PHILADELPHIA-­BASED CBS 3 morning anchor, Erika von Tiehl, dated John Hart this past Fall. He was on parole at the time for harassing other women.
Erika von Tiehl, CBS TV-­3 morning news an-­
chor, has many, many fans — and at least one she would rather not have.
A man she dated briefly, John Hart, 35, of Haverford, was arrested recently for harassing her.
A police source was reported as saying the trouble started when von Tiehl told Hart, “I don’t want to see you any more.”
“Life became miserable, (for her),” the source added. Hart was arrested and charged with identity theft, disruption of service, harassment and pos-­
sessing instruments of a crime.
He allegedly disrupted her phone, bank and utility services.
Hart has a police record, and served a year in a state prison for earlier similar actions against other women. He was on probation at the time he dated von Tiehl.

The Next Big Thing is Always on Display at the CES
By Mike Mallowe
Every year the most influen-­
tial trade show in the world takes place in Las Vegas in January. It’s called the Consumer Elec-­
tronics Show. This is the place where smart phones, flat screen tele-­
visions and tablets have been born. The nerds and the hackers get all the action at this event. During the past few years the CES has been forced to slow down, relatively speaking, because the economy has been longing for life-­support. This year’s version wasn’t exactly like old times, but the show’s edge was definitely back. Attendance broke all pre-­
vious records — an estimated 140,000 — and big expense ac-­
counts even began a slow creep back. It would be whistling past the graveyard to speculate from this evidence alone that the de-­
pression is losing its mordant sway, but advertising, marketing and media people were there, in huge numbers, salivating over all the new must-­haves. At least their bosses were willing to pay for air fare and ho-­
tel rooms. That’s an improvement over recent shows.
CES Trips and Trends
Even in the lean years the CES is always good for gossip and trends. Apple always stays away, no expensive booths for them. However, Apple does dis-­
patch about 250 of its employees to “roam the aisles” as one com-­
mentator put it, “checking out the competition”. This year was no different:
The phrase on most lips in Vegas is “front-­facing” cam-­
era. This is an old concept that dates from the very beginnings of cable TV — a screen that can watch you while you watch it. The invasion-­of-­your-­priva-­
cy issue is unprecedented, but a front-­facing, built-­in camera allows for an incredibly accu-­
rate monitoring of exactly who is watching what on the TV at any given moment. This immediately makes the Neilson ratings as primitive as smoke signals.
Mailbag
To The Editor,
This letter is regarding an article from your paper (dated September, 2011), re-­
garding Jonathan Zellars/Philly Photogra-­
pher who died “mysteriously” in auto.
I am a member of the Church of Saint Asaphs, where Jonathan was also a mem-­
ber for the last several years.
The last sentence of the article, “There are no known survivors” is not accurate.
Mr. Zellars was survived by a brother, and quite a few cousins.
I know this because these relatives at-­
tended the funeral that was held in his honor, at Saint Asaphs on Sunday, 9/18/2011. Jon-­
athan was cremated and laid to rest in the graveyard at Saint Asaphs.
Although the “authorities” as the article stated, indicated that Jonathan was homeless, I don’t believe that is totally accurate. While I Mike Mallowe
The heavy-­hitters who cre-­
ate the Super Bowl ads and who spend billions throughout the year placing mass market mes-­
sages on network televisions are perpetually nervous over who, if anyone, is really watching what they pay for. The networks swear that their audiences are there;; but the methods for measuring viewer-­
ship haven’t really advanced all that far beyond those old honor system Neilson diaries. Front-­facing cameras can make all that change.
However, the one thing that a front-­facing camera can’t help is something that I like to call “screen creep”. do believe that he was between homes, my understanding was that he did have a place to live, but didn’t always stay there.
Further, he spent a great deal of his time at the church, especially on Sundays when he made sure the coffee was ready to go before the 8 am service, and always stayed until everything was cleaned up. Mr. Zellars was a valued, and vital con-­
tributing member of Saint Asaphs and he will be deeply missed.
Sincerely,
That’s what happens when the TV is on and when people are actually in the room watching — but they might be watching the phone screen in their hand or the lap-­top screen propped up on their knees. In this case they are monitoring every screen and dealings with all the ensuing dis-­
tractions. The front-­facing camera won’t change that, but at least the advertisers will be able to see exactly what’s going on. And you thought Big Broth-­
er was creepy! Ad Age suggested that these new privacy intrusions are so potentially troublesome that it might make the controversy over privacy on the internet “seem quaint” by comparison.
Front-­facing cameras also allow for an easy — and ulti-­
mately cheap — use of voice and facial recognition capability on your television. Forget the remote control, convenient as that is;; now, the TV will instantly respond to your voice and even your face, once it’s programmed and equipped to do that. High Definition TV

and lots of new stuff involving home delivery of 3-­D programs, among other innovations. USA Today put it this way, “With high-­definition televisions now in 87% of homes, TV mak-­
ers have accomplished their mission of selling HDTV to con-­
sumers. Their new goal: to whet your appetite for bigger screens with even more impressive picture quality, as much as four to 16 times the resolution of your cur-­
rent HDTV.”
Computers haven’t gone away, either, despite many pre-­
dictions that computers are so yesterday. The slimmest, trim-­

Busted for Assault
The radio host of the 97.5 Fa-­

According to the Daily News Philly Gossip Columnist Dan Gross, Byrne didn’t want to pay the $5 because he was a “celebrity”. Byrne was released from a night in jail after his girlfriend post-­
ed a $500 bail.
Later, Greater Media, the par-­

Guilty Conviction
For Teenage Killer
of Former Area
Radio Newsman
The teenage killer of a Phil-­
adelphia native, working as a free-­lance radio reporter for the national ABC News Radio net-­
work, was convicted recently.
The victim was George We-­
ber, who had worked at stations in Doylestown and Allentown. Weber, 47, and living in a Brooklyn apartment, met the kill-­
er, John Katehis, 19, through an ad on Craigslist. The ad was placed by We-­
ber. It offered money for sex.
Katehis responded — and stabbed Weber about 50 times.
Katehis gave a statement to police admitting stealing $60 from his victim after the killing.

Advertising/Communications Times COLONIAL MARBLE & GRANITE USES ADVERTISING
TO LAUNCH A HUGE SUCCESS
By: Bonnie Squires
I have not had the pleasure of meet-­
ing too many companies which, after launching in 2008, expect to gross $40 million in 2011.
In fact, I only know of one: Colonial Marble & Granite in King of Prussia.
Nikos Papadopoulos, president of the family business, is only 32 years old, and his right-­hand man, James Freeman, vice president of sales and marketing, is only 34 years old.
You might easily mistake them for the “dynamic duo.”
Fortunately, we were seated around a huge cool black marble conference table, or else the red-­hot energy emanating from this talented team would have singed my skin.
When the housing market tanked, Papadopoulos said his company created a “moving special” to help homeowners brighten their chances of selling. A $1,999 special was inaugurated, which includes up to 50-­square-­feet of granite, template, fabrication, installation, three different edges to choose from and a sink and single hole faucet. On holidays and special occasions they will spice up the offer with a Free Tile Backsplash of-­
fer as well as edge upgrade discounts, but the $1,999 special always remains.
And the thousands of gorgeous slabs of marble and granite in their huge ware-­
house, as well as the amazing display in their showroom, will certainly help any homeowner to spruce up their kitchen.
They now install 60 kitchens a day, throughout Penna., N.J., Del. & Md.
They are also one of the largest fabri-­
cators in the country. All this in just three years’ time.
You see the Colonial print ads almost every day in The Philadelphia Inquirer. And Nikos enlists his stunning mother Pamela for their television ads, which run constantly on local network and cable sta-­
tions.
Nikos and James know that news-­
paper ads have already worked for them. Close to holidays, their ads have themes. Only the headline changes.
Their advertising budget is between $3 and 4 million dollars. Their goal is to make Colonial Marble the “Kleenex” of the industry.
And they are branding themselves using partnerships with Sports Teams, like the Philadelphia Flyers (hockey), Phila-­
delphia 76ers (basketball), Philadelphia Union (soccer), the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association, the Delaware Youth Soccer Association as well as Tem-­
ple Athletics. Magazines? Look for Colonial Mar-­
ble in TRI-­STATE GOLF magazine. Radio? Listen to KYW for their ads and sponsorship of the traffic reports. Prospective customers do not have to make a special trip to the gigantic show-­
room, fabrication and warehouse facility on Henderson Road. There are seven mall locations which feature kitchen de-­
signs and marble samples. All are staffed. There is also a very long list of com-­
munity nonprofits which Colonial helps to sponsor, their way of “giving back.” And the advertising and sponsorships certainly are branding Colonial Marble & Granite as a leader in this industry.
Visit the showroom on Henderson Road in King of Prussia, and you will see dozens of staff members showing dozens l to r: James Freeman, Colonial Marble & Granite Vice President of Sales and Market-­
ing;; Pamela Papadopoulos and her son Nikos Papadopoulos, Colonial president, in their warehouse in King of Prussia.

of customers an amazing array of sample kitchens, plus hundreds of giant slabs of the most remarkable marbles and granites which you have ever seen.
Or, more accurately, which you have NEVER seen, because some of the slabs contain semi-­precious stones and are abso-­
lutely unique in their coloring and patterns. The marble and granite can also be installed in bathrooms, creating unique vanities, or installed in a fireplace in living room or den.
Colonial pledges one week from start to finish, and they seem to have a host of satisfied customers, often repeat business. For additional information, contact CBS 3

Advertising/Communications Times Looking Back — & Moving Ahead
Almost 50 years ago I start-­
ed an advertising and news pub-­
licity one person business.
My first investment was a used $35 Royal Typewriter.
I also signed a lease at $50/
month to rent a space — in a basement — at 246 S. 22nd St. It came with a desk and chair.
This summer, it will have been 56 years ago.
Since then, every day has been different. Some days I thought everyone wanted to hire me.
Some days I wondered what I was doing wrong, as there was no business.
I was reminiscing to myself (I tend to do that just before fall-­
ing asleep at night) about asso-­
ciates from our various divisions over the years.
Because we are inviting former staffers, clients and sup-­
pliers to an informal card ex-­
change during ACT’s Executive Networking Event, February 21, 30 YEARS AGO the above photo was taken when American Advertis-­
ing Services, a division of ACT Inc. marked it’s 25th year in business. It is to be noted that the young lady, first row, right, Kathy Newmiller is still with the firm, now 30 years later. 2012 4:45 PM to 7:15 PM at the Radnor Hotel, St. David’s PA, I thought it would be a good op-­
portunity to name some of our alumni.
The list is far from complete. It includes:
Tom Barron

Colleen Bronstein Mark Bruce Joe Bonee
Mary Bontempo

THE PHILADELPHIA REGIONAL BUSINESS/MARKETING MONTHLY
Joe Ball
Hopefully, the “lessons” and on-­hands daily experiences and services to clients have been re-­
warding to all parties.
For myself, it has been a wonderful life.
I haven’t “worked” one day in almost 56 years. Every day has been different, creative, people pleasant (well, maybe an occasional diversion).
A reminder to all those who have heard me say the following — often:
… “Persevere … Persevere … Persevere “
… “Do It Now”
… “Give Before You Get”
… “Find what you enjoy do-­
ing, and you will probably be suc-­
cessful, plus having a happy life”
I did — and do!

umnist for the Daily News of 23 years, died recently. He was 77.
Mr. McMullen, raised in Grays Ferry, attended St. Gabriel’s Paro-­
chial School and Southeast Cath-­
olic High School (now known as Neumann-­Goretti). Before Mr. Mc-­
Mullen graduated, he entered the Air Force serving as an airplane mechanic from 1951 to 1955. He later went on to earn his general equivalency diploma and then at-­
tended Temple University. During his career, Mr. Mc-­
Mullen worked shortly for AT&T as a utility lineman. Mr. McMul-­
len also worked for the Camden Courier-­Post, later taking a job as a reporter for the Trentonian, Trenton, which he quit after six years, refusing to write about something he was ordered to write but did not agree to. After-­
wards he joined the Daily News. Mr. McMullen is survived by his wife, Theresa Hackett;; five daughters, Coleen McMullen Stahl, Lauren Wirzberger, Kelly Rossi, Denise Uphoff, and The-­
resa Paone;; a sister;; a brother;; 13 grandchildren;; and one great-­
grandchild. Joseph Nettis Photographer Joseph Nettis, a photogra-­
pher, died recently. He was 83.
Mr. Nettis, a graduate of Overbrook High School, where he was the school newspaper and yearbook photographer, earned a bachelor’s degree in 1953 from Philadelphia College of Art (now known as University of the Arts).
Mr. Nettis career included advertising, studio work, and photojournalism.
In 1955 after National Geo-­
graphic published photographs of Mr. Nettis bicycle trip through Europe, he convinced the maga-­
zine be a sponsor of a round-­the-­
world trip in the spring of 1956. What was to be a three-­month journey lasted more than a year.
In June 1984 as part of an advertisement for the Philadel-­
phia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mr. Nettis’ did a color photograph of a sculler in front of the Fairmount Water Works, along with City Hall, the PSFS Bldg, and the Art Museum in the background. It was published in the New York Times Magazine. Mr. Nettis is survived by his wife, Elaine;; a stepdaughter, Dawn Hartman;; a sister;; and a brother. William H. Dean Jr., News Director William H. Dean Jr., a for-­
mer news director/writer/report-­
er, recently died. He was 77.
Mr. Dean, a 1952 Roxbor-­
ough High School graduate, earned a degree from Temple University in Radio and Televi-­
sion Communications.
Mr. Dean, as a teenager, acted as a news show weather-­
man on “TV Teen Club”, a local Phila. version of Paul White-­
man’s amateur hour. After serving with the U.S. Army Security Agency in the Philippines, Mr. Dean returned to Phila. pursuing a TV News Broadcasting career.
Mr. Dean was a reporter, news writer and Assistant News Director for KYW-­TV in Phila., later joining WLWI-­TV in India-­
napolis as News Director. Mr. Dean is survived by a brother, Robert;; a niece, Julia Guenther;; a nephew, Jeremy;; and three grandnephews. Robert W. Wood Graphic Designer Robert W. Wood, graphic de-­
signer, died recently. He was 97.
Mr. Wood, born in India-­
napolis, graduated in 1933 from Oakwood Friends School, and then in 1937 from Oberlin Col-­
lege with a bachelor’s degree in art history. During Mr. Wood’s career he was also a photographer and artist. During the 1960s Mr. Wood was vice president and art direc-­
tor at Al Paul Lefton Co. From time to time Mr. Wood did design work for The Inquirer.
His daughter, Barbara Wood Borne, said that Mr. Wood was challenged to counter the longtime slogan of the Evening Bulletin, “In Philadelphia, nearly everybody reads the Bulletin.” He came up with, “In Phila-­
delphia, nearly everybody heeds The Inquirer.” However, it wasn’t used. Mr. Wood, while in his 80s, transitioned from traditional de-­
sign techniques and layout to the Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator programs which were on his Ma-­
cintosh computer. Mr. Wood is survived by his wife, Mary;; three daughters, Barbara, Molly, and Susan;; four grandchildren;; a great-­grandson;; and nieces and nephews.

For Sale
The Main Line Times has a large real estate advertising sec-­
tion every week.
It’s one of the publica-­
tion’s most financially-­rewarding sources of advertising income-­ -­and also a major communica-­
tions hub for those selling and buying most types of real estate.
Thus it was a natural, re-­
cently, for the historical weekly to announce the sale in a page one news story with a headline of:
“ML Times Building For Sale”
For 64 years the publication has been at 311 Lancaster Ave., Ardmore, PA. In making the announce-­
ment, the story emphasized, and to quote:
“No we are not going out of business.”
It continued, “We are…in the market for new home head-­
quarters…on the Main Line.”
Where Printed
Printing of the newspaper has been done away from the Ar-­
dmore building for quite a while.
It is printed at Journal Reg-­
ister Offset, Exton, PA.
The mailroom functions are also at the Exton location.
