    Verde Valley Fire DistrictVerde Valley News, Sedona News – Verde Valley Fire District was recently awarded a grant for the FFY 2022 in the amount of $12,474 from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to continue their child car seat safety program. Thanks to GOHS, the District expects to provide approximately 210 child car seats to those in need in the community. 

    The District’s car seat program provides car seats at no cost to low-income families. Trained car seat technicians install the seats and provide instruction to parents and caregivers about the proper installation. This instruction is also provided, free of charge, to anyone who has a child car seat and needs help to properly install it.

    The Verde Valley Fire District provides child car seats to Cottonwood Fire & Medical Department and Copper Canyon Fire and Medical District which also have trained technicians. Verde Valley Fire District and its partner agencies strive to provide regular car seat clinics however, COVID-19 has made it difficult to hold these events. If you need a child car seat, an installation or inspection, please contact Verde Valley Fire District at (928) 634-2528 or your local fire station to inquire about an appointment.

    Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death among children ages 1 to 19.  Over half of all child car seats are incorrectly installed or are the wrong size for the child. To be effective, child car seats need to be the correct size and be correctly installed. Children should be at least 4’9”, 8 years of age or older, and pass the 5-step test below, before they stop using a booster seat. 

    1. Does the shoulder portion of the seat belt lay mid chest, mid shoulder?
    2. Is the child able to sit with their bottom all the way to the back of the seat?
    3. Does the child’s knees bend at the edge of the seat with their feet on the floor?
    4. Is the lap portion of the seat belt across the child’s upper thighs and hips?
    5. Can the child stay in this position for the whole trip?

    If you answer “no” to any one of the questions above, your child still needs a booster seat.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
