    logo_ksbSedona AZ (June 4, 2014) – Keep Sedona Beautiful’s Speaker Series ends its 2013-2014 season Wednesday, June 11 at 5:30 pm with a program featuring Nicole Branton, Red Rock District Ranger of the Coconino National Forest. 

    Branton’s talk will focus on the State of the Red Rock District, the Slide Fire and her impressions of the issues we are facing together.

    The evening includes complimentary appetizers donated by El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano and refreshments provided by Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB). 

    Originally from an urban setting in St. Louis, Missouri, Ranger Branton discovered her passion for forest lands as an adult earning her degree in Anthropology at the University of Southern Illinois in Edwardsville.  Inspired by a lecture given by a Forest Service Archaeologist describing the ancient sites found on exploratory trips into the wilderness areas of Utah, Branton’s first experience was working as an unpaid intern for the Ashley National Forest searching out and recording ancient sites.  After working for the Illinois Transportation Archaeology Project through the University of Illinois, and for private archaeology companies in Tucson, she then attended graduate school at the University of Arizona in Tucson where she earned her Master’s Degree and then a Doctorate in Anthropology.

    Branton’s first permanent posting as a U.S. Forest Service Archaeologist was on the Coronado National Forest in Southeastern Arizona, then serving for the next 12 years on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland as Forest Archaeologist.  She became the new Red Rock District Ranger earlier this year.

    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.
