    Verde Historical SocietyCottonwood AZ (June 15, 2021) – It took a village of local Verde Valley volunteers to move the mountain of products gifted to the Verde Historical Society for its annual Antique, Attic, Basement and Garage Sale fundraiser held in the historic Clemenceau Public School Auditorium on June 11-12, to benefit the ongoing operation of the Clemenceau Heritage Museum. Tables were filled with ‘treasures’, kitchen utensils and equipment, arts and crafts supplies, holiday and Christmas items, sporting goods, lamps, pictures, technology equipment, glasses, plates, bowls, platters, books, toys, games, puzzles, jewelry and other items. Folks came from all over the Valley to support and enjoy the sale on the opening days of the local museum.  Thank you to all the donors.

    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.
