    Verde Historical SocietyCottonwood AZ (August 2, 2021) – Meet Nancy Kores who has volunteered for the Verde Historical Society at the Clemenceau Heritage Museum in Cottonwood for over two years.  “I love doing paperwork”, she commented.

    Kores had a busy and fulfilling career teaching all subjects under the category of Home Economics at the Coronado High School in Scottsdale, AZ., at Mingus Union High School in Cottonwood, AZ and at Yavapai College in Clarkdale, AZ.  Sewing and clothing are two of the specialties making her an avid quilter having hundreds of hand-made products in her personal collection as well as many items produced for folks around the valley.

    Occupying the beautifully restored UVX Mining Company’s Master Mechanics home with her husband, Kores lives and breathes local history.  The home is located in what was once referred to as “Smelter City”, the UVX Smelter parcel in the original Town of Clemenceau. The home is one of only two remaining homes on the property today and is an example of local historic architecture.

    When asked what she enjoys most about volunteering for the society and museum Kores stated, “I like the people!  I love to bake and I provide treats for the weekly workday break time where everyone working on their various projects come together to socialize at mid-morning.  There is lots of laughter and fun sharing experiences.”

    The Clemenceau Heritage Museum houses many exhibits of local history, including a working railroad diorama exhibit and a replicated original classroom in the historic Clemenceau Public School building where the museum is located at 1 North Willard Street -on the Mingus and Willard roundabout.  There are activities for children every Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday during regular open hours: T/W 9:00-12:00noon, F/S 11:00-3:00.  Volunteers are currently needed to lead programs for children and adults.  For information and a volunteer application, please call the museum office at 928-634-2868 or visit them at www.clemenceaumuseum.com and on Facebook.

    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.
