    Public comments sought for proposed thinning and burning near Wing Mountain and Kachina Peaks

    Flagstaff, AZ (September 23, 2011) – The Flagstaff Ranger District is accepting public input about proposed fuels reduction and forest health treatments near Wing Mountain, Fort Valley, and the Kachina Peaks Wilderness. Interested parties are encouraged to provide their thoughts to the District by October 18, 2011 to be most helpful in the planning process.

    The entire project area is at high risk of very severe wildfire behavior. Proposed treatments to reduce fuel loading and return fire to the landscape at regular intervals are vital to protecting the area and adjacent sensitive lands such as the Kachina Peaks Wilderness from high intensity, stand replacing wildfire.

    Activities will also aid in returning aspen stands, grasslands, and watersheds to healthier conditions, and improve habitat for the Mexican spotted owl and northern goshawk.

    The project area encompasses approximately 11,150 acres, including Wing Mountain, approximately 50 acres of Experimental Forest lands, and nine acres of private lands, and is bordered by Forest Service roads, the Kachina Peaks Wilderness, Arizona Snowbowl, the Fort Valley Experimental Forest, Hart Prairie, and state and private lands. The Forest Service has been working closely with Experimental Forest representatives to determine appropriate treatments within the Experimental Forest acres included within this project. No treatments are proposed for private lands The Proposed Action and map for the Wing Mountain Fuels Reduction and Forest Health Project are available on the Forest website at

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
