    The Observatory has also been working extensively with the City of Flagstaff on a retrofit of its street light system that will preserve Flagstaff’s dark skies.” Mr. Hall will talk about all these developments during the course of the evening.

    A Flagstaff resident for more than 20 years, Dr. Jeffrey Hall has served as Director of Lowell Observatory since June 2010.  He joined the staff at Lowell in 1992 as a postdoctoral research fellow.  He received a B. A. in Physics in 1986 from Johns Hopkins and a Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 1991 from Penn State.  His research at Lowell has focused on solar and stellar activity cycles, with the goal of lending an astronomical perspective to solar influences on terrestrial climate.  He presently serves as a member of Flagstaff’s leadership group, the Flagstaff Forty, and is former President of the Governing Board of Northland Preparatory Academy as well as of the Board of Directors of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra.  His principal avocation is music and he has been the substitute organist at Flagstaff’s Episcopal Church of the Epiphany for many years.

    Keep Sedona Beautiful’s monthly Preserving the Wonder(tm) Speaker Series is held the second Wednesday of each month from September through May.  It focuses on presenting a diversity of programs relevant to the unique environment of our region.

    We Have Been Thoroughly Trained!
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    Throughout the years, we have been trained. Part of the training is to see others as trained, but not ourselves. Even though we are the others that others are trained to see as trained, we tend to miss that little nuance. The training says we must know what’s right and speak out when we see something that runs contrary to our understanding of rightness. We don’t stop to realize that what we see as right isn’t exactly right or it would be the right version that everyone in their right mind knew as right. There are billions of versions of right but ours is the only real right one. Seems fishy, doesn’t it? We spend our days, our lives, catching others — the wrong ones — doing and saying things in support of their versions of right and our training has us jumping on the critical bandwagon lest we be painted in support of the wrong right. What in this crazy world moves us with such amazing force to crave rightness, to need to be seen as right? Read more→
