    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.

    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was.
