    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (April 12, 2017) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is proud to announce the release of their latest book on local history entitled “History, Hilarity and Heartbreak” by Loretta Benore.

    Easy reading, this book covers mostly Sedona area history, but does stray to regional and  Arizona history stories, like the cavalry camels, some Arizona ‘bad girls’ and the Navajo Ordnance Depot during WWII, to name just a few.  If you are looking for some colorful characters you’ll find them in stories about local cowboys, eccentrics and trailblazers. Benore also caringly shares about the people behind accomplishments and contributions that made our community what it is today.

    20170412_L-Benore-bk-coverThe book is a compilation, update, and rewrite of 10 years of research and writing for the “Villager,” a local monthly newspaper.  “I was pushed and then gently supported by volunteers at the Museum to put this book together”, says the author.  Benore goes on to say “Although the title mentions heartbreak the book is basically a more lighthearted, gossipy approach to real history in Arizona, some of it being pretty strange. The stories are tales that folks will get a kick out of reading.”

    Sedona Gift Shop

    The book is now available in the Museum Gift Shop.

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is in Jordan Historical Park at 735 Jordan Rd in Uptown Sedona, AZ.  Hours are 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., daily.  For more information, call 928-282-7038.  www.sedonamuseum.org.

    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→
