    Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room

    Sedona AZ (January 5, 2012) – Across the country, communities are returning to their gardens for fresh healthy foods and more reliable alternatives to unsustainable, long-distance food supplies. In Sedona and the Verde Valley, people are doing the same, as local gardens and farmers markets return to the area.

    As an inspiration, local groups are screening Good Food on Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room. In addition to the film, there will be an open dialogue about local food security and the possibility of a community garden in West Sedona.

    Good Food takes an intimate look at how people living in the Pacific Northwest have come together to create a more sustainable food system for their communities. The film and public conversation are sponsored by the local Sierra Club, Gardens for Humanity, the Verde Food Council and Sustainable Arizona. It is free and open to the public.

    Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet, said, “It is a film made to awaken our taste buds and our courage, to create a food system aligned with what the earth needs and what our bodies yearn for. Good Food shows us it’s possible. It’s happening!”

    Everywhere, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms.

    For well over 1000 years, native peoples and settlers have raised abundant crops of grain, fruit, vegetables and medicinal herbs in the fertile Verde River Valley. “It’s only been in the past sixty years that much of our food comes from thousands of miles away, an unsustainable situation,” explained Richard Sidy, director of Gardens for Humanity. “As in the film, our goal is to help develop relationships and resources so the Verde Valley will become more self-sustaining, once again.”

    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.
