    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (August 22, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum will partner with John V. Bezy for 3-day cultural tours of northwest Chihuahua, Mexico.  

    The three-day trip to a non-tourist part of Mexico features a visit to the village of Mata Ortiz. The town is known for its ceramics which are a revival of the prehistoric Paquimé tradition. The air is often filled with the smoke from the many kilns.

    20160822_Mata-Ortiz-pots-11Along with this visit to the town of famous potters, Bezy will take the intimate group of only 8-10 people on a tour of a rich cultural mix of Mexican, Mormon, and Mennonite historical sites, to place in the spectacular landscape of the Chihuahuan Desert, and a visit to Paquimé – the most important archaeological site in northwest Mexico and the American Southwest.

    Tour guide John V. Bezy has worked with the potters of Mata Ortiz and been studying the archeology and culture of this area for more than 30 years.

    Three small tours are planned so travelers have a choice of travel dates: October 11-13, or November 9-11, or December 6-8. Cost is $575 double occupancy; $650 single occupancy, (includes all transportation, tours, hotels, entrance fees, and tips).  A portion of the trip cost is a donation to the Sedona Historical Society, a 501c3 non-profit, and registration includes a complimentary 2017 membership in the Sedona Historical Society.           

    Again, space is limited and these trips will sell out, so interested individuals should call the Museum soon to insure their seats. Informational flyers and registration forms are available at the Museum or by visiting www.sedonamuseum.org.  For more info, call Lisa at 928-282-7038.

    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.
