    logo_sedonaartmuseum2Sedona AZ (September 14, 2015) – Robert E. (Bob) MacDonald recently tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Sedona Art Museum due to health considerations. He was a founding member of the organization and served in this capacity since September, 2013. “We are very grateful to Bob for his years of service, his efforts on our behalf, and the progress made under his leadership,” stated Mark Schrader, Vice Chair.

    Mark, who has also been involved in the Sedona Art Museum since its inception, will now assume the role of interim Chairman until the annual elections in November. Owner of ALT Gallery in Hillside Sedona, he is the past president of the Sedona Gallery Association. Prior to moving here, he operated a Southern California business specializing in advertising and electronic media. Mark has been involved in the world of visual arts as a collector for 30 years.

    20150914_Byrd-SchraderMary Byrd was elected to the board of the Sedona Art Museum in May, 2015. She will become the interim Vice Chair until elections are held. “I have always joined and visited art museums every place I’ve lived or traveled,” says Mary. “Having a top notch museum in Sedona is very important for residents, visitors and especially children. Art brings a community together.” An avid art collector, Mary’s volunteerism has mostly been with non-profit art and architecture organizations. She was president of the board of directors of a Florida non-profit corporation for six years. Educated as a registered nurse and public administrator, her experience includes marketing a home health agency to Chicago hospitals, work in the insurance field, and authoring a children’s book.

    The Sedona Art Museum will soon be distributing a survey to over 5,000 residents to ascertain the level of interest and support for the museum. “It is hoped we will get a high percentage return to aid in our planning as we move forward,” stated Harley Todd, Chair of the Development Committee. “The results will be compiled in November and announced shortly thereafter.”

    In addition, the Art Museum is working with a consultant to launch its capital campaign to raise funds for land and construction of the museum. “The Venue Committee has been exploring land options for six months and is hopeful this may be finalized very soon,” said Chairman Linda Muir.

    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.
