Students are invited to bring their bicycles to school on Friday, May 12 to participate in the 2017 Bike Rodeo!

    Fire Marshal Jon Davis, who coordinates public education events states, “The goal of this event is for young riders to learn safety skills for the common hazards that they may encounter, and most importantly, to have fun. It is our goal to encourage children to live healthy and active lifestyles while also building an understanding of how they can take actions to be safe. This event promotes the concept that skill translates into safety, and that being safe is both smart and cool.”

    A highlight of the Bike Rodeo includes the raffle of four new bicycles –donated by Don Nelms of Farmers Insurance and Sedona Verde Valley Fire Fighter Charities, with the winners announced the morning of the event.

    Davis states that, “This event represents a true partnership amongst the community and a dedication by local businesses and agencies to the children within our community.” Local bike shops including, Absolute Bikes and Bike & Bean will be on hand to inspect bikes for safety. Helmets are inspected by Yavapai County Community Health Services. Tours of the Guardian Air ambulance helicopter will be available as well as a demonstration of the Department of Public Safety rollover simulator, which is designed to demonstrate the importance of always wearing your seat belt while riding in a vehicle.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
