    Sustainability AllianceSedona AZ (February 4, 2020) – Second Harvest is now a Certified Sustainable Business at the Conservationist/Bronze level from the Sustainability Alliance.

    Second Harvest turns waste products from Arizona wineries into new products. Many wineries, such as Page Springs Cellars, generate more grape pomace (skins, pulp, seeds, and stems from the winemaking process) than can be composted or used for mulch, and much of it goes to landfill. 

    20200204_sustainable1So Gayle Glomski, who runs the Yoga and Massage department at Page Springs Cellars, investigated how Europeans were using grape byproducts. She created two antioxidant-rich offerings: body butter made with pomace and organic shea butter, and an edible powdered pomace that can be used in baking or added as a flavoring to soups, sauces, and salad dressings.

    “To test out the market, I brought the body butter to a PSC member event last year and sold 70 jars! I was shocked by how many people loved it!” Glomski exclaimed.

    20200204_sustainable2She’s still ramping up her business so production impacts are small so far. Glomski is already thinking about changes she could make as she grows, like finding a higher-volume alternative for the drying process and reusable bottles for the products. 

    Second Harvest products are currently sold through the Page Springs Cellars tasting room, Pillsbury Tasting Room, Sedona Heritage Museum Gift Shop, and direct to consumer. Eventually she’d like to make branded products for other local wineries to sell under their own label. See who else is certified.

    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.
