June 7, 2008. Bexley, Ohio. Bexley High School senior Timothy Nassau radio broadcast intern at WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM

Bexley High School senior Timothy Nassau completed his senior project as radio broadcast intern with WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM.

His work for Bexley Public Radio Foundation radio station included administrative assignments, production work and on-air live radio performance.

An example of Nassau's administrative work is a grant proposal that he wrote and submitted to the Bexley Education Foundation. The proposal is to purchase digital sound recorders for the high school library. If the grant is awarded, students can use the recorders for radio production at WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM.

Nassau also acted as substitute host for The John Manning Show and The Joe Contino Show where he performed both unscripted and scripted material.

Production assignments included important interviews with public officials and reports on quotidian matters.

Nassau conducted an interview with Bexley city councilman Ben Kessler. A major portion of the interview covered the councilman’s work to make public access to municipal government information much easier.

Nassau also produced a memorable interview with Mayor John Brennan on the new mayor’s first one hundred days in office.

Other Nassau productions included an interview with the proprietor of Charms, a new retail children clothing shop in downtown Bexley and also gathering the menu details for the WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM daily lunch special report on the principal Bexley restaurants and lunch spots.

On a daily basis, the Bexley High School senior also read the weather forecasts prepared for Bexley by the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Nassau’s weather reports were broadcast live and un-rehearsed.

During his live program hosting, Nassau experimented with ad lib commentary and humor. By the end of his senior project, his repartee and wit were much improved by the example set by other program hosts and station management.

Nassau will be attending Brown University in the coming autumn.

His work at the Bexley Public Radio Foundation radio station is much appreciated.

Radio journalist Matt Brooke completes Bexley assignment and returns to Guatemala City

Monday June 2, 2008. Journalist Matthew Brooke completed his last assignment as guest host of The Joe Contino Show on WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM. Brooke is a journalist and translator for InforPress Central America Report.

Brooke worked for the radio station as a journalist and program host during April and May.

Brooke was in Columbus, Ohio undergoing a regimen of specialized physical therapy at The Ohio State University Medical Center following a motor vehicle accident while on journalistic assignment in Honduras.

Brooke's last show was an extended interview of Timothy Nassau a recent graduate of Bexley High School. Nassau graduated summa cum laude and is one of two Bexley graduates who will attend Brown University in the coming autumn.

During his tenure with WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Brooke reported on progressive issues such as predatory lending, sub-prime mortgages and inner-city mortgage foreclosures. He reported on these issues from Cleveland, Ohio an area particularly impacted by economic conditions and mortgage foreclosures.

Brooke's hard-hitting reporting on these issues gave WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM listeners the critical insight necessary to understand the several federal and Ohio legislative proposals addressing these important issues.

Brooke has returned to Guatemala City and resumed his usual work for InforPress Central America Report. The Central America Report provides strategic intelligence on Central America and also does special investigations on issues such as the Guatemala: peace process and agrarian land reform.

Before his last assignment, WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM requested that Brooke join its stable of culture correspondents and that he file quarterly or monthly culture dispatches from central America recounting local events that will be of interest to the Bexley radio audience.

Currrently, WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM has culture correspondents reporting from Homer Alaska, Portsmouth New Hampshire, Huntington West Virginia and Golden Colorado. The culture correspondents keep Bexley residents informed of interesting and unusual events in those distant locales.

The WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM audience benefited by the intrepid reporting of Matthew Brooke. The staff, management and WCRX-
LP editorial collective of Bexley Public Radio Foundation appreciate the opportunity to work with an experienced professional like Matt Brooke.

Columbus, Ohio. Crew Stadium. Bexley girls soccer team wins over Bishop Hartley.

A hot early autumn Saturday afternoon. Wishing that the Bexley girls soccer game was in a small field with open bleacher seats that give full advantage to a breeze.

But the game is at the Crew Stadium. A metal oven. A solar metal oven.

This is one of the big games for the Bexley girls. Probably a rivalry because many of the girls on both teams have played with and against each other since their CESA club beginnings.

The entrance to the Crew Stadium is a bit confusing.

Too many activities in a large field going on at once. A young man who appears to be a parking lot gatekeeper is counting a large roll of currency. We stop to ask the charge for parking and he motions us into the parking lot.

The first building is the Ohio Historical Society. There are cars parked in front of the large floating block building but no sign that the building is open. What appears to be the frame for an Indian dwelling is built in a shady area on the west side of the Historical Society building.

Then the Highway Patrol Training Academy. Two student officers direct traffic through a stop sign to parking areas. Their directions are inconclusive. Much to learn for these student. The Ohio Quarter Horse Congress is in the fair grounds below 17th Street but the horse trailers are parked in the field near the Crew Stadium entrance. There are hundreds of the oversized trailers in the field.

My wife notes that “for sale” signs are on most of the horse trailers in the row that we pass on the way to the stadium.

We pass some parking spaces that are demarcated with Bexley banners. Later we figure out that the location is set aside for a Bexley tail gate party after the girls and boys games are over and before the Crew match begins in the evening.

We easily find a parking space in the third row from the entrance to the stadium. Row X, two cars west of a large oak tree. The only tree in that part of the field. Since we will leave the car keys with our daughter, Row X and the oak tree will serve as easy landmarks for her to recognize.

Parked in the third row are the Bexley Blue Boys, greasing up with their Bexley Blue grease paints.

As we walk to the entrance, we notice there are even empty parking spaces in the first row. That is an indication of the crowd size. As the sun moves to the western horizon, the shade from the tree is already disappearing where we are parked.

We are a little bit late, The loudspeaker is calling out the names of the Bexley team starting line-up.

When we step into the stadium, the Bishop Hartley team is being introduced.

The crowd, Bishop Hartley and Bexley fans, are sitting generally together. It is a large crowd for high school girls soccer. The rivalry might explain some of the crowd size. Also the ticket “sales” that financed the use of the Crew Stadium. The tickets weren’t sales really. A lot of friends and neighbors received comps I’m sure. Comps helped to build the audience.

Still, for the larger than usual crowd size, the Crew Stadium is eighty times too large for this crowd. Most Bexley backyards would have been suitable for the game field and crowd.

The Bishop Hartley coach has a reputation for being boisterous. Ten minutes into the game he is angry and his loud voice fills the stadium.

Twenty seven minutes into the game, Bexley player Brynn Kolada is down. Too long for her fans’ comfort. Finally, she gets up and walks to the sideline. Her mother walks back from the side line and offers neighbors the hopeful insight that Brynn doesn’t want Advil so it isn’t too bad.

This contest is very physical. The Hartley girls are larger and more muscular than the Bexley girls. When there are collisions and bumps, the Bexley girls go down on the field. But the Bexley girls spring back up and, frequently, have control of the ball. Two Hartley girls are down for extended periods of time. In the second half one Hartley player is carried off the field on a stretcher. A neighbor notices that a trainer is holding the player’s ankle so it won’t move. At another moment, Rachel Crane is hit by a larger Hartley player and she is spun 360 degrees around on a horizontal plane. I catch just the last moment of Bea Weiland in what was probably a full flip. Rachael Crane was back up immediately. So was Bea Weiland.

This is a physical game.

At the half, the score is zero to zero. Bexley dominated the first half and kept the ball on their offensive. But no goal. The same in the second half: Bexley dominates the field and keeps the ball on the offensive. At one point the Hartley fans were noticeably excited merely because the Hartley girls had the ball on offensive. To no avail.

Twenty minutes into the second half Jessie Linger scores Bexley’s first goal.

With only nine minutes and thirty seconds left in the game someone in the Hartley area screams. The scream ends quickly. No reason for the scream is apparent. A mystery scream at a soccer game.

Other than the single incident in the first half, the Hartley coach has been quiet in this game. Was the Hartley screamer the coach’s wife perhaps?

With thirty seconds to go in the game Jessie Linger scores the second goal for Bexley.

Final score: Bexley 2. Bishop Hartley 0.
