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).

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

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

IT STARTS WITH LAND MANAGEMENT

SOIL HEALTH IS THE ANSWER

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

“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.

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 field of corn, a farmer might plant a cover crop, such as turnips, to reduce erosion, add or retain nutrients and improve soil quality.

“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 find 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.”

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 beneficial to the soil.”

farmer wants to leave their “ Every farm better than they found it.”

Steve Halverson | Kennebec, S.D.

thisisfarming.org

South of Kennebec, fourth-generation farmer Steve Halverson grows crops, raises cattle and operates Halverson Hunts. He maintains wildlife habitat and uses sustainability practices like no-till and cover crops to conserve water and improve soil health.

“Every farm is different. And every farmer is different. But everyone wants to do what’s right for the environment.�

TWO CHANCES TO SEE "ONCE" IN SIOUX FALLS IT’S A CLASSIC STORY OF BOY MEETS GIRL, A MUTUAL SPARK IGNITED FROM A CHANCE ENCOUNTER.

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 16 // FEBRUARY 2016

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

IT’S A GREAT MUSICAL ABOUT MUSIC, AND THE CAST ARE THE MUSICIANS PLAYING THE MUSIC

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.”

SECONDHAND SOULS

BY CHRISTOPHER MOORE | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD 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.

BORDERS WENT BANKRUPT? SO WHAT. THAT DOESN’T STOP FORMER EMPLOYEE MARK LLOYD FROM FINDING OUT WHAT’S THE NEXT HOTTEST READ.

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.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO GET ALL THE SOULS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO YOU OR VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

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.

Karl is a guy who owns a bar and has a pretty meaningless life. That is, until he finds a time traveling worm hole in his closet. Now he and his friend start a business where they send people back in time to see their favorite bands. Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong.

Alec is looking at the next 10 years to try and predict where the opportunities for progress are and which countries will economically boom and which will bust. I feel like this is like those old pictures from the '50s that show what the year 2000 will be like. I'm just saying, we were promised jet packs.

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).

“An electric newsroom drama sporting a stunning ensemble.”

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW BY BERNARD BOO READ FULL REVIEW: WAY2IN.DE/1Z2

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.

Their new boss, editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber, in a measured performance that could be his careerbest), 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 childsexual-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-today, hard work.

RACING EXTINCTION Former National Geographic contributor Louie Psihoyos made a name for himself as a filmmaker back in 2009 with his Oscar-winning dolphin fishing documentary The Cove. Psihoyos dives further into the water in his latest film Racing Extinction, this time focusing on whales, manta rays, and other animals that are nearing 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 solution. 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.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT A percentage of those who see The Hateful Eight will be crushed by the weight of unflinching 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 hatred eventually had to be compromised. In a sea of gore with no redemption in sight, a subconscious shift in mindset embodies what is perhaps the most vulgar step toward progress ever captured on film.

THE BIG SHORT 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 characters explain when the film is being truthful and when it’s taking liberties for the sake of moviemaking. 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 experiences of the year.

BECKY TOMAC & ROB COOK 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.

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

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 timbermanteled fireplace in a wall of towering stone. A flatscreen TV hangs cord-free over the pelletburning 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

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.”

WHEN FASHION MEETS FUNCTION

BY NATALIE SLIETER

SHOW MINGLES LOCAL STUDENTS WITH CELEBRITY DESIGNERS 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.

30 // FEBRUARY 2016

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 DEPAOLO ELIZABETH 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

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? •

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

“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.”

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.”

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.”

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

“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.”

•

“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.”

the person I’m really looking to invest time in a relationship with. If that person comes along, that is where my focus will turn. I’m not going to date just to date. I think that’s why I’ve been single this long, because I recognize at some point the relationship is not the right fit and it’s not going to be. I’d rather end that relationship than have it turn into ‘This person’s nice to be with. At least I’m not alone.’”

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.

BY DENISE DEPAOLO

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 addition of sriracha to the sour cream drizzled on top added a bit of heat and complexity.

40 // FEBRUARY 2016

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.

THE ADDITION OF SRIRACHA TO THE SOUR CREAM DRIZZLED ON TOP ADDED A BIT OF HEAT AND COMPLEXITY. Lastly, I tried my half of the Asian Chicken Wrap, which had been recommended 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 showcases quality ingredients and boasts a diverse menu.

SO FR ESH—SO CLEA N [AT M O S P H E R E ] Clean and sparse, Camino has yet to develop its aesthetic character. [ S E RV I C E ] Our server was attentive and friendly.

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 SUBMITTED IMAGES

“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 makeand-take table for Valentines.

NAME: KRISTI EISENBRAUN // AGE: 23 // HOMETOWN: WEBSTER // SPECIALTY: ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SUBMITTED IMAGE

KRISTI EISENBRAUN

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

AS MS. WHEELCHAIR SOUTH DAKOTA 2016, KRISTI EISENBRAUN’S CHIEF GOAL IS TO SERVE AS AN ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, SHINING A LIGHT ON OBSTACLES AND THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER. OVER THE NEXT YEAR, SHE WILL TRAVEL THE STATE, MEETING WITH OFFICIALS AND PRESENTING IDEAS AIMED AT HELPING KIDS WITH DISABILITIES TRANSITION AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. AND THROUGH IT ALL, SHE WILL BE WORKING TO RAISE MONEY TO COMPETE FOR THE TITLE OF MS. WHEELCHAIR AMERICA THIS AUGUST.

What encouraged you to become involved in the Ms. Wheelchair SD pageant?

Kristi Eisenbraun: I had done speeches for the state in the past, talking about my experience with cerebral palsy and the challenging transition from high school into the real world. A friend suggested I fill out an application for the pageant. That requested volunteer participation information, reasons for advocacy, and my overall view on life. The day of the pageant, I had interviews with three different judges before going on stage and presenting my platform. I was nervous, but I've naturally advocated for people with disabilities my whole life.

What is your platform?

KE: I want to educate on the importance of service animals and 46 // FEBRUARY 2016

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.

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.

How has your service dog changed your life?

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.

KE: I would never feel comfortable being by myself if it wasn't for Huxley. He is a yellow lab, and I've had him for about a year-and-ahalf. 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 twoand-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

THE TRUE DEFINITION OF ROMANCE

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.

48 // FEBRUARY 2016

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:

H A N D FO O T A N D M O U T H D I S E A S E . YO U R E A D T H AT R I G H T. H A N D. FO O T. 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 commercialgrade 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.

ASK T H E JO H N S

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 THEJOHNS@605MAGAZINE.COM.

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?

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

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: What's your number?

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.

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.

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.

DISCLAIMER: ASK THE JOHNS IS A SARCASTIC PIECE. THEIR ADVICE IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY… EXCEPT MAYBE JOHN T’S.

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.”

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 200300s, 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.

8 HEALTH BENEFITS OF KIS S ING

BY 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.

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.

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.

60 // FEBRUARY 2016

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.

RU NNING IN THE WINTER IN ADDITION TO BUILDING CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS AND HELPING TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY WEIGHT, RUNNING CAN STRENGTHEN OUR BONES AND MUSCLES. ALTHOUGH THE OUTDOORS MIGHT NOT BE 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 62 // FEBRUARY 2016

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.

Teacup CANDLE

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.

BY ARYN HOLLAREN

COST:

SKILL LEVEL:

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.

64 // FEBRUARY 2016

•

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.
