Fargo Snow
by David Scheller
It’s early morning in January. The first rays of gray winter light are now piercing the sky, revealing the clean, fresh snow that blanketed the city last night. It dulls the sound of everything, turns all the unbrushed cars on the street into amorphous white blobs, and highlights where every bird and squirrel touched the ground on their way around town. This is winter in Fargo.
Not everything has stayed buried, however. Those who had come to

popular eatery that was in what was then the Ramada Plaza Fargo Hotel. That hotel was recently transformed to the Marriott Fargo, a change that included a new restaurant. If you were a fan of Basie’s, chances are high that you will enjoy Urban 42 even more.
shopdinelive.net Urban 42 is a modern restaurant with a chic, trendy flair. It has been described as somewhere between fast casual and fine dining. Head Chef Tom Collins has been with Marriott for over 30 years. Originally from Baltimore, Collins brings an ethic he describes as “learn all you can and have fun doing it.” “I just like to see people smile when they enjoy good food and good company,” he said. The key change to a new restaurant includes a revamped menu. “The inspiration for the new menu was comfortable, modern American style with great flavor and presentation full of bold tastes,” Collins explained. “My personal favorite on the menu is our great crab cakes. They’re made with a lot of love.” General manager Jason Lunblad also brings decades of restaurant experience to Urban 42. “I started working for a private club in town when I was only 15 years old. I loved the fast pace and the customer interaction,” he said. “I knew from a very young age that I would make this my lifelong career.” Like Collins, Lunblad is excited about everything that Urban 42 will bring to Fargo. He believes customers will quickly come to appreciate the new design and atmosphere. “The concept of Urban 42 really matches the community which we are proud to be a part of,” he This really shows in the design when you first walk in and see the gray and black subway tiles in the lounge to the reclaimed wood on the floors and wall.” Fans of Basie’s will appreciate the subtle ways in which the former restaurant has influenced the new restaurant.
“We still serve our
longtime favorites like our whiskey and crab bisque, as well as our great steaks we were known for,” Lunblad explained. “We also added some great dishes like our 42nd Street barbecued shrimp, as well as some
Our menu focuses on globally inspired dishes sourced from local ingredients with specialties including small plates, burger & sandwiches, entrees, salads and flatbreads. We also offer an extensive selection of whiskey & bourbon, wine, craft beer and signature cocktails.

explained. “It mixes the rural feel with those big city urban touches.
fantastic small plates like calamari, tuna poke, and classic crab cakes.” Take a popular restaurant from the past and add a hip new concept that is community focused. What could be better? “Our whole concept was to create a destination bar that our hotel guests and local customers alike would love,” Lundblad said. “From our handcrafted craft cocktails to our local craft beer program, we wanted to showcase our local community.” Urban 42 is open daily from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm Sunday through Thursday and 6:30 am to 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. They also serve a special Sunday brunch from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm. If you have never been to Urban 42, now is the time to check it out. “I would encourage you to stop by and see for yourself how fun our concept is,” Lunblad said. He is confident you will like what you find. “Our number one goal is to provide a laid-back, fun environment with expert mixologists and first-class service.”

Lush Lola’s: Meat and Potatoes with a Twist by Jamee Larson When is the last time you indulged in a Drunken Pig or treated your taste buds to a Tipsy Cow? If you don’t know what I am talking about, then you have obviously never enjoyed a meal prepared by Lush Lola’s. A business that started in 2009 selling organically raised pork and eggs, Lush Lola’s is now a full-service catering company that specializes in creating unique, hand-crafted dishes for special events, festivals, and retail sale. Their most popular dish? The Drunken Pig! Lush Lola’s is the brainchild of Shannon and Jim Malzahn. Shannon began her food career as a child working in her mom’s concession business. If there was a major fair or festival in North Dakota or Minnesota while she was growing up, chances are Shannon worked at it. Jim has a similar wealth of experience in the industry, so opening their own food business together seemed like a foregone conclusion.

The Cotton Candy Co:
Sugary Bliss on Demand
by Jamee Larson
Who among us hasn’t enjoyed a sticky handful of cotton candy? Close your eyes and walk back in time. Picture the candy, usually in pink or blue, artfully spun by people that appeared to have a secret, magical talent. Imagine opening the bag and taking your first handful of sugary delight. See the way it stuck to your fingers, crystallizing as you tried to lick it off. Feel it melt on your tongue, sending an explosion of sweetness through your body. Are you there with me? Can you taste it? For many of us, the mere mention of cotton candy conjures up such sweet memories. That is usually where it ends, however. Unless we visit a local carnival or happen along some at a special event, cotton candy remains a memory. Fortunately, one Moorhead couple is trying to change that.
Jeff and Kaylie Risbrudt recently
started the Cotton Candy Co., designed to provide the

treat on demand and to “bring smiles all year long.” Jeff grew up in Fergus Falls, Minnesota and met

shopdinelive.net Doesn’t sound like a path that would lead to cotton candy. It makes more sense when you consider Jeff’s childhood, which involved summers spent working in his family’s concession business in Canada. “After having the business for over 20 years, his family sold the business but kept the cotton candy machine,” Kaylie explained. “Jeff took it from his dad in college and used it for a few events.” Although Jeff used the machine here and there over the next couple

of years, he never considered it a potential business. After moving to Moorhead, the couple decided that Kaylie’s time would be best spent as a stay-at-home mom, so they started investigating alternate forms of income. Jeff woke up one morning and knew their future was in cotton candy. “We never had dreams of owning a business, but this is something that we can both do at home together and on our own time,” Kaylie explained. “Concessions and small business have been a part of Jeff’s life for so long that it is a natural fit for him.” Both Jeff and Kaylie have a hand in the business. Currently, Jeff spins the cotton candy while Kaylie takes care of design and packaging, which includes colorful tulle on each bag. The candy comes in six flavors: blue raspberry, pink vanilla, purple grape, yellow lemon, red watermelon, and green watermelon. Unlike a typical cotton candy stand’s, however, each bag from Cotton

Candy Co. is personalized. “We allow customers to pick their own flavors of cotton candy and their own tulle color,” Jeff said. “We want to make our product as unique and as special as our customers are.” Sales over the first six months of the business exploded. During their first month of operation, the company sold 60 bags. Six months later, they sold 1,350. The Risbrudts saw nothing but continual growth as their business became more widely known. Jeff would like to expand the company as well. “Future plans are to make a cute cotton candy cart to be able to spin live at company work events and weddings,” he said. The Cotton Candy Co. is the only place in the Fargo/Moorhead metro area that provides fresh cotton candy throughout the year. It is no longer necessary to wait until the fair comes to town or to settle for the boxed variety, and you certainly don’t have to let kids have all the fun. Cotton candy is timeless, ageless, and now available with one phone call. What more do you need to know? Jeff and Kaylie are happy with the direction of their company and look forward to growing their client base. “We want everyone to know that we are a family-oriented business and are so thankful to be able to be a part of so many families’ special events.” For more information on the Cotton Candy Co., visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/ cottoncandycomn.

by Jamee Larson If you mention the phrase “unmanned aircraft systems” (UAS) to most people, will they immediately think of the stereotypes surrounding drones? Invasion of privacy is the biggest one. The other is that of aircraft used by the military. Although drones can be used to both of those ends, drones have a much wider practicality than spying on or attacking people! Emerging Prairie is an organization formed in 2013 to “connect and celebrate the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Fargo-Moorhead.” They are responsible for organizing a variety of events that support their mission including Drone Focus, Prairie Den coworking space, and 1 Million Cups Fargo. Drone Focus 2017 was held March 31st and again on June 1st to provide a space for entrepreneurs, business experts, and government officials to gather and discuss the rapidly expanding drone industry.

AXIS CLINICALS conducts clinical research studies in healthy men & women volunteers… some studies do allow current prescription medication use.
North Dakota at Center Stage in the Drone Revolution The conference began with opening remarks from several high-ranking government officials including Secretary of the Department of Transportation Elaine Chao, North Dakota Senator John Hoeven, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. The common theme running in the speeches was twofold: that the drone industry is changing at an unprecedented rate, and that North Dakota is at the forefront of that evolution.

“We are advancing UAS operations here in North Dakota unlike anywhere else in the nation,” Hoeven said. “Now that we have secured authorization for beyond-line-of-sight flights, it is vital that federal agencies are able to keep up with the innovations of industry and our state stays on the cutting-edge of UAS applications, including low-altitude beyond-line-of-sight flights and counter UAS operations.” According to Hoeven, North Dakota has been working with UAS since 2005. “I’m excited about the progress we’ve made,” he said. “We’ve made a lot of firsts.” The senator referenced the state’s Northern Plains Test Site, the first site in the nation to fly beyond visual-line-ofsight, as well as the Grand Forks Air Force Base’s work with the Predator and Reaper drones. Hoeven believes that the next new “first” will be in low-altitude product delivery, technology that could be used by companies like Amazon. “Let’s develop it right here in the Red River

Valley,” Hoeven encouraged. “We will compete with anyone, anywhere.” Senator Hoeven discussed having brought Secretary Chao to the conference so she could “see firsthand our unique convergence of military, government and private UAS operations. By connecting her with our UAS leaders, we can help advance the integration of this technology into our airspace and continue strengthening our leadership in this emerging industry.” The evolution of the drone industry is not without its difficulties, however.
Secretary
Chao discussed some of the challenges that will undoubtedly occur as drone use becomes more prevalent. “The integration of drones into our national airspace will be the biggest technological challenge to aviation since the beginning of the Jet Age,” she said. “Our job is to prepare the way for this new technology, so it can be deployed safely and usher in a new era of aviation service, accessibility, and ingenuity.”

How Do We Find Room for Everyone? Chao addressed the issues of privacy and the congestion of airspace in particular. More people than ever are traveling by air, and the addition of drones to this already overfilled space is an area of great concern. The use of drones for both commercial and personal use has skyrocketed in a very short time. On December 14th, 2015, The Federal Aviation Administration issued a rule requiring all UAS weighing more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds to be registered using a new online system. By December 31th, 2016, over 626,000 owner-hobbyists had registered their UAS. Since then, average registration has been between 5,000 and 7,000 new systems per week. The FAA forecasts that the hobbyist fleet will triple in size over the next five years, from an estimated 1.1 million units in 2017 to 3.5 in 2021. On the commercial side of UAS, the fleet currently stands at an estimated 42,000. That number

could rise as much as tenfold by 2021. Of the commercial drones currently registered, 34% are used for aerial photography; 26% for real estate; 26% for construction, industrial, or utility inspections; 21% for agriculture; 8% for emergency management; and 5% for insurance (with some overlap). As new applications of drone technology increase, so too will the number of UAS in the air, which could lead to serious problems. Chao advocated for the continued development of UAS technology “while maintaining the safety the public demands and deserves.”

Although the thought of mainstream autonomous vehicles may seem like something out of The Jetsons, they will become a reality sooner rather than later -- The Brookings Institution estimates that one quarter of all cars will be autonomous by the year 2040. It is an area of technology that the state of North Dakota is embracing. “We have a chance in North Dakota to be one of the smartest places in the world,” Governor Burgum said. “Autonomous vehicles are coming and we are open for business. We must embrace these technologies, because the future is coming faster than we understand.”

Snowflake by David Scheller
When Chelsea was a girl, she had a horse named Snowflake, a big, white, gentle creature with a pink streak down her nose and a mane like angel’s hair. Snowflake was Chelsea’s pride and joy, and she loved her horse like every girl who ever had a horse has. Chelsea brushed Snowflake and rode her and fed her peppermint candies and whispered in her ear, which Snowflake liked. The funny thing about life, though, is that when it finds out you love something it can at once conspire to take it away. It was only with good intentions that Chelsea’s mother sold Snowflake, of course.
This was in 2003, when Chelsea and
Snowflake were both teenagers. Snowflake went to live with a man in Northfield, Minnesota and Chelsea and Snowflake didn’t stay in touch after that. Like any great relationship, distance and time would still dull the affair until it faded.

explained. “It’s all about maximizing the process.” Protosthetics plans to become a major player in the prosthetics arena. “It’s a very interesting industry,” Josh said. “Two huge companies currently control most of the market. We see a lot of opportunity to disrupt that space.” Josh is also interested in building a company the community can be proud of. “There is a great opportunity to do a lot of good and build a world class company here in Fargo,” he said. “We want to be part of the next chapter of great companies in the area. It’s awesome being on the cutting edge and so rewarding building products that help people.”
Protosthetics began when Cooper Bierscheid and Josh Teigen combined their mutual passions for design and helping people. Cooper’s interest in prosthetic limbs began in college when he learned that one of his professors had a young grandnephew in need of prosthetic arms. The price tag was over $100,000. Cooper used his senior design project to design affordable arms. After graduation, Cooper gave up his dream job at 3M to pursue his passion for helping others. Josh, a serial entrepreneur and medical device consultant, soon joined the venture and Protosthetics was born. They started out in Barnesville, working in the basement of a former church and then under a dance studio before moving to Fargo in early 2017.

of years. There is only one distillery, however, and it’s owned by Joel Kath. Proof Artisan Distillers, located in historic downtown Fargo,
• Sand Volleyball Court
opened its doors in September of 2015. It has since provided visitors with the unique opportunity to tour a distillery in action as well as sample distilled spirits that have been produced from local products. Currently, Proof produces vodka, gin, whiskey, bourbon, and liqueurs made from local produce like potatoes, barley, and corn. Their products can be found at more than 400 locations around the state. Unlike most distilleries, however, Proof is also approved to serve food, something you will find at only a handful of distilleries across the county.
PROPERTY RESOURCES GROUP
The back of the distillery is where the production takes place. The front is the tasting room, which is where Chef Judd Eskildsen comes in. Judd was hired as executive chef for the tasting room a month before Proof went live. “When the tasting room opened, my job was to keep people in their seats,” he explained. In the summer of 2016, Judd was promoted to general manager, executive chef, and events coordinator. “Basically, anything that happens in the tasting room, except for the cocktail menu, is under my direction.” Judd created a culinary style that he calls “New American Tapas,” fashioned specifically for the way he feels a night at Proof should be. “Basically, it’s the small plate concept, but for a group of four or so.

We’re not the type of place where the bartenders read lips and splash ingredients in a plastic cup,” Judd explained. “It’s all about enjoying high-end spirits in a responsible, casual, and fun environment. Large plates tend to quiet guests, but for the most part Midwesterners aren’t really into tiny bits of food.”
shopdinelive.net Judd’s New American Tapas is his way of turning the higher-end dining experience into a very social, casual eating and drinking experience. “In addition to the tapas menu, I serve a few entrees and a weekly feature that could be anything from a fusion of cioppino and paella, fresh pasta, the freshest fish in town, or Southwest style street tacos,” he said. Judd has always had an interest in cooking. “My desire to become a chef came around the time I was old enough to stay at home alone in the summer while school was out,”
GREAT MOVE-IN
he said. “I’d wake up, and nothing great would be on TV. Soon I was fascinated by Emeril Lagasse, Alton Brown, Mario Batali, and Martin Yan.” Although Judd initially

chose a different career path, he eventually found his way back to the kitchen. “If you’re a cook in the area, there’s no way you’ll live comfortably unless you’re at the top, so I put my blinders on and put in work trying to be the absolute best I could be.”
BRANDT PLACE APARTMENT HOMES
Judd credits owner Joel with making Proof a one-ofa-kind business. “Something that sets Proof apart is the all-around passion and drive for greatness that comes from our president Joel all the way to the crew members in the front and back of the house,” Judd explained. “I’m not sure anybody could find a better

group of such highly motivated people.” Judd would like to remind everyone that Proof is not your average restaurant or bar. “Many times, people forget that Proof is a distillery and that the tasting room is much like a tap house in a brewery. We’re not a bar; we’re not a restaurant. Our business thrives by having other

bars and businesses pouring our products as well as getting people to buy them from a liquor store,” he explained. “We’re here to promote our brand and have a good time doing it, not to compete with other bars and restaurants.” More information about Proof Artisan Distillers can be found at proofdistillers.com.

If you’ve posted something that causes a ruckus and you don’t want to deal with damage control, there’s no shame in deleting it. You can follow up with a “Sorry for my post earlier -- the world is full of enough negativity, and I don’t want to add to it!” If you must get involved, don’t be too hasty. Proofread your responses carefully, and look up words if you’re not sure how to use them correctly. Nothing destroys your credibility on the internet like an improper use of “too,” “to,” and “two.” Use thoughtful language that acknowledges the other party’s position, and keep in mind that these kinds of conversation can get really emotional really fast. Keeping your cool will help foster a calm, intellectual environment.
