Dear Listeners

espite the cold and snow that winter so often .brings to Northeast Ohio, WKSU is a hub of activity and energy. We finished a very successful fall fund drive, including our inaugural Pet Day; we offered complete coverage of the 2014 elections around Ohio and were recently honored with 13 Ohio Society of Professional Journalists Awards. Meet Kabir Bhatia, SPJ’s Best Reporter in Ohio, on page 5. Classical music programming has always been highly valued by our listeners. Enthusiasts can hear classical music broadcast every night, and at any time of day on WKSU HD 3, via our WKSU app and on our website. But we must bid a fond farewell to retiring Classical music host Sylvia Docking. Learn more about Sylvia on page 4. The Takeaway is an important anchor spot on our weekday schedule, airing at 9 am. This hour-long national news show, hosted by award-winning journalist John Hockenberry, offers discussion and analysis on the day’s most important news issues. It’s one of our most respected and popular shows. More about this fascinating show on page 6. Once considered a rust belt area, Northeast Ohio is enjoying a resurging business atmosphere and economy – from tech startups to customer service businesses. WKSU is proud to be a co-sponsor of many related business events, and to offer information about the new ventures and those who support them. Read more on page 7. The arts and cultural events in our region abound in every season. We hope you can take advantage of these, as well as the member discounts that WKSU has with many of these area organizations. See pages 8-20 for complete information. We value our WKSU listeners’ opinions and participation. And as always, we are grateful for your support. Sincerely,

Inside WKSU: Sylvia Docking

PHOTO COURTESY LYNN ISCHAY, THE PLAIN DEALER

o doubt you’ve benefitted from the magic of classical music through the eyes and ears of Sylvia Docking, WKSU’s classical music host. She’s been at WKSU since 1990 and, as she says, she knows the joy that classical music can bring. Sylvia loves all kinds of music and has found her WKSU job behind the microphone very satisfying: “Whether it’s a hymn or Haydn, you’re given the privilege of sharing with others music that will enrich the soul.” As a little girl Sylvia’s parents used their very limited income to get her piano lessons at a music store. She remembers it well, although she laughs that she is not even a “good” piano player, but a much better listener. Still, it was enough to start her passion for music. Her parents and even cartoons (think Peer Gynt Suite, William Tell Overture) aided her musical education. Post-college she worked briefly at the Veterans Administration hospital and then worked at WCRF, both in Cleveland and at their Chicago station. When her mother’s health issues needed more of her attention she returned to Cleveland, and applied for a WKSU job that her friend Ron Bartlebaugh told her about. And the rest is history, classical music history. And now Sylvia has decided it’s time to retire. Her drive back and forth to work is long, and combined with family health concerns “it’s taken its toll. It’s time for me to stop and smell the roses – time to touch, listen and understand. And to continue to hear music, a gift from God.” She’s off to a good start living in her grandmother’s house, on a street that was once full of

Sylvia Docking

backyard farms. Her grandmother raised chickens and grew her own vegetables and fruit. Some descendants of her grandmother’s friends still live there, along with Sylvia. Sylvia will continue to pass along the gift of music in her life, to friends and family and through her volunteer work. She says she leaves WKSU with a “heart of gratitude to those who have listened, recently or for the long haul, to wonderful co-workers, and wonderful students that have been a part of my life throughout these 24 years. A big thank you for enriching my life.” And we also say “A big thank you” to Sylvia for enriching all of us. WKSU and listeners will miss Sylvia very much but listeners will still be able to hear classical music broadcast on WKSU every night from 8 pm to 5 am and 24 hours a day on our HD3, streaming online and on our app.

Inside WKSU: Kudos

KSU finished 2014 with national awards from Public Radio News Directors, Inc. and the National Federation of Press Women, including a first-place award to M.L. Schultze for her news feature on young homeless people in Cleveland. WKSU staff members were awarded 13 Ohio Society of Professional Journalists Awards from the Ohio chapter. First-place honors went to Schultze and Tim Rudell for ongoing coverage of fracking in Ohio; Rudell for a 4 STATION BREAK WINTER/SPRING 2015

report on a new method to create natural rubber; Jeff St. Clair for his Exploradio series and Schultze for a spot news report on a Canton gas leak. A Best-of-Show Ohio SPJ M. L. Schultze Award was presented to Kabir Bhatia for Best Reporter in Ohio based on his “Body of Work.”

Inside WKSU: Kabir Bhatia

ne of the most recent award winners on the WKSU news team is reporter/producer Kabir Bhatia – honored by the Society of Professional Journalists in Ohio, as Best Reporter for his body of work in 2013. According to Kabir this work includes a variety of reports – religion, bad weather, arts, sports and politics. This Hudson native graduated from Kent State University. His first job was at Cleveland’s FOX TV8 as a morning news production assistant. He moved to Chicago and worked in many different radio roles, then came home to Northeast Ohio and has been at WKSU ever since. A highly valued member of the news team, his work on stories for 2015 has already begun. Possible topics include the Saturday Night Live connection to NE Ohio – many area natives have reached stardom on that show; a story looking back on how the media handled May 4th, and film selection for the internationally-known Cleveland

International Film Festival. Kabir says some stories are six months in the works; others are produced in a matter of hours. He can be heard almost every day on WKSU and as a weekend host most of Saturday and all day Sunday. He also is heard naKabir Bhatia tionwide on NPR an average of 2 times a month. According to Kabir, our “swing state” status is part of that: a lot happens here of national interest from politics to energy exploration, to rock and roll and sports. All his stories can be heard online, and you can find additional information there too. Kabir says he welcomes all assignments, loves his work and derives “a sense of satisfaction that I’m enriching and entertaining NE Ohio.”

The Takeaway with John Hockenberry

he Takeaway (heard on WKSU MondayFriday at 9 am) is an hour-long national news program that combines expert analysis with different perspectives called in by listeners across the country. It offers a wellrounded understanding of the day’s news. Host John Hockenberry moderates the conversations between newsmakers and diverse voices, with added resources from the program’s producing partners, WNYC Radio in New York, The New York Times and WGBH in Boston. The impressive John Hockenberry has broad experience as a reporter and commentator having worked in journalism for more than two decades, reporting from all over the world, and in practically every medium. Hockenberry is a three-time winner of the prestigious Peabody Award, sometimes referred to as the broadcast equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize. Among his other notable awards are an Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television Digital News Association, a Casey medal and four Emmys. His resume lists work on multiple NPR shows, ABC and Dateline NBC. Readers might remember his reports on the latter show such as an hour-long documentary on the often fatal results of being medically uninsured, an emotionally gripping portrait of a young schizophrenic trying to live on his own and extensive reporting in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. In 2009, Hockenberry was appointed to the White House Fellows Commission by President Barack Obama where he participates in the selection of Fellows for this most prestigious of Federal programs.

John Hockenberry

Hockenberry is also the author of A River Out Of Eden, a novel based in the Pacific Northwest, and Moving Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs and Declarations of Independence, a memoir of life as a foreign correspondent that was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1996.

In 2012, Hockenberry gave a Ted Talk – viewed more than 650,000 times – about his relationship with design and the importance of intent. While his journalism credits are extensive, he’s also a perfect host – informed and commanding but not overpowering. Energized by his own journalistic integrity, he exposes the untold with trenchant questions, yet manages to keep the conversation flowing in a relaxed manner. Born in Dayton, Ohio, Hockenberry grew up in upstate New York and Michigan, and attended both the University of Chicago and the University of Oregon. Hockenberry and his wife, Alison, live in New York City with their children, Zoe, Olivia, Zachary, Regan and Ajax: two sets of twins, and a solo latecomer.

Northeast Ohio – From Rust Belt to Business Incubator

century ago Northeast Ohio startups had names like Standard Oil, Hanna Manu.facturing, Goodyear and Goodrich; business leaders were Rockefeller, Hanna, Seiberling, Firestone, and Van Sweringen. New startups have arrived. Regular WKSU listeners have heard stories and underwriting messages about growing businesses in this region such as Kent Displays, Turning Technologies and OsteoSymbionics nurtured by organizations such as Team NEO, MAGNET, JumpStart, COSE, Youngstown Business Incubator, Akron Global Business Accelerator, NorTech and NEOtech. They are all part of a regional effort to change the former rust belt area into an innovation hub. And it’s working! The Plain Dealer business reporter Robert L. Smith wrote in an article on this new wave of innovation that Cleveland truly was America’s “startup hub.” And while today’s startups are far different than a century ago, there is resurgence in Northeast Ohio of dreams and ideas becoming realities. Smith wrote: “… private companies in Greater Cleveland attracted nearly $1 billion in investment capital over the last five years.” WKSU news has covered this business buzz. Cleveland reporter, Kevin Niedermeyer, in a September, 2014 WKSU story reported that “the most effective university-based business incubator in the world is in Northeast Ohio, according to the University Business Incubator Index headquartered in Stockholm. It ranks the Youngstown Business Incubator No. 1 based on many factors, including job creation and sales revenues of the startup companies it’s generated.” In addition to lifestyle and geographical advantages, another plus for NE Ohio is worldclass research universities and health care organizations such as Kent State, University of Akron, Case Western Reserve, Austen BioInnovation Institute and NEOMED. And after years of planning, the Global Center for Health Innovation is another key player in this arena. These groups are at the forefront of the merger between tech-

nological innovations and medical care. It’s a real collaborative effort that allows the region’s new business growth, especially in the high tech area. Foundations such as the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and other financial institutions play important roles. The Cleveland Foundation, with 100 years of funding that has improved many sectors in our region, is very involved. Shilpa Kedar, Program Director for Economic Development says “We are energized by the momentum that we have played a role in creating in Cleveland through our support of JumpStart, BioEnterprise, MAGNET and others in the technology innovation space.” Another recent development making us more competitive in this arena is the merging of Team NEO and NorTech to better attract and serve new businesses. Supporting the merger and other initiatives is the Fund for Our Economic Future (FEF) and an ad hoc group of leaders known as the Regional Competitiveness Council (RCC). According to David Abbott, of the RCC and Gund Foundation, their goals include to “ultimately outperform the nation” in job creation. Another main goal, says Deborah Hoover, Burton D. Morgan Foundation president and FEF chair, is “to ensure opportunities for ‘disconnected’ segments of the region to participate in and benefit from the resulting job growth.” As a WKSU representative who works with most of these companies and organizations, helping to get their messages out to our audience is both gratifying and exciting. It’s evidence of what many have believed for years – that Northeast Ohio can, once again, lead the nation in startups and job growth. These new businesses and their products are not household words yet, but the million dollar ideas are incubating. As memory of the rust belt period fades away, Northeast Ohio is becoming known for today’s innovative companies and organizations, building on our proud history of entrepreneurship. – Timothy Houk Smith 89.7 WKSU WKSU.ORG 7
