Be in the world, but not of it

Not far from our former home in Avondale flows the Agua Fria River. I have, on many occasions, observed people fishing from its banks, wondering if the fish were good to eat. That question was answered for me when warning signs were posted. In bold, red letters, each sign states: “Warning! Do not eat fish taken from these waters. Fish may be contaminated with hazardous toxins!” The warning was enough for me because I did not want to knowingly poison myself, and quite possibly endanger my life. We live in a society that produces an abundance of hazardous waste. There…

OHV riders: Protect habitat, stay on trails and avoid wet, muddy areas

While it’s tempting to head out on an off-highway vehicle (OHV) following rain or a snowstorm, soggy trails quickly turn muddy, and riding on them can create long-lasting damage that negatively impacts wildlife habitat.  The Arizona Game and Fish Department advises OHV riders that come upon wet and muddy roads to resist the urge to hit the gas and instead turn around or avoid the area. Splashing or mudding straight through can tear up roads and trails, making them impassable for others and causing serious damage to meadows, streams and other areas important to wildlife and Arizona’s water supply. Even…
