By John Hernandez Rick Freedman opened up his first Picazzo’s nine years ago in Sedona, Arizona. Rick had been a high-end home builder when the housing market went bad. He always had a passion for cooking and decided to open a restaurant. Shortly after opening he added a gluten free menu. They went organic one year ago serving organic healthy versions of Italian dishes without the additional expense associated with organic food. For those of you

unfamiliar with “gluten free,” gluten is a protein composite found in wheat, barley, and rye grains. For more than two million people with celiac disease, eating these grains must be avoided at all costs. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that is caused by the protein gluten. There are an even larger amount of people that are gluten intolerant or allergic to wheat products. Gluten free allows these people to eat bread, pasta and pizza without the worry of getting ill.

Picazzo’s: Healthy eating and more “My background and knowledge of being able to put together organic recipes that are gluten free makes for healthier eating,” Rick said. Rick became aware of celiac disease and gluten after talking with three ladies at the place he routinely got his hair cut. One girl had celiac disease and the other two were gluten intolerant. They asked him when his restaurant in Sedona was going to offer gluten free dishes. After a chance encounter with Tom Sawyer of Tom Sawyer Gluten Free Products, Rick started experimenting with gluten-free flour for their pizza dough. Now Picazzo’s may be the only restaurant in the country that makes fresh daily gluten free dough. The flour is now the base of their pizza dough, pastas, breads and desserts. This flour allows them to cook classic dishes that retain the texture and flavors of

their organic wheat and whole grain counterparts on the menu. Harvest quinoa pasta is available as well as a rice flour based pasta. They have an extensive gluten free menu that includes pizza by the slice, pastas, salads, desserts and even gluten free beer and vodka in the bar. Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen now has six locations in Arizona including their newest restaurant in Oro Valley. The Oro Valley restaurant is located at 7850 North Oracle Road. They are in the same shopping plaza as Trader Joe’s on Magee and Oracle Road. Picazzo’s serves the finest natural ingredients in their dishes that money can buy. They serve hormone and nitrate free meats, free-range chicken, wild seafood, organic and natural cheeses, fresh vegetables and nuts. They have partnered with Queen Creek Olive Oil

and Stanley’s Home Made Sausage Company as well as many local farmers to bring their customers the freshest natural products available. Their menu will please meat lovers, vegetarians or vegan diners with its array of organic fare. The bar has a fine selection of wines including a variety of organic, vegan and sulfite free red and whites. There is a good variety of imported and craft beers both bottled and draft as well as domestic available. Cocktails and signature creation drinks are made with organic and natural ingredients. Only fresh

squeezed fruit juices are used. “Happy Hour” is daily from 3 to 6 p.m. During happy hour, all drinks, glasses of wine, and beer are $1 off. Bottles and carafes of wine are $5 off. Happy hour is not just limited to the bar. You can enjoy it inside the restaurant as well as out on the patio. Five dollar food plates are available such as baked chicken wings, meatball sliders and baked artichoke bottoms filled with spinach and artichoke dip and baked with mozzarella cheese served with celery, carrot sticks and gluten-free foccacia bread. Picazzo’s has some paintings of local artists on their walls. A motto above their kitchen reads “Picazzo’s where pizza is art.” There is even a huge wall painting that reminds you of the style of the famous artist Pablo Picasso and includes his portrait in the picture. The restaurant has a monthly drawing contest for kids 12 and under. When families dine in the restaurant, the kids are given a menu with a “Draw Yourself at Picazzo’s”

Getting close enough to intimidate and overwhelm the victim is a tactic that unfortunately works all too well. Like a boxer who clinches when hurt or tired, your best defense will require you to do the opposite of what is a normal reaction. Instinc-tively you will want step back and create distance between you and your attacker. Initially, that makes perfect sense. How-ever, by moving backward while the attacker is mov-ing forward, you remain in range for his repeated assault. It would be like trying to outrun the winds of a hurricane. Instead, remember that the eye of the hurricane is where the winds are calm. Like the boxer, get in close and tie up his arms. How does one tie up an attacker’s arms? It is not by reaching out and attempting to grab his arms. That fl ailing ap-proach will fail. During any threat or ac-tual assault, it is essential to be alert and immedi-ately get into a defensive posture. To do that, you simply place your feet wider apart and bring your hands up in front of you. Maintaining this “plow like” position will help reduce the effect of his blows. As he tries to domi-nate the confl ict, you must move in and let your hands not only block, but wrap around the attacker’s arms. Grabbing at or above the elbow is best, but if you have latched on to any part of the arm, keeping hold-ing on to it. Next month I’ll tell you what to do next. Mr. Weber is the chief

name of a Spoon song…which is an incredible song, by the way…but it also happens to be

Kearny woman turns hobby into business; something that Quinna Borden does frequently. So? Yeah yeah, I know most people can turn their cameras on and go click, but Quinna happens to do this really really well. While taking a picture is easy, sometimes knowing how to make them look incredible is not so easy. Case in point: I met Quinna while I was shooting pictures of Ray High School’s 2011 Graduation and I was dogged with the fact that I had a small aperture lens with low lighting. She gave me great tips from her experience of how to get a better, crisper end result, since what I was getting was not so crisp, rather jiggly to be honest. I was sort of thrown into the whole ‘photographer’ thing, since I was hired to be a reporter and needed a camera and my

fiance saw this as the perfect excuse to go spend some dough on a nice camera. Basically I have a nice camera, can point and shoot and occasionally nice pictures result from this action. I know the basics of filling the frame with the subject of the picture and what not but that’s not a whole lot when it comes to a spectacular photo. I by no

means consider myself to be a real photographer…this is where Quinna comes in, I would love to have even a fraction of the level of experience that she has. Quinna has been shooting pictures and boning up her skills for just over eight years; as a stay-at-home mom, photography provided her with a wonderful outlet and hobby and you can

tell from her work that she has worked diligently to perfect her style. It’s absolutely true that you do not need a photographer for everyday life, but I think it is reasonable to say that you probably need a photographer for special occasions like weddings, Christmas cards, family portraits, senior portraits, and more. My father is a photographer and he even gets a little muddled doing family portraits…I have this great memory of Dad trying to round us all up during a family trip, getting us all positioned correctly, setting up his tripod and what not, setting the timer and then there is this succession of several shots of his behind as he ran back to the group…not like three, like 20. Twenty oddly timed pictures where Dad hadn’t quite made it back in time, was in mid-stride, pictures of him darting around the group because he took the wrong route around our massive family. The couple that he did make it back in time are an assortment of everyone looking off in the distance because they weren’t aware the timer had run down or ones where Dad certainly made it back but didn’t get positioned in time so while everyone else is visible and smiling, only a third of his face is showing…great pictures like that. Having a professional photographer take meaningful pictures helps enormously; not that my Dad isn’t a fantastic photographer, one of the best I know, but things are a little different when you are part of the pictures you are taking. Pro-photographers just know how to get people to smile, they know how to adjust elements to make a picture even more beautiful; due to their experience, they generally know many different settings for photos that you would not have even thought of. This is why Quinna rocks. She would rather build a relationship with the person/couple/family that she is shooting, rather than just have a client-customer interaction. This way she gets a better feeling for the personalities she is working with and thus it can become

photography great for ‘stay at home mom’a working relationship. For instance, she would shoot a family portrait one summer and then five years down the road she could be photographing one of the children for their graduation portrait and a few years after that possibly a wedding announcement and so on. She said she would rather have a few clients she knows really well than a large list of people she knows nothing about. She would rather get to know the people that she is working with, it becomes a better experience for everyone involved. “It’s more fun that way,” she laughed. I was very lucky to be able to spend graduation working with Quinna. She is very easy going, very knowledgeable and an absolute hoot to hang out with. She has one of those wonderful personalities that are magnetic and you just simply want to become her friend. Not going to lie, we became friends after hanging out for an hour. Quinna is what you would call a Boutique photographer, she specialized in portraits of graduates and families, but she also does a large range of photography including commercial, weddings, group/team sports photos, simply run your idea by her and she’ll probably be down to do it. In fact, she even offers boudoir photography for ladies wanting to give their loved one something spicy, yet very tasteful. When I spoke to her, she was gearing up to shoot some pictures of custom jewelry for a client. Her range of talent is incredibly vast and beyond this

she offers a loads of different products from big image gallery wraps to graduation announcements to Christmas cards, the list is extensive. One of her newer products are metal prints, where the photographic image is printed on metal and is similar to a gallery

wrap. She even has beautiful still life photography available for purchase. Being based in Kearny, she is happy to travel to take your picture; there would be no charge for the Kearny-Hayden-Winkelman area; beyond this she would charge to cover her

gas, since it’s definitely no longer cheap. If you are interested in having your own awesome experience with Quinna resulting in incredible and last images, get in contact with her for additional info and rates. Her

phone number is 520-576-0466; her email is [email protected]; her website is http://quinnabordenphotography.com/; and her Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/QuinnaBordenPhotography for fans and http://www.facebook.

com/quinnabordenphotos for friends. Watch for her upcoming Etsy page. I guarantee she and her photography are worth your notice, the memories she will be able to convey for you are timeless.

By John Hernandez The area we know as the Copper Corridor has a noted and interesting history. The pre-historic Indian tribes, the Spanish exploration, Apache Wars, cattle ranches, miners, cowboys, gamblers and the United States Cavalry have all been a part of our areas history. Famous names in western lore such as Geronimo, the Apache Kid, Al Sieber, General Crook, Pearl Hart, Buffalo Bill Cody

and many other are a part of the Copper Corridor’s history. Even the “bloodiest day in Arizona’s history,” the Camp Grant massacre took place near where the San Pedro River and Aravaipa Creek meet. We can add the name of one of the west’s most famous gunmen to the historical lore of our area, William H. Bonney alias Billy the Kid, although when he passed through the Copper Corridor he

Billy the Kid rode through the was known as Henry Antrim. Like much of the legend of Billy the Kid, there are confl icting stories about his life. This includes how and why he ended up in Arizona. In September of 1974, Billy’s mother Catherine McCarty died of tuberculosis in Silver City, New Mexico. Henry McCarty as Billy was known then and his brother Joseph lived with their stepfather William Antrim for a short while. William then farmed the brothers out to friends of Catherine. Around this time the 14 year old Henry started getting into minor trouble with the law. Later he met a man named George Schaefer known as Sombrero Jack and helped him break into a laundry business owned by Chinese immigrants. They stole clothes, blankets and

two six-guns. A few days later Henry was arrested for the crime and put in jail. Sombrero Jack had wisely left town. A few days later Henry was let out of his cell to exercise. He was placed in the corridor of the jailhouse. The deputies then locked the outside doors of the jail and left him by himself. When they returned a half hour later, he was gone. It turned out that the skinny kid had climbed up the chimney and escaped. Henry left Silver City and never returned. He would head west for the Arizona Territory. There are a lot of stories about how Henry made his way to Arizona from Silver City. Mrs. Mary Casey was one of Henry’s teachers. She said that Henry showed up at the Knight Ranch where she was staying. The ranch was 15 miles southwest of Silver City. She claimed that she loaned him a horse so he could ride back to Silver City and turn himself in. Chauncey Truesdell said that his mother, a friend of Henry’s mother let Henry hide out at her home for the night. The next day she put him on a stagecoach to Arizona. She gave him some money and some food for his journey. Another story says that Henry hid in a small sawmill in the mountains above Silver City for a time. He then stole a horse and fl ed to Arizona. This would have been quite a journey for a 15 year old boy to make on horseback by himself in the west of the 1870s. The Apaches were on the warpath in the area as well as lawless Americans and Mexican bandits roaming the hills and desert that lay between New Mexico and Arizona. It is believed that Henry traveled to the mining town of Clifton, Arizona. It was said that Henry’s stepfather William Antrim was working there. He did not stay there long. One

Copper Corridorstory says that William gave Henry all the money he had and told him to keep running. Another tale says that William rejected him and said he did not want anything to do with him. Henry headed southwest from Clifton and ended up in Camp Grant (Fort Grant), a military outpost at the foot of the Graham Mountains. While there and for the rest of his stay in Arizona, he became known as Henry Antrim. Soon he would be called Kid Antrim. Henry found work at Henry C. Hooker’s Sierra Bonito Rancho for a short while. It was there he picked up the nickname “Kid” probably because of his frail and youthful appearance. Henry was considered a “lightweight” and could not keep up with the cowboys and the hard work at the ranch. He was let go and returned to Camp Grant. There he found a job as a cook at the Hotel de Luna. Miles L. Wood managed the hotel. He was also a notary public and Justice of the Peace. As civilian help was hard to come by, Miles hired Henry offering him a small salary, room and board. Once again the job did not last long. The Kid wasn’t much of a cook and he soon found himself hanging around with an unsavory bunch of thieves. Miles Wood recalled in 1911 that Henry “got to running with a gang of rustlers, this place (Hotel de Luna) was the headquarters of the gang.” Henry had become acquainted with John Mackie, an ex-soldier and a known member of a gang of horse thieves that operated between Tucson and the Salt River. Mackie recruited Henry into the gang and soon Henry was helping him prey on the soldiers from Camp Grant. Mackie and Henry knew that the soldiers liked to visit the saloons and brothels in the civilian settlement near

Camp Grant. While the soldiers were inside the establishments, Henry and Mackie would steal the saddles and saddle blankets off their horses. On occasion they would steal the horses and hide them until they could find a buyer. On November

17, 1876 Henry stole the horse of First Sergeant Lewis C. Hartman. A few days later, Major Charles E. Compton, Camp Grant Commanding Officer ordered Hartman and four other soldiers to pursue the thief. The five soldiers

followed Henry’s tracks through the Aravaipa Valley. They talked to ranchers, farmers, herdsmen and Indians along the way. Henry’s trail went into the mountainous area near Continued on Page 11

…that the wonderfully poignant name of Six Shooter Canyon and thus Six Shooter Canyon Road comes from the fact that this certain canyon was notorious for DANGER! In the late 1800s there was an active sawmill and timber camp located in the canyon. So the story goes that if you were heading up to the timber camps, you absolutely needed to outfi t yourself with a six-shooter to ward off any unsavory human kind and beyond that the painful death at the hands (read: paws) of some gigantic wild animal along the likes of a bear or cougar. As you drive along Six Shooter Canyon Road, you will see offshoot roads under the names of Remington and Winchester, lending credence to many of the guns carried at one point in the canyon. Six Shooter Canyon rests in the gorgeous Tonto National Forest and is accessible via Six Shooter Canyon Road; once on the dirt section of this winding road, you will fi nd yourself headed into the stark wilderness and begin to understand the need for outfi tting oneself with a fast-acting pistol. There is a diffi cult hike which winds up through the canyon right on to the top of Pinal Peak; it even heads past the emaciated remains of timber camp an sawmill. Hiking this trail might give you a taste of what it was like to load up and cruise up to the sawmill for a (true) hard day’s work. While this beautiful and wild canyon is open for recreation, there is still an abundance of wild animals, so if you are not taking a six-shooter with you, at least bring the Bear Mace.

the booming mining town of Globe City (present day Globe). On Nov. 25 the pursuing soldiers caught up with Kid Antrim on a trail leading to McMillan’s Camp, an illegal mining settlement on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. The Kid was riding the stolen horse. At gunpoint, the soldiers ordered Kid Antrim to dismount. They took the horse and began their journey back to Camp Grant leaving the Kid on foot. It is not known why they did not arrest, shoot or hang Kid Antrim. Maybe his youthful appearance garnered sympathy for him or they felt leaving him on foot in Apache territory was punishment enough. Kid Antrim made his

way unharmed to Globe City. The town was growing rapidly and had at least a dozen saloons and brothels. The Kid met up with John Mackie in Globe City. In between playing poker, faro and monte in the saloons, he and Mackie started stealing horses again. The Kid and Mackie stole three horses from Cotton Spring which was known for its cool fresh water. The victims were once again soldiers although this time from Camp Thomas (Fort Thomas) on the Gila River. A complaint by the Army Continued on Page 12

Northwest Hospital Medical Plaza1980 W. Hospital Dr., Suite 311

was filed at Camp Grant with Justice of the Peace Miles Wood. This time he

wrote out an arrest warrant charging “Henry Antrim alias Kid” with horse theft. Wood was aware of Kid Antrim frequenting the Globe City area. He sent

a copy of the warrant and a picture drawing of Kid Antrim to the constable there. Henry was arrested by the Constable and transported as far as Cedar Springs before managing to get away. About a month later the Kid and Mackie showed up at Camp Grant. They were seated in the Hotel de Luna preparing to have breakfast. Miles Wood saw them and decided to serve them himself. He put their breakfast on a tray and brought it to their table. In one of his hands underneath the tray he held a pistol. He set the tray on the table and showed them the gun while ordering them to raise their hands. Miles and another man then walked them to the Camp Grant jail. The Kid attempted to

escape while at the jail. Wood had a blacksmith by the name of Francis Cahill rivet shackles on the Kid’s ankles and wrists. Cahill was also known as “Windy” for being boisterous and telling tall tales. He was also known as a bully and had teased and picked on Henry Antrim before. Somehow that evening Kid Antrim managed to slip out of his cuffs and escape. He stole a horse and headed toward Fort Thomas. He found work at a hay camp owned by H.F. “Sorghum” Smith. Smith contracted to sell hay to the Army. Henry was 17 now but it was said he only looked 14. He received $40 in advanced pay from Smith and went to the trading post where he bought a six gun, belt,

holster and cartridges. He worked cutting hay until the summer. He then returned to Camp Grant probably feeling a little “cocky” because he had managed to escape the

law every time he was captured. One hot August evening he entered Adkin’s Cantina. It was there that he ran into Windy Cahill and an argument ensued. Windy called the Kid a “pimp” and the Kid called Windy a “son of a bitch.” They then started fighting. Windy was much stouter than the Kid and threw him down three times. The fight spilled out into the street where Windy took Kid Antrim down, and while holding the Kid’s arms with his knees began to slap him. The Kid managed to free his gun hand. He reached his gun and pressed it up to Windy’s stomach and pulled the trigger. Windy slumped over and the Kid got up and ran to a hitching post where he grabbed a horse and rode quickly away. Windy died the next day. A coroner’s hearing was held and the killing was ruled criminal and unjustifiable. Kid Antrim fled to New Mexico and was never seen in the Arizona Territory again.
