    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (March 31, 2020) – To limit the spread of COVID-19, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey issued a stay-at-home order for all of Arizona until April 30, 2020.

    The order says Arizona residents must limit time away from the house except: 

    • To conduct or participate in essential activities.
    • For employment, to volunteer or participate in essential functions.
    • To utilize any services or products provided by essential business services.
    • For employment if as a sole proprietor or family owned business, work is conducted in a separate office space from your home and the business is not open to serve the public.

    Under this Executive Order, essential activities include:

    • Obtaining necessary supplies and services for family, household members and pets, such as groceries, food and supplies for household consumption. 
    • Engaging in activities essential for health and safety, including things such as seeking medical, behavioral health or emergency services and obtaining medical supplies or medication. 
    • Caring for a family member, friend, or pet in another household or residence, which includes but is not limited to transportation for essential health and safety activities and to obtain necessary supplies and services for the other household. 
    • Engaging in outdoor exercise activities, such as walking, hiking, running, biking or golfing, but only if appropriate physical distancing practices are used.
    • Attending work in or conducting essential services which includes but is not limited to transporting children to child care services for attending work in an essential service.
    • Engaging in constitutionally protected activities such as speech and religion, the democratic process to include voting any legal or court process provided that such is conducted in a manner that provides appropriate physical distancing to the extent feasible.

    Restaurants are still allowed to offer take out and delivery services, spas and salons may continue to operate, but non-essential businesses must close, if they haven’t already. 

    Anyone who violates this proclamation will be notified and given the opportunity to comply. After that, anyone who doesn’t comply will be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.  

    This Executive Order supersedes Sedona Mayor Sandy Moriarty’s Emergency Proclamation, but Moriarty supports the Governor’s decision. “The time is now for people to start treating social distancing like their lives depend on it—because it just might,” said Moriarty.

    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.
