    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (April 3, 2017) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Wednesday April 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the Museum when Kevin Schindler will present a talk entitled: “Theodore Roosevelt Slept Here:  A mostly nonfictional account of Theodore Roosevelt and his ties to Arizona”.

    “Theodore Roosevelt probably had more impact on Arizona than any other president”, says Schindler, PIO/Historian at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.   As Kevin worked documenting that impact, one of the most interesting things he found was the number of claims of where Roosevelt lodged when he was in Arizona.  For example, several years ago, a hotel in Flagstaff included TR on a brochure that listed famous people to have stayed there.  The problem is, Roosevelt died in 1919 and the hotel wasn’t built until 1927!  Schindler will be sharing many interesting stories about this president’s many visits to Arizona and how he changed the future of our state.

    Schindler enjoys research, particularly in the history of science.  As an author, his books include: Flagstaff Festival of Science: The First 25 Years (with Bonnie Stevens), Images of America: Lowell Observatory, and The Far End of the Journey: Lowell Observatory’s 24-inch Clark Telescope.  He is also working on two new books: Images of America: Northern Arizona Space Training with Bill Sheehan (release June 2017) and Lowell Observatory, Home of Pluto: A Lowellian History of the 9th Planet (due for release around Christmas 2017).

    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.
