    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (February 22, 2012) – The Sedona Heritage Museum presents “A Conversation with Governor Hunt”, with Don Shields at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. This is another in a series of events at the Museum in celebration of Arizona’s centennial year.

    Enjoy this special re-enactment of Arizona’s first governor, George W.P. Hunt from 1912. Don Shields bears a striking likeness to the first governor as well as a voice and mannerisms reminiscent of the man. Utilizing extensive research (including interviews with Hunt family members), Shields presents stories of those first few years, the struggle to statehood, and the growth of the Baby State. After the show, he will enter into a dialogue with the audience.

    Don Shields has 34 years of teaching English, drama and speech behind him in his preparation of this 45 minute presentation.

    Shields has shared the stage with Arizona government dignitaries and spoke at the AZ Best Fest in Prescott last September. Marshall Trimble, the Arizona State Historian wrote, “Don, I declare you are the reincarnation of ol’ George W.P. Keep up the good work.”

    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.
