The James Logan Courier

By Ronnell Coaster, Courier Staff Writer

James Logan HS had a dual meet against Irvington last week and won it.

Irvington had a lot of great runners but Logan was still able to prevail over them.

Willie Latin, Rufus Wollo, Damond Beasley, and Karsten Weighthington took first place in the 4-by-100-meter relay race.

Stir in a little Lovecraft and magic, season it with apocalyptic gloom, and you have "Joe Golum and the Drowning City."

Horror author Christopher Golden and artist Mike Mignola, creator of the comic "Hellboy," have collaborated on an illustrated novel.

New York is "The Drowning City" set in an alternate world where earthquakes in 1922 start disasters that culminate with half of Manhattan under water.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996), also known as "Lady Ella" and the "First Lady of Song", is considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th Century.

With a vocal range spanning three octaves, she was noted for her purity of tone, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. She is widely considered to have been one of the supreme interpreters of the Great American Songbook.

Listen to Ella Fitzgerald perform "Sing Me a Swing Song," recorded in 1936, free from npr.org.
