    Verde Valley, AZ (November 11, 2011) – Arizona Public Service (APS) will be conducting routine vegetation maintenance along several 69 KV utility corridors on the Coconino National Forest located in the National Forest in and around Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, and south to the Village of Oak Creek. According to APS Forestry and Special Programs manager, Jeff Spohn, “the purpose of this routine vegetation treatment is to create a safety zone and to remove hazard trees and heavy fuel vegetation in and around these power lines”. He also mentions that APS contract crews will be working along these power line corridors over the next several months and asks the public to please avoid these areas during maintenance operations.

    A Corridor Management Plan (CMP) was created in cooperation with the Coconino National Forest to address natural resource objectives. This plan describes the procedures proposed by APS for the management of vegetation over the next 10 years, the conservation measures to be implemented for these activities, the vegetation clearance standards for the power line, and the specialist reports. Vegetation maintenance would be scheduled approximately every five years.

    Under the CMP, the full right-of-way area will be treated with attention placed on meeting the visual quality objectives. Historically, the vegetation has been maintained primarily on a reactive basis, where only immediate problems have been treated. Some of the hazards of an unmaintained corridor include: the potential of trees growing into the line or falling into the line; arcing of the line or creating a fire hazard to the line and structures; and the need for a thorough vegetation treatment plan.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
