Self Defenseby Steve Weber

Use of the Feet After previous articles that discussed both the advantag-es and the disadvantages of using the feet as a weapon, it seems appropriate to point out that other parts of the leg are equally formidable. One of the reasons for my emphasis on using the lower limbs to a much greater degree is that it frees up the hands. Many people not only restrict their self-defense to using hands, but also further diminish their defensive capabilities by placing more effort on their strong (right or left) side. We can all agree that a physical confrontation will ultimately become up

close and personal. With that in mind, let’s assume the defender is trying to figure out how to keep the attacker at bay. While at-tempting to restrain the grip or blows of the attack, how does one use the same hands to strike back? The answer, especially for the average untrained individual, is they often can’t. Since the hands are tied up, use of the legs takes on a much more important role. They now become the main offensive weapons avail-able. Their use also becomes another threat to the attacker who must now either back away and disengage or drop

his own hands for defense. What specific part of the leg? Primarily the knees, but the shins make good weapons too. The knees are the strongest joints on the body. They are large, bony, and hard. When fighting in close, they are easier to use and harder to defend against than the feet. Targets include the inside and outside of the thigh, the lower abdomen, the ribs, and the groin. Remember that a failed groin strike may

incite the attacker to higher levels of violence, espe-cially if the altercation was a minor one and that target was inappropriate. Unless you are a Muay Thai fighter, I would limit the use of shins to soft tis-sue areas like the inside and outside of the thigh. A bone on bone strike will be an experience you will wish to avoid. Mr. Weber is the chief in-structor at the Aikido Acad-emy of Self-Defense locat-

ed at 16134 North Oracle Road, in Catalina. He has more than 40 years of ex-perience in the Martial Arts and has achieved skills in a variety of disciplines.

A personal view of the Teapot …An ethereal blue drifts like fog over the depiction of the Kearny area landmark of Teapot Mountain painted by area artist Vicki Clark. (Cindy Tracy photo)

By Cindy Tracy Copper Basin resident and artist, Vicki Clark spent her childhood winters in the desert areas of Arizona and her summers camping in and

discovering the sights and sounds of the state’s White Mountains. But she says that, back then, she didn’t know how much the “beauty of the

Beauty of region, feelings and emotions desert and the majesty of the mountains” would influence her future life, how it would help to shape her as an artist. Clark was born in Globe and raised in the copper mining areas of Globe, Miami and ultimately Kearny. She still lives in Kearny, where she is a photographer and reporter for the local newspaper. She had first retired from a 30-year career at that same hometown paper in 2004. Two years ago she says she realized she missed writing and accepted a position with the paper as a staff writer. She now meets her journalism deadlines out of her home office and also pursues her art vocation from there as well. She says she relishes and enjoys the newspaper work almost as much as she does her art. Journalism, she says, with its years of laying out photo shoots and researching

stories has been another source of discipline and influence in her art. Clark married her husband, Tom, now deceased, soon after graduating from high school. The couple stayed in the Copper Basin, she says, not because they had to but because they wanted to. They lived in Hayden and

Winkelman and then settled in Kearny to raise three children. Clark had the opportunity to travel extensively because of her husband’s career but “but the idea of ever leaving the Copper Basin permanently was never considered.” The creative process was always second nature for

Clark. She exercised her talents “in a variety of ways before discovering the art of putting oils on canvas more than 25 years ago,” she says. She began painting on a whim, she says. The whim grew into a passion and over time has been influenced by many people, including other artists and their work. She says the world of art keeps her sane. It is a safe place to go to when everything else gets a “little nutty,” she says. The desert southwest is her favorite subject. But she believes an artist can’t grow without attempting something new sometimes. She has tried her hand at everything from still-life to portraits. She says she enjoys exploring the “isms.” Some of her pieces can be described as “realism” while others are a combination of “expressionism” and “impressionism.” She finds the idea of abstract art “intriguing.” Among her favorite artists is Jackson Pollack (1912-1956). He was influential in the abstract art movement in the middle of the last century and created the “dribble method” of trickling paint on a canvas stretched out on the ground. Clark quirks a smile when asked how the desert and mountains drive and influence her artistic life. “I don’t know,” she says. “It’s weird. It is like taking pictures in my mind of things that are so beautiful and there’s that thing of wanting to create that kind of beauty instead of just taking a picture of it.” She says she does take pictures, lots of pictures. She often paints from the pictures she takes. But when she is out in the desert or even just sitting in her house in Kearny and looking out the living room window, she gets “that feeling.” It is the same everywhere in the stunning landscape that is the Copper Basin or in the lovely White Mountains, where her family still has property and spends quality time together in the summer. It is the same if she is somewhere in town or on the

fuel paintings of area artistroad or the open air looking at beautiful wildflowers or contemplating the well-known Kearny area landmark of Teapot Mountain. The feeling is there. She says, when she sees something beautiful or special or that has emotional content for her, “I have that feeling of wanting to recreate it myself instead of just taking a picture of it. There is just that feeling.” Up in the White Mountains “that feeling” is still there, she says. But it is a different type of sentiment, too. Clark says many of her paintings spring from early memories of times in that scenic region. “We always went camping and fishing there,” she says, “and then after my family got the cabin, we were spending so many summers up there in the cabin.” This is where her whole family comes together still, she says. “Because we’ve got room enough to spread people out.” There are three different homes there for the family siblings “and we all connect on this property,” she says. “And I don’t even know how to say it,” she reflects. “It’s just like in the evenings, we celebrate the sunsets, the sunsets are gorgeous up there and we go out, you know,

with our little cocktails and sit out in the fields and toast the sunset.” A painting on the wall of Clark’s residence glows with the memory and Clark’s own thoughts about one of those sunsets celebrated with her family. Translated somehow

from the realm of mere vision to that of an inward emotion of her own, a flash of recollection, it is how she tries to paint. She does, she explains, try to recreate on canvas the things she sees or remembers and her emotions about them.

She asks, rhetorically: “Does that make sense?” Other Clark paintings are simply places and things she has conjured up in her imagination, flashes of vision. A little adobe courtyard with a church that seems from a different era nestles in a secluded vale,

with Teapot Mountain visible in the distance. Clark says that courtyard probably never was there in that exact place. She just felt like creating it. She explains about how not everything a painter puts on canvas has to look exactly like it looks. “When you labor really, really hard to

try to make it look exactly like something, you’re only disappointing yourself,” she says about portraying any subject. “But if you can get close with feeling, then, STOP!” For instance, she once

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Have you ever walked into a place and thought ‘Holy Moly!’? Well, this is the reaction that I had a couple Saturdays back when I happened upon The White Porch in downtown Globe. It was purely by chance. I had stopped by the Depot with my soon-to-be father-in-law so that he could check out the train (The Man LOVES Trains) and while he was checking out the train I stopped in to say “YO!” to my new friend Kip Culver, who happens to be the stationmaster. Kip told me to head over to the old Jailhouse, which we did and as we wandered in that direction, I caught sight of The White Porchfrom a distance and zeroed right in. I made the men stand outside with the dogs while I peeked into this little gem. I instantly made up my mind that a return visit was in-store since if I walked out with everything I wanted to purchase, Ben would straight yell at me and probably break off our engagement. Thus a return visit was arranged and now I am fully able to expand upon the lovely artifacts held within. First, I need to mention that it is too cool to have this specific store set in the basement of the old courthouse, smack next to the haunted old Jailhouse; it sort of sets the mood. Second I need to mention that the shop’s delicious proprietor, Molly Cornwell is simply too delightful for words…ok, let me say this, I want to hug the woman every time I see her; she has one of those ‘hug me and then laugh with me’ smiles that are invaluable in this day and age. She makes the already grand, time-elapsing experience five to six times better than it would have originally been. Let me explain what I mean by ‘time-elapsing’, not only does this stand for the fact that you could

quite literally spend hours in the store sifting through

the pure peaches inside, but it additionally is meant

to convey that the store i t s e l f passes th rough many different decades. Like many other typical antique-y boutiques, she has the cool kitchen items and devastatingly beautiful crystal ware from ‘another time’; you know, the quaint cookie cutters that make you want to rush home and make shortbread/sugar cookies/gingerbread so that you can spend hours decorating that awesome cowboy hat/kitty cat/flower cookie produced from the sweet piece of metal that you just obtained. We all love these types of items and each time I see them, I dedicate a huge spot on my to-do list for the perfect kitchen that can house them all. I don’t really need another rolling

pin…oh but I really do! Yes, I have five, but you can never have too many when you are having a pie making party, right? Once you move past the immediate reaction of needing that cool little juicer you just set your eyes on, you start to see all the other incredible items on show in Molly’s little shop of

marvel. You might survey the delicate antique lace wedding dress that on first glance looks like it was plucked from the 1940s or you could turn 15 degrees to your right and catch the beautiful flapper-style number hanging just behind the cabinet. At this point you will mini-scream in

This would give them an extra market to work.” Besides the farmers market, Dawn and Bill are expanding the use of the Marketplace for other activities. Every first and third Saturday of the month there is a community yard sale held at the Marketplace.

Vendors are encouraged to bring a table and shade. The vendors fee is $15. The building and parking lot are also available for daily rental. “We have a lot of talented people in the area,” said Bill. “It is a great place to have an art show or an event.” Some people have shown an interest in using the air conditioned building to teach classes.

someone told her that it was a marvelous painting with lots of feeling and emotion in it and the viewer would know what she was trying to say. So she signed it and said, “Okay, I’m done!” Vicki Clark has had a one-woman show at the The Little Gallery in Kearny and her paintings have been seen in a number of places in the Copper Basin. She has exhibited at the annual Kearny Pioneer Days Arts and Craft Show where she has won numerous awards. She also has shown at the Cobre Valley Art Center in Globe and the annual Arts Festival in Superior. In the winter, she paints with the “ArtUs” group. She explains ArtUs is “a collection of artists who get together once a week for a day of creativity, sharing and caring. The group puts on a yearly exhibit for the public at The Little Gallery.” She has also shown with the Northeastern Arizona Fine Arts Association at the High Country Gallery in Pinetop.

Remember the first hand-made book you made in grade school? You or someone in your family may even still have it. That’s how precious it is. Four upcoming workshops in Oracle can help rekindle your bookmaking creativity. Orga-nized by Val Bembenek, paper artisan, and Barbara Cowlin, artist and art teacher, the in-dividual sessions are at Bar-bara’s roomy home studio on Linda Vista Drive in Oracle. The June 7 workshop is on Japanese Stab Binding styles. This is one of the world’s most elegant bookbinding techniques with identical stitch patterns front and back. Participants will make three books to keep or give, includ-ing a journal-style album with recycled grocery bag covers. Fold Books, often called “in-stant books, will be featured on June 14. These small books require no stitching, only care-ful paper folding, cutting, and some gluing. Participants will make several varieties with self covers, one with hard cov-ers and ribbon ties, and a tassel book with no beginning and no end. Since a blank book is an incomplete book, two other workshops will help fill any empty pages with words, art, graphics, and pizzazz. Imagination Journaling on June 8 is a picnic of ideas on how to use stamps, photos, stencils, collage, poems, and humor. And on June 14, a Transfers and Stencils Primer includes working with gel transfers and transfer paper using photos and clip-art photocopies, plus French curves and other sten-cils. The sessions are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and each book-arts workshop is $45, plus materi-als fee. Val and Barbara will finish their spring workshops with a

two-day Drawing Intensive on June 21 and 22, and a Papier Mache Intensive on June 28. A brochure with all workshop details and registration form is at www.barbarakempcowlin.com > workshops. Or call 520-896-2464 if you wish to have the brochure mailed to you.

delight and start planning out quite the epic Halloween costume and possible parties to show it off during. Yes. Trust me. This WILL happen to you.

After you spaz out for a minute in your little corner of the shop, having also checked out all the different costume jewelry that you can accessorize with and then the superb little Cloche hat that you can top off your outfit with, you will calmly

walk out and then notice all the mega-loud aprons on display. This effectively throws you right back to dreaming about your cute little kitchen and making truly towering gourmet creations in your delicately ruffled, little gourmet apron. Seriously, this shop sets you on the path to La La Land and you don’t come back for a while. These aprons, which you will cherish with delight, are the handy work of Holly Brantly, who in a gratifying and hilarious manner explained to me how they came about. “After the economy crashed, everyone went back to their ‘comfortable place’ …yeah, my place was aprons, what can I say?” I would say “AWESOME!” Having made the aprons since 2008, I would deem this a splendid use of her time. Splendid! Holly is just one of over 70 different vendor/crafters that Molly

works with in the shop. Molly decided from the start that this was going to be a community-minded store and has done everything (and I do mean everything) within her power to make it that way. Having moved from Mesa to Globe, Molly has an on-going (eight years strong) newsletter about the shop, the various activities going on in the shop and community, that now commands over 1500 devotees. WOW! When Molly throws cocktail parties and desert socials, she is truly able to outfit the community for these events. Many people will come to her for the help with themed events such as a recent period wedding which took place on the Copper Spike. Beyond selling people costumes, props and accessories for their events, Molly and her vendors lend out many pieces to the Center for

Ohhh the hats ... (Taylor Sheaffer Ritter photo)

the Arts for use in plays, concerts and what not. Through The White Porch, Molly sponsors many of the events that take place in Globe such as the Bawdy Broad Street Bar and Bordello tour that took place on Friday, May 13, or the Easter Parade that took place last month and all the costume events that take place in town. They also hold an annual Fall Apron Fashion show and treasure hunts within the store. So if you are in need of a costume this is a fantastic place to start, not only does it have a huge selection of clothing that spans decades, but they also have vendors who design and make clothing if you need something highly specific. For instance, I need a birdcage veil for my September wedding and will likely be sourcing it there. Molly also keeps a ‘wish list’ of items that customers are looking for, so essentially she will search so you don’t have to. Speaking of which, if you have any vintage

clothing that you do not have a need for, get ahold of Molly as she is always in need of vintage clothing. During the good weather months, The White Porchsponsors The Marketplace on the second Saturdays of the month. In my rambling way, I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly detail all the many wonderful items for sale at The White Porch, but that is ok, because I know that I have whetted your appetite enough that you will go check it out for yourself. If you don’t, it truly is your loss. For more information on the shop and upcoming events, Molly has recently started a Facebook page which you can find under White Porch Gifts and Antiques. Molly can also be reached via email at mollycornwell@hotmail.com . The White Porch can be found “nestled inside the 1906 Historic Courthouse Bulding” at 101 North Broad Street, Globe, Arizona and can be reached at 928-425-4000.
