Indywood
Assisted Living: The next best thing to home In September of 2002, Indywood assisted living facility opened its doors in Cleveland. Eleta Grimmett, owner of the facility, also features two other assisited living facilities in Greenwood and Indianola. Grimmett says, "We had an interest is Cleveland, and many of the residents in our Indianola facility were from Cleveland." Grimmett is also quick to point out that Indywood is not a nursing home, but rather provides residents with personal care to meet their needs, while preserving their independence and providing a community environment. Yet another interesting aspect of Indywood is that the public is welcome to call and stop by for a visit, and several events are catered to help encourage public interaction. "We feature a wine and cheese social event of Fridays," says Gloria Cranford, Activities director for the Cleveland Facility. Indywood features three different care levels and features a multitude of services ranging from transportation to healthcare. For more information on the services and care levels provided at Indywood, they can be reached at (662) 843-7885. |

Traditionally the piano is played via its keys. However, Dr. Karen Fosheim explores the lesser know ways to play a piano during a program focusing on 20th Century American composers on March 31, 2003 at 8 pm in the BPAC Recital Hall on campus. Foshiem a Professor of Music at Delta State University, said, "This eclectic presentation will be very different from the typical piano recital. The audience may see and hear things that they have never before associated with the instrument." She adds, "A major focus of 20th Century music was exploring the variety of sound possibilities of an instrument." |

| Throughout
her program, Dr. Fosheim will demonstrate the progression of new
techniques for the piano. Techniques include strumming, plucking,
muting, groaning, and screeching the instruments strings. She'll
also recreate the developments of the 1940's transforming the "sound"
of the piano into a percussion ensemble. The feature work on the program is George Crumb's A Little Suite for Christmas, A.D. 1979. This suite is based on frescoes depicting the life of Jesus by Giotto from the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy. In this work, the composer combines traditional piano technique with the 20th Century techniques of inside the piano strumming, plucking, harmonics, and muting. Images of the Giotto frescoes will be projected during the performance. Other pieces included in the performance will illustrate the manipulation of strings o create the groaning and screeching sounds of creatures found in Irish ledged, as well as prepared piano. This technique allows the performer to place objects between the strings creating a new bank of timbres. Foshiem will use weather stripping, cloth, wood, rubber erasers, and metal screws, bolts, and nuts. The composer of the final work on the program fuses the blues and classical styles and uses the piano to imitate the mechanical sounds of a cotton gin with machine-like repetition of chord clusters. The performance is free and open to the public. |
