    Denounce bigotry and hate!
    Take a stand for human dignity!
    Mobilize for change!

    SUNDAY, AUGUST 20th, 6:30 PM
    Corner of 89A and Northview Rd.
    (In West Sedona)

    We encourage you to:
     – Bring signs
     – Wear something purple in honor of Heather Heyer, Charlottesville victim

    This event is supported by a broad coalition of community organizations.

    There has been grief and disbelief throughout the Sedona community at the terrible events that took place in Charlottesville, VA. and at the failure of leaders to call out hate, bigotry, and violence, instead equating peaceful protests with hate mongering.  Area residents have been asking for a way that Sedona can show its support for peaceful gatherings, honor Heather Heyer, the peaceful protester who was mowed down in Charlottesville.  A few leaders of Sedona organizations got together and have come up with an event for people’s peaceful expressions.

    The event will take place Sunday evening, August 20, at 6:30 PM at the corner of 89A and Northview Rd.  I am attaching a draft of the flier that has been starting to circulate.

    Those of us that met felt that the location is appropriate as it would not disrupt any open businesses, and would provide adequate space, nearby parking, a peaceful setting, and a link to veterans who died standing up to exactly the type of rhetoric that has unfortunately been gaining traction in our country.

    As it is such short notice from inception to event, we are relying on people to spread the word via email, text, social media, and phone.
    I hope to see you at the rally on Sunday.

    Best,

    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.
