PUBLISHER'S LETTER
B
ack in the SO's after we came to the United
States my immigrant family was more concerned about other things. My mother did a
commendable job just trying to absorb a new
culture and support us; she didn't have time to
provide us with the cultural fineries of life. Nevertheless, an appreciation for classical music and
love for ballet was passed on and I was able to take
ballet lessons from the age of seven until sometime during high school when I decided that the
dedication it took to become the best was not
within me. But the love and appreciation of music,
dance, and theater was deeply rooted and will always be an important part of my life.
In those days, children didn't have quite as
many opportunities to enjoy the arts as they do
today. My daughter, Meredith, 5, has already had
the fortune of being exposed to music, dance, and
theater all because of the wonderful cultural resources of this community. We have many wonderful cultural opportunities considering our population base. Protecting, supporting, and encouraging these precious advantages becomes everyone's responsibility. It is an integral component of
our high quality of life in Ft. Collins.
Sandy Cowan , our feature writer interviewed
many key people to learn more about the state of
the arts in Ft. Collins. Read about her findings on
page 52.

S
ome of the freshest looks this season begin with a
new attitude,a stylized approach to health and
beauty. The clear emphasis is on the appearance
of "less" - simple and natural.
Although that attitude seems to be universal, the
trends in health and beauty in Fort Collins are much
different than those around the world. Face it, Paris and
Fort Collins are as different as night and day. So, in
reporting what's new and different, Style tapped into the
wealth of knowledge held by the Fort Collins merchants
and trained professionals.
Beauty Now
Natural beauty isn't as elusive as it may seem. The skin, like the body
requires fresh air, water, exercise, and nutritiou~ foods. Addi~g a
natural skin-care regimen can be the key to beautiful healthy sk1n. A
natural skin care regimen includes a combination of natural products
which haven't been artificially treated or supplemented. Care should
be taken in choosing the correct skin-care products.
The first step is to seek a reputable and knowledgeable sales
staff. A reputable salesperson will first determine the skin type of the
client, taking into consideration the needs of the client. A reputa?le
store will also provide samples to try for color and feel before sett1ng
an appropriate regimen. Special products should also be recommended for people over 30 or for those with problem skin . These
products should promote healing as well as encourage the skin to
function.
Natural skin care lines such as Borlind, Clarins, Dr. Hauschka,
Lancaster, Aubrey, and Weleda are recommended .

Once considered a frivolous luxury, the pedicure is today considered a relaxing and beneficial salon treatment.
The feet have become an important factor in body care. The
art of pedicure is to completely relax the client through soothing surroundings and a relaxing, regenerative message.
Routine pedicures not only result in smooth, well-groomed
feet, but they can prevent corns and
callouses. Since women are more prone to
foot problems, often a result of tight-fitting
shoes, more frequent pedicures are recommended.
The pedicure process involves a
lengthy series of therapeutic techniques.
First the feet are soaked in warm, sudsy
water and dried with a soft towel. The cuticles are then removed and the toenails
properly shaped. The softened cuticles are
pushed back, and nippers remove any loose
skin. The feet are then soaked again and
rough skin is removed with a pumice stone.
A soft brush is used for final clean up. The
final two steps include foot messages with
lotions or oils and painting the toenails, if so
desired.
For proper foot care and maintenance,
pedicurists suggest getting a pedicure every
four weeks.

A Ray of
Hope
Tanning safety is important.
Avoid tann ing systems that use
a high UVB ray which can cause
burning and harm to the skin.
Select a tanning system that
utilizes the ultraviolet A, a tan ning ray , and uses less than one
percent of the ultraviolet Bray , a
burning ray . A healthy tan can
increase one's physical beauty
as well as benefit one's mental
attitude.

Color Thrills
The newest hair color options include a semi-permanent color
treatment that is less intense than
a permanent treatment. The semipermanent color lasts four to six
weeks and contains processors,
but no peroxide. It works as a hair
enhancer , adding shine , depth and
highlights. Semipermanent hair
color makes the hair appear to
have highlights, which disguise
rather than hide graying hair.
Permanent hair color is used
to achieve the newest high-fashion shades and gives color with
more intensity and depth. A developer is used to assist the hair to
absorb the lasting new shade.

Eyeurear Fashion
Today there are many choices in the selection of the proper
eyewear. Many people think that fashion eyewear is only for the
rich and famous, but think again. Women and men from all walks
of life can chose fashion eyewear to complement their appearance while correcting their vision.
With all the options and different styles of frames, many
people find it difficult to select the frame that will work for them.
Frame manufactures closely track color trends, looking to fabric
companies and fashion designers for clues about which colors
are popular. Recent favorites are pastels, earth tones, and
shades ofpurple. By taking careful note of a person 's natural skin
tone, hair and eye color, a suitable frame color can be recommended. Some of the basic guidelines are:
•:• Blond hair- pastel colors, tortoise shell or gold;
•:• Brown hair - gold, a medium shade of brown, red,
green, blue or tortoise shell;
•:• Dark brown hair- bright color or gold;
•:• Red hair- golds or greens;
•:• Gray or white hair - silver or pale shades of blue or
rose.
Once the color of a frame is selected, the overall shape of the
face must be considered next. The various shapes include
square, oval, round, oblong, and heart shaped. Each of these
types have different frame shapes that will work better for the face
shape.
Many frame companies are concentrating on the durability of
their frames. New advances include a titanium frame by Marchon
that is able to be crushed in half and bounce back to its original
shape. Titanium is not new to the market; it is included in most
cameras and sophisticated instruments. It has only been in the
last few years that frame companies have taken advantage of
its durability and flexibility. Rimless frames are now coming
back with new solder junctions that allow the frame to be sat
on, then easily returned to its original shape with a little effort.
With all the choices available, the single most important
decision is selecting a frame that fits. A skillful dispenser will
provide many choices that not only fit the nose, but also fall into
the areas of correct geometric shape and coloring for the
individual. An uncomfortable frame will provide hours of discontent while a great fitting frame can be a welcomed fashion
accessory.
Once an adequate stylish frame is selected, the next
phase is to provide a prescription to correct the patient's vision.
A comprehensive eye examination is needed to report the
functional status, refractive error, and ocular health of the
eyes. Many different tests go into the writing of a prescription.
Some of these include addressing the patient's chief complaint, depth perception, color vision, eye turns, and ocular
health.
The American Optometric Association recommends
yearly eye examinations for adults over the age of 35 and
children should be examined before the age of four. Many new
advances have emerged in the optometry field including visual
field testing, contrast sensitivity, and retinal photography.
These tests allow your eyecare professional the ability to
provide early detection of glaucoma, neurological, and systemic diseases.

What personal goal do you
want to reach with your
workout plan? That's the
first question a personal
trainer will ask you when
you start talking about
getting in shape. And your
answer, whatever it may
be, along with the answer
to the second question,
"Why?" is the single most
important part of the personal program and stick·
ing with it depends on
knowing what you want
to achieve. Do you want
more stamina? Smoother
body lines? Better muscle
tone? A stronger upper
body? Increased flexibility?
Most women, when
asked why they want to
get in shape, will respond
with the desire to have a
more attractive body, to
enjoy a healthier life, and
·to participate more fully
in physical activities.
From your answers to
what and why, plus a
health profile, a current
fitness assessment and
information about your
preference in exercise
activity, the design for
your own perfect-fit fitness plan will emerge. And
you'll be ready to take the
first step toward your fitness goal.
With your personal
workout plan in hand and
a personal trainer at your
side, the opportunity for
you to be successfully fit
is more than just good.
It's great. You'll have all
the help, attention, and
encouragement you'll
need, as well as the perfect program designed
just for you.

In this harsh, dry climate, regular manicures and
pedicures not only provide soothing relief and
healthy nails, but also physical relaxation. For the
natural nail look, try a silk wrap. Light and naturallooking, silk wraps help preserve the nails at any
desired length. A linen wrap is a fabric treatment
which makes the nail more durable, superb for
hard-to-maintain nails. For those who have never
had long nails, sculptured nails can create that
opportunity. Sculptured nails have the most versatility and can be styled to match the needs of the
person.

"Changing your focus
from sickness to wellness."
STYLE
Cosmetic surgery has never been more
popular or available; in part because it's
become widely accepted but also because
many of the procedures have become
technically simplified.
But what about those unsightly spider veins? What is involved in removing
them? How safe is it? What is the recovery
time?
Spider veins most commonly invade
the back-side of the knees, the thighs, or
the upper calves in women over 30. Some
women are destined to have the bluish
discolorations; spider veins are hereditary. Other causative factors may be local
trauma to that area or an influence of
estrogen from pregnancy, oral contraceptives or estrogen replacement following a hysterectomy.
Spider veins can be treated by one of
three methods. Sclerotherapy, the injection of sclerosing agents into a blood
vessel in order to scar the inside of the
vessel, has the highest success rate, and
requires no anesthesia during treatment.
Laser treatments are usually performed
on veins too small for sclerotherapy,
succeeding only 65 percent of the time.
Surgical excision is generally only used
for varicose veins or on a localized "nest"
of spider veins. Laser and excision treatments require local anesthesia.
Despite treatment, most women will
develop new spider veins; treatment
doesn't prevent formation of new veins.
Part of the unpredictability of spider
vein removal lies in the fact that each
woman's body heals differently. Complications aren't uncommon. Women who
utilize sclerotherapy run the risk of blood
leaking from the veins, which leave brown
spots that may take two weeks to six
months to go away. Other complications
may be scarring, blood clotting, and the
formation of new, smaller spider veins
around the original vein that appear pink
in color. Sclerotherapy patients almost always require more than one treatment.
Using laser techniques to remove
spider veins may require two or three
treatments. One treatment usually removes up to 60 percent of the spider vein
problem, but doesn't totally obliterate the
unsightly veins. Tiny white scars may
alsoappearoverthe treated vessels. Scarring may also result from excision treatments.

Proven Help for Hair Loss
Each year, consumers spend millions of dollars attempting to stem
their hair loss and restore lost hair. Experts say there is no guaranteed cure for baldness, and the new wonder products minoxidil and
omexin have yet to be proven successful in permanently replacing
lost hair.
Male pattern baldness affects over 50 million men and women .
Hair follicles slowly die, caused by the thickening of the scalp with
age and by loss of elasticity. In a worse-case scenario, large
portions of the scalp are left bald.
But hope springs eternal for many seeking solutions to this
problem . And now Redken , an innovative industry leader in hair
care and beauty products , has developed Vivagen , a thinning hair
enrichment program . A dual product system, Vivagen shampoo and
Vivagen hair enrichment treatment are designed to be used
together on a daily basis for several months, and then several times
weekly for maximum results.
The system is based on results from an exhaustive scientific
study of thinning hair. A previously undocumented theory emerged :
calcium build-up on the hair causes the end of the hair's growth
cycle. The Vivagen treatment program was formulated to reduce
the level of calcium in the hair, retarding the rate of hair loss.
Redken claims over 79 percent of those testing Vivagen experienced a decrease in hair loss after just two months of use. They
reported "more hair", "fuller hair", and the need for "more frequent
hair cuts". A client, after regularly using Vivagen for the past year, is
experiencing a return of some hair growth on a previously bald area

Vivagen is not inexpensive; a 10-ounce
bottle of shampoo is $7.50 , and a month's
supply of the treatment is $40. Yet the cost is

South College has been in Fort Collins one
year, although the company is 15 years
old. Christine Hunsucker, area director for
Weight Loss Clinic said that they "don't
believe in magic, pills, powders, or shots to
lose weight." What they believe in is changing their clients' habits through behavior
modification, dealing with eating and emotions to sustain a permanent weight loss.
The newest weight loss program in
Fort Collins is the Physicians Weight Loss
Center. Owner Ken Turner opened the
center in October, but the company has
been in existence for 12 years.
Turner said that the Physicians Weight
Loss Center offers safe, effective, and permanent weight loss to its clients. Safe, because a series of tests are done on each
client at the beginning and throughout the
weight loss process to ensure that the
client is staying healthy while losing weight.
A client will take a blood chemistry test, an
EKG, and a body composition analysis
(percentage of body fat) before even beginning the program . Clients are monitored
throughout the program with an EKG every
five weeks and a blood chemistry test
every 10 weeks.
According to Turner, their program is
effective because their clients will lose
three to four pounds of fat a week on their
diet. Clients start out eating 500 calories
per day, working up to 700 calories until
they reach their goal weight. Clients are
given potassium three times daily plus
vitamins and minerals. Behavior modification and counseling are also included in
their program .
Like the rest of the weight loss programs featured, Physicians Weight Loss
Center offers a maintenance program to
help their clients keep their slim figures.
Physicians Weight Loss Center is located
at 2001 South Shields , Building F, in the
Spring Creek Medical Plaza.
Cost of the weight loss programs featured will have to be discussed privately
with a representative from each program .
So whether you have five pounds or 50
pounds to lose, there are many diverse
programs in our community to fit your
needs. You can be looking good and feeling great in time for swimsuit season.

Hair Today~
Gone
ToDtorrow
Today, men and women are shaving,
tweezing, waxing, and using chemical
depilatories to remove unwanted hair.
Yet the most effective way to remove
excess hair permanently is through
professional electrolysis.
Electrology is a sensible choice for
removing superfluous hair. By the time
a person with a hair problem consults
an electrologist, they have probably
tried every means possible to rid
themselves of the unwanted hair. Yet all
other methods give temporary relief,
and many can cause more damage by
encouraging hair growth.
Many women suffer psychological
trauma from unwanted hair. What is
traumatic isn't so much the hair
problem, but the, psychological problem of feeling unfeminine.
Most electrolysis patrons simply
have "excessive hair growth," often
triggered by puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or the intake of hormonal type
drugs.
Electrolysis is the permanent removal of individual hairs. A fine wire
filament is inserted into each hair
follicle coming in contact with the
dermal papilla, the bulbous root of the
hair shaft where growth originates. A
current is passed through the filament;
when it reaches the papilla it renders
the hair ineffective. The hair and root
are then removed. Even though a small
area may be treated, some hairs won't
be visible at this time, due to other temporary methods used to remove the
hair. That is why repeated treatments
are necessary. Treatment times will vary
depending on the degree of the problem.
Although it is an intricate and timeconsuming process, more and more
people are turning to electrolysis; not
only for cosmetic reasons but because
the results are permanent.
Most electrologists offer a complimentary consultation, at which time the
patron can ask questions and receive a
sample of the treatment before a permanent program is prescribed.
Although there are no laws in Colorado concerning the electrolysis field,
the patron's greatest concern should be
the knowledge and qualifications
possessed by an electrologist and the
methods of sanitation and sterilization
used.

Changes To Watch
Best looks for hair in 1989.
For women , hair is longer and straighter,
falling in softer waves rather than the tight
perms we've seen in '88. For men, the look is
either very short or very long. Men are choosing to enhance their styles with spot perms
and spot color to cover gray or enhance
natural color. Prisms are the latest in combining color and conditioning treatments. They
provide a great way to jazz up your look
during the winter and spring months. Available in neutral, natural shades, and color
highlights, each treatment takes from 15-30
minutes to apply and lasts four to six weeks.
Naturalizing clips are being used to
replace the use of highlighting caps. The clips
enable the designer and client to choose
exactly where the highlighting will appear.

Eyewear Trends
The biggest change in eyewear involves a
major change in attitude. Eyewear has grown
from a necessary evil to an important fashion
accessory. Women are buying multiple pairs
of glasses to match various outfits, occasions, and whims.
New trends have emerged as a result of
the attitude adjustments. Vivid-colored frames
in light, casual styles by Benetton and Esprit
can dramatically accent different outfits. The
straight-bar brow frames and rimless glasses
have become extremelypopular.
Trendy are the high-priced eyewearfrom
Austria, France, and Italy, as well as customdesigned eyewear including frames set with
jewel stones.
A similar trend exists with sunglasses,
again with more emphasis on limited-edition
styling. People are buying multiple sunglasses, often of the aviator and '50s styles.

he arts-an integral part of any healthy community.
Especially so in Fort Collins, where the arts are a $9
million industry. Local and regional influences produce what many believe is a vibrant arts community
in the Choice City, aided by the natural beauty of Fort
Collins' setting and the cultural opportunities and
creative inspiration provided by Colorado State University.
doubt about it, arts-related events abound here. In
1988, there were 480 performances and arts events. There
were 220 separate events offered by 28 arts groups. Substantial opportunities for potential cultural enjoyment are here.
But how are the arts , as represented by the arts groups
and individual artists, really faring in Fort Collins?
We decided to find out.
We interviewed 11 arts groups and four fine artists as a
sampling of the artistic community. Ten of the groups were
non-profits; five were performing groups, and three were
visually-oriented. Due to space and time involved, we could not
possibly reach all the arts groups and all the individual artists
in Fort Collins. And we couldn't possibly cover all their concerns.
But we found, not surprisingly, that Fort Collins is no
exception to the inexorable laws of Darwinian longevity for
both arts groups and individual artists. Only the fittest survive
here, but they are helped by the relatively young ages and high
income and education levels of the populace. The community's financial support helps the arts survive, especially the
non-profit groups, and the arts, in a manner of speaking, reciprocate. Sell-outs, rave reviews , and other marks of artistic
success are not uncommon .
We confirmed what we suspected -that artists living and
working in Fort Collins, like artists everywhere, without exception profess a love for what they do. Most describe an inner
drive to create, to perform, to excel. For some, concerns for
compensation in an industry providing non-necessities to its
publics are secondary. Satisfying the creative
urge is paramount.
They have successes, often hand-in-hand
with headaches. Naive marketing and lack of
by Sandy
financial support and permanent locations
problems are cited by many. But the dreams
are there, too. Without them the arts could not survive.
Here's what we found.
Affinity for the Arts
Most of the participants in the arts groups seem to love what
they do. They want to improve the quality of life, and they
have a desire to achieve excellence in their work. "I could
paint all the time," says Ellie Weakley, a painter in water and
oil. "What I love is in front of me. When I paint, I'm peaceful,
and contented ."
"The content of my life is the arts. I surround myself with
artists. I'm compelled to art," says Rosalyn Spencer, founder
and executive director of the PowerPiant Visual Arts Center.
Her voice is representative of artists and the arts groups in
their devotion to art. Spencer continues to work for the
PowerPiant, despite the fact she does not get paid for her
time and effort.
"As a potter, I love to create ," says Judy Petersen, president of Trimble Court Artisans, a cooperative effort (co-op)
among local artists. "I work for myself and receive instant
gratification when people buy my work. "
"I'm drawn to the performing arts as an actor," says
Bruce Freestone. He loves what he does because "acting is
what culture is about. An actor's joy is the possibility of
opening doors to someone watching a play and then having
him understand and relate, to absorb a truth that improves
his life. "
As director of the Canyon Concert Ballet Company, Jeff
Woodman loves teaching and influencing students positively at the ballet school. Woodman , who owns the school
with his wife, Lindsay, also enjoys performing, especially
dancing, because: "It's physical , where we use the body ;
mental , where we use the mind; and spiritual , where we use
the soul. In performing, those three things need to be together. It's a nice way to express yourself without having to
say anything ."
Many artists describe a personal inner
urge or "compulsion" to create. Their art and
Cowan
work habits reflect this drive.
Sarah Woods , a wildlife painter, says
she paints from eight to 12 hours daily, al-

most every day. Sometimes she goes three
months without a break. In the past three
years, her self discipline has resulted in a
virtually nonstop paint-a-than . "I paint what
I want and it's hard work. The more I paint,
the more secure I get in painting."
Another reason both performing artists
and volunteers spend their time and effort
on the arts and on the boards of arts groups
is to improve their perception of the quality
of life and culture in Fort Collins.
A desire for quality is illustrated in the
principles and purposes of Open Stage Theatre: "Excellence, discipline and artistic integrity ... to produce high quality performing arts events . . . and to further public
understanding and appreciation of the per-
forming arts, thereby contributing to the cultural enrichment of the region."
"We cannot live without culture. We
operate on artistic excellence," says
Spencer.
The Wood mans give the best of themselves to the arts and agree that "the (ballet)
company is our product to the public on the

stage, and we feel it's of highest quality."
Many artists believe a high quality of life already exists in the Rocky Mountain region
and the arts enhance that quality.
"Our purpose is to stimulate the artists
to do their best and to get the community

of the Poudre Valley Art League, which "ex-

ists because people are interested in art
where they get together, exchange ideas
and learn new things. "
Why do people get involved on the
boards of the various arts groups? Many
board members believe in the arts and
share in a particular group's desire for excellence . They want success for each performance or production. Being a board
member "expands people's awareness,"
says Spencer. Ted Smith, president of Foothills Civic Theatre, says "they (board members) go above and beyond the call of duty."
The individuals who make the time
commitment to serve on the various arts
boards are generally from the business and
local community. Most are serious about

city. Board numbers of members in the various organizations range from seven to 14.
The reason for participating vary from a
desire to be involved, a way to improve the
arts, and a way to "pay back the community."
Paul Batchelor, a board member of and
general manager of the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra, says that involvement on
the symphony board is a community service
by people who "love music, not like it, but love
it. The symphony board has dedicated people
who plan, organize, and love music."
Georgia Locker, president of the Larimer
Chorale, says "board leadership is necessary" to provide group guidance. The Chorale itself draws committed members from
Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, and Cheyenne to put on three concerts a year.
Caughey finds her involvement on the
PVAL board "a necessary commitment; the
reward for serving is seeing the organization
move with direction."
Problems and
Successes
The biggest problems are marketing the
performance, production , or artwork, and
finding sufficient space . Many artists and
arts group leaders boast of their successes;
few are willing to dwell on their failures .
"I had no idea how to make a living in art
when I graduated from college ... how to
market my art. I had no knowledge of the expectations of the galleries where they take a
percentage right off the top," says Woods.
Evalyn Prouty Hickman, a papermaker
designer, agrees that marketing is indeed a
problem , especially outside Colorado.
Barney Jensen, a wildlife painter and
sculptor, says "marketing and advertising
are very expensive to carry out. Most artists
would like to leave this part to someone
else." He combines his gallery, frame shop,
and residence in Jensen Gallery at Cherryhurst, the old cherry factory on Highway 1
and Gregory Road . He markets his own artwork.
Most groups and artists usually market
themselves. Since the arts are considered to
be a luxury by some, the value has to be sold
to the public: potential buyers have to believe
that they need this product.
Thus far, many groups have bounced
from place to place. Generous business
people , however, sometimes donate space .
Foothills Civic Theatre has rehearsed in warehouses and empty business spaces. "If we
could eliminate the space problem, we would
almost have a utopian situation. We need
Two Good Reasons
To Do Business With
The Everitt Companies.
Pervading problems for both arts groups and
individual artists exist; challenges and headaches are typical. For the groups, finding a
permanent space to call home is a problem .
Since most local groups are nonprofit, they
cannot afford to pay rent. Among those
seeking a location of their own are the PowerPiant, Poudre Valley Art League, Foothills
Civic Theatre, and the Larimer Chorale.
Another problem is lack of financial
resources. Locker says "It's difficult to raise
money for a volunteer group."

from 3000 to 5000 square feet," says Smith.
Caughey says, "It's difficult to find space
for our shows, work, storage, and displays."
The PVAL was fortunate to meet in the
Opera House for awhile, but due to renovation the Opera House is now unavailable.
Some business people, such as Walter
Brown, president of Mountain Avenue Properties, are aware of this problem and have
donated space to several arts groups. "I
would like to keep the arts downtown, both
the performing and the visual arts groups,"
says Brown, who is the developer of the
Opera Galleria. The PowerPiant does not
currently have a place to call its own nor the
economic resources to secure a site. The
visual arts center was originally located in the
old PowerPiant on North College, and has
since moved out.
This is an important point with Spencer:
the PowerPiant "did not fail, it closed," she
says; $3 million would be needed to meet
code requirements to renovate the abandoned project. It's frustrating; and, she is
unable to continue the creative arts school

too cold the working conditions were too uncomfortable for volunteers and exhibitions.

groups are currently enjoying various levels
of success, measured by increased ticket
sales, greater performances, more community participation in fundraisers, and good

center in the old post office space downtown
is a current possibility.
Most of the groups are in a financial
battle of survival just to break even. Batchelor states: "We have a public responsibility to
stay out of debt." But, according to Freestone, "a lack of dollars exists to pay a
livelihood wage to the artists."
Other problems exist. Petersen says
she wants the involvement of more members
in the Trimble Court Artisans Co-op. Canyon
Concert Ballet would like more students,
ists, success means greater name recognition, gallery acceptance, and the ability to
command higher prices for their work.
Foothills Civic Theatre and the Fort
Collins Symphony are in their 15th year of
operation. Foothills increased their season
ticket holders last year from 45 to 175 this
year. They gave a scholarship to a high
school theatre student. Their free performances to the public last summer in Old Town,
along with their three shows a year all produced good audience response.
Trimble Court Artisans, a 17 year old
operation and the only co-op outlet for artisans in Fort Collins, has had an increase in
sales since the Old Town Mall opened.
The Larimer Chorale performs three
concerts annually. Last year approximately
one third of their members went to Seefeld,
Austria, where they sang in German, English, and other languages for a festival and
church services.

people who attend the summer picnic and
rooftop concerts," says Batchelor. He believes the FCSO, now in its 40th season, "is
unique in having this number of concerts in
a city this size." The FCSO performs 15
major events a year.
Did the PowerPiant have successes?
Yes, even though it is closed temporarily, it
still received recognition as a contemporary
art center. Spencer says that artists are
"pushing new frontiers. They move off the
canvas, come forward, break the rules, and
mix mediums. They are thought-provoking."
"We attribute our successes to balanced programming," says Freestone. "We
have a solid reputation for our 90 plays in 16
years." The company has also successfully
produced operas since 1980, and has had
four years of playwright's festivals.
"Our biggest success of the year is the
PVAL regional show," says Caughey. "We
draw about 500 artists from five states."
Artists submit their work before reputable
judges, who award cash prizes. Sales have
increased since the PVAL has initiated a

here and work." Another goal is to have a
physical space that the company can control, with ancillary spaces that provide the
potential to rent space to other groups. The
space could conceivably compete with the
Lincoln Center. Freestone would like to see
the community be involved and supportive
in contributing space for storage, construction, rehearsals, and gallery space for the
arts.
Each arts group feels strongly about its
individual goals. Petersen wants to continue with improvement in the Trimble Court
Artisans store, and to attract more artisans
with different types of high quality and unique
work. Caughey's goal is to have an art
center for classes, where various organizations work together with many activities.

clients before the actual show.
One other PVAL success : the

French impressionists, who were locked
out of the Paris Academy and formed their
own show. If the artists didn't make the
competition in PVAL's regional show, they
are given another opportunity to enter artwork in the Refuse' Show.
"Success with the Canyon Concert Ballet school is seen with the quality performance of the dancers," says Woodman. "Our
enrollment has increased." The 1988 performance of the Nutcracker Ballet, an annual event, was the best in several years ,
with all new sets, almost all new choreography, and many new costumes.
Some local individual artists have also
achieved success. Weakley's oil and water-
The arts are faring well, in Fort Collins,
as the arts go: it's a struggle for survival.
To celebrate the 1Oth anniversary of
the Canyon Concert Ballet, the Woodmans
are planning a special performance in the
early summer of 1989: "Paquita," a classical
Spanish ballet excerpt from an opera. They
hope to line up a professional to set George
Balanchine's "Stars and Stripes" ballet for
the concert. To enhance the anniversary
celebration, the Woodmans want to set up
one of the pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's
"Swan Lake." The premier performance
piece will be presented by Concert Jazz Ensemble , their new offshoot dance company,
in the celebration concert June 24.
Finding a permanent location is of primary importance for Foothills Civic Theatre .

countries, states, and galleries in the Southwest.
Jensen 's paintings sell for $300 to
$1500 and hang in the collections of wildlife

old post office building. She envisions the

number of scholarships given. He'd also like
to give the community more theatre workshops in acting, set constructiOn, theatrical
make-up, and behind-the-scenes instruction . Smith believes that with FCC's own
performance hall and set construction all
under one roof, such as a small intimate
theatre , costs could be lowered and local
people would have the opportunity to produce their own plays.
Batchelor emphasizes planning as the
key to stay financially stable in the future.
He feels that the FCSO has been fortunate
to have "local captains of industry" serve on
the FCSO board, who do long-range planning for the organization.
Professional and volunteer artists are
not alone in dreaming of a more predominant, cohesive arts environment in the downtown area. Walt Brown's goal is to develop
the Opera Galleria, a downtown two-story
pedestrian mall which will include stores,
restaurants, and office suites. Like many
other local people in the business sector, he
wants the arts to be a part of the business
community and to help the arts groups find
rehearsal, office, and performing space, all
ideally donated and shared by the groups
on a short-term basis.
The arts are faring well , in Fort Collins,
as the arts go: it's a struggle for survival. But
the cultural enhancement provided by these

ANATOMY OF THE ARTS: HOW THEY FINANCIAU.Y SURVIVE
"We have the public responsibility to stay out of
debt," says Paul Batchelor, general manager of the
Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra.
The goal of most arts groups: to have each production pay for itself. Most groups are nonprofits
and are self-supporting, with the help of economic
resources from the community.
The financial support includes:
• FCCAH -The Fort Collins Council on the Arts
and Humanities is a non-profit organization
that promotes the Arts and Humanities through
the funding of grants. In 1988, the FCCAH
awarded a little over $20,000; as we go to
press, they have given $4,150 to community
cultural activities in 1989. They hope to make
additional grants later in the year and will encourage groups to apply for membership in
the Council.
• Businesses and corporations. Local corporations, such as Hewlett-Packard, Target, U.S.
West, Woodward Governor, Poudre Valley
Hospital, Mountain Bell, and Mountain Avenue Properties have helped with financial donations or rent-free space.
• Colorado Council on the Arts and Humanities.
The Colorado Council receives funding for its
programs from the Colorado Legislature and
from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Council members are appointed by the governor.
• Private donations from citizens within the
community.
• Ticket sales from performances, productions,
and exhibitions.
• Fundraisers that include bake sales, coupon
books, etc.
• Honorariums from organizations for performances.
Generally, the Fort Collins community is financially supportive of the arts groups. The Power Plant
receives about ten percent of its total operating
budget in grants. The rest is supported by the
business and communizy sector and they have a
small core of memberships. Rosalyn Spencer feels
that the new tax law discourages donations and that
"people give because they believe in the arts, and the
arts add to their lives."
Since the Trimble Court Artisans is a co-op, the
financial structure is a cooperative effort by the ar-
Spring 1989
tisans themselves. The yearly membership fee is
$20. The artists are charged 38 percent commission, so they receive 62 percent of their products'
selling price. If they work in the store, an optional
choice, they receive more. The co-op is nonprofit
and is not tax exempt. Profits are returned to the
members at the end of the year, and some profits are
spent on the remodeling and the improvement of the
store.
Financial grants have been received from the
FCCAH for the Poudre Valley Art League's regional
art shows. In 1988 the reception was sponsored by
Columbia Savings, private donations were received,
and merchandise was given for prizes. The regional
show budget is $14,000, and the group receives
about $1 ,200. The PVAL is classified as nonprofit
and tax-exempt; the Gallery is a self- sustaining organization with no profit.
The Canyon Concert Ballet is supported by the
community. The company receives 15 to 20 percent
of company performance profits. The company and
the school , which operates under the umbrella ofthe
company, are nonprofit organizations. The self-sustaining school now has almost 200 students, profits
go to Jeff and Lindsay Woodman. The company receives funds from FCCAH , local businesses, three
fundraising events, and program advertising.
Open Stage Theatre earns 50 percent of its revenue from ticket sales. About 13 - 15 percent of
revenue comes from other patronage, such as season tickets, corporations, businesses, grants, equipment rental fees, and other services. Bruce Freestone says "the percentages belie the dollar amount. "
A company goal: to double and triple the budgets.
OpenStage does not pay its artists, but Freestone
would like it to be able to. It receives financial
support from FCCAH , Colorado Council, foundations, corporations, businesses, and program ads.
The primary source for fundraising: their 4,200name direct-mail list, which OpenStage accumulates from the guest registers at performances. Requests for contributions, along with the season
ticket mailers, help with cash flow. OpenStage has
"tried everything " with fundraisers and has seen
some success. Most grants from the state range
from $2,000 to $8,000. Freestone says OpenStage
has survived because of their business thinkingthey develop their own financial sources.
The financial support that the Larimer Chorale
receives from the FCCAH and businesses makes up
about one-tenth of the budget. The rest comes from
STYLE
dues, fundraising efforts, and volunteer donations
from the Chorale members. The Chorale is tax-exempt and nonprofit; it offers free seating to foreign
students, nursing home residents, and some who
cannot afford tickets. The budget, president Georgia
Locker says, "is adhered to in order to stay in the
black. This is not considered a business, but an opportunity to get together with others who have similar interests and performance capabilities." To raise
funds, members solicit for donations, sell Gold C
and grocery coupons and more, and the funds are
used for the programs.
Foothills Civic Theatre receives some financial
support from grants and donations; the largest
grants are funded either through FCCAH or the Colorado Council. Money from a successful production
is used to offset one not as well received. Perhaps
five to seven percent of total production costs is
donated.
Some ofthe grants which go for a particular production amount to about 10 percent of production
costs. With a large cast, the FCC may have a budget
of $6,000 or $7,000 for one show. They are fortunate to have an attorney on their board who has specialized in theatre law to ascertain how they can
make donations of warehouse space more lucrative
to the donors. The company raises funds through
mail-in donations, grants, and from ticket sales. To
celebrate its 15th anniversary, the FCC sold season
tickets for $15. "There's not a better entertainment
value for the dollar," says president Ted Smith.
Ticket sales and program book revenues provide 60 percent of the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra's $280,000 budget. Batchelor says that the
FCSO's financial outlook is stable because of guidance from its board of directors. In 1988, the
Women's Guild's fundraising efforts brought in
$30,000, bringing the Guild's total to $250,000
raised over 25 years. The IRS and the state classify
the FCSO as nonprofit and tax-exempt, a 501 (C) 3,
but the city commands their status to pay sales tax.
The FCSO's fund campaign is conducted in February and March. They solicit people who have previously supported the symphony. "We never call
people who have not attended one of the orchestra's
performances," says Batchelor.
The arts groups depend on the financial support
from the community for survival. As Freestone says,
"the R.O.I. -the return on investment- is the (improved) quality of living."

Wedding a [a Mode
by Andrea Ronning
P{anning tfie peifect wedding.
It's time-consuming , requires monumental organization , and probably
something you've never done before .
What's the best advice?
Plan your wedding the way
you want it, the way you
always dreamed it should
be. Although the traditional large wedding is
reemerging , wedding
couples should design
their wedding to be areflection of their styles
and personalities. No
two weddings should be
alike.
Include the groom in
the wedding decisionmaking process. Wedding retailers agree, it's
refreshing to see the
grooms voice their rightful
opinions.
Style hopes this look on
wedding tips, latest trends, and
creative wedding plans will benefit
and ease your wedding preparations.

An abundance of flowers at a wedding celebraAk~::
tion has been said to symbolize the fruitfulness wished upon a bride
and groom . And today's brides are using more flowers than ever.
Flowers are vital; no detail can be overlooked. The bride and bridesmaids need bouquets and flowers for the hair, the groom and his
groomsmen need boutonnieres, the flower girl needs a basket of
flowers , a nosegay, or even a decorated grapevine wreath; the
mothers of the bride and groom need corsages , and finally the
church and reception area need enhancing with several flower arrangements.
Experts recommend that flower arrangements be made in the
early stages of planning a wedding. Steve Haddan, owner of Haddan's Flower Gallery, recommends that brides make plans five
months in advance if the wedding is to take place in June or August,
the busiest wedding months. If the wedding is to take place in any
other month, then generally four months in advance is sufficient.
Choosing flowers can be time-consuming and a thought-provoking, but with the help of a knowledgeable florist, the task can be
made much easier. Ed Keil, owner of Bristol Floral, suggests that
brides "look for quality rather than quantity." He also advises brides
to "check the florist out, make sure they are reputable ; find out how
long they've been in business. "
"Weddings have become more personalized ," says Kris Colwell ,
co-owner of the Flower Company. "The set rules don't seem to be
Spring 1989
as stiff, so everyone picks what they feel
comfortable with instead of following peer
pressure or trends. "
Mel Farver, owner of Farvers
Flowers, says the most unusual
wedding arrangement his shop
has ever created was a bridal
bouquet made of red roses ,
fresh strawberries, and filler
flowers.
Wedding themes are
emerging as a way of
presenting tradition
with a twist. Haddan's
Flower Gallery recently
designed an Oriental
wedding as well as a
tropical wedding , complete with palm trees
in the sanctuary.
Brides and grooms
are steering away from
the typical church wedding as well. More ceremonies are taking place at
resorts , on beaches or
boats, under gazebos or in
the meadows or mountains.
One couple got married on a
float during the Rose Bowl parade .
The float, made of orchids , carnations , straw flowers and lunaria, carried
the wedding party, musicians, and the soloist down the road to happiness.
Trends in floral design are leaning toward the simpler but contemporary custom or individualized look. Long, cascading bouquets
have been increasingly popular at the Flower Company and Farvers
Flowers, while Haddan's has had more requests for horizontal bouquet designs. All florists agree that the round or colonial bouquet is
out.
Thanks to hothouses and air shipping, brides can choose any
flower they want for their wedding arrangements. But selecting flowers that are in season can save money and look more natural. Flowers that are popular for 1989 are the traditional rose , the lavendeau
rose, irises, tulips, daffodils, gardenias, freezia, and variations of the
lily and the orchid . Calla lilies are still frequently used, but not to the
same degree as in the past two years.
Peach and teal have been the most requested flower color
choices for spring . Ice blue, royal blue, pink, gray, and aqua have
also been hot color choices. Mauve is on its way out, while lavender
and yellow are emerging as possible trendsetters.
Also out for floral arrangements are baby's breath and using a lot
of dyed or artificially-colored flowers, but using beads and sequins
in the floral pieces as well as mylar and iridescent ribbon are in .
Using flowers around the base of the cake and on the top of the
cake , replacing the traditional bride and groom, has become customary. This coordinates everything from the bridal bouquet to the

reception centerpiece at the wedding.
Rice throwing has become taboo at most
churches, butthe tradition has not. Georgine
Bush, bridal consultant for Flower Company, suggests letting off a large bouquet of
balloons as the bride and groom leave the
wedding site. "Balloons have also become
very big for receptions," says Keil.
Now, more than ever, brides are spending money on reception flowers, and new
trends have surfaced. The latest trend is
what Steve Haddan calls "flowers-to-go."
Creating a centerpiece at each reception
table by clustering four or five bud vases or
setting out baskets of loose flowers or small
plants allows each guest to take a flower or
plant home as a memento of your wedding.
Prices for floral arrangements vary on
the person and type of wedding they want.
Brides should anticipate spending at least
$350 to $3500 for their wedding flowers.
There is a way to avoid paying for costly
arrangements. Farvers Flowers will rent silk
altar bouquets or decorated candelabras
for a fraction of the cost of purchasing real
flower arrangements.
The custom of wearing a wedding ring is still
considered a sign of commitment, eternity,
and consistent love. The rings a bride and
groom select should be a reflection of their
personalities and individual tastes.
Today's bride and groom are wearing
more stylized and detailed wedding rings.
The solitaire, although a classic choice, has
seen less wear.
It's trendy to have the rings designed and
custom-made specifically for the bride and
groom. This not only makes the ring more
special, but it emphasizes the individualistic
attitude prevalent among this season's
wedding couples.
Couples no longer feel obligated to have
matching wedding bands.Men are selecting yellow 14-karat gold wedding bands
inlaid with diamonds rather than the traditional gold wedding band.
Women are also creating their rings with
yellow gold, but often are employing semiprecious stones such as sapphires, rubies,
and emeralds in with the diamonds.
Wedding couples are using fancier-cut
diamonds in their rings, according to Earl
Rider, owner of Garwood's Jewelers. Popular this year are the marquis and the quadrillion, or "princess," cuts. The quadrillion is
square-shaped diamond that has the brilliance of a round diamond because it has
the same number of facets cut into it.
When shopping for fine jewelry, inquire
about the jeweler's reputation. Is the jeweler just a merchant or is he a licensed
gemologist? Rider strongly recommends to
ask the jeweler if he is a member of the
American Gem Society, which requires
annual testing of each gemologist for certification. Take into consideration how comfortable you feel with that jeweler and how
knowledgeable the jeweler appears to be.

Today's custom for a bride to wear an
extravagant white gown originally began
when the America's newly rich were trying
to impress others with their new wealth .
Before this time, wedding dresses were of
no specific color, but were designed to be
worn as a special dress for future parties
and social functions.
Typically, bridal gowns are still only worn
but once, but the tradition of wearing white
has waned . According to Shirley Baskett,
owner of Nancy Ann Bridal , wedding gowns
aren 't just white or ivory any more, blush
pink became popular two years ago while
pale blue is fast becoming a common color
for bridal gowns.
Ruffled gowns have been the most requested style at Nancy Ann Bridal. "Ruffles
are every young girl 's dream of a fairy
princess," says Baskett. Ruffled gowns are
"by far more popular than the traditional lace
dresses," adds Baskett.
Brides are selecting ornate dresses
detailed with iridescent beads, sequins or
roped pearls . Often brides are choosing
dresses with detachable trains that make
movement at the reception less restrictive.
Simplicity and re-wearability seem to be
the guidelines today's bride has set in selecting dresses for the bridesmaids and the
mothers of the bridal couple. Styles popular
for bridesmaids dresses are drop-waist
dresses, sheath dresses, and tea-length
dresses with puff sleeves. Taffeta and satin
in iridescent peaches and pinks as well as
soft floral-printed cotton are the choice of
this season 's bride. Also trendy are black
dresses for brides hosting black and white
weddings .
Mothers are selecting elegant but plain
dresses and cocktail suits in ivory and soft
pastels.
Men s :Forma{ Wear
The trend for formal wear is conservative,
but fashion-oriented. Mark Burke, president
of Mister Neat's Tu x Shops, says that Ronald
Reagan has been the primary influence in
this trend. "We've seen a definite trend
since Reagan took office in 1980. In 1976,
when Carter was in office, formality was
played down. But when Ron and Nancy
took office, they brought a little more style
and elegance back into the White House. "
The same style and elegance has appeared
in the formal wear for this season's groom
as well.
In the 15 years Burke has been in business, 1988 was the first year that the classic
black tu xedo was the number one color
choice. Burke projects black tu xedos will
make up 65 percent of his total business for
1989. For that reason , Mister Neat's Tux

grooms may also choose a basic singlebreasted tuxedo , a double-breasted tuxedo , an European-cut tuxedo or a cutaway
style. "You can have the basic color, but you
better have the fashion ," Burke advises.
"You better have the pleated trousers ; better have non-vented coats and the styling to
go with them ."
Color accents are brought in with the use
of bow ties andcummerbunds . The most
requested colors are peach and teal. Royal
blue , gray, soft pastels, and black and white
have also been prominent colors for accessories. Burke also suggests adding a silk
pocket square to the outfit to bring out more
color. Ranging from $4 to $10, the silk
pocket square makes " a nice little add-on
and makes a nice groomsmen gift. Instead
of getting the groomsmen the same old key
chain, why don't you get them something
they can use?"
Most of Burke's rental tuxedos are made
of 100 percent lightweight worsted wool and
come with satin-covered buttons, designer
lining, and non-vented pleated trousers.
The price of renting one of the tropicalweight wool tuxedo ranges from $40 to $60,
including shirt, tie, and cummerbund . For $6
to $10 the groom can rent either patent
leather or high-gloss black shoes.

Choosing a gift for the bride and groom can
be difficult. Often times, the bride and groom
have lived together or were previously
married and have acquired all of the essentials typically given to wedding couples.
Couples are also waiting longer before
getting married and have lived on their own
for a few years and don't have use for that
second or third toaster oven. Registry eases
the gift- giving dilemma.
We've all heard of registering for china
and flatware, but what about honeymoons?
Kris Das, co-owner of Edgerton World Travel,
says that honeymoon registry has been
around for a couple of years but hasn 't
taken off because many people aren't aware
of it.
Guests can now put undisclosed amounts
of money towards the couples honeymoon
vacation. At a time when more emphasis
and money are being placed on weddings,
young couples are finding it more difficult to
afford the romantic honeymoon of their
dreams.
According to Das, the hottest honeymoon spots are the Caribbean , Jamaica,
and Hawaii and average around $2500 for
a one-week vacation .
Also unique and becoming increasingly
popular is lingerie registry. A registry allows
a woman to select the lingerie she desires
for her trousseau. Allison Shride, owner of
Allison 's Lingerie, says women are selecting peignoirs, teddies, camisoles and tap
pants , and short chemises with wraps for
their trousseaus. A practical gift item for the
new bride and groom can be a set of imported cotton linens for the bed , suggests
Shride. A gift of lingerie is a personal and
thoughtful item appropriate fortoday's bride.
Gift-givers mustn 't overlook bridal registry. Brides-and-grooms-to-be still rely on
this as home entertaining grows. Traditionally, flatware, fine china, and crystal are
registered, but today, registrars are seeing
more unusual items as registry choices.
Kathy Harper, bridal consultant for The Little
Country Store, says Southwestern-motif
dinnerware and accessories are popular as
well as appliances. Harper encourages giftgivers to select gifts that have been registered and says that once someone has
been involved in a wedding, "they realize
how important it is to receive all of the place
settings."
If you're still looking for a unique gift for
that couple who has everything, Dawn
Niescent, manager of AcScents, recommends a unique candle and candleholder
set. Candles styled like ribbons , feathers ,
spirals and roses make exclusive decorator
items. A decorated basket or brass shaker
filled with wax chips scented with a designer
fragrance is another unique gift idea.

several Colorado publications.

the customer. We're priced under the competition ; we try to give more product in equal or better
quality." Concentrates on service to make sure
customer is satisfied. Concerned with customer
opinion; personally reads every returned customer opinion card. "We work at exceeding customer expectations. " No philosophical differences
among his three restaurants.
DAY-TO-DAY ROLE: Supports management staff;
teacher, consultant. Since he owns two other restaurants, "my biggest challenge is staying out of
my managers' way. They're all capable, good
people. I really appreciated the opportunity my
former boss gave me to do it on my own, to make
mistakes and learn."
FUTURE PLANS: Will open more restaurants, but
"not this year and probably not in Fort Collins. "
Current main focus is adjusting to operating three
restaurants and "paying down loans. "

A Breakthrough in PMS Diagnosis
by Dr. Beverley Donnelley
L
ast year, Fort Collins Women's Clinic patients participated in a research project that validated what
may be the most progressive innovation in PMS
treatment- the Portman PMS Serum Test. A blood test,
the Portman Test is a simple procedure that objectively
identifies premenstrual syndrome patients and points
to appropriate treatment for these women.
The test is a relief for both patients and doctors.
Many of the myths surrounding menstrual cycles have
been replaced by scientific facts about the changes a
woman's body experiences during each phase of her
cycle. But, until now, physicians have only been able to
support the reality of premenstrual syndrome by charting symptoms.
Charting takes several months.
Plus, it's a subjective diagnostic
There are more than 150 symptoms that have
been associated with PMS, some of the most
method. And , as doctors, PMS specommon are:

treatment, the Portman PMS Serum
Test becomes an even greater discovery.
The Fort Collins Women's Clinic was identified by
Genesis Systems Corporation as one of "six clinics
across the country that have a reputation for comprehensive care of PMS patients." The women who participated in the study helped prove the validity of the
serum test. As with previous research at the Portman
Clinic, this nationwide study concluded that there is
now a quick, objective diagnostic tool for factually
confirming patients with and without premenstrual
syndrome .
Women with PMS often speak of feeling out of
control oftheir lives and feeling like two different people
at different times of the month. Often PMS sufferers
feel irritable, depressed and hateful to those they love,
while during other parts of the month they feel confident, capable and loving. PMS has many forms of
symptoms. No woman has all the symptoms, but she
usually has several.
Women with PMS are not alone. It is estimated that
40 percent of all women experience PMS symptoms
regularly and at least 10 percent have symptoms that
seriously impair their personal and professional lives.
For years the symptoms of PMS were thought to be
psychologically- based problems peculiar to women .
Only recently has PMS been recognized as a physical
disorder; the recognition brings relief to millions of
women who thought their problems were "all in their
heads."
STYLE
Premenstrual syndrome is a hormonal disorder
characterized by a variety of physical and emotional
symptoms. Generally, symptoms occur 2 to 14 days
before a woman's menstrual period and decrease or
disappear during and after the menstrual period.
While PMS symptoms are common, each woman
suffering PMS has a unique pattern of symptoms.
Some women find that the symptoms occur several
days before menstruation. Others find the symptoms start at ovulation, followed by symptom-free
days, then reoccur right before menstruation. Still
others experience the symptoms at ovulation which
increase in severity until the start of menstruation.
The exact causes of PMS are yet to be determined . Many theories have been offered , but since
none appear applicable of all PMS sufferers, there
is, as yet, no universally agreed-upon cause . Some
suggested causes include: vitamin deficiency, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), progesterone deficiency,
retention of fluids, excess prolactin (a pituitary
hormone) and stress.
The varying theories of PMS causes lead to a
variety of treatments . But there is no single treatment for all women with PMS. A unique treatment
plan must be worked out for each individual according to her particular symptoms and lifestyle.
Depending on the symptoms and their severity ,
several treatment programs are possible. They include: diet control, vitamin and mineral supplements,
exercise and stress reduction and progesterone.
Progesterone is one the two primary female
hormones. A woman 's body produces progesterone
each month during the second half of her menstrual
cycle . The progesterone level reaches a peak on the
21st day of the woman's cycle , then begins to drop
with menstruation following about one week later.
The Portman PMS Serum Test has another element of significance. It validates the reality of PMS
as a health problem . PMS isn't imaginary, a play for
sympathy or a cover for other inadequacies. PMS is
a real health problem as evidenced by the biological
marker that the Portman PMS Serum Test identifies.
What a relief this test is for doctors who can now
confirm proof of PMS and diagnose women who are
sufferers. And what a relief for women to know there
are treatments to solve this health problem.
Note:The Fort Collins Women 's Clinic has invited
Dr. Edward Portman , creator of the Portman PMS
Serum Test, to speak in Fort Collins.
Dr. Beverley Donne/ley received her medical
degree from the University of Kansas, where she
also completed her residency training for Obstetrics
and Gynecology. She has done additional training in
menstrual disorders, with special emphasis on premenstrual syndrome. Dr. Donne/ley is certified by
the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
and is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics
and Gynecology. Dr. Donne/ley, formerly Jessup, is
an associate of the Fort Collins Women 's Clinic.

FORUM
Fort Collins as an Arts Destination?
by Sandy Cowan
"I
would like to see Fort Collins as an arts destination," says
Lorrie Wolfe, Executive Director of Fort Collins Council on Arts
and Humanities.
What does it mean to have Fort Collins be an arts destination?
Fort Collins could be a city where people would flock to see wellknown performing, visual, or fine artists during a festival event. The
event would include an artist or arts group that excels in a specific
"discipline to attract people to come to Fort Collins, around which
they can plan their vacation ," says Bruce Freestone, director of
Open Stage Theatre. Along with Wolfe, he'd like the city to be an arts
destination. The city, he says, would have "to focus on a particular
group at one time in their area of expertise."
How would an arts destination happen? One possibility would
be to involve community resources such as the Fort Collins
Council on Art and Humanities,
the Lincoln Center, the Chamber of Commerce, the Convention and Visitors' Bureau, the
arts groups, and volunteers .
With the involvement of these
organizations and others to
evaluate, plan, and organize
for the future, Fort Collins could
be an arts destination.
The local $9 million arts
industry, representing the small
arts groups in Fort Collins , is healthy. According to a 1986 financial
impact statement developed by FCCAH, the survey showed that
from the $9 million, generated by the direct activities of the members, $3.32 million is spent in salaries and services by local arts
groups. The rollover factor is 2-1 /2. More than 90 percent of $3.32
million stayed in Fort Collins in 1985.
The FCCAH provides funding assistance necessary for its 28
members to operate. The council 's budget is $62,000. The council
receives less than five percent its from the Colorado Arts and
Humanities Council. The rest of its money comes from the Fort
Collins community, including corporate support.
FCCAH memberships start at $20. Last year a little over
$20,000 was given to the arts groups. Thus far in 1989, $4,150 was
awarded to 10 different cultural activities in the community. Any
additional grants later this year depend on FCCAH getting financial
support from the community. Wolfe says "I hope for more membership , which means more dollars, more authority, and more people
to represent the arts."
The arts offered 480 performances and art events in 1988.
There are 220 separate events from among 28 arts groups.
"I'd like to create an image in Fort Collins as an arts destination
where people recognize the city as a place to see, enjoy, and
purchase arts, " says Wolfe. "We can start by publicizing the events
that have stature here already. An example is the International
Poster Exhibition in Fort Collins, which is one of only two cities
worldwide that has established a biennial international poster exhibition. " The other city is Warsaw, Poland.
Both Wolfe and Freestone suggest using city and national
resources. "If our own resources are recognized and esteemed,
then we attract people of like esteem, " says Wolfe. "We already have
high quality talent in Fort Collins, " says Freestone.
The arts offered
480 performances and art
events in 1988.
In addition to using the arts groups as resources for the arts
destination, the Lincoln Center could be involved. The center is a
"house of many mansions", where the rooms are used for arts
groups and many conferences. The center could be used to house
well-known incoming artists and arts groups.
According to Dave Siever, Director for Cultural Services and
Facilities for the City of Fort Collins, the Lincoln Center is already in
great demand. The mini-theatre is booked every weekend from
September to May, except for a few weeks in December. The
conference scheduling is increasing . The Show Stopper Series has
gone from one to two nights.
"The present 1180 seats at the Lincoln Center is not enough for
the kinds of attractions that we have been doing, " says Siever He
would like to see an additional performance center with a 2500-seat
indoor theatre, which would utilize the same stage for a 3500-seat
amphitheater, a 500-seat mini theatre, with the existing 1180-seat
performance theatre, and the existing 220-seat mini theatre by the
year 2000. From a Lincoln Center budget of just over $1 .2 million,
over half comes from program revenues ($662,855) and the remaining is a subsidy from the city's General Fund ($552,240) . Obviously,
more money would have to be generated for an addition to the
center.
Creating the old post office into an arts center may generate
people and tourism for the community - a dream that Rosalyn
Spencer, Executive Director of the PowerPiant Visual Arts Center,
would like to see materialize for the Fort Collins downtown area.
There would be an arts center with art galleries, gift shops, and exhibits, along with an art school, boutiques, restaurants and a walk
gallery. Spencer believes the art center would increase foot traffic,
impulse buying, and profits for the downtown area. The Oak Street
Plaza gives a built-in place for outdoor activities which would help
businesses. Spencer says the arts center would "create a hub of
activity. "
The involvement of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce and
the Convention and Visitors Bureau would help evaluate, plan, and
organize with the other arts groups in the city. The chamber is
sponsoring the "Fort Collins Festival " for the 125th anniversary of
the founding of the Fort; perhaps an arts destination could be
similar. The Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau could help
with tourism planning . Volunteers would be needed from the community; 6000 volunteer hours were used in various jobs such as
docents, receptionists, and others in 1988 to help the Lincoln
Center. Perhaps this volunteer time is an example of the community
care for the arts in the Choice City.
Fort Collins could be an arts destination with the involvement
and contributions of the organizations: FCCAH would increase financial support; Lincoln Center- build an addition ; the Chamber of
Commerce- help plan ; the arts groupshelp plan; volunteers - contribute their
time; the community- contribute financial
support; the old post office - create a
future arts center. These organizations
would help evaluate, plan, and organize
Fort Collins as an arts destination.

Bright striped tents in Vanier Park, home of the internationally acclaimed Vancouver Children 's Festival.
C
ommunity celebrations and festivals are flourishing all over. Somewhere in North
America there is an event honoring, commemorating, or celebrating something from history to cuisine with everything in between. Some of the most outstanding events are the
arts festivals. This spring and summer is a perfect time to sample some very unique vacation
experiences. Let's take a look at three individual arts festivals set in interesting North American
locations.
Just a short travel day away is Santa Fe, New Mexico, internationally renowned as a center
for artists and the arts. Santa Fe won first place in the 1987 Annual City Liveability Awards sponsored by the U.S. Conference on Mayors and Philip Morris Companies, Inc., a program honoring mayors whose leadership promoted the development and support of the arts in their communities.
This recent national recognition for Santa Fe confirms what has attracted visitors for many
years. Santa Fe's charm extends well beyond its famous adobe walls ; it is the regional center
for many rich multi-cultural events. Each year, Santa Fe hosts both the Fiestas de Santa Fe,
the nation's oldest community-observed city- wide festival, and the internationally-known Santa
Fe Opera. The great local following for these and other special events, the Santa Fe Chamber
Music Festival, Indian Market, Spanish Market and the Festival of the Arts, to name a few, attest
to the fact that art and culture abound in this small city. A myriad of arts and crafts shops and
approximately 150 art galleries are busy accommodating Western art lovers throughout the
year.
Ticket prices vary accordingly to the event. Santa Fe Opera tickets should be arranged as
early as possible. Airfare from Denver to Albuquerque currently starts at $138 per person
roundtrip ; Santa Fe is about an hour northwest, by rental car. (Restrictions and penalties do
apply to the purchase of air tickets; be sure to check the details.)
This year marks the 12th anniversary for the Vancouver Children's Festival and the third
Annual International Symposium on Arts for Young Audiences. Vancouver has long been renowned for its spectacular mountains, acres of wooded parks, and miles of beaches. Wellknown to many performing artists around the world, the festival is an annual springtime explosion of culture and color set against a backdrop of mountains and the sea. This week-long event
at Vanier Park has brought together the finest talent in children's entertainment from points all
overtheworld . lfyou go, airfare roundtrip currently starts at$316 from Denver. The festival dates
are May 15-22, with activities for ages three years and up.
Just outside of Washington D.C . in Vienna, Virginia, is Wolf Trap, America's only national
park dedicated to the performing arts. The 100-acre park is a partnership between the WolfTrap
Foundation and the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
Performances at WolfTrap are planned to interest all types of people. Programs include jazz,
dance, operas, operettas, and popular performances. The pleasure of picnicking on well-cared
for land before a performance appeals to Wolf Trap fans.
STYLE
You won 't have to look outside Fort Collins
for a festival experience this summer. The
Fort Collins City Festival , in cooperation with
the Chamber of Commerce, is organizing a
multiple-day event centered around the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Fort.
Jan Carroll , festival chairman , says the
festival will focus on the areas of the arts,
sports, food, and history. "The performing
and visual arts components of the festival are
developing into one of the most exciting features, " says Carroll. Scheduled for August
18-20, the festival
is an event you certainly won 't want to
miss.
