    logo_ycsoSedona AZ (December 1, 2014) – On November 27, 2014, a 61-year-old Tucson woman suffered a fatal fall while hiking near the Devil’s Bridge outside Sedona in the Coconino National Forest.

    The Sedona Fire Department was called out around 4PM on November 27, 2014, regarding an injured hiker that had fallen on what is known as the “stairs’ located next to Devil’s Bridge. This area is composed of natural red rock with some of the rock stacked in such a way to form a very steep staircase. When fire personnel arrived about 30 minutes after the call, they found the victim with her husband and 2 other persons, who identified themselves as doctors, attempting to revive her. The victim had suffered head trauma from a fall estimated at 8 feet.

    The victim’s husband told deputies he was hiking with his wife and son and when they reached the Devil’s Bridge, his wife decided not to venture out on the bridge. She told them she would begin hiking back ahead of them and left towards the stairs. According to the victim’s husband, he and his son began hiking back only 30 seconds after she left. As both were hiking down the stairs, they discovered she had fallen. Two people who identified themselves as doctors were next to her and had started CPR. The doctors alternated resusciation efforts until the arrival of fire personnel who pronounced her deceased.

    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.
