    logo_jeromechamberJerome AZ (May 13, 2019) – The Jerome Chamber of Commerce is ready for its yearly exploration of the back streets of this historic mining town with the 54th Annual Home and Building Tour. Save the dates of May 18 – 19, 2019 for a look at some totally renovated gems in the mile-high town.

    The tour will include a look at The Reber House, built in 1917. Dr Louis Reber built this home to please his bride and even measured the waist to floor length to be sure the kitchen sink would fit her exactly right. Dr. Reber was Chief Geologist for the United Verde Copper Company.  He earned his PhD in geology from Yale and became the chief geologist right after graduation. He is credited with developing the concept of aerial photography for ore identification. He was in and out of Jerome and then returned from 1953 to 1964 as a general agent for Phelps Dodge. After his death in 1966, his materials were donated to the NAU geology department.

    Don and Kathi Feher bought this home three years ago.  Don was born in Jerome over seventy years ago and lived in this neighborhood as a child.  They have completed a major renovation of the entire interior space. Don, having been in the cabinet business for thirty years, restored the original wood floor, and constructed the all of the interior woodwork in old growth Douglas fir.  In addition, they built up stone walls, made walkways and planted the hillside gardens.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
