    Four Sedona mayoral candidates participated in a special forum conducted and sponsored by the League of Women Voters on Wednesday, July 6, at the Sedona Performing Arts Center.

    The five candidates: Sandy Moriarty, Samaire Armstrong, Scott Jablow and Kurt Gehlbach, answered questions provided by the League and the Chamber, as well as from Sedona citizens.

    Sedona.biz video taped the event and is showing the video on its website so that those who could not attend could also see the candidates explaining their platforms and outlining their plans for the city.

      5 candidates?

      It’s obvious to those of us who were there that Armstrong was the strongest of the candidates. Jablow and the mayor looked like old dinosaurs right before the extinction event. They say they will carry on but if they follow the same old path they are walking, things will only get worse with the course they set. Armstrong was the only candidate to get any applause. Gehlbach joked about playing in a sandbox and his humor was lost on the audience of which there were at least 300 in attendance. He totally blew his chances when he announced his opposition to Home rule. At least Armstrong is coming to the table with a sense of fresh new ideas. But she is only one councilor and it does not look like she would get much support if she is elected. I appreciate the video and commend Sedona.biz for filming the meeting and posting it. The biggest mistake the old council made was strong-arming the Chamber to stop destination marketing. Businesses will die on the vine because of these NIMBY’s on the council. Has anyone noticed how deserted the streets are lately? I hope Armstrong treats the Chamber with the respect it deserves.


    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
