Dear Sedona Times Editor: In view of all the present discussions – and anger – over SB 1070, I have attached a copy of the bill as signed by Governor Brewer.  Some parts seem innocuous until one starts thinking about the implications.  In her signing of this bill, Governor Brewer talked about border safety.  Note: there is not one word in the bill about dealing with border issues and... 

At the last SFD board meeting,  a citizen questioned the reasons for SFD staff not to follow the 3 bid rule when it suggested a Performance-Based Contract with Trane. I can see why someone in the private sector would question that process. Whenever possible, it is common practice for government agencies to go piggy-back on State bids. Every jurisdiction’s purchasing procedures will allow that jurisdiction...

Dear Sedona Times Editor: Today, I stood with my little group of Organizing for America volunteers on the street corner across from Bashas on 89A in West Sedona. These committed people braved the cold temperatures, threats of rain, and wind gusts just to let people know that not all Arizonans are anti-immigrant “birthers.” Some of us actually have a positive message about recent accomplishments,... 

Writing this week’s story caused much thought.  First off, though, I’m sitting at a coffee shop as I write this which for me is really coloring outside the lines, but here goes… Last Sunday, my friend asked if I wanted to go for a drive and visit a labyrinth.  She said it was nearby and since nothing was on my agenda, I was game and off we went.  We eventually turned off Hwy 89A... 

Dear Sedona Times Editor: The City Council wants to nearly double the wasterwater rates in the next four years, because over the years they have mismanaged city funds.  They want to use this indirect tax to steal from Peter to pay Paul.  Just like Ronald Reagan appropriated monies from Social Security to pay for his defense build-up, the Council wants to take the increased revenue from the wasterwater...

I saw the Broadway production of Hair for a third time last night.  Perhaps its because I experienced the Central Park/Greenwich Village scenes of the sixties closely, many parts of the play continue to produce chills down my spine and spring tears to my eyes.  Then again, my daughter is also obsessed with the play.  This must be because she’s heard it all straight from the horse’s mouth.
