This month, we welcome spring and all that it promises. It’s about renewal, optimism, and returning to South Dakota’s outdoor spaces. For many of us, saying goodbye to winter means taking a much needed break. For others, it’s about looking at the year ahead and all of the things we hope to accomplish before the snow returns. For our cover organization, Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation, 2015 means big things. After eight years of planning and re-planning, ground will be broken on a brand new community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It will be a decade at best before the full vision is realized, but this year marks the beginning of the end for the housing crisis, and the start of a better future for the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Although South Dakota’s reservations get a bad rap, it’s vital that we remember that there’s a lot more going on. People are dedicating their lives to improving those of their families and neighbors, and they aren’t doing it for recognition. They are doing it because it’s the right thing to do. As you’re “springing forward” this month, I challenge you to ask yourself, “What am I doing to make my community a better place?” It doesn’t have to be anything big, but if everyone makes a commitment to become a force for good, just imagine what a positive place South Dakota will be.

Donna O’Dea’s home is full of art. The canvases that dominate her wall space show images of war, poverty, archetypal fig-ures, deities, and reflections on the general human condition. “What I don’t do is flowers and houses,” she said, when asked to describe her work. “It’s more emotive than decorative. One day I’ll paint flowers, just not yet.” The works and their subject matter are deeply personal to O’Dea (arguably eastern South Dakota’s most notable psychic medium), because she has worked tirelessly, compelled by her own desire to create and channel what only she can see. The body of work is impressive for any artist, but particularly exceptional when one learns that 79-year-old O’Dea only began painting in earnest a few years ago, when a medical con-dition forced to her stay inside. “I always wanted to paint,” she said. “When my kids were
little, I’d do a painting or two. Then my husband would say, ‘What’s that good for?’ At that time I kind of believed him, but I don’t anymore. Creativity, creation – I believe it changes the whole universe.” Inspiration for the richly-colored, highly detailed paint-ings comes from O’Dea’s life experiences both in this world and on the spiritual plane. One particularly striking image depicts workers leaving Sioux Falls’ John Morrell meat pack-ing plant. “That painting really is personal,” said O’Dea. “My ex worked at Morrell’s and I’m telling you, that place spawns alcoholics. They go in when it’s dark, and in the winter, they get out when it’s dark, and they stand there and do the same thing all day long. Just look at their eyes. They just go kind of numb. And they get out and they reach for the bottle and a cigarette and they live like zombies, some of them.” A woman dressed in purple, surrounded by images of flow-ers, butterflies, and a large white feather is the focus of another work. O’Dea says the painting represents the journey of Maybelle Schein, a Sioux Falls woman who was murdered in 2011. Schein was a child-hood friend and lived next door to O’Dea’s sister at the time of her death. When she died, Schein was 75, but appears
younger in the painting. “After her passing, I saw her like I painted her,” explained O’Dea. “She loved purple. This painting is mauves and purples and I painted her wearing lots of jewelry, because she loved it. And flowers.” O’Dea continued, “There actually was a message from her. She said she wouldn’t have evolved to the point where she is today if she hadn’t gone through all of that. That boosted her spiritual growth. I’m not recommending that as a way to do it, but it is a little nice to know there’s a purpose and something good can come out of something so horren-dous.” The feather, she says, landed at her feet during Schein’s prayer service. She still keeps it as a sign that her friend is in a better place. O’Dea works chiefly with acrylic paint, because she can’t stand the fumes from oils. Her work is that of a very active mind, and while it may be temping for her to abandon one work to begin another, she forces herself to finish the task at hand before moving on. “If I tried to paint everything I’m thinking of, I’d have a whole lot of nothing,” she said. Family, friends, and clients who come to O’Dea’s home for readings have been fascinated by her art since she started making it, but she has only
shown it in public once, at a church art fair. This month, the rest of us will have a chance to view the work as well. She will be part of the March art show at the Eastbank Gallery at 8th & Railroad Center in Downtown Sioux Falls. O’Dea will show about 10 paintings, some of which will be for sale. However, some of the more personal pieces will remain in her possession. Whether she sells her work or not is inconsequential, be-cause for O’Dea, the creation is enough. Although it happened later in the game, art has been her way of telling the stories of her life, and the life that those of us with only five senses do not experience. “I know it happened when it was supposed to,” she said. “I was gifted with the time. Like everybody else, I’m just run-ning and running and running. And the universe said, ‘Have a seat.’ I think there’s a certain amount of life experience that’s necessary for some of this. I understand more. I understand on a different level; that can only come with experience and time. Some of us are born knowing a lot, but I wasn’t.” Donna O’Dea’s art can be viewed at 8th & Railroad Center’s Eastbank Gallery through March 28. The artist’s reception is 6-8 p.m. on March 6.

This month, Broadway musical Mama Mia! hits the Mary W. Sommer-vold Hall stage for two Sioux Falls performances. Musical director Kevin Casey gives 605 an inside look at what it’s like be a part of a traveling musical sensation.
Is the cast consistent during the entirety of the Mama Mia! tour?
The Mama Mia! cast on tour is a whole different cast than that based on Broadway. Our cast all travels together – they sign up for one season at a time. There are 30 actors (26 on every day and four are swings). There are six mem-bers in the orchestra, including me, 12 crew members and a few management. Additionally, it takes six drivers, (and two dogs) to drive the crew and set from location to location.
How do the actors prepare for each show on tour?
Every time we get to a new location, the cast arrives two hours before the show. The cast has a company meeting where they are shown around the theatre and have a sound check with orchestra. The cast will also rehearse before the show opens, especially if an understudy is going on. In August 2013, when everyone was starting for the first time, we had a quite lengthy rehearsal where we spent four weeks in New York.
How are the actors able to recover to do so many successful shows, as well as travel?
The cast performs eight shows a week for 36 weeks. Everyone has their own system – it is a bit of learning curve at first, especially for younger actors who aren’t used to that schedule. It takes getting used to physically. Even though it may be show 320 or something, the cast has to stay motivated, because for the audience it may be the first time or second time they are seeing the show.
What should people expect?
They should expect a good time. The music is fun. To me, it’s more about the music than anything else. The story holds it all together. In the end, it’s the music that really drives it. For people of a certain age there is a real nostalgia for that music. ABBA’s condition was that in order to use their music, the musi-cal had to keep it as close as possible to original versions. Although we had to change some lyrics to make it fit the story, it’s like a rock concert for people who don’t go to rock concerts anymore. By the end, you can stand up and dance, everybody leaves happy. Most people will leave smiling, which is a great feeling.
Mama Mia! is at the Washington Pavilion for performances March 10 & 11 at 7:30 p.m. Find ticket info at washingtonpavilion.org or (605) 367-6000.

Jess is a transplant to Portland. He’s got a master’s degree, but he’s not ex-actly taking advantage of it. He is just delivering food and living in a crappy at-tic apartment. But about once a week, he delivers food to Calyph West. Calyph is an up and coming small forward for the Trail Blaz-ers. He had a moment once in the finals. LeBron James was about to throw down a game winning dunk when Calyph came out of nowhere, rose high above the rim, and blocked the dunk as time ran out. He turned that moment into a mul-timillion dollar contract that would set him up for life. And since he’s a million-aire now, Calyph needs a driver. So Jess drives for a living, right? He’s perfect for the job. Jess takes the job. He is the driver. He has to serve Calyph and make sure he is happy. He makes way better money, but he’s
still living in the crappy attic apartment and is at Calyph’s beck and call whenever he is needed. Calyph may need a ride to the next club. Calyph may need to get to a party at one of the other player’s man-sions. Calyph may need to suddenly go to Vegas. Jess is also the driver for Antonia, Calyph’s wife. She is a tiny little white girl from the South who has been trans-planted to Portland also. She doesn’t quite fit in. She doesn’t exactly love the glamorous lifestyle associated with an up and coming NBA player. She may call Jess to suddenly leave a stupid party at her gigantic mansion. She may call Jess to shop for more stuff that she doesn’t need. She may call Jess to just drive around and avoid the glamorous life that she hates. Or she may call Jess to take her to a house that she is buying without Ca-lyph’s knowledge.
And Jess might kind of have a little crush on Antonia. And Jess might just come to Calyph’s house during a party where there is a giant ice sculpture in the back yard for some reason. And Jess just might nudge this ice sculpture and make it fall. And Calyph might twist and jump out of the way and tweak his knee. And the next day, Calyph might be dancing and completely blow out his knee. And Jess might feel a little bit respon-sible for this. Throw this on top of the fact that he has an inkling that Antonia might also have a little crush on him and is leaving Calyph, and Jess has to do something. He has to save the day. He has to nurse Calyph back into playing shape so he can be Superman again. He has to make sure that he and Antonia stay together forev-er. Because Jess is the driver. He has to serve Calyph and make sure he is happy.

This is the true story of an average guy named David who works for Loomis Fargo and steals $17 million. He takes off for Mexico and leaves the money with a bunch of people who are supposed to transport it to him and then get a cut. But they all start spending the money while he waits in Mexico. There is no way this is going to turn out well. It’s a Tarantino movie waiting to happen.

RIDE AROUND SHININGBY CHRIS LESLIE-HYNAN
Today, in this country, massive sporting events like the Super Bowl and the World Series are charged with fevered passion and hometown pride (and cute party platters arranged to look like footballs). But decades ago, at the 1980 Olympics, when an un-der-powered crew of amateur college hockey players defeated the seem-ingly bulletproof Soviet squad in what would be remembered as the “Miracle on Ice,” the game surged with a differ-ent kind of energy, stemming from the stormy political climate of the Cold War. At the time, Russia used their dominant ice hockey team (they flattened virtually all challengers from 1954-91) as a bullhorn to her-ald the preeminence of communism to the world. Tensions were so high between the US and Russia that Ron-ald Reagan made a speech underlining the political implications of the game, saying it would be “sheer folly for us to not make every conceivable prepa-ration to win.” It was a high-stakes playing field, and with his sharply composed sports documentary Red Army, film-maker Gabe Polsky (The Motel Life) explores just how shockingly high the stakes really were for the five key Rus-sian players (famously known as the
“Russian Five”) who succeeded the felled Soviet team and struggled with a shaken sense of national identity when the crushing demands of their superiors (including the high-rank-ing government officials) eventually drove them to defect to the US to play for the NHL. The film is about as riv-eting as sports docs get, peeling back the layers of men who many viewed simply as enigmatic sports prodigies, but had in reality endured enough physical and psychological abuse to fill up two films. But Polsky keeps the story taut, using expert testimonials, archival footage, and incisive inter-views with the players themselves to form a brisk, 85-minute powerhouse of a movie. Our guide through the history of the team and the infamously harsh (and successful) Russian hockey pro-gram is Viacheslav “Slava” Fetisov, the extensively decorated team captain who led his squad to a slew of victo-ries over the course of several years. We’re introduced to him in an unex-pected moment of frustration: in the middle of a sit-down interview, Slava holds up his hand to halt the ques-tions of an off-camera Polsky’s while he pokes around on his phone and takes a call, handling business mat-
ters, we assume. The director waits for a moment, but then ignores the request for a break and proceeds to ask a hilariously protracted question, goading the testy Slava to throw up a big fat middle finger in an act of an-noyed defiance. He’s rude, yes, but there’s something magnetic about the way he carries himself, always moving and speaking with purpose and with-out compromise. Red Army is most stirring when it examines the painful inner-struggle of these men who left behind a coun-try and government that took a heavy toll on their lives, but who could also never abandon their innate sense of nationalistic pride. While Slava’s time on the team ended badly, he admits in the film that he was very proud to be the captain of his country’s widely beloved hockey team. It’s these com-plexities that are often glossed over in the Russian team’s depiction in movies like Disney’s Miracle, but Pol-sky uses these inner conflicts as the driving force behind his Iron Curtain exposé, to great success.

Amira and Sam takes a wry look at post 9/11 America through the eyes of Sam (Martin
Starr), an Iraq War veteran, whose life is transformed through a relationship with Amira (Dina Shihabi), the niece of his unit’s former Iraqi translator. Its political commentary can be occasion-ally simplistic, but also offers important messages around cultural tolerance, and the strong performances of the film’s leads paper over any cracks in the film, bringing Mullin’s gentle roman-tic comedy to life. Amira and Sam is a charming film that’s hard not to fall for.

AMIRA AND SAM
Newcomer Desiree Akhavan’s film plays like an extended episode of HBO show Girls,
only from a bisexual Iranian-American perspective. Its full of awkward and nar-cissistic moments, but feels so familiar to anyone who is close to this genera-tion that it’s impossible not to be dazed by it. Though the conversation is hardly new, Appropriate Behavior demonstrates Akhavan’s keen self-awareness and co-medic timing. Forget the ironic hipster title, setting, wardrobe, and subject-matter, which mostly serve to add to a sense of intimacy in their familiarity, the real originality in Appropriate Behav-ior is its perspective, and where her film may lack, Akhavan makes up for it in authenticity.

APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
Writer-director Sara Colan-gelo expands her 2010 short film Little Accidents into her
first full-length feature, which recently received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best First Screenplay. The film provides a gritty, ugly look at the consequences of a tragedy and the way guilt eats at the souls of the deni-zens of an American blue-collar town. There’s enough talent on display, from a promising filmmaker to a breakout cast, to make Little Accidents a modest watch, but its paper-thin characters, awkward romantic subplot, and predictable con-clusion reduce the overall effectiveness of the film – a shame, because it’s the type of small independent film you want to root for.

“I really like bold colors, and I change
my mind a lot. Chairs and rugs are
easy things to switch out later if I want
something funky or different.”
“We had a lot of intention,” said Erin of their 3,200 square feet. “When we were building the house, we were thinking about organization. Everything has a place and pur-pose, so that we don’t live in a world of chaos.” That sense of purpose begins with the color palette. The home’s exterior is black with white trim. The front door, a shocking chartreuse. “I think it’s pretty cool when you drive up to it. All the other houses in the area are pretty traditional. So when you first drive up, you’re like, ‘What the heck is that?’” laughed Erin. The drama continues in room after room. “Throughout our whole house, the theme is black and white and pops of color,” she explained. “It feels really mod-ern and clean and a little minimalist.” The home’s common areas are floored in a distressed coffee-colored hardwood. The bedrooms feature plush grey carpeting. The first rooms that we see belong to the Gieg-
lings’ daughters, 5-year-old Gracen and 3-year-old Layla. Bold stripes bring focus to the walls of Layla’s room without overpowering the girl’s cartoonish pink and red furniture. Her pink light fixture is in the shape of a flower. Across the hall in Gracen’s room, the light fixture is doz-ens of daisies, suspended in a spherical shape. “We tried to do something a little quirky with all of our fixtures. For the girls, I wanted to do something super play-ful,” said Erin, who works on the sales team at DocuTap. “A lot of our stuff is from Zing, Ikea, or anywhere that focuses on modern.” Gracen’s accent wall is covered in meticulously-placed black polka dots, which blend into several rows of hand-holds. Climbing these pegs is the only way to access Gracen’s soaring loft bed. Below the bed is a curtained area with child-sized table and chairs. The Gieglings have been in their home since December.

was the one they ultimately chose. They liked that Stencil could include all of the personal touches they wanted, while staying in their price range. They also liked that their home, just south of 57th Street in southeast Sioux Falls was in the peanut-free Harrisburg School District. One way they personalized their home was by bumping it out about four feet. This allowed for ample clos-ets in all of the home’s five bedrooms, while leaving space for a large walk-in pantry. The pantry, which is across the hall from a generously-sized mudroom, serves as storage for dry goods, as well as many of the larger countertop appli-ances. “It’s just good to have the space,” said Troy. “When we walked into our old house, we had an entryway that was tiny, and there’s shoes and stuff you had to organize every day. Now there’s storage space, so the girls can know ex-actly where to put everything.” The kitchen, dining area, and liv-ing space are part of an open-concept great room. Thanks to the pantry, the faux marble laminate kitchen coun-tertops are sparse and clean, gleaming alongside the stainless steel appliances against ebony-colored cabinets. The living room is architecturally defined by perimeter of black trim inset in the ceiling. “People thought we were crazy when we said we were going to do our house and the trim and everything black,” said Erin. “They were like, ‘You’re going to hate it, because you’ll have to wipe everything down all the time.’ But we feel like it really works. I give the girls washcloths and let them go to town.” The master suite includes a walk-in closet and an en suite bath, which features double sinks and a walk-in shower. The shower’s floor is textured to look and feel like river rock. The basement is finished, with a

large family room, two more bedrooms, and a third bathroom. Right now, the basement bedrooms serve as a play-room and a place for Troy, who works as membership director at The Country Club of Sioux Falls, to get ready early in the morning. Someday, the Gieglings imagine their daughters will move into them. The lower level is also where Erin finds herself happiest with her new home. “It’s not very sexy, but this is prob-ably my favorite part of the house. This storage space is probably 10 times big-ger than we had in our old house,” she said, gesturing to the farthest corner in the basement’s only unfinished room. “You also have all of this space way back here. I think eventually, what we’ll want to do is sheet rock it and finish it. And then make it a gym.” When asked his favorite part of the house, Troy agreed, “It’s got to be the storage room for me. In our last house, our third stall was our storage area – for stuff that even should have been inside.” Speakers are mounted discreetly throughout the home’s interior and even outside the back sliding door, where the Gieglings’ next major proj-ects await. “This spring, we plan to focus on the yard, put in a sprinkler system and a pergola and a little bit of landscap-ing,” said Erin. Theirs is a home that makes a dis-tinct personal statement, one the Gieg-lings plan to make for the foreseeable future. “We’re good,” said Erin. “We had a great house before, but we really want-ed to have a place where we would be able to expand and grow.” To learn more about DocuTap, visit docutap.com.

The parking lot is a little hairy, but once you get inside, the vibe is decidedly
positive, and the décor is unfussy and welcoming.

Even though we all got the buffet, and the restaurant was super-busy the whole time
we were there, our server was right on top of refills and bussing empty plates.

The chicken was amazing. Most of the sides were really good, but some were just
okay.
It could be an incomparable sushi roll made only at a place by your college apartment, or the potato salad your grandma prepared for barbecues. One thing is for sure – we all have re-membered foods we long for in an irrational way. For me, one of these is The Keg’s fried chicken. An east Sioux Falls mainstay, for years it was where my family ordered from every time we were in the mood for chicken. Then, shortly after opening a second west side location, both Sioux Falls restaurants shut down. The Keg and its mythical chicken were deposited into the food-memory bank, destined to become the behemoth all other chickens would vainly attempt to overtake.
That is, until The Keg came back. Like the fare, the return was not flashy. Aside from a few small news items marking the closure of Sneaky’s Chicken that
mentioned The Keg would be the new tenant, things have been quiet. That is, everywhere but The Keg itself. I stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday after-noon. The parking lot was packed, but I found a spot right away. Diners who presumably arrived to find all the spaces full had gotten creative, making their own row.
Inside, we claimed one of the few open tables. Our booth was tucked under a decorative metal roof overhang. The roof-

ing, along with the chicken-heavy country-style wall décor gave the space a more established, homey feel than the gas station-adjacent exterior would suggest. As we perused the menu, I had a Pavlovian response to the prospect of eating something I never expected to eat again. My mouth was salivating and I swear I could feel my body release a dose of endorphins. All three of us decided to go with the buffet, but just in case it wasn’t packed with enough fried goodness, we ordered the Half Naked Cheese Balls and potato wedges, too. The buffet included sides like mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls, green beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, baked beans, a weak effort at a salad bar (iceberg lettuce, two dressings, cracker and crouton packets – but really, who’s eating here for the salad?), and of course, the chick-en. I got a little of everything, except the green beans. They looked fine, but when I’m prioritizing space on my heavy duty paper plate, they’re not getting on the lifeboat. The baked beans were sweet, smoky, and dotted with large chunks of bacon. The mashed potatoes had a lot of flavor without the gravy, the addition of which turned the side into a future must-order. The mac had good, sharp cheese flavor, but had gotten a bit dry sitting on the buffet. The coleslaw, dinner roll and salad were satisfying, in a standard fare sort of way. Our appetizers arrived right after we sat down. The cheese balls had a breading more akin to what you would find on a fried cheese curd at a county fair. The coating was light and crispy, as opposed to the heavy, bumpy bread-crumb coating surrounding the cheese chunks at most bar and grills. In the years since The Keg’s departure from Sioux Falls, I had forgotten about their potato wedges. Such a day for reunions. This is another thing done right, where so many others fail. Serving a smaller wedge, The Keg’s seasoned-coating-to-potato-ratio is just about perfect. The star of the show, however, was the chicken. My wing and breast were actually as good as I remembered – and we got our pieces from the buffet. Mind. Blown. The breading on the chicken was per-fectly seasoned, impos-sibly crunchy, and not too heavy. Inside, the meat was moist, ten-der, and abundant. No one at our table could shut up about how good it was. Bottom line: Some-times, things live up to their legend.

It’s the facts...
· Keg Chicken is marinated, batter dipped and put in the fryer one piece at a time. It’s also pulled from the fryer and shaken one piece at a time.
· The coleslaw is Neil’s mother’s recipe and has used it for over 30 years.
· The menu at the new 12th Street location has been cut way back because of space, but chicken remains the restaurant’s priority.

When Lori Dykstra opened L Couture Boutique last year in Sioux Falls, she wanted to celebrate its grand opening in a special way. Along with showcasing the boutique’s clothing and accessories through a fashion show, she hoped to incorporate a cause close to her heart as well.
(page 34) MARCH 2015GET INVOLVED BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH
“I’m really passionate about businesses giving back to the community you live in,” said Dykstra. “The fashion show was not only a way to introduce ourselves to Sioux Falls, but to help support and give back.” Losing her own son, Jakob, to a rare brain cancer when he was just 6 years old, Dykstra has a history of fundrais-ing. She started the JLB Fund endowment at Sanford’s Children’s Hospital, the only Cure Kid’s Cancer hospital in the region. The primary objective of Cure Kid’s Cancer is to keep children close to home while they fight cancer, while working with media and corporate partners to raise funds and public awareness. The L Couture Fashion Show was not only a way to present the new store to the commu-nity, but to raise money and awareness for an even greater cause. With 2014’s grand opening a success, Dykstra has even greater plans for the second annual L Couture Fashion Show, taking place at Icon Lounge on Saturday, March 21. There is more than one way to give on the night of the fashion show. Icon’s event hall will feature live music, wine tasting, and an array of jewelry, bath and body, makeup, and skin care vendors – many of the products already avail-able at L Couture Boutique. Opening at 7 p.m., the first hour of the event has been coined a “sip and shop,” with a percentage of both drink and vendor sales going towards the JLB Fund and Cure Kids Cancer. The main event not only features L Couture’s spring
and fall 2015 fashion lines, but it also centers attention on the primary purpose of the night. Beginning at 8 p.m., the runway show is Dykstra’s favorite hour. Many of her mod-els are mothers of children battling cancer. “Watching the women walk, I know how dark a time that can be. I’ve been through that. It’s just about them. It’s not about their kids suffering through treatment. It’s so great to see them forget about that. It’s an incredibly seri-ous issue, but they need to have fun, too,” said Dykstra. For this year, she is adding in a few elements of sur-prise, hinting at video components and a “Cirque de Soleil feel” to the show. With last year’s event running out of seating, and hardly any standing room to spare, Dykstra is putting in the effort to maintain her audience, creating a show that will keep guests entertained and coming back for more. There will be various opportunities to support Cure Kids Cancer and the JLB Fund on the night of the L Cou-ture Fashion Show. Along with ticket sales and a percentage of proceeds from the local businesses participating, dona-tion envelopes and drop boxes will be scattered throughout the venue.

FASHIONABLE FUNDRAISING
BUILDING A BRIGHTER
FUTUREWritten by Denise DePaolo
Images by Bonny Fleming of Asio Studio
Time is short for poverty on the Pine Ridge Indian Reserva-
tion. That is, if Nick Tilsen has his way.
Tilsen is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He grew up on
Pine Ridge, where it’s not unusual for several generations to live
under one small roof. For many, living with relatives is a necessity,
since housing options on South Dakota’s reservations are infa-
mously scant.
“A
lot of
times houses
are built for five
or six people to live in,”
he said. “But when you start to
get 10, 15, even 20 people living in a
house, there’s a lot of wear and tear on the
house, and the standard of living in some of
those homes gets really harsh.”
Part of the problem lies the area’s ag-
ing, insufficient infrastructure. Building has
come to a virtual standstill on Pine Ridge
because utilities are maxed out. That means
no homes for sale and nothing to rent. As
a result, half of the 5,000-person workforce
commutes off the reservation at the end of
the day, taking their money with them.
“A huge amount of them become the
working poor, because they’re spending a
huge amount of their disposable income on
transportation related costs,” said Tilsen,
who realized at a young age that no white
knight was coming to help, and no amount
of wishing would improve his tribe’s reality.
The only way he saw to break the cycle of
poverty was to take action at grassroots level,
starting the Thunder Valley Community
Development Corporation in 2007.
“It was inspired by young people,” he
said of the non-profit, which has grown to
employ a full time staff of 10. “We were in
our early 20s at the time, getting reconnected
to our Lakota ceremonies and traditions.
What grew out of that was a sense of respon-
sibility to improve the lives of our people and
community.”
Sitting on 34 acres just south of the
Badlands, nine miles from the geographic
heart of the reservation, the organization
aims to address systemic
causes
of
poverty –
unemployment,
insufficient education, and
lack of affordable housing. At
first glance the lonely, windswept ter-
rain surrounding Thunder Valley seems like
a strange place for a planned community, but
nearby Sharp’s Corner is Pine Ridge’s second
most traveled intersection.
“When you sit here at eight or nine
in the morning, then at four or five o’clock,
there’s a lot of traffic coming through this ru-
ral area,” said Tilsen. “It’s a natural corridor
where people are traveling to get groceries,
to go to Rapid City. That’s why when you
look at it, it makes sense to develop in this
area. The idea is to be able to capture some
of those dollars and keep them here in the
community.”
Right now, the first of dozens of single-
family homes stands next to Thunder Valley’s
administrative offices. Like other structures
to soon inhabit the site, it was built with
sustainability in mind. A tiny window in one
wall shows the straw bales used for insula-
tion. This and other green building methods
are part of the curriculum for the first class
accepted into Thunder Valley’s 10-month
Workforce Development
Through Sustainable Construction Program,
which kicked off in January.
“There’s three essential parts,” said
program manager Beau White. “First is
the construction side of things. For the first
three months, we have our participants
educating themselves, taking classes with our
lead construction trainer, and really sitting
down in a classroom environment and learn-
ing how to do sustainable construction. And
not only that, but the safety and protocols
that come along with construction.”
Completion of the classroom portion
will coincide with the groundbreaking of
Thunder Valley Phase One this summer. It
includes plans for 21 single family houses,
of which the program participants will build
three or four.
“The other part is education,” contin-
ued White. “Our 10 individuals each create
an education plan. We have varying levels
of education among our participants – from
trying to achieve GEDs to almost graduating
college. They set goals for themselves – both
short term while they’re in the program and
long term when they’re out of the program,
and we really help them whether it’s enroll-
ing in college, achieving their GEDs, or even
taking vocational classes to further their
career in construction.”
The third part of the program is asking
participants to create a success strategy,
which includes a plan for improving per-
sonal finances.
“The major goal that we’re trying
accomplish is to empower these people and
get them ready to be professionals who have
control over their own lives, to further their
education and get them ready for what’s next
after the program. We want to give them the
tools to be successful,” said White.
The class of 10 was chosen from a pool
of more than 50 applicants. They are all
Oglala Sioux tribal members ranging from
18 to 26 years of age, and before entering the
program, they were all unemployed. Now,
thanks to a grant from the Administration
for Native Americans, they are being paid to
learn.
“I’m pretty happy to be doing some-
thing every single day for sure,” said 20-year-
old Jerome Lebeaux Jr. “I think it’s helped
my mood. I feel better having a job and still
going to school at the same time.”
Lebeaux is a working on a degree in
Lakota Studies with an emphasis in Indian
Law. The morning of the interview, he and
his classmates finished grouting the floor tile
in Thunder Valley’s lone house, which also
serves as their classroom.
“I’ve learned a lot of stuff,” said Santana
White Dress of her first two weeks in the
program. “There’s so many new things you
learn every day, because it’s construction.
There’s all kinds of different ways you can do
things.”
Last summer, an internship that
focused on energy efficient housing piqued
White Dress’s interest in construction.
“It really got my attention and I wanted
to keep going,” she said. “It will help out the
reservation and it will be good to have these
houses all over the place.”
Nineteen year-old White Dress, who
takes college courses in computer informa-
tion technology, is one of three women in
the program. Tilsen hopes to achieve a 50/50
gender balance over time, but he was happy
to get three women in the first class.
“We think that when other women see
them doing the work, that they’ll be inspired
to apply,” he said.
“There’s times when I feel like I can’t
do something,” White Dress admitted, “but
I tell myself I have to do it, because there are
people who look up to me.”
Launching the workforce develop-
ment program is a major step for Tilsen in
realizing his vision for Thunder Valley, and
ultimately, a better Pine Ridge.
“The byproduct is a subsidized house.
The equity in that house gets passed on to a
low income Native American family looking
to get into home ownership,” he said. “It’s a
system where a family that wouldn’t have the
ability to own a home now has the ability.
So there’s no disconnect between what we’re
doing in workforce training and our goal
of getting Native American families into
homes. It’s a way to accomplish both as an
integrated system.”
Thunder Valley won’t just have low
income homes. A 10-year plan includes
housing opportunities for everyone who
wants to live there. And with a concentrated
population will come businesses, like a
grocery store, fitness center, and childcare
facilities – all built by the people who will
use them. It is a strategy meant to address
immediate physical needs, but in an equally
important way, it aims to bolster a sense
of ownership, pride, and community spirit
amongst tribal members.
“It’s a model where we help lift each
other up in the process. It’s not that we don’t
believe in outside help, but we believe in
outside help that supports us solving our
own problems,” said Tilsen of supporters like
the Bush and Northwest Area foundations.
“No one can snap their fingers and end the
poverty on Pine Ridge, but the message I
want to send is this – we want something
better for our people, and we’re willing to roll
up our sleeves to make it happen. We’re not
expecting somebody else to arrive and do it
for us.”

Nestled into a corner on the edge of downtown Rapid City sits a garage.THE GARAGE
(page 44) MARCH 2015THE SCOOP BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON
Images by Kinsey Gustafson.
Not just any garage. The Garage. What was once an auto repair shop in a historical building is now a collaborative workspace where ideas and hard work merge. Co-owners of The Garage and prin-cipals of the Numad Group, Matt Ehl-man, Kerry Brock, and Ted Stephens III spent years working out of coffee shops and decided it was time to have a spot where members could work together in a space that inspires creative ideas. “There was a Chevy commercial we saw that was about all great ideas coming out garages,” said Stephens. “It came on when we were creating this space. Apple started in the garage, [Bill] Gates started in the garage. This is a place that was built in 1929, where innovative things happened with cars, and the same can be done now.” Ehlman, Stephens, and Brock want-ed a building that was iconic to Rapid City. The location of the building and its neighborhood worked perfectly with their vision for the collaborative work-space. Creative ideas and input from members is encouraged, and as Ehlman puts it – people now work hard and labor over computers instead of a car engine. The Garage is filled with original
windows and doors from the auto repair shops. A porcelain water fountain that sits in the front is the original one from 1929. The feel of The Garage is meant to inspire hard work from years past to carry forward. The Garage offers three different memberships for workspaces. The Alfa Romero Membership is a designated of-fice, the Cadillac Membership is a des-ignated workspace within The Garage, and the Classic Membership is a drop-in membership, where people can come and work at any available desk or table. There are currently 11 full offices, room for 12 work stations and a number of drop-ins available. All memberships also include bottomless coffee – among other perks. In addition to serving as a collab-orative workspace, The Garage is home to a variety of events and activities open to the community. Music performances, documentary screenings, and morning yoga are all happening at The Garage. Jason Alley is a member of The Garage and principal of Jakelope. He had the idea of bringing in a six-month film se-ries, running until May. Films are typi-cally screened on the second Tuesday of each month. “We’re converting [The Garage] into
to a pop-up yoga studio. Recently there were a couple people that started a medi-tation group and they will do that a cou-ple days a week. NOSH has partnered up with us as well and every Thursday they park their food truck out here,” said Al-ley. Another event that takes place in The Garage is called the Morning Fill Up. It’s a platform for a conversation between the community and a community leader. Recently, Heather Wilson, president of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology was the community leader attending the Fill Up. Past conversations involved Jennifer Ford Reedy, president of The Bush Foundation as well as Carl Artman, former head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. “I think part of organizing themes around this is when we think of guests, we think of people who can talk about community or are leaders of commu-nities,” said Brock. “This is the kind of a space for makers and doers, and the guests that we invite for the Morning Fill Up are makers and doers in society.” The Garage is located at 402 St. Jo-seph Street.

Dixon Coffee Company, a quaint, modern building in the parking lot of Knecht Home Center was truly a labor of love. Owner/operator Kayleigh Dixon, a barista of nine years, always dreamt of owning her own busi-ness doing what she’s passionate about. Her husband, Christopher – an architectural engineer – de-signed and literally built the coffee shop from the ground up (“with help from friends and family”). Spreading their passion for peo-ple, homemade organic goods and fair trade coffee, this couple is get-ting back to their roots.
How has business been since you opened this fall?
K: It’s been really good. There’s a big demand in the health industry right now. People are really look-ing for better options, and that’s where we’re going with this. We want to still serve up some yummy stuff, but have better options.
Tell us about what your coffee shop
has that other shops might not.
K: For one thing, our coffee beans are all fair trade organic – organic being as little use of pesticides in the beans as possible and fair trade as a global standpoint.C: All farmers get paid equally. They all have kids and are trying to make a living, too. Instead of tell-ing them ‘what are you going to do for us,’ they say ‘what is a fair price for your hard work?’ It’s more about people than actually making dollar bills.
Where do you get your beans from?
K: It’s out of Washington with a company called Grounds for Change. We started planning this idea a year before we built, and it took us that long to source all of our ingredients and how exactly we were going to do everything. C: We were experimenting in our basement with a little espresso machine [laughed]. We had all these companies sending us beans.
What other products do you use?
C: We make a lot of stuff in house. We make some syrups in house, use all organic materials – sugar and all that. We have vanilla, ha-zelnut and almond. It’s pretty unique for our industry. We make our own almond milk, too.K: We use local organic nut butter to make [the almond milk]. We make our own vanilla extract. It takes six months. C: It’s going back to home cooking. We make our own whipped cream, too. It’s a lot of work, but the qual-ity makes a big difference, and you can taste it.
How did you decide on the loca-tion?
K: We had talked and talked and talked and wondered where the right spot was. One day I realized, ‘Honey, you’re in the location!’” C: It just so happens we work in the same parking lot – I design for Knecht Home.K: He can keep an eye on me, I guess.C: And I can’t sneak out for lunch anymore [both laughed].
What do you have coming up this spring?K: We have great iced tea and a lot of smoothies. We are coming out with new smoothies with less sug-ar and more protein using fresh fruit.
This seems like a great concept with everyone getting more into caring what goes into their bodies these days.K: I like the movement. I like what’s going on. I like to think of our tagline as ‘going back to our roots.’ C: I also think the people are the best part of our business. You make someone’s day by getting their day started right. Check out Dixon Coffee Company 6:30 a.m. – 7 p.m. at 915 Omaha Street near downtown Rapid City. For more info, find them on social media, at www.dixoncoffeecompany.com or call (605) 390-0509.

Oh! How I do love thee technology. I can find out anything I need to know (and also what I don’t need to know) with a quick inquiry to Google. I can map myself to anywhere I want to go. I can find out things about girls my brothers are dating before my brothers even know the poor girl’s last name. I can arm the alarm to my house from anywhere in the world. I can incorrectly diagnose myself with any medical ailment you can think of. I
co-parenting with technology
can stalk where my husband is at any given mo-ment (not creepy at all). And finally, I can waste a perfectly glorious day holed up in my room binge watching Downton Abbey episodes until I’m speak-ing in a British accent. You see, technology and me? We’ve become quite close. Unfortunately, this relationship has enacted unintended consequences on my offspring. My daughter has been a first-hand witness to all the texting, googling, talking to Siri, and “there’s an app for that” behavior of mine. Despite my at-tempts to limit her usage, she has noticed that technology plays a very present role in her par-ent’s everyday life and, naturally, it is beginning to take a prominent role in hers. We recently took a trip to Arizona to make sure that temperatures still exist over 30 degrees. We were relieved to find that, in fact, they do. In addi-tion to that very important finding, it was this trip I began to notice my daughter’s reliance and desire for all things technology. For example, when we boarded the plane, one of the first questions she asked me was “Does airplane have Wi-Fi, Mom-my?” Whoa. First of all, no it does not and it abso-lutely should! But second, how do you know about Wi-Fi, 3-year-old child of mine? When I flew in an airplane as a child, I was most concerned about be-ing the one who got to sit by the window and how many bags of peanuts the flight attendant would surrender to me. But, gone are the days of peanuts, and gone are the days of window watching for children growing up in this generation. After all, who wants to look outside when we have information, entertain-ment, and distraction available on our devices? Therein exists the conundrum. As it is so readily available, are our children relying too much on technology? Am I, the relatively perfect mother (blatant lie), relying too much on technology? And, while I am at it, what happened to all the bags of peanuts? I read a report the other day that said it would be beneficial to limit any type of screen time for children to 30 minutes and under per day and to never use it as a “babysitter.” I immediately thought to myself, “Another parenting fail on my part. We watch at least two Daniel Tiger’s Neigh-borhood per morning. Oops.” But, I put the study to the test and limited my daughter for one day to only 30 minutes of any sort of technology (phones, iPads, TV, computers, etc.). The result? We played together, we colored, we imagined, we danced, read books, stared at each other, and then

we napped. When it came time to prepare dinner, I turned on her favorite PBS show and turned it off right as it was over. So, limiting screen time to 30 minutes is not com-pletely impossible, but it definitely takes dedication on my end. The next day, however, was a different story. I wasn’t feeling well, so we watched movies. I let her scroll through pictures on my phone. Dinner that night was out with family, so I turned on YouTube at the dinner table so we could talk and eat in peace. And at the end of the day, I cringed at how many minutes of screen time she probably logged on to her little brain. In fact, how many minutes had I logged on to my little brain? Whether you are a parent or not, the technology-life balance struggle is real. How many people do you know can’t be parted from their phone for longer than a nano-second? Are you one of those people? As a parent in our technology-ridden age, how do we showcase a balance to our children with technology in our own lives? How do we harness the power of technology and not let it harness us or our children? I don’t have the answers. But, wait! I bet there is a You-Tube tutorial out there about it… I’ll let you know. Follow Tracy on her blog, www.littleparentontheprairie.com. She would love to hear from you!
I have a friend who hasn’t called me for over a year. Even when I visit my hometown, she doesn’t meet up with me. Recently I went home for a weekend, and after I left she sent me a passive aggressive text saying to reach out next time. This is ridiculous, correct?
- Anonymous
JR: Did you glean the passive aggres-siveness from emojis? If so, proceed with caution. I just discovered that the emoji I thought stood for ‘I don’t know’ actually means ‘sassy hair flip.’ Give her a second chance; her true meaning may have been lost in translation.
JW: Laaaaaaaamesville. Tell your ex-friend that you’re over them and you don’t have time for no scrubs. And then end the call with ‘you’re fired’ or ‘auf wiedersehen’. Something to make an exit with a little flair. Try out some new material.
JT: Though it may be ridiculous, they obviously must still care about you. Maybe call them and have a short catch-up about what you were doing home and the next time you can con-nect. It sounds like a good sign for your friendship.
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?

DISCLAIMER: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.
I live in an apartment where people prop our entrance often. A package I ordered never showed, so I wrote a flier to the complex with my complaint/concern about thieves. A day later, my package was delivered. Do I just pretend it never came?
- Oops
JR: I have a standing pizza delivery order for every Friday at 11 p.m. Last Friday, 11:15 hits and no pizza. So I call my hookup at the pizza joint and just let him have it until he agrees to send one for free. While I’m on the phone, pizza shows up. Now I have two pizzas. Pretend it never came.
JW: I would tell the landlord. No need for a press release. I’m sure the tenants thought it was a laundry room notice that they ignored.
JT: I would tell the landlord. No need for a press release. I’m sure the tenants thought it was a laundry room notice that they ignored.
I think I’m getting worse with names as I age. What is a good tip to remember someone’s name?!
- Networking Sucks
JR: Immediately add everyone you meet as a Facebook friend. Once they accept, Google his or her name to learn as much information about them as possible. If they have photographs online, save them to your phone. I never forget names.
JW: Give everyone a nickname. Seriously, this is your world and we just live in it. Name us. Name us master!
JT: I’ve heard to remember someone by part of their appearance. Like... Gold Earrings Lucy. Did I mention I suck at remembering names, too?

Percent of students reported drinking alcohol at least one day during spring break. In a 2009 study published by the National Institutes of Health, 23.6 percent of participants say they drank on five or more days of spring break, while 4.4 percent reported drinking every day. Students participating in the study drank an average 15.26 alcoholic beverages during their 10-day break.

10 Flights to the Orlando area leave from Sioux Falls during the month of March. Allegiant Air, FSD’s only commercial carrier with direct flights to the Sunshine State, also flies into the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. According to AAA South Dakota, Florida is the number-one spring break destination for South Dakotans. Mexico comes in second, with winter escape mainstays like Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
March is the number-one month for teen pregnancies. Babymed.com cites a study of 850 pregnant teen women that shows they are much more likely to conceive in March than adult women. This has been attributed to the breaks most high schools and colleges have during that month. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest discussing contraception with teens before they head to Cozumel.

If you walk into The Studio in Rapid City to check out a POUND class, don’t be too confused when there are people banging drumsticks on the ground with club lights flashing, completely drenched in sweat.
The new fitness trend out of Los Angeles – a full car-dio jam session combining light resistance with constant simulated drumming – combines cardio and Pilates into a 40-minute series. POUND can burn between 400 to 900 calories per hour, strengthening and sculpting infrequently used muscles. Co-owner and operator Teresa Gonzalez uses a 40-minute fat-burning format for all of her classes. “You’re going to have a sort of up-down effect where you’ll have spurts where you think you’ll throw up for a little moment, but then we bring you back down for a bit,” she explained. “It’s supposed to fat-burn post workout for 30 minutes to three hours, depending on how hard you hit it.” Gonzalez, who went to the University of South Dakota for music, creates a light-hearted dance routine in a follow-the-leader-type format. “We try to do a lot more choreography-based to keep it more exciting. When the music picks up, it picks up,” she said. Gonzalez discovered the class when she was searching for a complimentary toning program with their dance-style classes. What drew her in was the use of drumming to make
working out an experience rather than a chore. “It’s basically Pilates and squats, but you have weight-ed drumsticks in your hands, so it’s very fun and rhyth-mic so you don’t know you just did like 500 squats,” she laughed. Gonzalez is also into mixing up the music often so the classes stay fresh. Every couple weeks she will add one to two new tracks. “I like to do current. I dig through iTunes and try to find songs, sometimes before they even come out on the radio.” For those who are not dancers, don’t feel intimated to try POUND out. “The first time you come it may be a little overwhelm-ing, but the second time you’ve seen most of the material,” said Gonzalez. “We do a one week trial for people to come check it out so that you can really feel the workout, but everyone’s first workout people generally leave a happy, sweaty mess.” For a full list of classes at The Studio, visit www.stretch-studiofitness.com.

Ahh March, the month of the spring equinox. More daylight, no more sub-zero temperatures, spring flora, birds chirping? Let’s face it, in South Dakota it may take a little longer for true spring to arrive. Are you feeling the winter blues? Needing a little sunshine in your days? You’re not alone! Personally, I’m feeling a little impatient for longer, warmer days but instead of wishing for it, join me in finding
your happy this month. Give these healthy ideas a try to shake off the winter blahs.
W i n t e r P i c k - M e - U p
I know it’s easy to say, but it’s time to push yourself off the cozy couch. Exercise = release of neurotransmitter “feel good” chemicals = happy! Let that ‘high’ you experience after physical activity become your motivation to start.
Try a new group fitness class to shake up your routine.
Find a like-minded workout buddy to keep you accountable.
Shorter duration workouts are great when you’re short on time or motivation (see my HIIT workout in the February issue of 605 Magazine). Small bouts of movement throughout the day count!
GET MOVING!
Create the effect of a warm, sunny day with some positive vibes. Mind/body techniques can easily be incorporated into your day.
Positive self-talk. Simple thoughts of gratitude can offset complaints about winter or feelings about the less-than-desirable habits you’ve formed this winter (being less active, weight gain, etc).
Meditation can do wonders. It’s not as time consuming as you may think, and you can’t do it wrong. Download a simple app on your phone and a grab a pair of headphones. It’s amazing how slowing down and taking time to ‘just be’ can happen in as little as 10 minutes.
Try a little aromatherapy to lift your spirits. Candles or oils in citrus or mint are uplifting, or choose scents of spring that resonate with you.
BRING SUNSHINE INTO YOUR DAY
BE ACTIVELY SOCIALSocial interactions can turn your mood around in a positive way. Take the initiative to ask your friends or family out for some fun. Think out of the box and go somewhere other than the usual meet-up at restaurants or bars, which will literally weigh you down even more.
Snowshoeing a state park or nature area.
Bowling is a great way to keep your competitive drive, while staying indoors.
Trampoline park, like Skyzone in Sioux Falls.
TIME FOR A PHYSIQUE CHECKStep away from the comfort foods! It’s been a long winter hiding under long sleeves, coats and boots. You don’t even need to step on a scale, simply go to the back of your closet and find your favorite spring clothes. How are they fitting? Look forward to your summer body by taking action now! You’ll thank yourself by the time you get to wear them.
Be mindful of highly
processed, high sugar, and fatty foods that will only bring your mood back down after eating them.
Try food logging for a while to get back in touch with true serving sizes. You may be surprised how much you’ve been winter overeating.
Bring happy to your plate with a rainbow of fruits and veggies. We all know this, but at the end of the day, back-to-basics foods just plain make you feel better and give you more energy.
Enough untangling! No more cord
hassle on your travels with a roll
that has a place for everything.
