| | | Target Shooting a Major Cause of Arizona Forest Fires BY RAY STERN  Gary Hanna's cruising through the desert wildlands east of Phoenix in his white SUV, hunting for shooters. On this warm early morning in late June, the forest ranger is one of several state and federal officials patrolling the southern Tonto National Forest on the lookout for one of the most frequent causes of wildfires — people shooting guns. It's the reason behind as many as 31 Tonto fires since 2009, authorities say. Signs posted at the dirt-road entrance to the Tonto off Beeline Highway warn of fire restrictions (lifted as of July 17 for this season) that include a ban on target shooting, but it's easy to miss them. Even when people learn of the restrictions, they don't always a... more >>
| | | | | | | | Three Woodstock Veterans to Honor the Heroes in Flagstaff BY CALEB HALEY  Even more than 40 years later, no musical period is more influential to today's rock 'n' roll than the '60s and early '70s. Young bands on modern Top 20 radio may not be able to cite a single artist from the 1960s, but it's still there in their influences from the '90s, even if they're unaware of the music that shaped their own ideas of originality. We're all tempted to believe the time in which... more >> | | | | | | | | At the Western, Menu Lets Down an Otherwise Great Club BY LAURA HAHNEFELD  Editor's note: As this column went to press, The Western indicated it would be developing a new menu. Some dishes described below may not be available. Visit our food blog, Chow Bella (www.phxfood.com), for updates.

To dub Joshua Oppenheimer's documentary a masterpiece is at once warranted and y... more >> | | | | | | | | Sesame Street Without the Sass (and Not Much Bert) at Arizona Science Center BY ROBRT L. PELA  I was too old for Sesame Street. When it debuted in November 1969, I was in the second grade, and this oddball educational show wasn't yet a groundbreaking, game-changing cultural touchstone. It was a brand-new public TV kiddy program aimed at 3- to 5-year-olds just learning their ABCs. I already knew the alphabet; in fact, I'd recently gotten in trouble with my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Jorgensen... more >> | | | | | | Chow Bella If you thought the craft beer community wasn't alive and thriving in the Valley before now, you're either not a beer drinker, or blind.
