    Camp Verde AZ (January 13, 2018) – Accord Hospice of Sedona is hosting a free, community screening of the documentary “Being Mortal” on Wednesday, January 17, 2017 at 10 am at the Camp Verde Community Library, 130 Black Bridge Road in Camp Verde. After the screening, audience members can participate in a guided conversation on what the next steps are in identifying and communicating your wishes about end-of-life goals and preferences.

    The film, aired nationally on the PBS program “Frontline” in February of 2015 and follows surgeon, Dr. Atul Gawande, as he shares stories from the people and families he encounters who are facing terminal illness. When Dr. Gawande’s own father gets cancer, his search for answers about how best to care for the dying becomes a personal quest. “Since the film aired, it has been shown across the country, prompting those who view it to explore their own desires about advance care directives and the decision to ultimately have a conversation with their loved ones about those wishes,” said Susan Turner, Director of Accord Hospice of Sedona. Turner continued “It is truly a remarkable film based on Dr. Gawande’s book by the same name. We are excited to partner with the Camp Verde Community Library on such an important topic.”

    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.
