LETTER FROM HOME
Arriving at your destination On becoming a walking poet
I
’ve been struggling the past few months with a feeling that I’ve come to describe as post-Brooklyn let down. I miss everything about the neighborhood I lived in earlier this summer: The school children down the block, the local book store around the corner (with a fat cat named Tiny) and the roses that grew in small gardens in front of many of the brownstone buildings. My friend, Aly, listens to me wax on about my daily neighborhood walks and determines that what I miss the most about Brooklyn is the amount of walking I was doing. She suggests I get re-acquainted with my own Stacy neighborhood by taking up Murison walking again. It seems like an easy enough thing to do, this walking business. I have watched plenty of my neighbors walk while I sit inside drinking coffee and looking out the front windows. Some even run or push strollers or walk their dogs. But I’m not particularly outdoorsy, which seems antithetical to living in a mountain town with more than 50 miles of trails and surrounded by forests. The problem here is that I don’t know where to go. It’s one thing to walk with the intention of going somewhere. Whenever I left the Brooklyn apartment, I was heading for coffee or a bagel or soap or to catch a train into Manhattan. My grandmother and I used to go for walks, but it also was with a destination in mind—the bakery, the mail box or her brother’s house. When I step out onto the sidewalk here in Flagstaff, I don’t know where to go, but I start with a basic decision: I go right. My first set of walks are short, usually a few minutes around the “block,” which is not shaped like a square in any sense, but rather a series of circular attempts by the neighborhood designers perhaps to leave parts of the forest intact. After a few days, my walks get longer, so much so that last week I found myself in a part of the neighborhood I didn’t recognize. A mild sense of panic enveloped me—I was without a phone or GPS and didn’t remember the way I came in order to reverse the walk. A street’s name seemed familiar so I followed it and it eventually led to my street. The next day I reversed the walk, discovering that I had been only one block away from my house. 4 | flaglive.com | Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2019
The yellow house with impatiens on my morning walk. Photo by the author How can something familiar also be unrecognizable? Driving through my neighborhood, streets at a distance from front yards, is a different experience from walking crooked and crumbling concrete sidewalks. While walking I don’t focus on the curve of the street or the house numbers as I do with driving, but rather on all of the gardens in our neighborhood. If I recognize a street by its roses and irises, I will certainly be lost when the flowers die. I’ve started marking parts of the neighborhood by lawn ornaments now: Antlers, carved wooden bears, squirrel statues and American flags. Even so, I am regularly surprised when I encounter that one carved bear that holds a sign reading, “Bear hugs, 5 Cents.” I have to walk early in the morning, before work. Also before the coffee has finished brewing and often before I’m fully awake. The movement wakes me up, along with the occasional wave or greeting from a neighbor. People are friendly first thing in the morning, which cheers me as well. Sometimes I want to cross the street and ask one neighbor how she has kept her impatiens alive for
so long; another, why he cut down the trees in his yard only to replace them with boulders. My mind takes in the yards and flowers and lawn ornaments, noticing how the shadows of trees move across lawns or how automatic sprinkler systems water more sidewalk than grass. When I get home, I take a survey of our own front yard, noticing how the crab apple tree blocks most of the front window and that the forest grass is already dying back with the heat and drought of this summer. Inside, I pour myself a cup of coffee and begin writing about that morning’s walk and all of the things I noticed along the way. This is not the kind of writing I imagined doing at this stage in my life, I tell my friend, James, himself a poet. Shouldn’t there be books and something else from all this writing by now? He listens thoughtfully, and I can almost see the beginning of a smile on his face. I’m no Annie Dillard or Henry David Thoreau, I continue, writing about beavers and ponds and woods. James listens patiently and nods before breaking out into a huge grin. He welcomes me to the club of “walking poets”—people who need to
be outside and who share what they notice through their writing. Somehow, I feel better that he puts a name to what I’m doing, even though I’ve never thought of myself as either a walker or a poet. I owe that man a cup of coffee. Or a wee dram of whisky. Or both. As I write this letter, I’ve come to understand that I have been walking with a destination in mind after all, although it took me a while to recognize it. The destination is the yellow house with impatiens, the carved wooden bear, the grasses and squirrel statues, and our own crab apple tree. I’ll recognize these from now on as the talismans of home. Unbeknownst to me, I have arrived at my destination. Stacy Murison’s work has appeared in Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies (where she is a Contributing Editor), Brevity’s Nonfiction Blog, Hobart, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, River Teeth and The Rumpus among others. She holds an MA from Georgetown University and MFA in Creative Writing from Northern Arizona University where she now teaches composition.

Bill Callahan will perform at Flagstaff’s Coconino Center for the Arts on Monday, Sept. 2. Courtesy photo
GRAND AND GOLDEN
A
t a concert on a farm in Pine Plains, New York, in 2016, Bill Callahan gave a verbal nod to Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash—The Highwaymen—as he plucked the nylon strings of his guitar between songs. He mentioned the PBS special that followed the country supergroup then jumped into “One Fine “Morning,” a song of his that’s almost 10 years old now. The thrum of his deep voice has elements of Cash’s—smooth, straightforward, nothing fancy but all the more haunting for it—his writing evokes that of Nelson and Jennings, sometimes cheeky, sometimes deeply intimate, somber and contemplative. Callahan has made waves for years, first under the moniker Smog, with 13 albums between 1990 and 2005. After 2005’s A River Ain’t Too Much to Love he switched to his given name, with major albums to follow. 2011’s Apocalypse and 2013’s Dream River, as well as earlier work, Dongs of Sevotion let go of Smog in name, but continued to take a hard look at the United States: its natural beauty, bison, dogma, war. Callahan’s is not a music that blows things out of proportion. It’s simple, and not in the negative sense, simple as in distilled, boiled down, lo-fi with strong country influences that tell stories and ponders farmland and the road. Callahan is currently touring in support of his most recent album Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest, released June of this year. It’s the kind of record that asks its listener to immerse themself in it fully, hear it two, three times in a row while looking out the window as the cornfields, pine trees and highways of America rush by. Bill Callahan will perform at The Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N. Fort Valley Road, on Monday, Sept. 2. The show begins at 8 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.flagartscouncil.org
» THURSDAY | 8.29 DON’T BE A TOOL However you feel about progressive-rock daddies Tool, you have to admit they’ve reached peak cult fandom. Think about it: The band releases an album about as frequently as the planets align and yet they’ve managed to maintain millions of fans the world over, many of which wear T-shirts featuring phallic hardware with the word “tool” on it. It’s genius. Their only four albums have sold more than 13 million copies, and their most recent effort, 10,000 Days, left fans drooling for more. About 13 years later, we’re getting our wish. Singer Maynard James Keenan confirmed the band’s new album would be titled Fear Inoculom and would be released Aug. 30. To celebrate, Flagstaff’s Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz St., in partnership with 103.7 The Eagle, is hosting a free Fear Inoculom official listening party at 4 p.m.—tonight! So what are you doing? Stop reading this and go (but pick up where you left off later).

Pilcrow will perform at Firecreek Coffee Co. Saturday, Aug. 31. Photo by Daniel Snyder/ DanPhoto
» SATURDAY | 8.31 A NEW STORY A pilcrow (¶) signifies the separation of paragraphs. The end of one thought and the start of a new story. And of course, the guy who used to edit this paper and now works with words at KNAU, Ryan Heinsius, would find inspiration in such a nerdy symbol. With his band Pilcrow, Heinsius says his songwriting finds inspiration in history, storytelling and social commentary. “[Storytelling] communicates deeper truths. It’s about how we deal with adversity or heartbreak or joy. There’s a deeper truth communicated in the best stories. I’m not saying that I’ve achieved that,” he says with a laugh, “but that’s kind of the goal.” Not only does his Oklahoma upbringing make its way into the bluesy folk styling of Pilcrow, it also finds its way into the timbre of Heinsius’ singing. The twang in his voice is something drummer Andrew Lauher playfully calls him out on. Recently the band recruited Jeff Lusby-Breault of ENORMO|DOME fame. This Saturday, catch a special set by Pilcrow at Firecreek Coffee Co., 22 E. Route 66, with ENORMO|DOME and Sunny & the Sweet B’s, which includes Brian White and some members of Viola and the Brakemen playing some more country-twang originals. Show is $8 and begins at 8 p.m. www. pilcrowband.com
» FRI.-MON. | 8.30-9.02 NOT LABORIOUS Labor Day weekend is always a big deal in Flagstaff. Crowds from Phoenix flock north to escape the brutal heat and families drive in from across the state for the Coconino County Fair. The fair is maybe the major event of the year, complete with funnel cakes, turkey legs, vats of lemonade, petting zoos and, of course, dizzying and gravity-defying rides. We here at Flag Live! have a love/hate relationship with The Zipper, for example. We adore it, it’s fun, it spins you upside down. But we also hate it. It’s scary. We might throw up. We can’t make up our minds. For people who are easily nauseated, maybe stick to the Ferris wheel or the fun houses. Of course there’s much more to the fair than just its rides. Take the competition for the largest zucchini, the best tomatoes or the cutest bunnies or the music and dance acts—including Nitty Gritty Dirt Band this year. There’s something for everyone, truly. And, for those who don’t want to brave the crowds or would prefer to go to the fair at night when all the teenagers show up, use the daylight hours to visit Art in the Park, which features 100 vendors selling their work. The juried art fair is held at Wheeler Park, which fills to the brim with pottery, jewelry, watercolor, woodwork, you name it. Art in the Park runs Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The Coconino County Fair is Aug 30-Sept. 2. For more, visit www.coconinocountyfair.com/ Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2019 | flaglive.com | 7

Fowl! An upscale neighborhood near the Ibis Golf and Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, is all a-flutter over some unwelcome guests: dozens of black vultures. The Palm Beach Post reports that a New York family can no longer visit the $700,000 vacation home they bought earlier this year because the birds have defecated and vomited all around it, leaving a smell “like a thousand rotting corpses,” claimed homeowner Siobhan Casimano. Homeowner Cheryl Katz put out fake owls with moving heads and blinking red lights for eyes to scare off the birds, but she said the vultures “ripped the heads off.” Katz had to summon police when the vultures became trapped in her pool enclosure and attacked each other: “Blood was everywhere,” she told the Post. Katz and other homeowners blame the invasion on a neighbor who feeds wildlife, supplying bags of dog food, roasted chicken and trays of sandwiches for their enjoyment. Neighborhood association president Gordon Holness told the Post the neighbor has been issued a warning, but the migratory birds are protected by federal law.
Spoiled A young man identified only as Akash, in Yamunanagar, Haryana state in northern India, received a brand-new BMW from his parents for his birthday, reported Fox News on Aug. 12. But Akash, who had nagged his parents for a Jaguar instead, told police the BMW was “a little small for him and his friends inside.” So he pushed the new vehicle into a river, where it sank into deep water and had to be pulled out with a crane. “The youth was arrogant and kept insisting that he be given a Jaguar,” police said. “We could only afford to give him a BMW,” said his father. “We never imagined he would do anything like this.”

Maybe his conscience got the better of him. On Aug. 13, according to WTAE, a man in a wheelchair approached a teller at a First National Bank on Pittsburgh’s South Side. The man, thought to be in his 60s, handed the teller a note demanding cash, but then “suddenly abandoned his robbery attempt and exited the bank,” a police statement read. Police and FBI agents were on the lookout for the reluctant robber, but there were no photographs or video of him to aid them.
Strange Obsession THE MONEY $HOT by MacKenzie Chase
Washington State Highway Patrol Sgt. Kyle Smith stopped along Highway 518 near Seattle on Aug. 13 to see if a car parked on the shoulder needed assistance. Instead, according to the Associated Press, he observed the driver inside with eight mobile phones, neatly arranged in a blue foam square, all playing Pokemon Go. Smith did not issue a ticket to the driver, but he did warn him to put the phones away and move along, as the shoulder is meant only for emergency stops.

Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel brought the town of Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador, continent-wide attention in mid-August when he gifted the community a Hollywood-style sign installed on a hill above the town. Soon, Canadian adult toy company Our Pleasure posted a video to Facebook featuring some of its products in front of the sign and at other locations around the town, reported The Telegram, inciting anger among some residents. “They went too far with this,” said Andrew Pretty, a member of the town’s local service district committee. “They had one picture right next to the playground ... it’s not right.” Our Pleasure owner Cathy Daniels described the video as “more of a fun video,” but townspeople don’t see the humor. They are circulating a petition asking Our Pleasure not to use photos of Dildo for its advertising and social media campaigns.

The Devil Made Him Do It Jeremiah Ehindero, 41, pastor of Jesus Miracle Church in Sango-Ota, Nigeria, blamed the devil for his trouble with the law after stealing an SUV from a local Toyota dealership. Ehindero negotiated a price for the Highlander, which he said would be used for “evangelism,” then asked for a test drive — and never came back, the Daily Post reported on Aug. 19. He later sold the vehicle to a spare parts dealer for about $1,650. According to police, Ehindero confessed he stole the car to repay a loan from a microfinance bank in Lagos after tithes and offerings from his congregation were insufficient. “When the pressure from the microfinance bank became unbearable for me, the devil told me to steal a vehicle from the car dealer to sell and use the proceeds to repay the loan. I regret my action.” Ehindero and his accomplices were arrested in Ondo State.
Creme de la Weird In Stockholm, Sweden, an unnamed man attending a traditional crayfish party on Aug. 20 at the Skansen Aquarium was delivering a speech while standing on a rock in a restricted area. As he spoke, he rested his arm on a glass barrier — until the crocodile who lives in the tank “jumped up and grabbed his lower arm,” Jonas Wahlstrom, owner of the aquarium, told CNN. But that isn’t the weird part of the story. The dastardly crocodile in this story was formerly owned by ... Fidel Castro. The croc was one of two given to a Russian cosmonaut in 1970, who took the animals to Moscow. Wahlstrom eventually brought them to Stockholm. The croc “lost its grip after 10 seconds,” Wahlstrom said, leaving the victim with injuries to his lower arm and hand.
Bright Idea Dave Schmida, 21, of Sturbridge, Massachusetts, set out on Aug. 12, determined to get rid of a hornet’s nest three stories high under a corner of his family’s roof. He first tried spraying the nest with Raid, but when that didn’t work, he got creative. As his brother Matthew recorded video of the extermination, Dave lit up a Roman candle and pointed the fiery balls at the nest, reported the Worcester Telegram. The first two or three missed their mark, but when his ammunition connected with the nest, it burst into flames, killing the wasps but setting the eaves on fire as well. Schmida rushed up to a nearby window and used a fire extinguisher to put the flames out. “I would say mission accomplished,” he said, even though there is now a small hole in the house.
Crime Report An attempted burglary in Oronoco Township, Minnesota, unfolded in an unusual manner on Aug. 15. Police responded to a burglary in progress call to find that alledged thief Kirsten Hart, 29, had scuffled with a 64-year-old woman before making off with pill bottles, debit and credit cards, $150 cash and a fake $1 million bill. Hart had run out of the house with part of her shirt ripped off, which led a passing motorist to ask if she was hurt and needed a ride. Hart accepted, climbing into the trunk of the car, according to KIMT. The driver later told police he realized something wasn’t right but panicked and drove off. Police also said they found iPads stolen from a local STEM school in Hart’s car. She and an accomplice face multiple charges.
Snowflakes Falling Everywhere Ex-cons, juvenile delinquents and drug addicts are getting new monikers in San Francisco, thanks to the Board of Supervisors’ new “person-first” language guidelines. For example, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, someone just released from prison will be a “justice-involved person”; a repeat offender will be a “returning resident.” People on probation will be “persons under supervision.” The under-18 criminal crowd will be known as “young people impacted by the juvenile justice system.” Those suffering from addiction will be “people with a history of substance use.” Words such as “convict” and “inmate” “only serve to obstruct and separate people from society and make the institutionalization of racism and supremacy appear normal,” the board’s resolution reads. “Referring to them as felons is like a scarlet letter,” Matt Haney, board supervisor, said.

As you sleep I destroy the world Gabriel Granillo eason two of Mindhunter begins just a few days after the events of season one: Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) has been hospitalized after suffering a panic attack when Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton), a man convicted of murdering 10 people, including his mother, hugs Ford in a show a friendship. The Social Behavioral Unit at the FBI’s Quantico headquarters has been gaining momentum and has been taken over by a new eager director, Ted Gunn (Michael Cerveris). As what we now know as the Atlanta child murders begin to sweep Georgia in fear, the SBU team, Ford, Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) and Gregg Smith (Joe Tuttle), who have been interviewing and studying serial killers, have an opportunity to bring their research beyond the theoretical and into the real world. Much of what made Mindhunter stand out from other crime shows was its focus on the psychology of deviance. And while

the interviews play a role in season two, giving us one of the season’s most powerful exchanges when Ford and Tench interview Charles Manson, the focus during the latter half of the season is on stakeouts and chasing suspects, politics and police work, as they attempt to capture the Atlanta killer. Some of the most impactful moments are when the show exMindhunter plores Tench and Carr, whose home lives are Created by Joe consumed by their Penhall work. After his adopted son and a group of Rated TV-MA friends are entangled in NETFLIX a crime, Tench’s faith in the validity of their psychological examinations of serial killers wanes. When he interviews Manson, and as he puts together a standup cross for a march, Tench’s life seems hopelessly parallel to the morbidity of his work. Are killers made, or are they born? Is he making his son like this? Mindhunter moves away from the mind to the larger, socio-political world—nature vs. nurture, racial tension in 1980s Georgia, how serial killers use the media to control their narrative. It feels like a convergence of very heady ideas, none of which are truly

broomstick, Ford, with all his fancy methods, is asked, “What does a broomstick in the ass of a dirt-poor single mom mean?” At the end of season two, we’re left again with Ford, still wiping blood from his sleeve, still without an answer.

Val’s Workshop Cutting hair and fostering connections Gabriel Granillo lberto “Val” Valenzuela likes to explain what he’s doing to your hair before he takes a blade or a razor to it. After 35 years in the barber business, you learn a thing or two about what eases a person’s vulnerability. It’s an intimate thing, having someone—a stranger—comb through your hair, get a good look at the top of your scalp and at what’s behind your ears, and potentially reshape your entire outer image. Val’s aware of the power dynamics at play. It’s a responsibility he accepts. “You get a lot of guys and women in here that are very self-conscious about certain things, so we talk about it,” Val says. He points to the glass door letting in the evening sun. “The door is always open so the glass makes it feel like it’s not weird. I always try to give my customers advice. You know, little things that have made this place kind of what it is today.” Val’s Workshop, which opened in 2017, speaks to that sense of intimacy. He only allows one person in the room at a time, unless accompanied by a family member or significant other. In that room is a sleek black stereo gently filling the space with chillwave and hip-hop beats, a Maestro acoustic guitar perched on a wall, stacks of Vogue, GQ and more, a rinsing station, two huge rectangular mirrors with bright yellow bulbs around the sides, and at the center: a Koken black leather and silver barber chair sitting atop dark hardwood floor. “Some people collect old cars. Others collect old barber’s chairs,” Val says. “It’s important. The chair plays a huge role.” Val’s Workshop, once the laundry room to the house adjacent to the shop, is elegant and intimate, yet understated, tucked away beyond the traffic of San Francisco Street. Just south of The Mayor and within walking distance of Northern Arizona University, Val says “it was completely the intention” to place the shop on a path walked by students and locals. At 55, Val says he’s a kid at heart, and likes listening to and learning about the lives of young people

Val’s Workshop opened in 2017, with a focus on an authentic and intimate hair-cutting experience. Photos by Alberto Valenzuela these God-given gifts, and I just felt like I really liked what I was doing. That’s when I knew that this could be it,” Val says. “You know what I really like? I could be who I wanted to be. I was kind of a punk-rocker at the time. I don’t have to dress up for work. I could be who I want to be.” Flagstaff called to him through the pages of a magazine featuring the 50 best places to live in America. Val took a three-day trip out to Flag and “it was almost like God’s hand just going, ‘You’re going to stay here.’” Val rented a room with a few college students his first few months here, but now he and his wife are full-fledged residents, looking to expand the workshop into something larger, something closer to campus. His eyes are set on a location even closer to campus. His goal for the new shop, which will The San Francisco Street location sees a steady stream of students and locals alike. open next year, is to have cheap coffee and Though most of his clientele are students, Val says he’s seeing more and more locals. cheap haircuts ($15 for men, $20 for women), more stations and more workers. As Val sifts through potential barbers, he’s telling them happened that right next to it was a beauty who visit his shop. all the same thing, a philosophy he’s taken school. In its two short years, the shop has seen with him all his life. “I just thought, ‘I can’t go home without more diverse costumers, and Val says, “Flag“Don’t try to make friends. Just be yourself. staff has been nothing but good to me since I something.’ So I walked in and figured, I love doing my own hair. Let me see what happens Don’t make it fake. Just have a good time with got here.” when I do this. They signed me right up. That what you’re doing,” he says. Prior to life in Flagstaff, Val spent his time Val’s Workshop is located at 413 S.

COLLEGE CHRONICLES
The time has come
F
riends, it’s finally here. Students are back, parents are last-minute shopping and businesses are booming. Everywhere you look there are giggles, smiles and anxious faces. For some locals this is a terrible week, but for freshmen and new students this is one of the most exciting weeks of their life. During my freshman year I remember the overwhelming feeling I had when looking at how large campus was. I also rememBailey ber how quickly I got used Helton to that feeling. But if there’s anything I want you to get out of this column this week it’s all the resources, tips and tricks that I have learned over the years. Don’t buy your books until after your first day of class. More times than not the website lists a series of books you need for a class, but your teachers end up changing their mind. There are places other than Starbucks by the union for your coffee fix. If in a time crunch or if you simply don’t want to wait 30 minutes in line at Starbucks on north campus, consider these locations: Cline Library, Einstein Bros Bagels, the Health and Learning Center, the Euguene M. Hughes Hotel and Restaurant Management building or the Hotspot. Take a FIT course. The tale of the “Freshman 15” is not fake. It is very real. The benefit of a FIT course is that there is a large variety to choose from and it forces you to work on you. There’s literally no excuse. Check out your advising report. The easiest way to access this is to start at www.
my.nau.edu. From there, click “Advising” and then “Advisement Report.” This page allows you to see what you need to complete to graduate. It’s basically a course to-do list. If you’re traveling from north to south campus, skip the bus and take the walk. The walk to south campus is really scenic and quite beautiful. Doing this will allow you to absorb the world around you and distance yourself, even if it’s just for 15 minutes, from the hectic life you are now living. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep and drink water. I know—how parent-like of me. But seriously. The headaches that come from sleep deprivation and dehydration are no joke. My final tip for you is to invest in a system that helps you stay organized. Whether it is a planner, a college-ruled notebook or your Google calendar, find a system that works for you. These next few years are going to be fun and it’s going to be incredibly easy to feel like you’re in a bubble or a routine of school, work and sleep. Try to break that. Walk outside the campus perimeters and experience what Flagstaff has to offer. Downtown is roughly a seven-minute walk north of campus. Go try some new restaurants and coffee shops, become a regular somewhere, meet new people or buy something that says “Flagstaff” on it. This is your new home. Embrace, respect and learn all about it.

studen It’s
difficult not to shower a bundle of new students with a bundle of clichés: So begins the first day of the rest of your life, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, etc. etc. It’s easier to slap on a ready-made saying than it is to tell the thousands of incoming freshman and returning upperclassmen that to truly immerse oneself in an experience, a place, is to look beyond platitudes. This is where Flag Live! steps in, as a gentle, unobtrusive—we hope—guide to get you moving beyond the confines of campus and into the place we call home. Dip your toes in, take it one step at a time. Look back at the history of Flagstaff and NAU, formerly known as Northern Arizona Normal School, and you’ll come to realize that the town is far from normal—its surroundings, nature, art, music, people, dogs, activists, monsoon seasons and festivals are each unique and captivating, and it’s these that continue to make it special. At 7,000 feet, we first and foremost recommend that you drink plenty of water. Next comes an acknowledgement that Flagstaff is the traditional land of indigenous tribes: Navajo, Hopi and Apache. Finally, don’t be scared to ask questions, visit a show even if you’re intimidated by the crowd, take a hike, look at the stars because they’re extra bright here and pick up the occasional copy of Flag Live! We promise it’ll help keep your finger on the pulse of things.
Concerts Black Flag (Sept. 9). More than five years since the punk band last toured, Black Flag is making its way across the country with stops in Arizona including Tempe, Bullhead City and Flagstaff. You’ve seen the bumper stickers. You’ve listened to the albums. Now it’s time to welcome Black Flag into our city with a rowdy show at the Green Room next month. This isn’t your father’s Black Flag from the ‘70s, though. While guitarist and songwriter Greg Ginn remains, the rest of the lineup is all new, consisting of vocalist Mike Vallely, bassist Tyler Smith and drummer Brandon Pertzborn. Tickets for the 21-and-up show are $22 in advance, $25 at the door. Phoenix-based punk and metal band The Linecutters is scheduled to open the show. Visit www.flagstaffgreenroom.com for more information. Donivan Berube (Sept. 14). One of the things you’ll discover about Flag is all its local talent hiding in plain sight. Enter Donivan Berube. For a while you could catch this long-haired aloner managing the music instrument section 22 | flaglive.com | Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2019
at Bookmans. But he’s moving away soon, and we still have love for this dog from hell. Formerly of Blessed Feathers, Berube’s music is emotionally driven, intricately woven indie rock, meshing together melancholic folk and experimental productions. His new album Endlessly Won’t Last for Long is set to release Sept. 20, and he’s kicking off a tour in support. As we mention later, Firecreek is a great spot for catching live music, and you’ll find Berube performing here with other local lovelies Cyam and Sean Golightly Sept. 14. The all-ages show is $6 and begins at 7:30 p.m. www.donivanberube.com Lord Huron (Sept. 19). Lord Huron has come far since its appearance on the indie folk scene in the 2010s, a place and time largely dominated by quiet corners and small audiences. Strange Trails (2015) brought the band out of semi-obscurity, the same way For Emma, Forever Ago did Bon Iver and The Suburbs did Arcade Fire. “The Night We Met,” featured on the album, was a testament to the prowess of the genre, raw and candid in its examination of love and loss. Lord Huron is a master of pulling at the heartstrings with a music for seekers and those who long perpetually. 2018’s Vide Noir follows in the
footsteps of Strange Trails but with more electronic sounds, fewer haunting echoes and pure guitar melodies; it’s the next step for a band that cannot help but evolve. Hear it for yourself when the band plays at Pepsi Amphitheater. For more information, visit www.pepsiamp.com. Grieves (Sept. 27). Although Seattle’s Benjamin Laub—known professionally as Grieves—grew up listening to punk, he gravitated toward hip-hop after he stumbled upon Atmosphere and learned how the genre could be used to convey vulnerability. He’s released four full-length albums on Rhymesayers Entertainment, the label formed in part by Atmosphere in 1995 to represent indie rap’s finest. This summer sees the release of his EP The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy, along with subsequent touring including a stop at Flagstaff’s Green Room. General admission tickets are $15 in advance, $17 at the door, with VIP entry starting at $55. The VIP package includes early entry, a meet-and-greet with Grieves, limited edition tour poster, a VIP tour laminate and lanyard, and more. The show is open to ages 16 and up. www. flagstaffgreenroom.com

uide Gregory Alan Isakov (Dec. 10). For those longtime followers of singer-songwriter and South Africa transplant Gregory Alan Isakov, the fact that he is coming to Flagstaff is monumental. Those folksy and somber tunes of his are near unbearable they’re so melodic, crisp and evocative. His pivotal album This Empty Northern Hemisphere turned 10 this year, but Isakov has not stopped creating in the years since. With three new albums in that time span, Isakov continuously references Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and some of the greatest songwriters past and present, all the while carving a spot for himself on that list. Catch him live later this year at the Orpheum Theater. For more, visit, www. orpheumflagstaff.com.
Festivals Colorado River Days (Sept. 5-12). One of the most revered and protected—yet direly threatened—resources on the planet flows through Arizona. The Colorado River is constantly under siege, and the Sierra Club Grand Chapter has fought for decades to protect this wonder, which is both sacred and invaluable to almost every life in the Southwest. Colorado River Days Flagstaff brings together 20 days of musicians, artists, river runners, authors, photographers and all those who share a connection to the waterway and surrounding lands.

Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival (Sept. 5); Arizona Women’s Film Festival (Oct. 3) Every year the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival rolls around, and movie and outdoor fanatics alike jump for joy. Consisting of shorts, feature films and documentaries, the festival spans time and place, centering on the environment, the outdoors and the adventures to be had in both. This year’s September showcase will be The Weight of Water, which follows a blind man as he heads down the Grand Canyon’s Colorado River in a kayak. For more, visit www.flagstaffmountainfilms. org. Then, mark your calendars, because the Arizona Women’s Film festival comes to town Thursday, Oct. 3. The event seeks to chronicle the female experience from various angles through the medium of visual storytelling. Find the event and details on Facebook. Big Pine Comedy Festival (Sept. 18-22). You’re funny. Funny looking. Get roasted at this year’s Big Pine Comedy Festival, a weekend-long festival dedicated to the Arizona arts and comedy community. Only five years old, the Big Pine Comedy Festival is already getting big laughs, big names and big opportunities for educational seminars and workshops.

General admission wristbands are available now for $70, VIP for $125. Don’t miss out on the laughs. Because life is one big joke. www.bigpinecomedyfestival.org Flagstaff Festival of Science (Sept. 2029). The event is always a special one in town, but this year’s Festival of Science falls into an extra special time: The 50th anniversary of
the Apollo 11 moon landing, which Flagstaff and the world have been celebrating for almost a year now. That’s why this year’s fest is themed “To the moon and beyond,” marking Flagstaff’s involvement in the historical event. Launching the festival—almost two weeks of lectures, presentations, hikes, tours and hands-on activities—will be the 10th and youngest person to ever walk on the moon, Module Pilot General Charlie Duke. Duke is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, at NAU’s Ardrey Auditorium. For more, visit www.scifest.org.

Okto’Beer’Fest (Sept. 21); Flagstaff Oktoberfest (Oct. 5). Sure, these festivals have beer right there in the name, but they also offer so much more. First up is Okto’Beer’Fest at Lumberyard Brewing Co. This annual festival donates 100 percent of its proceeds back to the community. Over the past eight years, the event has raised more than $80,000 for various local animal advocacy organizations—this year, High Country Humane will be the recipient. Of course, there is beer, and 10 Arizona breweries will be represented to sling their suds. Then the 11th annual Flagstaff Oktoberfest, held at Wheeler Park downtown, kicks off fall with beer and entertainment. Both events will also celebrate Oktoberfest culture through brat eating and stein holding contests, as well as games and live music. You don’t have to be 21 to join in on these activities. Visit www.lumberyardbrewingcompany.com and www.flagstaffoktoberfest.com for more information.
The Have-To’s Get Lit. The longer a person lives in Flagstaff, the more they learn what a literary haven it is. It’s teeming with readings, poetry slams and workshops. It’s also home to award-winning authors and New York Times contributors, so if you love to read, you’re in the right place. The Northern Arizona Book Festival takes place every year; this time around it’ll be held Sept. 9-15. Stop by for readings, panels and discussions on local literature and beyond. The Juniper House Readings feature poets and authors in front of an audience assembled at Uptown Pubhouse—only brand new material is allowed. The Narrow Chimney Readings pair student writers with professionals, then there are presentations at Bright Side Bookshop, parties at the best second-hand bookstores, the list goes on. So, as a careful reader does, explore the scene a little and get acquainted with all that is literary around you—perhaps, using these suggestions as a stepping stone. Get Rolling. It can be difficult to get off campus, not to mention owning a car is expensive and not always a given. Luckily, Flagstaff is perhaps the most bike-
24 | flaglive.com | Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2019
friendly town you’ll stumble upon…sorry Amsterdam! Between Craigslist, local bike shops and NAU surplus, you’re sure to find a cheap pair of wheels to get you across the city. Why not use those to transport you to other places that involve rolling? Skate parks for example. One is in Foxglenn, Bushmaster Park and adjacent to Coconino High School, just a few pits in which to ollie your day away. Local roller derby teams are yet another arena to get your zoom on. The league is called High Altitude Roller Derby. Send ‘em a message on Facebook. Don’t worry, they’re not as scary as they look. Finally, come winter, Jay Lively Ice Arena is the place be, gliding gracefully across the ice. Go Retro. Everybody loves a throwback, and in Flagstaff you can find yourself back in the 1980s singing songs like “99 Red Balloons” or “Seasons in the Sun” during karaoke nights at Rendezvous, The Market, Collins Irish Pub and other bars. Bowling is also one of those things that’ll launch you back to a time before iPhones, when people met face to face, no screens. For that, Starlite Lanes on Route 66 is the place to be; it’s a thriving relic complete with neon accented floors and a jukebox. A person can’t mention the good ole days without arcade games or air hockey, all of which you can find at Harkins Theatres or, for you foosball freaks, at Historic Brewing Company. Check out Cab Comics on Milton Road for a portable throwback to slide in your backpack and pull out between classes. Flagstaff is full of good old fashioned fun. Get Crafty. Craft breweries in town attract people like bees to honey. Not only are they around every corner, there’s something unique and delicious about every single one of them. Try the signature Kölsch-style German ale at Mother Road Brewery on its Mikes Pike patio or Butler Avenue taphouse, or the tried and true brews at Flagstaff Brewing Company, which has been around and following the same recipes for 25 years. Rickety Cricket, Lumberyard Brewing Co. and Grand Canyon Brewing and Distillery should also be added to the craft brew map, as should
Historic Brewing Company, whose Pie Hole Porter is a local favorite, and Dark Sky Brewery, whose prickly pear sour puckers many a lip and goes down easy, especially accompanied by a Pizzicletta pizza, which is made on location at both Dark Sky and Mother Road. Cheers! Get Cultured. Every first Friday of the month, businesses and art studios in historic downtown Flagstaff open their doors to the public, staying open late into the night for people to browse all the hidden gems inside. There’s something exciting to be found in every single space. Plus, each art walk is different. Our must-see art walk spots include The HeArt Box, Criollo Latin Kitchen and the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany gallery. There’s always music too, so keep your ears open as you wander the bustling streets on that first Friday of the month. The upcoming First Friday ArtWalk will be held on Friday, Sept. 6. And since we’re talking about the weekend, don’t forget to visit the Flagstaff Community Farmers Market for fresh and delicious goods every Sunday morning and the Flag Flea—full of vintage delights—every second Saturday, both in the City Hall parking lot, 211 W. Aspen Ave.

ple at Macy’s work hard. That’s because Macy’s has been one of Flag’s go-to coffee spots for decades, and for good reasons. It’s the only European-style coffee house in Flagstaff, it’s got vegetarian/vegan options and dogs. All the dogs—at least on its patios. Adorned with owner Tim Macy’s photography and always playing spicy tunes, Macy’s offers a quirky bustling atmosphere, perfect for people watching with a Café Mexicano and a vegan scone. Soups, sandwiches, small lunch options and snacks are also available. Firecreek Coffee Co. Not only is Firecreek a perfect place to grab some coffee and get to work on that capstone, it’s also a bastion for the arts in Flagstaff. Every month, the shop features paintings, drawings, mixed media and you name it by local and regional artists. It’s also a good spot to catch a show. From its weekly music performances to its monthly open mic nights and poetry slams, you’re bound to find something you like. We’re not condoning drinking before class, but it’s worth mentioning the venue also has a small bar, featuring beer on tap and a light selection of spirits. We meet a lot of people for interviews at Firecreek. Maybe say hi. Campus Coffee Bean. If you’re looking for something off campus but not too far, look no further than Campus Coffee Bean. Since 1996, Campus Coffee Bean has helped students refuel with a healthy dose of caffeine, American, Mexican and Mediterranean-inspired dishes and, of course, all that free Wi-Fi. Conveniently located on Milton Road near Five Guys and El Capitan in the Green Tree Mini Mall, Campus Coffee Bean offers salads, breakfast items such as omelets and pancakes, deli options and more. As for coffee, it features a variety of specialty espresso drinks and wide selection of tea.
Lux. It’s small and there is no sign, but Lux is already making a big name for itself in the Flagstaff coffee circle. Lux Central had been a Phoenix staple for some time, but on July 3, husband-wife owners Jeff Fischer and Katie Calahan brought their brand up the mountain. Lux North, located at 111 E. Aspen Ave., offers hot or cold espresso drinks of any kind, including lattes, macchiatos and mochas with chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut or caramel syrups, as well as a variety of pastries, which are made by hand starting at 3 a.m. With a lounge adjacent to the small ordering station, it’s Bookmans Entertainment Exchange. a neat, new place to stop between classes.

and red. Leaf peepers from all over come here to gaze upon these colorful changes beginning the end of September. One of the most popular hikes during this time is the Inner Basin Trail at Lockett Meadow. Be sure to arrive early if you want to walk through these golden aspen groves—entrance is limited and spots fill up quickly. A drive through Oak Creek Canyon as the oak and maple leaves begin to turn a vibrant red is also rewarding. No car? No worries. You can still see plenty of colors in town Lava River Cave. Less than a mile long, as well. the Lava River Cave, colloquially called the lava tubes, is a truly unique hike worth Urban Trails. An excellent way for checking out at least once.

aspen forest on the way up. A little over a mile in, Fatman’s Loop heads back down the other side of the mountain after a 561foot elevation gain. Beyond this split, the Elden Lookout Trail takes an abrupt turn with steeper inclines and less shade cover, due in part to remaining damage from the 1977 Radio Fire. The views from the summit at 2,312 feet above the city are worth it though, and people can climb up to the top of the fire lookout tower on certain days for even more breathtaking sights of Flagstaff and beyond. Humphreys Peak. One of the first features visitors notice in Flagstaff is the towering San Francisco Peaks. The extinct stratovolcano is thought to have vi-
olently exploded around a million years ago, blowing its top out the side similar to the destruction wrought by Mount St. Helens in 1980. The mountain now plays host to skiers and snowboarders during the winter season at Arizona Snowbowl and various trails attract hikers of all abilities during the summer and fall. Made up of four distinct peaks, Humphreys marks the highest point in all of Arizona at 12,633 feet. The trail to the top is not for beginners. Steep inclines, thin air and oft-present ice near the top challenge even the most experienced hikers. Pack plenty of water, snacks and windbreaker, and get started early—this trail is estimated to take five to eight hours to complete.

Good spread, good bread Dank Sammies feeds late-night crowds at the Green Room MacKenzie Chase he waning summer marks the start of a busy season for many businesses downtown as they prepare for the crowds of students exploring their new home. Among them, venues promote events to showcase what the city has to offer in entertainment, with the next month at the Green Room to see a loaded calendar full of karaoke nights, dance parties, art shows and concerts. Now, the venue also offers to satiate these event-goers. Operating out of a small kitchen in the alley on the north side of the venue, Libby Gewald officially launched Dank Sammies in January, an endeavor that has since grown a hungry following largely through social media. With such a wide array of events held at the Green Room attracting different customers, every day is different, and that includes what customers are looking to eat. Whether during a local punk showcase or just an evening out on the town, Gewald says she has regulars who have been helping her figure out what works and what doesn’t as she navigates her new life as a business owner. “It’s never something that I thought I would be doing, but it just so happens I’m really good at it,” she says with a laugh. “I love food and I know how to eat, therefore I know how to feed people. “I have people who come in here and get the same thing every time, and I have people who come here and will get a different thing from the menu to try them all,” Gewald says. “There’s this guy from the

American Legion that absolutely dies for my hummus.” Connecting to the community at large is an important part of Dank Sammies’ operations. Gewald uses fresh-baked bread from Village Baker for all her sandwiches, and hopes to build a partnership with Rising Hy to use its honey mustard. Future plans include expanding her service to offer catering, with places like the American Legion and Babbitt Ford already expressing interest. Although she grew up in Michigan, Gewald lived in Hawaii for 16 years where her dad owned a small general store. She worked at the deli, smoking meats and learning the ins and outs of the business, building the foundation for much of what she does to operate Dank Sammies. Her two older brothers have also worked as executive chefs in various restaurants over the years, passing on some of their knowledge to Gewald. As one of the newest downtown food establishments, Dank Sammies exists in a part of Flagstaff that constantly sees restaurants coming and going. “It’s not easy to run a business here,” Gewald admits. “It’s super high overhead, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without [Green Room owner] Brandon [Kinchen]. We’ve got a great deal worked out and it’s an excellent partnership.” She uses this opportunity to craft classic sandwiches with a twist, made with quality ingredients the way she would want to eat them. Of Gewald’s current menu offerings, which she says she switches up every two months or so, her favorite is the chicken bacon apple sandwich, made with the customer’s choice of cheese melted with rotisserie chicken, bacon, sliced green apple and onion. “It sounds so weird, but it’s so good,” she says. While an early version of the menu offered items such as a grilled cheese with fried pickles inside, the current Dank Sammies fare leans more toward fresh bar food. All hot sandwiches are “toasted to perfection” on a panini press and come with a side of chips and a pickle slice. Cold deli sandwiches are also offered as are munchies like pita chips or celery with garlic hummus made in-house, a buffalo chicken dip and munchables, inspired by childhood staple Lunchables. This grown-up version features slices of brie, salami and a variety of crackers. The Drunk French, a twist on a French dip, comes with au jus made with whatever local beer is on tap at the time. There’s more to satisfy your late-night munchies than carnivorous options, though. Vegetarian items include a grilled cheese made with Muenster and cheddar, and the hot veggie
sandwich is made with a choice of cheese, artichoke hearts, sautéed mushrooms, tomato and onion. A cold version features avocado in lieu of artichoke hearts and mushrooms. A variety of house-made aiolis contribute to the first half of Dank Sammies’ motto, “Good spread, good bread.” Food is one of the great unifiers, with many a fond memory connected to certain dishes. For Gewald, her mom’s corned beef is a standout from when she was a kid. “I love a good Reuben probably because of her, and I think mine’s pretty good,” Gewald says. “I hate boasting about it because there’s competition in this town and I’m not trying to start a competition. I’m just saying I have a good sandwich, you know? I’ve always thought people in the same industry should support each other no matter what. “It’s not about dogging each other just to try to get the most business; it’s about supporting each other and helping each other. But my Reuben is good,” she adds, laughing. And the reviews on Facebook echo Gewald’s claim—you’ll have to try it for yourself to see how it plays with your own palate. Other than the deli meats, which Gewald orders from Boar’s Head along with the cheese, all of the meat used to make these sandwiches is slow roasted in-house for 10 hours to get as much flavor as possible. A new addition to Dank Sammies is a late-night discount menu for Happy Munchie Hour beginning at 10 p.m. The limited menu will feature light snacks like the buffalo chicken dip, munchable plate, garlic hummus, dill pickles and more. When Gewald revamps her main menu next, she’s planning to add creations like a portobello Reuben and a caprese avocado grilled sammie. Specials for the month of September include a $10 grilled cheese and tomato bisque combo. Find Dank Sammies at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz St., or order a meal for delivery through LoDel or Postmates. Call (928) 6067621, or visit www.facebook.com/DankSammies for hours of operation and more information.

A city is a city is a city Navigating Flagstaff as an outsider
T
he first graduating class of Northern Arizona University in 1901, then called Northern Arizona Normal School, consisted of four women who earned lifetime teaching certificates for the territory of Arizona. They paved the way for hundreds of thousands of students who sought an education in Flagstaff in the decades since, helping to shape MacKenzie the city into what it is today—for better or for worse, Chase depending on your point of view. With the first week of classes at NAU almost over, the dust seems to have settled following move-in weekend. Although much has changed with the university itself in recent years—state-of-the-art buildings, expanded course offerings, seemingly nonstop growth in both population and campus size—the hustle and bustle of out-of-town students returning in droves remains a constant. Before the hot, disappointing summer tapers off into a hopeful fall, disgruntled residents can be found aggressively complaining about the students to engaged and apathetic audiences alike, imploring anyone who isn’t a local to leave. “Go back to where you were born. Our doors are closed to outsiders.” Sound familiar? I moved here from Phoenix in August 2011 to attend NAU. Although anxious to be in a place where I didn’t know anyone except my roommate, a friend from elementary school, I was excited to explore the endless possibilities laid out in front of me. I could breathe fresh air and see constellations at night. I didn’t have a car the first three years I lived here; I traveled by foot, bike and bus, discovering new (to me) shops and public art. While the trails and storefronts are familiar friends now, I’m still in awe of the vibrant dark skies for which the city is famous. I never thought I’d still be here so many years later. A number of other alumni have put down roots here, contributing to the community by creating art and music or starting businesses. After Libby Gewald earned her master’s degree in elementary education from NAU in 2016, her involvement here was far from over. She currently runs Dank Sammies, a sandwich shop open for lunch and late-
night crowds, out of the Green Room’s small kitchen. In addition, she and husband Matt, who cohosts $hit Show Karaoke Wednesday nights at the bar, held their wedding reception at the venue. See the article on page 28 for more information on what her shop offers. Then there are business owners who specifically seek out the college environment. Alberto “Val” Valenzuela of Val’s Workshop, strategically located a just stone’s throw from north campus, thrives on the unique perspectives on life his clientele might share when they visit for a haircut. His story can be read on page 16. Two thirds of the Flag Live! staff and half the staff in the Arizona Daily Sun newsroom graduated from NAU. We work tirelessly doing the best we can with the limited resources we have to report on the events throughout town, and we were given many of the tools to help us succeed at the university. Still, many yearn for the Flagstaff that was, before NAU’s total enrollment surpassed 30,000, before paid parking downtown, before high-rise apartment buildings. Myself included sometimes. We all want to visit a new place and be greeted by unique locally owned businesses instead of the same ubiquitous chain restaurants. While Flagstaff has managed to keep a lot of its history downtown, the skyline continues to grow higher and people continue to be pushed out due to rising costs of living. No matter how crisp the evening, how accessible the hiking trail or how friendly strangers can be on the street, I forget sometimes why I enjoyed living here in the first place. At the end of the day, a city is a city and a job is a job, each with its own pros and cons. It helps to see things from an outsider’s point of view every once in a while. So when you get the opportunity, take the time to talk to someone who just moved to Flagstaff, whether they’re a student or made the move for a job opportunity or to be closer to family. You might just learn something new you can appreciate about this place we all live in—even if it’s just for four years. MacKenzie Chase is the managing editor of the Arizona Daily Sun’s niche publications, which include, among others, Flagstaff Live! and Northern Arizona’s Mountain Living Magazine.

Draining the swamp Where do the swamp critters go?
B
ragging that “we’re draining the swamp,” Donald Trump declared victory in June over “the unholy alliance of lobbyists and donors and special interests who made a living bleeding our country dry.” Bravo! But wait… where did all those swamp critters go? Right into Trump’s corporate-cozy administration, where they continue serving the unholy alliance that’s bleeding our country Jim dry. Hightower Trump’s government has consistently sided with corporations over workers, the environment, consumers and the common good, because corporate executives and lobbyists have become Trump’s government. His Interior Secretary was an oil lobbyist, his Treasury chief came straight from Wall Street, his EPA honcho lobbied for Big Coal, his health department is headed by a drug company executive… and on down the line to undersecretaries, bureau directors, etc. etc. About the grossest example of Trump Inc. is the Education Department, headed by billionaire heiress Betsy DeVos. She’s turned the department into a handmaiden
for the corrupt, for-profit college industry, which has ripped off millions of students (and billions of our tax dollars). DeVos has twisted law and logic to try to bail out and resurrect the Wall Street-backed, for-profit educational system. Her investors-first perversion of public education’s mission, backed by her political patron Trump, has brought great cheer to the corporate chieftains running these scams. A lawyer for the profiteers even penned an ode to The Donald, hailing him as the savior of this sleazy industry: “We’ve got a friend in Trump He’s lifting us out of our slump We were down—and life was rough Too many regs, were way too tough After so many years We’d just had enough, but Now we’ve got a friend in Trump.” As Lily Tomlin once put it, “No matter how cynical you get, it’s almost impossible to keep up.” Populist author, public speaker and radio commentator Jim Hightower writes The Hightower Lowdown, a monthly newsletter chronicling the ongoing fights by America’s ordinary people against rule by plutocratic elites.
