My normal Valentine’s Day includes a sushi feast followed

by a splurge bottle of red with my husband, Tony. This

year will be a little different, though, as we await the

March arrival of our daughter. Like many readers who

took our monthly poll, the most romantic thing right now

would be coming home to a clean house and a dinner I

didn’t have to cook. How times change. Thankfully, I’ve

been lucky enough to find a partner who is just that, and

as issues like fatigue and increasingly-limited reaching

ability close in on me, he has been there to pick up the

slack (and help me off the couch).

While this year marks a decade since Tony and I began our

relationship, I remember all too clearly what it was like to

be single in Sioux Falls. Our city has come a long way in

the past 10 years to attract a vibrant new class of young

professionals, but many still face the same frustrations:

Feeling like the dating pool is too small, fearing they

already know everyone with whom they share common

interests, and knowing that if things go sour, the ex will

pop up around every corner.

The aforementioned sentiments were expressed across

the board by the group of eight 20 and 30-something

singles we gathered at local coworking hub, The Bakery.

And despite the fact that most admit they are looking

for someone to date and eventually marry, each also

expressed their resentment over the “single stigma.” Being

alone doesn’t mean being lonely, and despite the real or

perceived pressure to pair up, our group overwhelmingly

rejected the idea of settling for anything less than

extraordinary. While to many that may seem like an

immature Millennial notion of what love is supposed to be,

I think it’s attainable - simply because I’ve found it myself.

I hope each of you spends Valentine’s Day doing something

that makes you happy. Whether that is canoodling with a

romantic partner, drinks with your best friend, or catching

up on your Netflix list, remember, it’s just a day. On

February 15, the seasonal aisle will switch over to Easter

and we’ll all have a new reason to eat chocolate.

ART MAZE

IT STARTS WITH LAND MANAGEMENT

Many farmers encourage wildlife by putting less productive land into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

Steve Halverson, who farms near Kennebec, S.D., and operates Halverson Hunts, strategically rotates various crops near CRP land to provide year-round habitat for pheasants. “It’s farming the best and conserving the rest,” he said.

USING COVER CROPS TO IMPROVE SUSTAINABILITY

Farmers grow cover crops to protect and enrich the soil. For example, after harvesting a fi eld of corn, a farmer might plant a cover crop, such as turnips, to reduce erosion, add or retain nutrients and improve soil quality.

Halverson uses cover crops as forage for cattle and to improve soil health. “We can grow some of our own nitrogen and reduce the amount of inputs,” he said. “Planting cover crops at a time when the soil normally has nothing on it is very benefi cial to the soil.”

SPONSORED CONTENT

How are farmers in South Dakota using sustainable practices for conservation?

SOIL HEALTH IS THE ANSWER

“In one handful of dirt there are more organisms than there are people on earth,” Halverson said. Practices such as reduced tillage and cover crops help nourish the microorganisms that are so critical to healthy soil.

“Obviously, every farmer wants to leave their farm better than they found it. And soil health is the only way you can do that,” Halverson said. “With soil health, we’re working to put it back to the state it was in before it was farmed.”

Farmers are being challenged to fi nd ways to increase production to feed a quickly-growing world population. Halverson said, “We need to learn how to produce more with less. And it comes back to soil health.”

CU

RE

PR

OF

ILE

S

Except that instead of chronicling the peaks and

valleys of an over-the-top romance, Once shows

that something like raw musical chemistry can

transform into a deep and abiding affection that

joins two souls. In 2007, Once hit the silver screen

as that year’s breakout indie hit - winning an

Oscar for the song “Falling Slowly.” Since, it has

been adapted into a Tony Award-winning play,

and this month, the music-fueled Irish love story

is coming to the Washington Pavilion stage.

Actor Dan Tracy, who plays supporting character

Eamon, believes that fans of the movie will love

the play, but on its own merits. “It doesn’t really

feel like the movie. I think there are a lot of Easter

eggs for the fans of the movie and a lot of the

same songs, but a lot of the songs you might have

heard in the background of the movie come to the

forefront. One song, ‘Gold,’ by Fergus O’Farrell,

is one of the backbone songs - and one of the few

songs that wasn’t written by Glen Hansard and

Marketa Irglova. But that said, I really don’t think

you need to have seen the movie before you see

the show.”

In fact, Tracy says he fell in love with the play long

before he saw the movie. He doesn’t think that

he missed any part of the message by not seeing

the film first. And for an actor whose first love is

music, it is a dream production.

“More so than a regular musical, it is based on

the music. It’s a great musical about music, and

the cast are the musicians playing the music,”

he explained. “I think, especially because we are

all musicians as well, we have even more of an

attachment to the music than normal. A lot of us

have been playing our instruments since we were

5 years-old, and being able to bring that onstage

is a privilege.”

Tracy began taking piano lessons as a kid in

Omaha, picking up guitar and trumpet along the

way. In high school, he and his brother became

interested in the music of their Irish heritage. He

was delighted to find that some of the folk songs

he learned as a teenager surface in Once, bringing

it full circle.

As only his second touring production, Tracy

is eager to get out of New York again to see the

country. And since many of the stops will include

multiple shows, he and his colleagues will have

the chance to truly experience the places they

perform.

Plus, he says,

having that

opportunity as

part of Once is

just icing on the

cake.

“The show is

about heart

and hope and

not giving

up. These are

general things, but they ring true for a lot of

people. Our director likes to say the show is about

a lot of people being stopped. This is about people

becoming unstopped and moving forward with

life.” He continued, “I’m so happy that I’m able to

take this show and this story to so many people

around the country. I think I speak for everyone

when I say that.”

Check out Once at the Washington Pavilion February 27 and 28 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. For more info, visit washingtonpavilion.org or call (605) 367-6000.

GETTING GRAPHIC

Why are graphic novels such a compelling medium?

Shayna Monnens: Graphic novels are visual

storytelling. The story

is presented to you,

but instead of only

focusing on the author’s

words and descriptions,

the reader participates in

the visual element as well. The

reader is presented with the creator’s

image of the characters and setting, and

the reader gets to play along with what the

artist has visually imagined. It’s a fascinating

combination of getting the joy of reading a

novel and the experience of watching a movie.

What is the difference between a graphic novel and a comic book?

SM: Many people have the misconception

that a graphic novel is just a comic book. This

is not the case. They are similar, but are also

very different. A comic book is a serialization

of story panels - snippets of a large over-

arching story line - that may or may not be

in any sequential order. Think of comic strips

like Calvin & Hobbes or Garfield. A story was

told in a range of panels, usually numbering

from three to five. The story is concise, quick,

and tells the reader something in short order.

While the individual stories may be short and

being told in smaller sections, comic book

storylines can last for months or years.

The graphic novel gets to go further. It breaks

out of the number of panels. Authors get to

continue on with the storytelling and keep

the reader engrossed for pages, just as if the

reader was enjoying a novel. There are still

story chapters in graphic novels, and yes,

they can range anywhere from one panel

to hundreds, but it’s one continuous story.

Usually graphic novels are more complex

stories that give the reader more developed

themes, while generally wrapping up the

story within a book or two.

What do you find most interesting about the graphic novel?

SM: One must pay attention

when reading a graphic

novel. The descriptions

are presented to you, but

you have to take the time

to notice the details. People

have the misconception that a

graphic novel is quicker to read

and simpler to digest, but nothing could

be further from the truth. There is so much

depth that can be found in a graphic novel.

Character descriptions, interactions, gestures,

actions are not described for the reader, but

are presented to them in the author/artist’s

terms; that’s an incredibly powerful way to

engage with your audience. This medium

requires talent beyond storytelling. Not only

does the author have to create a compelling

story that will keep the reader involved, but

also has to have the drawing talent to express

emotion and action in a meaningful way.

What do you hope people take away from this show?

Samantha Thompson: We hope that

patrons will gain an appreciation for the

artistic and storytelling talent that goes

into creating a graphic novel, perhaps even

inspiring them to become readers of this

genre. By showcasing local artists who

are engaged in this medium, we hope to

personalize the experience for our residents,

as well as highlight the talent we have in the

Spearfish community.

The Graphic Novel Show runs February 5-26. The opening reception is February 5 from 5-7 p.m. During the reception attendees will have the chance to sketch live models, and BHSU art professor Desy Schoenewies will be on-hand to answer questions.

THIS MONTH, SPEARFISH’S MATTHEWS OPERA HOUSE CELEBRATES THE

GRAPHIC NOVEL WITH A DISPLAY BY FIVE LOCAL ARTISTS. THE WORK WILL

18 // FEBRUARY 2016

SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SEQUEL TO "A DIRTY JOB." IN THAT

STORY, CHARLIE ASHER IS APPOINTED AS A DEATH MERCHANT.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE GRIM REAPER, BUT THERE ARE A BUNCH

OF THEM.

You have to go find people right before they die and collect their soul, but the soul is actually housed in something that was dear to the departed. It could be a necklace. It could be a book.

And all the death merchants have secondhand shops where they sell these objects. When the object sells, the soul gets transferred to the buyer. The universe just sort of makes sure it goes to the right place.

Without giving away the story, as you should obviously read it before Secondhand Souls, let's just say that the forces of darkness rise up and there is a huge fight and a lot of the death merchants are killed.

Fast forward a year, and a lot of new death merchants have been appointed to take over for the ones that died. One such person is

Alphonse Rivera. He was a detective in the first novel who was trying to make sense of all the craziness going on with the battle between good and evil.

When you are appointed a death merchant, you receive this big book with instructions and a calendar. The instructions are very clear that you have to get all the souls that are assigned to you or very bad things will happen. Names will appear on the calendar telling you whose soul you have to get and by what date.

But Rivera doesn't collect any souls.

And strange things start happening. Rivera is visited by a banshee, which is a ghost-like thing that is a harbinger of doom. She's really scary, but she's actually just there to warn Rivera to start doing his job or very bad things will happen.

Rivera also gets a visit from Minty Fresh, a tall, lanky death merchant who always wears a mint-green suit. He knows bad things are coming and has a plan. He wants to get the old gang back together and fight whatever is coming.

The Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal is subject matter that evokes feelings of sorrow, disgust, confusion, regret, anger

- bottom line, it’s one of the most unpleasant news stories to come to light in the past 50 years. Several documentaries have been made about the controversy (most notable is Amy Berg’s penetrating 2006 exposé  Deliver Us From Evil), and each one is a horrific experience, for obvious reasons. Now, director Tom McCarthy examines the scandal with his incredible newsroom drama  Spotlight, which focuses on the grinding efforts by a small team of reporters at The Boston Globe to break the conspiracy story. It’s a movie that has every right to be entirely dour and depressing

- but is not.

It doesn’t deflect or skate around the terrors lived through by the priests’ young victims, and yet it still crackles with

electricity. It’s both powerful and - get this - entertaining. The wound inflicted by the perpetrators and those in the Catholic hierarchy who protected them won’t heal anytime soon, but with Spotlight we’re reminded that, in the spirit of free press and honest reporting, there lies hope for justice.

McCarthy doesn’t present the reporters at the center of his story as paragons of journalistic nobility or even as Bostonian hometown heroes. It’s a more modest, workmanlike procedural that’s as, if not more concerned with its characters’ psyches, ideas and idiosyncrasies as it is with their hard-nosed truth-gathering efforts. Heading up The Globe’s Spotlight investigative department is editor Walter

“Robby” Robinson (Michael Keaton), who’s spent years building unshakeable trust within his small team, Sacha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams), Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo) and Matty Carroll (Brian d’Arcy James).

Their new boss, editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber, in a measured performance that could be his career-best), is slightly cold and semi-robotic in temperament (he and the gregarious Robby share an awkward rapport), but with his arrival he brings Spotlight a mission of utmost importance, motioning them to look deeper into the case of an accused priest. His directive is met with skepticism both by Robby’s team and The Globe’s higher-ups (personified by a  John Slattery, playing the boss’ boss’ boss) due to the

church’s strong presence in the city, but when the team begins gathering details and testimonies, it becomes clear that the church could very well have been covering up child-sexual-abuse scandals on an unimaginable scale for a long, long time.

The film is gripping in the way it follows the team’s cumulative breakthroughs on their path to uncovering the ugly truth about the Catholic Church to the public because it does so on a personal level. We see each of them put their nose to the grindstone as they search for clues high and low. They haul boxes and boxes of old files and articles from The Globe basement to their offices, sifting through everything by hand.

Intricate work is done by McCarthy and co-writer  Josh Singer to ensure the movie can’t be read as a blatant attack on the church. The real villain here is the idea of institutionalized secrecy.  Spotlight  is the best kind of newsroom drama in that it doesn’t get weighed down by meditations on the virtues of old journalism. Instead, it celebrates the people who changed the world with unglamorous, day-to-day, hard work.

RACING EXTINCTION

710

Former National Geographic contributor Louie Psihoyos made a name for himself as a filmmak-er back in 2009 with his Oscar-winning dolphin fishing documentary  The Cove. Psihoyos dives further into the water in his latest film  Rac-ing Extinction, this time focusing on whales, manta rays, and other animals that are near-ing extinction. Using his extensive background in filming wildlife, Psihoyos captures stunning imagery from unique underwater photography and awe-inspiring time lapses to get his message across; mankind is destructive, but also the so-lution. Though the biggest issue with the doc is that it casts too wide of a net around the issues rather than focusing on how to fix them.

Cameron MorewoodRead full review: way2in.de/20i

THE HATEFUL EIGHT

810

A percentage of those who see  The Hateful Eight will be crushed by the weight of unflinch-ing cruelty that man is capable of. But the film, circumventing all expectations, has the audacity to end on a note of coarsely drawn optimism. We’re shown the worst sensibilities of the soul through bloodied eyes, and as the tumult begins to dissipate, it becomes clear that someone’s ha-tred eventually had to be compromised. In a sea of gore with no redemption in sight, a subcon-scious shift in mindset embodies what is per-haps the most vulgar step toward progress ever captured on film.

Ananda DillonRead full review: way2in.de/201

THE BIG SHORT

7.510

Adam McKay’s blended fact-driven drama and absurd-because-it’s-true comedy moves quickly introducing a lot of people and breaking the fourth wall often to explain terminology and provide a high level of self-awareness as charac-ters explain when the film is being truthful and when it’s taking liberties for the sake of movie-making. This candid storytelling builds a level of trust that feels akin to watching a documentary. The roller coaster ride of not being sure when to laugh at the preposterousness and scope of the events unfolding, or when to cry whenever the realization of their truthfulness sinks in, by far makes for one of the most peerless filmgoing ex-periences of the year.

Winding our way up to the home Becky Tomac and shares with boyfriend Rob Cook, our team is already captivated by the picturesque wooded setting outside of Sturgis. Rather than fleeing as we get out of the car in front of the house, a small herd of deer look at us accusingly, clearly perturbed that we invaded their turf. It is immediately apparent that this is a neighborhood for nature lovers.

Becky and Rob greet us at the door, and as we step inside, any expectations one gathers

while walking up the drive are shot out of the water. From the outside, the ranch-style home looks sturdy, but weathered. The inside is like a candy store for the eyes. The kitchen immediately to our left is wide open, with painted white cabinets and many retro, kitschy touches in vibrant primary colors.

“A lot of the pieces I found at thrift stores, like the thermoses. My sister thrift shops, so she finds things and gives them to us. There’s so much stuff we’ve been collecting over the years that we’ve kept,” said Becky, owner of Oh Geez! Design and graphic designer for Legend Suspensions.

Rob, a materials engineer for a vnanotech firm, explains that when they found the house, it was a foreclosure and no one had lived in it for years. The couple saw it as their chance to own a home with a bit of land in their price range. However, it meant that they would have to spend considerable time on updates to the 1977 structure.

In addition to painting the “really bad 70s oak swirl” cabinets a bright white, Rob put in a bamboo floor. The lemon and lime-printed removable wallpaper covering the front of the fridge complements the cadmium yellow-hued door that leads to the garage.

Near the front window is a bistro table, where they like to enjoy their morning coffee. However, just a few feet away is a larger dining table, surrounded by a rainbow of Herman Miller chairs. The open kitchen and dining space was accomplished by knocking down some walls, and sacrificing one of

the original three bedrooms. Having a lot of seating and space in the kitchen area was important for them, says Becky, because when they entertain, everyone gravitates there.

The couple shows us the two remaining bedrooms, the master and a guest room across the hall. Although a bit more muted than the kitchen, both bedrooms have pops of color and pieces of fun, unexpected furniture - like the teal suitcase table in the guest room.

“My friend Jenny Gaaskjolen has Chartreuse Garage. I did some logo design for her and she traded me that piece,” said Becky. “The suitcase, you can even open it. She has it lined with some cute fabric, then she found this table and put the legs on it. She does really cool stuff.”

Back to the kitchen, we descend down a short flight of stairs into the great room, which feels very

“contemporary Black Hills” with large windows overlooking the wooded backyard and a timber-manteled fireplace in a wall of towering stone. A flatscreen TV hangs cord-free over the pellet-burning fireplace - another big project for Rob.

“I’m really proud of the entertainment center, because that used to be the wood chute for the old stove,” he recalled. “I built the box and there’s six outlets with a conduit going out to the garage, then up to the TV so there’s no cords.”

Becky added, “This room is really cozy with the fireplace in the wintertime. You can see snow falling on the deck and trees.”

We pass a low table dotted with more colorful retro pieces, including a pickle-green record player, while descending another short stairway. The home’s lowest level has a

28 // FEBRUARY 2016

decidedly '70s vibe and serves as a storage area, in typical basement fashion. However, it also boasts a working sauna, a feature Rob says is amazing after a day of snowboarding.

The farthest reach of the basement houses one of the home’s most unexpected spaces - a bright, sprawling workspace. The walls are covered with posters, prints, and other bits of art that serve as inspiration for Becky. Her computer sits on a massive metal desk, painted a cheerful turquoise. A wicker 60s egg chair hangs in one corner. A large window overlooks the backyard, with its hammock, cross-cut-paved garden space, and view of Bear Butte.

“In the last house we were in, I was in the laundry room and had about a three-foot by four-foot desk area, so this is huge. I love it,” said Becky, admitting that the one drawback is that such a stunning view can be distracting.

“I spend a lot of time looking out the window when I’m supposed to be working on projects.”Throughout Rob and Becky’s two-and-a-half years in their house, they have focused their energy and resources largely on making the inside work for them. Their next interior project will be the main floor bathroom, which is functional, but dated. Then, they will turn their attention to exterior updates. Although the project has been a big one, it has allowed the couple to truly make the home theirs.

“We saw the view and the price on the house,” said Rob, gesturing to Bear Butte through a break in the pine trees. “We knew we could do the updates that we wanted ourselves - and that the view wasn’t ever going to be changing.”

BY NATALIE SLIETER

SHOW MINGLES LOCAL STUDENTS WITH CELEBRITY DESIGNERS

30 // FEBRUARY 2016

South Dakota seems to be best known to those outside of the state for its agriculture and snow. Some, even living inside its borders, may be surprised to learn that we have our own fashion design and interior design school in Sioux Falls. The Institute of Design and Technology of South Dakota (IDTSD) gives students vocational training for these design fields.

To showcase its students’ work, the school is hosting the annual Form and Fashion Meets Function fashion show on February 19 at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown.

IDTSD creative director Anita Kealey says the event is for students to show off their portfolios and final projects that they have been working on for several months. Some students have been working on these projects since last summer, Kealey explained.

As in years past, this event brings big names to the area from the fashion world. This year, Korto Momolu is the special guest designer for the event. Momolu was the first runner up on the television show, Project Runway. Another big-name designer for the show is Jonathan Adler, who provided textiles for the students to choose from for their projects.

A silent auction will begin at 6 p.m. with all money raised going towards scholarships for IDTSD and funding for summer boot camps in interior design and fashion design. The fashion show will start at 7:30 p.m.

HOW CAN WE BRING ATTENTION TO TEXTILES AND FASHION INTERIOR DESIGN?

Students will be presenting design boards and other projects. According to Kealey, the runway show was conceived as a way to bring the fashion design students and interior design students together.

“I’d come up with this concept, ‘How can we bring attention to textiles and fashion interior design?’ Because they are so related,” she said. “Who inspires who?”

Kealey, who founded IDTSD in 2009, says fashion design students work with interior design students to collaborate for the fashion show. The groups of two students work on two garments (the fashion), and two pieces of old furniture (the form).

“They have to have that experience to find some old chair that needs to be restyled, recovered, redone, repainted, restuffed with stuffing,” said Kealey. “We have students that find their own personal style.”

The interior design student picks a fabric to upholster the furniture and then the fashion design student uses the leftover material to create a garment. Students then reverse roles so the fashion student chooses the fabric for the second garment and the interior student uses the leftover fabric for the form, many of which are old chairs made new.

“The challenge of it is it teaches you to learn to work with somebody else’s vision,” said Kealey. “Form plus fashion in function is all about learning to collaborate. There is so much relationship between the two. It’s all about being supportive to each other and learning from each other.”

Doors open at 6 p.m. on February 19. Tickets range from $25 to $75 with 50 percent of ticket sales benefiting the Junior League, an organization that brings awareness to human trafficking. Volunteers from the organization will be assisting at the event as well.

$75 tickets include seats on the runway, goody bags to take home, and the chance to meet designer Momolu. Tickets for $50 offer second row seats and goody bags. $25 tickets get attendees general seating.

SINGLE IN SOUTH DAKOTA

BY DENISE DEPAOLOELIZABETH LUCILLE PHOTOGRAPHY

South Dakota cities are constantly making it onto lists of best places to live,

best places to do business, and best places to retire - but are they the best places

to find love? We gathered a group of eight unattached young professionals for

some perspective.

Lauren Forsch moved back to Sioux Falls a couple years ago after a stint in Rapid

City. As a career-focused person, her romantic experiences West River were largely

within her own social circle of busy professionals. She refers to it as “dating out

of convenience.” And although Forsch says the pool is a bit bigger in Sioux Falls,

where she works as director of fundraising and corporate events for The American

Heart Association, that doesn’t make finding someone any easier.

“I received this advice a little while

back: ‘More than likely, your significant

other, you’re going to meet them out

doing something. You’re not going to

meet them at home, so put yourself in

a place where you would want to meet

that person. If you’re always at a bar,

you’re going to meet someone who

is always at a bar.’ I thought that was

interesting,” she recalled. “And when

I moved back to Sioux Falls, I started

doing a lot more things for me, for my

interests - whether that be history

club or different organizations around

the symphony. Those aren’t things

people my age would necessarily

be interested in. That’s one of the

reasons I joined The Bakery, too,

to be surrounded by other young

professionals, other like-minded,

entrepreneurial-spirited type people.”

The Bakery, a coworking space

located just north of downtown

Sioux Falls, has more than 300

members, many of whom are single

professionals in their 20s and 30s.

Bakery co-founder Brian Rand has had

experience in both the Los Angeles

and Sioux Falls dating scenes which,

he explains, are completely different

animals. While getting married in

your 20s is common in South Dakota,

he says even being in a serious

relationship at that stage was

considered weird on the West Coast.

“If you’re single and you’re 30, people

are asking what’s wrong with you

here,” he laughed.

Another big difference, Rand notices,

is the attitude toward online dating

in South Dakota versus states

with larger populations. “Here, I

think dating sites are looked down

WE PULLED THE GROUP OF EIGHT TOGETHER FOR A FRANK ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION, AND HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY…

QUESTION: WHAT IS CHALLENGING ABOUT MEETING PEOPLE TO DATE IN SIOUX FALLS?

• “If you’re at the bar, the hardest part is one of the first questions isn’t, ‘Are you also single?’ It can be hard to identify who’s single.”

“Should they have a scarlet letter? I think the Nazis tried that.”

“It would be easier.”

• “I love my church, I love my pastor, and I’ve tried reaching out to other people there, but they’re like “you can come hang out with me and my husband. I’m like no thanks.” I’ve actually thought about switching churches so I could have a better chance of meeting someone.”

• “I work with a bunch of married women who all have children.”

• “I’m in my 30s, but I only get hit on by 24-year-olds and 50-year-olds.”

WHERE CAN YOU MEET OTHER SINGLE PEOPLE?

• “I think the best possible place to find someone is your social circle or friends of your friends. The social network you have is the place to meet someone.”

• “The Bakery is full of aspiring people, and at least you have that in common.”

• “The ultimate for me would be to meet someone at church. We have a few young, active churches in town. The same people might be at the bar on the weekend, but I’d rather meet them in the scenario of church.”

• “My parents met working at Yellowstone National Park. They’re one of countless stories of people meeting there. You’re in this place with all of these people who you know you have something in common with. So I’d rather meet someone with similar interests as me; I’m trying to be conscious of where I am.”

• “For me, I love jazz, so I may make an effort to go to Icon’s jazz night. A lot of people there, especially the ones sitting in the seats, will also have an interest in jazz. Will I go up and talk to them if they’re in a group, though? Probably not.”

CAN LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WORK?

• “I dated a guy from Minneapolis. Great guy, but he worked nonstop. I’d drive back and forth from Minneapolis after a long day at work, and it just got to be way too much.”

• “Maybe for one year. Your paths are parallel, but at one year, if you don’t know where it will intersect, what is the relationship to either of you?”

“I think a year would be too long.”

• “I think it’s really hard to have a long distance relationship. Even a month of long distance is too much. If you can’t see the other person every day, you cannot know the real person.”

• “I think the length thing is dependent on the relationship - who that person is and how it goes. I like to be like, ‘Hey babe. What are you doing? Let’s go do this.’ I want to hang out.”

DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE APPROACHING PEOPLE YOU’RE INTERESTED IN AT SINGLES OR NETWORKING EVENTS? IS IT PLAIN HUMAN NATURE TO FEEL AWKWARD?

• “I think it’s human nature. At the same time, if you can give people a reason, no matter how dumb or simple to go up to other people, they’ll do it. People in the Midwest are very amicable and friendly in general.”

• “Everybody has social anxiety at events. Even the higher-up executives will stick with their good ol’ boys, and nonprofits will stay with nonprofits. That exists in bigger cities, too, which is how it’s human. There’s a perception that if people are in groups they think they’re better than you, but that’s not the case at all. They just need someone to start interacting and having a good time to crack it.”

• “Walking into a group to talk to a girl is interesting, because you don't know if she has a boyfriend in the group or if they’re going to start talking about you the second you walk away.”

“I always give guys props for coming over, because that’s a scary thing.”

• “If I thought I might have something in common, I might, but I don’t think I’d approach someone just because I like the way they look sitting across the bar.”

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR BEST DATE IDEAS?

• “One of the best ones I ever did was a hot air balloon ride. That was a third date, though.”

• “I’m not necessarily impressed by these big, flashy, creative ideas. It really comes down to chemistry, so just somewhere that you can talk.”

on or shunned, where in big cities,

everyone’s on them because you

could be in one town and someone

else lives four miles away, but there’s

three million people between you, so

you’ll never meet. Here, if you live in

Brandon and someone else lives in Tea,

you’ll most likely have met at Icon or

Wiley’s - at least you’ll have seen that

person. There seems to be a stigma

about it in the Midwest, but in bigger

cities it just seems like a norm.”

The connections formed by social

media can be both a blessing

and curse for singles in smaller

communities, as well. Thadeus Giedd,

The Bakery’s operations coordinator,

recently got out of a long-term

relationship. As a native of nearby

Crooks, he says starting from scratch

with anyone in Sioux Falls can be a

huge challenge. “If there’s a person

you just met, you find out you know

30 of the same people on Facebook.

It’s kind of small town, everybody

knows everybody.”

Many of the singles we spoke with

feel increasingly isolated as they

watch people around them pair off,

and invariably awkward as relatives

and older acquaintances attempt to

set them up. On the flipside, none

said that their single status - however

longterm - has led them to lower their

expectations. If anything, it has helped

them understand more clearly what

they want.

“I’m almost in the stage where I don’t

want to put in time and effort for just

something,” said Forsch, who is 27

years-old. “The person I feel I’ll have

a connection with and share values -

faith values or family values - that is

• “The Bonus Round or the arcade at West Mall 7.”

• “Kayaking has been great, because you have nothing to do for a couple hours but talk to each other.”

• “Shooting guns is always fun.”

• “The road trip to Minneapolis is perfect. It’s close enough so you can tell in a weekend if it’s bad. You can usually tell by Worthington. If you only have one or two things in common, you’re going to know by then.”

• “I try to find something I love to do outdoors. Camping or hiking in a scenic area is the best way to get to know somebody.”

• “A mentor of mine says to run errands with someone. I watch the whole time and see how they treat the people at the checkout and the people serving us. If she’s smiling at people and saying hi and engaging in conversation, great. If there’s any bit of attitude that says she thinks she’s above those who are serving us, that leads to my biggest turnoff - disrespectful behavior publicly.”

According to 2013 data from the

U.S. Census bureau, the average

South Dakota woman gets married at

25.6 years-old and the average man

ties the knot at 27. Although South

Dakotans rank among the youngest

to get married nationally, people

in Washington D.C., which has the

highest median age for first marriages,

aren’t walking down the aisle that

much later - men at 30.6 years-old and

women at 29.8.

At 25, Giedd says just two of his close

friends are married, and he personally

doesn’t feel any pressure to find a

serious relationship. “As a generation,

we’re getting married a little later,” he

observed. “I don’t like dating. I like

to get to know someone on a casual

basis. I don’t like the interview aspect.”

Rand says at 31 he’s ready to

settle down, but not to settle. And,

he remains optimistic about his

prospects. “I desire to have a family

and kids. I’m at that place in my life.

Do I think she’s in Sioux Falls? I don't

know. I hope she is.”•

40 // FEBRUARY 2016

Since Acoustic shuttered in 2014, fans of Dirty Fries and the Surf and Turf Caesar Salad have been left adrift, waiting for the next venture by restaurateur Tony Kellar to come to fruition and for their favorites to resurface alongside him. Well, after several teases and false starts, it’s finally happened. In mid-January Camino Grill and Bar opened its doors in Yankton.

We stopped in for lunch on the restaurant’s second day of business. Since Camino is attached to the Yankton Bowl Family Fun Center, one is immediately hit with the nostalgic scent of bowling alley when opening the shared exterior door. However, upon entering the interior door that leads to the restaurant, the smells are all food and fresh finishes.

Looking every bit its two days old, Camino’s terracotta and grey paint scheme was unmarred by wear or ornamentation, save a few large flat screen TVs and a couple of framed art pieces. As we were led to our booth near the center of the room, we passed a lone wine rack near a stark, but stocked, bar area.

Before our server stopped by for drink orders, we had just enough time to decide on the Dirty Harry Fries to share. These are Kellar’s classic parmesan and herb-seasoned fries topped with chili, cheese, sour cream, and a fried egg.

When she returned with our waters a few minutes later, we’d come to the consensus that the Bacon Wrapped Poppers sounded too good to pass up, so we ordered those along with an Asian Chicken Wrap to share.

Less than 10 minutes later, all of our food arrived, creating a veritable smorgasbord. First, I dug into the Dirty Harry Fries, which upon arrival were crispy and topped with a hearty portion of toppings. The chili, I was delighted to find, was made with shredded beef, rather than ground. While there’s nothing wrong with ground, the shredded created a much more melt-in-your-mouth texture. The semi-runny yolk of the fried egg added richness to the composition, while the ad-dition of sriracha to the sour cream drizzled on top added a bit of heat and complexity.

Next, we started in on the Bacon Wrapped Poppers, which were plated prettily atop a zig-zaggy pattern of sweet barbecue sauce. The bacon was meaty and perfectly-cooked. I learned quickly to eat the smaller pieces in one bite, or to be ready for some of the cream cheese mixture to escape out the back. According to the menu, the appetizer should have been served with a side of ranch dressing. And, while it would have come in handy on a couple of the hotter peppers, I didn’t miss it.

Lastly, I tried my half of the Asian Chicken Wrap, which had been rec-ommended by a friend who has fond memories of the dish at Utopia (another previous restaurant managed by Kellar). Served in a spinach tortilla, the wrap was comprised of a hearty portion of fried chicken, crunchy lettuce, red cabbage, red onion, egg, and tomato, with a bit of cilantro and Thai chili sauce. Honestly, I was expecting more boldness in the flavors, considering the ingredients, but there was subtle harmony at work. I didn’t get much onion or cabbage in my half, although I loved the addition of fluffy scrambled egg, which I’d never had in a wrap outside of a designated breakfast burrito. The cilantro and lettuce brought a really nice freshness, and the chili sauce tied it all together without weighing it down.

During the meal, we were told to save room for Funnelcake Fries, but there was none and we ended up taking half of what we ordered home for later snacking. And yes, the remaining poppers made a perfect midnight treat.

Bottom line: This is not your typical bowling alley food. Camino show-cases quality ingredients and boasts a diverse menu.

“I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it, the sizzling sound is so appetizing, the aroma is maddening, the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.” — Alexandra Guarnaschelli

Our server was attentive and friendly. It would have been nice to stagger the food a bit since we ordered the fries first, but this was no great sin.

There was no reinvention of the wheel at work here. However, they did man-age to elevate what would have other-wise been good bar fare with creative, gourmet flourishes.

[ I T ’ S THE FACTS ]

• Chef Tony Kellar has teamed up with fellow Yankton native Chef Andrew Duimstra to open Camino.

• Camino is located in the old Kochi Hotel, which has a long and colorful history; once known as the “Honeymoon Destination of the Dakotas."

• According to Kellar, Camino strives to bring fresh, bold flavors to Yankton.

• Kellar says Yankton is ready for a place like Camino, "All our friends and neighbors constantly remark about how Yankton needs more dining options that are full service and ‘not a chain.' The Chamber of Commerce just released a report saying that a full service restaurant is perceived to be one of Yankton's biggest current needs."

GETTING SWEET ON LOCAL ART BY JORDAN SMITH

Young and aspiring artists (as well as established

artists) know that supplies and classes come

with a price tag. Sioux Falls nonprofit JAM Art & Supplies makes it their mission to deliver

these necessitates at an affordable price, as well

as offer a sense of community for area artists.

To help them achieve this goal and to show the

community just how creative (and delicious)

Sioux Falls can be, it is hosting the second

annual JAM Art & Supplies Sweet Art Show

this month.

According to co-founder and executive director Jess Miller, JAM has four pillars:

store, classroom, website and projects. “We

function as an art and craft supply thrift store,

classroom, and hub for creatives. All of our

merchandise is donated to us, which allows for

us to sell supplies at an incredibly reasonable

price, similar to thrift stores such as Goodwill

or Savers. This also allows us to offer local

nonprofits, teachers, and students 25 percent off

of every purchase.”

JAM began collecting donations before it had

even opened, but when the nonprofit moved into

its first storefront at 6th and Phillips Avenue

in downtown Sioux Falls in December 2014, it

quickly became obvious that more space was

needed. By April 2015, JAM expanded into a

much larger space within the same building,

roughly 10-times the size of the previous store.

Last year, JAM used profits from the Sweet Art

Show to offer one Creative Reuse Day Camp

for 8 to 13-year-olds in the summer. The camp

taught kids what creative reuse is and introduced

them to installation art. With money raised

from this year’s event, the organization hopes

to give more children the opportunity to use

their imaginations and practice creative problem

solving. Besides wanting to bring four creative

reuse camps to Sioux Falls in 2016, JAM would

like to continue to offer free art clubs for middle

and high schoolers, send its staff to learn a

curriculum called “Visual Thinking Strategies,”

sustain and improve its website, and offer

drawing classes for all ages this spring.

“Just learning how to draw can teach the

importance of all of our different perspectives

and improves brain health,” said Miller.

The Sweet Art Show is unique for many reasons,

but three especially stand out for Miller. The

artists that will be showing their work at

this event are all local artists that have been

interviewed this year as a part of cofounder Amy

Jarding’s “Inspired Interview” series on the JAM

website blog. Second, instead of serving normal

finger food on trays, there will be gourmet sweet

treats, hence the event name. One treat served

last year was homemade ice cream sandwiches

that were delicious, but sadly melted all over.

This year, delicious, but less messy, hors

d’oeuvres will be featured. Lastly, besides having

singer Elizabeth Hunstead as entertainment,

JAM has a surprise that Sioux Falls will not

want to miss.

“It's so hard for me to keep a secret, but we want

to give you all a taste of how much fun JAM

really is,” said Miller. “Last year we had a surprise

drum line from Washington High School; this

year we’re going even bigger.”

The second annual Sweet Art Show will be held February 12 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Icon Lounge Event Hall in Sioux Falls. There will be a freewill suggested donation of $10 at the door, art on the walls for purchase, the presentation of an artist advocacy award, live music, raffle prizes, sweet treats, and a make-and-take table for Valentines.

increasing accessibility to service dogs in South Dakota. I wouldn't be living independently if it wasn't for my service dog. I also plan to make public places more accessible for people with disabilities. A lot of businesses follow ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) policies, but I can't even open the door to get inside. What a major difference it would make for me if they would do something as simple as install a doorbell. Growing up in a town of less than 2,000 people, my parents always had to push for what I needed. It was a constant struggle until I graduated. My high school wanted me to accept my diploma on the ground while everyone else accepted theirs on stage. I felt like I was the only person with a disability, because I was. I want to change that.

How has your service dog changed your life?

He picks something up when I drop it, helps me put my laundry into the washer and dryer, and uses a rope to open the fridge door for me. I couldn't do any of those things without a service dog. If I fall, he'll go get help, or he'll start barking until someone comes to check on me. It took two-and-a-half years to get him fully trained, and that came with a big price tag. I'm a big advocate for service dogs, and I want to make others aware it's possible to afford one.

What advice can you share with others?

KE: I hope that others

remember to think of the person first, and the disability second. I'm not just 'the girl in the wheelchair.' There's so much more to me than that. If you see anyone with a disability, don't assume that they need help. We try to be as independent as possible; if we want help we'll ask for it. It's also very important to know how to treat a service dog. When they're out in public, you can't interact with them. They could get distracted on the job - when Huxley is home and his jacket is off, he's treated like a normal dog. When he's out in public and wearing his jacket, he knows he needs to be paying attention to everything I'm doing.

What change do you feel the Ms. Wheelchair SD Pageant is making?

KE: The pageant is an amazing opportunity. It's allowing people who have disabilities to express what they need and share what others can do to help. I feel that it's not the fact that people don't want to help someone with a disability, they just don't know how. The pageant opens doors for opportunities to advocate. My whole reason for participating in the pageant was to help other people understand what people with disabilities go through and the struggles we face. If I could just get five businesses to install doorbells, I would be the happiest person in the world, because I made that difference.

48 // FEBRUARY 2016

BY TRACY KIRBY. IMAGES BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY.

Since it’s February. And since it’s negative

four degrees out. It’s only right. Let’s talk

about romance.

I’m still in what I like to call the Christmas

hangover. In fact, my Christmas tree is still up at

the time of this writing. (Judge not, dear reader!)

But as I’ve been meandering through stores

lately, I’ve noticed the sudden bombardment of

“romantic” gifts for sale. Thus, I’ve been trying to

settle my mind on this concept.

Really, what is romance?

On first pass, you might think romance is simply

things related to, for lack of a better term, sexy

love. Sultry dates, jazzy music, velvet curtains,

candlelight, roses, wooing, kissing in the

rain…the works. This seems to fit one of many

dictionary meanings that describes romance as

“a feeling of excitement and mystery associated

with love.” Ooh, love and mystery. Who doesn’t

love that combo? But then, there is another

definition of romance. One that describes

romance as “wild exaggeration or picturesque

falsehood,” which also sounds about right (we

are looking at you, ABC’s The Bachelor)!

Looking at my own life, however, romance has

been one of those things that doesn’t quite fit

any definition and is one that continues to shift

over time.

When I was a young schoolgirl, I suppose the

height of romance involved my childhood crush

writing his name on my book cover. Swoon. As a

college coed, ring-by-spring herd mentality left

all of us in a perpetual state of romantic fantasy.

Post-college, romance was defined by long dates

over wine and philosophical talks. And finally,

today, married with two children, romance reads

like a far cry from the stuff of romance novels.

Nowadays, a simple coffee date with just the two

of us is like winning the romance lottery.

To further illustrate, I want to share a humbling

story. It’s a very glamourous story, really.

Something very sexy. Don’t be scared. Here it

goes:

HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. YOU READ THAT RIGHT. HAND. FOOT. AND MOUTH. DISEASE.

First, let me clarify. There is actually nothing,

and I mean nothing, sexy about hand foot and

mouth disease. In fact, it is the very opposite.

Those of you that have come in contact with

this highly contagious virus know it is awful. So,

what does this have to do with romance? Well,

everything.

My 4 month old picked up the virus when we

took the children in for a routine check-up at

the doctor’s office several months ago. I was

heartbroken for my baby. Then, in the midst

of scrubbing down the house with commercial-

grade bleach, I noticed my hands started burning

and it hurt to walk on my feet. I suddenly had

a fever and I felt like I had been run over by a

motorcade. I looked at my husband. “The doctor

said adults don’t usually get it, right?” I asked

with deep fear in my eyes.

It pains me to admit this, world, because, first of

all, gross. And second, because I pride myself on

cleanliness and health. But, sure enough, I had

contracted the virus and apparently it's 10 times

worse in adults. Thank you very much, pediatric

doctor office germs.

I called the doctor and she nonchalantly stated

there was nothing for us to do except ride it

out...for 14 days. Luckily, we didn’t get the

sores that usually come with the lovely virus,

but we were contagious for two weeks. Two

weeks of quarantine.

But it was during that time I encountered

the most unlikely romantic gesture from my

husband: Service. He waited on us hand and

foot (pun intended). While I was in a puddle of

pain, he cleaned. He organized. His mother and

father appeared like angels presenting warm

meals. He woke with the children and put them

back to bed in the middle of the night. All of this,

for days. And when I felt the worst I had ever

felt, he looked at me and said, “Wow! You look so

amazing!” And somehow, that crazy man, I know

he meant it.

While the true definition seems elusive, that

couple of weeks of hand foot and mouth misery

was, to me, true romance defined. Forget the

chocolate, the creepy teddy bears, the jewelry,

the long-stem roses, and everything else our

stores tell us we need. The real mystery of

romance exists in the loving care of each other at

not only our best, but our darkest moments.

YES, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS ARE NAMED JOHN. YES, IT WAS A POPULAR NAME IN THE ‘80S.

THE IDENTITY OF THESE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. HAVE

A QUESTION FOR THE JOHNS? SHOOT AN E-MAIL THEIR WAY AT [email protected].

What is the Valentine's protocol for someone you've only been dating for a few weeks? Are gifts necessary, or is taking them out for a nice dinner enough?

JR: Last year I sent a girl I matched with on Tinder a dozen roses, Magic the Gathering, and photoshopped pictures of what our babies would look like. This is my only Valentine experience since the elementary school Valentine's Day shoe box. I assume protocol is somewhere between the two.

JW: In the immortal words of our country's favorite First Lady Nancy Reagan, “just say no.” Wait until you're at that year mark to underwhelm someone on Valentine's Day. Hold on one second. I hear the doorbell, brb... Who's there? Hallmark Secret Police who? Oh...oh, I understand. Yes, I'll get on that immediately. I'm back, and I've changed my mind. Do all of the Valentines, all of them. Cards are the way to a person's heart. All hail Hallmark!

JT: If a nice dinner and a card isn’t enough for someone, particularly at the start of a relationship, they’re probably not the person you want to be with anyway. You are likely still getting to know them without the added pressure of manufactured romantic expectations. Keep it mellow and find out whether this is someone you mesh with. If so, surprise them with with a big gesture when they’re not expecting it, not before you’re ready.

My parents have been married for 30 years and still act like lovey-dovey teenagers. They are firm believers that soulmates exist and that I should be actively searching for mine. I have a great job, apartment, and dog. I don't feel like anything is missing. How can I get it across that, while I'm happy for their happiness, not everyone needs someone to complete them?

JR: If I know one thing, it's parents just don't understand. That's why from "move out," "get a job" to "I'm not paying the pizza man," I just let it go in one ear and out the other.

JW: You fool! You can't possibly be happy having no strings, nagging, kids or responsibilities! You'll be so sad having relations with a constant rotating stable of hot coeds, never getting to experience the true crazies of a long term co-dependent relationship. You fool!

JT: Calmly explain to your parents that you’re not against finding love, but because you have such amazing role models, you know that you don’t have to settle. Hold fast and don’t compromise. If you’re truly as content as you say you are, wait for someone who will enhance your happiness.

I do not want to spend another Valentine's Day alone, drinking wine, and binge-eating chocolate in front of the TV. Any ideas for avoiding this scenario, without having to frantically search for a date?

JR: Book yourself a table for one at a nice restaurant, but order and drink for two. After you've had enough, you go home and take some time to get to know and love yourself. You deserve it.

JW: What's your number?

JT: Invite a few friends over to drink wine and binge-eat chocolate with you - then it’s called a “tasting” and will be considered a classy affair.

There are over 2,500 online dating sites in the United States alone. Yet, around 1,000 new dating sites open every year (only about one percent succeed), according to Online Dating Magazine. In 2013, Buzzfeed compiled a list of ridiculous names of real online dating sites. Some included “Ugly Schmucks,” “Equestrian Cupid,” “Salad Match,” “Purrsonals,” “STDMatch,” and “TallFriends.”

2,500

People live in the town of Loveland, Okla. There are several towns in the United States whose names are related to love and romance. They are Valentine, Neb. and Texas; Darling, Miss.; Romance, Ark.; Love Valley, N.C.; South Heart, N.D.; Lovejoy, Ga.; Romeo and Rose City, Mich., and Loving, N.M..

Is the percentage of Americans who say they celebrate Valentine’s Day. The day was not always associated with love, however. It was originally suppose to honor Saint Valentine, a well-known Roman saint during the 200-300s, and it wasn’t until the 1300s that it became linked with love. Today, Americans typically spend $448 million dollars the week before Valentine’s Day.

Heart-shaped candy boxes are sold in the United States during this month. Fifty-eight million pounds of chocolate and 150 million Valentine’s Day cards are also purchased in February, according to history.com. Women say they spend approximately $74 on their loved one while men say they spend about $150.

8 HEALTH BENEFITS OF

KISSINGBY LIZA MCCANN

THEY’RE THE CLASSIC SIGN OF AFFECTION. THEY CAN MAKE US GIDDY. A FIRST ONE CAN MAKE US BLUSH.

BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HORMONES RELEASED WHILE KISSING CAN BENEFIT OUR HEALTH? HERE’S

HOW, ACCORDING TO ANDREA DEMIRJIAN, AUTHOR OF "KISSING: EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO

KNOW ABOUT ONE OF LIFE’S SWEETEST PLEASURES."

1. KISSING HELPS REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE. By getting the heart pumping, kissing helps dilate blood vessels, which gets blood flowing in an even fashion to our vital organs.

2. KISSING ZAPS CRAMPS AND HEADACHES. The aforementioned blood vessel dilation can help relieve aches and pains.

3. KISSING FIGHTS CAVITIES. By creating more saliva, kissing can help wash away trouble-causing plaque.

4. KISSING AMPS UP YOUR HAPPY HORMONES. Smooching helps get feel-good chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin circulating in the brain.

5. KISSING BURNS (A FEW) CALORIES. A passionate lip lock can burn 8 to 16 calories.

6. KISSING BOOSTS SELF-ESTEEM. A German study found that those who get a kiss on the way out the door make more money at work. Leaving happy leads to productivity, which leads to both money and an increased sense of well-being.

7. KISSING CAN GIVE YOU A FACELIFT (KIND OF). Can you think of a more pleasant way to exercise your facial muscles?

8. KISSING IS A BAROMETER FOR SEXUAL COMPATIBILITY. Demirjian says if a first kiss leaves you cold, it

could be a sign to move on.

RUNNING IN THE WINTER IN ADDITION TO BUILDING

HELPING TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY

BECKONING US AS STRONGLY RIGHT

NOW AS WHEN SNOW ISN’T COVERING

THE GROUND, THERE’S NO BAD SEASON

TO GET OUT AND RUN. 605 RUNNING

COMPANY GENERAL MANAGER GREG

KOCH EXPLAINS HOW, WITH THE RIGHT

EQUIPMENT, WINTER RUNNING CAN

STILL BE ENJOYABLE.

What is your number one suggestion for dressing for a winter run?

Greg Koch: As the seasons change, you’re going to want to think ‘layers.’ Layers are the most important thing for runners this time of year. It’s really easy to overheat in the wintertime. You’re going to want to be able to shed layers. This way, you can never dress too warm, because you can always take something off.

Should runners be mindful of the fabrics they’re wearing?

GK: Another important thing is to be able to wick moisture away from your body. In severe cold temperatures, if you have something that’s going to trap moisture against your body, it’s going to start to freeze. And that’s where you get into the danger zone.

What about shoes for when we’re dodging the snow and ice?

GK: When most people buy a trainer, they’ll get something that’s great for three

of the seasons, and the winter season can really throw a curveball. What I’ve been telling people lately is, ‘Ice is ice.’ It’s going to be slippery no matter what you’re wearing, but when you’re getting into slush and things, we recommend looking at specific trail shoes that might help. Those will have different layers of tread, some heavier duty lugs, and some multi-directional traction pieces built into them, so you might get more grip running through slush and snow and ice. You might also get shoes that are waterproof. We don’t want those cold feet. And, we also have traction control devices that go over a traditional road shoe.

How often should we replace our shoes?

GK: It varies shoe to shoe and depends on how a shoe is built. A typical rule for us is 300-500 hundred miles or six months. A shoe might look like it’s fine, but it could have compressed and broken down and might not be affording you all of the luxuries of the shoe when you first got it.

What makes your store a good place to come in and ask questions?

GK: All of our staff are experienced runners. We’ve got folks that have run for good health and run collegiately, so all different levels and paces and distances. One of the things we do when fitting shoes is video analysis. We have a treadmill in store where we put you in the shoes. You can run in the shoes to see how they feel and we’ll capture the video and see what happens with your foot strike from shoe to shoe and see what looks more like the shoe for you.

DIY

A handmade teacup candle is a pretty and personalized gift that can also double as a romantic table decoration for your Valentine’s Day dinner.

Teacup CANDLEBY ARYN HOLLAREN

SUPPLIES:

• Teacup (saucer optional)

• 1-2 packages of scented wax cubes

• Wick

• Metal pot

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Find a teacup that you love. The best place to look is at an antique or thrift store.

• Choose a scent that you like in a color that coordinates with your teacup.

• On the stove, slowly melt your wax in a metal pot at a low-medium heat.

• While your wax is melting, place your wick in the center of your teacup. If your wick does not stand up on its own, use a chip clip or clothespin suspended across the cup to hold it upright.

• Once the wax is melted, slowly pour it in your cup, taking care not to submerge the wick.

• Let the wax cool. It will take about 12 hours for it to fully cool all the way through.

• Once the candle has hardened, trim the wick so it is about ½ inch above the wax.
