New Farmers Market

June 26, 2014 |

Screen Shot 2014-06-26 at 2.12.05 PMTHE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT comes directly from Heirloom Farmers Market…

“Iconic Farmer’s Market partners with Pima County for permanent space

On Sunday, July 6, 2014 , The Heirloom Farmers Market Group will be launching its newest and largest market at Rillito Park from 8am to noon.  They will be celebrating the opening with dozens of market vendors, food trucks, live music and chef demonstrations on this Independence Day weekend.  In collaboration with Heirloom and The Rillito Park foundation,  Pima County intends to build a permanent farmers market pavilion that will be the destination for all local food. “We are creating a place that aligns with our mission of celebrating, connecting and educating the community of all that local food has to offer”, says Manish Shah, co-director of the Heirloom Farmers Markets.

The Heirloom Farmers Market will be set on the west end of the grandstands at the Rillito Race track while awaiting the construction of the permanent food pavilion along The Loop.

In October 2013, Heirloom teamed up with the Oro Valley Mayor, Satish Hiremath and Council to build a permanent structure at Steam Pump Ranch which was a huge success.  “Pima County and Oro Valley investing in the creation of large permanent food hubs is evidence of the growing enthusiasm for local food which has also made our magazine such a success”, said Doug Biggers, Editor and Publisher of Edible Baja Arizona.  The Heirloom Farmers Market at Rillito Park will feature their wide variety of vendors which include the area’s finest ranchers, farmers, small food businesses and bakeries who are committed to bringing fresh, high-quality local foods directly to their customers every week.

Shah started at the Sunday Tucson Farmers Market at St. Philip’s plaza in 1998 as a vendor and took over the management of the market in 2002.  “I started with 17 vendors, many of which are still with us,” Shah said.  “We built the market over the last 16 years and can now meet the demands for more vendors and food events while also addressing the shortage of parking in the much larger location of Rillito Park.“

Sorry About the Garden’s Dynamic Command

For the members of Sorry About the Garden, songwriting isn’t a quiet pursuit, but one they approach with the edgy excitability of adrenaline junkies. Creating and playing music fulfills an essential need, says Sara Louise Mohr, the band’s vocalist and piano/keyboard player.

Formed last fall, the group combines a wide range of experience and styles. Mohr is a classically trained pianist, drummer Kevin William Lee’s band history is heavy on garage and punk bands, and bassist Ian Williams has played in projects across the musical spectrum.

“We’re three musicians who very much lean on each other when we write music and when we perform. We don’t overthink things and that works really well for us,” Mohr explains. “We just groove and let things occur and a new animal emerges every time.”

The band started after Mohr had been playing solo for a while and wanted to start a new project. Her last rock band was Strata Divide, while Lee (also a stand-up comic) previously played with Four Five Six, The Swim and Birds of India, and Williams was in The Runaway Five and Ex-cowboy.

“We play what we know, but nothing’s simple. We’re serious and individually we’re all hard-working musicians, and that works great together,” Mohr says.

Mohr’s biggest influence “rock star wise” is Tori Amos, but the trio’s overall sound leans toward piano-driven 1970s psych-rock. “A lot of people, before they hear us, assume that it’s going to be cute girlie music. It’s not like that at all,” she says. “It’s pretty heavy, commanding stuff.”

The band tends to long songs—often five to six minutes in length—that avoid the common verse-chorus-verse structure, built to take listeners on a journey, with a variety of bridges, different parts and fills, with quick turns and shifts in tempo, tone, volume and intensity.

“There are a lot of dynamics in our music. It pulls you in, it sends you out. We’re human, we’re emotional beings, and instead of getting stuck in a riff, our music swells and recedes,” Mohr says.

Lee says he’s challenged to open different doors in his playing with Sorry About the Garden, avoiding simple 4/4 rock structure.

“We work with mood and melody, writing based on how we feel. We start with simple riffs and hone in,” he explains. “We’re different than anything else that’s going on.”

Williams, who joined the band after one day just happening to ask Mohr and Lee if they were looking for a bass player, says their goal in writing is to let the songs take their own directions.

“We don’t have an idea about a song before we start. And then as we write, we’ll frequently bring several different sketches together to finish a song,” he conveys. “We’re doing such weird stuff that not everyone will love it, and that’s OK. The bottom line is we really enjoy the stuff we’re making and we love playing it live.”

The music happens before the lyrics and sometimes they stay as instrumentals. When Mohr writes lyrics, she finds herself dealing with big topics and recurring themes, like struggling with personal beliefs.

This summer, the band is recording a three-song demo and filming a video for “Blur in My Eyes,” with plans to offer the music freely online. They’re working toward a full-length album by the end of the year.

Since playing their first show in December, Sorry About the Garden has been evolving as Mohr, Lee and Williams gain more experience playing together.

“In a lot of ways, we’re still defining what we sound like, but the stuff we’re writing now has this cohesiveness to it. We’re getting a little darker and a little weirder,” Williams says.

Sorry About the Garden performs Saturday, June 21 at Flycatcher, 340 E. 6th St., with Banana Gun and Joe Peña. Find out more, and follow the band, at Facebook.com/sorryaboutthegarden.

Help Kickstart the Jambulance

December 3, 2013 |

The Emergency Circus hopes to embark on a healing circus tour across North America.

The Emergency Circus needs your help to make their efforts, antics and laughter touch more people across the country who may need something to brighten their spirits.

On Saturday, Dec. 7, the Emergency Circus’ Kickstarter campaign to raise money for their future tour, will end. And that means that the race is on to meet their monetary goal, or their dreams of spreading laughter to hospitals and nursing homes may remain just that – a dream.

“It’s an all or nothing campaign funded by people who believe in the project,” said Clay “Mazing” Letson of Emergency Circus.” As of Tuesday, Dec. 3, they were still over $3,000 away from their goal of $11,111.

The funds collected from the Crowd Funding Campaign will allow the Emergency Circus to make their Jambulance – an ambulance acquired and retrofitted into a circus tour vehicle – run on vegetable oil and solar panels.

“We want to be as environmentally and economically stable as we can be,” he said. “That’s why we need this money so that we can do this as best we can and as fast as we can.”

The Emergency Circus is Tucson based non-profit and an affiliate of the Gesundheit! Institute that was founded by the real-life Dr. Hunter “Patch” Adams.

“Our first show was in Tucson, and many of our performers are Tucsonans,” Clay explained. “It’s a very Tucson-y project, for sure.”

Clay “Mazing” and his friends decided that they wanted to take the spirit of laughter and fun to uplift the hurt and the healing more often and on a smaller scale. And the Emergency Circus was born. They’ve traveled to hospitals, prisons, nursing homes and “other places where happiness, health and human connection struggle.”

“Anyone can spread joy, that’s easy,” Clay said. “The best way to get happiness is to give happiness.”

If the Emergency Circus is successful in raising enough funds to make enhancements to their Jambulance, they’ll begin touring the United States and even into Canada starting in April, visiting hospitals and nursing home, prisons and homeless shelters. But if they miss their monetary goal – even by a dollar – they won’t receive anything. That’s the “all or nothing” campaign they’ve embarked on.

“If we don’t make the goal, we can’t do anything,” Clay said. “You can donate as much or as little as you want and based on how much you give, there are incentives.”

Contributors to the Crowd Funding Campaign are offered prizes for their donations – personalized “super-hero theme song,” handmade juggling balls and even a chance to run away with the circus and perform with the Emergency Circus.

“We’ll sing about how amazing and how generous you are. Each song will be personalized,” he added.

The goal of the Emergency Circus is to “gather people in a room or go room to room to liven up spirits and destroy some boredom,” Clay said.

To donate to their cause, visit KickStarter.com. And for more information about Emergency Circus, visit  EmergencyCircus.com. The Crowd Funding Campaign ends Dec. 7.

Glow-ga!

October 8, 2013 |

Breathe. Stretch. Breath. Relax. Breath. Glow… Glow!

Neon paints, black lights and yoga will meet for a night of visual art and music this Saturday evening, October 12, at Tucson Yoga on South 4th Avenue. The studio will be providing participants with body paints and glow stick bracelets and necklaces and will engage in a not-so-standard yoga class followed by a a music infested night of dancing.

“The glow paint on the outside with celebrate the inner light inside all of us,” yoga instructor Alyssa Kratz said.

And even though it may seem that neon colors may not make for an environment conducive to meditation and peace, Kratz says the class will still be spiritually based.

But why neon paints and black lights? Because the vibrant night doesn’t stop after the glowing yoga (glowga!) class. Anyone in the community are welcomed to join the already colorful participants from the yoga class in a night of color and music. Let the dancing commence!

The night of neon was the brainchild of Kratz who is soon embarking on a new journey of her own when she moves to Hawaii this November.

“I’m sad to leave my Tucson yoga family and my Tucson family,” Kratz said. “But excited for my new journey.”

Kratz explained that the night of yoga and dancing manifested itself as a great way to celebrate together as a community but to also say farewell, as the night is also her going away party.

“We wish her the best in her new experiences,” said Ian Williams who will be DJing the event with Just Add Music (J.A.M.) Events. “We’re sending her off in style.”

Williams explained that he has taken Alyssa’s yoga class and that she approached him with the idea to have this fun community event.

“We love having opportunities to play music for people who are receptive,” Williams said. “It’s going to be upbeat and very danceable music.”

Williams said that he and his counterparts will be experimenting with fun mixing and Nu Disco and House music. And since it’s a night of celebration and farewell, J.A.M.’s involvement and contribution is free of charge.

The collaboration of yoga, music and color is exciting for Tucson Yoga who offers fun variations and many different forms of yoga.

“I think for me, a big draw is that they have so many options of yoga classes,” said University of Arizona student and yoga enthusiast Allison Field. “Going to a place with such a variety is great. Very original.”

Field added that yoga is a great social and community thing.

“It’s great for my body and mind and a great way to make friends.” Field said. “It’s definitely a community here.”

Tucson Yoga suggests that participants arrive at 6 p.m. to get decked out in neon colors. The yoga class will begin promptly at 7 p.m. and is $6. The dance party will follow beginning at 8:30 p.m. and is free for anyone. Tucson Yoga is located at 150 S. 4th Ave. For more information visit TucsonYoga.com and check out the Facebook event here.

Crafting AZ Libations & Pub Fare

September 5, 2013 |

Good Oak Bar, opening night

The Good Oak Bar Opens on Congress Street.

The Good Oak Bar is now a reality. Up until a few days ago, the space on Congress – between the new Diablo Burger and the established Rialto Theatre – was still being completed, and was gloriously punctuated by the scent of oak dust. Fittingly, since the name Good Oak bar comes from Gary Nabhan’s interpretation of Arizona’s namesake: the Basque words “aritz onac,” for “place of the good oak,” which became garbled into “Arizona,” and in like fashion you too can garble your words at the Good Oak Bar.

The cozy corners have taken shape and the bar front and vestibule are fashioned from reclaimed wood, roughly 70-years-old, saved from some buildings previously on the Northern Arizona University campus. Derrick Widmark brought the Diablo Burger concept from Flagstaff to Tucson this summer to expand the connections between the local culture and the local foodsheds in Arizona, and with the Good Oak Bar he’s ready to take that idea a step further with what he calls “local foods based pub fare.

“The idea is to broaden our local food footprint and use the palate of pub fare to open up our relationships with local farmers and ranchers,” Widmark explains. With a tight but variable menu based off pub standards like shepherd’s pie or a classic pulled pork sandwich, Good Oak can accommodate the variety of meats and heirloom foods that producers bring to the table. “And maybe some folks will have to come in and sip a pint while they look at the blackboard specials,” Widmark quips.

At the heart of Good Oak is a rotating selection of Arizona beers curated by Blake Collins, the home-brew prodigy turned master brewer for Borderlands. The wine cellar is commanded by Kassie Killebrew, who also concocts beer and wine based cocktails for the more spirit-inclined. As an example, Widmark describes a dream in a glass: imagine fresh peaches from Sleeping Frog Farms, muddled in a light summer beer with a spritz of seltzer.

“Refreshing and local,” Widmark describes, “that’s what we’ll try to do. I think the idea is to give people an option who wouldn’t normally drink just beer or wine, but it also further defines the craftiness of the bar.”

Good Oak Bar, opening night

Widmark says that “with the narrowness of its focus, Good Oak has an opportunity to create a craft wine destination that’s bold and unique,” and parenthetically he adds, “without trying too hard to be either of those things.” The hardest thing Widmark is trying to do, it turns out, is create the kind of bar that deserves to be on Congress, next to the historic Rialto Theatre.

In the interceding time between opening Diablo Burger this summer and now following it with Good Oak, “it’s given me more time to think about, ‘what kind of bar does Tucson want in that space?’” In the light of a tongue-in-cheek discussion to “Keep Tucson Shitty,” Widmark says that “I was drawn to Tucson because of the same qualities of authenticity and character that are being discussed there. I value that sense of place, and I’m committed to trying to deliver that in a heartfelt and unpretentious way.”

And so, here it is: comfort food and libations with a Tucson and Arizona focus. The finishing touches to the bar include an original section of Old Pueblo Trolly track salvaged during Tucson’s streetcar construction, and a giant “Tucson” mural, spelled backwards as if you were standing behind a classic building sign. As for an authentic sense of place, Widmark says that he’s discovered one of the original tenants of the space he’s inherited, the Sunshine Climate Club of Tucson. He’s created a homage to the club that you’ll see as soon as you walk in the door.

Good Oak Bar is now open at 4pm everyday at 316 E. Congress St. Find Good Oak Bar under the locations tab at DiabloBurger.com.

Endangered Lion-Tailed Macaque Has Two Successful Eye Procedures

August 15, 2013 |

From the Press Release

All rights reserved by Reid Park Zoo

“Thelma,” a 29-year old lion-tailed macaque at Reid Park Zoo, recently underwent two eye surgeries to improve her comfort and restore her vision. As an elderly animal, her Keepers watch her behaviors closely and some of her actions indicated she was in discomfort. A physical exam revealed mature cataracts in both eyes and a severely elevated pressure (glaucoma) in one eye as a result.

On July 25th Dr. Alexis Moreno, the Zoo’s veterinarian, consulted with veterinary ophthalmologists Dr. Emily Moeller and Dr. Chris Smith to perform an emergency surgery at the Zoo.  Unfortunately the severe glaucoma caused irreversible damage to her left eye which had to be removed. Her vision in the remaining eye was severely compromised by the cataract and she was at high risk for developing glaucoma in this eye as well. The decision was made to consult with an intraocular lens implantation specialist to remove the cataract and replace the lens with a new one, thus restoring her vision and preventing glaucoma.

Dr. William Fishkind, a local ophthalmologist, and the Director of the Fishkind, Bakewell & Maltzman Eye Care and Surgery Center in Tucson, volunteered to perform the second procedure yesterday.  “I’m very pleased with how the surgery went,” says Dr. Fishkind. “It was an honor to work with the team at Reid Park Zoo. I was amazed at level of commitment by her keepers and the veterinary team at the Zoo. This surgery clearly provided a better life for an important animal at the Zoo…and helping is a splendid thing!”

While the median life expectancy for lion-tailed macaques is unknown, very few live past the age of 30 in accredited Zoos and it’s likely very few live past the age of 20 in the wild. “I’m proud that we were able to restore a better life for this animal,” says Dr. Moreno. “Our philosophy at Reid Park Zoo is that every animal, be it a bird or a primate, young or old, receives the highest level of care possible. Thelma is back on exhibit with the rest of her troop today, and clearly feeling better.”

Lion-tailed macaques are a critically endangered species of primate, with as few as 2,500 individual animals remaining in the wild scattered throughout Southern India. Reid Park Zoo currently houses a troop of 5 individuals. Thelma is the oldest.

Reid Park Zoo is a world class facility that welcomes over half a million visitors per year. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Zoo provides whole-life care for hundreds of exotic animals, representing a variety of habitats around the world. Reid Park Zoo encourages commitment to the conservation of wildlife while providing educational and fun experiences for visitors of all ages. Visit ReidParkZoo.org.

Arizona Biennial: A “State of Art” Exhibition

What does art in Arizona look like today? Do artists in Tucson do the same type of work as Phoenix based artists? Is painting dead? What the heck is an installation?

Every two years the Tucson Museum of Art undertakes an ambitious exhibition that attempts to answer these questions and highlights contemporary art as it is being created by Arizona artists in a single show like no other. The “Arizona Biennial” is open to any artist residing in the state and is always an fascinating survey of how artists are working and what their work looks like. For the past few iterations, the show has been guest curated by a single, invited juror. This arrangement offers two benefits, first all artists who submit to the show have their work seen by a prominent art world curator, and secondly the final show is often a representation of our state’s artists by an outside, unbiased eye. This year the guest juror is Rene Paul Barilleaux, chief Curator of Art after 1945 at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas.

Barilleaux selected “a large number of installations and videos” for inclusion this year according to Tucson Museum of Art curator Julie Sasse. “His unique vision will prove to be a factor in this exciting new look at Arizona art” said Sasse. This year the Biennial features five installations and six video artworks. That coupled with 28 paintings, 12 sculptures and 12 photographs, 15 works on paper and two mixed media pieces, it makes for a diverse and eclectic range of genres in one place. The 80 selected works were drawn from over 1,250 that were submitted by 419 artists around the state. 62 different artists are represented with a slight edge of male over female artists this year. The Phoenix area is home to 22 selected artists, while there are 34 Tucson based artists in the mix, along with 4 hailing from Flagstaff.

Craig Cully (Tucson), “Conviction: A Soft Punch”, 2012, Oil on panel 12.75″ x 12″.

Paintings make up a large percent of the wall space at the biennial again this year with several well known figurative artists presenting strong new works. Tucson favorites Daniel Martin Diaz, Craig Cully, James Cook and Michael Stack are represented with their powerful and unique visions. Former University of Arizona School of Art head and public artist Moira Marti-Geoffrion, and mixed media artist Michael Cajero also present strong works that speak to their unusual use of materials and presentation styles.

But perhaps looking beyond the recognizable names is the true allure of a show like the biennial. Work by emerging, or under-exposed artists from around the state lets us see how artists are responding to social, political and gender issues, along with how they are reacting to new media and non-traditional modes of expression. While this show represents the view of a single juror, and is based upon the submissions that were received, it is also a curious snapshot of a moment in time, and by looking at this show every two years, art aficionados can truly take stock of what contemporary art in Arizona looks like.

The Arizona Biennial exhibition opens on July 19 with a reception from 6-8pm. The show will be on display at the TMA through September 29 in the main exhibition space. The museum is located at 140 North Main Avenue. TucsonMuseumOfArt.Org

Over 1,250 works were submitted to Arizona Biennial 2013 and 80 pieces were selected for the exhibition. This is the oldest running juried exhibition featuring exclusively Arizona artists.
