to do next SelfWhat Defense Last month we discussed tying up the attacker’s arms when he is close enough to intimidate and overwhelm you. We explained that staying nearer to the attacker might be the best defensive choice because it limited the amount and the power of the blows being directed at you. Using the analogy of a boxer’s clinch, we suggested that not only could you use your hands to block, but you could also wrap the hands around the attacker’s arms and tie them up. Today’s article will offer you
are right handed, you will undoubtedly choose to free your strong right hand. Fortunately, your left hand has a ninety percent chance of continuing to control the attacker’s strong right hand. Martial Artists train to use both sides with equal skill. The free arm can now punch, elbow, palm heel strike, gouge, poke, pinch, etc. If you are uncomfortable letting go of either arm, continue to hold on and use a knee or foot to hit any available target. Perhaps the attacker is now more wary of you and wants to disengage. Push him off, move backwards with your hands up in front of you, and create defensive distance. Mr. Weber is the chief instructor at the Aikido Academy of Self-Defense located at 16134 North Oracle Road, in Catalina. He has more than 40 years of experience in the Martial Arts and has achieved skills in a variety of disciplines. He also teaches Tai-Chi with classes on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. Please call (520) 8258500 for information regarding these and other programs.

some ideas on WHAT TO DO NEXT. Okay, now that you have entered the “eye of the hurricane” and there appears to be a brief respite from the attacker’s onslaught because you tied up the arms, what are your options now? To remain in that position will feel like you have a tiger by the tail and it certainly cannot be sustained for very long. At some point you must release one of his arms so that your arm is free to strike. For the ninety percent of you that

Bergit Rockmore: Art in her blood and in her heart By John Hernandez You might say that Bergit Rockmore was born to be an artist. Her parents were both well known artists. Julian Rockmore, her father, was a well known artist in New York, famous for his paintings of New York subway scenes, country auctions and circus and carnival paintings. Her mother, Cynthia Rockmore, was a portrait artist. She was also the art director for McCalls, House Beautiful, Woman’s Day and Today’s Woman magazines. They were both avid antique collectors and wrote two books on antiques with illustrations. Bergit’s uncle, Floyd Davis, and aunt, Gladys Rockmore Davis, were renowned artists in New York and frequently socialized with a circle of artists that included people like Ernest Hemingway, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. They were both commissioned by Life Magazine to cover the Liberation of Paris in 1944 – 1945. They were the first husband and wife correspondent team to cover a war together. Floyd Davis was a painter and illustrator who worked a long time for the Saturday Evening Post. In 1943, Life Magazine called him the number one illustrator in
America. A painting he did of Bob Hope entertaining the troops in England during World War II still hangs in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Gladys Rockmore Davis was a featured artist for commercial advertising for major companies such as Upjohn and Johnson and Johnson. Her illustrations for Johnson and Johnson were made into prints. She left advertising and became an award winning portrait artist. Floyd and Gladys had a son Noel who was also a renowned artist. He is known for his paintings of the French Quarter in New Orleans especially his paintings of jazz musicians such as Odetta and Dizzy Gillespie. As you can see, Bergit is proud of her artist lineage. She has many of her families’ paintings hanging in her home. Bergit said she started painting at age five. She was exposed to art as an infant and throughout her formative years, posing for portraits that her mother painted. Her parents always let her have art supplies and she learned a lot about painting just from observing them. “Art has always come naturally to me,” she says. She has a Bachelor’s Degree from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. She also studied

art for a year in Rome, Italy. She grew up in New York and was living in New Jersey when the blizzard of 1996 hit the Northeast. She and her husband John decided they “had had enough, and were going to move to sunny Arizona.” They have lived in Catalina since 1998 in a home they both designed and built in 2001. Bergit’s husband John owns ”the best respected German auto repair business in Tucson.” Bergit says that her first love is painting but her other creative interests include fabric sculpture, designing clothes and accessories, jewelry designing, rubber mold making and casting, and silversmithing. She polishes and cuts her own stones to use in her jewelry. She says she loves working with concrete and stone veneer. Her studio at her home is constantly being used as she works on three or four different projects at a time. She also has an outdoor studio next to her garden to inspire her. She is an avid gardener. Her garden has fruit trees, vegetables and a huge collection of irises. Bergit has her own line of notecards. Each painting she does becomes a notecard. Her line is known as Rockmore Studios Tucson “Fat Rabbit Cards.” Her card line is displayed and sold at the Tucson Museum of Art gift shop. She has had paintings displayed and sold at Jane Hamilton Fine Arts in Tucson. Bergit is a member of the Catalina Community Arts Council and their annual Catalina Artists Studio Tour. Last year she was the featured artist and one of her paintings graced the cover of the tour brochure. The Studio Art Tour will be coming up in November. You can meet Bergit and view and purchase her art work at the 77north Marketplace, 16733 N. Oracle Road in Catalina every Friday from 8 a.m. – noon. She has paintings, notecards and jewelry on display. You can also see some of her art at bergitrockmore.com.

Ray-Sonora History: By John Hernandez A weakened economy, high unemployment, a new county sheriff warning the public of armed Mexican criminals crossing the border to harm Americans, a governor and legislature calling for more troops at the border and passing questionable laws to stem the tide of Mexicans coming into the United States. Is this Arizona today, the state of hate, with its Senate Bill 1070, “build the dang fence” rhetoric, and guns allowed in bars gunslinger attitude? Well, actually it is but it was also the state of Arizona in the early 1900s, only back then it was slightly more explosive. Racism was out in the open not just in Arizona but in the United States. There was a revolution across the border, a world war raging in Europe, the Copper Barons fighting

The Town of Sonora, c. 1910-1920. the workers, and it was still the “wild west.” These factors would influence an incident within the Copper Corridor that would impact many lives and the region for years to come. The mining towns of Ray, Sonora and Barcelona no longer exist except in the history books and memories of those who lived there and the stories they told their descendants. These towns are buried under the open pit mine now owned by GRUPO/ ASARCO that is located between Kearny and Superior. At one time these towns were bustling communities of Americans and immigrants struggling to make a living working for the copper mine. These towns were also segregated. It was the early 1900s and segregation of the
mine workers was the norm. The town of Ray was built by the company to house whites/anglos and the all white management/ supervisory staff. Mexicans and Mexican Americans lived in Sonora along with a few Syrian and Lebanese immigrants. Barcelona was the home of mine workers from Spain. Open 7 Discrimination days a week was open, accepted and 11 a.m. toowners 9 p.m. promoted by the of the Ray Consolidated Copper Company. It was a way to keep workers from uniting and forming stronger unions. The companies would use Mexican workers as strikebreakers or replacement workers (scabs). Mexicans were not allowed in the bars in Ray and whites did not go into Sonora after dark. Segregation and
discrimination continued until after World War II. During these times, workers of Mexican descent were paid lower wages than their white counterparts for the same job. Spanish, Mexican, and Mexican American wages were $2.25 per day for muckers and $3 a day for machine workers. Anglos received $3.75 and $4.15 a day for those jobs. Unions were organizing and fighting pitched battles with the Robber Barons and the big corporations. Copper companies pitted ethnic groups against each other to cripple organized labor and keep wages depressed.

Shootout in Devil’s Canyon, Part I a military force that occupied the port of Veracruz which in turn angered Mexico and its people in the United States. More than 150 Mexicans and 29 Americans were killed in
Sonora’s baseball team during better times, c. 1914. had been killed and a wood shop had been set on fire. More than 250 American volunteers led by Captain Thomas Rynning of the Arizona Rangers crossed the border with the permission of the Governor of Sonora and helped quell the strike along with Mexican Rurales. More than 30 Mexican Miners were killed. This incident was one of the sparks that would start the Mexican Revolution. In 1914 the citizens of Arizona voted to pass what was known as the 80 percent law. The law mandated employers with five or more employees to have at least 80 percent of their workers be qualified electors or native born citizens of the United States. The law was ruled unconstitutional in 1915. Previously the Arizona Legislature passed the eight hour work day law which discriminated against Mexican workers as white workers were paid by the hour while Mexicans were paid by the day. The mine owners immediately cut Mexican’s pay by 10 percent. Arizona and other border states were promoting an anti-Mexican climate. The Mexican Revolution was heating up especially along the border where gun
fire from some battles had injured Americans on the U.S. side of the border. Thousands
of United States troops were stationed along the border. The United States had sent in

Continued from Page 9 west, violence was a regular occurrence. There is a story reported in the Bisbee Daily Review April 14, 1907: In the town of Christmas, a small mining community near Ray, 300 Mexican miners grabbed their guns and tried to capture an Anglo Deputy Sheriff after he shot and killed a Mexican Miner. Anglo miners defended the sheriff, and a “bloody race war almost erupted”. It was reported that Christmas eventually returnedt onor mal. The Arizona Republican newspaper reported a story in July of 1914 that would intensify the atmosphere of
fear and hate. The newspaper revealed an alleged plot that had been forming in the Phoenix area. Maricopa County officers working for two months on the case had uncovered a conspiracy which stated that Mexicans and Arizona Indians had plotted to raid Phoenix businesses and the National Guard armory. Included was part of the plan which said that 500 Indians from the Sacaton area promised assistance to the Mexicans. During the time this story appeared there was a bad economic recession. It was a period of high unemployment and labor strife in Arizona. Many Americans saw the problems
as being caused by unchecked immigration. Arizona copper mines cut their work force in half. Most of those laid off were Mexicans, Mexican Americans and other immigrants. Nine conspirators were reported in jail and law enforcement was looking out for more of the gang. The headline of the article read, “Red Flaggers Would Loot Phoenix – Kill, Divide Spoils”. An informant alleged that a Mexican named Teodoro Gaytan who is a follower of Ricardo Flores Magon, the Mexican Anarchist, visited Phoenix and spoke to the conspirators. The informant said that Gaytan told them

that all the Mexicans should take up arms against the United States. For those unfamiliar with Ricardo Flores Magon, he was a Mexican anarchist who edited and wrote articles for a newspaper called Regeneracion. He fled Mexico where his writings were banned and came to the United States. He organized for the International Workers of the World (IWW) also called the Wobblies. He is considered a hero of the Mexican Revolution for his writings and union organizing helped spark the revolution. He had been released from Arizona Territorial Prison in 1910 after serving an 18-month sentence for conspiracy to commit a crime against the United States. While he was in prison, Teodoro Gaytan helped edit the newspaper Regeneracion and kept it going along with a few other Magonistas as Magon’s followers were known. Magon would later die in Leavenworth prison in 1922 where he was serving a sentence for violation of the espionage act. On August 15, the Arizona Blade Tribune reported that Pinal County Sheriff Henry Hall arrested Teodoro Gaytan near Ray. It said that Gaytan was speaking to the Mexicans in the area and inciting them. Sheriff Hall reported to the Pinal County Board of Supervisors that he had it “upon pretty reliable authority that members of the gang were planning to raid the small places such as Feldman, Kelvin, and Mammoth and get out of the country into Mexico.” Hall asked the Board for authority to “take each steps as seemed necessary to cope with any emergency that might arise.” The Board granted him the authority. The article reported that “an eye will be kept on the movements of all Mexicans that have been let out of the mine for some time yet.” In some historical books on the mining history of the area it was said that the mine employers and local officials conducted harassment campaigns to intimidate See Shootout, Page 11

may have also led to a bloody race riot. Continued from Page 10 It was going to be another hot day in Arizona on August workers attempting to 19, 1914. To avoid some of unionize. In the book Border Citizens: the heat and get an early start, Constable Phin Brown and 17 The Making of Indians, year old Will Landry headed Mexicans, and Anglos in into the Pinal Mountains Arizona the author wrote, “In above Ray at 4 a.m. Brown 1914, the Ray Consolidated was looking for a horse Copper Company and the thief named Pedro “Pete” local Sheriff’s Department Smith. Young Landry was was keeping a stranglehold a French Canadian and was on the workers, intimidating, riding along because he had ejecting, or jailing purported witnessed the theft and could troublemaking.” It was in identify the stolen horse. this environment of fear, Landry had reported to Brown ignorance and hate that an alleged theft of a horse would that he had confronted Pete Smith and his half-brother lead to an ambush and four Ubaldo Amaya after seeing day running gun battle that is them with a black mare that considered the bloodiest man belonged to Mose Lufty. He hunt in Arizona history. It
demanded that they give up the horse when they told him “we will kill anyone who tries to take her.” Pete Smith was a halfMexican part time miner and wood chopper known to make his camp in Devil’s Canyon. As they were nearing the woodcutter’s camp, they met an older Mexican man who warned them not to go to the camp as “they are all drunk up there and you’ll be killed.” Brown replied “Never mind, I am not afraid.” It was starting to get warmer as they headed further into the rugged canyon. But the day’s heat would be the least of Brown’s worries. (See next month’s Nugget for the conclusion of this story.)

Oracle salon offers the jewelry obsessed a chance to do it yourself By Jennifer R. Carnes My obsession with jewelry I blame entirely on my grandmother. She had the best job in the world, I thought. For as long as I can remember until she retired, she worked for Cubitto’s Jewelry in Safford. I loved visiting her at work. It was a girl’s dream to look at all the wonderfully shiny objects. Birthdays and Christmas was the best. Grandma always had something pretty wrapped up for us in small packages. When I went to college, a friend of mine invited me to a brand new bead store that had opened across the street from our favorite coffee shop.
The Golden Goose Thrift Shop
Oh my goodness! What fun playing with all those shiny things! No more just looking! I could touch these pretty things. I didn’t really get into beading until I was out of college (needed a paying job to afford all those play pretties). When I did, I discovered the wonderful world of Swarovski crystals! Those are the shiniest. I started with bracelets. Crystals come in so many colors; I had a bracelet for every outfit. Earlier this year I discovered the joy of making my own rings using wire and beads, buttons, crystals and more. Such fun! So when I was tasked with the job of photographing some jewelry at Jules Salon in Oracle for an ad, I got excited again! I didn’t understand at first what “build
your own charm jewelry” entailed. Let me tell you - it was a jewelry obsessionist’s dream come true. Julie Riley, owner of Jules Salon, has partnered up with local jewelry artisan Cherie Mossie to bring jewelry design to the not necessarily artistic masses! The only requirement is that it appeals to you. Julie has a charm for everyone: Religious, Steampunk, Victorian, occupational, and just plain pretty! She has charms in pretty much all the metals: copper, gold, brass and silver. Don’t want a traditional bracelet? How about an anklet or a necklace? She has chains in many sizes and many different price points. She even has some one of a kind beads crafted locally by Cherie’s sister Karen.
Don’t want to make it yourself? Cherie has put together some pieces that are available for purchase. I briefly considered a pair of earrings that had a great Steampunk flavor, but got distracted with a lady’s watch and a beautiful rose art bead. I’ve always considered myself a totally silver gal, but I have to say, the antique gold of the watch and bead setting tempted me. I have to admit that I left the “photo session” with a new bracelet and plans to return for more charms. (Shhh, don’t tell my husband!) Jules Salon is located at 1675 West American Avenue in Oracle. Her hours are Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment.G INtheLE Stop by and check outEall T R LAB A beautiful charms. CMake AIa AVme. bracelet. You’ll thank
