"The amazing thing is the camera sees right through you. It's almost like a lie de- tector. I don't know if it's the animation or I feel like I'm talking to people than at them, but I think people feel like they know me. They come up and they're real friendly and they do the hands." He said that he's trying to tone it down. After watching a recent program about or- chestra conductor Leonard Bernstein, Klitenic remarked, "I use my hands more than he does. So I started looking at my tapes and they (hands) were too much in my face and I'm trying to bring my hands down here," he says, gesturing toward his chest. "I think the hands have really calmed down. I don't want them to be intrusive. I think at one time it was." Another unusual aspect to his style is the way he pre- sents the sports. Usually they are peppered with his own on-the-spot-created analogies or Stu's words of wisdom. On a recent sportscast, Klitenic referred this way to a Detroit Lions game filled'with penal- ties: "There were more flags in this game than you see on some road construction sites." And on a recent basketball player who jumped for a slam dunk and fell to the floor on his back, Klitenic quipped: "Flying can be very danger- ous, especially without a plane." But that's what makes Klitenic so unusual and so entertaining, according to fel- low Channel 7 newsman Rich Fisher. "Nobody in town does what he does. He adds color to it (sports), makes it in- teresting and adds humor. He looks at sports for what sports can be — fun." Channel 2 newsman Murray Feldman, who worked three years with Klitenic, concurs. His style is pretty unique, Feldman says, "because he doesn't write it the way you'd normally write it. He'd tell you the story the way he'd tell you on the bus." Klitenic apparently enjoys his work and speaks about it as animatedly as he reports Sportscaster Stu Klitenic talks about his broadcasting experiences. the results of last night's hockey game. "The great thing about working in a market the size of Detroit is you meet so many great indi- viduals. Every day it seems there's an exciting inter- view." He once had a hard time on camera with a sports report. He tried to interview Phil Bradley of the Seattle Marin- ers, but found that getting him to talk was nearly 'im- possible because he gave three-word answers to all of Klitenic's questions. Frus- trated, Klitenic said he re- members telling himself "I should've gone and been a doctor." Klitenic is no stranger to sports. The 6'5" former guard was named All American in high school in basketball and was a four-year basketball letterman in college. He com- peted in 1977 in the Mac- cabiah Games in Israel at which he won a gold medal. The Silver Spring, Md., na- tive earned bachelor's and master's degrees in jour- nalism at the University of South Carolina. Prior to coming to Detroit in 1982, Klitenic was sports anchor at WBNS in Colum- bus, Ohio, for one year. Be- fore that, he served in the same capacity at WWBT in Richmond, Va. In college, Klitenic consid- ered taking up basketball as a career, but "reality sets in and you go in a different di- rection," he said. After play- ing in Israel, a lot of scouts offered him opportunities to play in Italy, Spain and Is- DINNER THEATRE AT HYATT REGENCY D DEARBORN JIMMY LAUNCE PROductions, Inc. present THE ODD COUPLE By: Neil Simon KOW KOW INN Starring: jimmy Iaunce and Mike Evans • Famous Chop Suey • Cantonese Food • Steaks • Chops • Sea Food OPEN Mon.-Sat. 11 a.m.-12:30 a.m..

But he chose graduate:- school over basketball be- cause he said he felt he had more of a future pursuing an education. His father, a judge, had a lot to do with his decision. "My dad always said you can't get too much education.- So I did graduate school and it's worked out." Klitenic attributes his success to his parents. "It makes such a dif- ference to have parents who are fully behind you no mat- ter what I did, sports or broadcasting, they were al-' ways behind me." His friends say that Klitenic doesn't have the look-at-me ego that some media personalities are repu- ted to have. Instead, they view him as more of a reg- ._ ular guy. Fisher and —\ Feldman said Klitenic is really quite shy. According to -\ Feldman, Klitenic may com- mand attention because of his height. Clapper adds that he's not a publicity hound, and wouldn't think twice about helping out a friend. During a photo session, he - pleaded with the photo- grapher not to get profile shots. "My nose is bigger than most markets," he joked. When it comes to the Jewish community, Klitenic feels a strong affiliation. He - usually goes home for the High Holidays, and when a Jewish group asks him to be a guest speaker he accepts the invitation readily and graciously. "I will never, ever, ever, ever turn them down." (Klitenic will address - the cocktail reception of the New Leadership division of State of Israel Bonds at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the WWJ/ WJOI studios in Southfield.) He said his Jewishness has never helped nor hindered him in the job market, and quipped that when he came to Detroit five of the eight on-air sportscasters were Jewish: Don Shane, Eli Zaret, Mark Barash, Al Ackerman and himself. "It was the Inva- tion of the Jewish Sportscas- ter — the movie — we were sending it to (movie director Steven) Spielberg and it was going to be special effects and everything." A downtown resident, Klitenic is often seen at the hot night spots. In his spare-\ time he plays basketball and racquetball. Never married, Klitenic says he enjoys his singlehood. His ultimate goal is to be the best. "I always say I want to become an institution be- fore I need one. This business can drive you crazy. I want to become the best. Everyone in this business wants to be- come the best, but it's so sub- jective." The key to being the best he says lies in reaching one's potential. "Potential is nothing unless you reach it. If you reach it, everything will fall into place." ❑
