Techniques That Use The Feet, Part 2 Last month we examined the pros and cons of using the feet as a weapon. This month I want to be more specific regarding the various parts of the foot used for striking and the different areas of the attackers’ body that are vulnerable when struck. For the purposes of this discussion, I will not expound upon the use of the feet against targets higher that the waist or the dangers and consequences involved with kicks to the groin. Strikes: proper contact with the correct part of the foot is necessary for a successful outcome. There are two main types of kicks, snap kicks and thrust kicks.
A snap kick has a quick extension and retraction. Its primary goal is speed to and from the target. A thrust kick lingers just a bit longer on its journey through the target. Its primary function is powerful penetration of the target. The parts of the foot that are useful during the execution of either type of kick include the following: the ball of the foot, the heel of the foot, the outer edge of the foot, and the instep or top of the foot. Some skilled practitioners can also use the arch, sole or even the toes. Targets: Proper contact with the desired target is also necessary for a successful outcome.
Stomps to the feet with the heel can be very effective, particularly on the pinky toe side. Ankle strikes with the ball of the foot can knock an attacker off his feet. Raking the shin with the edge of foot and striking the shin with the edge or ball of the foot is painful because there is very little padding over bone. The knee is a vulnerable joint with a properly placed front (ball) or side (edge) kick. The interior (femoral nerve area) and the exterior (peroneal nerve area) of the thigh are large, accessible targets. Strikes to the lower limbs are difficult to block and can affect the attacker’s mobility. That can certainly

Following in the footsteps of his Third and Fifth, the Seventh is dramatic, exciting and is always stimulating to musicians and audiences alike.

of Haydn and Mozart to the Romantic symphonies of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms and even Mahler. There are several descriptive labels for this symphony but I choose to use mine, Rhythmic. Beethoven used no label other than No. 7. Starting with the first of four movements, the “rhythm symphony” has a long 62 measure introduction in a moderate but not slow 4 time. There are two themes and several key changes and the final six bars show the genius of Beethoven as he modulates the rhythm into a vivace two time and the
Linus Lerner listener is unaware until after the fact. The sonata form first movement then progresses with two themes, development, recapitulation, and a coda.. The “da-ta-dut, da-ta-dut” rhythm will prevail and in those places where it is absent, the listener will keep expecting its’ return. Beethoven also inserts short periods of silence to great effect. The 61 measure coda finale has the brasses and timpani insuring that the “da-ta-dut” rhythm and home key of A major are

victorious. Movement II, usually a slow chapter, is not slow in this work although some conductors drag it out which is not what Beethoven intended as it would ruin the rhythm concept. Three things to listen for are: two themes in two time, counterpoint which is melody underneath a major melody, and a fugue (like a round – think Row-RowRow Your Boat). The ending is in A minor. Presto is the marking for a 3/4 time, taken one beat to the bar, to open Movement III. Contrasts abound as in loudness, scales, and phrases of suspense. Being A-B-A-B-A in design, the B section is a trio much slower but still in one to the bar. Following an 8 measure build up in a syncopated two time there is a big theme for full orchestra(tutti) upon a sustained A in trumpets and timpani. Everything repeats and the closing bars features 4 measures of the B theme followed by 5 terminal “shots.” The final movement is a See Symphony, Page 15

Taylor’s Take: Carol’s Attic in Globe, or Rustic Goodness
By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter I rolled up to Carol’s Attic in Globe during one of the recent cold snaps and was warmed immediately by the woman within. YES, it was cold, but we immediately bonded over how cold it
was outside and that got us off to a good start. I immediately noticed that this was the type of shop that you could spend hours in. Hours. This shop is chock—and
I do mean CHOCK—full of all sorts of knick knacks, old signs, cool cars, etc. Carol DuBois has just about everything stuffed in this little shop of hers. She has been in the business just over two years and fell into
it sort of by chance. Her husband had the property which he used to restore cars and what not…yet Carol, through her love of antiques had collected enough that she needed a place to put it all and thus the shop was born. “I just love being around the old stuff,” she laughingly said, and it definitely shows through the wide variety that she has collected. Being in her shop is like walking through a history lesson and I would venture to say that there is some part
of history that would appeal to everyone. Carol transplanted to the Phoenix area from Rayston, Texas, when she was in high school and she has been in the Globe area for the past nine years. It is easy to see that her shop has been a labor of love for her and it is easy to understand that the items in the shop are all handpicked by Carol, since they were once part of her incredible collection. Carol explained her love of antiquing and she did so with a tinge of
that lovely Texas drawl that seems to have rooted itself in her speech. She seems like the type of woman who could talk about the history of an item for a good hour and give the probable buyer loads of interesting information on something. This is one of the things that make antiques so fascinating…they had a long life before they ever came into your possession and that is just too cool. I am definitely a big fan of watching Antiques Roadshow and just about dying when the piddly little peddle car that looks like it is worth less than $3 ends
up being worth $130,000. (My favorite Roadshow moment to date happened when I was watching one night with my mother and grandmother. On the screen came an ugly glass goose and my grandmother leaned over her scotch and told us, “I had one of those, it was my mother’s…ugliest thing ever; I gave it to Dolores Whatsoever. I think she broke it,” and we went right back to watching the show. It should have been telling that they waited until the end of the show to announce that the goose was incredibly rare by an artist from France, that
there were four known in existence and it was worth $360,000. Needless to say, my grandmother looked at us a little sheepishly and said, “Ohh Boo on that!” and we all ended that show with a bit of a sour taste in our mouths.) Another thing that is so cool about antiques, they can look like nothing, have so much history and then end up being worth bundles. It was news to me that the
Page 9
Nugget
old Coke machine my grandfather has in his office, the very one I used to kick to get my soda, was worth upwards of $14,000. I very nearly swallowed the fresh cough drop I was sucking on. That would have been just plain awkward. Carol’s shop has a wonderfully verdant selection of Americana, definitely the place to stop if you are looking to add See Attic, Page 12

I am not going to lie, I was super stoked. It looked like a Coke my grandfather might have purchased when just a lad of nine years. I then explained my love of soda bottles from around the world, starting with the Coke bottle that I smuggled back from Tangier, Morocco and kept lovingly on display at my desk to hold a grouping of flowers or incense.

Memories of 70 Years In The Same House April 16, 1941 my parents got the first utility bill in their new home. A couple of months earlier my Mom and Dad had purchased the lot up at the end of Van Winkle Canyon in Lower Miami for $50 -$20 down and $10 or $15 every payday until it was paid for. And every payday my Dad would buy as much lumber as he could afford and began remodeling an old shack that came with the lot. It was on the toe of a hill that came down the canyon and had been the time office for Miami Copper Company when they were driving tunnels in 1927 through the

KIDS COME FIRST
The whole lot was a hillside so right off the bat my Dad was digging the caliche – gila conglomerate, a low grade natural cement full of rocks. He leveled enough for the house and a driveway for the ’36 Chevy coupe they owned – and continued digging for the next 25 years or so. And as soon as I was big enough to handle a pick and shovel, I was digging on the hill That’s where I learned drilling and blasting. Using hand steel and either a 4-pound hammer for single jacking or an 8-pound hammer to double jack, we’d drive a hole in the hill. My dad wasn’t a patient man but teaching me to double jack brought something out in him. I would rather hold the steel and let him swing the hammer – and he didn’t miss. But he made me swing the hammer also, while he held the steel. I was really nervous, afraid of hitting his hand with the hammer, and a couple of times I did – and an amazing thing happened: my Dad didn’t get mad at me! That was just part of learning how to double jack and with bloodied knuckles we just kept at it. Then my Dad would load the hole with a black powder cartridge he made. He’d
wrap a sheet of newspaper around a broom handle, about 10 inches long, and wrap that with black electrical tape, pull it off and fill it with black powder, tape about three feet of fuse into it and carefully tamp it into the hole we’d drilled. It would loosen the caliche and make it much easier to pick. In 1947 when Inspiration started their open pit and were blasting a lot, my Dad started bringing home a few sticks of dynamite in his lunch bucket – the blasting foreman would let him have it along with a few blasting caps and fuse (can you imagine doing that today?!) There was a learning curve switching from black powder to dynamite – my Dad wasn’t sure how much to use, so the first time he just put one stick in a hole about four feet deep in the hill. It was about three feet off the ground and he leaned the wheelbarrow up against it to catch any fly rock. Well, it turned out a whole stick was about twice as much as he needed and it blew the wheelbarrow clear across the yard. From then on we loaded a half stick of dynamite. After a few years the leveled lot was pretty big and my folks would have
big yard parties and a couple of dozen of their friends would come over and they’d grill steaks and the beer and mixed drinks would flow freely. My Dad passed away in 1989, his hill finally dug away to his property line We had a smaller version of the old yard parties a week ago – an open house Saturday afternoon to celebrate Mom living in the same house 70 years. A bunch of my Mom’s old friends and a few of my classmates from the Miami High School Class of 1955 showed up and a few of us recalled the yard parties my folks used to have. Back then half the people at the party would be smoking (interestingly, nobody was smoking at the party last week) and being of the age when I wanted to be grown up, I was learning to smoke. My job after the folks had one of their yard parties was to clean up the next morning. I didn’t mind a bit because I got to salvage all the cigarette butts, carefully sorting through the ash trays for the longest butts. My friend Billy Short, who lived up the canyon a couple of hills to the east, would come over and we’d go up toward the tunnels and light up.
Being sort of inventive, I had contrived a cigarette holder from a 30-06 shell with a carved wooden mouth piece (did you know a cigarette is .30 caliber?) with some cotton filter inside the shell. I stuck one of my salvaged cigarette butts into the holder and took a puff and – holy smoke! It was amazingly cool! I mean the smoke didn’t burn at all! I handed it to Billy to take a puff and he was as astounded as I was. We had really discovered something here! We finished that cigarette, smoked clear down to the filter, and fitted another salvaged butt into our amazing new cigarette holder – and tasted the same old burning tobacco flavor. What had gone wrong? We didn’t figure it out until a few weeks later when we discovered the first cigarette we’d tried was a Kool, a menthol cigarette. We were used to Camel, Lucky Strike, Chesterfield or Pall Mall and had never heard of menthol. Almost 95 years old, Mom still lives in the old house and keeps it and the yard immaculate. We visit a lot and look at the hill and recall Dad and I digging on it. Lots of memories.

for General Motors in Flint and Saginaw, Michigan from 1972 to 1983. Arizona became his home in 1983. After retiring, Randy had a few bad experiences with car repair places. Having been a lifelong car guy, he had always wanted to provide a place where people could get their car serviced competently and honestly. He wanted to take the fear out of auto repair. Catalina Automotive has been around since the mid 1980s. In 2003 Randy Ford and his partner reopened it. Randy’s partner Dan Gill moved to Willcox in 2005 and opened his own automotive facility. In 2007 the facility was moved to its present location at 16400 North Oracle Road in Catalina. Randy has seen business sales grow ev-
ery year even in the poor economy. Randy attributes the success of Catalina Automotive to their philosophy of providing a place where people are treated honestly. They do not try to oversell work and keep the customer involved in the decisions about their vehicle. “We try to be the place we would like to come to, a place where a single mother or senior citizen can come in and be treated with respect, a place that takes care of people like they are part of your family,” he said. “We provide quick fixes and good customer service.” The result has been a lot of repeat customers because they like the service. “We have a huge following in SaddleBrooke,” Randy said.
The motto of Catalina Automotive is “service with integrity.” Catalina Automotive is three businesses in one. They have a drive-through fast Lube Shop, full service maintenance and repair shop and a used car sales area. The Lube Shop provides basic oil changes and other lube services. No appointment is necessary and if you are in a hurry, they can get you done quickly. The maintenance and repair area has six bays and their ASE-certified technicians provide top service at reasonable prices. They sell tires and carry all major brands. If they do not have the tire you want in stock they can have it for you within 24 hours. The small used auto sales dealership sells cars and trucks.
“My market has always been good used vehicles,” Randy said. “We are more like mechanics that sell cars.” The vehicles at Catalina Automotive receive more conditioning and service than your average dealership. They sell all makes and models focusing on domestic and Asian models that are reliable, well known and cost effective. These are reliable cars at affordable prices. “We sell a lot of Chevys, a lot of Fords ” said Randy. There are 15 to 20 quality used vehicles available each month. Local financing and extended service contracts are available. For more information or to schedule an appointment call the Catalina Automotive Center at (520) 825-8887.
