    Janeen was nominated by the SHS Board and Vice-President, Bill Levengood. “She is the ‘go-to’ person for the community and beyond for Sedona history”, said Levengood. “During the past 20 years, Janeen has been involved in preservation of local history in many ways. There is little at the Sedona Heritage Museum that Janeen is not involved in on a daily basis to ensure accuracy, collections preservation and sharing of Sedona’s history.”

    “I am so honored to be recognized by my Board and volunteers and my peers around the State.” Janeen said in her acceptance speech. “It is a gift to learn and be an ambassador for Sedona’s past, our history-makers and our historic places.”  

    During the award presentation, AHS Executive Director James Burns outlined Janeen’s leadership in other history-based organizations and some of her many accomplishments and awards.

    This is the second time a Society Historian has won this prestigious award. Pioneer descendant Edith Denton was honored in 2003.

    The Arizona Historical Society established the Al Merito Award in 1973 to recognize individuals and organizations from every corner of the state who have made outstanding contributions and serve as role models for preserving Arizona’s rich history. Named for the nineteenth-century award bestowed by a newly independent government of Mexico for meritorious service to the Republic, al merito literally translates for merit. Today, the Arizona Historical Society’s highest honor acknowledges meritorious service for those who

    preserve and celebrate Arizona history.

    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.
