Where do we go now? The issue of taking back the road is a dead issue with the community with the only exception that Hamilton and Rayner may still take the voters to court to try to overturn 411. We will see if they honor the vote of the residents or use an outside group to take this to court. What we do have in front of us is a city council election just a few short months away. Who will be the candidates?... 

Dear Sedona Eye editor, Robert Larson, owner of the Red Rock News, filled his October 21 (2011) editorial with unfounded generalities, misstatements and twisted facts. As the only printed news source in town, the Red Rock News would better serve the residents if it used accurate information in the right context. If we didn’t hope for better we would think the opponents of Prop 410 wrote the editorial,...

Dear Sedona Times Editor:  Texas’ messing with history is nothing new. The Texas State Board of Education has been trying to re-fight the Civil War and Reconstruction, Indian wars, and the Spanish-American War using textbooks for a long time. I attended Texas public schools from the 50s through 60s. Though I got a good education in some areas, I have profound anger about some of the lies and omissions... 

The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems. There’s no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony. There’s no merit without crisis. It’s in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis... 

Letter to the Editor:  I seem to recall in history classes during those long hours in grade school and high school that there were 100s of thousands of men and women who gave their lives so that we may be free.
