A community leader, advocate, champion for women and Arizona’s longest-serving judge, Elizabeth R. Finn, Glendale’s former presiding judge, will be honored for serving others on Tuesday, Oct. 5. “It is really exciting to be acknowledged,” Finn said. “I’ve won a lot of awards in my 43 years of being a judge. This one is for the West Valley, so that’s kind of exciting.” The West Valley Women Networking Association’s 2021 Woman of the Year luncheon is noon Tuesday, Oct. 5, at Arizona Broadway Theatre, Peoria. For tickets, call 602-573-7496 or visit westvalleywomennetworking.com.
Lisa E. Platt, chief connections officer of the West Valley Women Networking Association, said the organization honored Finn for myriad reasons, including her advocacy for domestic violence survivors. “She helped rewrite some of the domestic violence laws that ultimately helped victims become survivors,” Platt said. “Judge Finn also established specialty courts for cases involving domestic violence, homelessness and mental health.” Finn has been the interim court administrator in Carefree and Cave Creek for about two months. Prior to that, she was in El Mirage for the same length of time. “I’m making the rounds around the

An avid traveler, Glendale pediatric hospitalist Dr. Shelly Batra longed to try international medicine. When her friend, a child life specialist, introduced her to Operation Smile, Batra said it gave her the chance of a lifetime. “At the time I was introduced to Operation Smile, I was going through a rough patch in my personal life,” she said about 2014. “Being able to provide care for people who either don’t have access or don’t have the resources has always been something
that I’ve been interested in. I was never really sure how to do it. Operation Smile gave me that platform to be able to not only do what I love but also be able to do it in an environment that’s built on providing quality care.” Operation Smile is a nonprofit organization that assists patients who have a cleft condition. A cleft lip or cleft palate is a gap in the mouth that didn’t close during the early stages of pregnancy. Cleft conditions are primarily caused by genetics, medical conditions or exposure to harmful substances. According to Operation Smile, every 3
minutes a child is born with a cleft condition worldwide. While this statistic is daunting, as many as 9 in 10 people have difficulties accessing basic medical care, such as surgeries. This means several kids with a cleft condition will have to experience bullying if their condition isn’t surgically fixed. This is where Operation Smile comes in. The nonprofit’s volunteer medical workers provide care to patients who wouldn’t have access to these kinds of procedures at any other hospital. Batra, who sees patients at Banner SEE SMILE PAGE 4

Valley,” she said with a laugh. “Seriously, there were a couple of courts that needed support in the area. Because I had the knowledge — or I was willing to learn — they reached out to me. I only had one month off (as a retiree). I retired at the end of March, and I had April off. I was called for El Mirage and then I was only off four days when I was called for Carefree/ Cave Creek.” Finn, 74, told the Glendale City Council of her retirement two years in advance. “I didn’t really know in 2019 how I was going to feel in 2021,” she said. “I thought, ‘We’ll see what happens in 2021.’ I’ve been blessed with two opportunities now. I can perform every position in court at this point.” Finn’s mother, Ruth G. Finn, was a member of the founding class at ASU College of Law at the age of 48 graduating summa cum laude. Finn graduated two years after her mother in 1972. She worked at her father’s law firm prior to being appointed to the Phoenix Municipal Court, May 1, 1979. Her father, Herbert B. Finn, is well known for his civil rights work, particularly a predecessor to the landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education case. He did so with Hayzel B. Daniels, the first Black lawyer and first Black judge in Arizona. As a Jew, Finn has seen her share of discrimination. In high school, she saw signs that said hotels or other properties refused to serve people based on race, creed or color. “That meant me,” she said. “My dad and Hayzel lost business doing this civil rights work. It wasn’t like it was popular back then. But they’ve both been recognized in the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. I wonder what they would think about it now.” The dinner table at her parents’ home was a “very political discussion about current events.” “We were raised on politics,” she added. “We didn’t have to learn it. It was discussed frequently. I didn’t find my passion until I became a judge.” It was then that Finn used her passion for civil rights, mental illness, homelessness and domestic abuse issues.

As a presiding judge for the Glendale City Court, she created and implemented specialty courts that include domestic violence treatment and mental health courts. In the early 1980s, she was asked to handle a domestic violence section of a judicial conference. It took that one session and working with experts to learn that things had to change. “The police needed to respond differently,” said Finn, who worked for Glendale from Oct. 28, 2002, until her retirement on March 25. “The court needed to respond to victims differently. “I discovered that the criminal justice system victimized victims of domestic violence,” said Finn, who worked for Glendale from Oct. 28, 2002, until her retirement on March 25. “Things needed to be changed. I worked for decades changing domestic laws.” She was responsible for the launch of Arizona’s first city Domestic Violence Treatment Court program without probation resources and the management of over $1.5 million in domestic violence grant awards.

The Mental Health Court followed, and it was one of two Supreme Court-designated city courts to conduct their own mental competency hearings. The pilot resulted in legislation for all limited jurisdiction courts to preside over these proceedings. It had a direct effect on the public, she said. “Our goal was not to punish them but have them become stable so they would not reoffend,” she said. “That was a court I did every week from 2013. We had to shut down March 13, 2020, and we opened again on June 8, 2021, via Zoom. “We couldn’t see each other. We’re unable to manage the Zoom app sufficiently. That was the most stable thing in these individuals’ lives. During that time, they said they wanted to see their judge. They took it very personally.” “I was so fortunate to grow up in a house filled with passion to make the world a better place. My wish would be for everyone to find their passion to effectuate change.”

Thunderbird Medical Center, has a background in volunteering but never for a medical nonprofit organization. “As a kid and a teenager in college I volunteered with other groups but mainly local things,” she said. Operation Smile is the first medical nonprofit for which she has volunteered. She gave this organization a shot because she wanted to “practice medicine and do what I love to do.” Since she started volunteering for the nonprofit, she has been on 11 missions. Batra has traveled to Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Morocco, Ghana, Madagascar, the Philippines twice, and Mexico three times. Though Batra said while all the trips are special, her top three missions are Vietnam, Morocco and Ghana. The missions in Morocco and Ghana were very educational. “I had the opportunity not only to learn new things myself but to teach local and international physicians how to manage the pre- and post-operative care of our cleft patients,” Batra said. The Vietnam trip was Batra’s second mission with Operation Smile. It was dubbed a MEGA mission, one in which multiple medical teams in different cities throughout the country perform surgery on patients with a cleft condition during the same week. “It was so amazing to watch all these people from all over the world come together for this single mission,” Batra said. “It was long, hard, tiring and hot. But the smiles were worth every single minute.” Operation Smile is multifaceted, she
said. Not only does it provide medical care to patients with cleft conditions, but it has nutrition, speech and dietary services to help its patients before and after surgery. Batra is one of the medical providers who trains future volunteers for Operation Smile. “I will train medical residents and fellows to keep the line going,” Batra said. Batra is a pediatric hospitalist who works with a lot of newborns. “Sometimes we’ll get families who did not know that they were going to have a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate or any sort of craniofacial condition,” Batra said. When this situation arises, Batra refers the patients to her Operation Smile network if the patients are unable to get their care locally. “Having a network of people to be able to refer to is a huge asset to me. And then in turn becomes an asset to my patients,” Batra said. Patients with cleft conditions require several follow-up appointments after surgery. Many times, the medical volunteers will stay connected with their patients. “The beautiful thing is your patients recognize you. They’ll remember you,” Batra said. While Batra enjoys volunteering for Operation Smile, she would like to see more people doing what they love. “If you’re thinking about doing something on a regular basis, just do it. Don’t wait. Don’t pass Go and collect $200,” Batra said. “Life’s too short to miss out on an opportunity to help others.”

Ironwood High School wide receiver Jayden Sullivan has talked his friends through the hard times. “I just want to help people,” said Sullivan, a sophomore. Sullivan is one of 15 high school football players from 12 schools who are starring in a series of public service announcements during September, Teen Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, filmed with Teen Lifeline and the Grand Canyon State Gridiron Club. The PSAs are designed to provide a unified message to teens who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. Teen Lifeline is a Phoenix-based nonprofit with a focus on giving teens a safe space to talk about their depression and anxiety. Lifeline Clinical Director Nikki Kontz hopes these videos will have a significant impact on the students who watch them. “Our high school football players are seen as the heroes or seen as the people that bad things don’t happen to,” Kontz said. “The fact is they’re struggling with the same things that every other kid is, and this is a way for them to bring awareness to everyone.” Teen Lifeline received nearly 35,000 calls and texts to its suicide prevention hotline in 2020, with the majority coming from Arizona adolescents ages 10 to 19. “Collaborations with organizations like Grand Canyon State Gridiron Club and high school athletes are critical in spreading the message that there is hope and help available to teens who need it,” said Michelle Moorhead, Teen Lifeline executive director, in a statement. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the 30-year-old Teen Lifeline has received the most calls and texts from teens. “We can see it (awareness) even on the national and international stage, the things that have occurred in these last four months with Olympians like Sim-
one Biles talking about the importance of mental health,” Kontz said. Participating players will be recognized during their games in September. Members of the cheer team and spirit squads will wear custom Lifeline ribbons in their hair, and coaches will sport green suicide prevention shirts. “It has been an amazing partnership every year. To see the numbers that we’re getting on social media and how many people it’s reaching within each of the schools has been something special,” Kontz said. The 263 Arizona middle and high schools have printed the Teen Lifeline phone number on the back of their student IDs. For more information, visit TeenLifeline.org. For help, call or text Teen Lifeline at 602-248-TEEN (8336) or 1-800-248-TEEN. Sullivan became involved in Teen Lifeline a few months ago when the nonprofit reached out to him. “A couple of my friends have come to me, and I talked them through it,” he said. “They could trust me, and they needed me at that point in their life. They could trust me as a true friend.” Sullivan said Teen Lifeline gives him the experience and guidance that he’ll need to pursue a career in the mental health field. Teen Lifeline walks students through the proper technique to talk to people with suicidal thoughts. “They have people there to help you walk through everything and learn what you need to do to help people,” he said. Once football season ends, Sullivan will spend more time answering phone calls from struggling teens. He also intends to stay in the program throughout high school. Ultimately, he has a general message to anyone who is going through a rough patch. “Never give up. Pursue your dreams. There are always people out there who can help you and walk you through everything. So just never give up.”

Benevilla receives gift from Piper Trust BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Benevilla received a grant from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust on Sept. 13 as a part of the “Now is the Moment” commemoration. The Piper Trust gave a record $123 million to 71 Maricopa County nonprofits, like Benevilla, still navigating the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants were awarded during a series of meetings at the Piper Trust’s midtown headquarters. It was the largest single-day grant initiative in Arizona. “Our feeling was, ‘Let’s take every
penny and put it into the community,’’” Piper trustee Sharon Harper said. “I was in tears when I received the news,” added Joanne Thomson, Benevilla president and chief executive officer. “Our agency has worked so hard to support our community members during this pandemic, and with generous support like this, we can continue to do so.” During this COVID-19 crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise older adults to stay home because they are at high risk of
including its four Life Enrichment Programs, which provide daytime respite for family members caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, survivors of stroke, fall-related injuries, or intellectual and developmental disabilities. Benevilla also offers free home services that provide free assisted transportation, grocery shopping and light handyman services among other services and free Caregiver Support Groups, the Family Resource Center as well as the C.A.R.E.S.

According to 2018 census population estimates, there are 254,000 West Valley senior residents or adults with disabilities, and many of them do not have a support network enabling them to stay independent at home. “In the world of COVID-19, the Benevilla programs have become a lifeline for many in our community who wish for themselves or their loved ones to remain safe and healthy at home,” Thomson said.

READER’S VIEWPOINT LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Commenting on Leibowitz
Editor: I concur with many of David Liebowitz’s conceptions about biased thinking and its effects upon our decisions regarding important issues. We all want to be right about our choices by looking for reasons to justify them, and David’s positions are taken to confirm his biases. But I think he has committed numerous errors in his process of arriving at decisions about, “What kills our kids with the greatest frequency?” The objective of his article is to lessen the fears of Arizona citizens over COVID-19 danger with respect to those 20 years old and younger. I could add several more tragic illnesses that humanity has controlled or eliminated with vaccines, many of which were steadfastly refused by anti-vaccination arguers of the past — then, as now, mostly on the conservative right. These include, but are not limited to, smallpox, chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, polio, tetanus and a host of others. Additionally, masks were resisted vehemently during attempts to institute many of the above-mentioned vaccines. So, here we are again creating issues for culture wars, instead of protecting children. What have we learned from the history of the world about diseases and vaccines? Because COVID-19 kills and hospitalizes more “age 55 or older,” David surmises we should not be worried about “a spike in COVID (cases) among Arizona children.” I couldn’t disagree more. The medical world is trying to assess what the long-term repercussions will be of the myriad symptoms noted to date from contracting the virus, particularly within the age cohort under 20. So how many decades will the unfortunate children and young adult victims of COVID-19 suffer from unknown aftereffects? Better safe
and cautious than to risk a lifetime of misery for a child of our times? A quantum leap is also made in David’s thought process that — maskless, as Gov. Ducey directs — sending kids to school would be less dangerous to the students than to “older principals, teachers and school staffers.” Firstly, most adult educators are likely to be vaccinated by now (although they too are dying from getting COVID-19 in the schools they work in), while the under-12-year-olds and students living with anti-vaccine parents, who worry about their “freedom” more than their child’s health, are unprotected and more likely to spread the disease among themselves. Wouldn’t parents be infuriated, if they discovered their children got COVID-19 because school personnel around them were unvaccinated or positive carriers? We do know that the delta variant of COVID-19 is moving much more rapidly among the unvaccinated, where state governors refuse to issue vaccine and/or mask mandates, but are, simultaneously, moving in refrigerated morgue trailers. Indeed, Texas, one of the “nonmandate” states, has had 73,000 positive cases among their students in less than a month after school opening. The CDC — which, like government health agencies worldwide, admittedly seems to often be playing catch-up — is reporting that the unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the vaccinated. Freedom in a democracy is about individual rights and responsibilities, where we take care of each other as a community. Individual choices concern things like what will I wear today or what podcast will I listen to — not whether I should make myself and others sick if I choose to today, particularly with respect to children. Most children cannot make the choice of getting vaccinated and/or wearing a mask, to prevent themselves from being on the “side” of supporting COVID-
19’s exponential growth. In about 16 months, the United States has had more than 661,320 COVID-19 deaths, and delta now has the country at about 1,500 deaths per day. Even with the speed of delta’s transmissibility, children and adults can be asymptomatic or unaware spreaders for several days. As a former lifetime educator and school psychologist, I was always amazed at the rate of disease transfer among students from pre-K through high school. Contagious illnesses moved among the student population with the speed of social media rumors. So, again, why suggest that students are not at risk? As far as genuine concerns about learning loss go, the resiliency in a child’s recovery of lost information was always more dependent upon their return to good teachers and supportive parents. The more hand wringing due to parental fears about a child’s loss of school attendance, the more anxiety ridden were their kids. Rather than the governor financially rewarding or enticing schools systems to support his future political ambitions, expressed as anti-mask and anti-vaccine rhetoric, these funds would be more appropriately distributed if based upon the learning needs of the systems’ students. Then David’s delineated student “cases, hospitalizations, deaths and vaccination levels,” would not be dependent upon ZIP codes. Finally, David acknowledges using Arizona data from 2019 or pre-pandemic to list causes of deaths among state children. Well, how does he have any idea what the data will look like from the results of almost 200,000 positive Arizona cases of COVID-19 so far, and the long-
term effects upon kids who contract it. Additionally, maybe the state needs to more closely address, with necessary resources and interventions, the causes of death among children that David lists like “car crashes” (I assume an adult was driving), “homicides” (guns and blunt force; how did the kids get a gun), parental substance abuse (how about more rehab), “unsafe sleep environments” (runaways, sudden infant death syndrome, etc.), and “natural death” (premature birth, birth defects, cancer, and other diseases like COVID-19). With respect to his comparison of “your average case of the flu” to COVID-19, it’s a stretch. Such conclusions will be more appropriate after we get out of this mess, which will only happen if masks and vaccines are mandated in Arizona and the other resistant states where, coincidentally, the highest rates of positive cases, hospitalizations and deaths among the entire nation exist. President Lincoln stated one month before the Emancipation Proclamation, “Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We … will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. … The world knows we do know how to save it.” Do you want to be viewed 10 years from now about our decisions, right or wrong, and their effects upon today’s children? Will we be forced to defend bad choices made to protect our symbolic beliefs, rather than logical actions to prevent harm to the kids? Art Veves

hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Arizona residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Arizona residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Arizona you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Arizona residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Arizona residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Arizona and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:
Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:
It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Arizona State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
Why are so many Arizona residents claiming them:
Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Arizona residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.
How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:
Arizona residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB2069 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Arizona State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Dream big and focus on the moment BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Oh, Emma Raducanu, let’s count the ways we love thee. First, the improbability of a tennis player to emerge from qualifying status to win a Grand Slam tournament is a stunning triumph. In a matter of months, Emma went from graduating high school, to accomplishing a feat that very few could have predicted. History is in the making, and her rise to fame is nothing short of amazing. Her message? Dream big and focus on the moment. Every now and then, we get to witness greatness. Sports can do that for us. Giving we, the ordinary, a snapshot of what it looks like to be extraordinary. The sport of tennis has been suffering these past few years. Giants of the
game are aging, experiencing career-ending injuries, and then there is the unpleasant display of racket-smashing, screaming behavior. Naomi Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam singles champion who is taking a break from tennis due to mental health issues. So along comes Emma, the 18-yearold wonder to become the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam, sending the tennis world into a meltdown. Well, I don’t play tennis anymore, but I am a fan of the sheer enormity of what this teenager achieved. Maybe we all needed a little positivity in a world of unpleasant news. A few fun facts about tennis. There is a pineapple on top of the Wimbledon Trophy, because apparently it represents the tradition of English sailors putting pineapples on their gateposts when they returned from a long voyage.
How did tennis become associated with long trips at sea? No one really knows. Tennis balls were originally white until yellow balls were first used in Wimbledon in 1986. And is there a reason why we say “love” for zero in tennis? Another unsolved mystery. Did you know that former world No. 1 tennis player, Maria Sharapova’s on-court grunt is louder than an aircraft? Yes, her grunt or shriek when she hits the ball has been officially recorded at a volume as high as 101 decibels. That is louder than a motorcycle or a small aircraft landing. Also, the same volume as an ambulance siren. I do understand the frustration of hearing a loud grunt while playing with tennis balls. My old dog, Piper, a massive yellow Labrador, could probably grunt at 110 decibels (loud as a lion’s roar) while we played ball. And Piper was obsessed with tennis balls. He could
hold four in his mouth at the same time. Piper was like many tennis champions, because those bright yellow balls were his greatest joy — and obsession. The riches from tennis do not necessarily come from the actual game. Experts predict that Emma might become the first billion-dollar sports star in England from endorsement deals. Might be a good thing, but danger always lurks in going from relative obscurity to overnight global exposure. Hopefully, the love of playing will continue for her as she navigates her new celebrity status. If you don’t enjoy tennis, maybe get a few balls, an old dog, and let the “love” of the game begin. No racket required. Just the racket of a few loud grunts. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a comment or a story? Email her at judy@judybluhm.com.

Celebrities’ medical advice as worthless as endorsements BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
One of my crowning achievements as an American is having never watched a single episode of any program involving a Kardashian. I have made a point of this for the past 20 years for three reasons. One, because I’m not terribly keen on reality most days, I see no reason to watch reality television. Two, Kris and Kim, et. al., have managed to ruin Bruce Jenner and Kanye West, the only humans connected to the Kardashian clan with any discernible talent. Finally — and most importantly — I loathe celebrities. This is clearly a minority opinion in 2021. At a moment when so many of us seem to take our cultural, political, lifestyle and health care cues from the rich and famous, it feels rebellious to willfully ignore everyone from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Cardi B. Understand, please, I’m not saying that celebrities have no right to voice their opinions. They absolutely do.
And, in turn, the rest of us have the right to ignore them like a 5-year-old ignoring a plateful of green veggies. How bad have things gotten? I flipped on CNN recently to see anchor Jake Tapper seriously ask Dr. Anthony Fauci to comment on a tweet made by pop star Nikki Minaj that “a cousin in Trinidad won’t get the (COVID-19) vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen.” Minaj went on to encourage her 22 million Twitter followers to “pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied,” when considering being vaccinated. Said Fauci on the subject of testicular swelling and vaccine-caused reproductive issues: “There’s no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen. So, the answer to your question is no.” Nuts, am I right? The most popular podcast in America belongs to stand-up comic Joe Rogan, who has spent time recently (a)
flat on his back after testing positive for COVID-19 and (b) describing his use of ivermectin to treat the disease. While it’s true the drug won the Nobel Prize in 2015, that was for its use treating the world’s poorest populations for parasitic diseases like river blindness and elephantiasis. In animals, veterinary-grade ivermectin is used to deworm livestock. Is it a miracle cure for COVID-19? No, says the Food and Drug Administration: “Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.” By the way: “Never use medications intended for animals on yourself or other people. Animal ivermectin products are very different from those approved for humans. Use of animal ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in humans is dangerous.” BS, calls Rogan: “The pharmaceutical companies are in cahoots to try and make anybody who takes this stuff look crazy. But what’s crazy is look how better I got! I got better pretty quick.”
In fairness, Rogan often tells his flock that he’s not offering medical advice — while seeming to offer medical advice. But anymore, what celebrity isn’t offering advice? Social media is full of influencers peddling makeup tips, keto diets and sex toys. The biggest draw in boxing right now isn’t a boxer at all. It’s celebrimoron Jake Paul, who initially “went viral” doing stunt videos on Vine before starring in “Bizaardvark” on the Disney Channel. And politics? Joe Biden had a cruise ship full of celebs on his side in 2020, including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Donald Trump — our first celebrity president! — had endorsements from Mike Ditka, Lil Wayne and Roseanne Barr. My prescription: If you’re voting based on recommendations from The Rock or Roseanne, how about instead you swallow 24 ivermectin tablets and call me in the morning?

California recall outcome leaves questions BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist

“As Maine goes, so goes the nation!” Politics provided that boast for the Pine Tree State over more than a century. From 1820 until 1932, the party that won Maine’s gubernatorial election and would see its nominee capture the presidency in November — at least that’s the way it went in 22 of 29 election cycles. In more recent years, California has enjoyed a similar reputation — not as a political bellwether but as a lifestyle trendsetter, especially for the last half of the 20th century. Postwar prosperity, pleasing weather, plus the production of motion pictures and television programs put the rest of the nation on notice that California truly was the Golden State. Actually, the rest of the nation did more than take notice. Many Americans took to the road and moved to California; it became our most populous state in 1962. But the growth had a downside. The traffic, the smog and the crowds led many to leave in the 1970s. In fact, a neighboring state popularized this earthy request: “Don’t ‘Californicate’ Oregon!” Sloganeering aside, statistics reveal that California’s growth has slowed significantly, most notably in the second decade of the 21st century. The Public Policy Institute of California reports that “in the past year, growth has essentially ground to a halt.” Why? California’s government has killed the Golden Bear. Leftist policies that excuse illegal immigration, empower criminals and emasculate police have endangered the law abiding and ended any notion of an idyllic middle-class lifestyle. Add to that wasteful spending, excessive taxation, plus a housing crisis, and it has put real economic pressure on middle-income families. So, before California’s middle class completely went the way of the Dodo, a grassroots campaign took root. The goal?
To drive Gov. Gavin Newsom to political extinction through a recall election. Initially, the recall effort appeared promising. Not only were 2 million recall petition signatures delivered to the secretary of state’s office by March; 46 candidates qualified for the recall ballot. However, two major legal provisions helped protect the incumbent. The first was financial. Newsom was free to raise as much money as possible, but his recall challengers were forced to adhere to campaign finance laws that put limits on their spending. Gavin had the greenbacks — a total $58 million by the end of August. The second advantage for Team Newsom? Like the old saying, they could “mail it in.” Legislation mandated the mailing of ballots to all registered voters, whether or not they were requested. Vote by mail has been called “fraud by mail,” and irregularities occurred in this recall. KTLA Channel 5 reported that when voter Estelle Bender arrived at her polling place, she was told she had already cast a ballot. “They said, ‘You voted.’ I said, ‘No, I have not…’ So as I left, I did the provisional ballot. I was very angry. … If I voted, how did I vote?” In San Diego, three recall ballots were sent to the address of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran shot and killed at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6. She was in Washington to protest irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. Sept. 14 in California bears a certain resemblance to Nov. 3, 2020, across America. While Gavin Newsom’s victory was overwhelming, and in stark contrast to the razor-thin margins in several swing states last November, some observers are left with this overwhelming feeling: Either we institute common-sense election reforms and somehow restore civic virtue, or every American election may end up “Californicated.” J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 19952007.

Realtor reveals recent real estate numbers BY LISA BAKER
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Our local real estate market typically cools off going into fall — much more than our weather. And while we are seeing some numbers starting to change slightly like autumn leaves, there is no strong indication that we will see a significant drop anytime soon. The average number of days a listing spent on the market in Maricopa County increased again slightly, from 26.05 days in July to 27.2 days in August. According to The Cromford Report, PUZZLE ANSWERS
53% of sales closed in Maricopa County during August sold for over the listing price, down from 57% of July sales. One could argue that rising list prices account for more sales selling at and not over those prices, but a slight drop in sales price per square foot — from $260.60 per square foot in July versus $258.61 in August — makes a slightly different point. August saw 416 MLS listing sales closed in Glendale and 343 closed in Peoria. Today, there are 261 active and available listings (not counting properties already under contract or pending close of escrow) in MLS in Glendale and 218 active listings in Peoria.

That is 63% of one month’s inventory in Glendale, up from 59% last month, and 64% of one month’s inventory in Peoria, up from 56%. But while we see a little higher numbers in Peoria and Glendale, the overall Maricopa County inventory is 75% of August’s closed sales, up only from 73% in July. According to ShowingTime, the platform Realtors use to schedule most of the MLS showings, showings of Peoria listings in the $200,000 to $399,999 range had an average of 13.9 showings per listing, while homes in Glendale in the $200,000 to $399,999 range had an average number of 15.6 showings per listing. That’s still quite a bit of buyer activity, and not all showings are
scheduled through ShowingTime, so actual numbers are typically higher. According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are still holding steady. As of Sept. 16, National Mortgage Rates reported U.S. weekly averages of 2.86% for a 30-year fixed, 2.12 % for a 15-year fixed rate, and 2.51% for a five-year ARM. The buyers’ method of financing can affect how competitive their offers are, how much they will end up paying for a home, or if they can get an offer accepted on a qualifying property at all. According to MLS statistics, 74% of Maricopa County buyers financed their home purchase in August, while

the rest paid cash. Buyers using a conventional mortgage paid a minimum of $220,000 in Maricopa County, $250,000 in Glendale and $265,000 in Peoria. Buyers with these loans are more readily accepted by sellers, as they have fewer restrictions. Because of fewer restrictions, many properties qualify for a conventional loan that will not qualify for FHA or VA financing. Conventional financing made up 73.2% of August’s financed sales. In August, FHA buyers in Maricopa County paid a minimum of $200,000 for a detached home with three bedrooms and two baths. Peoria FHA buyers paid a minimum of $345,000, and Glendale FHA buyers $300,000. FHA buyers made up 9.1% of financed purchases in August, significantly fewer than the number of conventional buyers. Maricopa County VA buyers paid a minimum of $260,990, Glendale VA buyers paid a minimum of $315,000, and Peoria VA buyers a minimum of $350,000. Home sales financed with VA loans made up only 6.6% of Au-
gust sales. Unfortunately, offers with VA financing are often less likely to be accepted, especially in this hot housing market where conventional buyers are so plentiful. The remaining financed transactions used other financing methods. For the week ending Aug. 29, only 3% of Maricopa County sellers contributed to their buyer’s closing costs. At the other end of the market, the highest-priced detached home sale in Maricopa County last month closed at $9.6 million. Peoria’s highest price detached home sold for $1.55 million, and the highest price detached home in Glendale sold for $2.285 million.

Juarez looks back on U.S. softball career BY TYLER BUDGE
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Former ASU softball player Giselle Juarez went out on top in 2021 with a Women’s College World Series win and the series MVP. But the 23-yearold from Glendale isn’t ready to hang up her cleats just yet. Juarez, who graduated from Oklahoma in the spring, plans to continue her softball career overseas in the Japan Women’s softball league for the Toda Central General Hospital Medics. “I’m super excited just to learn from them. Everything they do is so smooth, during the Olympics just watching them compete and seeing some of the plays they made. I can’t wait to learn from some of these people,” Juarez said. While awaiting a visa to travel to play with her team, Juarez has reflected on her long and storied college career. “Just being able to play at the highest level was amazing, and now looking back and seeing that it’s over, obviously I see the posts of them practicing. It makes me nostalgic already, just like, oh, I want to be back playing,” Juarez said. The 2019 Big 12 pitcher of the year started her college career at ASU before transferring prior to her junior year to Oklahoma University. She then led Oklahoma to a Women’s College World Series win in her senior year, being named to the all-tournament team. “When I was transferring, I’m super blessed to have been able to go there and play and just for me being able to come back from my injury and compete at the highest level again at the World Series and then to end my career on the highest note,” Juarez said. Juarez battled through an injury her junior season that would have forced her to skip a season and play a fifth year. However, the 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19 and Juarez played with the seniors with whom she

went through her career. “To know that my fellow seniors were going to be able to come back with me was really awesome, because I couldn’t imagine finishing my career with anyone else,” Juarez said, “So, just having them by my side and knowing they were coming back, I was so grateful and so excited for them.” Juarez grew up in Glendale and graduated from Mountain Ridge High School. During her time there, the Mountain Lions won back-to-back softball state championships in 2014 and 2015. Coming out of high school, Juarez was ranked 45th in the 2016 softball class and was the first person in her family to graduate college. “As a student-athlete, I just got to be that first in my family. It means a lot for them and for myself just knowing that I was able to have that time management,” Juarez said. “Without softball, I
know it would have been harder for me to go to college, and I feel like I’m just really grateful that I have softball ability to compete and just get an education from using something I love.” Oklahoma was the runner-up in the season prior to the 2021 Women’s College World Series title. Juarez ended her career ranked second in opponent batting average in Oklahoma school history and second in winning percentage. Juarez’s success in college came full circle when she threw out the first pitch

at the Sept. 1 Diamondbacks game. “It was surreal, because I was a baseball fan growing up. My family’s from Chicago. So, for a while I was a Cubs fan but still growing up, and I used to go to the D-backs games and I was a huge fan of them growing up,” Juarez said. Juarez hopes to join her team in Japan as soon as her visa clears. “Softball is so huge in Japan,” Suarez said, “I’m excited just to learn their culture, to just be immersed in it, and that’s going to be super exciting.”

Wineland to debut songs at upcoming show BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Country singer Ashley Wineland says playing for a good cause is close to her heart. On Saturday, Oct. 30, she’s helping raise funds for Hunkapi Farms, while on Saturday, Nov. 6, she’ll perform for veterans.(Photo courtesy of Ashley Wineland)
Country singer Ashley Wineland has three national tours under her belt, but nothing compares to playing her hometown of Glendale. The Deer Valley High School graduate will perform her latest single, “Drive Me to Drink,” and other original songs during a 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, gig at Live! @ Murphy Park. “It’s exciting,” Wineland said. “I’ve always loved going to Downtown Glendale to enjoy all the activities and festivities they have out there. To go down to
Murphy Park and play my own show is something really special. Growing up, I would watch other people perform on that stage, and now it’s my turn.” The 23-year-old, who will soon release the album “I’m Gonna Ride,” grew up around country music. When she came home from grade school, her grandfather pulled her on his lap and sang country songs to her. “I have a special fondness for country music,” Wineland said. “I love to focus on stories of all different kinds. It’s the story of life. There’s a story for everybody in a country song. That’s what drew me into the genre as an art-
ist. It lends very well to my preferred artistic style and the sounds I enjoy playing around with.” Wineland has been a professional musician for eight years. She chalked up her experiences in school bands, choir, talent shows and classes to her success. “I really got to test the waters and try out different things,” she said. “It brought me so much joy and happiness. I knew this was something I really wanted to pursue long term.” She chose the correct career path. She has a dedicated following of more than 750,000 across her social media platforms and a SEE WINELAND PAGE 22

Lagos teacher shares her story in children’s book
BY PAUL MARYNIAK
Glendale Star Staff Writer
As a teacher at Kyrene de los Lagos Dual Language Academy in Ahwatukee, Diane Mylod shares the motto: “The power of two languages. The power of two worlds.” So, it is only natural that the Glendale native, who has lived in Ahwatukee for five years, chose to write a children’s book for her first foray into the world of authors, and penned Spanish and English versions. A three-year veteran at Kyrene who is in her ninth year of teaching, Mylod has published “The Avocado Tree” — a semi-autobiographical book that is as rich in personal history, as it is an introduction for little kids to lessons that will help them throughout their life. “It is a book about my father, his avocado tree and my avocado tree,” Mylod explained. “One tree is in Glendale and the other is in Ahwatukee. It is a true story about life, grieving, prosperity and life’s purpose.” Her dad passed away five years ago,
and she wrote it on his birthday, Sept. 15, last year. She released the book on that same date, on what would have been her father’s 75th birthday. Executing the book was a collaborative affair that pulled in her husband and sister-in-law as well as a colleague from Lagos Academy. Her husband Shayne Mylod and her Spanish teammate at Lagos, Andrea Perusquia, helped with the editing. And while her sister-in-law, Moriah Mylod-Daggett, also helped to edit, she had the big job of illustrating it. She said she and Moriah “took quite some time deciding what type of illustrations we were going to use — and it is another thing that makes this book very special.” “Each is unique and hand-painted with watercolors and based on real images,” Diane continued. “Moriah painted the images in expressionism to convey the vibrancy of emotions, thoughts and sensations behind the words that surround this heartfelt story of life legacy.”
Lagos Dual Language Academy teacher Diane Mylod says her first children’s book, “The Avocado Tree,” is as much about her life as it is about life in general. (Photo by Pablo Robles)
Moriah and Diane had known each other growing up in Glendale. “I was drawn to her art and personality,” Diane said. “She now lives in Jersey and teaches art therapy, helps vet-
erans in her community and is a yoga instructor.” It was only a matter of time that Diane also met Moriah’s brother, whom she SEE LAGOS PAGE 22

calls “my high school sweetheart.” “We met at Glendale High School and have been together for 20 years and married for 11,” Diane said. They have two sons, Justus, 10, and Roland, 6. David also coaches for the Ahwatukee Little League and has been its vice president of operations — a position he is leaving because his coaching responsibilities are increasing. The daughter of Guerrero, Mexico, natives who moved to Glendale in 1980, five years before she was born, Diane is one of eight children. “My mother never learned English, and my father worked hard to become a U.S. citizen and have his own ‘farm’ in our Glendale home,” she said.

consistent reach on Facebook that frequently surpasses the 1 million mark. Wineland is looking forward to playing for some of those fans in Glendale and Phoenix. On Saturday, Nov. 6, she’ll hit the Ak-Chin Pavilion stage in Phoenix with Big & Rich, Aaron Lewis and Eddie Montgomery for “A Salute to American Veterans.” “I grew up watching so many of those artists,” she said. “It’s so exciting to play with them. It’s a bucket list thing for me. It was exciting to have these sorts of shows on the books, too.” At both shows, Wineland will perform unreleased tracks as well as “Drive Me to Drink,” which was co-written by Bryan Kuban of Mesa. “I really wanted it to be a saloon Western, one of those spaghetti Western type of feel to it. It’s a song where if you walked into a saloon, it would be something you would hear. “I’m just excited to play Glendale. It’s in my backyard, so to speak. It’ll be nice to see my friends and family and a bunch of people who I’ve never met before. Please, come out and support live music. That’s the moral and the goal.”
September 23, 2021 into “The Avocado Tree” — a reason, she said, “Although the book is a children’s book, everyone should read it as it will touch the hearts of many. … I believe this book will help many people with rediscovering meaning and life’s purpose.” Meanwhile, she is working on a second children’s book that Perusquia will illustrate. “She was an art teacher before she became a Spanish teacher and has a very special Spanish style to her art,” Diane said. And she’s also started a young adult book. “That book will be about growing up in the ’90s and diversity,” she explained. “It is about creating yourself in a world where everyone can feel different and where there can be misunderstandings about cultures.” And she added, “That one is going to take a lot more time.” “The Avocado Tree” can be purchased on amazon.com or ingramspark.com.

We let the dog out One of my challenges as a speaker and writer is that some people think I’m an expert. Like me, many experts have more degrees than a thermometer in one area, but that doesn’t make us experts in everything. It’s easy for experts to believe their press. As a result, experts feel they have an excellent plan for our lives. However, many experts became “ex-spurts” after the whole truth became known. Consider this story. Once upon a time, a sheepherder was tending his sheep at the edge of a country road in rural Wyoming. A brandnew Land Rover screeched to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man, dressed in a costly suit and tie, designer shoes, Gucci sunglasses and a Rolex wristwatch, jumped out and asked the herder, “If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?” The herder looked at the young man, then looked at the sprawling herd of grazing sheep and said, “OK.” The young man parked his vehicle, connected his notebook and wireless modem, entered a NASA site, and scanned the ground using satellite imagery and a GPS. He opened a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then printed a 150-page report on his high-tech mini printer. Finally, he turned to the herder and said, “You have exactly 1,586 sheep here.” The herder answered, “Say, you’re right. Pick out a sheep.” The young man took one of the animals and put it in the back of his Jeep. As he was preparing to drive away, the herder looked at him and asked, “Now, if I guess your profession, will
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
you pay me back in kind?” “Sure!” the young man answered. “You’re a consultant.” “Exactly! How did you know?” the young man asked. “Very simple. First, you came here without being invited. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about my business, and I’d really like to have my dog back.” Notice the herder wasn’t impressed by the “give ’em the old razzle-dazzle” approach of the geeky, affluent “expert.” Why? He knew with flashy consultants more is said than done. The herder depended on his “thinker” rather than his “feeler.” The excellent presentation didn’t spellbind him, because it was an excellent presentation. Just because something looks cool doesn’t mean it’s true. Charles Spurgeon said, “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. Discernment is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” A Native American elder once described his inner struggles about what he sees and feels going around him in this manner: “Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time.” When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, “The
one I feed the most.” Look at the title of this article again. Notice I started with two dog ideas. Now comes the third dog concept of this article. Remember the song that asks, “Who let the dogs out?” I agree with the Native American elder. We let the dog out of us that we have fed the most. But it affects us and others also, constructively or destructively. And many powerful voices are trying to influence you to feed the destructive dog inside of you. A wise man once said, “Be careful who you let on your ship, because some people will sink the whole ship just because they can’t be the captain.” Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted (mean dog) whenever I am contradicted.” Choose to be teachable, not offended. The good dog in you chews up the meat and spits out the bones. Accept that you have some toxic traits, too. It’s not always the other person. Would you like some calm in the chaos? Start feeding the good dog. Someone once said, “I’m not interested in whether the glass is half empty or half full. I’m interested in figuring out how to fill the glass.” I like that. You glow differently when you have good people with honorable, truthful and good intentions in your life. The mean dog says everything is canceled. Not true! Sunshine is not canceled. Spring is not canceled. Love is not canceled. Relationships are not canceled. Reading is not canceled. Naps are not canceled. Devotion is not canceled. Music is not canceled. Dancing is not canceled. Imagination is not canceled. Kindness is not canceled. Conversations are not canceled. Hope is not canceled. Truth is not canceled. Don’t let the cancel culture, FOMO or
social media madness cancel the good dog in you. Think of this. Your terrible job is the dream of almost every unemployed. Your house is the dream of nearly every homeless. Your smile is the dream of practically every depressed. Your health is the dream of almost every chronically ill person. Your lifestyle is the dream of somebody else. So don’t let difficult times make you forget your blessings. Don’t think like everyone else. When you operate in your gift, you don’t have to be at the head of the table, for wherever you sit or stand, the table and the room will shift to you. If you’re not willing to feed the good dog in you, no one can help you. But, if you are eager to learn to feed the good dog in you, nothing and no one can stop you. We let the dog out. It’s our choice. Do you know what that good dog is? It’s God’s nature built into us all. Let God reveal it to you and others. Remember, the giant in front of you is never bigger than the God who lives inside you. So, learn to discern the next time a “razzle-dazzle” expert comes to you without being invited, telling you something you know is not valid, and get your good dog back.

Mountain Ridge High School graduate Rachel Carey learned to skate and competed at AZ Ice in Peoria. She continued to compete for ASU, and just when she was preparing to graduate, she received an offer of a lifetime: a gig with Disney on Ice. Carey will return home to perform in “Disney on Ice Presents Let’s Celebrate” at the Footprint Center in Phoenix from Thursday, Sept. 30, to Sunday, Oct. 3. “I love coming home and spending time with my family and seeing my friends from back home,” said Carey, who teaches ice skating at AZ Ice when she’s not working. “This is the first time I’m performing in Phoenix in the three years I’ve been with Disney on Ice.” The ice skating show features Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and an ensemble of Disney princesses. Moments from films like Disney Pixar’s “Finding Dory” and Disney’s “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” will be recreated through 14 classic and modern stories. Inspired by her sister Chelsea, a fel-

In the “Toy Story” segment, she stars as Little Bo Peep. “It’s so exciting because I get to perform for people and bring smiles to audiences across every show we do,” said Carey, calling from Ellenton, Florida, where she was rehearsing. “It’s fun to skate with all of your friends. It’s such a freeing feeling for me. It’s a good escape.”

Anne Bates Burke
Anne Bates Burke, age 86, was called home to be with Jesus on Thursday, September 9, 2021. She was the second of four children born to Albert and Virginia Sahr in Evanston, Illinios on May 29, 1935. She was the loving wife to the late Donald K Burke and loving mother to four children. She will be greatly missed. The Sahr family moved from Illinois to Long Beach, California where Anne attended high school. It was in Long Beach that Anne met her future husband, Don Burke. They were married in 1953 and raised four children in the Antelope Valley in California. While working as a full-time mother and wife, Anne attended classes and became a Licensed Vocational Nurse. She spent many years working at this profession while continuing daily to pour her life into her family. In 1980, Don and Anne moved to Wickenburg, Arizona and founded The Chaparral Ice Cream store. They continued in this business for several years and then moved to Peoria, Arizona. They attended Glendale Christian Church, where Anne sang in the choir and attended faithfully after Don’s passing in 2005. Anne is survived by her sister Mary, her four children Daniel, Gerald, Susan and Glen, as well as thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Rest well, Anne, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma. You were saved by the Grace of God and lived by the same. Your legacy will continue.

This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/ cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine.
