Sheila Gray - WXIX, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Sheila Gray brightens mornings

The co-anchor of Channel 19’s early news show adheres to a seriously tough routine - with a smile

By John Kiesewetter - The Cincinnati Enquirer

At precisely 4:30 p.m., Sheila Gray gets up from her kitchen chair and steps over to the refrigerator, while continuing her conversation with a guest.

"We always eat at 5 o’clock at my house," explains Gray, co-anchor of WXIX-TV’s Fox 19 Morning News, as she grabs ears of corn from the refrigerator.

To be energetic at 3:30 a.m., when she arrives at work, and alert on TV from 5:30 to 9 a.m., Gray adheres to a very strict schedule.

"I watch the local news at 6 p.m., and I’m in bed at 6:30 p.m.," says Gray, 38, who lives in Crestview Hills with her husband, Ric Robinson, and daughter, Katie, 9. "Katie tucks me in, and Ric tucks her in."

Getting nearly eight hours of sleep at night keeps the smile on Gray’s face all morning at Channel 19, a smile that helps to attract thousands of loyal viewers to the station’s four-hour local newscast.

"She’s always smiling, and people like that," says co-worker Bill Kelly, Channel 19’s morning meteorologist.

"At 3:30 a.m., or 9:30 a.m., the smile is always the same," says co-anchor Rob Williams, who has been paired with Gray since she was hired four years ago from WSAZ-TV in Charleston, W.Va.

Williams, who stays up later at night and catnaps after the newscast, has a theory on why Gray always looks so vigorous: "She gets her full eight hours of sleep every night. I don’t think anyone else here does."

As she shucks corn in her kitchen, Gray repeats the question she has heard often in grocery stores and public appearances around town:

"How do you get to sleep at 6:30 p.m.? If you get up at 2:30 a.m. enough days in a row, and it’s very easy to go to bed at 6:30."

True story: When Gray first met actress Jennifer Garner in Hollywood, on a Fox fall TV interview junket, the future Alias star was thrilled to meet her.

"Hey, you’re on TV in Charleston! That’s where I grew up!" said Garner, who was on Fox’s short-lived Time of Your Life two years ago.

Before coming to Cincinnati in 1999, Gray was a big deal in Charleston. She co-anchored the top-rated 11 p.m. news for 10 years on WSAZ-TV. She had been promoted to late-news anchor in 1989 at age 24, after only 18 months with the station.

She worked longer in a smaller market than she had planned because she had a deal with her husband, then the spokesman for the West Virginia State Police.

"I promised to stay there until he could retire (after 20 years), if he moved to wherever I wanted to after he retired," says Gray, who grew up in Sidney, Ohio, 90 miles north up Interstate 75.

"I just always loved Cincinnati. I had these great memories of going down to Reds games. This is where I wanted to go. So we moved here one week to the day after he retired."

"To think back on it now, she must have really loved me, because she wanted to move up to a major market," says Ric, 51, who’s working now as a substitute teacher at Beechwood Schools in nearby Fort Mitchell. He’s also written a book, "Cop: The Truth Behind the Badge", which has resulted in appearances on radio and cable news programs.

Gray - born Sheila Slyh - had sought TV jobs across Ohio, and in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, to be closer to her family in Sidney. She sent tapes to all four Cincinnati TV newsrooms with the goal of landing a 5:30 p.m. weekday anchor position.

Scott Diener, former WCPO-TV (Channel 9) news director, remembers Gray as "bright, articulate and genuine. I very well would have hired her, if we had an opening at the time," says Diener, news director for Louisville’s WHAS-TV.

At the time, Channel 19 was about to move Tricia Macke from mornings to the 10 o’clock News. So Gray was hired to work with Williams and weatherman Pat Barry.

Williams admits he was more than a little concerned about being teamed with "someone I barely knew" for three hours every morning. (The show expanded to four hours in November 2001.)

"She’s very easy to get to know. We had great chemistry in like two weeks," says Williams about Gray, now one of his best friends. "We talk a lot throughout the day."

Working for Channel 19 provides an extra bonus for her parents and childhood friends. Parts of Sidney can receive Channel 19’s signal.

"At the clubhouse where my parents play golf, they can get Channel 19 over the air," Gray says. "They’ve actually gone to the golf course a couple of times to watch me!"

No wonder Sheila and Rob stay so trim. They spend all morning running back and forth from their newsroom desks, about 100 feet from the Fox 19 Morning News set.

"It’s easy to keep up your energy because so much is going on," says Gray, who also works out in a Northern Kentucky health club frequented by Channel 9’s Clyde Gray and Pete Delkus.

Gray wakes up at 2:30 a.m. and monitors CNN Headline News in her modest two-story brown brick home. She listens to local headlines on WLW-AM on the 10-minute drive in her Lexus to the TV station in Queensgate.

From 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., she rewrites news copy and prepares for segments later in the morning. Much of what she reads from the teleprompter has been prepared by the news staff. It takes about 20 people - producers, photographers, directors, floor manager, graphics editor, etc. - to put the four-hour newscast on the air.

"I usually like to massage my copy. I just feel more comfortable reading my own stuff," says Gray, who sneaks bites of a peanut butter Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bar off camera.

She’s a quick study. She can catch a couple of American Idol and Joe Millionaire clips, and fake her way through a TV conversation with Williams about Fox’s hottest prime-time shows she missed because of her ridiculously early bedtime.

"I can see enough highlights to wing it for two minutes. It’s not like we’re talking about it for a half hour," she says. Often she rolls into work with story suggestions from things she has heard or read for Jonathan Mitchell, morning executive producer.

"She’s a great team player internally," says General Manager John Long, who has managed stations in Washington, D.C., and Indianapolis.

Says Mitchell: "She’s always ‘on,’ always thinking - and you don’t always get that with anchors. She’s the only one who comes in wide awake. We’re all half asleep, and she’s smiling and full of energy."

Perky?

"She’s too mature to be perky," Mitchell says. "Sheila has a presence. She just fills the screen. And she’s a good reporter and good writer. What more could you ask for in a morning anchor?"

Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen, a frequent Fox 19 Morning News guest, also marvels at her vitality. "I’ve been interviewed by her numerous times, and she’s never been in a bad mood - and at this hour!" says Allen after a recent 7 a.m. visit to the show.

Tri-State residents have noticed, too. Ratings for the morning news have increased since her arrival. The 7-9 a.m. portion in May, against Today, Good Morning America and Channel 12’s mostly local news, was No. 1 here in the key demographics: women and men ages 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54. (Channel 12 tied with women 25-54.)

"She’s personal, always happy, brings a parent’s view to some stories and just generally makes it easier to work out (while watching) in the morning," says Karen Weintraub, a regular viewer from Loveland.

Like most TV anchors, Gray is greeted by loyal viewers who think they know her personally because she’s seen in their homes daily.

"They’ll say anything to you like, ‘Your thighs look so big on TV!’" she says with a laugh. "Being recognized really is wonderful, because it means they’re watching - and I get to keep my job!"

From the living room, Gray produces a photo album to show off a snapshot of her with Sparky Anderson, the former Reds manager, from her Opening Day broadcast at Great American Ball Park.

The visitor was doubly impressed - by the photo, and the fact that she already has photos taken in April in an album.

"She’s the most organized person I know," says her husband. Pat Casey, Channel 19 news director, says the same thing in an interview the next day.

In addition to her 3 1/2 hours of live TV each day, Gray also hosts the syndicated Life Moments show noon weekdays on Channel 19. Every Tuesday she tapes a week’s worth of introductions to the show that profiles successful women.

Her days at Ohio University were so well planned that she graduated in three years in 1986. ("I was out of my mind. I wanted to get out of there and work!")

She started as a radio reporter for $13,000 a year at Charleston’s WCAW-AM and WVAF-FM, where the news director ordered her to change her name. ("He told me no one would trust a news reporter named ‘Slyh.’ He gave me the name Gray, which he picked out of a phone book.")

A year later, she broke into TV as weekend news producer and part-time reporter for Huntington’s WOWK-TV. ("I took a $1,000 pay cut from radio to get that job. Isn’t that crazy? But they hired me because I knew the area. I’m sure I was horrible!")

She still keeps in touch with friends from West Virginia and grade school. This summer she’s also helping organize her 20-year high school reunion.

"If you’re friends with her," Ric says, "you’re her friend for life."

After supper dishes have been cleared away, Gray heads into shut-down mode. The upstairs phones are turned off, and she grazes through the three local 6 p.m. newscasts.

Even if best friends call, Gray won’t touch the phone after 6:15.

"Most people still don’t realize that it’s 11 o’clock at night for me at that hour," she says.

In the summer, Gray often spends most of the day with Katie and Ric. During the school year, she spends afternoons helping Katie with homework.

"When we moved here, Katie was entering kindergarten ... and I was really concerned about working nights. I thought: If I go in to work at 2 p.m., I’ll never see her."

She admits having some qualms about the early shift, after spending most of her career in late nights. "I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about that, but I don’t mind it at all," she says.

When Sheila heads upstairs to bed, Ric becomes her "Commando of Quiet," tracking down owners of nearby barking dogs. Considerate neighbors don’t mow their yards at night, she says.

"I’m a real big believer in things happening the way they’re supposed to happen," she says. "This is the way it worked out, and I love it."

Hello Everyone

Now that the holidays are over we can begin our New Year’s "Resolutions" - lose weight from all the holiday eating - and raise more money for the building fund!

As we move forward into the new year, I would like to thank everyone for their support during 2003 - both emotional and financial. This past year will long be remembered as one filled with joys and sorrows - losing old friends and making new ones. Let us never forget those who cared enough about CWAB to devote their time, energy - and lives, to the ideals we believe in - assisting the blind and visually impaired - so they may have a more enriched and meaningful life. To those who are no longer with us - thank you, and may GOD bless you!

The support groups held a joint Thanksgiving luncheon on Tuesday, November 18th. The Services Division staff also attended. It was, as usual, a hearty meal surrounded with good friends, laughter and conversation.

December was hectic. The annual Consumer Christmas party was held on Saturday the 6th, a Country Holiday Breakfast was served at the Services Division on the 19th, and of course, our offices were closed the 25th, 26, and January 1st to observe the holidays.

Frequent visitors to our website (www.cabellwayne.org AND www.cwab.org) will find the entire year of GUIDE PAGE MAGAZINE print and audio available for review. Choose "On-line Editions" from our main page.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Until next month .....

Do you have a loved one with a disability who is searching for community support and services? The Department of Health and Human Resources Bureau for Medical Services has a three-year, $1.3 million grant to improve home and community-based services for people with disabilities or long-term illnesses. The Center for Excellence in Disabilities at West Virginia University, a part of the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center is managing the project called "Real Choices". Real Choice will assist people of all ages living with long-term illnesses or disabilities find resources in their communities. Real Choice will work with state agencies and community organizations to create improvements in long term care support systems.

Real Choice staff members offer information about resources to West Virginians through a toll-free hotline, 1-866-720-3606. Real Choice project staff members are dedicated to helping people access information about housing, employment, education, healthcare, recreation/leisure and transportation - people need to make real choices about where and how they live.

A key strength of the project is the committed leadership at the state level to integrate changes in line with the 1999 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Olmstead case which said people had a right to live in integrated settings.

The strength of the West Virginia Real Choice grant lies in the broad partnership of consumers, advocates and state agency staff that are coming together to identify opportunities and provide access to information for West Virginians with disabilities and long-term illnesses.

Not everyone who spends hours devouring westerns, romance novels and the latest current events periodicals is reading them.

Through a network of libraries around West Virginia, patients with visual impairments, physical handicaps and learning disabilities have been served for more than 70 years with most public library services in a non-print format.

Donna B. Calvert, director of special services for the West Virginia Library Commission, said the state’s collection has anything and everything a typical public library would have in its facility.

"We just weeded through, and right now we have about 125,000 titles," she said. "For those who need them, they’re delivered to their homes by the post office."

While the audiobook collection is strong, one thing the library doesn’t have on hand are Braille volumes. But, Calvert said, those are available through a partnership with libraries in Philadelphia.

"Braille is very thick and heavy," she said. "The best way I’ve heard it described is that to put ‘Harry Potter’ in Braille, it’s one foot cubed."

West Virginia has four sub-regional libraries to serve 3,800 special services patrons. Libraries in Cabell County, Ohio County, Parkersburg and the Romney School for the Blind have their own collections, and they serve multi-county areas, making access to these volumes easy.

And it’s a popular service. Calvert said the last time the commission took statistics on how often the services were being used, they showed that 215,000 items had been circulated.

Audiobooks are not only for those unable to read their print counterparts. Many people find that it’s often easier to listen to a tape rather than sit down to read.

"I listen to them while I cook and do laundry," she said. "It’s very hard to fold clothes and read a book. I’ll usually have an audiobook going from the library."

In addition to several thousand books, the library system also offers Newsline, a cooperative effort between the National Library Service and the National Federation for the Blind. Newsline has 60 different newspapers available by dialing a toll-free number. The service is entirely menu-driven, all through the telephone.

"A timely use of the newspaper was one thing a lot of people missed," she said. "Even though we did some of the newspapers, it was delayed."

Calvert said that while it has come a long way, the library commission is always looking for better ways to serve their community, and public libraries are rapidly expanding their collections.

"If you’re an avid reader, and all of a sudden you couldn’t read, you don’t lose that love of reading," she said. "My patrons have the exact same wants and needs."

"Scan" Agency News - Cleveland Sight Center - Nov-Dec 2003

From time to time in the last two years. I have written about proposed changes in accessibility standards for public rights-of-way. The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (ATBCB) is in the process of revising accessible construction standards for sidewalks, crosswalks and streets. Last year the board brought out the first set of proposed standards for public comment. They are now taking the comments and will publish the final standards after a second comment period. New standards will likely be followed for the next 25 years.

One of the proposed standards is for construction of curb ramps. Curb ramps will have a more gradual slope than the former ones. However, the ramps will be required to have a 24-inch truncated dome warning surface on the bottom. Truncated domes look like the bubble wrap used in packing material. For the last ten years we have seen these warning surfaces at the edge of platforms of new or renovated rapid stations. The proposed surface for curb ramps will have the domes in straight rows to allow for a smoother ride for wheelchairs; however, it does tell the visually impaired traveler that they are reaching the end of the ramp and the street lies immediately ahead. The warning surface is felt by the long cane and through shoes.

Even though warning surfaces in curb ramps are only proposed, they have been installed in new sidewalk construction. Cleveland Heights installed them on Lee Road near Cain Park. The installation continued in the Cedar Lee Business District, in the Coventry Road Business District, and in Severance Circle. The surface is a yellow ceramic tile that contrasts well against the concrete sidewalk.

A red brick surface was installed this past summer along Euclid Avenue in East Cleveland. The domes feel as distinct as the ones in Cleveland Heights, but the shade of red doesn’t contrast as well as the yellow.

I have seen another kind of surface installed in parts of Cleveland, along Pearl Road north of MetroHealth and along Circle Drive, near University Hospitals. This surface seems to be pressed into the cement while it’s still wet. The drawback to this method is that it provides no contrast with the surrounding sidewalk. Another problem is that if the pressing isn’t done properly the domes aren’t easily felt.

It’s good to see that these municipalities see the merit of installing these warning surfaces. Even though only a proposed standard, warning surfaces can be seen as the coming thing. If an independent traveler gets word of sidewalk or road construction in his/her community, ask your councilperson if warning surfaces are part of the plans. If they aren’t and you want them, do some personal advocacy and say you want them. I will be happy to serve as a reference if there are any questions.
