    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (April 21, 2015) – Uptown Sedona and the Sedona Fire District (SFD) team up to save lives as a “Heart Safe Community”. To improve the location and accessibility of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s), Sedona Fire District recently relocated the AED’s currently in Uptown Sedona. The AED’s that were located in red boxes are now inside local businesses in Uptown Sedona. In place of the red boxes, you will now find signs that tell you where the AED is located.   The AED’s are now located in the Oaxaca Restaurant, Felsot Building, Cowboy Club Restaurant, Pink Jeep Tours, and Canyon Breeze.

    20150421_Uptown-AED-signHeart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Sudden Cardiac Arrest kills approximately 300,000 people in the United States every year. Historically the survival from cardiac arrest was less than 5%.  Knowing CPR and having access to a defibrillator (AED) make a tremendous difference in survival for cardiac arrest victims. A recent study at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport showed a 77% survival from cardiac arrest with CPR and use of an AED.

    In 2014 Arizona Department of Health Services recognized Sedona as a “Heart Safe Community”. This recognition was given because of public access to AED’s in the community and CPR training.  In 2005 Sedona Fire District installed AED’s on various light poles in uptown Sedona. These AED’s were in red boxes and readily available if needed.

      How many times have these ever been used? I don’t spend a great deal of time in traders alley but I have never seen anyone using 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.
