Seriously are we  trying to hurry them on up as fast as possible to Sedona so they can satisfy their hunger and spend their money there? Isn’t there one local restaurant/business who could use that space to advertise? Firecreek does a good job with a tasteful sign  on the reverse side of the board!

Prescott AZ (September 23, 2014) – Recently YCSO K9 Deputy Randy Evers took his companion and law enforcement partner, “Neo,” to the veterinarian out of concern the K9 was not eating and acting very lethargic. A mass was discovered in Neo’s abdomen and there was fear it could be cancer. In order to check the mass, surgery would be required and the cost would nearly eliminate the budget designated for vet care involving the complete K9 team. Neo was also close to retirement, so there was consideration to wait and see how Neo fared on his own.

By Ted Grussing … I left home early this morning with the intent of flying and then making it to church after I landed and got the motorglider put away. My church in the sky was bountiful and beckoning with beautiful clouds everywhere and by the time I figured out I should be landing and driving to my land based church, another opportunity presented itself to continue the dance among the clouds flying through canyon after canyon … gentle banks this way and steep banks that way. Although there was no great lift, there was enough that my sink rate…

By Steve Segner, PresidentSedona Lodging Council(September 19, 2014)  In reading the article in the Sedona Red Rock News posted September 19,2014, I have trouble with several comments: Regarding the Marriott refusal to pay fees: Quote:  “It is against Marriott Company Policy to provide affordable housing, and will not pay the fee.”  Marriot has agreed to give us a flag lot they say is worth $400,000 and $15,000 for the forest service. All the other hotels in Sedona have paid the fee and I am sure it was against their Corporate Policies, but they paid it. The city should not let the Marriott off the…

By Dr. Marta AdelsmanLife Coach in Communication and Consciousnesswww.DrMartaCoach.com(September 19, 2014) For the majority of the 43 years of my marriage to Steve, I looked to him to meet my emotional needs.  Then I learned this important lesson.  For those of you in a relationship, this may surprise you… It’s not your significant other’s job to meet your needs. It’s your job to meet your needs.  When you ask this of your partner, you place an unnecessary burden on the relationship that it often can’t sustain.
