April 25, 2017No Comments

Jerome AZ (April 25, 2017) – The Jerome Chamber of Commerce is preparing its yearly exploration of the back streets of this historic mining town with the 52nd Annual Home and Building Tour. Save the dates of May 20-21, 2017 for a look at some never before shown gems in the mile-high town.

This year’s lineup takes visitors into The Gulch for the second time. Once the site of a General Store, The Pontious House has been lovingly renovated to exude the charm of an historic home. Tin ceiling, roughhewn woodwork and copper accents make this a true Jerome gem.

The views from inside and out are spectacular. The property has the remains of steps and foundation of old buildings and offers a fascinating look at a part of town that once was filled with miners and their families in the early 20th century.

There will be plenty of parking out at the 300 level where a bus will pick you up to bring you to town for your tickets. The Tour starts with ticket sales at Spook Hall on Hull Avenue. Adults will pay $20 and $10 for kids. Free for children under 3. There will be lots of steps so wear comfortable shoes and prepare for an adventure.

Large vans will transport guests to the first stop at The Clubhouse, once the hospital in Jerome. Two more stops are walking distance so prepare for some steps and a walk on The Boardwalk of Jerome.

Then board a van to be driven to a home in The Gulch. Back in the van, you will be driven to the North/Dundee area for a look at 3 more homes, all interesting one of a kind homes.

There will be live music in Spook Hall most of the day, featuring The Jerome Ukulele Orchestra, Tommy Anderson, Hank Ervin and Tom Bauer. The Tour is not handicapped accessible.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
