    logo_NAWBOCottonwood AZ (April 15, 2017) – Rachel Valentine, Mingus Union High School senior, has been selected by NAWBO Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter to receive the Young Woman Entrepreneur Scholarship at their annual benefit luncheon called “Shining Stars–A Celebration of Entrepreneurial Excellence.” Valentine will be awarded $1500 at the gala to be held in Vista Hall, The Collective, Thursday, May 4, 2017, 11:00-1:30. The public is encouraged to attend.

    20170415_rachelvalentineValentine has been accepted by Lyndon State College, in rural Lyndonville, Vermont, where she will major in business. Having worked as a camera operator with Yavapai Broadcasting, her career goal is to start a broadcasting station to help youth gain speaking and leadership skills while providing a role model as a strong woman in business.

    Active in the Girl Scouts of America for 13 years, earning their bronze, silver and gold awards for projects, Valentine’s Gold Award project was shoes for Haiti after Hurricane Matthew in October, 2016, because people were getting severe parasite infections through their feet from going barefoot. She found sponsors and mentors who helped her send more than 200 pairs of shoes!

    She is an officer with the National Honors Society and is heavily involved in community outreach, such as serving as secretary of the Cottonwood Youth Advisory Commission since 2012, collaborating with City Council to plan and pitch fundraising events. She is Captain of the Varsity Cross-Country and Track team and works as a summer camp counselor and fitness attendant at the Cottonwood Recreation Center.

    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.
