    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (May 3, 2016) – This spring and summer, city of Sedona Volunteer Park Rangers will warn visitors in Uptown Sedona about the critical topic of wildland fire danger. On days when the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning for Sedona and the surrounding forest, the Volunteer Park Rangers will wear “Red Flag Warning Today” buttons to educate the public of the potential for a fire and the steps needed to prevent one.

    logo_redflagwarningA Red Flag Warning is issued when there is a combination of low humidity, winds averaging 15 mph or more, temperature greater than 75 degrees, and very dry conditions – all of which could lead to catastrophic wildfire activity.

    The staff and volunteers at the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center in Uptown Sedona have also joined the effort. Between the Visitor Center and the Volunteer Park Rangers walking in Uptown Sedona every day, it is hoped that they will reach as many visitors as possible.

    “If this program prevents only one fire, it will be a success,” said Bob Huggins, city of Sedona Volunteer Park Rangers manager.

    The Volunteer Park Rangers have three main goals: to support the city of Sedona’s Parks and Recreation Department’s needs, walk Uptown Sedona and act as community stewards, and assist in community events. “This is just one more amazing service that our Volunteer Park Rangers provide. Thanks to their educational outreach as part of them being community stewards, more visitors will know the importance of fire safety in the Southwest,” said Rachel Murdoch, city of Sedona parks and recreation manager.

    For more information on the Volunteer Park Rangers or their wildfire prevention education campaign, contact the city of Sedona Parks and Recreation Department at 928- 282-7098.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
