Whether it’s gathering around a bonfire, casting a line off

the dock, or unwinding with a beer on the patio, South

Dakota’s collective happiness at returning to the outdoors

is palpable this month. We are not an indoor people. We

belong out, exploring our state’s gorgeous landscapes,

filling our lungs with fresh air, and gazing at the endless

starry skies.

Having spent most of March and April at home with my

newborn, I am particularly excited to feel the sun on

my skin again and introduce my daughter to the simple

pleasures of the world beyond. Because of her, I will no

longer take for granted nights listening to crickets through

an open window, Saturday mornings at the farmer’s market,

or the joy of splashing around in cool water on a hot day.

This issue is all about the sense of adventure that a new

season of outdoor activities brings. Our cover story

celebrates the ultimate facilitator of freedom and child-like

wonder - the bicycle. For so many of us, our first bike

was the key to the greater world. It allowed us to push

the boundaries of the known and get our first real taste

of independence.

We remain at Mother Nature's mercy, however. April

showers caused a last minute venue change for our fashion

shoot. Thankfully, the team at Carnaval Brazilian Grill

allowed the use of their fabulous glass-enclosed patio.

We also head to Rapid City in this issue to learn about

Frühlingsfest. This first big outdoor festival of the season

combines two of my favorite things - locally-made artisan

products and craft beer, which is basically poetry in a glass.

I hope that each of you finds beauty in your surroundings

this month. Leave your car and walk to lunch

if you can. Leave your phone in your pocket. Put off the

housework for a couple of hours and hike a local trail. No

matter where you are in South Dakota, the natural world is

just around the corner, waiting to fill the soul.

On Mother’s Day, let her know just how much that matters.

At Faini Designs Jewelry Studio, you’ll find colorful, fine jewelry from prominent designers that she’ll love for years to come – but never as much as she loves you.

Frühlingsfest is German for Springfest. It is an

annual spring beer tasting held in Rapid City’s Main

Street Square in which the highlight is seasonal

beers, specifically beers brewed locally. The May 21 event

will pair the tasting with a spring market where attendees

can shop handmade crafts and goods at their leisure while

enjoying a locally crafted beer.

“The idea for Frühlingsfest is a classic example of making

lemonade when life hands you lemons,” said Main Street Square executive director Megan Whitman.

When Bierbörse was cancelled due to the October 2013

Atlas blizzard, ticket holders were disappointed to miss

sampling brews at the festival and called for a substitute.

There were so many requests to hold a one-time tasting

event that the Main Street Square staff felt compelled to

satisfy the craft beer enthusiasts in the community, so

Frühlingsfest came to fruition.

Bierbörse is a broad craft beer tasting event in which

you can sample beers distributed locally, nationally,

and internationally. “We felt it was important to offer

something new, so instead we took a local approach to

differentiate Frühlingsfest from Bierbörse and concentrate

on highlighting local breweries,” explained Whitman. “The

event was an instant success and had a life of its own, so

instead of offering it just once, we made it a permanent

part of the signature event schedule.”

There will be more than 30 local beers to sample, along with

a festive atmosphere full of acoustic sounds, beer tasting

stations sprinkled throughout the plaza, and distinctive

vendor booths selling handcrafted goods all surrounded by

the many shops and restaurants in downtown Rapid City.

Attendees don’t have to be interested in beer to attend

this festival. According to Whitman, “With the many

booths featuring unique crafts and specialty items, there

is something for everyone to enjoy. Not to mention the

Bud Light Beverage Garden has all your refreshment needs

covered from water, soda, beer, to even wine.”

She continued, “This event is the perfect opportunity

to spend the day in downtown Rapid City and enjoy the

freshness of springtime. There is something to do all day

downtown during Frühlingsfest. Families can shop the

many specialty booths on the square or stores downtown,

enjoy live music from the oval lawn, grab a cup of coffee,

have lunch, or even enjoy ice cream all in one day.”

Frühlingsfest not only celebrates springtime in our area,

it heralds the approach of summer activities and events.

This is the community’s chance to gather once again in

anticipation of all that summer will bring to Main Street

Square and throughout the Black Hills.

Frühlingsfest is May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are sold for the tasting portion of the event, but a ticket isn’t needed to attend this free festival. For more info, visit mainstreetsquarerc.com or call (605) 716-7979.

THE LOFT LIFEDOWNTOWN SIOUX FALLS ISN’T JUST FOR SHOPPING AND NIGHTLIFE.

IT’S A VIBRANT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL. EACH YEAR,

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE OPTING TO CALL THE CITY’S CENTER

HOME. DTSF INC. COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR BRIENNE MANER

EXPLAINS HOW THE 9TH ANNUAL DOWNTOWN LOFT TOUR IS CHANCE TO

SEE HOW RESIDENTS ARE CREATING UNIQUE, LAVISH LIVING ENVIRON-

MENTS, AND TO DISCOVER THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO SUIT ALL PRICE

RANGES AND LIFESTYLE NEEDS.

Q&A

Do you have to be in the market for a new home to enjoy this event?

Brienne Maner: Absolutely not. This is a self-guided tour and allows prospective residents

and those who are just curious or are looking for decorating ideas to dream and spur ideas.

What are a couple of this spring's can't-miss lofts?

BM: The Jones 421 Lofts are creating a lot of buzz, as development continues on North

Phillips Avenue. When these lofts are finished later this year, they are going to be hot

property in a prime Uptown location. Jeff and Sheila Hazard continue to dream big and

reinvest in our downtown in a big way. Legacy Real Estate's historic Dillinger Building will

also be part of the tour, which will provide a historic context as well as a glimpse inside an

absolutely gorgeous property. Lloyd Companies will also be showing their fun and modern

lofts, including Phillips Lofts and Uptown Exchange. It’s a nice, well-rounded tour.

How has this event been received in the past?

BM: We set attendance records in 2015 and the event has gotten so popular that we added

a Fall Loft Tour and will continue on this year with two. They both coincide with the Parade

of Homes, and the fall event is the same day as the Sidewalk Arts Festival and Germanfest.

Any tips for first-timers to get the most out of the experience?

BM: Come early and take your time. The event gives you plenty of time to view the lofts,

have lunch, do a little shopping and even take in some of the beautiful free art that

SculptureWalk provides each spring.

The Spring Downtown Loft Tour is Saturday, May 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at Shriver Square. Tickets are $5, kids 12 and under are free. For more info, visit dtsf.com or call (605) 338-4009.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN MAY

VICTOR HAS JUST WOKEN

UP INSIDE HIS TENT.

HIS TENT IS UNDER AN

OVERPASS. THE OVERPASS IS

IN SEATTLE.

It's November 1999, and Victor has been wandering the streets for three years, ever since he left home as a teenager.

And Victor only has one goal today.

He's going to sell as much weed as possible. See, Victor came into possession of a rather large bag of weed. He didn't exactly come into possession of this weed in the most honest way (if there is an honest way) but he's going to sell it.

With the money, he's going to buy a plane ticket and be long gone. Maybe he'd get down to Mexico. Maybe he'd get down to the Caribbean.

But when Victor emerges from his tent, he realizes that this is

YOUR HEART IS A MUSCLE THE SIZE OF A FIST BY SUNIL YAPA | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD

HE REALIZES THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL DAY IN SEATTLE.

not a normal day in Seattle.

This is the day that Seattle exploded in protest of the WTO Ministerial Conference. Fifty thousand people took to the streets in an attempt to shut the conference down. It seemed like all the hippies, environmentalists, and basic militant anarchists were all in town that day.

And all Victor sees is 50,000 customers.

As the day descends into chaos, we'll meet six other people who will have their lives changed forever.

Police Chief Bishop, Victor's estranged father, will have to make the call to start gassing the crowds.

Two non-violent protesters will have their principles tested as the violence of the day is brought to them.

Two police officers, on edge and in the middle of the action, will have to try and keep their cool as their patience is tested.

And finally, the financial minister of Sri Lanka, whose life is put in danger as he sets out for his meeting with the President of the United States.

If you took the guerilla-style shooting from  Escape from Tomorrow  and the faux-documentary approach from  Computer Chess, you might have something close to what Matt Johnson creates in  Operation Avalanche, a captivating film about faking the Apollo 11 mission. Shot illegally (though staying within Fair Rights), Johnson manages to film in NASA headquarters by pretending to be making a documentary. What better place to film a conspiracy film about the moon landing than NASA itself?

There’s a meta element to Operation Avalanche, because the characters in the story employ the same tactic as the real filmmakers. Set during the space race in the ‘60s, America was worried about the possibility of a Russian spy stealing their secrets to get to the moon first. Enter Operation Zipper, a small film crew assigned to pose as clueless documentarians to find the spy. They go around conducting interviews with NASA employees and tap the phone lines of

the higher-ups, eventually learning that NASA is five years behind schedule because they haven’t figured out how to actually land their moon lander.

Once word spreads that the space program may be jeopardizing John F. Kennedy’s target date the commander wants to shut down Operation Zipper, but the filmmaking team comes up with a plan to save their jobs and fix NASA’s problem. Dubbed Operation Avalanche, the team offers to fake the moon landing using the same special effects used in movies. Their first task is to visit the set of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey; since Kubrick’s film involves landing on the moon, why not use his techniques to create their illusion?

Operation Avalanche  wonderfully blurs the line between reality and fiction by splicing together new footage with archival footage, creating a similar effect famously used in  Forrest Gump. Here, they insert

themselves asking for an autograph with the real Stanley Kubrick that looks so authentic it’s scary. Even though the film was shot digitally, cinematographers Andrew Appelle and Jared Raab accurately replicate the visual look and feel of the era. One trick used to create that effect was grading the film, converting it to a 16mm print, and then converting it back to digital. They also film one of the best car chase scenes you’ll see in any film, independent or otherwise.

Most found footage and/or covertly shot films tend to rely on the gimmick of the filming technique, so their narrative takes a back seat. But with  Operation Avalanche, the meta format fits effortlessly with the story. It’s an inventive film that works not  just  because Johnson managed to sneak into NASA and film, but because he crafts an enthralling story to go along with it. Operation Avalanche is an energetic film, filled with innovative tricks and provocative ideas to please anyone looking for an amusing ride, especially those obsessed with conspiracies.

KNIGHT OF CUPS

410

In his latest movie, Knight of Cups, Terrence Ma-lick asks us to join him for the third time in a row on a journey through the meandering thoughts of people lost in life, confessing their innermost moral quanda-ries to the cosmos as they stumble and crawl across God’s green earth and bask in heavenly sunlight. This time the setting is Los Angeles, photographed in all its concrete, Art-Deco grandeur by trusted Malick collaborator (and Oscar darling) Emmanuel Lubez-ki. We follow and listen in on the thoughts of fading movie star Rick (Christian Bale) and, occasionally, his famous friends, as Malick lays out another un-bearably thin narrative that’s as deviously frustrating as a 500-piece puzzle with 450 pieces missing.

VALLEY OF LOVE

6.510

It’s only taken 35 years for Isabelle Huppert and Gerard Depardieu to reunite on screen, but any-one expecting fireworks between the two French acting titans will come away befuddled by  Valley of Love. What begins as a two-hander dealing with the grief of two parents in Death Valley gradually transforms into something more surreal and myste-rious, a sort of Lynchian turn that tends to happen with films utilizing desert locations. It’s a switch that fascinates more than it satisfies, turning the questions surrounding loss into literal (and increasingly bizarre) mysteries.

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

810

First-time feature director  Dan Trachten-berg  milks a simple, succulent premise for ev-erything it’s worth in  10 Cloverfield Lane, a quasi-sequel to 2008’s found-footage urban thrill-er  Cloverfield.  Mary Elizabeth Winstead  plays our resourceful, sharp-minded hero, who, after a wicked car crash, wakes up trapped in a subter-ranean survival bunker with a lumbering, creepy captor (John Goodman) who claims the outside world has been reduced to a war-torn, uninhabit-able wasteland. It’s a powder keg of a movie with an old-school approach to storytelling that’s inter-ested not in philosophy or meaning, but simply in the events unfolding right in front

If you are constantly filling up your bike tires, try this trick to find potential leaks.

WHAT YOU NEED:

▶ Liquid soap

▶ Water

▶ Spray bottle

DIRECTIONS:

Combine one part soap and four parts water in the spray bottle and let it sit for one minute. Begin spraying down the tire. Once you have covered the tire in the soapy solution, look for bubbles forming irregularly. This is your indicator that you have a leak in the tire.

There is always a lot of action at the Dykstra’s home in the country. The second we walked into their brand new open ranch, owner Lori greeted us with news that calves were being born yards away. “Dave said you should have been here a few hours earlier, you probably could have helped pull a calf,” she laughed.

The couple, who live with their son Dylan, 8, and daughter Emma Jean, 6, both work at Landscape Garden Centers, yet their home ironically is scarce of any landscaping. That is because they just celebrated a year at the house that is addressed as Marion, but technically is closer to Monroe (it depends on who you ask).

“When you do landscaping for a living, the last thing you want to do is start doing landscaping when you get home,” she said in jest.

Another factor is because Dave was busy working with his father on building the home themselves.

“My husband designed it – he did the blueprints. Basically we loved our house in Sioux Falls, but it was a split-level. So we pretty much took our exact house and turned it into a ranch,” she said. “Other than the [kitchen] cabinets they did all the millwork; stained every block, everything,” Lori said.

The kitchen is wide open and shares the dining room along with leading right into the living room. Said kitchen cabinets were a large inspiration for the rest of the home, which Lori requested Dave to match the exact grey look throughout the house.

“This was a process,” she said pointing to the cabinets. “I picked those cabinets, which I fell in love with, and asked if we could match all the trim in the house to that. They were like

‘that’s a paint, a glaze, a stain – that’s a four-step process.’ I always come up with these crazy ideas and he always makes it happen somehow.”

It is very apparent he does, in fact, make it happen. Their barn door leading to their mudroom was created by Dave with an old barn door and old hardware that was lying around the land.

At this point of the interview, Dave

had arrived home with the kids. He explained if there is a chance he can build something they need, he will do it. Opening the front door, Dave pointed to a unique overhang with a rustic roof and lights.

“We’ve had a lot of things we find to help us,” Dave explained. “The steel on all of the covered porches are from an old grainery on an abandoned farm, and the lights were old florescent lights I found in a farm shed that I converted into incandescent bulbs using Edison Bulbs. The beams are from a water tower from Tracy, Minn.”

So what did Dave do when they needed a way to organize school papers and office supplies? He built a

“messaging center” in the mudroom, which seems like it could be the size of a guest room. This is one room they knew they needed to get right when building.

“Our mudroom is big, but this is actually a farm,” Dave laughed. “We wanted to make our mudroom big enough so winter stuff, summer stuff, everything – you didn’t have to pack it up and put it in storage. It’s all here.”

Instead of cubbies, Dave created custom hangers for all of the coats, bags and the like to keep the room feeling open. A bench he handmade sits below for shoe and attire assembly/disassembly.

“He actually built the bench in a couple of hours. It’s kind of sad,” Lori joked.

28 // MAY 2016

Mud in the Dykstra house is no laughing matter, though.

“This is probably our most used room here,” Lori noted. “I’m sure it’s still dirty even though we swept it and mopped it.”

Dave continued, “That’s why we picked the color tile we did. We’re not dirty people, but living on a farm with two kids – you get a lot of dirt in and out so this doesn’t look dirty when it is dirty.”

The other prized room that helps eliminate a mess is Dave’s personal mudroom that enters the house directly from the “cow yard.” Complete with a full bath, he can shower before entering the basement. A giant handle was installed next to the door to help keep balance as he removes necessary items for the dirty work.

“Mud boots are tough to get off,” Dave said.

“It’s great after a night of a few drinks, too,” Lori laughed.

Besides fighting the elements, the 4,020 square feet home has a lot of character with their fireplace mantle that was built with trees the couple had cut down on the 3.27 acres of land. Local art featuring nature by Lonny Bauer hangs on both sides of the mantle, and a photo of their land from the ‘30s is displayed on a table near their couch.

“This has been in the Dykstra family since 1931,” Dave explained, pointing to the photo. “My dad grew up in that house and then in ‘89 they sold it. That house is actually in Monroe now.”

The plan was that his father and wife would build on the land, until the 120 acres across the street became for sale.

“They bought that land but kept farming here,” Lori said. “They have land that is three miles away and we were going to build there so we weren’t on top of our in-laws, but they advised that if we want to farm that we won’t want to check on the cows miles away.”

Lori continued, “At first I was a little hesitant because that’s very close to your family, but it’s great. They’re always respectful and knock… but now that I think of it when we go to their house we don’t knock. It’s something about your parents’ house I guess.”

Other highlights in the Dykstra five-bedroom home include the master bathroom (including an open shower with a claw foot bathtub), Lori's walk-in closet (large enough for a center island and her own washer and dryer), and their adorable new golden retriever puppy, Toby, who greeted us as we exited.

As we made our way out of the home, the family walked us out to look at the cattle and we watched a newborn walking near its mother.

“On my to-do list I wanted to put up curtains in the house, but I don’t even want them up anymore,” Lori said. "The view is great."

The country version of their former city home definitely had a lot of thought put into it with their everyday lifestyle, and the family agrees the work (and move) has been worth it.

“We lived in Sioux Falls. It took everything in him to get me out here,” Lori continued, “but now that we’re out here I love it for our kids.”

“We're putting out a very high quality product with responsibly-sourced beans that are meticulously cared for and served. We're really a quality over quantity driven business,” explained Eisenhauer. “We want to put out a fantastic product, and we want you to be excited every time you drink it.”

Both members of Sioux Falls-based bands Soulcrate and Later Babes, Gerlach and Eisenhauer knew they would work well together from their success in making music for over a decade. With similar passions for coffee and creating a quality product, they trusted the flawless timing in the endeavor and purchased a building that would house their coffee roasting company, along with a handful of other businesses.

“It seemed like a logical direction to go,” described Gerlach. “I've been roasting coffee for a long time. This building gave us a space to do it on our own.”

While the The Breaks provides the aromatic, welcoming scent of coffee and an endless source of energy throughout the day, the building purchased also houses Wes Eisenhauer Photography, Passenger Productions film company, a rehearsal space for Soulcrate and Later Babes, as well as Eisenhauer's brother Dan’s photography space.

“The creative juices are constantly flowing here,” said Gerlach. “That's the beauty of this place. Things are always happening here, people are constantly hustling and creating. That's what I want to be surrounded by.”

Both Gerlach and Eisenhauer used their background in music to educate themselves on how to open a business, buying the building in October 2015. A short five months later, they put the finishing touches on renovations and are well into coffee roasting.

“He would never acknowledge it, but I think Corey is one of the most talented people in coffee in the city,” Eisenhauer proudly stated.

“He's the talent behind the roasting, while I focus more on how to market it. We bring different things to the table, and that's why this works so well.”

The coffee beans are bought from an importer, coming into the roasting company colored a light shade of green. With years of experience and a natural skill in the craft, Gerlach pours the beans into a roaster heated up to 400 degrees, roasting anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes before being dropped into a pan to cool before packaging. One of

their favorite aspects of The Breaks is the ever-changing flavors that come through and leave the door, with beans coming from a variety of regions around the world.

“Coffee is seasonal,” Eisenhauer explained. “So we keep a rotation on things. It keeps things fresh and it makes it more interesting. We always want something new for people try.”

Local consumers don't have to go far to try The Breaks’ freshly roasted coffee. Selective in selling their product, Gerlach and Eisenhauer initiated their business idea after solidifying a partnership with downtown Sioux Falls eatery M.B. Haskett. “They have fantastic food, and there's a lot of care that goes into making it. We knew it was a great fit for us.”

With their high quality ingredients and delicatessen-style menu, a cup of freshly roasted coffee from The Breaks pairs perfectly with the food selection at M.B. Haskett. Bags of the packaged product are also available for sale.

Right now, M.B. Haskett is the only brick-and-mortar location where The Breaks’ coffee beans are available, but an online store makes

BREAKING INTO COFFEE

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

Many of us are dependent on a flavorful, satisfying cup of coffee to start our day, but not all realize that a lot of work goes

into the morning ritual. Corey Gerlach and Wes Eisenhauer have a passion for good coffee, and the resources to execute a

successful business to produce it, starting THE BREAKS COFFEE ROASTING COMPANY.

the product readily available. A subscription option includes a scheduled delivery of The Breaks’ varieties, encouraging coffee lovers to expand their palate.

Eisenhauer references the vast variety of coffee flavors available, claiming, “I'm still trying to figure out my favorite kind. This has been such a learning experience for me.”

With his experience in coffee roasting establishing a solid

foundation for Gerlach's knowledge in the art, his favorite flavor of coffee fluctuates throughout the day. “For me, it depends on the day and the time of day. Some days I really like Ethiopian coffee, and other days I really want a good Peru or Guatemalan blend. Every region is so different in flavor. That's what makes it fun.”

While expanding their business is a long term goal, Gerlach and Eisenhauer are in no rush to grow, focusing instead on developing a quality product.

“While we hope to grow, our home base is Sioux Falls. We're representing Sioux Falls, and we're proud of being from South Dakota. We're working on growing from here,” said Eisenhauer.

THERE IS NO MORE PRODUCTIVE FORM OF MUSCLE-POWERED TRAVEL THAN CYCLING. A 2012 article on popularmechanics.com cites the example of a cyclist versus a pedestrian, pointing out that if the two use the same amount of energy to travel a distance, the cyclist would travel three-times as fast, and would expend six-times less metabolic energy. Basically, riding our bikes is hella efficient, and in South Dakota’s two largest cities, there’s never been a better time to be on two wheels.

Chad Pickard, owner of Sioux Falls-based Spoke-N-Sport, says that although the state remains deeply entrenched as a car culture, a great deal of progress has been made to accommodate bicyclists. A big part of that is the completion of Sioux Falls’ bike trail in recent years, and city leaders’ decision to view it as a legitimate route for daily transportation.

“For Sioux Falls it’s awesome because it’s a facility people can get on and not have to worry about traffic,” he explained. “There’s relatively no stop signs on the bike trail. Most of it is wide enough to navigate easily and feel secure with your bike handling skills. I know a lot of people who live on the west side but work on the east side, and as they travel across the city they jump on the bike trail for a portion. I used to live east of town and I’d jump on the bike trail to come into work, and I loved that part of the ride in the morning because there’s no car traffic.”

Kamp Kirsch, a partner and manager at Two Wheeler Dealer, says his decision to move to Sioux Falls four years ago was influenced by the presence of a strong year-round bike culture.

“It was small four years ago, but it’s certainly grown,” said Kirsch. “I’ve seen a lot of people getting into fat bikes and winter riding. That’s really cool. That’s not super common in the country right now, so the fact that it’s happening here means people have a different mindset towards biking. It gets cold and super windy. It’s not always fun to ride your bike here. In fact, a lot of times it’s not, so seeing people out there doing that every day is really cool to see.”

Although the city has been awarded a bronze ranking as a “Bike Friendly Community” by The League of American Bicyclists, both Pickard and Kirsch admit Sioux Falls isn’t perfect when it comes to cyclists and motorists coexisting. Pickard believes education is key, starting in elementary school. He fondly remembers bike rodeos and other events centered around bike safety. For his kids, that hasn’t been part of their school experience, and he thinks that’s a missed opportunity. Another component, he says, is awareness on the part of drivers. It can be as simple as looking in the rearview mirror before opening a car door, or taking an extra few seconds before pulling out onto a roadway.

I USED TO LIVE EAST OF TOWN AND I’D JUMP ON

THE BIKE TRAIL TO

COME INTO WORK, AND I LOVED THAT PART OF THE RIDE IN THE MORNING,

BECAUSE THERE’S NO CAR TRAFFIC.

...IT’S HAPPENING HERE MEANS PEOPLE HAVE A

DIFFERENT MINDSET TOWARDS BIKING.

“Vehicle traffic is not looking for a cyclist moving 10 miles per hour,” Pickard explained. "They’re looking for walking traffic moving two or three miles an hour. And reality is a cyclist is probably going to be moving closer to 15 miles per hour or faster, just because a bike is a very efficient mode of transportation.”

Kirsch has been impressed with the efforts of groups like Falls Area Bicyclists (FAB), which push for increased education, visibility, and overall safety. But, he says, there is still room for improvement. “Cyclists have a right to be on the road and a lot of people don’t get that. They think that we should be on the sidewalk, which isn’t necessarily any more safe than the road. And the ‘three foot, six foot’ law that’s currently in place, I feel like people have been following that, but not all the time. Just that extra couple feet of space is going to save a ton of lives,” Kirsch said, in reference to a state law passed last year making

three feet the minimum for passing on roads with speed limits under 35 miles per hour, and six feet on roads over 35.

On the other side of the state, bike advocates are working to make Rapid City more bike friendly as well. One big change has been the addition of South Dakota’s first B-cycle stations. They make it possible to check out a bike for $5 over a 24-hour period (or $65 for a full year of rentals, which includes B-cycle stations in other cities).

“We have a station here at The Square and a station here at the (South Dakota) School of Mines (and Technology),” explained Karlee Moore, marketing manager for Main Street Square and Destination Rapid City, “We want to get the kids downtown and people out to the School of Mines, because there’s so much going on out there between sporting events and the Museum of Geology. There’s just a lot to capitalize on with that.”

Moore says a lot of the bike rentals have been by professionals heading to a park over their lunch hour, or downtown residents running quick errands. She expects to see more stations pop up throughout town, making bike sharing an efficient way to explore the city, like she’s already seeing in places like Minneapolis and Denver.

Creating a more bike-friendly community is a priority for Rapid City leaders, as well. Already, work is being done to improve safety in crosswalks on higher speed streets surrounding downtown. And, Moore explains, a new master plan unveiled this spring focuses on making the city center more livable, and by extension, more bikeable.

“We’re looking at more bike lanes, and to maybe widen sidewalks. We just recently redid the crosswalk between 6th street and the park. Downtown is really on the verge of getting a few more lofts, and downtown living is picking up,” she said. “It's huge for the biking community. If you’re living downtown, you’re going to bike to wherever you can, which is the goal.”

Whether it’s in a downtown setting or on South Dakota’s highways, getting more bikes on the roads, Kirsch says, is a key to increasing safety.

“I know a lot of people who ride to work and they say over time that cars get further and further out, because typically those people are also driving the same route home and they’re being more aware you’re on the road. And the more cyclists they see, the better.”

Although the prospect of ditching four wheels for two can be daunting, participating in group activities like Bike to Work Week are low pressure opportunities to try it out. This year, it runs May 16-20, and will include bike-centered events and friendly competitions to see which workplace can clock the most miles.

“I like to encourage people to ride that week just to see what it’s like,” Kirsch

said. “I think people have kind of a negative mindset when they think about riding to work. They think it’s going to be a pain, but just the energy you get from it, that’s why I encourage people. The best thing I do to start my day is ride to work. Every day I ride to work is better than the day I didn’t ride to work, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.”

Pickard agrees, and believes that getting out of the car and onto a bike can change how we see the world. “Just to get on a bike and run around town, grab some food, run some errands, it’s nice to not be restricted by a vehicle. You don’t ever see people in cars pull up to a stoplight and start talking. You just don’t. But on a bike trail if people are stopped at an area together, it’s always like, ‘Hey, how’s your day going?’ You see the cage of the car disappearing and it tends to create a bike community that we really, really like.”

Biking to work is lovely way to start and end the day, but admittedly, no one on our team has made the commitment. Until now. 605 Magazine

publisher Alana Snyder, sales and marketing director John Snyder, and Dainty Obsessions sales manager Emily Swan decided to to ditch their cars for a week. Here are their impressions of commuting on two wheels.

BEFORE YOU START...

DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CYCLING

EMILY: The last time I rode a bike was my sophomore year in college in 2004, when I’d bike to class from my off-campus apartment.

ALANA: I love to bike... three times a year. Every summer I tell myself I'll start biking everywhere and then it just doesn't happen.

JOHN: I don’t bike a lot. I wish I did more of it. Getting a new bike at the end of the season last year might mean that I can utilize the trails more.

HAVE YOU EVER BIKED TO WORK?

EMILY: No

ALANA: No

JOHN: Once

DISTANCE FROM YOUR HOME TO WORK:

EMILY: 6.4 miles

ALANA AND JOHN: 5.5 miles

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED RIDING TO WORK ON A REGULAR BASIS?

ALANA: I've thought about how cool it would be to be that ambitious.

WHAT IS MOST EXCITING ABOUT RIDING TO WORK?

EMILY: I live a rather sedentary lifestyle and have a hard time finding time to exercise, and since I need to get to and from work anyway, why not get a workout and bike?

WHAT ARE YOU MOST NERVOUS ABOUT?

JOHN: Being tired and sweaty. Not having a car over lunch.

NOW THAT YOU’RE DONE…

BEST THING ABOUT RIDING TO WORK?

EMILY: I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment each day and was also happy to get in some physical activity.

JOHN: The quiet and the solitude fostered a nice time to think about super deep stuff. Getting a workout was great. After I got there, I appreciated it.

ALANA: What I discovered is that riding my bike to work sadly doesn't really fit well with my job, personally, because I have to be able to be at meetings and events that can be across town and/or are back to back most days and my day changes at the drop of a hat.

HOW ABOUT THE MOST CHALLENGING THING?

EMILY: Biking to and from work takes me twice

as long as driving, so I had to wake up earlier than normal for my commute to work and also lost about a half hour post-work.

JOHN: The energy that I had to use to get there was rough in the wind. Really rough, so I’d need to pick my days better.

ALANA: My least favorite part was having to plan my day around having a bike.

ARE YOU READY TO BE A REGULAR BIKE COMMUTER?

EMILY: I would consider biking to work while the temperatures are warm and the humidity in the morning is low. I think I’d be a mess at work if I had to bike through summer humidity.

JOHN: I will occasionally. I just don’t think I’m an everyday biker. But I will bike more than I used to, so who knows?

ALANA: I would like to bike to work on a Friday when our days are more laid back!

DO YOU CONSIDER SIOUX FALLS A BIKE-FRIENDLY CITY?

EMILY: I found it to be bike-friendly until I got into downtown. Without having a dedicated bike lane, I was sometimes anxious that vehicles wouldn’t see me or would plow into me if they were turning right on a red. The residential streets I biked on had a bike spray painted on the road, so I at least felt a bit validated mingling with cars there.

JOHN: I live in close proximity to the bike trails, so that is a great resource. I love riding them recreationally.

ALANA: I do! But it's so spread out that if you need to be places during work hours it can be difficult.

BUFFALO GALS

BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON

40 // MAY 2016

South Dakota is known for the Black Hills, rolling plains, and

many buffalo. A new type of buffalo is being associated in South

Dakota, though, with the arrival of the Buffalo Gals organization.

Laura Mounce is a founding Buffalo Gal, and explains exactly

what it means. “Buffalo Gals is a group of gutsy gals with grit

and grace who meet every month to support one another in our

personal and professional endeavors. As diverse as the grasses of

the South Dakota prairie, we are varied in professional background

and age, but share a common vision of supporting each other and

by extension our community.”

She says Buffalo Gals was started like many grassroots endeavors.

A group of women noticed a need and decided to fill the need. In

the case of Buffalo Gals, they wanted to create a place for women

to go beyond the typical “networking” and instead build a group of

women who support one another, encourage women to be leaders,

and use their voices and skills to change the community.

Buffalo Gals hosts monthly meetings bringing together 60 to 80

women, typically featuring a local nonprofit. Attendees will learn

about the featured organization and how it plays a role in their

community. They are able to offer a free-will donation to support

the nonprofit if they would like. In addition to regular meetings,

Mounce says the Buffalo Gals hosted nearly 400 women of vision

and energy for two days in early March.

“We also recently hosted our first annual International Women’s

Day Celebration where speakers addressed topics relating to

women’s past, present, and future in Western South Dakota and

the broader world,” she recalled. “Inspired by these women, we

then gathered to identify community issues that would benefit

from our collective energy and skills. The 2017 International

Women’s Day Celebration will be April 2-4, 2017.”

To become a Buffalo Gal, a woman just has to declare herself a

part of the herd. There are no membership fees involved with the

organization. Buffalo Gals meetings are organized by volunteers

and the costs are paid for with the help of sponsored meeting

spaces and refreshments, as well as free-will donations.

A huge benefit of being involved with Buffalo Gals is that women

are given the opportunity to connect with other women in an

inclusive and encouraging environment. Mounce says that women

with all skills and abilities are welcomed and needed.

Ultimately, Mounce says that the goal of Buffalo Gals is to create

communities where women are a driving force for connections

and who cultivate change to make the world a better place for

all. Buffalo Gals is seen as a change agent, seeking to build better

communities to benefit all. “We add women’s voices to our

community’s important conversations."

Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The May meeting will be held at Tails N Training in Black Hawk on May 24. The June meeting is being held at The Knuckle Saloon in Sturgis on June 28. For more info, visit buffalogals.us.

Sioux City-based Jim’s Burgers recently opened its first location in Sioux Falls. The restaurant, which is the chain’s sixth, can be found in a former KFC building on Minnesota Avenue. Having never been to a Jim’s location before, I had no idea what to expect when I stopped by for lunch with three friends on a Wednesday.

We got in line and tried to take in the extensive, and somewhat scattered, menu before we got to the cashier. The one expectation I did have walking in was that the menu would be largely burger-based (of course, because of the name, but also because of the telltale burger scent wafting through the parking lot). This, I found, was not the case.

While the burgers listed were mostly variations on popular basics (a patty melt, bacon cheeseburger, Western burger, chili cheese burger, etc.), the sandwich menu was actually pretty vast, including options like a tuna melt, philly, ham sandwich, and hot dogs. But sandwiches are just a small fraction of the offerings, which include a rather wide variety of Mexican foods, fried seafood dinners, breakfast items, and salads.

As mentioned, there were four people in our party, so we tried to represent as much of the menu as possible on our table. When I reached the cashier, I ordered a patty melt combo, plus two tacos - one carnitas and one asada. I was given a paper ticket with my order number on it, and handed my root beer, which came in a startlingly small cup - the size one might get for water at most places. There was a sign posted explaining that everyone was entitled to one free refill. At first, this seemed strange, but then I noticed the prices. They’re actually really reasonable. Perhaps that’s why.

We sat down at a booth and waited for our food. A glance around the dining room revealed a clean, if unremarkable, space with navy and burgundy booths and motel-style artwork. After five or 10 minutes, our lunch was delivered to the table.

I started with the fries, which were just north of lukewarm. The seasoning on them was really good and rendered additional salt unnecessary. I can imagine that straight out of the fryer, they would have been pretty great, but once I was beyond the seasoned salt exterior, the texture was a bit flaccid and starchy.

My patty melt was tasty, but really, it was more like a grilled cheese with a bit of beef in the middle. The sandwich was comprised of perfectly toasted white bread, melted American cheese, and grilled onions, all of which overshadowed the thin little burger in the middle.

Next, I moved on to my tacos. Each was a double corn tortilla with meat and pico de gallo, in typical street taco fashion. They were both really good, particularly the carnitas, which is roasted pork. Both the pork and steak were tender and the pico was well balanced, with the onions, tomato, and cilantro all present, but not overpowering. The only thing that would have made them better would have been a bit of lime.

Since we wanted to try as wide a swath of the Jim’s menu as possible, everyone at the table ordered a couple of things. This included the chicken strip dinner, served with fries, onion rings, and salad, two corn dogs, the sausage and bacon breakfast burritos, and an order of taquitos.

I tried one of the taquitos, which were really crispy, even after sitting for 15 minutes or so. The shredded beef filling was subtly seasoned, but when eaten with a bit of the sour cream and pico de gallo on the plate, they were really quite tasty. The breading on the chicken strips was thick, crunchy, and well-seasoned. The burritos were jam-packed with potatoes and eggs. My friend with the sausage burrito was excited to find that the meat inside was served in full links. The bacon inside the other burrito was crispy and plentiful.

Both of my friends who ordered corn dogs fancy themselves experts in the genre. Both were pretty excited about the ones they got at Jim’s. Apparently, the batter tasted homemade, a bit savory, and a bit sweet.

[ I T ’ S THE FACTS ]

• Jim's Burgers was recently voted #1 in a "Best of Sioux City" poll.

• This chain's flagship Sioux City location has a 4.8/5 star rating on Yelp.com.

• All menu items are available all day (8 a.m.-10 p.m.), including break-fast items. (That means drive-thru pancakes at 9 p.m. can be a reality.)

[ATMOSPHE RE]

Eh.

[SE RVIC E ]

Our interaction with the staff was pretty limited, but they all seemed to be com-pletely efficient and competent.

[ TASTE ]

I didn’t expect my favorite thing from a place called Jim’s Burgers to be the tacos.

One said that it tasted like the fair when they were a kid. If that’s not glowing praise, I don’t know what is.

Bottom line: I’d eat here again. The fact that it has a drive-thru gives it a big leg up. Especially if I have a hankering for a corn dog and a taco and don’t want to face prying eyes.

Bourbon’s, Beers, & Bites to eat.

REBECCA SWIFT HOMETOWN: YANKTON / AGE: 30

SPECIALTY: ESTHETICIAN/MAKEUP ARTIST

BY NATALIE SLIETER

REBECCA SWIFT has had a love for makeup ever since she was a little girl. This love has now become her career. When she isn’t doing bridal and prom makeup, she maintains the social media accounts for “Carter & June,” a

film project she did makeup for last summer in New Orleans. She is also working on completing a 100 Day Makeup Challenge, which she is chronicling on social media. She does her makeup to look like celebrities, Disney characters, and other familiar faces.

When did you become interested in makeup?

Rebecca Swift: My mom said I used to sneak her lipstick when I was 4 and apply it better than most adults she knew. And I was always huge into painting and coloring. When I was a

"MY MOM SAID I USED TO SNEAK HER LIPSTICK WHEN I WAS 4 AND APPLY IT BETTER THAN MOST ADULTS SHE KNEW."

munchkin I would grab a coloring book, flip open the first page, fill the lips in red, turn the page, fill in the lips, and so on. It was a pretty good indication I would eventually paint faces for a living.

Where did the idea of doing your makeup to look like celebrities come from?

RS: I took on the 100 Day Makeup Challenge for fun when I got back from filming in New Orleans. I actually ran out of wigs and happened to be a brunette, so I could easily slick back my hair and focus on facial structure and shadows I saw on faces rather than more theatrical makeup.

Has this helped launch your career even further?

RS: Absolutely. I'm now creating and monetizing tutorials on YouTube. I've had several offers from major television networks for celeb transformations and reality shows. Since moving back to my hometown for the first time in 12 years, I'm focusing on enjoying my friends and family and have had to decline. I'm all traveled out for the time being, but in the near future I may consider occasionally traveling once again.

What has been your favorite celebrity makeup so far?

RS: It always changes, but I would have to say transforming into a White Walker from Game of Thrones was a favorite. I went to a few fast food restaurants in costume and got some fantastic reactions on film. Totally worth it.

What kind of response have you gotten from others?

RS: Friends and family are always excited and sometimes a little creeped out, especially when they stop over to say hi and I'm in the middle of a transformation. But I love practical jokes, so sometimes I intentionally try to sneak up on them. I'm 100 percent sure the UPS employees think I'm a crazy person. The support from celebrities has been interesting. If one of them mentions my makeup transformations on social media, I usually try to recreate their faces. I was able to do that with Zooey Deschanel and Sofia Vergera. I still have to attempt Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Lopez.

When you aren't doing makeup, what can people find you doing?

RS: I'm usually painting or drawing or doing crafts with my daughters. I'm a huge Pinterest junkie. I'm working on some music in my band called Rebecca and Patrick.

Where do you hope to be in five years? Ten years?

RS: In five years, I want to settle down and have a bigger family. I have two amazing little girls already, Logan, who’s 11, and Quin, who’s 8. I'd like a couple more. I'm such a homebody, so I'm pretty content creating and working from home, watching movies, and playing guitar. In 10 years, I'm hoping to work from home entirely by shooting makeup tutorial videos.

“With over 30 TVs, it’s the place to watch your favorite team!”

— Kyle Hanlon,Bartender

48 // MAY 2016

Almost a year ago, we welcomed our second

miracle baby into our family; our first son, Wes.

We brought him home and smelled him and

stared at him creepily like any doting parent

will tell you we do. I relished doing his laundry

(usually the bane of my existence) and folded

and smoothed his tiny clothes like they were

delicate treasures. Every time I saw his precious

chest heave with breath, I prayed silent prayers

of gratitude; he was finally here. Smiling. Eating.

Healthy. A tangible answer to so many prayers.

A couple weeks after he was born, I noticed a

large white - what I thought to be - birthmark on

his tummy and marveled that I hadn’t noticed

it until then. Then, as I started to investigate, I

found a few more sprinkled on his body. I just

thought; well, he’s part Pacific Islander, part

Caucasian, perhaps his skin is just having an

identity crisis. And I moved on with my life-

with-a-newborn-caffeine-driven life.

At our four-month check-up, I pointed out the

spots to our pediatrician and to my surprise, her

look changed from bubbly well-baby check to

serious investigative doctor face. My stomach

dropped like I was falling 10 floors as the words

came out of her mouth: “Well, these marks …

Mmm … It actually might be a sign of a certain

genetic disorder …”

AHEM. EXCUSE ME, COME AGAIN? And just like that, with three small words “It

might be,” I tumbled into the abyss known

as “the unknown.” I began to do what all our

doctors tell us NOT to do, which is go online

and research. I confess. I directly disobeyed the

doctor’s orders. In fact, I researched so hard, I

should probably have my PhD by now. And what

I learned was not pretty: The possible genetic

disorder was a multi-system, incurable genetic

disorder in which it is possible for the person

to grow tumors in various areas of their body

including the brain, heart, lungs, and eyes.

Suddenly, our whole world changed. We went

from deliriously happy parents of a newborn, to

frightened out of our minds, sleepless, internet-

crazed humans. Ok, scratch that. I suppose I

shouldn’t say “we.” My husband, as per norm,

was the rational human being in our equation,

remaining calm. I, on the other hand, stayed up

at night staring at our son, trying to determine

if every seemingly rogue movement was a

seizure (a major sign of the disorder). I folded

his clothes with a lump in my throat and while

he played, I watched as if he were a ticking time

bomb. I would feel a wave of peace come over

me some days, only to later be strangled by fear

at night.

We were referred to a neurologist and from there,

agreeing our son had one major marker of the

disorder, our neurologist ordered an MRI, heart/

lung scan, eye test, and a genetic blood test.

The only way to rule it out is to test, test, test.

So, test we did. And pray we did. And we asked

others to pray, and before we knew it, hundreds

and hundreds of people began praying with us

and for us. Again. It is humbling to ask for help,

it is humbling to ask for prayer, but we have

learned that inviting people into our struggles

invites hope in, too. People came out of the

woodwork to encourage us; dropping off meals,

flowers, notes, and praying. During a potentially

lonely and dark time, we felt illuminated by

other people’s care for us.

Over the course of a little over a month we

were in and out of Sanford’s magical Children’s

Hospital castle for testing. And while there,

we watched as parents brought their children

through the doors. So many were clearly worried

and heavy laden - the weight of their child’s

illness etched into their tired eyes. I found

myself praying for them, hoping they too had

people rallying around them, rooting for them,

and carrying some of their burden. Hoping

for hope for them. And all the while seeing

the difficult road that so many parents in our

community are journeying.

Long story short, in what we believe was an act

of God, every single one of Wes’ test results came

back normal. He is in the clear! (Perhaps his skin

is just confused after all.) We are so thankful.

But yet, my heart still rests with those whose

test results did not come back this way. It is with

those parents we encountered in the waiting

room and the children who are fighting for their

life every day. I feel like I was given a glimpse, a

mere microscopic taste, of some of the suffering

so many are walking in and I have a newfound

want to be the hope that others gave us.

It is amazing how three small words can change

everything. For us, the words “It might be” and

then months later, the three little magic words

“It is not” changed our lives forever. Whew!

Thank you, to all of you who cared for us. I am

so grateful.

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.

My neighbors have three kids and as a result, they have tons of little bikes, big wheels, child-size cars, etc. Their kids leave them all over the yard and across the sidewalk every single day. I don't know how they haven't been stolen, but most of all, they're a messy eyesore. Should I say something?

JR: Always speak your mind! The sight of those toys bringing those kids joy just so happens to disgust you. Do not let their happiness interfere with an orderly neighborhood. They should be inside playing video games anyway!

JW: Part one of the plan is that you should steal them. Once the mini Escalade goes missing a few times, they'll start keeping them inside. Part two of this plan starts with Craigs and ends in List.

JT: With three little ones, your neighbors are probably focusing on what’s directly in front of them, not what’s in the yard. It’s not an excuse, but they probably have a lot on their plates. If the problem persists, though, perhaps stacking them in a neat pile by the front door during a late night walk will be in order.

I want to continue liking my family and friends. How can I keep people's opinions about certain presidential candidates from coloring my opinion of them?

JR: Focus on discussing things we all care about and agree on, like puppies. Try going to the dog park and getting into a political debate. Not going to happen. Those dogs don’t care. Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Sanders, never going to come up.

JW: It's funny, the more 'tolerant and accepting' someone claims to be, the less 'tolerant and accepting' they seem to be of any points of view that differ from their own. The people that post political stuff all of the time are awful. They do it because they think they are smarter than you and need to 'educate' you. I personally don't care about my friends' particular political persuasions. But, when they let the cause overtake them, they are literally a shell of a person carrying water for an ideal. It becomes time for some new friends because I lose respect for them.

JT: It might be necessary to set ground rules with a few people about talking politics (or religion). I learned that lesson after an alcohol-fueled conversation about George W. Bush with one of my uncles ended in personal attacks and tears. Focus on what you have in common instead of what divides you.

I was at a concert a few nights ago and found myself really annoyed by a couple of people behind me who were having a full-on conversation throughout the show. Even when the band was playing, I could hear them perfectly. It was really distracting, so I finally turned around and asked them to keep it down. They ignored me and kept on chatting. Am I the jerk here?

JR: What was this, a middle school choral concert? Most concerts I can’t even hear myself.

JW: They suck, you're right. But instead of telling them to keep it down, you should tell the band to keep it up! If the music was louder, you wouldn't hear those clowns.

JT: Those people are monsters. There’s a time and a place for talking, and during a concert isn’t one of them. Not only was it rude to the other patrons who paid good money, but it’s a slap in the face to the performers. Your request should have been sufficient, but really, there’s no accounting for some people’s manners.

Of moderate exercise (brisk walking or swimming) or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise (running) is needed weekly for most adults. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, we should keep a physical activity goal of at least 30 minutes a day, but increasing it to 45 minutes can add health benefits and increase weight loss.

Parks make up Rapid City’s public green spaces. According to rcgov.org, the Parks and Recreation division oversees 1,650 acres of land, with sizes of parks ranging from 1.5 to 210 acres. These parks provide endless opportunities to enjoy spring weather. A couple things to keep in mind: alcohol is not permitted within the parks and dogs must be kept on leashes unless they are within specific “off-leash” areas.

7.4 HOURSIs the amount of time the average American spends looking at screens every day. The website bgr.com relayed the data of a study that said the 444 minutes (7.4 hours) breaks down into 103 minutes (about 1.7 hours) on a computer, 147 minutes (about 2.5 hours) watching TV, 43 minutes on a tablet and 151 (about 2.5 hours) minutes on a smartphone.

DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS? EACH MONTH WE BRING YOU INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND MORE.

Acres make up Great Bear Recreation Park in Sioux Falls. The city’s largest park, it’s typically thought of as a winter haven (snowboarding, skiing, tubing), but the park also facilitates summer activities like hiking. Take the Ralph and Doris Wallin Nature Trail and choose from three loops ranging from leisurely walks to a more challenging wilderness-like journey.

OUR BODIES ARE EXPOSED TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES EVERY DAY. Whether in our food, our air, or even our medications, they seem to be everywhere. Detoxification is our body’s way of naturally eliminating these dangerous impurities. Although this is an automatic function of the human body, the higher the number of toxins we are exposed to, the harder it is for the body to keep up. A detox bath is one of the simplest healing treatments we can do to aid the natural detoxification process. By doing this, we not only flush out toxins, but also strengthen our immune system and prevent various diseases.

ITEMS NEEDED: Makes enough for 1 bath // May be doubled or tripled

• 1 cup Epsom salt

• 1/4 cup baking soda

• 5 drops lemon essential oil

• 5 drops lavender essential oil

• Jar with lid

DIRECTIONS:• In a small jar, stir together Epsom salt and baking soda. Add 5 drops each of the

lemon and lavender essential oil. Stir.

• Add to warm bath water.

• Immerse yourself in the water and soak for at least 20 minutes.

• Once you are done, hydrate yourself with a glass of filtered water.

*For maximum benefits, take a bath detox with Epsom salt at least twice a week.

BOSTON FERN

This tends to be a little more difficult to care for but gives great texture. These plants prefer to clean the air from a cool location with bright, indirect light and high humidity. Keep the Boston Fern moist. It should be checked daily to see if it needs water, and given a good soak once per month.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: formaldehyde and xylene

ALOE

Along with serious health claims, aloe is easy to care for. The plant's leaves contain a clear liquid full of vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and other compounds that have wound-healing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a sun-loving succulent that likes to be dry.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: formaldehyde

PEACE LILY

These plants pack some major air-cleaning abilities despite their small size. They are easy to grow and will flower for much of the summer. Be aware that those flowers (like all flowers) do contribute some pollen to the air. Peace Lilies prefer shade and like their soil to be kept moist without over-watering.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene

SPIDER PLANTS

A great choice for beginners or forgetful owners because they are among the easiest houseplants to grow. With bright, indirect sunlight, spider plants send out shoots with flowers that eventually grow into baby spider plants.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: formaldehyde and xylene

SNAKE PLANT

This is one of the hardest houseplants to kill. Give it some sun and water it only when soil is dry.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and xylene

FICUS

This tree can end up being between two and 10 feet tall when it grows indoors and is an extremely hardy plant. It will grow in bright, indirect light and likes the soil to dry out between waterings. This plant has some great air-cleaning capabilities and can also be taken outside in late spring when the weather is warm and well above freezing.

POLLUTANTS REMOVED: benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene
