Bill Field

If theres a popular logo for a Santa Feorganization thats easily recognizable,chances are that Bill Field designed it. Hisfavorite is the logo for the Santa Fe Childrens

Museum, he said, with the children holdinghands and running around.

One of the reasons Im getting this awardis because Ive done a lot of design pro bonowork here in Santa Fe, Field said. Ivealways felt that design is something that all

businesses and charitable organizations need.Its also one thing I can give them. I cant givethem a lot of money, but I can give them myservices as a designer.

When Bill Field left Santa Feto attendcol-lege andstarthis career, he always knew hewanted to come back to hishometown.

Healsoknew that hewanted togetinvolved with the Spanish Colonial Arts Soci-ety. PreservingSpanish Colonial art runs in

Fields family.His mother, Lois Field, helped revive the

Spanish Colonial Arts Society and start Span-ish Market back in the late 1920s.

When Field moved back to Santa Fe inthe mid-1970s after an 18-year career at thePolaroid Corporation, he immediately gotinvolved. After starting his own company,William Field Design, he got involved in theSpanish Colonial Arts Society.

I just got drafted into doing things for (theSociety) and Spanish Market, Field said.

When I came back, it was run by two peopleand they were getting tired and they wantedsomebody else to do it.

Students in Cindy Coulters Zumba class knowtheyre in for a good time when they enter the gym atFort Marcy Complex.

The spunky fitness instructor with red hair walkedinto the gym last Friday, sporting a pink ZumbaBreast Cancer Awareness shirt and a smile. She lacedup her black sneakers and put on her black sweat-

band before getting everybody started.Hello everybody! she yelled happily to her stu-

dents. She asked if anybody was there for the firsttime, and when two newcomers raised their hands,she teased them about being in the back row. Dontyouknowfirst-timerscometo thefrontrow?Dontworry what foot youre on anddontworry aboutwhat your hands aredoing. Enjoythe music andbreaka sweat those are the onlyrules.

Coulters enthusiasm for Zumba is contagious. TheSanta Fe fitness instructor has been teaching Zumbaclasses for the past two years.

On Friday, Coulter and her seven other Zumbainstructors will host a Party in Pink Zumbathonto benefit Susan G. Komen For the Cure at theGenoveva Chavez Community Center communityroom. Zumbathons have been popular around thecountry for the last few years as fundraisers for chari-ties.

Its a phenomenon, she said of Zumba before her11 a.m. Friday class at Fort Marcy began. Zumba is adance-fitness class that is inspired by Latin dance andmusic.

Coulter was one of hundreds of instructors to beselected to host the Party in Pink Zumbathon, afterapplying through Zumbas corporate offices. Thetwo-hour event will be packed with sizzling dancemoves, upbeat Latin music and laughter if its any-thing like Coulters Friday class.

Love, love, love, I want your love, she sang along

to a Lady Gaga song as her class warmed up by doingshoulder rolls to the beat. Remember, singing isencouraged.

Everyone is welcome to Fridays event and peopledont need any previous Zumba experience undertheir belts to enjoy themselves.

I tell (my students) to have fun, break a sweatand it becomes a party atmosphere, Coulter saidhappily. She tells them to imagine its Saturday nightand youre out with your friends, wearing your hotclothes, your miniskirt that always gets a laugh and your green spandex.

I try and make them forget about what theyredoing and enjoy the time.

One of the great things about Zumba is it isnt likeother traditional exercise and aerobics classes, saidloyal Zumba student Ron Romanovsky.

What I like about it is its good exercise but itdoesnt feel like work, Romanovsky said. My boy-friend tried to get me to go to the gym for years andyears but its just not my thing. It is important to exer-

cise and move around and Zumba is a fun way to doit. And Cindy rocks.
