    Sedona AZ (September 25, 2015) – When is the last time you played tourist? You don’t need guests as an excuse to enjoy the wonderful attractions of Northern Arizona. Use resources from Sedona Public Library to plan your next adventures in the high country.

    photo_cherylyeatts2Take a hike! Before your departure, check out guidebooks available at the library: “Flagstaff Hikes” by Richard Mangum, “Best Easy Day Hikes, Flagstaff” by Bruce Grubbs, and “50 Favorite Hikes:  Flagstaff and Sedona” by Cosmic Ray. A word of advice before you plan any hike: be prepared.  Wear sunscreen, take plenty of water and be aware of high elevation. The altitude will get your blood pumping, so schedule some rest breaks.

    Learn about ancient civilizations. Walnut Canyon and Wupatki Ruins are two outstanding national monuments located a short drive from Flagstaff. Read more about Walnut Canyon in Scott Thybony’s book “Walnut Canyon National Monument.”  David Grant Noble’s book “Wupatki and Walnut Canyon:  New Perspectives on History, Prehistory, and Rock Art” is another great resource.

    Visit a cultural attraction. Borrow a Culture Pass from the library for two free admissions to Lowell Observatory or the Pioneer Museum or the Arboretum at Flagstaff.  For more information about the free Culture Pass, pick up a brochure or visit the Reference Desk at Sedona Public Library. What a great deal!

    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.
