    logo_museumofnorthernarizonaSedona AZ (January 29, 2015) – The Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) and the Sedona Muses present “Mean Green–Poisonous Plants with Dr. Gwendolyn Waring,” Monday, February 9, at 7 p.m. The lecture is the second in the organizations’ monthly series running through April at the Sedona United Methodist Church, 110 Indian Cliffs Road. Tickets are $6 for MNA and Sedona Muses members and $7 for nonmembers and are available for purchase at MNA, Bashas’ in Sedona, Weber’s IGA at the Village of Oak Creek, or at the door beginning at 6:30 p.m. the evening of the event.

    20150129_Datura-2Native plant expert and ecologist Dr. Gwendolyn Waring will discuss the region’s surprising variety of poisonous plants, their beneficial and toxic effects, the evolutionary history of the relationship of plants and animals, and interactions between flowering plants and insect herbivores.

    Waring is a scientist and artist based in Flagstaff, Ariz. She has a Ph.D in biology with an emphasis on plant-animal interaction and approaches her research as an evolutionary ecologist. She is currently identifying plants that are associated with critical habitats, such as springs, in northern Arizona.

    “This season’s presenters provide great insight into the potentially dangerous flora and fauna that call the Colorado Plateau home,” said Sedona Muses board member Rebecca DeVault. “This lecture series is a wonderful way to learn about the incredible biodiversity of the region.”

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
