Flagstaff Local Frequency: March 12 - DPS Investigation, NAU Changes, and Spring Updates
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, March 12.
Start your day with some clarity on that tragic DPS helicopter crash from last month during the active shooter chaos here in town. The NTSB's preliminary report rules out any bullet strikes, pointing instead to a likely drivetrain failure with engine overspeed, overheating, and those two loud bangs heard on radio calls before it spun out of control. An Arizona man faces felony murder charges for the deaths of the pilot and trooper, a stark reminder of how quickly street incidents can escalate and claim lives in our community. Meanwhile, NAU is mourning the end of an era as legendary sports broadcaster Mitch Strohman calls his final Lumberjacks game after over 30 years as the Voice of the Lumberjacks, following their Big Sky Tournament loss.
On campus, the fraternity hazing scandal that shook us in January continues to unfold, with three leaders arrested in connection to the alleged death of Colin Daniel Martinez, leading to a full shutdown. It underscores the real dangers of unchecked traditions and why NAU's cracking down hard to protect students. Art lovers, dont miss the free opening reception tonight for the 23rd Annual City of Flagstaff Recycled Art Exhibition, running through April 12th. This family-friendly showcase transforms trash into treasure, inspiring us all to rethink waste in our high-desert home.
Travelers, good news from the skies: American Airlines is upgrading to a bigger Airbus jet for Flagstaff-to-Dallas flights starting in May, nearly doubling seats and making those escapes to DFW smoother for spring breakers and business folks alike. But healthcare hits a snag Northern Arizona Healthcare has paused plans for a new Flagstaff Medical Center, despite outgrowing the current one, which could mean longer waits at a time when our growing population needs it most. And keep an eye on city planning: the Planning and Zoning Commission is hashing out rules for data centers, balancing tech boom potential against our precious water and land resources.
Tonight, head to Dark Sky Brewing Co.s Beer Garden at 7pm for Smarty Pints Trivia, a fun Thursday staple through March that tests your wits over craft brews. NAU hosts the Almost Everything Art Exhibition and School of Art plus Design Faculty Exhibition, perfect for soaking in creative vibes. The Airport Commission meets at 1pm in hybrid format if youre into aviation updates.
This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
