It’s more than a QR code:

The Morning Moose is the answer. Answer to what you may ask? Well, to the age old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg? It was neither. It was the Morning Moose. The classic breakfast sandwich.

Common side effects of enjoying the Morning Moose have been poor hygiene, unemployment, and constant tardiness. How can a breakfast sandwich lead to all of these things? Well, it’s served ALL DAY so you no longer have to wake up on time for any of those other pesky things.

First we wake up way earlier than you so that we can be ready to make you a delicious breakfast sandwich by the time you get here. Then we scramble real eggs on the griddle with your ham, bacon, or sausage. When the eggs are perfectly cooked, we place them onto your choice of bagel, Kaiser roll, or tortilla and melt sliced cheddar over the whole shabang. Basically, it’s the dream you were having in bed, except it’s real, and you need a napkin.

Stop into the NEW Smiling Moose Deli at 2877 45th St. South in Fargo and try a Morning Moose of your own today!

Addyng up.What are the Addy Awards you ask? They are awards distributed to outstanding

creative productions in the advertising industry. This year we took home

the gold in Magazine Design of the Year, Magazine Article of the Year

and Magazine Cover Design of the Year. On top of it all, 12 of my team

members were able to celebrate the ceremony with me and I couldn’t

have been more proud of everyone. These pieces of work will now be

automatically entered into the national competition. Here’s hoping

we find ourselves with some national recognition!

On another note, Spotlight Media turns three this month. It’s

crazy how fast this company has evolved. Now we publish

four magazines and print over 500,000 per year. All

sprouting from a small 5” x 5”, 36 page magazine with one

person. I can’t begin to thank everyone who has helped

me along the way. Now to the next chapter: expansion,

development, subscriptions, digital publishing and

more.

As for this issue, I hope you really use the business guide

we constructed. I think it’s one of the most under exposed

areas as far as resources go. Enjoy and thanks for reading.

We took home three gold Addy Awards and two silver awards this year!

UNIQUEUNIQUELOOKING FOR SOME GOOD FOOD?

Bison Balls Lettuce Wraps

Maxwells Restaurant & BarKnown for its fantastic wine, dining experience and Sunday brunches, Maxwells also has a great dinner and bar menu. The Bison Balls come out soaking in a sweet and garlicky vermouth cream sauce with crimini mushrooms and topped with parmesan cheese. The meatballs have a great flavor, being a little sweet with worcestershire and a little kick with sambal. On the off chance that there is any sauce leftover, use the grilled ciabatta to soak up the last drops.

Lucky’s 13 PubIf you need a break from the mall or just a great place to catch up with friends, head over to Lucky’s 13 Pub, nestled behind the Ramada Inn. When you go, don’t even bother with a menu and just ask for their amazing lettuce wraps. Diced chicken in teriyaki and garlic mixed with jicama, topped with shredded carrots and tortilla chips make this a South American/Mexican influenced treat.

There is an abundance of great restaurants throughout the

city. The hard part is trying to figure out where to eat--and

more importantly, what to eat--so you don’t get stuck on the

same dish night after night, no matter how delicious it may

be. Check out some of our choices for the best dishes, from

flaming appetizers to the gooey dessert at the end.

Santa Lucia RestauranteSanta Lucia’s food will make you scream out “Opa!” in your best Greek accent. This authentic Greek restaurant was started by two Greek immigrants back in 1970 and they’ve been cooking up the highest quality Greek food since. One of their most popular dishes, especially to share as an appetizer, is their saganaki. If you like a bit of excitement at the start of your meal, this is the perfect dish to try. The saganaki is fried caprese cheese that is prepared in a frying pan and lit on fire at your table. The cheese comes out of the flames bubbling and gooey, ready to be devoured. 1109 38th St. SW, Fargo 701-214-6373 santaluciainc.com

Old ChicagoThis is the perfect dessert after chowing down on one of Old Chicago’s delicious pizzas. The Big Cookie is made with oatmeal that is finely ground and put into the batter. Once they throw in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, you’ll think you’ve died and gone to Heaven. Ask for it a la mode for an extra buck or take it to go and enjoy with a nice big glass of ice cold milk. If you’re too full to enjoy a large size, individual 6 inch cookies are also available.

MezzalunaOne of Mezzaluna’s best dishes is fit for a king but can be bought on a peasant’s wage. The chicken is stuffed with spicy chorizo and wrapped in juicy bacon with a fresh demi-glace and honey date chutney. Pair it with their decadent mascarpone mashed potatoes and you won’t be sorry. Finish the meal with a bottle of Gordon Estate Syrah to complement the savory spices throughout the dish.

This six member band incorporates eight different

instruments, singing and dancing to create the

perfect party atmosphere. For the Bush/Irish band,

Poitin, celebrating their Irish and Metis heritage

is best done through their music. While many of

us only turn our thoughts to the Irish tradition

each year on March 17, these band members

devote themselves weekly to reviving that happy

go lucky Irish spirit. While the Irish are known

for being fun-loving and the life of the party, the

history behind their heritage and music has a less

commonly known side that is all but joyful.

We celebrate life, friendship, heritage and music with the band,

St. Patrick’s DayEvery March 17, we bring out the shamrocks, leprechauns,

luck of the Irish, green beer and Irish jigs in honor of

celebrating our favorite party holiday, St. Patrick’s Day.

However, do we really know what it is we are dedicating

this day to? The Irish have been celebrating this holiday

for over 1,000 years. It is in honor of the Saint Patrick’s

religious feast day, as well as, his death. So hold up that

green beer and give a quick toast to the Saint himself!

Time Travel Back to the 1600’sThe Irish and Metis history is rich with oppression, slav-

ery, struggle and strength. Based off of the well-known

Irish jigs, this may come as a surprise. Jim Haney

(singer, mandolin and guitar player) shared a joke, “To

be Irish is to have an abiding sense of tragedy, which

As we dive into the history of the music and ancestry of Poitin, let us define a few terms that may be unfamiliar.

Poitín (poy-cheen) — An illicit spirit in Ireland, often distilled from potatoes.

Métis (may-tee) — “Mixed Blood- Children and descendants of French, Irish and Scottish fur traders who settled in the Red River Valley and mated with native women from various local tribes.

Bush Music — Early Metis settlers would escape the windy winter nights on the prairie by finding wooded areas and dance the night away while they played their fiddles.



Poitin!The band originated back in 2001 and

first debuted at O’Leary’s Pub on New

Years Eve. They have gone through a few

different members until they achieved

their most current lineup in 2007, with

the exception of adding their drummer,

Lance Tessmann, in 2012. They have be-

come known as Dempsey’s house band

and FM’s favorite Irish band. Potin’s

song list consists of 200 songs that are

retrieved from various ages and stages

of the Irish and Metis history. “It is tre-

mendous to play music that is so power-

ful to our heritage,” exclaimed Bonnie

Haney. (Singer and Irish drum player)

sustains you through temporary bouts of joy

and happiness.” The Irish were the first to

be oppressed by the British empire for about

800 years. They translated their oppression

through their music. Once the Irish, French

and Scottish fur traders settled in the Red

River Valley and became the Metis people,

they brought their music traditions with them

and they eventually evolved into jigs. The

Metis people’s anthem is known as the “The

Big Jig” or the “Red River Valley Jig.” This

music became known as Bush music. While

this Metis music is very different from Irish

music, it still holds many similarities and

therefore, was a natural fit to Poitin’s play set.

Step into the Fargo Brewing Company’s new brewery and there’s not much to see. In fact, the four founders, Chris Anderson, Jared Hardy, John Anderson and Aaron Hill, had to scour their new building to find enough chairs for the interview. They have been looking for a building that they could call home for their brewery for close to a year and finally were able to find the perfect spot. We toured their new set-up the day after they closed on their new brewery. This is what the next big thing for the Fargo Brewing Company looks like.

A taproom?

The boys at the Fargo Brewing Company have plenty of space to create an empire. Roughly 21,000 square feet. It is located just north of Downtown Fargo at 610 University N. They have a lot of work ahead of them as they hope to have their brewery up and running in roughly six months. When they’re fully functional, they want to produce around 4,000 barrels per year and have five styles of beer available year round.

One day, they hope to open the front of their warehouse into a taproom where people can come and sample their beers. This will allow them to have face-to-face interaction with their customers and receive feedback on their products.

Currently, the Fargo Brewing Company has three beers. Their Stone’s Throw (a Scottish Ale), Wood Chipper (an IPA) and Northbound Porter. When they’re up and running they want to have five year round beers; adding a Pale Ale and a Kölsch beer. Throughout the year, they also produce different seasonals and hope to have a wider selection throughout the year.

Chris ANderson

CHRIS ANDERSON is the brewmaster. He keeps a notebook next to his bed where he writes down ideas for his next great beer. Chris’ job is to come up with the recipes for the beers and make sure everything is going to plan. As part of his job he must order all their grains, malt, barley and any other necessary ingredients. In fact, they hope to order many of those ingredients from North Dakota suppliers. Depending on the type of beer, Chris may order 800 – 1,200 pounds of grain per batch, which creates about 40 kegs. This means they’ll be using roughly 1,600 – 2,500 pounds of grain for each brew day.

While most college students are spending their time and money on school, food and bars, Joe Sandin spent his resources developing his business. That business is now Onsharp and that entrepreneurial spirit won him the Entrepreneur of the year Award from the FMWF Chamber of Commerce in 2011. Today, Sandin and his team at Onsharp create websites and apps as well as provide online marketing to businesses that want to branch out onto the web. In July of 2000 Sandin and his partner started developing web apps. At that time there wasn’t much for web development. This meant that Sandin had to teach himself a lot about his field. “I always say that when my buddies were out partying and having fun, I was sitting in my apartment writing code and just doing stuff to create my skill set.”

In 2003, he moved to Fargo and started working full-time while running his own business. In 2006, he devoted himself to his business and worked full-time. His team continued to grow and now Onsharp employs nine full-time employees and is continuing to grow.

The success of his business isn’t that complicated. Sandin has some simple rules he follows in his business practices. One of those practices is easy to explain. “I’m big on positive attitude. I do not like to surround myself with people who are negative or complainers. I think it can slow momentum down and can keep you from doing a lot of good things… I try to promote positive attitude and being solution oriented. There’s always a solution to the problem. You may not know how much it’s going to cost or how hard it’s going to be but there’s always a solution.”

When Sandin mixed that spirit with the great economy that is Fargo, he found a winning combination. He dedicates much of his success to the fact that he returned to Fargo for his business. “I didn’t realize it at the time but I think that moving to Fargo was one of the best decisions I ever made for my business. The community is supportive. The Research Park has been great. Other business owners are really good at sharing their time and knowledge. I think we have a great Chamber of Commerce here. The GFMEDC (Greater Fargo-Moorhead Economic Development Corporation) does a really good job of pulling all of their businesses in and provide incentives. I think we have a good, healthy, business economy.”

>You have to be pretty smart to keep up with Joel Jorgenson and his team at Packet Digital. To put it in a nutshell, Packet Digital designs computer chips. To put it more specifically, they have created a new type of power management that improves the performance and reduce energy output. These chips go into everything from everyday computers to radios the Army uses. In fact, because of their chips, soldier’s packs can weigh up to 12 pounds less because their radios don’t need bulky fans and cooling equipment.

You might be asking yourself, what does this have to do with business? Well, Jorgenson was a professor at NDSU when he was working with four graduate students. He eventually started the company and started doing engineering services. He founded the business and quickly realized that “having me be in charge of this place is a recipe for disaster. What we need is really a business person because if we’re going to be a world class business, we need world class business leadership.”

It’s said that behind every successful man there’s a woman. That is the truth for Jorgenson as well. In 2007, Terri Zimmerman came aboard and brought Packet Digital into their golden age. Zimmerman’s arrival to the company was crucial because Jorgenson was lost when it came to business. “Not only didn’t I know anything, I didn’t know that I didn’t know anything,” he said with a laugh.

The start of Packet Digital is similar to many other startups. Their first office was by Chuck E. Cheese and the furniture consisted of Jorgenson’s patio furniture and computers they built themselves. They began bidding on contracts with large companies and were winning those contracts. Jorgenson admitted that his team of four grad students and himself had one thing that set them apart from everyone else. “We had a tremendous lack of fear of failure. These guys could do anything… The company has a very long and very strong history of doing the impossible.”Joel Jorgenson

LoansThere are numerous opportunities for different loans out there. It’s hard to decide where to go for the best loan. There are a few places that specialize in small business loans like the Lake Agassiz Development Group. They offer new business loans like microloans, IRP loans and much more. For more information on them, go to lakeagassiz.com. One recommendation that Scott Berg, the Vice President of Business banking at Choice Financial, had was that it is generally easier to obtain a small business loan from a community bank versus a national bank because there is a lot of red tape to go through with national chains.

DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid. It’s hard to find somebody who knows more about the stuff then Mike Chambers. He is the founder, CEO and President of Aldevron. Simply put, Aldevron creates DNA. During his time at NDSU he found a way of developing large amounts of DNA. He has since gone into business producing that DNA on a massive scale.

Why would anybody want to buy DNA? Imagine that a scientist is studying a specific type of cancer. That scientist will then need the DNA that causes that cancer. Well, the scientist will then go Aldevron to purchase that DNA. While DNA isn’t the only biological material that Aldevron creates, it is a good example of the work they do. There is obviously a demand for this type of work because the business has proved quite lucrative for Chambers.

Aldevron has branches in Fargo, Madison, WI and even Freiburg, Germany. They have also recently purchased the Woodrow Wilson School on University in Fargo and have plans to turn it into a research facility that will employ upwards of 250 employees.

Like all startups, Chambers’ beginning was very humble. He started as a student at NDSU where he rented out a bench inside a lab. He thought that he was only going to receive a few orders but business took off and he soon had 80 clients. In 2000, they moved to their current location off of 32nd Ave. They quickly acquired their Germany branch and then the Madison branch. Despite all their growth, Chambers is still very humble about success.

“We’re really blessed. It’s sort of whatever God wants, we’ll do. We’re really thankful that things have gotten this big but I think we’re just getting started. There’s a lot more opportunity.”

Chambers is a scientist. He is not a business man so when he started running his own business, he was at a loss. He credits much of his success to the fact that he found a mentor to take him under his wing. There are a few key lessons that Chambers learned along that way that is good advice for anyone looking to start their own business.

“Ask a lot of questions. Be inquisitive. You have to focus on continuous improvement. Get better everyday. You can apply that to any product or field. Just by definition that requires that you have to be amenable to change. Always be willing to adopt new technologies, encourage growth on your team and encourage people to step out and take risks… Finding a mentor is probably one of the keys.”

As the Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota, Drew Wrigley has advocated for low taxes, a reasonable regulatory environment and a responsive state government. His beginnings with entrepreneurship goes back to when he was growing up in Fargo. Wrigley’s family founded Wrigley Mechanical Inc. After graduating from the University of North Dakota, he began a career as an attorney in various spots around the country. He eventually returned to North Dakota where he served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Governor John Hoeven before becoming North Dakota’s 17th US Attorney. After serving as the US Attorney for several years, he stepped down and eventually became the Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota.

To sum it up, Drew Wrigley knows about North Dakota. He stressed the importance and value of North Dakota’s diverse economy.

“We really do have the number one economy… There are a lot of reasons for that… We have a diversifying economy with agriculture still as the number one component in the state and then you have the energy sector, which is very strong. We also have very strong tourism. We have an excellent education system… We have terrific infrastructure in our state… It’s under strain out West but we’re meeting those needs and we’re looking to exceed them as the number one economy in the nation continues to grow. Those are all exciting components.”

According to Wrigley, between the strong and diverse economy and the influx of wealth from the oil boom, farmers and the research industry, this is a great time to start a business. There is a rapid expansion throughout the entire state. Almost every sector of the economy is growing and that has affected Fargo-Moorhead as well.

“That’s (Fargo) our largest city and Cass County has always been an important economic area for the state but now, more than any other time, there are other strong components for Cass County to recognize as great partners across the state.”

According to Wrigley, Cass County has the largest number of unfilled jobs in the state. When you add in the fact that there is an educated work force in the state, you find an opportune time to find employees for a small business. Wrigley also recognizes the importance of starting your own business.

“People starting and growing their business is a common dream across North Dakota… It really is the small business that is the engine of any economy. It’s the smaller size businesses that create the most jobs and really become the backbone. They don’t get a lot of news stories written about them and that’s OK… We can never ever, ever lose focus on these enterprises that started around the state because someone had a dream and had the guts to go after it.”

Dean Bresciani has been the president for NDSU for almost three years now and during his time here, NDSU has moved up in the National Science Foundation and Carnegie Foundation’s ranking. NDSU is also the state’s land-grant institution. This basically means they have a commitment to bringing education and research to North Dakota. They have done this exceptionally well. Because of the entrepreneurial culture at the NDSU Research and Technology Park in combination with NDSU as one of the 100 top research universities in the nation, Fargo is becoming one of the top places for research in the country.

“My analogy that I always use is the old TV show, ‘The Six Million Dollar Man,’” Bresciani said. “We are on the cusp of being able to create a six million dollar man or at least artificial limbs replacement. We have a long-standing national leading program in polymers and coating so that would be your skin and sensory aspects. We’re one of the top ranked research universities in nano electronics and guidance systems… We have faculty members on the cusp of creating artificial bone… You bring all those disciplines together and…we’re literally on the cusp of creating full limb replacement.”

While the scientific and medical importance of this technology is obvious, the business aspect is another huge component of the research being done at NDSU. Numerous businesses like Aldevron or Packet Digital have started because of the work being done at NDSU. Those businesses have added thousands of jobs to the Fargo area. When you add to the fact that Fargo-Moorhead is such a great place for business, you have a sure win.

“We are going to move into a lot of biomechanical engineering, nano electronics. High science areas. Because of the centrality of the location, modest cost of living and a highly educated work force. North Dakota, per capita, is the third most college-educated state in the nation after the District of Colombia and Massachusetts… This area can’t help but be a magnet for young, promising career professionals. Particularly if they’re interested in a family environment.”

photograpgy by Andrew Jason

Andy Warhol, a.k.a. the Prince of Pop, marked his place in the art world throughout the 60’s and 70’s with his famous pop art pieces like his painting of Campbell’s soup cans and his silk screen print of Marilyn Monroe.

A word from

The exhibit rooms are strategically lit to project Warhol’s work, colored using the CMYK color scheme .

The Rarity The exhibit contains an array of rarities as it is filled with 36 original limited addition prints.

THe Curator

The interactive section, cleverly called “The Factory”, allows viewers to create their own Warhol inspired print or digitally create a self portrait print using an Ipad app.

I call it socially engaged curating, where

the process and the work of how the

show is put together and then how it’s

understood is more engaged and focused

with the community. I’m really interested

in the space between the work and the

person viewing it! It’s really about the

space between and activating that.

Combine safe haven and sweet heaven and you've got yourself Sweet Haven Bakery. This bakery has only been open since February 1, yet owner Tami Dowers has big ideas about the treats she will be providing to her customers. Resembling grandma's kitchen, this is sure to be the next big hangout spot. Dowers guarantees a different treat every day, and focuses on using healthy and local ingredients. Dowers’ favorite treat to make would have to be sticky rolls and let us tell you, they are delicious! Next time you are looking for traditional recipes and fresh goods, check out Sweet Haven Bakery!

This mother-daughter duo plans to bring a unique and fun style to Fargo in opening their second Lot 2029 store. Lot 2029 was initially opened in Bismarck in June 2011. The Bismarck Lot 2029 will still focus on clothing and interior design, whereas the Fargo location will focus on accessories, clothing and, eventually, giftware. Owner, Hope Wald, insists clients won’t have “sticker shock” as prices generally won’t exceed $55. There are no consistent brands Lot 2029 carries, but Wald shops from 200+ vendors so you will have plenty to choose from. Lot 2029 will only carry 5-6 pieces of each product which ensures exclusivity for Fargo buyers. Lot 2029 and its new electric vibes will open March 16.

3 Chicks Boutique will be opening their second store in SOMA, south of main avenue in downtown Fargo! Don't worry, this new store will have all the same unique products as the original store: men's and women's clothing, Roost jewelry, shoes, purses and fragrance. The second store will also be providing event planning and a full service floral shop. Owner, Gina Gould, looks to assist in weddings and parties in the Fargo-Moorhead area These 3 chicks don't stick to the norm - they want to bring new and unique styles to their customers.

Chef John Almond has done it all.

The Fargo area native started out

washing dishes for a summer job

after high school. Later, Almond became an

overnight baker at Fargo’s Donut Hole. Now, a

few years and adventures later, Almond reigns

as the head chef of The Winery Vino and Bistro.

On Saturdays, indulge your inner carnivore with the shallot and garlic

encrusted prime rib. Mashed potatoes and in-season vegetables complete this

classic American meal.

Start your visit with the artisan cheese plate. The plate has three varieties of cheese; along with fresh fruit, fig jam, candied walnuts and crackers. All you

need now is a glass of wine.

Warm up and get cozy with the creamy mac and cheese.

No, you’re not dreaming... that IS bacon you see.

What is your policy on having music in the kitchen?

Music is only when we’re prepping in the morning. We’ll listen to just about anything. Rap, some country. It depends on the song.

Do you cook differently at home compared to cooking at work?

Nope. I fly around the kitchen at home as well, and make really elaborate dinners.

What is your favorite “almost spring” dish or dessert?

Almost spring dish? I’d say rabbit. We don’t have rabbit on our menu here right now. We are thinking about adding that to the next menu. For dessert, probably anything creamy:

like cheesecake.

What would you say are the essentials every beginning cook should have in his or her kitchen?

A full spice cabinet. When it comes to spices, I’ll use them all. Get salt and pepper, almost everything needs salt and pepper. Turmeric and allspice are used for curries and some roast

vegetables. Cumin adds a smokey flavor and is incorporated into Mexican and Spanish dishes. I will usually use coriander in conjuction with cumin. And then cinnamon. I like to

add a little bit of this when I am roasting winter squash.

Also, get sauté pans and sharp knives. For knives, it really doesn’t matter what brand. I kind of prefer the Japanese Shun and MAC.

When in doubt, what wine or beer do you recommend pairing with a meal?

I prefer a nice red wine or darker beer with red meats, and usually a lager or white wine with chicken or fish. But, it all depends on the person’s taste. So, if you like white, serve

white. If you like red, serve red. In the restaurant, we don’t really have a “go to” wine just because we have such a wide selection of wines.

GO // Happy Birthday


Thanks for three great years and here’s to many more.

Over the last three years...

We have produced 66 magazines.

Printed over 500,000 magazines

Took over 400,000 photographs.

Produced over 4,000 pages of original content.

Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday, dear Spotlight Media. Happy birthday to us.

We were hoping that someone would bring us a cake and presents, alas we were on our own to celebrate our birthday. And that we did.

A lot has changed since we started with our first magazine, FM Spotlight. Our magazines have grown up, both literally and figuratively. Each month we try and outdo the previous month and, most times, we feel like we succeeded. Every time we receive the magazines from the printers, it feels like Christmas morning as we open the box to take the first glance at our creation. When we’re out in public and we see somebody reading one of our magazines or when somebody tells us we did a good job, we feel a certain pride in the fact that we produced a quality publication.

We create these magazines for you Fargo-Moorhead. We hope you are as proud of these magazines as we are because they really belong to you.
