    Verde Valley News – Several areas of the Coconino National Forest have been re-opened following the Pipeline Fire.

    The portion of the forest’s Flagstaff Ranger District that was closed following the Pipeline Fire has been reduced in scale. All areas located east of Highway 89, including the Cinders OHV area and the Sunset Crater National Monument, have re-opened to the public.

    The full updated closure order and map are available on the Coconino NF’s website.

    Though many portions of the forest are reopening, the public is urged to use caution while in the area. Post-fire hazards may include rolling rocks, falling trees and flood waters.

    Some portions of the Pipeline Fire burned area will remain closed for the foreseeable future for public safety. These areas — which include Lockett Meadow — will be reevaluated following the winter season to see which risks can be mitigated before public access will be allowed.

    The portions of Forest Road (FR) 789 and FR 6275 that mark the boundary of the restricted area are open to non-motorized use only.

    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.
