arfield, Fang, Scooby-Doo, Snoopy, Shiloh, Duchess, Pongo, Simba & Nala, Felix, Old Yeller, Marmaduke, Balto, Shiloh, Lassie, Skip, Air Bud­–I could really go on for ages here, but I assume that most of these animal names ring a bell for you, as they are some of the most well known fictional characters in recent history. Why is it that animals and pets play such an important role in society, in real life or in fictional works?

Why is it that not a single person can hear the song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan without thinking about sad dog and cat eyes staring back at you from the TV screen? And why is it that the deaths of Marley, Mufasa or Bambi’s mother make it impossible to keep dry eyes?

It’s because pets are the loyal friends that will never betray you even if you betray them. They will see you for all of your good, and never the bad. They will be there to cheer you up when you’re sad, help with your anxieties, watch over you when you’re sick or be the ultimate sidekick during the good times. Though the presence of some animals is silent, their love is always there. Pets bring certain innocence in the world that we as humans sometimes don’t deserve.

Whatever type of pet person you are, there is no doubt that our lives without pets wouldn’t be near as good.

14 | JULY 2017 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

I myself have been under the spell of pet love for most of my life. When I was 7 years old, my parents brought home two kittens, a brother and sister, who lived with me until they were 15 and 17 years old.

My family also had a Chihuahua who lived for 11 years while I was growing up, and two years ago my dad brought a spunky beagle-corgi mix into our family. However, once my oldest cat companion of 17 years passed away just over two years ago, nothing could fill the void of my loss. I went just short of a year being miserable without the love and companionship of my own pet.

On New Year’s Day 2016, I welcomed a baby Sphynx kitten (yes, a hairless cat) into my life and it will never be the same. Unlike most cats, Sphynx cats are known for being outward about affection, having high energy and craving human attention and love. I mean, cuddling for heat is a given, but I’ve never seen a cat so addicted to being loved by humans.

Her name is Wednesday, and her dog-like personality is incredibly unique and no lingering cat hair in my house is a huge plus. Even though she looks mad 80 percent of the time, puts up an occasional fight during bath time and has me up early on the weekends to play, this little feline has me wrapped around her little fingerlike paws (said like every “crazy” cat lady, I suppose).

I can only hope that everyone on this planet has the chance to feel the love that I feel from Wednesday and all of the affection and companionship that is possible with any sort of animal. Animals are life changing, and that is why putting together a pet issue of Fargo Monthly (finally) was so important to me, and we plan to have this be a recurring issue.

Plus, are you really going to complain about looking at pictures of adorable cats and dogs?

The biggest takeaway from this issue, in my eyes, is 1) adopt, don’t shop and 2) foster! There are so many cats and dogs in our community alone who are waiting to be rescued, are ready to be loved and to give love back. Adoption is easy, and if you’re not totally ready for the commitment, fostering and volunteering are great options as well. And fostering is totally free! I hope that this issue gives you great advice when it comes to being a top-notch pet parent, and the motivation to help the struggling animals in our community.

Cheers to you and your furever friends,

shelter & rescue 101 With 4 Luv of Dog Rescue and CATS Cradle Shelter

4

Luv of Dog Rescue is a local communitybased and volunteerrun organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs. The dogs stay with the rescue until there is an appropriate home, and there is never a time limit on a dog’s stay. The shelter provides all aspects of physical and mental health needs for the animals, and also offers free classes for fosters to take part in. President 4 Luv of Dog Rescue President and and founder founder Kish Hilmert with Gretta.

Kish Hilmert filled us in on the importance of the rescue and why you should consider adoption or fostering.

20

What are the benefits of adopting instead of buying?

“A lot of people are not aware of the huge animal overpopulation problem in our nation, so there are thousands of dogs waiting in shelters to be adopted. The benefit of adopting is that you’re saving a life, and the money that you are giving for an adoption fee helps the rescues continue to save more dogs. As opposed to buying, if you haven’t done your research and you don’t know 150 percent that you’re buying from a ‘reputable breeder,’ you could be putting money back into the pocket of somebody who has hundreds of animals caged just so they can pump out cute puppies that are sold to pet stores. Many times those dogs are living in deplorable conditions–dogs who never feel grass under their feet, never feel human affection, never get a proper grooming, severe infections and are bred literally until it’s incredibly dangerous. That cute puppy may come from a terrible place of animal torture and neglect. The money that you are giving that pet store or that ‘breeder’ is going right back into their pockets and it’s not benefiting the animals. It’s just continuing their cycle of neglect.

“Adopting also helps spread positive attitudes about rescue dogs. You might meet somebody

and they might like your dogs and you’ll say, ‘Oh, I adopted and it was a great experience.

My dog is beautiful and has all these wonderful traits,’ so it helps promote the positive aspects of adoption to others.”

Myth: “Rescue dogs always have behavioral issues.”

“I think the biggest myth is that people somehow think that rescue animals are broken or have behavioral problems, but the majority of them don’t. Any animal needs an adjustment period whether you get it from a pet store or adopt it, and they just need time to adapt to their new surroundings along with love and care. They are wonderful, loving and caring dogs.”

Myth: “I want a specific breed of dog or a puppy, but they're never available at the shelter.”

“Not true, just do a little research. So many people say that they want a specific breed of dog. I understand that and I can guarantee that there is a rescue for every specific breed because people buy animals and then realize that they can’t keep them, so you have these ‘purebreds’ and mixed breeds that come

through the shelters all the time. Petfinder.com is also a great search engine.

“Another popular myth is people want puppies but think they can’t find them in shelters. That’s not true at all. There are many litters born into rescue or puppies surrendered to rescue, so you can rescue any age or breed of dog with a little bit of time and research.”

Myth: “The adoption process can be too hectic.”

“Sometimes I think people can get turned off by the adoption process, but every clause in our adoption process is there for a reason.

Specific life events have happened that cause us to be so thorough. 4 Luv of Dog considers these dogs our responsibility for probably the rest of their lives, so we want to make sure 100 percent that they’re going to safe environments–places that can continue to care for them for the rest of their lives and provide proper medical care, shelter, and will treat them as a family pet as opposed to putting them on a family chain in the backyard and seeing them once a week. The adoption process is not hectic when you understand the importance of the steps.”

I want to foster dogs. What is required of me?

“Fostering is free. We pay for absolutely

everything. The rescue pays for the food, all the medical expenses, the crates, veterinary expensive, boarding and anything else the animal might need while in your care. We are in constant communication with the fosters.

Your biggest responsibility is the emotional one, because we want them to have a safe and loving home. If you’re fostering then you’re mostly approved for adoption, but people fostering have to understand that you can’t just decide you want to keep a dog. You have to let the rescue know early on that you may be interested in adopting so you don’t pull the rug out from another potential adopter who’s waiting for an animal and we have to tell them ‘never mind.’ You can absolutely foster to adopt, you just have to let us know.

“We’re always in need of fostering and you’re never trapped into your foster dog. That means we do our best to provide you with the best foster placement, but if for some reason you can’t continue fostering that dog, you are not strapped to that dog. We can take the dog back and find an appropriate foster home.”

How can I properly acquaint new pets with other animals or new situations?

“As far as introducing dogs to new situations, a new home or other pets, you want to do very slow introductions. Dogs are very similar to people in the fact that we don’t like everybody, and some people think that dogs are some magical Disney creatures and they all love each other, but they have emotions that are

very similar to us. Some dogs hit it right off the bat, but don’t anticipate that. Expect at least a two-to-three-week adjustment period where you’re making sure that that dog has a quiet area, they’re not constantly in the mix of things, you’re taking them off your property for walks and doing short training sessions to build that trust with them. Training really is about positive reinforcement and trust with an animal, not about dominating them.”

Do you have any tips when it comes to breaking bad habits in dogs?

“As far as breaking bad habits, I like to get away from the term ‘breaking.’ It’s focusing on the good. I think the biggest disconnect in people working with their dogs is the misconception of how dogs think and how they want to be worked with. Focus on the positives and ask them to do something that’s appropriate instead and pay them for their good behavior.

Use positive reinforcement, give them a treat or affection and let them know what you like as opposed to telling them what you don’t like all the time. Show them what you want and set them up to succeed as opposed to setting them up to fail.”

shelter & rescue 101

C

ATS Cradle is a no-kill shelter for rescued cats and kittens, where animals are cared for by a core group of shelter volunteers. The shelter rescues cats from the Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead pounds as well as abandoned animals brought in by the public, so that they can protect cats and find loving, lifelong homes for them.

They also work to prevent abuse, neglect and cruelty of animals. Executive director and co-founder Gail Ventzke stressed the importance of adoption and the shelter’s role in the community.

CATS Cradle executive director and co-founder Gail Ventzke with the famous Corky.

What are the benefits of adopting cats versus buying from a pet store?

“When you adopt, not only are you saving one cat, you’re saving two because the cat that you adopt opens up another spot for another one that can be rescued. So by adopting, you’re actually saving more lives and stopping animals from being euthanized at the pounds.

When we started the shelter in 2012 there was somewhere between 400-600 adoptable cats being euthanized a year in the three pounds.

For some reason, cats are disposable and have a low reclaim rate when they get to the pound.

The reason we focus on cats is because we feel they need the biggest voice because so many were being euthanized. Throughout the years, that number virtually went to zero and only two adoptable cats were euthanized in the Fargo pound, but none otherwise since our opening.

Two cats in five-and-a-half years. We feel that we have made a big contribution to the cat community and we couldn’t do it without the help of the local pound staff and our relationship with Homeward Animal Shelter.

“If you’re getting a cat from a backyard breeder or pet store, you’re looking at spending a lot of extra money medically. The animals from those

22

places won’t get the same type of medical attention that ours do. Some clinic rates are higher than others, so you have to do your homework. You could pay $85-100 for a kitten that has had absolutely nothing and you’re responsible for all of the rest when it comes to getting neutered, testing or chipped. At CATS Cradle you’ll pay $109.77 plus tax and you’ll get a fully vetted cat. You’re getting a pretty good deal when you rescue.”

Is the adoption process difficult?

“Adopting a cat or an animal is not as hard as people think it is. Our goal is to find forever homes and finding great matches. You have to make sure you are committed, because this is a living, breathing thing. It’s not a toy. So if you’re looking at kittens because they’re cute, fluffy and adorable, realize that this is going to be a 10-pound cat when it grows up and it’s not going to have the same personality. Kittens can be challenging because they’re like children and you have to teach them. It’s important to us to make sure that clients have really thought it through and are ready to make a commitment.

“Another challenge is apartments, so make sure you know the regulations. I call every single landlord, because I don’t want to send a cat

home and have a client be at risk for eviction because they didn’t go through the proper channels. We also have a no-declaw policy at CATS Cradle. We will not allow anybody to declaw our cats because it causes behavioral and health issues. We don’t want to set our cats up to fail, so something we ask as well is if a housing unit requires declawing. If for some reason they do, many will allow cats to have little nail caps (softpaws) so they can’t damage anything.”

Myth: “Shelter and rescue cats aren’t the healthiest.”

“If you look at the statistics with puppy mills or backyard breeders, they don’t get the vetting care that our animals do. Most puppy mills will do a de-wormer and send them off to their new home and leave it up to the owner. To be honest, that can be a crapshoot because you don’t know if the owner is going to follow through. At CATS Cradle, we provide all the supportive care and every cat that comes in gest tested for feline Leukemia and feline AIDS. We have a veterinarian from Sheldon, North Dakota, who comes in on a regular basis to do check-ups and treatments. We vaccinate for distemper and rabies, we do multiple deworming treatments, micro-chipping, spaying and neutering. Everybody is fully vetted when they go out and anything that comes up during our time of fostering or their time at the shelter gets taken care of as well. They get quarantined for the first seven to 14 days depending on what’s going on with them and they do get a lot of medical attention and diagnostics. You’re not going to get any of that in a backyard breeder or a pet store. With those you would maybe get the bare minimum or even nothing. Our cats also live community style, meaning they don’t live in cages beyond their quarantine period.”

I’m worried about a new cat clawing my furniture. What are some tips to prevent that?

“Providing enough of the right type of scratching apparatus. I had a call one time and a guy said his cat was scratching the carpet, but he also had a cat tree. The first question I

asked him was what the cat tree made out of, and he said it was carpet. So the cat thought it was okay to scratch the carpet on the cat tree but didn’t differentiate the other carpet he’s not supposed to scratch. Getting the right tools to start with is probably the most important. We also have a ton of information on our website when it comes to training cats not to claw things.”

What are my other options if I’m unsure about committing to adoption?

“Aside from fostering, you have the option to visit with the cats during our social hours. Cats are great therapy pets, so there are times that we allow people to come in and visit. Maybe you’re allergic to cats and can’t have one but you still want your kids to be exposed to them, or maybe you’re a college student who misses their pet back home and really wants a kitten fix. Those are the types of things the social hours are great for. We offer that on Tuesdays from 7-7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 5-5:30 p.m., but you can always call ahead and see if you’re able to come in earlier.”

If I want to foster a cat, what is required?

“We always need new fosters. Fostering is absolutely free and the shelter takes care of anything the animal may need while it is in your care. All we ask is that you provide love and a roof over their head. It’s a pretty easy thing to do and you are not committed to a certain amount of time with a foster animal.

“For adoption, we don’t require a separate room in your house, but for fosters we require that you have a separate room in your house to put them in. We ask that you do not integrate them with other cats until they are through their quarantine period, and we want your current animals to be up to date on their vaccinations.

You can foster to adopt, but it’s not something we encourage unless it’s a very special situation.”

If I want a kitten, what is the youngest I can adopt or foster?

“Some places adopt kittens out at 8 weeks but we do not. We do make some exceptions if it’s the right situation. Between 8 and 12 weeks old is a crucial time for development. We feel it’s really important to keep them with their mom and siblings until 12 weeks because there’s a lot of behavioral development and discipline that’s learned.”

vet talk With West Fargo Animal Hospital

Dr. Melissa Schlader of West Fargo Animal Hospital

I’m curious about making my own pet food. Is there anything I should look out for?

“I’m a little bit cautious with that just because in general, you have to make sure they’re getting their complete nutrition. If they have a special consideration, working with a vet or nutritionist is a good idea. There are board-certified nutritionists that can help you get the complete nutrition they need. Check with someone like that. I would be a little nervous about just going online and making your own without having some consultation. There are definitely times that a homemade diet, with things like allergies or certain diseases, would be a consideration, but for most animals there’s something overthe-counter or prescription that works well.”

Aside from chocolate being one of the most obvious things my pet shouldn’t eat, is there anything else they should avoid eating?

“Foods that can be toxic to pets definitely includes chocolate but also alcohol, avocados,

caffeine, fruit pits, grapes, raisins, hops (and beer), macadamia nuts, milk, raw or undercooked meat and bones, eggs, onions, garlic, chives, yeast dough and salt. Another thing is a sweetener called Xylitol, which is found in many items, but I feel like one thing we commonly see it being a problem with is sugar-free gum.”

Allergy medication can sometimes be expensive. Are there any holistic methods for my pet to get relief?

“If it’s something seasonal–this time of year we see a lot of allergy flare–something as easy as wiping their paws off with a baby wipe every time they go outside to get rid of those allergens and pollens can help a lot. It’s hard to say. Again, I would consult with someone before you try holistic methods. Sometimes there are over-the-counter antihistamines and products that are okay, but I hate to say that certain things work for every dog because they're all different.”

What are some good ways to help my pet combat ticks and fleas?

“I definitely recommend having a system on board. We generally recommend using a product year-round. Most of the products are applied monthly but some can be spread out every three months. A product given monthly, especially for ticks this time of year, is a good idea because we see a lot of tickborne illnesses that can be serious. Getting a prescription from your vet instead of over-thecounter is a good idea because there are a lot of counterfeit or knock-off products that you can get through online sources and pet stores,

26

and those can cause more toxicity to the dog.

Just be sure it’s vet recommended.”

Do you have any tips for keeping my pet safe during different seasons?

“In the summer, we’ll see dogs that can get overheated pretty easily, especially the shortfaced dogs like pugs, who are especially at risk because they can’t pant as efficiently and regulate their temperature. Just make sure you don’t overdo it, provide fresh water, and make sure they’re not burning their footpads on hot asphalt. Of course, don’t leave them in a hot car. With the start of lake season, also people forget that they haven’t been exercising their dog at all during the winter, then all of a sudden they just go out and go crazy for the day, or they run more than they’ve run in months, then their dogs get stiff and sore and they’re

very tired. Realize that our dogs can get out of shape, too. Some people can overdo it and get in a panic about what’s wrong, but the dog is just really tired. It’s also common sense that Fargo is pretty brutal in the winter. Make sure your pet has short times outside, and keep watch on their paw pads because they can be affected by the salts and chemicals used to put on the sidewalk in the winter.”

What should I know about caring for animals with anxiety or my mental health in regards to how it affects my pet?

“I think pets can feed off of your emotions, but it doesn’t mean your pet is going to act like you. We do see a lot of anxiety, especially after a big move, a new baby in the house or other big life changes. You can definitely see changes in anxieties and behavior with pets and it differs

with each animal. Usually it’s always an anxiety that has always been there but it can escalate in different situations. There are prescription medications to help with it, or you can also buy ThunderShirts (animal anxiety vest), pheromone products, special collars or sprays that have a naturally calming feel to them. Those alone can make a big difference.”

If I plan to travel with my pet, what’s the best way to make sure they’re comfortable in the car?

“Try to get your pet acclimated to cars, especially cats, because the only time they’re in a car is to come to the vet, and then they’re completely stressed out when they do have to do it. Have them acclimated, but I’m not saying to just take them in the car every time you go somewhere. Have the kennel out, try using pheromone sprays before you go to calm them, have them accustomed to being in the kennel and then you can start on rides around the block. That way they can get more adjusted before you’re going multiple hours away at a time.”

done as well. It’s not just a one-time visit and you’re good for years. We have to continue seeing them multiple times while they’re young.

Microchipping is also a great idea and we do that here. I recommend it, because it’s an extra way to identify your animal, especially if their collar gets lost, and it’s permanent identification just under the skin between the shoulder blades that’s read with a microchip reader.

“My advice is to try and prepare yourself in all ways for everything that is involved for having a pet, including finances. Some people don’t calculate in the costs that come with maintaining the health of your animal, especially when they’re young. When it comes to animals outside of cats and dogs, definitely do your research. When it comes to animals such as rabbits, turtles, ferrets, hamsters or things like that, it seems like a lot of times people get pets for their children in those situations. Just know that it’s not always going to be the children taking care of them. Do your homework as far as what’s needed for care, feeding, accommodation and making sure what you’re getting yourself into.”

If I’m a new pet owner or looking into getting an animal, what’s the next step once I actually have my animal?

“There’s always that initial examination to make sure they’re healthy and to answer any questions for the owner. We’ll set up a vaccination and deworming schedule. From there, we talk about training and puppy school is always recommended. Getting that initial visit to make sure things are going well is probably the biggest thing. There are usually three to four visits when they’re a puppy or kitty, then there’s spaying and neutering that has to be

With Red River North Dog Obedience Club

R

ed River North Dog Obedience Club has been working with animals in the community for over 20 years.

This club is volunteer-led and licensed by the AKC (American Kennel Club) with a goal to help dogs of any breed be good fits for the community and good companions at home.

With a progressive class system, dogs of all ages and types are always welcome no matter what level of training they’re at. Trainer Lavonne Marubbio has spent much of her lifetime working with dogs, and has heaps of advice when it comes to the importance of getting your pup enrolled in proper training.

How early can I start my puppy in training classes?

“They can come in at 8 weeks old and we can take them up to 4 to 6 months. We find that with the toy breeds and other dogs that are extremely shy, you have to let them into Puppy Kindergarten up until about a year. We’ve got a progressive system where Puppy Kindergarten feeds into a class called Jump Start, which is a transitional class for the pups that are too

28

young for the basic obedience class but they’re done with the puppy class.

“Most of the time, 8 to 9 weeks is a good time to adopt a puppy. It’s also a good time to bond and change their allegiance from their littermates and their mother to a family. Eight weeks to 3 months old is a good time period. Even though they’re young and you know that you might not be able to train them with everything in the beginning, it’s important to get them used to being in different situations. You need to get them used to meeting different people and socializing with different dogs early on.”

What’s the most important training method for pet owners to take away from the classes?

“You’ll find that what you do with a puppy may be very different than the way you’d start training with an adult dog.

The puppy class is very gentle–no prong collars, no harsh corrections and we use positive training methods. The positive methods are when you see the dog doing something you don’t want it to do, you try to distract it or redirect it to something that it should be doing.

“Instead of saying ‘no’ to your dog all the time you say something different. If they’re biting you, let them know that it hurts and give them something else they can chew. Recognize that with puppies, biting and chewing drives us crazy the first six months but stops when they get their adult teeth. All of these problems are geared toward their developmental stage and we recognize those in each level of classes.

“The more positive you are with reinforcement and introducing those things to the puppy, they’re less likely to become

fearful or develop problems with behavior.

Patience is probably the most important characteristic that you as the owner need, and to remember not to overreact. Be respectful of your animal, because just like humans, there are times when they don’t want interaction.”

What does the average Puppy Kindergarten class entail?

“In the course of an evening’s class, we’ll get them out on the floor for some exercise. We want them to come out of the seven-week session knowing how to sit, go down, to stay, to wait at a door or gate and not barge through and to come when they’re called. Those are the very basic things that we teach them. The first few minutes of each class is devoted to that kind of educational training. We also encourage families to participate in the class so that training is consistent with all family members throughout the pup’s development.

“We try to emphasize that it's not just a playtime for the puppies and we want to make sure that people know what they’re doing with their puppy. We try to help the people who come in and perhaps have the wrong dog for their family, and help them find a way to integrate this dog or puppy into their household, into their family and into their circle of friends. It boils down to basic training and being respectful of the dog at all stages in its life.”

What’s the best way to integrate a new dog into my household, especially if I have already another animal?

“Don’t assume that they’re going to be friendly at the beginning. Do it gradually.

Usually it’s best to introduce the dogs on neutral ground, not in your own house.

Bring the existing dog out to meet the puppy some place like park or out on the lawn, a place that’s not the older dog’s territory, and let them interact a little bit.

“Giving the dog a place of it’s own, like a room or crate, is one of the best tools that has been developed as far as getting dogs integrated into households. It’s a place of their own. Let them be protective of that and respect their privacy. They all need that until they can learn to trust you.”

How does my emotional health affect the development of my pet?

“Dogs and cats pick up on our anxiety. If we’re stressed or feeling troubled, they know it right away. It either throws them for a loop or they become very caring and can try to be your nurse. If you’re extremely nervous as a person, or your behavior is really erratic, that can be really frightening to pets. If they’re introduced to you from an abusive situation, you may have a long hard time getting that dog willing to accept you and trust you.

“If you have stressful times in your family like divorce, moving or death, animals will pick up on that. They will either stay away from you because of the aromas and oras you give off during hard times, or they’ll feel they have to take care of you.

Our behavior and our attitude toward our animals really does affect the way they develop. That’s one of the reasons why much of the dog training world has now gone to very positive methods of training, and not using harsh methods of correction like shock collars.”

Do you have any advice on selecting the right breed for my lifestyle?

“We find that one of the problems in every

class is the impulse buy. Don’t just get a dog because it looks cute, because it might not be the best fit for your family.

"If it were an elderly couple, you wouldn’t want a high-activity border collie, for instance. If there are frail members of the family, you don’t want a big dog that will take down grandma and break her hip. If there are children, you’ll want a dog that’s more quiet and calm that can maybe be a nana for the kids, but maybe not a pitbull. There are lots of breeds that are very protective–German shepherds are very good with children and good family dogs, but they tend to be protective to one family. The dogs that are herders, the shelties or the collies, will sometimes try to chase and herd, so if kids are running they could get in there and do what they would do with sheep or cattle and that’s nip at the ankles to get them to move.

“You need to do some basic research before they make the commitment, because it is a huge commitment. The AKC (American Kennel Club) has a great directory of information on all the breeds. We tell everyone that this is a commitment for the life of the dog, and it’s your responsibility to take care of this dog, to make sure it’s healthy, well fed, well socialized and can enjoy life.”

With Hotdog! Pet Salon

How does grooming differ with the seasons?

“This time of year, it surprises people, but we book almost two months out. In the summer you really have to plan ahead because dogs do get hot, and then there are lake dogs that can need extra grooming. Shorter hair this time of year can also help with ticks too. When it comes to fleas and ticks, we’re seeing some spot-on treatments that aren’t working as much as they used to so oral treatments from your vet are probably best.

"In the winter, a lot of people do think that dogs need their coat length to stay warm, but matting can occur, especially with snow if their coat is wet. They are prone to matting and mattes do not keep them warm because there is no airflow under the skin, so it’s just as important to have them regularly groomed during the winter months.”

What do you recommend for new dog or puppy owners when it comes to grooming?

“A lot of people are getting new puppies this time of year and the sooner you can start them on a grooming regimen, the better. Start them young at 8 weeks and up. It’s really good to get them used to the grooming processes even if they’re not getting full haircuts all the time.”

How can I help reduce my pet's shedding?

“Spring and early summer is when we probably do the most of our low-shed package because dogs are blowing their coat and such. We use a special de-shed shampoo, then there’s a solution that goes on the coat that sits on for a few minutes and it helps pull out dead hair and it strengthens the hair follicles. For keeping shedding at bay, I’d recommend something like that every four to six weeks. We also use a few different types of brushes and do a lot of extra brushing for them.”

Brushing my pets’ teeth can be a real pain. Is there anything to make the process easier?

“Most people don’t realize that they have to do it in the first place, but it should be done a few times a week because it’s so important. There are nice things out there such as water additives and actually, a lot of toothpastes for dogs and cats are enzymatic, so as long as it gets in the mouth it works with their saliva and you don’t have to brush like you would our teeth.”

What do you recommend when it comes to finding the right place for my dog?

“I certainly recommend visiting a groomer first and finding a place that smells and looks clean. I know that we have dogs here all day and we have a lot of dog hair, but it really should be clean. Feel free to watch and see how they handle and interact with pets. There are a lot of good groomers, but there are some that can rush through things and if the dog is nervous, they wouldn’t benefit much from it.

“Talk with your groomer to get options for

your dog. For example, if they like a fluffier coat, that takes a lot more maintenance and they need to come in more, and then there’s a lot of brushing at home and we can show them how. If they’re okay with a shorter cut, that’s usually a lot less maintenance but people tend to learn the hard way that if they want a fluffy dog, they can be a lot of work.”

Do you ever hear any misconceptions about groomers?

“Most people think we ‘play with puppies all day,’ but our jobs are very physically and mentally demanding. Grooming requires copious amounts of patience, knowledge of standard breed cuts and skills with managing various coat types. Plus, you have to really know how to read animals.

Do we try to squeeze in some fun cuddle time with each pet? You bet! We definitely feel lucky to work with animals every day, even if it isn’t always easy.”

What sets Hotdog! Pet Salon apart from other groomers?

“We really focus on one-on-one interactions with the dogs, so we groom the dogs all the way through rather than

having them sitting for hours waiting to get groomed and seen. A lot of places are different where they’ll take multiple dogs in at once and then get to them as they get to them, but we’re about treating animals with respect and know that they can be nervous coming in, so we try to make it as stress-free as possible.

We’re full service and we do a lot of deshedding baths this time of year as well as treatments for nails, teeth brushing and all types of breed cuts.”

dogIDs Product Peek 1. Embroidered Nylon Collars

2. Leather Designer Collars - Made by artisan partners with name plates made by dogIDs.

What is dogIDs?

dogIDs is a Fargo-based e-commerce company that focuses on personalized products for dogs such as tags, collars, leashes, pet beds, bowls and other various accessories. All of the products are made right in their Downtown Fargo location and they specialize in using U.S.A.-made materials and laser-engraved plates, giving the products a lifetime guarantee. The company has an international clientele with a strong market in the U.S. and Canada alone.

CEO and founder Clint Howitz started the company in 2005 online, but it wasn’t until 2010 when he began hiring staff and finally took the company out of his basement to make it even more of a reality. The collar that really started it all is Howtiz’s invention of the ScruffTag collar, a collar with a tag that sits on the back of the dog’s neck right on their scruff. It makes the tag easy to read and if a dog is lost but someone is scared to come up to the dog, they can stand back and still easily read the tag for the owner’s information rather than trying to reach under the dog’s neck for tags.

Plus, there’s no jingling.

Why is dogIDs important?

entrepreneurial community with a strong love of animal welfare, this company goes beyond just making specialized pup products. “We put a strong emphasis on supporting the do-gooders in the industry.

Rescues and other dog organizations out there–we do whatever we can do support them. That’s really our driving force, is that we really want to make an impact and make changes happen for dogs everywhere,” said Howitz.

Marketing manager Hannah Savoy explained their Sponsor.Dog program through their website, which allows anyone to send products to shelter dogs in need with a percentage of the purchase proceeds going back to the rescue. At checkout on the dogIDs website, you can also donate to dog-related nonprofits through their Paw It Forward program.

The company selects an organization each quarter and matches part of the donations made up to $1,000 each month for the selected partner. By supporting dogIDs, you’re helping the lives of dogs everywhere.

“The motto is that we’re here to improve the lives of dogs, so it’s our goal that we’re always making the best for our best friends. A big statistic that we kind of run by is that one in every three lost dogs isn’t 4. Martingale Collar - Fleece-lined embroidered collar. Great for dogs who tend to pull.

Second Wag

Howitz also stated that he’s working on another company called Second Wag, a nonprofit organization that will be “part foundation, part crowd funding and part nonprofit marketplace.” One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to dog organizations, and Howitz said he plans to have everything live before Christmas.

“Say that a dog has been diagnosed with cancer and the family doesn’t really have the money for it. There are a lot of vets that will do things at a discount rate or set up payment plans and stuff like that, and they have little networks around them that help pay for costs,” said Howitz. “There are all these little pockets around the country that do this stuff, but not one central place where everybody can go to get stuff done. Second Wag will be a place for families and dogs in need to go and connect with people who want to help them. The main thing will be the connecting part of it and the network behind everything, to connect those people and dogs who need help with the people who want to help.”

turtle mountain animal rescue An Ongoing Rescue Story

hat do you want to be when you grow up?" This is the question no kid has immunity from. My answers varied from a marine biologist to a mermaid. All I really knew was that I loved animals and wanted to help them, but growing up in Fargo didn’t lend itself to deep sea, salt water explorations. I had to re-think my childhood aspirations.

C.J. English is a Fargo native and the author of the Amazon Kindle Best Selling Weight Loss book, "WTF am I Supposed to Eat?" English's breakout memoir "AFFAIRYTALE," debuted at No. 1 on Amazon Kindle in Diaries and Journals in 2015. She can be found locally at Rejuv Medical Aesthetic Clinic, where she offers private coaching for weight loss and wellness. She devotes the rest of her time to writing.

I’ve since had a successful career in fields unrelated to animal rescue, but my starry-eyed dreams of helping animals has never faded.

Although I have been involved in numerous ways through the years, it wasn’t until recently when I found a cause I could whole-heartedly get behind.

Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue (TMAR)

They are small, but mighty. This rescue organization is a husband-and-wife duo who have rescued 1,600 animals out of their own home just in the last few years. I stumbled upon them one deadly cold Saturday last January when I tagged along with a friend to a “surrender event.” Not knowing what it was or what to expect, I found myself mind blown, in a world four hours from my doorstep in Fargo that I never knew existed.

One long afternoon and 100 rescued dogs later, I had helped get 400 paws off of the frozen ground. A team of volunteers assisted in their transport to shelters near and far where they would get veterinary care and eventually be adopted. On the ride home, with more than a dozen dogs in blanketed kennels behind my seat, most of them severely dehydrated and some near starvation, all I kept thinking was, “Houston, we have a problem. A big, BIG problem.”

If we could rescue 100 dogs in three hours, how many more were out there in the fields, hiding under abandoned homes, curled up on the frozen tundra trying to stay alive? And why didn’t someone tell me? Then I realized that if I didn’t know this was happening, maybe other people didn’t know either. But now that I knew, I was going to let everyone else know. For an extrovert who actually likes public speaking, this was a mission I could tackle, I just didn’t quite know how.

I asked how I could help. After the obvious, and a bit of pondering, the answer became clear: I can write their stories. I can write their stories

to help raise awareness of the massive problem no one seems to know about and help raise funds so we can build a much-needed shelter.

Earlier this winter I wrote about the hundreds of dogs that die from exposure each year on that small patch of land four hours from my door.

What I learned after posting that story confirmed what I’d expected all along: If the citizens of North Dakota knew the problem existed, like me, they would help. They did.

People from all over North Dakota donated money and supplies toward the existing operations and a future shelter. North Dakotans from everywhere became part of the solution.

But the problem still exists, and that little bit of awareness was just that, a little bit of help.

The overpopulation problem on a tiny patch of land 31 miles by 31 miles has been ignored far too long and now is out of control. Since last January, all of the animals left in the reproductive cycle are breeding. Right now, unwanted litters are being born and the population boom is happening again. TMAR is actively working toward a solution each day.

Its founder’s efforts are tireless, and a small group of volunteers remain dedicated to the cause. 352 dogs were rescued in the last five months alone. The magnitude of effort, dog food, supplies, gas and time off work to take these animals into their homes, cars, garages and hearts is a feat of gigantic proportions.

These animals are not your neighbor's Golden Retriever–they are often covered from ear to tail in ticks and mange, starving, thirsty and scared.

Most survive, but some are too sick to make it to a shelter.

TMAR does not have an actual shelter.

There is no payroll, stream of funds or state grant money to support their efforts. Right now, TMAR is one home with an attached garage and a handful of volunteers that support them by driving dogs to safe homes all over the country.

The resources required to take in and transport 352 starving or sick dogs is staggering.

We are closer now to having a shelter than we were last January, but we’re not there yet.

That's why I will keep writing until the concrete is poured and the volunteers have a place to volunteer. Our goal is to build a shelter before the 2018 freeze when hundreds of dogs will again die of exposure.

#ProudToBePartOfTheSolution #ThisIsOnUSNorthDakota Thank you to founders Kim and Keith Benning– without you there would be nothing and a bigger problem would exist today. Thank you also to volunteers Jennie Belanus, Aliah Chappell, Trista Zacharias, Amanda Longie, Tanley Ravnaas and Candice Sunshine for your support of TMAR. Thank you also to Brenda Olson Wray for showing me the ropes, and for your dedication to the rescue community all over North Dakota.

A Fargo license costs $5 per year and can be purchased at select Fargo veterinary hospitals, the Fargo City Animal Pound or Fargo City Hall (Auditor's Office) or on cityoffargo.com with proof of updated rabies vaccinations.

You can also be subject to fines and penalties for failure to license your dog or cat should they ever be taken to the pound or picked up by a community services officer. Licensing can also make it easier for your pet to be returned to you if they go missing. In Moorhead, all dogs and cats over 6 months of age must be licensed annually by no later than February 15 of each year. In West Fargo, all dogs and cats over 12 weeks as well as restricted nonvenomous constricting snakes should be licensed and registered. (cityoffargo.com, cityofmoorhead.com, westfargond.gov)

One of the best parts about our limited time with beautiful summer weather is being able to enjoy food and drinks at one of FargoMoorhead's beloved patio establishments. Our recommendations this month all come from places where you can kick back, relax and enjoy your meal or beverage out in the sun on a welcoming patio.

Not-So-Skinny Vinny

Pepperoni, sausage and heaping helpings of fresh mozzarella cheese have never tasted as good as they do on this slice of pie. Pair it with Spicy Pie's new garlic knots and a cold beverage in a 22-ounce mug (of the adult nature) and you've got one heck of a meal that you'll want to come back for. Not to mention you can enjoy all of it out on the spacious patio and if it's in the evening, next to the beautiful fire pit.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

remembering Dr. David wells Lessons From A Champion For Innovation

I

t was a late morning on a Saturday when Miguel Danielson and I went to visit NDSU professor and entrepreneur champion Dr. David Wells in the hospital. He was recovering, or so we thought, from challenging health concerns. His breath was limited and his thoughts somewhat scattered, yet we had one of the most fascinating conversations of my life.

During the conversation, Dr. Wells pointed out that our community was ripe with innovation. He beamed with pride as he thought of his students. He

By Greg Tehven Photos by J. Alan Paul Photography

commended the effort of our economic development corporation for their efforts to support startups. He smiled as he thought about the participation of the private sector. And for a moment, he marveled at all the people that are committed to our startup ecosystem.

And then the challenge that I’ll never forget was posed. He took a deep breath, collected his thoughts and said in

a childlike manner with a grin, “Why are we not more aggressive? Why doesn’t our community bet bigger on innovation and problem solving? I know we can do more to improve people’s lives.”

It was my last conversation in person with Dr. Wells. Two weeks later, while in Europe giving a talk about the "Fargo Thesis," I got emails from friends and family stating that Dr. Wells' health had deteriorated. I quickly called him and he shared with me that he would be getting better soon and there was much work left to do. As the conversation closed, he shared that he was looking forward to having more energy to contribute to new ideas.

Greg Tehven is an entrepreneur advocate and one of the original founders of Emerging Prairie.

52 | JULY 2017 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

“Why are we not more aggressive?

Why doesn’t our community bet bigger on innovation and problem solving?

I know we can do more to improve people’s lives.”

And then I got the note shortly after 1 Million Cups on a Wednesday morning that Dr. Wells had passed away. A few days later, I attended his funeral and was amazed at the showing and support of his past students that attended and told stories of his belief in them. There is no doubt that it was a challenging week for me, NDSU’s campus and all of those that knew Dr. Wells.

As Emerging Prairie was getting started, Dr. Wells was one of the champions that brought the organization to life. He had regular attendance at Startup Drinks (usually with a healthy pour of red wine), spoke at Health Pitch, galvanized folks to attend TEDxFargo and became locally

famous for asking the first question at 1 Million Cups each week. He did little things to support our efforts such as buying a camera to share the stories and recruiting folks to attend our events. He invited entrepreneurs to his classes and he became the champion for innovation in our community.

wonderful details about the students and encouragement me to help them. It seemed he was on a constant mission to help them network and find partners for their ideas. His commitment to helping bridge campus to the community is unprecedented, and one we can all work toward continuing.

The man was a teacher. Not just because of his lectures or his classroom stories, but because of the way he approached life, participated in the community and challenged all of us to be better. I believe he left us a bit of homework on the way out of life, with three lessons we all need to learn:

3. Technology to improve lives.

It is my belief that Dr. Wells loved technology because of the impact it could have in people’s lives. Never did I hear him talk about how much money a founder could make or the potential power one could yield. His conversations were focused on the impact an idea or innovation could have on ordinary folks.

He had a pure heart, focused on solving problems, and he challenged all of us to have a relentless pursuit of our ideas in hopes of making the world just a little bit better.

1. Look for the good in ideas.

Dr. Wells attended 1 Million Cups nearly every week he was in town and didn’t have class. He would always ask raise his hand to ask the first question. Yet, before asking a question, he took a moment to congratulate the speaker on their “tremendous idea” and appreciate their work. In a world filled with folks who pride themselves on punching holes in ideas, Dr. Wells perfected the art of appreciation and support of the courage it takes to share an idea with the world.

2. Celebrate students.

Each event I saw Dr. Wells at, he would always bring over a small group of students and introduce me.

He had a fantastic knack for sharing

At Dr. Wells' funeral, there is no doubt I was sad. Saying goodbye to a friend and mentor is always painful. And yet, when the tears dried and I was alone, I let out a chuckle. I realized that his time on Earth may have passed, but his impact lives on in me, his students and hopefully all of you. It’s up to me, and hopefully up to you, to take his last exam. Let us apply his lessons and continue to push ourselves to build technology that can improve the lives of folks around the world.

Würst Bier Hall 630 1st Ave. N, Fargo

Beer + cocktails = beertails. That’s one of the new additions to Würst Bier Hall’s beverage menu that you shouldn’t let pass under your radar.

General manager Jason Cossette has 10 years of experience in the bar industry under his belt, and his featured beertail recipe is one that’s approachable, dynamic and even easy for you to try at home yourself. Trust us, beer adds a whole new flavorful twist to your favorite drinks.

BY Erica Rapp PHOTOS BY Paul Flessland 54 | JULY 2017 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Q&A What do you like most about working at Würst?

“The atmosphere is great. The owners are great people to work for. I love beer, and beer is our forte here.”

With the recent addition of spirits to Würst, what has been the response with clientele?

“It's been mostly word of mouth and people are catching on. One of the main things that we’ve done with it is come up with the beer cocktails, or beertails, because we wanted to stick with the beer theme. We came up with about four different beer cocktails that we’ve been pushing. People are slowly catching on to them, but I think we need to put it out there a little more that we have them.”

Do you have a certain spirit that you enjoy working with the most?

“I don’t have one specific favorite. Going into this, I looked at a lot of classic cocktails and we use those both in our house cocktails and with our beer cocktails.

For example, we have the Maker’s Manhattan, a rocks Martini and then on the beer cocktails, one of the first things I went with is a take on the traditional Tom Collins.

We call it a Hop Collins, because we add beer to it. So, I like playing with everything, and the classic cocktails are really where it’s at for me.”

Can you tell us about your beertail recipe?

“One of my favorite things is a bourbon sour, so I took our Hop Collins recipe and changed it up a little bit. It basically becomes a hoppy bourbon sour beer cocktail.”

Some might be hesitant about mixing beer and spirits.

What would you say to the beertail skeptics?

“Just try it, because you’ll love it. Going into it, even I was a little skeptical. I came up with some recipes and I brought my crew in to help. They looked good on paper, so I whipped some stuff up and we tried them and they were delicious. Beer just adds a whole new element into a cocktail and there are so many different flavor profiles.”

What’s a piece of advice you always stick to as a bartender?

“Always stay calm. That’s major anywhere throughout the bar industry. It’s an industry that can drive you crazy if you let it.”

“Hoppy Bourbon Sour” • 1 oz. Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky • ½ oz. simple syrup • 1 oz. lemon juice • Fargo Brewing Company’s Iron Horse Pale Ale Fill a tall glass with ice and add whiskey, simple syrup and lemon juice. Top off the rest of the glass with the beer and mix lightly.

Woodrow Apartments

Where

Old School meets

new School

A

ll it takes is one walk through either side of the Woodrow Apartments in Downtown Fargo for you to fall in love with the character and unique features of these living spaces.

Transformed from the former Woodrow Wilson School, the Woodrow Apartments offer amenity-filled historic and new construction apartment homes with everything you need and more when it comes to convenience and comfort. With so much to offer right in the heart of the city, not to mention the stunning beauty behind the history alone, there really isn’t much more one could ask for in a place to call home.

Quick Amenity Hits

• Midco internet, cable, water, central air and heat are included in rent.

• Each unit has a washer, dryer and dishwasher.

• Cats and dogs are welcome.

• Heated underground parking • Indoor multi-purpose gym with basketball hoops, event space, fitness equipment, storage and more.

• Outdoor courtyard with fire pits and grills.

• Resident lounge • 10-minute walk to Downtown Fargo.

• Free MATBUS connection at the property for NDSU, MSUM and Concordia students.

Next to the lobby lounge is a bike room with a tire pump and maintenance station.

A Historic Walk-Through

Kilbourne Group acquired the property, located off of University Drive in between Third and Fourth Avenue North, in 2014 and has since been at the forefront of the property’s transformation into two different areas of lifestyle apartments. Woodrow Wilson School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1917 and was the second-oldest remaining school building in Fargo next to Horace Mann. It served the community as a school for 95 years, and pieces of it live on with each apartment unit on the historic side.

“I would say early on, it wasn’t a given that it was going to be residential. We look at every building and every site from the beginning with wide, open eyes. There could have easily been a different use that would have surfaced,” said Mark Johnson, facility manager from Kilbourne Group.

“It’s a very large building, so finding uses that fill up this much area are few and far between.”

But Kilbourne Group saw much more potential in the entire property than just a

To keep the school theme alive, the numbers of each unit feature historic photos from the old school’s yesteryears and there’s wallpaper along the hallways adorned with letters and numbers. The floor plans and styles of the units are all named after former Woodrow Wilson teachers.

historic renovation of the old school.

“The way the school is situated toward the west side of the block left an entire open back area of the former parking lot. That gave us lots of room for more development,” said Johnson. “We studied the site in-depth over the course of probably a year before we came up with the current concept of having the historic school as it is with no additions, and then the new building next to it with kind of a more modern apartment building with underground parking and many modern amenities. There are many places for residents to go to enjoy a different setting.”

“When we acquired the building it was vacant, but now there are going to be at least 90 plus people or families living in here,” said Adrienne Olson, Kilbourne Group’s communications manager. “It's an opportunity to express both types of development we are committed to at Kilbourne Group: historic renovation and urban infill. The new addition is the infill project on the former parking lot, and then the other side is the historic renovation.”

NEW ADDITION UNIT

The new four-story building has been open for occupancy since February, and has studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom unit in the building for a total of 63 units. This side of the building also houses the underground parking complex.

Connecting this addition with the historic side is a resident lounge, a multi-purpose gymnasium,

58 | JULY 2017 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

a courtyard and more when it comes to amenities. You’ll also find all local art in the building, which was primarily curated by Mark Weiler at Ecce Art Gallery.

“The new building is completely modern and has a number of unique layouts, so you can pick what floor you want to be on because there's something of everything on each floor,” said Johnson.

Units in the new addition feature built-in working spaces with chalkboard paint, which is perfect for anyone who works from home.

HISTORIC UNITS

You won’t find two units that look the same on the beautifully renovated historic side between all 34 of them. Throughout the three floors, this side offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments most with the school’s original hardwood floor and all historically accurate windows. You’ll see original classroom walls with changes in the bricks and plaster that maintain the historic feel of the old school.

“These floors do have a little bit of creaking to them because they’re original, so when people are coming home at night we didn’t want people going down hardwood floors along the hallways. We salvaged all of the wood floors from the hallways to supplement the rooms where gaps occurred when we moved walls around,” said Johnson. “We also used some of the extra flooring in the gymnasium. Historically, the gym had a wood floor but over the years they had taken it out and put concrete and tile in there and we had to remove that. The wood that we salvaged

60 | JULY 2017 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

from the large hallways will go back into that to kind of restore it to its original state.”

A unique option on this side of the property is the Mezzanine units, where part of the unit is on the hallway/main level, but then there are steps that will lead down to the rest of the space. It adds a whole new level of depth, layers and character to a studio apartment.

“Where the old boiler room was, we’ve converted that into the Mezzanine units Much of the volume is what used to be the school’s boiler room, and the lower areas are where they stored the coal for the boiler,” said Johnson. “We had talked about turning the boiler room into an amenities space but in the end, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up to have such a unique living space.”

There are also two apartments on the historic side that have large, open doorways to the outdoors. Residents in these units essentially have their own exit and entrance with room for their own semiprivate patio space.

At the top of the windows where we opened things up, you can see the difference where the ceiling had been suspended before and the masonry changes to where the attic space was above.

Open to the public

2. In this photo, you can see a better view of the change in brick patterns where the attic used to be. “Many of the walls are plaster, and the masonry up there is called clay tile.

That’s something that was always exposed because it was in the attic and nobody cared what it looked like up there because it wasn’t seen. Once we took the whole ceiling down it was kind of a no-brainer to just get it cleaned up and leave it exposed,” said Johnson.

3. An interesting story also comes with the hanging door over the island, which is seen in nearly every unit on the historic side. These doors come from the coat closets that were in each of the old classrooms.

“What they would do is pull the door down and it would stop about a foot-and-a-half off the floor. The kids would hang their coats up, and the closets were connected to the building’s air handling system. It was heated, so the blowers would blow the heat through there,” said Johnson. “All the kids walked to school and if it was raining or snowing, they would hang their coats up, pull the closet door down and the air would draw through there and dry everything off. We were told by somebody who was familiar with the school that back in those days they didn’t have school lunch, so the kids would have to walk back home again if they didn’t bring their own. So sometimes they were leaving twice a day and would get wet all over again.”

4. There are many studio apartments available, and this one in particular is at the end of a hallway where the old bathrooms used to be. There was a big thick wall that all of the toilets back up to with the sinks on the opposite side, and you can see in the wall masonry where the plumbing chase used to be.

Calling all women in the FM and surrounding areas! Your tribe awaits you‌

WHAT? Fargo Wonder Woman (FW2) is a female empowerment group open to all women in Fargo-Moorhead and the surrounding areas. The purpose is to unite like-minded women through fitness, nutrition, mindfulness and overall wellness.

WHEN? Recently kicked off in May, FW2 will host all women events multiple times per year with a health and wellness twist. Most eventd will be free and range from sample fitness classes from local fitness facilities, healthy cooking classes, coffee and discussions, and grocery store tours, just to name a few. The day and time of events will vary depending on availability of the facility, activity, etc.

Most events will have a complimentary healthy treat of some sort and we will always wrap it up with a discussion about the real, raw things that women need to talk about with a close-knit tribe of women.

Our first event was held at CrossFit Fargo last month on June 17. Jessica Grondahl took us through a CrossFit-style workout that was modifiable for women at any fitness level. We then closed out the event with a tabletop discussion around conserving our energy and how to fill up our tank so that we can show up filled with energy for the people we love and the things we love to do. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a little caffeine from Sumbeano's Coffee Bar and post-workout protein, which was provided for us by the wonderful Power Plates Meal protein cookie donation.

WHO? This group is for any woman in the Fargo-Moorhead and surrounding areas who is looking for a tribe of like-minded women who have an interest in health, fitness, nutrition and overall wellness. All fitness levels are welcome. Ages 18 and up is suggested but not required, depending on the event.

WHY? No matter where you’re at on your health journey, it’s not always simple. It’s easy to fall off track, give into old, unhealthy habits and feel like you’re going at it alone. As a personal trainer and health coach, I found that my clients were looking for day-to-day accountability to stay on track and to keep them motivated. As much as I wish I could check in at all moments on their compliance and progress, I just can’t. But, by creating an amazing group of women who all want to better themselves mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, we’re able to create a really special bond right here in our very own community that provides that desired accountability!

The more we promote health and wellness in this area, the stronger we’ll make our community, and that’s important beyond measure.

HOW? If you’d like to join the tribe, find us on Facebook by searching "Fargo Wonder Woman" or email me directly at kylee@kyleeseifert.com for details.

S

ince 1984, TED has been sweeping the nation and bringing people together to share ideas worth spreading.

For those unfamiliar, TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas and inspiring. Aside from the popular TED Talks videos, it is most well known for TEDx events–local, self-organized events that bring people together to talk about a variety of topics, problems and passions.

In 2012, Greg Tehven, cofounder of Emerging Prairie, brought the first TEDx event to Fargo with a total attendance of 100 people. Co-organizer and Emerging Prairie’s director of community programs Annie Wood stated that this year, they’re planning to have about 2,000 people in the Civic Center for the event.

“Last year we had right around that same number so we’re starting to think that’s just about the right size for that event. There will also be 150 people who are volunteering the day of, so TEDxFargo continues to be an event where a lot of people in our community pitch in to make sure it happens. That’s something that we continue to be grateful for,” said Wood.

For This year’s theme focuses on

the word “for” and asking the question, “What are you for?”

Wood said, “In a world where so many people are against this or anti-that, we want to try and be solutions-oriented, so we’re asking that question and thought about speakers who could bring a new possibility to our community and who can help solve a challenge or problem in the region.”

At this year’s event, there will be 20 to 25 speakers ranging with 75 percent coming from all over the country and the rest coming from right here in the community. But these aren’t just any speakers– they’re all individuals who were chosen based on this year’s theme and what the event is trying to accomplish in the community.

“There’s a group I like to call the brain trust, and they really came together and said, “Hey, what are some of those things that we want to see in our community? What are some of the challenges that we want to try and help solve?” said Wood. “Something that we really worked toward this year was thinking about diversity– finding leaders and experts in their fields who are also people of diverse backgrounds.”

An Inspirational Experience “We will also have some fun surprises in the Civic Center.

We’ll continue to focus on that

attendee experience," said Wood.

It’s safe to say that TEDxFargo has become known for it’s incredible production quality (thanks to Livewire Entertainment) with almost a festival-like vibe inside the transformed Civic Center. In addition to the annual outdoor local lunch, a new feature that will be taking place this year is a pop-up bookstore hosted by Zandbroz Variety. TEDxFargo has partnered with the local business to go through every single past and current speaker of the event to curate a collection of books or pieces tied to each speaker.

Putting Ideas Into Action Another unique aspect of this event is that it goes beyond a day’s worth of inspirational speakers. Wood explained that there will be numerous community events, workshops and adventures happening the week of the event to help the community discover. Viewing parties of the talks post-event are also being organized in order to hopefully keep the momentum going with activating certain ideas. Wood also explained that they will be holding a regional workshop after the event to help other communities build and grow their own TEDx events.

“Each of our speakers will likely do one or two events

in the community during the week of TEDxFargo,” said Wood. “A lot of our speakers are really willing to give their time to push their idea forward and further into the community and by doing those events, we really hope to create champions in the community who can be those people that step up to the plate to take action.

“TEDxFargo has a goal of being the TEDx event in the world that is best known for activating the ideas in our community. We’re really trying to be intentional about the ‘and then what?’ part by giving people some pathways and opportunities to help put ideas into action,” said Wood. “Between the events happening the week of and then building these tribes around these ideas afterward, we can do more in that arena.”

Wood stated that Fargo falls into the “community lovers” category of TED events. That means that this event is put on in order to help drive the community forward, and that they think about what is right for it. The number of ways for attendees to be involved with this theme is truly extensive, and one can only discover the impactful possibilities that TEDxFargo holds simply by attending.

Q&A

Have you ever been to Fargo before or spoken at a TEDx event?

“No to both of those, but I’m excited for both of them.”

What can people expect from your TED Talk?

“We’re going to kind of dive into the idea of creativity. Not in the sense of food, per say, but more in the sense of, how do you create and what does that creation look like when it comes to building restaurants? As an example, how can you be creative with hospitality? We’re going to go through a lot of the statistics with restaurants, what they go through and the realities such as–the national restaurant average is that five to eight cents is made per one dollar, so how do

you get creative to make money? We’re going to touch on a lot of those types of topics.”

What made you decide to come back to the Midwest after living and working all over the world?

“I grew up here so it was really kind of happened more organically. It’s not that I necessarily set out to say that I’m going to move back to Minneapolis and when, but it was more–we found this really great space that was an office building and it wasn’t an restaurant. We felt that it would be a great opportunity for us to open up a restaurant here and everything just kind of fell into place and it made sense.

And I think for me and my job and what I do for a living is that so often I’m kind of told what it is that I’m going to do next,

especially when you’re a young chef, so this was an opportunity for me to pick and choose what I wanted to do.”

What’s a piece of advice that has stuck by you throughout your career that has aided in your success?

“I think it’s hard to define what success is because I feel like I’m still climbing that incredibly tall mountain, but I think humility is a really important part of our business and at the end of the day, we’re hospitalitarians. I cook food every single night. As my five year old would tell you, ‘Daddy you cook food for people at night, you have fun.’ There’s just no more reality to it than that.”

What’s something you think is important for aspiring chefs or restaurateurs to keep in mind when it comes to succeeding in the hospitality industry?

“I think the reality is that you have to have patiennce. What I find kind of interesting and very inspiring is that I’ve been fortunate enough to be around a lot of the best of the business for quite some time, and they truly are what make up our industry. What I think is kind of fascinating about that is the two things I always see out of the people who are even more successful and higher up than I am is that they’re still patient and more than that, they’re still curious. I think those two things, curiosity and patience, is what keeps you there. It seems like when I moved back from New York I became successful in Minneapolis but to be honest, I’ve been cooking for 21 years. So for me, this has been a 21-year journey, not a two-year journey

which is what people tend to think it is sometimes.”

The theme of TEDxFargo this year is “for” and really finding ways implement ideas into the community. Do you have any advice on implementing the ideas from your talk into our community?

“I mean, I think what I’ll be talking about is pretty abstract in the respect that it’s not just for restaurants because creativity can be used all around us and hospitality can be used all around you. I’ll give you an example. I was buying a newspaper one day and I said ‘Good morning’ to the cashier and he didn’t look up or say anything to me. I went to give him my money but I pulled it away from him like I was playing with him like a little kid would.

He looked up at me like he wanted to punch me, but I was like, ‘I just wanted to see if you’d give me eye contact. Good morning,’ and then I gave him the money.

You know? You’ve got to be creative and it’s about hospitality at the end of the day in so many aspects.”

Will you be hosting any adventures or activities outside of your talk at TEDxFargo?

“It looks like I’m doing a round table discussion at a local restaurant, but I’m not sure where or which one yet.”

What do hope for Fargoans to take away from your talk?

“I hope more than anything that they walk away inspired and motivated by the conversation. That’s the goal. I really look forward to the talk.”

Q&A

Have you been to Fargo before?

“I have and I include Fargo in my book. I came to Fargo because I had heard that all of this cool stuff was happening there.

Fargo is a place that gets underestimated a lot. I had heard about (Emerging Prairie’s) Greg Tehven and other people who were working really hard to make Fargo a cooler city and the kind of place that people wanted to come to and stay.

During my research I came to Fargo and I talked to a lot of people, and I really saw up close that a lot of people who live in Fargo are incredibly passionate about it and are really dedicating themselves to improving it and making it cooler. I actually talk about Fargo all of the time when I do presentations in other cities because I think it’s a great example of

a smaller city that has totally turned around its identity because of this, because people have decided to love and embrace where they live and make it better.”

Based on the theme of your book, “This Is Where You Belong,” when did you first realize the importance of loving where you live?

“I came to the realization that loving where you live mattered when I moved to my current town of Blacksburg, Virginia.

It was our (husband and family) sixth move and our fifth state in 13 years. I got here thinking that everything was going to be amazing and you know, this would be our own personal Mayberry in this small college town in southwest Virginia.

We got here and I realized really quickly that I didn’t like it. It was a little too small

for me, it rained all the time and it was very southern. I had been in the habit of when that happens, I would just move again and start plotting the next place we were going to go to. I realized this time that maybe part of the problem was me, and that maybe I needed to do things to actively change my behavior and my thought patterns about my town so that I could love it more.

“I started doing research and came across the idea of place attachment, which is the scientific term for loving where you live and feeling an emotional bond with your place. I began doing ‘love where you live’ experiments that were actions designed to make me feel more attached to my town, and doing those things really did just change how I felt.

I fell in love with my town and because of that, I am still really happy here and I feel part of the community. We’ve been here for five years now and we are not planning to move anytime soon. So really, you can change the way you feel not only about where you live but your whole life.”

What are some of those things you did that people can easily implement themselves in their own towns?

“The things that I did in my town were all fairly simple. There’s a lot of research that shows knowing and connecting with your neighbors and trusting them builds up your sense of well-being and your sense of connection in your place. So, I invited neighbors to dinner and took them muffins and things like that. I volunteered.

I tried to get politically involved and I joined my town’s citizen’s institute. I tried to become a regular at a restaurant. I went hiking a lot around here, because one of the ways we can feel more connected with our place is to get out in its nature.”

What can guests expect from the TEDx adventure you’ll be hosting that’s separate from your TED Talk?

“On the morning of TEDx, I was asked to do some easy and cool placemaking projects. Placemaking, to me at least, is this idea of doing little things to make your place more livable and more enjoyable. I haven’t nailed down what we’re going to be doing, but it may be something like putting Googly eyes on mailboxes, writing jokes and posting them on buildings or making sidewalk chalk art, things that are totally easy and fun. The idea is to give you a sense of ownership over your place. You’re making something interesting happen there and you’re making it a little bit more delightful for other people as well.”

What is the main idea you hope that Fargoans will take away from your talk?

“One of the things I talk about in my book that really resonates with a lot of people is the concept of the geographic cure, which is this magical thinking that a lot of us are prone to that says, ‘The next time is going to be better and my life will be perfect if I move to this other city.’ It’s kind of that ‘grass is greener’ restlessness sense that can apply to a lot of facets of our lives even in jobs and relationships.

Every time we get the slightest bit unhappy, we think we should switch everything up and it will be better. That works sometimes, or it works temporarily.

My talk will explore why we feel that way, some of the physiological and biological underpinnings of that restlessness and how we can learn to control those urges toward switching things up all the time.

The idea is to give people some tools for seeing their lives and their surroundings/ situations in new ways rather than always tending to quit the job, move to the new city and blow up your life. It’s about being happy with where you are right now.”
