    logo_sedonapoliceSedona AZ (November 17, 2016) – City of Sedona Police Officer Jackie McQuaid is on a mission: to fundraise with her colleagues, Sedona Fire District Chief Kris Kazian and Sedona Oak Creek School District Superintendent David Lykins, so they can help support the Special Olympics Arizona. The catch? By each fundraising a minimum of $1,000, McQuaid, Kazian and Lykins will sign up to also step “Over the Edge,” and rappel 27 stories and 415 feet down the CityScape Building in downtown Phoenix on December 10, 2016.

    As the Resource Officer at Red Rock High School, McQuaid is in the schools every day and knows how important funding is to providing physical activities for special needs students. Sponsored by the Special Olympics Arizona, the event helps to fund the activities for 18,000 Special Olympics Arizona athletes. Specifically, the money raised will go to ensuring special needs athletes’ continued participation in year round sports training and athletics competition.

    logo_arizonaspecialolympics“Everyone probably thinks this endeavor is a little on the crazy side, but I am dedicated to challenging myself just as athletes of Special Olympics do on a daily basis. The fear that I will experience is only temporary while the positive impact on our community and this organization will last a lifetime,” said McQuaid.

    McQuaid, Kazian, Lykins and other participants all over the state are committed to each raising $1,000 because it is the cost to support two athletes for an entire year at Special Olympics Arizona. The “Over the Edge” event draws participants from all over the state, and McQuaid, Kazian and Lykins decided to come together as the Sedona Team because they knew they could raise more money together than they could alone.

    Each participant who rappels must raise at least $1,000 by December 4, 2016 to be eligible to go “Over the Edge” but additional donations may be made until December 10, 2016. To donate to this cause or learn more information about the “Over the Edge” event, visit the Sedona Team’s funding website at .

    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.
