    logo_sedonapubliclibrarySedona AZ (October 25, 2019) – Besides being home to famous national parks such as Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Saguaro, Arizona boasts 35 state parks and state historic parks. In our own backyard, we have Slide Rock and Red Rock State Parks. Nearby, you can visit Dead Horse Ranch State Park or Fort Verde State Historic Park. Just up the road in Flagstaff, you can explore local history at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park.

    To learn more about Arizona’s state parks, join award-winning travel writer Roger Naylor at 10:30 a.m. in the community room at Sedona Public Library on Tuesday, November 5. At this program, Roger will share excerpts and photos from his latest book, “Arizona State Parks: A Guide to Amazing Places in the Grand Canyon State.” 

    During his presentation, the author will describe the scenic wonders, rich history, and recreational opportunities found in Arizona state parks. He will recommend some of the best hiking, camping, fishing, boating, stargazing, and wildlife watching. His book also features attractions, activities, and popular events near each state park.

    Ashley M. Biggers, author of “Eco-Travel New Mexico: 86 Natural Destinations, Green Hotels, and Sustainable Adventures,” writes about Roger’s book, “With his been-there-hiked-that approach, Roger Naylor has created a definitive guide to Arizona’s thirty-five state parks and natural areas. He takes us there with evocative prose, inviting us to journey into the backcountry for epic hikes, family-friendly swimming holes, and remarkable natural wonders.”

    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.
