    Flagstaff AZ (October 23, 2013) – Travel with art historian Alan Petersen to the times and art of Swedish-American Gunnar Widforss (1879-1934), renowned for his watercolor paintings of national parks, especially the Grand Canyon.

    Petersen, curator of fine art for the Museum of Northern Arizona, is working on documenting the artist’s life and will share rarely seen images and stories during Travels With Gunnar Widforss, a discussion from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, November 3, at the Museum of Northern Arizona.

    20131023_tioga-passPetersen is working on a book about Widforss and a comprehensive catalog of his paintings. He is inspired by his “deep connection with the Swedish-American painter’s jewel-like watercolors of the American West and early work in Europe.”

    Also known for depicting landscapes of the Colorado Plateau in his own paintings, Petersen recently returned from Sweden where he met with members of Widforss family. He photographed more than 300 paintings and scanned 350 letters Widforss wrote throughout his 35-year career. Ultimately, more than 2000 paintings will be featured in the catalog.

    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.
