    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (October 14, 2016) – At the Tuesday, October 11, 2016 City Council meeting, the city of Sedona approved the proclamation that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In coordination and as a symbol of the Sedona Police Department’s dedication to this cause, officers have placed purple ribbon magnets on their patrol vehicles that say “End Domestic Violence.”

    “This demonstration of support is another way we are letting the community know we value this cause and are helping every day through our line of work to end domestic violence,” said city of Sedona Police Chief Ron Wheeler.

    20161014_cityThe city of Sedona’s proclamation follows the White House’s recent Presidential Proclamation from President Barack Obama, which states, “Safeguarding and opening doors of opportunity for every American will remain a driving focus for our country — and we know that crimes like domestic violence inhibit our nation from reaching its fullest potential. This month, let us once again pledge our unwavering support to those in need and recognize the advocates, victim service providers and organizations who work tirelessly to extend hope and healing to survivors and victims every day.”

    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.
