    Yavapai County SheriffSedona AZ (April 9, 2012) – On Saturday, April 7, 2012, at approximately 10:15 AM, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office was notified that a body had been found in Woods Canyon area, southeast of Sedona. The body was located more than 8 miles outside the Village of Oak Creek adjacent to a creek bed. The searcher, who had volunteered his time in previous search efforts on behalf of the Schwartz family, believed the body was that of James Schwartz. YCSO Forest Patrol personnel were called to the location and with assistance from the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Back Country Unit, were able to remove the body to a DPS Ranger Helicopter waiting nearby. The body was airlifted to the US Forest Service grounds in the Village of Oak Creek and released to the Medical Examiner.

    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.
