Me and Mama-san
By Laura Kelly
W
hen my father died, I was 27. I went
numb and took a job in Japan as a
group leader for 10 American high
school exchange students. The job required
that I also live with a family. When our bus
pulled into the supermarket parking lot where
we were to meet our host parents, all I knew
about Yuko was that she was in her 40s, she
taught English, and she was recently widowed.
A slight woman with chin-length hair held a
sign bearing my name.
“My American daughter,” she said, as I
extended my hand.
“My Japanese mother,” I replied.
We said nothing as we busied ourselves
with my luggage. I think of us as sad and weary
animals smelling each other’s open wounds.
I was wobbly with my grief but grateful with
recognition. I had found another from the tribe
of the grieving.
Yuko’s two teenage daughters were away
for the summer, and we were alone in her
small house. Call me Mom, she said.
Mom awakened me each morning, calling my name in a feathery voice. She rolled
up my futon, fetched my slippers. She served
me breakfast of cold beans, salty fish bits
and noodles. She praised my dexterity with
chopsticks. She scolded me for my nail biting.
She washed my feet. Whatever she told me to
do, I did. Why not? I felt a grey sort of nothing
about anything.
About a month into my stay, we dressed
to go out for an afternoon of grocery shopping. As I appeared before her, ready to go,
she shook her head. Pointing to my skirt, which
was knee-length, she said, “No so good.” No
explanation from her. No rebuttal from me. I
followed her to the closet. “This OK,” she said,
choosing some pants. “And this shoes good,”
she said, selecting an alternative pair.
As I changed clothes, I felt flutters of
resentment. Emotional gas hissed through a
fissure. “Only one letter separates smothering
from mothering,” I wrote in my journal that
night. Exclamation points adorned my sentence.
About a week before I was to leave, Mom
announced a night out. It was our first; evenings

The bar had hostesses

vinyl-covered banquettes,
highballs spangled with neoncolored swizzle sticks.
A tiny stage stood in the
far corner, decorated with silver
bunting. Onstage a mike and
a podium groaning under a
songbook as thick as the Bible.
There was one on every table.
I watched as businessmen
unceremoniously ambled to the
stage, scooped the mike and
belted out a tune. No applause,
no jeering, no nothing. The
singing was sonic wallpaper.

On pointe
By Kelly Poe Wilson
W
hen my children were younger I often
used to refer to them as “mitten suppliers to the world,” and not because
they produced so many mittens. I wish that
was the case. No, the reason they earned this
particular sobriquet from me was because,
without fail, they would each lose an average
of 20 pairs of gloves or mittens every single
winter. And since, in Flagstaff, we average
about three winters a year, this is a lot. Even
buying the cheapest gloves possible didn’t
really protect me from the financial hit of
buying approximately a gross of mittens
every year.
Of course, eventually we moved past
this phase. It wasn’t that they stopped losing
gloves; it was just that I stopped caring if their
fingers were cold. When your children are in
elementary school the fact that their fingers
are blue reflects poorly on you as a parent.
When the same thing happens to them in high
school, it only reflects poorly on them, or at
least that’s what I tell myself—their teachers
probably still look at their blue fingers and
shake their collective heads at my apparent
inability to keep my offspring alive and intact.
Still, at least I don’t have to make weekly visits
to the dollar store anymore. Unfortunately,
however, that’s because the thing I now
have to replace on a weekly basis is no longer gloves.
It’s shoes. Specifically, ballet shoes.
Playing the role of ballet shoe supplier
Right about now you’re probably thinking, I didn’t even know they carried ballet shoes
at the dollar store. And you’re right to think
that, because they don’t. Not at all. Not ever.
And even if they did—even if, by some overordering catastrophe that meant the New York
City Ballet had somehow managed to misorder
to the point that all of the dollar stores in the
country were somehow flooded with a veritable barge of ballet slippers—it still wouldn’t
do me any good, because unlike gloves, which
come in “one-size-fits-all,” ballet slippers are
more size specific. And the size that is most
specifically likely to not be present is size 12,
which is what my own careless danseur, Clyde,
happens to wear.
That’s right. Size 12 ballet shoes.
You think those suckers are easy to find?
They are not. In fact, they have to be special
ordered, which means that every time he loses
You think those suckers are easy to
�ind? They are not. In fact, they have

that every time he loses a pair, I

again … and again … and again.
a pair, I have to go online and order them again
… and again … and again. And yes, I probably
would get a discount if I ordered a bunch at
once, but there are two problems with that plan.
One, I have no guarantee that Clyde will still be
wearing size 12 ballet shoes when he wakes up
in the morning (at age 13, the chances are actually quite slim), and two, if Clyde even suspects
that there is a spare pair of shoes anywhere to
be found, he will be even more careless with the
pair he has—if that is even possible.
I’ve thought about writing something on
the inside of each shoe along the lines of, “If
found, please return to …” but, again, there are
a couple of things stopping me. First, I’m not
sure I’d want to meet the kind of person who
doesn’t mind getting his face close enough to a
13-year-old boy’s ballet shoes to actually read
a phone number printed there, and second,
I’m afraid that if people find out I have a size
12-wearing ballet dancer in the house, they’ll
be waiting outside the front gate trying to snap
a photo of the giant ballerina.
Either that, or they’ll be trying to film
a video of Bigfoot in a tutu. A tutu, but no
shoes. Of course.

What’s it like to be good at every musical

he surviving members of the Grateful Dead will join Trey Anastasio (who’ll fill the spot of
the legendary Jerry Garcia) for a practice jam session in Heritage Square on Wed, April 1.
They needed a place to play before heading out on their Fare Thee Well Tour and thought,
what the heck, let’s do a free show in downtown Flagstaff. But why Flagstaff? Is it because of
the San Francisco Peaks and the freaks in the streets? Not exactly. Actually, it turns out that
Mayor Jerry “Cherry” Nabours used to play keyboards in the band back in the early ’80s. He
took over when Brent Mydland needed a little break from the road and he turned to the next
best thing. Nabours was known to lay down fresh jams on the ol’ Roland MKS20, whipping the
crowd into a 50-minute noodle-armed dancing frenzy. Nabours is back on keys this time, so don’t
miss his smokin’ solos as he goes toe-to-toe with Anastasio as they rip the Square. It won’t have
a designated start time and it will go on forever. Independent local meteorologist Lee Born has
already issued a special fog advisory for the greater Flagstaff area.
“We won’t stop till we make it” ain’t a
bad choice for a life’s mantra. Yo Mama’s
Big Fat Booty Band highlights the chant
in “Juices and Berries” off their latest
release, Onward! (2013), and prove their
penchant for slathering rock ‘n’ roll with
funky flavor. Decked out in wailing keys
and shredding wah-wah guitar, all five
pieces of the Booty add their own spice
to the recipe with heavy beats, horns, a
dash of rap and a lovely bit of vocal work
from their own “Mama Funk.” For over
a decade, they’ve shared stages with
Parliament Funkadelic, Dumpstaphunk,
Bootsy Collins plus so many more. Nor
have they given up on spreading their
message through soulful jams carefully
crafted to get audiences cutting it up out
there on the dance floor. Strap on the
swanky foxy shazam and get to boogying
at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen,
with doors opening at 8 and the show
kicking off at 9 p.m. Tickets to this all-ages
gig are $10 in advance and $12 the day of

A BRIEFCASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY‌
Two matching briefcases seal the fate for a particular dinner
party centered around one Henry Perkins’ birthday. British
playwright of the farcical persuasion, Ray Cooney, tosses a
group into the throes of mistaken identity and hilarity with
his 1994 slapstick farce, Funny Money. Perkins is chillin’ on the
subway on his way home, pondering nothing in particular, and
departs with the wrong clutch. Much to his chagrin, and then
elation, he discovers his leftover chutney sandwich has morphed
into a mountain of cash he presumes is illicit drug dough, natch.
But the guy holding the sandwich fails to find the humor, and
“Mr. Big” ventures out into the London landscape to reclaim his
riches. The story devolves into a mad runaround from two cops,
one crooked and another straight, on behalf of birthday excitement and booze. Theatrikos players work their comedic best on
this gut buster at the Doris Harper-White Playhouse, 11 W.
Cherry. Fri and Sat performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday
performances start at 2 p.m. The play runs through April 12.
Tickets are $12–$19. 774-1662. www.theatrikos.com.
A few musicians from the lush land of Eugene, Ore., are on their
way to these parts to drop a bit of lyrical knowledge set to the
tune of their blend of reggae, hip-hop and good, new-fashioned
rock ‘n’ roll. All five dudes of Sol Seed work hard to pile on a
bit of uniqueness to the group’s table from instrumentation
to musical direction as supplied by didgeridoo vibrations and
hard-line keys, thought-provoking lyrics and wailing guitar
all wrapped up in synergistic emotion. Joining the
bill are the four-piece Young Creatures straight
from SXSW via L.A. These wily purveyors of
psych do well to bring a different flavor
to the scene as they combine traditional
elements with ethereal soundscapes
and killer bass riffs. From the coast to
the desert and back again, it’s been a
whirlwind for these tour animals, and
they clearly aren’t down to put a stop
to their grueling schedule yet. There’s
plenty of time for sleep after a night
at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz, with
Kill Babylon Coalition cracking open the
jams. The show is free and begins at 8 p.m.

EDITOR’SHEAD
On the importance of
taking notes
By
Andrew Wisniewski
A
couple Mondays back I was invited to
read at the Narrow Chimney Reading
Series at Uptown Pubhouse. I was honored to be asked, and wanted to make the
best use of my 20-minute time slot. Prior to
sharing my own work, I thought I would take
the opportunity to briefly pass along one of
the best pieces of knowledge about writing
I’d heard in a long time. It came from David
Sedaris, who, back at his November reading
here in Flagstaff, shared an excerpt from Ann
Patchett’s This is the Story of a Happy Marriage. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Patchett writes about the magic of
inspiration versus actually sitting down and
getting your thoughts and ideas out and onto
the page. She likens writing to learning to
play the cello. When we think of the cello,
we understand that it will require work. One
doesn’t just pick up and play the instrument
to perfection. It requires practice, and more
practice, and more practice. It’s an art. The
same is true of writing. It’s also an art, but
many people like to chalk up a lack of writing
to a lack of inspiration. Inside of the art, is
craft. She says, “Art stands on the shoulders
of craft, which means that to get to the art
you must master the craft. If you want to
write, practice writing.”
For the longest time, I waited for inspiration to strike before putting the proverbial
pen to paper. And as one might easily guess,
I didn’t write as much as I know I should have.
Since hearing and later re-reading her words,
which some part of me knew all along, I’ve
started adopting her approach. And as a
result, I write more, and better.
That night, and in the days following the
reading, I considered more about my approach
to writing, realizing another important part of
me being happy with and getting down what I
want on the page: note taking.
It seems there’s always these fleeting
moments when a brilliant idea fills the brain
and is dismissed with the hopes that it’ll come
back later, when it’s more convenient. It happens all the time. And it can be defeating.
Perhaps the idea was sparked by something seen or experienced, or perhaps it just
materialized. And for some strange reason, we
convince ourselves that we will remember it,
only to sit down and draw a blank. That idea
has left our head before we can write it out.
8
flaglive.com | March 26–April 1, 2015
We find ourselves leaning back in our chair,
staring at the wall or off in the distance,
racking our memory, wishing we had taken
the time to scribble the idea down.
As a writer, something as simple
as jotting down a quick note, no matter
how big or small, can be a huge deal.
Many great ideas are born from random
moments—if we never opened our
notebooks, they might never see the
light of day. And if they somehow do,
the finer details of the moment might be
lost forever.
With the arrival of the notepad app on
smartphones, it’s become much, much easier
to take a quick mental note and turn it into
a lasting thought. It’s clean, organized. And,
yes, while it is more convenient, it doesn’t
compare to or replace a tangible notebook.
There’s something romantic about having
that one go-to book of yellowing pages
full of notes that digital cannot replace.
Notes are circled, crossed out, underlined or
bolded. There are drawings or other random
flattened items inserted. Words are written
in print and cursive (because you wanted to
see if you still could) in an exact or no strict
pattern. The ideas that come from ink on
paper flow in a much different, easy, enjoyable fashion. The trick is always keeping it,
and a pen, by your side.
That used to be the order of things,
but somewhere along the line I stopped. So,
on the heels of my Narrow Chimney reading, as I contemplated my writing and how I
want to approach it going forward, I picked
up a new notebook. The first few pages are
now filled; the rest lay empty, waiting.
Note taking is in no way relative to
only writing, but all creative disciplines.
Life is full of grand ideas that come and
go: some ripe for execution, others destined to be erased. The fortunate possess

Curses, Foiled Again
Brian J. Byers crashed his car while driving drunk and then poured water on the
road so it would look like black ice caused the crash, according to police in Sparta,
N.J. Byers drove the car home and had a friend drive him back to the scene, where an
officer spotted Byers carrying two 5-gallon buckets back to his friend’s car after emptying them. It’s not clear how many trips back and forth Byers made with the buckets,
but the town’s public works department needed to apply half a ton of salt to make
the road safe for driving. The officer charged the friend, Alexander Zambenedetti, 20,
with drunken driving, too. (NJ.com)
David Fanuelsen, 39, and Dean Brown, 22, stole construction equipment worth
$8,000 from their employer, according to police in Key West, Fla. The boss, Stace
Valenzuela, identified the workers as the thieves because he had overheard them
planning the theft after Fanuelsen unintentionally butt-dialed him. “Talk about bumbling idiots,” Valenzuela said. (Reuters)
Bowling for Hollers
Two people in east Ukraine were injured while bowling after a player rolled a
grenade instead of a ball. The blast occurred at a restaurant that also offers duckpin
bowling, which uses a small ball without holes. Emergency services official Sergei
Ivanushkin cited the incident as the latest in a rash of accidents in the rebel-controlled
area caused by careless use of explosives. (Associated Press)
Smartphones, Dumb People
Ontario researchers announced they’ve found a link between heavy smartphone
use and lowered intelligence. The reason, their survey suggests, is that the devices
encourage lazy thinking by allowing users to solve problems with computers rather
than exercise their brains. “Decades of research has revealed that humans are eager
to avoid expending effort when problem-solving, and it seems likely that people
will increasingly use their smartphones as an extended mind,” said study co-author
Nathaniel Barr of the University of Waterloo. (United Press International)
Sheena Keynna Miller, 27, was injured after she walked in front of a freight train
while texting on her cellphone. Miller told police in Lakeland, Fla., that she didn’t
hear the train horn or see the crossing arms down when she stepped onto the tracks.
Police Sgt. Gary Gross said the locomotive tossed Miller into the air, fracturing her
arm. (Orlando Sentinel)
Homeland Insecurity
A traveler was allowed to use expedited airport security lines, even after a
security officer at the airport recognized the person as a convicted felon and former
member of a domestic terrorist group, according to the Department of Homeland
Security Inspector General’s Office. The official report said the security officer
alerted his supervisor but was told to “take no action” and let the passenger through.
(NBC News)
An investigation of a Federal Air Marshal program specialist uncovered evidence
that she was rearranging the flight schedules of air marshals to coordinate sexual
trysts. The Center for Investigative Reporting said it found that Michelle D’Antonio,
48, had apparently been using access to sensitive government databases to change
flight schedules of air marshals she was interested in dating. Federal air marshals are
assigned to commercial flights deemed “high risk” because they carry heavy fuel loads
or important passengers. More than 60 government workers face scrutiny. (MSNBC)

Irony of the Week
A fire extinguisher factory in Chicago burned down, even after 156 firefighters with 26
pieces of equipment responded to the three-alarm blaze, because they had nothing to put it
out with. Noting that firefighters couldn’t reach the flames with water, First Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles Stewart III explained that firefighters finally “had one engine feed another
engine to another engine until we got water on the fire.” (United Press International)

Degrees of Guilt
Police who spotted a pickup truck matching the description of a stolen vehicle in Destin,
Fla., reported that the only occupant, Debra Jean Mason, 58, denied stealing the vehicle. She
did admit knowing it was stolen but said, “I didn’t think it was that stolen.” (Northwest Florida

Post-Posting
Facebook announced that U.S. users can designate a “legacy contact,” who is authorized
to continue posting on their page after they die, respond to new friend requests, and update
their profile picture and cover photo. Users can also ask to have their accounts deleted after
their death, a previously unavailable option. (Associated Press)
Injudicious Behavior
When reporters spotted Flavio Roberto de Souza, the judge presiding over criminal proceedings against Eike Batista, once Brazil’s richest man, driving Batista’s confiscated Porsche,
Souza insisted, “I did not take it to use, just to look after.” He explained the police didn’t have
a safe place to protect it from exposure to sun, rain and possible damage, so he took it to a
covered parking space in the building where he lives in Rio de Janeiro. “I want the car to be
preserved in good condition,” he said. (Reuters)

When Guns Are Outlawed
When a woman pointed a gun at a bartender in La Crosse, Wis., and demanded money,
customer Jeff Steele stopped her with his Taser. The suspect, Heidi Thompson, 24, ran away
but was quickly arrested. Police also charged Steele because he didn’t have a concealed carry
permit for the Taser. “When I bought it off the Internet, it said basically that it’s legal to have
in the state of Wisconsin but didn’t go into any depth on it,” Steele explained, “so I assumed
it was legal to carry around, otherwise why would you buy one to leave it at home?” (La

Mark Rothwell was awarded the Civilian Medal for Heroism for disarming a would-be
bank robber in Portland, Ore., in 2010. “We make decisions every day,” he said at the presentation ceremony by the Portland Police Bureau. “If you want to see change in the world, you
be that change.” This February, police took Rothwell, 49, into custody for pointing a gun at
bank tellers and demanding “all your cash.” Tracking dogs led officers to an address, where
Rothwell appeared and announced, “It’s me you want. I just robbed the bank.” (Portland’s

curiosity to how they would respond, I
cued up the television show Pee-wee’s Playhouse—released this year on Netflix streaming—for my kids. A show that ran from 1986 to
1990 on CBS Saturday Morning, it premiered
a year after the Tim Burton (yes, that Tim
Burton) directed the film Pee-wee’s
Big Adventure.

watched the show with them, it all came back
to me. The secret word, the dinosaur family
that lived in the wall and the puppet band
were all there. I also spotted the late Phil Hartman playing Captain Carl and a younger, scrawnier Lawrence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis.
The Pee-wee legacy was all based on a
character that comedian Paul Reubens made

into a stage show and later an HBO special. He

kaleidoscopic with brightly colored set designs
and a number of eccentric and sometimes bombastic characters.

“In the digital world, I feel like people’s attention span
for music has shrunk significantly,” Nobel says. “They seem to
digest things better in smaller portions, and they also want to
be constantly fed—they want new music all the time.”
The businesswoman in Nobel weighed the challenges
and decided to not risk pouring incredible amounts of energy
and funds into a project that may not take, so she decided to
release two shorter EPs.
“There’s this theory I read about in this music textbook one time: you have to constantly feed your tribe,”
she explains. “I wanted to feed my tribe better, so my idea
was instead of making a 10 or 12-song full-length record, I
would split it in half and release it six months apart, so for
a year people are
getting this constant stream of
new stuff.”
The result also

and chart new territory in her writing.
“You want to be an artist, but you want to be a smart artist. And that requires you to pay attention,” she adds.
Nobel explains the most powerful tool anyone hoping
to do the same could possess is networking. She’s gathered
a full band behind her, and cleared a path for collaborative
relationships to take root. These experiences would’ve passed
her by had she not scared herself enough to leave her hometown bubble.
With a slight laugh, Nobel recalls moving to Austin
and meeting one person—her real estate agent—and
reminiscing of the terror she felt that first time on stage.
Saying yes before she was ready only became a source of
inspiration.
“So far in my life, every moment like that has proved
to be completely and utterly worth it,” Nobel says. “And the
growth I’ve experienced has been tremendous and I get closer
to the person I would like to be.”

T
he recent Poet’s
Den at the Wine
Loft boasts close to
30 people—a sizable
number on a spring
break Sunday where Flagstaff collectively feels slower
and sleepier. The subtle lighting of the room and the
spotlight accents of the stage and wine rack behind it
give the scene a sense of serenity. As the night unfolds,
it turns into a thoughtful, mindful evening of verse—a
celebration of the sublime power of words.
This particular Poet’s Den celebrates the
work of Mary Oliver, the poet of choice selected
by the host and organizer, Molly Wood. Some of
the poems are heavy. Others are transcendent.
Among the poems read by locals who take to
the stage to share them, a particularly poignant
moment arrives when Janine Kelley read the
Oliver poem “Sunrise.”
As she tells the audience, it was the last
poem she read with her husband before he
passed away—10 days before that evening she
stood at the microphone.
“You can die for it—an idea, or the world,”
Kelley speaks Oliver’s words to the room,
silenced and taking in the profoundness of the
lines. “People have done so, brilliantly, letting
their small bodies be bound to the stake,
creating an unforgettable fury of light.”
Kelley’s reading demonstrates the sheer
power poetry can have on our lives. And poem
after poem, read by each person with heart and
sincerity, carries those potent reminders of how
the right words put together in the right way can
move us.
For this reason, it is not a surprise that
Poet’s Den is another one of Flagstaff’s
successful literary events. It joins three

A Narrow Chimney reader who came in March,
Tara Ison, has three published novels—one a finalist
for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. She also is
a screenwriter. She recently released the memoir
Reeling Through Life: How I learned to Live and Die at
the Movies.
Ison shared part of the essay from that book
titled, How to Be Lolita: The Schoolgirl, the Nymphet,
the Muse, and the Inexorable Ticking Clock. She
related stories of films against dark moments
of her own childhood, such as an uncomfortable

Around the time Narrow Chimney started,
Kalif Durham and Ian Keirsey partnered to
launch Barley Rhymes, initially at Hops on Birch
downtown. Barley Rhymes was designed as a
distinctly different approach from poetry slam’s
judging and competitive nature, but with some of
the fun vibe that comes with that kind of poetic
event.
The two organizers also lent their
personalities to the evening, with Durham
Smalley and Davy Latour, who have been regulars
on the literary scene with their involvement in
Flagstaff Poetry Slam and appearances at Barley
Rhymes. Durham and Keirsey, however, remain
involved behind the scenes.
“Ryan and I both adore the traditions that
have been carried on with Barley Rhymes and we
look to continue those,” Latour says. “We’ll still
have the toast and we have been carrying on what
they called the ‘dada’ poem, where everyone writes
down a word on a piece of paper to have a poem

and has, on the second and fourth Sunday
of every month at 7:30 p.m., hosted a night
that circled around one established or iconic
poet, such as E. E. Cummings, Pablo Neruda,
T.S. Eliot or the aforementioned Oliver. At the
next event, April 12, Wood says it will be all
about the beat poets. The night is also open to
people reading other poems that inspire them
or sharing original work.
“Poet’s Den was a conceptual idea that
came to me,” Wood says. “I was having a mild
alternate with Barley Rhymes’ first and third
Sundays. It gives lit lovers something to do
every Sunday, save months with a fifth Sunday.
Though Barley Rhymes is going to experiment
with a fifth Sunday event this week.
The new event jumps into an arena that
has long hosted and celebrated Flagstaff
Poetry Slam. Now in its 15th season, it is
emceed by John Quinonez, who goes by the
stage name John Q. The slams take place every
Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Firecreek Coffee Co. on
themselves in a form that falls between
literature and performance. Quinonez said
that Slam often becomes an entry point into
literary arts.
Flagstaff Poetry Slam has kept its loyal
following and readers going for a number
of years, variations and venues. What is of
major note is that John Q’s connections in the
Slam world and his campaigning have led to
getting Flagstaff designated as the location
of the 2016 Individual World Poetry Slam.
anyone who is looking for literary news or
happening locally should like it on Facebook.
“I’m spearheading Flagstaff Literary
Mainframe,” Quinonez says. “It’s something
we’ve all talked about directly because want
to support and empower each other … We’ve
been able to come together. We all have our
specific mission statements and they don’t
combat with each other. We’re building this
movement together.”
To check out two of these events this
emotional crisis and I was on a road trip in
Colorado … I was reading these different
poems at the time and my thought was that
everyone should hear them.”
Wood, who attended Northern Arizona
University and who has lived in Flagstaff on
and off for about seven years, learned from
a friend that the Wine Loft was interested in
hosting some kind of poetry event. And from
there, Poet’s Den took off.
“With the first Poet’s Den, I thought
there’d be me and maybe five or six of my
friends,” she says. “But we had a great turnout
… and there are 25 to 30 and as many as 40
people who show up [for the events].”
Although Poet’s Den is the newbie
on the scene, it has been embraced by the
other standing literary events, and is built to
Route 66. It’s the local affiliate of Poetry Slam,
Inc., the national-level nonprofit that supports
live poetry performances.
“I think Slam from the beginning—in
making it competitive and making poetry headto-head and getting the crowd involved—has let
people know that poetry can be fun,” Quinonez
says. “It gets people excited about it.”
Slam poetry functions as a juried kind of
event, where the readers attempt to bring to
life in passionate performances their verse
and are judged on their abilities. The goal is
to work toward each local Slam cultivating
a five-member team to send to a national
competition.
Nationally and internationally, slam
poetry has grown into a major movement that
attracts people by the thousands to express
This major literary event will take place in
October of next year and will involve the 72
best slam poets going head to head. It also
will bring auxiliary events, such as a Nerd Slam
and what’s known as the Haiku Death Match,
according to Quinonez.
Adding to that momentum, Jay is working
to reboot the Northern Arizona Book Festival,
which has been on hiatus. He is hoping to have
it in September or October of this year. Also,
his Narrow Chimney is releasing a published
anthology of presenting authors, Narrow
Chimney Reader: Vol. 1, that brings a tangible
element to the local lit scene.
As all this blows up, Quinonez says he’s
working to build a stronger network with
all things poetic and literary in Flagstaff.
It’s called Flagstaff Literary Mainframe, and
week, Barley Rhymes is hosting a special “fifth
Sunday” event at 8 p.m. on Sun, March 29 at
the State Bar, 10 E. Rte. 66. 266-1282. It’s
free and the theme is comic. The hosts invite
people to share their funny poems or literary
readings. On Mon, March 30, Narrow Chimney
returns after a two-week break to bring Laura
Walker, James Winnett and Shannon Cowell,
who are all emerging writers. The anthology
release party happens afterward. It takes place
at Uptown Pubhouse, 114. N. Leroux. 773-0551.

Café Daily Fare’s story of success is the story of America’s success
T
he definition of the American dream is changing. What used
to be perceived simply as the land of freedom and opportunity is being revised to include the characterizations of the
21st century. The diversity and difficulties of the first 15 years
of the new century have brought failure and misery to some, but
growth and evolution for others.
We may find the stories of success and failure, both big
and small, on so-called “Main Street USA.” For all intents and
purposes, the success story in this article is just off of Main
Street. Actually, it’s a restaurant on the Eastern edge of the
downtown footprint.
Café Daily Fare, nestled behind the Babbitt pre-owned
vehicles building off of Route 66, has established itself as a
Flagstaff institution through delicious, quality food, and a hardy,
progressive approach to business.
Owners Nancy McCulla and John Duffy are both modestly
spoken, hard working people dedicated to their craft. McCulla
attended school at NAU and decided to set down roots in Flagstaff to grow her prowess in the catering business. As with all
talented cooks and chefs, the time eventually came for McCulla
to open a business on her own terms.
In a recent interview with Flag Live, McCulla and Duffy recall
the experience of finding a place to set up shop. “I had been
spending half of my life in white-walled rooms with fluorescent
lights,” McCulla says. “My two stipulations were that I needed
trees and I need natural light.”
They purchased what was once a foundry and set out to the
daunting task of remodeling the place. They now own a little over
half of the building, providing an ideal base of operations for all
their business endeavors. They even utilize the fauna around their
building. “We harvest the acorns from the trees outside and grind
them into flour for cookies and pie crusts,” Duffy says.
Their business was originally a full-service catering company
called Simply Delicious. Positioned at the boom of the early
2000s, their catering business was a great success. But what
loomed on the horizon was the hardship that would define what
it meant for them to adapt.
In the financial crisis of the later 2000s, Simply Delicious
keenly found ways to adapt and grow. They pared down their
full-service catering to something much more simple and affordable, and called it Daily Fare. Duffy recalls, “We did this around
the time that the crash hit when all the high-end stuff vanished
for everyone.” Instead of all the more luxurious aspects of catering, Daily Fare became a drop-catering service. “We were just
doing the right thing at the right time, and then a year later
everyone with a car is delivering food,” he continues.
When their food began to resonate with everyone that
sought out the Daily Fare catering service, they decided to turn
an underutilized space in their building into a grab-and-go café.
McCulla, the mastermind behind the food at Simply Delicious

and Daily Fare, seized the opportunity to let her creativity in the
kitchen run wild.
The result is extraordinary menu items and a range of
daily specials that have modest roots but remarkable flavors
and presentation. McCulla describes her process as a balance of
both method and character. If she considers including fish for a
dish, she’ll immediately also consider whether that fish can be
included sustainably.
“Keep it simple, keep it delicious,” McCulla says. This philosophy carries over into the essential legacy of cooking: comfort. “Our
food evokes the sentiment of a time when food was simple, like
when their grandma or whoever made it for them,” Duffy adds.
McCulla works some of her very own magic on the food, but
she also keeps the tried and true methods of cooking in her back
pocket. She does so by subtly building flavors and textures with
patience and care.

“Our pork butt is a five day process,” she
says. “Trimming it, brining it for three days,
making chili sauce with real chilis.” The result
is a complex but evocative journey through
pork, spiciness and saltiness. They also process
their own foods in order to ensure that their
menu staples are available throughout the
year. “We have chilis until next fall,” McCulla
says, laughing.
To say that Café Daily Fare’s menu
is seasonal is shortchanging the thought
and care that go into writing it. McCulla’s
specials could be better described as
being based on mood. “Around the holidays people have way too much sugar, so
we bring in some Asian flare. Lemongrass,
shrimp, something light.” She embraces
salads and grilled meats in the summer,
and will plan on cooking hearty beef
bourguignon if a snowstorm is approaching in the winter.
Other staples include the incredibly popular Blackberry Duck Tacos. The delicate yet
intense dish is served with a habanero aioli and
Fossil Creek goat cheese to temper the heat.
Daily Fare’s salads also are particularly unique.
The flavors in the black bean salad and the quinoa salad, among others, are unexpected and
entirely welcome.
McCulla and Duffy also adapted their
business to the evolving professional scene in
Flagstaff. They acknowledge that not everyone
coming in for lunch will want to sit and chat for
hours at a time, and are open with call-ahead
orders. They also offer a take out version of
the Daily Fare menu that allows the busiest of
professionals to get in and out.
The hope of any small business is that the
product they’re offering is more than reason
enough to stay open. With the recent financial
crash in the United States, businesses had
to fight even harder to survive. McCulla and
Duffy and the crew at Simply Delicious and
Café Daily Fare saw the opportunity to adapt
and grow their business, and were able to continue offering delicious food to anyone willing
to experience it.
They were even able to grow during the
financial crisis, and recently completed renovations on their dining room. Their space on the
edge of downtown is beautiful and food is wholesome and lovingly crafted. There isn’t much else
that one can ask for in a dining experience.
Café Daily Fare, 408 E. Rte. 66, is open
Mon–Sat from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is closed
on Sundays. To learn more, call them directly at

An exciting democracy

hicago! City of broad shoulders. Plutocratic hog butcher. Tool maker for progressive change. Stacker of the wheat
of grassroots power—wheat separated from
the chaff of corporate politicians. Stormy,
husky, brawling. Planning, building, breaking, rebuilding. Under its wrist is the pulse
and under its ribs is the heart of the people.
Laughing! Proud to be hog butcher, tool
maker, stacker of wheat.
Apologies to Carl Sandburg for my
butchering of his 1914 poetic paean to
the rise of this colossus of a working-class
city—but I see a promising new movement
of broad-shouldered populist change for
all of America arising today from the heart
of Chicago’s workaday people. Under the
banner of “Reclaim Chicago,” a dynamic,
politically-savvy progressive coalition has
emerged, engaging thousands of grassroots
Chicagoans in a people-led democratic movement to reclaim their city from the cabal of
corporate elites and corrupt politicians now
reigning over them.
These are not just mad-as-hell ranters,
but mad-as-hellers with a bold agenda for
moving their city toward fairness and justice
for all. They’re mad-as-hellers who have a

shared vision; a long term plan; a democratic organizational framework; a range
of trainers to provide movement skills and
tools for all involved; a network for developing, electing and holding accountable
their own office holders; and—most importantly—both a strong sense of purpose
and an energizing sense of fun. After all,
battling the bastards is about as much fun
as you can have with your clothes on!
Reclaim Chicago is not merely an
election apparatus, but a democracy movement—building a permanent progressive
majority that functions year-‘round, year
after year, so the people truly can become
self-governing. Tune in to these democracy
builders at www.reclaimchicago.org.

The Clean Palate
By Cameron Gray
W
A pirate’s life
hen I was a kid, I had awful ADD.
I still do, but now I view it as my
superpower. It allows me to do
what I do. I can write this article, talk to
people, juggle three other tasks, and you
would never know if I didn’t tell you. ADD
is awesome, but it’s something that has
taken time to learn to work with. I, like so
many of my colleagues, have something like
this that makes the routine cubicle job near
impossible. Fortunately we have an outlet
that we can work within and still be functioning members of society.
I know now that many of the people
who work in the kitchen will rarely ever
have a desk job. If they do, they probably
didn’t do that great in the kitchen to begin
with. It takes a certain type of individual.
It takes a strong work ethic, attention to
detail, the ability to work as a crew and
be neat and tidy along the way. A cool
and level head through overwhelming
stress, noise and clatter will take you far in
the kitchen.
The professional kitchen is an interesting place. I have always regarded the
kitchen as an unruly pirate ship, and I am
their fierce but loyal pirate captain. The
kitchen is a testosterone pit that never
really seems all that professional. It will
build you up and break you down. We are
a merry crew of criminals and rejects, the
addicted and the lost. Mark, one of my
former chefs told me that “the kitchen is
like the army: you only get what you put
into it.”
Mark is a wise man, Chicago born
and raised. His story is all too common.
Lost and found, burnt down and rebuilt,
with scars and stories from a long road of
debauchery. He was the first chef I ever
worked under. I was young, naive and trusting, but nevertheless, Mark took me under
his wing. We connected over music: the
Spencer Davis Group, Gary Clark Jr., Alison
Krauss and Crash Test Dummies. I remember asking if Mark, who was in his late 30s
at the time, had ever seen the Beatles live.
That became a joke amongst the crew
for a few months. I was so far away from
home with no friends or family, and his
crew took me in and teased me enough
to make me feel like family. It’s hard
when you first start out. You make so
many mistakes and have so much to learn.
The crew is your team and if you let them
down, it feels like heartbreak. Mark was
full of wisdom, he still is.
I was the only intern out of five that
survived that summer. I was the only one
who didn’t come from culinary school or
have experience in a professional kitchen.
I was the only intern that kept their
mouth shut (for the most part). I truly
worked for the first time in my life. I was
terrified of something being thrown at
me, or being screamed at from across the
kitchen. It was work. That summer taught
me some of the most valuable lessons
I would ever learn. I took responsibility
for myself and my actions, attempting to
prove myself. I became part of their team.
That was just the start of my kitchen
career. It was the kick in the butt I
needed, just like boot camp. The kitchen
is like the military in so many regards,
but it’s more like a pirate military. When
you sign up you better be ready to work,
and work you will, or you will walk the
plank! We deal with high staff turnover,
high inventory turnover, managing many
types of personality disorders, low wages,
strung out line cooks, keeping a close
eye on finances for red flags of theft and
nonexistent profit margins. I thank almost
every attribute that I have in my skill set
to my mentors and my chefs. But at the
end of the day, I made the decision to get
out of bed and step back into that fire. I
am a fierce competitor and I will never be
out-worked. “Yo-ho-ho and a kitchen’s life
for me.”

REARVIEW
The Write Now
The tight-wire of tension
A
t the beginning of the month we launched 13th call for entries for our monthly Flag
Live writing contest, The Write Now. It’s crazy to think that it’s already been one year
since first offering up this free-write, and in 12 goes of it, we’ve received a ton of
great work. This time, as we move into year two, the talent continues to roll in—we were
even trolled, though it was a weak attempt—and as is always the case, one winner came out
on top.
The contest was once again blind-judged by Flagstaff author Mary Sojourner, who also
gave us this prompt for writers to follow: “Begin with one character and use setting to tell us
something about her/him/yourself. The weather changes and two or more other characters
show up. Opening sentence: S/he/I hadn’t expected to have to wait so long.”
This month’s winner comes in from Bob Malone, to which Sojourner writes: “I was
hooked immediately, then carried along on a tight-wire of strong writing and tension. I won’t
give a spoiler, but there was a moment when I wanted to cheer.”
For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll have our next prompt next week (the first
issue of every month). Typically, submissions should be received no later than 5 p.m. the
following Friday, but April happens to be a five week month, so we thought it a good idea to
extend the deadline a week (April 17 for our next round). Keep the good words coming. And
good luck!
She hadn’t expected to have to wait
so long. Where are they? She trembles
with fear as much as cold. The longer she
is on the property, the greater the likelihood of being caught. Any moment it will
start snowing, providing some cover, but
slowing the work. She shifts from foot to
foot in a futile effort to warm herself. The
cold penetrates her clothing; she might
have piled on more but chose to be light
and agile. Now standing idle she feels
exposed. She could begin without them,
but that is not in the plan they so painstakingly rehearsed … moreover, she lacks
the courage. Yet, she had confronted her
fear and volunteered as scout, scaling
the fence at dusk to arrive at her present
location, having left behind a trail of white
ribbons to guide the others. But they are
late. And she is out here in the dark …
cold and alone. It begins to snow.
Suddenly there are sounds from not
far away and she drops to the ground.
Her breathing quickens, heart pounding
against the cold, hard earth. Now there
are footsteps. Although chilled, sweat
wells up in her armpits. Struggling to
overcome panic, she reasons that if
caught now she can only be prosecuted
for trespass. She wills her flattened
body to merge with the earth and be
inconspicuous. Snowflakes fall on her
lifted face as she strains to visualize
the approaching figure, then utters an
audible sigh of relief as Anton appears.
She stands. Lauren and Evan emerge.
Barely acknowledging one another, she
leads them single file down the hill.
She stops at the fourth cage,
switches on her headlamp and inserts
the pry bar into the lock clasp. Snowflakes drift across the light beam. The
small animal inside shifts about, black
eyes gleaming. She leverages the bar,
the clasp gives, the door swings open.
She moves aside. The fox pauses at the
open door then leaps down and disappears into the swirling snow. Evan is
already at the next cage and she passes
on to another; afraid still, but elated
as a fox freed by her comrades dashes
away. However this night is to end, she
will have no regrets, and offer no apologies. All that matters now is to move
forward with speed and efficiency.
