The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Gardener” showing April 17-23 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

After the loss of her husband and father, Sabena Weathers (Radha Mitchell) fights to preserve her family’s cosmetics empire while facing a hostile takeover. Seeking refuge, she retreats to a remote mountaintop garden cottage, where a chance encounter with a simple gardener (William Miller) sparks a powerful journey of love, self-discovery and transformation.

Rooted in quiet mystery and emotional truth, “The Gardener,” explores loss, healing and the courage to realize one’s true self. It all begins in the garden; magically, metaphorically and serendipitously.

“The Gardener” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres April 17-23. Showtimes will be Friday, Sunday and Wednesday, April 17, 19 and 22 at 7:00 p.m.; Saturday, Monday and Thursday, April 18, 20 and 23 at 4:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 21 at 3:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

When crisis strikes in Yavapai County—often without warning—the Arizona Crisis Team is there. Now, this vital nonprofit is calling on compassionate community members to step forward as a new round of volunteer training begins April 11.

The Arizona Crisis Team (ACT) provides free, around-the-clock emotional, practical, and resource support to individuals and families facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ACT volunteers respond at the request of emergency agencies to scenes involving deaths, attempted suicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence, fires, serious accidents, medical emergencies, and other traumatic events.

While police officers and firefighters focus on public safety, medical care, and fire suppression, ACT volunteers focus on people—offering calm, compassionate support when it is needed most. Their presence allows families and individuals in crisis to begin regaining a sense of control after tragedy, with services delivered respectfully and with sensitivity to cultural and individual differences.

Local first responders say the impact of ACT’s work cannot be overstated. Volunteers themselves describe the work as challenging—but deeply meaningful. Many say it is a privilege to help people navigate both the emotional shock and practical realities of what may be the worst day of their lives.

ACT volunteers commit to three 12-hour shifts per month, scheduled at their convenience, serving either the Greater Prescott (west) or Sedona–Verde Valley (east) chapters. Although volunteers are expected to respond within five minutes of a call, they are free to continue normal activities while on standby. Emergency personnel remain on scene, and ACT dispatchers provide additional support by phone. Ongoing encouragement and training are also offered through monthly meetings and shared experiences with fellow volunteers.

Training takes place over three weekend days in Prescott Valley and prepares volunteers to respond effectively to a wide range of emotional and logistical needs in the community. Those interested in making a real difference can learn more and apply by visiting azcrisisteam.org. For the right person, this is more than volunteering—it’s a chance to be a steady presence when it matters most.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.
