    Doubling last year’s turnout, Sedona Parks and Recreation along with the new YMCA wraps up 2012 with an estimated 400 locals for the annual Breakfast With Santa.

    logo_ymcaSedona AZ (December 27, 2012) – This certainly has been a season to be jolly with over 400 friends and family joining together for the annual Breakfast with Santa. Held at the new Y at the Sedona Teen Center on Dec. 1st, this festive event included a free pancake and sausage breakfast, various seasonal crafts for kids and lots of children’s pictures taken with Santa Claus.

    The morning kicked off with a fun 1 mile walk/run around the park led by the owners of the Sedona Running Company. The Sedona Community Food Bank collected a generous amount of non perishable food items at the door.

    Plans are underway to make next year’s event even more magically delicious by expanding the menu to include scrambled eggs, locally roasted organic coffee and more.

    “This event has brought our team at the Y closer together with the larger community”, said Jim Allen, YMCA coordinator. “The number of volunteers who showed up to make this a success was inspiring for everyone. And I think people are seeing that the Y doesn’t just serve the community, we are the community and we plan to stay.“

    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→
