    logo_sedonamuseumSedona AZ (March 31, 2013) – Sedona’s first architect, Howard Madole, is turning 90 years old, and the Sedona Heritage Museum and the Madole family are throwing a public party to help him celebrate on Sunday, May 5th from 2-4 p.m..

    Howard came to Sedona in 1948 to help his parents develop 10 acres of land they had purchased in West Sedona. In the process he re-discovered his love for architecture and building. In 1955, Howard became involved with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West where he helped to build the Usonian design structure that sits there today. Howard returned to his own work in Sedona and pioneered his own style using native shist stone, wood 2x4s on edge for roofing materials, flared roof lines and thin edged fascias, unusual pitched ceilings and living room shapes, and stone walls and fireplaces that penetrated large glass walls. These design elements would all become signature elements of Madole’s style.

Moving to Phoenix, he continued to design custom homes and contemporary commercial buildings, some of which were award winning.

    In Sedona, several of his signature homes survive – some maintain a high degree of integrity to their original form and materials. Four of his homes have been designated Sedona Historic Landmarks. Mr. Madole is recognized as a notable Arizona architect of the mid-20th century style and over the decades a following of afficionados has developed.

A brief program with dignitaries and comments from Mr. Madole himself will occur at 2:30 p.m. Photos, a slide show and drawings of some of his Sedona designs will be on display.

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
