He’ll share discoveries made while leading survey groups of numerous archaeology sites over the course of several years. He’s a Governor’s Award in Public Archaeology award recipient, contributor to Archaeology Southwest, a former president of the Verde Valley Archaeology Society and popular speaker.

    Then in her presentation, “The Art of Rock Art” award-winning Sedona photographer Susie Reed will show some of her remarkable images and talk about rock art from an artist’s perspective. She’ll discuss how it was made, it’s purposes in ancient and modern times and how she brings pictographs and petroglyphs back to life in her fascinating, beautiful photos. She’ll also show a preview of what people will see during the rare guided tour to Honanki Heritage Site on March 19th.

    Susie Reed is considered an eminent photographer of Southwestern rock art. She’s also a conservation and preservationist who educates people about the value of archaeology sites by sharing her photos, speaking and leading tours. She has a deep affinity for rock art, which she’s been passionate about since 1995.

    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.
