    logo_cwag3Prescott AZ (September 25, 2018) – Why are freshwater ecosystems so important, how are they threatened and what can we do to protect them?

    Questions and answers about a new state-level legislative proposal to secure the viability of Arizona’s rivers, streams and springs will be addressed at a citizen-organized public hearing presented by the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) and partner organizations on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, 10 a.m. – noon at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation building, 882 Sunset Ave., Prescott.

    Ecological water, the water needed to sustain freshwater ecosystems, is a central focus of the proposed legislation, which recognizes ecological water as a beneficial use and creates a state program to study and manage waters that support and insure the health of freshwater bodies, their wildlife habitats and the livelihoods of the people who rely on them.

    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.
