drapey cardigan for an effortlessly stylish look.

When we asked how she felt about Courtney nominating her, Chris got a little choked up, explaining that the effort and appreciation was the greatest gift of all. •

“I'M NOT SURE WHICH IS MY FAVORITE PART - MY NEW HAIR COLOR OR THE SHOPPING TRIP. I LOVE THEM BOTH! I LOVE HOW MY NEW OUTFIT LOOKS ON ME. WHEN I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR THAT NIGHT WITH THE OUTFIT I HAD PICKED AND MY NEW HAIR AND MAKEUP, I FELT SO BEAUTIFUL AND STYLISH!”

ASK T H E JO H N S

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

This year, I want to start volunteering. The problem is, there isn't a particular cause I really feel passionate about. I think animals are cool, hunger is bad, and old people have a lot to teach us. However, nothing really sticks out. Any ideas for someone who wants to better his community, but has no idea where to start?

At a holiday party, I had a little much to drink and told my friends I'd start a business with them this year. My sober self doesn't think this is a good idea, but my buddies keep talking about it and want to sit down to make a business plan. How do I gracefully extract myself from this situation?

JR: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. Like when I was little, I thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would just make me a pizza and bring it to me?’ I shared this idea with my mom, and she was like, ‘There is a way. It is called pizza delivery.’ At that moment, I committed my future to becoming a pizza deliveryman.

Sure, I get paid so it’s not technically volunteering, but sharing pizza is sharing love and I know I’m changing the world.

JW: Volunteer for the Humane Society or another shelter - and end up adopting an adorable rescue pet!

Then on top of doing some substantial good, you can now look down your nose at everyone when you say, 'He's a rescuuuuuuue.'

JT: If literally nothing lights your fire in concept, start with something that is a one-time only commitment.

Make appointments with a few local charities and go find out exactly what they do and how you could be of help.

Something is bound to pull at your heartstrings. If not, maybe you’re more cut out for donating money.

JR: Drunk or sober, a commitment is a commitment. While drinking, I have agreed to be a volunteer feral cat catcher, to go out on a date with my second cousin, and to donate all $125 of my savings to the Donald Trump campaign. In hindsight, none of these things seem like a good idea. But my word is my word.

JW: Well first off, the fact that they even are putting together a business plan is encouraging. Most 'besties' that decide to start a half-cooked business don't plan it well and just get too focused on how great they think they are. Financial details be damned.

But with that aside, still get out. You'll need to pull a page from the 2006 classic Beerfest and get drunk again to find your way out of this mess. Das boot!

JT: Before things go any further, you need to have an honest conversation with your friends. Period. You will feel like an asshole and your credibility will take a hit, but at least you won’t waste anyone’s time.

Every year, I make resolutions like losing weight and finding "the one." Inevitably, I end up putting too much pressure on myself during the first couple of months, and by March I'm back at Arby's and reverting to my typical antisocial behavior. Do you have any ideas for working toward these goals in a more sustainable way?

JR: Goals are for suckers. This year, resolve to be content with who you are.

Sure, I’ve been working at the pizza joint for the past 10 years and have yet to have a serious relationship, but why put yourself out there? As you’ve learned, you might fail.

JW: Simple. Just have some dedication, and stop being a flipflopper. Hit the gym and then when you get in shape, "the one" will find you. Or if "the one" doesn't find you, may I suggest the "Casual Encounters" section on Craigslist?

JT: The reason your goals aren’t attainable is that they aren’t realistic.

What if your “one” (assuming “ones” exist) is in China? You’re not going to meet that person in your basement with a Totino's in your lap. Start by signing up for a class or trying out a new hobby with a friend. Then, when you find something new you like, cast a wider net with it. Go to a convention or regional event. You’ll be surprised how many new people you meet with the same interest, and who knows?

Maybe one of them will be your elusive “one.”

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

one million Last year, over 1 million people crowded the shoreline at Australia’s Sydney Harbor to watch the fireworks show when the New Year began.

Australia is thought to be the first country to ring in the New Year, but it comes just after the Republic of Kiribati (a group of islands near the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean) and New Zealand.

46 B.C. Julius Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year in 46 B.C. According to history.com, Caesar hired an astronomer to help him with a new calendar. The astronomer calculated that a year was 365 ¼ days, so Caesar said every four years an extra day would be added at the end of February to presumably keep the calendar in line.

50% According to the Washington Post, about half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, and about 46 percent of those succeed for the first six months. People who make resolutions annually are 10 times more likely to stick with them than people who do not make annual resolutions. Some of the most popular are weight loss, getting a new job, and cutting back on smoking.

12 MONTHS TO A BETTER YOU

BY LIZA MCCANN

Sometimes the thought of a full time commitment is a little intimidating.

Instead of quickly jumping into a completely new routine with your New Year’s resolution, aim to make one healthy change every month and transform into a better you.

60 // JANUARY 2016

JANUARY:

CATCH MORE ZZZS

You know sleep is an important part of your life, but do you know how important it actually is? Sleep deprivation results in a variety of terrible side effects including anger, cravings, taking unnecessary risks, and high blood pressure - just to name a few. For a healthier you, aim to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night.

FEBRUARY: DRINK MORE H2O

Studies have shown that drinking more water can aid in weight loss. Water helps you stay full longer, which results in eating less throughout the day. Water also rids our bodies of toxins and impurities. Stay hydrated and healthy by drinking a minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses per day.

MARCH:

SET A GOAL EACH DAY

In the morning, decide what you would like to accomplish that day. Setting daily goals helps you organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your day.

APRIL: EAT BREAKFAST

Eating breakfast has longterm health benefits. It can reduce obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Breakfast provides our bodies with important nutrients after fasting all night. The body needs these essential nutrients and studies

show that if they are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be accounted for later in the day.

SEPTEMBER:

MAY:

PLAN AND PRIORITIZE

HAVE A WEEKLY EXERCISE ROUTINE

Starting small is better than not starting at all. If you can’t always make it to the gym, go for a walk. You need 30 minutes of walking five days a week. If 30 minutes is too much to start, try breaking your walks in half, two times a day.

Reading allows you to gain knowledge, which in turn, keeps you inspired. Make it a goal to pick up a new inspirational book each month.

JULY:

EXPRESS GRATITUDE

Think about 10 things you are grateful for each day. Gratitude encourages happiness.

AUGUST:

DON'T SKIP MEALS

Sugars are what keep our bodies running.

Skipping even just one meal will result in a drop in your body’s blood sugar levels. Without a stable supply of nutrients, your

Planning and prioritizing produces productivity.

Working from a plan not only helps you determine which tasks are the most important, but also creates a list so you can gauge your productivity throughout the day.

OCTOBER:

RELAX AND UNWIND

JUNE: READ MORE

intellectual and emotional functioning can also change causing irritability, mood swings and brain fog.

Set aside more personal time to relax, relieve stress and enjoy your favorite things.

NOVEMBER:

CLEAN YOUR WORKSPACE

A clean work area gives you energy and motivation and lets you focus on the work that needs to get done.

DECEMBER:

REFLECT DAILY

At the end of each day, go back and reflect on it.
