Information & Perspective By Warren Woodward(May 15, 2015) Last month the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) rescinded the decision they made last December to allow APS to charge customers without “smart” meters a monthly extortion fee. However, the ACC’s decision was just a lame stalling technique, and it was filled with illegalities and lies. So I appealed it.
Sedona AZ (May 15, 2015) – I came in to work today, like all other days since I arrived, with a big smile on my face. I’ve only been in Sedona for a short time, but the staff, council and community have made me feel like a long loved resident. I can honestly say that I haven’t been to another place that has made such an immediate impression on me.

By Dr. Marta AdelsmanLife Coach in Communication and Consciousnesswww.DrMartaCoach.com(May 15, 2015) Sometimes it happens that your significant other or someone else with whom you are close undergoes “problems.” It’s easy to take on the problems, feeling them as your own. It serves you to develop the ability to remain unattached when your significant other experiences depression, anxiety, or other reactions to life’s ups and downs.

By Ted Grussing … I took this shot in September of 2013 on a flight with Corky; she always enjoyed flights to the San Francisco Peaks with me and she enjoyed flying a little closer to the mountains than I do with other people, so it was a fun day for both of us. You can see someone standing in what is kind of a stone wall enclosure at the summit of Humphreys Peak at 12,633’ above sea level.
