What do you think of USD’s new logo?

“I don’t really like it. I don’t understand why they need to change their logo so often. I liked the last one and liked all the gear with that logo. It looks an awful lot like the San Diego Padres’ logo.”

-Rebecca Johnson, via Facebook

“The cost of replacing every ‘U.’ with ‘SD’ is going to be incredibly high. In the tough times that we find ourselves in, I feel that it is incredibly irresponsible of the university to undertake this project right now.”

-Brock Schardin, via Facebook

“Nobody likes change. I say give it some time and nobody will care anymore. I think it looks clean and sharp.”

-Valerie Boscaljon Arens, via Facebook

“WAY better than the letter U.” -@SooFooRadioAds

“I like the new logo and find it to be a big improvement over the old one, because it is more recognizable as the University of South Dakota, and it has a more traditional feel to it.”

-Balam Tomlin

beyond BORDERS

with Mark Lloyd

Mark Lloyd gets all the book perks working at Borders. Our perk?

We get the skinny about upcoming books ahead of everyone else.

Citrus County

by John Brandon Florida can be a pretty glamorous place.

There are places in Florida where the sun shines all day. There are places in Florida where beautiful, tanned people walk around on the beach in skimpy bathing suits. There are places in Florida where old men sit around in those Panama hats smoking cigars and talking about “the good old days.” There are places in Florida where the beaches are lined with million-dollar homes.

Citrus County is not that kind of Florida.

Citrus County is on the Gulf Coast. There are a lot of mosquitoes in Citrus County. There are a lot of swamps in Citrus County.

Kids like Toby live in Citrus County. Toby’s parents are gone, and he lives with his uncle Neal, who is probably suicidal and lives on tater tots and soda. Toby is pretty smart, but all he does is make trouble. Toby thinks he’s a pretty bad guy.

Kids like Shelby live there. Shelby’s mother

is gone, and her father has just relocated the family to Citrus County. Shelby has a little sister named Kaley. Shelby is very smart and thinks she is better than the other kids. She probably is.

Teachers like Mr. Hibma teach at the local middle school. Teachers are supposed to lie to kids and tell them how great they can be. Mr Hibma is not that kind of teacher. Mr. Hibma always tells the truth.

But maybe Toby and Shelby can meet. Maybe Toby and Shelby can beat Citrus County. Maybe they can fall in love and leave Citrus County far behind.

If only Toby can pull off something big to get Shelby’s attention, maybe they can be the lucky ones.

If you like plot-driven books, then this book is not for you. This book is driven by its prose and its characters. But if you like well written books, then maybe you should check it out.

What to watch for in September

The Postmortal

by Drew Magary

Ready Player One

by Ernest Cline Imagine a world where we have “cured” aging.

Nobody will ever die of old age anymore. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.

It’s the near future, and the world is a terrible place. Everyone plugs into a virtual world where you can live whatever life you want.

Plus there is some kind of game going on. It’s like “The Matrix” and “Tron” had a baby.

album REVIEW TREY LANE-HERE GOES NOTHING-EP by Manny Fraker Trey Lane is a true artist who is always pushing forward. He prefers to challenge the listener’s ears while caressing their soul with rhythm. Self-production is his game, and he is always rolling. He is a pro, and his beats and mixes flow with an overwhelming thickness in his fifth solo effort, “Here Goes Nothing.”

Trey is smooth and refined, yet his lyrics are anything but laidback. His voice bleeds a vulnerable power that is unmatched.

I asked Trey to describe his process using only three adjectives. He responded, “Calm, entertaining, successful.”

The opening cut/title track will leave you dancing and breathless – it’s a definite mood-setter. The second track, “The Streets is Watching” (featuring DK & V the Noble One), moves with class and aggression, and is also my favorite

cut on this EP because it’s such a beautifully orchestrated mesh that flows. The hard-nosed attitude and beats continue on track three, “King Hustler” (featuring V the Noble and Blitz). “Hard Body” (featuring Glasses Malone Cash Money/ Young Money) finds Trey and G. Malone spewing sick lyrics over a beautifully mystical backbeat, and even from its nursery rhyme-like beginning, you will witness something forceful.

“Ohh,” track seven, lays an ultra oldschool vibe that rolls clocks back to the soulful 70’s. Sonic riffs and hip-shaking grooves fill the final cut, “Don’t Have To Be” (featuring V once again). Trust me, this song made this Latino dance, and I’m sure you won’t be able to resist. Trey Lane is mayor of all things rap in Sioux Falls, and his Flame-On label will soon own this town.

Rating:

Also listening to:

Obscura-Omnivium

The controlled madness spills down like water through a strainer.

(Favorite tracks: “Oceans Gateways” and “Celestial Spheres.”)

Hate Eternal-Phoenix Amongst the Ashes

Cauldron-Burning Fortune

Always a destructive force, this threepiece wrecking ball will challenge your Metal gears.

New school thrash now has its gimmick act, and even though it doesn’t overflow the chalice, it’s still a decent filler.

(Favorite Tracks: “Eternal Ruler” and “Haunting Abound.”)

(Favorite Tracks: “Miss You to Death” and “I Confess.”)

tech blend Google+: the New Facebook?

by Devon Schreiner

In a Facebook world, sometimes it’s hard to imagine anything but that familiar blue bar up at the top of your web browser. On June 28, Google set out to change the minds of the world. Google+ (pronounced Google Plus) is the newest social network of Google and is growing quicker than anyone could imagine.

Google+ has been characterized by some as the “Facebook Killer.” I don’t subscribe to that theory, but I‘m going to give you a couple of good reasons to switch from your favorite social site.

This is what I feel Google+ does better than other social networking websites:

Circles - Facebook and Twitter both have lists to help organize your friends, but neither of them has really taken off. Google+ does an amazing job making circles required to keep your contacts and security settings organized right off the bat.

I think the default Friends, Family, Acquaintances and Following circles are perfect to help organize everyone and really keep track of the people you want to read from.

Posting - Never be worried again as to who is going to be able to read your updates, because Google+ makes it simple. Right between your post and the share button is the list of circles that you’re sharing to. You can add and delete circles, post to just one person, or even post to the general public. Whomever you end up posting to, you know exactly who will be seeing it.

22 | September 2011

Hangouts - Facebook finally released video calling about a week after Google+ was released with Hangouts. While all your Facebook friends will be video chatting one-onone, you will be hanging out with up ten people, all able to use video at the same time. Skype offers group video chat, but they’re still charging for that service as of right now.

No APIs - So far Google has not release an Application Programming Interface for developers to interact with and write programs for.

What does this mean for the average user? No clutter, no games, no quizzes, no spam applications that people keep inviting you to. Some people like them, some people despise them. Hopefully we won’t be seeing Farmville on Google+ for a long, long time.

No mutual friendship obligations - On Facebook, for someone to be your friend, you have to be their friend back, even if you don’t want to read everything they post. Google+ takes a Twitterlike approach to this. Someone can add you to a circle and receive your posts, but that doesn’t mean you need to put them in one of your circles. If you don’t want to read their posts, you don’t have to!

The rest of the Google Applications - By registering for a Google+ account, you are signed up for a Google account, which can be used transparently between all other Google applications including: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Picasa, Google Reader, YouTube and many more. If you aren’t using Google’s applications, you should be.

Right now Google+ is still an invitation-only service, so you have to know someone to get in, but it shouldn’t be too hard. On July 14, 16 days after launch, Google+ announced they had reached 10 million users, and in three weeks they were up to 20 million users. It took both Twitter and Facebook years to achieve those numbers.

Another aspect that some women might want to take advantage of is that there are rumors that the male population on Google+ is much larger than that of females. Some of the numbers say that the number is as high as 85 percent male. Hurry up ladies, it doesn’t get much better than this.

If you would like to read more on Google+ and some tips on how to migrate your Facebook life to Google+, check out my blog, TheTechBlender. com. I have many different technologyrelated posts that you can hopefully find useful and interesting.

profiles IN SOUND Sept. 9 | Doug Benson Orpheum Theater | 8 p.m.

Admission $18 adv/$20 door All ages You first moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. What was it about stand-up that made you want to pursue that instead?

I didn’t do it instead, I did it at the same time. I’m a multi-tasker! I went on acting auditions by day, and did stand-up at night. Took about six years before I got paid to do either.

You’ve been on a handful of TV shows as a regular or guest. Are there any shows that you would still like to be on?

All of them. I love being on TV. [It] doesn’t matter what the format is. I’d be on QVC if they’d have me. I had an equally good time talking smack about celebrities on ‘Best Week Ever,’ doing stand-up on ‘Last Comic Standing,’ hitting on Jennifer Aniston on ‘Friends,’ and hosting my own show, ‘The Benson Interruption.’

Your fourth album, ‘Potty Mouth,’ comes out at the end of the month. Are you excited for it to release?

Yes! Because a DVD of all six episodes of the short-lived ‘Benson Interruption’ will be included with hard copies of the CD. If you go the digital download route, you only get the CD. But do what you gotta do.

Why did you start ‘Doug Loves Movies?’

The idea of hosting a show that I was completely in charge of appealed to me, and podcasting gives you that freedom. I have no one to answer to on ‘Doug Loves Movies.’ I just chat with my guests, who are mostly comedians who are friends of mine, about one of my favorite subjects – movies – and then put it on the internet, unedited and uncensored.

Courtesy Photo 24 | September 2011

On Sept. 9, Doug Benson will bring his comedy to the Sioux Falls Orpheum Theater with openers Graham Elwood and Sioux Falls native Sean Jordan. You may know Benson from his popular appearances on VH1’s “Best Week Ever,” but he has also competed on “Last Comic Standing” and guest starred on “Friends.”

We had the chance to speak with Benson via e-mail.

What interested you in doing ‘Super High Me?’

I wanted to show that a person who smokes weed could be a productive member of society. I think I succeeded!

You seem to be an open advocate of marijuana, and [you] even hosted High Time Magazine’s Stony Awards. Do you ever get backlash from your fans for being part of that?

Never. Or at least none that I can remember. Get it? I smoke pot!

What’s next on your list of things to accomplish?

I want to host ‘Saturday Night Live.’

Please make it happen. Thanks.

The all-ages show starts at 8 p.m. with tickets running $18 in advance and $20 the day of the show. All seats are reserved, and you can pick up your tickets at Ernie November’s 41st Street location, both Last Stop CD Shops, the Arena box office, and all Ticketmaster locations. To read an interview with comedian Sean Jordan, check out www.605magazine.com.

Service is held Saturday nights at 7 pm Sept. 17 | Super Happy Funtime Burlesque Club David | 8 p.m.

Admission $12 adv/$15 door 21+ On Sept. 17, a big, red converted school bus will be pulling into Sioux Falls carrying 17 Michigan actors, singers, musicians and dancers to put on one of the most elaborate and entertaining shows available in town. They call themselves the Super Happy Funtime Burlesque, and feature a “sexy and bawdy musical comedy, a mix of ‘Rocky Horror’ and ‘Saturday Night Live.’” If you have missed them as they crashed through town before, and have heard stories about what others have experienced, you don’t want to miss another chance.

Corey Eno Ruffin, host/songwriter/bandleader/scriptwriter/manager, was able to answer a few questions about the history of the act, and what they plan on bringing to Sioux Falls this time around.

How did SHFB get its start?

We all met at a poetry reading that was happening every Monday night in a seedy coffee house that was a big hangout for homeless people and crack heads. It was an ‘anything goes’ style, open-mic event, and we would do crazy performance art, free jazz, striptease, all sorts of stuff. The most talented and oddball performers were kind of naturally drawn to each other. We banded together and started doing shows.

Did you start it with the idea of eventually touring?

When SHFB started, and I took the leadership role, I had just come off of a solid five years of living on the road, and wanted to get back on it as soon as possible. I didn’t know at the time that SHFB would be the project that would get me there, I just knew that I had to give it my all and hope for the best. After seven years it finally started to pan out.

We’ve played something like 80 shows around the country in the past year. That’s insane for such a big show!

Sitting Down With Ryan Harr

spent coordinating people’s schedules for rehearsals and shows. One percent of what I do is the creative side (songwriting, scripting, etc.) and the other 99 percent is coordinating schedules, booking, marketing, maintaining website and e-mails, photo shoots, merch - all sorts of stuff I really want someone else to do. But in this day and age there doesn’t seem to be too many people out there who know how to do what we’re doing, unless you know of any other 15+ touring productions out there.

What is your motivation to keep bringing this show to different cities?

When you perform six nights a week, things start to get real exciting. We all grow as performers and artists, and the ideas really start to get good. If we were doing this show once a month, like we used to, it’d start getting stale.

Plus, the reactions have blown me away. Pretty much everywhere we go we get a reaction like we do in Sioux Falls (but Sioux Falls is top of the heap; our most awesome audience outside of Michigan), and that’s really encouraging. We thought that, coming from a small Midwest town, we weren’t doing anything special, but we’re learning from the audiences that we’re on to

26 | September 2011

something. Everyone tells me after the show that they’ve never seen anything like SHFB, and that tells me to keep pushing it further.

Are you getting the audience reaction you hope for?

We’re getting exactly the reaction we want. Plus 10 or so prudes always walk out in the first 10 minutes. It’s a burlesque show, folks, not a church social!

What can Sioux Falls expect during this upcoming show?

Our new show is entitled ‘The SexxxWarriorz.’ It’s a two-hour SciFi epic about an all-girl super team blasting through the spaceways and battling the nefarious Lord Zanthor the Chaste, who is on a mission to repress sexuality in all of its forms. He has captured the powerful Vagina Lass, whose vagina is so big and spacious it has the power to transport people between worlds, and no one will stand in his way. The show boasts about an hour and a half of really great original music in the glam style of ‘Rocky Horror’ backing up some sexy SciFi themed dances, so the geeks will like this one especially. We use words and phrases like ‘Reconfigure the emitters on your space suit!’ and ‘Tachyon Pulse.’

If you ask Ryan Harr, “what do you want the world to know about you,” prepare for a long silence. His forehead will tense up, and his hands will run together. Although slow to come, the impending answer will prove both raw and authentic.

“I’m stubborn,” said Harr.

Protagoras suggested man was the measure of all things. Do we really influence the ways of the world? If so, then would we be subject to spiritual and emotional strife if we fell into a void? If we suddenly felt as if things were hopeless and nothing we did ever inspired anything or anyone?

Meet Harr, a Sioux Falls native and full-time musician. Harr is a multi-instrumentalist and founding member of two rock bands: Foley and PowerPlay.

Harr, a musician since childhood when he used to bang on pie tins to compliment his snare drum, is no stranger to this inner conflict.

“It’s why I’m stubborn,” said Harr “I’ve been through too much and [have] seen the bad side of the music business.”

Harr recounted one such experience after coming home from touring the country. The trek was so awful that he said it sucked the life right out of him and made walking through the front door nearly impossible.

“I dropped my duffle bag down and didn’t know what my next plan was,” he said.

And it’s here, at a crossroads of emotion, Ryan Harr clashes in vivid detail.

For Harr, entertaining crowds and writing songs in the shower is commonplace. And even though not every day is a good day, the constant support from his band mates, in both PowerPlay and Foley, helps Harr see a glimmer of hope.

“I have been through so much with those guys and they literally are my brothers,” said Harr. “If anybody knows the real me, it’s them.

And while PowerPlay can be seen almost every weekend throughout the Midwest, it’s Harr’s original material in Foley capturing his heart.

“I want to go the distance with Foley,” said Harr. “I want to hit the road, give it my all and see what happens, because I really want this band to keep going.”

Harr, who will marry his girlfriend in May of 2012, is also an expecting father. To see him when he speaks of this in combination with his music is truly humbling. Inside Harr, a deep fire burns, hungry for the best of both worlds.

“I want nothing more than to provide for my family,” said Harr “I want nothing more than for my daughter to one day be proud of her father.”

Regardless of what the future holds for his music career, Harr’s stubbornness and determination are truly inspiring.

“I don’t know sometimes how I will continue to make a living for my family with music,” said Harr. “All I know is I’m not going to quit.”

What is the measure of man? Perhaps, this is it?

Out roars a lingering conflict between logic and passion. This is Harr’s life at the moment. This is the fine line between pushing on and clinging to the faith that we may see our work with the wonderful conclusion we have dreamed of, or throwing in the towel and getting a “real job.”

“That feeling is hard to explain, and I still have trouble with it,” said Harr. “Lately, it just hasn’t gone away.”

Harr described himself as a rocker, but enjoys everything from bluegrass to hip-hop.

After being laid up following hip and knee surgery, Harr revealed his music career became increasingly difficult.

“I was already having trouble getting ideas to begin with,” said Harr. “Then, after the surgery, I was on so much pain medicine and could not get rested up enough to get the mental energy I needed to write songs.”

Harr feels things are better now following a full recovery, but likens his life as an aspiring musician, filled with constant rehearsal and writing, to running on a treadmill.

“You are still getting into shape, but you are going nowhere it seems,” said Harr. “It is so frustrating to know what you want to do, knowing you have the talent, knowing you have put the time in, yet still not knowing how to get there.”

Harr sometimes cannot even find peace in his own backyard; remembering family reunions where his music ventures made him feel out of place.

“When everyone is asking what you are up to and you say you just bought a new Zildjian for your drum set, people don’t know what to say,” joked Harr. “Usually they just look at me funny.”

So what now for Harr? Just as openly as he tells us he is stubborn, he will acknowledge he isn’t sure.

Such honesty is meant to be respected, yet it’s how Harr responds to his recent discord from his musical pursuit that is really worth admiring.

“It does not matter what happens, and nothing anybody can say will make me quit music,” said Harr. “I can’t imagine my life without it because I love it so much.”

a taste of SARCASM Luciano’s North

with Polly Dean

“No man is lonely eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention.” - Christopher Morley

There are many things Italy is known for: beautiful architecture, amazing art and, of course, the ultimate in comfort food.1 Whether you prefer alfredo or meat “gravy,” penne or manicotti, no one can escape the hold that amazing Italian food has on not only Italians, but the United States as well.

There is no shortage of Italian restaurants, even in a Midwestern city like Sioux Falls. Some of the biggest chains we know of specialize in - you guessed it - Italian comfort food.2 Though next time you’re craving a big plate of delicious pasta, or a delectable pizza pie, I urge you to venture out from Olive Garden, and head to downtown Sioux Falls.

Situated on Phillips Avenue, right on the path to the Falls, you will find the new tenant of the former Food & Fermentation space, Luciano’s North. Based out of Sioux City, Iowa, Luciano’s was voted the #1 Italian Restaurant in all of the Siouxland Area.3 Needless to say, it is a morethan-welcome addition to our booming historic downtown.

Offering an extensive beer and wine selection, the best of the best in Italian comfort food, amazing desserts, perfect location and decor, and an outdoor patio, it seems to have everything a great restaurant needs. But is that all it takes in a city full of competing new restaurants?

Walking into Luciano’s, you immediately feel the warmth that the decor and color palette is supposed to invoke. The exposed brick and aged wood floors set the perfect backdrop for an excellent evening out. There are plush, leather couches in quaint little sitting areas if you’re just lounging and enjoying a drink or two, but I wouldn’t recommend stopping there. Luciano’s has many signature dishes they’re known for, and in addition to those there are a host of other traditional and non-traditional Italian eats.

They offer a full seafood pasta menu, build your own pasta 30 | September 2011

431 N Phillips Ave. Sioux Falls, SD 57104 (605) 274-7626 www.ItalianDiningSiouxCity.com

bowl specials, chicken cooked more ways than you can imagine, steak, specialty pizzas, and the tried and true Italian favorites we have come to love.

The servings are quite large,4 especially considering the fact that almost every entree comes with either soup or a salad on top of it.5 One gripe I do have is that you are supposed to get bread to enjoy as you wait for you meal. Twice I went and didn’t get the bread. I saw other tables with the bread, I heard stories about the bread, but I have yet to actually enjoy the bread.6 Aside from that, the food is divine. Everyone who I have spoken with about their trip to Luciano’s, good or bad, could not find one negative thing to say about the food. The service, on the other hand, needs a wee bit of work. We all understand the quirks of opening a new restaurant, which is why every person I spoke with that had a rough experience knew they would go back.

On one of my visits I went to eat at approximately 8:30 p.m. The restaurant is said to be closing at 10. That is plenty of time, right? An hour and a half for two girls to split a meal, enjoy a glass of pinot, and call it a night. I would think so, but I’m not quite so sure the staff agreed.7 It appeared we might have stumbled into a staff party/meeting, as majority of the servers were sitting at the bar and surrounding tables looking a little disheveled and a little ticked.8 Thinking we were possibly interrupting, we headed out to the lovely patio, only to be stopped and turned back around as the patio was “closed.” We were severely disappointed, as it was finally a bearable night to sit outside. Needless to say, I needed my material for an article, so I braved the awkward, empty restaurant and enjoyed a late supper indoors.9 If you’re a Luciano’s newbie, be wary when looking at the website.10 The official site is constructed for the original Luciano’s in Sioux City, thus a lot of what they offer you can’t get here in Sioux Falls. They don’t have a liquor license, so those wonderful martinis they’re known for... are only known in Sioux City.

The wine cellar? That would be only Sioux City as well.

Specials listed on the site vary, and some of the specials are available here, others are not.11 Maybe a new Sioux Falls Luciano’s website is in the works, maybe not. I think there

should be.

Overall, Luciano’s North is a magnificent restaurant in an even more magnificent location. Everyone who lives in Sioux Falls knows how passionate we are about our downtown, and it shows in our support to each and every business keeping it alive. Luciano’s Italian cuisine is incredible, the ambiance is extraordinary, and the service will improve.

We know it will, and the people of Sioux Falls will be waiting patiently.

Final Grade FOOD 5/5 There is no doubt that Luciano’s North offers up some amazing Italian fare. They have classics like lasagna and manicotti, and new favorites like chicken portabella and lobster bake. Their salad dressings are a surprising twist, and pair deliciously with their house salads you get with your meal. They pair with some interesting sides as well, making each meal unique and unforgettable.

ATMOSPHERE 4 /5 Like I said before, you have the perfect backdrop for a great night out: Candlelight, sitting areas, great views of downtown. I only give a 4 because I was so bummed about the patio. They have such a great outdoor seating area that could really take off as “the place” to hang, but you have to use it! Keep that baby open all night!

SERVICE 4 /5 The servers seem so new and unacquainted with the menu at times. During a busy dinner rush, there seems to be more chaos than calm. It’s still quite new, though, so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt before I make final judgments. I have to add that though they seemed unfamiliar with the menu, they were always smiling and courteous. This is why I know they will only get better.

[1] And now, unfortunately, “Jersey Shore” guidos crashing Florence, fist pumping and infecting one European club at a time.

[2] The Midwest loves us some carbs.

[3] The “Siouxland Area” doesn’t exactly scream Italian cuisine...but hey, the award was worth a mention.

[4] Take half home and enjoy for late night snack…. Or if you’re like me, an hour later.

[5] No add-on prices here. Not to digress, but does anyone get why it costs more in restaurants to substitute salad for potatoes when you order a side? This boggles my mind…

[6] I WANT MY BREAD! [7] I’m sure every server/hostess is cringing right now, but if you wanted to be done at 8:30 p.m., then close at 8:30 p.m.

[8] I was sorry...but not really sorry....why? See previous footnote.

[9] I would think one goal in any new restaurant/bar would be to become the “new hangout.” I am baffled that a restaurant would close their outdoor patio an hour and a half before closing.

[10] And not just because the owner randomly walks out onto the screen and talks to you. Seriously… watch your volume level on your computer.

[11] Like red velvet cake… It’s their special in Sioux City...but not offered here.

Major bum factor for the girl who was craving it…

delish DELIGHTS

Original recipe by Amanda Day of Pomegranate Market

Fall is blowing in, and harvest season is among us. Autumnal flavors are on the mind, and this quinoa salad doesn’t disappoint with its warm hints of cinnamon and smooth, slightly tart apple flavor combined with the nutty undertones of quinoa. This salad is perfect for breakfast (or dessert, or anytime in between). Quinoa made a name for itself last spring because of its many health benefits. The seed is high in complete protein, which happens to contain all essential amino acids (the building blocks of life), making this recipe a healthy, tasty start to the day.

In regards to fall beverages, DePaolo celebrated her favorite season with an Applie Pie Martini to give the flavor of a rich, spiced cider served in a frosted martini glass for a sunny, autumn cocktail hour.

Autumn Quinoa: Ingredients: 1/2 cup red quinoa, rinsed and drained (available in the bulk department at Pomegranate Market) 1/2 cup white quinoa, rinsed and drained (available in the bulk department at Pomegranate Market) 1 medium Granny Smith apple, diced 2 cinnamon sticks (available in the bulk department at Pomegranate Market) 3/4 cup orange juice, with pulp 1 cup water 1/2 cup dried cherries 1/2 cup mandarin oranges Instructions: Combine the quinoa, apples, cinnamon, orange juice and water in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the liquid is absorbed into the quinoa (about 20 minutes).

Stir regularly.

Transfer the cooked quinoa into a bowl and gently stir in the cherries and oranges.

Serve warm, room temperature or cold.

Apple Pie Martini: By: Denise DePaolo • • • •

5 oz. Apple Juice (I like to use Simply Apple) 1 oz. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum 1 Cinnamon Stick A Dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions:

1. Combine ingredients in pot, turn stove to low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Turn off heat and allow liquid to cool. Pour lukewarm liquid into cocktail shaker, fill with ice. Shake furiously.

3. Strain back into pot. Replace ice in shaker and pour liquid back in. Shake furiously. Strain into martini glass and garnish with an apple slice.

Chilling your glasses:

Rinse martini glasses in cold water.

Place a sheet of waxed paper in the freezer. Arrange glasses upside down on waxed paper. They should be ready to go in about 30 minutes.

Of course, feel free to serve this recipe hot as well. It tastes just as good steaming from a mug as it does in a frosty martini glass.

get involved WishBash

by Caitlin Blumer Images courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Dakota.

Outdoor concerts definitely rank high on the list of summer to-dos, but even with summer coming to an end, it does not mean that outdoor concert bashes have to come to a halt.

This month, the Sioux Falls Make-A-Wish Foundation is hosting their first annual WishBash, an outdoor concert that is taking place on Sept. 17 at 8th & Railroad.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation hosts numerous fundraisers every year, but none quite like the MakeA-Wish Bash. This new adventure for the Make-AWish Foundation is something they hope will attract the younger professional crowd; a demographic not yet directly targeted by their fundraising events.

“Our goal as an organization is have another event aimed at young professionals in Sioux falls. Our hope is that this makes young professionals more aware, and inspires them

to become involved or become future donors,� said Paul Krueger, president & CEO of the Sioux Falls Make-A-Wish chapter.

The WishBash all began as an idea from Garret Hansen, the singer and guitarist for The Rude Band. Hansen ap-

34 | September 2011

proached the foundation with the idea in mind to play a concert benefitting the foundation.

From there, the WishBash was born. DNR will open the event, with Allen Goodroad following. The Rude Band will headline, marking the music group’s 20th anniversary.

There are numerous ways to get involved in the Make-AWish Foundation, from volunteering to donating, but this event is focused on creating awareness of the organization, as well as having a good time.

“It is going to be a great outdoor concert, and not in the peak of summer heat! It is a networking opportunity and a learning opportunity to help out with Make-A-Wish,” said Kerry Roling, executive assistant and cochair of the WishBash.

One of the biggest draws of the event is not only the outdoor concert, but the idea in mind that every person in attendance will have a role in granting a child their wish.

“We would like to generate enough money to give one child their wish,” Roling said. Every wish granted to a child costs an average of $7,200; and with the Sioux Falls chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation serving the entire state of South Dakota, the impact is felt all across the state.

“We are really just trying to get the next generation involved,” Krueger said.

The WishBash will take place on Saturday, Sept. 17. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., and DNR will hit the stage at 7, followed by the 20th anniversary of The Rude Band at 9.

Food, beer and games will also be available on site. The cost of the event is $10, and tickets are available at the Make-A-Wish office, all Last Stop CD Shop locations, and at the door the night of the event.

More information can be found at their website at www. southdakota.wish.org.

What’s in a logo?

Images by Jeff Sampson Photography Natalie’s hair and makeup by Platinum Imagination Hair & Makeup

If you have been paying attention to the University of South Dakota, whether it be because you’re staff, student or alumni, or you have simply taken notice, the “U.” has been representing the college for around a decade. If you also have been paying attention, you may already know there is a new logo in town as of Aug. 27, and it has pushed aside the so-called trendy “U.” for good.

38 | September 2011

Welcome the new, traditional “SD”: Same color, totally different appeal. As it goes, the change that will makeover the majority of campus, along with merchandise and athletics, has had a mixed reaction. Some cite that USD changes their logo “too often.” Some believe they are wasting money. Some are celebrating the exit of the “U.” Some think it eerily resembles the San Diego Padres’ logo.

USD director of marketing Bob Fitzpatrick has heard it all, even from university staff.

“There will always be those who don’t like change, or who think they should have more of a say in what happens, or who think they could do a better job, or who just like to complain,” Fitzpatrick said. “One faculty member told me the logo looked like it was designed by a three year old. I suppose someone at [Lawrence & Schiller] may have let their kid take a crack at it, but I doubt it.”

Whether or not people will warm up to it or not, the game plan is to have this look stick around, which is why the

605magazine.com | 39

40 | September 2011

“I think the ‘SD’ is a lot nicer; it’s a lot cleaner.” + Joe Jamison

university brought in the big guns of the design world. USD began working with Lawrence & Schiller in Sioux Falls on the project over the last 6-8 months to create a look that will “never go out of style.”

Account supervisor at L&S Natalie Eisenberg worked with about half a dozen art directors who created hundreds of logo options. For the last three months one room in the advertising agency was dedicated only to this project.

“The walls were just plastered with logo designs,” laughed Eisenberg.

Each week they would get together and go through the fundamentals of the project from the initial meeting with USD: Own South Dakota, timeless in design, and works across the board from athletics to academics.

“We build out what we call a brand triangle so everyone is kind of in agreement of what this brand represents,” Eisenberg said. “Part of the University of South Dakota brand was tradition, but yet a commitment to the future and progress.”

But before any sketching takes place, research must be done.

“Of course I worked with art directors on this project, but on the front end it’s more a strategic process where we work with a client, we do the brand definition, we also do a lot of research of other colleges out there... those whose logo or brand identity is very recognizable and kind of study why it is so,” she said.

Some of the colleges with strong and recognizable logos have a trend Eisenberg noticed: they tend to have them for a long time. She described these logos as having prideful, nostalgic, and classic appeal. Some of the colleges Eisenberg mentioned were Notre Dame, the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.

But what was wrong with the ”U.”?

According to Eisenberg, “It was more of a modern stylization, and it has worked well for the last decade. It really helped the university set themselves apart from others, I think.”

USD brand identity licensing officer Joe Jamison explained, “[The U.] was kind of a trendy mark, and so when

605magazine.com | 41

Love it. Hate it. Embrace it.

Overlook it. Whatever you choose to do, it is admirable how much time and research goes into a look “overhaul,” so to speak. And if all goes to plan, the “SD” might be around for a long time. you have a trendy mark that means you’ll have to change it again because it will become outdated.”

And you could imagine Jamison would be the last person to want the logo change considering he is in charge of approving logos for use on merchandise, across campus, on jerseys, banners – you name it. His main objective is to ensure no one is violating the mark on anything or “destroying” the mark where it is unrecognizable.

“I know, with my position, how integrated the U. logo was, and I just wanted to not change the logo,” he said. “But I think the ‘SD’ is a lot nicer; it’s a lot cleaner.”

That is not to say the trendy U. was not effective. According to Eisenberg the timing was fitting for a new start with all of the changes occurring at the university.

She explained, “It was very unique, but one thing that we analyzed in this process was that [USD] is now on a much bigger stage through Division I athletics, through online coursework that people can take from all over the country, and through the research that we’re doing at the university.”

Division I brought up the fact that USD cannot pull of being “The U” at a national level, considering they are now one of many, to say the least. Jamison

42 | September 2011

said the university wants to be known as “South Dakota” “We wanted to go with something that was more specific to us,” he said.

It could be a little confusing during basketball games, for example, with “USD” when the University of San Diego has already established that moniker in D-I. Fitzpatrick explained, “Given the current playing field, and the desire to plant a flag that will fly for decades to come, we feel that ‘South Dakota’ and ‘SD’ are the marks that will most effectively distinguish us.”

But do not fret; Jamison assures “USD” will still be around on campus.

And if you have been to campus recently, the logo has not been the only thing getting a facelift.

USD manager of media relations Phil Carter said, “Campus is certainly different now than it was a decade ago with new classrooms, labs and buildings for research and medicine, a new home for the business school and new facilities to enhance campus life.”

And those new facilities will have the “SD” logo adorned all over them. But how did they get to “the one?”

Eisenberg and her team went through an extensive variety that gave off all sorts of reactions. “I remember someone saying ‘That feels like a bank’ or, on the other spectrum, more ornate and reminiscent of tattoo or surf design. There was a spectrum of looks, but I think designers need to air that out in order to reign in on what’s really right for the product,” she said.

And when they sifted down to the final five and presented it to a small group of leadership at USD, the final decision just felt right.

“The new design evokes the kind of credible, prideful institution,” said Eisenberg.

Jamison has been hard at work getting everything ready, from the Dome, to a new basketball court, to new helmets, and so much more. “It’s quite a process,” Jamison laughed.

Even Charlie the Coyote has a minor change in his face and his arms. According to Jamison, “Charlie’s been working out a little bit.”

The “brand guardian” really enjoys how “SD” looks on his area of expertise: merchandising. “I think it’s very collegiate. It will be easily producible on whatever goods,” Jamison said.

But he knows not everyone feels that way. “It doesn’t, of course, evoke the same emotion that the ‘U.’ did for a lot of people just because it’s new. I think with the incoming freshmen that is what they’re going to grow up with and love just as much as anyone loved the ‘U.’” Love it. Hate it. Embrace it. Overlook it. Whatever you choose to do, it is admirable how much time and research goes into a look “overhaul,” so to speak.

And if all goes to plan, the “SD” might be around for a long time.

“I do hope that the naysayers adopt it, or warm up to it at least, and understand that it’s a good move. It’s a smart move,” Jamison said. “We’re hoping to spend this money to do this new branding, and then stick with it and not have to do the every three years thing like we’ve been doing.”

Keep an eye out for a campaign starting in the fall that will round out the changes with billboards, TV and online components.

According to Eisenberg, “The thing that’s important when you launch a logo is that it’s not just about the logo; it’s truly what the logo represents.”

So, what’s in a logo? A whole lot.

the scoop Dry Bar

by Caitlin Blumer

Ever wanted to have your hair and makeup done by a professional? Or ever wondered how to create the perfect smoky eye? Following a trend that has started on both the East and West Coast, Southeastern Hair Design & Day Spa has created the perfect option for you. This unique and fun addition to the salon and day spa is called the Dry Bar, a place to give even more self-pampering.

BEFORE

AFTER “We just never had a station just for styling,” said owner and stylist at Southeastern Hair Design & Day Spa Eileen Donley. “It is more of a pampering for yourself.”

Southeastern Hair Design & Day Spa recently opened the Dry Bar for the public. What exactly is a “dry bar,” you may ask? Donley describes it as “an area for getting a finished style where there is no coloring, no cutting; just a styling station.” Basically, you can go in and have your hair and makeup done professionally for just about any occasion.

I was lucky enough to get the very first preview and makeover at the Dry Bar, and it was awesome. When I first arrived, they completely catered to me, offering me beverages and showing me to the lounge area filled with plush, leather couches. When it was time to get started, I was brought over to Lori Burke, the makeup master.

What was great about getting my makeup done was not only the way I looked after it was finished, but also how Burke described what she was doing as she went along. One of the major draws of coming into the Dry Bar is the opportunity to learn some new styling tricks and how to take the skills you learn home.

“It is just about working on their styling and helping the clients for when they are doing it themselves,” Donley said.

The only downside to having my makeup done is that I am extremely ticklish, and every brush stroke made me jump a little. But Burke let me have my moments and even went the extra styling mile and talked me into getting fake eyelashes, which got me compliments for days.

After my makeup was finished, I was brought over to Alissa Springman, the hair styling expert. Springman asked me what I wanted for hair, and this is where my embarrassing confession came out: I wanted my hair wavy like the girls from “Pretty Little Liars.” Yes, that is my guilty pleasure (I know it’s on ABC Family – judge away).

My hair was then curled and pinned up to set, and I looked like I walked straight out of the 1940’s. When it was taken down, I was

44 | September 2011

in love with the style.

The entire rest of that day, and until the day my fake eyelashes came off, I received comments from just about everyone around me. I looked and felt great. The staff at Southeastern Hair Design & Day Spa did an outstanding job, and I would highly recommend it.

The Dry Bar is open to anybody, whether they are looking for a night out, or just a casual dinner date with their significant other. The salon offers a number of different styling looks and makeup options to go along with any event. Prices range anywhere from $5 to about $50, depending on what is done or how much you want to learn.

Many of the components to the styling process are priced al la carte, such as adding extensions or fake eyelashes.

Most importantly, though, the stylists at Southeastern Hair Design & Day Spa “want people to feel taken care of.”

the real deal

Reina Okawa

Hometown: Japan | Age: 28 | Specialty: Mixed media and installation

If you have missed Reina Okawa’s work at the Ipso Gallery at Fresh Produce, the Washington Pavilion, or at events like Art vs. Appliance, you can check out her incredible mixed media (and maybe even buy some for that empty spot in your home or office) at this year’s Sidewalk Arts Festival on Sept. 10.

The artist, who emphasized in printmaking for her bachelor’s degree at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla., ended up in Vermillion, S.D., where she received her master’s in fine arts at the University of South Dakota.

What drew you to art in general?

I wasn’t sure I was going to become an artist. I’m sure a lot of people feel that way. When I was a junior in my bachelor’s degree, I kind of wanted to quit art because I didn’t know what my direction was and didn’t know myself as much. I was seeing other people grow into their specialties and was feeling insecure and left behind. But I stuck it out and stayed for my senior year, and everything came together. That is when I started finding out about mixed media work. I was incorporating p r i n t m a king with stencil lit h o g ra p hy on frosted Mylar, and integrating drawings and cutouts.

It was more of a play, and I really enjoy that feeling.

46 | September 2011

What brought you to South Dakota?

I wasn’t planning on going to grad school. I thought I was probably going to go back to Japan and find a job. I got an e-mail from a professor who used to teach at Ringling, who got a position as faculty at USD. He remembered me from when he taught me my first year and asked if I was interested in grad school because they had a position for a grad assistantship. I thought ‘why not?’ I came not knowing where and what South Dakota was.

What was your first impression?

Cornfields. I was like ‘oh my gosh, I don’t know what to think.’ I went through ups and downs during grad school. I rode my bike everywhere, so that was a way for me to explore Vermillion, South Dakota and the weather.

Even in the snow? How?!

I just did it. I slipped a couple times (laughs).

What will people see at your booth at the Sidewalk Arts Festival?

After so many natural disasters happening in the world, I am doing a natural disaster series. I also have a small series of birds.

What is the price range for your work?

My work goes from around $25 to around $500.

Check out Okawa and other fine art, craft and food vendors, as well as entertainment and an outdoor concert in downtown Sioux Falls. The event is free and is from 9 a.m.5 p.m.

relationships 101 Lesson # 57 – 4 ways to know when it’s time to cut and run As the new school year begins, I thought we would start with a lesson about the end. Part of being a wiz on relationships is being able to recognize when a relationship has run its course.

Not all things are meant to be, and I have seen countless examples of people not recognizing the signs and foolishly hanging on to a dying relationship.

This hopeless act doesn’t do anyone any favors, and usually leads to a worse breakup than what would have occurred if people would cut ties when the signs are in plain sight. The following are four signs that the end is in sight for a relationship. Learn them… they will be on the final.

#1 – You fight…constantly.

It’s a virtual impossibility for everyone to always agree on every subject; and the fact of the matter is that couples are going to have fights. How couples fight and what they fight about is the real telling sign between a healthy and unhealthy relationship.

First off, fights shouldn’t last that long. People get mad, but in a relationship it’s important to take the problem on and talk it out. A healthy couple should be able to talk through and offer forgiveness in a rather short period of time. If you’re holding a grudge and are having an unsanctioned MMA fight over not rinsing your dishes, it’s probably a sign that your relationship has run its course.

Frequency of fighting is also a very telling sign for the health of a relationship. If you’re having screaming match after screaming match throughout the day, you have a problem. The good times should always outweigh the bad.

If you have an unbalanced ratio of bad to good it’s time to cut and run.

#2 – “Dateline” has taken the place of date night.

Staying in and watching junk TV is a great way to spend time together, especially if you’re both having fun with it. I mean, what couple doesn’t like sitting in and watching “Big Brother?” It’s interactive. It gives you a way to cheer together or playfully cheer against each other. It just shouldn’t be

48 | September 2011

the way you spend every night, and it should never take the place of having quality conversations or nights out.

This basically boils down to spending quality time together. No matter how the quality time comes, it’s a necessary part of a healthy relationship. It’s good to go out occasionally. Treat your partner to dinner and have a romantic night. It keeps the spark alive. If you would rather be alone every night for a marathon session of “Call of Duty,” or, if you notice your partner is pulling away, it’s time to cut and run.

#3 – Cheating.

While it’s true that each situation can be unique, a zero tolerance policy isn’t a bad idea. Cheating is usually good cause to cut and run.

#4 – You aren’t “feeling it” anymore.

You know yourself better than anyone else on earth. A lot of times people in relationships can tell when things have been or are starting to go south. Trust your feelings. Too many times people stay in relationships because they think they have no alternative to getting out. You’re the master of your own life. If you aren’t happy in a relationship, you need to get out. You’ll be doing yourself and your current partner a big favor.

Likewise, if you see that your partner is disinterested and you get the feeling that they’re no longer invested, it’s time to have a talk. You both need to sit down and see if this is really what the two of you want.

If it isn’t then it is time to part ways. There is no shame in this. In other words, if you aren’t feeling it, cut and run.

Knowing when to end a relationship is just as crucial as knowing when to enter into one. I’m not advocating for anyone to just sit back and wait to see even an inkling of trouble and then cut and run. Relationships take work. You just need to stay mindful of what you’re looking for in a relationship. If your needs aren’t being fulfilled then it’s time to have a talk with your partner. If you both aren’t in the relationship for the same reasons and aren’t looking for similar things, it will be hard for your relationship to succeed. Keep your eyes on it and stay happy.

Good luck.

ask THE JOHNS Yes, all three of these guys are named John. Yes, it was a popular name in the ’80s (I’m sure you feel their pain all you Katies, Michaels and Jessicas). But these three gentlemen, when not obssesing over the new season of “Damages,” are here to answer every question you throw at them. They’re suave, sort of hip, and are here for you. The identity of these three amigos has been altered to protect the innocent.

1.) When I’m out with my friends we’ll take turns paying for drinks, dinner etc. One of my friends in particular will only pay for dinner once every couple of months and hardly ever buys anyone drinks, but gladly accepts them. She has a decent job, so I don’t know what’s going on. How do I confront her without sounding rude to see what’s up?

-Sarah JR: In my opinion your friend isn’t rude - she is smart.

In this economy, it’s important to pinch a penny, even if you have a good job. I think you and your friends should implement a Pay-for-Yourself policy. If you don’t, you’re just asking someone to free ride.

JW: She is what we call a ‘drink succubus.’ I bet everyone that is reading this knows someone who is. Do everyone a favor and order a round of shots for the table next time you’re all out. Make hers a ‘Jersey Turnpike.’ The bartender will understand.

JT: Next time you go out with friends, have everyone pay their own bill or try splitting it. Before you order, make sure you have the waiter keep everyone’s bill separate, or have him put it all on one tab so you can split it equally.

2.) My wife and I just welcomed our first baby and we’re very excited about it. Her parents live in town, which can be great, but they are constantly giving their parenting advice. Is it appropriate to ask them to stop, or how do I deal with the situation?

-Anonymous

JR: Yes, it’s appropriate to ask them to stop. However, doing so will probably cause more tension than it’s worth.

I’d say it’s best to bite your tongue. That way, the in-laws will still be happy to babysit when you want to take the wife out on a hot date.

JW: Take their advice, and then a few days later convince them that after following their advice the child fell ill. Later, tell them the child was hospitalized. When they go to visit the child, pay an actor to wear a doctor’s coat and tell them that the child has died. Pay another actor to be a police officer who will start to tell them that he feels they’re criminally liable for the death. Then pay a clown to hand them a card. In the card write ‘Mind your business. Xoxo.’

JT: You need to accept that you are going to get their advice whether you like it or not because that is what parents do. At the end of the day, they’re only trying to help. Keep the peace and deal with it.

3.) My friend seems like she’s in a rut. She broke up with her boyfriend months ago, and ever since then she just stays in and doesn’t seem to want to socialize. How do I snap her out of it?

-Amy JR: Sounds like your friend needs a new boy toy. I would take the liberty of creating a posting on her behalf on the “Women Seeking Men” section of Craigslist. I’ve heard it has a 100 percent success rate.

JW: This is a perfect spot for a male stripper to show up.

They cheer everyone up! Err, was that out loud?

JT: Give her the space she needs, but keep reminding her that you are there for her.

Disclaimer: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.

fashion alert

with Leonia Tran

Fashion is a bold statement that creates an individual’s image and the way people view us. Not all styles that are “in” on the runway will fit the average male or female, and that is okay. It is always best to stay true to yourself and create your own look. My philosophy is if you feel great, you look great.

“In with the old, and vintage rolls.”

Modern dress

Vintage sweater

Remember the days when your mom would ask you where her 1950’s classic, black Mary Jane heels were and it was like a foreign language to you? Or what about when you would dress up in your dad’s ties when you were messing around the house?

Well now is the time to rummage through their closets again, because vintage is in. Yes, wallets and old trends rejoice. Flannel, jumpers, patterned bow ties, and even military boots are back!

I remember digging through my mother’s jewelry box to only find a vintage pair of clip-on earrings.

Growing up I always dug out my mother’s dressers to find her shoes, her dresses, and anything possible that I can fit and strut around in my house.

I love autumn weather, when the air feels crisp but the sun is still shining. I especially love the fashion that comes along with it – chunky sweaters, light jackets… But my all time favorite about fall is being able to mix old with the new.

Girls: Simple. Your first visit should be your grandma’s closet. You can probably throw any little thing on from there and claim it’s vintage because there is a 99.9 percent chance it is. Plus you can hear the stories behind the fashion.

Vintage Mary Janes

54 | September 2011

If someone’s closet is not an option, or you have already ransacked through everything you can, I always suggest checking out the vintage/antique stores in your area. Some I suggest are Aviena at 8th & Railroad, or even The Salvation Army or Goodwill.

When the weather gets chilly, layers work as an alternative to heavy coats. Pairing an old blazer with a new blouse mixes savvy and chic. Leggings are great, too. I love mixing old vintage boots with a pair of my favorite darkwash jeggings, topped off with a solid print tunic. Colorful jeans are also currently in and can be mixed with an old tee, or find a unique vintage dress and throw on some tights with fringe or cowboy boots.

Boys:

Start easy. I suggest finding an old pair of light to dark wash jeans and pairing it up with a new graphic tee or sweatshirt, or vice versa (vintage graphic tees and sweatshirts can be very entertaining).

Like to dress up? I love the old vintage polos and argyle sweaters. I can’t speak for all females, but in my Asian eyes, I love argyle. Or, if you want to be “properly casual,” pair vintage flannel with a blazer or cardigan. Old hats, like driver caps, can be a great find and compliment your look as well.

September is a transition month, so make sure to have fun with it. The best part of mixing old with new is that it doesn’t leave you broke, so the banks won’t be harassing you about missing credit card payments! I also think it’s a great way to experiment with the present and the past.

I enjoy asking my parents what they wore growing up. Sometimes I chuckle, but I have to realize that future generations will look back and critique our era as well. Or maybe we’ll be back in style?

health What’s Your Smile Worth?

by Carl Anthony Graphic by Sam Kalda

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, what is our smile worth in that picture? Could our pearly whites, or lack thereof, reflect the health of our entire being?

Research suggests we could probably bet our two front teeth on it.

“It is important people understand the connection between their mouth and the rest of their body,” said Pam Quinones, a Registered Dental Hygienist and president of the American Dental Hygienists Association.

“Oftentimes, early signs of diabetes or heart disease can be found in the mouth,” he continued. “What you do, or neglect to do to one part of your body has effects on the others; the mouth is no exception.”

A study done by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and the University of Minnesota showed bacteria that remain on our teeth because of poor oral hygiene can enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation of the arteries. Such inflammation can put us as risk for heart disease.

“There are definite links between taking care of your teeth and the rest of your body,” said Dr. Bill Schultz, a Huron native and doctor of dental surgery at Great Plains Dental in Sioux Falls.

Not inspiring enough? Consider this: “Sometimes we see patients with a lifetime of neglect, and we have to remove their teeth and replace them with dentures,” said Dr. Bill Schultz, a Huron native and doctor of dental surgery at Great Plains Dental in Sioux Falls.

Heart disease, diabetes and the possibility of having teeth removed: Bad news. Good news? A clean toothbrush and a roll of floss is all it takes.

“Much of the stuff we treat on a daily basis is preventable, “ said Dr. Schultz. “Most people have tooth decay of some kind, but it is 100 hundred percent preventable.”

“I don’t think it’s ever too late to get on the road to any kind of good health,” said Quinones. “Things like tooth decay are progressive diseases, so they get worse over time, but you can stop them from happening.”

And it is important to remember both brushing and flossing. For optimum health, we can’t have one without the other.

“Some people simply don’t floss,” revealed Dr. Schultz. “I encourage everybody to make it a habit because there are many benefits to your health if you do.”

60 | September 2011

“When you floss, you help remove plaque, which will decrease your chances of tooth decay and other bigger dental problems like gum disease,” added Quinones.

But what about the big, creepy drill?

“Dentistry has come a long ways since those days,” said Dr. Schultz. “It is much different now.”

“Communication is key,” said Quinones. “Discussing your fears with a dental hygienist is very important in making sure your visit is comfortable.”

One of Dr. Schultz’s passions is giving people good feelings in the office so they look forward to their next visit, while Quinones believes talking with a dental hygienist about the options available can override many fears.

“Dental hygienists are trained for this,” she said.

Like many other health related topics, our teeth are no exception. Prevention will always reign supreme. And like a good diet, consistent sleep or an exercise routine, we must be the ones to initiate first contact. Nobody can live healthy for us.

“Only you can take charge of your oral health,” says Quinones.

“Remember, many things are preventable and simply making the commitment to brush and floss will save you time and trouble down the road,” says Dr. Schultz.

Fact: Any floss is better than no floss.

Get a floss you want to use, whether it be mint flavored, flat, thick, or covered in fluride. One popular type is the disposable floss sticks.

Fact: If your gums bleed, don’t stop flossing.

If there are signs of blood when you floss, it could be a sign of gum disease, so keep at the flossing. If it doesn’t stop, though, see your dentist.

Fact: Flossing only helps if you do it right.

Gently guide the floss between your teeth and use a zig-zag motion. Do not simply snap floss between your teeth. Make sure it gets around the side of the tooth.

Fact: Brushing teeth without flossing is comparable to washing only 65 percent of the body.

That means 35 percent of your teeth are not completely clean.
