    Healing Paws

    By Ted Grussing

    … wander and play with shapes, colors and patterns and then imagine yourself flying over one of the most incredible landscapes on the planet … look down and you will see this … a small portion of the Painted Desert within the boundaries of the Petrified Forest National Park located on either side of I-40 about twenty or so miles east of Holbrook, Arizona.

    I am going to be doing a full aerial shoot of the park over the next several weeks. I headed over there this morning to get a feel for it; next the Park Superintendent will be flying with me and we will locate each major point of interest and then I figure out how to best get the shots with the early morning and late afternoon light and then shoot it. Trust me though, the park is beautiful any time of day. The photographic series will be for the use of the National Park Service and the National Parks Conservation Association and added to the work I have done for both in the past.  

    The National Parks Conservation Association has just set up a new website: www.friendsofpetrifiedforest.org for Friends of the Petrified Forest … check it out and make a difference. The NPCA is a great organization in its own right and check them out at: www.npca.org .

    There is a movement afoot to obtain a more protected status (national monument) for the Sedona area which is being spearheaded by Keep Sedona Beautiful. Check the website out at: . You will also find a lot of my photographs on the website as well as many of another photographer I am known to hang with … a lot of work is necessary to make this a reality so if you would like to help preserve this area for future generations, get involved … visit the website and sign the petition under the “supporters” tab.

    I wasn’t able to get a lot of the photos I wanted this morning because of “managed fires” the USFS was conducting up on the plateau near Mormon Lake … smoke has to go somewhere and downwind (and into people’s lungs) is where it goes. The entire Petrified Forest National Park was covered in a light smoke haze from these fires. Amazing that in a culture where you are almost required to believe in manmade climate change, that putting billions of tons of smoke particulates and noxious and toxic gases annually into the atmosphere from prescribed and managed fires is tolerated.

    Ironic that the forest I am shooting is impervious to such events … smiles

    We’re into the weekend, have fun, smile a lot and give a hand to someone who needs it

    Cheers

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
