LETTER FROM HOME

No ribbons required

Pageantry of colors, arts awards and beyond

‌T

he Viola Awards celebration is just around the corner and the excitement in the arts community here in Flagstaff and beyond is almost tangible. The nominations are out; I am sure many fingers are crossed. I wish all the nominees much luck and that the eyes of the judging panels are kind, and not as divisive as the Academy Awards. I believe I see one artist of color in the running: My cousin, David DawangShonto umptewa. I wish him much Begay success. David’s quality and perseverance, along with his love of vision and culture, has earned him the rights to be honored.

We all love being awarded and recognized for achievements in our chosen fields, whether it be science, spelling, athletic prowess, or in my case, fine arts. Awards are validation from our community of peers. Recognition allows and excites us to raise our own bars to another level.

I know that it allows the supporting casts to do likewise, as awards and the limelight tend to be fleeting and infrequent.

As the Viola “Beauty Pageant” approaches, I am reminded of all the ribbons and citations of acclamations I have overflowing from a 30-gallon cooler back on the Rez, enough to make several ribbon shirts.

As a kid growing up on the vast Dineh Bikeyah’ (Navajo Country), I secretly wanted to be a winner as I saw that all the boys bigger, faster and cooler than me seemed to be.

I saw crisp jeans and greased back black hair and winning smiles. I saw new boots and shiny belt buckles to my worn pants, dusty flannels and Hush Puppies. I saw my unevenly shaved head parenthesized by a pair of prominent ears in the mirror—far from a winner’s circle.

My circle of dusty friends at that age on the hardened grounds of the government schools was as uncool as I was. My social pals were introverts. The “cool” ones in the institutions were always busy impressing one another.

They missed out on the lessons of what really is the building block of real “coolness.” In that way, I’m glad I didn’t stand out in that environment. The brutal state of the Bureau of Indian Affairs schools forced me inward to survive.

The ability to access the interior corridors safe from the horrors of the time gave me so much I was not able to appreciate until much later. During this time, I did find myself with a bit of attention from my teachers and peers 4 | flaglive.com | Feb. 25-March 2, 2016

for my drawing and classwork. It was a little uncomfortable at the time.

One of the first memories of any recognition was in high school when the American Automobile Association showered me with gifts and honor for taking first place in a five state competition in a poster contest. Ironically, it occurred when I was on another one of my sabbaticals (suspensions) from school for being a “distraction to the student body,” whatever that meant, and the school asked me to come back so they could gloat. I took some of the prizes and did not give the school the

that as an omen of rejection, of doubts in my own work. I was pleasantly surprised when it started raining blue ribbons. It brought to me a deep respect and empathy for fellow artists. I ran the gamut of shows with kids in tow as they were also a prize, unlike any other. I gained the attention and respect of fellow artists as well as detractors early on.

Painting for me was never done with competing in mind. I have to satisfy me first and foremost. I also used my young children’s eyes as a guide, asking for their feedback and when I should step away from a particular work. After years of collecting more prizes and adulations, I decided to step away from that area of trying to prove my worthiness. A young man came up to me before a show at the Heard Museum in Phoenix and asked me, pleaded with me, to give him a chance to win an award. I heard him and I stepped back. He won that year. I felt like I won that year in his celebration. He thanked me. I believe and know that it takes confidence and love of work to share it and to put it out there in the glaring lights of public scrutiny. It helps put one on the art world’s radar. It can either enclose one in a comfort zone of familiarity or raise one’s own bar to bigger, better creations.

It can make you a more conscious artist engaged fully in the holy act of visualizing or an insufferable arrogant SOB. I know plenty in both camps.

Today, my prizes come in the guise of seeing a child taking pencil to paper and pouring out the content of their heart. I claim my prize in the form of letters and affirmations from some of the young artist whose dreams were awakened in some subtle way through words, images and gestures I have shared.

Today my prize is having been a mentor to those who have gone on to blaze their own paths in the art world and other callings with the sense of that holy composition we named Art Walk, Art Win by Shonto Begay Art.

Every child picks up a crayon, sometimes before they can even walk. And while some attack the living room wall like a rainbow tornado— to their parents’ chagrin—others eventually channel their artistic flare onto a canvas, a hunk of clay, or through the aperture of their very first camera. For decades, the Youth Art Exhibition has showcased the work of Flagstaff Unified grade school students. More than 350 examples of what young artists from kindergarten through high school are accomplishing in classrooms across Flagstaff will be on display. Artists diving into all forms of media for the first time will join the ranks of others who have kick started their careers in the same spot. Renowned painter Bahe Whitethorne Jr. and Sky Black, the brain behind the Sound of Flight mural, both showed their works for the first time in this exhibition—imagine the possibilities. A reception and performances at Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N. Ft. Valley Road. Runs through April 2. Free.

n the early ’80s, ska’s Third Wave hit American eardrums like a cresting tidal wave.

One of the leaders of that musical barrel roll were New York City’s the Toasters. When Robert “Bucket” Hingley relocated to the Big Apple from across the pond, he accessed the music of his homeland with the English Beat—and subsequently kicked off the Toasters in 1981, using their dance-worthy mix of calypso, jazz, swing and R&B to continually pay homage to the Beat. Since the band released Beat Up in 1983, more than half a skin (that’s more than 100 for you non-hip types), have jumped in and out of the band that still sports Hingley at the front. Tom White, Rob LaFalce, Jon Degen, Logan LaBarbera and Thaddeus Merritt have all joined on this modern incarnation in a rad show of force that always takes Flagstaff by storm. For this, we are happy. 2 Tone Lizard Kings and Nothing Add All are hopping on. Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. $10–$12. 226-8669. www.thetoasters.band.

Ten years ago, one mega-hit burst onto the scene. “King without a Crown” was equal parts catchy with soaring reggae beats, and incredibly mysterious—especially when people learned its creator is an Hasidic rapper. Matisyahu became the face of an entire culture. Born Matthew Miller, as a teen the artist rebelled against his Reconstructionist upbringing, instead following Phish on tour.

Launching his career in Oregon as MC Truth, he chose to record under his Hebrew name, and stunned audiences with his reggae- and beat boxing-infused technique that continues to deal with his heritage and changing beliefs as he creates a whirlwind of a live show around the music. He shaved his beard in 2012 and took a step from religion, but Matisyahu’s latest record, Akeda (2014), is a powerful introspective look at the multi-faceted life of an artist who bridges disparate worlds of hip-hop and orthodoxy. Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. $28–$30.

Folk legend Greg Brown took those blues and gospel influences and poetically channeled them into more than two dozen albums over the span of his half-century career. Sometimes his lyrics are downright guttural, abandoning words entirely as he loses himself in the retelling of homespun

tales. His road-ragged voice and expert handling of his guitar are as familiar with the American landscape as the shoes on his feet. Unique and earnest songwriting has earned cover performances from a slew of renowned musicians from Willie Nelson to Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Brown used to regularly appear as a musi-

cian on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” It is a rare treat to experience a man of such accomplished musicianship, and now Flagstaff is invited to once again enjoy top-shelf folk artistry.

EDITOR’S HEAD

In love and hip-hop’s legacy

‌I

n the 2007 hip-hop song “Ordinary Guys,” Blue Scholars MC Geologic sings: “The 27 year challenge of the curse/ Maybe even outlive Janice, Jimi and Kurt.”

He speaks of the 27 Club, a colloquial name that refers to a number of influential rock musicians who tragically died at age 27. Among the more notable names on the list are early blues legend Andrew Robert Johnson; the founder Wisniewski and original frontman of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones; Doors lead Jim Morrison; Amy Winehouse and as the song states: Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain.

And while many great musical minds do outlive the curse of 27, some still pass along far too young.

In 2010, six years ago this Friday, at age 36, Japanese producer Nujabes was killed in a car crash.

Nujabes might be the best hip-hop sampler/producer and DJ you’ve never heard of.

Known by his stage name—an anagram of his given name, Jun Seba—Nujabes found a home in the Japanese hip-hop community as the owner of the Shibuya, Tokyo record stores T Records and Guinness Records, and later, the founder of the independent label Hydeout Productions. However, it was his soothing, thoughtfully blended hip-hop and rap with heavy jazz that cemented him in Japanese underground hip-hop culture and beyond.

Born on Feb. 7, 1974, Nujabes first hit the Japanese music scene with the opening of his first record stores in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t until 2003 when he founded Hydeout that his legacy started to take shape. Over the course of the next two years he dropped four studio albums, Metaphorical Music (2003), Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure and Impression (2004), and Modal Soul (2005), the latter of which includes the popular tracks “Feather” and “Luv (sic.), Part 3.”

For anime fans of Samurai Champloo, Nujabes is responsible for much of the series’ background music, with the song “Battlecry” (featuring lyrics by Shing02) receiving especially high praise. A fifth album, Spiritual State, which was unfinished upon his death, was later released by his record label in 2011.

Other than Shing02, Nujabes also regularly worked with talented MCs such as Cise Starr of CYNE, Substantial, Uyama Hiroto, Terry Callier, Funky DL and CL Smooth among others.

Perhaps what’s most hypnotic about Nujabes’ music is how effortlessly all of the different instrumental pieces he incorporates come together. The term “soulful” doesn’t begin to do it justice. Each of his albums— front to back—is a vast soundscape of hiphop and jazz; turning it on is easy, the fun part is breaking it down. The beats are intricately woven together to create an emotional, atmospheric sound, and are all at once delicate and complex, yet sound so easy and simple. And like any good mind-bender constantly twisting at your brain, as you listen to the tracks over and over, your ears are likely to discover some new layer that previously went unnoticed.

Rewind. Hip-hop first found its way to Japan when musician, producer and designer Hiroshi Fujiwara was introduced to the burgeoning genre during a trip to New York City in the early 1980s. Taking American hip-hop records with him back to Japan, and subsequently becoming one of Japan’s first DJs, Fujiwara helped pave the way for many Japanese DJs and artists to come. Since, much of Japan’s hip-hop has incorporated the era’s old-school style, dance culture and fun, carefree nature.

If it wasn’t for Fujiwara, Nujabes might not exist. Two decades after hip-hop’s arrival in Japan, Nujabes stayed true to OG form as well as the many jazz sounds that preceded and influenced the genre—a facet that has been seemingly lost in much of hip-hop over the course of the early 2000s, especially in the U.S. And though he never found chart-topping success in the States, his craft was widely respected by peers and fans around the world. In the wake of his death, fellow artists did and still continue to tribute music toward Nujabes in honor and continuation of his legacy. His music even continues to inspire new producers, MCs and DJs to this day.

What he left behind wasn’t just a dense catalog of great music, but a true hip-hop legacy. An eternal flame that burns on. Listen for yourself and get lost in the beats, the beauty, the intricacy, the music.

CROWS ON CLOUDS

Broken secrets

Glass recycling and the true history of Thorpe Park

‌I

am an avid recycler. I take time to clean out recyclables for the nice people at the recycling plant. I peel the stupid plastic off of junk mail envelopes to recycle the paper. I cut myself while scouring cans of their sticky tomato goop that I forgot to rinse the night before. But glass recycling in Flagstaff is kind of a mess. I have a huge cardboard box in my backseat with glass that clinks as I drive, reminding me

By Kristen Edge to go to one of the two places I Kristen know there is glass recycling.

Edge I don’t want to drive to south campus through a long parking lot to drop off glass. I’m lazy. But never fear, I have found a new place we can all deposit our glass that may be closer and more convenient: Thorpe Park.

Towering trees, groomed paths, a nice community, and a difficult Frisbee golf course (for me) all combined to make my first time at Thorpe

LOVE

Park memorable. That and the glass shards paving my way through the 18 holes. I remember walking through the first few holes, wondering why the city decided to use broken glass bottles as mulch on the paths, but as my drives got worse—as they always do—I realized the glass was everywhere. Shattered behind the rock I had to climb over to get my wayward disc, nestled next to the flowers by a big pine tree that held my disc captive, reflecting light in my eyes as I searched for a neon disc that should have been easier to find—the glass pieces were everywhere.

Most bits had labels peeling off just enough to show some favorites like Fat Tire and Stella. I came to an understanding about Flagstaff—these people liked their beer, and they recycled glass at the local Frisbee golf course! It all made so much sense. Why didn’t more people do this?

You don’t need to send your glass elsewhere, just throw it on the ground hard enough and voila!

Instant mulch. Obviously everyone should wear shoes while playing Frisbee golf. If you are a lit-

tle hippy and go barefoot—and I use the term “hippy” lovingly because I aspire to that status by the time I turn 70—that’s on you.

But it wasn’t meant to be. While talking about this recycling revelation with a friend, he explained some theories. I have not gone into the city records to fact check these stories, so I cannot tell you which is most truthful, but bear with me. The first and least plausible one is that Thorpe Park used to be a dump that they converted into a park. Doesn’t sound likely to me.

Have you seen the trees and awesomeness there?

Definitely wasn’t a dump. The second possibility, which he subscribed to, is that the area was a cordoned off “camp” in the ‘70s. I thought that was silliness as well because most of the glass pieces and labels still looked pretty intact. Granted, I also don’t know the chemicals and glues they use for those labels or how long they last. The friend ended by saying that the scant glass recycling bins we do have in Flagstaff are sent to Phoenix to be processed and then the processed materials

LOVE

taken to Mexico to be used for Corona bottles. (It all comes back to beer doesn’t it?). “So is it really worth it to even recycle glass in the first place?” our friend asked my husband and I. Is it really worth it to recycle? I have mini scars on my hands from cleaning those stinkin’ cans, and he was making me rethink each one of them!

Making me rethink one of my most beloved First World problems. In the end, is it better to continue to harvest and ship and manufacture silica for glass or to send reused glass across the border? I’ll take my recycling any day. And I still play Frisbee golf at Thorpe Park. If you find my discs, please return them. There have been many lost in battle. As far as the glass goes, I think it gives Thorpe an Edge.

Kristen Edge is currently pursuing her Masters of Rhetoric degree at NAU. She has taught high school English, been a social worker, and struggled with yoga and Krav Maga; however, naps and excellent books are what she likes most of all.‌

Throw me the statue Our film reviewers hand out their annual Oscar picks

By Dan Stoffel, Erin Shelley, Sam Mossman and Adrienne Bischoff The 88th Annual Academy Awards celebration airs Sunday night. Will there be hours of inane chatter on the red carpet? Certainly! Will winners fake surprise while congratulating the ones who lost in the same category? Probably! Will those same losers force smiles while internally seething about the loss? You betcha! Here, your intrepid Flag Live critics have revealed our predictions of those losers. Hint: The losers are the ones with the empty boxes in our grid. And the empty places in their hearts.

Best Picture The Big Short Bridge of Spies Brooklyn Mad Max: Fury Road Sam The Martian The Revenant Dan Room Spotlight Adrienne, Erin

Best Director

COMMENTS Adrienne: I just can’t get enough of newsroom procedurals. Ruffalo was also in my fave procedural, Zodiac; he just makes any movie better. Director Tom McCarthy wisely avoided sensationalizing a very disturbing subject with this restrained piece.

Dan: I’ve yet to catch two of this year’s nominees, but The Revenant blew me away. Though slight on plot and dialogue, it’s a beautiful, immersive work of cinema. Kudos to the Academy for including Mad Max: Fury Road!

Erin: I had some favorites this year (Room and Mad Max: Fury Road), but I bet it is between The Revenant and Spotlight. At the time the Academy was voting, Spotlight was favored, but if voting ended yesterday, The Revenant gets it.

Sam: I’d really love to see Fury Road take home the Oscar this year. I feel like it is a longshot, but that’s fine, I like to root for the underdog anyway.

Best Actor Bryan Cranston, Trumbo Matt Damon, The Martian Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

Best Actress Adrienne, Dan, Erin, Sam

COMMENTS Adrienne: I don’t want DiCaprio to win, but everyone seems to believe the other half of the Titanic couple is due his own Oscar. Can’t we just retroactively give him one for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?

Dan: DiCaprio is overdue, but that’s not the reason he should win this year. He is a force of nature in The Revenant, a film in which he has plenty of nature with which to compete.

Erin: It’s Leo’s to lose. He’s overdue, the movie is a success, and none of the other nominees are earning the kudos needed to get the little gold statue.

Sam: The short version here is that DiCaprio is overdue for an Oscar. The longer version involves him just being a fantastic actor and giving a great performance in The Revenant.

Adam McKay, The Big Short Sam George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road Dan, Erin Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant Lenny Abrahamson, Room Adrienne Tom McCarthy, Spotlight COMMENTS Adrienne: I wish McCarthy had also directed The Big Short; he surely would have avoided McKay’s storytelling gimmicks. McCarthy took a shocking subject and accurately portrayed the unglamorous drudgery that fought it.

Dan: Will Iñárritu go back-to-back after Birdman? I think so, and I can’t wait to see what he puts his cast and crew through next.

Erin: Though it would be wonderful for Miller to earn an Oscar for a Mad Max movie, Iñárritu is the more likely winner for Best Director. He won last year for Birdman, so what a coup to win two years in a row.

Sam: Once again I think I’m putting my bet on a longshot here, but Miller deserves some recognition. Not just for bringing us some of the best breakneck action in recent memory, but also reminding us that there are many different ways to tell a compelling story.

COMMENTS Adrienne: Everyone has been speaking highly of Rampling’s performance and how she’s long overdue for the golden statuette. But Larson will provide tough competition as a young mother, held hostage by her kidnapper in Room.

Dan: I thought Larson was a star in the making on Showtime’s United States of Tara. I was right! And though I love J-Law, I hope she doesn’t win for anything-but Joy. Erin: Larson’s performance in Room has earned a majority of the love in all of the other guild and critic awards. Rampling could surprise in this category, as voters may desire to honor her long career in film.

Sam: Everything Lawrence touches seems to turn to gold, so I’ll go ahead and give her my Oscar pick again this year.

Best Supporting Actor Christian Bale, The Big Short

Adrienne, Sam Tom Hardy, The Revenant Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies Dan, Erin Sylvester Stallone, Creed COMMENTS Adrienne: Ruffalo and Bale were woefully underused in their respective films. Bale is the best actor out there. But Hardy is closing in on him. He stole every scene with pretty boy DiCaprio in The Revenant.

Dan: Stallone was fine in Creed, but I think this year, nobody else in the category stood out quite enough to eclipse the novelty of an award some 40 years after he was nominated for the same part.

Erin: I’ll go with the sentimental favorite. Stallone first played Rocky Balboa in 1976, and how fun that he wins an Oscar for playing Rocky again almost 40 years later. Ruffalo or Rylance would be the only actors to take it away from Stallone.

Sam: Hardy has been showing off his range in recent years and without having a thorough knowledge of this year’s supporting actor performances, I’m going to back him for an Oscar win.

COMMENTS Adrienne: I’d like this award to go towards a complex performance. So McAdams and Leigh are out. And Winslet’s already won. That leaves Vikander and Mara and I’ve heard better things about Carol.

Dan: I’ll claim ignorance in this category; I only saw Leigh and Winslet’s performances, and while Leigh was a hoot in The Hateful Eight, she wasn’t given enough to do. So there Winslet … it’s all yours.

Erin: Mara and Vikander were not supporting roles, but leading roles, so let’s hope an actual supporting performance wins. I’ll go with Winslet, as she won the Golden Globe for her role in Steve Jobs.

Sam: Quentin Tarantino makes good movies, and if Leigh is the only cast member getting nominated for The Hateful Eight, then she’s getting my pick for the award this year.

Best Animated Feature Film Anomalisa

Boy and the World Inside Out Shaun the Sheep Movie When Marnie Was There

Adrienne, Dan

Erin, Sam

COMMENTS Adrienne: Charlie Kaufman did Anomalisa. ‘Nuff said. But seriously, when you consider the work that went into creating frighteningly realistic stop-motion 3D characters, there’s no competition. And, again for the record, Inside Out was a disappointment.

Dan: Inside Out seems to have captured the market on feels this year, though if Academy members are into puppet sex, Anomalisa could just pull out an upset. Plus, Charlie Kaufman.

Erin: Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa has earned lots of critical acclaim, but Inside Out is going to win. I mean I just have to think of Bing Bong’s sacrifice and I’m teary eyed. I bet a lot of the Academy voters feel the same.

Sam: Normally I’d prefer to see a smaller more intimate film win the award than the latest Disney/Pixar blockbuster. Still, Inside Out was a great film with a solid premise and is likely to walk away with this Oscar.

GENERAL COMMENTS Adrienne: I had to graciously accept defeat last year when my homie Richard Linklater lost out to Alejandro Iñárritu. I won’t do it again. The Revenant is everything I hate about the outdoors: it’s cold, it’s dangerous, and has Leonardo DiCaprio enjoying French cries with his wahburger. Spotlight tells a true story that needed to be told and remembered. Even after newspapers go the way of the rotary phone, thankfully, we’ll still have movies.

Dan: Did he just say “puppet sex?” Though suffering from a well-publicized lack of racial diversity (and I look forward to Chris Rock’s take on that), this year’s Oscars do feature a pretty varied collection of films in terms of subject matter and style. Still, I don’t have much of a dog in this hunt; Leonardo DiCaprio is the only one I’m really pulling for. Not since Anthony Hopkins won for The Silence of the Lambs in 1991 have I rooted so strongly for a liver eater.

Erin: The year 2015 was a decent one for movies. There were so many good films and performances that many of the Oscar races are competitive.

Still, no single movie earned my passion to win all of the awards. I like seeing new winners, so am cheering on Brie Larson for Room. I’m also a sucker for an old-timer like Stallone winning again. And I’m hoping for Inside Out to win—just think of Bing Bong.

Sam: It’s Oscar time again, and once again I basically have no idea what I am doing. There are a number of films here that I haven’t seen yet, and really I never seem to have much intuition about who the winners will be anyway. So this year I just through caution to the wind and voted for my favorites.

Who cares about the housing bubble or cold war politics? Not me, I’ll take breakneck car chases across apocalyptic wastelands any day of the week.

Masters of Brewtality

Chuga-chuga, choo-choo with Beaver Street Brew brew Mike Williams

O

ur featured beer this month is the classic R&R Oatmeal Stout courtesy of Beaver Street Brewery. This delicious drink recently took home grand prize for the category at the internationally renowned Great American Beer Fest in Denver, Colo., impressively beating out a whopping 73 other entries. “Masters of Brewtality” had the pleasure of sitting down with Brewmaster Steve Hendricks to discuss this sinfully imbibable brew. Enjoy!

The breakdown

Brewery: Beaver Street Brewery Name of brewer: Steve Hendricks Beer name: R&R Oatmeal Stout Type of hops used: Williamette Type of yeast used: 1056 California Ale Yeast Type of malt: 2 Row, Specialty grains, Chocolate, Roasted Barley, Black Malt, Wheat, Rolled oats ABV: 6.1% IBU: 70

From the brewer

Mike Williams: What should we pair with this beer?

Steve Hendricks: You could pair any heavier item that’s also got a robust flavor.

Anything too light, like a salad or something like that, this beer will overpower it. You’re going to want to balance it out since there’s a lot of flavor complexity going on. And, as it warms, the flavors are going to change with more notes, like chocolate, coming out. If you did a steak with mushrooms in a brown sauce to go with it, that’d really compliment well with the back and forth flavors.

I’ll grab a little 8-ounce glass of the mash-in—we call it a Brewer’s Breakfast—and just sip and chew on that. It’s absolutely delicious. There’s no alcohol in it yet, so it’s just like a sweet, roasty oatmeal.

Serving temp?

46–48 degrees. From there, it’ll get a little bit warmer and more of the complexities will come out. If it comes in too cold, you’ll be done with it before you get all the flavors.

How’d you get started brewing?

I started out working in restaurants then I went to culinary school at Baltimore International Culinary Institute. Studied a bit in Ireland, but, the whole time I was going through culinary school, I was homebrewing to feed myself beer. When I moved out to Flagstaff, there weren’t a whole lot of chef opportunities.

I was an executive sous chef at a Marriott back east and tried to transfer out here, but we didn’t have a kitchen at the Marriott in Flag. So, I was working the kitchen circuit, local restaurants and stuff, and got on at Beaver Street with Evan Hanseth. He was needing an assistant brewer and graciously let me come in and do an apprenticeship. I worked for him for about three years until he was ready to stop being the actual brewer when he wanted to step back and get more into management. Honestly, I wasn’t quite ready to run a brewery yet, so he let me go over to Mogollon Brewing. I was there for 13 years. It was a good time over at Mogollon ... Really got all my drinking out of the way over there—there’s plenty of days and weeks I just don’t remember (laughs). But, every brewer’s got to get that out of his system. Then, I came back to Beaver Street about two-and-a-half years ago. Here we are!

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

There has to be. There’ll be a lot of brewers down there, so I’d imagine any kind you’d want.

Masters of Brewtality is a 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. We just completed our first cycle of breweries, which means we’ll start the process again, this time with a fresh batch of more-focused questions: On tap next month: Historic Brewing Co.

MUSIC

Band finale Them Savages to play two more shows, then it’s so long Douglas McDaniel

‌T

he world has changed a lot since the Flagstaff duo Them Savages formed eight years ago. George W. Bush was still president, the economy was on the verge of collapse, music news was dominated by dinosaur band tours by Led Zeppelin and the Police, and the place the members of Them Savages met, at Kay Bee Toys at the Flagstaff Mall, still existed.

In the time since then, Ben Velazco and Josh Begay have discovered their mutual interest in the California hardcore band Life Long Tragedy, and a musical mission formed to become Them Savages.

After playing every venue in town, and building a local following, as well as going on a couple of tours along the West Coast, the duo is calling it quits. But they are going out with a bang. On Friday the group, consisting of the drummer, Velazco, as lead singer, and guitarist Begay, will perform at two separate venues in final blowout performances.

The next day Velazco is getting married. And eventually the bandmates will be moving away from Flagstaff, going in different directions, with Velazco moving to Washington and Begay going to California. So Friday night’s last two performances at the Fire Creek Coffee Co. and Mia’s are a kind of pre-wedding, pre-next-life ritual.

“I’m getting married on Saturday and moving up to Washington, and Josh is going to California,” Velazco says. “We don’t even look at it like we are breaking up. There’s always the possibility of us playing together again somewhere down the road.”

They started out slowly with the vague idea of wanting to become some kind of thrash metal band. However, they evolved into a drum-and-guitar act with a rootsy, high-energy indie folk and blues outfit driven by Velazco’s powerful vocals. With Begay providing acoustic and electric guitar, Velazco simultaneously provided various sounds on the drums to fill it all out.

“We were looking for something heavier, more emotional,” Velazco says. “We originally thought we would bring in a bass drummer and get a drum kit and be a bigger band. But we ended up with it just being us two with guitar and drums, and with the equipment we had, it became a kind of weird, unique thing.”

One of the noticeable aspects of their performances is Velazco’s multi-tasking on the drums and vocals. He stands a big drum on the floor and then with each hand uses different forms of percussion such as congas and shakers, also using all parts of the main drum for alternate sounds. As he’s doing this, he sings with a shouting, soulful style which he describes as “blown out of proportion on purpose.”

“I never get bored up there.”

Them Savages have pursued a type of indie-acoustic take on punk with a few DIY releases and a full-length recording available at Bandcamp.com called Church Songs. On that latter effort, the song “Sun & Sea” explains it all: Squander all your coins from the wishing well An oasis of riches in your poor hell It’s a beggar’s life you can’t take any longer You want the satin on your back but no more hunger Indeed, it would be hard to find a more truthful testimony to life as a fledgling musician in Flagstaff, or anywhere else, for that matter.

The crowd-favorite track on Church Songs is the song “Pretty Little Thief,” a catchy acoustic tune where Velazco sings: Lay me in your bed These rattling bones are noisy in my head, but the flowers you nailed to the wall still bloom in my eyes even in the fall So keep me in your head ‘cause you’re the reason mine’s clear Why the anger inside me is dead You’re why it’s dead

Velazco believes he developed his vocal style after listening to his parents’ soul music. He would definitely be a first-round draft choice for some future band in need of a frontman.

“I always liked emotional music, and tried to push my voice and not to do too much damage to it,” he says. Combined with his drum duties, “I just try to go into a trance and try not to actually think about it.”

In Washington Velazco will be joining friends for another band called Coach.

“We will be taking that [the band, Coach] more seriously up there,” he says. “I don’t think I’ll stop playing music.”

But before new lives in Washington and California happen, Them Savages, a group as old as the Obama administration, have one more night on the stage in Flagstaff. It will give the band members and fans a chance to celebrate the musical diversity of the area and how they contributed to the local underground music scene. They’ve amassed an indelible following to the extent that it would be difficult to nail down a person who’s been in this town as long, and has not been touched in some respect by the band forever and lovingly called “Them Savs.”

“I’ve been joking about it, that it’s going to be a bachelor party night,” Velazco says. “It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be different.”

Them Savages will play an acoustic set at Firecreek Coffee Co., 22 E. Rte. 66, at 8 p.m. with Ms. Moody and Barrels. $5 cover at the door. They will then move to Mia’s Lounge, 26 S. San Francisco, where they, along with Barrels, will play an electric set leading up to the CD release party for the Heebie Jeebies. The show starts at 9 p.m. and is free.

Reckoning Force Masterful women of craft brew spill it

By Diandra Markgraf

A

n ocean of thirsty women and a handful of men belly up to the State Bar in search of libations both dramatic and traditional.

Sours, double-hopped Imperials, floral-spiked flavors and bourbonlaced brews of every golden and chocolate hue cascade from taps beneath decorative handles. Suds firmly sailing atop glass-contained seas, the satiated patrons cozy up in front of the assembled panel of nine women. They’re the faces; they thrive behind the scenes.

They’re the builders, and the brewers—the bada** crafters of an industry Flagstaff craves.

Lacey Collins, Kristen Ewer, Winnie Hanseth, Sherrill Kennelly, Alissa Marquess, Elisa McDonald, Larami Sandlin, Christina Wolfe and Audra Yamamoto populate the panel of female movers and shakers in the local craft beer movement. More women in the biz, like Historic’s co-owner/founder Carole Kennelly and sales specialist Jodi Keogh, organized this female representation of Arizona’s 70-plus breweries at the Arizona Beer Week edition of Girl’s Pint Out. Arranged shoulder to shoulder, fittingly amid dozens of artworks largely depicting the female form, they discuss their experiences as women in craft beer, and unite in representation of the women across Flagstaff and the world who helped build this movement through taps, time and talent.

State bar co-owner and moderator Eva Rupert directs one of her first questions to Yamamoto, the owner and manager of Granite Mountain Brewing Co. in Prescott, as she posits, “How do you define success?” Yamamoto’s examples sum the spirit of a professional in a budding industry.

She says, “… Some days success is not having a meltdown right before a service.

I think, tying it back to being a woman in this business, there’ a lot of pressure.

There’s a lot of pressure on management of just everything we do, which isn’t as easy as we think.”

By women, for all Kennelly and her team have created a bulging events roster since the brewery’s start almost three years ago, and she says to institute GPO in Flagstaff was a natural progression. The national non-profit is determined to cultivate a community of craft beer-loving women, but also encourages community betterment.

The evening’s events at the State Bar host a barrage of silent auction and raffle donations from businesses across Flagstaff, plus $1 from Historic’s pints donated in support of Northland Family Help Center.

“We know there are a lot of women who enjoy craft beer, but a lot of these events feel very male-dominated,” Kennelly shares with Flag Live. “We started a series of events that are really catered toward women, and create a place where women feel comfortable and confident to come and learn and talk about beer or just kick back and enjoy a beer with some girlfriends.”

Feb. 25-March 2, 2016 | flaglive.com | 17

From the very first GPO event at Historic’s taproom less than a year ago—a cupcake and beer-pairing party with about 75 people packed in attendance— the events have grown to at least once a month. On April 14, Mother Road Brewing Co. will host “Fashionable Flights,” which pairs MRB tastings with a clothing swap collecting donations for Sharon Manor women’s shelter.

“We always say men are welcome.

But some of the events have been catered toward—I hate to say—stereotypical activities that women would be more into,” Kennelly adds.

And in this industry built on creativity and innovation, stereotypes play an integral role in its creation and evolution. Beer itself has historically been marketed as a man’s drink to the extent one would swear beer bottles contain pure testosterone. And yet, each one of these women represent a facet of an industry— from marketing to brewing—long assigned to the opposite sex.

Naturally, women in the industry are not a new phenomenon. New Belgium Brewery’s co-founder, Kim Jordan, was one of the first female CEOs in the field.

Established in 1991, New Belgium has blossomed into the third-largest craft beer company in the nation. Through the local lens, a handful of women have played integral roles into transforming Arizona into a craft brew destination.

Some have been in the game for decades. Winnie Hanseth who, with her husband and former head brewer Evan, formed Beaver Street Brewery 22 years ago, and later established Lumberyard Brewing Company. Others are just starting out, like Sandlin who represents the newest addition in the growing Flagbased brew roster, Dark Sky Brewing Co. The Southside saw continued beerfueled renovations with Mother Road Brewing Co. in 2011. Alissa and Michael Marquess poured their savings into the former Mikes Pike-centered laundry, and have since taken their brews across state lines into New Mexico.

These marriages in life and business have proved their respective companies and craft beer at large would not look at all the same without these partnerships that play off one another’s strengths.

Other women on the panel attribute the success of their personal careers to support from their employers.

Christina Wolfe is the assistant brewer at Wanderlust Brewing Co., which opened in October of 2013. With a master’s degree in special education, the assistant brewer explains she worked in schools for 12 years, but was running out of steam to provide her students, herself and family with the energy they deserved.

Nathan Friedman, owner and head brewer of Wanderlust, took to social media to fill the assistant brewer spot in December 2013, and a close friend perhaps not so subtly reposted the listing to Wolfe’s account. That was enough encouragement to send off her resumé, she says, and in turn was pleased to learn she was such an eligible candidate.

“Making the plunge was a challenge, but as I reflected on what I wanted, making many lists of pros and cons, I came to realize that the craft brewing world is fueled by creativity and passion; two things I value and seek out in my life,” Wolfe adds. “These components are the driving force behind higher thought and forward progress for the human species— yes I believe craft beer is furthering us to become better and more advanced people!"

Taking charge But it is not without hardships that women in the industry have grown successful. Kennelly explains she’s always been a go-getter despite obstacles, and to happy taste buds across Arizona, she’s exerted her creativity in marketing and beyond. Still, perceived male authority is evident at festivals and other events where she happens to be standing next to a man.

“Every person that would come up to ask about our beer would immediately just direct all questions to him. I kept saying … I can answer those questions for you,” Kennelly says of her experience vending next to a friend and volunteer at the recent Arizona Strong Beer Festival. “There’s always an assumption that if I’m a female working a beer event I’m volunteering or I was hired because other alcohol industries use the female form to sell their product.

We don’t do that … I think it’s engrained in our society to think, oh this woman obviously wouldn’t be one of the founders

of this company; she’s just volunteering at this festival. I get a little bit insulted with that, but it’s also something where you can’t fight the fight every day.”

And that’s where a fine line is drawn in the sand. In a sentiment another panel member echoed, Kennelly explains she can’t be too pushy. When derogatory terms are lobbed, she prefers the term authoritative. “The positive adjectives that would be associated with a man with that personality type are not necessarily associated with women in the same role. I have to be careful a little bit. I don’t want to have that reputation of oh Carole, she’s such a you-know-what.”

During the panel discussion, Rupert addresses sexism in the male-dominated industry. Historic’s barrel-aged program leader, Kristen Ewer, got her start at the famed Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware.

She expresses her luck as a female to not have had to deal with sexism other than the presumption of her lifting abilities— and cleaning up after the brew dudes.

Others like Marquess say doubt is most obvious at meetings when she’s standing next to her husband. And while

her skills in the business stretch beyond communication and marketing, they operate as a team. But every now and again, she will stick out her hand instead, and see if someone shakes it.

“Certainly not everyone. I just have to go back to here’s what I do well in our business, I know this to be true, and I need to perform well and use those strengths as best I can and just be satisfied inside and say I can’t force somebody to change their thoughts. And you know what?” she pauses. “Heck, I own a brewery.”

Tamping doubt In fact, as Rupert questions the panel about internal struggles in the business, many women agree their female cohorts are a major source of intimidation, which pressures these professionals to prove their own worth. During the recent allfemale collaboration brew, Marquess admits she wasn’t exactly looking forward to the process involving a room full of women—until she learned many of the participants shared her sentiment. And now the She’s So Hop Red IPA benefitting

the American Heart Association is a tapped testament to collaboration.

Ultimately, Sherrill Kennelly expresses this creativity is what attracted her to this business in the first place. In the same vein, Wolfe speaks to owning this journey—one of learning and excitement that brings a million differing personalities to the table. “I love the opportunity to celebrate our differences and celebrate our successes. And whether that recognition is provided or not, people are going to think what they think. In the end I just feel excited about participating in what we’re doing here in craft beer.”

With a laugh, she adds, “And I don’t have a beard and still make beer. It’s amazing how that works.”

Many panelists acknowledge tamping the doubt from within starts in that same place. McDonald, owner of Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe, explains women in this industry ascended the ranks on their own accord, and illustrates the importance of education beyond looks. “I think so often women are pitted against each other in the business world when we should

actually hold each other up and support each other because we’re a reckoning force.”

As for the language that dominates the taproom, Kennelly shares a common situation when someone will admit they’re not a big fan of the sudsy stuff.

“Can you get me a girly beer, the girliest beer you have?” the would-be patron will say. And in a playful maneuver that speaks volumes, Kennelly asks her staff for the strongest, boldest, bourbon barrel-aged brew on tap.

“Even though I know that’s not the type of beer they’re asking for, it’s the fact they asked for a girly beer. It’s like well here’s the most feminine beer we have, and it’s gonna punch you in the face.

That’s just our way we get around it and laugh about it amongst ourselves,” she says. “And also, you can’t take yourself too seriously. After all, it’s just beer.”

Unless, of course, you happen to be a global corporate peddler of rockets, drones, bombs, and all the other hellish weaponry of military conflict. In that case, war is literally “manna from hell.” So bring it on! Indeed, it seems as if Beelzebub himself is in charge these days, with U.S. military forces enmeshed in at least 135 countries in 2015 Jim alone. Plus, such chicken Hightower hawks as Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are maniacally beating their flabby chests and screeching for even more military adventurism.

This perpetual warmongering is music to the ears of the CEOs and big investors of the war machine, for it means a windfall of perpetual profits for them. In a rare admission of their war-profiteering ethic, a group of major military contractors spoke late last year about how splendid war is.

In leaked tapes of speeches at a wealthy investors conference top weapon makers exulted about the spreading horror of ISIS and escalating wars in the Middle East and Africa.

Hailing the rising conflict in Syria and

Turkey, for example, a Lockheed Martin honcho enchanted the potential investors with the happy news that Lockheed’s profits would enjoy “an intangible lift because of the dynamics of that [war’s] environment and [sales] of our products in [that] theater.” Raytheon’s CEO chimed in that his corporation was upbeat because of “a significant uptick for defense solutions across the board in multiple countries in the Middle East.” And all of these masters of war celebrated the joyous news that Congress had just delivered a $607 billion dollar budget to the Pentagon—meaning more sales and more profit for war investors. “We think we did very well,” exclaimed one.

Many go to war and die, but a few go to war and thrive. So, see, it balances out.

The Write Now Wordsmithing at work

‌A

t the beginning of the month we launched the 23rd call for entries for our monthly Flag Live writing contest, The Write Now, and for the first time ever, we were blanked. That’s right, a goose egg in the entries column. But that’s OK. We went out on a limb, calling on age 18 writers only, and it came back to bite us.

So, for this month our humble judge, author Mary Sojourner, has kindly offered up one of her many maps on How to Write. We hope there’s something of value that carries from her words to yours, and we look forward to hearing from you next month.

For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll be back with a new prompt next week (the first issue of every month). Submissions should be received no later 5 p.m. on March 18 for our next round. Keep the good words coming. And good luck!

of sage and lavender; scarlet flowers whose names I didn’t know, and a tiny white one, no bigger than a sequin, growing alone from a rock.

Less than 30 minutes from our meeting with the man who found the Ghost Flowers, I couldn’t see globe mallow, prickly pear, or the last shimmer of sunset. I was deep in my mind, deep in conversation with the ghost gone over. I set my foot on a small boulder.

It rolled backwards. I was thrown forward to the ground. For six months, pain hollowed me out. I became a ghost. Slowly, far more slowly than the desert blossoms after rain, I reoccupied my shell. I made myself feel hope by remembering that somewhere in a 10-mile loop of dirt road in the Kofa, two Ghost Flowers might someday bloom again and I might move again over the desert to find them.

Eleven months late, I sat on red sandI finished my reading at a Southwestern stone. I looked down at a pool in Red Tank Writers’ Conference. I had spoken about Draw in the Verde Valley, opened my field crippling pain from a hiking fall and seeing notes and wrote: a dust cloud from the Gobi Desert turn the sun moon-silver over the Black Rock DesThe sun is a platinum disc trapped in a web ert and how a volcanic out-cropping seen of dark branches on the surface of the water. against sunset can become figures from a A breeze moves over us.

I remember looking down into what dience raised her hand. “Could you please had once been an arm of Glen Canyon and tell us,” she said, “your writing process?” seeing five feet below our boat, the tangled I abhor the word “process” almost as branches of drowned cottonwoods.

Here, the small wind is steady. The sun’s much as I do the word “issues,” but her eyes had that “I gotta know the secret” look, so I halo trembles. Clouds soften what lies above. softened my voice and said, “Which one?” What lies mirrored on the water—a platinum Here is one of the ways the writing and I disc webbed in black and haloed by vaporous work when we work: At the intersection of a blue, pink and green—might be the mouth of dirt road and wash near Horse Tanks in the a passageway into not knowing.

For at least a century, say I was a para-botanist, but there is only cows s*** upstream. Transformation is not one of me.” always glorious.

His joke had made perfect sense to me.

A friend walked toward me—he was a I’d spent days chasing a ghost in my mind, carpenter and wood carver. He watched a ghost I had begun to suspect was, as the the world for how it is put together, for Buddhists say, gate, gate, paragate—gone, connections, where they might fracture, gone, gone to the other shore. where they might hold. He had walked west We three talked in the heart of pure cor- along the creek. “The water disappears and poreal. Everything was in bloom, globe mal- returns,” he said. “There is a series of pools. low an orange lantern at sunset; magenta “And this,” he held up a stalk, “what is this?” prickly pear blossoms, as many as five on The stem rose up through the middle a cactus paddle; desert lavender, smelling of an arrowhead-shaped leaf. There were

tiny dried seed husks springing from the top of the stem. The leaf was mottled green and wine-red, the seed husk cinnabar. “I don’t know what it is,” I said. “I’ve seen it before. I’ll find out.” I thought of my friends Ilse, the wild-crafter, and Phyllis, the ethno-botanist. I thought of the internet — of human and digital networks of knowledge.

“There are new plants coming up around the dried stalks,” my friend said. “They are green and much smaller, but the stem comes right through the center of the leaf the same way.”

Later, we climbed out of the wash. What had been broken in me had steadily mended.

My feet were steady on rock and talus. I imagined joy coursing through my veins.

The desert flower that was not a ghost drew me further, on trails and currents that move over other than sand or rivers. I entered my computer and followed cairns and bubble-lines. I found a photo of a living flower with a leaf-clasped stem; I extrapolated from its vibrant green and pink to the dry stalk that stood next to the kitchen statue of Guadalupe. The website contained a phone number.

I called. When I came back from walk-

ing, there was a message on my cell phone.

“The plant on the website is Penstemon pseudospectabalis.” It occurred to me that the name was a joke, an echo of the days when surfer girls pronounced everything totally fantabulous! I Googled Penstemon pseudospectabalis and found a galaxy of photos—100 Penstemon p., all clasped by a single leaf, all bearing sprays of blossoms like magenta comets.

Now, 10 years later, that map of the world grows more complete; it will never be finished. It is shaped by para-botanists and carpenters, by damage and time and what we see when we hunt connections. It is the map of impossibility, the map of What Is. It is the map of How to Write.

I teach from that map—for those who write, those who have always wanted to write, those who have promised themselves they would write—and betrayed that promise again and again.

Mary Sojourner’s writing circle meets every Wednesday from 6–8 p.m. in Mountain Dell. For more info, as well as free weekly writing tips and exercises, visit her website at www.breakthroughwriting.net.
