Former ONPA POY Andy Cifranic dies at 71

date & deadlines

Andy Cifranic began his career as aPlain Dealer photographer in the 1950s,using a camera that was bigger than a bowl-ing ball to capture images on 4-by-5-inchsheet film.

Cifranic, a past Ohio NewsPhotographers Association Photographer ofthe Year, chuckled when his younger peers,fresh from their college training in photo-journalism, complained about what theyconsidered an antiquated photo lab. Afterall, he had used water from a mountainstream to rinse film while honing his craftwith the Air Force during the Korean War.

“He took great pride in being this toughguy who could get things done under primi-tive conditions,” said a former colleague,Curt Chandler. “He had a sense of crafts-manship, the technical part of photography.He wasn’t concerned with a photo beingbeautiful. He was interested in whether itwas done well. I learned a lot from him.”

The 71-year-old Middleburg Heightsresident died of complications from throatcancer at the Cleveland Clinic two daysbefore his 72nd birthday.

Cifranic, known for his welcomingsmile and unfailing amiability, won numer-ous awards over the years and took picturesof the latest fashions, newsmaking eventsand celebrities such as Katharine Hepburn.Yet the story most often told by his co-work-ers involves an automobile accident and atwo-way radio.

He was on his way back to the news-room from an assignment in East Clevelandwhen his car was hit from behind andflipped over. As luck would have it, the two-way radio, which kept him in communica-tion with the newspaper, landed in his hand.He called the photo desk and in a faint voicesaid, “I’m hanging upside down in my carby my seat belt somewhere near AviationHigh School.”

Staffers called police, who arrived atthe scene and had rescue workers takeCifranic to a hospital.

Cifranic, a North Olmsted native andLakewood High School graduate, started

working for The Plain Dealer as an officeboy in the display advertising department in1948. From 1951 to 1955, he served in theAir Force.

Upon his discharge, he returned to thenewspaper, working as a clerk in the dis-patch room until an opening for a photogra-pher became available. He took photos forthe advertising and editorial departmentsbefore retiring in 1998.

He was a woodworker and a model rail-road enthusiast. Some of his miniature rail-road layouts were featured on the cover ofModel Railroader magazine.

Cifranic also was an actor. He por-trayed the father of the lead character in arock-band movie that was filmed last yearby the daughter of Sen. George Voinovich.

Cifranic is survived by his wife of 48years, Anne, five sons, a daughter and eightgrandchildren.

According to news directorMona Alexander, “We all knowHank’s a great photographer andleader. We Also know him as afriend. What we might forget fromtime to time is Hank is also a trib-ute to our profession.”

Bill Lackey of the SpringfieldNews-Sun won an honorable mentionin the breaking news category of theEditor & Publisher Photo of the YearContest.

Lackey’s photo showed firefight-ers hopelessly battling a farm houseablaze in Plattsburg.

The fire broke out as a front of badstorms swept through the area on June5, 2002. According to Lackey, “Thephoto staff was out chasing reports offunnel clouds and tornados when I gota call from the city desk about a possi-ble house fire in Plattsburg, a smallcrossroads town on the border betweenClark and Madison Counties.”

“The photo was the first one I tookas I got out of my car. The farm housewas standing in the middle of a fieldand was fully engulfed and the scenealmost looked unreal as the firefighters,who seemed dwarfed by the size of thefire, stood by helplessly.”

Digital editions debut Extreme pictures basis for traffic convictionSeveral Ohio papers have rolled out dig-

ital editions of their publications as publish-ers continue to look for ways to raise rev-enue from web site ventures. The trend isgrowing nationwide.

The latest newspapers to announceplans for electronic replicas of their printeditions are The Columbus Dispatch, TheVirginian-Pilot and the American PressofLake Charles, La. All are using technologyfrom Olive Software Inc. of Denver.

The Columbus edition will be availablefree to print Dispatch subscribers or to Web-only subscribers at $4.95 per month.

Since October 1 non subscribers of TheColumbus Dispatch now must pay a month-ly fee of $4.95 to access the paper’s web site.

The Dispatch joins a handful of papersacross the country who have begun to chargefor web access. The Wall Street Journalcharges $39 a year to print subscribers whowant to access its web site and $79 a year tononsubscribers.

The Blade has launched an e-editionusing NewsStand Inc.'s proprietary software,which lets subscribers download exact repli-cas of the print newspaper to their personalcomputers.

Director of Circulation Michael Gaithersaid the e-edition will allow the Blade toreach "snowbirds," retirees who migratesouth annually for the winter.

Single copies may be purchased for 50cents or $1.50 on Sunday. Weekly subscrip-tions run at $2.75 or $1.75 for Saturday andSunday only.

In September the Akron Beacon Journallaunched it’s electronic edition. It's priced at$8.95 a month, though a bundled online-and-print fee is in the works.

The digital edition uses the nearly ubiq-uitous Adobe Acrobat for file conversion, aswell as BJI's proprietary software.

Among the bells and whistles are extraphotos that don't appear in the print edition,simplified searching for classified ads, ande-mail links to reporters accessible by click-ing on their bylines.

The Akron Beacon Journal had earliertried CD-ROM edition which caught peo-ple's attention, but turned out to be financial-ly impractical on a daily basis.

A Tallmadge man wasconvicted of 10 traffic cita-tions in Akron MunicipalCourt based strictly on astory and accompanyingphotographs published inthe Akron Beacon Journalfor a story on so-calledextreme motorcyclist.

Motorcyclist SeanCripple Cripple, 28, wasfined $1,000 and lost hismotorcycle endorsementand driver's license for 18months. He was convictedof three counts each ofreckless operation, failureto maintain reasonablecontrol and improper rid-ing and one count of fail-ure to display a licenseplate.

Akron Beacon Journalphotographer Ken Loveand reporter Andrea Miskowere forced to testifyagainst Cripple, despiteattempts by newspaperattorneys to seek journalis-tic privilege protection from AkronMunicipal Court Judge Lynne Callahan.

Akron police began investigatingCripple after photos of him performing stuntsappeared in the July 14 Beacon Journal.

Cripple had been contacted by a reporterabout stunt motorcycling. He told a reporterhe and his friends cycled often. He agreed tocall the newspaper when he and his friendswere going riding. A reporter and photogra-pher then met the cyclists and followed them.

Love subsequently shot Cripple lyingbackward on his motorcycle, arms and legsextended, while his bike traveled along acrowded state Route 8.

The accompanying story gave detailsabout extreme motorcyclist and complaintsfrom other drivers about the group's some-times unsafe driving tendencies.

The story also quoted police officersfrom around the area saying they couldn'tcatch the extreme cyclists. Akron ProsecutorDoug Powley said the news story left the citywith no choice but to prosecute Cripple.

“The state simply could not explain tothe public why a prosecution would not occurgiven the obvious violations that were com-mitted by Mr. Cripple and so well publicizedin the newspaper,”' Powley said.

“Mr. Cripple wanted to be front pagenews. Now, he has to face the consequencesfor his arrogance and flaunting of the law.”

Callahan did allow the sentence to bepostponed, pending Cripple's appeal.

If or when the sentence is imposed,Cripple will not have work driving privileges.Callahan reminded Cripple and his attorneythat she warned them she would not grant theprivileges after he rejected a plea offer priorto trial.

Prosecutors said Cripple, who works as atelephone and computer installer, was offereda plea bargain in which he would have beenfined $400 and retained his driver's license.

Under the plea, he would not have beenallowed to drive a motorcycle for a year.Instead, Cripple took his case to trial.
