    logo_sedonamuseumSedona AZ (March 27, 2013) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Wednesday April 10 at 10:00 a..m. at the Museum. “Homesteading the Red Rocks in the 1920s-1930s: Archival and Archaeological Investigations of the Rogers and Rupe Homesteads” will feature Josh S. Edwards, a geoarchaeologist and consultant.

    20130327_468_Feature-3c-homestead1The Rupes and Rogers were homesteading families who obtained patents to their lands in 1927 and 1941, respectively, out in the Dry Creek area. This lecture will present the findings from excavations at the two homesteads, methods used during archival research, and the findings of this research. Edwards’ study was completed to assist Red Rock Aerie development to comply with federal law prior to subdividing and developing the two parcels. One surprising bit of information discovered is that George Rogers actually purchased the Rupe homestead before he completed the patent on his own homestead.

    Edwards earned his M.S. in Quaternary Sciences from Northern Arizona University and is the owner of Cornerstone Environmental Consulting in Flagstaff. His experience includes over eighteen years of archaeological survey and excavation in the Southwest with a continuing theme of human adaptation to environmental change. .

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
