Saturday, June 9, 2018 SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 2018 55th ANNUAL NORTHWEST REGIONAL EMMY® AWARDS JUNE 9, 2018 PROGRAM OF EVENTS Opening Remarks Joan Cartan-Hansen, President Silver Circle Induction Lori Matsukawa, KING, Silver Circle 2014 Emmy® Awards Host & Producer Chris Cashman PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On behalf of the Northwest chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, I welcome you to the 55th Northwest Regional Emmy®Awards. Ours is a profession under attack, facing technological transitions and real economic challenges. And yet, despite all that, the work produced in our region shines as an example to the rest of the country. We have the largest region by size and, I believe, the best quality of journalists, producers, writers, editors, directors and talent in the nation. We can all be very proud. Tonight, we honor you. We salute our extraordinary Silver Circle inductees, applaud the outstanding work from our Student Award nominees and recognize our remarkable scholarship recipients. We also pay tribute to those we lost this past year. It will be an evening to remember. Events like this don’t just happen. Our board of governors and our committees give countless hours to do our chapter’s work. From nomination parties to award ceremonies, scholarship recruitment to social media campaigns, and show production to entry judging, these dedicated volunteers work the entire year to honor the best. I thank each of them for their service and I invite you to join us. Send me an email if you’d like to get involved. I also especially want to thank our executive director Diane Bevins and her team at Association Services Inc. for their tireless efforts on our behalf. I am privileged to serve as your president. I wish you a fun and inspired evening. Congratulations to you all. Joan Cartan-Hansen 55th Annual Northwest Regional Emmy® Awards PURPOSE Each year, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) confers the coveted Emmy Award upon talented individuals within the broadcasting industry. The Emmy® Award is the symbol of excellence in broadcasting and—as we all know—excellence is achieved in every market size. The purpose of the Regional Awards is to recognize such achievements within the smaller geographic areas of the country. There are currently 19 regional chapters of NATAS in the United States. The constitutionally mandated territory of the Northwest Regional Emmy® Awards includes the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The Regional Emmy® statuettes presented this evening serve to provide incentive for further achievement and to focus the public’s attention on the cultural, technological and artistic advancement of our professional colleagues locally. All entries must have been created, produced and originally broadcast within the Northwest Regional Emmy® Awards competition territory between January 1 and December 31, 2017. The entries must not have been broadcast to more than 50 percent of the national television audience. We wish to thank the Boston/New England, Lone Star, Mid-America, Mid-Atlantic, Nashville and Rocky Mountain chapters for judging this year’s awards. JUDGING EMMY® Emmy® Award judging is peer judging. A peer judge is defined as any person with a minimum of two years of professional experience in the field of television program production or programming who is directly engaged in or supervises the discipline being judged. Potential judges may also include professionals in allied fields, who by the specific nature of their work are uniquely qualified to make judgmental decisions concerning particular areas of television production. Examples of peer judges include: writers; producers; directors; programming, production and news executives; craft persons; advertising agency executives and creative directors involved in programming decisions; print journalists (who have hands-on television production experience); sports professionals; college university educators who represent journalism/film/television; and former broadcast journalists. To keep awards at the highest level of integrity, television professionals from other chapters judge your work. With online judging, there are some categories whereby several chapters are involved in the judging process. A minimum of six, but preferably more judges view each entry. These judges view each entry and score online, without discussion. No consensus judging is allowed. Just as we count on our peers in other markets to judge our entries, we count on you to help judge theirs. The success of the Emmy® awards process depends on the willingness of qualified professionals to serve as judges. As stipulated by the “Standard Clauses,” those persons entering the competition have agreed to serve as a judge. This year we will judge entries from the Lone Star, Ohio Valley, Mid-America, Nashville, and Rocky Mountain chapters. Throughout the year, we receive requests for judging. We hope you will serve as a judge. Contact our chapter office at 206.575.3444 or [email protected] to indicate your interest.

  • The Oregonian Portland Water Plant Threatens Neighbors' Rural Lifestyle
    The Oregonian Portland water plant threatens neighbors’ rural lifestyle, they say By Everton Bailey Jr. November 13, 2019 Pat and Dean Walter didn’t know the loud noises coming from their neighbor’s property in May would have an impact on their drinking water supply. That neighbor is the city of Portland, which own 95 acres that sit next to the couple’s nine-acre property near the Multnomah and Clackamas county line. The city’s water bureau was drilling on the property to test the soil in anticipation of its plans to build a new water filtration plant there. “It shook the earth,” said Pat Walter, who has lived in the area with her husband for 24 years. “That’s why we lost our water, because it loosened the soil down there at the bottom of our well.” The couple, who live in unincorporated Clackamas County, get their drinking water from a well on their property. They said the city drilled about 85 feet from their water source and they believe the resulting vibration led to them getting less water than normal. Testing found that their well now pumps 1.5 to 2 gallons per minute, whereas it previously delivered 9 to 10, they said. They fear the well could go dry if things don’t change by the summer, when the flow from their well typically decreases. Bureau officials have told them they’ll ask the city council in late winter or early spring to give the Walters funds for repairs. “They say we’ll be compensated and we believe we will,” Pat Walter said.

    NEWS RELEASE Media Contact: Maria Lamarca Anderson 206.728.2375/ [email protected] BULLYING: BREAKING THE CYCLE Thursday, March 17 • 10pm • KIRO 7 SEATTLE―Seventeen-year-old Bill Clayton of Olympia was walking outside of his school when he was taunted for being gay by a classmate and three of his friends. Later that day, the four ambushed Bill and severely beat him, landing him in the hospital. A month after the incident, Bill took his own life. His mother and father said Bill couldn’t live in fear the rest of his life for he thought it would happen again and again. A growing number of young people are faced with this fear every day. Bullying: Breaking the Cycle, a KIRO 7 Family Connection Special Presentation, tells their stories and delves into the many aspects of the new wave of this age-old problem. KIRO 7 Eyewitness News Evening Anchors Angela Russell and Steve Raible team up with Morning Anchors Julie Francavilla and Chris Egert to shed light on this important issue affecting children and families in our community. Bullying airs on Thursday, March 17, at 10 p.m. on KIRO 7. What does bullying look like? Who bullies, and who gets bullied? Why? What do parents need to know? What are educators doing about it? What can we do to break the cycle? Angela Russell discusses the consequences of bullying and how reducing it can raise the level of academics. She also spotlights Dan Savage and the online It Gets Better Project he created in response to the seven suicides in three months of teenagers who were being bullied for being gay or perceived as gay.

  • The Oregonian Portland Arts Tax Overhead Costs Exceed Voter
    The Oregonian Portland Arts Tax Overhead Costs Exceed Voter-Mandated Limits By Jessica Floum September 14, 2017 Portland has fallen short of its pledge to spend 95 percent of arts tax revenue on music and art programs. City officials have devoted almost 8 percent of the funds on administrative activities, exceeding the 5 percent cap promised to voters who approved the tax in 2012, a report presented to the city council Wednesday showed. The difference has amounted to $1 million from 2012 to 2015. The city also learned that about a quarter of Portlanders are not paying the tax, which brings in about $10 million each year – $2 million less than anticipated. The tax pays many art and music teachers in schools, supports arts organizations in the community and funds grants to expand access to the arts. "This 5 percent thing is really important to me because it's a bellwether on how we're spending the dollars," Mayor Ted Wheeler said. "If you're spending it on overhead, that means you're not spending it on access and equity issues around an arts education." Portland's Chief Revenue Officer Thomas Lannom said that the high overhead spending is a "pretty good deal" and necessary to maximize revenue for the city through collections. The city spends about $850,000 a year to collect the tax. Costs include employees to answer phones and contact delinquent taxpayers, flyers educating the public about the tax and notices of delinquency. Lannom said spending only 5 percent on overhead costs was an unrealistic goal. He asserted that voters would prefer spending more to collect more money to ensuring 95 cents of every dollar collected goes to the arts.
