    Draw It! Cartooning with The Janimal: For all the kids who would like to have someone help guide their creative efforts, we’ll be offering a special program on cartooning on Saturday, January 23, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the community room. Learn basic cartooning and have a whole lot of fun with local cartoonist, The Janimal! Paper and pencils will be provided. No experience necessary. For ages 7 and up.

    Annual Quilt Show: The Library’s annual quilt show runs from January 4 through February 27. This popular community event features dozens of traditional and contemporary quilts, many created by area residents. The show is coordinated by Quilter’s Store Sedona and once again you’ll see that the stories behind the quilts are as captivating as the quilts themselves.

    “Written in Thread: Women’s History Preserved in Their Quilts”: Arizona Humanities speaker Pam Knight will give a presentation tracing the history of Arizona through women who recorded pieces of their lives in their needlework. This free program will be held in the Si Birch Community Room at the West Sedona library on Friday, January 15, from 1 to 3 p.m.

    “The Explorations and Discoveries of George Bird Grinnell, The Father of Glacier National Park”: Arizona Humanities speaker Hugh Grinnell will come in character as G. B. Grinnell to the Village of Oak Creek to tell his story. In addition to being an explorer, Grinnell worked for fair and reasonable treaties with Native American tribes, and for the preservation of America’s wild lands and resources. This presentation will be held on Wednesday, January 13, at 1:30 p.m. at Sedona Winds, 405 Jacks Canyon Road. Funded by Arizona Humanities and the Sedona Friends of the Library, the program is free and open to the public.

    Culture Pass: As you make your plans for 2016, consider checking out a culture pass, for free admission for two people to one of 19 museums or cultural attractions in Arizona. Some of the participating institutions include: Heard Museum, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Art Museum, Challenger Space Center, Lowell Observatory, and Sedona Heritage Museum.

    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.
