    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.

    Prior to her nonprofit work, Nancy worked in various California environmental and health agencies, focusing on reducing the environmental and health impacts of pollution, including diesel emissions from heavy-duty trucks and buses and childhood lead poisoning. She is a member of the board of the Infrastructure Funding Alliance and the Arizona Forward Northern Regional Council.

    Nancy earned her doctorate in Environmental Science and Engineering from University of California, Los Angeles. She received her M.S. in zoology from Arizona State University; and her A.B. in biology from Occidental College. Nancy was born and raised in Phoenix and loves being outdoors, especially in the southwest.  She and her husband have operated an urban beekeeping business for 40 years.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
