Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, January 21st. We're starting today with some exciting healthcare news for our community. Sage Memorial Hospital in Ganado just reopened its surgical services department this morning after nearly two decades. The first procedures happened just this morning with colonoscopies and endoscopies. This is a huge deal for the area because residents have been traveling all the way to Flagstaff and Phoenix for these procedures, and our neighbors say they couldn't even get appointments in Flagstaff because they're completely booked. By late February or March, the hospital will add labor and delivery services including cesarean sections, and then move into laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder removals. Emergency surgeries are expected within the year. Hospital leadership calls this a phased approach, what they're calling their crawl, walk, run strategy, and they're partnering with Creighton University Medical Center to support more advanced surgeries once everything is fully up and running. Here in Flagstaff itself, there's plenty happening to keep you entertained today. If you're into live music, head over to the Flagstaff Mall at half past eleven for the Traditional Music Jam that runs until one o'clock. They're featuring bluegrass, fiddles, and mandolins for all you music lovers out there. For our film enthusiasts, the Sedona International Film Festival is wrapping up several movies today. You can catch the critically acclaimed National Theatre of London production called The Fifth Step at three thirty. It stars Jack Lowden and Martin Freeman and tells the story of two men in a twelve step program. There's also The Choral, a beautiful film about a Yorkshire choir during World War One, also showing at four o'clock. Both theaters are in West Sedona. Looking ahead, we have some big developments coming to Flagstaff. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that a new temple will be built on ten and a half acres at the corner of Butler Avenue and South Fourth Street. It's designed as a single story structure and will serve the growing population of nearly four hundred forty five thousand Latter-day Saints across Arizona. Tonight at five thirty, Mother Road Brewery is hosting an evening with attorney Rose Winkeler from Flagstaff Law Group if you're interested in any legal topics. And if you're looking for something a bit later, Arizona Snowbowl is hosting Trivia Night at Basecamp starting at six o'clock this evening. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
