    logo_ksbSedona AZ (April 29, 2016) – Mike Yarbrough, Executive Vice President of Keep Sedona Beautiful, was presented with The Initiative Award by the City of Sedona at their Volunteer Appreciation Lunch on April 21. This award recognizes “the volunteer who takes initiative and runs with it.”  Mike proactively requested that the city form a Citizen’s Engagement Group to analyze airport noise, and propose recommendations. Mike was recognized for working diligently and respectfully to make progress on noise and airport issues.  

    photo_mikeyarbroughThe Citizen’s Engagement Group concluded that there are four specific issues that should be addressed.  First, there should be resident representation on the Sedona Airport Authority (SAA) Board.  The current SAA airport board is comprised solely of airplane owners and renters of hanger space at the airport.   Second, tour operators are required to maintain only 1 million dollars in liability coverage, which is inadequate and leaves taxpayers at risk should a significant accident occur.  Third, SAA proposals for airport expansion pose a risk of significantly increasing noise.  Finally, helicopter tour operations should and can be regulated. 

    Residents who are impacted by increasing noise from airport operations can contact the officials listed below to express concerns and first-hand observations: County Commissioner Chip Davis (chip.davis@yavapai.us), County Attorney Jack Fields (jack.fields@yavapai.us), Yavapai County Administrator Phil Bourdon (phil.bourdon@yavapai.us), Sedona City Manager Justin Clifton (jclifton@sedonaAZ.gov), Chair of the Citizen’s Engagement Group Mike Yarbrough (michaelyarbrough3@gmail.com).

    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→
