LSO Sing
LSO Sing, the Orchestra's singing programme led by LSO Choral Director Simon Halsey, gets into its stride in its second year in 2014/15. With five Singing Days at LSO St Luke's, choral concerts conducted by Sir Simon Rattle and Gianandrea Noseda among others, and two premieres by Sally Beamish and Jonathan Dove, plus the London Symphony Chorus (LSC) performing without orchestra, it looks set to be an inspiring season of singing.
LSO Sing is generously supported by the J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust and The John S Cohen Foundation
Remembering World War I
Sally Beamish's Equal Voices is a new 45-minute piece for chorus, orchestra and two soloists co-commissioned by the LSO and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The idea for Equal Voices came from Sir Andrew Motion, whose powerful collection Laurels and Donkeys reflects on many aspects of war. Sally Beamish has selected the poem 'An Equal Voice' which draws on the tragedy of shell shock and war-induced post-traumatic stress, from the Somme to Afghanistan. The poem uses the voices of patients and doctors, most of which are taken from A War of Nerves by Ben Shephard, and Beamish has juxtaposed the poem with some of the most beautiful passages in the Old Testament from the 'Song of Songs', thereby contrasting Motion's dark and devastating imagery with this remarkable Middle-Eastern love idyll. Sally Beamish has travelled widely to give seminars and talks about her music, and both she and Andrew Motion will take part in a one-day conference exploring music and trauma at LSO St Luke's, prior to the evening concert.
'The opportunity to create this work with Andrew Motion, the LSO, LSC and two fabulous soloists, is tremendously exciting and inspirational.'
Sally Beamish
The world premiere marks the start of the LSO's own four-year exploration of World War I, during which it will delve into its own archives. The LSO was the only current London orchestra in existence during the War, and LSO members lived, fought and died during 1914–18. The Orchestra is in a unique position to recount their stories in a vibrant combination of events and online resources. How did the LSO Board deal with the fact that their Principal Horn was a German national? How did they cope with one of their number, trumpeter Sidney Moxon, being killed in action on the Somme in 1917? How did the ban on performing 'unpatriotic' German repertoire such as Brahms and Beethoven inform the creation of a new body of orchestral repertoire? Answers will be provided on a groundbreaking new website.
The Profession and the Community on One Stage
Sir Simon Rattle had the idea of a commission for young people, the local community and the LSO; Jonathan Dove's The Monster in the Maze is the first in a number of co-commissions between the LSO and the Berlin Philharmonic in coming years. Dove has written more than 25 operas of different shapes and sizes, including works for television and operas for a family audience. In 2008 he joined the Cape Farewell voyage to the Arctic, and has subsequently been developing opera projects related to climate change.
This year he is composing an hour-long community opera to be performed by the LSO, its Community and Youth Choirs, Guildhall School students, an actor and soloists. Telling the story of the rescue from the Labyrinth by Theseus of young Athenians sent to Crete as a sacrifice to the Minotaur – setting a text by Alasdair Middleton – it has been specially written so that students from the Guildhall School can sit side-by-side with LSO professionals. Jonathan Dove has a history of firsts with the LSO, having been commissioned to write Stargazer, 'an opera for solo trombone' and The Passing of the Year was commissioned by the LSC. Like all of Dove's music, which is hugely approachable, varied and exciting, we can expect works charged with intensity and beauty.
In Conversation with Conductor Gianandrea Noseda
Thoughts on singing …
'The most natural instrument in the world is the human voice: anyone can sing. Of course I'm not saying everyone has the potential to be the next big opera singer, but singing together in a choir and feeling part of a bigger performance is such a joy and everyone can do it. You put your talent, your voice, to the service of your colleagues in the chorus to make the audience enjoy the performance. Music is about this: sharing everyone's talents – it's a mutual exchange of energy that results in something much more magnificent.'
Thoughts on the LSO …
'With the LSO, it doesn't matter if you perform X composer, Y composer or Z composer. I think, in my experience, they never step back. The LSO has virtuosity, limitless virtuosity, flexibility, much attention to detail and care about the production of sound. These are among some of the best qualities for a modern orchestra – to be consistent, to be flexible, and to be so committed to sound and style. Like many professional British orchestras, the LSO is quick – like myself, they don't like to waste time. They are able to act like a chameleon, to change styles without losing that precision, technique, intonation and flexibility. Performing Britten's War Requiem with the LSO and LSC, both in New York and at the Barbican, was one of the highlights of my concert activity.'
Thoughts on London as a cultural hub …
'I love London as a city and more so as a cultural city because so many things are going on. Because of that I consider London, along with New York, a capital for music. It's an exciting place to be! Of course London is in my future plans, it's one of the cities I want to spend more time in. So many things happen here. If you stay in London for two weeks, it's easy to see so many artists, many directors or soloists, and because one or the other is playing with a different orchestra you can go and meet with them too. It's like being sat in the canteen of the Metropolitan Opera House: you sit there for one hour and you see all the major singers and conductors. On a much bigger scale, that happens here.'

All the nuanced meanings of "belonging" describe integration trends in industrialized countries in 2007, including the United States, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany.
The language of migration and development—remittances, diaspora, brain drain, circular migration—has become standard among researchers and NGOs interested in development issues. In 2007, that language formally became part of the migration policy agenda, particularly in Europe.
With reforms to its 2005 immigrant integration law and the unveiling of a National Integration Plan, Germany expects to improve integration and come closer to the European Union's Common Basic Principles on immigrant integration. MPI's Eric Leise reports.
Although most Latin Americans head to North America, the increasing flow of people from Latin America to Southern Europe reflects colonial and historical patterns as well as new economic opportunities. Beatriz Padilla and João Peixoto examine various data that show the region's popularity.
Vlaams Belang, a far-right party known for its nationalism and anti-immigrant position, lost one seat in Belgium's parliament in the June 10 national elections. Laura Barker examines the party's use of the immigration issue and reactions to its politics.
Recent Activity
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.
European dominance in U.S. immigration flows has decreased significantly since World War II, a result of economic, demographic, and policy trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Today, migration from European Union Member States to the United States, while small, is characterized by a substantial numbers of European scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.
This Migration Policy Institute event was held to discuss the release of MPI'sbook, Migration and the Great Recession: The Transatlantic Experience, which reviews how the financial and economic crisis of the late 2000s marked a sudden and dramatic interruption in international migration trends.
Two competing models for selecting economic-stream immigrants are now prevalent in advanced industrialized economies: points-based and employer-led selection. Increasingly, however, hybrid selection systems are being created, implementing best practices from each selection process.
The EU-U.S. relationship is one of the most significant partnerships among wealthy nations. Interconnections between the two on migration issues make dialogue necessary and inevitable, as each relies on each other to attain a number of policy objectives, most clearly in the case of travel and border security.
This report describes the range of policies available to improve immigrants' economic integration through language acquisition, especially those focused on getting immigrants into jobs or moving into higher-paying jobs. It assesses promising models and practices from Europe and North America.
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent—infusing policy processes with grassroots knowledge to which governments may not otherwise have access. Looking at the European Union's efforts to engage with civil society in its "neighborhood," this report examines the benefits, challenges, and mechanisms to building dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.

A year ago this weekend, Kaylah Lentine was celebrating her 14th birthday at a sleepover party with friends. They sang, laughed and made a video parody of "The Hunger Games."
In a bittersweet nod to life's unpredictability, those same friends, along with members of Kaylah's large extended family, gathered Friday — Kaylah's birthday — at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School to remember the girl who not only changed them for the better but changed them for good. The mourners sang, laughed and watched a snippet of Kaylah's version of "The Hunger Games."
Kaylah died May 25, 2012, one day after she was struck by a pickup truck near the intersection of Southwest Highway and Cicero Avenue in Oak Lawn.
Apparently having missed the bus, she was rushing to school that morning for a special assembly. Her grandfather and stepfather were already seated in the school's auditorium, eager to watch her receive a leadership award.
"The irony of that is kind of brutal," said Kaylah's father, James Lentine, of Frankfort.
Video footage of Kaylah's tragic crossing, acquired from a nearby business, shows the teen making it safely across westbound traffic to a median island, but soon after she steps into eastbound lanes, she disappears from view, said her mother, Krista Wilkinson, of Hometown.
"We think maybe someone stopped to let her cross and she didn't see the truck coming in the other lane," Wilkinson said.
The next day, Kaylah was declared brain dead, and her organs were donated, a gesture she had prophetically soapboxed about just weeks before her death.
Kaylah's family has spent the past year campaigning for the installation of updated safety measures at that intersection.
"There is 21st century traffic there but the crosswalk is from the 1930s," Lentine said. Not only do pedestrians have to cross several lanes of traffic, there is no pedestrian signal instructing them when it is safe to do so, he said.
Southwest Highway is under the jurisdiction of Oak Lawn, while Cicero Avenue falls under state jurisdiction. The family has appealed to the village, Cook County and the Illinois Department of Transportation to make the intersection safer.
"We don't want another child to be killed crossing that street," Wilkinson said.
Process has begun
IDOT spokeswoman Jae Miller said the department has recommended traffic signal modernization for that intersection. The project was submitted as a candidate for inclusion in a future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), she said.
Jennifer Killen, bureau chief for transportation and planning with the Cook County Highway Department, said applications were recently filed, accompanied by letters of support for the project from Cook County Commissioners Joan Murphy (D-Crestwood) and John Daley (D-Chicago), as well as state Rep. Kelly Burke (D-Evergreen Park) and Oak Lawn officials.
The project, Killen said, would add "Walk"/"Don't Walk" signals and would realign the crosswalk, minimizing crossing distance, as well as install accessible ramps that are in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Countdown signals, which let the pedestrian know how much time he has to clear the intersection, cannot be installed there because of the proximity of train tracks, she said.
"We can't have a signal go 18, 17, 16, 5 seconds to cross," she said.
Pending approval of the $400,000 project, and providing it passes engineering and environmental studies, which are federal requirements of HSIP projects, work is expected to be completed within the 2014 fiscal year, Killen said.
Miller said IDOT has initiated the environmental survey in advance of funding approval.
Celebration of life
About 70 people attended Friday morning's tribute, during which a park bench bearing Kaylah's motto, "Live, Laugh, Love," was dedicated. It will be placed at the front of the school.
Kathryn Ringhofer praised Kaylah's insight and kindness. The Spanish teacher recalled how one day she came into class and found a bouquet of lilacs on her desk. She'd been having a tough week and Kaylah must have sensed that. After she learned from another student that Kaylah was the anonymous gifter, Ringhofer approached the teen.
"Kaylah simply said, 'I knew you loved them.' That's the kind of person she was," Ringhofer said.
Ringhofer encouraged those in attendance to keep Kaylah's memory alive through acts of kindness.
Emmy Kenny recalled Kaylah's sense of humor and her determination to learn new things. Kaylah, she said, once taught herself the words to the SpongeBob SquarePants song in German.
Emmy also regaled the audience with a story about the time she came to visit Kaylah while she was grounded. When Kaylah's stepdad, Bob Nelson, came home unexpectedly, Emmy hid in a closet until he needed to use the bathroom and she could safely sneak out of the house.
Shawnee Masters, Marty Feigl and Aleksi Kobylecky took turns reading some of their dear friend's poems.
Principal Paul Enderle said, "I am a better educator and a better teacher because of Kaylah. I think each of us here is a better person because of her, too.
"Her legacy will live on here," Enderle said.
Sara Mason and Alex Overland performed a vocal duet of "For Good." And the OLHMS band played "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, Kaylah's favorite band.
Teacher Noreen Williams reminded everyone how blessed Kaylah had been during her short life.
"She had so many people who loved her, parents who were proud of her and so many friends," Williams said. "So many people live their lives and never experience what Kaylah had every day."

who's your favorite female diva?
mine has to be Shirley Bassey
how about you? do youhave clips of her to share with us?
my close seconds are Liza Minelli and Judy Garland
who's your favorite female diva?
mine has to be Shirley Bassey
how about you? do youhave clips of her to share with us?
my close seconds are Liza Minelli and Judy Garland
I don't have just one particular fave; but here's a brief list of a few that I like, a lot:
in no particular order, and I doubt that they all qualify for 'diva' status.
Maria Callas
Joan Sutherland
Marilyn Horne
Dolly Parton
Ella Fitzgerald
Nina Simone
Billy Holiday
Patsy Cline
Shirley Bassey
Dusty Springfield
Eartha Kitt
Liza Minelli
Judy Garland
oh dear, this could go on forever; my list is endless.
they are all definitely divas
and they are all great in my book too
Cant believe i left Dolly off of my list
Shania Twain - I wouldn't mind spending a weekend with her
Christina Aguilera and Reba McEntire
"Bet It Sucks To See My Face Everywhere..."
heres the one for hoody!!
and an added benefit for Springboksfan
one of the best diva songs ever
and one more to make sure....
Dolly Parton
Patsy Cline
so many more...
Judy Garland is one of the best.
Tina Turner
Etta James
Billie Holliday
Anita Baker
heres Liza in her hayday
how about Etta Chaka and Gladys with BB king on backup?
would that make you happy Cousin?
Yes that works.
I found one of Tina Turner, Elton John, and Cher! Elton is definately a diva.
there will never be anyone liek Tina ever again
she is a truly unique and staggering talent
Barbara Cook
Andrea Marcovicci
Maria Callas
Deborah Voight
Audra McDonald
Kri Ti Kanawa
Dame Janet Baker
Cecilia Bartolli
Patti Lupone
Céline Dion....
heres one for all of my JUB buddies out there
Via Patti Labelle, of course....lol
hey I'm gay
Il Divo
(The 'div' part matches, so it's close enough for me.)
I think the amazing Diamand Galas qualifies for diva status.
Click here, if you dare, to see and hear her passionate piano-playing and fabulous yoweling, whilst she performs live in her full-on, eccentric, madness.
How can we all forget about Aretha Franklin?
Okay. I thought and I thought, and then I thought some more, and I finally came up with one:
I find that I must agree with cousin on his choices. And Tina IS the DIVA. I have nothing but respect for her and the way she has risen above the bullshit she endured. I saw an interview with her one day in her place in the French Riviera. The interviewer was talking to her about the extavagance of her home and the furnishings and such. She simply replied that she has worked hard and if she wants to treat herself she will, she feels she deserves it. No apologies and no excuses.
Gotta go with Gloria Gaynor.
(No pun intended.)
Not remotely diva-related; but I just can't resist posting a link to this wonderful clip of Graham Central Station performing 'Pow', on Soul Train, back in the 70s.
I'm aware that Larry Graham was a homophobic, JW; but that, in no way, detracts from the stunningly eccentric campy performance and his amazing bass-playing.
They sure knew how to 'funk' back in those days.
*hijack over*
ooh hell yeah !!!
whoopi Goldberg
Shame on you
Wow! Too many to mention but on top of my list would have to be Madonna...
In no particular order...
Patti (both La Belle and LuPone)
A true diva only needs a one name introduction. Any more and she's not a true diva...
Not sure she classifies as a 'true' diva, but I like Annie Lennox.
Gimme DEVO.
How about
Petula Clark
Dusty Springfield
And even Barbara Striesand
Barbra Streisand & Judy Garland singing together
Barbra alone
and Judy alone obviously loaded off her gourd
this one is for Elvin and okstatecowboy
These are all great female performers, but are they divas? I thought divas had to be impossibly difficult and demanding and throw hissy fits and just generally act like bitches. And then go out on stage and knock your socks off, of course.
So with that in mind, how about:
Diana Ross
Barbra Streisand
Martha Stewart (domestic diva)
Kathleen Battle
Marlene Dietrich
Mariah Carey
Jessye Norman
and others who have the attitude but not the talent, like J. Lo, Cybill Shepherd, etc.
And you just know in your heart, that Hillary is on that list.
LOL @ Hillary
heres a group that de4finitely qualifies, and since racial equality is one of my most important causes, this song really hits home for me
Since miss Ross wrote the modern Diva book she has to ahve a video salute in this thread
I almost put Kathleen Battle down on my list. I had the chance to see he performr twice in solo appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
And then began the stories of her behaviour towards her colleages, the opera companies and even her own staff. Never have I seen an artist self distruct in so many ways and being so un-willing to admit somthing was seriously wrong with her attitude and behaviour. Where were the people around her, who should have taken control of this horrific situation? The final staw was when I heard that serveral artists had refused roles in operas she was to appear in. Talk about an ego getting out of control and a career lost. I shall never understand it.
I've heard her once in a solo recital with piano. I'll never forget it, one of the greatest singers I ever heard. So much intelligence in every note. Opera singers aren't always great recitalists, but she certainly was.
A friend of mine was at the Brevard Music Festival when she underwent a near total meltdown onstage. It must have been very painful to experience that so publicly.
I think in her case it goes beyond misbehavior to a deep-rooted insecurity. I think frankly it has a lot to do with being an African-American artist in a mostly white milieu. That and having an exquisitely refined nervous system that just can't shut down.
sorry guys
im looking for clips of the opera divas, but they are hard to come by
still looking !!!
Please is it possible to add Klaus Nomi to the list.
Well there's tons of Kathleen Battle on Youtube, for starters. Here's one that's just delightful (poor video quality unfortunately):
And I thought I caught a glimpse of Maria Callas in concert. Post that one in a minute.
Thanks Slobone !!!
You rock !!
I just thinking today about an artist whom I have always admired, but does not seem to be very well known these days. Valida Snow. She was a jazz trumpeter, singer, and musical savant. She led her own band and worked with some of the greatest names in jazz.

Death is nothing but an eternal change, an infinity, and the life hereafter begins right now.
- Jess E. Weiss, author
Is there life after death? Many people would respond with a resounding
yes! It's not just faith that tells them that crossing over is not the end;
it's signs from loved ones who have died, messages that bring
solace and healing. Some describe having a near-death experience
in which they catch a glimpse of heaven.
Their inspiring stories strengthen the belief that a connection
exists between the here and the hereafter, that love never
dies but lasts for eternity.
A friend, who refused to take no for an answer, wins one last genial debate from the world beyond.
In honor of Earth Day, read how a near-death experience inspired a Michigan tree farmer to launch a reforestation project.
Understanding that death is a physical, emotional and spiritual experience, and timing is everything.
Why we should all learn to listen, really listen, to those around us who are on their way to heaven.
A man finds comfort in an unexpected place after his wife has gone on to heaven.
Grandma hadn't been stolen from me. I finally understood that those we love will always be with us—even after death.
The innocent faith of a small child who was close to death.
A moving Scandinavian tradition for those near death hits close to home.
Somehow she sensed when God was calling them home to heaven.
As it became clear that he was close to death, a son made a startling revelation to his father.
A nun's faith is rewarded when her bond with her departed mother is confirmed.
How do we cope when we aren't by a loved one's side as they are nearing death?
I was not sure what told me that Diane was about to die, but I knew it was imminent.
Honoring a man who honored God as he departs for his reward in heaven.

Powe, who was born on April 20 1942, and grew up in Mound Bayou, has been a central figure in not only Cleveland, but also Bolivar County and the rest of the Delta for many years.
He is best known for his 25-year stint as head baseball coach of the Cleveland High School Wildcats.
In his 30 years at East Side High School and Cleveland High School, he had a career coaching record of 517-183.
Powe was also a teacher, assistant football coach and head softball coach.
His life's work went beyond Cleveland High School as he worked at the Cleveland Park Commission and was a Major League Baseball scout in the Cincinnati Reds organization for many years.
He was also coordinator of the Cleveland School District Mentor Program and did a lot of work through his Coach Powe Community Foundation.
He promoted baseball in the Delta and influenced many people.
Many friends, former players and students have flooded Facebook with an outpouring of love, remembering the man with a big smile and the pipe that people always smelled when he was around.
Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell said, "Powe will truly be missed in Cleveland.
"He was a great, great human being and an unbelievable baseball coach as we all know, but he was even a better person," Nowell said. "He is one of the true leaders that we've had in Cleveland and he is just good as gold.
"He had a very calming demeanor about him. He could make the best out of any situation and his leadership skills showed up in the way he demanded respect from people. People listened to him. Cleveland is not the same place without Coach Powe, but his memories will always be with us."
Powe, who was an all-conference catcher at Jackson State University in 1963, began his coaching and teaching career in 1966 at East Side High School.
After a few seasons he got the word from the school district that he would be a teacher and head baseball coach at Cleveland High School in the fall of 1970.
Powe's hiring was historic because he was a black coach at an all white school during a time of racial tension.
Powe's will, determination and personality were key as he earned the respect of his players and everyone in the community.
In 1972, he guided the Wildcats to the Class A State Baseball Championship. From there, Powe guided Cleveland to four more trips to the state championship series.
Northwest head football coach and athletic director Pete Hurt, who played baseball under Powe from 1971-74, said it was tough on Powe when he was hired to coach at CHS.
"He was in a no-win situation," said Hurt, who has been in coaching for 35 years. "All he wanted to do was coach baseball and have a good baseball program but it was so much more than that. I can remember going up to Shelby and we had some of our Cleveland High School students on the Shelby side chastising him from the stands, because he was somewhat considered like an Uncle Tom in the black community and some people didn't accept him in the white community.
"The beauty of it all was that black and white were united through his work in baseball and there was no color when it came to that."
According to Hurt, Powe worked the players hard and demanded a lot out of them but he also cared about them and was a tremendous person.
Hurt said Powe truly knew the game of baseball.
"During that era there usually really wasn't baseball guys coaching baseball at that time at high school," Hurt said. "At lot of times, you just had an assistant football coach that did baseball. He was way ahead of his time even in the baseball aspect of it because he was a true baseball guy. There weren't many of those in high school baseball at that time. He was a true pioneer."
Mark Williams, who played baseball at Cleveland High from 1975-78, said Powe provided building blocks on how to live outside of sports.
"He taught life lessons," Williams said. "I feel like he prepared you more for life than anything else. He came at a time where there were turbulent times during segregation. During the time when I was there, he bridged the gap so well. He didn't see color. He was more interested in you as a person."
Bob Card, who has been teaching at Cleveland High School since 1978, coached with Powe under then head football coach Bill Matthews when Card first came to Cleveland High.
Card worked with Powe at the school for close to 20 years and said he will miss him deeply.
"Coach Powe touched a lot of people and I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths in my life with him," Card said. "He always made you feel better. You always felt better being around him. It's just tough to put it into words. He's one of those type people you just kind of figured and expected to always be around. Cleveland was very fortunate to have a person of his caliber for sure. He definitely made our community better."
Current Cleveland High School head baseball coach Steve Wies, who was an assistant baseball coach under Powe for three years and assistant softball coach for two years, said Powe meant a lot to him coming up as a coach.
"He gave me my start in my coaching career," Wies said. "I don't know if I could have picked a better role model for myself. He was a mentor to so many kids in the community and he was also such a good role model and mentor for me as well.
"Coach Powe wanted his players to succeed on and off the field. Powe always pushed his players to do the best they could at all times," said Wies.
Wies added he learned a lot by how Powe went about coaching his players.
"I had not experienced the type of discipline in which he instilled with such fire and passion," Powe said. "Completely different than my high school coaches, he had a very extreme drive to him. He wanted to drive his players to get the best out of themselves. He would not settle for mediocrity. Whatever your potential was, that's where he wanted you to be and he would not settle for anything less than that.
"His motto in all the years that I knew him as a coach was 'the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.' Basically that means you're never going to perform at your best but his point was you strived to get there."
"Cleveland High School is blessed to count Coach Powe as one of our own," said CHS Principal Steven Craddock, who has been at the school since 1991. "He was a mighty Cleveland Wildcat through and through and had that Wildcat spirit that you can only hope other students, faculty and teachers get. He was a bridge builder in our community. He was a big reason that Cleveland High School has the racial harmony that it has."
Craddock said Powe was fair to everybody he taught and coached in his time at CHS.
"Coach Powe wanted what was best for the kids," Craddock said. "He wanted to bring out the best in them. He taught life lessons as much as he taught curriculum and that's what people remember. He was concerned about what people were on the inside and not what they looked like on the outside or how much money they had or didn't have."
Cleveland Park Commission Director Stephen Glorioso said previous park director Quinton Steen and Powe were two people that he learned a lot from.
Glorioso said Powe always cared about what was going on with the park commission.
"Coach taught me a lot about the park commission and a lot about how to deal with people," Glorioso said. "He told me when I did good and told when I did bad. Between him and Mr. Steen, they were like dads to me. Even when I called him last week to talk to him, he gave me advice then. I couldn't sum up in a few words what Coach Powe has meant to me over these last 14 years. It's hard to put into words.
"He was always there when I needed him, and he was always there for advice. He meant so much. Even in the (Dixie Boys) World Series last year when he was still sick, he was always there and always supportive. He was a coach to a lot of people but he was a great friend to me. My only regret was I never got to play under him."
According to Glorioso, Powe knew how to keep his cool during any tough situation that came up and was always fair.
"It didn't matter if somebody came up screaming and hollering or whatever, he would smile at you and go 'Hey, let's talk about this.' When he dealt with people and they had huge problems and where ready to be mad at the world, Coach Powe had a knack of smiling at them and he never lost his cool. He knew the right things to say at the right time. It's amazing the composure he had in every situation. He knew how to talk to people."
Powe's impact on girl's athletics at Cleveland High School was great as he was the team's first slow-pitch softball coach in 1989. During his tenure as softball coach, he posted a record of 157-43.
The girls on the Lady Wildcats' softball team always respected him and looked up to him during his coaching tenure.
Camille Cole Woods, who played softball at CHS from 1995-97, said "Coach Powe was one of those guys that made such a huge impact on everybody that knew him. He definitely did on mine. To a lot of us, he was like a second dad almost because we spent so much time with him and got so close to him. He's done so much for the community and all the kids, not just Cleveland High kids, but all the kids in town knew him and loved him. He will definitely be missed by everybody that ever knew him."
Another person influenced by Powe was April Livingston Hooks, who played softball at CHS from 1994-97.
Hooks said Powe was a father figure when her brother Patrick Livingston was killed in a car accident on July 4, 1997.
"He extended his arms to me when I needed him the most," Hooks said. "Everybody thinks that on the exterior he is this big tough guy, but he was really just a softie. He was always there for me when I really needed him and that was a very difficult time being 16 or 17 years old. I'm in Michigan and he still has an effect on me. He was just an extraordinary man."
Powe's work enabled him to be inducted into the Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame and the Jackson State University Hall of Fame.
The baseball field at Cleveland High School, Sank Powe Field, is named after him.
Cleveland Alderman Robert Sanders, who's wife Tracey Boddie-Sanders was a trainer on his baseball team from 1978-81, said Powe had a great impact on everyone he met.
"He touched many lives in our community being a mentor, a coach and a teacher," Sanders said. "He was a person who had care for everyone regardless of who you were, he was the person who really touched lives whenever you came in contact with him. He was just a joy, and I was excited to have the opportunity to work beside him."
Powe's daughters Calandra Powe-Owten and Veronika Powe-Wilson said they were thankful for all the support the community has given their father over the years.
Powe was proceeded in death by his wife Rebecca Flakes Powe.
Funeral arrangements are pending through W.S. Brandon Mortuary.

The opening line in "Forever Plaid" was, one might say, dead-on: "We're the Four Plaids and we're forever dead."
The musical, a 1990 revue of the four-part harmony groups of the 1950s, became so popular that it spawned a sequel especially for the holidays.
"Plaid Tidings will be performed on the Theatre at the Center stage in Munster, Ind., through Dec. 23.
As the original story went, the Plaids were a quartet intent on creating their vision of the clean-cut genre when they all were killed in an auto accident.
They returned from the afterlife for one last chance for fame.
The songs they sang were among the great hits of the prerock era.
This relatively new version brings them together again to bring a little harmony to a discordant world.
Interestingly, "Plaid Tidings" has become almost as popular as the original musical.
"Plaid Tidings" mixes many holiday chestnuts such as "White Christmas" with other pop hits of the era.
In fact, just as the original "Forever Plaid" show, "Plaid Tidings" does a riotous three-minute spoof of "The Ed Sullivan Show."
This time, the spoof features the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and the Vienna Boys Choir.
The irony is that none of the current Four Plaids were old enough to even remember Sullivan, whose show went off the air in 1971, let alone the acts that made his variety program popular in the days before TV and pop music became so fragmented.
Theatre at the Center's fictionalized foursome includes Rod Thomas as Frankie, Scott Stratton as Smudge, Frank J. Paul as Jinx and Jonathan Wagner as Sparky.
Thomas has become a regional music theater favorite.
The Georgia native has been a Chicago resident since the late 1990s after graduating from Northwestern University. He moved away for five years and came back for good in 2003.
Thomas has starred as a dashing song-and-dance man in a long list of hit regional shows such as "Guys and Dolls,""Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Shop of Horrors." The latter was at Theatre at the Center in July.
He said he once played in "Forever Plaid" in summer stock theater in Warsaw, Ind.
"You don't have to be familiar with (the 1950s) to appreciate the music and humor," Thomas said.
"The musical is like a time capsule. It appeals to older people for nostalgia, but it's also a nice vehicle to introduce others to something different from what they're hearing today."
The comedy is universal. Each of the Plaids has a quirk.
Frankie has asthma, Smudge has stage fright and requires Rolaids, Jinx gets frequent nosebleeds, and Sparky wears a retainer and speaks with a lisp.
And they have their solos. Frankie, for example, comes in with "Stranger in Paradise."
The show is directed by William Pullinsi.
"I live in (Chicago's) Rogers Park (community)," Thomas said. "But I really appreciate what Pullinsi and the Theatre at the Center provides for the south suburbs.
"The North Side has an embarrassment of riches, but the south suburbs since (the demise of the ) Candlelight (Dinner Playhouse) and Drury Lane (Theatre) in Evergreen Park doesn't have as much live theater.
"Pullinsi has a great passion for live theater."
The Four Plaids may be "forever dead," but they're very much alive this holiday season in Munster.

This will be a busy month for me (we're celebrating 3 of our kids' birthdays tomorrow, and mine is this next Wednesday - yes, you may shower me with birthday wishes! :) (just kidding...you don't have to...but seriously, if you want to, it would make my day)! But, aside from the birthdays, the rest of the month will be busy, so I thought I'd throw together a Halloween kit a little bit early...I hope you don't mind!
Also, I kind of went a little slap-happy with my paint bucket tool, so there are a LOT of papers in here. So, sorry if it takes awhile to upload the whole kit, and sorry if it takes up too much space on your computer.
With all of that said, I hope you have a wonderful October and a "BOOTIFUL NIGHT" on Halloween!

The Fagor Chef Pressure Cooker is made of durable 18/10 stainless steel and aluminum-clad bottoms. Each unit includes an instruction booklet and built-in indicators, making it easy to understand and use. The pressure indicator has two distinct positions: the first position indicates low pressure (8 psi), and the second indicates high pressure (15 psi). The MAX line indicator helps you to recognize when you have reached the recommended capacity in the pressure cooker.
The Fagor Chef Pressure Cooker is available in three sizes: 6 quart, 8 quart, and 10 quart capacities. The 10 quart unit can also be used as a pressure canner.
The benefits of pressure cooking
- FAST. Pressure cookers can save up to 70% in cooking time!
- EASY. Simply load the ingredients and liquids into the cooker, close the lid, bring the unit to pressure, then release and open the lid!
- HEALTHY. Pressure cookers cook without oil, and the shorter cooking times retain more nutritional value in the food. Because foods are cooked under pressure, up to 50% more vitamins and minerals are retained!
- SAFE. The Fagor Chef Pressure Cooker has three safety valves that permit excess pressure to escape, so your cooking experience is completely secure.
- VERSATILE. Pressure cookers can cook all types of food, including rice, stews, soups, meat, and even desserts.
- ENERGY EFFICIENT.Because cooking times are reduced up to 70%, it conserves a tremendous amount of energy.
- GREAT TASTE. Steam pressure breaks down the fibers in food very quickly, leaving it moist and succulent.
Using your pressure cooker
Once your cooker is loaded and the lid is locked into place, raise the burner heat to high (or medium-high for electric stoves). For the pressure cooker to build pressure, the cooking liquid in the pot has to be brought to a boil while the lid is positioned and locked in place. As the liquid begins to boil, the cooker will trap and compress the produced steam, creating pressure. The Fagor Chef pressure cookers are equipped with spring-loaded pressure indicators, which will rise to indicate when the unit has come up to pressure.
Once your unit has come up to pressure, lower the heat to medium (or medium-low for electric stoves). You may notice a continuous or occasional hissing sound and a small amount of steam coming from around the handle. This is normal, and is one of the built-in safety features that allows the Chef to safely regulate the amount of pressure inside the cooker. Do not lower the burner heat too much, as the internal temperatures will drop and you will lose pressure.
When the food is finished cooking, remove your unit from the burner. Although it is no longer in contact with the heat source, the contents will continue to cook until the temperature and the pressure level drop.
There are three ways to release the cooking pressure:
The Natural-Release Method
After removing the unit from the burner, some foods such as stocks, tomato sauces, and certain cuts of meat benefit from continuing to cook in the pressure cooker as the pressure and temperature begin to drop naturally. This method can take anywhere from ten to thirty minutes, depending on the kind and quantity of food in the pressure cooker. You will know when it has dropped completely once the spring-loaded pressure indicator lowers completely.
The Cold-Water Release Method
For most food items, you will want to lower and release the cooking pressure as quickly as possible in order to stop the cooking process. The quickest way to do this is to take the pressure cooker to the sink and place it in a tilted position, allowing a small amount of cold water to run over the lid of the cooker. This will stabilize the temperature and force the pressure to dissipate in seconds. Once all the pressure has been released, you will normally hear a decompressing sound that sounds like a swooshing "pop".
The Automatic-Release Method
The Fagor Chef Pressure Cooker has an automatic release setting, enabling you to release pressure without having to place the unit under cold water. Simply turn the switch to the icon resembling a steam cloud, and the pressure will release quickly.
The Chef also includes a steamer basket and a trivet. The basket can be used for steaming foods without placing them directly into the cooking liquids. The trivet is simply placed on the bottom of the cooker, with the steamer basket on top of it.
Cleaning your pressure cooker
The Chef includes a self-cleaning valve, designed to clean itself with the exclusive vertical method in which it expels steam. However, stains may built up inside your pressure cooker from everyday use. A good way to remove the stains is to add equal parts of lemon juice and water to your cooker, and heat the liquid until hot. You can then use a nonabrasive sponge to remove stains.
All Fagor Pressure Cookers are Underwriter Laboratories approved. They are completely safe, and do not pose any risk for explosion. The lid locks automatically while pressure is still inside, and if the lid is not closed properly the unit will not create additional pressure. The lids will not open until the steam has dissipated and pressure has been completely released. Built-in safety mechanisms permit steam to escape when over-pressurizing occurs.
- Pressure indicator with distinct positions
- Removable timer/alarm simplifies the pressure cooking process, and gives you 100 minutes of available time
- Fully automatic locking system
- Self-cleaning valve
- 10" Tempered Glass Lid that allows the body to be used as a traditional cooking vessel
- Steamer/Grater basket with trivet, for steaming vegetables that also functions as a grater
- A DVD with information on the basics of a pressure cooker

There has been a lot of buzz about the "Whole Grain" Lean Pockets - mostly from the Lean Pockets people themselves, but this made me want to take a 2nd look at this breakfast/ snack option. First I checked out the ingredients list of the Lean Pockets Whole Grain Supreme Pizza. The 2nd item is whole wheat flour, but there is also unbleached enriched flour, making it not much difference from most other pastries. The list also includes partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil although not enough for trans fat to make an appearance on the nutrition facts.
As for the taste of Lean Pockets Supreme Pizza, it's great. Cheese and pepperoni inside a crispy, thick crust - what more could a girl ask for? It's the perfect size for a snack - not too small, but not too big that the nutrition facts make me toss it like Texas Toast.
Each Lean Pockets Whole Grain Supreme Pizza provides 220 calories, 7 grams of total fat and 2.5 grams of saturated fat (10% and 13% of the RDA), 6% of the RDA for cholesterol, 20% of the RDA for sodium (490 mg), 10 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates which includes 10 grams of sugar and 14% of the RDA for fiber.
A box with 2 costs $2.38 which is a very reasonable price. The Whole Wheat thing might be all hype and advertising, but these really do come in handy as a quick snack that's not too high in fat or calories - you could do worse.

Knooking is the new method of knitting, and you will be hooked once you give it a try. The Knook is a specialized crochet hook that creates a true knitted fabric.

"Learn to Knook" is a thorough guidebook that has everything you need to know about using the Knook tool. This comprehensive instruction and pattern book includes three great projects to get you started with the Knook technique. Choose from the ribbed scarf, cabled hand mitts, and slouchy beanie patterns included in the book to get started using a crochet hook to create a knit fabric.
Enjoy learning the basic technique from the step-by-step photos and clear instructions, which are written for both right-hand and left-hand stitching. Once you master the basic crochet technique, you'll learn how to do decreases and increases, finish seams, change colors, make cables, knit in the round, and more. These are all standard stitches, but you can do them on the easy to use Knook crochet hook. After making the three easy projects included in the "Learn to Knook" book (a ribbed scarf, cabled hand mitts, and a toddler's slouchy beanie), you'll know why yarn lovers everywhere are saying the Knook makes knitting fun. Move on to other Knook patterns, or create your own using regular knit or crochet patterns. The options are endless with this functional tool. Suddenly, you will be a crochet knitter, and no one will be able to tell the difference.
