    Verde Valley News – The Camp Verde Community Library and the Toley Ranz Foundation are teaming up again. The Foundation’s innovative Stop Bullying Program moves into the library’s safe space so children can learn about self-empowerment and living free of fear. The new 2023 dates for three Wednesdays are February 22, March 1, and March 8, at 4:00pm. Children in first through fifth grade and their families are invited to learn how to strengthen self-reliance and stand up to bullying.

    In the bully-free, safe atmosphere of the library children and parents, grandparents and families find a go-to place where they can learn how to strengthen their self-belief and stand up to bullying. The Toley Ranz Foundation’s anti-bullying programs teach young children lessons of inclusion, diversity, and acceptance. This knowledge allows children to feel free to address, explore, and learn about their own inner strengths and how to ward off bullies.

    “We must address the whole child, meaning that self-belief and kindness are as important as academic subjects. If we want to raise strong kids in difficult times, we must commit fully to show them a path without violence into their teen years,” said Anke Otto-Wolf, founder of Toley Ranz. “Imagine a child in distress, unable to ward off negativity, or even a bully. Bullying destroys emotional health. Our move into safe spaces at the library not only opens a path to learning productive social skills as well as tolerance values, but it also contributes to thriving communities at large.”

    The imaginary character, Toley Ranz, supports, encourages, models, and teaches healthy, productive behavior in children of any learning capacity. Toley Ranz is any child’s happiness compass and inner guide to strong self-belief. This imaginary, colorful character represents the inner voice of a child and functions as an inner coach and self-hero. Whispering “psst-psst, listen…” it encourages the child to stand up for self-belief. Teaching and supporting tolerance education, acceptance, diversity, and inclusion is Toley’s job as the mediator.

    Toley’s teachings are reinforced with stunning, colorful pictures and story books as well as videos, games, manuals, and more. Parents, grandparents, and teachers need help. Toley Ranz is that help. Parents will recognize the impact of “The Psst-psst of Toley Ranz” Stop Bullying books and method to help them raise children who learn to stand-up for themselves. Learning materials provided to the library include books, audiobooks, videos, guides, and Toley Ranz, the talking plush toy that represents the inner voice of children. When Toley speaks its ‘psst-psst, listen- you are awesome, great job, I believe in you,’ and children listen.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
