    logo_lettereditorMany voluntary organizations in Austalia are risking their lives to save our Koalas. I am originally from Australia but, now live in Sedona. Many  Koalas are burned and crying out in pain and they need months of very expensive medical care. I checked out all the organizations and chose “Friends of the Koala” to support which is licensed, certified, non profit  and listed under The New South Wales Wildlife Council. They are not big like the huge organizations that are getting all the publicity and are desperate for more financial help to be able to hire their own vet and pay for all the long term care. Their volunteers are risking their lives to go into fire areas to search for them and have been doing this work for years as there are bushfires every year.

    Koalas are on the verge of extinction so the situation has become desperate. They live in the trees so are most injured or destroyed from the fires.

    Please open your hearts and donate to Friends of the Koala in Lismore, New South Wales north of Sydney. They are transporting by car the critical Koalas to the Steve Irwin Australia Zoo several hours north which so far has taken in 90,000 wildlife and are also over whelmed.

    You can donate right on line and watch videos on their website. Their volunteers are under tremendous stress searching every day but, won’t give up.  

    We cannot have a world without Koalas. Please help.  If you have questions please call me day or evening in Sedona at 282-4566 or email at faithfuljoan@earthlink.net

    Thank you,

    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.
