The last part of the program, entitled 'In the Upper Room' is a ballet of 40 minutes duration with choreography by Twyla Tharp and music produced by Kurt Munkácsi, "the most modern of the three parts of the show, with great expressive force and that the public tends to put in place, "said Corella.
Al término de la exposición del director artístico de la compañía, Luisa Herrero destacó el carácter "poliédrico y amplio" del repertorio del espectáculo, que da inicio con a danza más clásica y concluye con toques modernos, así como la "impecable ejecución" de todos los bailarines que integran el Corella Ballet.

DANZA EN ESPAÑA DANCE IN SPAIN
Precisamente en este sentido, Corella también aprovechó la ocasión para incidir en la "enorme calidad" de sus bailarines, que fueron elegidos entre cerca de 1.400 aspirantes y que en su mayoría son españoles que antes trabajaban en compañías extranjeras y que lo dejaron todo por unirse a su iniciativa. It is in this sense, Corella also took the opportunity to influence the "enormous capacity" of its dancers, who were chosen from nearly 1,400 applicants, most of which are Spaniards who worked in foreign companies before and that he left everything to come together his initiative. "Para entrar en una compañía extranjera tienes que ser mucho mejor que los bailarines de ese país, por eso todos los que tenemos aquí son increíbles", argumentó. "To enter a foreign company have to be much better than the dancers in this country, so all we have here are unbelievable," he argued.
Asimismo, el bailarín se felicitó por el hecho de que la danza cada vez esté más vinculada con la sociedad y de la gran demanda de danza clásica que a su juicio existe en España, por lo que justificó la importancia de su compañía, la única en el país en esta modalidad. Likewise, the dancer welcomed the fact that dance is becoming more closely linked with society and the strong demand for classical dance in his opinion that exists in Spain, which justified the importance of his company, the unique this modality in the country.

Sen. Pam Roach Makes the Case For Jason Osgood
Sen. Pam Roach Makes the Case For Jason Osgood. Roach clearly and succinctly describes a problem for which there is one best solution; Jason Osgood!
Voters should choose King County elections director
June 16, 2006Voters should
Dean Logan’s upcoming departure as King County elections director ends a period in which many voters lost faith in our elections system. But it presents an opportunity to regain the people’s trust in this civic institution and make this crucial government position more accountable to the public.
King County is the only county in our state that allows its top elections official to be appointed (by its county executive), not elected by the people.
Voters in Washington’s 38 other counties choose their elections director, who is usually the county auditor. That’s the way it should be. Voting is the foundation of our democratic process. If that foundation is cracked, it not only reduces voters’ confidence and trust in this process, it also undermines the support and trust many of us have in our elected officials.
Now that the smoke has cleared, we can bring King County in line with the rest of the state by allowing its voters, rather than the county executive, to choose their elections director.
In 2005, I introduced Senate Bill 5667, which would make the chief elections official an elective office in all counties in Washington, including King County. The bill was favorably received but not acted on by the Legislature.
We all still remember the costly mistakes made by the county’s elections department that tarnished the 2004 gubernatorial election and left a bitter taste in the mouths of many voters, not only in King County but throughout Washington. Mistakes included overlooked absentee ballots left out of the count, provisional ballots tallied without verification of voter eligibility beforehand, and wide discrepancies in the records of voters voting and ballots cast.
It’s ironic that the one county in Washington that allows its elections supervisor to be appointed rather than elected happens to be the symbol for election problems in our state. The people in King County deserve better. Instead of being accountable to only one person, the elections director of Washington’s most populous county needs to be accountable to the voters.
Early this year, members of the Citizens Election Oversight Committee said King County should choose its elections director by a public vote. The committee, which was created by the King County Council to review elections procedures in the county, said voting for the director would increase the public accountability of that office.
And if the elections director doesn’t perform up to expectations? Then voters could remove him or her and elect someone else. That’s why we so desperately need to bring real accountability to this office!
King County shouldn’t wait for the Legislature to take action on this issue. In fact, there are two ways it can make its elections director an elected position: 1) through a county charter amendment adopted by the county council and then approved by voters; or 2) through a citizens initiative to change the county charter.
The King County Council should act now to provide accountability in our elections department by putting a charter amendment vote to the people this November.

Jessie Bloom Quoted at Knoll Funeral Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Knoll lauded at funeral
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
By Dennis B. Roddy, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Amid a keen of bagpipe and a whirlwind of memories, Catherine Baker Knoll, a woman who sometimes fought for respect, was paid tribute today in a cathedral filled with political leaders and presided over by seven bishops.
The powerful came: Gov. Ed Rendell, Sens. Bob Casey and Arlen Specter, members of the General Assembly.
Elsie Hillman, grand dame of the state's Republicans, sat alongside Democratic Auditor General Jack Wagner and joined him in offering the prayers of intercession.
Too, came the ordinary citizens who had brushed shoulders, pressed hands and shared chicken dinners and neighborhood coffees with Mrs. Knoll, the state's lieutenant governor who died Nov. 12.
"Whenever we called her she came. Whenever we needed someone," said Jessie Bloom, Democratic chair in Lycoming County, a place dominated by the GOP, and a venue to which party leaders often struggled to find high profile speakers for events.
"We always have trouble getting some of the candidates, particularly the statewide candidates, to come to this area. She never refused us," said Mrs. Bloom, who drove in from Williamsport for today's services at St. Paul's Cathedral in Oakland.
"I'm just devastated over this happening to her."
Mrs. Knoll, 78, of McKees Rocks, died of neuroendocrine cancer.

Kay Ertel Salutes Diane Glenwright's Work at the YWCA
According to former director Kay Ertel, one award not given during the ceremony was one honoring Diane Glenwright, the organization's executive director.
"One of the best things to happen to us is being able to have Diane Glenwright as our executive director," Ertel said. "She's so shy, but she's turned that place around."
Ertel discussed landmark programs that have occurred at the YWCA since it was founded locally in 1893. In 1912, the first area's first Girl Scouts unit was started by the organization. In 1913, it started a nursery for mothers, opened a cafeteria and began a visiting nurse program. In 1926, it opened an employment bureau for women.
According to Ertel, the organization has remained vital because it has been able to adapt to the changing needs of the community.
When Wise Options for Women - now known simply as Wise Options - was started in 1977, "the early years were quite a struggle," Ertel said. "Today, it is a strong, respected asset to our community."
