he alarm went off much too early the morning of our fashion shoot - the sun hadn't even thought to wake as our models had a 5 o'clock date to have make-up done at Headlines. Bill Brown, owner of Ambassador Travel and leader of our fashion safari seeped out our location and insisted it looked exactly like Africa between the hours of dawn and 7 a.m. and, we wanted our location to look authentic, didn't we? After a bumpy and adventuresome journey over dry creek beds and grassy pastures - the cows couldn't believe their eyes - our Style crew and models arrived caravan style. Good sports each and everyone - many thanks to them. The shoot was memorable. The morning was beautiful, classical music filled the air, beautiful clothes delighted our senses, and camaraderie prevailed through our common mission to photograph beautiful fall fashions contrasted against the wilderness of Africa. As always, Kari Armstrong, our very talented Art Director and John Forgach, our photographer worked hard to create our fashion pages. Our hearts were in it - we hope you like our results. For many career women who wait to have children, the issue is not whether to have children or career, but how to juggle having it all. Read how atter-40 motherhood is overwhelmingly positive, how these women manage time, family, and how motherhood changed their style of working. Speaking of careers, our special section focuses on professional women and entrepreneurs. We report on leading local women and gain insight on what motivates them . We salute and support them and hope you patronize them. Many exciting stories fill our fall pages. Enjoy reading them!

Rocking The Cradle

at By Libby James

or women who have their children late in life, having a baby is like going for a very long run. They think about it quite a bit, may delay it for a long time, but once they've done it, they're never sorry. (Admittedly, a run is over in a couple of hours and parenthood is a 20-year plus commitment.) Yet, according to several older mothers in the Fort Collins area, becoming a mother after 35 or 40 has definite advantages over becoming a parent at a more traditional age. Each mother has a different set of reasons for postponing motherhood, but it's impossible to find one who doesn't agree that it's the best thing that ever happened to her. They suggestthat parenthood is easier for them because they are established in a career, free of financial pressures, mature in outlook and "settled in" to a home and way of life. They view parenting as an endeavor to be shared with their husbands, and indicate that the dads are supportive, interested and involved with day-to-day child care. Less pressured by the need to succeed in a career and often more cognizant of the importance and rewards of family life, older fathers often have the ego strength, maturity and time needed to be dedicated and effective parents. Quitting a career, or even putting it on hold temporarily, is not an option for most older moms. "I love my career and I'll probably always have one," says Lydia Dody, 44 and the mother of Alexandria, 23 months and Meredith, six. "But for right now, my children are my

first priority, and it's going to be that way for a while." Dr. Bev Donnelley, 38, obstetrician/gynecologist at Fort Collins Women's Clinic, believes that her generation bought into the idea that career was a prime priority and that satisfaction in life could not be attained simply by marrying and raising a family. The Women's Movement had a devastating effect on the reproductive patterns of women now in their mid-thirties to early forties, she believes. "We were led, rightly or wrongly, to believe that "just" staying at home and raising children wasn't enough. That we wouldn'tbefulfilled. Thattherewasmoreto life than homemaking and parenthood." The media depicted women as having to make a choice between career and family. It wasn't until the "Super Mom" syndrome surfaced that women were talked into believing that they could have it all

and still maintain their sanity and a balance in their lives. Newer thought suggests that maybe it isn 't possible to have it all, at least not all at the same time, and concepts like the "Mommy Track" which allow for job-sharing and putting careers on hold temporarily during the early years of parenthood, are gaining in popularity. The advent of dependable methods of birth control is at the heart of the trend toward older motherhood. The ability to plan one's family allowed women to intentionally delay having children in order to develop a career and financial stability. Other women married men not interested in having a family and accommodated their wishes. Stillothersfoundthemselvessingle and unwilling to take on the responsibilities of parenthood alone. In a generation where sexual freedom was the norm, and divorce Btall(;.~ rates were skyrocketing, marriage held less appeal for many. Bev points to environmental concerns and the promotion of "zero population growth" as a factor for some women. Infertility was a problem for some who reduced their chances of conceiving because of various infections resulting from involvement with multiple sexual partners. And then there are the women who made a conscious decision to remain childless while in their 20s, who suddenly became aware of the relentlessness of the biological clock and had a belated change of heart. Dr. Austin Bailey, family practitioner and head of the Family Practice Residency Program at Poudre Valley Hospital, notices definite differences be-

tween older and younger moms, but says they vary a great deal with the individual. He believes the growing group of older parents is the result of changing lifestyles. He describes these parents as more settled and with a strong sense of who they are and where they are going. Because these parents tend to be calmer and more mature, children seem to fit into their lives more comfortably. Austin suggests that in many instances, parents in their late teens and early 20s are so consumed by the search for themselves that they have limited energy and perspective to devote to raising their children. The result is a less settled environment for the child. "There's no question about it, parenthood goes more smoothly when the child is wanted and planned for," Austin says. There is no such thing as the typical American family, according to Austin . "While it is difficult to generalize, we can say that more women are having their first child after the age of 30 and fewer women are rejecting motherhood because of age when they are in their late 30s and early 40s." He sees a certain irony in the fact that while a woman is in her prime childbearing years biologi-

is another risk that increases as women get older. (Teen moms are also at increased risk for toxemia.) Children born to older women suffer from higher incidences of chromosomal abnormalities resulting in birth defects, especially Down Syndrome. For example , the likelihood of having a child born with any sort of chromosomal abnormality is one in 500 for a 22 year-old and one in 39 for a 42 year-old . The risk of having a Down Syndrome child at age 22 is one in r:::;--....;:.:.;..~ I!V..... 1523 and one in 53 for a 42 Beth .Richardson offices at home to be with daughters Hilary,

year-o ld . These are risks that the older mother must be made aware of. "The best approach is to have a contingency plan should an abnormality be discovered, " says Austin . Bev says that in addition to amniocentesis which can reveal defects at 18 weeks, a new procedure, chorionic villi sampling, can reveal problems as early as 10 weeks into a pregnancy. Neither of the doctors discourage older patients from becoming pregnant, but both set 45 as a reasonable upper limit. Bev recently delivered a healthy seventh child to a 47-year-old mom. Bailey's oldest obstetrical patient to date was 44 at the time of delivery. "We're healthier, more athletic and in better cardiovascular shape than we used to be ," says Bev. Some of the old wives' tales about late pregnancies are going by the wayside. " "As the Baby Boomers age, I suspect we'll see the acceptable ;rwol!!llllâ&#x20AC;˘-.1 age for pregnancies rise," Austin predicts.

children . In her profession, she often counsels women who have infertility problems and sees and feels their heartbreak. Women who have made up their minds that they want children are seldom deterred by medical reasons, including infertility. Many go to incredible extremes to become pregnant, ranging from encouraging husbands to reverse vasectomies to undergoing a wide range of procedures from surgery to in vitro fertilization in order to become pregnant. Threatened by the ticking of their biological clocks, it isn't unusual for them to become obsessed with becoming pregnant. Once expecting , they tend to make themselves aware of the risks , to care for their bodies well during pregnancy, and to take advantage of testing procedures that will assure them of the health of their child and provide them with peace of mind. Beth Richardson, 38, a real estate broker with Stoner, has three daughters, Hilary 15, Cassie 11 and Molly, born in June 1990. "It's so much better the second time around ," she says of parenthood. "I'm much more calm and three times as patient. It seems to make much more sense." Not for economic reasons , but because she chose to, Beth worked full-time during the infancy and young childhood of her two older daughters. She managed, but admits that her husband at the time was less involved with her daughters, and that juggling motherhood and career was not easy. After a long-time relationship, Beth and Jerry Richardson, a hydraulic engineer at Colorado State University, were married last fall . Their decision to marry was entwined with the decision to have a child . Both admit to having some ambivalent feelings, mak-

ing the decision a difficult one, but Jerry had never had a child and Beth viewed having a child together as adding a deeper dimension to their relationship . When Molly was born , in the presence of Jerry, Hilary, and Cassie, Beth simply moved her office to her home. "After being in the business for so many years, most of my clients are referred by former clients and friends, making it easy for me to work at home, Beth explains. She nursed Mollyforthefirst month of her life, but now finds it easier to give her a bottle. She doesn't hesitate to take her along when a sitter isn't readily available. Two daughters old enough to care for Molly and a grandma in town ease child care problems for her. "We're maturing into feminism ," she says, describing the increasing acceptability of taking your child along while doing business. When Prue Kaley, a real estate broker with The Group, called Beth a few weeks ago to arrange a closing, she said. "Why don 't you bring your baby? I'm bringing mine." At 40, Prue, a first time mother of Kaley Anna, born in May, explains that Kaley has slipped easily into her busy lifestyle. "Pregnancy and delivery was a breeze, " she says. "I worked until the day I delivered and I listed a house six days after Kaley was born." In real estate for 15 years, Prue is married to Mark Gold rich, who has children aged 15 and 19 by a previous marriage. For Prue, it was circumstances more than anything that kept her from becoming a parent. As a young married woman she managed a clothing store before deciding to go into real estate. It was easy to put off having a child back then, she explains. "I always thought that I would someday, but I had no immediate desire then . In my 30s, I was ready to have a child, but by that time I was single." When she married Mark three years ago, he supported Prue's desire to have a child , but the process took more than two years and surgeries for both . Mark was Prue's coach during delivery and has been closely involved with Kaley from the moment of her birth. "He's a different person at 43 than he was as a young father," Prue says. "We figure that Kaley will keep us both young." Linda and Rick Roesener made a conscious decision to put off parenthood until their careers were well underway, until they had a comfortable home and until they had been able to do some special things together. Now 41 and the mother of Lauren, six, and Spencer, born in May 1990, Linda continues to work as a full partner with Rick in ADS, Advertising Development Specialists. She believes her decision to delay motherhood was the right one for them both. The arrival of Lauren when Linda

was 35 did not result in a drastic lifestyle change for the Roeseners. Because they own their own business, they felt free to bring Lauren to the office frequently. They took her with them on social occasions and when necessary, didn't hesitate to hire a competent sitter. "When Lauren was a week old we left her with good friends and went to a movie," Linda recalls. "It was good for both of us." From the age of six through 18 months, Lauren was cared for in her own home by a nanny who became a very special friend. "Lauren listened to every kind of music from classical to rock, was played with and entertained, nurtured and loved," says Linda. Lauren has always been a part of ADS. She has come to count on a weekly luncheon outing with her dad. "She sees her parents during the day more than most kids do," Linda says. Linda has an incredible capacity for work, zeroing in on what needs to be done, undaunted by the small irritations and distractions that bother some people. She worked until the day Spencer was born and next day was back in the office for two hours to complete the payroll. Next day she spent six hours at work and from then on, was back on a full-time schedule. She does about two hours' worth of work at home before going to the office where she spends at least six hours each day. Spencer, who she is nursing, goes along. "I have a private office, so it works well," Linda explains. "It wouldn't be possible to operate this way if we didn't have our own business." Lydia Dody was married at 19 and spent many years pursuing a career in fashion merchandising and making sure that she didn't become pregnant. When she married Richard Hettler in 1979, she was 33 and ready to become a mom. But it wasn't until five frustrating years later, after eight miscarriages, multiple surgeries and an attempt to adopt that ended with the birth mother changing her mind, that Lydia's

older daughter, Meredith, now six, was born. Nearly two years ago, nine months after a vacation in Hawaii and acceptance on Lydia's part that she would never become pregnant again, Alexandria joined the family. "They're miracle babies," she says of her children. Motherhood has caused Lydia to rearrange her priorities. She sold her clothing store so that she could devote more time to her family. Still career oriented, she puts a great deal of time and effort into the creation of Style Magazine. But her children come first. And they often come with her. "Luckily I have very work each understanding clients," she says. Lydia says that she didn't know what she was missing until she had children. "I didn't realize how important they are, how much meaning they add to life, how fulfilled they have made me and how much love I have to give them." Being a good mom, exposing her children to opportunities she never had, showing them the world and bringing them up to be self sufficient, well-adjusted women who have the freedom to choose and can operate outside sexist boundaries, are priorities for her. Richard, who has twin boys by a former marriage, finds himself much involved with his daughters. Still, it is Lydia who takes the girls along with her, and who has the pri-

mary responsibility for arranging for good day care. "It's a juggling act," she says. Currently she has a flexible day care situation where the girls can go when necessary. The bottom line may be that despite increased difficulty in conceiving and sometimes in carrying and delivering a child, older women often make especially good mothers. "Children do best in an environment where they are wanted," says Bev Donnelley. "Parents do best when they know themselves well enough to set reasonable guidelines for their children and are not threatened by them when they 'act like kids." The strength to say 'no,' the wisdom to know when to do so, an understanding of the significance of good parenting, and the less pressured atmosphere of a well established home and career situation are factors that bode well for the older parent. Better health, better medical care and increasing longevity make it easier than ever before to embark on the adventure of parenthood later rather than sooner, and to feel good about it.

Fort Collins/ Childcare Options By Debra Hoglund

ort Collins has a veritable smorgasbord of services aimed at car(ng for our city's children . As a working mother of three ranging in age from 15 years old to 4 months old, I have explored the gamut of what is available for child care and early childhood education over the years. ' The selection of appropriate, affordable and beneficial childcare is one of the most important decisions we as parents will ever make. A well-selected and well-planned childhood program benefits your child, your family, and our community by nurturing the child's educational, physical, personal and social development. You must consider the type of care that best suits your child and always hope for care as good as you can provide personally. You may desire infant care or before and after school care; preparation for primary school; a free-play environment, large or small group interaction; care in your home; or maybe you need care for an ill child. Whatever your type of childcare need, there are resources located in Fort Collins. Some families prefer to hire a person to come into the home to provide care to have more control over the type of caregiver, meals, cleanliness, facilities and hours. It is also more convenient than dressing the child, preparing items needed away from home, transporting the child, and perhaps exposing the child to other sick children. Currently there is no business in Fort Collins that offers this "nanny" type of service.

There are placement services in Denver or you may acquire names through local advertising or word of mouth. Costs may be higher since care is one-on-one, but parental piece of mind may make it worth the cost. The next best option to in-home care may be a daycare home. The Larimer County Department of Social Services' Association of Family Day Care Homes provides a current listing of licensed daycare homes in Larimer County by zip code giving the name of the caregiver, their license number and renewal date, ages and capacity for which they are licensed, and the school district in which they are located. The Women's Center also provides a bulletin board listing daycare services and needs. The licensed daycare home must meet minimum rules and regulations . Many families prefer a daycare home because it provides family atmosphere, there are fewer children, more individual attention , and more flexibility to the child's needs. Daycare homes for infants can be difficult to find since most regularly licensed daycare homes are limited in the number of children under age two. Most daycare homes offer activities such as arts and crafts, organized games and play, guidance in self-help skills and a stimulating environment, while others offer primarily a supervised, free-play atmosphere. Both have a mixture of discipline and tenderloving care. The costs range from $50 to $85 per week dependent upon number of hours care is needed. Perhaps you may prefer one of several

smaller, locally owned daycare centers. Since there are fewer children, the environment is a mix of home care and that of a larger facility. Discovery Land , directed by Mary Hamilton and Deborah Whirty, is just such a facility located in a small , homelike setting (2 converted homes) in a residential area. They offer a program of play and learning activities for children ages six weeks to 12 years. They believe that the family and the interaction of siblings is important to a child's development and are happy to provide a service that gives children of different ages an opportunity to play and learn together. Another of the small centers is Jack and Jill, owned and directed by Nancy Mercurio, providing preschool, pre kindergarten, before and after school, summer camp and private kindergarten. They encourage development of, self-respect, independence, self-discipline and getting along with others. Other small, home-like daycare centers and preschools in Fort Collins are located in churches and private homes. Transportation to and from other schools is not usually provided, nor is before and after school care. Tuition is around $50to$75 per week. The teacher to child ratio varies some, but generally is 1 teacher to 5 infants, 1 to 6 toddlers and 1 to 8 preschoolers. The Montessori Program has been used in the U.S. since 1912. It was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori with a philosophy of an open-minded attitude, and respect for the child. Mary Crosby, Director of Pre-

nly a few minutes after 5 a.m. , surely my watch lied. No, I'd set it the night before. But the body's clock is not so easily set. Jet lag ... , who cares? I was in Africa and that felt good. Getting up was easy; evenly timed footsteps drew me to the window overlooking the courtyard . A green uniformed 'Askari' patrolled the grounds of the Hotel Norfolk. Smells, all new to me, were carried by the moist night air through the louvered windows. My traveling companions, wife Lynnda and daughter Devlin (age eight) , slept soundly. The uniformed Askari and I met on the courtyard ; he saluted, very British, and said, "Jambo Bwana." "Jambo" I said in return . 'Bwana', I liked that. Sorta felt like Stewart Granger, John Wayne or maybe even the real thing . As I stepped from the Norfolk's veranda, I recalled it was from these very steps that Teddy Roosevelt once left to take a carriage to the city. En route, he shot the huge lion that now adorns the Africa portion of the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. Today, the city comes up to and pastthe door of the Norfolk. The streets of Nairobi were just awakening. The early morning light and the night's rain combined to make the old city glisten. The shopkeepers were a long way from ready to open , but city market merchants were unloading the trucks of fresh cut flowers for sale. I huddled into the corner alcove of a store and set to shooting pictures of the city coming alive. My safari had begun. In the days ahead I would travel the country. The parks and their wildlife are the Fall1990

real reasons to see this place. At one point I stood staring at the Serengeti 's vastness. "Looks a lot like Wyoming," I said . Chris Michaelides, our guide said , "except for the millions of animals and the diversity." From where I looked I could see fires on the Serengeti plains nearly a hundred miles away. Also, I could easily see six to twelve species of antelope, hippos, lions, easily a million wildebeest and hundreds of buffalo Mount Kilimanjaro peaks through the clouds, behind

for any group. It developed over many years as a slave trading language and is the common language of East Africa. It seems most people who live for long in East Africa end up speaking several, even 6 to 7, languages. Africa is a huge continent, made up of many countries . If you want to see just how big , lool.< at a scale map; the U.S.A. will fit into it many times . Let me warn you that going or\ safari has it's difficulties ... the greatest of which is that you can't bear going only once! Africa gets in your blood and you want to !lJO back again and again. Most important, "do it now". Don't wait till next year, it might not be there! To capsulate the problem, Kenya's population is doubling every 15 or so years. This population must be fed and the park system is shrinking to garden plots and poaching is increasing. Remember, to us, just seeing a bull elephant with 80 pound tusks, or one of the few remaining black rhinos, is a thrill we pay thousands for. But, to the African , the elephant is a vicious beastthat steps on him, escapes the boundaries of the park and destroys in seconds the garden plot to which his survival is linked. Africa is protein starved and an elephant is one heck of a lot of protein. One elephanttuskor rhino horn represents a sum greater than the GNP of the entire village. Besides, the native might have 30 children by three to five wives and they're all hungry. Africa's problem is a simple one -there are too many people. The solution is complex. So, go soon , "while the wildlife are still there!". First, select your travel agent/ agency/ company carefully. There are over 700

Safari companies in Kenya. Make sure yours is a member of KATO (Kenya Area Tour Operators) which is administered by Mr. Sinduyu (a C.S.U. Graduate). Surprisingly, a tented safari is the most expensive because of the preparation time and manpower needed. It's also the best and by far the most fun! To me, the best place of all to stay is Little Governor's tent camp on the Masai Mara Game Reserve. So save it for last! A safari should include pickup at the airport. It's a long expensive ride to the city. In Nairobi, the Norfolk is the best place to stay. Carefully compare the total days included in the price of the safari. Vehicle quality is important, so inquire if the company owns or rents them . Breakdowns are no fun and can be dangerous. The most comfortable vehicles are the VW vans and the least comfortable are the 4x4 Land Cruisers, but they are necessary on tented safaris. Both should have a pop top roof to stand for taking pictures. The better companies have an educated wildlife interpreter in addition to the driver. The best interpreters are also professional hunters since finding game is their way of life. Make sure you don't have more people than window seats. Don't be overawed by a National Geographic quality brochure. Shop around and you 'll find some companies, many with simple brochures, that take only ten or twenty groups a year, go to the same hotels, stay as long, know the areas better and cost half as much as the very expensive companies. Shopping in Africa is an art form. In Nairobi, the City Market is excellent, as is the shanty town across the way near the Moslem mosque. If you don't like to haggle and aren 't a good poker player, good luck. Along the route I bought a six foot spear from a Masai for ten dollars and my shirt. Later I saw a similar spear for $170 in a Nairobi shop. Not only did I get it cheaper, but I've got the picture of the Masai I bought it from. We did all our Christmas shopping that year in Kenya. Who shouldn't go on safari? If you have allergies, check with your doctor. If dust bothers you, even though you can shower twice a day, don't go. Hotels have laundry service , though don't be surprised to see your clothes at the creek crossing that day being handwashed. If you don't like the outdoors and wildlife , don 't go. I guarantee that you, like me, will never forget the first time you 're greeted , "Jambo Bwana" or "Jambo Memsahib" and say to yourself, "this is where mankind began and I've finally gone home".

The

Office

Image The Professional Office Of The 90's Women today hold more office executive positions than 10 years ago. For example, in 1981 women comprised only about 25% of the managers and administrators, but that number has grown substantially. Because of this positive move, we're now seeing a change in the style of women's offices. Until recently, it had been assumed that women's offices should look like men's generic. Further, women dressed mostly in suits emulating their counterparts. Now they have chosen to dress more femininely. Hence, offices and the workplace have become more tolerant of the feminine image and actually find it to be refreshing. We are finally starting to adapt offices to our needs rather than adapting our work to our offices. Trends reflect individualism, personality and habits in a more homey, comfortable atmosphere, done in a tasteful, creative and well thought-out fashion. Comfort is also a key to high productivity, while providing comfort for those who patronize the services. The softer color pallette is seen throughout and it is being enjoyed by men and women alike. More flowing lines in pattern and furniture styles are visible, as well as the fluid transition of spaces which add to user pleasure. Lighting has been also softened. Harsh fluorescent lights in ceiling grids have been diminished. Instead, natural light is used where possible and incandescence is used as an uplight, accent or desk light. These provide a better overall feeling and color rendition as well as lower the incidence of glare which can cause eye fatigue and strain. The direction of the 90's office is a personal extension of one's self; not necessar-

ily a gender reflection. Personality and individualism through fabrics and textiles, colors and textures, shapes and forms are the means to the end. Art and accessories may be subtly or strongly used to make a personal statement. Has the woman changed the office space? Yes, in numerous subtle ways as well as some more overt ways. But more importantly, the woman has added to the overall feeling of individualization of the space; whether male or female. Vicki Dean is the owner of Inner Dzyn. She has recently moved to a suite at 3000 S. College to provide office and home design services more efficiently.

Healthcare Designs In The 90's Dramatic changes are occurring in the architecture and interior design of today's hospitals and healthcare facilities. Sterile, asceptic environments are rapidly becoming relics of the past. Attention to aesthetics and the psychological comfort of patients is the focus in the 1990's. Patient satisfaction, the difference between providing what a patient needs and what a patient wants, is a major concern. Today, there are more medical options available and an informed public chooses where it goes for healthcare. In a consumer driven market, healthcare professionals recognize thatthey must meet the patient's psychological expectations as well as the clinical needs. Facilities are being built and redesigned to project a sensitive medical approach to a society focused on wellness. Humanizing the medical environment is particularly challenging when space efficiency is a priority due to escalating construction costs. The specialty of interior design for healthcare has developed as we

STYLE

have become more aware of how environment effects human behavior. Studies on color response and technological advancements in materials and finishes have also played a major role in the function and aesthetics of healthcare facilities design. The design of dental offices and medical clinics is enhanced by careful selection of theme, color and furnishings that are specific to the end user. Each space should be a special place designed for a specific clientele. For example, dental offices require a unique kind of psychological comfort. Because the clientele remain dressed, buildings and suites are designed to take full advantage of nature and its calming effects. Small practices may be designed with a more residential feeling. Hospital interiors require clear circulation patterns and main traffic arteries. Wayfinding (a term used to describe a comforting way to direct patients and visitors to their destinations) is employed with special signage, lighting, floor materials, and design elements. This alleviates anxiety and confusion in an already uncomfortable situation. Trompe l'oeil (murals in perspective) often depicting resort type atmospheres are being painted on walls in magnetic resonance imaging rooms. New materials have assisted the interior designer in creating interiors that are easy to maintain and still meet stringent building codes. Beautiful commercial fabrics can be ordered with soil-resistantteflon finish. Antimicrobial carpeting is-available. Wall coverings come in a textural residential appearance but are still scrubbable. The age of designing for people is here. Strong but comforting design with forethought gives birth to a pleasant and efficient healthcare environment and makes it easier to provide tender, loving care. Irene Gutkowski has practiced interior design for eight years following a dedicated career in nursing.

Professional Women

By John Calhoun NC. Magazine recently reported that "In the last decade women owned businesses grew from 700,000to 3,000,000 companies . By the year 2000, half of all business owners are projected to be women." Recently, when Style asked prominent Fort Collins women professionals and entrepreneurs some provocative questions about their work and personal lives, we got a potpourri of answers. Some of the questions were : • What is success - really? • How do you reconcile family and work? • What do you wish to be remembered for in 50 years? • Do you enjoy what you do? Why? If you're a working woman, a mother-or especially both - you should be able to identify yourself in some of the answers. Or maybe you've got a different opinion altogether. Read on and check yourself against some of Fort Collins' most notable ..yomen: Independent entrepreneur Diana French, 40, of Class Case, Inc., says she's never experienced a conflict between family and work. Husband Don runs French's Cut Flowers; she superintends the manufacture of attache cases for children, along with partnerCharlotteOdau. Their kids-Justin, 13 and Shoni, 16- vacillate somewhere in between. "They worked for Don cutting flowers, but I paid them more so they quit and came to work for me," she laughs. Diana says her kids came up with new product ideas and even did payroll. "They suggested putting mirrors in the attache cases. The teens loved it. Now even fishermen are buying them. It's taking off and they really helped." Still, Diana says, "I asked Shoni what she'd remember me for and she said 'Mom, you're fun to be with.' That's enough for me." Jewelry retailer Lynn Hamann Roberts,

35, has a different perspective. She has no kids to help on the job: managing Sartor Hamann Jewelers at Foothills Mall. It's her skills alone. "I learned gemology in a largely male-dominated business," she says, "plus retailing, advertising, managing - everything ." Apparently it worked- in six years, she claims, Sartor Hamann has become the leading jeweler in northern Colorado, largely on its diamond reputation. But the greatest satisfaction is people. "Diamonds are emotional," says the graduate gemologist. "People are always happy, in love, romantic when I see them. I give them something they'll always remember." Off time, she and husband Keith golf, ski and travel. But mentally, she's never far from the job. "I'm always working on another creative angle," she says. Travel agent Judy Mucklow, 51 , works with husband Jim in running Choice Travel, with locations in Fort Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs. She could have immense family conflicts but doesn't. "My husband and I work ten to twelve hours a day together," she says," and then we're together at home. Obviously, we can't talk about work all the time; we have to find other things. Luckily, he's easy to get along with." Their secret of success? "Detail," she says. "This is a detail, paperwork business and I don't advise young people to get into it because of the 'glamour'." Ironically, Judy and Jim don't travel that much, but take great delight in making

STYLE

a trip the experience of a lifetime for others. "I define success as finding out what others need- not just want- and then giving it to them," she says. Lucia Liley, 40, attorney and partner with March & Myatt, answered the question "What is success?" differently as she got older. "It used to be more material things," she says. "Now it's finding a good balance between family and professional life that makes you generally happy with

your life. " Professionally, she finds fulfillment in helping people attain- or avoidthings that affect them . Recently, a homeowners' group hired her to oppose a major development expansion near their neighborhood and, after much trial and trauma, won. "It was close to their hearts," she says. "It affected them and their families directly and it made me happy to see them win ." Lucia has three children- Jeremy, 18, Josh, 13, and Megan, 11 -plus husband Bill, Director of Personnel at CSU. "Without their support," she admits, "none of this would be possible- or worth it." Nancy Valentine, 48, of Valentine Personnel Service has a simple definition of success- enjoying what you do. And she helps others do it, too. "I love my work," she enthuses, "but I find that 80 percent of the people out there don't." A participant in a recent 30-year school reunion, she says that "burnout" was the topic on everyone's mind. "It seemed like everyone was ready for a change . It's my job to counsel them in that change ." Even in a corporate job, she says, everyone can make at least some change. "Try to take on a few duties that make the job fresh and more rewarding . Ten years is too long to do the same thing." Nancy, who also runs VIP Greetings, a relocation service , wants to be remembered for one thing. "I founded a women's network here 15 years ago," she says, "and I hope

it's around for another 50 years." A plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Diane Duncan, 36, just started mixing family and career-two months ago, the Duncans had their first child , Danielle. "I'm glad I did it now rather than in residency," Dr. Duncan says. "That would have been a nightmare." After medical school , five grueling years in general residency and two in reconstructive surgery, her greatest challenge is making patients happy. "Sometimes cosmetic surgery gives people a whole new life, " she says, "and sometimes it doesn't. It hurts me when I don't see them change." One that did was a small child born with a cleft palate. The father had left the family over it. "The operation was a success and the father came home," she says."That's rewarding." To Kathleen Byington, 42, president of Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF), success is thinking well of yourself at the end of the day. "If I've done my best," she says, "I can sleep well, regardless of what kind of job I'm in." Kathleen, whose husband Tom presides over First Interstate Bank of South Fort Collins, was at first intimidated by her CSU professorial colleagues' esoteric knowledge and intelligence. "But over the years ," she says , "we've developed a tremendous respect for each other. They do a lot that I can't, but I can do a lot they can't - like securing patent protection, raising funds for research

and objectively evaluating the usefulness of all this technology to society. " A hundred years from now, she'd like to be remembered for bringing something really special out of all that. "Like a cure for AIDS," she says. Jean Niedringhaus, 52, Administrator of Columbine Care West nursing home facility, regularly puts in 12-hour days and has done so most of her career. "My family worked around my schedule, especially nights- so I could never have done it without them," the energetic former R.N. says. She says Columbine tries to run a "class act" and talks with a sense of mission. "People (children , legislature, or society at large) don't understand what the elderly need. Upset with the typical "nursing home" image, she strives hard to avoid it. "I care about making these people happy, and I spend a lot of time with them doing it. They deserve more. " She and husband Dave, an accountant at CSU, came to Fort Collins the day they were married - 30 years ago. She wants to be remembered for "having made a difference in our treatment of the elderly." That's a look at some of Fort Collins most outstanding professional women . Style thanks them for taking time out of their busy schedules to talk with us. They gave us a little personal insight into their lives and how they cope with a fast paced world in which demands of family, work, recreation must be brought into balance.

You may have a computer at home or work, and may feel that you know how to use it to its fullest capabilities . But do you know how to get the most out of your vision while using your computer? Your computer experience will be more comfortable and easier on your eyes if you follow these tips: • Take a three minute break every thirty minutes and do something less demanding on your eyes. • Use indirect lighting . Proper lighting is important to minimize eye fatigue. • Minimize reflective glare on the computer screen by keeping it away from windows and other sources of bright light. • Use an adjustable chair

so that you can sit at the proper angle and distance from your screen, approximately fourteen to twenty inches from your eyes and just below eye level. â&#x20AC;˘ Select computer equipment with a detachable keyboard, a screen that swivels or tilts, and a screen with contrast and brightness controls . â&#x20AC;˘ Use an adjustable copy holder to place your reference material within the same viewing distance as your computer screen. This prevents you from making large head and eye movements that may cause fatigue. One of the best things you can do to make your computer experience less demanding on your eyes is to make sure that your eyes and vision are carefully evaluated with a complete vision analysis. Certain vision conditions make using a computer more difficult. Many computer-related vision problems can progress with time and affect your good vision without proper care. However, most of these conditions can be treated. If you find you are experiencing symptoms related to the demands of a computer, please contact your vision care specialist.

Dry Skin In Colorado Dryness results from many things that remove water from the skin. Our dry climate, skin care products, and bathing habits are the biggest offenders. Cold , wind, hot sun, and low humidity all dry out the skin. Although many people complain of dryness only in the winter, dry skin during the Colorado summer is common. Chlorine in swimming pools may also contribute to the problem. Lying in the hot sun causes loss of water through evaporation . Use moisturizers often to avoid these problems. Products you use for your face may actually make it drier. Astringents and alcohol found in clarifying lotions, fresheners, aftershaves, and splash-on fragrances are drying agents. Scrubbing brushes and granular soaps can hurt the face, as well. Soaps and cleansers can be harsh and are often overused. Use care in selecting products that limit drying agents. Controlling dry skin on the body is best ach ieved by limiting soap only to necessary areas , such as underarms , groin, and feet. Facial skin should be cleansed only once or twice daily. Soaps should bemild, with moisturizers added made for sensitive skin. Some people may need to eliminate soap and cleansers

from the face entirely, using water only. Whether after a bath or after simple cleansing, always apply a moisturizer to damp skin. This will trap water in the skin. At bedtime, use thicker ointments such as petroleum jelly or a heavy cream. Adding a humidifier to your home furnace, or placing small humidifier units in the rooms in which you spend the most time will also help. The higher moisture content of the air slows evaporation of water from the skin. Remembering proper and consist~nt care of your skin will reduce or eliminate most of your dry skin problems. If problems continue , contact a dermatologist for more in depth analysis. B. Lynn West, M.D.

Starting Your Own Business What a great idea, you have decided that you want to start your own business. Whether it be retail or service, this is a big step for anyone to take - lots of stress, lots of questions and lots of risk. There are, however, many positive reasons to have your own business: everything you make is yours and you make the decisions. If you believe in yourself and your ability to make it work, then go for it! You can have a lot of fun doing what you love. The first thing anyone needs to do when starting their own business is to learn your abilities and how to market yourself. Put your skills and your experiences in a neat package and make potential clients aware of them. This means letting others in on all the good things you know about yourself, having a positive attitude and a good selfimage, and having goals to work toward so you are focused and sure of yourself. So, how do you market yourself? Get involved in organizations, teach a class, do speaking in your field, or do volunteer work. Meet someone new every week. Remember, everyone you come in contact with is a potential client. Another important step is having set goals. Decide what direction you want to go with your business, what you want to accomplish, and set a specific date by which you wish to have it accomplished. Make sure when you set your goals that you include business, personal and family- you must keep your life in balance. Make sure you take time for yourself and your family because they are more important than making money. In this day and age we often find it hard to get good service - show your clients and customers you are the exception . For each job you face or challenge you take on , you

must give 100% of your best self in order to complete it in a professional manner. Most important you must love what you do- that love will show in the way you market yourself, the way you communicate with others and the way you do your job. Lorri McGregor, LDM Enterprises

Selling Your Home Selling a home can be scary, but if you follow these steps, many of the problems can be avoided. • Establish a partnership with a realtor. As a homeowner you play a very important part in the timely sale of your property, but your realtor will be the provider of qualified buyers. • Plan your selling strategy with your realtor. You only have one chance for a first impression . Carpets, windows , bathrooms, kitchens and garages must be clean. Now is time to clear the basement with a garage sale. Be sure light bulbs are bright and all working. If you invest a few hours early, it will pay dividends in the sale. Don't forget a well-manicured yard and fresh paint on the front door. • Pricing is a critical step: 1. Have you made up your mind how much you want for your home? Or are you willing to accept your realtor's Market Analysis? He has accurate comparables from every possible source. 2. Are you willing to assist with financing if necessary? 3. Is a rapid sale essential? If so , overpricing could stop some qualified buyers from even looking at it. The first 3 weeks a home is on the market are the most important. • Set the mood to best show your home. If your home looks crowded , prospective buyers will think it's too crowded. Your realtor may suggest storage for some of your items -don't be offended. Be ready to show the h~me at any time , be understanding of dnvebys and quick showings. Put all valuable jewelry away. Involve your family in making beds, cleaning the kitchen and straightening bathrooms each morning. Open all blinds and drapes - light, bright and airy is the look for the 90's. If you have a showing at night, have all the lights on. Based on recent figures from the Fort Collins Board of Realtors, homes priced from $115,000 to $129,999 average 80 days on the market. A fulltime realtor will do the best job selling in the shortest amount of time since he is active in the market and knows everyday financing, what is on the market and what has sold. Preparation - Pricing Patience. All go hand in

Tips to Watch in New Home Construction The foundation and framing of a home set the tone for its ultimate quality at completion . Even if you're unfamiliar with. this aspect of home building, don't be afra1d to walk through a home at this stage of c~n struction and examine the workmanship: walls, doorways, and window openings should be plumb and level ; plywood subflooring should be joined smooth_IY: and nailed and glued tightly to the floor JOISts to eliminate squeaks down the road. The overall look and feel of the framing should indicate a good fit. As a home nears completion, the quality of the finish items becomes more visible. Examine things like windows, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. Make sure they match to what you'd expect withing a particular price range of home. When the home is complete, care and attention to detail should be evident throughout the final product. Everything should fit properly and apprear as though it were

done by design. . New home construction is a challengrng task requiring great care throughout the process. If you look carefully, you can help insure that the new home you're building or purchasing has been carefully planned and constructed. Andrea Dunlap Newcastle Homes/ReMax First Assoc.

Couples Choreography "It Takes Two to Tango" Personal partners, marriage, and f~mily are important to the 90's professional woman, but because of numerous pressures from outside, a relationship sometimes becomes stressed. This is where Couples Choreography can be of assistance. Couples Choreography is for committed couples whose relationship has reached an impass in problem identification_or problem resolution . Through a systematic approach central themes for each couple's relationship are developed by sculpting, use of metaphor, and structured fantasies. After attending sessions exploring central themes, individuals within the partnership become aware of the source of unre-

fane Artist...

a leading Colorado professional woman By Sandra Cowan rofessional, efficient, and dedicated describe Jane E. Artist, 35, Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Region VIII, was who appointed by the Reagan administration in 1988. In 1989, President Bush's administration reapppointed her. Her job demands traveling throughout the United States, including Washington D.C. She is a competent woman who enjoys and manages career, home, and family. Jane, headquartered in Denver, represents the six-state region of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming providing liaison with the general public, governors, legislators, Congressional delegation, mayors, and other elected officials. She works with approximately 1500 employees, a $9 billion budget, and supervises 50 people. HHS was created as the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in 1953 by President Dwight Eisenhower, and was redesignated the Department of Health and Human Services in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter's administration with 10 standard regions throughout the United States. Dr. Louis Sullivan currently serves as the Secretary of the Department and advises President Bush on health, welfare, and income security plans, policies and programs of the Federal government.

... women bring a real humanizing effect to the workforce. Jane graduated with distinction from Colorado State University in 1976. She and her husband, Bill, live in Greeley and are the parents of two children, Lacee, 10, and Tyler, 8. Bill is a political and international consultant with Artist and Associates. He lobbies before the General Assembly on various issues, and works with trade councils and international governments interested in doing business in Colorado. Before she became a health educa-

tor, Jane was employed as a health and physical education teacher and coach in Fort Lupton, Colorado. She has been involved in community service, political, and religious organizations, such as United Way, Colorado State University Alumni, Federation of Republican Women, Colorado Fellowship of Legislative Wives, and First United Presbyterian Church of Greeley. "It's delightful for me to work with Health and Human Services because I firmly believe in what President Bush and Secretary Sullivan are doing." Jane agrees with their priority to strengthen the American family. She wants to raise happy, well-adjusted children. She practices her parents' teaching of giving back to the community, respecting people, and being involved. "Probably the hardest personal challenge I face is time management. I have a great affinity for organization. I set my priorities (God, family, profession), and judge every request to find out if it will enhance or detract from my time." "Since I've taken on this job, I realize I can't do it all. I've given up a lot of memberships and organizations that I used to enjoy. When I entertain, sometimes I cater rather than home cook everything." She has a nanny who comes in the morning, cares for the children, and stays until dinner's ready. Time is a precious commodity to her . Valuable moments are spent in the daily commute to Denver with her husband. "It's an uninterrupted hour where we take advantage of the time we have together." Jane feels the professional woman is embarking into an opportune era. "The 90's are probably the most exciting time ever with so many doors being opened to unlimited opportunities. It's a matter of managing the challenges that we now have ... like balancing a family and a career, staying motivated, and handling conflict. These are three big issues that we have to deal with on a professional and personal basis." She admits that these challenges are diffi-

STYLE

cult to handle. "It's something that takes an ongoing daily effort. I don't think you ever get to the point where you've mastered it." Does today's woman have to make a choice between children and career? Jane says that every set of circumstances is different. "It's a constant inner battle for me because I feel strongly about being at home with the children." She stayed home while they were in preschool. There are individual rewards for each position. "I don't know if I'll ever get to the point where I'm great at doing both." Jane doesn't foresee the present male generation having to choose between children and career. "I don't see that happening at our age; maybe in my daughter's generation." She feels fortunate that Bill is in a profession where he can sometimes work at home in the summer and be with the children. "It's been wonderful for his relationship with the children." She hopes that women continue to work both inside and outside the home. "If a mother can be at home while her children are young, that's important. However, women bring a real humanizing effect to the workforce. I'm confident that there are women who can competently handle both professions." Her advice to women who want both careers, is to set priorities and learn to balance. "If your path is diverging from your values, you are on the wrong path. You have to establish your own values for yourself and family." Free time is a rarity, and Jane uses it wisely. Any extra moments are used to do her favorite thing: "spending time with my family. That's precious to me." Her spiritual philosophy of living sparks her motivation to conduct her life in a manner that is pleasing to God and family.

goals are being a credit to the Bush administration and a good spokesperson for Secretary Sullivan. Knowledge of the issues, political and personal skills, and her profession as a health educator were consideration in her appointment. She has been politically involved since 1977 in various roles including Secretary of Weld County Republicans, bonus member, State Central Committee, Reagan/Bush National Delegate, Women for Reagan/ Bush 4th Congressional District Chairman, Country Chairman U.S. Senator Bill Armstrong's Ambassadors, Colorado Federation of Republican Women: State Newfounder's Chairman, Political Chairman, and Board of Directors. In 1986, she was appointed a member of the Colorado General Assembly, House District 48. Jane was recognized as an Outstanding Young Woman of America in 1982 and 1984, is listed in Who's Who Among America's Colleges and Universities, and is a member of several national scholastic honoraries. Jane lives each moment to the fullest and provides an excellent model for young professional women.

FALL GETAWAYS By Judy Mucklow

he hot days give way to cooler nights as FALL is in the air. There is a crisp feel, smell, and presence as the season begins to change. And suddenly the colors of the trees begin to explode in rich golds, bright oranges and brilliant purple reds. Now is the time to consider a wonderful trip through one of the many locations where fall folliage beckons. Nearly everyone thinks of New England fall folliage or Eastern Canada in Montreal or Nova Scotia. Of all the regions in the United States, New England is the smallest, most compact and easiest to travel. Not only are you afforded the luxury of breathtaking scenery, but also a wealth of historical and cultural opportunities. These trips are plentiful and wonderful. They last from six days to two weeks and start from midSeptember to the latter part of October and capture the beauty of nature at its finest. Many of these tours also cover the narrow strip of Atlantic coastal states where our first thirteen colonies gave birth to a new nation and the historical roots of our American way of life. Once you arrive in the New England areas, you have numerous ways to view the beauty of the land. Rental cars offer the option of going at your own pace through well marked and maintained routes. Bus tours are also an inexpensive and a trouble free way to view the colors; they also can cover a larger area in a shorter period of time if your time is limited. Perhaps one of the rustic and pleasurable ways to view New England color, is via a bicycle or motorbike. The distance you travel may not be as expansive as in car or bus, but you can travel back further into some of the forest areas on smaller "wheels." There are a number of bicycle tour companies who provide special amenities as well as the wheels. New fall cruises have also appeared in the New England and Chesapeake Bay areas - another interesting way to view the area. Remember that New England is known also for the wonderfully available fresh seafood , so be sure to try many of the small eateries throughout the region. This is an ideal time to visit Cape Cod and the Islands of Massachusetts since fall is the off-season with lower rates, yet their scenery is enhanced during autumn. Martha's Vineyard is just a ferry ride from Woods Hole or

Hyannis Port, Massachusetts and is rich with old homes, tree-lined streets, wonderful stores, and historical museums. This is a delightful place to bicycle. Other interesting fall tours go to the Pennsylvania Dutch area, Ozarks and the Minnesota Country. Beautiful handcrafted quilts, dolls, and household decorations are available in these areas all bespeaking a simpler era. A very relaxing way to spend a fall vacation . For those of you who can't get away for a longer period of time , remember the hundreds of people who fly into the Denver airport to view our own spectacular Colorado Autumn or visit the Canyonlands of Colorado, Utah and Arizona. They have the right idea. Wonderful opportunities abound for three-day weekend trips to see the beauty of the lands and explore the history of our western regions. Book these tours via bus or train and leave the airfare behind, or get

in your car or RV and see it at your leisure when you know the color is at its peak. Fall is also a great time to visit Mexico with its seasonal low rates until about the 15th of December. Or for the weary, from stressful jobs and a hot summer, pack your bags and get on the trail of Eternal Youth at a European health spa. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans take a cure at a spa once a year, for two weeks or so, and renew themselves for the next 12 months. What a way to refresh yourself ... perhaps these trips really are a "cure" for what ails you. Wherever you go do plan to make reservations somewhat in advance. Many areas do not have an overabundance of accommodations and since the high color periods are short, you need to plan accordingly. There are oustanding places to visitthroughout our country and the world. Take off for a fascinating fall frolic .... and have fun!

We're the hometown travel agent that can help you when you're miles away from home.

EGAD! JfT LAG! By Phil Walker his article is not about getting on a plane in Denver and flying to Los Angeles where you gain an hour, forget to reset your watch and spend the next few days subtracting one hour every time you look to see what time it is.For most people, this does not really qualify as jet lag. What this article IS about is when you get on the 9 p.m. flight from Denver, fly for seven hours, and then get off in London where it's sometime tomorrow ... you're a mess, feel terrible, disoriented and day and night is all upside down. That's jet lag! If you are one of the fortunate few who can just reset your watch and continue to march as if nothing had happened, more power to you. For the rest of us, jet lag is real. And it can be more than just a nuisance when you fly internationally. It can start your vacation or business trip off on a very wrong foot and cause you to drag around for days feeling tired and miserable. Since you have probably been planning your trip abroad for some time and are likely on a schedule, wasting the first few days of your trip because of jet lag is something to be avoided . And it can be avoided. Or at least minimized. There are a number of things you can do to make it easier on yourself. All the experts tell us that the human body operates on its own inter-

... you're a mess, feel terrible, disoriented and day and night is all upside down. That's jet lag! nal clock. If you throw the schedule out of whack, there will be an effect. After all, modern society aside, we are still basically animals. Most physicians will tell you to avoid depressants, especially alcohol. This goes for the time before you leave as well as while you are in transit. They will also tell you to try and keep as much

of your regular routine intact as possible. Something along the order of the old adage, "You can't soar with the eagles all day, if you are going to hoot with the owls all night." Business flyers who make trips overseas all the time agree. Ray Hoglund, president of ESAB in Fort Collins makes about five trips a year to Europe. He says that he avoids drinking any alcohol for several days before a trip. Debra Benton, of Benton Management Resources, travels 80% of the time, drinks lots of water and even takes her own bottle of water on flights. Both Ms. Benton and Mr. Hoglund are big believers in trying to sleep on an International flight. They use inflatable neck supports to keep their heads from flopping back and forth on the plane and make it easier to sleep. Dave Penney, of Hewlett-Packard, takes just the opposite view. He doesn't sleep at all on the plane and tries to stay awake through his first day overseas until it's night and time to go to bed. In any case, everyone we talked to said that flying from west to east was a lot harder than east to west and they all said that they try to fly business class whenever they can since the seats are a little larger and there is less movement among passengers.

Ms. Benton finds that being courteous and thoughtful to flight attendants is vital to a comfortable trip. They are more willing to assist you if you show compassion for their work, and that can help you avoid jet lag. For extended trips, she wears more casual slack outfits and takes along a pair of warm socks for her feet. She also usually brings some of her own food for snacking on the plane rather than the heavy airplane foods . When she arrives in a new city, the first thing she does is get some exercise - either a swim or a walk. Last year, my wife and I made a trip to Europe. The actual travel time from Denver to Paris, including changing planes in New York was about 14 hours. But we went through 9 time zones so the elapsed time was 23 hours. Here's how we handled the change and avoided most of the jet lag effect. First, we considered the two hour time difference between Denver and New York a write-off. I reset my watch to New York time BEFORE we left Denver. It's a long flight to New York anyway and all the way across the country I was looking at my watch in terms of east coast time. So when we got there, I was mentally convi need that it had taken all day long. That absorbed the first two hours of jet lag. We looked at the nearly eight hour flight to Paris as an all-night journey. I strongly recommend that you take overnight flights to Europe. When we got on the plane, several things didn't happen . No, I didn't want a drink. No, I didn't want to see the movie. No, I didn't want to be bothered by dinner. What we did was to whip out our travel bag and get our sleeping mask and ear plugs, which I had bought back in Fort Collins. Then we reset our watch for Paris time, took a sleeping pill and snoozed away the eight hour flight. It wasn 't a great night's sleep, since you are sitting up, but the mask cuts out the lights and the movement of people and

Lydia's Style Magazine

the ear plugs blot out 90% of the noise. So we slept fairly well. As we were getting ready to land in Paris, I woke up, went to the restroom and did as many of the normal things that you do when you get up everyday. I shaved, washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, put on a clean shirt and had breakfast. When the plane landed in Paris, it was about 8 a.m. I knew this was so because that's what my watch said-the same watch that I had reset for Paris time back in NewYork5,000 miles ago. I was a little groggy, but I told myself that this was all normal for having to sleep sitting up all night. VIOLA'! My body is telling me something has happened. But my brain is telling me that it was all just a minor inconvenience. After all, what do you expect when you travel for an entire day? But it WASN'T an entire day. Remember that the travel time was only 14 hours, but that 23 hours would have elapsed by the clock because of the time change. I conned myself into believing that an entire day HAD passed . It must have. It took all day to fly to New York ... right? It took all night to fly to Paris ... right? My watch told me so . And here it was early in the morning in Paris, so there you are. I went ahead, took the train to town, checked into my hotel and took off to see the sights. Admittedly, I had preplanned for that first day to be a light one, and sure enough I was getting a little tired by late afternoon. But it didn't seem so unusual. I never once let myself think that 4 p.m. in Paris was really 8 a.m. in Fort Collins and that I had just gone through a total of 31 hours of constant movement and travel with only a few hours sleep on a bouncy airplane. So the con job I did on myself was complete. I went to bed early, slept soundly for 14 hours and by the next morning I was ready to be Super-Tourist. Jet lag is real. It can derail a vacation or business trip. You can't ignore it. If you do, you might end up dragging around for days getting over it. However, with a little pre-planning and a positive state-of-mind, you can wipe out the effects of jet lag nearly completely and have a very successful trip.

JOANN KESLER "I enjoy wearing simple clothes that enhance my figure to a slim look. /like no-frill, conservative clothes, but with elegant, long-lasting fashion at1d style." By Sandra Cowan

hades of blue and red are favorite colors in comfortable suits, skirts, blouses, and long culottes for JoAnn Kesler, active local volunteer, Colorado Mother of the Year, and wife of Dr. Kelvin Kesler. Born in 1934, JoAnn was raised by work-ethic parents in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado and graduated from St. Josephs School as a registered nurse in 1956. She met her husband, Kelly, during surgical rotation at St. Josephs School. "I caught his eye over the surgical mask," she chuckles. They were married after he graduated from the University of Colorado in 1957. A stint with the U.S. Navy sent them from the east to the west coasts of the U.S. During this time, JoAnn worked in the pediatric department at Barrows Neurological Institute Clinic, volunteered, and had two children Tom and Jeff. In 1970 JoAnn and Kelly moved to Fort Collins and opened one of the first medical specialty practices. She has helped decorate both of Kelly's office locations. "His career is ours; it is not a divided effort, but both of our efforts." While raising their daughter Kelly Jo, born in 1974, JoAnn was active volunteering throughout the community. In 1978, Father Ostertag of St. Lukes Episcopal Church, asked JoAnn to be a Senior Mom sharing experiences about raising children. She accepted the responsibility and has been involved for the last 12 years. The "Young Moms" are an extension of the American Mothers Inc. of Colorado. The purpose and goal is to strengthen the moral and spiritual foundation of the family and the home. The Young Moms and Senior Moms support each other with information that enables them to raise the future generations. JoAnn has been

the Young Mom's coordinator for the last 3 years. JoAnn also, over the years, has volunteered to care for mastectomy patients. The tables turned in 1977 and 1985 when she was faced with her own mastectomies. "You reevaluate everything." Despite the fact that her husband was a physician, a fear did prevail while going through the experience. "I was the first person in the medical community who was threatened in this manner. It was tough for my husband too. " As she looks back at those experiences, JoAnn says she ultimately gained something valuable- a closeness with her husband. "It draws you closer or further apart. Sometimes there is a drawing away from each other in fear. You must find someone who has gone through surgery successfully and talk with them first. And be as open with your husband as you can.Sometimes it takes awhile to open up. Once the fears are shared, you can come together." What is the Keslers' secret of 33 years of marriage? Neither JoAnn or Kelly considered anything else. "You ask if certain things are options. The family was first for us. We had little social life when the children were in school because the only time he had was on weekends, and that was our family time." Her involvement with other families extends to Catholic charities, teaching, hospice, and other family issues involving being a good mother. JoAnn's caring, sharing, helping, and her strong family beliefs led her to be chosen "Colorado Mother of the Year." She was described as: caring, gifted, and an intelligent leader. She gives

confidence to motherhood, is an inspiration to young families, and enriches lives by instilling values, morality, and faith. Being Mother of the Year brings great responsibilities of travel, and time commitments working, but her family always comes first. "Children are our greatest natural resource. We need to put our attention into saving the children. They are our future. Invest time with your children. Time is so fleeting." Her family members are involved in the giving and helping professions. Tom (30) is a psychologist. Jeff (26) is getting his Ph.D. in clinical pyschology. Kelly Jo (16) talks about being a teacher or doctor. "We are happy being givers." During her free personal time, JoAnn enjoys people, reading, writing. For the last eight years she has raised and trained beautiful Standard Poodles. Nick is 8 and Brie is 3. "If you believe in yourself, you can motivate and foster this in another woman. I believe strongly in God and his help." One postive statement can wipe out many negative statements. "Let your own family be your cause. You will feel positive if you do everything you can to raise your children." Style is proud to feature JoAnn Kesler as Model Mother of the Month.
