    Flagstaff AZ (April 5, 2012) – A Village of Oak Creek resident reached an agreement in Federal Court on Tuesday regarding charges of unauthorized trail construction and has been banned from all national forests in Arizona for two years and ordered to pay restitution.

    After an investigation by the Forest Service, Gerald Griffin, 74, admitted to unauthorized trail construction on the Red Rock Ranger District south of the Village of Oak Creek a couple days a week for the past three years in order to “help trail users.” In addition to being banned, Griffin was ordered to pay $1,000 in restitution.

    District Ranger Heather Provencio stated that illegal trail construction continues to impact the Red Rock Ranger District by causing erosion and impacts to archaeology, plants and wildlife.

    The District has a process for trail planning and adoption to ensure that resource and social concerns are addressed. She stressed that there are severe penalties for those who take trail construction or maintenance into their own hands.

    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.
