Column: Timing is everything as campaign to change Aurora form of government gathers momentum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Exactly half a century ago in the city of Aurora, residents had a choice of changing to a city manager style of government, a referendum question that failed in a close vote in 1976. But timing, as they say, is everything. And a group pushing to make that transition is convinced there has never been a better opportunity than now.

Column: Aurora family of recent suicide victim wants to shatter the silence that surrounds mental health issues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Luz Zavala is a mother with many questions – and the determination to find answers – after her 21-year-old son Juanito Lopez took his own life last week. Suicide, unfortunately, is not uncommon among the young, and in fact, several sources have noted a recent rash of these tragedies in the Aurora community.

And the remainder, now tucked away in boxes, will go the Haymarket Center in Chicago, where Fagel is a volunteer leader at retreats that help first responders recover from trauma.

Column: Youth dance troupe, still in step after many challenges, will lead suicide awareness vigil in Aurora (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Life has introduced more than a few difficult steps to Simply Destinee Dance Studio. Sixteen years ago, the Aurora nonprofit was created by Martin Luna-Espinoza and his sister Liza Olivia in memory of her daughter Destinee, a Metea Valley High School student who died by suicide at age 16.

Yet this plucky dance organization always manages to stay on
