The Neighbor on Your Screen

Local broadcasters open up about life on and off the set

By Chris Watson

Diane Larson Nightly Co-Anchor at 13abc

No other media has changed like local television news Not radio, not movies, not daily print or periodicals. “When I first started,” says Toledo broadcast icon Jerry Anderson, co-anchor at WTOL 11, “we had a few cut ins during the morning shows, a half-an-hour at lunch, and two half-hour segments in the evening. Maybe two or two-and-a-half hours of broadcast. Now, we do over nine hours of local news broadcasts, including our FOX affiliate.”

The changes in broadcast news are a combination of substance, tone, presentation, even basic writing. “Technology has definitely changed things, even the way we tease a story,” remarks Lee Conklin, co-anchor at WTVG 13. “We used to say things like, ‘Find out how the city council voted tonight.’ That statement has no meaning in today’s broadcast profession. After all, anyone can find that information seconds after the vote occurs. We now say things like ‘Reactions to today’s council vote…’

Everything we do is much more immediate.”

Capitalizing on technology

Perhaps the most dramatic technological advancements in broadcast news have come in the area of the weather report. “When I first started,” says Jay Berschback, chief meteorologist at WTVG 13, “phones had cords attached to a wall and if you were lucky enough to have a mobile phone, it came in a bag.” Berschback, a graduate of the University of Michigan’s School of Engineering

in atmospheric, oceanic, and space sciences, started his broadcast career in the ’90s. “Now your cell phone is your computer, your phone, your assistant and of course your television.

It can also be your meteorologist.”

Jay Berschback, Chief Meteorologist at 13abc

Diane Larson, WTVG 13’s long standing co-anchor, agrees with Berschback. “Certainly there is no better place to get information about breaking weather news than our station. If you have a tornado warning in your county you want someone like Jay who lives here. But across the news spectrum we now have the ability to make friends with social media and find ways to deliver instant news via text alerts as news happens. This enables us to immediately inform our viewers and provide more fleshed out

6

and complete stories when it comes time to do an actual broadcast.”

WTOL 11 Sports Director Dan Cummings agrees. “Back when I started broadcasting going ‘live’ was still a big deal. Our only way to be live and out of town for a game was to send stuff back via satellite.

Now we have internet capability to edit stories in the field then send them back via WIFI.” Cummings, who has been with the station since 1980, took over as Sports Director in 1996 with the retirement of the area’s well-loved sports broadcaster Orris Tabner. “This ability to be right in the middle of things as they happen, from a great local sports game to major stories like the water crisis or election night is not only a change but it is the very reason why local broadcasting is so important.”

Kristian Brown, Conklin’s onair partner at the news desk weekdays at 5:30pm, is no stranger to viewers, having been with the WTVG 13 team since 2002. Her work in reporting previous to the 13abc news team led to an Emmy Award for that station and she’s a member of the Ohio School Board Association Media Hall of Fame for her reports on education.

A fan of tech’s influence on news, she says it impacts the way stories are created. “We find insight and are able to contact sources quicker. We can also requests interviews on social media verses making a phone call or knocking on your door. Experts now say more people get their news from social media than ever before.”

WTVG News Anchor Kristian Brown, with daughters Laila and Lauren

Relevant to viewers

Making a story directly and intimately relevant to viewers is Kristi Leigh’s fundamental goal. Leigh joined Anderson at the WTOL anchor desk just this year. “Society continues to be driven by instant gratifications. Everything is at our fingertips. Eating shopping, news...it is all instant and available.” Leigh, who has a degree in broadcast journalism from BGSU and is a 2000 graduate of Maumee High School, is constantly aware of the immediacy of technology. “Clearly, even in my 10 years in the news, digital is queen.

I no longer feel like I am broadcasting a story. I feel like I am sharing it with my viewers. And they want to share back. They want to give their opinions and share their reactions with friends, family, and coworkers.

I ask at the end of almost every story, ‘What do you think?’ With today’s digital technology, that question isn’t rhetorical.”

might be our biggest competitors, but it has turned into a collaboration: we report a story, we post in on the web, we link it to Facebook and Twitter which in turn drives consumers back to our website and often to our broadcast.”

The view from off the set

13abc anchor Lee Conklin shoots hoops in his down time

Staying in the game

“There is tremendous pressure,” says Conklin, “to keep our younger viewer. To do this we have to meet our viewers where they are at, not where we would want them to be.

This, of course, means the whole menu of social media options. That makes local TV more viable. So many sources of information, from tweets to posts, are sterile. We broadcasters get to put a face on that information.” Conklin laughs a bit at the technological changes. “I am known for wearing my heart on my sleeve.

When I am doing a quick update on Facebook Live, there is no place to hide or cover. This gives all of our viewers a chance to ‘go behind the curtain’ of the news.”

“When I get a one on one with a national figure,” say Anderson, “I am not going to ask the same questions as a national reporter. Anyone can go to a press pool interview and get the general information of a presidential candidate or large company CEO. What gives local news a competitive

May 2017

edge is that we develop relationships with our viewers. Via social media, we know what is on their mind, not in general but that day. A national

Because they are in our homes daily, it feels like we know them. Still, like any neighbor, they may surprise us.

Anderson, for instance, is a State of Ohio licensed auctioneer. “I only do it for charity events,” he remarks, casually. Still, it is quite an undertaking, including two written tests, conducting 12 auctions as an apprentice, about 80 hours of school, and then a demonstration auction in front of a board.

Conklin has run five marathons and once made 97 out of 100 free throws.

He also confesses to loving nachos.

“My favorite place is to have them at home in the living room. I get home after the evening broadcast, everyone is asleep, and sit with a plate of cheese covered chips. Nothing better…”

I have worked with Diane for over 20 years. It is very rare and special to get to work successfully with someone for that long in broadcasting.” network reporter can’t give that take.

As long as we stay flexible enough to respond positively to our viewers information appetite and keep up on moment to moment events, we stay relevant.”

Larson takes the long view of the industry. “A recent Pew study found that most people still get their local news from television; most people get their information from a screen and so far that screen of choice is the TV. We used to think mobile devices

Larson likes to do things herself. “I love home remodeling and renovation. I do a ton of work myself, from flooring, painting, and rehabbing.

You can tell by my lack of fingernails and occasionally bruised knees.”

On the news, Brown is a huge fan of meeting new people and telling their stories. Off the news, she’s all about her family— though the two worlds occasionally overlap. “People are surprised by my twins and the fact that they are nine. It feels like I was pregnant yesterday. Most people stop me

and ask about Laila and Lauren and they are always surprised about how long it’s been.”

Berschback met his wife in kindergarten and dated 10 years and a day before getting married. They have since been together for 19. Cummins is a self proclaimed “geek” about yard work and strives for the perfect lawn.

Leigh, this past December, visited friends in New Zealand and traveled the country hiking, camping, backpacking and staying in hostels.

“I learned the art of drinking coffee black and whiskey straight.”

Even with all of these diverse personalities and hobbies, there is one thing that they all share: gratitude. Spend any time off set with these professionals and it all comes back to how grateful they are to do what they do.

“I know it is cliché and I don’t care.

I keep saying it because it is true,” says Conklin. “I am very fortunate to work with and for the people I do. I have worked with Diane for over 20 years. It is very rare and special to get to work successfully with someone for that long in broadcasting.”

Larson reflects her co-anchor’s sentiments. “I love showing people what happened during the day and hearing from the newsmakers in their own words. And I am grateful that I get to be the storyteller... sharing all the information our wonderful reporters, photojournalists and producers gather throughout the day. I love the collaborative effort. Lee and I might be the conductors, but the train is connected by so many talented professionals.”

Cummings is grateful for the excitement. “There is nothing like a TV news room... from the early day right through the build up to the newscasts. Sure, there are slow days, but not very many. I love that feeling and CONTINUED ON P. 8

am conscious about how important our work is. Local news has never been more vital to our community. It bonds us together.”

Berschback has a deep sense of appreciation for the human factor of broadcasting. “Look, sometimes people just want to get their forecast

from a person. I am really grateful that they still do. So much of our lives is impersonal, from ATMs to drive-through windows. Add texting and emailing and we live in a sterile world. But people still want to interact with the person predicting their weather. That interaction isn’t always

easy through a television screen but we work hard every day to give the viewer a feeling like we are right in their home delivering the weather.”

Leigh gets the final word. “I can’t say enough about how blessed I feel to be here. Sure, as a mother I know the schedule is challenging. But I get to

work and learn from Jerry Anderson.

I grew up watching this station. Now I get to co-anchor the news. I don’t care if it sounds overly dramatic. It is a dream come true.”

Giving The Little House with the Purple Door

Unruly Arts’ meaningful mission

By Pamela S. Crabtree “Love at first sight with clients who are happy and giving.” That’s how Vicki Dougherty describes her feelings regarding the developmentally disabled artists who ply their talents in the little house with the purple door. For the past two months, Dougherty has served as studio manager for the Unruly Arts studio, located at 5403 Elmer Drive in Toledo, adjacent to the Toledo Botanical Gardens.

Fulfilling a mission

Toledo is fortunate to claim Unruly Arts as its own. UA’s mission is “to provide a process-oriented environment which is open to people of all ages and abilities to create art without restrictions or boundaries. The studio operates with a spirit of openness and joy, guiding each individual to showcase their talent and ability and create professional opportunities to exhibit and sell their work.

Lori Schoen, art director, said Unruly Arts was born the summer of 2016 “when a group of artists started meeting on the porch of my house, getting together once a week and painting and working together. When it became cooler we moved to a garage and ended up finding an incredible spot.” They moved into rental space at the TBG site on January 3, 2017, although UA is not affiliated with TBG.

Range of mediums and ages

“I have six artists who are jewelry makers, painters, clay artists and glass artists,” Schoen says. The artists range in age from 25 to 43 with varying disabilities.

Because Unruly Arts is artist driven, “if they want to learn a certain thing we try to offer it. We are a process-oriented studio,” she explains.

10

One artist, Shanna Richie, 27, from Sylvania, suffers from epilepsy, a seizure disorder. “I do jewelry, painting and mixed mediums. I like anything and everything. I have always liked art and have found my calling. I am happy coming to Unruly Arts,” Richie says.

Studio manager Dougherty has been volunteering with Schoen and says working at Unruly Arts is “like working with a family with great volunteers.”

Unruly Arts seeks to collaborate with other organizations, Schoen says, “We hope to make connections and collaborate with senior centers and the Ability Center and anybody who has an interest.”

Unruly Arts is a 501©3 non-profit and they are self-funded and rely on sales and donations for sustenance. Neither Schoen nor Dougherty receive a salary.

“When the artists sell a piece we split the profits 50/50” says Schoen. Unruly Arts is looking for donations, which are tax deductible. All donations are appreciated, both monetary as well as painting supplies, brushes, art supplies or gift cards from arts and craft stores.

Unruly Arts is open 10am-3pm Tuesday, Thursday and Friday but will expand its hours as the weather warms. UA invites people to visit the Facebook page a facebook.com/unrulyarts/ or contact Lori Schoen at 419-704-5941.

Fashion The best spring 2017 trends for women over 50 Lots of fashion excitement

by Pat Nowak Spring and summer are here– are you ready? The warmer weather and longer days bring with it a POP of color. This season, there are strong colors and patterns, military inspired details, and shades of pink galore.

According to Amy Parker at Amy’s Alley “pastels play importantly into this spring’s color palette and the preppy influence is still popular.

Denim continues to be strong as do rompers”.

Paula Brown from the Paula Brown Shop tells us that personalization is the important factor this season. The classics with a twist remain strong as does color. Chunky jewelry is passe but classic jewelry repurposed is enjoying huge popularity. The Paula Brown Shop is bringing in Barbara Heinrick on May 10 and 11 - she will be showing her personal collection as well as assisting customers to repurpose their jewelry so if you have those pearls that are looking a little tired - give them new life.

Let’s look at some of the trends for 2017:

Bold & bright stripes The bold color trend for spring 2017 continues into stripes. Get ready for colorful, bold stripes in wide and smaller prints across dresses, shirts, pants, and accessories.

Khaki & utility details

Khaki, light brown, beige, military green and utility inspired separates bring a more pared down tone to spring 2017. Look for military-inspired jackets, vests and trench coats, and shirt-dresses in khaki. You’ll see details like zippers, cargo pockets, and other utilitarian-style elements.

Florals

Spring means florals in a big way this season. This season’s pattern of festive florals ranges from delicate small prints to oversized bright and bold patterns on clothing and even accessories like shoes and purses.

Menswear inspired

Rose/Pink

Pink runs the gamut from a bright rose to hints of the blush. It is clear with red undertones and we will see it on coats, skirts, dresses and accessories.

The white poplin shirt

Who doesn’t have a white shirt in her closet? This season will be no different. However we will be updating the

May 2017

trend and the shirts will be seen an oversized shirt, as a dress, and with uneven hemlines and asymmetrical edging.

Add some menswear inspiration this season for a fresh spring look. Details include menswear fabrics, striped shirts borrowed from the guys, vests, suiting fabric, and other masculine details interpreted in a female style.

Ruffles

This is the year to bring out your feminine side– ruffles are seen on necklines

Amy Parker of Amy’s Alley Displays the current trends in her shop.

and shoulders and everywhere. Look for ruffles in every variety, from bold, oversized ruffled necklines on evening wear to daintier, bohemian ruffles on the front of shirts or dresses. And look for fringe details on sleeves or used as layers on jackets and dresses.

Athleisure

The athleisure trend, so big last year, continues to dominate into spring with sporty details appearing on pants, jackets, shoes, and even dresses. Stretchy fabric, zippers, blocks of color, bomber jackets, and mesh add a gym feel to everyday basics.

’80s details

Who remembers the ’80s? Well, they are back and are adding a glitzy edge to style this spring. Look for metallic fabrics, larger shoulders and lapels on jackets, oversized blazers and bright, primary colors reminiscent of that era. You can easily add just a touch of ’80s with accessories, like a glittery belt, metallic bag or shoe, or a dress in a pure, bright color.

Shoulder details

The cold shoulder trend from last season continues with even more variety. Look to see more cold shoulder tops and dresses but also other details that highlight and expose the shoulders like exaggerated cowl necks, off the shoulder looks, and one shoulder tops and dresses.

Meredith Sherman from Sophia Lustig states “everyone needs a look that features off the shoulder or a cold shoulder - it is such a feminine look especially when worn in a citrony color such as coral. The best advice is to show up in whatever you wear in a what makes you happy and a smile”.

It’s always good to add a couple of new trends into your closet each year while adding to your current wardrobe with updated accessories. Your wardrobe is current and your style factor is fabulous.

By Justin Lavelle In today’s landscape, it is not uncommon to receive multiple robocalls a week on both your landline and your cell phone, even though you’ve registered your phone numbers with the Do Not Call Registry. They’re offering everything from lower credit card rates to free vacations and medical alert devices. Not only annoying, many of these calls also come with a high probability of scam. Robocall scams are run by con artists trying to trick you out of your money and they simply ignore the law. Here are some must-know tips for putting an end to robocalls: Do register with the Do Not Call Registry. Although the Do Not Call Registry isn’t always consistent, it’s important to register with them to help eliminate a good portion of calls. If you’ve been on the Do Not Call Registry for a month or longer and still get calls, file a complaint with the FTC. It doesn’t take long, and sometimes enough complaints can get policy changed. Report illegal robocalls to the Federal Trade Commission at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov or call 888-225-5322.  If you’re constantly being called by the same few numbers, consider blocking them. A variety of apps and services, many of them free, make it possible to cut down on unwanted calls on some landline and mobile phones (both Android and iOS) by blocking them, alerting you to a possible robocall, or forwarding suspicious calls to voicemail.  Set up “Anonymous Call Rejection” option. Call your phone provider to find out if this option is available for your landline. It lets you screen out calls from callers who have blocked their caller ID information— a tactic of telemarketers.  Sign up for Nomorobo. Nomorobo uses a “simultaneous ring” service that detects and blocks robocalls on a blacklist of known offender numbers. Similar to the Do Not Call Registry, it’s not infallible, but adds a layer of protection. It’s free for landlines and subscription based for mobile. Go to nomorobo.com  If you do not recognize the phone number on your caller ID, do not answer the phone. Let it go to voicemail or the answering machine. Most telemarketers will hang up and not leave a message. If it’s important, the caller will leave a message. If you answer and there’s a pause, that’s often an indication of a robocall, and you should simply hang up. Never follow the automated voice asking you to press 1. Do not push any numbers to reach a live operator; this signifies that the autodialer has reached a live number and will probably lead to more robocalls.  Block incoming numbers on your cell phone. Most cell phone providers allow you to block an incoming number to your cell. After the call comes in, follow your provider’s instructions for blocking the number from calling you again.  Download a call-screening app to your cellphone. To help with robo telemarketing calls and robo spam texts to your cellphone, get a call-screening app such as Truecaller or PrivacyStar that screens and blocks them.  Sign the Consumer Union petition at EndRobocalls.org to pressure phone companies to start offering free call-blocking technology.  Go online to look up a phone number you’re unsure about. The site will let you know the scam potential of the phone number you’re checking on even if it doesn’t have the company name listed.  Give out your phone numbers sparingly. Resist the urge to provide a phone number unless is absolutely necessary. Just because you’re asked for it, doesn’t mean you’re required to provide it.

Cam McIroy from Mark’s Marine Pharmacy in Vancouver, British Columbia indicated that he felt the reason prices in the US were so high is because drug companies set their own prices here, while in Canada, the government controls drug prices.

Legal concerns

Especially infuriating is how little the components of expensive drugs actually cost pharmaceutical companies.

by Stephen Roberts PhD As we all know, there is a problem with rising health care costs. The Brookings Institute revealed that middle income spending on healthcare has increased 25 percent from 2007 to 2014. The Kaiser Family Foundation discovered that deductibles for individual workers have risen 67 percent since 2010. Drug cost increases contribute to this problem.

William Faloon, a cofounder of the Life Extension Foundation, believes that the solution to this problem is to amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to allow increased competition fromgeneric drugs, suggesting that the end result would be both generic and patented pharmaceutical prices falling.

Faloon also recommends contacting your political representatives. The following site provides example letters that can be edited before sending by email: LifeExtension.com/consumer.

Hopefully politicians will act.

Canadian alternatives

Another strategy that individuals may choose to use to cope with rising drug prices is to order drugs from Canada using a reputable online pharmacy.

I carried out a price comparison for Xarelto (used for blood clots) between U.S. retail and a Canadian online/retail outlet pharmacy. (The site indicates that the drug was obtained from a Canadian source.) The cost for 90, 20 mg tablets in the United States is $1,170.00 (Good Rx). The same order from the

18

Some people are concerned about the legality of obtaining drugs from Canada. Two legal websites– Legal Beagle and Elder Law Answers– indicate that it is in fact illegal to import drugs from Canada. The Food and Drug Administration, however, does not prosecute Americans who import a three-month supply of prescription drugs for personal use.

We really need to encourage our politicians to work for us in bringing down drug costs.

Note: The statistics mentioned are primarily from the International Federation of Health Plans 2015 Comparative Price Report, Consumer Reports, New England Journal of Medicine and the March 2016 and March 2017 issues of the Life Extension Journal.

Avastin– treat cancer $3,930

South Africa $956

OxyContin– treat pain

Spain $36

$265

Examples of drugs costing pennies, but sold to consumers for hundreds EpiPen– for allergic reaction– retail price for generic version– $300 for 2 Costs of components– epinephrine $5, auto injector $7 Tretinoin (generic)– for leukemia (and acne)– retail price for 1 month generic– $688. Costs of ingredients for month– 80 cents.

Plat8

Ottawa Hills Restaurant is Dining Hit

by Jeff Klima Chef Moussa Salloukh warned the investors in Plat8 that there would be no practice runs, the restaurant had to be top notch right out of the gate.

Those investors, including Paul and Mindy Vesoulis, David and Liz Feniger, Vince and Marta Toma, Marianne Ballas and the rest of the Ottawa Hills Investments group, were smart to A. recruit and B. listen to the sage chef who has created something special in the restaurant space that was once the Town and Country Lounge (amidst a long list of other watering holes). Salloukh, known as one of Toledo’s top culinary innovators, had embraced the challenge of taking an extremely complex space (including a kitchen so compact it makes your average garden shed seem palatial) and transforming it into one of Toledo’s most accessible and cool hangouts.

The long-time NW Ohio collective running Plat8 clearly care about providing farm-fresh fare at affordable prices, and have, in the restaurant, produced an excellent addition to the local food scene.

The ambiance Candles line the exterior of the restaurant, luring guests and their cocktails from the extensive bar to mingle.

It’s easy to see why this hallway has become an enclosed patio of sorts for the restaurant— even on a Monday night, Plat8 is packed to capacity and more are looking to get in. The restaurant has actually had to stop taking reservations and operate on a first-come basis to maximize access for hungry would-

be patrons. “It’s a good problem to have,” Paul says. Though it’s also a tough problem, he admits, because they don’t want to keep people waiting. It’s all about finding that balance.

David Feniger manages the daily operations of Plat8 as well as managing the group’s overall investment.

Part of that, was making sure the chef had freedom to operate. “Our goal was to provide Moussa with an environment that he could bring out his creative side,” David says. The group has put in long hours making sure the restaurant lives up to the hype that has surrounded it.

The name game A common mistake is thinking Plat8 might somehow translate to “Plate.” It doesn’t. The restaurant’s peculiar name comes instead from geographical lingo, “plat” meaning a plot of land. “Ottawa Hills was developed in plats,” Paul and Mindy explain, blending their words seamlessly to overlap and, adorably, fit together.

“Plat 1, Plat 2, Plat 3… Plat 8 was the plat that was never developed for Ottawa Hills. It’s the next plat.”

As for getting into the restaurant business? “It’s always been in the back of our minds. We’ve said, ‘We should do this one day, we should get involved with a restaurant,’” Mindy explained.

The Plat8 concept was already in the works, courtesy of David’s father, William Feniger, who had the initial inspiration. “When the idea was presented to us, it wasn’t really a question,” said Mindy. “We jumped at it,” said Paul, grinning.

The food “The short ribs and the scallops are the two most talked about entrées,” Mindy says of the menu options. “And our daughters are health conscious, so they’re all about the bowls,” Paul adds, mentioning their trio of lighter

Plat8 Lamb Shanks Directions: • Sear lamb shanks with salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary.

• Braise in oven with can of plum tomatoes, thyme and rosemary.

• Cook for 3 and a half hours at 350.

Serve lamb shank with rosemary roasted redskin potatoes. meals that put emphasis on combining fresh veggies and healthy grains with sweet potatoes, goat cheese or portobello and pesto. I am not health conscious, so of course I opt for the short rib plate. The hype is justified; these ribs become succulent bites with the slightest prompting from my fork.

There isn’t enough room to mention all the excellent menu items we sampled, but the roasted olives and fried green tomatoes deserve special appetizer shoutouts.

And if you’re somehow still hungry after the meal, your sweet tooth should make a date with the bread pudding.

The drinks Paul spearheads the wine and beverage initiative for the restaurant, which includes their own selection of Plat8-branded bottles of red wine and a healthy selection of bourbons.

The Bloody Mary is next level good, perfectly spiced and has a delicious charcuterie assortment as a topper. Of course, if you’re celebrating a very spe-

cial occasion, you can always indulge in Louis XIII cognac, which will set you back $150 a pour.

What’s in store If you’re more of an afternoon drinker or eater, fear not. The restaurant has May 3 penciled in as the date when they integrate lunch hours into the mix.

It doesn’t matter the occasion. This restaurant has a great lively energy, plenty of friendly faces, and it won’t break your bank (unless you want it to). If anyone’s going and needs a date for the evening, count me in.

4-10pm, Monday-Wednesday; 4-11pm, Thursday-Saturday. Lunch will be served starting at 11am, when it becomes available.
