Oral History Program Frances Greigo Duncan Interviewed by Marci Farr 31 August 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Frances Greigo Duncan Interviewed by Marci Farr 31 August 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Frances discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Frances Greigo Duncan. She graduated from the St. Benedict's School of Nursing in 1960. We are interviewing her at her home in Clinton, Utah. It is August 31, 2010. Tell us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, where you went to school. FD: I grew up in Price, Utah and graduated from the high school there in Price. I graduated in 1957 and went right from high school graduation into nurse's training. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? Was there a particular reason? FD: Yes my grandfather had been injured in the mine there in Price and he was in and out of the hospital quite a bit. I remember seeing those nurses in there and they just looked like angels all dressed in white going around and helping my grandfather. They were just amazing. Then when I was a junior in high school they offered a nurse's aid class. Of course it was taught by one of the teachers there, one of the instructors that was a nurse and so we had training for about five or six months during the year. During that time we were able to go to the hospital and get actual hands-on orientation. It was just a wonderful experience. When we finished our junior year, during our senior year they hired us as nurse's 2 aids. So I worked in the Price Hospital all during my senior year. It was between my junior and the senior year that I decided I wanted to become a nurse. At that time there weren't very many scholarships. Our priest there in our Catholic church, Father LeBranch spoke with the nuns and told them my situation. I grew up with my grandfather who eventually passed away so my grandmother just raised me. So there wasn't any money to go to school. Father LeBranch was able to get a scholarship and that is how I was able to go to… MF: Go to St. Benedict's. FD: Yes. MF: Why did you choose St. Benedict's? FD: Well it was because that was the only place I could get a scholarship. If I could have gotten one somewhere else maybe I would have gone there but I didn't know of any other avenue other than that. I decided that is what to do. MF: Do you remember how much your tuition was? FD: Oh my goodness it seems like for the whole three years it was like two thousand and some dollars as I recall. MF: Well that was great you were able to get a scholarship. That always helps. Was this your first time away from home? FD: It was. MF: How did you feel when you first entered? FD: Very frightened because we lived in Price in a very small home where we didn't have any hot water running, we had an outhouse so going into this everything was totally different—a shower. It was very frightening and of course I didn't 3 know anyone. But before I went in there I was interviewed by Sister Berno, with the regular interview process so I did know her and she was very kind in getting me acclimated to the girls there and the nuns and everyone. MF: Who was your roommate? FD: Esther Satterfield. MF: Were you with her for all three years? FD: Yes I was. MF: Did you have a housemother? FD: Yes we did. As a matter of fact, I have a couple of pictures of her. Her name was Lena. She was a very nice person. She took very good care of us and made sure that we had whatever we needed, she was very kind. MF: What was your dorm room like when you first got there? FD: We had two floors. The seniors got to be down in the first floor and we were up in the second floor. I believe it was the freshman and juniors up there and then some of them went downstairs and the seniors were the lucky ones that got the first floor. But one of those days we moved down there. MF: How were the Sisters? Were they strict? What type of rules did you have to follow? FD: We had a lot of rules. They were strict but they were kind. They made sure that we were aware of the rules, we knew what they were and we had to follow them. Sometimes we didn't. MF: Did you have a probationary period? FD: Yes I believe it was six months as I recall. 4 MF: What did you have to do during that time? FD: We had classes during that time and we had tests that we had to pass for our classes like anatomy and physiology and that and keep up our grades. Of course, we had to be socially following the rules. We had hours that we had to be in bed as I recall the first year it was by ten o'clock. As we got to be seniors it was twelve. Every time we left the house we had to sign out where we were going and what time and when we came back we had to sign in. They made sure that we were safe and where we were going and made sure that we got back. Then they would do room check every night to make sure that we were in there and that we were behaving, the lights were out, no noise. SL: Was there sneaking out? FD: Oh yes! There was. Between the hospital and the nurses dorm there was a tunnel and the nuns would go to mass real early like at five thirty in the morning so sometimes we were out not that late of course but they were working and going back and forth in a tunnel and sometimes we'd have to sneak in through the tunnel. MF: So you wouldn't get caught. FD: Right. MF: If you had a night off what was something you would do for fun with your classmates? FD: That first year there weren't many nights off because we were studying and trying to do what we were supposed to so we would be able to stay in. I didn't have a car and had very little money so I didn't go out too much. We just stayed in the 5 house and watched TV. As we got older we had certain requirements that we had to fill as far as where we were working in the hospital and sometimes when we had a weekend off we could work. That was not until our junior and senior year and then we'd get paid for that. We did have a little bit of money that way and were able to—sometimes we'd go to a movie, just routine things. MF: At this time were you allowed to get married while you were in training? FD: Absolutely not, no. MF: Would they kick you out? What was the policy? FD: Yes. That was absolutely not tolerated. I don't know of anyone in the class that that happened to. MF: When you were done with your probationary period what was some of your first assigned duties? FD: As I recall, we were able to stay up on the weekends just a little bit later. During our probation they wanted to make sure that we were studying so we would be able to stay there. We were able to stay up a little bit longer. MF: Did you start learning how to do blood pressures and things like that after your classes? FD: Eventually. The first six months it was mostly classes as I recall. MF: So it was just after your capping? FD: Yes. Right. MF: Where did your capping ceremony take place? FD: It was there in the hospital. As I recall it was where we ate. MF: Tell us about a typical day when you started after your probationary period. 6 FD: Well we would have to get up right around six. If you were Catholic you had to go to Mass. Then we would have breakfast we would have classes starting around eight. An hour of chemistry, an hour of nursing fundamentals, and that was what we did. Did you say after probation? MF: Yes so after when you first started doing your rotations. FD: After capping there would be a lab where we would go to learn the routine, how to give a bed bath and how to take blood pressures. It seems to me as we got maybe into our second year was when we got to practice on oranges giving injections—eventually how to draw blood and we drew blood on each other. We didn't wear gloves which now we are thinking, "Oh my gosh!" MF: So how long were you assigned to each floor? Did you have a certain amount of time you had to spend on each floor? FD: We did rotations and as I recall the medical nursing and surgical nursing floors were the ones we were on the most but we did have rotations to OB/GYN floors, the nursery. We did our psychiatric training in Hastings, Nebraska for three months. MF: Was that when you were a senior? FD: Yes. Then we did three months of training at Children's Hospital in Denver. That is how we got our pediatric training. Then we did not quite three months at the TB Sanitorium. There was a TB Sanitorium here in Ogden. MF: Which floor did you prefer? Which rotation did you like the most? FD: I think I like the nursery the best. It was just nice seeing those little babies and just the miracle of birth. It was so amazing to see those babies come out and 7 here they are a human being. I loved it. I especially liked the big ones, you know, the nine pound ones. MF: They look like they are three months old. What do you think was probably your most difficult challenge in nurse's training? FD: I felt like I was prepared for anything that came in my nursing career there at the hospital. I don't remember any great difficulty because we were trained so well before we were ever let on to the floor I felt secure enough to do whatever was required of me. I think maybe one of the challenges that I had was working on the floor and being in charge of the aides and trying to do all of the charting that you had to do. We did it all by hand. For instance, in the evening the night shift we'd be the only one that would be in charge. There would be a nursing supervisor that would be over the whole hospital if we ever needed anything. I just felt pretty secure. I don't remember other than making sure the aides did what they were supposed to because we were responsible for that. The charting—oh my goodness that just took forever and giving report—you had to have everything just ready to go. We did it all verbally. MF: That would be a challenge. Do you remember any traditions associated with St. Benedict's at Christmas or holiday time? FD: We always had picnics for all the nurses. We would get together and have Christmas parties—the traditional things that you would do. I didn't have much money so I didn't go home for Thanksgiving even though I lived in Price. I remember one of the nurses took me into her home for Thanksgiving. I was able to go home for Christmas. 8 MF: Where was graduation held? You graduated in 1960. What month did you graduate? FD: It was in August. We graduated at St. Joseph's church. That is where the ceremony was held and it was just beautiful. I remember going across when it was your graduation, you had your cap and your gown, fully dressed and you received your diploma that you had finished all three years adequately, everything was as they required. Your family was there, my grandmother and my brother, they were there. Everyone else had their family and friends there. It is something you just don't forget. MF: What did you do after graduation? Did you stay at St. Benedict's? FD: I stayed at St. Benedict's for awhile. I went to—at that time it was the Dee Hospital and I worked there for fifteen years after I graduated. I knew what St. Benedict's was like and I worked there after and I wanted to know what else was there. MF: When did you retire? FD: 2001. MF: Did you stay with Mckay Dee? FD: No. I left there after fifteen years and in the mean time I had three children. During my fourth pregnancy I decided that I was going to stop working and stay home and take care of the children. I was there at home for three years and then I was offered a job with the state. They were opening up a clinic for individuals who did not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. It was kind of the individuals who didn't have the money to go to a clinic or doctor or hospital to get care. We 9 would interview them and if they qualified then we would send them to get whatever they needed treated. MF: How do you think your training at St. Benedict's helped you in your career? FD: When I worked at McKay Dee, I worked in every department. I started out working in the operating room but I decided I didn't like that. At that time the doctors were Gods. If you didn't do something right you would be berated. I remember one time I handed him the wrong instrument or something and he just threw it back at me and he contaminated the whole table. So I had to quickly get the nurses in to get me a new table to set up and I thought, "Nope, that is not for me." Then I worked in orthopedics and pediatrics and psychiatry. I wanted to stay home and take care of my children and only worked a couple of days. After a while it got that I couldn't work on the floor because I was only working two days and I needed full time. I worked as a PRN, just working wherever they needed someone so that is where I got the experience of working everywhere in the hospital. Then when we made the transition to the McKay Dee Hospital I worked there for awhile. When I got the state office I went there and was there for another twenty years. Then I left there and went and worked at the Department of Health in Salt Lake with Quality Assurance. Even though at the time that I graduated I don't even remember a whole lot of quality assurance because of the training that I had you knew that whatever it was you would be able to do it. You just felt secure. MF: How do you think nursing has changed over the years? 10 FD: Oh my goodness. I wouldn't even dare go back to work now. When we were working in the emergency room we could start the regular IVs and draw blood but at the time when you were able to insert a catheter and leave it for an IV we could not do that. We didn't have all these machines that you could calculate how much IV to get and what time and the number of hours. We just hung up a bottle and say it was 1000 cc's and it was supposed to go in in eight hours we would have to calculate it, put tape on the bottle and mark each hour where it was supposed to be. That was our method. MF: Did you have to reuse the bottles and the tubing? FD: No. But I just look at what they have instruments now and I think, "Oh my gosh." MF: There is no comparison. FD: Oh no. It is frightening. I worked in a clinic as a clinic manager when I was working with Medicaid and Medicare I really didn't have hands on nursing, I was more administration but I was aware of what was going on in the medical field and then when we did medical—when I was there in the Department of Health it wasn't hands on, it wasn't hands on nursing like you have in the hospital. It was more administration and quality assurance. Then I was away from the hospital so to go back into a hospital situation and see all that. Although, when I was working with Medicaid and Medicare, they hired nurses to go wherever they needed a nurse in the valley—so I went to Primary Children's and University and nursing homes and all over. MF: Did you have anything that you wanted to ask her? SL: Do you remember anything about your instructors? 11 FD: Most of them were nuns. We did have some doctors that were instructors. For medical ethics we sometimes had the nuns but then a priest would come in and talk about the medical ethics part of it. But they were all very strict but they were very kind at the same time. SL: What do you remember about the sisters? FD: They were kind but like I said they were strict. When I graduated from Price we did have nuns there at the church where we went but they were not nurses. I remember the habits that they wore, big long dresses and the big hats. I remember one time we were being funny but we snuck downstairs where we knew the nuns kept their clothes when they had them laundered. We snuck down there and got their outfits and we got dressed up in them. We were seniors then, I believe. It must have been like a weekday or something. We went upstairs to the freshman and we disguised our voices like we were the nuns and we said, "Are you sleeping or are you awake?" And we would open the door and they could see the outfit and boy they were just quiet as could be. I don't know where it is but I think somewhere I have a picture of one of us dressed up like a nun. SL: Did you have any nuns that were going through school? FD: Yes we had one that was. She didn't stay there in the dorm with us. She was with the other nuns. But the nuns were very kind but again, like I said, they were very strict. You had to toe the line because they were very strict in the hospital with everything that you did. They wanted to teach us everything had to be just perfect. I remember one time we were assigned patients. You would go in there 12 and take care of them all day. At that time we gave them bed baths from top to bottom and cleaned their rooms, we had to make sure their tables were cleaned off and everything was just right. Then the nuns would come in and check everything. We would be there saying, "Oh my gosh." I remember the nun was in there checking my room and I was in one of the other rooms. She comes in and she says, "Miss Greigo? May I see you please?" "Yes Sister." So then I went there and she says, "Do you see anything wrong with this room Miss Greigo?" "No, Sister I don't." "Would you mind looking at that waste basket? Has it been emptied?" "No." "Well, Miss Greigo that is part of your duty." That is how strict they were to empty a garbage can. I didn't think we had to do that but we did. From then on I made sure the garbage cans were emptied. SL: Were you able to go up to the canyon with them? Were they involved in outside of the hospital activities? FD: Yes they were. Yes we did go to different places. I remember we went up to the canyon. I remember we went on a picnic with them someplace. I can't even remember where it was. I remember one of the priests would come down and say, "Who wants to go skiing?" There was Father Kearns, he loved to ski so some of the gals that skied would get a chance to go up skiing. We would do different things—go to the movies or walk around town, we walked down 25th street which we weren't supposed to because that was such a bad place but we wanted to see what it was like. Of course we didn't tell them that was where we had been. SL: Did you have any LDS or non-Catholic girls in your class? 13 FD: Yes we did. SL: Did you ever talk about how they were feeling, not being Catholic and being in a Catholic run institution? FD: I don't know that we discussed it a lot. I do remember that some of our practices they didn't agree with. They were okay with it, they just weren't a part of it, which was okay. There was never anything as I recall negative about it. They just knew that was a Catholic hospital and were told when they got there that this is a Catholic institution and we have practices that we have. Medical ethics—there is different things there that we practice that they didn't. There was never anything at that time that was derogatory in any way that I can remember. SL: Did you have a favorite patient that you remember or a hard one that stuck with you over the years? FD: I remember an incident where we had learned how to give injections to an orange, then we gave them to ourselves. It was our first time to do it on a patient and the instructor is there with you. I was so nervous. We were all nervous when we had to do that first injection. I did everything right. We had alcohol swabs—cotton balls that you put in alcohol and I remember it was an injection in the buttocks, I cleaned it off, I drew up the medication because it came in bottles and we had to draw it up and make sure it was the right amount, check the patients name with his wrist band and everything was going right. I took a deep breath, got up the skin and gave the injection, pulled the syringe back, no blood, wonderful. I gave the injection, pulled the syringe out, and the needle stayed in there. I just nearly died. My instinct was right—I just pulled it out with my fingers 14 by the hub. The instructor didn't say anything. Apparently this has probably happened to her before and she didn't say anything. That is one thing that I just remember. I never forgot that. That was so frightening. MF: What they don't know won't hurt them, right? FD: Yes. MF: Well we appreciate you letting us visit with you and share your memories with us.

Erik Buell Racing has released pricing details on its EBR 1125R DSB, EBR 1125RR, and EBR 1190RR race motorcycles. In addition to these models, Erik Buell Racing also has a few track bikes that are available for sale. Prices after the jump.
Ducati Motor Holding is reporting another record sales year, and that the Italian motorcycle manufacturer sold 45,100 bikes in 2014. This marks the fifth year in a row that Ducati has shown sales growth, and it's the third year in a row that the sales figures have been an all-time record for the Italian brand. Sales for 2014 were up 2% over 2013, with the USA again leading as Ducati's most important market (8,804 units sold in the USA). Unsurprisingly, the Asian market is growing quickly for Ducati as well, up 11% in 2014. Ducati attributes its sales growth in-part to its new water cooler Monster line, where the Ducati Monster 1200 and Ducati Monster 821 helped raise Monster sales by 31%, with 16,409 new bikes sold in 2014.
In the past decade the ADV segment has been a confusing amalgamation of differing interests, and over that time-period, two distinct groups have boiled to the surface. First there are the "Long Way Round" hopefuls, who invariably own a BMW R1200GS/A, and seem to be on some sort of perpetual preparation for an African safari. More recently, a second group has appeared: those riders who look to these big ADV bikes as more versatile Sport-Touring machines. All these riders, and their bikes, have been wedged into a single "Adventure" category, and it has created a bit of confusion for the segment. So, I want to introduce the concept of the "Adventure-Sport" and how it differentiates from the previous "Adventure-Touring" category.
As had been widely expected, Ducati will not have the GP15 ready for the first test at Sepang, in early February. In an interview with the MotoGP.com website, due to be shown on 19th January, Ducati Corse boss confirmed that work was still underway on the all-new bike; and that instead, Ducati will be bringing an uprated version of last year's bike, dubbed the GP14.3, to test aspects of the new design not requiring the new engine. The delays have been trailed by both Dall'Igna and Paolo Ciabatti, speaking to the media at the Valencia test and at the Superprestigio dirt track event in December. The GP15 is a completely new bike, designed from the ground up, with a completely redesigned engine.
We've talked a bit before about the virtues of 3D printing, and how this increasingly affordable technology could change the consumer landscape as far as how we buy basic parts in the motorcycle industry. For as practical as how 3D printing, or rapid prototyping, can be, it can also be beautiful and used for art. This story is sort of a merger of those two ideas. Jonathan Brand has hoped to buy a 1972 Honda CB500 motorcycle, but the birth of his son changed that plan. Where there is a will though, there is a way, and Brand came up with the next best thing — he built a life-size model of a CB500 with his 3D printer.
Italians are rejoicing over the news that Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche has made it clear that the German car manufacturer is not interested in acquiring more of MV Agusta's private stock. Loyal readers will remember that Mercedes-AMG purchased 25% of MV Agusta last October, for a rumored €30 million — echoing the move Audi made in Ducati. Talking at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit though, Zetsche said "however, to avoid what happened with Ducati we point out that we have no intention to take over the business or produce motorcycles. MV Agusta can do it better than us."
Good news for Triumph Motorcycles fans, as the British motorcycle marque is reporting a banner year for 2014 — with 54,432 units sold worldwide. That figure is up 4% over 2013's sales figure of 52,089 units, which was the first time that Triumph broke the 50,000 unit mark since the company's rebirth in 1984. Helping Triumph reach this new high-water mark was the company's home market, where Triumph accounted for one-in-five motorcycles sold in the UK (over 500cc). Overall, Triumph saw 8% growth in the UK, as modest growth considering the British market was up roughly 10% last year. The news is not all good, however. Triumph previously reported that financial figures for the first-half of 2014 were down, with revenue down £364 million from £369 million, and net income at a loss of £8 million.
One of the more intriguing things to come out of the 2014 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan were Husqvarna's two "401" concepts, the Vitpilen and Svartpilen. The café-styled bikes are based off the KTM 390 Duke platform, though you wouldn't know it from looking at them. Husqvarna said at EICMA that if there was sufficient interest, the Vitpilen and Svartpilen could go into production. With an overwhelming critical response from the press and fans, it should come no surprise then that our friends at Bike.se are reporting that Husqvarna intends to make the small-displacement machines a part of its 2017 model lineup.
Imagine if you will that the first Ducati, the Ducati Cucciolo, and the most modern Ducati, the Ducati Desmosedici, had a child — what would it look like? That far-fetched question nagged Mexican designer Alex Garoli, so he decided to build a concept of the machine. At the core of the Ducati Desmosedici Cucciolo is the V4 powerplant of Italy's MotoGP race bike, and around it Garoli has imagined a modern steel trellis frame that mimics the bicycle frame look of the post-WWII motorized bicycles that pulled Italy out of deep recession. Of course the most interesting thing about Garoli's concept is the fact that it's a ~12:1 scale model. The work is pretty exquisite, even if you don't agree with the concept's ethos.
Signs of life are starting to trickle out of Hamamatsu, as Suzuki finally seems to be working on new models for our riding pleasure. First, it was the news that the turbocharged Suzuki Recursion concept is likely to go into production, and now it's that the Japanese OEM is reviving iconic names from its past: Katana and Gamma. Suzuki has re-registered the Katana name & logo with both the European and American trademark offices, while the Gamma logo has been re-registered in the EU. What this means precisely in terms of future models is up for debate. As for the name Katana, the evidence might already be in front of us with the Recursion concept. The Suzuki Katana line started life as a performance-oriented machine, and slowly saw its name watered down into the sport-touring segment.
Good turns for MV Agusta, as the Italian motorcycle manufacturer has secured a €15 million loan from SACE and Banca Popolare di Milano (BPM). The loan, which was issued by BPM and guaranteed by SACE, will go towards MV Agusta's foreign growth plans, namely the company's strengthening of its US business, and its push into Brazil and Southeast Asia. The more business-speak version of that statement is that MV Agusta will use the €15 million to implement the company's 2014-2018 business plan, which has the company expanding its product range and penetrating into "high-potential" markets.

Brodsky called to witness stand in former client Drew Peterson's case
BY JON SEIDEL, DAN ROZEK AND JANET LUNDQUIST Staff Reporters February 19, 2013 10:16AM

Joel Brodsky and Steve Greenberg fought side-by-side all summer to keep Drew Peterson out of prison.
Five months later, Peterson has been convicted of his third wife's murder and the defense lawyers have bitterly split, with Greenberg blaming Brodsky for their loss and Brodsky retaliating with a defamation lawsuit.
And now the former co-counsels have finally faced off in a Joliet courtroom as Greenberg called Brodsky to the witness stand Tuesday while fighting to get Peterson a new trial. Brodsky resisted at first but finally relented and answered questions from Greenberg about payments made from a trust fund he set up for Peterson's defense.
Greenberg never asked Brodsky about the fateful decision to call divorce attorney Harry Smith to testify at Peterson's trial, though, and Brodsky later scoffed at Greenberg's attempt to save Peterson from a prison term as high as 60 years.
The fight is expected to continue at the Will County courthouse Wednesday, and State's Attorney James Glasgow predicted Peterson's sentencing could begin by the end of the day.
"This is Drew's last chance before going to prison for probably the rest of his life?" Brodsky said outside the courthouse. "It's not very impressive, I'll tell you that."
Peterson watched the hearing passively from the defense table in his blue jail jumpsuit. The showdown he witnessed wasn't quite as dramatic as expected, but it was one the likes of which Glasgow said he hasn't seen in 30 years. Still, Greenberg insisted Tuesday's proceedings weren't about him and Brodsky.
"This is between Drew Peterson and the people of the state of Illinois," Greenberg said.
A Will County jury convicted Peterson in September for the 2004 drowning of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Authorities ruled her death a slip-and-fall accident until Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared in 2007. Savio's body was exhumed a short time later, reexamined and her death ruled a homicide. Peterson still insists he had nothing to do with it.
Nevertheless, Judge Edward Burmila could sentence Peterson this week to spend what could amount to the rest of his life in prison. The only thing standing in the way is Peterson's request for a new trial, contending Brodsky botched the case by calling Smith to testify. If Burmila shoots down the argument, he could begin Peterson's sentencing hearing immediately.
Smith offered the bombshell testimony at trial that Stacy Peterson told him her husband killed Savio. Several jurors said after their guilty verdict that Smith's testimony secured the conviction.
Greenberg said outside the courthouse Tuesday the decision to put Smith on the stand was a "rogue act." And Burmila heard testimony from a trial watcher who said she overheard Greenberg and Brodsky arguing about whether to call him as a witness. Jennifer Spohn said Greenberg told Brodsky, "I filed 74 f'ing motions to keep Smith from testifying, and now you're going to undo it all."
Still, Greenberg publicly defended the decision at the time, and Brodsky told reporters Tuesday he didn't make the call on his own.
"All the other lawyers agreed plainly to Harry Smith to be called," Brodsky said.
Though Smith's testimony is at the center of Peterson's argument for a new trial, the topic didn't come up when Greenberg put Brodsky on the stand. Brodsky at first resisted, telling courthouse staff he wouldn't testify voluntarily and that he was subpoenaed by prosecutors — not Peterson's lawyers. He relented when Burmila told him "a subpoenaed witness is a subpoenaed witness."
As he testified, Brodsky shuffled through several pages of spreadsheets detailing transactions involving a trust fund he set up on behalf of Peterson.
He confirmed the transactions included $10,000 paid by ABC television for video and picture licensing fees, $5,901.18 from a book publisher and $15,000 — after Peterson was jailed — from a TV production company.
A web page briefly established to solicit donations for Peterson's defense also raised 11 cents — after expenses, Brodsky said.
All the cash raised on behalf of Peterson ended up in the bank, Brodsky said.
"Every penny went into the trust account," Brodsky said.
He acknowledged that some expenses were paid out of the fund, including $885 for a publicist and more than $4,200 for legal fees.
After Greenberg conferred with Peterson, he asked a final question: Did Brodsky have any written authorization for March 2008 payment for his legal fees?
"I'm not sure," Brodsky replied. "Maybe, maybe not."
Before calling Brodsky to the stand, Greenberg called on Brodsky's former law partner, Reem Odeh. Odeh and Brodsky also parted ways on less-than-friendly terms in 2010. She said Brodsky made a threatening comment to her before court Tuesday, and she said he once physically attacked her when she tried to leave their firm with a copy of the publicist's agreement. Brodsky denied both claims and said she came after him.
Finally, Greenberg called Clifford Scott-Rudnick, a professor who teaches professional responsibility at The John Marshall Law School. He told the courtroom Brodsky violated ethical standards by signing a deal with the publicist and essentially becoming Peterson's business partner.
"It seems this is over the line," Scott-Rudnick said.
Brodsky — the man who stood by Peterson ever since the former cop's pretty young fourth wife disappeared in 2007 never to be heard from again — said it all amounted to a "real weak, weak" argument. When it was over, he said he was disappointed. He said he put five years of work into the case, and he has mixed emotions.
But when asked whether he'd ever represent Drew Peterson in a courtroom again, he chuckled.
"I'd have to think long and hard," Brodsky said.

DISH's biggest hole at the moment is 24/7 regional sports. Even though I don't watch mine not having them has become an issue. It was OK a couple of years ago when the channels themselves lacked 24/7 HD content but it is time to catch up.I totally agree,with DirecTV adding more basic HD channels it's time for DISH to make their basic channel HD offerings better with even more HD channels.
I'd also like to see some of the specialty channels like NASA go HD ... but I realize with limited bandwidth the decision on what to fill that space with will likely come down to contracts (where a renewing network refuses carriage without a HD channel) or how much money DISH can make off of the addition.

Did I make a mistake? A transgender woman's journey of transition
Did I make a mistake? Am I doing the right thing? Is this the path for me? These are questions we usually ask and, if not, should be asking ourselves. Gender transition is not for the faint of heart. Early in my transition from male to female, I gave little thought to those questions. I was very busy buying new clothes, coming out to family and friends, and getting ready to return to work after a lengthy absence.
I was working on name changes, birth records. I was preoccupied early in my transition. There was a lot of ground to cover if I was to come out and be my true self. Endless doctors' appointments. Sometimes I felt as though I should have had a tube from my arm connected directly to the blood lab. I had more blood drawn from me in my first year of transition than I had in my entire life, and I was under the microscope of psychiatrists, every move scrutinized. Should I sit in the blue chair in the doctor's office? Should I sit in the pink chair? I felt like I was under constant surveillance, and worried my male side would pop out. It didn't. I did a very good job at covering the male side of who I was. After a few years of this—the real life test—I received a letter saying that I was eligible for and had met all the criteria to move forward and have gender reassignment surgery. To say I was happy would have been a gross understatement. There it was in my hot little hands, the brass ring! The letter I had been working toward for the last four years.
For a brief moment, I hesitated to pick up the phone to book my surgery date. I read and re-read the letter countless times. Then it went into my file, and I didn't look at it again for at least three months. Those three or so months were when the questioning began. I tried approaching people in my support system. Each of their answers was almost scripted: "Well, if you have any doubts then you're not really trans!" I thought to myself that "You're not really trans" was an odd thing to say. My question was still not being addressed. I had a new brass ring to reach for. "Is there anyone who has any doubts or second thoughts?"
One would think this would be a very easy question to have answered. It was my experience that it was the hardest question that I ever asked to find an answer for. It would appear that by the time I reached that stage in my transition, the medical community felt I was ready to move onto the next stage—surgery. I was supposed to be ready to take the final plunge into the mystery of becoming a woman. Hard as I looked for one person to say, "Yes, I had doubts; yes, I was terrified; and yes, I questioned if I made a mistake," I never found them. That one person never appeared.
I knew they were out there. They didn't speak. Now I had a new question. Why weren't they coming forth with their experience? Shortly after I pulled the letter from my file again, I made the call to the surgeon and booked my flight. I was very excited to be on my way to have this correction taken care of, but that one question still haunted me. What haunted me even more was where were the ones that had gone before me, that were supposed to help guide me through this rocky period. It wasn't long after I had returned home from the surgery that I found the answers I was looking for. I found where most brothers and sisters had gone; I found the answers to those nagging questions. The real work began upon my return home. The rigid schedule of dilating, the inability to get to the bathroom without assistance, the blood, the pain. I'll never forget the pain. My hips and halfway up my stomach were yellow and black from the bruising. The simplest act of trying to watch television became agony. The deed had been done; there really was no turning back. I couldn't go home now .
I was now in this surgically created wonderland that I called my female body, laying awake at night still asking, "Did I make the right choice?" Right choice or not, this was where I was! Life carried on seemingly uneventfully, get-well cards came, flowers arrived, people phoned. It was almost like I had celebrity status, but that was short-lived. Then again I was alone with my thoughts. That one nagging question rang through my head. Did I make a mistake? I felt a bit depressed so I made a couple of phone calls trying to find a counsellor to speak with. Oddly no-one would accept me. I called my old shrink and he said, "Our work was finished. I was only there to help you until you had surgery. You'll need to find another doctor." The hunt began for another psychiatrist. I thought it would be easy, but it was not. Depression by this time had taken deep root; eventually I was diagnosed with chronic depression. What followed was not at all what I had expected. I stopped going outside, I quit playing softball, I closed my kickboxing gym. I became a recluse, subjugated in my own home by no one other than myself. My depression deepened. My rigid schedule of postsurgical care went out the window. Then another nail struck into my coffin of depression! My surgical area had grown shut!
I had less than two inches of depth. I was horrified. What had become of that soulful, full-of-life woman that I had known at the beginning of my transition? Where did she go? How could I get her back? The question of whether or not I had made a mistake was secondary at this stage; my priority now was to find the real Carolynn again. This was a daunting task to say the least. I was lucky enough to have been referred to a doctor by a dear friend of mine. He saw me, and I would love to say that we got off to a great start. We didn't. He called me obese and said I needed to exercise. I didn't see him again for at least a year. When I finally did return to see him, I was a complete train wreck. I had put on 40 to 50 pounds, and I was depressed. I still had the problem of the surgical area having grown closed. After some time with this doctor, things started to look a little better. Over the next few years things began to change. I felt my old self returning, I re-opened my kickboxing school, and started to socialize again. Then my doctor threw this at me one day in a session. He said, "Carolynn, you know you can go for a surgery revision and get that fixed." My jaw hit the floor. I was in shock. I thought it was a one-time shot, and if, like me, you screwed it up—well, you were screwed forever after.
I felt this little fire of hope begin to burn in me again. I had purpose in my life again. This time, I wasn't going to screw it up! I jumped through all the hoops, made all the phone calls, and reattached the tube from my arm to the blood lab. Honestly, I felt happiness shine again in my life. Finally, the day came for me to head off and have my surgery revision. I remember arriving at the recovery house and seeing another group of me's from six or seven years ago. They were all driven. They were all happy and they all had no clue what was going to happen after.
Not from a place of ego, but rather a place of a caring sister, I took it upon myself to inform the other guests that this was not my first time. I had to go around and return their jaws to the closed position. I became very close with two of the girls there. One very young woman was maybe 17 and there with her mother, and another was my own age and all the way from the U.K. They listened intently as I told them my story and the pitfalls to be aware of. My young friend even went so far as to take notes. Our surgery days came and went. We all returned to the places we respectfully called home. A few days later, I got a phone call from my friend in the U.K. She was in tears and panicking, saying, "I don't know what I have done." We talked for what seemed like hours until she said she was feeling better. It's been some time since I have heard from her. As for my young teenage friend, I got a call from her mother on several different occasions telling me what her daughter was not doing, and how she was feeling depressed. Considering myself somewhat of a hip person, I started to text my young friend. We worked out some things via texting and email. My life continued fairly normally. I was again into my routine of dilating and postsurgical care. Only this time I had a new-found appreciation for what I had been given, and the question had finally been answered.
Did I make a mistake? The answer is No! I did not make a mistake. Do I have regrets? Yes, of course, I have regrets. I do not feel I would be classified as human if I didn't. Do I miss my old self? Sometimes. The question of whether or not I made a mistake at this stage is irrelevant. The more pressing and more important question is, am I able to be happy living as I am? At time of writing, I have an afternoon appointment coming up with a personal trainer at the gym. Later this evening, I'm going out for dinner with some friends and there is this very handsome man I met who asked me on a date.
The answer is, yes, I am happy and can live this way. The question I had chased and tried to have answered was the wrong question. After a few years of wrestling with it, the question "Did I make a mistake?" became irrelevant. The question I should have been asking myself all along is, "Can I be happy after I have made these final choices?" People have surgery everyday. Most don't ask themselves, "Did I make a mistake?" If my own personal experience is of any use to anyone, then ask yourself the right questions first. Don't ask "Did I make a mistake?" or "Am I doing the right thing?" Ask yourself, "Can I live happily once these decisions have been made?" That question is far easier to answer than the others.
This is why I generally do not bother talking with most transgenders (which might have been why I wasn't there to answer).
There is the all too common attitude that having enough surgery to look like a Barbie Doll will cure all their problems in life. Most "transgender" discussions are more around what parts to chop off, rather than, "hey, women have stuff to deal with that most men do not", and stuff that generally seems at home in feminism groups. If you are switching your gender station (in your case, lowering your station) there is stupid social situations to deal with.
Yet in the group it is all, "bigger boobs will solve all my problems", "remove my man jaw" (never mind a lot of cisgender women live fine with so called man jaws) and a bunch of other bullshit that got you into your current place.
It really doesn't help that me and Summer really never seem able to see eye to eye on anything. So I go off and do what I usually do: get most of my help from cisgendered women I know.
Which is why I get people thinking I am not really transgender, I just say I am for attention... or that I am post op, or a bunch of other statements about my general level of passing.
On a related note: I am trying to think of a valid reason to get the surgery. Something that is not hateful to women (a woman is only her vagina, nothing else), something that doesn't seem frivolous(because I totally can) and something that doesn't seem spiteful (will I still have people liking me without my trap parts?).
Also, thank you for helping others, in so many ways. You are an exceptional person, and an excellent role model.
Thanks you again, and be blessed. :-)
I had surgery over two years ago when I was 50-years old. I simply could not get on that operating table fast enough! I had very little pain after surgery and have had no problems. My surgery day will always be the GREATEST day of my life and I cherish every second of the time I spent in Montreal! Today everything functions perfectly and I am a normal, legal woman -- and I couldn't be happier!!!
My point is that while there ARE a few people who may have "jumped the gun" and had surgery before they were ready to do so, the vast majority of people who have surgery are very happy and have NO regrets at all. I know MANY people who have had surgery and have never met a single person who regretted they did. I can honestly tell you that GRS saved my life!
I expect I'll still want vaginoplasty, but I can handle exercising a little patience. ;-)

The Walking Dead Unofficial FAQ (last updated November 15, 2014)
All information in this FAQ is compiled by community moderators Jennifer and Vainamoinen. We check our facts thoroughly and have a lot of Telltale experience on our backs, but this is not an 'official' source, we're just volunteers!
Season Three FAQ
(1) What is The Walking Dead: Season Three?
The Walking Dead: Season Three was announced at Comic Con 2014, shortly before the release of the final episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two. Like its predecessor, it will be a full fledged sequel that won't require the other seasons to play that will an episodic game based on moral choices that is set in the universe of Robert Kirkman's comic book series, The Walking Dead. Nothing has been said about its story yet, but it will most likely take place after the events of The Walking Dead: Season Two.
(2) Will Robert Kirkman be involved with the game?
Almost certainly. He was involved in making sure the characters and story stayed true to The Walking Dead universe for Season One and Season Two, so it's very likely he'll be back in a similar role for Season Three.
(3) When will season three be released?
There have been no release dates announced for the third season. Season Two was released over a year after it was announced, so Season Three will likely be released at a similar timeframe.
(4) For which platforms will season three be available?
No platforms have been announced yet, but a Windows release is almost certain, as all of Telltale's games have been released for this platform.
(5) Why is it taking so long to release season three?
Even though Telltale is still using their in-house engine, it still takes a long time to create a game. They have to spend time creating the overarching storyline and the game design documents (how each game play situation will be handled) for the season. Plus, they still have to create new art assets. The new locations need to be designed, if there are any new characters, they also have to be designed. Even the returning characters have to have new animations made (and of course, new characters need animations as well). Additionally, the music has to be scored, any new sound effects have to be recorded, and the voice actors have to record their lines (additionally, if there are any new characters, new actors have to be cast in these roles). Plus, the game scripts that power the game and direct each situation in each episode has to be programmed. Additionally, the Telltale Tool (Telltale's in-house engine) is also traditionally incrementally improved with each release, so source code has to be created for the new changes. On top of that, the existing art assets have to be tweaked if there are any visual changes that come with the new engine code.
(6) Will the decisions I made in season one, 400 Days, and season two carry over to season three?
This hasn't been announced, but it will almost certainly be the case. It'll most likely be like Season Two, which could use the save files from previous games in the series to have your decisions carry over to the new season, and it will prompt you to do so when you launch a new game, at which point it will automatically scan for a compatible save file.
(7) How much will season three cost?
This hasn't been announced, but it's unlikely to waver much from Telltale's current usual price: $5 for one episode and a season pass option comprising all five episodes for $25.
(8) I'm new to Telltale. How do "Episodic" games work?
With a bit of patience, they do work. You can expect to receive a new episode roughly every one to two months. The way this works is each individual episode contains an individual part of a story that is held together through a narrative that connects all of the episodes together into what Telltale calls a season. Think along the lines of a serialized television series such as Lost.
The reason it takes a month or two to release the episodes is because Telltale's games really are created episodically, as they develop their games as they're making them, rather than finishing them ahead of time and then holding onto them until release (Telltale keeps working on the episodes right up until release day in the case of the computer versions). This has the added benefit of allowing them to improve game play or include topics in the storyline based on gamer and critic feedback (such tweaks to the action parts of The Walking Dead in later episodes, or the battery joke in episode 2 of The Walking Dead, or the joke about the length of Bone: Out from Boneville in Bone: The Great Cow Race).
(9) How many episodes will there be in season three?
The majority of Telltale's seasons have had five episodes, so that trend is likely to continue into Season Three.
(10) When will the season three episodes be released?
The release dates for season three are NOT OUT YET!!
(11) Why doesn't Telltale give more specific updates about when upcoming episodes will be released?
Telltale's early days of open transparency are just not possible anymore. Before they only released games on their online store and GameTap, and had much lower profile licenses. Now that they are working with large corporations such as Warner Bros (which owns Vertigo, which is an imprint of DC Comics) for Fables, and with big name licenses like The Walking Dead, and have to deal with distribution deals with large console manufacturers like Sony and Microsoft, they can't announce release dates until very close to release. This is because the distribution partners are the ones who set the release dates on their platforms, and they only set aside release for a few games per week, and only release them on certain days). As Telltale's PR person Laura Perusco has said:
"Bear in mind that we're usually only able to announce release dates really close to an episode's actual release - think back to The Walking Dead: Season Two premiere, where we could only announce dates the DAY BEFORE the ep came out.
A lot of times this has to do with coordinating releases across multiple platform partners like with our friends at Valve/Steam, Sony, Microsoft, or Apple. As with all of our episodes, we always try make sure the content lands across all platforms as close together as possible so that all fans can join in the discussion at around the same time."
That's the reason that they can only give release dates when they have them, and can only give vague statements such as that they're still working on the game when they don't have them. They do give updates through twitter, Facebook, and sometimes on the Telltale forum that they are still working on the game, so they do their best letting people know that game development is progessing. Specific updates on release dates are just not possible until the moment Telltale gets them from their distribution partners. Telltale has always been a company that's appreciative of their fans (putting fan feedback into releases, allowing fans to post videos of their games without restriction (even going so far as to allow complete playthroughs of their episodes without commentary), etc). If they could give release dates sooner, they definitely would.
(12) Will the different platforms for season three release simultaneously?
Almost. Telltale has come a long way since 2009, when the PC and console releases of their episodes were months apart. With the first season of 'The Walking Dead' and most of the second, most platforms released within days of each other, and even these small lags were only due to the different release schedules of XBLA and PSN NA. However, PSN Europe always lagged a bit more. It is to be expected that these lags will also be apparent and unavoidable during the season three release. Be prepared!
(13) Are there concrete release dates for the season three episodes?
Absolutely not!! While Telltale doesn't start each new episode 'from scratch', large parts of the development cycle still take place during these release months. From writing to animation to voice acting to possible gamer input from the forums, it all comes together to form a new episode only weeks and days before release; and eventually, another time frame insecurity is added when console manufacturers receive the final build of the episodes for their quality assurance process.
As a consequence, fixed dates will only be announced mere days before an episode releases (in Telltale's blog, on their twitter, Facebook page, or possibly through official press releases or interviews with Telltale staff on large gaming sites such as IGN or Game Informer). Don't ever believe dates given by various unofficial sites, including placeholder dates on large gaming sites such as IGN or Game Informer (unless they were accompanied by an official statement or press release from a Telltale staff member)! These are nothing but estimates, placeholder dates and possibly wishful thinking.
(14) For which languages will season three be available?
Only English is certain at first (as that is the original language as written by the Telltale writing staff). There is no word on what languages season three will be translated to or when they will be available, but historically Telltale has released their translations towards the end of the season.
(15) Will there be a bonus/free collector's DVD version for season three available from the Telltale store?
This hasn't been announced, but it's certainly a possibility.
Season Two FAQ
(1) What is The Walking Dead: Season Two?
The Walking Dead: Season Two is a full fledged sequel, and doesn't require the first season of The Walking Dead to play. Like the original game, it is an episodic game based on moral choices that is set in the universe of Robert Kirkman's comic book series, The Walking Dead. It takes place many months after the events of No Time Left and features Clementine (the young girl Lee Everett took under his care in the first season) as the playable character.
(2) Is Robert Kirkman involved with the game?
According to his 2014 Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session, Robert Kirkman was more involved in the first season, as he personally approved the story of season one. For Season Two, he is less involved, but he still is there to make sure the characters and story stay true to the greater universe of The Walking Dead.
(3) When were the episodes for season two released?

(4) For which platforms is season two be available?
Season 2 is available for PC/Mac, PS 3 via PSN and disc, Xbox 360 via XBL and disc, iOS, and PS Vita, Kindle Fire (HD or HDX devices, 2nd generation and up), Amazon Fire TV, Android, Xbox One via XBL and disc, and PS4 via PSN and disc. An Ouya version is confirmed as well, but no release date has yet been announced.
(5) Will the decisions I made in season one and 400 Days carry over to season two?
Yes. Season Two can use the save files from Season One and 400 Days to have your decisions carry over to the new season, and it will prompt you to do so when you launch a new game in Season Two, at which point it will automatically scan for an S1/400 Days save file.
In order for this to work, you'll need to have your save-games on your PC/console, so if your S1 save game is on The Cloud, you'll need to transfer it back to your console for S2 to be able to read it.
(6) How much does season two cost?
The usual Telltale Season price: $5 for one episode and a season pass option comprising all five episodes for $25. The price might vary per platform. On some platforms (like the PC), you can't buy the episodes individually and will have to buy the entire season at once.
(7) How many episodes are there in season two?
There are five episodes in Season 2, just like in Season 1. Their titles are: All That Remains, A House Divided, In Harm's Way, Amid The Ruins, and No Going Back.
(8) For which languages will season two be available?
Only English is certain at first (as that is the original language as written by the Telltale writing staff). There is no word on what languages season two will be translated to or when they will be available, but historically Telltale has released their translations towards the end of the season.
(9) Will there be a bonus/free collector's DVD version for season two available from the Telltale store?
Yes, indeed. If you order from the Telltale Store, you get a Season Collector's DVD with the game and a cover with exclusive artwork mailed to you for the cost of postage & packaging - a little while after the Season is finished. You're only eligible to get this DVD if you order from the Telltale Store (or from an outlet that has a code that redeems on the Telltale Store)!
(10) If I buy the game from someplace other than the Telltale store will I still get the collector's DVD?
No. The collector's DVD is only available for PC and Mac customers who order from the Telltale store (or from an outlet that has a code that redeems on the Telltale Store).
(11) What is on the collector's DVD from the Telltale store?
This time around there aren't any extras included, but you do get an exclusive cover that is digitally signed by Melissa Hutchison, the voice of Clementine.
(12) Will a DLC episode be released for Season Two, like with 400 Days in Season One?
No DLC content has been announced. 400 Days was Telltale's first time creating downloadable content for a season that was separate from the regular season, so it's unknown if this will be repeated for Season Two. It's certainly a possibility.
400 Days FAQ
(1) What is 400 Days?

(6) What is included with The Walking Dead Game of the Year Edition?
It includes all five episodes of season one and the downloadable content, 400 Days, on the disc. It also includes a voucher with a link to a website with some extras (a behind the scenes video with interviews and the season one soundtrack).
(7) Will there be a bonus/free collector's DVD version for season one available from the Telltale store?
Not for season one, since the collector's DVDs are traditionally announced before the start of the season, during the pre-order period.

My order has just arrived and I wanted to thank you for the excellent service. The order arrived very promptly via my postman, carefully packed and everything was just as I ordered. The quality and fit of the goods is excellent, the first comortable bras since I had my mastectomy eight weeks ago. I am also delighted to have a suitable swimming costume as I as keen to get back in the pool and the two caps are welcome and not too hideous ways of covering up my rapidly disappearing hair. In all, a good confidence boost at a farily grim time. Thank you.

I will certainly be dealing with you for some time to come. Many thanks...Mrs Shaw
I am just writing to say how delighted I am with my purchase from you. After many disappointments with trying to find a bra that was comfortable, and not totally plain, after my mastectomy, I turned to your site. I phoned you with my order yesterday and was helped greatly by the young lady who took my call, she reassured me that the bra I had chosen, 7005, would be suitable for me, but also said that if it was not I could return it. Then it arrived this morning, excellent service and joy of joys it fits, is comfortable and looks good. Thank you so much and I shall be coming back to you in future for some more bras.
I am contacting you to thank you so very much for the helpful service I received from you yesterday.

Cumulus Cincinnati reinvents by rebuilding and reusing
Radio Station 2.0
In a down economy, stations must be resourceful to reduce, reuse and recycle, even when building new facilities.
In the summer of 2008 I was asked by Cumulus Media Cincinnati, which owns and operates WRRM (Warm 98), WGRR (Cincinnati's Greatest Hits), WFTK (96 Rock), WNNF (Frequency 94.1) and WOFX (92.5 the Fox) to help plan, design and manage a complete studio and office facility move. With the purchase of WNNF and WOFX, the cluster had outgrown its downtown facilities and expanding in the existing building was not an option. The area had also been on a steady decline: It was time to make a move.
Karrie Sudbrack, local market manager, Gary Kline, Cumulus V.P. of engineering and IT, and I visited numerous buildings and locations. Would the building be easily accessed from all locations in the city? Would there be adequate parking? Did the facility have the proper security and safety for the employees? Were there clear STL paths to all the transmitter sites from the rooftop or could a small tower be erected on the premises that would accommodate these needs? Would there be enough space to expand or add studios in the future? Within a few short months and after many discussions, a perfect location was chosen.
The studios would be housed in a new and very modern building called Linden Pointe in the Norwood, OH, area. Norwood is a centrally located, up-and-coming neighborhood in the greater Cincinnati metro. It is surrounded by trendy retail shops, restaurants, businesses and night life. The floor chosen for the radio stations had never been occupied: It was a perfect blank canvas.
Getting started
The architectural firm selected for the project was SHP Leading Design. The SHP team worked with us to create an open office. Many radio station operators put their studios in a corner of the building to hide them from the public; our design would put the studios at the forefront of the facility. Two air studios would be placed on either side of the reception area with windows looking in. The rest of the studios and the technical operations center were laid out in the main hallway so clients and visitors would walk through and see them. Floor-to-ceiling windows bordered the entire space allowing a great deal of natural light. Walkways around the entire perimeter ensured the open feel. A giant common area and comfortable lounge areas were put in place to encourage collaboration. Only a few closed-door offices were proposed, but each would have glass doors and be visible from the outside.
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Building a facility of this size can be an expensive venture. Broadcasters in general have certainly felt the pain of the current economy and we simply could not look at the project with great big budget eyes. We would have to reuse much of the equipment we already had in place and purchase only necessary infrastructure items such as furniture, racks, wire, cable and connectors.
We moved a used 100kW natural gas generator from a former Houston studio facility. We reused our Best Power/Eaton UPS system from the old studio location. We even removed and reused the IAC soundproof doors from the old studios to save thousands of dollars.
For the studios we chose Omnirax's new Innova series line of furniture. David Holland of Omnirax took the time to help us configure and design a perfect fit customized for each room, console and operators' needs. We needed furniture that would be budget-friendly, but also very functional. It had to be sturdy and long lasting and we had custom size and usage requirements. Due to existing tenants on the floors below and above we could not run conduit to our studios and furniture. Instead, all the wire, cabling and electrical would have to enter the room and furniture through wall junction boxes. Omnirax's custom CAD design matched exactly to the plans and layout. Wire and cable were easily distributed throughout the furniture and the punch blocks were easy to access and terminate. We were absolutely amazed with the quality, craftsmanship and extremely easy setup of this furniture line. On the day of delivery, we had a small crew of six engineers. Less than eight hours from the time the truck pulled up we had unpacked, moved and assembled all eight studios. It was definitely an experience to remember.
