    logo_wellredcoyoteSedona AZ (April 15, 2014) – Arizona author, Lili DeBarbieri, will present an entertaining afternoon of Arizona film and movie history, including Sedona, on Saturday, April 19 at 2:00 pm, at The Well Red Coyote bookstore.

    20140415_AZ-Film-Book-Cover1The scenic natural vistas of Arizona’s deserts and mountains have made it a favorite backdrop of movies and television shows. Westerns, such as silent-era pictures derived from Zane Grey fiction through the John Ford–John Wayne classics Stagecoach and The Searchers, benefited from our beautiful and rugged landscapes. TV classics such as Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prairie helped define Arizona’s allure for Hollywood. Oscar winners Jerry Maguire and Little Miss Sunshine took advantage of the infrastructure that accumulated to lure filmmakers to Tucson, Yuma, Phoenix, Prescott, Sedona and all corners of the Grand Canyon State.

    DeBarbieri will discuss the movies and shows shot in the state, as well as other aspects of Arizona film culture.

    Lili DeBarbieri is a nonfiction author, librarian and travel expert. Her notable, best-selling debut book, A Guide to Southern Arizona’s Historic Farms and Ranches, was named a New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards finalist. An accomplished and versatile writer, her work has appeared in a diverse range of publications over the years.. She is a local stringer for Agence France-Presse, an international news agency, and has served as contributing editor of Ethical Traveler. A Philadelphia native, she now lives in Tucson, Arizona.

    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.
