A Multitude of Talents

By Annmarie Dean

We have a lot of talented people who work here at WNED. Not only do they have outstanding skills that are utilized within their departments, but they have talents that shine outside out the workplace as well. Last fall, we had our first-ever staff art show, Artrageous. Here’s a sampling of our impressive artistic staff, which includes a variety of artistic mediums like painting, drawing, photography and sculpture.

Service with a Smile: Hats Off to Administrative Pros

By Suzanne Kashuba

“Ghostbusters. Whaddya want?!”
-- Receptionist Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts) in “Ghostbusters”

From “Janine” in “Ghostbusters” to “Doralee” in “9 to 5” to “Mrs. Wiggins” on “The Carol Burnett Show,” they’ve been portrayed as flighty, no-nonsense, tight-skirted, overworked and valiantly empowered. But the reality is neither “all of the above” nor “something entirely different.”

I know from experience. I’ve been at that desk before – handling phones, files, ornery customers  and a myriad of other tasks as a “support person,” a “secretary,” an “administrative assistant.”

Fun + Creativity = “Artrageous!”

It’s Artrageous!

As an avid amateur photographer, I joined with 10 of my colleagues at WNED (including our CEO, Don Boswell) to show off a few original works of art in our own Horizons Gallery space.
