Tuesday
6:45a.m.
Connie is a substitute teacher today at a Fort Collins school. Like
many families, we are a two-income
household out of necessity rather
than choice. This means Dad becomes Mom and Dad at times.
This Mom stuff is tough. I grew up
in the traditional family that most of
us in the Pepsi Generation experienced. My Dad worked in an office
and didn 't do much at home besides
work he brought home from work.
Mom was the Mom. That meant she
took care of us and the household.
Today I come in from work just in
time to wake the kids so they can
kiss Connie goodbye. Now comes
breakfast. Their school lunch I made
last night. This morning it's toast,
scrambled eggs, milk and a banana.
So healthy! Wait, have I left out any
of the four food groups?
Kate needs her long, silky hair
combed. I'm great at this. It's when
she wants French braids that I'm a
disaster - her hair ends up looking
like entwined hotdogs.
Shoes tied, double-knots. Teeth
brushed. Coats on. Homework? Already in their packs. Does anybody
know where my car keys are?
Finally, we 're on the way to school.
We live in the mountains. There is no
bus service. I drop the kids off and go
back to Sunnyside, to work, until 3
p.m. when I will pick them up.
At noon I break briefly for lunch and

fiction , who will rewrite the opening
of a story at least 20 times to get it
perfect. The attempt is usually futile.
My advice to him: Write the damned
thing and get on with the rest of the
story. Go back later and work on the
opening. But don't spend all your
time perfecting. You can spend the
rest of your life perfecting a project,
but then what will you have?
Perfection .. .and a lot of things left
undone.
In short , try your best. Do your
best. But don't keep re-doing it.
Perfection is only for angels, roses
and newborn babies.
Ideally, only one ultimate goal exists: to enjoy the moment, regardless.
Regardless of what?
Everything. All the stress. The
economy. Work conditions. Doom,
gloom. Bad weather.
I like the old saw about the Zen
monk who gave a follower a block of
wood to sand down to nothing. The
follower worked and worked and became fully consumed in the sanding.
He was joyous beyond belief. When
the block was nearly gone, the monk
returned, took away the sandpaper
and told the follower to use only fingernails. The moral: The goal was
the process, not the end. All life ends
the same. Each of us dies. So why
hurry beyond reason? Or worry?
Instead , search for the ultimate
goal: the enjoyment of the moment.
It ' s elusive, but we all have
reached it at times. For example:
Friday
Today is Kate 's Day. It's as important as any holiday. As a kindergartner, she doesn 't have to go to school
on Fridays. So frequently she and I
spend that day doing what she
wants. This is goal of mine.
To reach it, I made and accomplished the following priorities:
• Last night, after we put the kids to
bed at 8 o'clock, I worked until midnight.
• This morning I was back at work at
5 o'clock. Connie didn't teach today.
So I was able to work until midmorning when Kate and I headed
out.
All in all, I was able to get in a
good amount of work between last
night and this morning. These were

priorities I set to reach my goal:
Kate's Day.
Her decision was to swim at EPIC.
I float on my back, like a fat walrus, and, with buoyant swimmies on
her arms, she paddles around me.
Next, we go to the kiddie pool and
toss a ball back and forth. Then we
let bubbles tickle us in the frothing
heated pool. By midafternoon, we're
as wrinkled as old elephants.
I feel pretty darned good because I
accomplished the ultimate goal:
enjoying the present moment.
I know what most of you are thinking: "Hey, this guy can do these
things because he doesn't have an
8-to-5 job. He can do what he wants
when he wants."
Well, that's true, to a certain
extent. But Kay Rios has a rigid work
structure as the Parking Queen. Yet
she is able to make time for personal
interests. The only differences
between her and you, perhaps, are
that drivers who get tickets curse her
and, well, her high degree of Grand
Passion.
Some business people are
ladened with responsibilities: running
successful businesses and managing dozens of people. But they find
time - perhaps not as much as they
really want- for family.
Let me introduce three fellows who
can't be less busy than you:
• Tom Flanagan: president and CEO
of Home Federal Savings Bank. If
you don't know that banking is one
of the nation's busiest occupations in
these days of the S & L crisis, you
must not read or listen to the media.
• Mike Dellenbach, general manager
of Dellenbach Chevrolet Inc. A tough
business to stay alive in? Just look
the disaster befallen the industry.
Tens of thousands of workers were
recently laid off. The Big 3 lost billions of dollars in the last year. On
the local level, sales competition is
furious.
• Spiro Palmer, owner of Palmer
House Florist & Greenhouse.
Remember that bouquet you ordered
and wanted delivered the same
afternoon? Timeliness is everything
in the flower business. Certain seasons are the worst: Christmas, the
season when families are supposed
to be together, is particularly time-

consuming for a florist.
These fellows have three things in
common: high-pressure jobs; a crazy
demand on their work time; and,
most importantly, solutions for finding ways to be with their families.

office and frequently works at least
another at home. He also works
occasionally on Saturdays. "The
banking business, in general, has
been a pretty stressful occupation in
the last few years," he says.
How does he find time for fam ily
life? Like Fred Gardner, he coaches
the hockey team for his son, T.J., 10.
Flanagan participates in other family
recreational activities such as skiing
and hiking. He uses these activities
as a means of relaxing . "I find them
rewarding," he says. "They are totally
different than work. "
Dellenbach and Palmer each have
three children. The businessmen frequently spend six days a week at
work. However, they limit the time
there. Palmer is home by 6 p.m.;
Dellenbach, by 6:30p.m.
"That's when my family time begins," Dellenbach points out.
"There's homework to help with.
Scouting to do. In the summer
there's baseball. I try to be a part of
all that. In a nutshell, what I try to do
is set a rigid schedule for work that
leaves time for my family. I try to go
for quality time with my family rather
than a large quantity of time."
Meanwhile, Sundays are special
for the Palmer household. The family
spends the day together, often an
outing to the movies or a restaurant.
"My children and wife are very understanding," Palmer says. "We
spend a lot of time talking . Sometimes I'll bring them into the store so
they can see how much time this
business takes."
Vacations are a savior. Dellenbach
and Palmer try to get away with their
families for weekends during the
school year and a lengthy break in
the summer. "We always go a long,
long way aways so I can't be contacted by work," Dellenbach says.
A thought requires attention: Is
there something wrong in this world
when we have to escape work to
spend time with our family? Sure,
and it's wrong with almost every one
of us. Some of us don't like vacations because we have to work too
hard to get ahead or to catch up
because we took a vacation. We
can't let work go.
Go where?
Any where away. But we can't let
it. We take work home. We think
about it on soft summer nights when
we should instead be hugging our
sweeties. We find work haunting our
dreams.
National statistics show we work
the equivalent of a month more per
year now than we did back in 1970.
This despite the fact that the U.S.
worker's level of productivity has
more than doubled since 1948. What
does that mean? We can now produce our 1948 standard of living in
less than half the time. We could
have four-hour days or six-month
working years. Or we could take
every other year off. But what have
we done?
We work harder. And try to make
time for our families. Is there something wrong here?

I sit at my computer to finish this
article so I can take my family crosscountry skiing later this morning.
A wise ending is demanded. A
solution for all readers to gaze at and
shout, "Hey, I can spend more time
with my family if I do that."
The irony is, I don't have a solution. I spout off and moan. But a real
solution doesn't come. Nor will it

By Connie Kramer
ardening has traditionally
been the chore of the homemaker. Her spring days
were filled with planting
seeds and new sprouts, and
her summer days with
weeding, harvesting and
canning. Putting up vegetables and fruits was the priority, while
flowers, which could not be eaten,
remained a definite luxury. The garden was the main source of food in
the coming winter months and the
gardener's work was often fulltime.
The scenario is completely different now. The majority of people today live in the city, and if they have
gardens, they are mostly flowers with
an occasional vegetable thrown in,
but certainly not enough to make
canning or preserving worthwhile.
Women working outside the home
have no time for the activities that
kept their mothers and grandmothers
busy during the growing season.
Even the terminology is different.
Yesterday's gardening has become
today's landscape design. And with
the new terminology comes a whole
new industry complete with styles ,
trends and innovative ideas.
One of the hottest trends in the industry right now is water conservation. The first thought that often
comes to mind when talking about
Spring 1992
landscaping and water reduction is
xeriscaping. Landscape Designer
Sandy Schlicht says that she applies
some of the principles of xeriscape
to all of her design work. Most landscapes installed or retrofitted today
have less turf area with different
kinds of grasses, include mulch in
the flower beds, use soil with microorganisms introduced into it, and
have plants with similar water requirements close together.
However, with xeriscaping, many
times the plants and flowers are not
as brilliant as the annuals and perennials we usually see. In addition,
since most xeriscape plants are not
in full production and have to be special ordered from New Mexico or
Utah, they are often more expensive
than their more thirsty alternatives.
Evergreens and Junipers on each
corner of the house was the norm for
homes built in the 1960s and 70s. In
contrast, today's homeowners want
COLOR in their landscaping. Fort
Collins Nursery Designer Sharon
Lockwood says, "People want color
and they're willing to do the maintenance to keep it. We see people with
masses of perennials and flowering
shrubs." Perennials combined with
shrubs are exciting because they
constantly change with early, middle,
and late blooming varieties.
STYLE
Sue Runge office entry by Jim Sell.
Another colorful and constantly
changing option that is becoming increasingly more popular is the use of
wildflowers. While not as formal as
neat rows of shrubbery and exacting
borders of annuals, wildflowers provide an easy-care alternative that
many homeowners desire. "Wild flowers are extremely dynamic during the growing season," says
Landscape Architect Jim Sell. "They
are different every day."
Jim designed an entryway for
graphic design professional Sue
Runge, for whom color is very important. Consequently she wanted the
entry to her offices to reflect that emphasis. "I wanted it to look like the
flower boxes on homes I've seen in
Europe," she says, "an explosion of
color." With two banks of wildflowers
and various shaped pots bursting
with brightly colored annuals, that's
just what she got. She says cars
regularly slow down just to look during the height of the growing season.
Gardeners also include herbs
among their flowers and vegetables.
Homeowners especially enjoy their
favorite dishes cooked with fresh
herbs from their own yard. Jan
Gulley, of Gulley Greenhouse
Nursery and Garden Center, suggests "parsley , coriander (cilantro),
and basil for bright foliage as well as
, tasty seasoning. Also edible
flowers can enhance your
herb garden or patio pots with
color and unusual flavors."
The shrubs that are used in
today's landscape design are
·w"'"''',.."" also different than those used
20-30 years ago. Kevin Laman at Bath Nursery and
Garden Center says, "nothing

Years ago bushes like Lilac, Spirea,
and Dogwood grew 8-10 feet tall and
almost as wide . Today those bushes
have been bred to grow no more
than 2-4 feet tall at maturity. The
smaller species allow for much more
planting variety.
Not only are today's homeowners
asking for compact shrubbery, but
they also want almost full-size
growth. Dan McGuire of Earthpower
Landscaping and Patio says that ,
"many homeowners, especially those
living in large up-scale homes need
large caliber trees to give a more
'instant maturity'. This kind of landscaping will 'anchor' the house and
help to prevent over-planting" , he
says. A homeowner can plant a 20
foot Blue Spruce tree that will reach
full maturity at 30 feet. They don 't
have to worry that 30 years from now
the tree will be 80 feet tall and 30
feet wide and completely fill the front
yard. Homeowners and the landscape designers who assist them try
very hard to blend the landscape with
the lines of the house. Of course this
is much easier to do when working
with nearly full size materials.
Many of the lots that homes are
built on today are small compared to
those of the past. As a result homeowners seek to make wise use of the
space they do have . Often this
involves the use of "hardscape" patios , decks, retaining walls , overhead structures etc. , to make a kind
of outdoor sanctuary where today's
busy families can retreat.
These sanctuaries often include
water features to add to the relaxed
ambience trying to be achieved. Reflecting ponds, recirculating streams
and tiered fountains are all popular
choices . Designer Sandy Schlicht
says it is wonderfully therapeutic to
sit next to running water which has
the added benefits of cooling immediate surroundings and attracting
birds.
Kevin Laman adds that new PVC
milled liners are less expensive than
cement, allow for soil shifting, and
can be shaped in any design." These
work well in Colorado and add to the
beauty of the garden when you
include hardy aquatic plants and fish .
Bruce and Pam Roemmich of Fort
Collins have used many of these
ideas in the award winning landscaping surrounding their home. Since
the Roemmich 's are from the east
coast they were used.to lots of green
foliage. Consequently, as Pam put it,
they "globbed the place with trees",
including Aspen and Evergreens and
an astounding array of shrubs and
perennials. In the inner courtyard of
their U-shaped home they created a
retreat area that includes a 2-tier
fountain. A few years ago they
bought 5 goldfish to put in the fountain along with a stock tank heater
and a bubbler. The fish grew and
multiplied! She says the biggest fish
they have now is 10 inches long!
Gardening for wildlife opens up a
whole new realm of thought. Many
homeowners today plant to attract
butterflies and birds. Dill is a favorite
green for larvae that turn into butterflies. They eat their fill, form a
cocoon and become butterflies harmless and beautiful to watch. Jan
Gulley adds, "Monarda, Salvia,
Foxglove, Lions Ear and Pineapple
Sage attract hummingbirds as well
butterflies." The same idea applies to
many other bird species.
Many of the spaces that homeowners are trying to create do
include a focal point such as a water
feature, but another possible option
is the use of yard sculpture. Russell
Hoff at Mill Brothers says that artwork in the garden can become an
easier to maintain and less expensive focal point than a water feature.
Depending on the desired effect,
garden artwork can range from clear
plexi-glass contemporary art to iron
or steel kinetic (move when wind
blows) sculptures to conservative,
classical statuary. The pieces that he
has seen are from 2 to 12 feet tall.
No matter which kind of focal point
appears in the garden, more homeowners are interested in the way
their yard looks both day and night.
Outdoor lighting is popular to add a
new dimension to any landscape.
Lighting has been used effectively on
garden paths and as false "moonlight" on water, bushes or trees. In
fact some homes with innovative
exterior lighting look more interesting
at night than during the day!
Gardening has certainly evolved in
the last few decades. With so many
changes in so short a time the next
few years ought to be as interesting
or more so to watch. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the outdoor space you
have created, or if you haven't created it yet, start dreaming!

~By Linda Roesener
esigner Joseph Abboud celebrates the "natural exuberance of the American man"
this spring in his JA II Collection of menswear and accessories. This secondary
collection, a complete line of tailored clothing for the younger professional man,
compliments his couture line debuted in 1986. Locally, you can find JA II available at J. Pitner Ltd. in Old Town Square. John
Pitner, of J. Pitner Ltd. states that "we carry the JA II Collection
because the silhouette is great. With the extended shoulder and the tucked
waist, the suits are very flattering to most men. The line compliments traditional styles in soft, warm colors accented with ties that appear to be almost
hand painted."
Joseph Abboud says, "With the spring collection, I have expanded the
aesthetics of JA II to include many comparable details and fabrics found in
my couture collection. Customers can build a wardrobe that not only conveys a unique sense of individual style but from an investment standpoint,
is a great value as well."
Design concepts include a broader shoulder construction to balance
the fit of the suit and convey confidence and elegance without appearing
overdone. Wool fabrics , blends of wool/silk, and wool/silk/linen appear in
jackets designed to enhance man 's natural form. Neutral blues, grays,
and warm natural tones provide the cornerstone for the development of
a highly unique and individual look. A generous assortment of shirts
and ties complete the look with various tonal and textural combinations
appropriate for any professional or casual setting. "As always, there is
the guarantee of Abboud's design philosophy from season to season
so wardrobes can grow, accessories be intermixed."
Abboud added, "As men begin to appreciate the easy elegance of
intermixing tailored and casualwear, what we're beginning to see is
more suits and sportscoats being worn in informal settings. There is
a tremendous amount of personal innovation being expressed as
men begin to define their own sense of taste. JA II reflects my commitment to this evolution of masculine style and will continue to ring
true well into the future."
"Creating clothes isn't just about design," says Boston-born
Joseph Abboud. "It's about understanding lifestyles." And he
effectively takes this point of view and combines European and American
fashion to award-winning heights. Throughout his life this 41 year old designer has learned

and grown with some of the premier
designers of men's clothing. Over the
course of twelve years he served as
buyer, merchandiser, and coordinator of promotion and advertising for
Louis of Boston. From there he
moved to a year with Southwick,
three years as Director of Menswear
Design for Polo/Ralph Lauren, and finally one year at Barry Bricken refining "his own vision of men's style." "I
realized I had something new to say,
something that wasn't already out
there," says Abboud
Since 1986 when he formed his
company, Joseph Abboud, he has
received the 1988 Gutty Sark Award
for Most Promising U.S. Menswear
Designer; the1989 Woolmark Award
for distinquished fashion design,
the1990 and 1991 Designer of the
Year Award for Menswear from the
Council of Fashion Designers of
America (the only two time winner
ever); and he exclusively wardrobed
all the male television announcers for
the 1992 Winter Olympics in
Albertville, France.
In addition to the couture lines and
the JA II Collection, Abboud offers
The Joseph Abboud Womenswear
Collection, The Joseph Abboud
Men's Accessory Collection; JA II
Outerwear, and recently introduced
the J.O.E. sportswear line (this collection will be available at J. Pitner
Ltd. fall of 1992.) He plans to launch
Joseph Abboud Fragrances for
men and women later this year.
Mr. Abboud lives in Manhattan with
his wife and their one year old
daughter, Lila, the pride and joy of
his life.
If you are looking to acquire some
outstandingly handsome, and classically designed menswear, look toward the JA II Collection. The look
for spring 1992 is sensational!

when you don't feel like it. Scared people
frown . Confident people have a relaxed
smiling expression.
Though these are only a few examples
of how to build confidence, all of us could
benefit from trying them. Self-confidence
comes from making yourself do things
you don't want to do - repeatedly. Make
yourself do the uncomfortable over and
over. In time, you will find what once was
uncomfortable has become second nature . Practice on someone mildly in timidating and work up to more intimidating people.
Just as it takes time and effort to learn
your right colors, develop a to-die-for
body, acquire the perfect wardrobe, it
takes time to develop confidence.
Without confidence even the best clothing won't make you interesting. With confidence, you won't worry about your
clothes being more interesting than you.
Step Into
Confidence
By Debra Benton
A
friend of mine was shopping in a
San Francisco boutique. She had
tried on several outfits and was
now standing in front of the three-way
mirror in a rich-purple -hued full-length
sweater-coat and matching felt hat with
the perfect pheasant feather. The clerk
enthusiastically explained, "You look so
interesting ." My friend's husband , also
admiring his wife's outfit, overheard the
comment and said, "But she ~ interesting!"
The husband expressed what we all
aspire to - to be more interesting than
our clothes or our appearance.
Like most women, I like to see myself
in a perfectly put together outfit. I like it
when my hairdo turns out just as I
planned. I'm pleased when my make-up
successfully camouflages the flaws . I'm
glad when my hands look graceful and
my fingernail polish goes with my lipstick.
But I also want to make sure that if all the
things just mentioned that might make
me look interesting were missing, that I
would still be interesting. This is the true
test of stylishness. True stylishness
comes from confidence.
Without self-confidence , no hairdo ,
make-up, dress, or jewelry will make you
stylish. The fortunate thing is, just as you
can acquire the right clothes, you can
acquire confidence. Just as you deliberately set out to find the perfect pair of
shoes, you can del iberately set out to
increase your confidence. For example:
o Initiate a conversation with someone
whom you would normally feel uncomfortable speaking. Do that at least two
times tomorrow and everyday there after.
o Write a note to someone you don't
know but would like to, who has received
a promotion or an award. Write at least
one note per week.
o Pre-plan some light humor to insert into
a conversation with your boss or customers. Don 't rely on spontaneity. Plan
some humorous remarks for the start,
the middle, and the end of the conversation. Do this daily.
o Write a list of your past accomplishments. Elaborate on what you did and
what resulted. Start with 25 to 30 specific
accomplishments, then continue to add
to the master list as you achieve more.
Regularly remind yourself of your success .
o Ask a question during a meeting when
you would normally not speak. Then in
the same meeting ask a second and third
question.
o Smile more frequently, particularly

The Look

Step

Imade
Sf~
o step out with a stylish image
takes a lot of parts to make a finished whole : fashionable, wellselected clothing and accessories; a
clean well made-up appearance in your
hair, facial , and nail presentation; and
probably most importantly, a personal
confidence of your capabi lities.
Style queried a number of local establishments, whose duty it is to make us
look our best, for some suggestions on
how we can all look and fee l better to
effectively present our best image. They
also offered information on current trends
in their various image related fields .
Those included are by no means a complete listing of image related businesses.
Our community is well supplied with quality merchants and we salute them all for
their dedication to their field.
Jan Caldwell , Director/Owner of Elan
Modeling and Talent stated, "Professional
presentation includes everything from
head to toe and leaves NO chapters out.
People form an opinion of you in the first
30 seconds of a meeting, so your professional image should be consistent - Make
a strong statement - strong enough to be
noticed and remembered positively."
To put this "stylish self" together, select
from the beautiful fashion wear from any
of the local stores we've previewed in our
Best Dressed Step Out for Spring pictorial. Before heading into a store, consider
color consultation or analysis. Diane Dill,
owner of Colorscape by Diane offers
these tips for wardrobe and color selection and coordination. "An image consultant should provide the information for a
person to enhance their unique image.
Select someone who utilizes a computerized system which takes into account
your hair, skin and eye colors to suggest
a large pallette of colors correctly balanced for you personally."
Now you have the knockout clothes
What do you put with them? Always consider and select proper accessories.
Susan Harrison of the Jewelry Emporium
feels that accessories draw attention to
what you wear and pull it together for a
complete look. Successful dressers use
accessories to convey attention to detail an important quality in business and in
home life.
The current trends in jewelry and
accessories is back to traditional styling.
People are purchasing less costume jewelry and more genuine gold in styles that
are smaller in size and more refined. Both
women and men, are looking for quality
pieces that are not dated - designer lines,
customer designs, classic, tailored, gold
with tastefully inset diamonds and colored
stones. Contemporary, fun jewelry is still
popular for a more casual look, though
the sizes this year are not so large and
bold.
The right shoes and handbags are very
important to your overall appearance .
Sharon Whiteman co-owner of Lady 's
and Gentleman's Shoes comments that
lower heel and flats are stronger now.
The professional woman no longer "must
be in heels" to be dressed properly - The
outfit dictates the type of shoe. For example, the city short , a longer , fuller,
dressier short, looks very professional but
requires a slightly more casual shoe .
Comfort as well as stylish appearance is
what counts. She also adds that it is still
important to have a few of the classic
basics to complete both male and female
wardrobes . Ladies , a pair of spectator
pumps in black, navy, or brown are
always in good taste; and gentlemen,
black or brown wingtips will always be a
must for dress suits. However, she adds,
"the fun colors are more prominent than
ever before. Men are adding softer greys,
tans, and rich browns. Purples and
greens are reappearing in women's
shoes season after season."
Eyewear is no longer worn just to allow
you to see more clearly - today it's fashionable and fun. You may select a nonprescription glass in an attractive frame
just because you like the look. Debbie
Schneider of For Your Eyes Only says
"the Preppie Metal" is currently the most
popular look with a round, smaller frame
in tortoise , black or anything antiqued.
Glasses offer an intelligent, professional
look that can be influenced simply by

color or style of frame - helpful to the
younger professional."
Cindy Barnett, of Lenscrafters, says,
some people are choosing glasses to
vary their look. "Many are having the
glass coated to cut down glare and for
UV protection indoors and out."
Dr. Tammra Johnson adds that "overall, clients today are more conscientious
about eyecare. In addition to UV protection, there is no stigma to protective eyewear for work or play, such as ski or
safety goggles or reflective lenses for
computer work."
Contact lens are also quite popular,
giving an open, inviting, personable image to the wearer. Dr. Douglas Kiefer of
Doctors of Optometry says, "Disposable
contacts are the hottest eyewear product
out ... when they get dirty (usually 10
days) you simply throw them away. They
are perfect for someone who travels frequently." Tinted lenses and bifocal contacts are often replacing glasses too.
Sunglass styles continue with strong
traditional looks - men continue to feel
good in aviator and teardrop frames from
long-time brands Ray Ban and Serengeti.
Women's tortoise and metal frames are
rounder, and updated with .cat eye
shapes. "Our customers are researching
and educating themselves on sunglasses
before they come in to see us,"comments
Patricia Bell of The Eyes Have It, 'They
are looking for versatile sunglasses with
high quality lens and frames improved
with 100% UV protection."
A critical part of our stylish image is
just how our body looks from head to toe.
Good nutrition starts the process - from
the inside out. Jodi Livingstone, Program
Director for Fort Collins Jenny Craig suggests we all need to eat smaller meals
more often. "Select three balanced meals
combined with three nutritious snacks for
a high energy level, healthy body, and
safe weight." The professional can stay
healthy and more productive longer by
avoiding "yo-yo" diet plans and keeping
up the exercise.
And there are plenty of opportunities
for exercise - health clubs, personal trainers, nearby swimming and skating, tennis
facilities, and open spaces for those fun
runs or walks.
JD Murphy at Healthworks says, "Time
limitations are the biggest problem for
most professionals. The Life Circuit computerized electronic system is a very successful answer for those people. It is time
efficient, takes only 30 minutes and provides a complete workout with toning and
cardiovascular exercises."
Murphy has also seen changes in the
hours people work out. More business
people come early or mid-morning before
going to work. This allows them more
time for work, families, and themselves.
Patty Spencer from the Fort Collins
Club says that fitness and exercise are
no longer just fads; the are important
parts of every day life. She also sees that
"the noon workout has increased greatly
for women. Instead of the power lunch
they are opting for exercise . They also
are spending time with personal trainers
to establish the best program for themselves. "
This concept of a personal trainer is
growing temendously since it provides a
flexible, convenient method of exercise .
Lifelines owner, Susan Edsall works with
each individual to develop the right program for their needs whether it be
endurance, weight loss, or aerobics. She
sets up in-office or in-home programs for
her clients, then keeps extensive records
and constantly observes that correct
methods of exercise are being used.
Susan adds "Not only is exercise beneficial to your body health, it promotes a
sense of mental control, consistency, and
helps combat stress."
Another component of a stylish image
is quality skin care, make-up and hair
care. A facial begins your trek to your
personal best and will leave you feeling
spectacular. Remember, facials are unisex, men; they are great for your skin too!
Dr. Marilyn Braun of External Rejuvenation follows the European concept of
corrective skin care and maintenance of
normalized skin. She recommends skin
treatments once a month or every 3
weeks to cleanse the pores and allow
moisturizer to penetrate, producing
healthier skin. She believes in simple procedures for skin care. "Your skin doesn't
know what time of day it is, so you don't
need day and night moisturizers. Add a
little olive, castor, or canola oil to your
current moisturizer to use at night during
cold months."
Carol Yancey, of The Total Image offers complete facials finishing with a final
moisturizing phase after a moisturizing
mask, with as many a four moisturizers
for dry Colorado skin. "All are applied
cool to help close the pores. While this is
on the skin, apply soothing camomile eye
compresses, then rinse with warm water,
apply toner and a finish moisturizer."
Deborah Westphal of the Westphal
Clinic reminds Coloradoans that sunscreens are a must for skin. "At least SPF
15 should be used at all t imes.
Remember, you can slow down the aging
process, but not reverse it except through
facial surgery."
Once you are cleansed, moisturized,
and sunscreened , you are ready for
make-up. Most professionals are wearing
the natural look in make-up to enhance
your qualities without looking "made-up. "

clients on proper application. "The current
trends lean toward lighter colors for a
softening effect - frosted lipsticks and nail
colors and colors coordinated with current
fashion colors," she adds.
Lynette Davis owner of the Nail Parlour
is noticing more and more men coming
for manicures. It bespeaks a professional,
polished look - neat and organized.
"Manicures are actually a time managment tool for the professional. Women
today consider manicures a necessity not
a luxury." Approximately 98% of Lynette's
clients request acrylic nails since they are
durable, color doesn't chip, and they look
natural without polish.
And what would the stylish look be
without a stylish head of hair? Very weak
at best. Phyllis Thode , owner of
Headlines of the Rockies says "The key
words for the professional are soft and
dramatic. Hair styles for both men and
women have 'power.' Men like a sharp,
clean cut, longer on the top (the Wall
Street Look). Women have a lot of latitude in designs, as long as it appears
soft."
"Many individuals who are looking for a
change without making drastic changes
are choosing wigs, hair pieces, and hair
extenders. " adds Fred Polichio, owner of
the Upper Cut. Coloring and highlighting
to cover grey is still popular both for men
and women . To go along with the softer
looks, perms are less tight and are often
body waves.
Lisa Neiberger of Tangles also sees a
softer more 60s look for women . She
suggests, "A consultation with a stylist to
take into account face shape and hair
type. It's important to have a stylist who
will teach you how to style your own hair,
especially a new style." She also recommends using professional hair care products formulated for your type and condition of hair.
So from head to toe you look your best,
you feel your best and you're ready to
face that work day world out there. Step
out and knock 'em dead with your stylish
image.

ower is defined as
"The ability or capacity
to act or perform effectively." Lunch is "A
meal eaten at midday." Therefore the
Power Lunch should in fact
be a meal eaten at midday
that (in some manner) allows
us to perform more effectively. What the Power Business
Lunch has become is an
opportunity to enact effective
business strategies while
enjoying a meal - in other
words, an opportunity to
strategize with business colleagues or clients in a nonthreatening situation.
Lydia Dody, Cathie May,
and I embarked on a journey
to find a number of the best
Power Lunch restaurants
{J f4/P
ing,
wallpaper,
and
European art prints. The
tables are large enough to
work with no problems of privacy. When they know you
have a meeting, they do
their best to accommodate
your needs. There are two
larger rooms that can be
divided to provide seating
from 20 to 90.
The food at Bisetti's is
always quite good and consistent. There are always
the traditional pasta and
salad favorites, plus one or
two specials. Lydia tried the
special that day of a grilled
chicken breast served with
mandarin oranges and
sliced almonds with pasta on
the side. Cathie tried the
eggplant parmesan served
with spaghetti. "Always wonderful." I enjoyed my restaurant favorite, vegetable
lasagna. Each dish was delicious. We finished the meal with, of
course, cheesecake ("excellent!") and
my other favorite, Coffee Tortoni - like
creamy, frozen coffee mousse.
We headed south to convene at
The Moot House , a traditional
favorite, where Steve Taylor, one of
the owners, joined Cathie and me as
we lunched in one the comfortable
booths. The restaurant is well set up
for business meetings - with several
separate meeting rooms to accommodate 20 to 60, two and four person
booths, and large open tables not
positioned too close to each other.
Steve adds that they really enjoy their
professional clientele; many companies have meetings there one and
two times weekly.
The restaurant has probably the
town's most well known salad/soup
bar. The prime rib vegetable soup is
excellent. The menu has some long
time favorites - sandwiches, pasta,
steaks, chicken, seafood, and each
day the kitchen prepares several specials. Cathie tried one of the specials
that day, lasagna. She deemed it one
of the best lasagna meals she had
ever had - "Noodles done just right;
sauce delicious." I enjoyed the grilled
shrimp served with steamed vegetables. This dish is nice lighter fare, with
just enough food to fill you up comfortably. Of course, we finished with

However, we
in Fort
did eliminate
fast food locations, though a
great deal of business is
tranacted daily in locations such as a
nearby Mac Donald's or Wendy's.
Our first lunch took us to one of the
Choice City's hottest luncheon business destinations - Jay's located on
the corner of Oak and College in the
heart of downtown. As we were seated, we noticed numerous lunch
patrons from financial, insurance, and
legal professions. Jackie Witlen, who
owns Jay's with her husband Jay
Witlen joined us to "give us some
facts." The opening of this location
was a long time coming, but "the
building was right; the finances were
right; and the time was right to make
the step up to this larger location."
They will soon begin to serve
Saturday and Sunday brunches, in
addition to lunch and dinner. The
restaurant is tastefully decorated in
comfortable contemporary tables and
chairs. The actual table space and
open area between tables is ample
for business meetings. Jackie added
that they have an nice large meeting
room, The Columbine Room, available for larger parties up to 60. Noise
level is a bit higher due to the high
open ceiling, but not detrimentally so.
The food however, is superb! The
Witlen's have always been known for
their innovative, high quality selections and they continue with this at
Jay's. Jay is in charge of the kitchen
Spring 1992
and has a well trained staff. All have
a number of years experience/training in commercial kitchens.
The bread and desserts, which are
wonderful, are made on the premise
daily. They offer southwestern dishes, pasta, sandwiches, and salad
selections. Each day Jay creates several specials made with only the
freshest, seasonal ingredients. Cathie
enjoyed the french dip twist, a thin
sliced steak sandwich on a homemade roll topped with mushrooms,
onions, and cheese. It was served
with fries and fresh fruit. Lydia
savored one of the specials, shrimp
with avocado mousse. Large shrimp
were baked and served along with
fruit around a centerpiece of avocado
mousse. Lydia said the flavors were
deliciously unique, and light. I tried
the Chicken Taquito, a delicious
grilled chicken breast served with
black beans, pica de galla, and
pineapple salsa, rich with cilantro. It
was outstanding. Jay has quite a flair
with southwestern dishes. We finished with two of the excellent
desserts made fresh daily.
Another downtown favorite is
Bisetti's
Italian
Restaurant.
Manager, Jenny Fotovich, welcomed
us into the newest of the three dining
rooms, the Garden Room. It is a nice,
open room decorated with wainscoat-

Continuing south, we stopped at the
Wine Cellar restaurant, a long time
community favorite for special occasions. It is, however, one of the city's
most popular power lunch locations.
When they know you have a business
meeting, they make sure you have a
well lit location. The tables are large
and comfortable and the atmosphere
is a bit more relaxed. When you need
to have a location for a longer meeting, this works quite well. They can
accommodate larger business meetings in several locations.
The Cellar always has a nice selection of pasta, luncheon entrees, salads, and sandwiches plus several
nice specials each day. Lydia ordered
her personal favorite the cobb salad,
a large bowl of crisp, mixed greens,
topped with big chunks of turkey, lots
of bacon, vegetables, and hard
cooked egg. Cathie tried the fettucine
special, with chicken and a light
cream sauce. "This is sensational." I
enjoyed the shrimp stir fry which had
a nice mixture of fresh vegetables
and bay shrimp in a flavorful sauce.
Our final stop was at Young's
Cafe. Tom Tran and Yvonne Young,
owners offer the city some of the
finest Vietnamese cuisine. The
restaurant is open and light. The tables are quite comfortable for meetings and they have taken care that
they are spaced well. They serve
many of the south located businesses
on a regular basis and much of their
business is repeat. They have a mid
sized meeting room available also,
that will seat 20 to 50.
You can choose from a wide selection of fresh and unusual cuisine.
Cathie enjoyed the super bowl, a
combination of spring rolls, grilled
pork, fresh vegetables and bean
sprouts, plus a topping of peanuts.
"Lots of crunch and flavor." It is
served with fish sauce dressing. I
selected one of the lunch combos,
tropical island, a stir fry dish of beef,
shrimp, chicken, and vegetables in a
spicy sauce. It is one of my dinner
favorites along with the spring rolls
which are out of this world. We finished with fried ice cream - vanilla ice
cream with a crunchy flake topping,
flamed at your table.
We truly thank all the restaurants
we visited. Our service at all was excellent as was the food. We were
pleased to find that there are lots of
opportunities for professionals to
"power up" in most comfortable, and
business conducive locations.

A LIVING TRUST
... A/1/t~s Cracked Up To Be?
By Ronald W. Rutz
ince the passage of the uniform
probate code, the basic estate
plan for a married person in
Colorado has fallen into one of
the. following three general categones:
• If one's net worth was under $600,000
and if no beneficiary needed special
protection like minor children, then all
that was needed was a $75 to $100
Will, a $50 durable power of attorney,
and the property held by the couple be
titled as joint tenants;
• If one's net worth was under $600,000
but if one had minor children, then a
$100 to $150 Testamentary Trust Will,
a $50 durable power of attorney, and
the property held in joint tenancy would
be sufficient; or
• If one's net worth was over $600,000,
then a $200 to a $300 marital deduc-
S
tion Will, a durable power of attorney,
and property held in tenants in common eliminated or reduced taxes while
taking care of the estate.
Many people have been lead to
believe that living trusts are superior to
Wills for three reasons: to avoid probate, to provide for incapacity, and to
eliminate estate taxes.
But what about probate? If the key
assets are held in joint tenancy, then
there would be no court supervised
probate upon the first death. Probate
through court would only occur upon
the second death because the property
would pass automatically to the other
person on the deed or title upon the
first death. But is court probate so bad
in Colorado?
The seminar givers and book publishers say that court probates are ex-

pensive, time consuming, complicated,
and destroy the privacy of the family
affairs. Although that may be the case
in many states, it is not the case in
Colorado if unsupervised administration
is used in probate court .
It only takes four simple forms to start
an estate (Will) probate in Colorado
using unsupervised administration.
Some people do it themselves.
Probates do D.Q1 have to last a year or
more. Attorneys are not required. The
Personal Representative is in control
and decides how much to use outside
help; like attorneys or CPAs. Attorneys
are not allowed to charge a percentage
fee. Inventories and accounting reports
are not required to be filed. And to
close the estate one simple document
needs to be filed with the court.
Thus privacy is not invaded because
inventories and accountings are not
filed and as a result personal information does not become public. The average probate in court in Colorado takes
only a few months and costs on average less than $2000 to complete. The
reality of a court probate in Colorado is
a far cry from the years in court and
costs of tens of thousands of dollars
that the books and the seminars paint
to justify the need for a living trust.
Also note that just because a person
does a living trust, probate is not necessarily avoided. Unless .all of the property is retitled into the trust, or even if
all the property was retitled in the trust
but subsequently acquired assets are
put in the individual's name and not in
the trust, a probate will be required to
put the assets outside the trust into the
trust, assuming that a person has the
pour over Will which then directs the
assets into the trust. So note that a Will
is needed even with a living trust and
that all the assets have to be taken out
of the individual's name and retitled into
the trust. In fact, some attorneys speculate that as many as two-thirds of a// living trusts will be probated through the
court procedure because at death
assets were outside of the trust.
Although a living trust can avoid an
expensive and judicial conservatorship,
a simple durable power of attorney can
do the same and more. A trustee has
no special legal right to make medical
decisions. Under a power of attorney
an agent can not only make economic
decisions, but can be given authority to
make medical decisions. Otherwise
(except for spouses), a guardianship
would have to be established. Thus,
even with a living trust, a power of
attorney is highly desirable to give
someone the power to make medical
decisions.
Finally there is nothing magical about
a living trust in tax planning. What is
done inside the trust for tax purposes is
exactly what is done in a marital deduction Will. The question then becomes
not whether a living trust is used for tax
planning but whether a Will or a living
trust is needed for probate or personal
business. With that question answered,
the planning can be done. Approaching
the problem from the other direction
may mean a person is captured inside
a costly and complicated maze that
does not take advantage of Colorado
law.
What about the cost? Normally
instead of paying $1 00 for a Will and
$50 for a power of attorney, the cost for
a living trust will usually be between
$1500 to $2000 after all of the various
costs are added in, including the cost to
transfer the property to the trust.
Consequently, the cost to set up the living trust plan may equal or exceed the
cost of a probate (you have preprobated your estate because the steps necessary to set up the trust are similar to
the steps to settle your estate).
Following the establishment of the
trust, people have operating costs,
such as the periodic review of the
documents and the transfer of property
to the trust, along with the costs of retitling all of the trust property if trustees
change (i.e. , Trustee A resigns and
Trustee B takes over). Finally, to terminate the trusts, most of the steps to
close out the trust are again the same
steps (and expenses) generated to settle the estate anyway. Some attorneys
refer to living trusts as a double or even
a triple probate. Trusts are D.Q1 quicker,
easier, and less expensive to settle
than probating an estate in Colorado
using unsupervised administration.
Should no one be put into a living
trust in Colorado? Absolutely not. Then
should everyone be put into a living
trust in Colorado? Absolutely not. But
before a person makes a decision, he
should have an idea as to what a probate actually is in Colorado. The current, hidden, and future costs and complications of a living trust must be
understood and appreciated because
once a person gets away from the generalities and jingoisms of the books,
articles, and seminar givers, the real
world that we live in here may appear a
very, very different place. And the living
trust that was to be so much cheaper,
quicker and easier to use, as opposed
to a Will, turns out to be the opposite.

--Bill West
"Knowing your purpose enables
you to do many things."
By Sandra Cowan
ill West is a sensitive and caring
person who devoted from 1986
to 1991 to the "hostage freedom
quest" holding vigils for Tom
Sutherland until he was released
out of capitivity from Lebanon.
Bill's support gave inspiration to
both the Sutherland family and
the Choice City that one individual can
make a difference.
Bill, one of the organizers of the
Friends of Tom Sutherland Planning
Committee, was instrumental in presenting Tom with a warm welcome
back to his hometown. Bill's positive
outlook helped keep alive a spirit of
hope in our community for 5-1/2 years
to show that Fort Collins is a city that
cares.
Bill, who never met Tom until the day
he returned Fort Collins, became involved a year after Tom was taken
hostage. On Sunday, December 1,
1991, a homecoming welcome that
captured the hearts of 10,000 jubliant
well-wishers , was the culminating
event Bill worked hard to orchestrate
after Tom's 2354 days of captivity in
Beirut.
Bill grew up in a farming town of
1300 people called Tonganoxie,
Kansas, just outside Kansas City. He
yearned to explore the bigger world
away from there, to experience more
of what the world had to offer.
Exploring new horizons and having an
interest in the human condition provided Bill the impetus to be part of something bigger than oneself. "We all want
to make a difference in some say," he
says.
In 1973 he graduated from Kansas
State University with a B.A. in psychology and a specialization in marketing and public relations. His desire to
become a clinical psychologist since
the eighth grade was eventually negated when he took a practicum course
where he worked with psychotic people . He found there is great value in
knowing what you do not want to do.
After serving as executive director of
his national collegiate fraternity for several years, he realized that field also
was not to be his career.
In developing his career objectives,
he knew he wanted to
live in a university town,
to have a position where
he could assist and
serve people, and to create
his own career. After nine months, he
knew what he wanted to do. He made
a commitment to the real estate industry and has been a partner with the
Group, Inc. since 1979. He says his
career is fulfilling his life's purpose:
"there's no higher purpose than serving others to create a positive thought
or event in someone's life be it for a
moment or for a lifetime."
"Knowing your purpose enables you
to do many things. A person must first
discover his purpose for it to be meaningful," says Bill. "Searching for it is a
quest that serves as a springboard for
things to come."
Bill and his wife , Bev Donnelley,
M.D., an obstetrician/ gynecologist,
are expecting their first child, a son
Taylor Stewart, in May. As they listen
to the ultrasound, Bill describes the
creation of a person as a miracle within. He talks to Taylor every day. Bill,
41, and Bev, 40, are both from Kansas
but met through a mutual friend in
Colorado on May 28, 1989. Bill hopes
for Taylor's birth on that day. Another
interesting note is that Bill was born in
May when his mother was 41.
He enjoys reading inspirational
books. One of his favorite authors,
Charlie Tremendous Jones, says "who
you are five years from now is based
on the books you read and the people
you meet." Bill says you cannot motivate anyone but can inspire someone.
"I try to fill my mind with good things
and positive thoughts, always learning
the ways people have overcome
obstacles in their life, as Tom
Sutherland did."
Another author who is a source of
inspiration to Bill is his personal friend
of many years, Og Mandino. Bill is
mentioned in Og's recent book, ~
of the Ragpicker. Og mentors to Bill
through the way he expresses himself
in his writing, by his stories with spiritual overtones, that get to the soul of the
characters. "Spirituality is a critical
component of who you are. A spiritual
STYLE
hunger
exists for many people who never look at that dimension of their lives, who feel they do not
need any outside assistance. A look
within starts a person on a spiritual
pilgrimage."
Bill believes that success in life occurs when action meets purpose.
"Success is touching lives." It doesn't
have to be in a major way. Just by the
way a person lives is touching lives in
a positive sense," he says. Important
to Bill is giving Taylor a positive self
esteem, having open communication,
a sense of humor, taking things - not
himself- too seriously.
He brings his personal philosophy
and purpose to his profession in assisting others. He was elected president of the Fort Collins Board of
Realtors, was honored as Realtor of
the Year, has authored articles in national real estate magazines, and has
earned the Certified Residential
Specialist, of which less than two percent of all realtors achieve nationwide.
He has served in the Rotary organization, on the Fort Collins Housing Authority, and on political campaigns.
Bill says the future of real estate in
Fort Collins is positive. Based on the
layout of the urban growth area the city
will expand to about 250,000 people.
"A gradual growth that can be assimulated is positive."
With Bill's purpose of serving others,
his concern for people , his desire to
touch lives in a positive way, he has
contributed to the quality of life in our
community. His perseverance in the
"hostage freedom quest", vowing to
have vigils until Tom came home,
never knowing it would be 2354 days
gave a spirit of hope to friends and
family of the Sutherlands. Bill learned
to be part of something bigger than
himself, and that an individual can
make a difference. Thanks Bill, Style
