IN YOUR WORDS

Modern lifestyle can isolate us from one another and that makes it di9cult for connections. When we move into a neighborhood or when new people move into our neighborhood, there is a curiosity and a new common ground. 0e chance to meet, share a bit about yourself or things you want to do with your house may not happen by accident.

Front Yard Friday (FYF) is the opportunity to take a proactive approach to engage and unite neighbors and build a network of support that contributes to the wellbeing of all involved. It is contagious in the best way. Front Yard Friday is an event that is all about creating community to help people feel connected!

In 2013, Carrie Dyrek, a past President of Woodlea Melrose, suggested to the Neighborhood Board a casual

monthly meeting, socially oriented and held in a neighbors front yard might serve as a good way for neighbors to meet.

0e “front yard only” aspect is signi&cant, as people are more comfortable walking up to what they can see. And they should see a lot of friendly faces! Neighbors volunteer to host the event in their front yard and the Board brings signage, a table for snacks and a cooler with water. Holding it aAer work on a Friday seemed to make sense and those attending bring their own chair and a beverage.

With that, “Front Yard Friday” was oB the ground. 0e &rst one was held in March 2013 with about 20 people in attendance. 0e average draw now is approximately 50 neighbors per event. It is one of the &rst things new neighbors &nd out about and are encouraged to attend. New residents are engaged into the community immediately.

Some stay for 30 minutes, some for 4 hours. Children play together, animals are by their owner’s side and name tags reveal the names of residents you have not yet met. Soon there is a waitlist of hosts for this event. It has

been the single biggest improvement in neighborhoods in years. More people know each other, look out for each other, care about each other, talk to each other and people are just hanging out in their front yards more now. It also provides a forum for discussion on development, safety concerns and issues relevant to the culture of the community. A mini town hall at times.

Recently Front Yard Friday evolved even further in the Melrose District. Of the seven surrounding neighborhoods, six are actively holding FYF events, except during the summer! 0is summer the neighborhood leaders got together and agreed to try holding the event indoors. We collaborated with local businesses on 7th Ave to host our combined neighborhoods for this event. 0e &rst one was held at the

Quail Lounge, a bar that has been around for many years and recently did some updating and cleaning up. 0e leaders wanted to promote this business’ eBort to the residents.

Sandra Miller, the business owner and a Carnation neighborhood resident, oBered discount drinks, a special drink for the neighborhood and provided food from the Fry Bread House, another one of her family’s businesses. Build it and they will come! 0e event drew some 200 people coming and going over the three hour period! Huge success and the next business was selected. New to the Melrose area, Short Leash Hot Dogs agreed to host the August indoor Front Yard Friday. Next summer’s locations are already being planned! 0ese collaborations are mutually bene&cial to the businesses and the neighborhoods.

Now we are more than connected inside our own boundaries, we are connecting across them and continuing to &nd that common ground that is the community to which we all belong.

With the end of the monsoon season, there may be a lingering impact from the storms; dampness inside the home. Water can enter our homes through leaks in the roof, poor drainage, or dripping plumbing inside the walls or Poors. A humid, damp home provides a nurturing environment for mold and mildew, which are known asthma triggers. Moisture can also be an invitation to pests like mites, roaches, and rodents that are seeking food, water, and shelter.

Keep it Dry • Prevent water from entering your home through

leaks in roo&ng systems, keep rain water fromentering the home due to poor drainage, and checkyour interior plumbing for any leaks.

• Moisture around the shower or tub, near windowsand walls, or on the Poor and ceiling can lead tomold. Mold can cause severe health problems sowipe down shower walls aAer bathing. Eliminatemoisture by opening a window or turning on theexhaust fan.

• Flooding can damage the building materials in your

home and lead to structural damage. Standing water and wet materials can contain viruses and bacteria, so make sure you clean, dry, or throw away wet items.

Keep it Pest-Free • Pests oAen enter your home through gaps or

openings in walls, doors or windows, so seal cracksand openings throughout your home.

• Store food in pest-resistant containers and ifneeded, use sticky-traps and baits in areas notaccessible to children or pets.

• Do not let trash and clutter collect inside yourhome. Get rid of stacks of newspaper, papers, bags,and cardboard boxes that make good homes.

• Install animal‐proof screens in vents in attics andcrawl spaces to keep pests out.

Evidence shows that a well-maintained home that is kept dry, pest free, clean, well ventilated, and in good repair contributes to good health and a safer environment for the entire family.

I’ve always believed that helping people was the right thing to do. I was exposed to the meaning of giving and helping at a very early age. My great-grandmother (Nana) would regularly buy extra bags of groceries and drop them oB at a random house. As I got older I understood that these random folks were in need for a variety of reasons. Some were recovering from surgery or had just been laid oB or just simply had trouble making ends meet. Nana told me that we were blessed so that we could bless others. I had the privilege of watching Nana be an amazing servant leader in her community. Fast forward 25 years later, I &nd myself wanting to help and serve the underserved and underprivileged. I loved the feeling when I know that I have given something or done

something for someone. It was that feeling of taking the core values of my spiritual beliefs beyond the four walls of my place of worship. I remember aAer several local mission endeavors to downtown Phoenix my team of urban teens and I were preparing for our next act of service. 0e plan was to pass out sack lunches on the corner near the campus and get to know the life stories of some of the individuals experiencing homelessness. I spoke to my wife who worked for one of the agencies on the human services campus and told her the plan. She asked me to reconsider and rePect if what I was doing would really help or just create more trash and perpetuate the homelessness of those individuals. I could not deny that she was right, so we nixed that plan of handing out sack lunches and opted to volunteer with one of the organizations that was already serving meals to those experiencing homelessness. As a result of one conversation I went from being a street feeder/giver to being a “healthy giver”.

I know you’re asking what does that even mean. Being a healthy giver means that I give to those who are need in ways that can have long term and life changing eBects. It means that I give in a way that possibly brings an individual closer to ending the homelessness as opposed to prolonging it. Many cities and police departments in the valley work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe and clean and as a street feeder or giver, you are working in direct opposition to the eBorts of your public service personnel and your not really helping anyone better their lives in the long run. I know that none one wants to intentionally be part of a problem and that is why I’m oBering you an opportunity to intentionally be a part of the solution. 0e Healthy Giving Council exists to educate the public about how to give in a healthy way, ways that promote partnership, eliminates blighy and ultimately reduces the number of individuals experiencing homelessness.

With the heat of summer slowly coming to an end…. eventually, residents will shiA from the cooling season to the heating season (all four days of it here in Phoenix). With that said, here are a few tips to get your home ready for Fall and Winter.

Maintenance is key to ensure proper operation of all components in the home. September and October are typically perfect months to start thinking about scheduling service appointments for your home heating equipment. 0is will give ample time to make repairs prior to the need for heating. A great resource for &nding reputable contractors to conduct this work is to search through your utility provider as well as the Registrar of Contractors and the Better Business Bureau.

Some other great ways to save through the cooler months are to open the blinds and remove sunscreens. Let the sun work for you! Windows that are covered during the summer to prevent solar heat gain should be exposed. Utilize free energy to heat your home! Sunscreens should only be installed over windows when you are trying to cool your home.

Another way to keep indoor temperatures consistent

and prevent strain on your heating system, is to keep interior doors open while the system is in operation. 0is will allow for conditioned/heated air to move freely and without restriction, through your home. When you close interior doors, you alter the designed airPow paths. 0is will reduce comfort and increase undue strain on the motor/blower in your HVAC unit. 0ink of it like this, when you are drinking through a straw, you wouldn’t pinch the straw expecting the same Pow as if you had not pinched it, right? 0at is basically how an HVAC system is designed. 0e air that Pows into the rooms must make its way back to where the return grill is to complete the “circle of Pow”.

Lighting! Lighting is a big one!! With the holiday season around the corner and speaking as a Griswold household, making the switch to LED lights could save a substantial amount of energy and $$$! By replacing your old, ine9cient lights with Energy Star rated products, you could potentially use at least 75% less energy and the lifespan is typically 25 times longer.

LEDs consume far less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and decorative LED strings such as Christmas tree lights are no diBerent. Not only do LED holiday lights consume less electricity, they also are much cooler than incandescent lights, reducing the risk of combustion and are much more resistant to breakage.

Being mindful and incorporating energy e9ciency measures in your home are a fantastic investment, not only for your home, but our future as well. 0e stock market can’t provide the return on investment that most e9ciency measures provide.

City residents interested in applying for assistance through the Weatherization program can contact NSD at 602-534-4444.
