 Kananginak Pootoogook , was an Inuk sculptor and printmaker who lived in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. He died as a result of complications related to surgery for lung cancer.^[1]

(1 January 1935 - 23 November 2010)

 BiographyPootoogook was born at a traditional Inuit camp called Ikerrasak or Ikirasak, near Cape Dorset, Nunavut (then in the Northwest Territories) to Josephie Pootoogook, leader of the camp, and Sarah Ninegeokuluk. The family lived a traditional lifestyle hunting and trapping while living in an iglu in the winter and a sod house in the summer and did not move into their first southern style house until 1942. In 1957 Pootoogook married Shooyoo, moved to Cape Dorset and began work for James Houston.^[2]
Originally, Pootoogook did some carving, made prints and lithographs for other artists. At the same time he was a leader in setting up the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative, the first Inuit owned co-op,^[3] now part of the Arctic Co-operatives Limited and served from 1959 until 1964 as the president. Although Kananginak had worked with his father, Josephie, in 1959, it was not until the 1970s that Kananginak began work as a full time artist producing drawings, carvings and prints. According to Terry Ryan, former Co-op manager, Pootoogook was both influenced by and an admirer of the works of his uncle, photographer and historian Peter Pitseolak.^[2]

The World Wildlife Commission released a limited edition set in 1977 that included four of Pootoogook's images and in 1980 he was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. In 1997 Pootoogook built a 6 ft (1.8 m) inukshuk in Cape Dorset for former Governor General of Canada, Roméo LeBlanc. The inukshuk was dismantled and shipped to Ottawa and with the assistance of his son, Johnny, it was rebuilt at Rideau Hall and unveiled on 21 June, National Aboriginal Day.^[2][4]
Pootoogook had several exhibitions and showings of his work. In 2010, he went to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics and to open a showing of his work at the Marion Scott Gallery. He also had a showing of his work, his first solo exhibition at a public institution, at the Museum of Inuit Art in Toronto from February to May 2010.^[5] He also received a 2010 National Aboriginal Achievement Award in the arts category from the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation.^[6][2]
While working on his final, and unfinished, drawing of a Peterhead owned by his father, he was struck by coughing spells, which he declared was cancer. Along with his wife, Shooyoo, he flew to Ottawa, staying at the Larga Baffin home, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. In October 2010, he underwent surgery and did not recover. He died 23 November 2010 in Ottawa. He is survived by his wife, seven children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and is buried in Cape Dorset.^[2]

Jean Cione, American baseball player (Rockford Peaches) died she was , 82

 Jean S. Cione [Cy]  was a pitcher who played from 1945 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 8", 143 lb., She batted and threw left-handed died  she was , 82.^[1]


(June 23, 1928 - November 22, 2010)

AAGPBL rules of play

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was a circuit that began to operate in 1943. Since the only organized ball for women in the United States was softball, the league oficcials created a hybrid game which included both fast-pitch softball and baseball. Compared to softball, the crucial differences were that nine (not ten) players were used, and runners could lead off, slide and steal bases. In its twelve years of history the AAGPBL evolved through many stages. These differences varied from the beginning of the league, progressively extending the length of the base paths and pitching distance and decreasing the size of the ball until the final year of play in 1954. For the first five years the circuit used a fastpitch underhand motion, shifted to sidearm in 1947, and never really became baseball until overhand pitching began in 1948.^[2]

Brief profile

Born in Rockford, Illinois, Jean Cione was a dominant lefty pitcher who enjoyed a prolific career over ten seasons in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Cione is regarded one of the few pitchers to make the successful transition from underhand to overhand through the many stages of the league, although she hurled on awful expansion teams that did not give her much run support. An All-Star, she posted a 76-65 record with a 2.33 earned run average in 169 career games and pitched three no-hitters. In addition, she was a member of a champion team and turned in an unassisted triple play. Interestingly, from 1909 through 2010 there have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in Major League Baseball history. After the league folded in 1954, Cione taught sports medicine and physical education at the university level for 29 years, earning inductions into several halls of fame across the United States.^[3][4][5]

Early years

Cione attended grades 1-12 in the Rockford Public School System, where she graduated in 1946. At school she used to play softball. In third grade she joined the boys' softball team, and when she reached eighth grade became to play on the Rock River School Boy's softball team, which competed with other league schools. In 1942, at age 14, she earned the first letter ever awarded to a girl by Rock River School. Cione later worked at J. L. Clarke, where she played on the company's girls team. She also taught herself the accordion, after being motivated by the piano music of Frankie Carle.^[3][6]
As she grew up, Cione showed an intense interest in athletics and outdoor activities, developing a practice that was to continue throughout the rest of his life. When she turned seventeen, she attended an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League tryout held at Racine under the direction of Max Carey. She passed the text and was offered a contract to play in the league.^[3]

AAGPBL career

1945 AAGPBL Champions Rockford Peaches
Back, L-R: Carolyn Morris, Margaret Wigiser, Marie Timm (chaperone), Bill Allington (manager), Mildred Deegan, Alva Jo Fischer and Jean Cione.
Middle, L-R: Dorothy Kamenshek, Kay Rohrer, Dorothy Harrell, Dorothy Green, Beth Carneth, Irene Applegren and Irene Kotowicz.
Front, L-R: Rose Gacioch, Dorothy Ferguson, Helen Filarski, Olive Little and Josephine Lenard.

Cione entered the AAGPBL in 1945 with the Rockford Peaches, a team based in her hometown of Rockford which was managed by Bill Allington. Other five teams competed in the 110-game regular season: the Fort Wayne Daisies, the Grand Rapids Chicks, the Kenosha Comets, the Racine Belles, and the South Bend Blue Sox.^[3][7]
The 1945 Peaches roster featured a perfect mix of experience and motivated young players, such as Mildred Deegan (2B), Dorothy Ferguson (3B), Rose Gacioch (P/OF), Dorothy Green (C), Dorothy Harrell (SS), Dorothy Kamenshek (1B), Josephine Lenard (OF), Olive Little (P), Carolyn Morris (P) and Margaret Wigiser (OF). Cione was used as a reserve first sacker for Kamenshek. Eventually, she pitched and played at outfield.^[3][8]
Since the beginning, Cione showed her skills in the field and was alert and cooperative with her manager and teammates. During that first year with the Rockford Peaches, I sharpened those raw skills and learned the strategies of the game from a manager that I consider the best in the league, Bill Allington from Van Eyes CA. He was a student of the game, and held practice sessions for us rookies and bench warmers every day the team played at home. I attribute my 10-year longevity in the league to my first year under this outstanding manager, she proudly recalled in her autobiography.^[3]
Rockford took the AAGPBL pennant with a 67-43 record, surpassing Fort Wayne (62-47), Grand Rapids (60-50), Racine (50-60), South Bend (49-60) and Kenosha (41-69). In the best-of-five Series playoffs, runnerup Fort Wayne defeated fourth-place Racine in four games; first-place Rockford eliminated third-place Grand Rapids in four games, and Rockford won the league championship by beating Fort Wayne in five games.^[9]
The Muskegon Lassies and Peoria Redwings were added as expansion teams for the 1946 season. Cione was sent to the Redwings, as the AAGPBL shifted players as needed to help new teams stay afloat. In 1947 she returned to Rockford. It was clear she was back where she belonged.^[7][10]
By April 1947, all of the league’s players were flown to Havana, Cuba for spring training. At the time, the Brooklyn Dodgers trained in the Cuban capital because Jackie Robinson, who would be the first Afro-American to play in the Major Leagues, was training with the Dodgers for the first time. By then, city ordinances in Vero Beach, Florida, where the Dodgers normally trained, prevented blacks and whites players from competing on the same field against each other. Notably, newspaper stories from Havana indicate that the All-American girls drew larger crowds for their exhibition games at Estadio Latinoamericano than did the Dodgers. That year, Cione responded winning 19 games for the Peaches while posting a stingy 1.30 ERA in her first full pitching season. Besides Cione, the roster of the Peaches included top notch veterans as Deegan, Ferguson, Gacioch, Green, Harrell and Kamenshek, as well as the newly arrived Lois Florreich (P) and Alice Pollitt (3B). Unfortunately, Rockford finished in sixth place with a 48-63 mark, out of contention. During the postseason, Grand Rapids defeated South Bend in five games while Racine ousted Muskegon in four games. In the final Series, Grand Rapids dispossed of Racine in seven games.^{[3][7][9][11]}
The next year Cione then found herself on the move again, this time to Kenosha (1948–1951), and then the Battle Creek Belles (1952) and Muskegon (1953), before returning to Rockford in the league's final year (1954). Her most productive season came in 1950, when she won 18 games and hurled a pair of no-hitters. In 1952 she went 2-5, but sported a 3.24 ERA and made the All-Star team.^[3]
In between seasons, Cione graduated from high school and went on to study at Eastern Michigan University, University of Illinois and University of Michigan.^[12]

Life after baseball

Following her baseball retirement, Cione received a bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University before earning her master's degree at the University of Illinois. From there, Cione took up teaching physical education in elementary school for a decade and then returned to EMU, where she taught sports medicine for nearly three decades. She was EMU's first women's athletic director as her alma mater established a women's athletic program, attaining gender equity in the sports programs there.^[12][13]

Honors and awards

Jean Cione is part of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. The exhibition was unveiled on November 5, 1988, to honor the entire All-American Girls Professional Baseball League rather than individual baseball personalities. She gained inductions into the Eastern Michigan University Athletic Hall of Fame (1986) and the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (2003), and also served as vice president of the AAGPBL Players Association while supervizing the organization's website.^[14][15][16]

A League of Their Own

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954. Lady pitchers, catchers, and fielders drifted into obscurity until 1992 when the film A League of Their Own was released. The film kindled a renewed interest in these trailblazers who have their own places in American history. While the film does not use real names, filmmaker Penny Marshall seemed to be aiming for realism, as her work includes fake newsreel footage and pseudo-documentary present day scenes at the beginning and end of the fictitious story. Since then, Cione and her teammates have become the darlings of the media. They have been honored several times for their significant contributions, responding to request for autographs and corresponding with young athletes interested in hearing of their days in the AAGPBL.^[17]
Jean Cione died at the age of 82 in Bozeman, Montana, where she had moved after retiring in 1992.^[12]

Rosaura Andreu, American actress died she was , 92

 Rosaura Andreu was an Texan Born actress who found wide fame in Puerto Rico as a children's television show host.

(1 January 1918 - 21 November 2010) 






Andreu, who was a struggling actress in her country, left Cuba after the revolution, arriving in Puerto Rico during the Puerto Rican television's formation era. She became known to the children television viewers in such programs as Romper Room con Berta and others.

During the 1970s, she became widely famous across her adopted island when the public television channel, WIPR-TV, started showing her show, El show de Titi Chagua. As Titi Chagua (Auntie Chagua), she earned the hearts of many Puerto Rican children, including many who had been born during that decade and had no knowledge of her previous work. As a matter of a fact, after a few years doing that show, she began to lose her personal identity; many fans would forget her real name and call her Titi Chagua at public places, fact which she appreciated.
The show had tough competition, such as WRIK / WLUZ's Sandra Zaiter show, WAPA-TV's El Show de Pacheco (with Joaquin Monserrat as Pacheco) and WKAQ-TV's El show del Tio Nobel. The four main children's shows in Puerto Rico at that era were shown at the same hour every weekday, to compete against each other (El Show de Tio Nobel also had Saturday and Sunday morning editions).
Nevertheless, Andreu's show stayed on the air until the middle 1980s, when WLUZ was sold and relaunched as WSTE in 1987.
Andreu remained friend of Monserrate until his death in 1996. She remains friends with Sandra Zaiter and with Nobel Vega (Tio Nobel), who now lives in Miami, Florida. They all agreed that their mission was to bring Puerto Rican children family oriented television shows, a point of view which allowed them to be friends despite the fact they competed against each other on television.
Retired from show business for a long time, Andreu currently lives comfortably in Orlando, Florida, and occasionally returns to Puerto Rico to re-enact her Titi Chagua character for television specials, fund raisers or other activities.
Living relatives in the United States are: Edgar Jose Avila,(Nephew and,Son Of Jose Arturo Avila) Nidia del pilar Avila Uzcategui, Jose Gregorio Avila, Myriam Mayela Avila, Edgar Michael Avila.

[edit] Death

Andreu died November 21, 2010, at the age of 92, at her home in Orlando, Florida.^[1]

They reportedly went to her home after that party.^[3] After he left Arkansas, she mailed him a love poem, which he returned to her, marked up with his compositional criticism.^[2] Four months later, having left her job,^[2] she moved with his help to a brownstone row house^[4] apartment in Brooklyn Heights, and became a model with Wilhelmina Models.^[2] She took on as a first name her former married name (Norris), and took Mailer's suggestion of "Church" as a surname.^[3]
Their son, John Buffalo Mailer, was born in 1978. They married in 1980,^[3] Church says she decided, in the early 1990s, to leave her relationship with him, over his extensive affairs, but he persuaded her otherwise.^[3]
Norman Mailer died in 2007.^[1] She published her memoir, A Ticket to the Circus, in 2010, and explains the title as describing her life with him, his seven children by his other wives, and her own two birth-children: "Well, I bought a ticket to the circus. I don't know why I was surprised to see elephants."^[3]
