    logo_sedonapubliclibrarySedona AZ (January 11, 2013) – Sedona Public Library’s Annual Quilt Show features over 50 quilts, showcasing the creativity of our local quilters against the architectural beauty of the Library.

    This community event is in its 20th year, and as always the diverse display of traditional and contemporary quilts is stunning. The show runs through Thursday, February 7.

    Visit the Quilter’s Store Sedona and Gallery website at www.quiltersstoresedona.com for photos of the show.

    Once again, Patty Krause of the Quilter’s Store has prepared a handout to accompany the show. Her introduction reads: “Welcome to the Library’s Annual Quilt Show and another creative and colorful display. As you wander through the aisles looking at quilts and reading the handout, you soon will sense that quilting is all about family. Whether it is an upcoming family celebration that inspires the quilter, lasting friendships or deeper emotions of grief or joy, the quilter finds expression and release through the quilting process and finished piece. So much love is poured into these quilts. May this diverse collection of quilts warm your heart with their beauty and stories and awe you with their creativity.”

    20120111_quiltshowIn keeping with the theme of family, this article highlights quilts created by members of the Sedona Public Library “family.”

    “Happy Puppies” is the work of volunteer Sandy Kreml. Sandy works at the Circulation Desk on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. She made this quilt for her son, who always loved the family dogs. Sandy says finding the fabrics was like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. She used the three-dimensional pattern “Gone to the Dogs,” by Judy Didit. The quilting was done by Andrea Marquez at the Christmas Goose in Las Vegas.

    “Peacocks Delight” is another quilt by Sandy Kreml. When Sandy saw the pattern “Shenandoah” by Creative Sewlutions, she was taken by the possibilities. The peacock fabric was found at Quilter’s Store Sedona, and she knew it would be perfect for the pattern. The quilting was done by Mary Barley at the Christmas Goose in Las Vegas.

    “Colors of Saddlerock” is by Liz Lansford. Liz works at the Circulation Desk as a substitute. The colors of the quilt are a slice of the color she sees throughout her neighborhood. Liz made this quilt as a gift for her husband and used a “Wing and a Prayer” design for this traditionally pieced quilt.

    “Tools of the Trade” is by Anne Uruburu, President of the Library’s Board of Trustees. Anne won a stack of block-of-the-month 3D spools from Red Rock Quilters and designed this quilt for her new quilting studio. The spool block was designed by Diana Upp.

    “What Quilters Think” is another quilt by Anne Uruburu. Anne discovered a panel with quilter’s sayings which she liked. She learned to miter corners with this panel, which she made to cover an electrical box in her quilting studio.

    “Garden Labyrinth” is by Krista Otto, who volunteers at the Circulation Desk on Wednesday afternoons. Krista adapted a quilt pattern by Sue Harvey and Sandy Boobar and she did the quilting herself. Krista plans to give this quilt to her nephew, who has waited many years for his own quilt.

    We hope that you enjoy another delightful show of quilts and stories. We are fortunate to have a talented community of quilters in our area, who generously share their treasures with us. As always, we offer a heartfelt thank you to Patty Krause for organizing the show and allowing us to display the quilts.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Sedona elections
    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
