    logo_imaginationlibraryCottonwood AZ (January 11, 2020) – Mark your calendars for Blazin’ for Books, the first Celebration and Fundraiser for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in the Verde Valley, to be held Feb. 23, 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Blazin’ M Ranch, 1875 Mabery Ranch Rd, Cottonwood, AZ 86326.

    Tickets are $50 per person and include a Chuckwagon dinner, special entertainment, raffle, silent and live auctions, and more. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Verde Valley Imagination Library (VVIL), the local affiliate that funds Dolly Parton’s program. Each month, 2000 Verde Valley children ages 0 to 5 receive a free age-appropriate book labelled in their name, mailed directly to their home. The program costs $30 per child, per year for 12 quality books chosen by an advisory panel of educators. 

    “Babies are born listening and learning. Ninety percent of a child’s brain develops before kindergarten and reading together builds vocabulary and language, the foundation for literacy. Parent really are the first teachers,” said Dr. Jean Barton, Director of Enrollment and Promotion for the Verde Valley program. “We want every child to be ready to succeed in school “

    The Verde Valley Imagination Library is an All-Volunteer-Organization that depends on community support. Newborn nurses, children’s librarians, Head Start and preschool directors help parents enroll. This year’s funders include all Rotary Clubs in the Verde Valley, United Way of Yavapai County, Yavapai Title Agency’s employee giving and other individual donors. Help us sustain this wonderful program.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
