HERE’iS A BUNCH OF STUFF I WOULD LIKE Welcome to the new Fargo Monthly.

Our first issue, but not our first time.

You probably recognize this magazine as once being the smaller FM Spotlight.

We decided to up the size and change

THE CHANGE Remember FM Spotlight Magazine?

We are proud to introduce the new Fargo Monthly!

3 Things I think You should know We are now distributing in hotel rooms in Fargo-Moorhead.

We also publish three other magazines each month: Design & Living, Stride and Bison Illustrated.

Sometimes just a face can speak volumes of their life. John Marks is one of experience, wisdom and the tough life of hockey.

WHO AM I? I’m tall, obsessed with magazines and I like long walks on the beach of the Red River. I am absolutely pumped about the new format of this magazine. Oh, I’m also very proud of my team. Fargo has adopted me, and will call it home.

Head coach of Fargo FOrce HOCKEY

A quick glance of John Marks' NHL career Played for the Chicago Blackhawks from the 1972-81 seasons

Played in the Stanley Cup Finals in 1973 — lost to Montreal Canadians.

Played in the 1976 NHL All-Star Game

Played over 600 consecutive games in the NHL.

10 // fargomonthly.com

Scored two goals within the first 30 seconds of a game.

Ok, now that john blew the whistle, let the interview begin!

How did your first season go last year?

Great! I enjoyed it. It was the youngest age group I’ve ever coached. I coached at the pro level for 26 years before coming here. It was a different experience, but hockey is hockey.

What's the biggest differences working with the younger guys?

No egos to contend with — I’m serious. You would be surprised about the egos you have to deal with in the pros, and the agents you have to deal with and all that.

Is there anything that you’re going to do differently as a coach?

were putting forth. Goal scoring will come, because if the history of the player says he should score, he usually does. We’ll be fine.

Other than get a cattle prod and stick it were the sun doesn’t shine? [laughs] There’s a little urging that needs to be put forth. Quite honestly, some of the guys who have been in the league who we expect to have more results from aren’t working as hard as they need to. It’s that old expression, ‘You’ve got to start looking in the mirror.’ Assistant coach Byron Pool went over some video with three or four guys in particular, and tapes don’t lie. I think it was a rude awakening when they watched it on tape, when they watched the lack of effort they

Were there any specific areas you were working on running up to this season?

We were concerned about our goal-tending, but that seems to be solved. We were concerned about our defense at the start being young and a little bit inexperienced — we lost three really solid defensemen. That has been okay, but now, like I said, the concern is that we haven’t been scoring. Our work ethic has to improve.

What do you like about these guys?

Right now they all seem to get along really well, and I think harmony, cohesion or whatever is very important to a locker room… I see a group of guys that respond when called upon, but I shouldn’t have to call upon them, and that is a concern. I expect athletes at this level to be self-motivated and self-disciplined because that’s why they’re here… You shouldn’t have to prod. For the most part it’s there, but I find that young players don’t know how to work yet. You almost have to teach them how to work, or push them a little harder than what they normally do, and then

fargomonthly.com // 11

What is it like taking these guys out on the road?

Some guys play cards, some guys play video games, some guys are doing their homework, and we’ll put a movie in. The bus we have has Internet capabilities, it has a satellite dish, and it’s equipped with 24 beds so guys can sleep. They’re a pretty calm group of guys; there’s laughter and chatter and all that sort of stuff.

they’ll suddenly realize that they’re capable of doing it.

A lot of young players really don’t know what work is; they’ve gotten by because of their skill. Now they’re playing entire teams that have skill, and they’re up against other players who may be a year or two older and 15-20 pounds heavier. Some of them shave and they don’t — there’s a maturity aspect too. It’s amazing

12 // fargomonthly.com

how big of a change there is in a player from September to May, and that’s just in his physical and mental development — not on the ice necessarily but off ice. We had a player last year who grew about an inch and a half and gained 25 pounds. You’re going to see that from everybody, not just because they’re in the weight room but also because this is the age of their physical and mental development.

But at the same time, when they get off the bus they have to represent themselves in the right manner. When we go into a restaurant I want the guys to dress decent. A pet peeve of mine is to have a group of guys in sweat suits, laying in bunks and traveling in a bus for six hours and then they get off the bus, go eat and get back on the bus and do the same thing, leave on a Thursday and come back Sunday morning, and they haven’t taken the damn thing off except to put their hockey equipment on.

I make sure they bring an extra change of clothes. I want them to bring a pair of khakis and a golf shirt or something similar because that’s important. They have to be well mannered because they’re representing the team, the city of Fargo and the USHL so it’s important to have a class act. It’s something they have to get used to. Most sports have a dress code, and they have other rules too.

Another pet peeve is the guy that comes one minute before the bus is going to leave — it bothers me! That’s why I set my watch five or seven minutes ahead of time.

There’s the time on the itinerary sheet and then there’s my time, and I want people to arrive on my time in case something happens. It sounds petty, but it’s important.

Why do you think the Fargo Force is important to this community?

That’s a good question, because there have been other junior teams here that haven’t lasted this long. There have been four or five junior teams that haven’t seen this success but I think there are a couple of reasons behind that, one is that the level of play at the USHL is better than the level of those other teams.

The other thing is that you have one of the top facilities for junior hockey in the country right here in Fargo. Youth hockey has really grown in the past few years, so it’s important for the city to have a junior team for these guys to be role models. It’s a great form of entertainment, and it’s inexpensive family entertainment.

There is certainly a pride in how the team has performed in their first four years, and the expectations are getting a little higher now. People are ready to win, and we all want to of course but so do the other 14 teams — that’s the problem. [laughs] I

also think a city needs diversity; you have your arts and you have your other sports but hockey is a fun, fast sport. This gives everybody something else to go to and enjoy, so there certainly is an importance for the club.

What do you want the guys you coach here to get out of this experience?

You want them to enjoy their junior experience, number one, because it is a good experience. You’re with a group of young guys your age, you’re growing together, you’re playing a sport you love, and here you’re playing in a great facility, you’re playing in front of big crowds and you’re well taken care of.

The Billet families (family the players stay with) take them in like sons, and they have quite a few freedoms to really enjoy their teenage years. What I like to see is for them to have success, both on and off the ice. I like to see them get their commitments to go to college. To see these guys do well here and then to go to school, you can feel like you were a part of that. And down the road, if they can sign a contract in the professional market, there’s such big money that if they take care of it, you know you maybe had a part in their success for the rest of their life financially.

Center for Creativity he sound of pencils scratching, pottery wheels turning and, most importantly, kids laughing, can be heard at the new Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity. This new site, attached to the Plains Art Museum, opened last month and added another 27,000 square feet to the already 56,000 square feet of the Plains Art Museum. The Center is dedicated to creating a fun learning environment for kids around the Fargo area. The Center for Creativity works exclusively with the Fargo public school district to ensure that art remains an important part of Fargo’s youth. This Center has just begun impacting children’s lives.

Colleen Sheehy is the director and CEO of the Plains Art Museum.

He was one of the founders of the Creative Art Studio that was in the basement of Clara Barton School. The Creative Art Studio saw thousands of students go through its programs. According to Sheehy, the whole point of this space is to get people to think about what an artist needs in their studio to be able to create art.

Common area This is a spot for kids to hang out and be kids. They can draw on the chalkboards, play in the open space or get something to drink.

The New

BEEFSTEAK CLUB “Beefsteak Club: A name or nickname of several 18th and 19th century male dining clubs that celebrated the beefsteak as a symbol of patriotic and often Whig concepts of liberty and prosperity.”

Article and photos by Andrew Jason

OK, we just broke the number one rule of journalism: Never

cite Wikipedia. (Oh well, at least you get the idea.) It often feels that the idea of fine dining and great service is a thing of the past.

Something we heard about from our grandpa as kids when he sat us down and began one of his “back in the day” rants. The Beefsteak Club is setting their sights on a higher standard in dining and service in Fargo.

“We’re looking to build that first name relationship with our clients and customers,” said General Manager, Nolan Higdman. “We want to bring them back to a time when the chivalry and regalness 18 // fargomonthly.com

of the old English reigned and treat everyone with respect.”

They do this by offering the highest quality beef and ingredients.

Almost everything is made in house. The beef is bought from various farms throughout the United States. No expense is spared when it comes to buying beef that is all natural. All the beef served comes from cattle that are free range and grass fed.

To be transported to another time where quality mattered and service was expected, swing down to the Beefsteak Club at 612 1st Ave. N. in downtown Fargo.

The Bar

This is the kind of bar your Grandpa told you about. They specialize in making a darn good drink. Try a Cuba Libre or a Harvey Wallbanger and you’ll feel like you’re drinking in a bar of yesteryears. The best part is that they don’t have a closing time. As long as it’s before 2 a.m. and people are having a good time, they’ll keep the drinks flowing.

Behind the BEEF According to General Manager Nolan Higdman, the New York Strip is one of their flagships. The beef is purchased from Legacy Beef out of Missouri. This is a 28-day dry aged beef, meaning, that it’s been aged to draw out the water content and bring out the flavor.

The Art The Beefsteak Club wants to promote everything Fargo, even down to showcasing local art. Many of the art pieces were purchased from Ecce Art Gallery. Local artist, Sarah Hultin, designed this piece.

Porterhouse, ribeye and Filet Mignon come out of Allen Brothers in Chicago. These are all USDA prime beef and handcut.

THE MENU Higdman and Executive Chef, Toby Reichart, put a lot of time and thought into creating the menu for The Beefsteak Club. In fact, they recently started a late night menu for when the kitchen closes. You can now get sugarcane shrimp or a smoked salmon salad into the late hours of the night.

The Owners The owners know a thing or two about restaurants. Kang Dechawuth and Dave Sheer, are also the owners of Thai Orchid, Wasabi and Drunken Noodle.

What are you guys all about when you get on the stage?

We try to be as unconventional as possible, while still playing songs everyone knows (with a bit of a twist.) If anyone in the band is standing still, then we are doing something wrong! People come to hear music, but our goal is to give them a show they will tell their friends about. It is different every night!

Sometimes we’ll mash-up songs on the fly, and often times there will be seven songs in a row where everyone plays a different instrument or sings lead! It is CONSTANT CHAOS! That, and the mostly impromptu choreography, is what makes it a Tripwire show! fargomonthly.com // 21

GO // Dangerously awesome bands

LIVE MUSIC

Any good stories from the road?

People ask “What will TW do next?” This is the best answer. We took a road trip to a winter show in Hope, ND. Each year they have a “theme.” We’d heard the theme was ‘opposite sex’ night. Of course we had to participate, so we were all set to start the show in our most elegant dresses! However, right before we were to start we realized the only other ‘participants’ were ten local guys in a contest to raise money (all of whom changed back before the show.) Physically uncomfortable?

Definitely! Socially uncomfortable? Not really. Standing ovation before we played our first note? YES INDEED! Got any favorite places to eat in fargo?

By “eat,” we assume you mean DRINK! (Come on, it’s Tripwire!) When we’re together we usually hit O’leary’s in Moorhead, Holiday Inn Spirit’s Lounge, Old Chicago, The Windbreak and Big D’s or Ruby Tuesday (if we feel like being healthy.) These places always treat us like family!

If you had one day left to live and you were stranded in Fargo, what would you do?

We would find a way to gather our closest Fargo friends and fans…hotwire a party bus or two…bust out the Tripwire credit card (can’t make payments when you’re dead)…hit some of our favorite bars together… then block off 13th avenue in front of the Holiday Inn and throw one sick party with TW and every other local/regional band rocking the streets! Even when we die, the music will just keep going!

What’s does the future hold for tripwire?

We really don’t know. We do have big dreams. It’d be great to hit the road with All-American Rejects, OneRepublic or other big national acts – but we realize we’re already so fortunate to do what we love, with people we love, in front of people who seem to love us!

We know how lucky we are, and we just plan to keep at it! We will continue to work our butts off and do the right things in order to get better, all while staying who we are.

Any other funny Tripwire stories?

We just found out that apparently (on more than one occasion), random guys in the FM area have tried to “hook up” with girls by claiming to be members of Tripwire! To our shock and surprise, this trick WORKED-at least until the girls found out the next morning that it was a lie! Watch out, ladies… if he can’t play the Kazoo, he’s definitely NOT in Tripwire!

GO // GET SOME ADVICE!

Hey guys,

I need your advice. My new husband and I finally moved into a house. I was putting boxes up into the attic and ran across a box my husband had labeled""stuff." I opened it, and was shocked to find women's underwear!! I couldn't believe it! I brought the box downstairs, showed it to my husband and get this...he admits to it?

I told him that he had to throw these out because they are not staying in my house!

He said,"OK as long as I throw away all the pictures and notes I have from my old boyfriends. OMG! He thinks it's the same thing. Help me!

ADVICE

DAVe JACOBS

“

[HE SAID]

Holy COW! LAME! I can’t believe this is even an ISSUE! The Greatful Dead once sang women are smarter, apparently they never met you. So you have pics of old boyfriends AND love letters and notes and such?? Yet you think that this is somehow a separate and different issue from saved panties?? Maybe there was a note written ON the panties, which, in your book, would be acceptable I suppose. Hello lady, meet reality...

Reality meet lady. I would LOVE to hear your argument on how one is any different from the other. Keepsakes are keepsakes because they must have meant something to you at one time, but most adults discard such things when they find that person who rings their internal tuning fork. Making your hubby a steak and all the fixins’ wearing only a smile is a real good way to START to show you’re sorry and have evolved past 11th grade.

It seems he held on to such things only because YOU did too.

Seriously, you owe him an apology.

AMANDA

First off, this CAN’T be real! If so, I am totally on your side. Underwear in a box is so different than pictures in a box. That is so gross. Why would anyone want to keep them? Pictures, notes, garters, bow ties and all of the “stuff” from your past is fun to keep. This on the other hand is creepy. If you weren’t already married I would have to say, CREEPY! But, he is all yours now and I would burn them. If he gets really upset about it, then I think you and I both know where this is headed. Good luck and don’t throw away your pictures. Hold your ground :)

GO // DOWNTOWN SHOPPING Photo by J. Alan Paul Photography Text by Kylee Seifert and Sarah Bieber

N W O T N W O D SHOPPING IS GETTING

BIGGER 26 // fargomonthly.com

When we think of shopping convenience, West Acres is usually the first place that pops into mind. With a phenomenal variety of stores and all in one place, it seems to be the perfect spot to spend some dough. While West Acres is a great one-stop shop, Downtown Fargo is proving to be just as accommodating. The only difference is that the heart of Fargo seems to get looked past when it comes to hunting for the latest trends or finding the perfect gift. Yes, it may require bundling up from one store to the next. However, if that is what’s stopping you from diving into the greatest finds in the area, suck it up, you’re in Fargo after all!

SHOPPING

THINK ABOUT THIS

WHat if west acres were placed on top of downtown?

Take a hike Entering the mall at the main entrance and leisurely making your way to pick up something at JC Penney’s, would be equivalent to taking a stroll from the Radisson to the Old Broadway.

5x5 West acres without the parking lot, covers four blocks by three. With the parking lot, it covers five blocks by five.

big area West Acres covers .233 square miles more than the area Downtown spans.

hidden gems West Acres offers about 130 retail shops within their walls, while Downtown claims about 90 hidden treasures in its few blocks.

Unglued Their tag line is “Buy creative. Get inspired.” That is exactly what husband and wife owners, Ashley and Justin Morken are promoting in the FM area. Unglued is a whimsical and unique shopper’s haven.

Freshly opened to the downtown scene, they have been at their new location since this past August. Prior to settling in at their permanent location, they offered a pop-up gift store for five months during last year’s holiday season. However, the Morkens began brewing up Unglued about three years before that event with a one day craft fest put together by the couple, where they focused on supporting local artists. Fast forward three years, and they are now the proud owner’s, operators and brains behind this exciting and eccentric boutique. It is a quaint market dedicated to bringing local and regional handmade crafts and arts to the community. “We offer an assortment of modern handmade crafts, vintage wares, creative workshops and cupcakes from Bakeology,” said Ashley. It hardly stops there though, they offer a great selection of gifts for the holidays and over 80 artists from fairly close by. (Fun fact, about 30 of these artists are from the FM area.)

Feeling inspired but not artistic? Come learn the ways of the craft pros at one of Unglued’s many workshops. They host a variety of them each month, teach different types of arts and crafts. The class fee usually runs between $15 and $20. This fee includes all the supplies needed, along with a new learned trade, a handmade item and maybe even a Bakeology cupcake. November’s workshops include a fabric flower headband, a paper mache deer antler mount (this is no typo, in fact this is one of the most popular workshops they host), a glass-etching moustache beer mug workshop and many more that are just as intriguing.

With so much to look at and to do at Unglued, you may want to completely clear your schedule before making a trip in. Even better, bring the work in with you and cuddle up in the back with a cup of their delicious Peace coffee and utilize their free WiFi. Or just relax and enjoy a book in the cozy, inviting environment.

It is a community, a running club, a specialty store, a fun environment and more than just running (hence the name, if you didn’t already pick that up.)

About five years ago, downtown Fargo welcomed this specialty store which is “focused on the everyday athlete.” Store manager, Sally Loeffler, puts it this way, “We help promote health and running within the community without being intimidating about it.”

SHOPPING

Beyond Running

After noticing a huge growth in the running community as a result of the first few Fargo Marathon’s, Beyond Running’s driving force Jason Overland, decided it was time to give Fargo something that it had been missing… a store devoted to the walkers, joggers and runners within the area. “We wanted a place for people to come to help them with their goals,” states Loeffler.

The staff at Beyond Running is devoted to providing knowledge, service, and a fun place to all throughout the community; whether it be someone who is just starting to take walks around the block to those who have completed multiple full marathons. If you are still feeling too intimidated to step foot in the store, check out their website to see just how goofy, laidback and wacky the crew at Beyond Running is.

They offer a wide range of items to help you jump start and maintain your running career from brands like Asics, Nike, Brooks, Saucony and more.

They also carry fun accessories, garments and jewelry, which would explain the “Beyond” part of the store name. Depend on Beyond Running to keep up with our many season changes in the FM area. Each week they receive new items to cover all your chilly weather running needs, along with stylish high visibility pieces. Even though it may seem a bit ironic to wear stylish high visibility workout attire, it never hurt anyone to look fabulous while working out (even if it is in the dark.)

If you are in need of a little extra push to get your running on, join their running club which meets every Tuesday and Thursday. Choose to run with them for three, five or seven miles and finish it off with social hour and healthy snacks (everyone’s favorite part.)

Since we all know running in place will get you nowhere, run down to Beyond Running to check out just what makes this community of friends, runners and shoppers so special.

Rearranging the furniture of your mind

By Andrew Jason

The outside of Theatre B looks like so many other buildings on Main Ave. Step inside and you may wonder if you are in the right place. However, go, see one of the performances and it could change your life. Theatre B is dedicated to putting on performances that will make you see the world in a new way. Heck, Theatre B is trying to “Rearrange the furniture of your mind.” Not a very easy task to accomplish. Somehow they’ve been doing it for 10 years though.

Their mission statement sums up what Theatre B has been up to since their conception in 2003. “To engage regional audiences through innovative theatrical productions that are culturally and artistically invigorating.”

That sounds lofty and impressive but what exactly does it mean?

Well, that’s where Executive Director, Carrie Wintersteen comes in.

Theatre B is located at 716 Main Ave, Fargo.

You can find more info at theatreb.org.

Seriously....

Looking for something more serious?

“Reentry” is a collaboration between Theatre B and the VA that shows an honest, moving and funny look at the struggle Marines face as they return from overseas.

Sun. Nov 11 at 3 p.m. – American Legion Hall, Fargo Tues. Nov. 20 at 3 p.m. – Fargo VA Health Care System

Carrie Wintersteen – Executive Director Carrie and her husband used to drive down to the cities to see performances of plays they couldn’t find in Fargo. That’s when an idea struck them. “Why don’t they bring original plays to Fargo?” They did just that. 10 years later, their creation is running strong.

Don’t miss Theatre B’s hilarious Christmas classic, “The 12 Dates of Christmas.” Ok, maybe it’s not a Christmas classic but we promise you that you’ll be laughing the entire time as you watch these 12 train wrecks of dates. Swing down to Theatre B and laugh your way through this play as you find yourself relating to these awful dates.

The ARTs

Do not miss...

Thursdays through Saturdays from Nov. 22 – Dec. 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 16 at 2 p.m.

“We want to get people excited about doing the work or attending the shows or about collaborating with us. Engaging was another thing that was important to us. Our show isn’t for a passive audience.”

Audience participation is crucial to Theatre B. Whether it involves bringing the actors into the audience, the audience to the stage or simply giving the audience something to think about as they walk out. That’s what Theatre B is all about.

DINING

Photo and interview by Nick Proulx

How did you get started cooking?

Christian D’Agostino is the head chef at Monte’s.

220 Broadway N, Fargo

40 // fargomonthly.com

“I washed dishes at a family style Italian restaurant back on the East Coast where I grew up in Rhode Island. I was 13 years old and I did that for about a year before they promoted me to be a cook. I did that all through high school.

“When I finished high school I went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. — it’s still one of the most prestigious schools in the country.

Then I actually went back to the same restaurant and they hired me as their head chef. It was a good start for me.”

What were you up to between then and now?

“I was there for five years after I graduated, and then I went to Birmingham, Ala. I worked there for a year at a city club, learned some southernstyle cuisine — my brother lives in Birmingham; that’s why I went down there. From there I applied to a cruise line, called Clipper Cruise Line, and I worked there for three years. I worked on four different ships that sailed to different places around the world — from Antarctica to the Arctic, the Mediterranean, Alaska and all the coasts of most of the continents.”

How did you end up in Fargo?

“I worked with Tony Nasello at Sarello’s; I opened up that restaurant with him. I worked at the Hilton Garden Inn too for a few years because I opened up that hotel too. That’s when I met Dan Hurder, who is my partner here; he was the general manager at the hotel, and I was the chef.”

What do you bring to Monte’s?

“I incorporate all the cuisines I know. We just came out with a new menu, and it’s essentially a documentary of where I’ve been. Every dish has a certain style; there’s Italian food, French food, you could get an English dish, a Scottish dish — all the places that I’ve been to...

What are your guilty food pleasures, when you don’t have time or when you just don’t want to cook?

“I’ll make myself a good cheeseburger, definitely.

There’s nothing wrong with that.”

What’s your favorite thing to whip up on this menu?

“My favorite to eat is a potato cake with smoked salmon, caviar and crème fraiche — delicious!

You’ll probably recognize the potato; it’s sort of like a hash brown — an upscale hash brown.”
