Chasm corrects Glacier Park information


2008 Guild newsroom retiree Charles Montague, known by his memos as Chasm, corrects a previous BJ Alums posting that Glacier National Park is in the U.S. AND Canada.

Chasm’s email:

Glacier is a U.S. National Park.  It is only in Montana.

Abutting it to the north is Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park, which straddles the Alberta-BC boundary.
Charles Montague
It is a short drive from East Glacier Park Village north through customs to the town of Waterton Village, which is contained in the Canadian park.

 Many people take it to have high tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel and enjoy the view south of the main Waterton Lake, which is just as knock your socks off as the lakes in Glacier.

 Backpacking hikers can take a boat to the southern shore of the lake and the trek 3 days south through Waterton, across the border and back into Montana.

 You can take the train practically to the front door of Glacier Park Lodge because the Great Northern Railroad built the place in the early 1900s to get folks to ride the train to the park.

Chasm

In Googling for more information, you get this clarification:

The park is bordered on the north by Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, and the Flathead Provincial Forest and Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park in British Columbia. To the west, the north fork of the Flathead River forms the western boundary, while its middle fork is part of the southern boundary. The Blackfeet Indian Reservation provides most of the eastern boundary, and the Lewis and Clark and the Flathead National Forests form the southern and western boundary.

Chasm apparently has recovered sufficiently from his May 2012 heart attack, which required four stents, to email his Getting It Straight. Great! Thanks for the correction, Chasm.

Wal-Mart takes on college junior over D.C. living-wage bill


Wal-Mart is pitting its Senior Director of Communications Steve Restivo and its multi-million dollar PR team against Georgetown University junor and student op-ed columnist Erin Riordan in a media counter-attack. It’s part of Wal-Mart’s effort to get Washington, D.C.’s living-wage bill derailed.
In March, Walmart aggressively opposed the bill under the coalition label of Don’t Block Progress, which has Wal-Mart as its only self-identified public member.
Most Wal-Mart employees with children live below the poverty line, and qualify for food stamps, thus dumping Wal-Mart workers onto the taxpayers to supplement their Wal-Mart wages.
The average Wal-Mart take-home pay is less than $250 a week. In Massachussetts alone, Wal-Mart employees, by being under the $15,000 a year poverty level for a single person, cost the taxpayers $14.6 million annually. 

Nationwide, the average Wal-Mart employee costs taxpayers $3,000 a year in public assistance, which comes out to about $900,000 a year per supercenter and $4 billion annually in national cost to taxpayers for Wal-Mart workers.

70% leave Wal-Mart within a year so the high turnover makes organizing a union almost impossible. 
Increasing minimum wage would affect the employees, and Wal-Mart, dramatically.
Wal-Mart is the leading employer of people of color in the United States. More than 125,000 African-Americans and more than 74,000 Latinos work at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores nationwide.

Regina Brett explains why she volunteered to be laid off by the PD


Former BJ columnist Regina Brett, on her Facebook page, explains her decision to volunteer to be laid off by the Plain Dealer, although she will continue to write a column for the severely downsized Cleveland newspaper:


Regina Brett · 6,451 like this
Regina Brett

·        My writing will still appear regularly in The Plain Dealer even though I voluntarily took the layoff. i hope my decision helped save a job for someone else and will give me more time to write books & see my grandbabies. My heart hurts for my colleagues who lost their jobs today. I wish them all the best.



Regina Brett Thanks for all the well wishes. I will continue to write regularly for The Plain Dealer so I hope you will still follow me there, as well as here and on my blog at www.reginabrett.com

corrections to Abe Zaidain's Plain Dealer hit list. Regina Brett volunteered for layoff, but still will write for PD

Jim Romesko.com has corrections to Abe Zaidan’s Plain Dealer hit list.

UPDATE: From the Plain Dealer’s John Kroll:
Corrections I know of: These were volunteers — Margaret Bernstein, Tom Breckenridge, Dave Davis, Stan Donaldson, Pat Galbincea, Mark Gillispie, John Horton, Felesia Jackson, Doug Kramer, John Mangels, Racquel Robinson, Michael Scott, Scott Shaw, Harlan Spector. Not sure, but Deborah Miller and Bill Piotrowski may have been volunteers too. I think there were several others.
Also, this does not count two non-Guild managers — me, the Online Editor, a volunteer, and Randy Roguski, Business Editor./
Cindy Baecker was a photo tech, not a clerk. John Gruner was an editor in the features department, not a reporter. Felesia Jackson was an interactive graphics specialist. Mike Scott was a city desk editor, not a reporter. (In fact, Scott was the online coordinator for the metro desk.)
Another volunteer: columnist Regina Brett. She’s posted to Facebook that she chose to take the layoff to make room for someone else who might not want to leave, and will still write for the paper regularly, presumably as a freelancer.
A couple of things worth noting: Regina and Margaret were the paper’s only full-time female columnists (an editorial writer, Sharon Broussard, also writes columns).
Carl Matzelle, sports clerk, has lost his job to a layoff for the second time here. He had been a reporter when he was cut in the last big round, then got hired back as a clerk.

PD lays off 50, including Brett & Rosenberg. Dawidziak & Harris survive . . . for now.


PD and former BJ television critic Mark Dawidziak sent this email to the BJ Alums blog:

You may have already heard this, but . . .  You knew this was coming, of course, and, turns out, this is the morning that the Plain Dealer is announcing the elimination of one-third of the newsroom personnel. 

We were told to wait by our phones from 8 to 10 a.m. to hear our fate. I must have got the first phone call of the morning (just seconds after 8). I'm NOT being separated from employment (to use their euphemism for fired).

Now comes the awful stretch of finding out who didn't make the cut. I'm off to Elmira tomorrow to deliver a paper at the State of Mark Twain Studies Conference and a reunion with Hal (Holbrook) and David (Bianculli).

Don Rosenberg
I'm pleased, of course, but that relief is tempered by the realization that so many good people will lose their jobs today -- including, as hard as this is to report, Don Rosenberg.

    

Rosenberg left the BJ as classical musical critic to go to the PD years ago.

David Bianculli was the BJ’s TV critic before he left for the New York Post, where he no longer works, and was replaced at the BJ by Dawidziak. Bianculli is a college instructor in journalism and contributes to National Public Radio.

Mark Dawidziak
The Save the Plain Dealer Facebook page reported that 50 – more than one-third of an already-depleted staff – were laid off. That leaves 110 Guild employees. SPD said the New Jersey-based Advanced Publications, a private Newhouse company and owners of the PD, has laid off more than 1,500 nationally in its newsrooms in a move toward digital publishing. 

The PD switches to three days a week for home delivery Aug. 5, but copies are available daily at some outlets. Northeast Ohio Media Group, a PD subsidiary, is handling the transformation.

The PD dropped former BJ artist John Backderf’s comic strip, “The City,” which has run in more than 100 newspapers. Plain Dealer president/publisher Terry Egger said another round of layoffs will come later this summer. So even today's survivors aren't out of the woods necessarily. Apparently 110 is too many Guild employees for Newhouse.

Former BJ reporter Sheryl Harris, consumer writer, also survived the cut. So did Michael Heaton and Bill Livingston, who were not BJ expatriates. Guild president Harlan Spector was among the voluntary layoffs. 

When the BJ Alums blog learns the names of the others “separated” from the PD, we will pass them along on this blog. Since two dozen BJ newsroom personnel switched to the PD, there may be more names familiar to BJ alumni on the fired list. Some of the BJ folks who went to Cleveland already are gone from the PD, too, as the situation got worse and worse.

It’s yet another sad, sad day in Northeast Ohio and national newspaper journalism. The main culprits are the Internet and newspaper managements’ unwillingness to embrace the Internet in its infancy and become a leader in it rather than continuing management strategy that was a century old.

Nationwide, the New Jersey-based company, owned by one of America’s richest families, has gotten rid of more than 1,500 journalists’ jobs since launching its ill-conceived “digital first” strategy in 2012.


Per the "Save the Plain Dealer" campaign, all employees will gather in support of one another outside the newsroom.  A news conference and rally will be held outside 1801 Superior Ave. at 6 p.m.

At 7 p.m., the newsroom crowd will congregate at Market Garden Brewery. If you happen by, do send a round their way.

McBane keeps busy writng

Dick McBane kees busy writing. The latest SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) publication is entitled Inventing Baseball: The 100 Greatest Game of the Nineteenth Century. My contribution is the game of June 26, 1881, with Akron at Louisville. The piece is titled "Mullane vs. Reccius for Eighteen Innings." Tony Mullane of the Akrons and John Reccius of the Louisvilles both pitched the entire game which was called due to darkness at the end of the 19th inning as a 2-2 tie. Alas for the error in the headline. Whatever happened to proof readers?


    I don't see anything in my copy of the book that gives instructions on where or how to obtain a copy, but I understand it is available both in print and by electronics. Presumably contacting www.sabr.org gets you to the website that would have the pertinent information.

Art Cullison remembered a year after his death


After this blog item are published, another BJer posted on Art's guest book:

July 30, 2013
Dear Helen and friends,
I only knew Art for what seemed a short time in the Akron Beacon Journal newsroom before he retired but he was a great copy editor and wonderful person. He knew a lot about the area and its people and always would help if you had a question. He will be missed. Sincerely, Olga Reswow


By John Olesky (BJ 1969-96)

Art Cullison died July 26, 2012. When I received notice that Art’s online funeral home guest book would be closed Aug. 3, a few days more than a year after his passing, I checked out who signed the guest book provided by the Beacon Journal.

Art Cullison
I was amazed that only three people (I was one) signed Art’s guest book. He was 92, so he out-lived a lot of his friends, but I was surprised that more of his living former co-workers didn’t chime in.

At least 10 BJ alumni did show up at Billows Funeral Home to bid farewell to Art in person -- including photographer Bill Hunter, the newsroom’s Carol Camp, Carl Dangel, Harry Liggett, Ann Sheldon Mezger and husband Roger Mezger, Tom Moore, Lloyd Stoyer, John Olesky and artist Chuck Ayers.

Art's wife, Helen Louise, was an English teacher. There must have been some intelligent conversations in the Cullison household.

I can’t let the anniversary of Art’s passing go by, belated though I might be by three days, without calling attention again to one of most erudite copy editors – along with the late Hal Fry – in Beacon Journal history.

RIP, Art.

The online Guest Book signings for Art

Helen Louise and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Art was one of the best at the BJ. His sense of humor was unsurpassed. He will be missed.

Helen Louise and Family,
I have such beautiful memories Of Art.
Please accept my deepest condolennces.

Margaret Kraus Mahurin

August 03, 2012
Art was erudite and, with Hal Fry, made the Beacon Journal copy desk perhaps the most intelligent and accurate one west of the New York Times. I am sorry for the loss to the Cullison family and to the Beacon Journal family. His passing has been respectfully noted on the BJ Alums retirees blog on the Internet.

BJ reunion at Akron Arts Expo


There was a BJ reunion at Akron’s Hardesty Park today, site of the Akron Arts Expo, which was ending a four-day run.

Roger Mezger and wife Ann Sheldon Mezger, Paula Tucker and John Olesky bumped into each other and chatted about the impending PD slash-and-burn newsroom personnel cuts, due any day now.

From left: Ann Sheldon Mezger,
Roger Mezger, John Olesky
Ann once was in charge of the BJ Features Dept. Roger was among about two dozen BJ folks who switched to the Plain Dealer. Paula was a 1970s State Desk reporter. John was her assistant  State Desk editor.

Ann and Roger are accustomed to encountering BJ folks. 

In 2010 they vacationed with former BJ reporter Charlene Nevada and her husband, former BJ Art Dept. chief Art Krummel, and Sue Reynolds, newsroom administrative assistant for decades before her retirement, and her husband, Roger Reynolds, a retired history teacher and coach from Green High, in Garden City Beach, south of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The sixsome bumped into retired printer Dick Latshaw, who lives on Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

There were a lot more BJ folks vacationing together in the decades when former printer Bill Gorrell had his rentals across the street from the Siesta Key, Florida beach, famed for its cool sugar-sand and often listed among the top beaches in the nation and the world by various travel magazines.

About the only ones left from those gatherings are retired printer Gina White, who lives in Venice, Florida, and is the widow of former Composing foreman Dave White; Hugh Downing, who lives in The Villages, Florida, and John Olesky, who lives with Paula in Tallmadge. 

Most of the others, unfortunately, have passed away.

Ann and Roger are planning a train trip to Glacier National Park, which covers a million acres in Montana.  The Blackfeet and Flathead tribes roamed the land before the white man came along.

The nearest Montana city is Kalispell, which has about 20,000 residents, depending on how many elk and moose are included.


Kidd Kraddick dies raising money for his charity

Ohio native David "Kidd Kraddick" Peter Cradick, whose nationally syndicated morning radio show, “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning,” is on more than 100 radio stations, died Saturday in New Orleans at a golf tournament to raise money for his Kidd's Kids Charity. The show was broadcast from 7-11 a.m. Eastern time weekdays.
Kidd Kraddick
He was also seen on the nationally syndicated “Dish Nation” television show weeknights around the United States.
Kraddick was born in Napoleon, Ohio and grew up in Dunedin, Florida.
Kraddick received the nickname "Kidd" from a radio producer at a station where he was the youngest employee.
In 1991, Kraddick founded the 501(c)3 charity, The Kraddick Foundation, dedicated to helping impact the lives of children who have terminal or chronic illnesses or are accident victims. It consists of "Kidd's Kids," which takes a planeload of these children (age 5-11) and their families to Walt Disney World for 5 days every November. In 2010, the charity grew to include "The Glamour Squad" which visits hospitals around the country and provides a day of pampering inside the hospital for teenage girls.

Johnson of Masters & Johnson dies


Virginia Johnson, the pioneering sex researcher who was part of the groundbreaking team Masters and Johnson,
William Masters, Virginia Johnson
died Tuesday in St. Louis at age 88. Masters and Johnson conducted the first modern research on sexuality and the treatment of sexual dysfunction that paved the way for the sexual revolution.

The work of Johnson and William H. Masters, who were married to each other, began in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Washington University in St. Louis and continued at the independent not-for-profit research institution they founded in St. Louis in 1964, originally called the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation and renamed the Masters & Johnson Institute in 1978.

Cleveland native Masters died in 2001.

PD dropping Derf strip


The Plain Dealer is dropping Richfield native and Ohio State University graduate John Backderf’s comic strip, “The City.” The strip has run in more than 100 newspapers.

Derf’s Facebook post:

John Backderf
Well, just got word from the managing editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that next Monday's strip will be the last. The section where my strip appears is being eliminated. I guess this means the layoffs and end of home delivery are about to happen as well. Good times.

I’ve enjoyed my run in the PD. Lasted almost two full years.

It’s an unwelcome financial blow, so I’ll have to scramble to find other revenue. I have some things in the works, but it looks to be a pretty lean rest of the year until I pull these book proposals together and land another deal.

Derf was a staff artist-cartoonist for the Plain Dealer from 1986-89 and for the Akron Beacon Journal from 1990-1999. He was more awards than you can shake a stick at, local and national. 

Derf is married to Sheryl Harris, a former BJ reporter who became a business writer at the Plain Dealer.

Word is that one-third the remaining PD newsroom staff will be axed within the week.

John Hambrick has terminal cancer

Former Cleveland news anchor John Hambrick, 73, with WEWS-Channel 5's "Eyewitness News" went it rose from third to first place in the early 1970s, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Texas native Hambrick move to Georgetown, north of Austin, after retiring from television. He began his TV career in Texas in 1963 at a station in Abilene. He was working at Cincinnati’s WCPO-Channel 9 before switching to Cleveland in 1967. 

He stayed eight years before being replaced by Ted Henry and moving on to anchor KABC-Channel 7 in Los Angeles, KRON-Channel 4 in San Francisco, WNBC-Channel 4 in New York, Miami’s WTVJ and WCIX.

Three Hambrick brothers became news anchors -- Judd Hambrick, in Cleveland at WKYC-Channel 3 and WJKW (now WJW)-Channel 8. Mike Hambrick, a reporter and anchor in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Dallas and Washington, D.C., had a  brief run as a noon anchor at Channel 5.

John Hambrick won three Emmys, two in New York and one in Miami.

President Lyndon Johnson learned of his daughter Luci’s engagement when Thomas reported it.
