PLANS UNDERWAY FOR HALL OF FAME, CHUCK HEATON AWARD EVENT
The Press Club of Cleveland is planning for an in-person Hall of Fame induction ceremony and Chuck Heaton Award presentation. Anticipated date is Thursday, March 3, 2022 at a place to be determined.
Watch future issues of the Byliner for further details.
The Hall of Fame Committee is accepting nominees for the next Hall of Fame class as well as candidates for the Chuck Heaton Award.
The Hall of Fame was established in 1981 to recognize individual achievements and contributions to Cleveland media, to preserve a sense of local journalism’s past and to create a tradition and collective inspiration to those who will follow.
Press Club members can submit candidates to pressclubcle@gmail.com with Hall of Fame nominee in the subject line. Include the name, email address and phone number of the nominee as well as a brief recap of the person’s journalism career. Nominations also must include the name, email address and phone number of the nominator.
The Chuck Heaton Award was conceived in 2008 by longtime Press Club board member John Betchkal, who was a friend of Heaton. The award is bestowed upon the print, radio, online or television journalist who best exemplifies the sensitivity and humility – that along with his journalistic talent – were traits exhibited by Heaton. He had a long, distinguished career as a sports writer at The Plain Dealer. Heaton, who died in 2008, was inducted into the Press Club of Cleveland Journalism Hall of Fame in 1992.
Submit candidates for the Chuck Heaton Award to pressclubcle@gmail.com and mark Chuck Heaton Award in the subject line. Include the name, phone number and email address of the candidate, as well as brief description of why the person deserves the award.

ANNUAL TRIVIA NIGHT GOES DOWN
By Bob Rosenbaum
Competing as “The Mostly Californians,” the team of Lynn Johnson, Brian Johnson, Karen Connor and Todd Oswald eked out a one-point win on April 8 at the Press Club of Cleveland’s annual trivia night. The WKYC team took second place, followed by PD2.0 in third.
Last year, the competition was held March 5, and was the club’s last in-person event before the growing pandemic put all such activities on hold.
This year, trivia night was held online, with seven teams of four or five members. The moderator was Michelle Sustar, marketing and events manager for Crain’s New York Business, and a locally based host for Last Call Trivia.
It was Sustar’s first time running a trivia game on Zoom, and while it went smoothly, she said the main problem was coming up with questions difficult enough to separate the teams from one another. “Things were neck-and-neck until the very end,” Sustar said. “The usual questions were no match for these folks.”
After the last question, three teams were tied for first place. The tie-breaker question was how many times the word “Excellent” came up in the dialogue of the 1989 movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. The Mostly Californians came closest to the actual count: 30.
