Mary Beth's BIO
Mary Beth Zolik has been part of morning radio in Toledo for over 25 years. In the fall of 2005, she was inducted into the Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame, along with her now happily retired partner, Jack Mitchell. And now Mary Beth looks forward to many more years of morning radio fun with Rick Woodell!
Although Mary Beth grew up in Detroit, it is Toledo that feels like home, especially since she and her husband, Terry, are raising their family here. Their children, Tara, Derek and Cullin were all born here and are all in school now. With grade school, high school and college tuitions all looming, it's no wonder Mary Beth looks forward to many more years working on 101.5 the River. "Miles to go before I sleep!"When not transporting her busy children hither and yon, Mary Beth enjoys napping, a good long walk, reading anything and everything and playing with the family dogs...oh, and more napping.
"Getting up at 4am is the hardest part of what I do. But I love what I do and feel so blessed. My husband says the only person who has a better job than mine is the woman who reads the lottery balls on TV!"
Rick's BIO
Rick Woodell was born and raised in Macon, Georgia, attended the community college there and eventually the University of Georgia before embarking on a 38 year broadcasting career. Rick has worked in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas and been a part of the programming of radio stations in Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado and California.Before moving to Toledo, Rick was a highly rated morning show host in Greenville, South Carolina for 15 years and was co-host of "Talk of the Town," a 30 minute television travel show for Charter Communications that covered Georgia, North and South Carolina. Rick and his wife Carla moved to Toledo so he could rekindle his love for morning radio.
Rick and Carla have 4 "kids." One is Siamese...Cyan, 6 pounds of furry fury, Grayson, a loveable Gray stray from the Humane society, Frank a mini Dachshund rescue and the latest addition, Bill Blitzen, a rescued Greyhound.. Rick's son, Alex, graduated college in South Carolina and is continuing his education at the Medical College of South Carolina-Charleston.
Rick's continued love for charity work and civic pride keeps him active in the community.
"We've been here for over 7 years now. As Carla and I continue to travel the area, we're amazed at the eagerness of people to welcome us Southerners. We feel like actual Mid- westerners now! We really feel at home."

Bridge Collapse In Washington State
The I-5 Bridge in Washington State collapsed yesterday. Three cars were submerged. Three drivers injured... no deaths, thankfully. Reminds me of the freeway bridge collapse in the Twin Cities a few years ago. Scary.
The bridge, about 60 miles outside Seattle, collapsed on Thursday evening, sending at least two vehicles into the waters of the Skagit River. All three people in those vehicles were rescued, but suffered minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital.
Investigators believe the collapse was caused by a truck with an over-sized load hitting the bridge. That caused about 150 yards of the Interstate 5 bridge to drop 120-feet into the water, taking a car, a truck and a travel trailer with it.
On source said of the drop, "It's a hell of a ride."
Although nobody was believed to be missing, a dive team was performing one final sweep of the water last night to make sure.
The bridge was built in 1955 and has a sufficiency rating of 57.4 out of 100 in federal records.
