    logo_KSBSedona AZ (May 17, 2013) – The E. L. MacFarlane Award was given to KSB president Tom O’Halleran to honor significant achievements with respect to his continuous and tireless efforts to protect the environment. Given at the organization’s Annual Awards of Excellence luncheon, Anita MacFarlane presented the award which was established in 2003 in honor of her late husband, also known as “Mac” and/or “Doc” MacFarlane, a KSB former president from 1980-1983 and active member for many years. According to MacFarlane, “This is an award reserved for recognizing significant achievements by KSB members whose work with state and federal officials has resulted in legislation or other actions which further the goals of KSB. This award will not be given lightly, nor should it be considered an annual award”.

During his four years with KSB as trustee and president, Tom O’Halleran has volunteered thousands of hours on issues relating to environmental protection. He has worked with local, county, state and federal officials involving protections of Oak Creek riparian habitat, protections of wilderness areas, preservation of open space through the Coconino National Forest Management Plan, and the development of policy, including the National Scenic Area.

    “One of the highest priorities and one of the primary reasons for receiving this award are his many years of work on water issues both locally and statewide. His longstanding efforts for better education of his colleagues at the legislature and work with several groups to educate the general public about water issues and now, at the Verde River Basin Partnership to save the Verde River.

    “The achievements KSB has made in the last two years are largely due to Tom’s strong decisive leadership, creative and collaborative efforts with local, county, state and federal agencies and his efforts at transparency of all issues.

    Belief vs. Suspicion: Will Iran go the Way of Iraq, Gaza and Palestine?

    It was belief that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction that led us into war with Iraq. It’s suspicion that Iran seeks to build a nuclear warhead that has led us into war with them.
    As it turned out, Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Will it be the same with Iran?
