The slumping economy has been hard on small businesses in Old Town like the Repeat Boutique, which formerly occupied 239 Linden St.
After the old clothing store left the building last year, the storefront was an empty one, that is, until Nov. 15, when a coalition of bohemian artists set up shop in the building through a relationship with another group of seemingly unlikely allies –– realty companies.
Dawn Putney and her husband Tom Campbell founded the venue, which they are calling the “Art Lab.” They got the idea for it from seeing paintings hung up in empty buildings on a recent trip to New York City.
Working from that idea, the couple fostered relationships with local realtors to fill properties that were lying stagnant as a result of the economic downturn. Their idea was to use the properties as backdrops for the artists to pursue their creativity.
The building owners benefit as the art drives foot traffic to their shops for art events. Also, the shops are taken care of for free –– all the artists in the co-op have to do is either pitch in for the utility bills or help clean up the space.
“Our goal is that everyone who uses the space leaves it in better shape than they found it,” Putney said.
*A variety of tastes*
At the beginning of Tomas Herrera’s acting workshop at Art Lab, each actor collapses onto the floor in a relaxed heap. It’s an exercise to promote body awareness, which will become controlled movement.
To the little girls who skip by outside and stop in front of the window, it just looks strange, but they quickly resume skittering down the sidewalk.
Herrera, who teaches with OpenStage Theater Company, a Fort Collins theater enterprise dedicated to local productions, is one of many artists who occupy the Art Lab, which moves from place to place in the city.
The democratically controlled venture is comprised of painters, musicians, dancers and other artists, and works throughout downtown in empty stores, staging concerts and workshops.
But the lab likely wouldn’t exist without the vacant space.
Herrera said the realty companies negotiate empty space with property owners, and the Art Lab moves around accordingly.
When Putney and Campbell started the project in August, the venue was in a building on Mountain Avenue.
“… it’s a traveling space,” Herrera said.
Though the lab is a moving target for audiences, it’s been successful as a small, multi-purpose venue.
The once-empty windows at the co-op now display a parade of attractions: a harpist, a group of intense Brazilian drummers or a ballerina in mid-pirouette.
The atmosphere was especially bright and crowded last Friday, when the lab hosted an exhibition of paintings by Barbara Leyendecker for the monthly “Gallery Walk” in Old Town. Leyendecker, a veteran Fort Collins artist, said the Art Lab was a long time coming.
“They did a couple of things over on Mountain Avenue, and it was absolutely fascinating to see them bring people in off the street,” she said. “One guy who was higher than a kite was playing gorgeous piano. It just gave these kids and people, well, a home to go to.”
The exhibition was accompanied by a concert that was typical of the co-op’s mission to catch art that would normally fall through the cracks.
The Kinard Middle School House Band is made up of kids who don’t fit into normal band or orchestra. They’re part of a larger effort to expand a rock music curriculum across the Poudre School district. Because they’re of middle-school age, and can’t play in bars, they tend to take gigs where they can find them.
“They performed as the first intermission act at the Colorado Eagles Game,” said Suma Thomas, one of their organizers. “We rented a flatbed truck … and we pulled them out onto the ice, and they performed their Lynyrd Skynyrd medley.”
The show on Friday was their first gig in Old Town. They played two 45-minute sets, ripping through the closing medley from the Beatles’ “Abbey Road.”
*
Strengthening art and business ties*
At first, bohemian artists, real estate companies and downtown businesses might seem like strange partners. But the artistic happenings draw people downtown to shop or to look at properties who wouldn’t otherwise, so everyone benefits.
“You can see all the pizza boxes out there,” Campbell said. “Talk to Cozzola’s about the intersection between art and commerce.”
Putney said that when artists find out that the space is donated and that “nobody’s trying to get rich” off the space, they are enthusiastic about the situation, but there have been misunderstandings with artists in the past.
“We own a marketing firm, and we meet so many creatives who are in that conflict,” she said. “They don’t want to sell out to the man, but they really need to make a living. We keep hearing the starving artist mentality. … There’s no reason that creatives can’t make a living doing what they’re doing.”
*Expanding initiatives*
The co-op isn’t only about performance space. Putney and Campbell have in mind a kind of survival boot camp for Colorado artists.
“This is phase one of Art Lab,” Putney said. “We’re really hoping to start doing some training and some classes to help artists run their businesses as businesses.”
In view of this goal, Art Lab is hoping to hold workshops in marketing, Web site design and business for all kinds of creative pursuits.
Herrera, the acting teacher with OpenStage Theater, said Fort Collins isn’t an ideal environment for artists, but the Art Lab offers a mechanism to improve it.
“I grew up here. I always knew I wanted to be in the performing arts. Everyone leaves … because you can’t really have a career here.
“My secret hope is that artists could start to make careers here. … People go to work, watch TV and consume information that is all produced on this global scale, rather than seeing creative stuff that’s going on in their own communities and letting that inform them about the world they’re living in.”
Art Lab also teaches craft, with classes in everything from comedy and painting to modern dance. Many of the instructors would have a hard time teaching without the co-op.
“My thing is that I don’t turn any child away,” said Heather Zoccali, the founder of Motif Movement Dance Center. “What would I do without the Art Lab?” she asked. “I still wouldn’t turn a kid away, but I’d probably be working for free.”

[__article_copy] => CSU Director of Athletics Paul Kowalczyk has signed a five-year contract extension worth almost $1.13 million, university officials announced Monday.
The extension takes effect July 1 and ends June 30, 2015. Kowalczyk will not receive a pay raise to his annual $225,000 base salary.
“We are very pleased Paul has agreed to lead Colorado State athletics for at least another five years,” said CSU President Tony Frank in a press release.
“Paul has accomplished a great deal as AD, and he has clearly proven you can win with class, while focusing foremost on educating student-athletes. He’s a person of character and integrity who represents Ram athletics well on campus, as well as nationally and within the conference.”
Hired in April 2006, Kowalczyk has improved the culture surrounding CSU athletics, Athletic leaders said, starting with the coaching hires in three of the program’s higher profile sports –– Tim Miles for men’s basketball, Steve Fairchild for football and Kristen Holt for women’s basketball.
He also helped convince volleyball coach Tom Hilbert to remain at CSU a year ago after CU-Boulder offered him a job, retaining the most successful coach in CSU volleyball history.
Under Kowalczyk’s leadership, CSU opened two state-of-the-art athletics facilities during the summer of 2009, marking the most extensive athletics facilities campaign at CSU in four decades. The facilities include the 66,267-sqaure-foot Indoor Practice Facility and the new Academic and Training Center.
Kowalczyk attributes the success of his first four years to the people he works with.
“The bottom line is people. We have really good support from the board and the president and donors in the community,” Kowalczyk told the _Collegian_.
But the accomplishment he’s most proud of thus far?
“Making it through these first four years,” he joked. “But really there are two: changing the culture of the university’s athletic program and putting together a coaching staff I believe will result in an extremely successful and special program.”
Kowalczyk has ambitious goals for the athletic department including a No. 1 ranking in the Director’s Cup, a ranking system that reflects overall program success; an annual Bowl Champion Series appearance by the football team and regular NCAA Tournament participation by both the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
“If those aren’t your goals as an athletic program, then I shouldn’t be working,” he said.
Kowalczyk said the most important part of building a first-class athletics program is ensuring the athletes succeed in the classroom.
“We have high expectations of success, including the academic success of our student-athletes,” Kowalczyk said. “We are proud of the achievements of our student-athletes in athletic competition and in the classroom and believe these experiences will prepare them well to be successful in life well beyond their time at CSU.”

[__article_copy] => The CSU community is encouraged to come together tonight at a candlelight vigil to share stories in celebration of the life of CSU mechanical engineering student Devon Arnold, whose body was found on a set of train tracks east of Denver last Thursday morning.
The memorial service, which starts near the Administration Building on CSU’s Oval at 6:20 p.m. and proceeds to the Lory Student Center East Ballroom at 7 p.m., serves to commemorate the Alpha Tau Omega member’s life and time in the CSU community, fraternity leaders said.
He wasn’t just an engineer; he wasn’t just a student at CSU,” said ATO President Mark Johlgren. “He was an embodiment of someone who is a gentleman, who was involved at CSU.”
The ATO fraternity and Arnold’s roommates will join the CSU community at the memorial to share their memories of the 22-year-old student ATO Executive Director Wynn Smiley described as a “really smart guy, one of those guys who stands out.”
“He was a very popular man,” Johlgren said of Arnold and his connection to those in the university community. The memorial will bring together stories from different walks of life Arnold had a connection with, he said.
Arnold’s family will attend the service, ATO Fraternity Graduate Adviser Emily Ambrose said.
Guest books will be available at the entrance of the ballroom for people to write down their memories. These will later be given to Arnold’s family, Johlgren said.
Arnold’s body was found by a Burlington Northern Railroad engineer on a set of train tracks two miles east of Keenesburg.
Authorities are speculating that Arnold might have gotten onto a train car intoxicated and ridden it to where his body was found, said Margie Martinez, spokesperson for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office said. No conclusions have been made, however, because there are no witnesses to his death at this time.
And no toxicology report has been completed, Martinez said, so it is unclear whether Arnold was intoxicated while riding the train.
He was, however, reported drinking and asked to leave the Nuggets game he attended at the Pepsi Center Wednesday night.
Members of the ATO fraternity, who Arnold had attended a Nuggets game with, reported Arnold missing to Denver police Wednesday night.
Weld County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of interviewing these fraternity members, Martinez said.

[__article_copy] => Nancy Hartley can be described as both the forest and the trees, said David MacPhee, her long-time colleague and professor of human development and family studies.
Hartley, who is returning from a 10-year retirement to fill the position of dean of the College of Applied Human Sciences, understands how the departments within the college operate, the big picture and the importance of fundraising –– the smaller details –– he said.
After coming to CSU in 1988, Hartley worked in the School of Education and later advanced to dean of the college, which she held for 10 years. April Mason later took the post in 2004, at which point Hartley retired from CSU.
Hartley will come out of retirement to take over as interim dean on Feb. 15 after Mason accepted a job as provost and executive vice president at Kansas State University.
CSU Spokesperson Dell Rae Moellenberg said Hartley will likely serve as interim dean for a year while a committee conducts a national search for and hires a permanent dean.
She said the university has not set an official timeframe for hiring, however.
“Many people called asking if I could come back,” she said. “I loved my job. I loved the college.”
The extensive budget cuts looming over the college, Hartley said, will not be the first she’s dealt with, but said she intends to work hard to ensure the deficits don’t impact students.
“(The previous cuts) didn’t involve as much belt tightening as this one,” MacPhee said, adding that he is sure Hartley has enough previous experience to handle the fiscal restrictions.
During her retirement, Hartley said she continued to be involved in both the university and Fort Collins communities, serving on the Board of Trustees for the Poudre Valley Health System and working on committees for the Poudre Valley School District.
And she continued to work with leaders from the College of Applied Human Sciences throughout her retirement.
Described by MacPhee as an “open and direct leader,” Hartley said she plans to keep an open dialog with the student leadership for the College of Applied Human Sciences, “(They) will be a liaison to the students.”

[__article_copy] => Devon Arnold, a 22-year-old CSU mechanical engineering student, was found dead along a set of train tracks east of Denver 10 a.m. Thursday. Arnold was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
He was reported missing to the Denver Police Department on Feb. 3, said Maggie Martinez, a spokesperson for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office. He was discovered after an engineer from Burlington Northern Railroad phoned police to report a body on the tracks.
The body was found two miles east of Keenesburg in a remote area that Martinez said was far from any populated areas.
Arnold, who enrolled at CSU in 2006, disappeared Wednesday night while he was attending a Nuggets basketball game at the Pepsi Center with about 10 to 12 other ATO members, ATO's Executive Director Wynn Smiley said.
After searching for him, his fellow ATO members called Denver police to report him missing.
Arnold was a "really smart guy, one of those guys who stands out," Smiley said, adding that he was involved in several organizations and "well known."
Agreeing that Arnold's death is a loss to both the Greek and CSU communities, Smile said, "The guys in the chapter are stunned and very sad, and there are students on campus who share those same feelings because he was so involved."
When asked if there would be a memorial service for Arnold, Smiley said there is "a high likely hood" that there woud be one held for the campus.
Other CSU organizations on campus and various sororities have reached out to ATO since the incident, Smiley said, adding that members of the fraternity have received enough meals from the university community to last them through Tuesday.
"The chapter is very appreciative of the campus outreach," he said.
Following news of his death, CSU issued the following statement:
"Devon's death is a tragic event that saddens many in the university community," said spokesperson Dell Rae Moellenberg in an e-mail to the Collegian. "We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends for their loss."
While it is not definitive yet, Student Affairs is talking with Arnold's family to determine if a service will be held at CSU, Moellenberg said.

[__article_copy] => With the number of medical marijuana dispensaries on the rise in the city and throughout the state, more people have become interested in this booming industry.
And dispensaries and paraphernalia shops in Fort Collins are experiencing increased business as a result.
When Dave Beiderman, an employee at the paraphernalia shop Kind Creations on College Avenue was asked if he noticed more interest in the store within the last few months he said, “Hell yeah, ridiculously,” adding, “They should just legalize it (marijuana).”
He and others in the shop agreed that sales have skyrocketed following the dispensary boom.
In Denver, there are more marijuana dispensaries then there are Starbucks `–– more than 300, according to a CBS4 Denver article.
CSU sophomore Stephen Fox obtained a medical marijuana card last Thursday and admitted that getting the card was relatively easy.
“I haven’t used it yet,” Fox said, laughing, as he browsed a paraphernalia shop on South College Avenue.
Legalizing marijuana completely is not in the works just yet for Colorado legislators; however, they are talking about taking a step back.
A new piece of legislation introduced by the Colorado Senate on Monday calls for a ban on having doctors on staff inside of medical marijuana dispensaries. With this proposal, legislators are hoping that this will help sift out recreational pot users from those who are actually utilizing it for medical needs.
Sam Leuschen, an employee at a medical marijuana dispensary at City Park Avenue and Elizabeth Street, said that if passed, the new legislation “won’t really affect us right now since we don’t have a doctor on site.”
Leuschen said that he doesn’t see a problem with having a doctor on staff giving referrals because “that’s what this whole business is about.”
While Leuschen said that the shop was in the process of getting an on-site doctor, the new legislation could potentially prevent them from growing as a business.
Abundant Healing, located on Linden Street, offers far more than just medical marijuana.
Joey Simental, a registered caregiver at the 1-month-old facility, said that they aren’t worried about the new legislation affecting business because they don’t have a doctor on staff as it is.
Abundant Healing, which offers a tranquil atmosphere, a fresh vibe offset by earth tone colors and a welcoming staff, strives to make their clients feel comfortable. Through this, they offer pot brownies, lollilpops and cookies, acupuncture, hot rock massages, an on-staff nutritionist and a chiropractor.
Simental, who has a finance and law background, said that they really did their research before establishing their business.
“We want to do more than sell it (marijuana), we really want to educate too.”
As for marijuana, they offer a variety from Blue Dream and Mountain Jam to Island Sweet Skunk and Sour Diesel, each giving the client a different and unique high.
After sharing examples of some of the conditions his clients have –– migraines and fibromyalgia –– Simental said that the humanistic aspect of his business has really changed him as a person.
As for the future, with only the Senate having voted on the recent legislation, the world of medical marijuana will now have to wait for the House to make its decision.

The CSU Rams football team announced their official 2010 recruiting class Wednesday, a group of 28 players that head coach Steve Fairchild said he is proud of. The third-year CSU coach thanked everyone who makes up the University for playing a role in helping to sign his new recruits.
“You don’t get a class like this without tremendous support from the university, not only within the Athletic Department, but students, staff and faculty,” Fairchild said. “It was a tremendous effort and we’re very lucky to have the product we have to sell.”
Along with highly anticipated quarterback Pete Thomas, the Rams received official letters of intent from Tony Drake, a highly recruited running back from Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas and Garrett Grayson, a top-ranked dual-threat quarterback from Heritage High School in Washington.
The 2010 class of recruits consists of 13 defensive players and 15 offensive players, including four offensive linemen, a position the Rams needed to refill after losing four linemen to graduation last season.
Fairchild acknowledged the holes in the Rams offensive line, but said he wasn’t focusing on any specific position when he created this commitment class.
“It’s never whether you address a certain position,” he said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon. “What we would like to do is address all 22 positions in every class and keep a steady flow of talent coming up through our program.”
CSU went all over the map to sign this year’s recruiting class, gaining 11 commitments from Florida recruits, eight from Texas, three from California, three from Colorado, two from Washington and one recruit from Oklahoma.
Fairchild gave credit to his coaching staff for working hard to find the best players they could and getting them to come to CSU.
“This is obviously a multi-year task,” he said. “Our guys were impressive and were able to secure this group of signees.”
The Rams coaches aren’t the only one’s giving credit to the current recruiting class. Rivals.com ranked CSU’s class fourth in the Mountain West, behind conference powerhouses BYU, TCU and Utah. The Rams rank 59th nationally, seven spots ahead of rival CU-Boulder and 31 spots ahead of Wyoming.
Although he said he fully expects to play more experienced players in the upcoming season, Fairchild explained he wouldn’t be surprised if some of his new recruits see some significant playing time.
“I think our staff and I always talk about, if a guy can help us win, we are going to play them,” the San Diego native said. “Realistically, you’d like to think you are going to redshirt the entire freshman class. There is still a lot of time between now and August. We’ll just see where it is but I’d anticipate someone will be able to come in and play.”
With the 2010 recruiting class officially in place, Fairchild said that the process of improving the Rams is only beginning, adding that the coaches need to do their job now.
“None of these guys right now are good enough to help us win a Mountain West championship,” he said. “They have to develop, and our coaches have to develop these guys. They need to be a lot better in a year or two and that’s part of the job.”

[__article_copy] => The people of Fort Collins stormed City Hall last night to voice their opinions on the proposed trash districting.
They were heard. Before even half of the crowd gathered in City Hall had a chance to speak, Mayor Doug Hutchinson folded.
“Districting is toast,” he said to mass applause.
Originally proposed in July, the city put out a request for proposals for trash districting. The company that was deemed to be “in best interests of the residents” would be the sole provider of waste pickup for the pilot area.
Districting, the city council argued, would reduce road wear, pollution and the number of trucks on the streets, as well as make the process easier for everyone involved. To opt out of the districting, the homeowner would pay $2.91 to the city and be able to choose their own trash and recycling service.
Waste Management and Gallegos Sanitation, Inc., both submitted bids. In the final bidding, it was revealed that there was only a $3 difference between the lowest bid and Waste Management’s bid.
One cry was to bring business back to Fort Collins. “Shop local. Support local,” was a chant that was raised. Though Waste Management spoke that their “heart is local,” the citizens of Fort Collins maintained that when the base of a company is located in Houston, Texas and they are writing checks to out of state, something’s not right.
At 6 p.m., the sidewalks around 300 LaPorte Avenue were dappled with people on their way to City Hall.
Gray-haired men and women, purposeful suits and stroller-wielding families were all present. Over 400 citizens crowded outside the doors, all braced to hear that they wouldn’t be allowed inside, leaving many outraged at the small size of the venue.
Citizens came welding Democratic and Republican voices into one reverberating message.
“Fort Collins is known as the ‘choice’ city,” one Fort Collins resident said, echoed by many. “Give us that choice.”
Common citizens, business owners, representatives from Gallegos Sanitation and even Waste Management came to discuss the trash districting, many outspoken, some reasonable, all heard.
“What’s next?” many citizens asked. “You’re going to tell me what grocery stores to use? I have to go to Lowes, not Home Depot, because it’s closer?”
The goals of the evening were to hear out everyone who had an opinion to voice. For over three hours, a steady stream of people wove through City Hall, taking their three minutes, some over, to vent their feelings, ask questions, and, in general, give City Council a piece of their minds.
Towards the end of the evening, council member Kelly Ohlson said the thing they all wanted to hear: “I hear you.”
Fort Collins residents can be assured, said Ohlson, that the districting proposal is going to “die a quick, swift permanent death.”

[__article_copy] => Before Valerie Hardcastle entered the world of academia, she was an amateur bodybuilder.
“I still pump iron,” Hardcastle, one of the three final provost candidates, said Thursday sitting in the University Club.
She started lifting when she was 18 and competed in triathlons up until a recent hip injury, but said if you hit the gym early enough you’ll see her there.
“I keep hoping I’ll wait it out and then be able to compete again,” Hardcastle said, adding that her favorite type of music is from another era.
“I’m a big 80’s fan. The Eurythmics, the Talking Heads.”
Hardcastle got her undergraduate degree at Berkley and her Ph.D. at the University of California at San Diego and said her favorite thing about the West that you don’t find in Cincinnati is “big sky, big blue sky.”
As dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati, Hardcastle said, she has a casual outlook on her job and her door is always open to students, faculty and staff. She said she plans to bring that same transparency to CSU if she gets the job.
“You just have to be approachable,” Hardcastle said. “ But, I don’t do Facebook or Twitter. I do a lot of e-mailing.”
If she were hired as the university’s No. 2 leader, Hardcastle would oversee all the academic initiatives on campus, serve on both CSU President Tony Frank’s Cabinet and the Faculty Council and chair the Council of Deans.
Her three core values include:
Faculty, staff and student partnerships,
Collaborating instead of competing, and
Shared governance.
A fellow dean at UC, Elizabeth King, said she has been working closely with Hardcastle for two-and-a-half years and said she would be missed.
“She speaks her mind, she’s assertive and you know where you stand with her at all times,” King said. “You always know her position on controversial issues.”
The Collegian contacted most of the UC’s deans, but only King was available for comment.
Diversifying its resource base and being aware of what revenues the university brings –– and what it doesn’t –– is key for CSU to cope with the challenges of cuts to higher education funding, Hardcastle said in an e-mail previous to her arrival on campus Thursday.
The idea is to “plan very long term,” Hardcastle said, “… and do not be afraid to think like a private institution, even though CSU very clearly isn’t one and shouldn’t be one.”
It is necessary, too, to sell Colorado voters on the idea of higher education, she said, and up until this point, “we in the business of higher education have done an incredibly bad job at convincing people of our fundamental importance.”

Faculty, staff and student partnerships,
Collaborating instead of competing, and
Shared governance.
A fellow dean at UC, Elizabeth King, said she has been working closely with Hardcastle for two-and-a-half years and said she would be missed.
“She speaks her mind, she’s assertive and you know where you stand with her at all times,” King said. “You always know her position on controversial issues.”
The Collegian contacted most of the UC’s deans, but only King was available for comment.
Diversifying its resource base and being aware of what revenues the university brings –– and what it doesn’t –– is key for CSU to cope with the challenges of cuts to higher education funding, Hardcastle said in an e-mail previous to her arrival on campus Thursday.
The idea is to “plan very long term,” Hardcastle said, “… and do not be afraid to think like a private institution, even though CSU very clearly isn’t one and shouldn’t be one.”
It is necessary, too, to sell Colorado voters on the idea of higher education, she said, and up until this point, “we in the business of higher education have done an incredibly bad job at convincing people of our fundamental importance.”

The slumping economy has been hard on small businesses in Old Town like the Repeat Boutique, which formerly occupied 239 Linden St.
After the old clothing store left the building last year, the storefront was an empty one, that is, until Nov. 15, when a coalition of bohemian artists set up shop in the building through a relationship with another group of seemingly unlikely allies –– realty companies.
Dawn Putney and her husband Tom Campbell founded the venue, which they are calling the “Art Lab.” They got the idea for it from seeing paintings hung up in empty buildings on a recent trip to New York City.
Working from that idea, the couple fostered relationships with local realtors to fill properties that were lying stagnant as a result of the economic downturn. Their idea was to use the properties as backdrops for the artists to pursue their creativity.
The building owners benefit as the art drives foot traffic to their shops for art events. Also, the shops are taken care of for free –– all the artists in the co-op have to do is either pitch in for the utility bills or help clean up the space.
“Our goal is that everyone who uses the space leaves it in better shape than they found it,” Putney said.
*A variety of tastes*
At the beginning of Tomas Herrera’s acting workshop at Art Lab, each actor collapses onto the floor in a relaxed heap. It’s an exercise to promote body awareness, which will become controlled movement.
To the little girls who skip by outside and stop in front of the window, it just looks strange, but they quickly resume skittering down the sidewalk.
Herrera, who teaches with OpenStage Theater Company, a Fort Collins theater enterprise dedicated to local productions, is one of many artists who occupy the Art Lab, which moves from place to place in the city.
The democratically controlled venture is comprised of painters, musicians, dancers and other artists, and works throughout downtown in empty stores, staging concerts and workshops.
But the lab likely wouldn’t exist without the vacant space.
Herrera said the realty companies negotiate empty space with property owners, and the Art Lab moves around accordingly.
When Putney and Campbell started the project in August, the venue was in a building on Mountain Avenue.
“… it’s a traveling space,” Herrera said.
Though the lab is a moving target for audiences, it’s been successful as a small, multi-purpose venue.
The once-empty windows at the co-op now display a parade of attractions: a harpist, a group of intense Brazilian drummers or a ballerina in mid-pirouette.
The atmosphere was especially bright and crowded last Friday, when the lab hosted an exhibition of paintings by Barbara Leyendecker for the monthly “Gallery Walk” in Old Town. Leyendecker, a veteran Fort Collins artist, said the Art Lab was a long time coming.
“They did a couple of things over on Mountain Avenue, and it was absolutely fascinating to see them bring people in off the street,” she said. “One guy who was higher than a kite was playing gorgeous piano. It just gave these kids and people, well, a home to go to.”
The exhibition was accompanied by a concert that was typical of the co-op’s mission to catch art that would normally fall through the cracks.
The Kinard Middle School House Band is made up of kids who don’t fit into normal band or orchestra. They’re part of a larger effort to expand a rock music curriculum across the Poudre School district. Because they’re of middle-school age, and can’t play in bars, they tend to take gigs where they can find them.
“They performed as the first intermission act at the Colorado Eagles Game,” said Suma Thomas, one of their organizers. “We rented a flatbed truck … and we pulled them out onto the ice, and they performed their Lynyrd Skynyrd medley.”
The show on Friday was their first gig in Old Town. They played two 45-minute sets, ripping through the closing medley from the Beatles’ “Abbey Road.”
*
Strengthening art and business ties*
At first, bohemian artists, real estate companies and downtown businesses might seem like strange partners. But the artistic happenings draw people downtown to shop or to look at properties who wouldn’t otherwise, so everyone benefits.
“You can see all the pizza boxes out there,” Campbell said. “Talk to Cozzola’s about the intersection between art and commerce.”
Putney said that when artists find out that the space is donated and that “nobody’s trying to get rich” off the space, they are enthusiastic about the situation, but there have been misunderstandings with artists in the past.
“We own a marketing firm, and we meet so many creatives who are in that conflict,” she said. “They don’t want to sell out to the man, but they really need to make a living. We keep hearing the starving artist mentality. … There’s no reason that creatives can’t make a living doing what they’re doing.”
*Expanding initiatives*
The co-op isn’t only about performance space. Putney and Campbell have in mind a kind of survival boot camp for Colorado artists.
“This is phase one of Art Lab,” Putney said. “We’re really hoping to start doing some training and some classes to help artists run their businesses as businesses.”
In view of this goal, Art Lab is hoping to hold workshops in marketing, Web site design and business for all kinds of creative pursuits.
Herrera, the acting teacher with OpenStage Theater, said Fort Collins isn’t an ideal environment for artists, but the Art Lab offers a mechanism to improve it.
“I grew up here. I always knew I wanted to be in the performing arts. Everyone leaves … because you can’t really have a career here.
“My secret hope is that artists could start to make careers here. … People go to work, watch TV and consume information that is all produced on this global scale, rather than seeing creative stuff that’s going on in their own communities and letting that inform them about the world they’re living in.”
Art Lab also teaches craft, with classes in everything from comedy and painting to modern dance. Many of the instructors would have a hard time teaching without the co-op.
“My thing is that I don’t turn any child away,” said Heather Zoccali, the founder of Motif Movement Dance Center. “What would I do without the Art Lab?” she asked. “I still wouldn’t turn a kid away, but I’d probably be working for free.”

At first, bohemian artists, real estate companies and downtown businesses might seem like strange partners. But the artistic happenings draw people downtown to shop or to look at properties who wouldn’t otherwise, so everyone benefits.
“You can see all the pizza boxes out there,” Campbell said. “Talk to Cozzola’s about the intersection between art and commerce.”
Putney said that when artists find out that the space is donated and that “nobody’s trying to get rich” off the space, they are enthusiastic about the situation, but there have been misunderstandings with artists in the past.
“We own a marketing firm, and we meet so many creatives who are in that conflict,” she said. “They don’t want to sell out to the man, but they really need to make a living. We keep hearing the starving artist mentality. … There’s no reason that creatives can’t make a living doing what they’re doing.”
Expanding initiatives
The co-op isn’t only about performance space. Putney and Campbell have in mind a kind of survival boot camp for Colorado artists.
“This is phase one of Art Lab,” Putney said. “We’re really hoping to start doing some training and some classes to help artists run their businesses as businesses.”
In view of this goal, Art Lab is hoping to hold workshops in marketing, Web site design and business for all kinds of creative pursuits.
Herrera, the acting teacher with OpenStage Theater, said Fort Collins isn’t an ideal environment for artists, but the Art Lab offers a mechanism to improve it.
“I grew up here. I always knew I wanted to be in the performing arts. Everyone leaves … because you can’t really have a career here.
“My secret hope is that artists could start to make careers here. … People go to work, watch TV and consume information that is all produced on this global scale, rather than seeing creative stuff that’s going on in their own communities and letting that inform them about the world they’re living in.”
Art Lab also teaches craft, with classes in everything from comedy and painting to modern dance. Many of the instructors would have a hard time teaching without the co-op.
“My thing is that I don’t turn any child away,” said Heather Zoccali, the founder of Motif Movement Dance Center. “What would I do without the Art Lab?” she asked. “I still wouldn’t turn a kid away, but I’d probably be working for free.”

[__article_copy] => CSU Director of Athletics Paul Kowalczyk has signed a five-year contract extension worth almost $1.13 million, university officials announced Monday.
The extension takes effect July 1 and ends June 30, 2015. Kowalczyk will not receive a pay raise to his annual $225,000 base salary.
“We are very pleased Paul has agreed to lead Colorado State athletics for at least another five years,” said CSU President Tony Frank in a press release.
“Paul has accomplished a great deal as AD, and he has clearly proven you can win with class, while focusing foremost on educating student-athletes. He’s a person of character and integrity who represents Ram athletics well on campus, as well as nationally and within the conference.”
Hired in April 2006, Kowalczyk has improved the culture surrounding CSU athletics, Athletic leaders said, starting with the coaching hires in three of the program’s higher profile sports –– Tim Miles for men’s basketball, Steve Fairchild for football and Kristen Holt for women’s basketball.
He also helped convince volleyball coach Tom Hilbert to remain at CSU a year ago after CU-Boulder offered him a job, retaining the most successful coach in CSU volleyball history.
Under Kowalczyk’s leadership, CSU opened two state-of-the-art athletics facilities during the summer of 2009, marking the most extensive athletics facilities campaign at CSU in four decades. The facilities include the 66,267-sqaure-foot Indoor Practice Facility and the new Academic and Training Center.
Kowalczyk attributes the success of his first four years to the people he works with.
“The bottom line is people. We have really good support from the board and the president and donors in the community,” Kowalczyk told the _Collegian_.
But the accomplishment he’s most proud of thus far?
“Making it through these first four years,” he joked. “But really there are two: changing the culture of the university’s athletic program and putting together a coaching staff I believe will result in an extremely successful and special program.”
Kowalczyk has ambitious goals for the athletic department including a No. 1 ranking in the Director’s Cup, a ranking system that reflects overall program success; an annual Bowl Champion Series appearance by the football team and regular NCAA Tournament participation by both the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
“If those aren’t your goals as an athletic program, then I shouldn’t be working,” he said.
Kowalczyk said the most important part of building a first-class athletics program is ensuring the athletes succeed in the classroom.
“We have high expectations of success, including the academic success of our student-athletes,” Kowalczyk said. “We are proud of the achievements of our student-athletes in athletic competition and in the classroom and believe these experiences will prepare them well to be successful in life well beyond their time at CSU.”

[__article_copy] => The CSU community is encouraged to come together tonight at a candlelight vigil to share stories in celebration of the life of CSU mechanical engineering student Devon Arnold, whose body was found on a set of train tracks east of Denver last Thursday morning.
The memorial service, which starts near the Administration Building on CSU’s Oval at 6:20 p.m. and proceeds to the Lory Student Center East Ballroom at 7 p.m., serves to commemorate the Alpha Tau Omega member’s life and time in the CSU community, fraternity leaders said.
He wasn’t just an engineer; he wasn’t just a student at CSU,” said ATO President Mark Johlgren. “He was an embodiment of someone who is a gentleman, who was involved at CSU.”
The ATO fraternity and Arnold’s roommates will join the CSU community at the memorial to share their memories of the 22-year-old student ATO Executive Director Wynn Smiley described as a “really smart guy, one of those guys who stands out.”
“He was a very popular man,” Johlgren said of Arnold and his connection to those in the university community. The memorial will bring together stories from different walks of life Arnold had a connection with, he said.
Arnold’s family will attend the service, ATO Fraternity Graduate Adviser Emily Ambrose said.
Guest books will be available at the entrance of the ballroom for people to write down their memories. These will later be given to Arnold’s family, Johlgren said.
Arnold’s body was found by a Burlington Northern Railroad engineer on a set of train tracks two miles east of Keenesburg.
Authorities are speculating that Arnold might have gotten onto a train car intoxicated and ridden it to where his body was found, said Margie Martinez, spokesperson for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office said. No conclusions have been made, however, because there are no witnesses to his death at this time.
And no toxicology report has been completed, Martinez said, so it is unclear whether Arnold was intoxicated while riding the train.
He was, however, reported drinking and asked to leave the Nuggets game he attended at the Pepsi Center Wednesday night.
Members of the ATO fraternity, who Arnold had attended a Nuggets game with, reported Arnold missing to Denver police Wednesday night.
Weld County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of interviewing these fraternity members, Martinez said.

No conclusions have been made, however, because there are no witnesses to his death at this time.
And no toxicology report has been completed, Martinez said, so it is unclear whether Arnold was intoxicated while riding the train.
He was, however, reported drinking and asked to leave the Nuggets game he attended at the Pepsi Center Wednesday night.
Members of the ATO fraternity, who Arnold had attended a Nuggets game with, reported Arnold missing to Denver police Wednesday night.
Weld County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of interviewing these fraternity members, Martinez said.

[__article_copy] => Nancy Hartley can be described as both the forest and the trees, said David MacPhee, her long-time colleague and professor of human development and family studies.
Hartley, who is returning from a 10-year retirement to fill the position of dean of the College of Applied Human Sciences, understands how the departments within the college operate, the big picture and the importance of fundraising –– the smaller details –– he said.
After coming to CSU in 1988, Hartley worked in the School of Education and later advanced to dean of the college, which she held for 10 years. April Mason later took the post in 2004, at which point Hartley retired from CSU.
Hartley will come out of retirement to take over as interim dean on Feb. 15 after Mason accepted a job as provost and executive vice president at Kansas State University.
CSU Spokesperson Dell Rae Moellenberg said Hartley will likely serve as interim dean for a year while a committee conducts a national search for and hires a permanent dean.
She said the university has not set an official timeframe for hiring, however.
“Many people called asking if I could come back,” she said. “I loved my job. I loved the college.”
The extensive budget cuts looming over the college, Hartley said, will not be the first she’s dealt with, but said she intends to work hard to ensure the deficits don’t impact students.
“(The previous cuts) didn’t involve as much belt tightening as this one,” MacPhee said, adding that he is sure Hartley has enough previous experience to handle the fiscal restrictions.
During her retirement, Hartley said she continued to be involved in both the university and Fort Collins communities, serving on the Board of Trustees for the Poudre Valley Health System and working on committees for the Poudre Valley School District.
And she continued to work with leaders from the College of Applied Human Sciences throughout her retirement.
Described by MacPhee as an “open and direct leader,” Hartley said she plans to keep an open dialog with the student leadership for the College of Applied Human Sciences, “(They) will be a liaison to the students.”

[__article_copy] => Devon Arnold, a 22-year-old CSU mechanical engineering student, was found dead along a set of train tracks east of Denver 10 a.m. Thursday. Arnold was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
He was reported missing to the Denver Police Department on Feb. 3, said Maggie Martinez, a spokesperson for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office. He was discovered after an engineer from Burlington Northern Railroad phoned police to report a body on the tracks.
The body was found two miles east of Keenesburg in a remote area that Martinez said was far from any populated areas.
Arnold, who enrolled at CSU in 2006, disappeared Wednesday night while he was attending a Nuggets basketball game at the Pepsi Center with about 10 to 12 other ATO members, ATO's Executive Director Wynn Smiley said.
After searching for him, his fellow ATO members called Denver police to report him missing.
Arnold was a "really smart guy, one of those guys who stands out," Smiley said, adding that he was involved in several organizations and "well known."
Agreeing that Arnold's death is a loss to both the Greek and CSU communities, Smile said, "The guys in the chapter are stunned and very sad, and there are students on campus who share those same feelings because he was so involved."
When asked if there would be a memorial service for Arnold, Smiley said there is "a high likely hood" that there woud be one held for the campus.
Other CSU organizations on campus and various sororities have reached out to ATO since the incident, Smiley said, adding that members of the fraternity have received enough meals from the university community to last them through Tuesday.
"The chapter is very appreciative of the campus outreach," he said.
Following news of his death, CSU issued the following statement:
"Devon's death is a tragic event that saddens many in the university community," said spokesperson Dell Rae Moellenberg in an e-mail to the Collegian. "We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends for their loss."
While it is not definitive yet, Student Affairs is talking with Arnold's family to determine if a service will be held at CSU, Moellenberg said.

[__article_copy] => With the number of medical marijuana dispensaries on the rise in the city and throughout the state, more people have become interested in this booming industry.
And dispensaries and paraphernalia shops in Fort Collins are experiencing increased business as a result.
When Dave Beiderman, an employee at the paraphernalia shop Kind Creations on College Avenue was asked if he noticed more interest in the store within the last few months he said, “Hell yeah, ridiculously,” adding, “They should just legalize it (marijuana).”
He and others in the shop agreed that sales have skyrocketed following the dispensary boom.
In Denver, there are more marijuana dispensaries then there are Starbucks `–– more than 300, according to a CBS4 Denver article.
CSU sophomore Stephen Fox obtained a medical marijuana card last Thursday and admitted that getting the card was relatively easy.
“I haven’t used it yet,” Fox said, laughing, as he browsed a paraphernalia shop on South College Avenue.
Legalizing marijuana completely is not in the works just yet for Colorado legislators; however, they are talking about taking a step back.
A new piece of legislation introduced by the Colorado Senate on Monday calls for a ban on having doctors on staff inside of medical marijuana dispensaries. With this proposal, legislators are hoping that this will help sift out recreational pot users from those who are actually utilizing it for medical needs.
Sam Leuschen, an employee at a medical marijuana dispensary at City Park Avenue and Elizabeth Street, said that if passed, the new legislation “won’t really affect us right now since we don’t have a doctor on site.”
Leuschen said that he doesn’t see a problem with having a doctor on staff giving referrals because “that’s what this whole business is about.”
While Leuschen said that the shop was in the process of getting an on-site doctor, the new legislation could potentially prevent them from growing as a business.
Abundant Healing, located on Linden Street, offers far more than just medical marijuana.
Joey Simental, a registered caregiver at the 1-month-old facility, said that they aren’t worried about the new legislation affecting business because they don’t have a doctor on staff as it is.
Abundant Healing, which offers a tranquil atmosphere, a fresh vibe offset by earth tone colors and a welcoming staff, strives to make their clients feel comfortable. Through this, they offer pot brownies, lollilpops and cookies, acupuncture, hot rock massages, an on-staff nutritionist and a chiropractor.
Simental, who has a finance and law background, said that they really did their research before establishing their business.
“We want to do more than sell it (marijuana), we really want to educate too.”
As for marijuana, they offer a variety from Blue Dream and Mountain Jam to Island Sweet Skunk and Sour Diesel, each giving the client a different and unique high.
After sharing examples of some of the conditions his clients have –– migraines and fibromyalgia –– Simental said that the humanistic aspect of his business has really changed him as a person.
As for the future, with only the Senate having voted on the recent legislation, the world of medical marijuana will now have to wait for the House to make its decision.
