    Verde Historical SocietyCottonwood AZ (April 12, 2021) – As the Verde Historical Society and Clemenceau Heritage Museum directors consider the possibilities of re-opening the history museum, there is a need for volunteers, especially on Saturday’s, to serve at the greeter desk, in gift shop sales and “engineers” are needed to operate the model trains in the Verde Valley Railroad Diorama exhibit. Residents of the Verde Valley, 18 and older, who are interested in its history and are willing to give a few hours of their time and energy to support that history, are welcome to join the society. Three-hour shifts are requested on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, 9:00-12:00 noon. Saturday shifts of two  hours are available between the hours of 11:00-1:00 & 1:00-3:00 or one four-hour shift is available from 11:00-3:00.

    At the greeter desk, hosts and hostesses welcome visitors, answer questions and talk about the museum’s collections, exhibits and relevance to the communities of the Verde Valley.  Gift Shop volunteers handle sales while assisting  with organizing and display of merchandise as well as keeping the shop tidy and appealing to shoppers. “Engineers” operate and maintain the model railroad narrow gauge trains and tell the stories of the historic railroads that once served the Verde Valley. This is a model railroaders dream come true! Training is provided for all positions.  Safety protocols are in place.

    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.
