FEBRUARY 2013

Chances are, if you are a part of the Spotlight Media team you have

heard me say that. The meaning behind it is pretty simple. Let’s

go for it and get it done. It doesn’t matter if it’s a unique angle

to a story, an iffy creative approach to photography or a wacky

off the wall idea that involves some sort of heavy equipment and power tools.

No matter what, we get it done and avoid injuries. (Most of the time.) I can’t

express how excited I am that I have for the opportunity to create, literally,

anything I want each month. The creative freedom is truly a blessing, and I see

the excitement in my editorial team as well. Our goal is to continue to find

unique ways to tell and show readers a story. The next step is to implement

more reader driven content. This is where I ask you to participate. Email me

some ideas, but I challenge you to get creative. Find an angle and explain it with

some depth. I would love the chance to collaborate. Check out our website and

contribute, comment, send us pics, hashtag #fargomonthly on Instagram, pin us

on Pintrest, poke me on Facebook, wait no don’t do that, keep it classy. Haha!

Enjoy this issue, we sure enjoyed putting it together. Cheers.

-Drago

SPOTSSUSHI

Who knew that raw !sh could be so good? Apparently everybody

in the FM area is thinking the exact same thing because sushi is the new trend. Instead of going out for pizza and beer on a Friday night, people are going out for sushi and sake, and for good reason. Fargo-Moorhead has some stupendous sushi. "ese are six places you’ll want to check out for a good tuna roll, a #aming volcano roll, succulent tempura roll or many other types of !shy goodness.

"e sushi bar, located in the back of the restaurant, serves ever-changing specialty sushi rolls and also features Hibachi as well. Although sushi can still be ordered even if your party is seated at a Hibachi station. While sitting at the Hibachi station, you will get dinner

and a show as the chefs throw eggs in the air, create music with their spatulas and squirt sake in everyone’s mouth. A recent specialty sushi roll featured at Kobe’s, prepared

by Chef Chen, is the Olympic Roll, which is rolled up with tempura shrimp, cream cheese and spicy tuna, while topped with tempura crab, sweet chili sauce, spicy mayo

Angel Hair Sushi Roll

Osaka Seafood Steakhouse is located in the old Timberlodge Steakhouse on 38th Street South in

Fargo. However, the restaurant hardly resemble its past. A fantastic sushi bar with #at screen TVs that

greet you as you walk in the front door. Despite the restaurant’s large size, there are plenty of cozy

intimate booths for those romantic getaways. Chef Jeung prepared one of their most popular specialty

rolls, one of which is served in a martini glass, called the Angel Hair Sushi Roll, with tempura shrimp. "e presentation was a fun nod to the updated feel of the

SETTING THE PRICE

LIVE

“Come on down!” Those words have been spoken thousands of times on “The Price Is Right”. We’ve probably all imagined running down the aisle for our chance at the Showcase Showdown. Well, here’s your FKDQFH�WR�ÀQDOO\�PDNH�WKDW�KDSSHQ��7RGG�1HZWRQ�LV�WKH�KRVW�RI �´7KH�Price is Right Live”, which will be coming to the Fargo Civic Center on )HE��)LQG�RXW�ZKDW�1HZWRQ�KDG�WR�VD\�DERXW�WKH�H[FLWLQJ�VKRZ�WKDW�will be giving away thousands of dollars in prizes.

FM: What’s the difference between The Price is Right Live tour and the TV show?

Newton: I often tell people that the similarities between our live show and the TV show are many, and the differences are few. First of all, in the live show there are no TV cameras and we are not constrained time-wise. Also, we call four new contestants down after every game instead of just one, so more people have the opportunity to visit contestant’s row. Finally, in the live show, contestants are selected completely at random. This means that, no matter where your seats are, or how long you stood in line, everyone has an equal chance of getting called to “Come On Down!” Other than that the games are the same, the lights and stage are the same and the energy we’ve come to know and love is the same!

FM: :KDW·V�WKH�PRVW�H[FLWLQJ�WKLQJ�WKDW�has ever happened to you while doing a show?

Newton: Great question. You know, I’m 6’3” and I weigh 215 pounds, but that has not stopped contestants across the country from picking me up and spinning me around like I’m a rag doll more times than I can remember. I love sharing winning moments with contestants. It’s my favorite part of the job.

FM: How do you think the crowd in Fargo will compare to other places you’ve been?

Newton: We cannot wait to get to )DUJR��7KLV�ZLOO�EH�RXU�ÀUVW�YLVLW�WR�your city but, from what we’ve been told, it’s going to be a memorable night.

FM: What are some of the most H[FLWLQJ�SUL]HV�\RX·YH�HYHU�JLYHQ�DZD\"

Newton: Cars, piles of cash, vacations, kitchen appliances...you name it and we’ll be bringing it to Fargo!

FM: +RZ�PXFK�LQÁXHQFH�KDYH�\RX�WDNHQ�from Bob Barker?

Newton: More than I can ever put into ZRUGV��:KHQ�,�ÀUVW�GHFLGHG�WKDW�EHLQJ�a game show host is what I wanted to dedicate my career to, Bob took the time to teach me almost everything I now know. He’s an incredible man and I am so grateful to him for taking me under his wing. When I received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host a IHZ�PRQWKV�DJR��KH�ZDV�RQH�RI �WKH�ÀUVW�WR�congratulate me. Bob’s a legend as well as a gentleman.

FM: The average temperature in Fargo in February is 14 degrees. Are you sure you’re ready to face that kind of weather here?

Newton: Haha! Well, before moving to LA I was raised in St. Louis and I now live in Boston so teeth chattering temperatures are nothing new to me. The other guys might be in for a surprise though.

The Price Is RightFEB 22. AT 7:30 P.M.

Interview by Andrew JasonPhotography by Lisa Stahl Sullivan


Want to see the show yourself?“The Price Is Right Live” will be at the Fargo Civic Center on Feb. 22 at 7:30p.m. Tickets are available at jadepresents.com or ticketmaster.com.

You’ve seen them perform. They’ve captivated you with their energy, voices and, sometimes, even their hair. Each and every one of these men and women have to be charming, witty and, pardon our French, have that certain je ne sais quoi. We’ve gathered some great frontmen/women from local bands of every genre so you can meet the people behind the mic.

We asked several people who are heavily involved in the local music scene for their opinion on who are some of the best frontmen/women. This is de!nitely not a complete list and we look forward to including more frontmen in future issues.

Tim Melin – Tripwire

Want to hear something impressive? Tim Melin plays nine instruments on stage AND is one heck of a singer. This stay at home dad by day, rockstar by night, knows how to put on a show. Where he !nds the energy for all of that is a mystery. He is the father of an 11-month-old girl and commutes all the way from the Twin Cities. His energy may come from the fact that he truly loves what he does. Melin graduated from McNally Smith College of Music where his emphasis was songwriting. He hopes to be able to make it to a national level where he can perform more original music. He compares the music of Tripwire to One Republic, Matchbox Twenty or The All-American Rejects. Despite the desire to make it big, Melin and the band love every minute of where they’re at now.

Kipp G – Kipp G and Tony The Butcher

Music, and more speci!cally, hip-hop is very important to Kipp G. “It’s an outlet for me to be expressive and pour my soul out,” said the rapper who is also heavily involved in the local skateboarding scene. Kipp’s in"uence is easy to !nd, he draws 100 percent of his in"uence from his local community. He loves the FM community and is out to make hip-hop more dominant in Fargo. He was one of the main players in bringing Doomtree to the Venue at the end of last year and he’s working on throwing a big end of school show at the Hub. Make sure you keep an eye on Kipp G because he has plans on going places.

Waylon Thomas – Face For Radio

Is there a lot of pressure being the face of Face For Radio? Not for Waylon Thomas. “I used to (be nervous) when we !rst got going but now it’s routine. You get into it. There’s no pre-show rituals that we do besides maybe a shot or two of Jameson.” While growing up, he was heavily in"uenced by his time spent on the tractor, listening to the one classic rock station he could pick up. That radio station helped form his love of music and in"uenced Face For Radio’s playlist of rock, grunge, 90’s and, even, Spice Girls. It should be known that they don’t perform a lot of Spice Girls but he does believe that it’s important to keep each show fresh. That’s why at each show they have a list of about 180 songs from which people can request for them to play. That list includes everything from Johnny Cash to Pearl Jam to Atmosphere to The Killers.

Jason Brekhus - 24Seven

You name the song and the chance is that 24Seven can probably play it. Jason Brekhus started the band in 2000 and they are not limiting themselves to one type of music. According to Brekhus, they’ll play everything from Dwight Yoakam to Eminem. However, despite the fact that they’ve opened for big acts like Faith Hill and Collin Raye, Brekhus loves the smaller shows that allow him to connect to the crowd. “I love the intimate gigs where you can see all your targets really well. Those usually tend to be the more fun and intimate gigs.”

Diane Miller – D Mills and The Thrills and Diane Miller

Diane Miller is a busy lady. Not only is she the frontwoman for D Mills and The Thrills and Diane Miller and the Silver Daggers but she’s also a backup singer for Heavy is the Head and sits in occasionally with O’fosho!. It’s di#cult to pinpoint a speci!c genre that she sings. With D Mills, she raps; with the Silver Daggers, it’s folk; with Heavy is the Head, it’s reggae; with O’fosho!, she even performed a Rage Against the Machine set. Despite all of her experience with the music scene, she still confesses that she’s working on the frontwoman persona. “Usually, I ask someone else to tell a joke. (Laughs) Or I just stand there awkwardly. I have not mastered the art of being a frontwoman by any means. I’m still learning and it’s de!nitely an art of its own.”

Mike Holtz – Carmen The Cactus

Mike Holtz can belt out a song. He started the band, Carmen The Cactus, in 2004 and has been rocking the Midwest for the last eight years. It’s important for fans to realize that there is much more to being the frontman of a band than just standing behind the mic. Holtz has to deal with everything from requests from the crowd to working with the bar manager. He noted that although you need to know how to put on a good show, you also need to know about the managerial side.

Bre! Pauly – Fat Daddys

Brett Pauly is a little di$erent than most other lead singers. He stumbled into singing when he was about 21. Sports dominated his life before that fateful day when he picked up a karaoke microphone. He discovered that he had talent and soon began to enter karaoke contests. After consistently placing, he entered the Fargo Star in 2010 and won. Soon after that, he found himself with Fat Daddys. When Pauly joined, they switched their format from classic rock to country music and they haven’t looked back.

Last month, Amanda Standalone tried out for “The Voice”. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it or get to meet Adam Levine but that doesn’t mean she’s done chasing her dream. She admits she’s not a pop star and judging by the fact that she plays in a jug band, there’s probably some truth to that. She sees herself as a singer/songwriter and wants to follow the path of bands that have paved the way like The Avett Brothers. With a voice that is reminiscent of days gone by, Standalone has a voice and two bands that are as unique as her.

Wait a minute! This article is about Frontmen, so why is the entire band here? Good question. The answer boils down to the fact that this electronic jam band is like no other band out there. This hybrid, DJ live band is a total collaboration. There is no frontman. “We are not a traditional band. We don’t do anything like a traditional band, including the frontman,” said Seth Holden. However, one thing this band does well is put on a fun and wild show.

Chris Ashmore – Post-Trauma"c Funk Syndrome

The story of Chris Ashmore’s involvement with the Post-Traumatic Funk Syndrome begins in church. Ashmore began singing in his church’s alternative band with PTFS’ saxophone player, Russ Peterson. Once this classic rock, horn band started looking for a lead singer, Ashmore’s name was dropped. He came in for a tryout and the rest is history. Ashmore keeps this band rocking with his powerful voice that can compete with the talented musicians backing him up.

Bonnie and Jim Haney – Poi"n

There are two things you need to know about Poitin. First, it’s pronounced poy-cheen and it’s a once illegal Irish whiskey. Secondly, for Bonnie and Jim Haney, this is much more than just a band. This is a way for them to tell the story of their ancestors. “For us, the fun loving part is a small part of it. We’re singing the history of people who were oppressed for 800 years. It’s not totally joyful… a lot of the music celebrates that. Although it is true, nobody loves fun like the Irish but there is a bittersweet side to it as well.”

singing her name and composing

romantic improv songs about her. “It

a marriage to survive almost 49 years

of happiness, suffering, trials and love

is, unfortunately, not a common thing

It all !tarted...when Helen saw Rich as a lifeguard back at a little lake in Iowa. “She saw me in my swimming suit and thought, ‘I have to spend the rest of my life that man.’” This is the account Rich recalled, as Helen giggled and shook her head. Helen was sixteen and Rich two years elder when they first met. Truth be told, according to Helen, the first time they met was actually in Rich’s family’s hardware store when she went to get fitted for ice skates and he came running up to help her, he shook his head with a smile on his face. He insisted that he never came running. Either way, that is the first time they truly became acquaintances.

Although a spark unknowingly began a couple years earlier, the couple didn’t start dating until Helen was a Freshman at the same college as Rich. The story goes that as Rich was walking across campus with his arm around another girl, he passed Helen and sent a quick wink her way.

There seems to be two different official first date stories for the couple. Rich starts out insisting that his story is the real first date story. “I was working at the hardware store when the phone rang. There was a girl on the other line who introduced herself as Helen. I didn’t know who Helen was… once I figured it out, she asked me to the Sadie Hawkins Dance put on by the college.” Helen was quick to interrupt him with her version of their first real date. After all, she states she would never ask out a boy because she was far too shy.“ After that wink while bypassing one another on campus, Rich called and asked me out on a ‘Coke’ date. I agreed to go. I’ve never dated another man since that day.”

After dating for four years, Rich bought a $65 ring through the wholesalers from his parent’s hardware store and asked Helen to marry him on Christmas Eve. The early years of their marriage consisted of mountain tops and camping in the wilderness for Rich’s profession as a scientist. They eventually settled in Moorhead and began their life. Three children and 48 plus years later, they have plenty of good advice on how to make a marriage work. Here are some of the most important ones they touched on.

Arguments: “Oh we argue, but we don’t hold grudges,” stated Rich. “Don’t hold anything in. Forgive even when you think you have a right to be mad.” Helen put their overcoming of arguments like this, “Always, forgive and forget. Mountains, prairies and now we are still outdoors looking at the sky, the stars, the seasons.” Rich butted in, “Helen’s a romantic. Here I am, trying to read the sports page and Helen says, ‘Rich, come look at the sunset!’ And I’m thinking ‘but I’m reading about the MSUM Dragons!’”

Trials: “Remember that this too will pass. And they always do. Always try to find happiness through the sadness,” said Rich.

Coping with one another’s annoying habits: “You mean like when I leave the toilet seat up in the middle of the winter and our heat is only set at 63 degrees and Helen goes to the bathroom… that ends up being a chilly surprise for her,” Rich said with a laugh. Helen admits that she tends to leave cupboard doors open, which has lead to several stitches for Rich. They said it comes down to accepting these things. You did promise to be there for each other for better and worse.

Traveling: Never be in a rush. Take trains whenever you can. “We love the thought of watching the world go by,” expresses Helen.

Sexting: “My phone still has a rotary dial, so I’m not sure that I could if I wanted to!” joked Rich. While couples these days “sext,” the Pemble’s used to write letters daily to one another for two years straight while they were living in different states.

Facebook Official: Back when people began ‘officially’ dating, they had a “pinning ceremony” known as a couple becoming Lavaliere official. This was when the man would give the girl his pin to wear and the fraternity and sorority houses sang to them as they stood on a balcony.

Keeping a happy house: Share responsibilities. There should never be assigned jobs in a household, just do what needs to be done and help one another out. “We share a love for cooking, so we do that together.” Rich said he does all the cleaning and house work, as Helen giggled and rolled her eyes. She claims otherwise. Helen shared how they would decide who got to do the dishes. “We used to play cards and croquet for whoever would wash the dishes, so we both got really good at those.“

Bakeology

GO // Culinary Corner

By Kylee SeifertPhotographs by Caitlin Abrams

Baking cupcakes is a science for Bakeology. In fact, it’s the science of baking at its !nest and by

!nest, we mean in its most delicious state. Andrea Ehlis-Chang and Kristina Lau are the lovely ladies/

cupcakeologists behind the science of Bakeology.

You may have to read this twice,

but... Andrea married Don, Kristina

married Kevin, Don is Kevin’s

uncle and thus is how they originally crossed

paths. From there, the two girls joined forces

to formulate Bakeology. They bring the joy of

cupcakes to each and every individual in the

FM area by selling them at Unglued Market,

located in downtown Fargo. Lucky for you,

they even !ll special orders for individuals and

events. Find out more about the two vintage

inspired women and the batter that holds

their young business, Bakeology, together.

Kristina Lau

Andrea Ehlis-Chang



Fun Facts: Kristina

considers cookies a food

group and once ate them for

an entire week for breakfast,

lunch and dinner. Andrea’s

favorite animal is a unicorn.

From top le% to bottom right:

Robin’s Egg, Lemon Diva,

Strawberry Chocolate,

Persian Rose.

Where do you !nd inspiration or ideas for your unique cupcake "avors?

Everywhere! We are inspired by seasonal "avors, classic combinations, and personal interests. For instance, our Persian Rose, was inspired by a rose creme brulee that Andrea and her husband had on a date in California. The Thanksgiving feast inspires cupcakes like Marshmallow Sweet Potato, Winterberry, Pumpkin Spice, and Pecan Praline while the Christmas season inspires Chocolate Peppermint, Eggnog and Gingerbread.

Do you have any plans of expanding?

Yes! We plan on having a bakery/store front. We will specialize in cupcakes, cakes, cookies and o$er both gluten-free and standard menu options. We currently feature four di$erent cupcake "avors each week at Unglued in downtown Fargo. Customers can also place special orders to be delivered or picked up at Unglued.

Q & A

You can !nd more info on them at bakeology.us or you can call them at 701-388-1130. To get your cupcake !x, go to Unglued at 408

Broadway, Fargo.

Touch on your gluten-free cupcakes and why it’s important for Bakeology to o$er this type of cupcake.

We think it is important to o$er exceptional products to those who require a gluten-free lifestyle. Many of Andrea’s family members have Celiac Disease and others have signi!cant gluten sensitivities. This led her on the path of baking gluten-free, while elevating the taste to match that of the standards set during her training at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone.

Have you had any big “oops” or “yucks” that have happened while experimenting in the kitchen?

We have had a few “mini” kitchen disasters. It’s quite a process to get each cupcake (in it’s entirety. i.e. cake, frosting, !lling, topping) to the point where we feel it is ready for our customers. We go through extensive testing of every variety that is on our menu. As you can imagine with over 30 "avors, including the seasonal, that gets to be a lot of testing! To say the least, our hips have appreciated the additional padding... Mishaps lead to long nights in the kitchen, trying to remedy the “situation.”

Why did you choose to do cupcakes? Do you make anything else?

We can be much more adventurous with the "avors when we make cupcakes. People are much less intimidated by a unique "avor when it is a cupcake, as opposed to a whole cake. We love the reaction people have when they see and eat our cupcakes. It easily appeals to so many of our senses: the way they look, smell, taste and the “mmmmm” you hear when you take your !rst bite and every bite that follows. We also o$er all of our cupcake "avors as whole cakes.

"is husband-wife duo at Video Arts Studios is composed of General Manager/Director, Art Phillips and his wife, MaryAnn, the Production

Coordinator.



Although you haven’t realized it, it’s almost guaranteed that you have seen a video that Art and MaryAnn Phillips have made over the years. 30

years ago, this couple started Video Arts Studios where they have directed, produced, edited and filmed countless videos for everything as small as a 30-second commercial to making TV shows for the History Channel. The videos that MaryAnn, Art and the people at Video Arts Studios make are impressive but their story is even better.

By Andrew Jason Photographs by J. Alan Paul Photography

Art & MaryAnn Phillips

Lights,camera,

Actionwith

And Action...Pr

ofi


The beginning...Art worked at a TV station for over !ve years where he fell in love with the production aspect. One day, he came home and said to MaryAnn, “What do you think about starting a production

company?” Like any good and faithful wife, MaryAnn was the voice of reason and replied, “Don’t quit your day job.” Sure enough, like any good and faithful husband, Art ignored his wife and started

Video Arts Studios with four partners. (Don’t worry, his wife was one of those partners.) Today, Art and MaryAnn are the sole owners of the company.



Where they’ve gone...They have traveled across the US for various projects and while working with “MonsterQuest” they were able to travel to locations like England, the Sea of Cortez and for their current project, they ventured to Washington, D.C. to interview Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Stephen Breyer.

What they’ve done...They started out by making commercials and eventually moved up to corporate communication videos, like sales videos, training and product demonstration videos. Eventually, they branched o$ into television and have created videos for Discovery Health, History Channel and Hallmark Channel. They created a show called “House of Babies” that lasted for two seasons. During their run, they created 26 episodes where they followed a midwifery clinic in Miami through the birth of di$erent babies. They also produced episodes for the TV show, “MonsterQuest” on History Channel. Through that they tried to hunt down the Black Beast of Exmoor, giant squids and, the eloquently named, Skunk Ape. (Spoiler alert: they didn’t !nd any monsters.)

The couple...Art and MaryAnn have been married for 34 years and despite the fact that they work together, their relationship is still thriving. One of the problems with running a business together is that it’s hard to leave work at the o#ce. “It (work) does tend to come home more than a regular couple,” said MaryAnn. “Art is a pretty easy guy to work with though. We still go on vacations together. (Laughs) We go on dates too.”

For the last year and a half the folks at Video Arts Studios have been tirelessly working on their newest project, “The Road to Little Rock.” This documentary tells the little known story of Fargo judge, Ronald Davies. Davies was a judge from North Dakota who

was sent down to Little Rock, AR to help with a back load of cases. During his time there he discovered that the schools hadn’t integrated. He went to the governor and told them they needed to integrate. There was a lot of hostility towards Davies and the idea of integration. At the time there were nine African-American students who wanted to go to school. As they were preparing to attend school, the National Guard, deployed by the governor, blocked their entrance to the school. That blockade sparked a national interest in ending segregation and helped the Civil Rights movement spread across the country. In fact, the new Fargo High School was named after Judge Davies. This video will be turned into part of the curriculum in Fargo and Arkansas.

“This project is a legacy,” said MaryAnn. “It’s going to be very far reaching for how many people it’s going to reach. It’s a wonderful

story and it’s a wonderful message for what one person can do.”

The P#oject

The amount of work that goes into creating a half hour or hour video is amazing. MaryAnn was kind enough to provide some numbers on the behind the scenes time spent on some of their productions.

House of Babies: A half hour show on Discovery Health. The time spent was per episode.o 8 hours of production planning/writingo 40 hours of videotapingo 67 hours of o$-line editingo 25 hours of on-line editingo 38 hours of audio mixing

MonsterQuest: An hour show on History Channel. The time spent was per episode.o 285 hours of production planning/writingo 68 hours of videotapingo 106 hours of o$-line editingo 95 hours of on-line editingo 86 hours of audio mixing/sweetening The Road to Little Rock: Half hour documentary.o 284 hours of production planning/writingo 41 hours of videotapingo 75 hours of o$-line editingo 60 hours of on-line editingo 130 hours of audio mixing/music writing

For more info...You can !nd MaryAnn and Art Phillips at Video Arts Studios, located at 440 4th Ave. N, Fargo or you can !nd them online at videoartsstudios.com.

You may be asking yourself, what’s the di$erence between o$-line and on-line editing. Well, this is how MaryAnn explained it, “O$-line editing is similar to a rough draft. The producer will put the storyline together visually without any e$ects or concern about length. Then, after getting a good feel for the storytelling, they will go back for the on-line edit to tighten up the storyline into the required clock segments (the networks have speci!c time frames each act can be) and add any motion graphics, dissolves or special e$ects.”
