Decades before Spotify, Pandora, and even satellite radio, terrestrial (land-based) AM and FM radio reigned supreme. Many listeners, including Utica resident Ron Robinson, idolized the disc jockeys just as much as the artists they played.

Robinson, 51, is working on a documentary film entitled Radio Dayz The Movie, which focuses on the history of radio, including the early days of Detroit radio. (The film) tells the story of radio through the people who worked in radio, he said.

Robinson interviewed several well-known radio personalities such as Paul W. Smith, Dick Purtain, Fred Jacobs, Dick Kernen, and more for the film. Robinson, who worked for WJR for 20 years before starting his own production company, has several connections in the industry. He started interviewing for the documentary in 2013.

Most people think of radio, they think of New York, California, and Chicago, and rightfully so. But, Detroit has been an important and ground-breaking city for the medium of radio, Robinson said.

The documentary is a chronological look at the history of radio, starting with the first radio stations. It also takes aim at the first radio celebrity, Fr. Charles Coughlin. The Detroit-area priest took to the airways in the 1920s and eventually garnered an audience of 30 million to his weekly radio show. Coughlin would later become a polarizing figure as World War II approached. Hes on the wrong side of history, if you will, Robinson said.

Other notable glimpses into radios history are also featured in the film, including President Franklin D. Roosevelts Fireside Chats and the healing effect these popular radio segments would have on a nation crippled by The Great Depression and the war.

Then I go and talk about the 1940s and 1950s and what Elvis and the Beatles mean to radio. Theres a part about how radio changed when TV became the mainstay in everybodys house, Robinson said.

Robinsons podcast Radio Dayz! delves into the history of radio as well and has served as a promotional piece for the documentary. What we do is let listeners in on what happened behind the scenes in radio, he said. Most people know their (radio personalities) voices, but not their story.

The documentary has served as a labor of love for Robinson. And although it is not yet complete, he plans to wrap up the project soon. He had hoped to finish in time for WWJs 100th anniversary but was unable to interview key radio personalities due to COVID-19 restrictions.

He said it is important to preserve radios history for future generations, especially today when few people even own a radio. There are so many stories people dont know and I want to share that with people because I think they will be better off and more enriched and appreciate where this country has been, he said.

When the film is complete, possibly later this year, Robinson hopes to have it available to stream.

This is Robinsons fourth documentary film. He also produced It Takes a Village, Networking, Your Business The Movie, and If You Build It, They Will Come. The later film focuses on the development of Jimmy Johns Field in Utica.

In addition to making documentary films, Robinson is a photographer and aerial/drone media pilot. His production company, Ron Robinson Studios, also offers video marketing services for businesses.

The truth is out there at the 40th annual Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival.

In a handful of outdoor screenings and hundreds of online ones, the festival shows dozens of films from 70 countries.

The May 13-23 event boasts thrillers, comedies and experimental efforts, but many of the best I've screened in advance are documentaries. The Holocaust-themed "Love It Was Not" and music docs "The Sparks Brothers" and "Karen Dalton: In My Own Time" find inventive ways to explore their very different subjects. Even the more traditional "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It," made for PBS' "American Masters" series, uses animation to stretch the traditional bounds of nonfiction filmmaking.

This year's festival is the first without its co-founder, Twin Cities film icon Al Milgrom, who died in December. The event pays tribute to him in the form of an annual Milgrom series, this year spotlighting movies made by his Oscar-nominated pal Agnieszka Holland, who'll also appear in a live Zoom call. She's one of several top filmmakers in the fest, which includes Germany's Christian Petzold, an MSPIFF regular whose fairy tale-derived latest is called "Undine," and France's Franois Ozon, whose "Summer of '85" is a nostalgic love story.

Closer to home, MSPIFF includes several made-in-Minnesota projects, starting with "The Claw." Based on a play that premiered at St. Paul's History Theatre in 2007, "The Claw" is Philip Harder's portrait of pro wrestler Baron von Raschke (aka Jim Raschke), largely seen through the eyes of his adoring kids.

Another Minnesota icon, explorer Will Steger, is featured in "After Antarctica." It's a look back at Steger's 1989 trip across the continent. Short film "Ignited States," meanwhile, examines the year of activism that has followed in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

That's just scratching the surface. Your best bet is to explore the festival's site and plunge in. Here are thoughts on the titles I've seen, beginning with my favorite:

"Love It Was Not" Historical documentaries often lack footage of the time they're trying to recapture. Writer/director Maya Sarfaty's ingenious solution is to cut up still images as if they're paper dolls and manipulate them into different settings and actions. The technique gives the film an elegiac, handmade quality that amplifies the reminiscences of elderly Auschwitz survivors who recall a Slovakian Jewish woman's shocking relationship with her SS captor. He's also featured and while he says it was love, she describes something else.

"My Donkey, My Lover and I" Fans of the French comedy series "Call My Agent!" will recognize irresistible Laure Calamy as the lovelorn assistant on that Netflix show. She's even more irresistible here as a quirky teacher whose smug, married lover cancels their vacation because he's taking a mountain hiking trip with his family. She follows, inexpertly spying on her unworthy lover while trying to wrangle the donkey she accidentally hired to accompany her on the hike. The ass' name is Vladimir. The donkey's name is Patrick.

"Karen Dalton: In My Own Time" "Whether you like it or not, you have to enter her world, and it's a despairing world," says Nick Cave near the start of a biographical documentary that, indeed, describes quite a bit of sadness. Dalton was a wildly original folkie Bob Dylan called "my favorite singer," but her personal life was a nightmare. Featuring tons of well-identified music, the compassionate doc does exactly what you'd hope it would. I'd never heard of Dalton but, after seeing the film, I want to listen to every note she ever recorded.

"The Whaler Boy" The Russian drama, a kind of brutal fairy tale, is endlessly surprising. Two teenage boys grow up on the Bering Strait. One longs to go to America, with Alaska a tantalizing 70 miles away. The other has a different so-near-yet-so-far dream. He has fallen in love on an internet porn site. The Venice Film Festival prize winner opens like a humdrum character study but morphs into a stirring story of immigration, compassion and home.

"Ane Is Missing" Borrowing some of the observational style of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne ("Two Days, One Night"), the Spanish drama tracks the fraught relationship of security guard Lide, who works for a company building a train route, and daughter Ane, who protests against the train. The politics are compelling but what drives the movie is the role-switching between a principled teenager and her impulsive mom, who gave birth to her daughter before she knew how to be an adult.

"The Sparks Brothers" Director Edgar Wright ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") geeks out in a love letter to the cult band, still going strong in its fifth, hit-free decade. It's an inventive doc even the interviews are cleverly photographed and brothers Ron and Russell Mael clearly still get a bang out of each other. There's lots of period footage alongside contemporary interviews that reveal the band's huge influence on many top pop acts.

"Dream Horse" It's such a conventional movie that you can name half a dozen others where a community in Great Britain unites behind an inspiring cause ("Waking Ned Devine," "The Full Monty"). But darned if it doesn't work again. Toni Collette plays a hardworking, impoverished woman in picturesque Wales who decides to breed a racehorse, which she does with the help of her neighbors and results in many twists. All of it might not seem credible except it really happened.

"Hotel Coppelia" "This movie is for the unsung women who resisted the foreign invasion," reads the dedication of this handsome drama. It's set in a Dominican Republic brothel, whose residents/employees are a bright, varied bunch. Their home is a surreal oasis from the civil war ripping apart their country until soldiers first Dominicans, then Americans bust in.

"Mickey on the Road" The story is familiar a road trip leads two young women to surprising revelations. But when you're as assured a visual stylist as Taiwanese writer/director Mian-Mian Lu, who cares? On a guess, she's a fan of Wong Kar-wai's "Chungking Express" and its candy-colored, neon-lit images. Lu's trippy visuals peak in a scene backdropped by a gilt-and-bejeweled dragon headboard, in front of which appears pink-haired Gin Gin. She stands behind a window that has streams of golden syrup drizzling down, prompting her to begin licking all of it up.

"The Claw" Wrestling legend Baron von Raschke is the subject of a loving documentary, directed by Philip Harder and produced by the grappler's son Karl. Sweet recollections from the producer and sister Heidi (full disclosure both are former co-workers) paint a dual portrait of the brash, "German"-accented Baron von Raschke in the ring and tender, supportive, Nebraska-native Jim Raschke at home.

"Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It" The portrait of the EGOT-winner inspires by showing how often she has reinvented her career to come back from the brink of tragedies, including a suicide attempt after Marlon Brando dumped her. It's standard soul-baring but Moreno is unusually candid, especially when she revisits lows such as being raped by her agent and not firing him because "I thought so little of myself."

"Hollywood Fringe" The latest from former Minnesotans Wyatt McDill and Megan Huber turns on an interesting idea. The art and life of Los Angeles actors Travis (Justin Kirk) and Samantha (Jennifer Prediger) are so intertwined that we can't always tell if we're watching their home life or a fringe festival play inspired by it. The plot occasionally is too "Inside Hollywood" but most of the jokes land.

"Devil's Pie: D'Angelo" The story of the notoriously sexy singer, who virtually disappeared for 14 years, should be more interesting than it is in this slow-moving, unrevealing documentary. Long story short: The product of a churchgoing clan was not comfortable with his image and he did way too many drugs.

Living most of my life in the Kings Creek area, I cant even guess how many times Ive driven by the baseball fields on Kings Creek Road in Weirton. During the warmer weather, its common to see someone on a tractor cutting the grass on the ballfields or dragging the infields. For so many years, that person was either Joe Tunno or Tim Welch, both of whom have spent countless hours of their lives quietly and unassumingly serving the youth of Weirton through the Weirton Baseball Association.

After hearing a few weeks ago about Welchs death, one of my first thoughts was that I never stopped just to tell Tim thank you for taking care of the fields. I took it for granted that Tim would do what so many of the rest of us cant or choose not to do. Tim never wanted anything in return for the thousands of hours he volunteered at the ballfields. Im not even sure if being thanked was important to him. I think not otherwise, he wouldnt have done so much for the kids in exchange for the little thanks he likely got. Tim began coaching my brother Toms Babe Ruth team in 1980 and during the next 30 years continued his unwavering service to the Weirton Baseball Association.

Tims gift of his time and talents didnt just benefit the WBA he also was involved for even more years with the Weirton Termite Basketball Association at the Millsop Community Center (along with Ron Greer, another gentleman whose volunteerism knew no bounds.)

For years, these two men kept the league together, coaching, getting sponsors, handling the draft, scheduling games, training young referees and dealing with emotional parents, among other things. It would not be uncommon for Tim to grab a whistle and officiate games when young referees failed to show up or were busy with another game.

Greer still is running the league after 50 years of service I cant imagine how many pounds of fish Ron has cooked while also volunteering at the local Lenten fish fries during the years or how many hours he has served the Weirton Jaycees. Among other causes, Ron also has been serving our special needs citizens as a board member and officer at the Hancock County Sheltered Workshop for many years.

I will make it a priority to reach out to Greer and Tunno and thank them for the good they do for the community. I could kick myself in the butt for not taking the time to thank Welch he was a quiet, kind, humble and unassuming man who, nevertheless, deserved my thanks.

We have been blessed in Weirton with individuals who have given their time and talents for the benefit of the youth in our community. As a youngster, I had the honor of playing basketball at St. Joseph for Jim Klash, who coached at the school for more than 30 years. I didnt know until after he passed away that Klash was a parishioner of St. Pauls, St. Joes rival in youth basketball back in the day. Klash also was one of the founding members of the Weirton Baseball Association Complex. He gave me one of my first jobs as an umpire. I hope the Weirton community and St. Joes never forget them.

I know Im forgetting or have failed to mention many men and women who have volunteered countless hours in our community during the years. I intend no disrespect. You know who they are. They were our coaches, league presidents and concession stand workers they opened, cleaned and closed the gyms where your kids and mine played ball, or they worked on the ballfields after a heavy Saturday morning rain so your kids could play their baseball game.

The next time you see them, go and tell them thanks for all they do or what they have done during the years before that opportunity passes you by. I certainly will. I missed that opportunity with Tim Welch and I regret my omission.

Weirton and its children are so very lucky to have such committed and generous volunteers, like Tim Welch, and we will miss them dearly and their selfless contributions to our community.

Thank you, Tim.

(McCune is a resident of Weirton. Tim Welch died April 18 at the age of 61.)

Tyler Thompson dominated Saturday nights 50-lap supermodified feature at the Oswego Speedway. But coming off the fourth turn on the final lap, his car ran out of fuel, allowing teammate Max McLaughlin to nip him at the checkered flag by a car length for his first-ever supermodified feature win.

On the cool down lap after his $2,000 triumph, McLaughlins super also ran out of fuel as he coasted into victory lane. The Jason Simmons Racing team cars made up the front row for the main event. McLaughlin led the first 10 laps before Thompson motored around him and went out to a comfortable lead.

Team owner Jason Simmons was especially pleased after the show.

This was a great night for the entire team, said the owner. We had the two fastest cars at the track and much of the credit goes to crew my chief David OConnor and his guys. Last week Tyler blew a motor and Max didnt get much track time and it was great seeing those two cars out front.

McLaughlin is currently one of the most versatile drivers in short-track racing. So far this season, this 21-year-old Mooresville, North Carolina, racer has piloted dirt modifieds, asphalt mods, ARCA late models, USAC midgets and NASCAR trucks.

But after his second night in a super and his first feature win, McLaughlin is impressed with his newest open-wheel machine.

These are the fastest cars Ive ever driven, said McLaughlin.

Dave Shullick Jr. battled up through the pack and closed in on the leaders in the final laps, but the Ohio speedster had to settle for third. Third-generation racer Brandon Bellinger was fourth, with Jeff Abold, Dave Danzer, Otto Sitterly, Dan Connors, Joe Gosek and Lou Levea Jr. making up the top 10 finishers.

Nick Kinney was making just his second start in a 350 super Saturday, but he led from start to finish to pick up a $900 check. John Tesoriero, Barry Kingsley, Kyle Perry and Vern LaFave followed.

Brad and Bryan Haynes became the first brothers to finish first and second in an Oswego feature in the 30-lap small-block super finale. Cameron Rowe and Brian Sobus were third and fourth.

Several serious spills marred Oswegos second show of the year. Ryan Locke and Mike Bruce came out uninjured, but their cars were heavily damaged.

TIM SEARS SCORES SECOND FULTON 358 MODIFIED VICTORY

In Saturday nights 358 modified feature at the Fulton Speedway, Tim Sears rolled into victory lane for the second time this season. Larry Wight chased Sears to the checkers, with Todd Root, Pat Ward and Ron Davis III filling out the top five.

The large field of crate sportsmen needed two feature races, with Josh Livingston and Richard Murtaugh each picking up a victory. Brian Knowles took late model honors, with Paul DeRuyter winning the novice sportsman finale.

MATT SHEPPARD WINS 58TH SEASON OPENER AT LAND OF LEGENDS

Matt Sheppard broke out of a mini-slump by winning the 58th season opener Saturday night at the Land of Legends Speedway. It was his fourth win of the 2021 season and his 82nd career triumph at this half-mile Canandaigua oval.

Erick Rudolph was second, followed by Justin Haers and Peter Britten.

STEWART FRIESEN WINS 71ST CAREER FONDA FEATURE

Stewart Friesen continues to rack up feature wins on the Upstate New York dirt modified circuit. On Saturday night, the Sprakers driver won at Fonda Speedway for his 12th feature win in 20 outings for his Halmar Racing team.

It was his 71st career win on this half-mile, fairgrounds oval.

OTHER WINNERS

Lebanon Valley: L.J. Lombardo, Marc Johnson and Alden Dwyer were the three top big-block modifieds over the line Saturday night at the Lebanon Valley Speedway.

Whelen Modified Tour: Doug Coby took the lead on lap 176 and went on to win the 200-lap Whelen Modified Tour race at the quarter-mile Riverhead (Long Island) Speedway.

Thunder Mountain: Eric Leet won Saturdays modified main event at the Thunder Mountain Speedway, and Rusty Smith was the 358 modified victor.

MSA Supers: The Midwest Supermodified Association opened its 2021 season Saturday night at the Lorain County (Ohio) Speedway. Trent Stephens came away with the feature win, with Bobby Santos III, Talon Stephens, Rich Reid and Moe Lilje following.

Outlaws at the Grove: Aaron Reutzel picked up a nice $15,000 check for winning Saturday nights 30-lap World of Outlaws Sprint Tour feature at the Williams Grove (Pennsylvania) Speedway. Giovanni Scalzi and Lance Dewease were second and third.
