LETTER FROM HOME
Real broken wings “Thank you for creating such a positive and beautiful atmosphere. You looked at us as if we haven’t been broken just yet.” Note from a student have been fortunate to find another teaching position at our local university and, although I don’t often write about my students, they have been much on my mind since I sent them off to their final exams and summer vacations on April 29. Looking at the calendar today made me realize that I’ve traveled to Kachina Wetlands four times since their departure, seeking solace in nature. As many teachers will tell you, summer is a welcome respite from the frantic day-to-day work of acquiring new knowledge and putting into practice Stacy ideas and concepts learned Murison previously. That’s not the case for me this year. I haven’t been able to shake the feeling of melancholy—I miss my students. So, I keep returning to the wetlands, looking for connections between nature and humans in ways that maybe I hadn’t before. Teaching was what I learned to do in my mid-forties, when I was completing my master’s degree in creative writing. Teaching and bird watching have become my two passions. When I first started going to Kachina Wetlands, I had in mind that I would become some kind of intense birder, documenting all of my observations. Instead, the bird books were too heavy to carry (or I simply forgot them) and I found myself staring at birds, observing them beyond notations. My favorite pastime at the wetlands is watching red-winged blackbirds clutching cattail stalks while they sing. It’s a small feat of physics watching these bulbous little birds with delicate talons grip reeds, barely bending them. When the birds prepare to sing, they rotate their wings so that the red markings show like epaulets. This past weekend I watched as the blackbirds took over the main reservoir pond, singing their songs into the sunset. So many stalks held the blackbirds, each taking turns to sing. It reminded me of my students scattered throughout classrooms, each struggling in different ways this semester. We found ourselves together, gripping pens and styluses and white board markers, trying to write our thoughts, speaking in class hoping to be heard, and
I

trying to make sense of the world around us. Like the blackbirds, we were often singing different songs at different intervals, but at least we were together, making some kind of delightful noise. When I wasn’t staring at the blackbirds at Kachina this past weekend, I spotted a killdeer and followed it around the pond at a distance. The killdeer had a sad and beautiful cry that cut through the other bird songs. It was alone at the edge of the pond, eating something in the newly grown rushes, stopping to sing every so often, perhaps signaling to another killdeer friend or warning me to stay the hell away. After the sun set and a thousand mosquitoes landed on me, I drove home thinking about the killdeer, which I had only seen once before at the wetlands. Later that night, I read that killdeer will feign a broken wing, not to capture prey, as I originally thought, but to lure predators away from their nests. Although the blackbirds reminded me of the classroom, the killdeer was more akin to the feeling I had about the entire school year—closing the second year of teaching during a pandemic. It’s not that I was feigning a broken wing in hopes of taking pressure off my students or luring administrators away from them. But there is something to be said for showing up every day wishing I had a sling for my broken heart. Everywhere in the media, writers and talking heads try to tell me about “kids these days,” and how they are slacking off everywhere. I don’t know who they are referring to. Many students I worked with this past semester are working full time or two part-time jobs to put themselves through school. They are also juggling the demands of their families back home while trying to keep up with schoolwork. Some have even had their own hearts broken by a partner or a sibling or a friend, but they kept coming to school despite several waves of pandemic outbreaks. Every day, they showed up, hoping that for 75-minutes we could make some sense of the world around us. As an individual, I did my best for my students. I brought in snacks and tissues, emailed and texted to check in when they missed class, opened discussions on nonclass topics, played music, sang, danced, and helped them look for and document moments of beauty in their daily lives. I thought I would collapse on my sofa after grading but that hasn’t really happened.

Redwing Blackbird. Photo by Stacy Murison I’m missing my students keenly this summer and I want to reach out to them, check in, and send some memes and new Spotify playlists. I feel myself grasping onto the communities we created rather than letting the students find their own ways out of the proverbial nest of the classroom. For now, I’m keeping some distance to give my heart time to heal itself rather than pretend I haven’t been affected by the lives they have
been living these past two years. I have some new songs to learn this summer, and I know the students do as well. Stacy Murison is a Flagstaff-based writer.

FESTIVUS THAT CELEBRATES THE REST OF US
BABY GOT BACK
When you think of Flagstaff, what words come to mind? Eccentric? Outdoorsy? Fun? Well, if there is one festival that encapsulates all those descriptors, it’s Hullabaloo, and believe it or not, it’s back to ring in another beautiful summer with concerts, contests and COURTESY PHOTO giant puppets. The people of Flagstaff have voted this two-day event as the best festival in Flag ten times, and in the process, the festival has raised over $130,000 for local non-profits since 2010. This year, all the proceeds made during Hullabaloo will benefit the Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Flagstaff Family Food Center, making this festival not just a celebration of the town but also its generosity. This year’s Hullabaloo is bound to blow folks away, so be sure to buy your tickets now at www.flaghullabaloo.com and stop by Wheeler Park on June 4 and 5 to have fun for a good cause.

You know the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock in The Great Gatsby? F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote it in as a symbol of hope—many of us learned that in high school English class right? Speaking of hope and good things, a Flagstaff favorite returns this month. Don your flapper gear and fedoras, dig out your cigarette holders (can’t smoke inside, sorry) and get that bob haircut you’ve been to scared to try and head over to Uptown Pubhouse at for Gatsby Night. Those who know know, the return of this event post-COVID is a really big deal. You don’t want to miss it. There will be dancing and joyous reunions.

Atria, the newest gastronomy venture in downtown Flagstaff, transcends the garden party. Subtle shades of blossom and sage reflect the expectancy of spring. The theme of flourishing and floral carries forward in wallpaper, pale wood with cream leather chairs and a wall of stacked, snowy rock, studded with succulents. Booths of velveteen and textured cotton wrap around pebble inlay tables mingling with intimate, candlelit seating for two. It’s a pastel, playful, yet elegant, jardin serving farm-fresh, modern fare. The long, taupe, stone bar solicits patrons to sip a glass of rosé or splash out on bubbly. Atria boasts a modern interior with gentle brushes of pastel colors and an open-concept kitchen.

She was a finalist on Food Network’s Chopped Grill Masters; touted as one of the Valley’s “Top 5 Sous Chefs” by the Arizona Republic and “Best Sous Chef” by AZCentral before her induction into the Arizona Culinary Hall of Fame in 2017. Daniel began cooking at the age of 15. While employed at a country club, she peered into the kitchen and longed for the camaraderie there, so offered herself as a cook. Despite lacking any skills, she was hired for her interest and honesty. It was a pattern that would grow her proficiency.

Post-high school, Daniel entered Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Scottsdale. The career-focused school prepared her technically, but multiple part-time cooking positions reinforced capabilities. Catering challenged her, but trailing at Zinc Bistro presented the biggest kick in the pants and reward. In trailing, chefs work for free on a shortterm basis in exchange for experience. “I was kicked off the line on my first day, but quietly stuck around in the background listening,” she remembers. The big guys in the kitchen had hazed Daniel, but her perseverance impressed them, and she started work the next day, her birthday. She became the first female chef at Zinc. Daniel took her cred to L’Auberge de Sedona to revamp and rebrand the property’s restaurants. There, she fell for Northern Arizona, and a partnership with Karan and Kunal Patel plus Barry Levitan created Atria. The hyper-seasonal spot opened in December. The menu aims are, “Whatever looks beautiful and tastes good—this makes us happy,” Daniel explains. After endless hours considering menus, sourcing and artistry, she says, “I feel accomplished when it’s plated well, and the joy is better in a small venue versus a large one.” Care is apparent in standards from seafood to steaks and bespoke pasta, showcasing locally-grown or foraged produce. For starters, the charred shrimp tartare stacks marinated morsels on a smoky, gritty blue corn tortilla with crispy shallot, chili and pickled apple. Served on a bed of black stone and moss, it is sculpture with notes of sharp, smoke and sea. The confit Sonoma duck leg and house-

The understated Linz beef tartare tempts with a reduction of sake mirin plus maple and mushroom bottarga with a truffle cloud. Kennebec potatoes, prepped frites street style, gain flavor from tallow. The nuanced production evokes steak and frites. “It takes me back to my French bistro days,” Daniel says. The pasta is handmade by Chops Smith. “There is a science behind it—equations to get it perfect,” Daniel says. The pasta stew of orecchiette or “little ears,” handmade lamb Merguez, artichoke, labneh, grilled rapini, golden raisins, olives, mint and Castelmagno cheese is hearty, creamy and memorable. The bone marrow arrives, smoking on a grill. “People are afraid of it, but it’s a chef favorite,” hints Daniel.

ith a seemingly endless maze of maintained trail systems to explore and mild summer weather, it would be more surprising if Flagstaff did not have a robust biking community. But luckily for residents and visitors, Cosmic Cycles has been here to outfit riders since 1972. “The bike industry has gone through waves in town and throughout the nation and the world, but I really do think it comes down to just really enjoying riding bikes in Flagstaff,” owner Scott Heinsius said of the shop’s longevity. Fifty years since it was established by Elson Miles, Cosmic remains a go-to resource for many. The bike shop began its legacy on South San Francisco Street and relocated to a few different storefronts north of the tracks before settling into its current location on West Birch Ave. Centrally located across from Wheeler Park and the Flagstaff Urban Trail System, it’s the ideal home base for adventurers of all skill levels. Mountain bikers and casual road cyclists alike benefit from the expertise of Cosmic staff, whether that’s getting recommen-

or just get out on the trails during a quick weekend trip. “I think people get on a nice bike that’s been taken care of and tuned up properly and they’re stoked. We’ve started to increase rentals a lot these last couple weeks and people come back and they’re just blissed out,” Heinsius said with a laugh. Before hitting the trails for the season or returning to regular bike commuting, Heinsius encourages folks to check for common issues such as flat tires, holes in tubes, thin brake pads and squeaky chains. “It’s common for bikes to sit in the garage for a lot of people during the wintertime,” he said. “I think for most people it’s those few basic hurdles they need to get over to get back on their bike and it can be really as simple at times as just adding air to your tires. These bikes we see are in all kinds of different states of disrepair and we’re pretty honest with how we treat people, so if we don’t need to spend $400 on someone’s bike, we won’t try to force it on them.” Beyond selling, renting and doing repairs, Cosmic has been an integral part of the biking community through its involvement with the Flagstaff Biking Organization, support of other organizations like the nonprofit Lefty Loosey Bike Co-op and advocacy for new trail development as well as maintenance of current trails. “Flagstaff’s really a mountain bike town at its heart,” Heinsius said. “I’ve personally been in the bike industry here for

Now it’s becoming a lot more established.” And there are trails for everyone to explore throughout Flagstaff. Beginners will enjoy the alternating asphalt and hard-packed dirt of the 50-plus-mile FUTS while those looking for something a little more challenging yet still casual can check out the Fort Valley Trail System as a choose-your-own-adventure trip or Campbell Mesa Loop off of Country Club. For experienced riders, technical routes abound on the Arizona Trail and Schultz Creek Trail. To get a feel for a classic Flagstaff technical downhill, Heinsius recommends Sunset Trail on Mount Elden. “We are just so lucky to have hundreds of miles of trails and dirt roads everywhere,” he said. “I think people will always realize the value of that. Whether they’re visiting or moving here or they’ve lived here for 30 years, I think that’s one of the coolest parts about living in Flagstaff.” Cosmic Cycles is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at 123 W.

Masters of Brewtality get made in the shade
T
he humble ghosts and ghouls down here in the Masters of Brewtality crypt would like you, dear reader, to put down whatever you’re drinking, quiet whatever digital distractions may be buzzing in the background, and prepare yourselves for what follows…. Made In The Shade is back this month after a three year hiatus! Three years!!! That’s right! One of Flagstaff’s finest beer festivals is returning to claim whatever decimated MIKE bits of liver we have left WILLIAMS after surviving these dark post-2019 times. And they’re doing it huge, folks. This year, there’s a whopping 90 breweries participating, including local favorites like Wanderlust, Historic, and Grand Canyon as well as national heavy hitters like Lagunitas, Sam Adams, and New Belgium. Beer isn’t your jam? That’s okay, nobody’s perfect, and they’ve got you covered. Truly and Twisted Tea will be out, plus Shilling and Angry Orchard ciders, too! The lunacy begins at noon on June 11 and runs a suds laden marathon until 5 p.m. at the Pepsi Amphitheater. A couple pro-tips…. Despite being called Made in the Shade, patrons should be prepared for a sunny Flagstaff afternoon. There’s nothing worse than waking up with a well-earned hangover and foolishly attained sunburn, so bring plenty of sunblock. We’re also huge proponents of intensive hydration both before, during, and after these benders. Pedialyte finally bit the bullet and acknowledged that a huge chunk of their market is viciously hungover adults and it’s honestly a lifesaver. In addition to the booze, Made in the Shade will be featuring four separate DJ booths to keep your booties rocking wherever you might stumble and there’s a bevy of food trucks including BBQ and the always classic kettle corn. In the interest of safety, the festival will be providing a free shuttle service so you can cut loose as much as possible while still technically being responsible. We cannot emphasize this enough: the entire town’s police force knows what this is and exactly when it’s happening, so don’t even

Stephen Hendricks with Beaver Street Brewery hands out small glasses of beer at the 2018 Made in the Shade Beer Festival at Fort Tuthill. This year’s event is right around the corner, with festivities launching in mid-June.
This year, the festival’s stated goal is that its a “tasting with a purpose.” bother risking it by driving. Also, Pepsi Amphitheater is a whopping three miles from downtown, cut your carbon emissions and decrease traffic by riding a bike maybe? We’ve done the research and there’s nothing better to compliment a warm sunny day’s bike ride like a mountain of good beer.
This year, the festival’s stated goal is that its a “tasting with a purpose.” Every bit of the proceeds will directly benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona, an organization that provides recorded audio literature to people across the state who are blind, physically unable to hold literature or otherwise unable to read for any reason. We’ve never really needed an excuse to drink down here in the crypt, but drinking to help people who can’t read on their own is probably one of the finest reasons we can think of. We’re really stoked that Sun Sounds exists. They have hundreds of volunteer staff members broadcasting over 200 different publications 24/7 and reach the entire state.

NICOLE’S IMPOSSIBLY POSSIBLE IDEAS

with my wrist and I’d have to see an orthopedic specialist the next day. I wrapped a flour towel around my wrist and went to sleep, better able to deal with the wrist trauma the next day. I considered this a practical move— saving time and money. The next day, driving to Instacare, I noticed that Flagstaff Bone & Joint took Walk-in appointments. Sometimes, I do believe in serendipity. Two hours later, the physician’s assistant arrived in the examination room. “Well, honey, it’s more than sprained. See that bend there? And there’s supposed to be a little jut here. And look at that fracture.” It looked OK to me—I didn’t see any cracks. How could I know which way my wrist should bend? Perhaps I could learn to appreciate this new, tilted version of my hand. What did broken wrists do before surgery? They healed themselves, bent and changed, but still, mostly still falling under the definition of wrist. I let them go ahead and book the surgery to reorient my wrist to its original direction. Now, I have a plate and three screws in my wrist. My friend Beya says I repel bullets like Wonder Woman’s bracelet although it might take an impossible amount of dancing to make my right wrist as technologically advanced as my left.
