    Sedona AZ (November 10, 2011) – “Sedona Water Resources Through Time” will be the topic at Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc.’s monthly Preserving the Wonder™ Speaker Series on Wednesday, November 16. The doors will open at 5:30 with appetizers provided by El Rincon Del Tlaquepaque and Page Springs wine donated by Norris and Carolyn Peterson. Wayne Ranney will begin his presentation at 5:45 pm.

    The city of Sedona is beautifully situated in the north-central part of Arizona and its geologic heritage draws millions of visitors to its environs each year. Yet its location in this semi-arid part of the state also means that its beauty comes with a price – an uncertain supply of water. The rocks that hold our precious water resources have been under construction for hundreds of millions of years and their specific history determines where and how much water we have. Join geologist Wayne Ranney as he relates Sedona’s water resources history through time. You will learn about Oak Creek and its springs, the vast pools of water beneath West Sedona and the plumbing of Montezuma Well.

    Wayne Ranney is an award-winning author, lecturer and geologist who inspires residents and visitors to the Colorado Plateau with his words and field skills. He is a former backcountry ranger and river guide in Grand Canyon National Park and attained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in geology from Northern Arizona University.

    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.
