I realize that it is easy to be cynical and place no trust in this modern world of ours, but I remember reading about Arthurian legends when I was a boy.

The tales of knights and their heroic deeds captured my imagination. Fantasies about adventure, protecting the weak, and “using might for right” appealed to me.

Perhaps, my interest in Martial Arts and police work was borne from those early seeds. It may seem

corny to say, but taking an oath and having your badge of offi ce pinned on your chest made one

feel like a modern knight. Receiving a black belt requires adherence to another knightly code, a Japanese one in this case. As I mentioned last month, the fi rst of the seven virtues in this warrior’s code is rectitude. Simply put, rectitude means to make right decisions and accompany them with right actions.In Japanese culture, an honorable man uses correct judgment in his dealings with others. Justice requires courage to right a wrong. Moral propriety, uprightness, decency, goodness, and probity are all synonyms of rectitude. Having the integrity to keep one’s principles incorruptible leads to respect and the recognition of good character.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) 825-8500 for information regarding these and other programs.

The Third Annual SaddleBrooke Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering will be held on Sat. Jan. 12, from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Desert View Performing Arts Center. The big stars of the night are returning poet Dave Stamey, Randy Rieman and featured guest star RW Hampton. The Al Mollenkopf-produced fundraising show, which benefi ts the SaddleBrooke Tucson Troop Support Group, has raised over $7,000 to help support active duty troops, their families and other Tucson veterans. Cowboy singer Dave Stamey, a big hit in previous years, is back as a headliner. Stamey is one of the best western songwriters alive today, known for his perfect blend of melody, lyric and engagement with his audience.

It’s been said one can almost feel the wind against their face and smell the soft scent of the sage as Stamey creates a rewarding journey through the panorama of the West. He has been called the Charley Russell of Western Music and it’s an apt description. Charles M. Russell was a gifted period artist who painted over 2,000 canvases of cowboys, Indians, and the landscape of the American West in the late 1800s and early 1900s, each done with emotional resonance and meticulous detail. What Russell is known to do on canvas, Stamey does with lyric and melody. His songs capture the life of the modern cowboy in a world of rapid transition, where some things change constantly, and some things never change at

Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering returning to SaddleBrooke Jan. 12

all. He has been a working cowboy, rancher, mule packer and dude wrangler, so he understands the territory, knows his audience, and is a rare combination of natural entertainer and astute businessman. His recorded work feels authentic, professional, culturally and historically accurate, but, not overly fussy. Among his many independently released albums are Buckaroo Man (1997), Tonopah (1999), Campfi re Waltz (2000), Wheels (2001), If I Had a Horse (2003), the live ‘It’s a State of Mind’ (2007), Old Friends (2007), and Come Ride with Me (2009). R.W. Hampton, one of the leading western entertainers in America, attracts fans from all walks of life. After twenty-two years in the entertainment business, Hampton is still pure cowboy, singing about what he loves best. Born to be a cowboy, he grew up in a Texas town, and lived and worked on ranches all over the American West. Whether driving cows, shoeing horses, singing around the campfi re, or leading horse rides in the high country, Hampton knew it was the life for which he was destined.

By John Hernandez Evans’ bullet missed Rapelji. Fred Jackson then stepped around Rapelji and fi red his gun. One of the bandits was seen to throw his arms up and fall backwards apparently wounded. Both sides began fi ring as rapidly as they could. The bandits retreated behind a pile of hay and manure as it was the only cover nearby. Although it gave Sontag and Evans cover, it did not stop the fusillade of bullets aimed at the haystack. Both of the train robbers lay on their bellies behind the pile. Sontag had been hit in the arm. Jackson went around to the rear of the house to see if he could get a better shot. Sontag spotted him and from his position fi red his shotgun, hitting Jackson in his left leg between the ankle and knee, shattering the leg bone. Jackson crawled back to the other posse members and told

them to keep fi ring and not to worry about him. He was taken out of the fi ght and lay helpless on the fl oor. The posse members fi red another volley into the haystack, this time hitting Sontag in the side. He was in great pain and bleeding badly. Rapelje and Burns went out of the cabin and attempted to circle around the bandits. Rapelje spotted Evans who appeared to be wounded crawling on his belly away from the haystack. He fi red on him and Evans took off running towards the woods. Rapelje chased him fi ring as he ran but did not pursue him into the woods as it was now dark. Over 40 shots were reported to have been fi red during the shootout which lasted about two hours. As no gunfi re came from the haystack, the posse kept watch waiting to shoot at anything that moved. Rapelje loaded Jackson on

a wagon and drove him to Visalia while Burns and Gard watched the hay stack. In the morning, reinforcements had arrived with Rapelji. George Witty, Sam Springley, and Constable William English had rode to the scene as well as E.M. Davidson, a photographer and Jo P. Carroll, a reporter. The posse spread out and

cautiously approached the haystack where they found Sontag buried in the hay with only his face showing. He was helpless and had lost a lot of blood. Evans had escaped although he was badly wounded. He had taken a bullet in one of his arms and had a bullet scrape his right eye brow that had taken out most of his

eye. He walked six miles to a cabin and asked the people for help. He was captured a

few days later at the cabin by local lawmen.

evolved and their remarkable talents are seen in many homes. You’ll be amazed at what the use of recycled materials and vivid imaginations can do. Today, Superior is making a comeback. The area copper mines are working multiple shifts and there’s a move afoot to attract new business to the area.

TourContinued from Page 3 He is known for his

patriotism, family values and Christian beliefs as much as for his rich baritone. His qualities resonate with cowboys, cowgirls, ranch hands, farmers and those who have never seen a cow, opening their minds up to a world of early mornings, hard work, rough horses, maverick cattle and the open range. Hampton has worked in three Kenny Rogers movies, included 1985’s Wild Horses, as well as numerous other films like The Tracker with

Kris Kristofferson. Along the way Hampton has performed all over the United States including The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. He has also appeared at cowboy events in the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. R.W. has thirteen albums to his credit over the past 20 years. His peers in the Western entertainment industry have honored his performing and songwriting fifteen times, perhaps most notably in Nov., 2011, when he was inducted into the Western Music Association’s Hall of Fame.

More can be learned about him on his website, RWHampton.com. Master reciter Randy Rieman is back in SaddleBrooke for a second time. He’s been a featured performer at events across the West, including the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV, and many other gatherings. My job is to deliver the poem in a manner worthy of the piece and to convey through the spoken words the way the piece feels to me on the inside,” Rieman says. “I try to visualize the story while I’m reciting. It’s a real privilege to share these great writers’ works with an audience. I am hopeful that the authors would approve of my efforts.” Rieman has made his living as a working cowboy and a horse trainer for the last 30 years. He started his cowboy career in Montana, and then moved to Nevada and California, spending several years working in each state. In 1994, he went to work for the Parker Ranch on the big island of Hawaii and spent the next nine years there starting colts and training stock horses. “I consider myself a reciter and not an entertainer or a poet,” Rieman says. “I do hope my recitations are entertaining and my goal is to deliver them as skillfully as possible. I feel that I am the messenger, not the message.” Ticket prices are set at $26 in advance or $30 at the door. Call 825-2818 or go to www.dypac.net for online tickets.

Sontag died while in jail from his wounds on July 3. Evan’s arm was amputated and he lost his right eye. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. He would escape from jail, wound an officer and rob another train with an accomplice before being captured again. He then went to prison where he stayed until being paroled in 1911. He would die in Oregon in 1917 having been banned from living in California. The hunt for and capture of Sontag and Evans was front page news in all of the California newspapers of the time and even made national news. Sontag and Evans became folk heroes. A popular theatrical play was performed telling their story. Evans’ wife and daughter performed in the play as themselves. Whenever they came out on stage they received a standing ovation from the audience. A few noted writers wrote stories portraying them as victims of the railroad corporations. Evans denied ever robbing a train and said he only killed in self-defense. As the Dalton gang was also robbing trains in the same area, Sontag and Evans may have been blamed for some of their robberies. The four men that captured the gang after many larger posses had failed were lauded as heroes. Burns gained notoriety for being a member of the posse that captured Sontag and Evans. He had survived two shootouts with the gang and ridden with Gard, Jackson and Rapelji, who were well known as man hunters and men of “true grit.” Marshal Gard received the $5,000 reward for the capture of John Sontag and split it with the posse members. An argument ensued over the reward for the arrest of Evans. Gard, Rapelje, Jackson and Burns said they deserved the reward because they had

wounded Evans so badly he couldn’t escape. Tulare County Undersheriff William Hall, Deputy George Witty and Elijah Perkins said they had captured Evans and therefore deserved the entire reward. The argument became so heated at times that when

they saw each other on the streets, threatening words were exchanged.The story will continue next month. And if you missed Parts 1 and 2, you can find them online at http://tinyurl.com/ctmb5ex. and http://bit.ly/UdYAPT.

By John Hernandez Sky Island Roasters is lo-cated at 1575 W. American Avenue. The business is owned and operated by Deb and Robert Breen. They have been in Oracle

over 10 years and Robert has been operating his land sur-veying and drafting business Environmental Field Services LLC. Sky Island Roasters was started by their daughter Me-

Heavenly aromas emanate from new coff ee roaster in Oraclelissa and her husband Beau Wilson, and has been operat-ing in Flagstaff for fi ve years. The Breens have been roast-ing coffee for four years and brought the fi ve-kilo roaster from Flagstaff to Oracle where they opened another Sky Island Roasters in Nov. “We are passionate about drinking and roasting coffee” said Robert. “Fresh roasted coffee is much more potent and pleasing to your palate.” Robert and Deb explained how coffee cherries are like wine grapes. Inside the cher-ries are the beans. Depending on the origin of where they are grown, they develop dif-ferent fl avors from the soil, climate, elevation and water. The Breens can custom roast and custom blend for those that are knowledgeable about their coffee. They have prepackaged coffees for sale or they can roast, grind and package fresh coffee in 20 to 30 minutes. Twelve to fi fteen varieties of unroasted beans are kept in stock. Some of the coffees they carry are Columbian, Brazil-ian, Guatemalan, Mexican Chiapas and Ethiopian Harrar Fair Trade Organic. A sub-scription service, which ships their coffee to customers’ homes or businesses, is also available. Their blends include their signature American Blend that consists of a fi nely roasted blend of Brazilian, Colombian and Guatemalan origin, a Sunrise Blend that is South American and/or Cen-tral American origin and an Espresso blend. These are roasted to a Full City plus roast (medium). They also have a Sumatran Decaf and Columbia Decaf. Sky Island Roasters uses a mountain water decaffeination process that keeps the coffee fl avors intact. No chemicals are used in the process.
