    Sedona News – Words like freedom and liberty—what do they mean to you? To gallery owner and artist, Sahar Paydar, these are powerful notions of a place and time in which no one hears the words “You can’t.” A place where there are no restrictions on you—from how you dress to what you choose to believe. In her native Persian language, this liberty, this place, is expressed in the word AZADI.

    Paydar’s Rumi Tree Art Gallery (40 Soldiers Pass Road, Suite 12, Sedona, AZ 86336) presents its winter show titled THE AZADI EXHIBITION: Art, Women, and Liberty running December 3, 2022 – March 3, 2023. The exhibition will feature a multi-cultural perspective of women artists including Paydar, Patricia Saxton, Nancy Ruby, Narsis Rafati, and Soudi. On Saturday, December 3, 4 – 7 pm, Rumi Tree will hold the exhibition’s OPENING RECEPTION—a free event and open to the public, gallery guests will be served hors d’oeuvres and wine while enjoying the music of violinist Fiona Angel on the patio and viewing fine art. 

    Local and longtime Rumi Tree featured artist Patricia Saxton ties it all together: “Liberty is essential for healthy existence. And within that, art is a beautiful conduit for expression. I see art as a vessel conveying ideas and emotions where words may fail, and the experience is often felt on a deeply personal level.”

    Paydar is thrilled with this careful curation and expects that guests will not be disappointed. Nancy Ruby, and Soudi, who each bring rich and soothing oil pieces to the curation, have shown with Rumi Tree in the past and are welcomed back with gratitude. New to the gallery, Narsis Rafati (who lives in Lyon, France), brings beautiful watercolors to this curation, and looks forward to creating with Rumi Tree a different and exciting online exhibition in the spring (more on that later!).

    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.
