The Cromford Report earlier this month said that Queen Creek, Buckeye and Mar icopa have become the most attractive areas for homebuyers to score a big deal while Phoenix is among the cities where buyers will have to wait a month before they can try to barter their way to a better deal.The balance between supply and de mand is now so tilted toward buyers that they could be now calling the shots in Buckeye, Queen Creek and Maricopa, the Cromford Report said, adding that it may depend on their experience in the real es tate“Heregame.buyers now hold a distinct nego tiating advantage and have a total of 2,243 active single-family detached listings to choose from,” it said. “This compares with 675 just three months ago.

The Cromford Report identified five other communities whether neither buyer nor seller has a distinct advantage in sale negotiations. They include Tempe, Chan dler, Surprise, Peoria and Gilbert. But it’s sellers in those five areas that need to be a little nervous, it added.

“Because the majority of these areas cater largely to first-time buyers who are less experienced, it can take a few weeks for these buyers to realize how strong a hand of cards they hold.”

MARKETS uation is very fluid and slipping away from them,” the report said. “At the current rate of change, Gil bert will become a buyer’s market by the end of the first week in August. Tempe is only a day or two behind Gilbert, while Surprise, Chandler and Peoria will probably become buyer’s markets by mid-August.”

As for Phoenix, it’s in the same boat as Glendale and Mesa in Cromford Re port’sTheyopinion.“areseller’s markets but within a couple of days will enter the balance zone between 90 and 110. At the cur rent rate of change, they will become buyer’s market before the end of Au gust. Goodyear and Avondale are two weeks behind these but unlikely to be still seller’s market by the end of next month.”FourValley cities — Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Cave Creek — are in a different situation and, in a way, a different world from the average buyer and seller. Those four communities are large ly considered in the domain of luxury housing, where homes $1.5 million and above have not been tilting as sharply and quickly from a sellers’ to a buy ers’ market as the rest of the Valley, according to the report. However, the Cromford Report said Scottsdale is appearing, as it will soon join the overall trend dominating the rest of the Valley.

It also said the rapid growth in inven tory might slow down soon but without a corresponding uptick in demand. “What is going to re-start demand?” it asked. “The most obvious answers are that either interest rates have to come down or home prices have to come down. Either or both of these can increase demand so we can get back to a balanced market again.”

“There were only 2,248 single-fami ly permits issued in June, which is the lowest monthly total since May 2020,” the Cromford Report said. At the same time, multifamily devel opers aren’t slowing down at all and are at what the Cromford Report called “a full-bore gung-ho status.”

In the first six months of this year, a record 8,640 multi-family permits were issued in Maricopa and Pinal counties.“Lastyear there were 6,871 at the same point and that was considered a lot,” the Cromford Report said. “There were 1,890 issued in June, making it the fourth busiest month ever.”

The Cromford Report also suggested bigger changes in the Valley’s housing market could occur before the end of the“Pricesyear. have looked wobbly for the last two months,” it said. “But as buyers start to flex their muscles, we should be prepared for more serious consequences. While we cannot fore cast accurately several months out, it would be reasonable based on current trends to expect significant declines in average prices, median prices and av erage price per square foot by the end of 2022.

Builders apparently are slowly react ing to the changing housing scene. “Single-family permits are now dropping in response to the weak de mand but probably not as fast as they should,” the Cromford Report said. It reported that as of June 30, 17,788 single-family building permits have been issued so far this year in Mar icopa and Pinal counties year to date — down only slightly from 18,803 last year for the first six months of 2021.

Let me begin by saying that this is not a column about golf, though it begins with a story involving golf. Or, to be specific, a thought about golf. I was catching up with a buddy from high school, lamenting the state of man kind: politics, the workplace, gender re lations, sports. Our friendship spans four decades, so we had a lot of complaining to do. We also share a golf addiction, so naturally the game was a topic. Nongolfers, far more sane than actu al golfers, having not subjected them selves to torturous years of chasing a dimpled white ball over hills, through deserts, into lakes and bushes, behind trees, and occasionally into holes in the ground, often ask golfers, “What the hell do you see in the game? It looks miserable.”I’venever had the perfect answer, un til that talk. I haven’t experienced many epiphanies, but this was one. Golf is loveable for the exactly the same rea son so many of us detest everything else, from MAGA loons vs. progressive scolds, the latest episode of “Love Is land,” Hollywood preaching, Inflation Reduction Acts that won’t reduce infla tion, election controversies, Supreme Court controversies, and even the PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf controversy. Playing golf involves zero bull. Un like virtually everything else in the 21st century. You swing, you hit the ball, you count a stroke. Tally the strokes, that’s your score. The ball goes in the hole or not.

Unlike, say, casting your election bal lot. Which may be a vote or may not, depending on which political party you’re in and whether your preferred candidate wins the election. Or wishing a barista “good morning,” which risks using the wrong pronoun and creating a controversy where you only meant to be kind. Or deciding whether or not to pay an exorbitant sum to see Bruce Spring steen, because being ripped off by the voice of the working man would still get you in to hear “Born to Run” live — a bucket list item — but also subject you to a lengthy political rant, which you would absolutely file under B. Not for Bruce or for Boss. But under B for “more bull.” Over time, I seem to have shifted away from doing things that will likely deliver more such nonsense: scrolling social media, watching or reading the news, going to Fourth of July barbecue picnics, striking up a conversation in line at Bashas’. Instead, I try to hit golf balls on all the days of the week that end in the letter -y. The sand shot rises out of the bunker and nestles beside the hole

Golf is a game of simple truth, unlike the rest of the 21st century

Why do designers charge exorbitant prices for purses?

Iwent purse shop ping. Yes, my eyes have been opened because I have seen the purse promised land. Husbands, please stop reading this column right now, be cause what I am about to say might be alarming. Ladies’ handbags cost a king’s ransom. Why? Well, I am not an investi gative reporter, so I have no idea why so many purses start out at around $250 and then head north into the thousands. The sky’s the limit. I have a girlfriend who is an attorney and has a Hermes bag that costs 10 big ones (that’s $10,000). Oh, and she makes no excuses for spending a pile of money on a handbag. She sim ply says, “I like quality.” Ha! I told her I thought $10K should be “illegal” to spend on a handbag. A friend in Scottsdale took me into an “exclusive” handbag shop where I thought I had entered a purse museum. The lighting was bright, spotters shin ing on racks of perfectly stacked leather handbags. Was I in a gallery? The dis plays, purses artfully sitting on glass shelves, made us wonder, “Am I in the Louvre?” Did I mention you better have $450 to $5,000 to even consider buying one of these “masterpieces”? What’s in your wallet? OK, I meant to ask what’s in your handbag. Because some of these purses I saw on my purse expedition are large enough to pack for a week! Ladies, what are we carry ing around in these suitcase-size bags? Although I didn’t buy anything, I have seen the fantasy land of purses. And I probably will never go back. But one can dream. Leather as soft as butter, handmade clasps of 24-carat gold, or crocodile skin with 10 carats of white diamonds!Ifclothes make the man, then hand bags must make the woman. Ameri cans spend around $11 billion annually on purses! The average woman has 13 handbags and buys three a year. One in 10 women spend more than a thousand bucks on their purses, but the average price is around $160. That’s a whole lot of dough going into the sack that carries our dough. Hmmm, if we keep spend ing all of our money on purses, we may not need them! We will be broke! I told my husband, Doug, what ladies spend on their handbags and he accused me of making it up. No, I am not making this up! The evidence is clear: Women love purses and will pay dearly for them! How about a Balenciaga purse that costs $1,800 and looks exactly like a Hefty trash bag that even cinches at the top? A hit on the runway in Paris, now coming to a store near you. Have some ladies lost their minds? My cultural ex ploration into the world of purse buy ing left me giggling and empty handed. Brand names? For those who care it re ally matters. Quality? It comes at a price that few of us can afford. Price? Beyond comprehension.Dearreaders,my “purse research” did help reinforce one truth. The best things in life are free. Unless you like Gucci. PT

8 Peoria Times August 25, 2022OPINION BY J.D. HAYWORTH Peoria Times Columnist

Whoever said that dential“presipol itics is two-thirds the ater” and that the White House is a grand stage should have tak en a closer look at the other end of Penn sylvania Avenue. There, on Capitol Hill, sits an institu tion called the “world’s greatest delib erative body” by some and the “world’s most exclusive club” by others. You know it best by its proper name: the U.S. AmongSenate.the100 who serve are more than a handful who readily embrace the spectacle, pomp and prestige that comes with the title of “senator.”

The late Robert C. Byrd of West Vir ginia often spoke of the Senate as if he had confused both time and place. That was not due to diminished cognitive skills, though his Senate service spanned more than a half-century and concluded with his death in 2010. Instead, it was due to his inflated sense of status about both the institution and his own reputa tionByrdthere.would employ his photograph ic memory and excessive sense of selfworth to recount episodes of political antiquity from the Roman Senate, cre ating word pictures recalling a group clad in togas, philosophizing and fili bustering. That “Byrd’s-eye” view was cinematic in scope — a combination of “Ben-Hur,” “Gladiator” and (surprising ly — or not) “Animal House.”

While the Washington Press Corps is excessively accommodating to Demo crats, most political reporters are some what befuddled by Arizona’s senior sen ator and the mega dollars stuffed into her political war chest by hedge fund man agers and their ultra-wealthy associates.

Of course, the perceptions of a parti san press aren’t as important to Sinema’s political viability as are the reactions of the folks back home… and it is readily apparent that what Washington might collectively regard as Kyrsten’s “LBJ moment” isn’t a good look for her at all in What’sArizona.good for Wall Street is not necessarily good for Main Street or for your street… and it is absolutely objec tionable on most streets within the city limits of Flagstaff, Tempe and Tucson. But it isn’t just the indoctrinated as opposed to educated from our state-sup ported universities who take umbrage; concern is also found among those from the School of Hard Knocks, who have invested their own sweat equity in “bootstrap” businesses and “mom-andpop” enterprises, only to see a Sine ma-sponsored provision eliminate a proposed “carried interest” tax increase on well-heeled and passive private equi ty investors. So the high-finance crowd will enjoy a $35 billion exemption that won’t exempt other corporations… or several small businesses.

“Sinema took Wall Street money while killing tax on investors,” reads the headline from the Aug. 13 article written by the AP’s Brian Slodysko, and prospective opponents read it as a real opportunity — including possible oppo nents from within Sinema’s own party.

A cinematic Senate? Better check the spelling… It’s really a “Sinemat ic Senate” these days, courtesy of Ari zona’s Kyrsten Sinema. She came into the chamber with her own sense of Hollywood fashion and attitude, wear ing thigh-high boots like Jane Fonda’s “Barbarella,” employing a persona akin to Sigourney Weaver in “Alien” and, most recently, enacting a controversial high-finance provision that would warm the cold, calculating heart of Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in “Wall Street.”Sinema named a price for supporting Joe Biden’s inaccurately named Infla tion Reduction Act, insisting on lower taxes — not for everyday Americans, but for the rich and famous.

But the $983,000 she has collected since last summer more than doubled what the industry do nated to her during all of her preceding years in Congress combined…” Kyrsten’s calculation? Sinema is comfortable collecting all that cash, because she considers it a “wise investment” that will help her stay in the Senate. Besides, the Demo crat leadership there won’t desert her in the event of an intraparty challenge back home.Talk is cheap… mounting a successful challenge to an incumbent senator isn’t. Right now there’s a lot of chatter sur rounding Rep. Ruben Gallego and the predictable progressive posturing fea tured on the thinning pages of The Ar izona Republic… but when push comes to shove, will Congressman Gallego give up a safe seat in the House for a high-risk Senate run?

The good news is PAD is treatable in an office setting. Dr. Joel Rainwater, MD endovascular specialist explains, “We go into the bloodstream to find the blockage using imaging guidance. Then with small tools that can go into the smallest arteries, remove the blockage, and restore blood flow.”

Getting the proper diagnosis is the first step to getting better. “It’s all about find ing out what’s causing the problem,” says Zang. “When your feet burn, tingle, or feel numb, it’s your body telling you it needs help, and you should listen.” If your neuropathy medication is not working, your symptoms may be an indication of another condition.

It’s important to determine if PAD (pe ripheral artery disease) is causing the pain or making it worse. PAD is plaque in the arteries which causes poor circulation.

On top of that, the wines that will be found at Turquoise will not be eas ily found anywhere else in the Valley. Sinconis said she is working with more boutique-style winemakers.

“Most of our distribution partners are smaller,” she said. “We are working with more boutique winemakers and boutique distributors. We are a very re lationship-driven business. The (wines) that are going into the big chains —

“There aren’t not a lot of good places to go to drink wine in this area,” Sin conis said. “But also, there is not a lot to do for couples if you want to go out, you can go out to eat dinner… but there aren’t a lot of experiences. So, we just want to bring a place where people can come in, be a part of a wine club, have the ability to go to events, do classes and really bring this experience.”

Aside from the affordability, Tur quoise’s business model is unlike what the wine world typically offers to pa trons. It separates its wine cellar and tasting room to bring variety in its flights and by-the-glass pours, while still offering wine by the bottle. Bringing this model to the West Val ley is something Sinconis is excited about. She sees Glendale and the West Valley as a quickly growing area.

Turquoise won’t stop at its wine cel lar and tasting room. It will also offer mimosa flights and brunch boards on Sundays, Wine 101 educational courses and a “Passport Series,” where people can taste the same varietal from differ ent regions from around the world to see how geography affects the taste of the“Thesewine. are things that people can sign up for to have a little more of an interac tive experience,” Sinconis said.

An avid lover of wine, Sinconis doesn’t bring wine-making experience to her business, but she did take wine education courses. In addition, she does have 24 years of experience in the world of coffee. She said it is “totally differ ent, but also very, very similar.”

In addition to its wine cellar and tasting room, Turquoise Wine Cellar and Tasting Room will offer have small bites and desserts to pair with its expansive wine selection. (Turquoise Wine Cellar and Tasting Room/Submitted)

“I like to say we’re like the neighbor hood drug dealer,” Sinconis said. “Once you come shop with us, you’re not go ing to be able to go buy wine anywhere else, because you will be jaded. We have amazing wines, and the prices, be cause we’re going super low markup, on our wall is really meant to let anybody come in and explore what we have.”

“People are moving here; this area is just exploding,” she added. “I see peo ple from Washington, Oregon and Cal ifornia just moving to this side of the Valley in droves, and from what I can tell, they all have a similar reaction to what I did, is, ‘Oh, my god, there’s no wine.’ So, I think the need is there.”

Turquoise will be offering two month ly wine club options as well. The first, dubbed “The Explorer,” gives two bot tles per month of either the red or white varietals. The second, “The Somm,” gives two bottles of red and two bottles of white, or four bottles in total. Re gardless, there will not be any markup price on the wine, so the price of the wine club is dependent on which wines areInselected.addition, Turquoise will be hosting optional wine club events once month ly, where wine club members can pick up their monthly selections, do some tasting, and learn more about the wine maker whose wine is the club’s monthly varietal.“It’llbe a fun, social thing you can do if you’re a part of the club,” Sinconis said. “You could also not do the social things and just pick up your wine and enjoy it on your own, too.”

T

he West Valley is getting an ad dition to its wine scene. Set to open its doors Wednes day, Aug. 31, Turquoise Wine Cellar and Tasting Room is looking to share its passion for wine and offer opportu nities to explore varietals from around the world in an approachable way.

“Everything about it is supposed to be an experience super approachable, budget friendly, a way to come in and explore and come back and keep explor ing because we have so many options,” owner Jen Sinconis said. “But also, the ambiance is going to be super cool.” Sinconis moved to the Valley from the Seattle area in 2020 and quickly re alized that the options for wine tasting in the area were few and far between. She and her former neighbor, and now friend, Laura Hernandez are looking to change that.

“We are really looking for something that’s more of an experience,” Sinconis said. “We have a lot of restaurants here that have wine menus. I’m not going to say they’re good or bad, but this is re ally meant to be more of a wine expe rience.“It’s just meant to bring people in and have a whole experience about wine that doesn’t exist out here at the moment.”

“You just look at agriculture and growing something and going through the hurdles of an agricultural product and how weather impacts it,” she said. “Also, the way that you look at tasting and how you smell and really develop kind of an affinity for something. It’s farm to Turquoisetable.”is set to carry more than 250 wines from all over the world at an affordable price. Being affordable is a huge part of its business model. Sinco nis said most wine bars have their wine prices at a huge markup, which forces patrons to go to Safeway or Total Wine to buy wine in bulk.

The Passport Series allows people to taste the same va rietal from different regions from around the world to see how geography affects the taste of the wine. Cellar Tasting Room/Submitted)

“People are just really starved for this type of thing out here. I’m very hopeful that it’s going to be like, ‘Oh, this is ex actly what the community needed.’”

BY JORDAN ROGERS

Catch up on Local

The ceremony, which will take place at halftime of the team’s regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 11, at State Farm Sta dium, will make it official.

Bidwill, who passed away in Octo ber of 2019 at the age of 88, had a life long association with the Cardinals that spanned eight decades. After his father, Hall of Fame owner Charles W. Bidwill Sr., purchased the team, Bill worked as a ball boy when he was a child. Upon graduating from Georgetown University and serving in the U.S. Navy, he took on a full-time role with the Cardinals in 1960. He was often recognized for his contributions and accomplishments as Cardinals owner. In 2017, he was en shrined in the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, which honors those who have made significant contributions to the state’s athletics community. In 2010, he was inducted into the Sports Faith Hall of Fame in Lake Forest, Ill. Finally, at its December 2010 commencement exercises, Northern Arizona Universi ty awarded him an honorary doctor of humane letters degree for “his contribu tions to the university, his community and his Duringprofession.”histimeas owner, he was also at the forefront of diversity in employ ment practices, which was evidenced by the hiring of the NFL’s first African American female executive, Adele Har ris; first African American contract ne gotiator, Bob Wallace; and first African American head coach/general manager tandem, Dennis Green and Rod Graves. In addition, the team established the Bill Bidwill Coaching Fellowship in 2015 to increase diversity and provide opportunities to gain NFL coaching experience. At the 2010 annual NFL Combine in Indianapolis, he was hon ored with the Paul “Tank” Younger Award from the Fritz Pollard Alliance, whose purpose is to promote diversity and equality of job opportunity in the NFL.He will become the 19th individu al inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor, created in 2006. Cardinals add depth at tight end and on the offensive line The Arizona Cardinals recently add ed tight end Josh Hokit and offensive lineman Cody Ford. Hokit, who spent the past two sea sons on the San Francisco 49ers’ prac tice squad after entering the league as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2020 with the 49ers from Fresno State, was signed from free agency. While at Fresno State, Hokit spent four seasons on both the football and wrestling teams from 2016 to 2019. He played 44 games as a fullback and rushed for 1,260 yards and 17 touch downs on 303 carries, while catching 38 passes for 260 yards and a touch down.Hokit was also a two-time All-Amer ica selection as a wrestler, earning trips to the NCAA Championship in both his junior and senior seasons. Ford was acquired via trade with the Buffalo Bills. The Cardinals sent a 2023 fifth-round draft pick to the Bills in Fordexchange.played 38 games (29 starts) the past three seasons with Buffalo after he was selected 38th overall in the sec ond round of the 2019 NFL Draft from Oklahoma.Acollege teammate of Kyler Murray and Marquise Brown with the Soon ers, Ford played 15 games last season and made seven starts at guard. The 25-year-old Ford has experience start ing at both guard and tackle in his NFL career, including starting 15 games at right tackle as a rookie in 2019. PT Peoria

“Up until now the diagnoses have been all over the place, and based on symptoms rather than whole complex causes,” Burns said.

Burns has sought help for his symp toms since his early 20s, and was diagnosed with depression, PTSD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disor der, severe social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia. None brought a long-term solution.

Armstrong said “no one would hire me” because of her symptoms, and when she applied for Social Security disability, she was denied.

“With it not being an officially rec ognized diagnosis, there’s nothing to support my, you know, my experienc es,” Armstrong said recently. PTSD symptoms do not fully en compass what complex PTSD suffer ers experience. Ford said they have added symptoms of emotional dys regulation, feeling like they have no worth as a person, and having difficul ty in their relationships due to emo tional detachment, setting them apart from other diagnoses.

O

Dr. Julian Ford, a clinical psychol ogist and professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, said that many times clinicians under stand and use the concepts of complex PTSD but record it as PTSD. That’s what happened for Mary Armstrong, a Virginia resident who said two separate mental health pro fessionals told her she had CPTSD but that her official diagnosis remains PTSD. That lets her get access to some treatments, but not enough for the ac commodations she said she needs.

Herman thinks the resistance to di agnosing people with CPTSD has to do with the fact that those trained in the mental health field “learn very lit tle about “Peopletrauma.”willassociate it (trauma) with combat, but not necessarily with the violence of everyday life,” Her man said. “I think it is going to require much more active incorporation into pro fessional education” for practitioners to understand that any trauma that in volves abuse is complex trauma, she said.Ford said an important distinction from PTSD is how the trauma hap pens: Complex PTSD is “trauma with victimization or betrayal.”

BY ELSA HORTAREAS Cronkite

Complex PTSD finally has a name; now those living with it want acceptance

First identified in 1988, CPTSD was not added to the World Health Organi zation’s International Classification of Diseases until 2019 — the same year Burns did his research — and that list ing only became official this year. The WHO listing “is especially im portant for these patients because they are so often misdiagnosed,” said Ju dith Herman, the psychologist who first described complex PTSD in 1988.But Burns and other sufferers say that, even with official WHO recogni tion, they still struggle to get the right diagnosis and treatment for a little-un derstood disease. That affects not only their ability to get proper treatment but also to get disability, insurance and other support.

“I’ll be able to maintain this sort of functional facade for a couple of years, and then boom, it hits me again,” said Burns, who has had to take leave from work when his symptoms worsened. Nothing was helping. He tried dif ferent therapies, which made him worse.“We’re diagnosing all of these, you know, individual symptoms and throwing pills and treatments at all

ver more than 30 years, Peoria resident Michael Burns was diagnosed with everything from ADHD to PTSD to depression, but it was not until he did his own re search that he found a diagnosis that fit: complex PTSD. When he showed his research to his clinicians, they agreed he was the poster child for the condition, defined as post-traumatic stress disorder with “trauma with victimization or betray al” as its cause.

“The only thing that links my trau matic experiences together, maybe, is that virtually all of them begin and end with somebody in a position of authority,” said Burns, who said he had a troubled childhood and several other traumatic events.

Herman said misdiagnosed complex PTSD can lead to a patient getting prescribed too many drugs. Burns is familiar, having been prescribed sev eral antidepressants and anxiety drugs over the years. He is growing frustrat ed with the system.

“I can’t work. I can’t fix this. Drugs aren’t working. Nothing’s helping. My therapist bails; now I got to find another one,” he said. Besides leading to the wrong treat ments, a lack of a CPTSD diagnosis can also make it harder for people to get what they think may be the right treatment.JeniceHughes is a nurse-anesthetist at Scottsdale Ketamine Clinic, which offers treatment for CPTSD, but said it is currently “considered an off-label use so insurances and stuff have got ten away from having to pay for it.”

“The cost of the treatment is actual ly a limiting factor very often, and so a lot of times that’s why people you know don’t get treated,” Hughes said. Burns found an inpatient treatment he wanted to try, but the cost put it out of the question.

“I still have a 20% co-pay, coupled with the fact that many of the trauma specialists that I’m seeking out spe cifically may not take insurance,” he said. “In fact, most of them don’t.”

Both Burns and Armstrong said, now that CPTSD is recognized by the WHO, they will keep pressing for wider recognition and keep pushing for a proper diagnosis of their own cases. But Burns, who said he has spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to get treatment, said he can’t imagine things getting better unless “a multitude of miracles occur.”

As for Culverhouse, with the proper CPTSD diagnosis, things are looking up.“I’ve been on a better track, and I definitely really experienced more self love, more self acceptance,” she said. For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org.

The Bible says men’s love will grow cold in the last days. But the Bible also says that love is patient, love is kind. So, if love grows cold, that necessari ly means that kindness will grow cold, too. So, how do we overcome that propensity? By overcoming a lack of empathy with a generous dose of kind ness. You know how that works; fight the “Tommy Bolt” propensity in you with the “caddie” propensity. Don’t go to the dark side. Go to the light and right side of things. Remember, an of fense is an event. Becoming offended KINDNESS

Genuine kindness W. G.

Peoria Times Columnist

Consider this. Kindness is anything that lifts another person. A wise person once said that it’s nice to be important but more important to be nice. So being nice and listening to those around us might avoid some em barrassment and even make us some money.Forexample, when Tommy Bolt was on the golf tour, he established a well-deserved reputation for his tem per. Once in a tournament, he drew a caddie who had a reputation for being a talker, so Bolt told him to keep quiet and restricted his conversation to “Yes, Mr. Bolt” and “No, Mr. Bolt.” As luck would have it, one of Bolt’s shots stopped close to a tree. He had to hit the ball under a branch and over a lake to reach the green. He carefully analyzed the situation and made his de cision. However, as it frequently hap pens, halfway talking to his caddie and halfway talking to himself, he asked, “Should I hit it with my 5-iron?” Hav ing been duly warned, the caddie re sponded, “No, Mr. Bolt.” Bolt’s temper and pride prompted him to say, “What do you mean, not a 5-iron? Just watch this shot!” The caddie, still following instructions, said, “No, Mr. Bolt!” But Bolt wasn’t listening. He took dead aim and hit the shot beautifully to the green. It stopped a couple of feet from the hole. With a look of self-sat isfaction, Bolt handed the caddie his 5-iron and commented, “What do you think about that? And it’s OK for you to talk now.” “Mr. Bolt, that wasn’t your ball,” the caddie responded. Hitting the wrong ball cost Tom my Bolt a two-shot penalty and lots of money. The takeaway is to be nice to people, especially those who serve you. And listen to what they say. This story is from Zig Ziglar’s book “Some thing to Smile About.” Here’s a poem by Danusha Laméris on the value of small kindnesses from her book “Small Kindnesses.”

“I’ve been thinking about how when you walk down a crowded aisle, and people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say ‘bless you’ when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. ‘Don’t die,’ we are saying.“And sometimes, when you spill lemons from your grocery bag, some one else will help you pick them up. But, mostly, we don’t want to harm each other. We want our cup of coffee hot and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder and for the driv er in the red pickup truck to let us pass. “We have so little of each other now. We are so far from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make togeth er when we say, ‘Here, have my seat,’ ‘Go ahead — you first,’ ‘I like your hat.’” Here are some thoughts about kind ness. “The only ones you should try to get even with are the ones who have helped you.” Benjamin Franklin said, “When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.” “Be kind to people until you make your first million. After that, people will be nice to you.” “Nev er return a kindness. Pass it on.” Here’s a child’s prayer on being nice. “Dear God, make all the bad people good and all the good people nice.”

KINDNESS FROM PAGE 19 is a choice. Learn the difference. C. Neil Strait says, “Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is any thing that lifts another person.” How ever, you cannot do kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late. The Psalmists said this about God, “Thy loving-kindness is better than life.” God doesn’t just show us kind ness. God shows us loving-kindness and thoughtfulness. How do you de scribe loving-kindness? Here’s how a little boy describes it. The teacher asked the pupils to tell the meaning of loving-kindness. A lit tle boy jumped up and said, “Well, if I was hungry and someone gave me a piece of bread, that would be kindness. But if they put a little jam on it, that would be Wouldn’tloving-kindness.”itberefreshing to change from indifference or rudeness to kind ness? Our parched culture is desperate for kindness. Bob Costas says, “Cham pions don’t become champions on the field — they are merely recognized there.”Wouldn’t it be “loverly” if a whole generation of kindness champions qui etly moved the idea of kindness from the outside to the inside of themselves? And when these “kindness carriers and couriers” began to transform the cul ture of education, business, church, government and media, perhaps it could change or elevate the world. Genuine kindness is an excellent medicine for an ailing society, city or nation. My advice is to apply kindness — and apply kindness generously. PT Community College its

“There are so many different learn ing styles out there, and I feel like for so many years, it’s just been the tradi tion: You learn out of a textbook, you take a test, you listen to a lecture, you take a test on it,” Director of Educa tion Stephen Hohendorf said. “Theater can appeal to a broader audience, and being able to see things tangibly, right in front of you acted out, sometimes it’s easier to pick up on things. I think theater is just an important tool in gen eral.”Arizona Broadway Theatre (ABT) was established in 2005. The profes sional theater showcases locally and nationally acclaimed artists and offers youth programming sustained by com munity support, such as Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA). The program, which is in the midst of a post-pandemic revamp to make it more accessible for teenagers, is aim ing to produce shows that align with material that students are currently studying in the classroom. The goal is to provide another method of learning.

Peoria Unified School District provides laptops for each of its students

For the first time, Arizona Broad way Theatre is using the power of performing arts to enrich Peo ria students’ education. Through its Theatre for Young Au diences program, the theater is pro ducing three productions during its 2022-23 season to serve as educational tools and engage local students in per forming arts. The program is kicking off its efforts with “The Great Gatsby” in September, following with “Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas” in December and “A Year with Frog and Toad” in April.

Unified’s information man agement and technology (IMT) de partment received the first shipment of laptops back in February and worked throughout the summer to prepare the laptops for Peoria Unified students for the start of the upcoming school year.“Our IMT department has been hard at work since February imaging and preparing laptops so that students can use them this fall at the start of the school year,” said Mike Treguboff, di rector of IMT network operations. “We are excited for all students in kindergar ten through 12th grade to use these lap tops and have access to resources they may not have otherwise.”

For more information about the Peo ria Unified’s Strategic Plan, visit the district’s website at peoriaunified.org/ strategicplan. PT

Students in younger grade levels may keep their assigned laptops at their re spective schools to be checked out during the school day, whereas older students will be able to bring their lap tops home each evening to continue their schoolwork. Schools will be com municating that process to the appropri ate grade levels this fall. The implementation of dis trictwide laptops is part of the district’s four-part Strategic Reset Plan, falling under the Student Success and Steward ship of Resources perspective that en sures all students receive the resources needed to be successful.

To put into perspective how much time the district’s IMT department put into the laptop implementation, each laptop takes approximately two hours to image and make ready for stu dent use. This equals to about 60,000 to tal hours of the IMT department’s time to ensure all Peoria Unified students receive equitable access to technology.

“A part of what I wanted to do with my position is create strong relation ships with our community, and in our community is the Peoria school dis trict,” Hohendorf said. “I met with them late last year, and we talked about different ways we could help each oth er out. One thing we came up with was looking at what they’re learning in their classroom and how we can create educational tools through theater.” TIMES STAFF

Thanks to a grant from the Fed eral Communications Commis sion (FCC), the Peoria Unified School District will be able to provide a laptop to every student in kindergar ten through 12th grade for school use during the 2022-23 school year. This initiative is made possible by the FCC Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) to help schools provide tools and services during the COVID-19 emer gency period. Peoria Unified applied for these funds, and the district was able to purchase nearly 30,000 laptops for stu dentPeoriause.

In addition to enhancing their ed ucation, Hohendorf looks forward to students discovering different aspects of theater that they may not have been aware of. Ultimately, he would like them to leave inspired to explore po tential careers in performing arts.

“I’m just so passionate about the ater, and it was such an important part of my life growing up,” he said. “So being able to expose as many people as possible to the positive effects of it is just really incredible and really ex citing for me.” During all three of its TYA produc tions, ABT will be collecting slightly used or new books to donate to Peoria libraries as a way to give back to the community. The theater will be ac cepting chapter books for ages 12 to 19 for “The Great Gatsby,” and pic ture books for “Fancy Nancy Splen diferous Christmas” and “A Year with Frog and PerformancesToad.” for “The Great Gats by” are at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, Saturday, Sept. 10, and Saturday, Sept. 17 in the Encore Room at ABT.
