Political Sign Vandalism Mystery

10/21/2024

0 Comments

  A mystery vandal is trashing political signs around Oracle.  The same thing happened two years ago when several signs were ripped up and thrown in porta potties at the time of the Oracle Run.  The perpetrator remains unidentified and is still at large. 
  So who's responsible is an open question.  Messing with political signs is a felony under AZ law...which may be part of the thrill experienced by the sign vandal
  There has been speculation that because all the signs stolen, bent up and trashed support Democrats, the other party (and maybe its MAGA wing) is responsible.  One such openly  MAGAite accosted me on our own property two years ago, screaming, completely unhinged, when I declined to allow posting of a Trump/Pence sign across from the OHS.

  Topping the run off will be award presentations of framed Michael Moore prints to triumphant runners (and walkers).  The tough 10K run is one of Oracle's premier annual events drawing an appreciative audience from near and far.

Oracle's Masterclass In Creativity

  Put composer/conductor Brian Holman (pictured here with Kaz) together with Steve Cook (Oracle Piano Society), Sharon Holnback (Triangle L), and Oracle Historical Society leaders (John Hernandez, Cinnamon Schiek, Kevin Armbrust), Damien Clinco (Arizona Historical Society) and what do you get?  A remarkable co-mingling of talent and energy that produced a multi-media production for the ages right in our own back yard. 
  If there's such a thing as a classic Oracle creative collaboration, back-to-back performances of "The Mine with the Iron Door" at the Triangle L and OrCA, accompanied by a talented ensemble of young musicians, gave exhilirating life to Holman's score (with Steve Cook on the weather machine, of course).

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
