PEOPLE YOU CAN COUNT ON ALL AROUND Who are the people in your neighborhood? Like so many of the lessons I learned in life, this one came courtesy of “Sesame Street.” As a preschooler, I watched Bob sing about the helping professions like postman, firefighter, bus driver, librarian and nurse. They were the grown-ups I could count on, the people that I’d meet, when I was walking down the street each day. But what if I had lived in a neighborhood without a library, or where my first brush with a police officer came when he was arresting my dad? I probably would have had a different take on these professionals. The Phoenix Police Foundation has several planks to its mission, but one of them is to help the men and women in blue have positive interactions with young community members. By coaching, teaching, training and just hanging out with law enforcement, “kids get to see that police officers are real people, just like their own parents,“ said Sgt. Dave Hosfield. What’s more, by spending time with the youths, the officers discover that “there are good kids out there who want to do good. They’ve just been put in a bad situation,” said Officer David Barrios. Barriers come down when people get to know each other. And at Frontdoors , we believe that great coverage means getting to know subjects as people and celebrating the good works that they do. In 10 Questions, meet Kevin Michael Doyle, the tea sommelier at the Arizona Biltmore, who has brought exemplary service to a new level. In Office Doors, get to know Lisa Scarpinato, CEO of Kitchen on the Street, who is fighting food insecurity among Arizona’s children. A 2 nd Act introduces us to the women behind Young Advocacy and Support, who are on a mission to promote fertility education for female cancer survivors. Carey Peña takes us into the lab to meet researchers working to treat — and hopefully cure — Type 1 diabetes. And in Open Doors, publisher Andrea Tyler Evans reflects on the jobs that have helped forge her renowned sense of service. I hope these stories will make you remember, in times of frustration, that there are people you can count on all around. The team here always tries to bring you stories about local community champions, the people that you’ll meet when you’re walking down the street each day.
