NO SHORTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES he problem was known. It was the results that surprised everyone. Over the next five years, 30,000 jobs will be added to the FM area. As the rest of America is climbing out of the quagmire that was the Great Recession, Fargo-Moorhead seems to be growing too big for its own britches. Because of this, several organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Corporation came together and conducted a comprehensive work force study. Some of the numbers were astounding. There was a 24 percent increase in the number of jobs in our community in the last 10 years. With about 6,700 job openings, we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country at 2.5 percent. No matter how you slice the pie, there’s enough for everybody. The problem, though, is that there aren’t enough people to eat the pie. 18 | OCTOBER 2015 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

While it’s a bit different than our normal coverage of food and entertainment, we feel this is still an important topic and we’re taking our own unique angle on the story. We’re not only looking at the work force shortage but also looking at seven people who have followed their dreams and are loving their jobs. So, read on and learn about some folks with pretty cool jobs. You’ll also find lots of great stories on a couple of NDSU students who are trying to make affordable prosthetic limbs, a look at the incredible legacy of Madd Frank and a guide on what to do this Halloween. Oh, we also have plenty of awesome food coverage, too.

TIMLUND NO COAST TATTOO eing able to draw is one thing, but having the ability to transform a drawing into a permanent work of art on human skin is on a whole other level. That’s why co-owner of No Coast Tattoo and tattoo artist, Tim Lund, is great at his job and he has the experience to back it up. Bringing art to life is one reason, but there are numerous why Lund loves doing what he does. Lund got his start in the tattoo industry back in 2006 when he heard of a job opening at a local shop, 46 and 2 Tattoo. He brought in his drawings to the owner and was hired on as an apprentice about two months later. Lund spent around seven years at the shop before he and two other artists from 46 and 2 Tattoo ventured off on their own to open No Coast Tattoo in Downtown Fargo in May 2013, which has since expanded with other talented artists. When you ask Lund what he loves about his job, he’ll tell you multiple things. One is that he basically gets to color and draw all day, which is pretty much all he did as a kid. However, don’t be fooled, because tattoo artists put in a lot of time and energy into their skill and craft. With that skill comes the importance of time management, something that Lund still admits can be tough from time to time.

No Coast Tattoo 515 3rd Ave. N, Fargo

“If we’re drawing something custom for somebody, we don’t always have a lot of time to do it at the shop. I can be at the shop all day but still go home and draw for another two or three or more (hours),” explained Lund. Luckily, the nice part about co-owning your own tattoo shop like Lund is being able to set your own hours and make your own schedule.

TIM’S TIPS FOR GETTING TATTOOED

On top of custom hours being a nice perk, Lund explained that the job as a whole is extremely rewarding, which makes him love it that much more. “When you get done with a tattoo and they say that it’s better than they even imagined is a really good feeling because, for a lot of people, their tattoos really mean something to them,” said Lund. In 2014, No Coast Tattoo teamed up with another local shop, Dead Rockstar, and other businesses to put together Fargo’s first tattoo convention. Not only did Lund love seeing the tattoo community come together last year, but this year the convention will be back and even better. (You can find more information on the 2015 Rough Rider Ink and Iron Expo in our event calendar on page 105.) “It’s nice to see it now going into its second year and getting a huge band like Clutch to come play in town for it. It’s grown so much in just a year and it’s fun to be a part of,” said Lund.

Be specific with what you want, but don’t try to put everything you want into one tattoo. If you’re putting names and birthstones and maybe your grandpa’s watch or your grandma’s whatever into it, that’s fine, but a lot of times a good tattoo is more simple. It’s always a good idea to give your artist freedom to work in their own style. They’ll always work with you to give you the best. I personally think the best tattoos that I’ve done are when somebody comes in and says that they want, let’s say a scorpion, and that they really like my work. I draw it like I would draw it and that’s it.

ERINTERAVSKIS RED RIVER ZOO rin Teravskis remembers when she knew she wanted to be a zookeeper. Growing up in Minneapolis, Minn., she spent a good portion of her childhood at the Minnesota Zoo falling in love with the animals. That affected her so much that she decided to study zoology in college. It was in college when she knew she officially found her career, though.

TERAVSKIS' TYPICAL DAY While every day is different, zookeepers have certain things they need to do daily. Read the notes from the day before so they’re on top of what’s happening. Prepare the food for the animals. Check the animals and make sure none are sick. Check the exhibits and make sure they’re safe for visitors. Train the animals and move them into the exhibit. Prepare their pens for the night.

“I got an internship at the Minnesota Zoo,” Teravskis said. “That was when I knew this is what I wanted to be doing. It was the coolest thing. I was so excited to be going to work each day and working with the animals.” After college, she moved to work with giraffes at the Nashville Zoo for four years before making the move up north to be closer to family. For five years, Teravskis has worked at the Red River Zoo with the Sichuan Takins and Bactrian Camels. Imagine a zookeeper at work and images of someone with a shovel cleaning up the nasty leftovers of breakfast may come to mind, but Teravskis wants people to know that there’s more to the job. “It’s more than just scooping poop,” she said. “There’s a lot that goes into it. Like I said, we all have degrees. A lot of people don’t realize that. We’re all college-educated so we know things about animal behavior and animal nutrition and what their needs are.” In fact, one of the biggest jobs for Teravskis as Lead Zookeeper and Enrichment Coordinator is to make

sure the animals are living happy lives. The zookeepers work with the animals everyday to be self-sufficient. For example, the wolves are provided a whole deer to mimic real-life situations. “I do feel we’re providing the best care possible and that zoos really have an important role to play,” Teravskis said. “If people don’t see animals here at the zoo and know what they’re about and make that connection, why are they going to care about protecting them in the wild?” That close interaction with the animals creates a unique bond. Accredited through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Red River Zoo has to meet several guidelines. This ensures that all zookeepers work very closely with the animals, which creates a special bond. “That’s a big part of a zookeeper's job, knowing an animal’s personality, their likes and dislikes and knowing how to apply that in a way that’s helpful for taking care of them,” Teravskis said. While it’s obvious Teravskis loves the animals, there’s another aspect of her job that’s very special to her. “I really love to talk to people that maybe haven’t made that connection or realize all the cool things there are to know about camels,” she said. “When you gauge their interest and are able to share those details with them and see that they learn something new, I really appreciate that.”

THE FM AREA WILL ADD 30,000 NEW JOBS. HOW IN THE WORLD WILL WE FILL THOSE JOBS? Earlier this year, five local organizations teamed up to look at the work force shortage in our community. They discovered that we must attract, retain and educate people in order to fulfill the growing demand of jobs. In fact, in the next five years, 30,000-plus jobs will need to be filled. We look at the different components of this. But first, we have to figure out why Fargo's economy is so hot right now. So, we must ask ourselves some big questions...

They’re doing a great job of helping people give themselves permission to make changes, tell the story, connect with each other. Don’t wait for permission.”

One sector that is growing rapidly is technology. With companies like Aldevron achieving international success and the local universities cranking out engineering and other tech-related graduates, the tech field is booming, especially with

“The underlying factor of (FargoMoorhead’s economic success) is the diversity of the economy,” said Jim Gartin, President of the Greater Fargo-Moorhead Economic and Development Corporation. “If you look at this market, there’s no one sector that would have such a horrible consequence if it, excuse my language, but went down the tank. A lot of communities and a lot of states are so tied to certain sectors like the automotive sector in Michigan or Detroit, when that goes down, it brings the whole economy down.”

Historically speaking, agriculture, which has been struggling recently, has been the top sector in Fargo. However, Fargo’s economy continues to boom. Unemployment hovers at 2.6 percent, three percent lower than the national average. The gross metro product, according to Forbes, is an impressive $14.1 billion, and, speaking of Forbes, Fargo is ranked the seventh-best small place for business and careers. Divide the cake and all sectors are getting an even slice of the economic pie.

HOW DO WE ATTRACT PEOPLE TO FARGO? How do you brand and market a

city? That’s basically what the FargoMoorhead Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has to do. One of the major issues with the work force shortage is attracting new talent to the FM area. How do we do that, though? Nicole Holden, Director of Marketing for the CVB, helped us answer that. With the new North of Normal campaign launched earlier this year, the CVB is actively marketing this area. However, before any rebrand could happen, research needed to be done to find out exactly whom they’re marketing to. “The research was great because it

kind of told us who was interested in our destination, who would visit us, who’s potential visitors, where our top markets are and the things they’re interested in when they do visit,” Holden said. “It showed that we’re very much an urban destination. Shopping, things to do and the arts and culture are really important drivers to creating a destination for people to come visit.”

and things that will make them succeed,” said Jim Gartin, President of the EDC. “We’re seeing some of our most successful tech startups, they’ve been people in their 30s and 40s but it all started in kind of a younger environment that they’ve picked up on and really taken off.” The brand has taken off. #Northofnormal is popular on Instagram and Twitter, and the video has more than 130,000 views on Visit Fargo-Moorhead’s Facebook page. While it’s geared toward attracting visitors, North of Normal can be something Fargoans are proud of, too.

The North of Normal campaign was created to go after the younger generation. With a young population and a median age of 31.7 years, (the U.S. is 37.1) and roughly 30,000 college students passing through Fargo every year, it’s a natural fit that Fargo is marketed toward that generation. In fact, this is in line with what the Economic Development Corporation believes needs to happen, too.

“We kind of saw that we do things a little bit differently here, yet we’re very hospitable,” said Holden. “It’s still a small town feel. People go the extra mile to give you the hand-crafted experience here. The people here are so proud of the things they do and the businesses they build and the relationships they form.”

“We have one of the youngest populations in the United States so it’s really important that we cater to them and make sure there’s programming

CARYEADES FARGO FORCE ary Eades’ resume is a picture of Midwest hockey. Starting off playing for the University of North Dakota from 1978-82, he moved on to play professionally for the St. Louis Blues before bouncing around coaching for UND, the Dubuque Fighting Saints, Warroad High School and more. He can now add the Fargo Force to his resume. In his first year as head coach, Eades hopes to bring the Force into a winning season after a losing record of 26-28-6 last year. With a successful track record, he is excited about this season. What some may not realize is that most of the players for the Force are in high school, something that provides a unique challenge to Eades and his coaching staff. “I really believe that you can’t get anywhere in life without hard work. That’s the first and foremost thing that we demand of our players…" Eades said. “Beyond that, obviously, we’re dealing with young people so not only do we want to develop their games as far as hockey players, but we can play a real big influential role developing them as people as well.” The life of a coach is different than most. You have little job security, you’re constantly on the road and you’re always working to stay one step ahead of your competitors. However, what does that look like on a daily basis? “One of our pet peeves, coaches in the USHL, is when people ask

fargoforce.com

us what we do all day. They should really get up in the morning and job shadow us,” Eades said. “Our phone’s ringing non-stop. I’m a guy that likes to get to the office sometime between 8 and 8:30 a.m. There’s a lot of emails, phone calls to return. There’s practices to plan, there’s things to get organized. There’s video to review.” The list is never-ending, and with a regular season that runs from late September to the end of the February, it can feel like a marathon. Eades said that if they do well, the finals end in late May and camp with 100-150 players happens two or three weeks later. There’s always something to be done. Eades must be careful to avoid burnout. “Once your camp is over, there is some time off,” he said. “You have to pick and choose and refill your gas tank. There is a lot of hockey to be seen in the summer and scout.” Despite the ups and downs of life as a coach, Eades would have it no other way. He obviously has a deep passion for the game of hockey, but there’s something he likes even more. “Just the people,” he said. “I think that athletics is a great teacher of life, especially the sport of hockey. We’ve really been able to keep a high level of integrity involved.”

HOW HE GOT HERE Eades has an impressive resume. Here’s what he was doing before he got to the Force. Played at UND from 1978-1982. Played professionally for St. Louis Blues. Assistant coach at UND from 19841991. Head coach of the Dubuque Fighting Saints. Head coach of Warroad High School. Head Coach of Sioux Falls Stampede.

BERNIELARSON FARGODOME ernie Larson has many duties to juggle at his job. As the Assistant General Manager of the FargoDome, Larson oversees everything from changing the dome from a football game to a concert, to building maintenance, to parking and everything in between. Larson’s history with the FargoDome goes back to before it was opened. He was hired 23 years ago as a parking attendant and slowly worked his way up through the ranks. From events service manager to building director, Larson has played a part in almost everything the FargoDome has to offer. “I think the satisfying part of (my job) is there’s not a lot of jobs out there where you get to be a part of the entire process,” said Larson. “From the very first phone call of, ‘Hey, we want to come to your building,’ to watching the trucks pull out of the building at 3 in the morning and knowing that that 20-hour day was a success.” When a show like last month’s Shania Twain comes through town, Larson acts as the liaison between the building and the tour. He must ensure that the FargoDome provides everything the tour needs to run a successful concert. “The event coordinator’s role is to condense the information and make it user friendly and then distribute it to all the departments in the building so they can do their job during the event,” he said.

A tour like Shania Twain’s travels with limited personnel. They only bring people along who are essential such as the people who run the lighting and soundboard or oversee the rigging. The FargoDome provides stagehands, security, hospitality and a host of everything. For events like NDSU football games, upwards of 300 people are working at the FargoDome. With dozens of major acts that have came through the doors, Larson has seen a lot. Artists can be known for putting weird stipulations into their contracts when coming to a building. From artists who insist that everybody who works backstage must take their shoes off because they have a phobia of hearing people walking on concrete to ones who think they’re allergic to air coming out of HVAC systems so air needs to be pumped out of their buses, Larson has seen a lot. However, in his experience, there’s a reason those stipulations are added in there. “It’s been my experience over the years, is that the reason a lot of those things (weird stipulations) are put in there is attention to detail,” he said. “They want to know, when they come in here and they say they want one garbage can on the upstage, right corner of the stage and then they want two small garbage cans next to it, it’s been my experience that they’re putting all those things in there to test you to make sure you’re attention to detail.” As evidenced by the major acts that have come through the FargoDome, it’s obvious that Larson and his staff have passed those tests.

We met with Sara Johnson of

By Erica Rapp

Concordia College's Employer and Alumni Relations in the Career Center to find out the two biggest things the college is doing to keep their grads around for work in the Fargo-Moorhead area. 1. Working with alumni. Concordia has engaged with the GFMEDC to help support the initiative to get alumni informed about the opportunities in the Fargo-Moorhead area and to also provide services for those interested in a career transition back to the area. Johnson explained that she also has an event planned with Charlie Johnson from the Visitor’s Bureau to talk with alumni during Concordia’s homecoming weekend this year. “He’s (Charlie Johnson) partnering with us at Concordia to reach out to alumni who will be coming back to campus for homecoming week to just talk about why Fargo is great and what we have to offer,” said Johnson.

2. Active engagement with employers. As the Work Force Study committees will be forming, Johnson herself will be engaged with the “cultivate” committee, which is designed to help strengthen the pipeline of local talent to appropriate employers in the region. The college is also launching new technology for career opportunities and job postings and is also designed for alumni to easily use as well. Johnson explained that the college is actively involved with looking closely at job qualifications and matching it with potential candidates out of interested students. Other technology includes the Periscope app, which allows employers to interact with students on campus from their office in real time. “I think that basically the engagement of our students with the employers and offering quality internships is highly beneficial. A lot of the time it’s seniors looking for it, but if you start building up and pipelining down to the juniors and sophomores… it’s brand-building and awareness on campus for the employer and students can get the experience needed,” explained Johnson.

JAMIEZUEL WEST FARGO HIGH SCHOOL & FM REDHAWKS y day, you’ll see Jamie Zuel counseling students at West Fargo High School and by night (during the summer) you can find him in short shorts and sweatbands pumping up the crowd at FM RedHawks games. Zuel loves to interact with people, and it’s pretty obvious in all of his lines of work why he does what he does. Zuel is a professional school counselor at West Fargo High School and a superfan for the FM RedHawks during the summer. On top of that, he occasionally emcees local events and loves to entertain. Before he became a school counselor, he traveled with a group based out of Minneapolis called Youth Frontiers, where he went around to schools and “taught kindness to elementary school kids, courage to middle and respect to high school kids.” When he and his family moved to Fargo six years ago, he decided to go back to school at North Dakota State University to become a school counselor and has since found himself at West Fargo High School doing just that for the last four years. “I can honestly say for every day of my entire career since I graduated college years ago that I’ve been able to come home and say that my day was awesome,” said Zuel. It’s clear that Zuel loves people, which is the best part about his job, according to him. Whether it’s making large crowds laugh at the RedHawks games, emceeing a crowd during an event or helping out students in the counseling center, it’s all about networking and building relationships for this guy. Not only is he surrounded by people all day, they're people he enjoys being around.

A typical day in his job as a counselor can be all over the place because, according to Zuel, “One moment you can be celebrating a success with a student and the next one that comes in might need some help working through some issues.” With the counseling department working with students to guide them through career plans, academic needs and personal issues, it’s important to Zuel that he helps maintain a sense of community with the students throughout his day. “It’s also about creating a community here and making sure kids are connected,” Zuel said. “We’re a large high school. We always want to create a positive culture here, and I love being a part of that culture-building process.” A memorable day at the high school that will forever stand out in Zuel’s head is last March when the school had a staff theme day. The counseling department decided to go back to the 2015 Superbowl halftime show as their theme and reenacted Katy Perry’s entire performance in the school cafeteria during lunchtime. “I was Missy Elliot. I was dressed in an Adidas outfit and I was poppin’ it, lockin’ it and stone cold droppin’ it on the stairs. We nailed it, and the students picked our department as the winner,” remembered Zuel. It’s that kind of stuff, livening things up at school, that’s important to Zuel and why he loves his job as a counselor. The same concept applies to his job as an entertainer. Zuel says he lives a good life, and that he’s lucky to be able to do what he does.

STEVESTARK STEVE STARK PRESENTS, THE LEARNING BANK & FARGO FORUM ou might find him dressed as Theodore Roosevelt, or you might find him donned in a 1800s-era suit complete with a bowler hat, pocket watch and a suitcase full of chalk. Steve Stark is a local illustrator and history buff who is well-known for his Illustrated History presentations at local schools through the Learning Bank and is also an editorial cartoonist for the Fargo Forum. Being able to draw, act, dress up and teach about history for a living is pretty awesome, but there’s much more meaning to Stark’s job than that. “I get excited, every time, talking about these stories and these people that came before us. It’s one of my most favorite things I’ve ever done in my life,” said Stark. The story behind how Stark came to illustrate tales from history is a long timeline full of events and a lot of history books. After doing a successful appearance at a conference as Teddy Roosevelt in the late '80s, he began traveling the country doing T.R. impersonations, even finding himself on The History Channel as the former president. Following that, a mix of working with teachers in Fargo Public Schools, drawing out Bible stories for his Sunday School students, teaching kids about voting through a nonprofit, starting an outreach program at Bonanzaville and much more lead him to his Illustrated History presentations: drawing out historical stories with black chalk on a long, blank sheet of paper to go along with his stories of the past.

On top of his extensive background in the history and teaching sectors, Stark has been drawing editorial cartoons since high school and found himself doodling for various publications throughout the Midwest and now, the Fargo Forum. It is clear that one of the best parts about Stark’s job is working with kids. Children listen carefully as Stark recites tales of people such as Lewis and Clark and the history of Fargo, and stare in awe and excitement as he draws out the stories with a piece of chalk. Not only does he get to present history in a fun manner to children, but also to know that they remember him and what he taught them is extremely rewarding. Stark says that since he’s started doing Illustrated History presentations, not a month goes by that he doesn’t get recognized in public by a student as “the guy who does the drawings.” “I just love it. The kids remember these things. I couldn’t be doing anything better for them. To think that they’re really diggin’ history and remembering stuff is just so satisfying,” expressed Stark. Stark doesn’t just present to kids, either. He has done countless presentations for colleges, businesses and many organizations on their history and it always ignites conversation with adults about their own family history, which he loves to hear. The story of Stark’s career is much more than what can fit on a single page and is just as rich and exciting as the stories from history that he brings to life every day.

CHRISTIAND'AGOSTINO MONTE'S, THE BOILER ROOM & BARBACOA he seas were rocking the ship from side to side as Christian D’agostino walked through the hallways of the cruise ship before getting to the kitchen and finding everything lying everywhere. Despite their best efforts to latch everything down, the trip through Drake’s Passage by Antarctica got the best of them. But, how did this chef from Rhode Island end up here? Flashback to when D’agostino was 14 and washing dishes at a local Italian restaurant in his home state of Rhode Island. He decided to pursue cooking and went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., but ultimately ended up back in Rhode Island. He soon found himself faced with a decision that would shape the rest of his life. “When I was 25, I was there (at the Italian restaurant) for 10 years, so it was either I take on some ownership or move on,” said D’agostino. “It was a hard decision to make … I decided to move on and expand my learning … It was from there that I started working on cruise ships. … It was the best decision I made because I worked for three years learning every cuisine there is.” That choice changed his life as he met his wife, as well as his future business partner, Tony Nasello, on the cruise ship. Nasello convinced D’agostino to move to Fargo where D’agostino worked for Nasello at Sarello's in Moorhead for eight years. He eventually moved on and, with his present business partner Dan Hurder, purchased Monte’s in 2012 and opened The Boiler Room in 2014.

He’s not stopping there, though. The duo is currently working on their new restaurant, Barbacoa, in South Fargo. So, what keeps D’agostino always pursuing more? “It is daunting,” he said. “It was sort of the vision that Dan (Hurder) and I had in the beginning. That’s why we came together. There was always, ‘Oh, I always want to own one restaurant.’ We did that but we also knew that we wanted to do more than that.” As D’agostino opens more restaurants, he spends less time in the kitchen. His job has really moved from a chef to a manager, but he doesn’t want to forget where he came from. “I still want to be involved with cooking but there’s still way too many responsibilities at this point,” he said. “I do cooking shows. I do chef demos at the restaurant, fundraisers, meetings with people, getting ready for Barbacoa. There’s just so many different things.” Despite all of D’agostino’s job descriptions, there is one aspect of the job that he loves, and considering his new restaurant is expected to open in mid October, it seems pretty appropriate. “Opening up the restaurants,” he said. “As stressful as it is, the preparation for it is pretty exciting.”

About His New Restaurant According to D’agostino, Barbacoa will be a fusion of Tex-Mex, Texas barbecue with a South American influence. With dishes like barbacoa tacos, barbacoa burger, Smoked Chicken Wings with a Raspberry Jalapeño Glaze and Pork Belly Corn Dog with a Georgia BBQ Sauce, Barbacoa will offer a price point similar to The Boiler Room. D’agostino promises to have a fun and unique ambience like the eclectic Boiler Room. BARBACOA

porkgreenchili SLOWLY INVADING THE MIDWEST By Eric Watson | Photo by Andrew Jason

recently took a road trip to Colorado with my two oldest children. We covered a large portion of the state and within our seven-day journey we never stayed in the same town more than a day. We were on the move exploring as much as possible. While visiting my home state I was quickly reminded of how I miss the abundance of privately owned and unique breakfast spots in practically every town. And what do these breakfast joints all have in common? Pork green chili.

Eric Watson is the owner of Mezzaluna, Rustica and Mosaic Foods in Fargo. He is also the founder and president of the Fargo branch of the American Culinary Federation.

I had almost forgotten how common pork green chili is in Colorado and New Mexico. Since living in the Fargo area, I’ve become accustomed to not seeing it. I occasionally make a batch but, honestly, it escapes my thought process most of the time. I don’t think I can legitimately introduce pork green chili into one of my restaurants simply because it wont fit the theme, so I guess I’ll have to plead to other aspiring restaurant owners to consider opening a unique breakfast spot and create their own personally inspired take on Huevos Rancheros – eggs topped with house-made pork green chili with fresh flour tortillas and topping such as diced onion, fresh cheese and sour cream. I can’t think of a better way to start a Saturday or Sunday than with a richly flavored pork green chili breakfast item. (Not to mention, it makes for the perfect hangover cure.) 54 | OCTOBER 2015 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Pork green chili comes in many varieties. Coloradans are convinced that Colorado green chili is uniquely different but I’m not convinced. Most pork green chili dishes have overlapping similarities including the addition of tomatillos and a variety of different fillers, potatoes, pinto beans, hominy and diced tomatoes. Most recipes call for pork shoulder and, of course, you’ll need fresh roasted green chilies. That’s where the debate usually lies. What green chili do you use? Most agree that the famous “Hatch” green chili is king. However, if you don’t have access to Hatch green chilies then consider using a combination of Anaheim, Poblano and Jalapeño. These three combined will round out the flavor profile very nicely. Chicken broth is the typical liquid of choice and common thickeners are flour and sometimes Masa (corn flour). Seasonings include diced on-

ions, garlic, fresh ground cumin, coriander and black pepper. A splash of lime juice or apple cider vinegar are good finishers as well. Regardless of the style of pork green chili you’re preparing, remember to allow for at least three hours of stewing time. Caramelizing the pork is key and the proportion of ingredients is very important as well. Most importantly, use lots of fresh green chilies and fork tender pork. Just like any other dish out there, the recipe is secondary to the passion and palate behind the cook preparing it.

Can you talk about your background in the restaurant business? “I got my start at Doolittes way back when I was 17 as a salad cook. I didn’t do so well at it. I eventually moved to Spitfire Bar & Grill as their cook. I did that for about three years before I asked to move to the front of the house because I thought I would be better at that. After serving, I ventured to cocktailing and then I eventually started bartending. I left there and helped open up the Blarney Stone as a bartender and then I transitioned to the Beefsteak Club where I picked up on more mixology, because before I had worked in so many ‘whiskey coke’ bars. After that I started Pounds.”

What kind of drinks do you enjoy making the most? “Well, I kind of don’t like the idea of a pretentious cocktail. I don’t think you should have to pay $14 for a cocktail and it doesn’t need to be all of these outrageous ingredients. I know that’s fun and there’s a place for that, but I’d rather be more laid back about it and a little more creative.”

"the white girl" • 1 ½ oz. Svedka Vanilla Vodka • 1 oz. Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur • 1 oz. apple cider • 2 spoon-sized scoops pumpkin purée • Fireball Whipped Cream (Handmade) • Cinnamon

Can you tell us about the drink? “It’s my take on a pumpkin spice martini. It’s a basis of vanilla vodka with pumpkin cream liqueur and a homemade apple cider with a pumpkin purée that we make with a little bit of caramel and cranberries for tartness. Then, it gets topped with a homemade Fireball whipped cream.”

Why would you recommend this drink to customers? “It just think it’s fun. I don’t think drinking and cocktails needs to be too serious. It should be something that’s a fun experience.”

Mix vodka, liqueur, apple cider and purée into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and pour into martini glass. Top with the Fireball whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon for garnish.

For ten years throughout the mid-'80s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, Del Dvoracek donned a black suit, cape, wide-brimmed black hat, white gloves and ghoulish makeup. His memorable persona, Madd Frank, a horror show host based out of a Fargo television station, is being brought back to life 20 years later with a Minnesota fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touching documentary that looks back on the impact this wacky character had on viewers nationwide.

Dvoracek and his motley crew of characters starred in "Madd Frank Presents" on a local television station on Friday and Saturday nights from 1985-1995. Dvoracek’s Halloween-like character, Madd Frank, would introduce films with his quirky crew and was notorious for spoofing bad movies during commercial breaks. “I would tell people that the movies were so bad that they should turn the television off,” Dvoracek said. “But they always kept watching. I think our show had a lot to do with that.”

Lein invited a few of his friends, Dvoracek being one of them, out for coffee at what used to be called the Old Dutch Maid to discuss putting a new program on the air. “One of my favorite things from back in the old days of television at WDAY was an on-air character played by Ken Kennedy. He was a goofy Norwegian character,” said Lein. “On Saturday nights they would have a movie and it would open with the guy popping out of a coffin and introducing the movie. So in planting that seed, we threw around ideas and had meetings and came up with this character of Madd Frank.”

After scouting around for a costume with the local theatre and bringing friends in along the way, "Madd Frank Presents" made its debut on local televisions. Other characters on the show included Dvoracek’s now lifelong friends, Marty Jonason as Ichy Bodd, Dave Prentice as Billy Jabber, James Erickson as the Madd Programmer, Bill Flint as Phil O’Dendron and Judy Ray as Vanilla White. For many years, the group would star in the show without scripts until many of the characters eventually became writers for the show.

Madd Frank, with his trademark look and ghoulish giggle, became a family favorite. Dvoracek would do public appearances, especially on Halloween, and always

At the end of its run, the station tried to syndicate the show and make some money, but found out that the program had gotten onto satellites and people picked it up all over the country without paying for it. It ended up in roughly 40 states and in Canada, and nobody ever made a dime.

“The nice part is that when we got done with the show, we were so enamored with how it went. Everybody clicked, and I suppose that’s why it went for 10 years,” said Dvoracek. Horror show hosts have been done before, but never to this degree. Filming year-round for 10 years resulted in more

than 400 episodes total and it’s rare, even to this day, for a program to last as long as "Madd Frank Presents" did. Dvoracek’s portrayal of Madd Frank grabbed the hearts of viewers all over the country and continues to be remembered for his spooky antics even 20 years later. So, are you scared yet?

took the time to interact with his fans as Madd Frank. Keep in mind that all of these people made this show happen in their free time and absorbed all of the costs. Dvoracek owned his own advertising agency and taught mass communication classes at Minnesota State University Moorhead, but never profited from the show.

From The Director

Mike Bredon had moved to Bemidji, Minn., with his family in the ‘80s when he was around the age of 12. He was flipping through the channels on his TV when he stumbled upon "Madd Frank Presents," and Madd Frank quickly became his childhood hero. “It was so unique because he was breaking the fourth wall and talking right at you. It created this bond for

me when I was a kid and he basically became my first friend in Bemidji,” said Bredon. Years later into adulthood, Bredon had created a public access television station in Bemidji and started to realized that he was emulating much of what "Madd Frank Presents" had done. After some soulsearching in life, Bredon realized that he needed

Bars, Cookies, Pies, Truffles, to meet Madd Frank and thank him for being such an influence on his life and career. Detective work ensued to find Dvoracek, who had used so many pseudonyms during his career that it was tough for Bredon to figure out who was behind it all. “Everything that had happened in my life; it was becoming more and more evident that the Madd Frank show helped me not be afraid of the dark, to not sweat the small stuff and to laugh at life,” said Bredon. His digging was successful, and Bredon finally got Dvoracek on the phone six years ago. They set up a meeting with the rest of the cast to meet in person for a discussion about making a documentary and bringing all of the old footage, which had thankfully be digitally preserved, back to life.

“I wanted to capture what they had done in a glass box and show everybody else what I knew to be true. I wanted this to get the proper accolades it deserved," Bredon said. “I wanted to pay thanks but I also wanted to remind people that this is Mr. Halloween.” Plans for the documentary got put on the back burner, but Bredon took the past year to finally finish it with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign. The documentary premiered at the end of August at the Fargo Theatre, and Bredon plans to take the film to numerous upcoming festivals with added footage of the premiere itself. The end result is a body of work that is truly touching for fans and especially for Bredon and the folks behind "Madd Frank Presents."

SYNOPSIS Seventh President of the United States Andrew Jackson defeated the British, screwed over the Indians and took down the Spaniards all in the name of our country, but he definitely didn’t do it in the nicest ways. “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” follows the former president from his early life through his controversial time in the White House, debunks his reputation of a “rock star president” and unveils some of the not-so-awesome things he actually did.

ADAPTION Pace describes NDSU’s adaption of this production as a “punk rock musical” that will focus more on the evil things that Jackson did and the atrocities that he committed against the indigenous people in the United States in a revamped, rocked-out version of American history. “It’s the counter to what you probably learned in high school American history,” said Pace. “We’re going to be working in this production to make sure that part of the story is clear, that’s he’s not just this rock star president that for a lot of reasons gets ‘cultural hero’ worship.”

Pace explained that over the summer she was working with Director of Indigenous Tribal Studies Michael Yellowbird and Coordinator of the Theatre Arts Department Hardy Koenig to partner with the tribal communities in North Dakota and hopefully bring in indigenous actors for the production. “Our goal is to find ways to connect and fill some knowledge gaps and work on reconfiguring history to be a little more accurate and finding ways we can share that with our respective communities,” said Pace. On that note, another unique aspect to the collaboration is that the production will also have a museum-like exhibit set up throughout the theatre so that guests can get a glimpse of the historical context and references they’re about to encounter.

THE CHALLENGE AMONG

THE

ACCOLADES O

ur area has been making headlines for years now. Low unemployment! Great housing market! Best college town! Superb quality of life! Move to Fargo! While these accolades are great – and they really are – we can’t forget that we’ve still got work to do to keep this area, and particularly, the workforce here, strong. The Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo communities are fortunate to be experiencing incredible growth, literally, in every sector of the market. It’s fortunate, on one hand, to have over 6,500 jobs available now, but that figure alone creates great challenges for the business community. Having a low unemployment rate coupled with massive growth is great, but on the other hand, the challenges that come with it are not so great. Those challenges include too many jobs and not enough qualified employees to fill them all. As you might know, The Chamber and the Economic Development Corporation recently commissioned a comprehensive workforce study, along with the FargoMoorhead Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, the FM Area Foundation and the United

Way of Cass-Clay. The findings of the study were conclusive that a lack of workers exists in all business sectors, from part-time hospitality, restaurant and retail work, to professional fields like nursing, engineering and the trades. It’s a good problem to have, but nonetheless, a problem that we don’t want to ignore. Together, our community will embrace the good news of our growth, but we will have to work together in the coming months and years to attract and retain our workforce to sustain it. This will have to center around educating our youth and area college students to the great opportunities in the region, to conducting national and local outreach to educate others on our great quality of life and the range of employment opportunities offered in the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo communities. We know that this is a fantastic place to live, work and do business, with some really amazing companies right in our backyards. Let’s get that word out even further.

Craig Whitney is the President and CEO of the Fargo-MoorheadWest-Fargo Chamber of Commerce.

THE ADVANCEMENTS MATBUS has invested a lot of resources into new technology. Last month, three new buses were introduced. Two of these are in Fargo and are 40-feet hybrid buses, meaning they’re powered by electricity up to 35-miles per hour and anything faster is powered by diesel. The other bus is in Moorhead and is 100 percent diesel. The buses in Fargo came at a price tag of $645,000, but Schildberger hopes they will last for 12 years or more. These buses have a feature

While the drivers are trained how to do this in a comfortable manner, it can still be an awkward situation for both parties involved. However, the new buses solve this problem. “The most innovative feature in those vehicles is a wheelchair securement area,” said Schildberger. “… We are the first agency in the United

summer as a way to declutter Downtown Fargo by encouraging people to park in the public spaces and ride the bus. While the bus may not be seeing the number of riders per hour others would like to see on it, Schildberger is happy with what it’s done. “I think commissioner (Mike) Williams said it best, ‘Link is a MATBUS advertising machine,’ in a way that it really targets people that have never utilized us before,” said Schildberger. “When you ask how Link is doing, as an outreach effort, as a branding effort, it’s doing great. Now it’s about converting people who hear about MATBUS, hearing about Link, to get them on the vehicle.” THE FUNDING As is the case with every

government entity, one of the biggest challenges for MATBUS comes down to funding. What most may not realize is that 82 percent of MATBUS’s operating revenue comes from the federal government and only eight percent comes from riders. This federal funding creates a unique challenge as they continue to grow. “We haven’t had a highway transportation long-term legislation pass in about two and a half years,” said Schildberger. “We’re getting these piece-meal bills for two months, three months. I think the hardest part is with that revenue coming in from Washington D.C., not knowing from one quarter to the next how much we’re going to get. It makes it difficult to plan long-term.”

helping hand THE STORY OF TWO NDSU STUDENTS DISRUPTING THE MEDICAL DEVICE INDUSTRY AND MAKING $100,000 PROSTHETIC LIMBS FOR $400.

Bilateral trans-radial congenital amputee. The name alone conjures fear, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that threeyear-old Jameson Davis has to live with. He was born with no elbows or forearms. However, the Spokane, Wash., child may soon receive the help of new technology being developed more than 1,000 miles away thanks to several motivated NDSU students.

avis is like most other three-year olds: squirmish, active and happy. However, due to his condition and young age, Davis will need replacements as he grows out of prosthetic arms. He uses special prosthetics equipped with myoelectric, meaning little electrodes hook up to his biceps and he is able to close his hands and control the arms, but this comes at a cost. “There are several factors that contribute to the cost of prosthetics in our experience,” wrote Brooke Davis, Jameson’s mother, in an email interview. “Because we decided to go with myoelectrics, they are indeed the most costly. Exact numbers may vary between providers, but Jameson’s tiny toddler set was near six figures before insurance.” Cooper Bierschield and Andrew Dalman hope to change this by creating 3D printed limbs for children. (Bierschield was actually named a recipient of an OZY Genius Award, a $10,000 prize presented by the news site ozy.com.) With several prototypes built, the two are well under way, but it got started in an unlikely manner.

Jameson Davis was born without forearms and elbows. He currently uses expensive prosthetic arms that need to be replaced every year as he grows up. Protosthetics hopes to create an affordable option to 3D print limbs.

Bierschield is in his senior year at NDSU as a Manufacturing Engineering major. For their major, students must complete a senior project. After talking to his professor, Dr. David Wells, Bierschield wanted to create a 3D printed robotic arm, but at the same time, Andrew Dalman, an NDSU student going for his Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, had the same idea. The duo, with initial help from students Tyler Skeate and Mike Walmsley, teamed up and began their work, which, they hope, will ultimately become it’s own company called Protosthetics. “Our first one (prosthetic limb) is going to be an arm called a PAL, which is Printed Artificial Limb,” said Bierschield. “It is three degrees of freedom, which means it has an elbow, a wrist and a hand grasp. It’s for anybody with an above elbow amputation.”

90 | OCTOBER 2015 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

The pair decided to solve a real life problem by working with Dr. Wells’ grandnephew, Jameson Davis. After talking to Davis' parents, Bierschield and Dalman started tinkering. “We did studies and took some of his daily activities like eating a bowl of cereal, potty training and different activities like that,” said Bierschield. “We call activities of daily living. We found out that 135 degrees for an elbow was the proper usage for a child. That’s what we made out of this design.” Jameson’s first limbs cost $25,000 and will only become more expensive as he gets older. All of the material in the Protosthetics 3D printed limbs costs less than $400.

A Life Leading To This

In a way, Bierschield’s life was leading him to forming this company. “My mom, her background, is she’s a computer science teacher and my dad owns his own sporting goods store,” he said. “I

have that technology side but also that entrepreneurial side. … I wanted to take what I learned through my childhood and apply it to a real project.”

helped out pushing this forward besides us working on it. Fargo and the state of North Dakota are great areas to foster a startup company.”

Applied with a burning passion to help others, Bierschield and Dalman have gotten involved in the entrepreneurial community in Fargo. In fact, Bierschield presented at the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Chamber of Commerce’s State of Technology conference in August.

As they create their company, Protosthetics is learning from tech companies like Tesla, Red Hat Inc. and Sparkfun. Protosthetics will be open-source, which means that anyone will be able to go online, find plans for their project, download it and build it themselves.

Protosthetics has also teamed up with local companies Fargo 3D Printing and C2Renew. Fargo 3D Printing is providing access to 3D printers and C2Renew creates renewable plastics that can be used in 3D printing. In fact, Bierschield believes that being located in Fargo is part of their success. “We’re on month seven,” he said. “To get this exposure, I don’t see this being done anywhere else. Tons of people have really

So, why do this when it seems contrary to popular business convention? “At the end of the day, the basic answer to that is, people are generally more willing to help out than be … devious,” said Bierschield. “What happens is, when people do download that, they share information back with us. That’s all that we ask. What happens is, this technology grows so much faster than if we were to sit behind closed doors and develop it ourselves.”

Just The Beginning

Although Protosthetics has come a long way in a short time, Bierschield and Dalman still have a long journey ahead of them. With ambitious goals, Bierschield said he hopes to “disrupt the medical device industry” and Protosthetics is looking at what they have to do to get it approved. Bierschield believes that the device is a FDA Class 1 Device, which means it won’t have to go through FDA preapproval. They are currently looking at the longevity of the arms. The limbs are printed on the same plastic as Legos so Bierschield expects the limbs to last about a year, but can easily be retrofitted with parts at a low cost. Bierschield hasn’t forgotten why he’s doing this, though. He conducts interviews with Davis and his parents to learn more about prosthetic arms and the challenges Davis faces to continually learn how he can solve the problem at hand. “I love seeing him on Skype and seeing his bright smile everyday,” Bierschield said. “He’s a little ball of energy. I wish I had his energy.”

Last month, the North Dakota State University Bison football team faced off against the University of North Dakota for the first time since 2003. We knew that it was going to be a pretty crazy time at tailgating for the reignited rivalry, so we hit the West Lot of the FargoDome for some tasty food and a good time. Congrats to the Bison on their 34-9 win. Photos by Andrew Jason and J. Alan Paul Photography
