    logo_ksbSedona AZ (November 2, 2015) – On Wednesday, November 11, Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc. (KSB) will feature Jean Turocy, Director of Education and Community Outreach for Sedona Recycles, at KSB’s Preserving the Wonder(tm) Speaker Series. She will speak in depth about ways to recycle for the benefit of Sedona’s home environment and beyond.

    Members, residents, and visitors are all welcome to join KSB at 5:30 pm at its historic Pushmataha Center on 360 Brewer Road. The evening will include complimentary appetizers donated by El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano and refreshments provided by KSB.

    KSB representatives highlighted the importance of recycling in keeping Sedona beautiful: in a consumer-driven society, they said, it is both wise and necessary to stay current with recycling practices, which are prone to change as rapidly as technology develops or becomes obsolete and as new merchandise becomes available. Recycling, they reminded, is the cornerstone of sustainable living: it conserves land resources, water, energy, minerals, and oil. Every individual and organization can make a difference.

    20151030_SRIccorpsMs. Turocy will explain why recycling is necessary; what happens when things are not recycled (what a landfill really is); which materials are accepted; where the materials go and what they become; what materials are not accepted, why, and alternatives; resources for odd item disposal; “greenwashing” and differences between recycling methods, and what recycling is and isn’t. Attendees will also learn more about Sedona Recycles, recycling ethics, and community involvement.

    Jean Turocy has taught science in public school and informal education programs for all ages. She decided to focus on environmental education, she said, after witnessing how little students were being taught about it. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Sciences with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh.

    Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that, acting through the stewardship of its members and volunteers, is committed to protecting and sustaining the unique scenic beauty and natural environment of the Greater Sedona Area.

    KSB welcomes the community and visitors alike to its monthly Preserving the Wonder(tm) Speaker Series, held the second Wednesday of each month from September to June. For more information about Keep Sedona Beautiful, please call 928.282.4938, or visit http://www.keepsedonabeautiful.org/.

    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.
