Time to Watch “Time to Play”

Sedona AZ (March 24, 2017) – Running River School will host a free screening of Kim Hunter’s 45-minute documentary “Time to Play” at 221 Brewer Road on Friday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m.

If you know any small children you know they have loads of energy. But the ways in which they release that energy has become a topic of concern for Hunter, early childhood educator. So much so, that she has made the documentary on the subject.

The documentary about Waldorf pedagogy was directed and produced by Hunter who was a recipient of the Canadian Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in 2015. Experts featured in the film discuss the difficulties that occur in childhood development when they don’t have free time to play or when they’re preoccupied by technology.

“Our days are so over-scheduled that the opportunities for ‘down time’ just don’t exist in a healthy way anymore for most people,” Hunter says. “The biggest effects of this imbalance are on the youngest ones among us who are victims of society’s speed and competitiveness.”

After the film there will be a discussion period led by Hunter. The film is directed at people who spend time with young children like parents, grandparents and teachers but anyone in the community is welcome to attend.

“I made ‘Time to Play’ because I’m concerned about the changes I’ve seen in child development over the last 20 years,” Hunter said. “I hope to stimulate a cultural conversation that can change the way we relate to the early years of human development.”

Hunter currently lives on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, Canada. After a cross-Canada tour she decided to show her film around the United States and will be in Arizona only a short time.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
