| Anchors Resign On Air: Cindy Michaels And Tony Consiglio Resigned Live On Air (Video) Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:42 AM PST  Anchors Michaels and Consiglio resign on air Image Credit: Youtube screen capture Two news anchors based on Bangor, Maine resigned on air during the end of their 6:00 pm newscast on Tuesday, November 20, 2012. According to reports, ABC 7 news anchors Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio resigned live on-air because they were both frustrated with management over journalistic practices. “And finally tonight, this will be Tony and my final show together right here on ABC 7. The last six years have been an interesting and enjoyable time for us as we have been the longest-running news team in Bangor,” Michaels said during their live broadcast as shown in the video below. “On behalf of Cindy and me, we have loved every moment bringing the news to you,” Consiglio said during their joint resignation. “Some recent developments have come to our attention, though, and departing together is the best alternative.” The two anchors did not elaborate on air what triggered their resignation. However, they revealed it on local newspaper, Bangor Daily News. “There was a constant disrespecting and belittling of staff. We both felt there was a lack of knowledge from ownership and upper management in running a newsroom to the extent that I was not allowed to structure and direct them professionally. I couldn’t do everything I wanted to as a news director. There was a regular undoing of decisions,” Michaels was quoted as saying by Bangor Daily News. “It’s a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several years and basically involved upper-management practices that we both strongly disagreed with. It’s a little complicated, but we were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general,” she added. Meanwhile, the station’s management has this to say: “Upper management is not involved in the daily production of the news, period. We’ve made great changes over the last few months and are not slowing down. Over the last 15 to 18 months, we’ve been a raging locomotive of change,” Mike Palmer, WVII vice president and general manager, told the paper.

Paul McCartney reportedly said that he celebrates Thanksgiving with a veggie roast: “We eat a veggie roast at home, so if we have traditional moments like Christmas … the roast is perfect. It’s completely vegetarian, but I can slice it, so I can do all my traditional dad things. We can do our family stuff with it, and it’s delicious, so I much prefer that to my memory of turkey,” McCartney was quoted as saying in a report.

| Black Widow In Grapes: A Venomous Black Widow Spider Found In Grapes Bought From A Supermarket Posted: 21 Nov 2012 06:41 AM PST  Image Credit: Cape Cod Times/Steve Heaslip A black widow spider has been found in grapes bought from a local supermarket. Two incidents have been reported by international news sites on Friday, November 16 and on Saturday, November 17 about a black widow that has been found in grapes. One from Yarmouth, Massachusetts and the other from Coventry, Rhode Island. Laurie Kaiser of Yarmouth said in a report that the bag of grapes had been in her refrigerator for nearly a week and she had been opening the bag, grabbing a handful of grapes off and closing the bag back up when on Wednesday she noticed a spider. “I washed each clump before we ate it. In fact, it was as I was getting ready to rinse off a clump last night (Wednesday) that I saw the spider,” said Kaiser as quoted saying in a report. Kaiser captured the spider in a plastic container and brought it back to the store where she bought the grapes to inform them. The supermarket reportedly took the spider and gave her a refund and the manager said he would inform the distributor about the incident. On the other hand, James Sylvia of Coventry, found the black widow while his wife and 1-year-old son were washing the grapes bought from Stop & Shop on Thursday morning. “Next time you wash your grapes there may be a black widow spider, so you may want to be careful. It’s not really harmful to people my age group or a little older. It’s very harmful however towards children, and my son is 1 year old, and he and my wife were washing grapes in the sink inches from the spider,” Sylvia said in a report. “They’re more common than you’d think but they’re not often encountered because of their secretive habits. They’re probably the most venomous spider in this region,” he added. The supermarket reportedly released a statement saying that, “Due to consumer concerns around pesticides, they have been used less over the years which makes the fruit more attractive to insects … and that (Stop & Shop) works closely with its suppliers to ensure proper inspection and trains its (workers) to check grapes when stocking shelves.” Black widow was said to be a venomous spider. According to Wikipedia, black widow’s “bite is dangerous because of the neurotoxin latrotoxin, which causes the condition latrodectism, both named for the genus. The female black widow has unusually large venom glands and its bite is particularly harmful to humans; however, Latrodectus bites rarely kill humans if proper medical treatment is provided.” Meanwhile, there have been 60 reported deaths in the United States since 1950 that were bitten by the black widow. |
