    Interviews with Community Leaders Available on OLLI’s YouTube Channel

    Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)Sedona AZ (May 7, 2020) – Sedona residents obeying stay-at-home policies may wonder what’s going on around the community–at places like City Hall, the hospital, the school district, the foodbank, philanthropic organizations, local businesses, Yavapai College, caregivers to homebound elders, the newspaper, and the police department.

    That curiosity now can be satisfied via a series of Zoom conversations recorded by Paul Friedman and Linda Shook of OLLI (the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute).  They asked a dozen local leaders how their organizations are helping Sedona residents cope with the consequences of this pandemic.

    On their YouTube channel–OLLI at Sedona•Verde Valley–interviews can be accessed with individuals, such as Mayor Sandy Moriarty, City Manager Justin Clifton, VVMC Medical Director Ron Haase, Head of Nursing Lori Green, Chamber CEO Jennifer Wesselhoff, Police Chief Charles Husted, Red Rock News Genl. Mgr. Kyle Larson, School Supt. Dennis Deardon, Foodbank Director Cathleen Healy-Baiza, VV Caregivers Director Kent Ellsworth, and Yavapai College Deans Tina Redd and Linda Shook.

    Each is filmed busily at work (often at their home offices) adapting the services of their organization to the exigencies of this extraordinary period.  Viewers of these programs get an “inside” or “backstage” view of what these leaders are deciding and doing, how they handle their everyday responsibilities, how their services have been altered, what they are learning, and what they foresee in the future. 

    Links to these programs also are available on OLLI’s web site: https://www.yc.edu/v6/olli-sedona-verde and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/olli.sedona.verdevalley.  At these sites, too, Information is provided regarding  the New OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) Online programs which offer academic, not-for-credit programs for adults 50 years old or older all online.

    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.
