    logo_leagueofwomenvotersVerde Valley AZ (February 2, 2016) – One of the key issues in the 2016 Arizona state elections will be the direction and funding of education in our state. From the special ballot measure election in May to the candidates who are elected to the Legislature in the August Primaries and the November General Election, the philosophy of public education and the resulting policies and priorities will chart the future course of education in Arizona. 

    Award winning educator, administrator, author and Sedona resident, Dr. Rosemary Papa, Ed.D., will address education issues in Arizona on Monday, February 15 at a free voter education meeting organized by the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley in partnership with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) of Yavapai College. This meeting is part of a League monthly series dedicated to 2016 Arizona Critical Election Issues. 

    photo_rosemarypapaDr. Papa’s  presentation, “The State of Arizona Education: Ground Zero is Not the Goal,” will highlight the current issues facing public education in Arizona, discuss education privatization efforts and outline efforts that voters can take to ensure that appropriate public education is provided for all children.  

    According to Dr. Papa, “High quality, public education is the key to success and the right of all children in Arizona.  Your vote matters to your children, and to your children’s children to preserve democracy and positive civic behavior in our country.  Raise questions of candidates as to their stand on education and study the ballot issues with respect to education.  Be informed and then vote.”

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
