    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona 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).

    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→
