    KSB Virtual Speaker Series on Wednesday, April 14

    Keep Sedona BeautifulSedona AZ (April 5, 2021) – Keep Sedona Beautiful is pleased to host its monthly Preserving the Wonder™ Speaker Series webinar on Wednesday, April 14th at 5:00 pm.  This month’s “virtual” guest is Dr. Nancy Steele, an Arizona native and the Executive Director and CEO of Friends of the Verde River.

    Friends of the Verde River works collaboratively for a healthy flowing Verde River System.  According to Dr. Steele, “Arizona’s Verde River is one of the last healthy, flowing river systems remaining in the state, a place of beauty and respite, an economic engine for Arizona, and a national treasure recognized for its wild and scenic values.  And yet, in the face of a drying climate and increasing groundwater pumping, the Verde is at risk of drying up.  What can we do to save this hard-working river?”

    20210331_VVWatershedGraphicBefore joining Friends in 2018, Nancy was the Executive Director of the Council for Watershed Health in Los Angeles for ten years. She co-founded the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy in 2000, serving as President/CEO through 2011 and as Director of Conservation in 2017.

    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→
