    logo_madeinclarkdaleClarkdale AZ (March 25, 2014) – The Corner Gallery in Clarkdale is hosting a spring show with three Made In Clarkdale Artists, Ramona Stites, Edward Krish and Barbara Pierce. There will be a variety of art to see and purchase at this event.

    Ramona Stites is a long-time resident and artist of the Verde Valley, who paints contemporary Southwestern landscapes. Ramona’s work is known for its distinctive color, which has been described as sensuous, and simplicity of design. “I like to abstract down the forms in my work creating a recognizable landscape that is also abstract in nature.” Ramona’s art career started in the late 80’s after she received her Art degree. She has shown and sold her work in gallery settings since that time. Her oil and pastel painting can also currently be seen at Gallery 527 in Jerome. Ramona’s archival prints and cards will be available at the showing, as well as her original art.

    Edward Krish, semi-retired Geologist, uses the camera lens as his creative outlet. Many of his award-winning images were made during his time in wild places visited during his geologic work in the western United States and Australia. Ed is always looking for the next photo opportunity and his work shows a sense of maturity in his compositions, technical skills and sense of place. Ed says of his work, “the creative process of capturing an image starts in the mind’s eye. The camera lens then translates this unique vision of the light’s magic colors to film or digital file.  The resultant two-dimensional paper print is the best communication tool available to convey to people what I had seen in our ever-changing three-dimensional world”. Ed will have framed and unframed pieces available as well as archival cards.

    Barbara Pierce creates in various media. One of her chosen mediums is wire wrapped stones and cabochons. Barbara creates one of kind whimsical pendants and earrings. Many people know Barbara for her hand made cards as well as original paintings of mixed media and oil. Barbara shows her work in art festivals, gift shops, and galleries.

    The Eclectic Elements Show will run from April 4 – May 16 at the Corner Gallery in Clarkdale, AZ at 921 Main Street. The opening reception will be Friday, April 4 from 5pm to 8pm. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 11am to 4pm and Saturday from 11am to 2pm. For more information call 928-300-0928 or www.madeinclarkdale.org.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong


    Heads or Tails
    By Tommy Acosta
    Let’s face it. I love conspiracy theories. The more far-out the better. Yup. I’m one of those. Looking at the Trump raid fiasco there can only be two theories that I see fit perfectly into the scenario that’s being weaved for public consumption. The first is that what is happening is actually being engineered by the forces that want Trump to return to the White House. Just like with the Russia-Russia thing, what is going to happen after all the hoopla,Trump will be found completely innocent just like before and he will be loved even more by his fans and followers. Those who tried to put him down will be chagrinned while those who supported him politically will be exalted. Republicans will be revived, and they will go out and vote in a new Congress and Trump will rule once again. Then there is the other side of the coin. Read more→
