LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Alana Snyder PUBLISHER Alana Snyder DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING John Snyder ART DIRECTOR | COVER PHOTOGRAPHER Liz Painter EDITOR Emily Swan WRITERS Monica Albers Morgan Matzen Natalie Slieter I'm not going to lie... When Kellen Boice chatted with me at a Sioux Falls Chamber Mixer last winter and pitched 605 potentially doing a story on the unofficial Sioux Falls flag, I had to hold back rolling my eyes. I think I literally said, "Like... why, though?"

Tracy Kirby INTERNS Carly Reiser Tatiana Gonzalez

Luckily, Boice is one of the nicest humans and just told me to "think about it" and said, "No pressure."

CORRESPONDENCE

How could we write a piece on a flag that's not even technically our flag? Why should people care?

Sioux Falls, S.D. 57103

It wasn't long after that I started seeing the flag everywhere. Business owners proudly display the flag outside or inside of their buildings. T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and other accessories and apparel are being sold around town. Though it's not officially the city's flag, it seems a large portion of people are embracing it as their own.

contact@605magazine.com

There are also people who hate the flag. And I mean passionately, cheeks-getting-red, hate the flag. Then you have people who have no idea it exists.

605 Magazine is printed monthly by The

Thus, it's, in fact, a great reason to write an article. Not only that, but we knew that since one design is evoking so much emotion, it deserved the cover story.

Beresford, Brandon, Brookings, Madison, Pierre,

And the flag just represents one type of design in this issue. We interviewed an architect, a comic book artist, a brewery and coffee shop, a jewelry designer, and many more.

this magazine should not be copied in any way

Thank you to Boice for your patience. Because, while it might not be official, your meaning behind the Sioux Falls flag (community and unity), is very inspiring. And it may or may not be hanging up in my office now.

POET IN BLOOM BY TATIANA GONZALES

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

SEE SWANEY'S VISUALS ON INSTAGRAM @RHSWANEY

BLOOM We pluck the petals from the flowers that grow from our fingertips because we are scared to show this world our truest colors. But nothing is more beautiful

DRIVING DOWN I-29, YOU MIGHT HAVE PASSED ERWIN, S.D., MISSING THE TOWN OF 45 WITH A BLINK OF AN EYE. YET, AN ARTIST HAS "BLOSSOMED" FROM IT. THE POET, R. H. SWANEY, NOW RESIDING IN SIOUX FALLS, IS A NAME YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF. HE’S ACCUMULATED RECOGNITION THROUGH POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, LIKE INSTAGRAM, BY COMBINING STUNNING FLORALS AND PHOTOGRAPHY WITH HIS POETRY. “I love being inspired by people … I make a lot of references to nature, but I typically get inspired by a situation, or one person. I’ll make a metaphor talking about it,” admitted Swaney between sips of coffee. “I love urban areas, coffee shops … listening in on conversations; it’s so great.” In the beginning, Swaney’s creative outlet was in spoken word poetry and spoken word music. But, in two years passing, he realized it was time for a different kind of creative project. He decided to tackle the workings of a book.

1 6 \\\\\\\\\ S E P T E M B E R

“When I started thinking about a book, I said, ‘Okay, I can post on social media.' Instagram is a cool platform for people who like micro poetry - the kind of stuff that I do - so I made an Instagram account," he recalled. He started an account, at first hiding behind a moniker. Swaney later made the change to his real name when he saw what his work meant to people. “What I was writing was resonating with people," he said. "I decided that I wanted to be me, because that’s the best way to connect and help people. I want them to be able to reach out to a person and know who they are talking to.” The collection he’s assembled for his book, however, isn’t a simple collection of pretty sayings and aesthetically pleasing visuals. Much like the decision to give his real name out to the public, his intent for his poetry book is altruistic. “I cover three topics in the book: mental health, self-love, and loving others. That’s what my art has evolved into,” shared Swaney, revealing that his childhood revolved around the absence of his mother, who he says struggled with mental illness herself. He continued, “I know how mental health affects

than the bouquet you hold in your hand, so let your flowers bloom.

people. My goal is to help people that feel alone … I feel a real push in my heart to add positive growth to society … I want to better humanity as a whole.” He laughed, recalling the time he told himself he’d never be one to publish a book. Swaney wanted his art strictly through spoken word and music, but the bits of micro poetry that didn’t seem to fit anywhere turned out to fit all together, becoming his first book, Lovely Seeds. “The title, Lovely Seeds, is a reference to the poems being small, short, like seeds," he said. "Some people take these with them and let it grow into a newfound love for themselves, who they are, or maybe a little bit of insight to change their view of the people in this world.” Swaney plans to release Lovely Seeds on October 22.

Cheers to History "...ENJOY A COUPLE GLASSES OF WINE AND BEER AND GIVE A NEW SPIN TO HISTORY."

iouxland Heritage Museums created an event for fellow history enthusiasts to gather, have snacks, drink libations, and discuss a variety of topics dealing with the history of Sioux Falls. Director of the education department Kevin Gansz chatted with 605 about the upcoming 19001927 HHH September 28 at 6:30 p.m.

HOW DID THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM COME ABOUT? KEVIN GANSZ: It seems to be a fun idea that is happening in museums across the country. We’re aware of a few different museums in the region, like Denver, Minneapolis, and St. Paul, that have been doing similar programs like this as a fun way to bring in a different audience into the museum and hear an interesting topic. It's beyond just sitting in an audience for a lecture-based historical program that’s a more offbeat topic while you enjoy a couple glasses of wine and beer and give a new spin to history. WHAT TYPES OF THEMES HAVE YOU HAD FOR PROGRAMS? KG: We started off with Jason Currie-Olson from WoodGrain Brewing Company talking about the history of the brewing process, how they do their brewing, and then we did a beer tasting. So we kicked it off right way with the program being about having a drink and learning history, so why don’t we learn the history behind the drink? We’ve had Jeff Gould [from Miller Funeral Home] come talk last October about funeral and mourning practices. We’ve had some people come from the State Theatre to talk about where they’re at with the State, where they’ve been, and where they’re going, so we’ve really had an eclectic group of programs. WHERE IS THE EVENT HOSTED? KG: We’re hosting them at the Pettigrew Home & Museum. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the program starts at 6:30 p.m. You can come in and we’re prepared to give you a quick tour of the Pettigrew

House if you haven’t been or haven’t been in a while. There is a program room, and it’s a very intimate space. We have room for about 30 people. Light snacks are available, you can get a glass of wine or a beer, and you can look around the exhibits until the program begins.

IS BEER AND WINE AVAILABLE THERE, OR DO YOU NEED TO BRING IT? KG: We offer it there. Depending on what our theme is, we decide on if we’ll do beer or wine. For example, we have author Denise DePaolo coming up in November talking about her new book (South Dakota Wine: A Fruitful History) talking about the history of wine, so we’ll certainly have wine for that one. TELL US ABOUT THE UPCOMING HHH. KG: It’s with historian Stephen Cusulos. He is a researcher, whose family is originally from Sioux Falls (he lives up in the Cities), and he’s very interested in the 1920s time period... what was going on. It was a very vibrant time in Sioux Falls. One of the things he’s very interested in is the mix of cultures. But even in the middle of South Dakota, there were very worldly things available... and there’s the Roaring ‘20s, and Sioux Falls was very much seeing a part of that. DO PEOPLE EVER DRESS UP AT THE EVENTS? KG: I don’t really think we’ve had that yet, but maybe someone will with a ‘20s theme, and we’ll get some flappers! TICKETS ARE $10 AND ARE AVAILABLE AT THE OLD COURTHOUSE MUSEUM. PARTICIPANTS MUST BE 21 OR OLDER, AND TICKETS COME WITH TWO BEVERAGES. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT SIOUXLANDMUSEUMS.COM.

MEET THE Artist DYLAN JACOBSON

TYPE OF ARTIST: ILLUSTRATOR SIOUX FALLS COMIC ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR DYLAN JACOBSON WILL PROUDLY ADMIT HE’S A “NERD.” IT’S ALL COMING FULL CIRCLE, THOUGH, NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE “NERDING OUT” OVER HIS WORK, INCLUDING HIS MOST RECENT COMIC BOOK, CHAMPIONS. WITH JACOBSON’S BACKGROUND IN DIGITAL ARTS AND DESIGN AND HIS EXPERIENCE AS A WEB DESIGNER, HE HAS USED HIS TALENTS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH RESIDENCIES WITH THE SOUTH DAKOTA ARTS COUNCIL. 605 CAUGHT UP WITH THE STORYTELLER ABOUT THIS PROCESS, WHO HE’S OBSESSED WITH, AND HIS UPCOMING SEPTEMBER 15TH RELEASE OF THE ANTICIPATED CHAMPIONS ISSUE 2. YOU MIGHT KNOW MY WORK FROM… my comic series Champions, which can be found around Sioux Falls at various businesses. You may also recognize my work with the Washington Pavilion summer camps, which featured a mural hanging at the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. MY GO-TO ART TOOLS ARE... pencils, Bristol board, and 000 sable brushes with sumi ink. MY LOVE FOR ART BEGAN… somewhere in my early childhood. Doodling, sketching, and telling my own stories is something I’ve always done. I didn’t become cognizant of art, or art appreciation, until high school at Washington [High School], where I became more involved due to many of my teachers. A PROJECT I'M WORKING ON IS… the third installation in my series Champions, as well as a new webcomic, This is My Private Life. Champions is slated for six issues, all of which take place in Sioux Falls and feature four plainclothes superheroes defending their city, overcoming internal issues, and working together to do the right thing. Private Life is a non-sequitur journal comic with no projected end date. MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM… a

great number of sources. I like to say that I grew up in front of the TV and tucked into books. My youth really revolved around storytelling, and it’s something I’ve connected with recently. I often credit Joss Whedon and his writing staff for setting me on the writing path I’m on. As for art, I tend to lean toward Doug TenNapel (Earthworm Jim, Cardboard), Rebekah Isaacs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Karl Moline (Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics), Jake Parker (Rocket Raccoon), and Scottie Young (I Hate Fairyland). MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GRAB A BITE IS... at Oshima Sushi downtown. SOMETHING I'M CURRENTLY EXCITED FOR IS... to release Champions Issue 2. PEOPLE HAVE COMPARED MY ART TO… a combination of Disney and Doug TenNapel. I'M OBSESSED WITH THE COMIC BOOK CHARACTER... Buffy [the Vampire Slayer]. I own more Buffy comics than anything. But she started on TV. Can I still say Buffy? A TV SHOW YOU CAN FIND ME BINGE-WATCHING IS… You would guess Buffy, but I binge the Office when I’m working. It’s a phenomenal background show. I LOVE THE LOCAL ART COMMUNITY, BECAUSE… Sioux Falls has a tremendously supportive and collaborative art community. I wouldn’t have a career without the support I’ve garnered from places like JAM Art & Supplies, Exposure Gallery & Studios, or even Coffea [Roasterie]. They gave me a community to grow in and a structured basis to grow upon. I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO GO FULL TIME WITH ART WHEN… the demand for my next issue outweighed my ability to create it. It’s been kind of crazy, but in so many ways, it’s hard to describe. It’s better to do one thing well than two things poorly. And if the thing you do well is the thing you want to be doing, that’s when you should start doing it.

SOUTH DAKOTA IS… I’m a sucker for downtown. It’s the place that I feel I grow the most successfully in right now. However, I get to work with the South Dakota Arts Council and get to see so many wonderful places. It’s hard not to love them all. MY FAVORITE MATERIAL POSSESSION IS… an RIAA certified gold record that means oodles to me. It’s hard not to say it’s my favorite, since certain music inspires so much of my writing. But, I have these Buffy statues, about 16 inches tall, that really complete my nerdom. I love them more than anyone should. IF I WEREN'T DOING THIS, I WOULD BE... as risky as it sounds, there’s no plan B. If I weren’t doing this, I don’t think there’s anything else. This is all there is. I could write stories, I could teach, but these things are already a part of what I do. MY NEXT LAUNCH WILL TAKE PLACE (EVENT)... early September, which is what we’re anticipating for the launch for Champions Issue 2.

HANG OUT WITH

Brooke Wegener 1

WHEN YOU THINK OF SIOUX FALLS DESIGN, BROOKE WEGENER IS A FACE THAT DEFINITELY COMES TO MIND. WEGENER IS THE MARKETING DIRECTOR FOR KOCH HAZARD ARCHITECTS - A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FIRM OF 18 ARCHITECTS LOCATED ON PHILLIPS AVENUE - AND HAS HAD A HAND IN EVENTS AND GROUPS LIKE THE SIOUX FALLS DESIGN CENTER AND THE PLAIN GREEN CONFERENCE (NOT TO MENTION THE EAST BANK DEVELOPMENT, THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING, AND MUCH MORE). WE GOT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT A DAY IN THE LIFE OF WEGENER, INCLUDING HER RANDOM FEARS, WHAT SHE’S READING, AND WHAT BUILDINGS ARE CURRENTLY HER FAVORITES. I love spending time with my children. I am a parent to Lawson (age 4), Kavin (age 1) and step-parent to EJ (age 9), Gracyn (age 7). My husband and I enjoy hanging out with our kids downtown. Whether it is a First Friday event, the Farmers’ Market, dinner, hitting up the bike trails or the Hilton Garden Inn Sioux Falls Downtown [1] fountain, there is always something fun to do with our family downtown. 2

I craft. Along with my mom and sister, we call ourselves Kennedy Charm, named after the street my childhood home was on. We scrapbook, sew, make homemade spice kits, body scrubs, and lotion, and make home décor items out of old pieces of wood, bottles, and whatever other junk we find interesting. We do one to two craft shows per year and sell items at a store in Brookings. I have an appreciation for quality architecture. I have been with Koch Hazard Architects [2] for six years and have learned so much about the design process. My favorite project types are preservation/rehabilitation projects. A few of my favorite buildings downtown are the Sioux Falls Coliseum [3], Illinois Central Railroad Depot, and Raven Industries.

I am learning how to golf. Nothing is more motivating than having your 9-year-old out-drive you on the range. Our family plays a lot of golf at Elmwood and Prairie Green [4] courses.

I have become reacquainted with grownup books again (i.e. The non-Berenstain Bear kind). I was an English major in college, but found myself short on time once I entered the working world and started a family. I read a wide variety of books, and I'm currently reading Big Russ and Me by Timothy J. Russert. I enjoy a well-made, spicy Bloody Mary [5]. If I am home by myself, which is super rare, I will binge watch old Law and Order shows (SVU, Criminal Minds, whatever is on).

I have a healthy obsession with Vera Bradley products. I believe it is very important to volunteer in our community. Through my job, I am able to volunteer and do community outreach for some really great organizations. I am also a youth soccer coach for Dakota Alliance [6]. Go team CrackerJax!

FOR DÉCOR OR GIFTS O I-29 ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES MALL

FOR LUNCH O SQUEALER'S SMOKE SHACK

It's hard to miss the I-29 Antiques & Collectibles Mall. The 14,000-square-foot antique store with over 90 vendors is right off the Tea exit 73 west 1/4 mile. You'll see a dinosaur, metal signs, and other random assortments that will grab your eye. "We're probably the largest in the four-state area," said owner Randy Maas. There is something for the die-hard collector to the simply curious shopper alike. Maas has noticed many in their 20s and 30s coming in to shop for their home décor. "A lot of people will buy new kitchen, bedroom, or living room set from a store and then purchase accent or conversation antiques here," he said. His brother, Steve, was working the register, and says not everything is used or is necessarily an antique. "We have games, toys, furniture, and things like that," he said. Though they have a website, Steve says the best way to see what's new is by visiting their Facebook page. Open Monday-Sunday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. I29ANTIQUESSD.COM // (605) 368-5810

"It all started because a father and son were b.s.-ing and barbecuing," said general manager Roxie Stanga of Squealer's Smoke Shack. That was in 2014. The restaurant, which is located in a strip mall in the Sunshine Foods parking lot, recently celebrated their one year anniversary. Their 100 percent smoked meats and homemade sides are incredible, as are their house-made sauces. They include their BBQ sauces: Squealer (signature), Mild (sriracha), and Hog Wild (habanera and jalapeños). Try their Flying Pigs (smoked wings), The Trump (signature smoked beef brisket & pork topped with bacon and nacho cheese), or their Loaded Mac 'n' Cheese (homemade mac 'n' cheese topped with your choice of meat). There are daily drink specials 4-6 p.m. (50 cents off drinks), and you can buy a Squealer's plastic mug for $3 refills. There is a prime rib special on Saturdays. Try the Squeal of the Day, which is a special of the day. "Coming up with a special every day is something I strive for," said Stanga. Catering is also available.

In 1965 owners Lloyd and Rickie Ihnen discovered IHNEN Aging - for 14 days, 6 hours, and 37 minutes, loins are hung in 34-degree cooler. This is to intensify the flavor and soften the meat. Fast forward to 1986, and their son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Lisa, purchased it, and then purchased the historic Irish Bar connected, O'Toole's Bar, from Paul and Colleen O'Toole (photos of the original owenrs hang in the bar).

O'Tooles has the "coldest beer in town," and has daily happy hour 4-6 p.m. ($1 off everything), and late happy hour Saturday 10 p.m. - 2 a.m. Enjoy volleyball outside with a cabana.

And now it's about to outgrow it's current (large) location at 615 E Brian St. With over 350,000 likes on Facebook and a finalist for the 2017 Boutique Awards, Laurie Belle's keeps taking off. Manager Tammy Winter says the store attracts all ages. "We have girls who come in for senior pictures, we have teachers and women come in for family photos, and we have women come in for a casual top," she said. Known for their affordable pricing and "fashion-forward" styles, Winter says you can leave with at least three items easily. The store also helps style complete outfits and shows examples on their social media. With over 20 new items in the store daily, and a special every month, it's a must-stop. There is also free shipping online for orders over $50, and military and teachers receive discounts.

HOME + LIVING

AT HOME KATIE + GREG ROTH

hen Katie and Greg Roth found their multi-level home on the east side of Sioux Falls, it was perfect mainly because of one thing – it had two ways out to the yard. The couple, who have lived there for almost six years now, love the backyard so much, it helped inspire their lawn and garden art business, Rustic Prairie.

605 had the chance to tour their “rustic industrial” home, which they share with their two cats, Olive and Eden.

O MUSIC & TRAVEL Music is a big part of the couple’s lives. Their family room art consists of professionally framed posters from concerts and music festivals. They have around 60 currently framed, and have around 100 in the house and garage. “We switch the posters out to mix it up,” said Katie. The posters have a lot of memories and meaning, as they’re from shows and from local artists they found in the parking lots outside of concerts. Greg pointed to several Shangri La posters, which he is excited to attend September 7-8 at Harmony Park, Minnesota. “Greg goes every year. It’s the same weekend as the Sidewalk Arts Festival, so then I have to stay to work the booth,” said Katie. “I haven’t missed it in 12 years,” Greg smiled. The couple, who loves to travel, tries to coincide an annual trip with a show, if possible. “We went to the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary show in Chicago,” said Greg, as we worked our way upstairs to their photo hallway. Displayed are years of trips and experiences, like a hot air balloon ride in Sioux Falls, Maine, San Francisco, and – most recently – Moab, Utah. “We try to have photos up of all of the places we’ve been and things that we’ve done,” explained Katie.

“WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO KEEP TRACK ON THE MAP OF PLACES WE’VE BEEN, BUT WE HAVEN’T UPDATED IT IN A BIT.”

THEIR LIGHT FIXTURES FIT A CERTAIN AESTHETIC AND ARE FROM ALL OVER: TARGET, SIMPLY PERFECT, SIOUX EMPIRE LIGHTING, AND MORE.

HOME + LIVING

O THE YARD “It was a clean slate when we moved in. There was no garden and no shed,” described Greg of their yard. “We did most, if not all, of the landscaping,” said Katie. The couple took on big projects every summer to create their backyard utopia to what it is now, which includes a garden, a chicken coop that displays flowers, a shed, and – their favorite hangout – the gazebo. “And we’re still not done,” laughed Greg. During one of the phases in 2013, Katie mentioned wanting “unique metal art” to accent the yard. After Greg stated he could “probably just make it for her,” she put him to the task. “I borrowed a welder from work, and I pieced [metal flowers] together,” he recalled. “After that we did some numbers, and I bought my own welder. The business [Rustic Prairie] grew from there.” Greg creates mostly large, metal flowers that can be placed in the lawn or garden, but also creates pieces like letters that can light up for home décor. Their work can be found at stores like Sticks and Steel in Sioux Falls and The Vintage Market in Beresford, or at art festivals, like the upcoming Sidewalk Arts Festival on September 9 in downtown Sioux Falls. “We sell a lot through our Facebook page as well,” said Katie. Greg is a mechanic full time at Billion GMC, and has to work nights and weekends during busy season to create enough pieces for the festivals and holidays. “I stay very busy,” he laughed. While they don’t typically take on custom projects, Greg has created several for their yard, including a metal guitar, a chair, a steel Grateful Dead piece, and the metal logs for their gas bonfire. When asked where this talent and craft began, he shrugged his shoulders and simply said, “I’m not really sure.” “He says it’s because he worked on a farm as a kid, but I feel like it’s more than that,” said Katie with a smile. One of their favorite things to do out back is to host a weekly “boys’ night” every Thursday. “We like to have people over and have bonfires,” said Katie. “We have a keg tap in our garage, so they’ll sit out and have some beer.” They also use their garden, which has tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, to can pickles and salsa. “There are probably six guys from boys’ night that all have gardens, so we all bring it together and can salsa in the fall and have a salsa-making party.”

O CREATING PIECES INDOORS Greg has taken on quite a few projects inside of the four bedroom, three bathroom home as well. A highlight includes the cat tree made out of a barn door, which doubles as shelving in the family room. All of the décor on the shelves are cat themed. “[The cats] can crawl up behind it, and they actually use it, believe it or not,” said Greg. Other DIY projects include a back table in the family room, a coat rack, and even their wedding picture frame. These ambitious experiments came about years back when Greg said his brother was getting rid of an old farm near Aberdeen. After “going junkin’,” they took home piles of materials they could use.

THE ROTHS LOVE SUPPORTING OTHER ARTISTS, LIKE A TABLE FROM MIDWEST VINTAGE WERKS, A CUSTOM RUG FROM LARCHWOOD, IOWA, AND A ROBOT FROM THE BROOKINGS SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL.

One of his first projects was wall shelving in the dining room, which he used with barn wood and piping. “It’s just pipe that you thread, and now you can actually buy kits at Menards,” he said. “The tool that I used to do that I got from my grandpa, and they’re a pain to use to thread. Now they have electronic ones.” More “finds from the Roth farm” are hanging doors in the living room. “You see a lot of restaurants hang random items from the ceiling, and we have this tall ceiling,” said Greg, looking up. Katie added, “I thought he was crazy. It took me a while to get used to it, let alone agree to it. But it goes with everything now.” Considering he’s very busy as is, we asked Greg how he keeps up with these projects. “After the arts festivals, he’ll take a break and work on personal projects,” said Katie. “He’s going to make me a mirror and projects like that when winter comes.”

“WE HAVE PIECES FROM STORES, WHICH ARE NICE, BUT YOU CAN TELL THEY’RE FROM A FURNITURE STORE… I JUST LIKE BEING CREATIVE, TOO.”

O PERSONAL PIECES Sprinkled in with all of the décor are special heirlooms and childhood memories. When you enter the home and walk into the living room, the first thing on your left is a wooden piano. “This was my piano growing up. I actually teach piano lessons on Wednesday nights,” said Katie, who is also a corporate sales manager at SONIFI Solutions full time. The same room has a delicate violin displayed on the wall. “My grandpa was very musical,” explained Katie. “He had several violins, so when he passed away, I got one.” She also has her grandfather’s radio, which they said still works.

GREG FOUND AND REFURBISHED AN OLD 1920S FACTORY CART THEY USE AS A COFFEE TABLE IN THE LIVING ROOM

Displayed in the kitchen is a set of her grandmother’s china. “That’s one of those things where you don’t really use them, so we wanted them on display,” said Katie. “My grandma passed away when I was 5, so my mom held onto them and gave them to me as a wedding gift.” Last, but not least, is her mother’s acoustic guitar that is located in the family room amongst the music posters. It doesn’t just sit there, though, as Katie has taken up guitar lessons. “I don’t play at all,” laughed Greg. “I listen to music all of the time, and it’s ironic I don’t play a lick of anything.”

“WE CAN CREATE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL HERE.”

TEPHANIE WILDE’S PASSION FOR CREATING JEWELRY STARTED IN 2009. SHE IS NOW THE OWNER OF SAY ANYTHING… JEWELRY LOCATED ON PHILLIPS AVENUE. The events leading up to this self-taught passion were designed in a way Wilde never expected.

Wilde thought she would create gifts for family and friends and only sell a little bit on Etsy, but due to her local following and word of mouth, Wilde’s creations grew in popularity and demand. She was able to quit her server position after one year of making pieces. The following year, she was able to open her first location on North Main Avenue. The store moved to its current location in 2015, which Wilde says she was excited to move to because it offered more space and she felt it was a better location downtown.

Besides jewelry, Wilde also personalizes gifts such as keychains, bookmarks, and wallet inserts.

Wilde shares that she had a customer come in with a note from her father who had recently passed away. Right before he died, he wrote a note that read, “I love my family, Dad.” Wilde was able to imprint the words on various gifts for the customer and her ABOUT MY JOB.” six siblings, so they could have these words from their father.

Back in 2009, Wilde was a waitress at Foleys (now Morrie's Steakhouse) in Sioux Falls. After breaking her foot, she was laid up at home when she came across “THE CONNECTEDNESS OF IT IS WHAT I LOVE an ad on Facebook for hand-stamped jewelry.

The People's Flag HOW ONE DESIGN IS SPARKING CONVERSATION BY MONICA ALBERS

An eye-catching flag is popping up across Sioux Falls that has somehow managed to combine resident-input and international influence into a design that organizers say properly represents of one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. The unofficial flag of Sioux Falls is emblazoned with a pinkish red, symbolizing the area’s quartzite, blue and white stripes ascending across the image symbolizing the falls, and a yellow starburst that acts as a wink to South Dakota’s state flag. Organizers say the representation is perfect, in part, because of its origins. In early 2014, OTA, founded by Milbank native Hugh Weber to celebrate and encourage creative work in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, hosted Roman Mars, of the hit design podcast 99 Percent Invisible, at the Washington Pavilion. During a live podcast on vexillology (the study of flags), the hostcity was actually called out as one of only three major U.S. cities without an official flag. The design-centric audience caught the jab.

Boice wasn’t the only one inspired. The weekend after Mars’ visit, organizers received dozens of calls and messages showing support and wanting to get involved in the creation of a city flag. Weber says the excitement encouraged them to take up the task. “Sioux Falls kind of prides itself on having a lot of the same resources and tools and spirit of a larger city, so maybe this is something that can rally the community leadership as well,” he said. Creatives got to work. OTA teamed up with the Sioux Falls Design Center and American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), creating the mouthful-organization The Committee to Establish a Suitable Flying Banner for the City of Sioux Falls (CESFBCSF). They roped in vexillological expert Ted Kaye – who recently designed the Portland city flag, among other projects – and Roman Mars even stayed involved in the mission.

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

“In this huge audience, I’m sitting there thinking, ‘This is my first year on the job, how do I get involved?’” said Kellen Boice, who had just joined as director of the Sioux Falls Design Center.

FALLING BEHIND A suburb of South Dakota’s largest city recently fasttracked the adoption of an official flag. The City of Brandon approved a flag this past May, after holding a similar contest in which the submission titled “Our Spirit Shines” was ultimately selected. Around the country, vexillologists consider Sioux Falls, Fargo, N.D., and Hilo, H.I. to be the only major cities without official flags.

So of experts selected a flag created by it’s a pretty great balance.”

ARGUS LEADER NEWS DIRECTOR CORY MYERS' OFFICE.

Boice agrees. “I feel like he encompassed everything about our city without ever stepping foot here,” she said, which allowed it to resonate with the public. The simple, clean aesthetic also made it popular from a design angle. So why is this vexillologist-certified, publicly-approved banner still under “unofficial’’ status? Weber says as the contest was underway, organizers sent information on the process to the City Council and mayor’s office, and followed up with the results. Nothing happened.

Organizers returned multiple times to City Council meetings to introduce the flag, trying to get officials on board. They thought concerns about extra spending might be a roadblock, so Boice says they offered to cover the costs of flags for the City Council chambers and the mayor’s office. Still, no traction. At-Large Sioux Falls City Councilor Theresa Stehly wasn’t a member until the latest introduction of the flag, in June 2016, but says other issues, specifically challenges surrounding the new City Administration Building, were dominating the new council’s time.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER MAX RABKIN is an American citizen who grew up in South Africa. In his submission, he told the Flag Committee he’s not in any design-related field, but was left with “a strong impression of the importance of flags as a symbol of who we are” when he witnessed South Africa become a democracy and adopt their current flag.

“IT’S A ‘REAL THING’ BECAUSE THE PEOPLE PICKED IT UP VERSUS A BUNCH OF ORGANIZATIONS, WHERE YOU’RE GETTING PAID TO DO YOUR JOB TO PUSH SOMETHING. THIS IS NOT THAT. NOBODY’S GETTING PAID.”—KELLEN BOICE “I think it’s a great idea, but we need to work on a process to make it fair for all involved,” said Stehly. “I think we would all probably agree that this needs to have more public input, and a process needs to be put in place.” She added, “If the mayor isn’t supporting a proposal, it makes it very difficult to bring into fruition. I think the hope would be, for people wanting to implement a flag, that it would happen after the next mayor is elected.” Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether has declined to comment on the issue. “I can see where community leadership that’s focused on infrastructure and development can see something like a flag effort as insignificant, or even potentially a distraction,” said Weber. “But I think it’s one of those items that [for] a city that’s growing, that’s diversifying both its economy and its people…this was an easy win, and remains an easy win, for a city councilman or mayor that recognizes the city needs icons, and needs identifying, creative elements to draw it together.”

Kelsie Thomas, a Sioux Falls native and doula by trade, is one person drawn to the rallying power of the unofficial icon. She wasn’t originally involved in the 2014 project, but began searching for a symbol after the collapse of the downtown Copper Lounge building in December 2016. “When that building collapsed, all I wanted to do was wave something and be like, ‘We can get through this, we can do this, but it's going to take all of us,’” she said. “Having something like this can bring us all together.” She bought 25 flags from a site online and started giving them out, eventually bringing one along to the Women’s March in downtown Sioux Falls this past February. Boice, also in attendance, still remembers the sight of it flying. “After three years in a row of trying to push this and getting deaf ears every time, and then to see somebody that I had never met before flying this flag, I thought, 'Holy cow this is what it's about,” said Boice. “It was Kelsie that inspired me to keep pushing, not under

the Design Center umbrella, but just as a citizen of Sioux Falls, as a native, and saying, ‘This does matter.’" “Let’s take it out of the organizations and let the people have it.” Since then, they say, the flag has hit a second wave. Organizers say the flag is popping up in more places than they expected through grassroots efforts. Flags fly from businesses and homes across town. Businesses like Unglued and Scratchpad Tees offer flag pins, stickers, postcards, and apparel. Anyone who visits siouxfallsflag.com is able to download a graphic-standards image of the flag for free. This is possible, they say, because of a final gift from the flag’s designer – allowing the image to become public domain. “What it means is that [Rabkin] could have been printing flags and shirts and buttons and pins and whatever else, but

he opened that up so that the community could do whatever came naturally. And I think it’s made all the difference,” said Weber. In that spirit, Boice says their goal is to always break even – putting profits from flag-related products back into efforts to spread it around the city and hoping other residents join in. “Nobody owns it. If you want to make and sell things, no one’s going to ask you for royalties,” she said. “I think that’s the next thing – to get it out there, to let people know that, ‘This is yours, it’s a gift to you.’” Public acceptance, they say, is more important that an official seal – that, as "The People’s Flag," it’s more valuable to see it flying freely in the streets than from city buildings. “At some point, I think you hit a tipping point, that if there’s no formal City support, it really is relatively insignificant,” said Weber. “When you start seeing it on porches and windows and on laptops, at a certain point, you hit a threshold where it might not be the official flag of Sioux Falls, but it’s certainly the Sioux Falls flag.”

Thomas agreed. “We don’t need to strongarm change. We can just let it happen,” she said, “because what’s building out of this - bringing community pride, bringing strength and love to right here within our streets - that’s already happening." “The goal of the flag is already being achieved. It doesn’t need an official stamp.” As Sioux Falls grows into a larger Midwest hub, organizers say the concept of a centralizing symbol is more important than ever. More elements have the potential to divide a city now growing in diversity, but the flag is something all residents can gather under. “We come from different places, we worship differently, we speak different languages, but a flag that has been uniformly accepted by a community can become something that’s all of ours,” said Weber. “And I think that’s the beauty of community - to find those things that bring us together.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT SIOUXFALLSFLAG.COM. •

Becoming more and more intrigued, our art director and I headed to the small town to see what it's all about for ourselves. We met Thornton and were taken to the large back room past the coffee shop and bakery to the restaurant. Classic jazz filled the air, which worked well with the eclectic ambience that included a piano and tall stage intended for live music, comedy, and other entertainment. The layout has an open kitchen that literally is among the patrons' tables. You get to see all of the action, and a couple of times we turned around and asked Thornton questions as he was cooking (which was neat for us, but I’m sure annoying for him).

explains this is because he came from a low income home, and this is how they cooked “to feed the family”). Ready and hungry, we were served our first dish - the Naked BLT w/ Fruit Cup. The "different" flavored bacon was laid out on a bed of romaine lettuce, topped with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese. This could be eaten with silverware or as a lettuce wrap. Lettuce wraps stress me out (I'm weird, I know), so I chose silverware. The tomatoes were juicy and ripe, and the mozzarella was perfection mixed with that and the lettuce. Let's talk about that bacon, though. I don't know how he prepared it, or what "different" flavors means, but whatever makes it different makes it the best. Talk about the definition of crunchy bacon.

everything nice” on the menu, the crab cake was placed on a light, buttered, toasted bread, surrounded by mixed salad, and topped off with their famous yogurt sauce. Thornton describes the yogurt sauce as the “ranch of the South,” and says he refuses to carry ranch, so patrons give his sauce a try.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

crolling through social media, I noticed a story about a new restaurant in Garretson that specializes in soul food dubbed "O" So Good. Creeping further into the social media rabbit hole, I saw co-owner and executive chef Omar Thornton (the “O” in the business name) has the restaurant, along with a candy shop, coffee shop, and bakery on 3rd and Main Avenue.

And try it we did. The sauce was drizzled over the dish. Eating the crab cake alone was a delight, as it melted in our mouths. Add the sauce and salad, and the flavors all made the ideal combination. Let’s just say we normally eat a little bit and save room for the next item for food reviews, but this one happened to disappear.

BIG O BREAKFAST Scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, and bacon on the side.

As we both were overly impressed with the bacon, my partner in crime mentioned that she appreciated that the dish was so light. "When I think of BLT, I think heavy and full, which is sometimes too much," she said.

Thornton came over to check on us and explained that though this dish is listed as a sandwich, he only uses one piece of bread since people tend to remove the top piece from being overwhelmed. He also said he “sneaks” salad on the bottom of a lot of his options to get his customers to "eat more greens."

Next up was the Open Face Crab Cake. Advertised as “full of flavor and spice and

“I’m like your momma – I’m gonna make you eat ‘em,” he smiled.

Thornton, who is super friendly and still very excited from the recent June opening, is eager to have everyone try his food, which he clarified is "not necessarily soul food," as everyone has been saying. "It's more food with Southern flair," he said, explaining that he grew up in Louisiana. "So all of these are ethnic and other foods I grew up eating in the area, like Cajun pasta, seafood, and fried bread." Looking at his website post-tasting, it was interesting to see his inspiration behind the dishes. It states that “O” So Good’s beginnings came from "street style" foods and food trucks, only using whatever ingredients he absolutely needed (it also

O “O” SO GOOD KEY LIME PIE

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE

THE BAKERY He was 1,000 percent correct. Unless I’m absolutely craving it, I won’t choose salad. If you put a salad as a side, I probably won’t touch it, or I’ll nibble a few bites. Putting it underneath had me eating the whole thing. I was (successfully) bamboozled! Thinking of different dietary restrictions and lifestyles, the restaurant also has meatless options. We tried the Mushroom Melt, which was loaded mushrooms on a bed of mixed salad (he strikes again!) and five types of cheeses. It was garnished with their tomato-based mushroom sauce. It didn’t help that my co-worker hates mushrooms, but I love them. To be completely honest, I wasn’t totally excited with this appetizer. The sauce seemed a bit too much and strange to eat with the spinach, and I couldn’t really

taste the cheeses as much as I would have liked. The mushrooms were large and flavorful, and I did enjoy it overall. Just compared to everything else, it didn’t shine, but I know this is a great option for a vegetarian. For our entrée, we had the Cajun Seafood Pasta. This is one of my favorite pasta dishes, so I was excited to try his take. We found out Thornton is obsessed with shrimp, so this is always one of the three types of seafood, and is sautéed with garlic, spinach, and tomato, and is served with fried bread. I found it interesting that in the menu in a huge text box, it says, “Please ask your server what kind of seafood.” When it comes to seafood, I like it, but I don’t order it often, so I was confused. Now I know why (they rotate). Our seafood included the shrimp, scallops, and calamari. The moment I real-

ized it was calamari was when I scooped up noodles and a tentacle revealed itself, causing me to go wide-eyed in panic. “What is it?” asked my co-worker. She looked at me in disappointment when I pointed at it, and she stabbed a piece and ate it. “It’s good,” she said, her eyes still showing judgment. The shrimp was thicker and more substantial than most I’ve had in South Dakota. And the scallops were soft and full of flavor, which went very well with the pasta. A little bit of kale was on the side, and adding that to everything added a different and yummy taste.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE We had the chance to meet baker Kimberly Grimm, who makes their baked goods. The Key Lime Pie and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake gave us goosebumps and are some of the rotating goods they make. The Hummingbird Cake (a staple in the South) is always available.

O BOTTOM LINE: Being only 30 minutes from Sioux Falls, it's a great, quick getaway to try a different menu, and to feel the unique, jazzy atmosphere. It’s even more entertaining if you can plan to go for an event (check their website and Facebook for updates). Shrimp is in many of the dishes (but many do not, so no worries), so shrimp lovers shall rejoice!

Last, but not least, we ate (three) desserts. See box above (spoiler: they’re worth the trip alone).

A surfboard, the stage, a piano, lounge seating, blue lighting, and eclectic signs and prints add a fun, personal setting. It’s almost as if you’re in Thornton’s house, and feels that way even more so when he’s actually cooking right in front of you.

From what we ate, the Naked BLT was $5.50, the Mushroom Melt was $7, and the Cajun Pasta (with three seafood options) was only $11.50. It’s so cheap for the quality and what you get. It’s almost a steal (but we like it that way).

That was the best crab cake we’ve ever had. And the pasta was delicious. The best part was Thornton said people can request to make the pasta as tame or as spicy as they’d like, though I thought it was great as is. The Key Lime Pie was my favorite in the world (that crust, though), and I’m glad this was my introduction to Hummingbird Cake (it tastes like a giant piece of banana bread cake with some pineapple).

Brewing New Scenery Two Rapid City Owners Expand Operations and Open New Venues

BY MORGAN MATZEN

KARL KOTH AND SAM PAPENDICK ARE TWO OLD FRIENDS WITH SHARED PASSIONS FOR MICROBREWING AND FOR KEEPING THINGS LOCAL. THE TWO GREW UP IN RAPID CITY AND RECONNECTED AFTER THEY FINISHED COLLEGE. BOTH ALSO HAD TAKEN UP HOMEBREWING IN THEIR SPARE TIME AND EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO COLLABORATE, OPENING UP HAY CAMP BREWERY IN JANUARY 2014.

The pair opened up a shop in an old garage at the Fairmont Creamery in town. For the sake of keeping things local, they named it “Hay Camp” for Rapid City’s original name in the 1800s. Their first space was intimate and a little cozy, seating about 30 people at a time. “Some of the big limitations we had in the old spot were visibility. We were kind of tucked back away from the road,” said Papendick. “From a production standpoint, the brewing equipment was integrated into the

taproom, so we had our brewhouse behind the bar. Making beer and selling beer on the same day was a nightmare for us. When our lease was up at the Creamery, we knew we needed to move and address some of those issues.” They were itching to move when they came across an old Cadillac and Oldsmobile dealership built in 1948 that had most recently served as a laundry facility for Rapid City Regional Hospital. They were interested in the space and its art deco style, and they were

excited to try out a multi-business concept Papendick had seen work in other cities. “We thought that the building was a really good fit for us, and all the space was indicating that we needed to make use of it,” recalled Papendick. “The Source in Denver does this multi-business under one roof, so they have a brewery down there and a butcher shop and restaurants. We thought that was a cool concept and a good way to make use of such a large building.”

Fitting into this multi-business along with their brewery is Mothership Coffee and Commons, a coffee shop and common area with lots of natural light to draw people into the space, and new local artists featured each season. All the coffee comes from South Dakota roasters, like The Breaks Coffee Roasting Co., Pure Bean, and Essence of Coffee. “The Mothership is being transformed into more of a conference space or morning meeting room. We’re going to quit doing a coffee shop every morning and go for more of a privately booked space,” said Papendick. “We’ve got a really great storefront, why not put local artists on the walls?” The two are also working on a new music venue and private event space, Ursa Major Musical Monument. The space will have a National Park theme to fit the surrounding environment. The first show at Ursa Major will be touring band Best Coast on September 20. “(Best Coast) will be our kickoff show, and then we’ll be booking things after that. For the music, we’re featuring touring bands, people that are coming through Rapid City that are connecting between (other cities),” said Papendick. “(Ursa Major) can be used primarily for concerts, but

also wedding receptions, conferences, I guess really any private event can go in there.” Papendick said that the space could also use a restaurant, but they’ve been hosting food trucks to complement the brewery crowd for the time being. “The idea was to have a restaurant that would complement the coffee shop in the morning, and then the brewery for lunch and dinner, and that would also be able to cater into the event space,” he explained. “Hopefully we’ll be able to attract a restaurant or somebody who’s into local food and stuff that pairs really well with craft beer.” Above all, Papendick and Koth want to keep things local. Papendick said their motto is “craft your community,” and that’s all he hopes to do with this new space. “We’re all about featuring local products. We have local artists on display in the Coffee and Commons, we're doing all South Dakota-roasted coffee and tea, and we make all our own beer and serve only our beer,” he said. “It’s all about supporting small, local businesses.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT HAYCAMPBREWING.COM OR MOTHERSHIPRC.COM.
