    Sedona AZ (October 18, 2013) – 80-year-old Sedona resident Phyllis Lindberg is dead after being struck by a falling tree while on a hike with  on the West Fork Trail in Oak Creek Canyon.

    She was hiking with four friends Thursday morning, October 17. The group stopped for lunch shortly after 11 a.m. and rested on a log near the creek when a large tree fell and struck Lindberg, narrowly missing the other hikers. One member of the group was slightly injured in the accident. She was treated and released at a local hospital with head and scalp wounds after she jumped out of the way of the falling tree.

    Members of the hiking party called 911 and responding Sedona Fire personnel say Lindberg was declared dead at the scene from impact injuries.

    Ms. Lindberg, a 40 year Sedona resident, was an avid hiker and was with her hiking friends when the accident happened. She was also a botanist who could name every tree and flower in the area.

      Phyllis Lindberg was one of the treasures of Sedona. She was a great friend to many and a valuable volunteer. We’re glad she was doing what she loved when she left us. She is deeply missed.

      Everyone whose life was touched by Phyllis is in mourning. She will long be remembered and memories cherished. My heart goes out to her family and all her caring friends. I trust the residents of the City of Sedona will honor her is some special way.

      A friend of Phyllis’ for 34 years,

      What a loss! Phyllis was the first person who befriended us when we moved to Sedona. We were always comparing notes about hiking, gardening, our cats–just a wonderful person who will be missed. I’ll miss her spirit and distinctive laugh!

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
