Sonoran Arts League Hosts New Event at Stagecoach
Village 80
local and nationally-acclaimed artists will exhibit and
sell contemporary and Western original art – Juried show
features live music, food, and artist demonstrations
(CAVE CREEK, Ariz.) – At a time when some arts
organizations are scaling back on events, the non-profit
Sonoran Arts League has added a new, juried art show to
its roster of events.
"Out West Art Fest"
is set forFriday, Saturday, and Sunday,
February 20, 21 & 22, 2009.
The new show takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at
Stagecoach Village, 7100 E. Cave Creek Road, in Cave
Creek, but the Western setting by no means indicates the
type of art that will be exhibited.
"We are excited to showcase a mix of both contemporary
and Western artists," said Michelle Russell, event
chair. "Patrons to "Out West Art Fest" will have the
chance to view and purchase high caliber, original
pieces created by more than 80 local and
nationally-acclaimed painters, sculptors, jewelers, wood
and glass artists, photographers, and artists working
with mixed media."
Fine Art and Live Music
The event also includes live music, food, and artist
demonstrations. Jazz duoDave Kenney and James
Russell of the group
Mood Indigo
will entertain the crowd from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturday, February 21. Story

later, win a little more.— Louis L’Amour
When you tug at a single thing in nature,
you find it attached to the rest of the
world. — John Muir
Laughter is the sun that drives
winter from the human face. — Victor
Hugo
”Whatever you give a
woman, she will make
greater.”
If you give her sperm,
she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house,
she'll give you a home.
If you give her
groceries, she'll give
you a meal.
If you give her a smile,
she'll give you her
heart.
She multiplies and
enlarges what is given
to her.
So, if you give her any
crap, be ready to
receive a ton of shit.

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is

Guilty By Maripat

catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty." Native Trails January 9

Give a Lincoln for Lincoln: History™ Announces a
National Initiative for Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
Abraham Lincoln
(February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was
the 16th President of the United States.
He successfully led the
country through its greatest internal
crisis, the American Civil War,
preserving the Union and ending slavery.
As the war was drawing to a close,
Lincoln became the
first American president to be
assassinated. Before his election in
1860 as the first Republican
president, Lincoln had been a lawyer, an
Illinois state legislator, a member of
the United States
House of Representatives, and twice an
unsuccessful candidate for election to
the Senate.
History™ together with the Abraham
Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, will
feature a National Teach-In
on Lincoln on Thursday, February 12th,
2009 at 1:30pm EST. Educators and
students nationwide can
tune-in to view this LIVE webcast.
Registration is now open for this event
online at
http://www.history.com/lincoln/.
Visit this site today to sign up and to
learn more about this exciting
online event featuring historians Doris
Kearns Goodwin, Harold Holzer, and
Matthew Pinsker.
Do your students have questions about
Lincoln? Send them to History at
Lincoln@aetn.com and tune-in to see
if one of these questions is
picked to be answered by historians
during the live webcast! Many of
these questions will also be answered by
Lincoln experts after the
event.

The
true story of the trek the most intrepid posse of the
Old West
Famous Posse Races After Killer of Dodge City Singer
The true story of the trek the most intrepid posse of
the Old West ventured on in pursuit of a reckless
gunslinger is the subject of a new book entitled Thunder
Over the Prairie. Thunder Over the Prairie rides into
bookstores in June 2009.
The year was 1878. Future legends of the Old West—lawmen
Charlie Bassett, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and Bill
Tilghman—patrolled the unruly streets of Dodge City,
Kansas, then known as “the wickedest little city in
America.” When a cattle baron fled town after allegedly
shooting the popular dancehall girl Dora Hand, these
four men—all sharpshooters who knew the surrounding
harsh, desert-like terrain—hunted him down, it was said,
like “thunder over the prairie.” The posse’s legendary
ride across the desolate landscape to seek justice
influenced the men’s friendship, careers, and feelings
about the justice system. This account of that event,
written by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss, is a
fast-paced, unforgettable glimpse into the Old West. Story

4th Tucson Old West Round-Up & Auction
"Gem Show" Cowboy Style
The true "Gems" of the Old West are its diverse
heritage; the people, the terrain, the natural
resources. Stagecoaches, mighty Indian Chiefs, Gun
Fights, the Cavalry and even the stars of Hollywood have
covered this Saguaro filled desert. The colorful
influence of Cowboys, Indians and the Vaquero will be
celebrated at the 4th Tucson Old West
Round-Up.
The Old West Round-Up, loaded with old west
collectibles, antiques, jewelry, beadwork, vintage
firearms, hats, spurs, saddles, bits and rugs will draw
hundreds of professional buyers and western
enthusiasts. This ongoing and widely traveled trade
show has proven to be a favorite of the Southwest.
Join us at the Pima Country Fairgrounds, Thurber Hall
for the 4th Tucson Old West Round-Up & Auction, a
sale of Western & Indian collectibles, January 30-
February 1, 2009. Purveyors of Old West Americana will
travel from as far east as Arkansas and from the
northern Dakota & Montana territories.
The quality of items will match anything offered,
anywhere. We’ve built a reputation for that. It’s an
opportunity for the serious collector or novice, even
folks looking for western style furnishings for their
homes, to purchase that long searched-for treasure.
The Round-Up clearly shows that the Old West,
Cowboys, Indians, and Vaqueros, is alive far beyond the
legend and lore. Henry’s rifles, 1873 Winchester
repeaters and just about any other “tool of the trade”
will be for sale. Don’t forget the saddles, boots,
chaps and vintage western clothing, we can even find you
a 10-gallon hat, shaped and fitted for any cowboy,
cowgirl or collector. There will be spurs and bits here
that can’t be found anywhere else.
Is it the old pawn jewelry you’re looking for? Look now
farther! Silver and turquoise Indian jewelry is a
popular favorite of many buyers. A full representation
of beadwork, basketry and rugs will catch the eye of the
Native American enthusiasts.
The Hollywood Westerns will be represented well with
items from Hoppy, Gene and Roy. Don’t think that we’ve
left out the paper ephemera and book collectors because
we haven’t – this is the place to find that first
edition or hard-to-find book, you’ve been looking for.
The 4th Tucson Old West Round-Up & Auction will
take place in the Thurber Hall of the Pima Country
Fairgrounds. The Show opens Friday, January 30 from 2 to
6 pm, Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to
3pm. An auction will be held Saturday evening at 6pm
sharp. Auction preview begins Saturday at noon. Daily

Theater 4301, Galleria Corporate Centre, Scottsdale
(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) – Scottsdale Center for the
Performing Arts will present the hit Off-Broadway comedy

Salisbury.
Single tickets are

An acclaimed new
play in the style of The Vagina Monologues, My
First Time features four actors telling real stories
– from the hysterical to the heartbreaking – about first
sexual experiences. In 1998, nearly a decade before the
rise of blogging, a Web site was created that allowed
people to anonymously share their own stories about
their “First Times.” The site became an instant
phenomenon with more than 40,000 stories pouring in from
around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny,
straight, gay, shy, sexy and everything in between.
These true stories and all of the unique characters in
them are brought to life in this unforgettable play
written by Ken Davenport and starring Valley actors
Roxanne Garcia, Vi Flaten, Joshua Yeatts and Dion
Johnson.
These performances
contain adult themes and language.

“Alan
Korwin” Feb 4th
at 4th Spirit of the Old West Alive
February
4th at Bison Western Museum benefiting The
300 Club Food Rescue
(SCOTTSDALE) – Alan Korwin, Bloomfield Press author of
Gun Law books and 2nd Amendment rights
guardian is scheduled for Feb 4th Spirit of
the Old West Alive at the Bison Western Museum 16641 N
91st St.
The
public is invited to attend what promises to be a lively
discussion about 2nd Amendment rights.
Admission is $15 partially benefits the charities
sponsored. Children are admitted free.
The
current temperament in Congress is threatening to the
gun enthusiast and concerns grow as new
legislation is proposed all over the country and in our
nation’s capitol.
Alan is a nationally recognized author of numerous
books on gun laws. He wrote his first book,
The Arizona Gun Owner’s Guide,
in 1989, now in its 23rd edition with more than 100,000
copies in print. He went on to write or co-write seven
more books on gun laws, including state guides for
California,
Florida,
Texas and
Virginia, the unabridged federal guide
Gun Laws of America,
and his 11th, which debuted at the 2008 Gun Rights
Policy Conference,
The Heller Case: Gun Rights Affirmed!
With his wife Cheryl he operates Bloomfield Press, which
has grown into the largest publisher and distributor of
gun-law books in America. His website, gunlaws.com,
features a
National Directory to every gun law in the country
and more than 160
books and DVDs for gun owners and the freedom
movement. Alan’s blog,
PageNine.org, is carried by dozens of paper and
online outlets, and rumors about his political parody
band,
The Cartridge Family, cannot be confirmed.
The Spirit of the Old West Alive (SOWA) was founded by
LeeAnn Sharpe with the purpose of collecting oral
histories. “Too often we see the passing of significant
people in our history without their stories being
recorded. It means so much more to hear their stories
directly from the individual. To hear their voice, to
see their body language and pick up on their
personality,” Sharpe comments. These video taped
interviews will be available as DVD’s and online for
research.
Bison Western Museum is an excellent partner in the
SOWA program as their goal is also related to gathering
history of the southwest. Viewing the spectacular museum
collection is a perfect appetizer to the evening of
entertainment. (www.bisonhomes.com
)
Also sponsoring the event is the Wild West Gazette
dedicated to promoting Arizona history, education and
tourism. Publisher Sid Hagel has taken a lead role in
hand making the Arizona Manzanita wood awards, hand
carved into the shape of Arizona and laser etched. The
January issue of Wild West Gazette out now features
Wyatt Earp and southern Arizona history. (www.wildwestgazette.com
)
Master Printing (www.masterprintingaz.com)
has created beautiful collector cards of each Spirit
honoree, as well as the programs.
Bison Western Museum is located at 16641 N. 91st
St., Scottsdale, AZ (just north of Bell Road) Parking is
free and admission is a $15 donation to benefit our
selected charities. Doors open at 5PM with social
networking, food and beverages, and the program will
begin at 7pm and last until 9pm. (www.spiritoftheoldwest.com

scheduled, Mary Brown of Festival of the West on Feb 18th.

INNOVATIVE DANCE
COMPANY PILOBOLUSTO PERFORM SOLD-OUT SHOW
Pilobolus January 29, 2009
Thursday @ 7:30 p.m.Presented at Herberger Theater
Center, Phoenix
(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.)
– As part of its 2008-09 “Detour” Season, Scottsdale
Center for the Performing Arts will present the
world-renowned dance company Pilobolus on Jan. 29 at
Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. The
performance is part of the Soaring Inspirations Series

Named after a
sun-loving fungus that grows in barnyards and pastures,
Pilobolus germinated in the fertile soil of a Dartmouth
College dance class in 1971. What emerged was a
collaborative choreographic process and unique
weight-sharing approach to partnering that gave the
young company a nontraditional but powerful new set of
skills with which to make dances.

at
www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or the box office

An audience favorite
at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Nigerian Spam Scam
Scam originated with an e-mail that actor Dean Cameron
received from a Nigerian con artist posing as the wife
and son of a dead Nigerian leader. “Please help me! I am
beneficiary to a fortune of 30 million dollars!!!”
Instead of deleting the message, Cameron began
corresponding with the scammer, writing back as a lonely
Florida millionaire, whose only companions were two
cats, a houseboy and personal attorney Perry Mason.
Cameron then lured the unsuspecting swindler into a
nine-month correspondence full of intrigue, broken
hearts, confusion, frustration and colon trouble. With
Victor Isaac performing the role of the bewildered and
tenacious Nigerian, their dialogue, taken from Cameron’s
actual e-mail exchange, documents this hilarious
relationship as it descends into a miasma of
misunderstanding, desperation and deception. Story

Marshall Trimble,
Arizona’s Official State Historian
Honored with a “Spirit of the Old West Alive” Award
by Karen Michelle Sarver Photos by Barb Prichard
Marshall Trimble, Arizona’s Official State Historian,
was honored with a “Spirit of
the Old West Alive” award Nov. 5 at the Bison
Western Museum in Scottsdale.
LeeAnn Sharpe, director of the program, presented the
award following her videotaped interview of Marshall.
The video is the first in the lecture series, “People
Who Keep the Spirit of the Old West Alive,” created to
promote the history of the West both online and in
museums nationwide.
The interview, accompanied by a slide show, focused on
Marshall’s life as a teacher, historian, and musician.
While Marshall is certainly all of those—and more--the
presentation proved he is also a man with a lot
of friends.
The late Senator Barry Goldwater was one of them. Marshall
met Barry Goldwater in 1972 when the senator spoke at
Scottsdale’s Coronado High School where Marshall was
teaching Southwest history.
Marshall said he and the senator became friends that
day, “and we were friends until the day he died.”
Following his introduction of Goldwater at the high
school, Marshall said he went on to introduce the
senator “on the Barry Goldwater Lecture Series for more
than twenty-odd years.” “We never talked
politics,” Marshall said. “Barry had this whole other
side; he liked to talk about Arizona history…we always
talked history. That suited him and it suited me too.”
Another of Marshall’s friends was Henry Cordes,
grandson of German immigrant John Henry Cordes who
established the town that bears his name in 1883, and
became its first postmaster. Marshall’s family met
Henry when their 1936 Ford broke down in Cordes. “Not
Cordes Junction, Henry Cordes’ town,” Marshall
clarified. “We lived there for two, three, four days. We
were the guests of Henry Cordes.” He added, “I
think the population of Cordes was one.”
Besides
a politician and a town founder, Marshall’s list of
friends included an Academy Award winner: Ben Johnson.
Marshall called Johnson, who acted in “The Wild Bunch,”
“Shane,” “ Junior Bonner” and other westerns “one of the
best storytellers.” The two men camped together in
Monument Valley for a week for an “Arizona Highways”
piece that Marshall was writing about the actor.
“Other than his loud snoring, we had a very wonderful
time,” Marshall said. “You met him and it felt like you
knew him all your life.” Marshall said that when he
heard the news of Johnson’s death in 1996 he had to pull
his car off to the side of the road to gather his
thoughts. “He was just that kind of guy. I’ll never
forget him.”
But one of the Official State Historians dearest friends
is Arizona Official State Balladeer Dolan Ellis.
Marshall and Dolan have performed together since about
1978. “He’s a great guy, like Ben Johnson,” Marshall
said, “to know him is to love him.”
Marshall
recalled that when he “went down with a heart issue” and
couldn’t make his performances, Dolan called him, asking
if Marshall had any shows he needed covered.
“I said, ‘Yeah, all of ‘em.” Marshall said Dolan drove
“all over the place to cover my shows. And when the
checks came in and I tried to give ‘em to him he
wouldn’t take ‘em. We’re that kind of friends.”
Marshall concluded the interview with a reflection on
his book signing for “Ash Fork,” his book about the
history of his childhood hometown. “The day… that the
book came out and we went up there for the book signing,
there was a blizzard,” Marshall said. “I started signing
books at…noon and it snowed up at Flag. and
Prescott—everywhere. And people came from as far away as
Kingman and Flagstaff, through the storm to come to the
book signing. And, those,” he said, “are friends.”

HELP- The Foothills Food Bank
Needs Help!
The Foothills Food Bank is in critical need of food and
monetary donations. We are seeing more people. People that we
have never seen before, coming in for the first time. It takes
approximately 30 pounds of food to feed one individual. If that
person went to the store to purchase the food we give them it
would cost approximately $64.00.
The food bank gives a three-day supply of food to a client on
an emergency basis. We also give financial assistance, but due
to a lack of funds we have had to cut off financial assistance
until further notice. Please do what you can, I will be happy to
talk to you. Thanks, Pam DiPietro Executive Director

PHOENIX,
Ariz. – WEEK RECORD 2-0-0 – SEASON RECORD
17-17-3 – 5TH WEST DIVISION
‘RUNNERS REWIND: The Phoenix
RoadRunners slowed down the hottest team in the
National Conference last week by sweeping a pair
of games from the Stockton Thunder Friday and
Sunday at Stockton Arena. With a record of
17-17-3 and 37 points, the RoadRunners sit in
fifth place in the West Division four points
behind fourth place Utah and in eighth place in
the National Conference.
Friday,
the Phoenix RoadRunners got a
goal and an assist from Kimbi Daniels and Ashton
Rome and snapped the Stockton Thunder’s
seven-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory
before 5,745 at Stockton Arena.
The RoadRunners (16-17-3) jumped
out to a 1-0 first period lead when Rome beat
Stockton goalie Bryan Pitton through the pads
with a slap shot from the top of the right-wing
circle for his team-leading 18th goal
of the season at 8:16.
Stockton (17-18-5) netted the
equalizer less than two minutes into the second
period when Cory Urquhart picked up the loose
puck in the slot and slapped it past an
out-stretched RoadRunners’ goalie Craig Kowalski
at 1:43 to tie the game at 1-1. The RoadRunners
reclaimed the lead in the eighth minute of the
second period with the Thunder on the power
play. Kowalski cleared the puck to an open Dan
DaSilva at the Stockton blue-line, and DaSilva
moved in one-on-one against Pitton and flipped
the puck over the Thunder net-minder and into
the cage at 7:01 for a shorthanded tally and a
2-1 Phoenix lead.
Daniels gave the RoadRunners
some much needed insurance when he fired a
one-time slap shot from the slot past Pitton at
6:40 of the third period to extend the
RoadRunners advantage to two goals. P.J. Fenton
sealed the win with an empty-net goal at 18:41.
Stockton out-shot Phoenix 34-18.
Kowalski stopped 33 shots to pick up his third
straight win and improve to 13-11-1 on the
season. The RoadRunners went 0-2 on the power
play while Stockton was 0-6 with the
man-advantage.
Sunday, P.J. Fenton recorded his
first career multi-goal game with a pair of
tallies and the Phoenix RoadRunners throttled
the Stockton Thunder 5-1 to sweep a two-game
weekend series before 4,849 at Stockton Arena.
Following a scoreless first
period, the RoadRunners (17-17-3) struck three
times in the middle frame to build a 3-1 lead.
Matt Burke opened the scoring just 1:38 into the
period when he received a pass across the slot
from Kimbi Daniels and tapped it past an
out-stretched Stockton goalie Bryan Pitton and
into the net for a 1-0 lead. Stockton (18-19-5)
responded just 1:08 seconds later when Adam
Huxley jammed a loose puck through RoadRunners
goalie Craig Kowalski at 2:46 to tie the score
at 1-1. Phoenix re-claimed the lead at 7:01 as
Ashton Rome tallied his team-leading 19th
goal of the season deflecting Brett Peterson’s
point shot past Pitton and in. Fenton then gave
the RoadRunners some late period insurance when
he beat Pitton with a wrist shot and a
shorthanded goal over the blocker at 17:25 to
give Phoenix a 3-1 advantage going into the
second intermission.
Fenton extended the RoadRunners
lead to three goals at 9:19 of the third period
when he picked up Daniel Sisca’s rebound and
tapped the puck into the open cage. Mitch
Carefoot capped the scoring with his 10th
goal of the year at 12:05.
Phoenix out-shot Stockton
38-30. Kowalski stopped 29 shots to pick up his
season-high fourth straight win and improve to
14-11-1 on the season. The RoadRunners went 1-7
on the power play while Stockton was 0-6 with
the man-advantage.
THE
WEEKEND THE SEASON TURNED: Although it’s too
soon to tell, the RoadRunners may look back on
their two-game weekend sweep at Stockton that
pulled them back to the .500 mark as the weekend
that turned their season around. Phoenix
outscored the Thunder 9-2 in the two-game set
getting multiple-point efforts from five
different players including rookie center Merit
Waldrop who enjoyed back-to-back multiple-point
games. The 4.50 goals per game average was
nearly two full goals better than what the
RoadRunners were averaging heading into the
weekend, while the 1.00 goals against per game
average was better than two-and-a-half goals
less than the 3.54 goals against average that
Phoenix possessed coming into Friday’s game.
The RoadRunners scored two shorthanded goals in
the series and responded to giving up 10 power
play goals in their previous six games by
shutting out Stockton on all 12 tries on the
power play over the weekend.
WE’RE GOING STREAKING: Forwards
Kimbi Daniels and P.J. Fenton each are riding
season-high five-game scoring streaks heading
into play this week. Daniels has three goals
and five assists dating back to Jan. 16. The
five-game points’ streak matches a season-high
for the 18-year veteran that he has achieved
already twice this year. Daniels leads the
RoadRunners with 26 assists and 38 points and is
currently tied for 17th in the ECHL
scoring race. Meanwhile, Fenton has five goals
and an assist dating back to Jan. 16 and the
five-game scoring streak is a career-best for
the first-year winger. Since his assignment to
Phoenix from Worcester of the American Hockey
League, Fenton has reverted back to the form
that made him one of the most prolific scorers
at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst over
the past four seasons where he recorded 37
goals, 58 assists, and 95 points in 148 career
games with the Minutemen.
“K-WALL” DELIVERS: Goalie Craig
Kowalski captured back-to-back wins over the
weekend giving him a season-high four-game
winning streak. Over his recent four-game run,
Kowalski has surrendered just nine goals on 137
shots and possesses a 2.21 goals against average
and a .934% save percentage. For the season,
Kowalski has pulled back below the three goals
per game average at 2.94 and maintains a .920%
save percentage.
POSITIVE SIGNS: Rookie center
Merit Waldrop leads the RoadRunners with a
plus-10 rating this season while skating in just
12 games with the club. Waldrop has recorded an
even or better rating in 10 out his 12 games
this year and has also contributed offensively
with nine assists and 10 points. Meanwhile,
defenseman Brett Peterson leads the RoadRunners’
blue-liners with a plus-eight rating through 32
games, and newcomers Jim Jorgensen and Gord
Burnett are each plus-three in their tenures so
far with the RoadRunners.
NEWS & NOTES: The RoadRunners
have won a season-high three straight road games
and four out of their last five games
overall…Phoenix has scored three shorthanded
goals against Stockton in the four-game series
to date and has four shorthanded goals in their
last seven games. The RoadRunners are tied for
fifth in the ECHL with nine shorthanded goals,

a proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and the
Worcester Sharks, announced today that rookie

of the American Hockey League and has returned to

minutes and finished with a minus-two rating in four
games with the Sharks after earning his first career
call-up to the AHL. He leads the RoadRunners with 13

with seven goals, 10 assists, 17 points, and 540

CONDORS SLIDE
PAST ROADRUNNERS 4-3
Phoenix Visits Stockton at 8:30 p.m. Friday,
Jan. 23
PHOENIX, Ariz.
– Bruce Graham scored two goals as he helped
lift the Bakersfield Condors over the Phoenix
RoadRunners 4-3 Sunday night in front of 2,350
fans at US Airways Center.
The RoadRunners (15-17-3) got on
the board first at 1:44 of the second period
when T.J. Campbell netted a puck that just
trickled through the five-hole of Condor goalie
Yutaka Fukufuji. Gino Guyer and P.J. Fenton
assisted. Bakersfield (13-21-5) tied up the
game at 4:33 when Brett Pilkington scored from
Tyler Michel and Liam Huculak. The Condors then
took a 2-1 lead when Graham scored over
RoadRunner goalie Kyle Jones’ blocker at 14:07.
Mark Derlago and Scott Balan had the assists.
Phoenix tied up the game at
15:38 when Mitch Carefoot set up John McNabb who
scored stick side on Fukufuji. Graham gave
Bakersfield a 3-2 lead less than a minute later
though when he scored from the slot at 16:10 on
the power play. Martin Frechette assisted as
the Condors would take the lead into the locker
room at the second intermission.
“We gave up a bad bounce that led
to their power play goal,” said RoadRunners’
Head Coach Brad Church, adding that three bad
mistakes by the RoadRunners led to Bakersfield’s
three goals that period. “At the end of the day
our mistakes cost us the game.”
Bakersfield added an insurance
goal at 13:07 of the third period when Matt Pope
scored to the right of Jones from Frechette,
giving the Condors a 4-2 lead. The RoadRunners
came back within one goal at 16:39 when Dane
Crowley rifled a shot past Fukufuji, but it
wasn’t enough as the final score would be
Bakersfield 4-3 despite pulling Jones in the
final minute of the game.
The RoadRunners have the next
four days off due to the ECHL All-Star Game
being played in Reading, Penn., on Jan. 21, and
Church is looking forward to the rest the team
will be getting.
“We need it; we’re banged up and
only skated eight forwards this weekend,” Church
said. “We have a heavy schedule in the second
half and we’re going to take advantage of the
week off.”
Phoenix out-shot Bakersfield
34-30. Jones stopped 26 shots but suffered the
loss to fall to 1-5-1 on the season. The
RoadRunners went 0-4 on the power play while
Bakersfield was 1-5 with the man-advantage.
Phoenix opens a three-game road
trip following the ECHL All-Star Break at 8:30

ISRAELI
PIANIST 
Besides
a politician and a town founder, Marshall’s list of
friends included an Academy Award winner: Ben Johnson.
Marshall called Johnson, who acted in “The Wild Bunch,”
“Shane,” “ Junior Bonner” and other westerns “one of the
best storytellers.” The two men camped together in
Monument Valley for a week for an “Arizona Highways”
piece that Marshall was writing about the actor.
“Other than his loud snoring, we had a very wonderful
time,” Marshall said. “You met him and it felt like you
knew him all your life.” Marshall said that when he
heard the news of Johnson’s death in 1996 he had to pull
his car off to the side of the road to gather his
thoughts. “He was just that kind of guy. I’ll never
forget him.”
