    Wait! Please don’t walk away,

    photo_karenwalkerThere is a story much I want to convey,

    I don’t mean to impose

    But the last door is about to close…

     

    I was hiking with a friend

    And I got lost near the river bend

    I am not sure how they found me

    As I sat beneath the old birch tree…

     

    There is so much more to tell

    But I am in a living hell

    When I go to catch the words,

    They fly away faster than any bird,

     

    My mind is a house of doors

    With words scuttling along the floors

    And I rush down each hall

    Racing to catch them all,

    Sedona Gift Shop

     

    Yet the door slams before I arrive

    Where is that story I want to revive?

    Yes, the doors are closing quickly now

    My stories grow shorter with every hour

     

    I still know your face

    And you voice is easy to place

    But your name is last in line

    That door just closed for the last time

     

    I was hiking with some friends

    And I got lost near the river bend

    I am not sure how they found me

    As I sat beneath the old Birch tree…

     

    There is so much more to tell

    But the doors have all closed…

    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.
