In memoriam: Those we lost in
Taiho May 29, — Jan. 19,
"Taiho showed he is still the strongest wrestler in sumo by overwhelming Tamanoumi in the final bout to hand his fellow yokozuna his only loss of the tournament and force a playoff. . . . In the playoff match, Taiho once again outmaneuvered Tamanoumi on the belt, effectively preventing his tough little opponent from getting both hands on the sash at any point in the bout. . . . Tama effectively offset his pound ( kg) opponent's arm-throw attempts with simultaneous arm-throws. . . . Tama then retaliated with a desperate attempt to hoist his opponent off his feet, but just didn't have the strength to pull it off. . . . Taiho immediately countered with an arm throw, and although it fell short of the target, it enabled him to drive Tama to the edge and finally pressure him past the straw boundary for the tourney-winning triumph." — Andy Adams, The Japan Times, January

When I arrived at Ballet Magnificat! one afternoon, Beth Kimura and the Omega Company dancers were rehearsing in a back studio lined with mirrors and filled with music. Her sleek, black hair and dark tights contrasted the white of the room, and her body gracefully moved about the room, her poise and technique blended into the movements of her figure.
Kimura, 24, abandoned the ocean and mountains for molehills and the Mississippi River when she moved to Jackson from Hawaii to dance with Ballet Magnificat! in
“People are laid back in the South, and Hawaii is the same,” Kimura says. “Everyone’s so laid back.”
Her parents raised Kimura and her younger brother in Mililani, Hawaii, at the center of Oahu island. When she was 9, she began taking ballet classes. By some standards, it was a late start, but Kimura believes she found her calling early.
“It wasn’t something that I was forced into,” she says. “I wanted to dance ballet.”
One of her ballet teachers there, Pamela Taylor-Tongg, encouraged her in both ballet and her Christian faith by urging her to dance from her heart.
“I want to use the gifts (the Lord) has given me to thank Him. I dance for a purpose—I have a reason to dance, a reason to move,” Kimura says.
At 16, Kimura won first place at the National Society of Arts
