    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (May 8, 2013) – Over 200 students from Big Park School participated in a Bike Rodeo presented by the Sedona Fire District on Friday, May 3, 2013, from 8:00 am to noon. The Rodeo is a bicycle-riding course designed with general hazards faced by most bicycle riders. It stresses safety and is designed to teach students what to look for when riding their bicycles.

    Students bring their bicycles and helmets to the Rodeo for an inspection prior to starting on an obstacle course that tests mounting and dismounting; straight-line control; weaving and maneuvering; short radius turning; braking; slow speed control; circling; and changing direction skills. Each student will earn a Bike License, complete with a photo and fingerprint, for participating in the Rodeo.

    Bicycle mechanics from local bike shops were on hand to assist with inspections and check-ups. Tours of the Guardian Air ambulance helicopter were available as well as a demonstration of the Department of Public Safety rollover simulator.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
