President’s Note
I guess I couldn’t resist.
I’ve signed up for two more years as President of the board of the National Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences—Northwest Chapter! I’m delighted and honored to
be doing so. The reason I got involved in NATAS in the first place is the same reason many of you are involved: Our organization is all about ‘Excellence in Television’ and now of course, ‘Excellence on the Web’ as well.
The nominations are in.
And soon, we’ll see who gets to bring home the ‘hardware.’ It should be an incredible night. This year’s Northwest Emmys will be hosted by your favorite and mine:
Pat Cashman! Son, Chris, will be producing the show. I can’t wait to see what Pat
and Chris come up with. I know we’ll all be laughing a lot.
Last year at this time, I was still reporting at KOMO 4 News. In fact, in my President’s Note in May of 2007, I gave a big thanks to General Manager Ross Davis and
SCCTV for providing live streaming of the Emmy show. It was the first time we had
ever streamed the Emmys. I wrote then, “I just googled SCCTV, and didn’t realize
they were the first community college television station in the country to stream live
and ‘fulltime’ on the internet.”
Here I am, one year later, and I feel so fortunate to be able to say that I'm the new
General Manager at Seattle Community Colleges Television. Ross Davis is enjoying
his retirement and thankfully still serving on the board. And speaking of our Board of
Governors. They're an amazing group who work tirelessly on programs and events
just for you! The next event? The Emmy Awards of course.
By now, hopefully, you’ve bought your tickets to the big show! To all the nominees,
best of luck. See you June 7th .

The Emmy Awards Banquet
Saturday, June 7, 2008,
5PM Cocktail Reception
Jonas Jensen Fremont Studios
155 North 35th Street
Seattle, Washington
Television journalists from Seattle and Portland took
the “show on the road” in April, bringing Emmy on the
Road workshops to Eugene, OR and Missoula, MT.
NATAS Northwest sponsored the visits by Kim Griffis,
Laural Porter, Kurt Austin and Tim Griffis.
Kim and Tim Griffis conducted a workshop at brand
new Don Anderson Hall on the University of Montana
campus in early April. Professionals from Missoula participated in the presentation “Finding Emmy-winning
Stories in your own Backyard.” Kim and Tim spoke of
the need to work outside your shift to find meaningful
stories that don’t happen between 9 and 5.
The Griffis team also worked with students in the Radio-Television Department at the Journalism School at
UM. They viewed and critiqued segments of a documentary-in- progress and showed students how to get
the most out of interviews. They spent time showing
how reporter/photographer teams best work together and
conducted a mock interview where they showed students what NOT to do.
Laural Porter and Kurt Austin of Portland’s KGW-TV
cruised to Eugene on April 20th to share their wisdom
and advice. The two have won multiple Emmy awards
for their work and recently learned they are the winners
of a regional Edward R. Murrow award. Laural and Kurt
shared what they’ve learned with media professionals and students and say it was a great way to “pay forward”
what they’ve gained through experience.
Laural and Kurt showed students and professionals
the difference teamwork can make on every story.
They shared how they work together on everything
from story concept to writing and editing. Laural says
she’s sure they were in the company of future Emmy
winners.
My thanks to both teams for taking time from their
busy schedules to take the Emmy message to students
and professionals in the smaller markets in our region.
The Emmy on the Road program is one of many ways
NATAS Northwest is reaching out to members and
non-members to improve the quality of television journalism in our region. ~ Denise Dowling

A Sunset Bowl SNICKERS for JP Patches
Help us celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first
Seattle broadcast of J.P. Patches and honor Chris
Wedes with a bronze statue!
Patches Pals, with a little help from NATAS, are

bronze sculptures of J.P. Patches and Gertrude,
played by Chris Wedes and Bob Newman on
KIRO TV from 1958 to 1981.
The sculpture will be placed in Fremont near the
The SEATTLE CHANNEL shot a special episode of the weekly
magazine show CityStream during the final hours of Sunset Bowl in
April. Co-hosts Chris Cashman and John Keister were on hand as the
city said goodbye to yet another local icon.
One bright spot in the affair was Chris' purchase during the show of
the last SNICKERS bar in the Sunset Bowl vending machine, and
subsequent posting of the yummy snack on eBay. Bids pushed the
final sale price to $52.03--thanks to exposure from the PI and numerous blogs--with all proceeds donated to the JP Patches statue campaign.
Winning bidder was an Auburn man who, like so many others, really
loves JP! To see video of the Sunset Bowl episode of CityStream,

FORMER KING/KIRO ANCHOR AARON BROWN RETURNS TO TV
More than two years after leaving CNN, Aaron Brown is joining
PBS' "Wide Angle" series.
"If I was going to do broadcast journalism again, be a public person
again ...then it had to be something different from what I'd done,"
Brown told The Associated Press. "You can count on one hand how
many gigs there are like this."
Anchoring "Wide Angle," a weekly public affairs series with a
global focus, offers the chance "to work in an environment where
people just think about making good TV and good journalism,"
Brown said.
"By the end (of an episode), you understand the world you live in
and how it's connected to you," he said Saturday.
Brown, 59, who left CNN in November 2005 during a shake-up that Brown delivers the commencement speech at Arizona State Unigave his time slot to rising star Anderson Cooper, said he was con- versity in May, 2007
tractually barred from working in TV until last June. He's been
teaching at Arizona State University as its first Walter Cronkite Professor of Journalism.
Besides serving as anchor of "Wide Angle" and helping prepare episodes for broadcast, Brown plans to do field work on a story,
possibly involving Venezuela or the Middle East. Topics to be covered this season include the crisis in the Sudan and the changing
role of Japan's military.
"Wide Angle" begins its seventh season July 1. ~The Associated Press

Anthony
Champion of social justice, passed away March 22 in Seattle surrounded by family
and friends. A lawyer and labor negotiator, Tony was executive director of the
American Federation of Television and Radio Artists in Seattle, local representative
of the Screen Actors Guild, and deputy director of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees, Washington chapter. He negotiated the first domestic partnership provision accepted by the City of Seattle, represented the Seattle
Symphony & Opera Players' Organization, the King County Prosecutors and a host of
individual artists, performers and broadcasters. He served as Assistant Dean at Gonzaga University Law School, where he also taught a course in entertainment law. He
served as Executive Director of the Dispute Resolution Center of King County, a nonprofit organization providing
mediation services to the public. Tony was a faithful servant in the Greek Orthodox church in Portland, Spokane
and Seattle. He was active in the Order of American Hellenic Education Progressive Association, serving as District Governor and attending many district and national conventions. He was also active in the state Democratic
Party and attended the 1980 National Convention as a Ted Kennedy delegate. He proposed to his wife, Dale, while
dancing at President Clinton's inaugural ball. He was an eloquent speaker, drawing a picture with words that enabled his listeners to be totally enveloped by his imagery. Tony was born Sept. 6, 1946 to Mary and the late Nick
Hazapis of Wauna and Seaside, Oregon. He graduated from Clatskanie High School and earned degrees from the
University of Oregon, where he belonged to TKE fraternity, and Gonzaga University Law School, where he was
the President of the Student Bar Association. Tony is survived by his loving wife and soul mate, Dale; his mother,
Mary; sister-in-law, Mary; nephew, Nick (Debbie and Alix); niece, Tia; nephew, John (Sereena, Taelor and Eli);
aunt, Angie Anast, and cousins, Steve and John Anast. Tony is also survived by many extended family members
and other friends. Memorial gifts are welcome for The Karen Marchioro Democratic Party History Project, 10043

Court Chief Justice, P.O. Box 1661, Helena, MT 59624.
In 1998 when Robert “Bob” Kelly was inducted into NATAS Northwest’s Silver Circle, he was
described as a pioneer— “one that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity.”
Kelly was a true television pioneer. At the age of 15, his father started KCRA radio in Sacramento, CA where Bob worked as a bill collector. He also wrote radio shows, advertising copy
and he even recorded remotes from the Fremont Presbyterian Church and MoMo’s Jazz Club.
After a stint in the Army (which he told people ended at 2:4M on May 18, 1953), Bob returned to
KCRA radio to work as a salesman, copywriter and programmer. With his father and brother
Jon, Bob started up KCRA-TV, which signed on the air on September 3, 1955. In 1956, Kelly
took on the role of station manager for the television station and remained in that position until
1968. Recognizing the need for growth in the news department in 1956, Bob decided to take on a position as “news
trainee” as he helped build the KCRA-TV news department. He worked in that capacity until his retirement in 1975.
But he couldn’t stay away for long — in 1979, Bob and his brother heard about a public TV station for sale in Tacoma,
Washington. They flew up to make an offer, which was accepted. The FCC approved the sale in December, 1979 and
the station went dark while plans were made to being operation as an independent station. KCPQ-TV signed on the air
on November 4, 1980 and joined the start-up FOX network in 1986 as program direction and general manager. He retired a second time in 1995.
Kelly died on April 14 after a long illness, at the age of 78.
