La Llorona

By Tony Norris

The crying woman of the Rio de Flag

etter than 100 years ago Flagstaff, my rough and tumble frontier town, had more saloons than churches. There was a young woman named Maria. Maria was probably the best looking girl in northern Arizona and she knew it. She would talk to her abuelita, her little grandmother: “When I marry, I am going to marry the most handsome cowboy. He will have hair as black as a raven’s wing and moustaches that come down and curve up on the end.”

“Maria,” her grandmother would warn her, “don’t be so concerned with appearances. When it comes time to choose a husband, look for a man that is a good father and a good provider. Don’t worry if he is the most handsome.” But Maria knew what she wanted. One day, she was in downtown Flagstaff in front of the Babbitt trading post. She was looking at a dress in the window that had just come in from the east on the train.

She said to herself, “Maria that dress would really look good on you.” As Maria was admiring the dress, she was also admiring Unknown artist rendering of La Llorona. Courtesy photo her own refection in the window.

When the young cowboy saw Maria, he stepped off his got in the buggy and drove away. Boom de boom boom.

Mothers would try to scare their children into behaving by saying, you better get home on time or La Llorona will get you.

I want to tell you about one time. It was a summer night and children were playing along the creek. The shadows were getting long and the sun was going down. It was beginning to get dark and they heard a sound.

“Suppertime, suppertime.” All across Flagstaff, mothers were calling their children home for dinner. One by one they said, “There’s my mom. I gotta go.” But one little boy, kind of a tough little boy, did not go home. He was having fun. He wanted to play. “I’m going to sit right here on this big white rock and watch the full moon rise.” And that’s just what he did. As he was watching the big full moon rise above the pine trees, he noticed a figure, all dressed in white, coming through the trees toward him. And he could hear her cry, “Mis hijos. Mis hijos.“ And he knew it was La Llorona. Just then, the figure noticed the little boy and said, “Mi Hijo!“ She stretched out her arms toward him. The boy could see that there was no flesh on the hands, just the bones of a skeleton.

“Mi hijo, my son.” And she grabbed him by the shoulders.

It felt like icicles digging into his flesh. He was staring into the face of La Llorona, but she didn’t have a face. It was just a skull.

The little boy could not move a muscle. Just then the bells of the church began to ring. Bong, bong, bong. The little boy remembered a prayer his abuelito told him. He prayed like he never had prayed in his life. La Llorona released him and turned and walked away along the Rio. When she disappeared, he jumped up and began to run for home. He ran so fast he hit the kitchen door. The door flew open. His mother said, “Where have you been? Supper has been on the table for 20 minutes.”

“Mama,” he cried, “La Llorona!” “Don’t tell me your stories,” she said. But then she saw the bloody finger prints on his shoulder and she believed.

This little boy did not stay out late anymore. He did all his chores. He did all his homework. He was the best behaved boy in Flagstaff. But if you were to go to his home, his mother would bring out the shirt and show you the fingerprints in blood of La Llorona. They still say that if you are walking along the Rio on a moonlit night, you may hear a sound. At first, you’ll think it is the sound of the wind in the pine trees. But if you listen closely, you will hear “Mis hijos. Mis hijos,“ and that will be La Llorona looking for her children.

The Ramen Years

By Kelly Poe Wilson

A

friend of mine recently asked the following question on social media: Why we are failing to prepare the young people in our community for living life on their own?

Failing them to the point that, when faced with conflicts of either the external or internal kind, they have no other fallback than violence— again, either of the external or internal kind.

Or sometimes both. I think it might have been a rhetorical question. I hope it was a rhetorical question, because the more I thought about it the more the only answer I could come up with was, “I don’t know.”

I used to think I knew the answer. I used to think lack of honest preparation was the problem. That the kids who fell apart upon reaching adulthood were the ones who were overwhelmed with the realities of roommates who didn’t pay their share of the rent and had wisdom teeth that insisted on coming in a week before payday. That they didn’t understand growing up comfortably middle class didn’t automatically translate to starting out in life comfortably middle class themselves.

That the ones who understood there would undoubtedly be a few—maybe even more than a few—lean years between leaving the nest and being able to afford Internet for their own nest were the ones who would, eventually, make it. That it was important to communicate early and often that these were what were known as “The Ramen Years,” and

Lean times out of the nest that they were hard, and difficult, and frustrating, and also very, very necessary. Necessary not only for personal growth, but also for ultimately being able to appreciate being able to afford to buy those special treats in your later years. Things like the name brand mac and cheese. (Yeah, the stuff in the blue box.

Although if they had really learned the lessons of poverty they wouldn’t buy the good stuff even if they could afford it. After all, that stuff is like 30 cents more expensive.)

And sometimes I still think good preparation is the answer. That the problem isn’t so

much with kids demonstrating a “failure to launch” as it is with parents demonstrating a “failure to press eject.” I’ve certainly seen enough 20-somethings still living at home (or being supported by home) that it seems a likely culprit. However, I also know that the explanation is seldom ever so simple.

Sometimes, the ones that leave home with the most promise end up right back where they started a few years later. And sometimes the one that seemed the most destined to fail hit the ground running and never look back.

That it was important to communicate early and o�ten that these were what were known as “The Ramen Years,” and that they were hard, and di��icult, and frustrating, and also very, very necessary.

And then there’s the question that inevitably runs through my head when I hear about the aftermath of somebody’s child taking out their despair on themselves or others: “What about Paris?” What I mean by that is most of these kids seem to have given up before they ever got to the good stuff—they gave up hope before they ever even knocked back one espresso with their elbows clinging to the edge of a zinc bar somewhere in the Montmarte. Before they sat up even one night solving all of the world’s problems in the downstairs lounge of a shady hostel two blocks from the Seine. Before they even had one bite of the best falafel in the Marais. After all, not even Hemingway lost all hope until he went back to Idaho.

Or maybe Paris isn’t your thing. Maybe it’s Goa, or Tokyo, or Machu Picchu. My point is that, yes, while it’s true that running away from your problems doesn’t always solve them—sometimes it does. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective to, well, give you a new perspective.

Sometimes all it takes is eating ramen in another language. It’s at least worth a try.

The Hozhoni Foundation is a home away from home for some of Flagstaff’s most respected and talented artists. One renowned figure, Robert Zappanti, recently added the finishing touches to a mural commissioned by the Flagstaff Family Food Center food bank and kitchen, and now a party is in order. An artist reception and unveiling features work, which FFFC Executive Director, Steve Saville, granted Zappanti creative license to illustrate. Saville only asked the mural reflect Flagstaff’s past as well as a food-centric theme, and the result contains an enlightened mix of ranging and trading post history with food items once a staple in the area. Zappanti enjoys work that reflects a symbiotic relationship between himself and animal life. Born and raised in the Southwest, the artist says he brings magic to his art in the same way as other animals bring magic to him.

He is also the first participant of the Hozhoni Art Program to exhibit his work internationally, and the party is ready to circle back home. With his mural greeting visitors on the south-side wall, the community is invited to a celebration amid friends and food at the Flagstaff Family Food Center, 1903 N. 2nd Street, beginning at 2 p.m. Free. 526-2211. www.hotfood.org.

he ultimate fright night just got a whole lot spookier with the Circus Bacchus collective setting up a show-stopping house of horrors on Mischief Night. The troupe will tap into their inner ghouls in an entirely reimagined rendition of last year’s show, which garnered the performers their fourth Viola Award nomination. A Nightmare on Aspen Street II creates a monstrous program with daredevil acts with vaudeville-style burlesque, contortionists’ tricks and all things horrific. Gasp as jugglers fondle meat cleavers and swords while aerialists maneuver through the air. Belly dancers will get saucy amid zombies, frightening clowns and other demonic creatures of the night that will come out to play. The hits keep comin’ with music from the Bacchus Family Band intermingling with all the color, comedy and spectacle fans love to devour from Flagstaff’s preeminent circus artists. And, of course … there will be blood. You’ll want to keep your eyes wide open for this nightmare at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. For its thematic approach to gore and graphic content, this show is ages 18 and over. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the witchery begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16. To learn more, call 556-1580 or visit Circus Bacchus on Facebook.

On Mischief Night, when all the ghosts and ghouls arise, some may find greater comfort in the warm and tender embrace of that cartoon fantasy factory known as Disney Studios. The Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra is preparing an evening fit for the whole family with their latest Pops program addition, The Magical Music of Disney. Led by conductor Elizabeth Schulze, the orchestra is ready to rock and roll on a litany of House of Mouse classics beginning with the Disney overture. From there, Northern Arizona University Theatre professor and chair, Kathleen McGeever, will spice up the multimedia performance with a little historic background for each piece including suites from favorites like Mulan, The Lion King, The Beauty and the Beast, Hercules and many more—even one of Disney’s newest additions, Frozen. To get the crowd truly in the picture, stills and scenes from The Little Mermaid and the like will color the screen in tandem with the players’ recitals.

Make the House of Mouse home for the evening at Ardrey Auditorium, 1115 S. Knoles Drive, on NAU’s north campus. Music begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $20–$74. 774-5107. www. flagstaffsymphony.org.

SATURDAY | 10.31‌ BACK THAT BRASS UP‌

In the big-band world of New Orleans brass bands, one seldom crosses the line of those on the level of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Formed at the Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club in New Orleans, with Benny Jones at the helm in 1977, their origins can truly be traced back more than a century before that. At the time, black southerners could rarely afford proper burials, so the club would handle the arrangements. And thus the birth of the Jazz Funeral came about, and from the tradition, the house band at the Dirty Dozen. The seven-piece troupe adopted the club’s name, and has since evolved from playing parties and local clubs to a world-renowned influence combining traditional brass band efforts with funk and pop. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band can be heard flipping records on their tails through appearances on cuts by some of the most massive names in music including David Bowie and Elvis Costello. They are also heard on Modest Mouse’s 2004 record, Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

Four floors and all manner of imps and demons lurking in between—well, it sounds like Halloween at the Hotel Weatherford. Haunted Hotel II lines up a creepy concoction of music and frights from DJs Emmett White, Marty Marr and Blake Brady spinning wax in the Gopher Hole while the rock ‘n’ roll jams thrill and chill at Charly’s Pub & Grill with Ash Cashmere, Heebie Jeebies, Coffee Pot and Ice Sword. Leveling up to the mezzanine, it’ll get real horrorshow with the spooky cinema.

Up in the Zane Grey Ballroom, Larry Holloway and DJ Obsidian will paint it black with their spin on spooky tunes while a photobooth setup will snap all sorts of guests. The artsy skeleton queen herself, Emma Gardner, will have all the treats as she floats from floor to floor while Andres “Dapper Dre” Adauto lords over the microphone. Artist Lindsay Kelsey’s decorations add the ultimate touch to this horrific holiday in tandem with Liquid Mountain Light Show and Purdy Lites. Snag your spot in Halloween history at the historic Hotel Weatherford, 23 N. Leroux, starting at 6:30 p.m. There is a $5 cover at the door.

A friendly meditation

By Andrew Wisniewski

I

t’s 10:43 a.m. on a Thursday.

Airports are prime real estate when it comes to people watching; so many folks from different walks of life coming, going. These places are global intersections, a series of paths momentarily crossing one another before moving forever forward, the only direction any of us can go. We’re all en route to and from visits with family and friends, business or pleasure, or just to get away from it all to destinations known or otherwise. For me, this trip to Chicago is all about catching up with my two best childhood friends. Thick as thieves, we haven’t been in the same room in nearly three years—far too long. Last time we took Jax Beach by storm.

Some sit it silence and simply wait, others read or drown out the world with music. I listen to music and write and just watch, or at least until a lovely elderly couple—whose names I never got—sitting next to me chat me up. They’re longtime Chicagoans who now call the warmth of the Valley of the Sun home. I tell them of my friends and job and life, and they too tell me about their lives in Chicago, love of the Cubs, family and friends, and just how important all of those things are. With them is an empty suitcase they plan on filling with old photos left behind in Chicago—a lifetime of memories. Before long we part ways. Well wishes are exchanged and we move forward.

As the plane soars into the now afternoon air I’m left looking at how truly lucky I am to have the friends I do, and the two or three or four dozen at the top. I’ve been fortunate to meet and call so many wonderful people friends, many of whom are still, and I imagine will always be, in the picture. Like airports, in life our paths continually cross. Some windows are short and sweet, others short and painful. There are those that stretch a bit before fading with time. With others it’s as if time never passed. Friends come and go, but with a precious few, we should hold on.

In a rude world luck has somehow stuck by my side. No friends have passed. Some have faced injury while others have, as we all do, experienced hardships. But, most are good and well. Then, the night before my flight, I learned of an old friend whom, for no real good reason, I’ve lost touch with over the years. As I came to find, hard drugs found their way into his life, and he now faces a lengthy prison spell. A day later I’m left thinking of that suitcase loaded up with pictures of the past as I look at a photo of us climbing; my first day on real rock. It was a great day. Back then so much possibility lay ahead. It’s still there, but we never really know what’s coming for us.

My flight landed and for three straight days the three of us—great friends of more than 20 years for which no time had ever seemed to pass—ate and drank our way through town. The second after walking through the door, hugging it out and cracking open a beer, we caught up. All having seen the city sights in earlier passes we promptly agreed this trip was about enjoying each other’s company and chewing the fat (so to speak), nothing more. The trip was a gluttonous success aided by two of my best college friends, and by the end, three days of food and libations and laughs and continuous repeats of all these things translated into hellish heartburn and unfriendly hangovers.

About as quickly as we agreed to our initial plan, and in spite of all the fun we’d had, we agreed to never do it again.

On the return trip, in a haze of content and looking forward to getting back to a healthy lifestyle, I thought of this place I call home, this little mountain oasis I never thought I’d end up back in. I considered my mother and the those currently in my Flagstaff circle of friends and how, in a lifetime of good folks that have come and gone, these people are without question some of the best, and just how important they are to finding happiness.

We are all surfing on the circles that constitute our lives. Please, find goodness and enjoy the ride.

Encountered a Bio-Hazard Like an epic adventure fail, our best laid plans for a Bio-Adversity section that highlighted misadventures and misdirections hasn’t taken off like it should. It was further marred by the discontinuance of the National Park Service Morning Report, which typically gives news about what’s going on in Park Service land. Some of it is scary and some of it is weird. So, we’re mourning the Morning Report, which was looking to be one of our sources on the side. So, meanwhile, pardon the dust this week and possibly the next one or two while we figure out which path we’d like to head down next. Kindly, the Flag Live Staff.

and emotional attributes at the beginning of the game, your various skills will evolve throughout the course of play depending on the decisions you make, the people and situations you encounter, and the equipment you find and craft.

The thing I’ve loved most about the last two games, Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout: New Vegas (2010), is the sheer size of the gameplay world. Because it’s completely open, you can explore at your leisure, though you never know when a vicious mole-rat, deathclaw or super-mutant might be waiting in the next alley or cave. The diversity of experiences is simply incredible. Combine that with jawdropping graphics, a wry sense of humor, and decent voice acting (Liam Neeson and Malcolm McDowell were among those featured in Fallout 3), and one can spend hundreds and hundreds of hours roaming the landscape to meet whatever challenges arise.

I’m not a big gamer; I don’t own a console and these days only rarely play a game on my PC. But I’ve been excited about Fallout 4 since it was announced in June. My pre-order is in and I’ll be among the millions downloading those delicious gigabytes on November 10.

(Or not? Coincidentally, a commercial for the game appeared on television while I was writing this. My wife pointed out that since it’s Rated M for Mature, I won’t be allowed to play.

Oh well, she’s a poopy-pants.)

t has been 200 years since the Great War, when nuclear missiles rained down on the world in a two-hour conflagration that would forever change the planet. When I emerge from Vault 111, where I and generations before me were born and raised and have spent our entire lives, I’m struck by the devastation of what was once Boston—I suppose that’s why the outside is now called the Wastelands. I’ll have plenty of time to explore as a multitude of missions will take me hundreds of miles; along the way I’ll encounter mutated insects and animals, as well as various tribes, factions, gangs and individuals. I’ll often have to decide for myself whom to consider friend or foe. Other times it will be painfully obvious.

Such is the world of Fallout 4, the newest installment in Bethesda Game Studios’ stunning videogame series. A combination of intense action and thoughtful role-playing, the game immerses you in a first-person adventure as a vault (fallout shelter) dweller who has surfaced to make his way in the Wastelands. The exact reason isn’t yet clear as Fallout 4 won’t be released until November 10, but if previous releases are any indication, the initial impetus for your appearance won’t matter that much.

This is because the game is completely nonlinear. There isn’t a set storyline; instead, every player’s experience will be different. While you will set up your persona’s physical, intellectual

our beers. They’re all pretty much solely available on draft and growler fills. There are several places around town that’ll fill growlers with our stuff, too.

anderlust Brewing Co. is to professional beer connoisseurs what Tequila Sunrise is to entry-level drunks, making brewmaster Nathan Friedman that responsible doorman handing you those oh-so essential water bottles without a hint of judgment. Going on three years of some of the most standout craft beers in Flagstaff, Flag Live is pleased to feature their fall Dunkelweizen, a delicious and respectful take on one of the world’s oldest and most distinctive brews. The weather’s changing—a perfect excuse for an afternoon wrapped up in a cold pint. Drink up! ‌Visit Wanderlust’s taproom at 1519 N. Main Street, #102. Hours are Thu and Fri from 4–9 p.m., Sat 2–8 p.m. and closed Sun through Wed. For more info, call 351-7952 or visit www.wanderlustbrewing. com.

Serving temp?

German wheat beers are usually served pretty cold, so I’d go about 37 degrees. You don’t want to go super warm with them; otherwise they’ll get sticky sweet.

The breakdown Type of hop used: German hallartau, sorachi ace Type of yeast used: Traditional German hefeweizen Type of malt: Wheat, pilsner, carmel wheat, medium crystal ABV: 4.8% IBU: 20

From the brewer Mike Williams: What should we pair with this?

Nathan Friedman: This is a traditional malty German beer, so it’s got sweetness to it. Something that’s a little heavier. It’s a good fall beer, so the traditional German meat dishes, a sausage or something along those lines. We also get a lot of people who like to pair this with a dessert because it’s a sweeter beer. With the amount of flavor, it stands up well to chocolate.

Brewing soundtrack?

We tend to listen to a lot of ’90s rock around here because that’s kind of our demographic.

Complimentary outdoor activity?

It’s the perfect beer for getting out on a hike.

We bring this beer out around this time just in time for the leaves to change. Probably a good climbing beer, too. Everything is getting cold and the rocks are getting nice and sticky.

Indoor?

My beers always go with eating (laughs). It’s a great beer to sip on while cooking barbecue. It goes well with the smoke and that heavy meat smell.

Throw on a sweatshirt and fire up the grill a few more times before it starts snowing!

Worst place to drink it?

Inner-city Baltimore.

Best place to drink it?

On the Peaks. For sure.

Ideal container?

We do the glass growlers, but I do like the stainless steel ones. Honestly, the best container for this is the German hefeweizen glass. I always encourage people to take some with them, but you can’t get it any fresher than at the taproom. The second you put it in a growler, it’s already starting to age.

Your personal favorite thing about this beer?

To me, it tastes like what a good malty German beer should be. This is the only seasonal beer that we’ve done every year that we’ve been open. They’re typically rotated every few months and every single fall for the three years we’ve been open, we’ve brewed this. We’ll probably brew it every fall from now on, too. A lot of German beers are very heavy on the banana and bubblegum flavors. This has a little of that in the aroma, but you’re also getting a lot of cloves and spice out of it and that helps to cut the sweetness a bit so that it keeps it super drinkable.

Tap/bottle/can?

Right now, it’s just available on tap. We only bottle our barrel-aged beers and they come out anywhere between two and four times a year.

It’s a pretty rare thing that we’ll bottle any of

How’d you start brewing?

Home brewing for about six years before starting this. I’m an engineer by trade, so the whole process of beer making was really intriguing. I spent years working to perfect the basics, like pale ales, hefeweizens, IPAs, stouts and porters. Just making sure I had all those really dialed in before I even started doing my own thing and then I got really interested in Belgian beers, which is a lot of what we do here. I’ve traveled to Belgium a few times now and it’s just a whole different world of beer there—very inspiring. I just dived right in though. I’ve been a process control engineer since I got out of college and the technical side of it, I won’t say it’s second nature, but it’s been very easy to pick since the concepts translate. Process control is process control; it’s just figuring out how to do it on your system.

Pinky up or down?

Down. Pinky out if it’s served in a smaller glass, but this beer could very easily be served in a stein.

Finally, our Masters of Brewtality bonus question: Is there beer in Hell?

There probably is, but it’s really skunky and oxidized. Maybe Heineken … Ha! Masters of Brewtality is a new monthly feature that brings a Flagstaff-based craft brewery and one of their top beers to the table. Each month we’ll pick a new beer, sit down with one of the brewers, and pick their brain with a set of questions—both serious and funny—so we can learn more about some of our favorite local beers and the folks who brew it all up. On tap next month: Wanderlust Brewing Co.

WHEN WORDS COLLIDE

By Diandra Markgraf Photos by Taylor Mahoney

Visitors examine Aphasia at the opening Oct. 23.

ommunication is an indispensable vein of human existence.

This ability to share ideas and thoughts, or even to

simply ask for a glass of water, is critical to the further

understanding of ourselves and the world around us. After a traumatic brain injury, one can develop a neurological language disorder called

aphasia, which limits—or can completely erase—this ability. And for a writer, especially, aphasia can signal a terrifying about-face.

Combining micro-essays with painted canvases, Aphasia:

Neurological Disorder in Text and Image manifests a lifetime of work for two artists who scoured their pasts to create for the future.

She takes her time sounding out each letter, savoring the flavor of the word.

The concept, which means to use one’s art to describe another’s, is at the heart of the two-part exhibition that does not begin and end with aphasia.

“Aphasia has a large scope, so if you think about somebody who’s had a traumatic brain injury or stroke where they cannot even speak—that’s a really horrifying end of it,” Armstrong says.

“Then there’s my end of it where I was a very high-functioning writer, and I function in a different way now. For this project, I think we could say aphasia is a literal condition, but also a metaphor for difficulties in expressing yourself that I think a lot of people can relate to where you just can’t get the word. I think a lot of people get this.”

She points to one of Taylor’s canvases, bathed in violet, and says, “I am just having trouble expressing myself and it looks like that.”

Trustwithoutfalling

Aphasia lines the halls of the Riles Building.

Powertocreate

One year ago, Jane Armstrong, Professor of Creative Writing at Northern Arizona University, and Christopher Kane Taylor, Beasley Art Gallery coordinator and drawing and painting instructor, met at the gallery’s annual Wall Draw. Armstrong’s words and Taylor’s style of New American Paintings offer symbiotic convergence of their own creative passions, as well as collegiate departments, in Aphasia—their first collaboration.

Inside Beasley, with Wall Draw winding down around them, Taylor shows Armstrong the five canvases he’d been working on prior to the exhibition’s opening on Fri, Oct. 23.

Their colors range from light to dark, slicing through the text comprising the bulk of each painting.

Armstrong smiles and offers her approval.

“These are such perfect manifestations of what I wrote that it kind of gave me the chills,” she says.

Armstrong explains that her words describe what it feels like to struggle through

16 16 fl aglive.com | Oct. 29–Nov. 29–Nov.4, flaglive.com 4,2015 2015

real-life word searches, at times coming up empty or slightly off-base. But Taylor’s paintings give the viewer the power to feel experiences, offering sense through the images’ demonstration.

Twenty years ago, while pursuing her PhD in creative writing, Armstrong was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. According to the National MS Society, MS is the immune system’s response to eat away the protective coverings of the nerves. This trauma can lead to cognitive problems, which for Armstrong include short-term memory loss and aphasia.

Symptoms can range from lapses in language fluidity to absolute silence, the brain stuck in a cognitive void.

Armstrong’s vibrancy and quick wit belie this daily battle. She explains she must carefully plan what she calls “brain time,” the hours or so a day before inexplicable fatigue takes over. For decades she has gratefully devoted that time to her students, but says she now feels this collaborative project has energized her to write personally.

“I knew I wanted to write about that in some way, particularly if it progresses,” she says. “I want to try and write about it while I still can, if that makes sense, while I still have enough words to write about losing words.”

Taylor explains he wrestled how to honor another person’s life’s work through his, and feeling the full weight of her words.

“In my work, I’ve explained it: The drawing becomes the writing, and the writing becomes the drawing.

You see the words as the art so that the words aren’t a prop within it. It is what it is,” he says of his work.

The title painting sets the project’s tone. Using text from Armstrong’s micro-essays, dark colors hold back neon yellow in the word “Aphasia.”

“For me, that was kind of a battle,” Taylor says of his use of dark color, noting the complements add tension.

“Especially with the text, I wanted to allow some of that hope to come through. It’s still bright, but on top is the darkness.”

One canvas is comprised of each word in Amrstrong’s essay, “Word Finding.” “This idea works perfectly for this text because of the nature of how it’s written,” Taylor adds. The painting is made of layers and layers of words, one layer barring the next—conveying an emotion Armstrong says feels just like being confused, unable to grasp the right word.

With funds from the Faculty Grants Program, the artists worked their ideas separately, and have provided a dualistic experience for the viewer. Taylor notes the collaborative experience brings a level of understanding between the composers, and a trust in the self, the work and the approval of the other.

We haven’t been talking about the MS,” says Taylor. “For me, when I started reading the writing is when I started to feel the weight of what Jane was carrying without asking too much. She’s a writer, she’s an artist that I trusted I would be able to get all the information I really needed through her art.”

Looking L ooking at Taylor, Armstrong adds, “It’s been transformative to release that. I so trust you know what you’re doing.”

Through his entire text-based corpus, Taylor says he enjoys reading between the

lines. “For me, it’s finding the clues within the language and taking that idea. I’m conscious you are going to be able to read the text and have that experience. Then the onus is on me to make that into a visual experience.”

Pointing to the words “Stygian Void,” Taylor says Armstrong’s nuanced use of language stood out so he was able to cherry pick in a way that “felt right.”

The pair also appreciate the collaborate The aspect of bridging the art and writing departments within the university.

They thought about honoring their first meeting by having the show in Beasley,

but decided the Riles building would also work—a showing of arts and letters literally converging in the same building that houses the college of the same disciplines.

“We thought it was important to show our colleagues what we’re doing,” Taylor adds. “It’s perfect timing to have something that is bringing different ideas together.”

And in the same way Armstrong explains her “ekphrastor” complements what she couldn’t explain entirely, this project stands as a testament not only to aphasia. It encompasses the beauty and intricacies of language and art, and the fear of losing that.

It tackles collaboration and individuality, the visual and the visceral in trusting the self and creative abilities.

Motioning back to the deep purple canvas, Armstrong adds, “We are such a fastmoving culture, but this is saying, ‘Stand here with me.’ And I think that is really important and powerful.”

Aphasia: Neurological Disorder in Text and Image continues through April 29 on the second floor of the Riles Building, 317 W. Tormey Drive on the NAU campus. Gallery hours are Mon–Fri from 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

BY MYKEL VERNON-SEMBACH

Reinventing ramen One nonstop noodle shop’s mission to take Flagstaff’s palate by storm

‌R

amen entices us with its crinkly, brightlycolored wrapping and sodium-dense flavor packets. It draws us in with its outrageously affordable price tag and almost immediate preparation time. Known for its prominence in college students’ pantries, ramen has become somewhat of a brazen orphan in a sea of international foods. ‌It has been within the past few years that the noodle itself has suddenly transformed from outcast to celebrity ingredient. Ramen burgers, ramen grilled cheese, ramen salad, ramen mac ‘n’ cheese—the food has now found itself its own space on the pyramid. In a world where it has—dare I say it—become almost passé to continue enjoying ramen, Flagstaff’s SoSoBa Noodle Shop gives us a reason to slurp up these tasty alkaline noodles with a local twist.

Tyler Christensen and Joshua Riesner are the duo behind this shop, coining the phrase “Booze, noodles, mic drop”—a minimalist slogan to emphasize their focus on putting out the best for their customers. But the pair is quick to say they did not open a ramen shop. Far different from the typical late night selections, SoSoBa does not mess around with their menu composition. The chefs’ culinary abilities have led to serving up noodle bowls that destroy an appetite, delight the palate, or simply to sober up after a night at Flagstaff’s downtown bars.

It is with constant trial and error that SoSoBa works around the clock to make only the best meal for its customers.

Both Christensen and Riesner’s approach to this veteran ingredient is rather unorthodox.

It is with purpose that the shop is “unapologetically inauthentic.” There is much unexplored territory between that of traditional ramen and its convenience store counterpart; it is SoSoBa’s goal to spin any noodle every which way they can.

“Ramen is very regional and lots of people come in and say, ‘Hey, you should do this kind of bowl,’ and that’s just a particular style for a particular town. This [menu] is what we’re doing for Flagstaff. We’re here to create our own style of ramen,” says Christensen.

They certainly do flaunt their style in the most vivacious of ways. And they’ve taken suggestions from customers, plus added their 18

own spin, to create the Ramen Radio program.

In effect since August 3, each Monday of the month showcases a style of ramen popular within a different Japanese prefecture. To complement the dish, the chefs work up a crafty cocktail and dessert, recently pairing with CaskWerks Distilling Co. in Tempe to add flare and local flavor.

All of their menu items illustrate a wide spectrum of their talents: from the Mic Drop with udon noodles and heavy dose of pork, to the vegetarian Mothra with soba noodles, broccoli, fried tofu and a chili-green curry glaze. Their appetizers are certainly nothing

to scoff at either. Pork and homemade kimchi tostadas, fried cauliflower with curry aioli and pork belly ssäm are big enough to make meals themselves. But their heavy work comes into crafting the massive noodle bowls that create their namesake.

“While the menu is built from traditional ramen, we don’t hold ourselves to that. We’ve been to a couple of noodle shops to check things out and they were strict: noodle, broth and protein. Then followed with a bunch of add-ons. It’s like being nickel-and-dimed to build a good bowl and you’ll get to a $12 bowl no matter what,” says Christensen.

Despite all the work Riesner and Christensen put into perfecting their menu, they make even the most miraculously tasty bowls extremely affordable, especially during happy hour, also known around town as “halfy hour.”

Of course, this certainly should not dissuade anyone from visiting during any and all business hours.

As downtown Flagstaff opened doors to even more bars and eateries, SoSoBa continues to pave their unusual path with cooperation rather than competition.

“I’ve never really seen anyone as competition. It’s community over competition. People

are always concerned, especially in a market like this, that there are too many bars and too many restaurants. I always argue that there’s always room for more, as long as you’re doing something differently,” says Christensen.

In this spirit, SoSoBa is set to open yet more doors for the gastronomically minded public. On November 14, the restaurateurs will open a separate concept right next door to the existing location. That same day, Noodle Gras will take over the square to celebrate SoSoBa’s one-year anniversary. A two-story Volkswagen bus named “Walter” will host DJs slinging wax while the chefs inside sling bowls during an allnight party. And in December, SoSoBa will cut the ribbon on its Phoenix location, opening in the Roosevelt Arts District.

There is a long road ahead as SoSoBa never wastes a minute to find something new and different to surprise both their regulars and first-timers.

“We have an open format at SoSoBa. The kitchen is the same way. They [the staff] will all just throw ideas back and forth. There are no bad ideas, until we tell you so. Until we try it and say, ‘That didn’t work out.’ There’s really no ego, it’s all a community effort,” says Christensen, referring to the numerous staff creations that exist on and off the menu.

While the ever-changing menu can come as a surprise for locals, Christensen and Riesner hope that it will encourage customers to open their minds and try something outside their comfort zone. With the introduction of their S.U.V. (So, Ur a Vegan) Bowl, they’ve welcomed local sources such as the Farmer’s Market and

the Flagstaff CSA to incorporate honestly sourced ingredients into their menu, often switching up the ingredients to match their seasonal occurrence.

Noodles aren’t the only thing SoSoBa has a knack for. Cocktails are a must-have in combination with any of their menu items. Christensen says that what makes their drinks so distinct are a few guidelines: “Make a solid drink, keep your ingredients clean, care about where you source things, care about what you’re putting out and make it fast.”

Many drinks are made with very few ingredients if the drink itself isn’t served neat, like their house-made limoncello—quality vodka steeped with lemons and simple syrup—that makes a tasty post-meal digestif. Their array of other drinks like the Agent Orange and Osaka Smash take the term “cocktail” to a whole new level with a combination of simple liquors and oddball ingredients such as fresh ginger and shiso, a culinary herb related to the mint family often found in Asia. Albeit simple, SoSoBa’s cocktails are just as crafted and unique as their meals.

Whether it’s to sober up or get a buzz, SoSoBa has quickly begun creating a place for itself in local dining culture, inspiring many others throughout Flagstaff to embrace noodles as a delightful dining experience with some serious bite.

SoSoBa Noodle Shop, 12 E. Rte. 66, #104, is open Sun–Wed from 11 a.m.–midnight and Thu–Sat from 11 a.m.– 2 a.m. Happy hour is from 5–6 p.m. Noodle Gras takes place Nov. 14 from 7 p.m.–2 a.m. To learn more, call 774-3471 or visit www.nonstopnoodleshop.com.

Congress had previously paid no attention to the ever-widening chasm between the rich and the rest of us, but it has recently emerged as a central issue for such Republican presidential contenders as Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio.

They are publicly lamenting the wealth gap and—by gollies—proposing solutions. Alas, though, the “solution” proposed by each of them is not to provide help for those who’ve been knocked down, but to offer aid to the same corporate elites who’ve been knocking down the middle class and holding down the poor.

Specifically, their solution is to cut taxes on corporations and the rich, do away with environmental and labor protections, and cut or privatize government programs—from Head Start to Social Security—that ordinary people count on. For example, Sen. Rubio proposes to kill the food stamp program (even though the need for it is greater than ever) and redirect that money into what he calls a subsidy for low-wage workers. Does he think we have sucker-wrappers around our heads?

By Jim Hightower

That’s not a subsidy for workers, but for low-wage employers. Why should taxpayers subsidize the poverty pay of profitable giants like McDonald’s, rather than making them pay living wages and cover their own labor costs?

I guess we should count it as progress that candidates are at least having to admit that inequality is a problem, but come on—offering the same old failed, anti-government snake oil is an insult to the American people. Jeb Bush shows how vacuous their flim-flammery is by saying that, to address the ever-widening wealth and income gap, he’ll “celebrate success and … cherish free enterprise.” Gosh, what a comfort that’ll be to America’s hardhit majority.

Bartender wisdom No Pharma, Bro

A

t the beginning of the 20th century, one of the lead doctors in combatting infectious diseases was Joseph Goldberger.

He’d taken on outbreaks of yellow fever and typhus and had found ways to control them.

The Attorney General of the United States in 1914 brought in Dr. Goldberger to fight another infectious disease (or so the conventional wisdom of the time thought), pellagra. Pellagra causes scale-like rashes, diarrhea and fouls up the mental capabilities of its victims. About 10 percent of the time it was fatal. The genius of Dr. Goldberger in tackling this disease was that he didn’t listen to the ideas of his colleagues.

He didn’t assume this was an infectious disease.

He looked at those with the disease: orphans, prisoners, share croppers/slaves. He looked at who wasn’t infected: nurses and caretakers at orphanages, prison guards, plantation owners.

The National Institute of Health has more particulars of the investigation at www.history.nih.gov/ exhibits/goldberger; however, the summary of what he observed is that the poor were afflicted while most others were not. The disease wasn’t infectious. It turned out to be related to diet. It was a nutrition problem. Orphans, prisoners, the working poor all mostly ate a corn-based diet.

Dr. Goldberger formed some test groups.

He put some people on healthier diets that included meat and vegetables, besides simply corn. The disease went away. Dr. Goldberger’s contemporaries stuck so firmly to the absolutely unsubstantiated idea that pellagra was an infectious disease that Dr. Goldberger came up with a wild counter argument. He took the snot, sweat, and other bodily fluids from pellagra victims and ingested them himself, along with volunteers from his research crew. They knew they were right and were willing to consume the snot of the “diseased” to prove that nutrition was where they should be looking. Of course Dr. Goldberger and his crew were all just fine and didn’t contract pellagra. It was nutrition after all. Eventually, Dr. Goldberger figured out that a costeffective way to enrich the diet of the poor or imprisoned. Beer came into the picture. (I’m not saying that he fed beer to the miserable orphans.) Rather, it was brewer’s yeast that became key. When brewer’s yeast was added to a person’s diet it prevented or reversed the symptoms.

By James Jay

In 1937 it was determined that the vitamin B deficiency caused the disease. Dr. Goldberger had been dead for several years before that precise diagnosis was made. But that didn’t matter as much. Dr. Goldberger’s sheer determination and boldness brought forth a cure. I’m not one to generally be nostalgic about the past, an oh I miss the good old days kind of guy. But, the sort of courage and authenticity of a healer like Dr. Goldberger certainly stands in stark contrast to the greed now rampant in the medical profession.

Recently, there’s been a big outcry about the “Pharma Bro” boy, Martin Shrekeli, who runs Turing Pharmaceuticals and who just raised by 4,000 percent the price of the drug Daraprim, which treats a life-threatening infection in patients with HIV. It doesn’t help that Pharma Bro looks like a juvenile-frat boy-date rapist in an After School Special; or like the weakling blue blood prince bringing ruin to the kingdom in a swords and sorcerers flick; or like one of the boys puking and pissing on Leroux Street during Flagstaff’s annual Tequila Sunrise. His greed and ineptitude are simply the flavor of the month in an industry that is based on greed and ineptitude. What would Pharma Bro and his boys think of Dr. Goldberger being so committed to proving that pellagra was not an infectious disease that he ingested fluids from the stricken? Would he think of it as just some frat house challenge? Could he even understand what was at stake?

It’s easy to say. They sure don’t make them like they used to. But, that would be glib. Nostalgia holds sway over our thoughts when we’re not happy with our current situation. No one dating a strong, intelligent, charismatic partner laments about the one that got away. No one working his or her dream job regrets a promotion he or she didn’t get 10 years ago. Even Pharma Bro’s greed has brought forth a champion in another drug company who has now offered the same pill for a buck just to deal harm to Pharma Bro’s malignant company. Courageous doctors, nurses and health care providers can be found toiling away in obscurity this very day. This is what matters most. May Dr. Goldberger continue to inspire us all no matter how we do our good in this little mountain town. Slainte.

The Write Now Distant in the Chuska Mountains

‌A

t the beginning of the month we launched the 20th call for entries for our monthly Flag Live writing contest, The Write Now. It’s crazy to think that we’re coming up quick on two years of this free-write! ‌As always, the contest was blind-judged by Flagstaff author Mary Sojourner, who also gave us this prompt for writers to follow: “Country road, moonless night, a car/truck is half in a ditch, one or more people are crouched at the side of the vehicle. One person’s phone glows, the only light to be seen. Have at it. Work all your senses into the writing.”

This month’s winner comes in from first-time winner Tim Peterson. Of the winning entries Sojourner writes: “#3. I found this intriguing, the language vivid and liked the Chuska images. Felt like a screenplay in its immediacy and language.”

For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll have our next prompt next week (the first issue of every month). Submissions should be received no later than 5 p.m. the following Friday (Nov. 13 for our next round). Keep the good words coming. And good luck!

Jeremy: Do you have a signal? I think my phone’s broken.

B-Bob: Yeah, I have a signal, here it is (he flips Jeremy the finger). If I had a signal, don’t you think I would be calling someone? Maybe Dr. Oz for a miracle cure for your stupidity?

Shian: When you two mooncalves are done abusing each other, let me know and maybe we can figure out what we are going to do. I need to lie down, my head really hurts.

The Void: In October the Chuska Mountains catch and hold the light of Orion as it dances between the clouds; a winter song can be heard in the tree tops and the unwary and unprepared hear voices prophesizing their doom.

B-Bob: It’s too cold to walk all the way to the highway, let’s crawl in the truck and close the windows. We can walk out in the morning.

Shian: God I’m hungry (she is startled by a chorus of coyote yips, surprisingly close). They aren’t going to come any closer are they?

Jeremy: Don’t worry, they will only attack things larger than them if they sense they are injured.

Shian: You know it’s easy to hate you.

The Void: Human life is a trifle easily ignored in the remote fastness of the Chuska Mountains …
