Beans and Rice

By Tony Norris

Teach a man to give

A

lmost 20 years ago Dr. Henry Poore sat across from me in the studio of KAFF Country 93.5 FM and allowed me to interview him about his early days in Flagstaff for the show Under Western Skies. He talked of waiting for a pack train of burros to cross Highway 89 on its way to restock a sheep camp on the peaks. He spoke of the Navajo families with horsedrawn wagons coming in from the reservation and camping in the town park for the big Pow Wows. Then he told a story about an old man living out his last days just a mile from where my home stood, who looked to the compassion of a dying country doctor to feed him through an old fashioned Flagstaff winter. Time stood still as a master storyteller held forth. Dr. Poore finished talking and I looked at the tape recorder to make sure it was rolling. It was not the first or the last time I had heard him relate an engaging tale, but I sensed there was something about this experience that was a landmark for him. I was hardly the first person to encourage him to write down his experiences to share with a wider audience and in 2006 Goose River Publishing released Lessons Remembered: Memoirs of an Audacious Country Doctor. Dr. Poore was generous enough to share this telling of “Two Men Named Charlie” from his book.

Join Dr. Poore and his wife Nina, along with his seven children and a cast of musicians and the wonderful volunteers of the free Poore Medical Clinic on Sat, Sept. 26 at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen, for the fourth annual Beans and Rice Fundraiser. Henry and the Poore Boys and the Poore Girls will reveal A Day in the Life of a Country Doctor through true stories and truer songs. There will also be a stage show, raffle for great prizes and live auction with the notorious Col. Russell Mann. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the show begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door.

‘Two Men Named Charlie’ I first saw Flagstaff in May 1962. We’d left Virginia in a Ford station wagon pulling a 26-foot Airstream trailer, looking for a low-allergy country that my wife Nina could tolerate.

We crossed Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas into New Mexico. The Continental Divide runs through New Mexico, and I declare it is uphill anyway that you go. The wind was fierce in New Mexico, and when we reached Gallup a full-blown dust storm had developed. We pushed on into Arizona and found a place to park for the night in a clearing on the side of the road.

Mind you, we had crossed some bleak desert, and we awoke to one of the biggest surprises of our lives.

We were parked in a forest of huge Ponderosa pines and in the background out of our window loomed the snow-covered San Francisco Peaks, 12,675 feet in elevation. The sky was so blue and the air was so rarified and clear that it seemed almost sinful to breathe it.

Flagstaff was nestled at the foot of that mountain, 11,000 people at that time, with a small teachers college. Our children had strep throats so I went downtown to Joe Rowe’s drugstore to buy some penicillin, but being from out of state, the druggist refused to sell me any medicine.

“I’ll call Dr. Sechrist for you,” he said.

Charlie Sechrist had come to Flagstaff in the 1920s and had practiced medicine and surgery there for many years. In 1962 Flagstaff’s economy was still dependent on the sheep and cattle industries, and one could still see horses tied along the side streets. I was absolutely captivated by the town.

When I got back to my trailer Dr. Sechrist had already been there and the children had been given shots of penicillin. I went to his office the next morning to pay him, but he refused any money.

Shortly thereafter I did. I learned many practical things from him. For example: to build a cast of plaster of Paris was expensive, so Charlie would build a pine box to fit a broken leg, then fill it with a mixture of grass, clay and water (adobe!), bake

it in the sun and he had a good, inexpensive cast. Years later in Africa we used that same technique and I never saw an infection from it.

I soon learned that Dr. Sechrist had incurable cancer, so I took over more and more of his work. He saw all the poor people in town (and there were many) usually at no charge. A man once told me, “If you don’t want Dr. Sechrist to come to your house, you’d better not call him.”

One night Dr. Sechrist called me and asked me to go out to Doney Park to see old Charlie Rice who was sick. I got in my old Model A Ford (I still have it) and made my way to a small cabin several miles from the main road. A wizened, small, elderly man met me at the door and introduced himself. He had come to Flagstaff from Texas on a cattle drive and had homesteaded his ranch. He was almost 100 years old at the time. I treated his pneumonia and started to pack up my black bag to leave. ‘”Where’s my beans?” he asked.

“What beans?”

“Charlie Sechrist always brings me a sack of beans for the winter.” he explained.

“He didn’t mention it to me.” I replied. I went back to town and called Dr. Sechrist.

“Charlie Rice said you didn’t send him any beans.” I said.

“Goodness, I forgot it. Would you mind taking them back out there for me?”

I said I would, so he said, “Meet me at my office.” In his office was a big sack of pinto beans and a sack of rice.

There was a stack of paper bags, a scoop and a sign that said “Help Yourself.”

“What’s this?” I asked.

“That’s for my poor people.” he replied.

The snow had started to fall and the old Model A slipped and slid its way back to Charlie Rice’s cabin. I gave him his beans and on the way back to town I reflected on Charlie Sechrist’s mission in life and. his stature as a man.

When Dr. Sechrist died he had treated the people of Flagstaff for more than half a century. He had built the hospital and given it to the city, he had served on the school board and had a school named for him. His death ended a pioneer era and it was my privilege and honor to have known and worked with him.

I defy you to find a sack of beans or a sack of rice in any doctor’s office today! HMO’s and insurance just don’t cover these things.

Tony Norris is a working musician, storyteller and folklorist with a writing habit. He’s called Flagstaff home for 30-plus years.

Oh death

By Kelly Poe Wilson

I

once saw a book entitled Why Animals Like to Sleep Next to the Road (and Other Lies I Tell My Children). I’ve been thinking about that book a lot lately, because even though I never actually got around to reading it, I’m sure that it mentioned how, out of all the lies we tell our children, the ones we tell the most often are about death. Or maybe not the ones we tell most often, exactly, but certainly the ones we feel the worst about telling. Because those lies are, without a doubt, the biggest lies to ever lie.

Maybe it’s because when you lie about death you can never be quite certain that you’re actually lying. I mean, what do we really know about death on a personal level? Nothing.

We can’t say the same thing about the other lies we tell. Take Christmas, for example. We’ve put enough presents under the tree ourselves to be absolutely sure that if we skip it one time Santa Claus isn’t going to come and do it for us. And at some point we’ve probably all forgotten to exchange a tooth for a quarter, thereby leaving us with a similar lack of faith in the Tooth Fairy. But Death? While most all of us are unlucky enough to have experienced it tangentially, not one of us has ever experienced it personally. Because if we had, we’d be, you know, dead. And so we lie about it. A lot.

The first time I lied to my kids about death was when my son, Clyde, was three.

I promise I won’t die For some reason he was born under an unlucky star when it came to pets (or perhaps his pets were), and he had just spent the summer laying to rest two kittens and a dog. Understandably upset with this tragic turn of events, he came to me in tears and told me he didn’t ever want me to die. Sensing that this was not quite the time for the “Circle of Life” speech, I simply acquiesced, and promised him that I wouldn’t die.

Ever. Clementine, at age 8, was appalled.

“You can’t just lie to him,” she hissed.

“Eh,” I replied. “I’m playing the odds.

Chances are I won’t die before he’s old enough to deal with the truth.”

“And if you do die?”

“Then I’m a jerk.”

As it turns out, I didn’t die (although the jury is still out on the jerk thing). And Clyde

But Death? While most all of us are unlucky enough to have experienced it tangentially, not one of us has ever experienced it personally. Because if we had, we’d be, you know, dead.

And so we lie about it. A lot.

Stay Warm & Cozy with

is now old enough to handle the reality of my mortality. On an intellectual level, at least.

No one is ever really prepared to handle it on an emotional level. Except maybe 13-year-old Clementine. She was so ready at age 13 to handle my death that I think she set up some kind of dark altar in her bedroom to hasten its approach. Or that might just have been her bad housekeeping skills. Or maybe both. In any case, I probably have a misplaced, mouldering bowl of lamb’s blood and her bad Latin pronunciation to thank for my continued existence.

I’d like to think my one great big lie concerning my own death was somehow mitigated by the fact that I never lied to him about any of the other deaths he experienced that summer (I never told him any of his pets “ran away,” or “went to live on a farm”), but somehow I doubt one excuses the other. Still, one day, if I’m very lucky, he will be here and I’ll be gone, and hopefully he won’t remember the promise I made to him when he was 3.

Although, if, I’m very, very lucky, Clementine will be there, too. And I’m sure she will be all too happy to remind him.

ON THE SILK ROAD AGAIN‌

For an extra bold flavor to the local musical stew, the Horizons Concert Series is always the ticket for bringing unique world music and world-class musicians. They dial it up this week with a performance by the Vancover-based Orchid Ensemble, which brings ancient and modern fusions of Chinese musical instruments with global percussion. Their performance is called Road to Kashgar, inspired by the rich cultural heritage embodied by the ancient Silk Road. The Orchid Ensemble’s album of the same name was nominated for a JUNO Award (Canada’s Music Award). While in essence Chinese, the music is colored with the rhythms, modes and character of the many exotic lands and cultural traditions found along the Silk Road, according to information from the band. Arrangements of ancient melodies of Chinese, Indian, Jewish, Persian and Central Asian origins are performed alongside original works by Canadian composers. The Orchid Ensemble has been praised as “one of the brightest blossoms on the world music scene” for its tireless development of an innovative musical genre based on the cultural exchange between Western and Asian musicians.

The ensemble has embraced a variety of musical styles to its repertoire, ranging from the traditional and contemporary music of China, world music, and new music to jazz and creative improvisation. The energetic yet endearing performance style of the ensemble consistently intrigues and delights its audiences. The show is at 7:30 p.m. in NAU’s Ashurst Hall on campus. $20 general admission, but free for NAU students and children. 523-5661. www.nau.edu/ cto or www.orchidensemble.com.

W

e gotta be honest about this one: when we first saw the name HoneyHoney on the Coconino Center for the Arts upcoming fall music bill, we had nary a clue who they were.

What we did and still do know, however, is that most shows rolling through that intimate 300-person space are typically pretty darn swell, so we assumed it’d be something to keep an eye and ear on. And since digging into their songbook shortly thereafter, truth be told: we can’t stop listening. Here’s the scoop. The duo consists of Suzanne Santo and Ben Jaffe. He styles lead guitar and she wears the banjo and draws a bow to the violin. They both sing: his voice soft and harmonic and hers something like a smoky, sultry moonbeam. Pair all of that up with a serious DIY approach and evocative lyrics, and the result is a beautiful alt-folk sound that threads the needle of non-trad country and left-of-the-dial alt-rock, and is figuratively and literally music to our ears.

Thing is, they didn’t just show up to the party—they’ve made the rounds. The two met and started collaborating in L.A. where Jaffe wrote music for TV and film, and Santo was an actress, model and musician. After releasing their debut album, First Rodeo, in 2008, and follow-up, Billy Jack, in 2011, each on different labels, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They toured the U.S. and Europe and crafted and produced their most recent effort, 3, released in June, all on their own dime. Its dozen tracks have a darker and weightier tone that strays from previous material, but that’s definitely not a bad thing as it’s nothing short of standout album in 2015.

What we’re still not sure of, though, is if their name should be spelled HoneyHoney, Honeyhoney, or honeyhoney. But hey, the music’s really, really good, so we’ll give them our moneymoney. You should, too. Catch them at the Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N. Ft. Valley Road. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show. For more, call 779-2300 or visit www.honeyhoneyband.com.

Perhaps one of the best things that’s happened, well ... ever, is the craft brewing explosion. And one of the most notable names to come from said explosion is that of New Belgium Brewing Co. I imagine we all know who they are and have at one point or another tasted some of their craftiness. But aside from brewing up goodness at the Mothership and Thunderdome (literally the names of their brew house and bottling hall) in Fort Collins, Colo., they also brew up really great events to pair with their beer, one of which is the annual Clips Beer & Film Tour, also known as cLips of Faith, a beer-toting, film-traveling nonprofit-benefiting show that travels coast-to-coast. For some reason the tour didn’t make it through town last year. We’re pretty sure it wasn’t the result of any lewd activities going down in Thorpe Park, because they’re reeling back through with a new slate of short films created by fans and esoteric beers that are not always easy to find. Need a palate cleansing and adventure-esque cinema fix? You now know where to go. Check it out at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Doors open at 8 p.m. with a live music and a beer sampling, and the films roll at 9 p.m.

Tickets are $5 at the door. Proceeds from the event will benefit Flagstaff Biking Organization. 556-1580. www.newbelgium.com/events/clips-beer-and-film.

HotPicks mandolin, or if they slow it down a bit—they’re versatile. To date the trio has four albums to their credit: 1 Ton and 2 Ton (2010), Heavy Load (2012), and most recently 2014’s Any Way, Shape or Form, all of which are entirely unique and, again, show the band’s versatility. Did we mention that aside from being topnotch, real deal musicians, they’re also versatile? Just checking.

As one writer for Twang Nation wrote, artists cut from the same cloth have for years have been “jolting the dusty form with a furious intensity and emotional directness that would make Marcus Mumford sob into his vintage hanky.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Stomp away at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz. Tickets are $10 and the show gets going at 7 p.m. 2268669. www.benmillerband.com.

FOGGY MOUNTAIN MOSHPIT‌

You know that good ol’ Southern sound that rips through the speakers as you’re tearing down dirt roads in the backwoods or flying down the highway in the middle of the desert, windows down, free? No, we’re not talking about that latest pop-country swill; we’re talking about the Ben Miller Band. Formed back in 2005 in the humble, tornado-tested town of Joplin, Mo., this trio is the real deal when it comes to rolling and picking a clawhammer banjo, bending electric guitar, playing a homemade one-string washtub bass, and yes, Ozark stompin’. Comprised of, you guessed it, Ben Miller (lead vocalist, guitar), Scott Leeper (bass) and Doug Dicharry (percussion), the Ben Miller Band is steeped in a swath of folk, blues, bluegrass, gospel and country to create a sort of high-energy twang ‘n’ rally that really can’t be pigeonholed. But don’t be surprised if you hear horns and

Do you ever wish that you could be like the cool kids? Because all the cool kids, they seem to fit in? Well then, you’ll appreciate the hot-charting song by the band Echosmith. Their song “Cool Kids” lit up the Billboard Hot 100 and hit No. 13 on the list. The song was certified double platinum with 1.2 million sales and was Warner Brothers’ fifth-biggest-selling digital download of 2014.

And let’s face it, it’s a darn-catchy indie-pop number that can get stuck in your head and loop around for days. But Echosmith is not just about one song. Their 2013 album Talking Dreams is a fun throwback dance-rock record with tinges of ’80s pop fused into the sound. Their neo-new wave sensibilities make them comparable with the Killers, and the harmonies and tight production add to the radio-readiness of their music. The band is comprised of lead singer Sydney Sierota and her brothers Noah (bass guitar, percussion, vocals), Jamie (lead guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Graham (drums, vocals), and they hail from Chico, Calif. When was the last time you dropped in on a pure pop-powered show and let the infectiousness take you over? Why not give it a shot?

No judgment. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at NAU’s Prochnow Auditorium. General tickets are $25 and NAU and CCC students pay $15. You do not have to be one of the cool kids to attend.

SATURDAY | 9.26‌ IF YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN‌

Sure, you really can’t relive your past, but what if you could have actors play roles in those scenes from the past and watch others enact them? It works out pretty well if you think art is life and life is art. The concept of this is actually known as Playback Theatre, and it was created by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas in 1975 in upstate New York as part of the experimental theatre explorations of the 1970s. It has since spread across the world with companies and practitioners in more than 30 countries. Now, internationally acclaimed theater educator Aviva Apel-Rosenthal is bringing her unique expertise to Theatrikos for a series of workshops on Playback Theatre. The workshop series starts with Apel-Rosenthal’s Introduction to Playback Theatre from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat, Sept.

26. Participants will be led through a more in-depth training and practice from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat, Oct. 3, and from 6 to 8 p.m.

Sun, Oct. 4. The cost of the workshop is $15 for the introductory workshop and $40 for the two-day series. Discounts are available to students and others in need of them. All workshops will be held at the Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse, 11 W. Cherry.

The Bitter End

I

t doesn’t happen all that often, but occasionally writers from distant shores will send us selections of their work, kindly asking that we consider publishing them in Flag Live.

I’ve held onto a few over the years, one of which was a poem sent to me by L.A.-based award-winning Rothco Press author and poet Brian Townsley. Titled “The Bitter End,” it beautifully captures the essence of a bar that caters to dead artists and creative types with a keen focus on some of the most iconic literary figures in history. I have no clue why I never published it back when I first received it, but since it’s just so good and it’s been an especially busy week … and life, I figured I’d finally share it with the masses. I hope you relish in it as much as I did the first time I read it, and every time thereafter. Enjoy!

The neon sign below your office flickers in the deadlight dusk but the calculations always end up the same, no matter the distributor’s charges or electric bill or weekly wages— the numbers and clientele unchanging. The nautical motif

is complete with thousand pound anchors & ropes thick enough to herd the drunk dead but the strewn red & green Christmas lights add a bit of cheer to the place. The hardwood floors look wholly unacquainted with sunlight. Last night was gay American painter night, which always promises more than it delivers, although Rothko has grown a beard and colors it in stripes and Warhol’s wig is beginning to look like a blonde cousin It. There is always a lot of talking with them, an endless chatter between bathroom breaks although the graffiti they leave behind makes up for the job of cleaning it. Tonight is the carnies & you will continue your weekly game of chess with the wolfboy & his 5-legged dog. The clowns will keep to themselves in the corner booth and drink moonshine and attempt to light each other on fire. They will sing the laughter of the mutilated and finish the night in tears, each white mask glossy against the strung lights.

You have to work yourself up for tomorrow night, nothing worse than the writers at the Bitter End. F Scott & Chandler will sulk the night away with gin & tonics while McCullers will sip from her thermos & call the rest of them drunks. Hemingway & Bukowski will clear the center of the room for a fistfight, Hem screaming to Buk of real men

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

pelt him with pint glasses & shower him with beer. A writer hates nothing more than himself, you know this now. Algren & Faulkner will take the end of the bar and drink whiskey, neat, until they cannot walk.

Most of them will write childish scrawl on the bathroom walls & point to the painters’ doodlings & over them crudely draw cocks and balls. Most of them will sleep here, at home amidst the loneliness & Christmas lights. What tomorrow night makes in profits you lose in property damage. The following evening saves the month, week by week, as unemployed actor night has a line out the door, each pretty & boring face looking about to be seen, fingering some Braille of failure along the lip of the cocktail glass. They will drink whatever you claim is new & pay whatever price you ask. So there is always that. You, proprietor, owner & barman of The Bitter End, sommelier of the dead.

n my younger television-obsessed days, I discovered an actress whose husky voice and wry manner appealed to me. Costarring in a television series based on the Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy film, Adam’s Rib, the short-lived 1973 series brought Ken Howard and Blythe Danner together. Both Tony award-winning actors, the two leads left quite an impression.

I always feel like somebody’s watching me NAU International Film Series tackles monitoring and surveillance

By Adrienne Bischoff

T

2015-2016 NAU Theatre Season of great stories and timeless tales!

928-523-5661 1-888-520-7214

ouching on recent events and concerns, NAU’s latest International Film Series—presented by the College of Arts and Letters—focuses on the act of watching, offering varying perspectives across genre and culture.

On September 16, the series kicked off with the gripping documentary, Citizenfour (2014, about Edward Snowden and continues with selections from the Manhattan Short Film Festival (2004), Red Road (U.K., 2006), PlayTime (France, 1967), The Lives of Others (Germany, 2006), Brazil (U.K., 1985) and The Secret in Their Eyes (Argentina, 2006). Many of these films are cult classics or Oscar winners that have left an indelible impression on the film canon. “[Judith Costello, one of the series’ directors] originally proposed the theme of surveillance because it’s something that’s been on people’s minds lately,” explained Michael Rulon, the series’ co-director. “I suggested that we expand the theme to include watching because I think it’s an interesting and important topic for cinematic audiences— why do we watch? What happens when we watch?

Is watching really a passive activity?”

Next Wed, Sept. 30, selections from the Manhattan Short Film Festival will be screened. This festival’s entries span six continents and more than 250 cities.

On October 7, Red Road tells the story of a government employee who watches the 24-hour CCTV surveillance feeds that have become commonplace in Britain.

Series co-director Rebecca Gordon says the film speaks of “the even greater governmentmandated incursion into the private lives of British

citizens, and the envy with which the NSA, the FBI and the CIA look over the pond at MI5 and MI6 [Britain’s security and intelligence agencies].”

On October 21 is French director Jacques Tati’s comedy, PlayTime, which is as notable for its overblown budget and cinematic achievements as it is for its story looking into the lives of several people, including the recurring character Monsieur Hulot, in a futuristic Paris.

The Lives of Others, winner of the Oscar for Foreign Language Film, screens on November 4. It watches a government spy who becomes increasingly disillusioned with his job. He also happens to deliver one of the coolest last lines of any film.

Watch it for that alone.

Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, arguably the director’s best film with his signature dystopian setting and blend of pathos and humor, plays on November 18.

The series closes on December 2 with The Secret in Their Eyes, about two former co-workers who have grown obsessed over an unsolved murder.

While the series’ films aren’t relegated to government surveillance, there is an interesting historical and sociological component to those that are.

Rujon says of the relationship between surveillance and cultural history: “People in countries that have more recent experiences with oppression, occupation, and dictatorship are more likely to recognize surveillance as a serious problem.”

Whether you’re going for a history lesson, a look into another culture, or just a few laughs, this series reminds us that film is the perfect medium to examine our own interest in watching.

Masters of Brewtality Riding on the dark side of awesomeness

‌C

Serving temp?

I’d say about 48 degrees, but as it warms up, that brings out some more flavors and aromas, too.

oming from Historic Brewing Co. this month, Masters of Brewtality gave a delicious coffee porter a test ride. Aptly dubbed Singlespeed, this surprisingly light and refreshing beer went down as quick as a fixie on a sewer grate. Flag Live had a chance to sit down with Head Brewer Ryan Burac on a sunny afternoon at their eastside taproom for a sneak peak at their newest beer.

Visit Historic’s taproom at 4366 E. Huntington Drive and their bottle and barrel house south of the tracks downtown at 110 S. San Francisco. For hours and more info, call 774-0454 or visit www.historicbrewingcompany.com.

How’d you start brewing?

Homebrewing. I got my first job in Laughlin at a little brew pub out there. From there, I went to San Tan, back when it was just a little pub and now they’re the second largest brewery in the state. Then I went up to Montana to work at Big Sky, got into large scale production, and to Asheville, N.C. from there. Every place I’d been before coming here, I learned a little something different. I developed the cellar program for the Asheville Brewing Co. while they were starting to move from a brew pub into packaging. Finally, I got to come here and make my own recipes, which is both sweet and sometimes stressful.

From the brewer

How long at the brewery?

Since the beginning! I moved here about two-and-a-half years ago, and October 3 will be our two-year anniversary.

Mike Williams: What should we pair with this?

Ryan Burac: Donuts! Hell yeah! It’s a good breakfast beer.

Dessert, too. Maybe dark chocolate.

Pinky up or down?

Up, for sure!”

Cooks well with?

Beef barley soup. Especially for fall—it’s soup season. A lot of people use coffee for cooking, too, so this is good all around.

Definitely use it in bacon and eggs. Chocolate mousse, too. Ha! Brewing soundtrack?

We listen to everything from punk to country to hiphop. Since we’re brewing, something intense and fast. Hard rock, probably.

Ryan Burac, Head Brewer at Historic Brewing Co. Courtesy photo

Complimentary outdoor activity?

Rising early and going fishing. Definitely biking. That’s why we called it Singlespeed. It’s even on the logo, we’ve got a little single-speed bicycle right on it.

Your personal favorite thing about this beer?

We’re doing a nitro version of half of the batch, so we’ll get to split it up a little bit and we’ll be able to give that smoother, creamy texture to it.

Indoor?

Ping pong. It’s got all that caffeine in it, so it’ll keep the energy going.

Inspired by?

It was a collaboration with a friend of the brewery named Brad from Singlespeed Coffee Roasters in Williams.

He’s a fanatic about coffee roasting and used a blend of Sumatran and Columbia. About a 50/50 mix, then cold steeped for 24 hours. He rushed it over here where we added it in. Basically, we wanted to build a connection with some of the local businesses. We actually started this beer when we first opened on our pilot system and it got a really good response. People were loving it, but we haven’t been able to brew it large scale until now and we really like the way he blends it. They’re really smooth and have a bit of a citric flavor to them, which gives a bright character to the beer.

Worst place to drink it?

That’s a tough one … I don’t think there is a bad place to drink it. Maybe Phoenix in the summertime?

Best place to drink it?

Right here at the brewery, of course.

Ideal container?

Either a standard 16 ounce pint glass or a coffee cup 12

Do you remember the first beer that got you into craft brews?

Of course! Being from Wisconsin, Leinenkugal’s was the brand experimenting with traditional styles like German bocks that you didn’t find too often at the time That was the brand that got me into craft beer, even though it might not necessarily be a totally craft beer, it was something different. And my first job was at a liquor store that happened to be one of the best craft beer stores in the state. This was back when it was common for the macro-beers to be completely filling the liquor stores. Once in a while there’d be a broken six-pack and, of course, you couldn’t make a full six-pack, I’d have to sip one or two. Ha! Finally, our Masters of Brewtality bonus question: Is there beer in Hell?

Geesh, that’s a tough one. I can’t say for sure, but if so, it’d be macro-produced swill. If I got stuck drinking that all day eternally, it surely would be Hell.

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

Intentional ambiguity Theatrikos brings the thought-provoking Good People to the stage

‌C

ommunity theatre companies such as Theatrikos often focus on the usual crowd favorites such as Neil Simon or Tennessee Williams plays, the beloved comedies and bedroom farces, the perennial holiday classics like Miracle on 34th Street and the always-present Shakespeare. Such titles usually help keep the house full and the budget balanced. ‌However, Theatrikos has found a title or two with their main stage season where they have taken some interesting risks by bringing in fresher off-Broadway titles, such as last year’s God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza and a more risqué musical with the recent Full Monty. Going with this trend of fresher titles and more provocative theatre comes Good People, a play by David Lindsay-Abaire that debuted in 2011.

The play has elevated into a strong, potent drama that initially was nominated for two 2011 Tony Awards, one for Best Play and the other for Leading Actress in a Play. Frances McDormand, famous for such films as Fargo (1996) and Almost Famous (2000) and recently for the Emmy-winning HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge (2014). She won the 2011 Tony Award for the role.

Good People tells the story of the down and out Margie Walsh—played by Vicky Thompson, who thrilled/scared audiences with her portrayal of Nurse Ratched in 2012’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Walsh is fired from her job at a dollar store in her blue-collar Boston neighborhood.

The blow is complicated by the fact that she’s a single mother of an adult handicapped daughter.

Around the time of the termination, she crosses paths with her old high school boyfriend Mike (Glenn Hansen), who has found Kei-Amber Johnson and Glenn Hanson play couple Kate and Mike in a scene from Good People, which opens Friday at the Doris Harper-White Playhouse.

“The biggest challenge is honoring the intentional ambiguity of the script,” Bischoff says of the work on the play. “The author wants people to walk away not entirely sure what happened … We did tons of table work (digging into the character’s backstories and motives) because the author does not want to telegraph everything. So, we have the actors interpreting what happened to their characters and their history.”

She adds, “If we’ve done our job right, an audience member will walk away thinking about their own lives and what has brought them to the point in their lives at that particular moment. How much of that was luck and how much of that was your own doing?”

The cast for Good People also includes Kelly Gibbs as Dottie, Virginia Brown in the role of Jean, John LaBarbera as Stevie and Dean Benforado as the Priest. It’s the next to last main stage show before the holiday performance of A Christmas Carol.

The production also is paired with an art exhibit in the Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse lobby. It features artists from Hozhoni Foundation, an organization that helps adults with special needs. Theatrikos also is collecting perishable items for the Flagstaff Family Food Center. And the theatre company is giving two tickets a show to specific members of the community who are helping to bring positive change.

If we’ve done our job right, an audience member will walk away thinking about their own lives and what has brought them to the point in their lives at that particular moment.

Many of the names his company has booked are familiar to the music lover: Jimmy Cliff, Arlo Guthrie, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Leon Russell, David Grisman, Les Claypool, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Richie Havens, George Winston and so many more.

There were even acts like David Sedaris and Ira Glass for the literature lovers.

If there’s a big-name (and even a not-so-bigname but awesome) act coming to town, chances are good that Flagstaff-based Greenhouse Productions had something to do with it. And this month, the business turned 15 years old.

“It kind of crept up on me, quite honestly,” says owner Matt Ziegler. “I almost didn’t realize it.”

He’s come a long way.

Sept.24–30, 24–30 2015

Ziegler worked for the Black Bean (when it was downtown) for a few years after he arrived to town in the late 1990s and decided he wanted to work in a bar. He’d finished college before moving to town and received his degree in anthropology with an emphasis in ethnomusicology. After a couple of months of harassing the owners at Mogollon Brewing Co. (where the Green Room is now), he landed a job working the door, which his friends thought was funny because he didn’t physically fit the stereotype of a big, tough bouncer.

He got a shot at bartending, and the owner of the place was the one booking the musical acts appearing on the Mogollon stage, but the acts weren’t all that great in Ziegler’s estimation.

“I knew a lot about music,” Ziegler says.

“I’d been passionate about music a long time.”

So, like any good music lover, he started giving the owner advice on which acts to book. His advice led to a new job as “talent buyer” for $75 a week. His motivation: he knew he would make better tips as a bartender if he booked better acts.

The acts he booked were better, and it wasn’t long before he began landing bigger acts from farther afield—regionally and nationally.

“And then, I figured if I put some of my own money behind it, I could make some money on it,” Ziegler says.

He struck out on his own, booking bands and guaranteeing the bands a certain pay by having cover charges at the door.

“And it worked,” Ziegler says.

The shows he brought to town had the moxie to make him successful right out of the gate. The music he booked, and the scene in the city at the time, resonated with the crowds.

At first, booking bands was a side project for beer money.

“But within a couple of years, I started looking at larger acts,” Ziegler says, adding that his mainstay was booking acts into the Alley, which was formerly Monsoons, which has since gone away.

Ziegler said he didn’t really know what he was doing, and he had to figure it out as he went. He considers the process one of his biggest lessons, which is “you don’t always have to go to school to learn to do something.”

He learned it by doing it. Sure, he started off slow, made a few mistakes along the way, but he improved. He landed bands like Taj Mahal

and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

“Back in the beginning, I used to use the tagline ‘music can save the world,’” Ziegler says. “I’m not as idealistic now as I once was, but I still believe there is truth in this idea.

Music brings all kinds of people together. Music creates unity.”

GOING BIG When the Orpheum Theater opened up as a venue for musical acts in 2003, opportunities really opened up for Ziegler.

“That’s been a mainstay, where I book

most of the shows,” Ziegler says, adding that he also has booked acts into Prochnow and Ardrey auditoriums, the Coconino Center for the Arts and Green Room. He’s also expanded his repertoire to include shows in Phoenix, Tucson and even his hometown of State College, Pa. Chris Scully, a co-owner of the Orpheum, says, “Matty’s a really good buyer when it comes to bringing in events.”

Victor Wooten was Ziegler’s first national act booked for the Orpheum, Scully says, and since then he’s brought in a wide variety of shows for Flagstaff music lovers. Los Lobos, J.J Cale, Sept.24–30, 24–30,2015 2015| |flaglive.com flaglive.com Sept.

I’m not as idealistic now as I once was, but I still believe there is truth in this idea. Music brings all kinds of people together. Music creates unity.”

— MATT ZIEGLER and even Rob Zombie have come through town with Ziegler’s help.

But Ziegler’s success isn’t all about the opening of a larger venue like the Orpheum, or the Pepsi Amphitheatre, called the Pine Mountain Amphitheater when it first opened. He began building his business before the bigger venues arrived on the scene.

“He’s got an eye for talent, and he’s done a very good job of building his business,” Scully says, adding that Ziegler can turn that eye into successful events. “He’s also a genuine guy.”

Flagstaff still has many elements of a small town where people’s paths cross on a day-to-day basis. Ziegler and Scully are friends, go to each other’s kids’ birthdays, and Ziegler continues to be a part of the Orpheum family business vibe. Ziegler even bartends at the Orpheum on occasion, Scully says.

What’s the secret to Ziegler’s success, according to Scully?

“He’s kind, but, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, he’s shrewd. He’s willing to negotiate and fight for the bottom line.”

Running Greenhouse Productions has turned into Ziegler’s “total job” now. He continues to bartend a bit, but not much.

He also put in time with the Heritage Square Trust, booking free concerts for Flagstaff residents. After 12 years working for HST, he says that gig is coming to a close so he can focus 100 percent of his efforts on Greenhouse—and on his festival work.

Either six or seven years ago (he’s not quite sure), after a rough year where the shows weren’t making a lot of money, he tried his hand at creating a local event that wasn’t based entirely on a musical lineup.

From a business perspective, Ziegler says booking bands didn’t give him very much control over the supply of the product, which isn’t good.

“I had to sit around waiting for calls,” he says. “And I just wasn’t getting the calls.”

Besides, he says, Flagstaff is a “tertiary market,” considered a place by bands and their management as a place to play when they’re traveling through from one bigger market to another.

As a direct result, Hullabaloo was born.

FESTIVAL SUCCESS

With the help of partners Rand Jenkins and Hadassah Ziegler (his wife), Ziegler envisioned an event that didn’t rely just on the musical lineup. The event had to have great music, of course, but the focus would be on the event itself, a place to bring family, with activities other than listening to music. The event, which had to be geared toward creating a sense of community and be affordable for

families, would also be held to support a local nonprofit in Flagstaff.

“It has been tremendously successful,” Ziegler says, adding that last year, Hullabaloo drew 6,000 people.

Hullabaloo has also been voted by residents who read the Arizona Daily Sun and Flag Live as the “Best Annual Event or Festival.”

Ziegler also came up with the idea for BrewHaHa, an annual event in its sixth year held at the High Country Conference Center.

“It was another idea without needing to wait on calls,” Ziegler says.

The idea for BrewHaHa? “Flagstaff loves beer,” he says, smiling. And no matter that the event is held in the winter, when it seems counterintuitive to present an event to the beer-loving crowd. Residents still turn out. Last year, about 700 people attended the festival.

And last year, too, the Cornucopia Festival hit the city. It’s a fall celebration, presented by Hullabaloo, where the whole family (including Ziegler’s daughter Saoirse, 8) can come out and enjoy pie eating, a hay maze, a pumpkin patch, a Ferris wheel, a fun house, good music, vendors and, of course, beer. This year’s Cornucopia Festival, featuring tunes by Red Elvises and Grant Farn, kicks off Saturday morning at the Thorpe Park Softball Complex.

In total, the festivals Ziegler has a hand in has raised more than $60,000 for local nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity and the Flagstaff Family Food Center, Food Bank & Kitchen.

When he first started out on his quest to book bands to come to Flagstaff, Ziegler didn’t think he had a vision of becoming so enmeshed into the Flagstaff community, but it has happened.

“I just wanted to bring great bands to Flagstaff because it was so rare,” Ziegler says.

“I really wanted to see these bands come here.

I didn’t want to have to drive to Phoenix to see bands that I liked.”

He ended up building a brand, and he expanded it into what he liked to what the residents of Flagstaff liked—whether it be a Christmas show for children, or a Death Metal band from Sweden.

“It’s a dream job,” Ziegler says. “Because I love music, I’ve been able to make my living bringing bands to town. Seeing people having a good time listening to bands they love is powerful.”

Yes, it’s a job, and sometimes it sucks because of its speculative nature.

“But, by and large, working for myself and bringing music to town is really satisfying,” Ziegler says.

He took some time to think and added, “Being a part of a concert with hundreds of other people all singing along with a band can be a profoundly uplifting experience. I think the idea that music is simply entertainment really doesn’t do it justice. For me, truly good live music can join us together to create something bigger than the sum of the parts. Music can take people to a higher place.”

The second annual Cornucopia Festival starts at 10 a.m. on Sat, Sept. 26 at the Thorpe Park Softball Complex on North Thorpe Road. Tickets are $5–$35 and the festival is all ages. Another Greenhouse Productions show, L.A.-based alt-folk duo HoneyHoney, will perform at the Coconino Center for the Arts on Wed, Sept. 30 (see our Hot Pick on page 6 of this issue). For more info about Greenhouse Productions, a list of upcoming musical acts coming to Flagstaff and to purchase tickets, visit www.greenhouseproductions.net.

Fee school

Driving America’s school bus to educational hell

P

ublic education used to be, you know, public—as in: An essential societal investment for the betterment of all, paid for by all through school taxes.

In addition to privatization schemes to turn education over to corporate profiteers, public schools themselves have steadily been perverting the idea of free education into one of “fee education.” This is a product of the budget slashing frenzy imposed on our schools in the past 15 years or so

by Koch-headed, anti-public ideologues and unimaginative, acquiescent education officials.

Beset by budget cuts, too many school systems are accommodating the slashers by shifting the cost of educating America’s future from the general society to the parents of students who’re presently enrolled.

Want to play a sport, take a class trip to a museum, or participate in a debate tournament? Pay a fee. Want art, music, drama or other cultural courses? Pay a fee. Need a uniform? Pay a fee.

And now comes a new level of monetizing public education: the ubiquitous yellow school bus. Yes, just getting to and from school is increasingly being treated not as a

By Jim Hightower

necessary public service, but as a private “luxury” to be billed to the families of students. Districts in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Texas and elsewhere are charging around $400 a year per child. For the poor and the downwardly-mobile middle class that’s a real hit—yet another barrier to educational access for America’s majority. What’s next—a daily debit-card deduction for kids to enter a classroom?

If our society won’t even pay for bus rides, how’re we going to get to the future we want for our children? It’s time to reject the small-minded budget-slashers, reinvest fully in public education, and get America moving again.

The Write Now Good words in the name of peace

‌A

t the beginning of the month we launched the 19th call for entries for our monthly Flag Live writing contest, The Write Now, and we asked writers to speak about peace in recognition of the International Peace Day on Sept. 21.

The contest was once again blind-judged

by Flagstaff author Mary Sojourner, who also gave us this prompt for writers to follow: “The Dalai Lama has said, “It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.” Flagstaff’s Quaker meeting house has this quote on its sign: “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Use this beginning: I live my intentions for peace when I …”

This month we’re doing things a little different as we’ve chosen three winners: Lyn Johnson, Myles Schrag and Murvel Ray Thornton. Of the winning entries Sojourner writes: “I was struck by the edgy awareness of all three of these pieces—the knowledge that we are, in many ways, constantly personally moving toward either peace or aggression. You can’t go both ways at once.”

For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll have our next prompt next week (the first issue of every month). Submissions should be received no later than 5 p.m. the following Friday (Oct. 9 for our next round). Keep the good words coming. And good luck!

I live my intentions for peace when I do not let my belligerent teenage self come out to play. She’s the resolution-ending, “I Don’t Care,” singing, best-self-sabotaging spit of an undisciplined thing who resides in my head. Her motto is “you’re not the boss of me.” She’s as oppositional as she is stubborn and she has no problem at all with self-defeating behavior, as long as it relieves the temporary pain of the immediate moment. And she’s loud.

When things are going swimmingly, she’s nowhere to be found. When I’m playing nicely with my friends, spreading love and light to my family, reinforcing my opinions with likeminded colleagues, I can’t find her anywhere. She saves herself for the challenging times, and then surfaces swinging, spoiling for a fight.

Upper cut: Don’t you dare disagree with me. Right cross: Don’t you dare frustrate me.

Left cross: You’d better get out of my way. Left jab: I don’t like you just as much as you obviously don’t like me. Right jab: You’re wrong; I’m right. And her favorite: the sucker punch— insults. You’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re stupid. Loser.

I don’t like her very much and I’ve been trying to shake her off for years, but the thing is: she’s so darn familiar. She’s like slipping into an old pair of jeans that are stretched out in all the right places, or like slipping under the surface of a warm bath—soothing and inviting.

But I think I’ve found her vulnerable spot, her glass jaw. What she doesn’t like at all, what she just can’t comprehend, is the pause of a deep breath. What I do when I live my intentions for peace is take one good, deep breath. Occasionally it actually shuts her up.

— Submitted by Lyn Johnson Our Round 19 The Write Now Co-Winner

“I live my intentions for peace when I do other things for others,” he said.

“You can start by walking the dog after breakfast,” she said.

“I dunno if Basil qualifies … you know, as an other,” he said.

“I’m the other, you’d be doing it for me, and I’m late,” she said.

“Yes… wife of course, but other? I love you,” he said.
