    logo_ksbSedona AZ (May 5, 2016) – “What is all the Hub-Bub about “dark skies?” asks JD Maddy. Come to KSB’s Wednesday, May 11th Preserving the Wonder(tm) Speaker Series to discover the wonder of dark skies during JD Maddy’s presentation which will be full of night-sky photographs along with a discussion on what to expect from dark-sky viewing.

    29169595_Lunar_EclipseThe evening’s discourse will “travel” through our own Milky Way and go to galaxies beyond by way of pictures taken from the Sedona area, according to Maddy.

    He further stated “Current astronomical events will be shown and explained and what to expect when looking up to the sky. We are saying goodbye to the winter constellations and welcoming the central area of the Milky Way as summer approaches. We’ll describe what you’ll be able to see with the unaided eye, binoculars and telescopes …

    After the presentation, weather permitting, stay and view through several large telescopes to actually ‘see’ what the Hub Bub is all about.”

    After retiring from big city life and working for a Fortune 500 company, JD and his wife, who is also interested in astronomy and an amateur astronomer, decided to move to the dark skies of Arizona to follow their life-long interest in astronomy.

    Soon after joining the Astronomers of Verde Valley, JD found a love for astronomy outreach with the local community that eventually reached state-wide.

    When not conducting volunteer astronomy outreach programs for the National Park Service, Arizona State Parks, local community parks, local schools or the Forest Service, JD spends time under the stars in his own observatory or teaching astronomy programs occasionally through OLLIE at the Clarkdale Campus of Yavapai Community College.

    Members, residents and visitors are all welcome to join Keep Sedona Beautiful (“KSB”) at 5:30 p.m. at its historic Pushmataha Center on 360 Brewer Road. The evening will include complimentary appetizers donated by El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano and refreshments provided by KSB.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
