HERE ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A FEW COOL THINGS I LEARNED FROM SOME OF THE STORIES.

STAY SPOOKY,

erica@spotlightmediafargo.com

Flying On page 69 you’ll find out all about the behind-the-scenes work for NDSU’s production of “Peter Pan” this month. One of the coolest parts about the musical is that the cast members will actually be flying around the set. As a longtime Disney fan like most, I’m really looking forward to seeing the final product performed live.

FARGO-MOORHEAD

But what I love about Halloween also reminds me of something that I learned from interviewing the local musicians you’ll read about in this issue. Like many holidays, Halloween brings people together and you get this sense of connectivity from the entire city over

local events and dressing up. Maybe someone in a Batman costume spots their soul mate in a Catwoman costume from across the bar. Maybe two dinosaurs cross paths at a Halloween rock concert in town and become best friends. Or maybe families and friends experience close bonding over being scared to death at Acres of Terror or picking pumpkins at the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch. This similar sense of unity and connectivity over a fun holiday is something that you also see with the people here who share a passion for local music. And that camaraderie and sense of helping others is something that makes our music scene special.

The Best Ice Cream Sandwich Ever This month, I ate probably the best ice cream sandwich I have ever had at Fargo Brewing Company’s Ale House in South Fargo. I know that’s a bold statement, but one bite had me hooked. The ice cream is made with Fargo Brewing Company’s famous Sodbuster porter, and then they make the cookies–which are actually more like heavenly pieces of dense cake–from the same base malt they use to brew their beer. Read more about it on page 64.

ello to my favorite month! I don’t need to talk too much about my extreme love for Halloween and all things spooky because most people are already very aware (shoutout to my colleagues who are probably patiently waiting for November 1). Since July, I think people have sent me or tagged me in every single social media post, meme and video about Halloween and I actually find it quite flattering.

Fog Machine(s) We used a fog machine to achieve the live stage effect behind Diane Miller on the cover this month. But, getting a properly functioning fog machine turned out to be a small challenge. Our first fog machine apparently didn’t have a button to actually turn on the fog (we think) so our photographer Jesse got a new fog machine that had a malfunctioning alarm we had to make do with. We could only spray the fog for a few seconds at a time, obnoxious alarm included, before everyone in the office got sick of plugging their ears. But, the photos turned out great. It was a fun photoshoot regardless and Diane Miller was incredible to work with.

A New Contributor I’d like to welcome Kylee Seifert to the magazine, whose face you’ll be seeing frequently in our “Health & Wellness Spotlight” column as a contributing writer. Kylee is familiar with our company and used to be the editor for our former Stride magazine. Her column this month is about “brain fog,” something that many of you might experience daily, and you can check it out on page 60.

DIANE MILLER A Dynamic Inspiration iane Miller is a busy lady, but that’s not news to many. This local rap, hip-hop and dang-near-everything artist has made a name for herself in the local music scene, but it didn’t happen without making bold life changes, sticking to her roots and being confident. BY Erica Rapp • PHOTO BY J. Alan Paul Photography

In The Beginning Miller grew up in a household of music, so it’s only natural that she started to find her musical talents at a young age. She realized around fourth grade that she had a knack for rap and hip-hop music. She picked up the rhythms quick, could always recite something back in a flash and she had fun doing it. And for someone who states that she was a really shy kid who hated school, this discovery was pretty close to life changing.

“Rap music, at its core, is about empowerment, boosting yourself up and proving your worth. It gave me a little sense of empowerment, so I was always attracted to it. And at that time, I had never really seen other girls do it. I felt like I had this beautiful, special talent but at the same time I felt a little alienated too, because it made me feel different or like I couldn’t connect with people all the time,” said Miller. Finding that empowerment was something that led to the confidence 21

that Miller believes is important to being a successful musician. Along with not taking yourself too seriously and remembering to always keep moving forward, another important key to her success is practicing. “There’s so much advice that I can give, but I think No. 1 is to practice. Always. You’re not going to be great right away. I wasn’t. You have to realize that a lot of performing is having confidence on stage. If you don’t have it, you can’t sell yourself. When you really do put the work in, you don’t have to convince anyone. People can just tell,” she said. Mastering All Trades Although it helped her discover strength as a musician, that’s not to say she’s all about rap music. In fact, she’s in multiple bands that cover a variety of genres and she enjoys anything from folk music to indie rock and pop. Music is something that she understands, “not necessarily on an academic level, but on an emotional level.”

Right now, her main priority is her band D Mills & The Thrills, a sevenpiece hip-hop band with elements of R&B, rock and jazz that‘s been playing together for five years. The band writes original music but also incorporates a few covers into their live shows. If you don’t see her performing with D Mills & The Thrills, she’s also well known for playing in cover bands and doing tributes to famous acts such as Rage Against the Machine, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and more. You also might find her performing her solo material with just a synthesizer and a loop station. Although it may seem like she’s capable of anything once you see her perform, she’s quick to say that she doesn’t nail everything she does. “I don’t know if it’s my personality, but it’s just that I want to do everything. In some ways, that’s really cool because it’s kind of fun to be that jack-of-alltrades, but then I get worried that I’m spreading myself too thin,” she said.

felt so welcomed. Not to say that going back to a bigger city where nobody knew her name was difficult for her, but Fargo is where she got her start and the support system she built has meant the world to her.

Decisions and Change Last year, Miller made the decision to move to Minneapolis. The decision came from a combination of personal relationships, struggles with balancing work and wanting a change for her soul. But her ultimate goal was to spend as much time as possible writing music, exploring the Minneapolis music scene and seeing where she fit in among a new crowd of musicians. “I had gotten to this point where I was overwhelmed with work. I was in so many different bands and I was the editor of the High Plains Reader and it was just too much,” said Miller. “It’s so easy to say yes to things because they sound like a great idea and you know you’re going to have fun doing them. But that was a problem I had, and I have to learn how to say no, even though it’s hard.”

DIANE MILLER LIVE!

Minneapolis was a good change for Miller, however, she soon started to realize that the same reasons that brought her to move in the first place ultimately led her to move back to her roots in Fargo just nine months later. “I just kept getting booked back in Fargo for D Mills & The Thrills gigs. And then people would see that I would come back and I would keep getting booked,” said Miller. “I was coming back to Fargo a lot and then I realized I was doing the same thing to myself. I was spreading myself thin and trying to live in three different cities at once because I worked in Minneapolis, lived in a suburb and then I was coming back to Fargo every weekend. It took a toll on me, once again.”

“This is where I worked so hard to get what I have and what I’m proud of. I have a much bigger support system here and I’m proud of my roots,” said Miller. “That’s not to say I’m going to stay here forever, either. But right now, I have my family, my friends and my incredibly talented band members. As a musician, crowd support is quintessential. You can tell yourself over and over how great you are, but to have that backing of people coming out to your shows to support you is fuel for me.” Now that she’s back in Fargo, D Mills & The Thrills is working on recording an album and she’s doing solo shows and her popular cover sets every now and then. She has also recently taken over all of the booking for live acts at The Aquarium downtown. And of course, she’s getting much better at saying no every now and then for the sake of her own sanity, but she’ll never stop pursuing her passion for music no matter how hectic life gets.

PAT LENERTZ Breeding A Scene of Togetherness at Lenertz has been playing music in FargoMoorhead since 1999. He’s watched the local scene evolve dramatically over the years, and right now, he couldn’t be more proud to be a musician in this city because of what it has to offer. BY Erica Rapp • PHOTOS BY J. Alan Paul Photography

A Collective Scene Lenertz started playing music first with his high school band called Bad Mojo and has since been in more bands than you can probably count on your fingers and toes. But over the years, Lenertz has played with countless talented musicians, some to this day that were also in his high school band with him, and that’s something that he finds to be important to the local music scene. “Trevor Pearson was in Bad Mojo

with me in high school, but he’s also my current drummer for the Pat Lenertz Band and one of the drummers in The Quarterly. Matt Monson was in that band with me as well, and he also plays in the Moody River Band and The San Haven Chuckle,” said Lenertz. “Why I mention names is because, thematically, it makes sense. There are a lot of people who play together in different bands. We’re all a collective, which is part of the reason why we’re so strong in this size of a community.” 25

Lenertz has been good at keeping busy over the years, and has always been involved in multiple bands. His main priorities right now include The Pat Lenertz Band, which writes original music and is currently recording an album with Bitzer Studios in Moorhead; Heavy is the Head, a reggae band that is mostly dedicated to Bob Marley; and a Grateful Dead tribute band called The Quarterly that plays around four times a year. Although he dabbles in a variety of genres as a musician and you can easily find him doing many other projects, he states that his style leans toward music that is roots-based–country, rock and roll, Americana, bluegrass, reggae or Southern rock." If it’s got soul, a good song can make me cry just from the emotional connectivity,” he said.

here and that’s why I’m celebrating all of the strengths of each venue. Because I think we have wonderful things here and I’m proud of it. I think we have as good of a music scene as other towns that are a lot bigger, at least in certain genres,” he said.

Musical Camaraderie Lenertz stated that up until about 2010, his bands were very active in traveling around the Midwest, but once he decided to pursue an undergraduate and master’s degree and eventually came to work in mental health like he does now, that slowed down. But he’s perfectly okay with playing in the area nearly every weekend and being a well-known local musician, especially in Downtown Fargo.

A common theme that Lenertz talks about with the Fargo-Moorhead music scene is this sense of reciprocity and working together. For example, The Pat Lenertz Band is currently the Tuesday night jam band at Sidestreet, and they facilitate people playing together, no matter what style, genre or playing level someone is at.

“We are spoiled in Fargo-Moorhead because of the quality of artisans we have here. We are blessed to have places that build themselves around great production teams. There are so many places that are here with music in mind instead of it being an afterthought,” said Lenertz.

“What’s different about our scene is that we have a lot more camaraderie and cohesiveness about helping each other out,” he said. “We (The Pat Lenertz Band) facilitate people playing together, and from the beginning we wanted to have that attitude where all are welcome no matter what. You can learn from everybody. I think part of that attitude is what helps breed this closeness among the musicians here,” said Lenertz. And the closeness is not hard to see when you spend a night

He went on to describe some of the places that he frequently plays around Downtown Fargo such as Sidestreet Grille & Pub, Dempsey’s, The Aquarium and the HoDo, by noting them as beneficial to the music scene. “I will be a spokesperson for what we have

out on the town watching local bands. Lenertz also stated that his last album with the Pat Lenertz Band featured 26 local musicians on it. But when you listen to Lenertz talk about the energy that comes from his supporters and that in general of the local music scene, one word fits the bill. “It’s an everlasting cycle of energy. The word, truly, between musicians and fans and this whole vibe is connectivity. And I think everybody gets a piece of that.”

32 BELOW Building An Empire Tyler Steinle (left), Luke Nygaard (back), Bryan Loweree (front), Tyler Waslien (right)

28 | OCTOBER 2016 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

ountry rock band 32 Below has been building an empire in Fargo-Moorhead since 2001, which is much longer than what some of their fans might realize. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is how current members Bryan Loweree, Tyler Steinle, Tyler Waslien and Luke Nygaard have been working on reinventing the band the last three years and what they’ve been doing since they solidified their lineup together in 2013. BY Erica Rapp • PHOTOS BY J. Alan Paul Photography

Always Moving forward Yes, 32 Below has been making music for about 15 years. Yes, the band has seen a few lineup changes throughout the years. But the four current members don’t always have time for looking back and paying attention to the past. And that’s not to say that what came before 2013 doesn’t matter, because it most certainly does, but the band has truly transformed into what Steinle calls a “much better product” since they’ve been performing and writing music together as their current lineup. “The songs that had been around from the get-go had already become dated as Luke and I came in. It’s not like it was poor or anything was wrong with them, but as people get older and music gets older, it loses a little bit of momentum and value,” said Waslien. “Every band goes through that. When you play 120+ shows a year, you get a pretty good feel for what is working and what isn’t, and it just got to the point where we could tell those songs didn’t necessarily keep the attention like it used to.” And because they have accomplished a lot together, they’ve taken the opportunity to push their newest original music and incorporate as much of it as they can into their live shows, because that’s what has the highest value to them. “The crowds are so much younger, too. Some of those old songs were big eight or nine years ago and some of our fans were like, 13 at the time. So, why try to push this old stuff they’ve never even heard when we

could push the stuff they’ve also never heard that’s new from this group?” said Loweree. The band has been working hard to put together a new record since their last one was released two years ago, which saw great success on the iTunes charts next to famous acts such as Luke Bryan and The Band Perry. After releasing a new single called “I Wrote For You” at the end of September this year, the band is more excited than ever to release their new EP to the public on October 25 via iTunes. A Live Experience One thing about 32 Below that’s important to know is that while they do write plenty of original music, their live shows are a different type of rodeo. And it’s a rodeo that has many different elements to it, so you’ll truly see a little bit of everything all in one night. “Typically we’ll do a three-hour show with no breaks. We try to mix original music in with the covers so it’s a nice seamless transition. It helps to have that good mixture of original music with the cover songs to maintain that familiarity with people and keep that attention span reeled in,” said Nygaard. “We pride ourselves in writing transitions to go from one song to the next, whether it be an original to a cover or vice versa. We do our own spins on cover songs, but when you come out to see us it’s not always going to sound like it came right off the radio. We give everything our own flip, so that it sounds like 32 Below,” said Waslien.

No matter where you see 32 Below perform, whether it’s opening for the Eli Young band at Ribfest or Big & Rich at the Red River Valley Fair, playing half time at a Chicago Bears football game or even an NDSU football pre-game party, you’ll always get to see everything the band has to offer. Loweree said that no matter what they do and no matter the environment, they try to get the same message and show across. Credit to the Roots It’s no secret that the band has spent many years taking their live shows on the road, and at the end of the day they’re perfectly okay with always coming back home to Fargo no matter how long the drive is. Fargo is where their roots are, and they don’t hesitate to give their local support part of the credit for success. “The band spent time in Nashville, Tenn., and it was a good experience. We built good connections, but what we came to discover is that when you’re in such a high traffic, high density market it’s heavily saturated with bands and musicians. It kind of levels the playing field a little bit,” said Waslien. “When we’re up

32 BELOW LIVE!

here, it’s like we have this whole big playground to work with. Yeah, we have to put on more miles to get to areas to play, but having our home roots to support us and lift us up is always for the better. It was a more lucrative business option and better for the band in general to be in Fargo.” “I think a lot of the opportunities that we’ve had has a lot to do with the following we have here at home. I think it has helped us get some really cool shows that we might not have gotten otherwise,” said Loweree, reflecting on past performances and how they’ll be playing at an upcoming Minnesota Vikings football game in October. Whether their fan base over the years has helped propel them to stand next to major label acts on the

iTunes charts or get them gigs they never thought they would play, they’ll always say that one thing is crystal clear: without their fan support, none of this works.

Sonja Harasim is the assistant concertmaster for the FM Symphony

FM SYMPHONY Still Relevant After 85 Years t’s easy for an old organization that’s been around for almost 90 years to slow down and become stale. However, as the FM Symphony celebrates its 85th birthday, that’s not the case for this organization that is firmly rooted in Fargo history. Rooted in History After World War II, there was a shift in the world arts scene. Artists and composers began to flock over to the U.S. from Europe, increasing the exposure to arts in our country. Fast-forward to 1965 and former President Richard Nixon’s administration passed the National Endowment for the Arts. This endowment put a focus on bringing arts into all 50 states and marked a shift in the way that Americans thought about art. This long cycle of

events allowed the FM Symphony, which had been around since 1931, to cement its spot in Fargo. “It’s not that the federal money got us to where we are today but it was that we had a big cultural change in our country. We started coming of age,” said FM Symphony director Linda Boyd. In fact, Fargo is in its own period of growth, having really come of age in the last 10 years. In the last decade, Fargo’s population has grown by 19

percent. This increase means there has to be entertainment options for the community’s changing demographic. The symphony fills one of those needs. “When we have these huge professional institutions like Sanford Health that has to staff these huge hospitals and attract doctors to Fargo-Moorhead to live here, the first thing out of their mouth is that we have a great place to live,” said Boyd. “We have a symphony orchestra, we have a dance company, we have an 33

opera and we have an art museum. It becomes a huge work force retention tool.” In fact, Boyd wants the symphony to play a crucial role in the community. For example, since new Americans are an important topic in the U.S. and Fargo, the symphony performed a piece called “Ellis Island: The Dream of America.” To coincide with this piece, the symphony put together an exhibit called “My Journey, My Story” featuring photographs and writings from local new Americans. “We’re going to insert ourselves here and be the convener of the whole community,” said Boyd. “It’s using music to help our entire community express themselves in new ways.” Attracting A New Audience The symphony is really playing the long game to ensure its place in the community for another 90 years. Boyd and the rest of the staff know that in order to be successful, they need to be attractive to a younger audience. This is why their Urban Overture program is so important. This group is for anyone in their 20s and 30s. The Wednesday before any concert, the symphony hosts an evening of free hors d'oeuvres, wine and a talk from conductor Christopher Zimmerman and other artists about the upcoming concert. If that wasn’t a good enough deal, attendees can receive discounted tickets for only $10, a savings of $25. The next Urban Overture will be Wednesday, November 9 before the guitar and orchestra concert on November 12 and 13. “We’re kind of bringing these next generations in,” said Boyd. “Maybe our parents used to go to the symphony as part of a cool date night. We want to make sure that tradition continues.” The outreach program doesn’t stop for people in their 20s and 30s. There are also programs for college and high school students. In fact, there is a FM Area Youth Symphony

that has members in junior high and high school from across the region. World Class Talent It is important to note that every member of the FM Symphony is paid. In fact, many of the members of the orchestra are professional musicians with a large majority of them being professors at one of the three local universities or a teacher at one of the public schools. Boyd wants the public to know how talented these musicians are. “If you go online and look at the excerpts you have to prepare, and it’s behind the screen so it’s a blind audition, it’s deadly. Everybody on that stage has been auditioned on a super high level,” said Boyd. “There are a lot of good players out there.” It takes a world-class conductor to produce world-class music and that

is what they found in Christopher Zimmerman. After going through an extensive yearlong interview process, Zimmerman was selected as the conductor of the FM Symphony four years ago. For 20 years, the symphony has brought in non-resident conductors, which means that the conductor does not live in the community. Zimmerman lives in the Washington D.C. area where he conducts the Fairfax Symphony and the American Youth Philharmonic. While it was a tough decision to select Zimmerman out of 140 applicants, there was one thing that really made him stand out. “What put him over the top was that he was the absolute choice of the musicians who had a huge voice in our ultimate decision,” said Boyd. “We have some musicians who’ve won international competitions who could live anywhere and they choose to live and teach here. They always say, ‘He always pulls the best performances out of me.’” While comprised of community members, the FM Symphony is truly a community group with most of

its members coming from a 70mile radius of Fargo-Moorhead. And assistant concertmaster Sonja Harasim believes involvement from the community makes the FM Symphony truly special compared to other orchestras. “It is a great musical experience,” said Harasim. “The combination of music professors from the colleges and universities in the area, music teachers, along with wonderful musicians who might be in other job fields and the sharing of the musical process with our students who play in the orchestra makes the FM Symphony extremely unique and wonderful. Everyone brings a little something different to the orchestra, which enhances it tremendously.”

FM OPERA Not What You Expect

avid Hamilton, general director of the FM Opera, is astutely aware that opera can be a hard sell in 2016. However, with a push for a younger audience and a steam punk-yes, you read that right-version of “The Magic Flute” this season, you might be surprised to find that opera might be for you.

Fresh Takes Even if you know nothing about operas, you may recognize “The Magic Flute.” In this opera by Mozart, the Queen of the Night convinces Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from the high priest Sarastro. While it will sound like the Mozart that you know and love, the look will be industrialized steam punk. “That’s one of the points this year is to do some different takes on these real classic works,” said Hamilton. “With ‘The Magic Flute,’ we have a production that’s very much in the steam punk world. We’re doing a lot of the set with projections, which is kind of a first for us. Layer that with the phenomenal music of Mozart and everybody’s going to love it.” With a season full of comedies and relatable operas, the FM Opera is really pushing for those who have never attended an opera before to come to one of their shows. There will be a Christmas version of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” at the Fargo Theatre complete with Santa, hot chocolate and cookies. In March, the FM Opera is doing its take on “The Pirates of Penance” set on Wall Street making it more of “The Pirates of Finance.” Finally, in February, a one-act comedic opera called “Speed Dating Tonight” will be taking place at different bars and restaurants around town. While it may sound intimating

to newbies, Hamilton views operas as something vital to the community. “I think that there are so many options for people’s entertainment time but I think it’s really important we have shared experiences,” said Hamilton. “Society is getting so fractured and people are sort of staying within their own little shell. The more shared experiences we have, the more things we have to talk about together.” Adding to the Community FM Opera performer Jonathan Lasch has had quite the life. After receiving two degrees from the University of Hartford’s The Hartt School, Lasch performed and studied around the country before settling down as Concordia College's Assistant Professor of Voice with his son and wife who is an internationally known opera singer. After having traveled and lived in so many places, Lasch recognizes the importance of a professional opera company in Fargo-Moorhead. “Not only is it important for the community, especially because Fargo-Moorhead seems to be growing so much and there is such a diverse community, but you have more professionals moving here, people involved with the hospital and young families starting here. I think, at all levels, people are thirsty and

starving for good art,” said Lasch who will be performing as Papageno in “The Magic Flute.” “It’s wonderful that we have a symphony and an opera in a budding community like this.” The FM Opera has been adding to the arts scene in the community for the last 48 years. Like many opera companies, the FM Opera was first started by a group of businessmen and women who had a passion for singing. The list of performers has expanded beyond just community members now, though. Many of the performers are faculty at the various universities, but they do bring in many guest artists to perform. There will be six guest artists from areas as far away as Washington D.C., New York City and Pittsburgh performing in “The Magic Flute.” The chorus is often populated with students from Concordia and NDSU, which gives real world experiences to these budding artists, especially considering that all of the performers are paid. “It puts a little different level on things when you’re getting a paycheck for creating this art,” said Hamilton. “It’s just a little different than when you’re just a volunteer. That’s one thing we want to teach our students is that this is how you behave in a professional situation, this is how you’re prepared. When you’re getting that paycheck, you better be ready and you better produce.” 38 | OCTOBER 2016 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

FM OPERA LIVE! Hamilton wants to stress that this season is filled with accessible operas that would be perfect for somebody’s first opera. Besides, why not give it a try? “Opera’s an art that has survived for hundreds of years because it’s so good,” said Hamilton. “Everyone needs to get out and experience new things. Why would you not take advantage of everything FargoMoorhead has to offer? Give it a try, for heaven’s sake. I can bet you that you’re going to want to come back.”

Millions of Peaches 5.2% ABV | 15 IBU The folks at Drekker Brewing Company like to call this one something that "pairs well with moving to the country." The mild and refreshing peach flavor of this traditional, German-style Kรถlsh is the perfect transition into the autumn season while still being able to hold onto a little bit of summer sweetness. But there's something about the crispiness of a peach and the colors of the fall leaves that make this beer perfect for the time of year. Drekker Brewing Company

Green House Café A Tasty Destination For Vegans & Much More

owntown Fargo has a new option for healthier dining, and one that has been long-awaited by the vegans and vegetarians in Fargo-Moorhead. Green House Café is North Dakota’s first vegan restaurant, and whether you’re a vegan or not, everyone in town can enjoy what this new restaurant has to offer.

Try this

It can be hard for many vegans and vegetarians to go out to eat when it’s so easy for restaurants to lack in options for them. With Green House Café, the worry of finding something to eat doesn’t have to be a hassle. Not only that, but the café is a great healthy option for those who don’t practice veganism. After being vegans for a number of years and vegetarians for even longer, co-owner and operator Joey Hayes and his wife Abby– who designed the entire restaurant and handles much of its marketing–realized that there was a void in the FargoMoorhead restaurant scene. A void that many vegans

and vegetarians in the area have been struggling to eat around. “We felt like having a vegan restaurant here was important, and that there was a huge void. We especially wanted to be located downtown, because there are so many walks of life between all of the people that live and work downtown,” said Haynes. “On top of that, we can bring a healthier lunch option to all of the people that work downtown.” Although it might seem obvious, you don’t have to be a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy the well-thought-out menu that Green House

Café has to offer for lunch and dinner. While he hopes that the restaurant will open the door for those interested in veganism, Haynes also emphasized the fact that having a vegan diet is generally a healthier option and they’re working to bring that to the public as well. “Our food is fast. Fast food is usually pretty unhealthy, but you can

get items here to-go or we can get you in and out of the door in 20 minutes or less if you choose to sit down and eat. During lunch is when we have quicker options that is healthy fast food,” said Haynes. Haynes has a wide background in the food industry after working in restaurants such as Vinyl Taco, Rustica and blvd Pub and also being a baker for four years. From lunch specials such as savory brown rice bowls

or macaroni and cheese to entrees such as burgers, tacos, sandwiches, zucchini parmesan and paella to decadent desserts, Haynes’ experience in the kitchen shows with the variety of dishes on the café’s menu. In addition to baking and selling a few of his own treats each day, Haynes said that baked goods from Lucid Bakery are also made fresh on-site and available daily.

Mixologist of the Month

jeff davis @ Maxwells Restaurant & Bar 1380 9th St. E, West Fargo maxwellsnd.com

axwells bar manager Jeff Davis has been working in the bar and restaurant industry as a mixologist for about eight years, and knows what it takes to make a difference on someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flavor palette so that they keep coming back for more delicious cocktails. His sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores martini is perfect for the fall season and will leave you wishing you were sitting around a campfire.

By Erica Rapp | Photos by Paul Flessland

54 | OCTOBER 2016 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Can you tell us about your martini recipe?

What types of drinks do you like making the most?

“Well, my wife and I just went to Las Vegas not long ago and we had this awesome s’mores dessert, and it got me thinking that I had never really seen it in a good martini. So, I came up with a s’mores martini. It’s easy to make and it can look really cool. There’s the toasted marshmallows, the graham cracker crust and the homemade chocolate syrup. I didn’t just want regular syrup, so I worked with our kitchen and they had just made a German chocolate cheesecake that they had to make homemade chocolate syrup for, so I asked them to make extra to use for the martini.”

“I do like making a lot of things, but I think martinis are the most fun. Cocktails can be a little bit harder. Yeah, I know with martinis you shake and dilute but, when adding ice in cocktails and having that drink sit on that ice for such a long period of time sometimes, it’s so important to get that cocktail out to the customer before it dilutes and the actual taste of the cocktail isn’t the same as the second you made it.”

Where did you get inspiration for the martini? “My wife and I travel a lot, and wherever I go, I always like to see what other people are doing just to see what kind of innovative things I can bring in here. It’s just the season for s’mores and it’s getting colder. I always ask myself what people like, and people like sweets. S’mores is just such a classic sweet that people eat so why not make it into a cocktail? I just want to be different. And I hadn’t really seen it anywhere else in town.”

S’mores martini • ¾ oz. Stoli Vanilla vodka • ¾ oz. DeKuyper Créme de Cocoa White • ½ oz. DeKuyper Créme de Cocoa Dark • ¼ oz. Frangelico liqueur • 1 ½ oz. heavy whipping cream • Homemade chocolate syrup • Graham cracker crumbs

What kind of advice would you give to a mixologist who’s just starting out? “It’s about balance and not overdoing things. Do research on what flavors go good with other flavors. Just try to be creative, and sometimes that can be hard. Really put your imagination to work beyond its limits. It does take time and it’s a lot of trial and error. Also, get other people’s minds involved too. When I come up with a new drink, I have a few people try it to talk about what it needs.” Rim the martini glass with chocolate syrup and lightly dip into graham cracker crumbs. Pour all spirits into a tumbler shaker, fill with ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into glass and garnish with torched marshmallows.

TECHNICAL BRAIN DIFFICULTIES,

PLEASE STAND BY… BY Kylee Seifert PHOTOS BY J. Alan Paul Photography

BRAIN FOG IS A NEW-FOUND BUZZ WORD THAT IS USED FOR EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE… BRAIN FOG, FUZZINESS, SCATTERBRAINED. WE’VE ALL EXPERIENCED IT TO SOME EXTENT–THE MOMENT YOU FORGOT YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND’S FATHER’S NAME OR SOMEONE YOU’VE MET A HANDFUL OF TIMES–IT’S ALWAYS A BAD TIME FOR THE CLOUDS TO SET IN.

rain fog can be an unpleasant mix of many things and can show up differently from person to person. Ever experience trouble concentrating or forgetting simple things? Have you had difficulty communicating or thinking, confusion over something that usually comes easily to you, irritability, low energy, anxiety, struggle finding motivation or random headaches? These are all signs of brain fog. And no, it is not a normal day-today thing you have to live with.

time you were supposed to pick up the kids from soccer practice. Using the scenario above, if you forget your girl's father's name once, that’s probably a little brain fart–a bad one, yes, but just a brain fart. If you tend to forget her dad’s name over and over again, as well as other peoples' names who you should know, that’s probably a little bit more like brain fog. Whether you’re experiencing the somewhat harmless brain hiccups from time to time or consistent brain fog, one thing is quite clear: it is time to slow down.

Let’s clear up the difference between brain fog and a good old brain fart. A brain fart is when you temporarily space out and forget something important or very familiar to you, such as your address, where you parked or what

Brain fog can manifest in very different ways depending on the individual. Some may have hormones out of whack while some might be dealing with nutrient deficiency, sugar overload, lack of sleep or chronic stress. These all are

ingredients for a very unpleasant brain fog recipe. Over time, if brain fog is not addressed, it may lead to loss of inspiration and joy. Brain fog is no joke and should be taken care of as soon as it rears its ugly head. Brain fog can be controlled just as most other things in life can be through diet, stress management, sleep and activity. Since it seems we all need reminders of how important it is to keep these areas of life fine tuned, I’ll continue on. Diet: Skipping meals is something that we all do from time to time. It’s easy to get so busy that you forget you’re hungry or you just “don’t” have time to get lunch. Perhaps you think that skipping a meal here and there is harmless. If you need to be productive throughout the day, you have to provide adequate fuel for your body. If you’re trying to lose a few pounds, skipping meals is doing the opposite of what you think. By nixing on nutritious meals, you’re restricting your brain from receiving a steady flow of essential nutrients. Aside from that, skipping meals will lead to a spike in blood sugar, which in turn causes the release of inflammatory hormones, like cortisol. This can also interfere with hormone signaling–all things well avoided by eating nutrientrich meals throughout the day. Binging on sugar also wreaks havoc on your body. An easy way to minimize sugar is to avoid processed foods whenever possible. Inflammatory foods are another culprit

Fun Facts

for brain fog. Inflammatory foods are anything that comes from a factory. Even “organic” processed foods are generally going to cause some level of inflammation within the body. Locally and well-sourced meats and vegetables will offer higher quality items and lower inflammation. Grass-fed, grass-finished, free-range animals are the safest bet. Improving the quality of protein and fats in your diet and getting enough of them can potentially help minimize brain fog. Stress Management: Keeping stress under control is important when it comes to minimizing brain fog. The secret to getting ahead is truly slowing down. Think of it this way, if you are running at full speed ahead but have so much going on that you can’t remember what you need to get done, how will you be productive? By slowing down and focusing on one or two things at a time, you’ll get more done. Try it! For a few days, prioritize one or two things that need to get done first. After, and only after you finish those things, focus on the next two and so on. Repeat this each day and you’ll notice the change in productivity and stress. Aside from slowing down, meditation, journaling and deep breathing can all be quick, effective ways to send your stress packing. Try one or all of these before bed each night. It only takes five to ten minutes each day to truly experience a change. Sleep: Get your beauty sleep. Or perhaps it should be, get your brain sleep. Each day, you lose brain cells and each night

Essential oils are a great way to combat brain fog. Some essential oils that specifically aid in the avoidance of brain fog include peppermint, an instant mood elevator; frankincense, beneficial to neurologic health and rosemary, great for memory improvement.

we have the opportunity to grow new ones. The only way to do this is through a restful, uninterrupted night of sleep. When you sleep, cerebral fluids rush in and refresh your brain. Skimp on sleep and you’re sure to experience some degree of brain fog. Commit to a sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, shoot for six to eight hours, even on weekends. Activity: Exercise improves oxygen flow to the brain and boosts endorphins. It also minimizes stress hormones and helps to boost energy. When you’re struggling with brain fog, all of these things are going to be important factors in giving those clouds the boot. Beneficial physical activity does not need to be high intensity. Even a nice relaxing walk is a great way to clear the mind and get that energy boost. If you can workout outside, even better. Soaking up vitamin D can help give your brain and mood a lift.

Check out Power Plate Meals (1380 9th St. E, West Fargo) or Buff Bites (facebook.com/ buffmeals) to provide healthy meals when you’re in a bind. Need a little help in the meditation, journaling or overall stress management area? Check out these yoga studios for meditation classes or contact a lifestyle coach, like myself.! • Spirit Room (111 Broadway N, Fargo) • Five Elements Studio (910 Main Ave. Ste. 100, Fargo)

Menopause and pregnancy brain are prime times for hormones to cause brain fog. Be kind and forgiving to the women in your life who might be experiencing this-it’s out of their control.

Dehydration may also be a cause for brain fog. Bring that water bottle with you everywhere you go to avoid dehydration brain fog.

mole A Sauce As Complex As Its Roots

62 | OCTOBER 2016 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

ike many culinary creations, the specific origin and creation of mole is highly debatable. I think it’s safe to say that mole is a true Mexican dish but exactly who it’s creator is is a bit of a mystery. The most common story involved Colonial nuns of Puebla, who, on short notice, caught wind that the archbishop would soon be visiting. They quickly scrambled to scrounge up every ingredient they had on hand. Sounds familiar, because many culinary dishes involve stories of someone throwing something together

last minute in a frenzy with only the ingredients in front of them. I’ve always compared mole to American chili. Quite different in preparation and appearance, of course, but depending on who you speak to and in what region you visit, you will receive a varying recipe and ingredient list. Mole recipes and variations are as numerous as the ingredients required to make them. A basic mole may require as few as 15 ingredients while the more complex may be upward of 30 or more. It’s hard to believe that a cuisine so well known

yields 8 portions

recipe

Mole Sauce ingredients

¼ cup lard or bacon drippings 1 ea. medium white onion, diced 5 ea. garlic cloves, crushed 2 tsp. dry Mexican oregano 3 ea. guajilo or New Mexican red chile 3 ea. ancho chile 2 ea. fresh plum tomato 2 ea. fresh tomatillo 1 Tbsp. tomato paste

4 ea. dates, pitted ⅛ cup golden raisins 1 oz. pumpkin seeds 1 oz. almonds, toasted and ground 1 ½ qt. chicken stock or broth 1 tsp. ground coriander ½ tsp. ground cinnamon ½ tsp. ground cumin 1 Tbsp. dark chili powder 2 oz. dark chocolate, bittersweet

Preparation

In a heavy bottom soup pot, heat lard and sauté onion, garlic, oregano and chiles until lightly browned and fragrant. Add tomato, tomatillo, dried fruits and nuts and continue to cook. Add chicken stock to pan and stir to incorporate all ingredients. Bring to a simmer and add coriander, cinnamon, cumin and chili powder. Simmer until reduced and thickened. Place sauce in a high speed food blender such as a vita mix. Start on slow speed and gradually blend sauce to full speed. Allow sauce to process at full speed for approximately 30 seconds. Add chocolate at the very end and blend until fully incorporated. Remove sauce from the blender and keep hot until needed. Serve over roasted pork or chicken with rice, cilantro and shaved radishes.

for its simplicity and lack of pretense could create a dish so complex. A traditional mole can take several hours to make if made in strict accordance with traditional recipes. Most moles start with chiles, onions, garlic and oregano. Add tomatoes and or tomatillos, dried fruits, fragrant stock and spices (sesame seeds, cinnamon, cloves, etc.) or thickeners such as toasted nuts, tortillas and stale bread, as well as additional optional ingredients such as capers. Many moles call for chocolate but contrary to popular belief, it is not required, only if desired.

If you’ve ever walked through a Mexican market, you may have seen the variety of pre-made mole sauces available for purchase. A variety of colors, aromas and flavors. A mole for every dish and occasion. If only Fargo had such a resource for a tasty convenient take home dinner option. Well, we may not have that convenience at our disposal, but we do have the ability to simplify this time consuming and complex dish–a variation that works for a busy chef just as it can work for a busy soccer parent.

Fargo Brewing Ale House Inside Fargo Brewing Company’s New Brewpub in South Fargo

BY Erica Rapp PHOTOS BY J. Alan Paul Photography

ne of Fargo-Moorhead’s staple breweries, the Fargo Brewing Company, has expanded its roots with a brand new Ale House in South Fargo, right around the time of its sixth birthday. In the last six years, the Fargo Brewing Company has come a long way. You can’t walk into a bar, restaurant and most liquor stores in the city without

seeing their brews available. It’s widely distributed throughout the tri-state region, and constantly growing. Plus, it’s growing in more ways with the new Ale House in South Fargo being an opportunity for the brewery to reach an even bigger market. “We decided to have a second location for market outreach. Being on the north side of town–it was our only drive-to location and being here puts us much closer to a bigger portion of the market

production location. Douglas fir tables and custom-designed metal work create an overall industrial and minimalistic look that still maintains a cozier vibe. It’s still a taproom, much like the other location, but with more of a bar vibe. Plus, this location will have a bit more to offer. “At our North Fargo location we’re a little bit handcuffed because it’s a production location. The Ale House will be an outlet for trying new batches and we’ll be able to put out more interesting products,” said Krogh. “In my experience with beeronly places, we typically get an earlier crowd, so I don’t see us as competition to the other bars in the area. We’re still a taproom, generally speaking.”

with easier access,” said co-owner John Anderson. “We’re trying to get our brand out there to more people so that those who typically wouldn’t make that trek all the way up to the North Fargo brewery can get familiar with us,” said general manager Eric Krogh. When you walk into Fargo Brewing’s Ale House, you’ll see more of a bar-like atmosphere than that of the brewery’s

One of the most exciting and biggest features of the Ale House will be the option of food, along with full table service. Krogh described their menu as not being huge, but it will have “food made with beer or stuff that goes well with beer,” and items such as sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese plates and pickled goods. Overall, the Fargo Brewing Company’s new location is an outlet for even more people to get associated with the brewery and appreciate local beer. Plus, you can’t go wrong with pairing a cold beer with good food and a swell time. the goods

NDSU Theatre Arts Presents:

From The Director

Jess Jung

ased on Sir J.M. Barrie’s goldenage play of the same name and a script from the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, NDSU’s fall production of “Peter Pan” will be an exciting musical that tells the classic and familiar story of Peter Pan coming to find his shadow, taking the Darling children to Neverland and teaching the timeless lesson of never growing up—flying and pirates included. The music in the production will be quite different than audiences are used to hearing from the Disney version, and since NDSU is doing a special version of the original musical there are a few more noticeable changes. The first being a longer script and the second being the absence of the Indians. “Instead of the Indians, we have a reimagined group of ‘lost girls’ so to speak. It’s Tiger Lily and the Pounce, and they’re super tough MacGyver-like girl scout girls. And Patrick Kasper (Gasper’s School of Dance) is going to be doing the choreography and he’s really into rhythm, so they’ll be doing some cool stomp and tap dances,” said director Jess Jung. There will be actual flying, which is one of the most exciting aspects of the production. Jung also explained that audiences might see fun, slapstick comedy between Captain Hook, Smee and the pirates, and that many of the cast members playing the Pounce gang and The Lost Boys are all dancers, so the dancing will be turned up a notch. But most importantly, Jung expressed the importance of choosing “Peter Pan” for this fall’s production, and how it’s perfect for all ages. “There’s just something about Neverland that I think is so magical. You know, the end of ‘Peter Pan’ and the, what I hope will be, a calling to remember to stay young and keep imagining is so beautiful and I don’t think it ever gets old,” said Jung.

Sky

Forest

Nursery

From The Set Designer

Tiffany Fier

he most noticeable part of Tiffany Fier’s set design is the use of three large triangular column-like devices that will rotate to represent different locations, which is an old theatrical element of Greek theatre called periaktoi. You’ll see the columns change between the nursery–complete with Victorian wallpaper and a large bay window that opens for cast members to fly through–in addition to the sky and forest scenes. The transitions between settings will also be very strategically choreographed. “You’ll see different pieces that will be part of the pirate ship in one scene, but those pieces also might have bed covers and turn into the beds for the nursery. It’s very utilitarian and everything has to be reusable. It was about just how to make stuff feel like you’ve changed location but not moving stuff around so much, and having a smooth transition between everything,” said Fier.

A third party company will be bringing in their own equipment to make flying come to life. And of course, flying is a major aspect of the set’s design. “The tricky thing with flying was making sure that I designed a set so that the cast members don’t run into things while they are flying. That’s why the set is a little more open with a lot of adding and subtracting various smaller pieces,” said Fier.

From The Costume Designer

Rooth Varland

Peter Pan & The Lost Boys

“With this, I wanted to give them the colors of the island and make it look like The Lost Boys had made their clothes or had remade the ones they were lost in. I was told by Jess (Jung) to make them look like they’re having more fun than anyone else,” said Varland.

Tiger Lily & The Pounce

“Tiger Lily’s gang is called the Pounce, and they’re supposedly into cats. During production meetings, we talked about them being tough and close to the earth, but somehow a bit tribal. And I thought they sounded a bit like girl scouts, so they have these specific girl scout-like uniforms,” said Varland.

Wendy Darling

Captain Hook & His Pirates

“Hook is pretty straightforward. The pirates will be dressed in really bright colors because they’re more of the clown-like characters,” said Varland.

John Darling

Michael Darling

Nana & The Crocodile

The costumes for the crocodile and the Darling family’s dog Nana, who will be based off of the Komondor breed, are designed to maintain a human element. “The costumes won’t totally enclose the people wearing them, so it will be mostly on their backs and they’ll be on all fours. So it will look like a dog or a crocodile but it will also have that human aspect, almost of a puppeteer, underneath the costume,” said Varland 73

THE DISEASE COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

of discount

BY Greg Tehven

For many of us, we have hot buttons, topics or requests that upset us, get us on our soap boxes or put us in a state of pure frustration. For me, this fierce dislike comes from the disease of discount. It comes from the idea or request that I should give my skills or services away for free with the hope of exposure leading to opportunity. For many creatives, risk takers or innovators, this request can be both annoying and offensive. Lets break it down. For the last several years, my work has been around creating platforms, pathways and community in hopes of moving ideas forward faster. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been built around the idea that if we can bring people together, allow ideas to be shared, encourage support, then more great things can come to life. During this process, the visibility and profile of the risk taker is elevated and they are exposed to the community. In many ways, this is a great thing. However, the challenge comes when these folks are exposed and people try to take advantage of them. How does this play out? I believe it comes through the disease of discount. It comes when folks ask artists or entrepreneurs to give their work away

for free. It comes when someone says to them, "We love your work and we want you to help us out with XYZ event." It comes when folks approach the new coffee shop or store and say, "Give us this item for our next auction so more folks know about you." If the creative gives their work away out of generosity, it often means that the only opportunities that come that person's way are additional requests to give work away. For free. This can be offensive and frustrating. I've watched this happen first hand over the last year as my wife established her floral business. She receives countless requests to give her work away for free or at a steep discount. The frustration for me comes from watching my wife work hard to establish her business, provide for her customers and lead her team. These requests become a distraction and can lead to her feeling bad that she isn't giving enough. What can we do about it? I want to invite all of you to consider these ideas the next time you see a new business come to town. Spend + Spend: As your organization or team is putting together an event, find ways to spend. You can lead by example during your event. Emerging Prairie just hosted a fundraiser where we used a food service to provide a kickass meal. We paid in full. Turns out, this organization gave a very generous donation to us to support the mission. It felt good, as cash moved between both organizations and the partnership felt real and authentic. We felt good about paying full price and the donation led us to believe the restaurant values our work.

Bonus: The organization did not get hit up to give more discounts for all other fundraisers. Exposure is not the hope of the new venture/creative: As any early stage business or creative knows, there is a great deal of financial risk for launching something. There is also emotional risk when we put ourselves on the line to be judged. The purchase of our product or service is also a vote of confidence, saying that we matter. A few years ago, I worked with my team to put together a conference for an established professional services organization. The folks that make up this organization make very healthy salaries and are well educated. I must admit, I became very offended when we were working on the items for the silent auction. Several of the committee members were asking artists to give away their work for free for the auction in order to raise money for the scholarships for the trade. Why was I upset? These folks that make great incomes were asking a group of folks that need funds to support their craft and refrained from thinking about the big picture. Another way they could have approached the situation is to spend their money for the auction with the artists and use their resources to support the creative community. In the end, I think all parties would have felt better about their efforts. I'm grateful that the chair of the board took it upon herself to support our artists and served as a great example and teacher, showing how purchase power can support the risk takers. More money equals more value: The journey of an entrepreneur, artist, risk taker or creative is personal. It is filled with ups and downs. When we ask folks to do things for free, whether it be their time or their craft, we are forgetting that the person on the other side of the equation is providing value and needs to be recognized for it. In today's world, the currency we use is the dollar and, for many of us, it is connected to our self worth.

When we can be great customers and pay for the value others create, selfesteem for both parties goes up. More dollars move through the community and it creates patterns and habits for others to join. By paying for the value created, whether made possible by a barista, an artisan, technologist or organizer, we are tipping our hand to the person and saying, ‘We value you.’ It’s simple. Let’s pay for the special things that the special people in our community create. Share the risk: If folks are similar to me, they may take on projects or initiatives that are speculative in nature. My encouragement would be for the organizers or leaders to make this transparent and work with their partners to understand that things may go well. For Emerging Prairie, we often approach folks on new ventures and request a Plan A proposal and a Plan B proposal. We may not know if we can cover the full value and we invite organizations to share in the risk and the reward. A few years ago, I was approached by an organization in our community that has been around for 50+ years to give a talk for free. When I asked to be compensated for my time, knowing the organization was for profit and hoping to make money from the event, I was frustrated when they said they didn't have a budget and that the new event was a "startup within a big company." I declined the opportunity because I felt fairness was not considered. They came back to me and ended up paying for my services. I felt honored for my time and I believe their crowd found value from my message. We both ended up happy. * I believe volunteering is different. If people are interested in giving their time and talents as a volunteer, that is fantastic and should be celebrated in a class of its own. This column is about valuing the skills and gifts of those that make their living with their craft. There is always a time to give back and I applaud all of those folks that have the time and ability to share their services as a gift, paying it forward for others.

• Employers can post internship positions

“There weren’t a lot of job sites that were focused on just Fargo. All of the other options seemed to be expensive or didn’t produce results.

John Trombley’s 7 Benefits of Mediation in the Workplace

illage Business Institute Consulting & Training Manager John Trombley jokes about one of the great ironies of his job as a workplace conflict mediator, “If it weren’t for conflict, I wouldn’t have a job.”

Trombley is what’s known as a Qualified Neutral, which is a fancy way of saying he’s a licensed mediator, and with his background in not just workplace but also civil and family mediation, he’s seen a bit of everything in the world of compromise and resolution. His e-book, “Seven Benefits of Mediation in the Workplace,” is not just a tool he uses in his own work, it’s a great reference for managers, HR professionals and employees looking to gain some insight into the mediation process, should they ever find themselves involved in it someday.

Misconceptions

Mediators are judge & jury

Sometimes employees think I’m going to make them do something. Like they’re going to be forced to do something they don’t want to do. And, of course, they quickly come to realize that I’m not there to sit as a judge. Rather, guess what, guys? You’re the ones who are going to do the work. This is all up to you. And I’m okay with whatever you decide. I’m not there to judge that. My role is to facilitate a conversation. At the end of the day, I can walk away saying, ‘I don’t have a dog in the fight.’ And I am often times able to walk away, regardless of the outcome, feeling like, ‘Okay, I did my job.’ When folks walk away and they’ve been successful, they’re often times pretty exhausted. They have invested themselves emotionally and psychologically and if they can walk away with a list of items of agreement, they’re going to feel satisfied.

84 | OCTOBER 2016 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

4) Mediation offers a significantly higher level of compliance since the parties involved create the list of agreements. The reason for this is that it’s the individuals who have been in the conflict who are developing the list. And they’re saying, ‘This is what we agreed to.’ I don’t do arbitration. An arbitrator is like a judge, ‘You will do this and you won’t do that.’ And that would be the net effect of somebody else saying, ‘This is what you’re going to do.’ Compliance is much more effective when you come up with the idea and you say, ‘This is what I’m willing to do and we’re going to hold each other mutually accountable.’ They’re the ones who are in control.

5) Mediation provides a process through which participants are able to find common understanding and reduced conflict. We’re not talking rocket science here, but until folks get to the point where they actually own their own emotions and own their own view of the world and are willing to see from the other person’s perspective—whether they agree or disagree about the conclusions is not the point. The issue is: can you at least see how that person came to that point of understanding? And once we have that, it’s easy to identify: what can you do to keep from going there again? And that’s the list that they will develop. It’s invariably communication, communication, communication. When you think about any relationship— whether it’s personal or professional— the ability to communicate effectively and the ability to resolve conflicts

effectively are the two things we always look for in a mate, in a good friend or in a supervisor. And, invariably, when it comes to communication issues, misunderstandings are a result of false assumptions. Once a person has decided that something is intentional, it’s virtually impossible to get them to maybe consider that there’s another truth.

6) Mediation allows for the restoration and well-being of workplace relationships – there are clear emotional and physiological benefits to be gained. Conflict, stress, all those kinds of things not only take an emotional toll. They also take a physical toll. And research has shown that something like 50 percent of folks who have experienced conflict in the workplace have actually felt the physical implications and gone home sick as a result. That takes an incredible toll, not only on the individuals themselves, but on the work and teammates. It impacts morale, good order, functioning and so forth. The impact of conflict in the workplace can’t be overstated. In our world, we see how very closely related physical and mental health are.

7) Successful mediation allows people to focus on their work while not feeling like they have to be constantly looking over their shoulder. At the end of the day, when you’re not worried about the conflict that you’re having with a coworker, you’re free to concentrate on what you’re there to do, which is the work at hand. It’s a natural consequence and it allows the entire team to get its job done. And here’s the other part of this. It’s

implied but needs to be stated. We oftentimes think we can contain conflict in the workplace and that it doesn’t impact anybody else, but at the end of the day, the person who pays for it without ever realizing it is the customer. That’s the bottom line. They don’t even know that they’re paying for conflict, but they pay for it as a result of poor quality of service, poor product, delayed service, any number of things. If you’ve ever gone into a store or to a business where you’re dealing with somebody who’s grumpy behind the counter, then guess what? You, as a customer, are paying for that. Your experience is suffering and you’re also going to show that back to them.

that person and say, ‘Hey, maybe it’s just me, but when you said this and you did that, this is how it made me feel.’ Or another way to approach it is, ‘When you said that, this is what I heard. Is that what you meant?’ In other words, kind of clear the air before it becomes an issue. People will often attribute intent based on how it makes them feel. And we all do it. If you do something to make me feel good, I assume good things about you. If somebody does or says something to make us feel bad, a lot of it depends upon our own particular filter system. And we all have them. We all have a filter that’s based on our past life experiences, our families, our values, history, whatever those things might be. Our past hurts.
