22 Nukhet hendricksNukhet Hendricks, Executive Director of the Fargo/Moorhead Humane Society, isn’t afraid to try new things. As a result, she has learned – through experience – and demonstrates – by example – that being the change one wants to see in the world is a very successful way to make a difference.

30 Jim sweeneyJim Sweeney, president of the Fargo Jet Center, has watched his business grow tremendously during the last dozen years. A successful and award-winning fixed base operation, the Fargo Jet Center handles several thousand passen-gers each month, making it a significant gate-way to the community and the region. In ad-dition to handling a variety of transition traffic for private and corporate clients, the Fargo Jet Center operates in conjunction with sev-eral other departments.

36 Chris linnaresChris Linnares is a Brazilian import to Fargo-Moorhead who is teaching Midwestern women how to get in touch with their inner diva. Her mes-sage about accepting praise and accepting the best for yourself struck a chord with women in the Red River Valley. Linnares is a best-selling author and celebrity psychologist in her home country who now finds herself married to a native Fargoan which she says raises its own set of cultural challenges

44 RandoThe artist speaks about the discovery of a pas-sion that took him from surfing the beaches of California and the north shore of Oahu back to his hometown of Moorhead, Minnesota. He pro-vides an intricate look at the entire experience of art – the creative process, friendships, the ability to give back to the community, and the elation of getting up in the morning.

It is estimated that approximately 750 Fargo Public School elementary school children will not receive morning milk during the 2007-08 school year. The cost per semester is about $30 or $60 to provide milk for one child for the entire school year. The overall cost to provide milk for all needy children will be about $45,000.

Elementary school principals report there are a number of students not receiving milk at the morning break because their families cannot afford it. In some cases, if students did not get breakfast at home or through the school breakfast program, they are waiting until lunch to get some nutrition. This is an issue that impacts self-esteem, physical development, and the ability to learn due to diminished classroom attention.

The meal programs in the Fargo Public Schools are supported with limited federal funding. Low income students and families are assisted with either free or reduced cost meals, depending on their income level. However, there is no assistance funding of any kind for the morning milk break, which results in many children not getting milk and having to watch as other classmates do get it.

The number of families in Fargo living near or below the poverty level has increased in recent years. During the 2005-2006 school year, 21.4% of families qualified for meal assistance. In 2006-07, the number of families needing assistance increased to 22.9%.

Your tax deductible gift can help provide milk to allchildren. Please donate today.

The Fargo Public Schools Development Foundation, a non-profit organization, is coordinating a community appeal. Tax deductible donations can be made payable to FPS Foundation and sent to: FPS Foundation, 415 North 4th Street, Fargo, North Dakota 58102.

Please note on the check memo the gift is for the milk program. 100% of donations will be used to purchase milk. For further information contact the FPS Foundation at 701-446-1041

Diagnosed with melanoma in August 2002 Cancer-free since February 2003

Fargo, N.D.(701) 234-6161(800) 511-6161cancer.meritcare.com

When I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma — the deadliest skin cancer — I decided I was going to fi ght it with everything I had.

Failure was not an option.

My fi rst step? Research. I learned no matter what, make sure you go to a cancer center. Go to a place of depth where all they do is cancer. That’s where you’ll fi nd the most knowledgeable staff and where they’re geared up to offer national clinical trials. When you’re dealing with cancer, you want the best treatment possible, and often that’s available only through clinical trials.

MeritCare Roger Maris Cancer Center was the place for me. I was able to participate in a clinical trial that involved an aggressive, three-month chemotherapy plan.

I’m very happy to be here fi ve years later living a healthy, full life. My advice to anyone fi ghting cancer — go to a cancer center, period. It’s your best chance.

OPENREMARK

When I was a little girl my dad would take me to firehouse dances in our small southern Minnesota town. During the week we would dance to polka music with a band from LaCrosse, Wisconsin. In high school I taught a group of boys to dance before homecoming and prom. (They still remind me of this at class reunions.) When my mother tried to talk me into going to a college that didn’t allow dancing I said, “You’ve gotta be kidding me.” The rhythm of life – that’s what we’ve tried to capture in this issue of OPEN. The spirit of dance, flight, creativity and caring. Writer and WDAY broadcast personality, Tracy Briggs, caught the beat of Chris Linnares, who helps women soul search through samba, salsa and self awareness seminars. A Brazilian dancing diva, Chris tells her story about coping with life’s challenges. She’s also author of new book, “Cinderella on the Couch” and is referred to as the “Dr. Phil of Brazil.” Tracy, who hosted a WDAY WWII Honor Flight for local veterans, chronicles Chris’ journey to Fargo and her contributions to the pulse of the community. Busy working on his Masters of Fine Art in creative writing at MSUM, Jason Bordt took some time to visit with artist Rando, a Moorhead native whose life reads like a made-for-TV movie. Rando’s adventures have taken him from Oahu to Phoenix and back to the Fargo/Moorhead area. Join Rando as he chases his dreams and also gives back to the community. Local film critic, media expert, college instructor and writer Greg Carlson opens the world of The Fargo Jet Center and director Jim Sweeney. Apparently quite a few famous people fly in and out of Fargo, and most pass through the Jet Center. Read how Jim’s passion for the wild blue yonder and his innovative style have impacted the Fargo business community. Writer, transformational life coach and founder of Bock’s Office, Jodee Bock, shows us how a community can be measured by how it cares for the helpless ones. In this case, homeless animals and the Humane Society led by Nukhet Hendricks. Nukhet shares about her homeland, Turkey, and traces her journey to this country, community and the Humane Society. Look for the humorous story about her experiences as a foreign exchange student. In the end, you’ll want a new furry creature friend from the Humane Society. Be sure to check out the latest in fashion previews for men and women as well as home accessories. We also feature five travel “getaways” that are just around the corner at the Hotel Donaldson or down the road a ways – in Vergas, Lutsen, Minneapolis and Winnipeg. So OPEN it. Dance with Chris. Create with Rando. Fly with James. Care for the creatures with Nukhet. Let the beat go on. Enjoy the read. – Merrie Sue Holtan

Nukhet has always had a heart for service – and a will that’s strong. In fact, the reason she first came to America at all was because she had something to prove. Nukhet came to the U.S. as a foreign exchange student through AFS Intercultural Programs, formerly known as American Field Service. When AFS representatives came to her high school, she was one of two students recommended for the program by their teachers. Admission to the program involved passing a set of tests and being chosen by the program for admission.

Nukhet Hendricks is a great example of someone with a mission.

Originally from Adana, Turkey, the country’s fourth-larg-est city, Nukhet has lived in Fargo since 1990, and she loves everything her adopted hometown has to offer.

“If people say there is nothing to do in Fargo, then they aren’t looking hard enough,” she says with a laugh. “You have the opera, the symphony, the jazz arts group, the Straw Hat Players, the Main Avenue Theater, the commu-nity theater, all the colleges’ music performances, Fargo Theater, wine bars, I mean, my goodness. If there was something you wanted to do in Fargo, you could find it or just make a couple of calls and start having meet-ings.”

Nukhet is no stranger to meetings as the Executive Di-rector of the Fargo-Moorhead Humane Society where she lives her own personal mission every single day.

“I WANT TO LIVE A LIFE THAT MAKES MY HEART SING,” SHE SAID. “MY HEART HAS TO SAY – THIS IS GOOD. I FEEL GOOD DOING THIS. PEOPLE OR ANIMALS NEED TO BENEFIT BECAUSE I DID SOMETHING RIGHT. IT COULD BE ANYTHING. IF I DIE TOMORROW, I WILL DIE HAPPY AND PEACEFUL KNOWING THAT IN MY SHORT LIFE I DID A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR A

COUPLE OF PEOPLE. THAT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR ME.”

When 16-year-old Nukhet told her mother about the opportunity, her mother didn’t seem that interested, ac-cording to Nukhet.

“I came home and told my mother who is an elementary school teacher,” said Nukhet. “She kind of looked at me and said, ‘OK fine, take the test,’ and I knew she wasn’t taking me seriously, and that wasn’t going to do. So I told my dad and he said that if I won and passed the test, I would have his word that I could go.”That was when the determination Nukhet has become known for in the Fargo-Moorhead community first be-came apparent. She took the tests and won the scholar-ship.One of Nukhet’s defining moments on her first American adventure happened while traveling to her host family in Michigan City, Indiana.

“I was too young and too naïve to be afraid,” she said. “It didn’t hit me until I got lost somewhere between New York and Chicago. We were on a bus to Chicago and stopped somewhere in between. A Greek young lady and I got off the bus with everyone else to get something to eat and we came out and the bus was gone.

“I had very limited English and the other girl completely lost it,” she said. “She is just sobbing – and here I am; I have to take care of her and me at the same time. But when I found myself able to tell someone who we were and what happened, it was not only very scary but em-powering. So they were able to radio the bus – the bus came back. After that I think I wasn’t scared anymore.”

Although Nukhet had been reading Turkish and world classic literature since she was in the fourth grade and had studied English throughout her school years, she said she struggled a bit with conversational English in America. Her host sister helped her by giving her a copy of Gone With The Wind – in English.

“Most of the time I didn’t understand and I had to use the dictionary, but somewhere in the middle of the book something kicked in,” she said. “When I finished the book, I started dreaming in English.”

Nukhet graduated from high school with her class in Indiana and returned to Turkey to attend college, where she majored in English literature.

Although she didn’t know what she would do with her degree once she graduated from college, an experience she had after graduation turned out to be a foreshadow-ing of her future career – and her personal mission.

Nukhet was working for the ambassador of South Korea to Turkey. The military attaché’s eight-year-old daughter was struggling with English and needed a tutor in order for her to pass the English exams and be accepted into the school the ambassadors’ children attended in town. It seemed logical to ask Nukhet if she could tutor the girl.

“I guess there was a miscommunication,” she said. “I thought I was going to help her with her English – I did not know I was going to teach her to read and write in English; that was not my background. When I was first introduced to her, her brown eyes looking at me like I was the answer to her prayers – I can’t tell you what that did to me.

“Because her English wasn’t up to par, she was told she had learning disabilities, she was stupid, and almost kicked out of school,” she said. “Can you imagine what that does to an 8-year-old child? So here I am supposed

to teach her to read and write in English. I don’t know which of us spent more sleepless nights, her or me. She’s supposed to learn to read and write in English and be examined by the first-grade teachers and then she’d be accepted. I think God looks after children and fools and we had a child and a fool in that picture.”

Nukhet remembers how difficult the situation was – for both her and for the little girl.

“I think that was the best thing that happened to me. Not only did she pass, but they put her in second grade, not first. That was the most satisfying part of my job – volunteering with her. I thought to myself ‘I really have earned my diploma.’”

It was while working for the ambassador that Nukhet met the man who would become her first husband. He was an American stationed in Turkey, and they ended up back in America, first on the East Coast for three years, and, in 1990, in Fargo first and then in rural Minnesota.

Although she had never grown up with pets in Turkey – at that time she said animals were for farms and villages,

OPEN | 25

not for homes – her host family in Indiana did have a dog, so Nukhet was somewhat familiar with pets. When she moved outside of town in North Dakota, she was advised to get two cats to help with mice.

“I had never held kittens before and I held Polly and Willy at 7 weeks old and it was love at first sight,” she said. “They didn’t even see the inside of the garage. They were in the house from the start and never left the home.” Her dog Rascal joined the family a little later and, another cat, Hobo, “appeared in the garage and he wouldn’t leave so I said ‘come on in.’”

And the girl from Turkey who had never had pets before was hooked. In fact, her animals are the reason she

stayed in Fargo when her marriage didn’t work out.“I asked for and got full custody of my babies,” she said. “When we got divorced we had to sell the house, but I couldn’t rent with my four animals, so I purchased a house so my animals and I could be together. That grounded us in this community. I had become a US citizen in 1993 – thinking this was my home. When I got divorced in 1998 I knew I was going to start my personal life over, but not my whole life.”

Another cat, Kiki, joined Nukhet’s family when she mar-ried her husband Bryan in 2002. In addition to Bryan’s cat, Nukhet was also blessed with a beautiful step-daughter, Abby. Since then, Willy the cat and Rascal the dog passed away, they are still enjoying the company of Polly, Hobo and Kiki.

Nukhet is very drawn to her non-profit contributions for several reasons. “Working with non-profits for me wasn’t just demonstrating a set of skills – I was giving something of myself,” she said. “Because of that eight-year-old girl I was even learning new things. She was placing her trust in me to do the right thing by her. Whether we both got into that by coincidence, divine intervention or whatever. I benefited more in the end. Even almost 30 years later I’m still benefiting.”

Nukhet sees so much joy and satisfaction at the Humane Society – but there are some stories that aren’t as heart-warming.

“I see a lot of good because that’s what keeps us go-ing – lots of people spoil their pets and treat them very well,” she said. “But at the same time you see a lot of sad stories, too. It’s an exhilarating and heartbreaking job all rolled into one.”

Nukhet wants to use her position to educate the commu-nity about the mission of the Humane Society. Contrary to popular belief, the F-M Humane Society does not euthanize animals after a certain period of time and that is one of the reasons they cannot take every animal an owner wants to surrender. The physical space just doesn’t allow it.

She wants people to know that the Humane Society is a private non-profit adoption center that needs the sup-port of the community. She would love to move into a larger shelter to save more animals and also to enhance education about caring for their pets. She wants the best opportunity she can have to be the voice for the animals.

“I can’t change this all by myself, but I can do what I can in my part of the world,” said Nukhet. “When I think about the heartbreaking stories we see of animals being abandoned on our doorstep, I also have to put that into perspective. We live in a world where children are being hurt. It shouldn’t surprise me that people are cruel to animals. I don’t accept it, but this just makes me more determined to do my part. I can’t focus on the badness and let it eat at me so I can’t do what I can do.”

Her Turkish accent and bubbly personality have helped Nukhet establish her place in Fargo’s culture. But those traits also caused her at least a little difficulty when she first moved to Fargo from the East Coast. In fact, she thinks it may have been more difficult to move to Fargo from the East Coast than moving to the East Coast from Turkey.

“Fargo has gotten a lot more cosmopolitan,” she said. “Would you have thought of a wine bar in 1990’s Fargo? How about the Spiritual Expo? People are wonderful here. Would you have imagined a HoDo? Would you

have imagined downtown being the happening place it’s become?”

Nukhet has an obvious talent for finding the opportunity in every situation. Through all her experiences she has had

“I’ve learned that you can’t always take. I have to say this – when I hear people say it’s hard to fit in, hard to adjust to new plac-es, I smile to myself. When you go to a new place, people are nice and friendly, but I don’t think people are always waiting with open arms to welcome you. You need to become part of a community by giving to that community. You can’t take or expect to

receive without giving.”

Nukhet gives of herself in the Fargo-Moorhead com-munity by her participation on the boards of directors of the Women’s Business Exchange, the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, and the Women’s Fund. She is on the YWCA (Women of the Year) nominating committee, is past president of the Fargo Optimists, and she and her husband Bryan are members of the Red River Wine Society.

“You can’t be shy about friendships, otherwise you can’t meet new people,” she said. “One way to get to know people is to put yourself out there.”

Nukhet is moved to tears as she reflects on one of her favorite quotes.

“I love this quote by Gandhi: ‘The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated,’” she said. “Humane is different than human. The Humane Society work has touched me in a way that I can’t even express. When we are working with children … humans … there are times they can express their needs. They are sometimes able to speak

for themselves. Animals can’t.”

Nukhet is a woman who came to America on a dare and learned to make it on her own by giving back. By her very being, Nukhet invites others to make a difference in their own lives and communities by giving first. [OPEN]

Lining the edge of an open field near Hector International Airport is a row of more than a dozen gleaming airplanes. Some have just arrived and others are about to leave. All of the aircraft are clients of the Fargo Jet Center, a general aviation firm known in industry terminology as a fixed base operation. Jim Sweeney is the president of the Fargo Jet Center, and is one of the people central to the suc-cess of the various components that make up one of the community’s most exciting enterprises.

Sweeney, along with his brother Patrick, established the Fargo Jet Center in 1995, and grew it alongside Weather Modification Incorpo-rated, an atmospheric research and cloud seeding business. Way-Point Avionics, a maintenance and repair operation, and the Fargo Flight School, which provides pilot training for anyone interested in learning how to fly a plane, are additional departments of the Fargo Jet Center.

But the heart of their business is the Fargo Jet Center itself, a twenty-four hour, full service venture that includes a United States customs clearance office, jet refueling, more than one hundred-thousand square feet of hangar space for airplane storage, and a welcome place for pilots and passengers to rest and relax between their hours spent in the sky.

Jim Sweeney graduated from the University of North Dakota as a

business major. Like many people, he left the state upon the completion of his stud-ies. Jim moved away to work in the insur-ance industry in Minneapolis and Boston. He laughs softly about it now, but he vowed that he would never return to North Dakota. It was older brother Patrick who enticed Jim to come back in order to develop a new general aviation facility in Fargo.

Now, more than three thousand people travel through the Fargo Jet Center each month, and Jim takes a great deal of pride in having watched the robust development. As a businessman, Jim recognizes that this expansion has translated into financial suc-cess, but he is just as gratified that the Fargo Jet Center has made a name as one of the top transition destinations for corporate fliers. Three years ago, the Fargo Jet Center was ranked among the top thirty fixed base operators in North America, and received the 2004 Corporate Pilot’s Choice Award from Aviation International News.

Jim is deeply committed to quality service, saying “Our business is a significant gateway for the community. We have a responsibility to effectively and positively represent Fargo. This is where the first impression of Fargo happens for many people.” Additionally, many of the center’s clients work for well-known figures in the worlds of business, sports, music, and film. These passengers intend to keep a low profile, demanding anonymity, discretion, and confidentiality during their travels.

Jim admits that movie stars stop in Fargo on a regular basis, but the nature of his business requires that client privacy be respected by all the center’s team members. Jim chuckles as he says, “The staff doesn’t even tell me what’s going on in terms of arrivals. I don’t know who is landing here, and we don’t ask for autographs.”

Despite the perception that private aviation is only for the wealthy or famous, the Fargo Jet Center works with as many local fliers as it does with large corporations. Jim explains “Whether the aircraft is worth twenty-five thousand dollars or twenty-five millions dollars, owners are protective of their investments. Our number one concern is safety.”

Pilots Tom Case and Tom Case, a father and son team based in Mitchell, South Dakota, concur with Sweeney. The elder Case states, “With private aviation, your company is making an investment. You

are buying time and saving time, and this can be very profitable for a business.” The Cases have been using the Fargo Jet Center for eight years, and name it as their favorite transition stop. The younger Tom says, “We make close to 450 flights a year, and the Fargo Jet Center has customer service that is second to none. As a result of the jet center, I have made several close friends in Fargo.”

Other pilots have positive things to say about Sweeney and the Fargo Jet Center as well. Craig Holly, a local corporate pilot, has worked with the center for five years; “The jet center develops good relationships. They listen well, treat us fairly, and are always accommodating. Jim makes sure to find out how I am being treated and solicits ideas from us in order to make improvements.”

Tim Weaver, chief pilot for Big Country Air, says that the Fargo Jet Center is “one stop shopping for us. Everything is handled and the customer service is wonderful. It’s nice to call up and have everything ready.”

Sweeney’s easy-going manner and soft-spoken nature have also made him well liked among the jet center’s staff, which has grown from twelve employees to seventy. Marketing Manager Darren Hall, who works closely with Jim, comments on the jet center’s environ-ment; “Jim demonstrates a quality of leadership that focuses on an expectation of service at the highest level, and he makes sure that the whole team is on the same page. One thing that differentiates us is that many places are too busy to work with the customers. We go the extra distance.”

Sweeney walks through the hangars where the Federal Aviation Administration-licensed technicians in maintenance and avionics perform work that ranges from the routine to the highly specialized. Masses of multi-colored wires spew from the bellies of turbo props, jets, and helicopters. Jim looks at a plane being customized for air chemistry and sampling that will soon be on its way to Saudi Arabia. “It’s a laboratory in the sky,” he says, “and it will be flying to better understand the composition of the air.” Every plane is unique, and Jim explains that the many vintages and manufacturers of airplanes provide the techs with a variety of challenges, demanding a level of customization that means keeping up with constant change in the high technology world of aircraft.

The Fargo Jet Center sees all kinds of aircraft, from Cessna Caravan to Beechcraft King Air to the long range Gulfstream 550. Sweeney

himself has recently been pursuing a pi-lot’s license at his own school, and when he passes a bulletin board with photos of flight students, he eagerly shares many of their stories. People from every background imaginable choose to become private pilots, and Sweeney understands the allure. “Many of our team members are here because they have aviation in their blood.”

As he reflects on the past and scans the future of the Fargo Jet Center, Sweeney points out that a long-range private jet can now fly from Tokyo, Japan to Fargo non-stop. He asserts, “Fargo has the potential to become a destination city.” When asked to share what he would say to prospective visitors when faced with the question “Why Fargo?” Sweeney responds, “I would tell people thinking about Fargo that they will be pleasantly surprised. There is a real qual-ity of life here.” And as for his own vocation, Sweeney looks forward to work each morn-ing: “I’m learning new things every day, just like everybody else here.” [OPEN]

CHRIS LINNARES IS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU’D LOVE TO GET STUCK WITH ON AN ELEVATOR. NOT ONLY WOULD SHE KEEP YOU LAUGHING, SHE’D SOON HAVE YOU BELIEVING YOU COULD MOVE THE OTIS YOURSELF. LINNARES IS A PSYCHOLOGIST AND A NATIVE OF BRAZIL WHO IS EMPOWERING MIDWESTERN AMERICAN WOMEN TO EMBRACE AND CELEBRATE THEIR INNER DIVA.

SINCE FEBRUARY, LINNARES HAS BEEN HOSTING “DIVA DANCE” SEMINARS FOR WOMEN IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY, TEACHING THEM TO USE DANCE AS A WAY TO CONNECT WITH THEIR HAPPINESS.

HOW DOES AN APPROACH THAT USES SELF-AWARENESS AND THE SAMBA GO OVER IN A REGION FULL OF STOIC, PRACTICAL AND PERHAPS RHYTHMICALLY-CHALLENGED SCANDINAVIANS? LIKE A SALSA DANCER AT A WEDDING RECEPTION. AT FIRST, YOU WATCH WARILY BUT SOON REALIZE IT’S MORE FUN TO JOIN HER.

38 | OPEN

A DIVA IS BORN As a child, Linnares loved the spotlight and was already showing signs of delving in human behav-ior. When she was 12, she hosted and conducted what she calls “teenager groups.”

“I guess at 12, I already considered myself a teenager,” Linnares says. She later took dance classes and worked in children’s theatre in her native Sao Paulo, Brazil. But it was while living in West Virginia as an exchange student that another passion was ignited.

“I loved Oprah!”

She watched the psychologists who came on the program and she knew what she had to do. “I saw how I could combine my love of being on the stage with psychology.” During high school, she wrote herself a letter predicting in ten years she would work in TV and radio as a psycholo-gist and be married with two children. At her ten-year high school reunion she was living her letter’s reality and more. (She is actually a mom to 3 children; a daughter and two stepdaughters whom she calls “bonus” daughters.)

By 1995, a stint in professional theater lead to a radio show entitled, “Historias de Sucesso” which she produced and hosted. The program invited listeners to share their life-stories with a positive twist. Around the same time, Linnares began lecturing on human behavior. By 2001, she went back on the stage as an author and actress in the comedy, “Divas no Diva,” where she explored women’s self-esteem issues using humor and irony. Following the success of her show, Linnares launched the book “Divas no Diva,” which eventually hit the best sellers’ list. (Her latest book entitled “Cinderella on the Couch” is a humor-ous look at self-empowerment through the Cinderella

myth). She was becoming Brazil’s national spokesperson for the feminine universe.

A DREAM LEADS TO DESTINY Linnares’ career was in overdrive, but the woman who taught thousands of Brazil-ian women how to find happiness was having trouble finding her own. “I was achieving my goals, but I was really empty.”

But one night a dream led her to follow another path. “I dreamed of a man’s voice. He said ‘I love you, I miss you, I’m waiting for you in L.A.’ I trusted it to happen,” Linnares says. She took off for Los Angeles where she eventually met a production company executive named Maggie Soboil. Soboil was so taken with Linnares she half-joked that Linnares was going to marry Maggie’s business partner, Bill Marcil, Jr. of Fargo. They even went so far as to call Marcil’s voice mail and leave a message. “We were goofing around. I said ‘I’m going to be your wife, ha ha!’ We were just joking.”

But Marcil was intrigued enough to eventually meet Linnares in Los Angeles for what she thought was a busi-ness meeting and he thought was a date. “I couldn’t figure out why he was so dressed up,” she laughs.

“I remember thinking ‘This is never going to work. She’s so conceited. All she talks about is her career,’” he says.

They eventually became friends, but nothing more until they were nudged by a street corner psychic who told them they would become husband and wife. Linnares says, “We told her, ‘You’re nuts!’” But Linnares says something clicked and 5 months later they were engaged.

OPEN | 39

40 | OPEN

A DIFFERENT WORLD Following their wedding in August of 2005, Linnares and her new husband moved back to his hometown where Linnares found it wasn’t just the weather she had to get used to. She says, “In Brazil people are always hugging and kissing.” (Bill has a different take: “Hugging and kissing?! More like making out in public!”)

She continues, “I remember standing in line at a bank in Fargo with Billy and I starting hugging him” He discreetly shooshed her away. She adds with a smile, “That doesn’t happen in Brazil.” She soon came to realize this was a very different culture. By the early part of 2006, Linnares found herself deeply depressed. Her father had just died, she was 50 pounds overweight following the birth of her daughter, Luiza Bella, and she was enduring a brutal northern plains winter. “I told Billy this can’t be for humans. It’s for penguins. But people stayed anyway.” She also mourned her culture and her ‘old’ life with a career and friends. But faith got her through. “I had always had a selfish relationship with God. I had every-thing I ever wanted so I loved God.” But following her bout with postpartum depression she willed herself to approach her faith differently. “I told myself God put me here. This is where I need to be. I began to ask Him to use me. I asked God how I could give.” Her answer came in the form of an old love: dance. “I asked myself when I was so sad, ‘when was I happiest?’ I came to realize I was happiest while I was dancing.” (She asks the women at her Diva Dance seminars to try an experiment. Next time you’re angry at your husband for not doing the dishes, lock yourself in the bathroom and start swiveling your hips. Linnares says it’s hard to stay angry.) DIVA DANCE The next chapter of Linnares life journey was unfolding. “Through all of this I starting asking how I could combine my dance with the seminars I had been doing in Brazil,” Linnares says. Diva Dance was born. She says the theory is simple: every emotion is guided by a thought, our emotions direct our action and our actions define our destiny. “We cannot change what happens to us. We can change what we think about it. Dance is a way to achieve that because we can use dance to change our emotions,” she says.

During a seminar at Season’s at Rose Creek this spring, Linnares instructed the women in a basic dance routine which includes salsa and samba moves which prompted more than one woman to comment, “I don’t think Scandinavian bodies are supposed to move like this.” And Midwestern women definitely aren’t used to telling themselves, “I’m sexy!” while dancing. But that is what Linnares insists they do. There is nervous laughter in the beginning but by seminar’s end the women are belly-laughing and believing their own sex-appeal. There is hugging and tears and praise for people who just met.

Linnares says, “Too many people don’t know how to accept praise. Next time someone tells you ‘You are beautiful!’ Say ‘Yes, I am!’ She says praise works wonders on others and on yourself.

She says some women mistakenly come to Diva Dance seminars thinking they’ll just learn how to dance. But she says instead they learn to use dance as a “tool for self-discovery.” In fact, she says an area woman getting a divorce has booked her to hold a Diva Dance seminar for her and her friends. Linnares says another woman, a recovering alcoholic, told her she got more out of the Diva Dance seminar than out of her 12-step program. That’s why she does it. “My job is my mission whether it’s a seminar for 10 women or 100.”

And what of the woman who once thought Fargo was more suited for penguins? “I’m in love with Fargo! The people here are so pure, nice and honest. It’s paradise.” She’s surprised that people don’t honk at her when she takes too long at a stop light.

But her Midwestern husband has come around a bit as well. “She’s shown me it’s okay to show a little affection,” Bill laughs. They laugh and learn with each other. “She’s inspired me so much.”

Dr. Susan Mathison is a sponsor of the Diva Dance and went to high school with Bill. “Billy brought all of us a gift here. Chris is a gem!” When asked whether she is a truly a gem, Linnares takes her own advice, looks you straight in the eye, flashes a smile and says, “Yes, I am! Thank you!” [OPEN]

RE RANDO:

The joy of living out a dream

BY Jason bordt PHOTOS BY Nathan cote

WHAT makes someone truly change his or her life? The longevity of time? Family? A near-death experience? Goldie Hawn?

In Hawaii, about a month and a half before he settled back into the lower forty-eight, Rando got a call from his father. Rando’s grandmother was sick. While the beach and its waves, breaking like a surfer’s dream along the coastline, brought Rando immense contentment and peace, the importance of family tugged hard at his heart. He decided to move from the island beaches to Phoenix, Arizona.

It was moving this long distance, living with his pos-sessions in transport, when he began to dabble a bit in painting. He says, “One of the first paintings I did, I started just before I left Hawaii. Everything got shipped over before I left and I didn’t have anything for two or three weeks, so I started painting in Hawaii.”

With paintings under his arm, Rando walked around town, selling his art to a local bikini shop, a Mexican restaurant, and Gold’s Gym. This moderate success intrigued Rando, but the job waiting for him in Phoenix, Arizona, was along the same career path as his island life (minus the lure of the ocean), the food and beverage industry.

Then one night in Phoenix, an assailant brutally shot Rando in a tragic robbery, landing him in the hospital. He recalls, “I was about a month in the hospital and then three months where I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t even drink water. I would get my nutrition from an IV that I had to wear twenty-four hours a day.” During recovery, Rando lived with his father in Detroit Lakes.

Then Goldie appeared. “I saw Goldie Hawn on TV and she was saying if you figure out what you did as a kid and you can equate that to being an adult, that’s what you

really want to do. When you’re a kid, you do what you really want and that clicked and I thought well, I could start painting again,” says Rando.

The brief painting success in Hawaii followed by a bullet and Ms. Hawn kept Rando pondering, until he realized that all he really wanted to do every morn-ing was paint. Managing restaurants and resorts didn’t sound fun anymore.

He remembered sketching a little as a boy, his grand-mother always showing support and enthusiasm. “She said [Randy] your sketches look like a Pica-sso. So you’re Rando.” This fond memory, paying homage to his grandmoth-er, created and blended a new persona, this adult wanting free and pure like a child.

Rando, the artist was born.Rando explains, “In Detroit

Lakes I started painting in the yard – dad lives by Zorbaz – when a neighbor came by and said ‘is that for sale’ and I said ‘sure.’ Next I started thinking I could get some work at the fitness center so I painted some paintings and I just walked in the door with them and asked if they’d be interested.” A week later, the owners contacted Rando and pur-chased all of the paintings. Most of them currently

hang upstairs around the jogging track.

As Rando grew healthier and more confident in his abilities, he moved to Fargo, back to his roots. “My brother lives here and I moved in with him. It’s a bigger city…a little more action than Detroit Lakes had.” It will be three years this November that Fargo-Moorhead is home once again.

While Rando paints on canvas and has taken a re-cent affinity to carving, his most well known medium to the public is glass. “The glass fits my style really well,” he says. “What’s un-usual about the glass is the piece is painted flat and I can’t really see the other side of it so everything is kind of painted blind and let’s me be more free in my painting. I’m not so strict with my lines cause I really don’t know where the lines

are and what’s going to be happening on the other side.”

This idea of painting by reflection leaves Rando unable to see the compo-sition until it dries. Usually four to six hours later, he’ll lift it up to see what he’s got. Then there’s room for small touch-ups in the evening or next day, but this one or two-day pro-cess leaves little room for corrections. Each piece is

rather a learning progres-sion that Rando takes with him to the next endeavor.

“Usually I get a painting done in two days from start to finish. With glass I have to work fast. No reason to go over and over it. Once it’s down, that’s the final coat of the painting. There are no do-overs on glass.”

Still a relatively new artist, Rando is learning everyday. Most of his past paintings

have had a central figure or some sort of main portrait, where recently he says there’s been a shift in his work, a lot more going on, scenes rather than silhou-ettes.

While Rando has at-tained great success in Fargo-Moorhead, he is considered an outsider artist because of his lack of schooling or formal train-ing. He says, “I had no one to teach me. There’s

48 | OPEN

a few magazines out there, books you can read, but you still have to put the practice onto the canvas. It’s more just doing it.”

Self-taught, Rando would do studies of other artists. He believes passionately that art is something a person can learn by practice until he or she reaches a point of let-ting go. It’s not painting in the lines. It’s using the color. It’s moving the color through the painting.

Still, with dreams come reality. Struggling artists, musicians, writers know that in order to follow one’s dream, there’s still the matter of supporting oneself. He explains, “Unfortunately bills don’t stop because you didn’t sell a painting, so you have to have a business spin on it if you want to make a go of it and follow that dream.”

Through his years of experience with the food and bev-erage industry and working in fine dining, the business aspect of art is something that Rando embraces. “It’s so fun selling work,” he says. “When I first got to Fargo I had to think outside of my circle which was very limited. A lot of times I saw a need and I’d walk in and I’d ask if they wanted a painting. I got to the point where I would see a need, paint a painting, and bring it in. I had noth-ing to lose.”

This zealous nature and enthusiastic approach in meet-ing new people helped Rando land all kinds of work around town. He’s painted rockers Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger for the Broken Axe, abstract women six feet in size for Shannalee Boutique, a bison for Herd about the Prairie, male nudes for the I-beam, among others.

Rando insists when someone buys a painting from him that he’s involved in the entire process from painting to hanging the piece. Working with glass, paintings tend to be on the heavy side, so part of the reason involves correctly displaying them safely on the wall. But mostly, Rando says it’s just fun for him.

He explains, “I thought the painting was going to be the only exciting thing, but really so many other small things add up to this great experience, this chasing of the dream and part of it is making new friends.”

Another important aspect of the art experience for Ran-do is giving back to the community that has welcomed him. He has donated over fifteen paintings this year alone to places such as the Ronald McDonald House, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and specialty groups involving the symphony jazz. “I don’t know that I’ve ever turned down anyone that calls for a donation,” he says.

Bursting with life, at forty-seven years of age, I wondered if he had any regrets that he didn’t find this passion ear-lier in life. Did he ever think about that?

“Everyday,” he says. “I wish I would have done this when I was twenty. But at the same time, I don’t know that I would have known how to treat people right.”

Searching and finding dreams can be a tough endeavor. Rando pauses for a second, then advises, “it sounds so cliché and it just sounds ridiculous, but what I really have to say is if you have a dream, just chase it. Chase it with all your heart. I’m living that right now which is so amaz-ing.” [OPEN]

FALL/WINTER

Fall will be here soon and the urge to splurge on the season’s lat-est trends may seem tempting, but before you lose control of your pocket book take an inventory of your closet. Everyone has a few classic pieces and there is no better way to turn heads than to build vogue accessories on top of what you already have and love. For Fall think about the classics and then make them sing with a couple of accessory updates. If you are a complete slave to trends - more power to you, but those of you who want to build on what is always chic here is the key. White and black are both classics, but this fall season pairing them also happens to be hot. With an emphasis in accessories you can’t go wrong with an over-sized patterned bag and chunky bohemian jewelry to pop your simple solids and bold textures for wardrobe. If you’re going out at night and want comfort keep the denim dark and anything from skinny to a wider leg will work. You may even see some higher waist pants for ladies – enjoy the new feminine silhou-ette the new rise reveals. For the guys you will see an earth toned palette, so consider brown your new black. Remember to inventory before you buy and keep it simple.

Visits are anonymous and all expenses are paid by OPEN Magazine. New restaurants are generally allowed six weeks to establish themselves before OPEN Magazine makes a first visit. OPEN Picks are determined by food quality, menu selection, service, ambiance and value. The pricing indicator within OPEN Magazine’s restaurant listing takes into account what a typical patron might spend at the establishment. The editorial team takes into account time of day a patron is likely to visit as well as style of restaurant to determine if a typical dining experience may consist of a simple salad or sandwich to an evening dining event complete with appetizer, dinner, desert and beverage service. PLEASE NOTE: Although some restaurants in the area are noted in the higher cost bracket, all restaurants have lower cost options that are available.

GRAZIE'S ITALIAN GRILLUpon craving brick oven calzones and pizza, pasta sauces made by hand

and homemade Tiramisu you don’t have to travel all the way to Italy. Stop by

Grazie’s Italian Grill. If you’re overwhelmed by a myriad of enticing entrees

consider the Spicy Garlic, their signature dish made from red chili pepper

and garlic that builds on an oil- base and is tossed with penne noodles,

chicken and basil. For working dinners or groups of 40 or less consider

Grazie’s meeting room. Enjoy the daily lunch buffet M-F 11-2.

MONTE'S DOWNTOWNCome for a cocktail and stay for dinner and dessert at Monte’s Downtown.

The elegance of hardwood floors, white linen tablecloths and a glass bar make

Monte’s a classy option for dining and drinks. Don’t leave Monte’s without

sampling at least one of their prolific potables from dessert-worthy to classic.

The Chocolate Chip is a delectable play on a chocolate martini mixing white

crème de cocoa with Vanilla Stoli and punctuated by a chocolate rim. If you’re

staying for dinner, the Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut is an excellent option

with its tender and crunchy textures.

BARBARA'S FIRST AND DELIIf you like coffee, Barbara’s is an excellent option on First Avenue in Fargo; but if

you like coffee, homemade soups, hot meals including vegetarian cuisine, sand-

wiches made to order on freshly baked bread, desserts from decadent to divine,

Barbara’s is a perfect destination. The high walls, laid back furniture, contempo-

rary home décor products, and art accented by white latte cups and newspapers

in the hands of patrons make Barbara's your home away from home. Barbara's

is perfect for all your catering needs. Walk into Barbara's hungry and leave satis-

fied just counting the hours 'til you can return.

will find a lovely slice of Thailand. With a mission to provide Fargo-Moorhead

with an authentic experience in Thai food, Thai Orchid is a premiere lunch des-

enjoy a stir-fry in peanut sauces, and end with pumpkin custard.

Wisdom from the Goddess

Overflow with gratitude and wonder at all the little things that bless your life and you will soon awaken to the realization that nothing in life is a little thing. –The Grateful Goddess

The Grateful Goddess is a new and inspiring Fargo based business, born of women with grateful hearts and a de-sire to assist others in living in gratitude, friendship, love and joy. Based on the popular pastel art series by Darcy Simonson, Darcy and her business partner, Sheila Sornsin, co-created a whimsical gift line, with gentle, inspir-ing and empowering messages. Their intent is to invite women of all ages to celebrate their goddess through authentic living and recognizing and appreciating their individual dreams, strengths, talents and beauty.Darcy and Sheila include gratitude in the businesses name, as both have experienced how gratitude can impact a life. They agree that when people make a habit of feeling gratitude for the gifts life offers, they are rewarded with even greater blessings.

Gratitude has assisted both of them in realizing their dreams through the practice of being grateful for the things they wanted to have, as if they already had them. Darcy says, “This is done by celebrating the many gifts God is in the process of delivering to you. Feel the joy of receiving these gifts, anticipate them with gratitude and great ex-pectation, and they come. It’s amazing how often things have transpired for both Sheila and I through this prac-tice. An example might be, if you’re experiencing a drought get out your umbrella. Imagine splashing through muddle puddles, and do it with anticipation and appreciation. Feel it, believe it, experience it!” From Darcy and Sheila’s experience, practicing gratitude can heal a difficult relationship, ignite passion, im-prove self-esteem, create abundance, and build success. “Grateful” is the perfect sentiment for this project, they believe, as gratitude is the foundation for creating anything, including a business.

The Grateful Goddess is also excited about the opportunity to help connect women. Both Darcy and Sheila have noticed a need for women to find a fun, friendly way to connect with each other. Work and family are very im-portant, they readily admit, but friendships add color and depth to life. “I belong to a number of social circles, everything from a golf group who doesn’t play golf, to a supper club that has to create foods that go with unlikely themes like ‘Queen’. People frequently respond with, “I wish I had a group like that, sounds like so much fun.” Darcy’s had the same reaction from women when she talks about her social outlet, ‘the cowgirls,’ who don’t ride horses, by the way. So we know there is a need for giving women an outlet to come together and make new friends. We are already getting feedback that men want a role in the goddess gatherings, and well… we are work-ing on that,” Sheila says with a grin.

The Grateful Goddess is primarily a web-based retail business with whimsical artwork in posters, prints, greet-ing cards, CDs, jewelry and clothing. Cards and posters are currently available at Zandbroz. New products are in development and will soon include gratitude journals and gratitude stone necklaces, among other unique items. In conjunction with the gift line, Grateful Goddess Gatherings are scheduled monthly at various venues. While primarily a social event, each gathering incorporates an inspirational message or activity. Future gatherings will include such activities as creating vision boards, gratitude journaling, belly dancing, meditation, yoga, discus-sion on money, parenting, spirituality, the power of words, and much more. To learn more about The Grateful Goddess, go to www.thegratefulgoddess.com or call 701.232.1015.
