    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (October 4, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum’s publishing arm, Sedona Heritage Publishing, is proud to announce the release of their latest book, “Through the Camera Lens of a One Room School Teacher”. The small book is a collection of photos and annotations by Ruth Woolf (Jordan), created in 1922-23 while she was in her first teaching position at the Beaver Creek School near Sedona.

    With her little box camera, she captured wonderful images, but best of all, she wrote thoughtful and descriptive commentary on the back of each photo, providing insights into the place, people and time.

    20161004_ruth-jordan-schoolteacher-book-cover-onlyPhotos range from Soda Springs Ranch, where she boarded; to intimate shots while she cut hair for students; and general photos of the school. Especially insightful are her photos and remarks of students playing, on school field trips and performing in school pageants.

    While at Beaver Creek she met a Sedona orchardist, Walter Jordan, and married. Their home is now the site of the Sedona Heritage Museum.  A life-long teacher, there is a chapter on her later work as a teacher at both the Sedona School and Red Rock School, also illustrated with photos.

    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.
