Get Uncomfortable September is here and we are all settling into our next season change, welcoming fall and its crisp nights and cooler days. This time of year is normally not associated with making a change in your life, which is usually thought of around new years, but I find it a good time to self reflect on our lives. Many times when I talk to groups I remind them that, as humans, we have the right to be ordinary. We have the right to go through the paces and simply exist. However, as citizens of the United States, we have an obligation to be extraordinary. We have a duty to make our world a better place by going above and beyond with everything we do.

This is a difficult taks to embrace sometimes. It is easy to fall into our “comfort zone” and fly under the radar screen, but sometimes we need to shake up that “zone” and get uncomfortable. If you think about history, change never occurs when things are comfortable. Innovation never occurs during the status quo. Rather, during times of stretching ourselves into new areas we find new breakthroughs. I can remember many years ago when I decided to serve my community and run for office. I’m not going to lie, it was scary. I was constantly plagued with internal doubt and full of “what ifs” that had the potential to
cloud the excitement of serving my community. As I embark on my third campaign those road blocks still exist, but I’ve learned that it is important to use them as springboards into something great. Last year about this time I was asked to do something I’d never done before...act in a play. Honestly, I was scared out of my mind to perform in a play. I have no problem with being infront of large crowds but this was different...I had lines and lots of others depending on my performance. At the end of the run of “West Side Story” I looked back and realized how much it changed my life and how it showed me that we each should get uncomfortable and push our boundaries. Now, one year later, I am getting ready to appear in my next performance...SPAMalot. Still scary...still difficult...still exciting...still life changing. This fall I am challenging each of you to get uncomfortable...push your limits...try something new that you would never do. It is only there, at the point where we are outside of our comfort zones, where we can grow into better people. Use these new experiences to inspire those around you to expand and grow. Be a leader by demonstrating that it is okay to try new things, to fail at them, to succeed at them and to grow because of them.

THE FOX ARTS CENTER
Everyone likes to have a little fun once in awhile and residents of Aurora are no exception. During the Golden Age of Hollywood, the draw of the magical big screen was hard to pass up. Aurora residents had longed for a theater as motion pictures became more and more popular, but the Great Depression and World War II made this type of construction impossible. Once the war ended, the Fox Inter-Mountain Amusement Corporation built this 670 seat theater, designed by architect Charles Strong. The building consists of a U.S. Army Quonset hut fronted with an Art Moderne entrance block, marquee and neon sign. Sadly, a fire forced the theater’s closure in 1981 but it was restored between 1983-85 and currently operates as a performing arts center, owned by the city of Aurora. In October, the Fox Theater begins an exciting line up of first rate entertainment, beginning with Dracula, which will run from October 7th through November 6th. Join them on October 8th for the Dracuala Gala, complete with delicious Italian food from Carrabba’s, wine, a silent auction and the opening of the spine tingling Dracula. For a complete listing of the Aurora Fox Theater’s schedule, visit aurorafoxartscenter.org. Thanks to the City of Aurora Historic Preservation Commission

2ND & CHARLES
You may have spent a bit of your summer lounging on a hammock or sunning poolside with a great book in hand. Now that it’s time to gear up for back to school season, making sure your kids have books that will peak their interest for nightly reading is going to be on the “to do” list. In South Aurora, 2nd & Charles is the perfect place to find something for everyone in the family, but there’s a twist. 2nd & Charles isn’t just a book store, or a music store, or a video game store. 2nd & Charles is a book (or music or video game) lover’s best friend. When you visit, take the handful of books that you’ve read (and re-read) and are ready to part with. Simply drop your gently used books, games or music in the white bins up front, take your items to the Buy Back counter, take a number and start browsing the seemingly endless stacks while your items are assessed. Once your number shows up on one of the store’s monitors, head to the counter to see what you’ve earned in store credit – or just cold hard cash. As they say at 2nd & Charles, it’s not used, it’s pre-loved. It’s also a terrific way to purge what you no longer want or need and keep new to you books, music and games in your home library. Come in and see what’s waiting, after all, it’s all new to you! 6606 South Parker Rd – 303.400.2948 – Sun 10am-9pm, Mon-Sat 10am-10pm 2ndandcharles.com or Find them on Facebook

with Pam & Becky
We Never Asked for Wings By Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Letty Espinosa has relied upon her mother to raise her children. She works numerous jobs to support her two children, her mother, her father, and herself. However, she has never been responsible for her children, other than in a financial aspect. Her children, now fifteen and six, become her responsibility as her mother and father return to their home in Mexico. Letty must learn many lessons as she discovers how to become a mother to her children. PAM This book caught my attention, as we enjoyed another story by this author quite some time ago. I struggled greatly with Letty’s character. I was frustrated by her behavior and the choices she made with respect to her family. Did you have trouble connecting to this character? BECKY Letty was not a character that I enjoyed very much but
she would create some interesting conversation for a book club. She is in her thirties but is just now taking responsibility for her two children. The first is born when she is a teen so it gives us a small glimpse into the realities of teen pregnancy. I think that this story sugar coated her transition to full time motherhood, especially with a teenager, and that is what bothered me. Would you have liked her better if her struggles were more realistic?
SEPTEMBER 2016
PAM I think I would have respected her more if the struggle were more realistic. However, I still don’t think I would have connected with her because her choices were so immature and self-centered. As Letty reflects on her experiences as a mother, she obviously feels slighted by her mother. She was spared the responsibility of being a mother, but she also missed the bonding and special experiences with her children. How did you feel about this aspect of the story? Did you feel that it flipped the perspective of the reader?
and their struggles. I would have loved for the author to have delved deeper into that topic. Were you left wanting more or were the other storylines enough for this book?
PAM This storyline provided a look into the world of illegal immigrants from a specific point of view. The author shows the reader this world through the viewpoint of a family. Although I would have liked the author to go a bit deeper into this storyline, the others were also intriguing. When their grandparents return to Mexico, it throws the family into turmoil. But, do you believe they knew what they were doing for this small family? BECKY The grandfather was ready to spend his final days in his
BECKY That’s an interesting point to make. I think that was possibly the author’s intention but it didn’t work for me. I didn’t like Letty from the beginning of the story and liked her even less by the end. For the most part, I feel like the characters weren’t developed much and it felt like a young adult novel to me. Letty’s son, Alex and his love interest, Yesenia, were the most interesting part of this story. What did you think about this young love?
true home, which was Mexico. The grandmother was completely dedicated to her husband and chose not to leave his side and adamantly stayed with him. I guess that it’s possible that the grandmother arranged this situation to force Letty to mother her children, but I don’t think that she left with the intent to put Letty’s family back together. I was shocked that the grandmother abruptly left two children that she had been raising and hoped that Letty would step up to a position that she had ignored for fifteen years. I feel like the grandmother was forced to choose between her husband and the grandchildren. Unfortunately, we don’t get to know the grandparents well during this story. Do you think it would have added more insight and a greater connection if we could have known these characters better?
PAM I enjoyed this aspect of the story and it helped me to connect with Alex. Alex and Yesenia have numerous challenges in their personal lives and their school lives. These challenges ultimately bring them closer together and they begin to rely on this relationship for support. Did you feel that they found this in each other, as they lacked it at home?
PAM Knowing their side of the story would have helped me understand the dynamics between Letty and her mother and how they shaped the relationships within the family. A long time ago, we read another book by this author, “The Language of Flowers.” Now that we have discussed a second book, would you be tempted to pick up another by this author?
BECKY This was such a sweet relationship, as only young love
BECKY I would definitely look at this author again. I enjoyed the
can be, and it definitely filled a void that each one had. Alex was struggling with losing his grandparents and adjusting to his mother. Yesenia’s arms became the safe haven for his broken heart. Yesenia was living with her mother and had a physical impairment that created a difficult situation for her at school. Although these last two characters are small in this story, they created the most interesting situation. Yesenia’s mother, Carmen is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. It gave us a small glimpse into that world

LOCALAUTHORSPOTLIGHT STILL MISSING MAX:
FINDING HOPE AFTER MY MARINE SON’S DEATH By Julie Burget Schrock
Missing Max is a compelling story of one mother’s journey as Julie recalls the extraordinary events surrounding the death of her Marine son, Corporal Max W. Donahue, who was killed in Afghanistan in August, 2010. You will share her despair, fears, tears and finally, her hope as Julie moves through the days and months following word of Max’s injury, and then his death. Missing Max is a must-read for anyone who has lost a loved one. It encourages the reader to live a life focused on making their lost loved one proud. Julie writes of moving through the grieving process and, through her faith and the love of family and friends, begins the healing process and going forward with her life. Julie’s hope in writing Max’s story is that it will provide strength, hope, courage and faith to those who need it. And she hopes that Max, and all fallen soldiers, will never be forgotten. Still Missing Max: The Expanded Version tells of the intimate way God carried Julie through the years following Max’s death. Even if the reader doesn’t share her faith, most won’t dispute that something miraculous was and is occurring.

“… And Now For Something Completely Different!” Spamalot, a new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” gallops onto the PACE Center’s mainstage September 30th – October 16th. Fans of the film and all things Monty Python will thoroughly enjoy this absurd musical that is jam-packed with cheeky British comedy. The story follows King Arthur and his loyal servant Patsy as they try to recruit Knights of the Round Table to join them in Camelot and their quest for the Holy Grail. Rude Frenchmen, cancan dancers, the Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls, killer rabbits, catapulting cows, and the somewhat odd Knights who say “ni” are just part of the adventures and dangers awaiting King Arthur and his knights of the very very very round table. Unlike the movie, Director Kelly McAllister promises that this “outrageous, funny and charming” musical happens “around the audience.” The cast will be in the audience and the audience will be on the stage for this “insanely fun and crazy show.” McAllister’s goal is to make the production as fun as possible for both the cast and the audience. From having The Hand of God come down from the ceiling, to creating Vegas-style castles on set, to extending the entertainment out to the lobby during intermission (Yes… they’ll be selling SPAM), this musical promises memorable experiences and nonstop laughter throughout. Casting for this slapstick comedy was humorous as well, attracting a talented team of actors from all over Colorado. Admittedly, they are not British, but McAllister laughs that “the worse their accents are, the better actually.” Adding to the absurdity of the play, Parker’s own Mayor Mike Waid makes an appearance in the production as a bearded super hero. Spamalot pokes fun at almost everyone and everything, without apology. So if you’re looking for an impertinent, irreverent, disrespectful, and sometimes just plain rude musical that’s all in good fun, contact the PACE Center’s Box Office at www.ParkerArts.org or 303.805.6800 for tickets. But, please, if you are easily offended, take King Arthur’s advice and “Run away!” Kelly McAllister Kelly is an experienced director, actor, educator, playwright, and was a senior reviewer for nytheatre.com. As a director, Kelly has worked locally with the Denver JCC/Wolf Theatre Academy, the Off Broadway School of Fine Arts, Rocky Mountain Theatre for Kids, Mapleton School District, The Watershed School of Boulder, The Squeaky Stage, The Renaissance Program in Boulder and many more. Kelly has taught, acted and directed all over the country, including Colorado, California and NYC. He has written both plays and musicals, winning several awards. His plays have been produced all over the United States, as well as Canada, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovak Republic, Dubai, and Brazil. He wrote and directed Strong Tea, a short film, and recently wrote the play, April’s Fool, which was featured at 2014 New York International Fringe Festival. Kelly directed StageDoor’s How to Succeed, Wedding Singer, Anything Goes, Sweet Charity, and The Drowsy Chaperone.

DR.DANFORtoday Are You Suffering From Depression? A man and his wife were traveling west and stopped at a full service gas station to fill up their tank. After the station attendant had washed their car’s windshield, the driver of the car told the man, “It is still dirty. Wash it again.” So the station attendant washed it again only to hear a similar angry reply, “It’s still dirty. Don’t you know how to wash a windshield?” Just then the man’s wife reached over and took her husband’s glasses from his head and cleaned the lenses with a tissue. When she put them back on her husband’s head the windshield was clean! The moral of the story is that our mental attitude acts as a filter and has a great deal to do with how we look at things. The whole world can appear depressing if we ourselves have a depressed mental and emotional attitude. This may be a humorous example, but the scope and effects of depression are no laughing matter. An estimated 40 million or more people suffer from depression in the United States. Many believe that this figure is low and estimate the number to be as high as 60 million Americans. Others maintain that every person will suffer from some form of depression some time in their life. Depression has been called the nation’s most widespread and under treated emotional problem. At one time, depression was considered a major public health problem and there are no signs that thing are getting any better. Many famous people have suffered from depression. Abraham Lincoln suffered from manic-depression. Winston Churchill said his depression followed him like a “black dog”. Charles Spurgeon, one of England’s greatest preachers of the 1800s experienced a life long battle with depression. Whether we speak of the rich and famous, the poor and the unknown, or any in between, no one is immune from depression. What exactly is this so called emotional epidemic we call depression? Depression is an emotional and mental state whereby everything in one’s life is seen in a negative light. A simple definition is a specific alteration of our mood downward. This would be the state of those of us on the more severe end of the depressive continuum. Many of us may not have experienced these thoughts or feelings at this level. Therefore, consider depression on a continuum from mild to severe. At one end are people who are discouraged, sad, or suffering from a loss. As we experience more intense feelings of depression we more toward the other end of the continuum. As you review the following list of characteristics of depression, you can see where you or a loved one may be on this depression continuum.
SEPTEMBER 2016
The National Association for Mental Health has compiled a list of ten danger signs identifying whether a person is suffering from depression. As you can see, many of these signals can be normal reactions to major changes in our lives. Only when a person doesn’t bounce back, when the ability to function normally is impaired for long periods of time, is the problem considered clinical depression. The ten danger signs are:
ASK DR. DAN 13 SEARCH SOUTH AURORA MAGAZINE
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
A general feeling of hopelessness and despair which a person feels about several areas of their life.
The inability to concentrate, making reading, writing, and concentration difficult. This occurs when a person’s thinking is slowed down because their mind is preoccupied with their inner turmoil. A change in physical activities like a loss of appetite and sleep disturbances. A loss of our self-esteem accompanied by continual questioning of our self-worth.
A withdrawing from others because of a groundless fear of rejection. Threats of suicide as a way out of hostile surroundings, stemming from a belief that life is hopeless and worthless.
Oversensitivity to what others say or do along with general irritability. Misdirected anger and trouble in handling most feelings; anger at ourselves based on feelings of worthlessness which may cause us to be angry at others. Frequent guilt feelings arising from our assumption that we are wrong or are responsible for the unhappiness of others. Extreme dependence on other people, leading us first to feelings of hopelessness, then for us to get angry at our hopelessness feelings.
There is no doubt about it, depression is very debilitating. If you find yourself suffering from several of these danger signs, call your family physician and call a therapist for help with depression screening appointment. Now that I have laid a ground work for what depression is along with its many facets, I will be offering practical suggestions of how to cope it in the coming months. Be sure to read my next article on “Coping with Depression.” Dr Dan Trathen is a Clinical and Sports Psychologist in Parker. His office is located near Parker Adventist Hospital.
