Living History Talk at Sedona Heritage Museum

April 3, 2017No Comments

Sedona AZ (April 3, 2017) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Wednesday April 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the Museum when Kevin Schindler will present a talk entitled: “Theodore Roosevelt Slept Here: A mostly nonfictional account of Theodore Roosevelt and his ties to Arizona”.

“Theodore Roosevelt probably had more impact on Arizona than any other president”, says Schindler, PIO/Historian at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. As Kevin worked documenting that impact, one of the most interesting things he found was the number of claims of where Roosevelt lodged when he was in Arizona. For example, several years ago, a hotel in Flagstaff included TR on a brochure that listed famous people to have stayed there. The problem is, Roosevelt died in 1919 and the hotel wasn’t built until 1927! Schindler will be sharing many interesting stories about this president’s many visits to Arizona and how he changed the future of our state.

Schindler enjoys research, particularly in the history of science. As an author, his books include: Flagstaff Festival of Science: The First 25 Years (with Bonnie Stevens), Images of America: Lowell Observatory, and The Far End of the Journey: Lowell Observatory’s 24-inch Clark Telescope. He is also working on two new books: Images of America: Northern Arizona Space Training with Bill Sheehan (release June 2017) and Lowell Observatory, Home of Pluto: A Lowellian History of the 9th Planet (due for release around Christmas 2017).

This is a free event and open to the public.

Every year, the Sedona Heritage Museum presents a series of Living History talks. Speakers include descendants of pioneers, long-time residents with historical stories to share or other story-tellers about history. The Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Historical Park in Uptown Sedona and is open daily 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
