    logo_olli2Sedona AZ (April 11, 2018) – Prof. S. Sommer will present two talks at Sedona’s Yavapai College, on Thursday, April 12 and on Thursday April 19, start time 6 PM. Dr. Sommer’s first talk is on Climate Change and Our Life Support Systems. The second talk is on Climate Refugees and Arizona’s Future. Both events are open to the public.

    Both talks are data-driven presentations about our current scientific understanding of climate change. Dr. Sommer emphasizes “Both will be delivered in terms easy and simple to understand but fully cover current understanding of the climate change that has already taken place, how these changes have already affected ecosystems and human systems, and how they impact our future safety and well-being. The presentations will project ongoing climate change into the future to discuss the outcomes expected in coming decades up to the year 2100.” Prof. Sommer, a seasoned lecturer, notes “I am confident folks will walk away with a better understanding of the cause and impacts of climate change that we see in the data. I hope to clear up some of the misinformation ”

    Prof. Sommer has a long, strong, and distinguished academic background. Dr. Stefan Sommer is Director of the Colorado Plateau Biodiversity Center and Director of Education at Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research at NAU. Prof. Sommer has also produced several films: he is Executive Producer of A River Reborn: the Restoration of Fossil Creek and a film series on biodiversity entitled Treasuring Our Natural Heritage. The latter films can be viewed at

    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.
