    Sedona AZ (November 17, 20814) – UPDATE – This morning a crew in YCSO’s Rescue 1 Helicopter located the body of David Polcyn in a narrow canyon area. At this time it appears he suffered injuries from a fall, but the exact cause of death will be determined at a later time. Crews are in the process of coordinating removal of the body.

    Sedona AZ (November 16, 2014) – At 7:30 PM yesterday, November 15, 2014, YCSO was contacted by the wife of 57-year-old David Polcyn, to report him missing. David was hiking a portion of Forest Road 618 south of the Beaver Creek Campground (beginning at FS 9201J) and was expected to arrive at the Bell Trailhead around 5PM. David had supplies with him including food, water and warm clothing. Attempts to reach/track his cell phone since the initial call to YCSO have been unsuccessful. The Polcyn’s are from Sedona. David does have prior hiking experience and no major health concerns.

    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.
