		<description>Thank you Sally, God knows I need blessing. As for you Mr. Bach, you are a heartless and mean creature.kicking sand in the face of the wounded and trodden.

There is still time to fight those lights. Tommy is a defeatest. The only intelligent point he makes is our being there looking over the construction crew shoulders to stop them the second they screw up.

And just wait till the election. Problem is I don&#039;t which candidates are on which side. It&#039;s hard to tell the old guard from the new. It&#039;s like watching he presidential Republican candidates...different heads on the same body.

Get those handcuffs out boys and girls and get ready to chain ourselves in the way of the construction equipment. Call the major news media and let them know we mean business. 

And I don&#039;t believe our mayor sold out to the lights just to run un-opposed. He is trying to make the best out of a really bad situation. ADOT and supporters simply outwitted the opposition. The 89A takeover ruse was a Trojan Horse.

Don&#039;t listen to Tommy Acosta. He is old and tired and stopped fighting for justice now that he is too-big a national news correspondent to concern himself with city politics and issues.

He let us down by letting the Sedona Times down. He&#039;s an aging rock musician who forgot his roots.

It&#039;s up to us now to lead the charge for truth and what is best for Sedona.</description>

		<description>Hi boys,  do you mind if a little ol girl like Me jumps into the conversation.  Gosh, poor little Sedona would just drop her basket of apples right there in the library parking lot if she knew what people in this town were up to from those cracks in the rocks.  And sweet Tommy don&#039;t you waste much of your time feeling sorry for those businesses along the highway now.  A friend told me that just about all of them voted for the lights because they believe they will get those jet setter night life people.  The one I feel sorry for is poor Miss Mable up the street who makes her weekly trip to the bank and market and to pay her bills.  The poor dear isn&#039;t what she used to be and one detour sign could send her into a tizzy, not to mention if she&#039;s swayed from her routine we just might not ever see her again.  

Now I don&#039;t know much about politics, but I&#039;m sure I also heard that mayor fella say he was against the lights when he was running for office.  Now he comes on with his pro-lights (will probably cut the ribbon), boots and jeans like he&#039;s a real cowboy, but we all know that real cowboys keep their word, so I&#039;m thinking he might just be one of those hollywood types.  Anyway I bet he&#039;s thinking he&#039;s going to make some big money from those lights and make a lot of people happy, but my friend Billy, Joe&#039;s first son from his second marriage, tells me that mayor doesn&#039;t know much more about politics then I do. And finding out that he doesn&#039;t stand an apples chance with a javalina of getting that dark sky thingy makes me think that Billy is probably right.

I&#039;ve said enough for now so I&#039;m going to go, but before I do I have a word for you Mr. &quot;that&#039;s America baby&quot; Boch, when you start making the man on the dollar bill more important than that man who lives next door you should just shuffle on back to Pheonix or Los Angeles or wherever you came from.  

And to you Tommy, god bless.   

Sincerely and best wishes,
Miss Sally</description>

		<description>Such negativity Mr. Acosta.  We have a capable leader in our Mayor who will surely be out on 89A serving coffee to the workers and lighting their cigarettes on their hourly breaks.  No one is running against him in this election so he has no accoutability.  He has plenty of time on his hands so who cares how long it takes to install the lights.  He has to line his pockets with the fruits of his efforts.  That&quot;s the perk of being Mayor.  You don&quot;t think he is Mayor for the $650 per month salary do you?  That would be an hourly rate of less than $5 per hour.    I bet 4 years ago you thought just like everyone did that he was against lights.  How wrong you were.  He became the champion of lights.  It&quot;s so easy to manipulate the leaders in small town Sedona.  We flipped him like a pancake.  He just said those things to beat ol Pud.   

This shouldn&quot;t be painful except to the trees which are going to die in the process.  Who cares?  We have plenty of trees in Sedona.  Notice you don&quot;t hear a peep from Sierra Club about the trees.  They don&quot;t care.  No one cares about these businesses who are going to die either.  Certainly not the Chamber.  They only protect their own, their members.  If the businesses die they weren&quot;t meant to be alive and there will be cheap real estate on the market.

Once the election takes place next month the real estate interests will be in charge again.  Those people are going to swoop into those empty locations, buy up the property from distressed property holders CHEAP.  That&quot;s America.  That&quot;s the system.  Don&quot;t hate the player.  Hate the game.

The old guard is back and we are taking control of the economy of this town for our benefit.  That&quot;s America baby.

Where is Perez that no good hippie?</description>

		<description>Michele and the Sedona area migh be interested to know that a (distant) relative of hers, the Reverend Nathaniel Page Lauriat, was a resident of Oak Creek for many years, living in retirement but continuing to preach in the Unitarian-Universalist faith, until his death there in or about 2005.  Nat loved the area, its beauty and its vistas, and his daughter, Anne and we, his nephew and family, always enjoyed our visits to Sedona.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s important to remember that recycling is not as environmentally sound as reuse - if you can a way to extend the working life of your electronics it&#039;s still preferable to recycling.  The only exception to this would be where there is an energy inefficiency factor to take into account.</description>

		<description>I birded the WW Treatment Plant twice with the local Audubon Society some years ago.  Besides the main treatment pond area there were about three overflow ponds adjacent to Hwy 89A.  City Hall failed to maintain these overflow ponds, so vegetation took over and they soon filled in with weeds.  The overflow ponds were in the location of the &quot;new&quot; wetlands under construction.

One problem that cropped up was that the police shooting range was moved from FS land just north of Jordan Road to the WW plant.  We birders were eventually told we could no longer drive into the area we originally used for parking because there might be shooting taking place nearby.  So today we have the City of Sedona Police Shooting Range, which the Cottonwood PD uses, at our WW Treatment Plant.

And now we are getting [re]constructed wetlands for birding which require an effluent upgrade to A+, with injection wells coming soon.  How much will the tab be when all is said and done?  I estimate well over $30 million.  No wonder we sewer ratepayers have ten years worth of WW fee increases coming down the pike that, no doubt, are only the beginning.</description>
