by Rachelle Gordon If you’re craving Mediterranean food with an authentic, home-cooked flavor, Santa Lucia Restaurante in Fargo is a must-try. Opened in 1991 by Archie Simeonidis and his children, the restaurant originated in Thompson, Manitoba, Canada, where Archie’s family introduced the first location in 1974. Archie’s daughter Maria, along with her husband Geoff, joined the family business with Archie, and the three now operate Fargo’s flagship Greek and Italian hot-spot. Maria Wilson spoke with Shop.Dine.Live about growing up in the restaurant industry, her dreams for the future, and what she likes to cook at home. SDL: What sets you apart from other Italian or Greek restaurants in the area? MW: It really is the life experience in the restaurant biz. I was cooking, serving and managing at the very young age of 14. Being born first-generation (Canadian) to immigrant parents, I had to be involved in all operations of daily living and business. Because of this experience I have had and still have, is what sets us apart. Plus the opportunity to work alongside many great people, love my restaurant fam! SDL: What is your unique role in the company? MW: My role in the company is hands on day-to-day operations such as creating new recipes, new menu items, features, deciding on wines and pairings, working along side my employees fine tuning training the “Maria Way,” also back-of-house and if I still have time, my favorite thing to do is stroll the dining room and talk with our guests
“With many years of experience, we can insure you the ultimate Greek and Italian experience.”
SDL: What do you want the community to know about you? MW: Just that I’m here, I’m human, and that I still believe in the great American dream! I want every person reading this know that everything is possible in this world, but only through dedication, commitment and hard, very hard work.

SDL: What is your favorite meal to cook at home? MW: My favorite meal to cook at home is a juicy grilled ribeye with creamy scalloped potatoes, corn on the cob, fire roasted asparagus and Greek Salad. SDL: What are your dreams for the future? MW: My dream for the near future is to open a new concept restaurant where you come in, sit down and let us feed you. This concept would ensure the ultimate dining experience with no menu. I love to spoil guests and to wow them - it would be fun and exclusive! Wilson adds that the business recently celebrated it’s 25th anniversary, and the family-owned and operated dining chain doesn’t plan to slow down anytime soon. Fans of the eatery have been singing its praises for a decade, as all of the Santa Lucia locations have received the Consumer Choice Award and Best Pizza Award ten years in a row - quite an impressive feat. Santa Lucia is located at 1109 38th Street South and is open seven days a week. Tuesday evenings feature the “Date Night” special - order two entrees and you’ll receive a free bottle of wine. From great pizza to fried calamari, gyro sandwiches to cannolis, every day is a great day to visit Santa Lucia. Find out more and get special coupons by visiting: santaluciainc.com.

THE ULTIMATE LADIES NIGHT OUT by Kristin Johnson
Denault held a customer appreciation event for her clients at her private studio. Around 30 people came to this small fashion show, which was enjoyed by all. By the next year, her clientele had grown, and so did the demand for Denault to do something bigger and better. Thus, Pinup on the Plains was born. Last year, around 800 women packed the Crystal Ballroom to take in this “ultimate ladies night out.” It’s since moved to the Ramada Plaza Suites in Fargo to accommodate such a crowd. The group enjoyed desserts, drinks, gorgeous photographs, a live band, dancing, a photo booth, and the highlight of the night – the lingerie fashion show. The tradition continues, as the seventh annual Pinup on the Plains will be held Friday, Nov. 11 at 6:30 p.m. Pinup on the Plains isn’t just about going out for an evening of fun with girlfriends - it’s much deeper than that. When looking for models for the event, Denault purposely tries to stay away from professionals. Instead, she prefers everyday women to those who have gone through proper training. “We have women in the show from all over, and these are normal women, not models,” she said. “We actually prefer you to be a little clumsy and unsure of yourself.” Once on stage, these “models” strut their way down the catwalk in lingerie and sexy outfits, as they are cheered on by the encouraging, all-female audience. The energy in the room is indescribable as these ladies show others, but more importantly, prove to themselves, that they are confident and beautiful. Denault said it’s important for those attending to be able to relate to the women on stage. “They see women just like them up on the catwalk and think, ‘She’s my size, or height, or color. If she can do that, why am I so hard on myself?’” Many women who attend Pinup on the Plains for a simple night of fun have left as changed women. They come feeling insecure and unsure and leave feeling empowered, strong and capable. “There are girls who come off the stage wiping tears,” Denault said. “Women are moved. They had no idea what they were about to experience.” There will be a circus-inspired theme this year, but guests are welcome to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable (cocktail dresses encouraged!). In addition to the regular festivities, there will be door prizes, vendor booths, and a photo shoot package worth over $1,000 will be given away to one lucky person. New this year will be a limited number of VIP tickets.

CHANGE?
Though Denault never dreamed the event would get so popular or have such an impact, she is very thankful for the experience. “Women’s lives change and I never thought that would happen,” she said. “This was never really part of my business plan!”

What’s Your Fiber? by Wil Derringher of Renovation Systems
The most important aspect of carpet cleaning goes down to the fiber and what stains need to be tackled. Each type of fiber responds differently and each stain that is set is susceptible to either being locked in or being released permanently. Here lies the largest issue: if you don't understand carpet fiber chemistry, you risk locking in stains permanently. Renovation Systems has the training and technology to identify your carpet fiber. Next time you hire a cleaner for your apartment, ask them this very simple question: What’s my fiber? When you add the complexities of acidic or alkaline stains, ground-in dirt, trapped salt, pet hair or – worse yet – pet stains and odors, you are suddenly presented with a range of variables that could, if treated incorrectly, not only lock a stain or awful smell into a carpet permanently, but also damage the carpet to make it more vulnerable to staining, damage, wear and tear by your future residents.
“To increase the life of your carpet, protect your investment and keep it looking fresh for your guests and residents – make sure you do the research on who you hire to clean it, what equipment they use and their knowledge of fiber! What's your fiber?!”
Some of the basic science behind tackling a stain you may have even heard of in everyday life. Remember the old wives’ tale of cleaning a dried in stain of red wine on a shirt by using white wine? That process is actually less urban legend than one might be led to believe. As the stain is locked in through the original liquid element evaporating, the science of adding that liquid element back unlocks the stain and makes it ready for its proper removal with a cleaning agent. By just using the cleaning agent first on the red wine stain, the chemical composition of the stain structure changes and it becomes harder to remove. I was recently at an event where one carpet cleaner (from a national carpet cleaning business) asked one of the attending major flooring manufacturers why they had changed the dye process of their carpet. The gentleman complained that when cleaning carpets, sometimes they were extracting the color out of the fibers! The manufacturers answer? They haven’t changed the process – not in over 26 years!

A "Pile Lifter" used during the cleaning process readies the carpet fibers to be cleaned fully and unlocks the trapped salt, sand and dirt that dulls and damages the look, strength and longevity of the carpet's life-cycle.

Tailgating Like football, tailgating has developed into a uniquely American tradition. For some, enjoying the pregame camaraderie with other fans out in the parking lot is nearly as important as the game itself. Read on for some tips to help ensure a successful outdoor eating experience before the big game.

Make It Ahead Do as much of the preparation as possible in advance. For example, assemble Mason jar salads or toss together a vinegar-based coleslaw that tastes better after sitting in the fridge a day or two. Mix up calico baked beans or your favorite fondue and bring it right in the pan you plan to reheat it in.

Grill Your Veggies Hot vegetables are just the thing on a chilly game day. Skewers work, but tin foil can also do the trick for cooking your vegetables. At home, assemble foil packets with veggies of your choice, seasoned and ready to pop on the grill. Try a combination of sliced cabbage and onions salted and drizzled with olive oil, summer squash and bell pepper chunks with a taco seasoning mix, or for something a little sweet, sliced carrots with pats of butter and a sprinkling of brown sugar.

VETERAN’S DAY:
HONORING AMERICA’S HEROES
“Remember those that served: Some gave all, all gave some.” On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect. Even though the Treaty of Versailles wasn’t signed until June 28, 1919, the eleventh of November became known as the end of World War I. A year later, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words:
To us in American, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service with gratitude for the victory both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given American to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations.
Congress officially recognized the holiday when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926. Twelve years later, on May 13, 1938, Armistice Day was proclaimed a legal holiday. After World War II, President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved legislation to change the name of the holiday to Veterans Day in honor of American veterans of all wars.

Fast forward to present day and the group still plays over 45 concerts per year. 70% of the band are either veterans or have family members who served. The musicians range in age from the mid-20s to the early 90s. Despite age differences of almost seven decades, the level of patriotism shown by all members of the band is both unmistakable and inspiring. The RRVVCB plays a mixture of marches, hymns, polkas, waltzes, and even some Latin music. The emotions felt throughout the program come to a climax during the band’s final song, “God Bless America,” a number that truly encapsulates the fervent gratitude owed to each and every veteran.

A GUIDE TO AREA
THRIFT STORES:
WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
by Jamee Larson
Those of you that have ever been to a thrift store know the surge of adrenalin you feel when you find a “treasure.” A like-new set of golf clubs, the perfect chair to fit your empty corner, clothes that look like they haven’t been worn, thrift stores are a virtual treasure-trove. For those of us that don’t mind digging for gold, such stores are amazing. But have you ever wondered where the money you spend goes?
Dakota Boys Ranch: Lisa Olson Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch was started in 1952 to help at-risk children and their families in the name of Christ. The organization currently serves kids ages 10-18 that have psychiatric, behavioral, and trauma issues. According to Vice-President of Retail Operations Lisa Olson, there are currently eight Dakota Boys Ranch thrift stores: North Fargo, South Fargo, West

Treasurers. The store has a long history, having opened its doors for the first time in 1954 by a group of parents who wanted to speak up for their children with developmental disabilities. “The goal was for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be able to be a member of the community like everyone else,” explained Assistant Director Kati Nelson.
A friendly reminder from The Arc is another example of a thrift store that puts its profits back into the community. “90% of the funding for the programs (through the Arc of Cass County) for people with developmental disabilities comes from our thrift stores,” Nelson explained. The satisfaction Nelson feels, however, goes beyond dollars and cents. “It is rewarding to see someone with a disability realize that they are able to help make a decision about their own life,” she said. “Once this realization occurs there is no stopping them and it

is amazing to see that transformation.” The store also carries a wide range of items and the inventory changes daily. “The staff at The Arc Attic Treasures work hard to only sell good quality, gently used merchandise at a reasonable price,” Olson explained. In addition, the store has new sales every month that can be monitored by visiting www.arccassnd.org or the store’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/thearcofcasscounty.
Moorhead Thrift Shop: On the other side of the river is another staple in the thrift store scene. The Moorhead Thrift Shop opened in 1975 and has worked hard to help support the community ever

bring in a slip for a social worker,” Skyberg said. Like most area thrift stores, the Moorhead Thrift Shop relies on its volunteers to keep the store operating. Skyberg estimates that he has donated over 26 thousand hours. “It is a lot of fun and very gratifying,” he said. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the thrift stores in the F/M area. It does, however, give one a good understanding of the important work thrift stores do. The next time you are considering throwing something away, why not donate it instead. You never know who may be helped by your donation.

To Bag or Not to Bag?: THAT IS THE QUESTION
by Jamee Larson
As schools begin opening their doors, parents are likely focused on their child’s educational needs, things such as supplies, teachers, peers, etc. One area that can get lost in the shuffle is lunch. For anyone that grew up in the 80s or even 90s, school lunch meant greasy pizza, hard chicken nuggets, and dry spaghetti. Although some of the dishes tasted very good, nutritional qualities were largely ignored. It’s no wonder many students brought their own lunch from home.

Service Dogs:
Man’s Best Friend and Then Some by Jamee Larson
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” ~ Roger Caras In 1870, lawyer and former United States Senator George Graham Vest delivered his closing remarks on behalf of a Warrensburg, Missouri farmer attempting to recoup damages after his dog, Old Drum, was shot by a neighbor. “The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog,” Vest remarked. The farmer won the case and Vest’s remarks became known as “Eulogy of the Dog.” The speech is considered to be the origin of the phrase “man’s best friend.” In today’s society, canines are becoming widely recognized for being more than just loyal companions. In fact, for many people, the therapeutic value of dogs far surpasses the idea of mere friendship. Such is the case with dogs involved with the Service Dogs for America (SDA) program, which was founded in 1989 by three men who were inspired to do their best to impact the lives of individuals with disabilities. According to Executive Director Jenny BrodKorb, the SDA’s mission is to train and certify service dogs for individuals with disabilities. “SDA continues the rich tradition established by its founders of encouraging and empowering those with special needs by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support,” she said. For BrodKorb, the job is all about the satisfaction she receives knowing that the organization’s dogs are filling an essential need. “Knowing someone’s life is changed forever through the partnership of a service dog is an amazing gift,” she said. For those living with a disability, life can be challenging to say the least. That is where the SDA comes in. “Our dogs have very specialized training, education, and skills, developed over months of instruction by our experienced trainers and kennel staff,” BrodKorb explained. “The dogs learn behaviors which go beyond basic and advanced obedience so as to alleviate the struggles of their life partner’s disability.” Those behaviors include picking up/delivering items, finding exits quickly, bracing for stability, pushing call buttons, opening doors, and blocking/creating personal space in crowds. For SDA’s clients, the value of that support cannot be measured. “Getting a service dog changes a person’s self-perspective and boosts confidence as they work together to increase physical, emotional, and social self-sufficiency,” BrodKorb said.

| November 2016
shopdinelive.net One misconception many lay people have is that a service dog is equivalent to any other canine. “A SDA service dog is not a family pet,” BrodKorb explained. “A trained service dog is a tool and should be no more visible in public than eyeglasses or a cane.” In addition, service dogs are not intended to substitute or replace therapeutic or medical treatment and are not trained to be guard dogs or act aggressively. “He/she has a specific function to assist his/her human partner.” SDA is the only non-profit provider of service dogs in North Dakota and the only ADI (Assistance Dogs International) accredited service dog organization in North Dakota. “We are also the only ADI accredited organization actively

response and seizure alert), mobility assistance, and facility visitation.” Like most non-profit agencies, the SDA relies primarily on the generosity of its donors, which sometimes just isn’t enough. “It is expensive to breed, acquire, house, feed, train, and place service dogs – in addition to all of the other business related expenses (utilities, building, taxes, payroll, etc.),” BrodKorb said. “We do our best to provide funding assistance to individuals receiving a service dog from our organization,
