After the parade, Todd Lippold, host of Crossroads and R.O.A.R, interviewed parade goers. "Have you ever been on the radio before?" he asks. Well, they have now! The Astoria Regatta celebrated its 125th anniversary this year! The Parade is a Regatta signature event, and CCR is happy to be part of the tradition.

Big thanks to volunteers Todd, Roger Basset, Dave Nelson and Charlene Larsen for making this year's broadcast happen. We couldn't do it without you.

ello friends and listeners.

As of writing this, our next membership drive is coming up in September. If you are already a member, thank you! Perhaps this is the year that you can be an advocate and ambassador for the station? Do you have friends or family in the area that aren’t members yet? Put in a good word for us!

Check out Janet’s article for more ways to support CCR.

who is the community in coast community radio?

One thing I have been wondering lately is, “What’s the most important role of Coast Community Radio?” If there was one thing you would like to hear more of on KMUN, what would it be?

An appropriate follow-up question is, “Who is the “Community” in Coast Community Radio, and how well do we serve that entire community”? To me, everyone that lives in our listening area is the community. This includes three Northwest Oregon counties and two Southwest Washington counties. As I ask myself these questions, it occurs to me that we do a disservice when we alienate people within our community. I don’t want to build fences between me and my neighbors, and I don’t want to only talk to people that agree with my point of view. a bridge and a river

As I help steer the good ship KMUN, I hope that it can continue to be a source of quality information and news, music FALL 2019 THE CURRENT

programs and public affairs. And I hope that it can be a place for productive interactions, rather than a place for name-calling or “preaching to the choir”.

Community radio should be a unifying force, not a dividing force. The Coast Community Radio that I want to help foster is one that reflects my metaphor of a bridge and a river. A bridge connects people and places. A river provides habitat and sustenance. You may have heard about the “Radio for Good” campaign to overhaul the station’s broadcast equipment. I didn’t call our capital campaign Radio for Good, just because I want the station to be around forever, rather because I want CCR to be a source of good in the community. I want it to be a stable and strong bridge that brings us together and fosters connections where none existed before, and I want it to be a source of good for the community. wrapping up a great year and looking forward to the next

So that’s my pie-in-the-sky bit for this issue, now here is the nitty gritty: Our fiscal year ends on September 30th, and here are a here are some station goals for the coming 2019-2020 fiscal year.

• Year Two of the Radio for Good campaign to overhaul all broadcast equipment • Continue to build a contingency savings account • Continue to build endowment/ investment account

• Better pay for employees to achieve living wage and employee retention • Finish the Cannon Beach translator project • Expand local news coverage of the cities and counties we serve, as well as the goings on at state level in Oregon and Washington • Advocacy for local non-profit and service organizations • Reinforced emergency information role • Increased memberships the big picture

Those are some of our short term goals for the station. As for the long-term, I would like to see CCR continue to be the best example of what community radio is and can be. When I came into the position of managing the station almost 2 years ago, KMUN was already the best community radio station in the country, but there is no reason to stop there! We can always grow, improve and serve better. And we need you to do it.

So, as always, thank you for listening, and thank you for supporting Coast Community Radio.

Just what is Community Radio, and why should I support it?

FALL 2019 THE CURRENT

W

ith 91% of americans over the age of 12 tuning in every week,

radio is still a pervasive medium in this country. It remains one of the most efficient and effective ways to communicate to a community, with extremely few listeners facing barriers that prevent them from receiving broadcast signals.

dedicated to the arts, or through live interviews that aren’t limited to sound-bites, we emphasize direct communication to our audience.

a few examples of what coast community radio provides: • Local arts and music are highlighted in a dynamic fashion.

Community radio provides an open microphone for people from communities that are underserved by other broadcast media.

Community stations don’t chase the largest audience or the most affluent demographics. Instead we seek to serve the entire community and people who may get left out of that equation.

• Learning opportunities for students and residents to pick up skills that can be applied to future employment, new careers and the community at large.

Hearing people who share your experience and come from your community on the radio is validating, no matter who you are. But it’s even more powerful when these voices and experiences are otherwise rarely heard, helping to strengthen ties and build awareness of common values, challenges and solutions.

• Emergency services, which mean you get alerts, severe weather warnings and other critical information when you need it most.

Coast Community Radio is important for the region’s culture, arts, music and conversation.

Whether this is in the form of weekly programs

• And remember - virtually all community radio stations depend on listener donations to stay on the air.

• A spotlight on city governance and civic life that gives residents a chance to understand their area in richer and more informed ways.

• Something to be proud of – local volunteers bringing their love of the region to life with fun programming and thoughtful discussions.

By Dylan Hauser-Schalk and Gabe White

W

e’re pretty much starstruck about doing radio, and our time here has made it into, what

could possibly be, a lifelong passion. And with that, many aspects of our lives have changed, some more noticeable than others. Perhaps the biggest example is our experience listening to music.

A casual sit down with some of our favorite songs may no longer be possible, because there’s always something in the back of the mind wondering where it could go in a set, and when we could put it over the air.

Well, in terms of many of our favorite pieces, they’ve already been played, and we’re not looking to retread old ground. It’s hard to justify re-playing material when there’s so much to be discovered. In the vast expanse of music, we’ve listened to so little, and perhaps it will always be like that. The point where we say “That’s it, we’ve heard everything there is to hear,” isn’t going to happen. Similarly to millionaires, there’s a threshold in which more money no longer makes someone happy, and yet, the drive for more is still there. That may be how music is. Never being content, and always waiting attentively for the next piece that just blows us away.

Whether it’s music playing on the overhead speakers at the grocery store, or someone singing on the side of the road, it is all fair game. So, yes, the casual experience of it is no more, but never before has music been so active, so engaging.

“Up Next!” is every 2nd calendar Sunday of the month from 7:00pm to 8:00pm We would like to thank Graham and Elizabeth for giving us the opportunity that led to where we are now, and we’d also like to thank Susan for letting us write this article.

YOUTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE

By Astronemis Ray

Climate change is defined as “a change in global or regional climate patterns.” Several months ago, I didn’t know much about climate change. Over time, I became very fascinated with learning more. I created this news segment to raise awareness to youth but also give the community a platform to express their feelings on climate change.

I spent an afternoon interviewing people at the Sunday Market about climate change. To start, I asked them if they knew what climate change was and how they would describe it. About half knew what climate change was. The other half was still unsure.

In the interviews, I asked about ways we could help prevent climate change from continuing. Some of the responses were, “We can begin the process of self-preservation by slowing it down, though it would cause radical changes to our manner of life,” commented a sixteen-year-old. “I feel like we could change. Maybe we’ll start using more fabric bags, and just limit more of what we are using to a minimum. But it’s gonna be hard,” replied a thirteen-year-old speaking on climate change.

“We can recycle and throw all our trash away and not just litter,” advised a fifteen-year-old.

A classmate of mine attended a climate change camp; she also did a presentation to 7th graders. In an interview done with her, she expressed that “The main objective when I was teaching about climate change was teaching about the carbon cycle and the imbalance in the carbon cycle.” When asked about how the 7th graders reacted to this content, she responded: “A lot of them seemed interested in it, most overall enjoyed it.”

My main goal of creating this news segment was to give youth and young adults an opportunity to speak about climate change. Maybe even inspire community members to take action or at least want to learn more. The most important thing I wanted to get across is that when it comes to protecting the environment, you make a difference.

A primer of nautical terms

by Joanne Rideout

T

he next time you go aboard a friend’s boat for a jaunt out on the water, it might be fun to

impress them with your maritime know-how by referring to parts of the boat by their nautical names.

Boats and ships have different terms for things that we also have on land. Mariners respect people who take the time to understand the difference and refer to things in the proper way. They also tend to roll their eyes at people who don’t bother to understand that life at sea and life on the water are different worlds, to the point where the maritime realm has its own jargon that is used actively by mariners, whether they be recreational or commercial.

It’s these fine turns of phrase, some of which date back to ancient times, that quickly sort out the “landlubbers” from the sailors. And they’re easy to learn.

On land we refer to where things are, say in our cars, with terms like, it’s in the

“back,” or it’s in the “front” or it’s “left” or it’s “right.” In our homes we say “upstairs” and “downstairs.”

On a boat, where people are often cooperating to get things done, left and right can be confusing, because such directions are often in the eye of the beholder. For instance, if you and I are standing facing one another, our “lefts” are on opposite sides from one another.

On a boat, the standard reference point is from the perspective of a person who is standing in the center of the vessel looking towards the front. From that viewpoint, the left side of the boat is called “port,” and the right side is called “starboard.” This is always the case no matter where you are located on the boat. The front (usually pointy) end of the boat is called the “bow,” which rhymes with “cow.” The back end of the boat is called the “stern.” If you are going towards the front of the boat you are going “forward.” If you go towards the back, you are going “aft.”

Port and starboard, and bow and stern, all originate with old Norse words that sound similar. Starboard was the side where a board was located traditionally that was used to steer the boat. It was called a “larboard” which evolved into “starboard.”

The “port” side was the side the ship usually put towards the dock to load cargo, in port.

“Bow” is a word that derives from an old Norse word for “shoulder,” and if you think about it, you can picture the boat

shouldering through the waves and wind.

“Stern” is an old Norse word for steering, and relates to the fact that and ships boats eventually evolved to have their steering apparatus at the rear of the boat. So the back end was where the steering happened, and it was called the stern.

Upstairs and downstairs? On boats we say “on deck” or “below decks,” or more simply, “on deck” or “below.” So if you were on deck (the flat part of the boat you can walk on when you step aboard) and wanted to go down in the cabin the change your clothes or go to sleep, you might say, “I’m going below.”

So that’s a brief primer of some basic nautical terms about ships and boats.

These terms may sound odd to people who spend most of their time on land. But I can assure you that, were you a person who worked on a boat, you’d quickly learn these words and probably use them everyday.

So the next time you get invited on board a boat, take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with these terms before you go.

Then you can casually weave something like this into the conversation, if it seems appropriate: “Thanks so much for inviting me aboard, Captain. Would you like me to sit on the port or the starboard side?” I’ll bet they’ll be impressed.

SUNDAY OPERA

by Bereniece Jones-Centeno bjclassical@gmail.com

Richard Mantle, former General Director Of Opera North, a long running opera company that presents opera in English, asked and answered “why is opera important? Why is any art important?

The combination of dramatic narrative, stagecraft and music, and especially the range and vulnerability of the human voice, make opera the art form that comes closest to expressing pure emotion. It is storytelling at its most vivid and manipulative.”

This is a perfect summary of how many people feel about the art form. Once bitten, many people will tell the tale of their first opera experience and how they came to be avid fans! Fandom usually includes turning on the radio to hear opera as much as going in for the live performance at an opera house. For some, the radio is the best way to enjoy listening to the story on your own terms. As the music sweeps over you, you can turn it up or turn it down, do your gardening, do your laundry, enjoy your brunch, study the score, and just imagine what it would look like on the actual stage.

When I first heard the Texaco Opera quiz presented by the Metropolitan Opera during their opera broadcasts, I was filled with dreams of being one of the folks who would get to offer questions.

I would sit there trying to dream up a question that the esteemed panel could answer for sure but that would certainly make them have to work for it! Now of course I couldn’t wait until they would get back to the business of the opera itself but the banter was fun too!

Well, hopefully, you can find some of what we do at KMUN on Sunday Opera engaging as well. While we work really hard to bring the art, the orchestral swells, the dramatic narrative, and the beauty of the human voice to your ears, I hope we also manage to share a love for opera and draw you in! sundays from 9–12 pm

WEDNESDAY MORNING FOLK SHOW

eve r mon y 4th da 9:30 y at am

By Lynn Hadley alking story is an interview program on KMUN/KTCB since April

2018. As host and producer/creator of this program, I, Lynn Hadley, like to don my geologist gear and excavate the many interesting and intriguing treasures in the form of stories, that are created by the experiences of community members in their wide and varied walks of life.

The original title of the show was Local Color, as a tribute to my late father who taught me to always appreciate the individual character and color that each space and person has to offer.

We all carry and collect gems and precious stones of stories on life’s journey; there is great reward and honor in discussing the craft, process, and art forms created by the many traveled, educated, and expressive people in and around the Pacific Northwest. We have an enriched appreciation for all things in sharing, listening, and learning from others. In fact, the name of the show was changed as a result of my second interview with a fabulous storyteller, Alton Takiyama Chung. He spoke of growing up in Hawaii and the Hawaiian tradition of community coming together to share news, stories, and goings on, known as “Talking Story”.

The concept brilliantly captured what was my hope to accomplish with the program,and the new name was created.

Won’t you please join me and tune in Talking Story the 4th Monday of every month at 9:30 a.m. on your Coast Community Radio. If you would like to suggest someone for an interview for this program, please contact the station at (503) 325-0010 and leave a message for me.

’ve been a very lucky guy in musical matters. I grew up with music, and in the early ’60’s found a place in the local folk music community. We had the Columbus Folk Music Center as a music hub, as well as the “Sacred Mushroom” coffee house. The place was a bit different than current day coffee houses. It had, I think, 29 flavors of Maxwell House – vanilla, etc., but it also had civil rights workers, jazz musicians, puppeteers, and folk music.

The folk music was divided roughly between traditional and contemporary. On Wednesday night, Joan Gibbons would host a traditional music ’open mic’ (they didn’t call it that, but audience members were encouraged to perform). Wednesday night performances came generally from the music of Jean Ritchie, Pete Seeger, Mike Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Ed McCurdy, and others. On Friday nights, the music was more like the Chad Mitchell Trio, Brothers Four, Peter Paul & Mary, etc. (popular college music at the time). I liked both nights, but gradually moved toward the traditional.

This was in Columbus, Ohio, a place at the time that was rich in bluegrass music in local bars. The Central Ohio region, including Dayton, had great bluegrass then. I got to see Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, The Country Gentlemen, Jimmy Martin, and many other groups. I feel incredibly lucky to have been there at that time.

Within our folk music community, we played songs from the New Lost City Ramblers, various bluegrass groups, and favorites from the “Mushroom” and The Ohio State Folk Music club. We had a vibrant community then that lasted more or less about ten years. I’ve kept in touch with folk music since then, meandered around other genres, and gone back to my roots. I’ve since gotten into jazz, world music, and bits and snatches of other genres.

Now, again I feel extremely fortunate to be able to share music with KMUN listeners and the greater community in the region. KMUN has such a wealth of music of all types. I am truly grateful to be a part of this community.

I host the Wednesday Folk show from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon on alternate weeks with Kati.

Also, the Shady Grove show on Saturday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on the fourth Saturday each month. wednesdays from 10 am – 12 pm COAST COMMUNITY RADIO

FROM THE NEWS & PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT

by Joanne Rideout News Director

I

n coast community radio’s news department,

we do our best to get as much done as efficiently as possible. News is notoriously expensive to provide, so we are always looking for ways to keep costs down and coverage up. This year we have made strides in adding more local reporting to our lineup, to better serve our listening community.

something of an endangered species these days, and we’re proud to serve that vital role here, helping keep listeners informed.

Another exciting development in the news department is a story series I’m developing on homelessness in coastal communities. I’m working on stories and time permits, taking a solutions journalism approach to this troubling issue, looking for people and organizations that are trying to make a difference in our local communities, to define challenges and find ways to meet them. So listen for those stories as I scope them out and shape them.

We’ll also make them available on the station’s website and Facebook, as podcasts, as they’re available.

This year we have made strides in adding more local reporting to our lineup

We have two voices on the air now as NPR local news hosts: Dylan Hauser- Schalk and me. You’ll hear me hosting Morning Edition and All Things Considered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Dylan hosts on Tuesdays and Fridays. Dylan has been a great addition to our news room staff. In addition to his news hosting duties, he engineers public affairs shows, is learning behind the scenes operations skills (referred to by me generally as “the blinky light things,”), and also helps out in our development department.

Dylan’s presence here at the station, in addition to being a great presence on the air and behind the scenes, has also allowed me the time to do some local news reporting, mostly covering Astoria city government issues. Local reporting is

Community announcements on Kmun 91.9 and website

I’m looking forward to more news reporting, production and hosting.

This role as reporter, host and news director is one of the most rewarding I have ever had here at the station, where I’ve worn many hats over the years. I’m in my happy place here, now. So look for more news coverage as we move forward. I’m glad to be on the air, serving you.

Thanks for listening.

hi

“I’m so lucky, in my county we listen to KMUN, Coast Community Radio.

“saw this and the many comments to this story KMUN can be very proud.

Every day a real DJ gets to play the music they want (most of it fantastic), mixed in with the public radio staples like Fresh Air, etc.

And when a big storm knocked out power for a week back in ’07–’08 they stayed on the air using their emergency generators to broadcast important community information.

VOLUNTEER CORNER

By Carolyn Wells Volunteer

I

found kmun on the dial shortly after moving

to Seaside from Los Angeles in 1984. I was hooked immediately. Somewhere around 1985-86, I got a call from Doug Sweet, probably around fundraising.

I remember the heavy pause in the conversation when I told him that I wanted only local programming–that if I wanted to listen to NPR I could have stayed in L.A. I had become tired of that programming during my hour long commutes to and from work.

"It was then that I began to understand the miracle of CCR, and to see the inner workings of this village within a village."

FALL 2019 THE CURRENT

It took me awhile, but I came to understand that pause, and the gentle way that Doug explained that local programming isn’t exactly a snap of the fingers sort of thing. I was a financial contributor for years before I started to invest my time. I was elected to the board, an honor and an education. It was then that I began to understand the miracle of CCR, and to see the inner workings of this village within a village. I came to understand the truly heroic efforts of the few paid staff members. It is mind boggling to me, now realizing how many people show up, week after week, year after year, to provide me with these wonderful programs.

I have had many roles here in Clatsop County–spouse, mother, citizen, physician, School Health Specialist, almost retiree–and CCR volunteer. I have been listening to KMUN for most of it’s lifetime. I hope to continue for the rest of mine.

“Dear Coast Community Radio, I’m writing to express my profound appreciation for Joanne Rideout and The Ship Report. We listen to it every day while taking our daughter to school. It’s our favorite show on the radio, and one of my favorite parts about living here.

A point of view which is simultaneously local, personal, knowledgeable, and full of respect and love for the things that make this part of the world unique is priceless.

Warm Regards, peter richardson, astoria

S

unday august 4th

was Coast Community Radio’s second “Farm to Table Dinner.” The event featured live classical guitar music, fine food from local sources prepared by chef Marco Davis, and a brief presentation about the station’s recent accomplishments and plans for the future.

The setting for the dinner was the picture perfect meadow at Chez Barbara Hansel. Barbara has been many things for the station over the years, including being a founder and original host of Bedtime Stories.

Thank you for being such an advocate for the station, Barbara! A very special thanks also goes out to those who attended the dinner.

This event is an opportunity for community members to get to know the station and each other a little better. Our hope is that those in attendance will consider becoming more involved with Coast Community Radio, either as a station volunteer or supporter.

Are you interested in joining us at a farm to table dinner in the future, or perhaps hosting one? We hope to present similar events on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington as well as in South Clatsop and Tillamook Counties.

Please email graham@coastradio for more information.

FROM THE OPERATIONS MANAGER

Reflecting on 2 years in Operation(s) Wow.

i can’t believe it’s only been two years as CCR’s

Operations Manager. As a team, we’ve accomplished a lot. There’s still a lot to do, but sometimes we have to step back and look at what we’ve done. In my position, I really feel like I am here to support our amazing volunteers and staff. All of these accomplishments have been done together through the incredible focus, help and guidance of our fearless Station Manager, Graham.

In the beginning of my work, we completely overhauled the way that we communicate at CCR. Through the non-profit organization of TechSoup and Google for Non-Profits, we were able to migrate our email server and shared documents into the G-Suite, which has streamlined our communication and organization. We now have virtually unlimited storage, have almost eliminated spam and are able to utilize email groups to make it easier for programmers to find substitutes. We can take better notes and work more to collaborate as a team.

Through our many calendars we can help organize programmers, front desk volunteers, staff and help forward promote shows. We use google forms for surveys to gather information from our listeners and also input all of the feedback that you give us through membership drives so that we can react to the needs of your community radio station.

We then rolled out a new podcast platform that uses RSS coding to allow our podcasts to reach iTunes, Stitcher and other RSS readers. This has cut the time it takes to publish podcasts, increased the reach and traffic of great public affairs, news stories, city council meetings bedtime stories and more. It also allows us to track the stats of our listenership so we know that you are listening!

We overhauled our production equipment and software so that our programmers can produce top-notch pre-recorded programs.

We now have many world class prerecorded programs including, Myths and Melodies, East Meets West, World of Bach and Perspectives that all make use of this new equipment.

As you may have read in other editions of “The Current,” through the successful Radio for Good campaign, we overhauled our entire KMUN signal path so that we have redundant gear for every piece of the chain! A new transmitter was installed alongside new distribution amps, STL (Studio to Transmitter Link), exciter and more. A new South Astoria translator was installed and we are working on the same for Cannon Beach. We installed a new console in the KMUN air room so that we can rely on buttons working properly and better air quality.

On the membership side, we are in the process of moving to a new database/ management system to better track your

generous memberships, donations and gifts. This comes along with a new donation page on our website that will make the process easier on you and us. This has been a huge undertaking that Janet, our Membership Specialist/Volunteer Coordinator Extraordinaire has taken on almost entirely on her own with patience and grace. We are very excited to roll this out in our next member drive.

All of these efforts have been done to adapt to the needs of our members and listeners.

We are also working hard to make sure that we are on the air for you in times of trouble for years to come. There is always more to be done and it takes a strong team to do this! With that said, I am sad to announce that I will be leaving my post as Operations Manager in September to pursue other opportunities. It was an extremely hard decision to make, but one that I feel is right for me at this time in my life. I will always treasure my time here on staff, and I look forward to continuing on as a volunteer and programming as the host of my new show, the “North Coast Range,” every other Thursday at 1pm. I want to personally thank the entire Coast Community Radio community for welcoming me with open arms and working with me throughout the last two years.
