    Sedona News – The Dead would like to have some words with you. And so, begins a cemetery walk at Sedona’s oldest cemetery on April 21 and 22 at the Schuerman Red Rock Cemetery on the Upper Red Rock Loop Road.

    The Sedona Historical Society has announced that a limited number of ticket holders will meet a whole new set of Sedona’s earliest residents portrayed by re-enactors at this Cemetery Walk. “Voices from the Grave-Spring Spirits Rising” is an open-air cemetery tour with re-enactments by professional actors at this cemetery dating from 1893.

    Musical interludes will help guide tour groups from grave-to-grave to hear from these brave “souls” who experienced triumph and tragedy while carving out a life in remote Red Rock country in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

    The historic “spirits” expected to share their stories are Dr. Myron Carrier, the Verde Valley’s first civilian doctor who helped establish this cemetery; Clara Purtymun Thompson, descendant of two of Oak Creek Canyon’s first homesteader families; Hilda Thompson, a mail order bride; John Lay, homesteader of Crescent Moon Ranch; Nancy Owenby, homesteader and Sedona’s first real estate ‘flipper’; and Andrew Baldwin, builder of Red Rock Crossing.

    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.
