December 2013

uring this time of year, it is easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and forget to take the time to think about what the holiday season is really about. Pausing, even for a moment, to appreciate your family and friends and the little bits of joy that can pop up in your day when you least expect it.

There are few things more joyful than seeing the holidays through the wonder filled eyes of children. Children, no matter their circumstances, manage to constantly remind us that the holidays are a truly a magical time of year. For the last seven years, patients at Children’s Hospital have had a more magical holiday thanks to the generous contributions of the community and the tireless efforts of Mia Samora, who organizes Harry’s Annual Toy Drive in memory of her son, Harry Samora.

Harry was a good friend of my oldest son, Christopher. I can still

remember the day when my wife called me as Christopher and I were going into King Soopers with the news of Harry’s passing.

Having to explain to a seven year old that he would never be able to see his friend again was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get.

We make a life by what we give.”

Harry’s time on this earth was entirely too brief, but his legacy of joy lives on, year after year, bringing smiles to the faces of those brave little warriors at Children’s Hospital. We should all strive to have as meaningful a life and make as profound a difference in this world as Harry Samora. By honoring Harry’s life and making a contribution in his name we are all embracing the true meaning of the holidays and in that act of giving, we are reminded of how lucky we are to be able to share in the spirit of the season.

To donate, bring new, unwrapped toys (Harry especially loved race cars) for children newborn-18 years or a monetary donation between December 3rd-December 21 to our office at Waid Publishing, 19751 E Mainstreet, Suite R-18, Parker, CO, 80138. v

Holiday Time Management

December 2013

A

h, the holidays! The lights, the sounds, the smells, the memories. We look forward to them every year. Then suddenly they are here, and we find ourselves wishing for more time!

December is a month of expectations. These expectations come in many forms; gifts to buy, parties to attend, having the perfectly decorated home, and you still have to work and take care of family. With the proper time management and a few key reminders, you can sail through December and all the stress that tends to come with it.

First, remember expectations come from other people. What you should remember is that it is ok for your focus to be on your priorities. Ask yourself, “Do my priorities line up with what others are asking of me?” If the expectations threaten to overtake your priorities, take a step back. Rethink making commitments to others if you cannot fully appreciate what they are asking. The key to time management and maintaining your sanity during this holiday season is to learn that it is ok to say NO. And you can say it guilt free. Claudia Black has said, “Saying no can be the ultimate self-care.”

Step two in any organizing project, including time, is to remove all unnecessary items. Saying yes too much can cause stress and burn out. We begin to resent all we are saying yes to! We find ourselves trying to do too much and in the process we lose ourselves and what is most important to us and the needs of our families. Feeling resentment to the unnecessary tasks that we have taken on will be felt in all we do and everyone we interact with.

Another key aspect to holiday time management is scheduling. First, you must maintain your current schedule. This time of year may also bring changes to sporting events for kids, work projects and even school. Be sure to update your schedule accordingly. Keeping your schedule accurate on a paper calendar or your phone gives you a chance to visualize where you are putting your priorities and where you are saying yes to other’s expectations. Be sure to write, or in these days type, your schedule. When your schedule is on a calendar you are more likely to complete your tasks.

The third step in organizing is to designate zones. In applying this to time management this means when items such as errands will consume our time we can consolidate. Make a list of what you need to do each week. Run errands that are in the same general location each day. Consider things like the weather. Also consider your home schedule. Laundry needs to be done, dinner needs to be made. We can consolidate home tasks with meal planning and chore assignments.

Proper planning and time management of your priorities will help alleviate your stress and bring back the joy of the holidays. Remember what is important to you and those you love.

Don’t Miss Home for the Holidays December 12 – 22 at the Lone Tree Arts Center

11 SEARCH LONE TREE MAGAZINE

s there anything more magical than toys coming to life? That special holiday wish for many children is realized in this year’s Home for the Holidays. In a special segment called Toyz, a fantasyland of real-life toys create a magical a hip-hop version of the classic Nutcracker story.

Toyz will be choreographed by John Gillete, who has performed and choreographed all over the US. John grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and began dancing at age 13, “battling” at local clubs with other hip-hoppers. Fans of the popular TV show So You Think You Can Dance will recognize the first person John battled with – Twitch. The pair became inseparable, dancing together and feeding off each other as they grew in their respective careers. As John began producing music, he created the song mixes that Twitch danced to in his solos for SYTYCD. After moving around the US singing, dancing, choreographing and producing music, John settled on Denver as his home-base. He wanted to start a family and the city had a certain pull for him and his now-wife. The dynamic performer began choreographing for the Denver Nuggets Dancers and writing songs for a variety of artists. He soon forged a relationship with Motion Underground, a hip-hop group that focuses on maintaining the roots of the art form and teaching young people the foundations of this genre.

Today, John’s crew, Funk Umbrella, is made up of students of Motion Underground.

Their goal is to restore the art of classic popping, a street dance and one of the original funk styles that came from California during the 1960s-1970s. Popping is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer’s body, referred to as a pop or a hit. For Home for the Holidays, members of Funk Umbrella as well as other Motion Underground performers will be incorporating various styles of hiphop, including popping. John’s choreography takes advantage of the styles each member excels in, creating a performance that truly brings toys to life.

Beyond the hip-hop dancers, Toyz incorporates other elements of performance. Back after last season’s success, the Broncos Drumline will pound out high-energy rhythms and pulsating beats as little drummer boys come-to-life. New this year is the addition of world-class gymnast Wyatt Baier. Wyatt has been a gymnast since the age of five, when his parents wanted to channel his incessant climbing into something productive. When he turned 13, Wyatt decided to dedicate himself to gymnastics, working towards the goal of the Olympic rings. In 2012, Wyatt made it to the US National Championships, the final competition before Olympic trials, where he was a top contender in vault, his premier event.

After being a competitive gymnast for many years, Wyatt is excited to take on the next level of his career as a performer. A member of a performing family (in fact, his dad is in Home for the Holidays too!), Wyatt began acting at a young age. Anxious to return to the stage and utilize his skills as a gymnast, he will tumble his way into every child’s imagination.

Toyz is set to be a fun and imaginative part of this year’s performance, ready to capture the imagination of every kid, from one to ninety-two.

RESTAURANT REVIEW Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria by Mike Waid

Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria

www.bonannobrotherspizzeria.com

I

was recently at an evening reception and asked a friend of mine, Jackie, where a good place in Lone Tree would be for this month’s restaurant review. Right away she suggested Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria at Park Meadows Mall. I’m always good for a new restaurant so I invited her to join me for lunch the following week.

Located in the outdoor area of Park Meadows Mall (near the American Girl store), Bonannos is easy to find and parking is available conveniently south of the restaurant.

I arrived earlier than Jackie and was greeted by a very friendly young lady who took me to our table. My first impression of the restaurant was very good as it has a very unique design and layout. Since this was an early lunch it was not yet busy, but I could tell that it would probably be a great place to visit also for dinner after work with some friends. Jackie soon arrived and we decided to order a couple of items and share them to get a good experience of their various offerings.

We started with a combination assortment of meats and cheeses as an appetizer. I am very much a cheese and meat fan and was blown away by this incredibly flavorful combination of savory meats and succulent cheeses. The best part was how everything just seemed to “go together” on this plate.

For our meals, we chose a Panini and a Pizza to share. For the Panini, we chose “The Marco” which is delectable combination of prosciutto, salami, coppa, pepperoncini, fontina & provolone. It was accompanied by a fresh Caesar salad. I was completely impressed with the rich flavor of the Panini. The fresh, salty meats were tempered with amazing flavors from the cheeses. Honestly, this was the best Panini I had ever ad.

For the Pizza, we chose the “Walter White” made fresh with garlic, ricotta, mozzarella, bleu cheese and chili flake. Again, as a self proclaimed cheese lover I was very excited to try this creation. The combination of flavors was out of this world. Too often pizzas of various soft cheeses can be too overpowering and rich. That was definitely not the case here. The combination of cheeses mixed incredibly well with the soft bread crust and chili flake. This was one of those cases where I didn’t want to stop eating as it tasted so amazing.

The next time you are headed out for a business lunch or are looking for a great place to take the family for dinner, head over to Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria outside at Park Meadows Mall. You won’t be disappointed and will definitely be back for more!

For their complete menu or for more information, you can visit them online at bonannobrotherspizzeria.com. v

BOOKENDS Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

From 1854 to 1929 trains carried thousands of orphaned children from the East Coast to farmland in the Midwest in hopes of finding families for abandoned boys and girls.

Some would find loving homes but many were chosen to provide hard labor and tedious jobs. In this story we meet Vivian, a ninety-one year old lady that is living a quiet life in Maine. As a young Irish immigrant she was placed on an orphan train when she was only nine years old. She has put her past behind her until a troubled seventeen year old Molly comes into her life. Molly has to serve fifty hours of community service and has volunteered to help Vivian organize all the clutter in her attic. What the two discover among the trunks and boxes will change both of their lives.

wife did not. The wife was an unhappy individual in general and seemed to almost enjoy picking on and making fun of Molly. We have read other books that give glimpses of different foster situations and I’m sure there is a wide range of “normal” foster families in reality. Molly does point out to her foster family that they must enjoy the money they receive to keep a foster child, alluding to the fact that her foster parents are involved only for the additional income. Did you feel that the author was attempting to begin a discussion about the foster system?

BECKY: The characters in this story are fictional but the story was sparked by a non-fiction book that the author found at her in-laws’ house. I did not have previous knowledge of this period in American history and am curious if you have ever heard about the orphan trains?

BECKY: She definitely planted a seed in my head and a discussion regarding this topic could go on and on. I wonder what experience, if any, the author has with the foster care system. There was no direct insult of the system per se but the author did not paint a pretty scene regarding foster caregivers. As Molly becomes involved with Vivian she starts to make a physical transformation, “she wears her Goth persona like armor”. What do you think about this change in her appearance?

PAM: I had never heard of the orphan trains before reading this book, but found the topic (and the fictional characters) very interesting.

The book tells us about the lives of two characters: Molly and Vivian. Did you enjoy the author’s style of developing both stories, while bringing them together?

BECKY: It seems like we read many stories that weave the past and the present together.

Although I enjoy that style of writing, in this story I found it hard to connect with Molly. I preferred the development of Vivian’s tale and often looked forward to returning to her side of the story. Did you feel drawn to one timeframe or character?

December 2013

PAM: I agree, Becky. I was also drawn to Vivian and her story and felt that her character was much more developed. Added to her character, was the recounting of the orphan train and the time period. This was very intriguing to me and I found myself looking forward to these portions of the book, as well. Vivian had a large impact on Molly’s life. Did you feel that Molly had an impact on Vivian during their time together?

BECKY: Although it wasn’t as big of an impact, I do believe that Molly brought a special connection and friendship to Vivian’s life. Vivian lead a solitary life so I felt that reliving her stories helped to validate her past. I think that Vivian not only enjoyed sharing her life story but knew that she was giving hope to a struggling teen. The two share a number of similarities, the biggest is that they have been abandoned by their parents and thrust into care by others that don’t truly love them. Do you think that the author gave a realistic portrayal of Molly’s foster situation?

PAM: Molly’s foster situation was difficult, since the husband wanted her, but his 19 SEARCH LONE TREE MAGAZINE

PAM: When Molly started to spend time with Vivian and get to know her, she was able to be herself (something she had not been able to do for quite some time). She was afraid to just be herself at her foster home and her new school.

She needed her “armor” to protect herself and her feelings from possible rejection. However, once she began to become close to Vivian, she realized they had many things in common and it was OK for her to let her true self show.

Molly’s boyfriend was her only friend at school. As she became closer to Vivian and more comfortable in her own skin, they began to have some disagreements.

Did you feel this was significant in the story?

BECKY: While he did not have a big role in the story, he was the catalyst that brought these two women together. His mother worked for Vivian and was against Molly coming to help. It was for the love of her son that she introduced Molly to Vivian. For me that was the endearing part of this relationship. We have Molly who has no connection to a loving parent and her boyfriend has a mother that is willing to do anything for her only child. If you are interested in this story I would suggest buying a paper copy as the author included some photos from the past and I don’t think that my electronic version gave them justice. Did you like the extra information at the end?

PAM: I loved the photographs of the actual orphan trains and the children that were taken out west. The additional historical information was very interesting and I would love to learn more about this subject. Next month we will read The Shoemaker’s Wife by Adriana Trigiani. v
