    Verde Valley AZ
    (February 2, 2012) – The Yavapai County Attorney’s Office has collaborated with several local museums to celebrate Arizona’s Centennial and to preserve a piece of history of the Verde Valley. Working with Sharlot Hall exhibit designer George Fuller, an exhibit of historical photographs has been created for the Camp Verde offices of the Yavapai County Attorney, located at the criminal justice complex at 2830 N. Commonwealth Drive, Suite 106.

    This permanent exhibit features professionally enhanced and framed reproductions of photographs between 1870 and 1930. The photographs depict themes from life in the Verde Valley such as schools, transportation, law enforcement and communities. Cottonwood, Rimrock, Camp Verde, Sedona, Clarkdale and Jerome are all represented in the exhibit. Each display features a plaque with a brief explanation of the historic significance.

    Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk commented, “I think it is so important to preserve our unique history and to create visual legacies in our public buildings. This is our third project working with exhibit designer George Fuller and he does wonderful work.”

    The exhibit has received the designation from the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission as an official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project. The Yavapai County Arizona Centennial Committee granted to the Yavapai County Attorney the right to use the county’s centennial logo. Photographs were reproduced with permission from Sharlot Hall Museum, Clemenceau Heritage Museum, and Sedona Historical Society and Heritage Museum.

    The exhibit will be unveiled to the public at an Open House on Friday, February 10, 2012 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office in Camp Verde. The public is invited to attend. Guided tours and refreshments will be available during the Open House.

    “I am excited about this collection and this opportunity to preserve for public viewing the history of our region,” said Polk. “The photographs are fascinating, endearing, and really fun. It is a great way to commemorate Arizona’s Centennial.”

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
