    logo_ksbSedona AZ (May 30, 2014) – With great regret, the Board of Trustees of Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc. (KSB) accepted the resignation of its President Tom O’Halleran.  Tom O’Halleran, long term Verde Valley volunteer and advocate for environmental preservation, has declared his candidacy for the State Senate seat for Legislative District 6 as an Independent.  Formerly a Republican, O’Halleran served in the Arizona legislature for 8 years, from 2001 till 2009, first in the House, then in the Senate.

    photo_norrispeterson2After his last term in the legislature, Tom O’Halleran devoted his time and energy to the mission of two local environmental organizations, the Verde River Basin Partnership (VRBP) and KSB.  Tom is driven by his passion to preserve Arizona’s spectacular natural environment which is doubly endangered by limited water resources and a seemingly unlimited human population growth in the state. 

    Tom has been at the helm of KSB for fouryears, steering the organization’s efforts to protect and sustain the unique scenic beauty and natural environment of the greater Sedona area by educating and advocating on behalf of the KSB membership on zoning issues, community plans, Forest Service plans, dark skies, environmental impact studies and regional governmental issues.  His leadership will be sorely missed.

    KSB is ready to continue its mission.  The Board of Trustees elected as President Norris Peterson, former Executive Vice President, and long-time member and Board member of KSB.  Mike Yarbrough, a fairly recent arrival in Sedona and to KSB’s Board, but already deeply engaged in KSB activities, was chosen as Executive Vice President, and Joanne Kendrick as Secretary.  Abbie Denton remains Treasurer.  Under their capable leadership, all current KSB programs will continue on their course.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
