    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (June 15, 2014) – The City of Sedona, in cooperation with the Sedona Fire Department, is offering Sedona area residents the opportunity to dispose of their yard waste and flammable vegetation.  This is also an opportunity to clean up any debris related to drainage maintenance prior to monsoon season.  Shrubs and growth may reduce the capacity of washes or drainage ditches, and any loose trimmings and yard waste may impede proper flows.  The City of Sedona Maintenance Yard, located at 2070 Contractors Road, will accept yard waste during the cleanup event starting Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29, 2014, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

    Creating a defensible space within 30 feet of your home can greatly reduce the risk of a wildfire.  Tall, dry grasses provide a path for fire that can lead directly to your house.  By removing dry grasses, leaves, pine needles from your roof and gutters, excess growth, and dead leaves and branches, it decreases the flammability potential.  Pruning tree limbs so the lowest limb is between 6’ to10’ from the ground reduces “ladder fuels.” 

    Yard debris, including brush, tree and shrub trimmings (limbs, trunks), bagged leaves, and pine needles (no cactus trimmings, please) may be dropped off during this event.  In an effort to reduce the spread of noxious weeds, leaves, grasses and pine needles must be bagged.  Appliances, hazardous materials, garbage, mattresses, and other household waste will not be accepted.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Visit www.sedonafire.org  to learn how to make your property safe from wildfire or call the Sedona Fire District at 282-6800 to schedule a free home assessment.  For more information on the cleanup event, please contact the City of Sedona at (928) 204-7111.

    In addition, the City of Sedona encourages you to be prepared and sign up now to receive emergency alerts from the City and Coconino or Yavapai County, depending on which county you live in.  To sign up, please click on the red link “Sign Up For Emergency Alerts” located on the homepage at www.SedonaAZ.gov.  It is important to sign up for both the City and a county, as there may be emergency notifications sent by the City that are not a county issue and vice versa.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
