Show Bonus Hour. Super excited for my guest today, Jordan Deffenbaugh. He
is with an organization called the c r C and they are the Community Revitalization
Collective. They're a bunch of do gooders doing all kinds of good stuff.
I love that. That's awesome. Yesterday they did a thing called Citizen Taco.
They do that every Wednesday, so if you missed it yesterday, it's
okay. They'll do it again next Wednesday and the following Wednesday. And we're
going to chat with them all about that. And they've also got a thing
called the Tool Library Suit Falls Tool Library. I keep saying tool lending Library,
because here's why there's a thing called the toy Lending Library. Two completely
different things. In my brain, I've got them tied together. They're not
related other than they're both amazing organizations. But this one, the Sue Falls
Tool Library. You could become a member for as little as fifty dollars a
year, and then when you have like a need for tools, instead of
going out and buying a tool, you's going on and pick one up and
you use it, and then you bring it back when you're done, like
like a library. How cool is that. I've got a bunch of tools
that when we finish the projects that we have. We got a bunch of
projects going on right now, but when we get done with them, I'm
going to be taking them to the tool Library. We're gonna be chatting with
Jordan Dffenball all about that. We've also got them scheduled for next week because
they've got some events coming up next week, and we've got them scheduled for
the following week because they've got more stuff coming up the following week. They
are busy, busy folks at the CRC. We're going to chat with him
all about that coming up. Thanks for listening to The John and Heidi Show

Show. Excited to visit right now with Jordan Deffenbaugh. He is with Community
Revitalization Collective CRC and they're doing some amazing things in Sue Falls. And first
thing we're going to talk about here is the Soux Falls Tool Lending Library,
the suit Falls Tool Library. Rather, this is a thing that you guys
started recently. Tell me a little bit about this, Jordan. It's a
really cool idea. Well, yeah, it's a really cool idea. It's
also a really simple one. Um. What it is is we have a
collection of tools and if you want to join, to become a member of
the Tool Library, it's fifty dollars a year and then you have access to
the whole sellection, so that stuff like drills, brooms, shovels, we
have lawnmowers, and we're our collection is growing, so as the membership grows,
it also opens the door for new possibilities. Obviously, right now we're
in a small space at nine two one East eighth Street. We're actually round
back in two balls uf goota it's like the old SMOs Pub formerly Red Sea
Pub, and we are round the back and folks can check us out.
We're mostly open during the day, like four to six. We're in the
midst of finding volunteers right now, so we're hopefully getting in full operation in
the next month or so. But we're pretty active on social media Facebook.
If folks we need to message us or email us, we were pretty responsive.
So if folks have donations or if they want to get in to check
out the tool library at a certain time, we're pretty responsive. Sue Falls.
Tool library dot org is the website for that. And are there specific
tools that you guys are looking for? You going, Man, I really
wish somebody had one of these, you know, I think right now,
I think it folks. If folks we're willing to donate, like some decent
power tools. We have a selection of drills and sawsalls and things like that,
but like getting a few solid bets like a really nice impact driver and
a really nice circular saw with a consistent battery set, like sayd Walt or
Milwaukee, those types of brands would be really helpful. Otherwise, I mean,
we're steadily giving getting the stuff that we want. Whis been really interesting
is and this is sort of the power of asking, so to speak.
There have been times where I'm like, Okay, I have a post hole
digger that I need for a project, a community project with the CIREC,
Like, Okay, where do I get one? Well, I just jumped
on to Facebook on social media and said, Hey, does anyone out there
have a spare post hole digger? And within about forty eight hours, I'll
find one. Someone will drop one off. That's like it's happened several times.
Yeah, And I think it's like people see the like, oh I
got I got this tool lying around, I'm not using it. I might
as well have these guys to use it. They can manage the resource.
Folks can come use that tool if they ever need to um. But then
it's also open to other folks in the neighborhood, in the community. And
I look at it like there's so many times people come around to a project
and there's something in the way, they're missing a tool, and they just
need that one tool and they can complete it. And that's what I think,
that's what we're trying to alleviate some of those spaces. I love that
and I've got some tools I'm gonna be bringing to I was telling you that
we've got several projects we're gonna be wrapping up soon, and when we're done
with these, I'm going to be bringing a whole bunch of stuff down there.
So I'll see if we can. Maybe when it's time to do that,
maybe we'll also post a thing online asking other folks, Hey, yeah,
you've got some stuff, We'll bring it down. I think this is
really cool. Again, the tool library, the sious Falls Tool Library,
sous Falls tool Library dot org. And one of the other things you guys
do. I think this is really cool as well. Citizen Taco, and
this is the thing you do on Wednesdays. Tell me a little bit about
what you guys do for Citizen Taco. Well, Citizen Taco is also a
very simple concept. You come to the stand, I give you a taco,
and then you give me an idea to make the community better. So
we're every week, we're there out in front of the Union Gospel Mission Turst
store. We've just recently started working with Rudy Navarrat who has the Rudy Taco
bus, and so we are working with him and now we're serving upwards of
one hundred and fifty people a week and it's a way for folks to get
to know each other in the way of your neighborhood. And a lot of
these folks might be houseless. They might be residents of the Bishop Dudley,
they might be folks that just live in the way of your neighborhood, or
the folks that are just like coming down to have tacos, and it offers
a really safe space to engage with the community and actually get a sense of
like, Okay, what's going on on Eighth Street, what's happening? And
yeah, there's a lot of I mean with there's a lot of houses people
down there, and as a result, there are challenges that have come from
that that density. So we're trying to understand that at the CRC, and
we use in Taco to create a really safe space to build community. If
you'd like to learn more about that, my CRC dot org. My CRC

Day in Sioux Falls History brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page and
Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this day, July twentieth,
nineteen oh three, a brand new Carnegie Public Library open to the public in
Sioux Falls. The first library in Sioux Falls was created by the Ladies History
Club back in eighteen eighty one and was greatly expanded by the gift of a
local attorney J. M. Bailey. His personal book collection was given to
them in eighteen ninety, but the continued growth of the city and the collection
of more and more books created the need for a permanent library building. Initially,
William and Winona Axtell Lion answered the call and donated the old All Souls
Church at twelfth in Dakota to the city to be used as a library.
However, word reached town that Andrew Carnegie was funding brand new, beautiful library
buildings all around the country. Steel mogul Andrew Carnegie retired from the steel business
after a particularly bloody strike at one of his plants. As a man from
a poor family who had worked his way to the very top, he had
no desire to see people get hurt in their demand for fair wages and better
working conditions, So he left the business world and became a philanthropist, giving
away huge chunks of money to causes that he deemed worthy. Libraries became a
favorite cause for Carnegie, and he would eventually fund the construction, furnishings,
or expansion over over twenty five hundred libraries around the world. So a group
of Sioux Fall citizens, including wh Lion and Josephine Gilden began working to secure
a grant from Carnegie. In the end, he would give thirty thousand dollars
to build the Carnegie Public Library in downtown Sue Falls. The Ladies History Club
and other local organizations would raise thousands more to purchase books and furnish the new
building. It was on this day in Sue Fall's history that the doors were
finally open for all to see. This day in Sue Fall's History has been
brought to you by Sue Falls fundpage dot com and Sunny ninety three point three.

Here's your market beat minute for Thursday July twentieth, brought to you by
Genesis Gooldira dot com. Equity markets advanced Wednesday despite another cooler than a expected
economic report. The housing starts and building permits figure were weaker than expected.
Despite a recent downtick in mortgage rates, the news indicates a slowing within the
housing sector and one that could gain momentum as a year progresses. Mortgage rates
are back in the seven point five percent range for an average thirty year mortgage
and will likely rise given the outlook for the FOMC policy. FOMC meets in
less than a week and they're expected to high rates by another twenty five basis
points. The S and P five hundred continues to rise, but is heading
for a hard ceiling. How it gets is still questionable, but signs are
growing that the top could be closer than many market participants realize. The next
target for solid resistance is at an all time high, which will be reached
soon. At the pace the market is advancing, The all time high could
be reached by the end of the summer. If the market can't move to
a new high, the odds are high that equity markets will remain range bound
for the remainder of the year. You could get the n side track at
