    Arizona State ParksDeadline to Apply July 30

    Flagstaff AZ (July 10, 2015) – Arizona State Parks is offering Wilderness First Responder (WFR) scholarships for a Wilderness First Responder course taking place in Flagstaff. The funds for the scholarships will be taken from the federal Recreational Trails Program (RTP).

    Interested participants must complete an application and submit it to Arizona State Parks by the deadline on Thursday, July 30, 2015 at 5 p.m. The WFR is the perfect course for anyone working in a position of leadership in an outdoor setting or for individuals who want a high level of wilderness medical training for extended personal backcountry trips or expeditions.

    Wilderness First Responder is the recognized industry standard for those who work in the backcountry as trip leaders, camp counselors, guides, public safety, Search And Rescue members, and people working in outdoor or remote locations. WFR is a 72-hour course (including CPR) and is a comprehensive, in-depth, look at managing wilderness medical emergencies including response and assessment, musculoskeletal injuries, environmental emergencies and survival skills, soft tissue injuries, medical emergencies, and reporting and documentation. The training is practical, hands-on, and focuses on managing scenarios with the equipment typically carried in the field. The course includes classroom instruction, outdoor skills practice, and outdoor scenarios.

    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.
