LETTER FROM HOME

A wedding basket revisited

Weaving a tight union

‌I

will be attending a wedding soon back East as a guest—something I know a few things about. It is always a journey of hope, promises and pitfalls. Rather than dwelling on the latter, let me just say that I am honored to be among the throngs of well-wishers and metaphorical breezes that launch this ship of dreams. ‌I have attended many weddings out here in the West. I have even officiated a couple of them, which I am happy to say are still intact. It’s always exhausting to see how much love and labor goes into making one happen. I have been in more than my share of this beautiful mess Shonto I call my own. That being Begay said, I am happy to just be in the cheering crowd. The summer of 2010, I attended close to eight different weddings here in northern Arizona. That was quite a number. These consisted of ones very formal in context with tuxes and white gowns, and ones borne out of bohemian and organic sensibilities.

I have been to many Dineh weddings and ones inspired by that world. That is what I know: the unions blessed by blue cornmeal and the cosmic beauty of the ancient Dineh II’geh’ (wedding). We will be flying into the rising sun soon with all of these promises knowingly in our hearts. Into the east, the direction blessed by the White Shell, the vessel of truth.

This occasion also invites musings on the topic from my own world. There is much preparation for this grand occasion. As all cultures create this in their most beautiful ways with rituals, such is the case among my people. We first must know our clan system and where to put our heart and spirit attuned to the spiritual realm. There are more than 70 differing clans among the Dineh, and with this knowledge we introduce ourselves with it, placing our primary clan as who we are first. Being that we are maternal in our lineage of clan networks, my clan is Todi’chiini’ (Bitterwater), and that is who I am primarily. My father’s clan is Ashii’hi’ (Salt) and my maternal Grandfather is Dlizzi’Laani’ (Manygoats). My paternal grandfather is Tsi’na’jinni’ (Dark streaks across flesh). Knowing this, I would never fraternize lustfully within any of those networks. It is forbidden today as it was even in 4 | flaglive.com | May 5-11, 2016

The bride-to-be, she is bathed, dressed in her fineries and fussed over by her maternal elders. The blue cornmeal batter is prepared carefully and set in a woven wedding basket.

The medicine man and other paternal elders shuffle into the ceremonial Hoghaan reverently yet in merriment. The early afternoon sun kisses every face into a greasy smile.

Happiness is in the rays and in the air. The bride, adorned and shouldering a colorful blanket, awaits the groom-to-be and his entourage to arrive on horseback. “Ah’de’ o’ne,l!” someone shouts. “Here they come!”

The groom-to-be and his party arrive bearing gifts of dowries and settle into the wedding hoghaan. He too is dressed in his finery—headband or a Stetson with turquoise and a turquoise necklace and Ke’toh (ceremonial bow guard). A short procession of the bride bearing the wedding basket and food to be consumed is brought into the hoghaan and laid out on the earthen floor.

She takes her place in the western side of the sacred circle, to the left of her groom.

The hoghaan is colorful with tribal decor and decked-out guests. Everyone sits on the floor. The medicine man blesses them both at this time; beautiful prayer of perseverance and renewal. From the four directions of the wedding basket crossed with corn pollen they feed one another a dab of the blessed blue cornmeal, and one from the middle. The rest is passed to the audience who takes a dab to bless and feed themselves. A promise for them as well.

LETTERS TO DUCEY

Wolves are people, too Recovery is really a balancing act Dear Governor Ducey, When I was a kid, I loved the TV show Kids Are People Too. The program advanced the revolutionary idea that kids had brains and ideas for what they wanted, usually in the form of playing an accordion, but still, the kids had direction. Volition! I hated being told what to do. I was a righteous fifth-grader.

My best friend, Jeff Whiting—who is now a director on Broadway—and I proNicole tested boys and girls being Walker separated for everything: sports, maturation programs, lining up for recess or to sit in rows at assemblies. “This discrimination must end!” we claimed although I don’t think we used the word “discrimination” and I don’t think the justice we were looking for was entirely selfless.

Jeff and I wanted to sit by each other.

Still, we felt the injustice deeply. We wanted things to be less categorical, less divided.

I-40 is a dividing line for the Mexican Gray Wolf. None are allowed to cross it. If they do, they will be removed and taken back to “their” area in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and White Mountain Apache Reservation in the White Mountains. This wolf, one of just 97 Mexican Gray Wolves, is having a hard time reestablishing his species.

The pickings for females are low. He’s related to most of them. Confined to this

smallish space means his chances for ever being anything but a representative of a dwindling species whose genetic variation is so small that, eventually, the species will die out.

I know you hate being told what to do. I get it. So do I. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been court ordered to develop a recovery plan. You sent a letter saying you would not allow wolves to cross I-40. But the problem is that it’s not really up to you. While some people still fear and hate wolves, many others see them as amazing creatures, able to withstand near eradication, form social bonds and use elegant forms of communication to maintain those bonds. The people who love wolves aren’t in charge, either. It’s not a boy/girl, pro-wolf/ anti-wolf kind of situation. It’s a situation where the will of one side can be balanced with the will of another side.

Ranchers can be compensated for lost livestock. Farmers can be taught how

to keep wolves off their property. Some wolves may be removed or killed. But that’s the point of government: to address the needs of the many individuals and try to find a way to understand how wolves are part of the wilderness and part of what we mean by “the West.”

The principal told Jeff and me that we would have to abide by the boy and girl divisions, but he didn’t dismiss our concerns. He explained that it’s just an easy way to organize the class and get students to quiet down. Our gender didn’t really matter in the line. In fact, he whispered, if you plan ahead, you can line up so you’re right next to each other. We weren’t thrilled. We’d still sometimes be divided by what was to us as arbitrary a distinction as a freeway running through Coconino County, but we took his advice and managed to line up near each other and, when we got to recess, played four-square with an uneven number of girls and boys.

The wolf, after centuries of being reviled, now enjoys a sliver of hope that his point of view will be addressed. A metaphor for the loner, the alpha, the killer has morphed into a metaphor for the family man, the communicator, the wild order itself. The idea that wilderness can live beside civilization, can in fact make us be more civil, is a revolutionary idea that isn’t really that revolutionary. People and wolves have lived together for a very long time. Supposedly, humans are smart.

They should be able to stand in two lines peacefully next to each other.

But, my fear is, like the way you have defied the order by the court to pay the schools the amount of money they are owed, you will defy the order, if it comes, to allow the wolf on this side of I-40. My fear, like the way you want state trust land to give the schools money that is already owned by the schools in place of money you already owe them, is that you will sell the land upon which the wolf is meant to recover and kill two wolves with one stone. No land. No wolves. No justice.

Phoenix-based Fayuca has been making waves with their sultry rock ‘n’ roll fusion pretty much since their start in 2005. The fivepiece Latin-reggae mixture tours relentlessly, which is rad for us who enjoy a great show—and trust, these shows are more like experiences for the fist-pumpers in all of us. Hard work has landed their music on stages all across the South by Southwest, from the tiny YouTube screen to the big ol’ plasma as their all-Spanish music video for “Por Que Sequir,” off their 2013 release Barrio Sideshow, is currently in rotation on MTV. Apparently, music is sometimes a thing on that network. Either way, Fayuca’s Cumbia-infused stoner jams packed with between-the-lines messages steeped in wisdom far beyond the players’ years joins up with Black Bottom Lighters‘ Valley-based reggae and Na’an Stop out of Boulder, Colo., for a night to remember.

But— thanks to the folks at Lowell Observatory—Flagtown folk will be able to sneak a peek at another exceptional celestial event as our sun’s closest pal, Mercury, makes its way between the big star and Earth. So says Seasky.org, viewers with telescopes and the requisite solar filters will see the black mass of the planet Mercury move across the Sun’s face. This extremely rare event occurs just once every few years. The little planet fella will transit again in 2019, but the following pass won’t happen until 2039. While the best geographical spots to view this event are along the East Coast and South America, our hometown observatory has the goods to give you the best sky viewing around. Put on those solar peepers at Lowell Observatory, 1400 W. Mars Hill Road, when they open specially at 8 a.m.

The transit begins at 4:13 a.m. with sunrise at 5:27 a.m. The transit finishes at 11:42 a.m. Regular admission rates apply.

EDITOR’S HEAD

Loved to death

H

aving spent 24 of my now 31 years on this earth living here in Flagstaff, it wasn’t until 2005 that I finally made my first visit to Fossil Creek.

Some sort of egregious, I know.

It was my junior year of college, and myself and a few close friends wrapped up class and made a late exit to Strawberry where we geared up for the fivemile trek into the canyon—in the dead of night, around 10 p.m. Having never been, it was a bit of a letdown not being able to see the natural world surrounding me as I entered.

However, it was on that hike that I discovered my love for whiskey. My buddies and I passed around a bottle of Jack Daniels Andrew to see us to the bottom. I Wisniewski know, good ol’ Jack. Judge if you must. Up to that point I’d never had much of a taste for any sort of liquor, mainly because of that one time during high school when I decided it would be a grand idea to break into my parents’ liquor cabinet and try everything. Problem was, other than whiskey it was basically all liqueurs. For years I got sick at the thought of anything related. That was, up until this trip. So yeah, call it a win. But I digress.

We got to the bottom, set up camp, grubbed, took a few more sips of whiskey and called it a night. A fan of anywhere beautiful and green with a body of water that I can jump in, I was in heaven. That first day, a Friday, we pretty much had the place to ourselves—mind you, this was back when the dam was still intact.

We cliff jumped, rope swung, and hiked up and down the waterways. It was like our own private Fossil Creek. However, the next day, more people than I could count showed up. It was a mess. Just about everyone (at least where we were) was getting sloppy drunk. I’ll admit, it was fun to a point, but it wasn’t long before I was over it. The low point of the day was when some drunk kid took to the rope swing (timing off), let go too early, and slammed into the far-side rock, breaking his leg. To some it all up, on the hike out later that day, we saw another kid making his way down the trail (again, five miles) hauling a 30-pack of Coors Light on his shoulder. I’ve since found other, better, harder to get to spots.

8 | flaglive.com | May 5-11, 2016

For those who don’t know, roughly a two-hour or so drive south of town to the trailhead, Fossil Creek has long been an über-popular destination for folks to make a quick day or overnight trip, get in some trail time, take a refreshing dip in cool waters, and soak up some Vitamin D. This is no secret. It’s one of the prettiest riparian areas in the state. But because of that fact, and the relative ease of which it takes to access it, it has been overrun with hikers, campers and swimmers, bringing high traffic, negative impact, and lots of waste. Forest rangers have also been occupied with rescuing hikers unprepared to make the long hike down to the creek. As a result, as of Sun, May 1, visitors will be required to reserve permits online in order to visit the area over the summer months.

According to the Forest Service, the permit system will apply to visits between May 1 and Oct. 1. Each $6 permit will include one of the recreation area’s 148 parking spaces, and no camping will be allowed during the peak months. Additionally, six permits per person, per year, will be allowed. The hope is that it will allow the Forest Service to better manage the area. Fingers crossed.

My first thought at hearing this news earlier this week was, Great! My second, however, was how much of a bummer it is that it came to that. If there’s anything we Flagstaffians know, it’s how important it is to take care of the environment around us. But we often see the other side of that coin: take Highway 180 and the mass amounts of broken plastic sleds scattered throughout the woods at the end of a winter weekend. Both are prime examples of the uneducated or those who simply don’t care damaging our lands and leaving others to deal with it.

With Cinco de Mayo this week, I’m reminded of the time a few years back, in 2012, when local clean-up crews removed 400 pounds of waste from Oak Creek just below Midgley Bridge in the wake of partiers that day. Sadly, that number isn’t all that surprising for that area.

Going forward, and as summer nears, hopefully loving our favorite places to death doesn’t become a bigger issue. I tip my cap to the Forest Service for making the call. Had more folks respected the land and cleaned up after themselves, it would’ve been a non-issue. Simple enough.

Jail is Hell

The eye-catching Vietnamese model and Playboy (Venezuela edition) Playmate Angie Vu complained to the New York Daily News in April that her five-plus months in jail in Brooklyn have been “torture” and “cruel” because of her lack of access to beauty care. Vu is fighting extradition to France for taking her 9-year-old daughter in violation of the father’s custody claim and is locked up until a federal judge rules. Among her complaints: “turning pale” in the “harsh light”; lack of “Guerlain’s moisturizer”; inability to look at herself for months (because glass mirrors are prohibited); and “worrying: about being hit on by “lesbians” (thus causing “wrinkles”). At least, she told the reporter, she has found God in jail and passes time reading the Bible.

Questionable Judgments

Chef Mahbub Chowdhury pleaded guilty in April to food and hygiene violations in Swindon, England, Magistrates Court after inspectors found “brown fingerprints” in the kitchen at his Yeahya Flavour of Asia carry-out restaurant. Chowdhury was candid about his “cultural” habit of bypassing toilet paper and using his hand to clean himself. The plastic bottle with the fingerprints, Chowdbury said, contained water that he normally used instead of the toilet paper, and his lawyer argued that since the bottle was never actually lab-tested, the brown spots could have been “spices.”

Unclear on the Concept

Ms. Madi Barney, 20, courageously publicly reported her own rape accusation recently in Provo, Utah, and as a result has been disciplined as a student at Brigham Young University for allegedly violating the school’s “honor code.” (She is barred from withdrawing from courses or re-registering.) Whether the sex was consensual must be investigated by Provo police, but BYU officials said they had heard enough to charge Barney with the no-no of premarital sex. Critics decried the advantage BYU thus gives rapists of BYU females—since the women face the additional fear of university reprisals irrespective of the criminal case.

Latest Religious Messages

Idaho’s law protecting fundamentalist faith healers regained prominence recently in the case of Mariah Walton, 20, who was born with a routinely repairable heart defect but who received only prayer and herbs because of her parents’ religious rejection of doctors. Walton’s now-irreversible damage leaves her frail and dependent on portable oxygen, and she will likely need lung and heart transplants to survive. (Idaho and five other states immunize parents from criminal prosecution if they reject medical care on the ground of religious teachings.)

Latest From Evangelicals

Christian political activist David Barton told his “WallBuilders” radio audience recently that Disney’s anthropomorphic characters (e.g., Bambi) are simply gateways to kids’ learning Babylonian pagan worship.

Brooklyn, New York, “prophet” Yakim Manasseh Jordan told followers recently that he has arranged with God to bring people back from the dead if they—cheerfully—offer a “miracle favor cloud” of gifts as low as $1,000.

NEWS OF THE

WEIRD

James David Manning, chief pastor of the Atlah Worldwide Missionary Church in Harlem, in a recent online sermon, stepped up his usual anti-gay rhetoric, warning “sodomites” that God would soon send flames “coming out of your butthole.” (A gay and transgender support group is fundraising to buy Atlah’s building and set up a shelter.)

2006

Transportation Security Administration announced on April 27 that its screeners had confiscated 73 guns from passengers’ carry-ons—in just the previous seven days! Sixty-eight were loaded, and 27 had a round in the chamber.

Federal regulators were deliberating in April whether to stop Minnesota’s Ideal Conceal from rolling out its two-shot, .380 caliber handgun disguised as a smartphone. Several police chiefs, and two U.S. senators, have expressed alarm.

Jeffrey Grubbs, 45, was charged with two felonies in March following a school’s 4-H Club carpentry project at which he, lacking a hammer, pounded a thumbtack into wood with the butt of his loaded handgun. He subsequently realized the danger and removed the bullets.

Police Report

The Tap Inn bar in Billings, Mont., released April 11 surveillance video of the armed robbery staged by two men and a woman (still on the lam), showing two liplocked customers at the bar, lost in affectionate embrace during the entire crime, seemingly oblivious of danger. The robbers, perhaps impressed by the couple’s passion, ignored them—even while emptying the cash register just a few feet away.

Andru Jolstad, 26, was arrested on April 16 and charged with using a pry bar to break into the cash boxes of four machines at Zap’s Arcade in Mesa, Ariz.

Following citizen tips, a cop arrived to find Jolstad on his knees alongside one machine with his arm still inside. His total take from the spree was $18, and he’ll likely be sent back to prison from an earlier charge.

Police in the Augusta, Ga., suburb of Hephzibah arrested a meth-addled Ray Roye for battery and family violence against his wife in March. Roye was yelling about custody of their child, but his wife informed police they don’t have a child.

Johnnie Hurt, 38, was arrested after reportedly eating mulch from a motel’s landscaping in London, Ky., in April while missing a court-ordered drug test.

When police arrived, Hurt was found in his wildly trashed motel room.

A News of the Weird Classic (March 2012)

Each year, the town of Chumbivilcas, Peru, celebrates the new year with what to Americans might seem “Festivus”-based (from the Seinfeld TV show), but is actually drawn from Incan tradition. For “Takanakuy,” during background singing and dancing, all townspeople with grudges from the previous 12 months—men, women, children—settle them with often-bloody fistfights so that they start the New Year clean. Said one villager to a Reuters reporter in December (2011), “Everything is solved here, and afterward we are all friends.”

Save the cat!

Even though it’s dangerous, both men accept the adventure, knowing they need a change of pace. If this movie sounds formulaic and cliché to you, you are such a smart snookie-ukums!

In essence, Keanu falls victim to the sketch comedy curse: it relies too much on improv and repartee instead of a storyline.

And while Key and Peele are exceptionally talented—they show a lot of promise as naKeanu ive guys trying to act Directed by tough—with no story, Peter Atencio their set-up falls flat fast. It’s evident in the Rated R painfully slow scene in HARKINS which Rell sells Holy THEATRES S*** to Anna Faris (as Anna Faris) while Clarence stays in the getaway car, teaching the other thugs about the subtleties of George Michael. Fanboying over George Michael for 10 minutes in a movie is painful. (So is Anna Faris for that length of time.) Maybe for a short sketch it would work, but here it brings the story to a screeching halt.

And the twist at the end is nowhere near as

clever as what fans of the Key & Peele series on Comedy Central have come to expect.

Keanu was a quick way to capitalize on Key and Peele’s fame—what else could you

EXTRA BUTTER

R-rated allowances Sam Mossman eadpool made quite a splash this year. The merc with a mouth broke box office records and proved to be a favorite amongst diehard fans as well as newcomers to the franchise. The film’s high points were many, and that alone is enough to earn the film some well-deserved kudos. However, much of the post-release publicity for Deadpool revolved around the film’s R rating. ‌This is by no means the first R rated super hero movie. Kick-Ass (2010) boasted an R rating, and would have suffered heavily without its foul-mouthed heroine and a healthy dose of graphic violence.

2012’s Dredd is one of my favorite comic book translations to the big screen and I can’t imagine that movie being worth watching if it was toned down to a PG-13.

Even Marvel had its foray into R ratings before Disney took control with the Blade films and 2004’s The Punisher.

Obviously R ratings—which took shape in 1968—are not a new thing, but it seems like more and more films are wearing the rating as a badge of honor. R-rated comedies have always boasted more off color humor and as a general rule are less inhibited than their more family friendly cousins. R-rated action films don’t have to shy away from violence, and if a drama

‌D

is going to tackle any subject matter with some depth to it, it is likely to pick up the R rating as well.

Imagine if Coppala’s 1979 classic Apocalypse Now was told in a PG film format (there was no PG-13 rating at the time of its release). This year’s Oscar winners for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture were split between three R-rated films (The Revenant, Room and Spotlight). Would these films have had the same impact had they shot for a lower rating? It’s certainly possible, but it seems unlikely. While an R rating is by no means a guarantee of quality, it is an indicator that the film isn’t going to shy away from adult subject matter.

So is the R rating really a selling point?

For me it can be. It’s not so much that I want loads of foul language in films, or tons of violence, but I do want a story that can be told without limitations. I also understand that there are films that don’t need to make use of the R rating’s generous policies regarding sex, language and violence. I’m certainly not suggesting that Finding Nemo should have explicit content, or that a film should strive to artificially hit an R rating. Still, an R rating can be a sign that the filmmakers were free to tell a story in their own way, and that can be a powerful thing.

ARTS

On the Wall

ArtBox students take a trip to the hardware store Diandra Markgraf s a professional, Elisa McKnight had already established a career in education.

She founded Haven Montessori School in Flagstaff that coalesced a community molding young minds. But when she decided to shift her focus toward her painting, she found her students and their parents were excited to offer support along her new journey. ‌She also discovered support in the form of ArtBox Institute, a business training and professional development initiative from the Flagstaff Arts Council. McKnight is part of the program’s third graduating class: a group of adults plotted along various points in the curve of their artistic careers spanning multiple mediums. The 19 members found themselves working through the program for similar reasons.

Since January, students volleyed with presenters, experts in their respective fields, who offered tips for turning artists into business savants, on their way to proficiency in the undulating ways of social networking, web design and marketing all the way down to how to craft an effective press release.

And now, the latest soon-to-be graduates of ArtBox Institute will present two group exhibitions: Create. Celebrate. at Flagstaff Modern and Contemporary Gallery and Mama Terra at B.E. Yoga Center.

“We’ve been presented a harvest table,” says photographer Paula Andress, a member of Create. Celebrate., of all her class has learned.

The group also includes curator Travis Iurato and Julie Williams, founder of Humanitarian Efforts Reaching Out, the non-profit group benefitting from the event.

With the ArtBox semester winding down, now the trick, Andress says, is to choose the right implements that will best apply to each artist’s toolbox.

Ed Kabotie, a member of the Matter(s) Collective sect presenting Mama Terra, has built a multi-media career spanning decades, and has participated in similar local incubators.

Drawing from his Hopi-Tewa culture, and his father and grandfather who were both renowned Native American artists, Kabotie’s work has lent a voice inside many national exhibitions. But he is quick to say his work in jewelry, painting and music is not the product of an established artist, rather a professional creative.

“It goes by something my dad said to me to when I made the decision to be a career artist.

Photo by Diandra Markgraf He said that’s great, but there’s one thing you need to understand: Art is not a career, it’s a journey,” Kabotie remembers. “It became acknowledging, at least for myself, that art is a journey, and there’s a lot of aspects to that journey. Art can define you. It can be an exploration of your reaction and your walk through the world and your own personal character

development. As far as me getting into ArtBox, that’s all part of the journey.”

Though Kabotie will not show visual art with Mama Terra, he will present musically at the exhibition opening, and explains ArtBox offered professional tips applicable to all of his creative endeavors.

“You develop your own set of tools as you’re

moving along in this journey of art, at least for myself,” Kabotie says. “I’ve been working hard for a long time, but I still need all of those tools regardless of exposure and that type of thing.

I think ArtBox has given me a lot of reminders and pointers, and in some cases some very specific ideas about how you can implement them on your own.”

Painter Nancy Ruby has settled in with the Create. Celebrate. group. Her ethereal landscapes and abstractions also have been featured in large-scale exhibitions. But what brought Ruby to ArtBox was the need for professional guidance in how to further her work in the world.

“I have had some success with showing and gallery representation, but still it has been a mystery to me,” she says. “I was flying blindly and was inconsistent, waiting for the perfect gallery to swoop me up and present me to the world. ArtBox has filled in the blanks and beyond.”

She explains the high-quality presentations regarding writing, finances, media presence and personal development have helped her studio work grow toward a body of work presentable to art venues. She adds, “Now I have the knowledge and support to carry through with a plan.”

At the Create. Celebrate. installation this week, each artist vocalized their appreciation for one another beyond the program that binds them, and many intend to further collaborate in the future.

“The artists I’ve met because of ArtBox really have been wind under my wings,” Ruby says. “What a professional and driven group it is. Driven to learn and to help others through their art. There have been two presentations by working professional artists that have enlightened me and highlighted the reality of how many hours and deliberate dedication to your goal are needed for this career.”

She also notes, through her own experience reinforced by the presenters, that “artists don’t retire.”

ArtBox students will open two separate gallery shows during First Friday ArtWalk on May 6. Create. Celebrate. opens at Flagstaff Modern and Contemporary Gallery, 215 S. San Francisco, from 6–8 p.m. through May 30.

Gallery hours are Thu–Sat, 11 a.m.–8 p.m.

Mama Terra opens at B.E. Yoga Center, 9 N. Leroux, from 5:30–8 p.m. Learn more about ArtBox, participants and events on Facebook and at www.flagartscouncil.org.

Le Trebuchet comes home from the school of rock w

with The Overthrow

Le Trebuchet will release their debut album, The Overthrow, on Saturday night at the Monte V.

I

n the vault that is Americana, rock ‘n’ roll remains one of the truest forms of raw freedom.

Long before we had 3.5mm jacks hooking up with AUX ports and mobile devices fit with any number of music streaming platforms synching with just about anything that’ll play a tune, we had the radio. And on the radio was good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll, traveling the country’s airwaves, grabbing young America by the ears as they cranked the volume dial up and rocked out in bedrooms and with cruiser tops down.

It is from this place guitarist Jay Meyer says Le Trebuchet’s debut album, The Overthrow, originates: “It’s [expletive] rock ‘n’ roll. It’s growing up in America listening to the radio.”

And like the new music genre that swept 1950s and ’60s America off its feet, declaring that it was here to stay and converting folk revivalists

into rock ‘n’ roll acolytes along the way, that sentiment holds true.

Today, local rock band Le Trebuchet takes firm hold of past and present.

Whether it’s their tin shack practice space in downtown’s Southside, marked inside by tapestries lit with swirling psychedelia and a bull skull with a beaded Native American belt draped around its horns eyeing and listening, or the music reverberating through the thin walls out, they mirror the groove that sprouted decades back with their own tinge of desert rock that reflects their home, the American Southwest.

“I used to do lighting for Pink Floyd, so it was a natural progression,” guitarist Jeff Nickell cheekily remarks about the lighting. He’ll also tell you that “aliens” were how the band came to be which, strangely enough, falls in line with the new album’s cover art.

May 5-11, 2016 | flaglive.com | 15

Designed by local artist Chelsea Kavanagh, the image sees two figures (Meyer and Nickell) appearing as aliens who are coming to the desert for the first time.

As for how things really took shape, Meyer and Nickell appeared in town separately five years ago. After meeting up busking on a street corner downtown, the fellow guitarists worked through a bluegrass project, Devil Dog Road, before transitioning to folk rock under the name Kingsnake. From there, Meyer and Nickell gravitated toward rock ‘n’ roll and Le Trebuchet—which in French means “too overthrow”—was born.

“It progressed from simple songwriting on acoustics to louder rock ‘n’ roll,” Meyer says.

With a rhythm section consisting of Johnny Escalante on bass and Travis Vergoth on drums, the four-piece set out and recorded The Overthrow in the basement of the Masonic Temple downtown with Jeff Lusby-Breault roughly a year-and-a-half ago. The album was tracked live over the course of four days with 80 percent of the work being completed in that period of time, and the intention of capturing “feel” at the forefront of the recording process.

“It doesn’t come off the same. It comes off sterile or too calculated,” Meyer says about the option of recording with charted material. “That’s the essence.

The 80 percent that came out in the first four days is integral to the feel of the rest of the record because the rest of everything recorded after that just floats on top, on the foundation we set.”

And that foundation is solid.

The album’s 10 tracks, designed to play through as a Side A and Side B, are filled with slow progressions, catchy guitar hooks and breakdowns that call for multiple listens.

Shortly after the album was laid down, Escalante and Vergoth parted ways due to personal reasons, leaving Meyer and Nickell without a rhythm section and an album that still needed 20 percent more

work to meet the other 80 percent in the middle. In the 14 months that followed the two mastered and fine-tuned the album, without a way to play it live, and in search of a replacement rhythm section.

“We didn’t know what we were going to do with it because we didn’t have a band,” Meyer says. “So, in the middle of all this, we’re trying to find another rhythm section and create the new incarnation. It’s not about filling a shoe … It’s about us wanting to continue playing music together, wanting to continue playing rock ‘n’ roll, and not wanting this album to go straight to the gutter before we had a chance to release it.”

Who they found was Alec Tippett (bass) and Alec Mayes (drums). And despite how Tippett jokingly says they came together via Tinder (swipe up for musicians), they are a great fit. As Meyer says about the new rhythm section, they are “animals” with a ton of talent.

“We’ve been jamming with these dudes for six months, and that’s what it is now,” Meyer says. “It changes with the people you’re playing with and this has been a great incarnation of whatever the hell this project is.”

In February, with the new lineup, and The Overthrow finally in their back pocket, Le Trebuchet followed suit to Enormodome a year ago and entered the 2016 Tiny Desk Concert Contest. Over the course of an afternoon, with direction by Rene Rivas and the help of good friends, they recorded a video for the song “Sage Filled Cigarette” from the new album, on the front desk in the lobby of the Monte Vista Hotel.

“That happened real quick,” Meyer says. “Jeff called me up and was like, ‘Hey, we’ve got a week to put a video together to submit to NPR. We just rolled down and set everything up. We had the team ready and it just happened. It’s funny, as soon as the word NPR comes up, everybody’s like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m down.’ It’s like a secret key.”

“It’s like you unlocked one of the three whistles in Mario 3,” Nickell adds, laughing.

Currently, Le Trebuchet is just one of many solid bands breathing new life into the local rock scene with a raw sound that strays away from being too polished or too packaged. Groups like Barrels, the Heebie Jeebies, Coffee Pot, Tiny Bird, Sol Drop and Four Cornered Room among others are paving the way forth.

As Meyer notes, “there’s more bands, there’s more excitement and there’s more interest right now in people going to see rock ‘n’ roll bands” in Flagstaff.

“It’s so much more different than when we started playing together three or four years ago,” Nickell adds. “It’s a good time to being doing rock music in Flagstaff. It’s the right time in the curve.”

For Le Trebuchet, the name of the game is finding a balance between joking around, having fun and when the time comes, taking care of business.

It’s about staying true to the decades of rock ‘n’ roll that got them to where they are, playing it loud, and jamming— but never going full jam band.

As Nickell says, “It’s locally sourced, organic, free-range, cage-free rock ‘n’ roll.”

Catch Le Trebuchet when they drop their debut album, The Overthrow, on Sat, May 7 at their home away from home, the Monte Vista Lounge, 100 N. San Francisco. The show is free and gets going at 9 p.m. with fellow Flag rockers Sol Drop. CDs will be for sale for the low (or high) price of ¡paywhatyouwant!

Connecting through images

Feast for Flagstaff raises awareness to the plight of the city’s homeless Larry Hendricks he photos engage the viewers and rattle and moan in the mind long after the viewing. Simply, they haunt. ‌Black and white image reveals pain, lost opportunity, sadness and, ultimately, the indomitable spirit of survival. It is art in real time, featuring all-too-familiar and human faces.

To support an annual fundraiser to help people who experience homelessness in Flagstaff, photographer Amy S. Martin has joined forces with Flagstaff Shelter Services to support “Feast for Flagstaff: One Delicious Night, A Shelter for All Seasons.”

“I love the human side of photography and being able to connect, to have empathy and compassion,” Martin says. “I think that’s powerful.”

She’s particularly drawn to people in society who are marginalized and on the fringe, people who but for circumstances and support systems, could be any one of us. Martin often pairs with nonprofits to help them connect with audiences to raise awareness of, and help fund, their causes.

“The power of connection through images can be the basis for action,” Martin says.

Ross Altenbaugh, executive director for FSS, says that all of the proceeds for Feast for Flagstaff support the shelter’s mission of providing year-round shelter for people experiencing homelessness in the city.

Last year, the inaugural Feast for Flagstaff raised more than $40,000.

“We wanted a more impactful experience and depth of connection to the issue,” Altenbaugh says. “So we wanted to have people come and remember this event in an unusual way. It’ll be a party, but with a kick.”

The photos are meant to break down stereotypes of people experiencing homelessness and to humanize so that it will move people to change their perspective, to donate or to become involved, Altenbaugh says.

“The whole point of this exercise is to have the closest interaction people can have with people in crisis,” Altenbaugh says. “It’s one thing to drive past a person sleeping on the street. It’s another to know their name and their story.”

Flagstaff Shelter Services Executive Director Ross Altenbaugh (left) with local photographer Amy S. Martin. Photo by Larry Hendricks Martin spent several months getting to know the clients at FSS and to listen to their stories in order to recreate that closeness. The result is a series of photographs and narratives that illustrate those diverse stories of being homeless in the city. The photos, suspended in the warehouse space where Feast for Flagstaff will be held, will create a backdrop to put a face on the issue.

Among those stories: A computer programmer with $100,000 in student loan debt who can’t make rent and lives in his car; veterans suffering from a variety of physical and mental maladies; people with disabilities and mental illnesses; people who are victims of domestic violence and other family issues; people with mountainous medical bills who are unable to pay for housing. The stories represent all ages. The stories also cover the entire spectrum of the experience of homelessness—from starting off without resources and without hope to the success stories of finding permanent housing.

Martin says that when she started the project at the request of Altenbaugh, she “I didn’t realize how open those experiwas worried the clients at the shelter weren’t going to be willing to share their stories. encing these hard circumstances situation would be,” Martin says. “Most wanted to But, she needn’t have worried.

Altenbaugh adds, “For most of us, to find someone interested in your story … seems totally normal. For many of these clients,

“For most of us, to find someone interested in your story … seems totally normal. For many of these clients, they don’t have a social support system to share their experiences, and that lack of social support system is a common denominator.”

— Ross Altenbaugh, Flagstaff Shelter Services Executive Director they don’t have a social support system to share their experiences, and that lack of social support system is a common denominator.”

The photos starkly show the gaps in our society where people fall, Martin says.

According to the FSS website, their mission is to provide people experiencing homelessness with “crisis stabilization and tools they need to achieve housing stability.” Access to these services is available to all, “regardless of faith, mental health or sobriety” and “FSS provides these critical services to those most likely to die on the streets tonight.” The vision of FSS is to provide “shelter tonight and housing tomorrow.”

Altenbaugh says that FSS has a total of 86 beds for men and women and gets an average of 155 people coming through the shelter doors daily, seeking meals, beds and a host of other services. Last year, the shelter documented 43,000 “points of service” that helped more than 1,500 individuals. In the last six months, 75 clients found permanent housing with the help of local social service agencies.

The shelter went from being open seasonally to being open year-round in August 2014, which requires a larger need for funds.

“We do stay full, unfortunately,” Altenbaugh says.

After the event, Martin says she will be giving back the photos and portraits to the clients.

Feast for Flagstaff will feature food and beer from some of Flagstaff’s top restaurants, caterers and breweries. Among them are: Satchmo’s, Cottage Place, Toasted Owl, SoSoBa, Abineau Lodge, Tinderbox, Bayou by You, Macy’s European Coffeehouse & Bakery, Lumberyard/Beaver Street Brewing Co., Historic Brewing Co. and Wanderlust Brewing Co. Guests to the event will also be invited to participate in a raffle for prizes like a Colorado River whitewater-rafting trip, Disneyland getaway, a Diamondbacks game and getaway in Phoenix and an iPad. Feast for Flagstaff takes place on Fri, May 6, from 6:30–10 p.m. at the Flagstaff Airpark, 3001 Shamrell Blvd. It is the same day as the First Friday ArtWalk.

Altenbaugh and Martin both recommend people take the time to swing by the Airpark for Feast for Flagstaff because it is an “offbeat” way to experience art.

Tickets are $50 each. To purchase tickets or learn more, call 225-2533 or visit www. flagshelter.org.

Aftershock Parsing the PR lies of Goldman Sachs

C

orporateSpeak is an inane language that conveys seriousness without any sincerity.

Consider this example from Goldman Sachs: “We are pleased to put these legacy matters behind us.

Since the financial crisis, we have taken significant steps to strengthen our culture, reinforce our commitment to our clients and ensure our Jim governance processes Hightower are robust.” This is Goldman’s rhetorical attempt to cleanse itself of the massive fraud it committed in selling tens of billions of dollars in worthless mortgage investments to its clients, contributing to the crash of our economy in 2008.

For its criminality, the Justice Department has now spanked Goldman Sachs with a stinging $5 billion penalty. But what lesson have the haughty banksters learned? Well, let’s parse that two-sentence Orwellian comment they issued.

First, they term their crimes “legacy matters,” which means something from the past, implying that the bad was done by some previous regime. But— hello—the top executives who oversaw and profited from that criminal enter-

prise are still there, still in charge.

Then, the PR statement refers vaguely to a “crisis,” as though it was not one the bankers caused. Next, they refer to strengthening “our culture,” rather than calling it what it was: a corporate-wide mindset of anything-goes avarice. That culture needs to be eliminated, not strengthened, replacing it with common kindergarten ethics of fair play. Finally, they assert that we should believe that their self-governance processes are now “robust.”

Ha! “Self-governance” is Wall Street’s word for freedom to steal. And if you believe a $5 billion penalty will deter them, note that Goldman and the rest are robustly lobbying Congress to kill regulations that restrain their future criminality. Watch what they do, not what they say.

COMICS

we have this year in the presidential race! I never thought Donald Trump could get the nomination, now look at him. I don’t know if Ted Cruz can catch up.

Proudly presented by the staf at

May sweet, sweet Carol never learn of the multitude of Ted-Cruz-themed products I have patented in the event he becomes the presidential nominee: The Ted Cruz Portable Punching Face®, The Ted Cruz Deluxe Cheese and Cracker Set®, the Ted Cruz Maple Leaf Shaped Canadian Wafle Iron® and the Ted Cruz Relationship-ending Face Mask®.
