The presentation will be at the Verde Valley Campus of Yavapai College, Building M, Room 137, 601 Black Hills Drive in Clarkdale.

    Mayor Joens will discuss how Cottonwood is achieving its water-resource use goals. She will review a number of recent and planned City projects including the purchase of some private water companies (to upgrade service, provide water security, and conserve water), the construction of a comprehensive reclaimed water system, plans to recharge the aquifer through reclaimed water injection, and reclaimed water use expansion. Mayor Joens will also discuss the recent sustainability and water conservation awards the City has received.

Mayor Joens was a co-founder of Stewards of Public Lands, a volunteer organization that cleans up illegally dumped trash from National Forests, State Trust Lands, and the Verde River Greenway. She has been involved in numerous other community projects, including editing and publishing the Verde River Almanac, a community project comprised of submissions by community members including authors, artists, photographers, non-profits and governmental organizations.

    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.

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.
