FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
View From the Crow’s Nest by Graham Nystrom Station Manager
I
am a very fortunate person. That is because I am in the best-suited job for me that I could possibly imagine. I dig both right brain and left brain stuff. I can handle nuts and bolts, circuits,
wires, agendas, budgets, and strategic planning. But I am equally drawn to creativity, expression, emotions, love and relationships.
Within the walls of the station, and across our airwaves, you find all of these things. On my end of the transmission, there is always a piece of equipment to fix, a grant to apply for, or a friendly face to commune with. On your end of the transmission, there is a beautiful song, an important piece of news or information, a different
perspective, or a story that speaks to your heart. In every aspect of Coast Community Radio, there is immense heart. KMUN is full of people who care. We care about each other, we care about you, we care about the environment, domestic and global issues, as so on. We inform, we educate and we entertain. And in all this, we do good. Coast Community Radio has staying power because we have the trust of the community. We have a small, but dedicated and truly excellent staff, a committed group of board members, a
roster of over 130 volunteers, and over 1000 members. But most of all, we have staying power because we do good, and people know it. We are at a point in time and culture, where every action or inaction by people and continued on pg 4

FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
According to Plato, the form of the Good is what allows us to understand everything else. He compares the form of the Good with the sun, as it is what allows us to see things. The sun allows for sight. But he makes an important distinction, “sun is not sight” but it is “the cause of sight itself.” The form of the Good is “what gives truth to the things known, and the power to know to the knower”. It is the “cause of knowledge and truth”. The form of the Good allows us to understand difficult concepts like justice, knowledge and truth. He identifies these concepts as being important, but he says, “good is yet more prized”. It is what “provides for justice, knowledge and truth”. KMUN is an instrument of the Good. It provides for knowledge and truth. It fertilizes your heart, mind and soul. So in this moment of time, in which we find ourselves experiencing this world together, we all have work to do. Good work. KMUN is doing its part, and I know you are as well. This year, and in years to come, I sincerely hope you will consider ways that your good work and KMUN’s good work can intersect. To close, I propose a toast: to KMUN, to the community, to you, and to The Good. cheers!

onidos Latinos is the place to come and learn about the rest of America. It proves true the old adage that music is a multi-national language, a language that binds us all, where there are no borders, no walls. It’s in music where we can find a true connection - and equality among all of us. The sound of Latin music is centuries old. Africa, Europe, and Latin America may be separated by thousands of miles of ocean, but there is a profound link with each other. Latin music is heavily rooted in the rhythms and instruments brought by African slaves to the New World – first, to Cuba and then it spread to all other Latin American countries. My philosophy is that the listeners will appreciate more the program if I tell them about the transformation of music throughout time. How music has moved through the different countries creating a variety of styles that are as exotic as they are romantic, such as the samba, tango, fado, reggae, cumbia, salsa, ballads and boleros, and so many other styles, and capturing the imagination of younger generations by infusing jazz arrangements with element of rock.. Latin music also has had an impact on the dance floors, not only of Latin America but of the world.

alk of our towns (toots) began with the idea that there was a lot to talk about in the Columbia Pacific Region… and beyond! TOOTS is a forum, an interview program, a glimpse into people, places and events which deserve our attention… mostly here, some from afar. There are fine people and excellent organizations doing important work in each of the towns which make up our unique part of the world. There are diverse characters creating quirky and amazing lives, inviting us to stretch our minds and be curious. Who are they? What are they doing? WHY are they doing it? How does what they are doing affect us and how can we become more informed and engaged with our community… and what is beyond our doorstep? Although TOOTS generally focuses on local folks and issues, often there is a surprise connection with a person, place or thing which will be of interest to everyone, wherever they call home. Guests range from a traveling writer to a deeply rooted local who volunteers with one or more of the many worthy non-profits which keep good things happening for everyone. The intention is that there is always something GOOD coming through the airwaves on TOOTS through thoughtful and lively conversation with interesting folks!
Sonidos Latinos includes tidbits of cultural differences, of different histories, different social norms, and human unities.
TOOTS explores the eclectic and far-reaching interests of the Coast Community Radio audience, wherever they may be in the world. TOOTS is about humanity, discovery, connection and information as it hopefully entertains, educates, inspires, enlightens and provides a call to action where needed! Donna would very much appreciate your ideas for TOOTS guests and topics so please email her at: donna@coastradio.org and put TOOTS in the topic line. Thank you!
Sonidos Latinos is also programmed by Norma Hernandez, Cornelio Gonzalez & Rodrigo Levezni

hy you should care about tides: If you’re a regular listener to Coast Community Radio, you may have heard a recent addition to our weekday weather segment in the morning during the weather block when we feature Gordon McCraw’s detailed forecast. We’ve added information about tides on the coast, as a service to our listeners, both residents and visitors alike.
It’s not that we expect you to memorize the tide tables or even remember what exactly we said on any given day. The larger point, and it’s an important one, is that we want you to understand that paying attention to tides is important, and to remind you to look up the tides yourself each time you go to the beach.

Whatever’s happening on the beach when you get there, you can be sure that the one constant is that conditions are constantly changing. An especially dangerous situation for people visiting Oregon’s rocky coast is to arrive at low tide and think the waterline will remain where it is. Each year the Coast Guard gets called to rescue people who are stranded on rocks by rising waters. The rescued ones are lucky. It’s clear many people don’t pay attention to this essential fact – if the water’s high, it will eventually go down, and if it’s low it will eventually rise. The problem with learning this lesson the hard way is you could be stuck on rocks, cold and wet and possibly hypothermic, for six hours until the tide changes. People have died from being stuck in the wrong place. The remedy for this is simple – use your smart phone. Download one of the many free tide apps available out there (my current favorite is Wolfram), and just do a quick check for the beach when you arrive. It will tell you instantly whether the tide is falling or rising, and you can plan accordingly for any hikes and other adventures. If you don’t have a smart phone, look up the location of your beach on saltwatertides.com or another tides website. Or you can pick up a printed local tide table at a marine supply or hardware store. This simple, easy precaution could save your life and the lives of your loved ones. So the next time you’re headed for the beach, be one of the savvy ones. Check the tides. It only takes a minute and it could make all the difference.

VOLUNTEER CORNER
My time at KMUN
My volunteerism, my Astoria:
I
T
by Dylan Hauser-Schalk
’m not one generally to believe in fate but KMUN picked me up about exactly when I needed it in my life. At 17, and having just moved back into my mother’s house, I was tenuously moving through school while trying to keep good care of my Grandma. (love you). It was a bit of a complicated living situation to explain. Nevertheless, being sort of an established personality at the high school already, I got shaken down by CCR’s own Graham Nystrom to do the youth program. (love you Graham)
My first show was… rigid, at best. The nerves were high and my confidence was low. That was back when the microphone was intimidating. The second show went about the same: not sharp, very dull. At the time of my third show I was getting so frustrated with my freezing up on the mic I was going to play the worst music I could in hopes that they would kick me off the air and I wouldn’t have to do it anymore. The night before my third show I ran into a highly inspirational piece of music that made me change my mind about sabotaging my own broadcast, and thank heavens I did. The show went off, miraculously, without a hitch that time. The feeling was totally euphoric. Grandma died between my third and fourth show, so she hasn’t been able to share most of the radio journey alongside me (at least not physically). Thank you so much to her, to Graham, Elizabeth, Joanne, and to Gabe. The last two years here has maybe changed the course of life for me forever.

FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
Logan Garner Volunteer Coordinator here is something about this community that spoke to me when I moved to Astoria… only it spoke in a whisper “Volunteer… ” When my wife and I transplanted here in 2015 we’d only a nebulous idea of what we were seeking. As chronic volunteers in the Midwest, we valued community. Weeks of searching for jobs and housing in the metropoli to our East and North informed us that this vibrant, eclectic village was just our speed. In less than a year we settled into jobs, our first house and decided to engage the community to which we felt so welcomed. That’s when I located the Coast Community Radio, geographically speaking (I’d been listening for months). My first volunteer shift was enlightening. Nearly everyone who passed through the station was already a familiar face, but not due their roles here. It was because I’d seen these folks out in the community doing good, celebrating the culture of this corner of the world. This, I realized, was a town of volunteers. Of participants. Fast forward to today, I’m still a part of my Coast Community Radio. But I am also a mentor, a docent, and a supporter of local arts. And who knows—if I’m here long enough participating in the good of this community, I’ll consider myself an Astorian, too. Editor note: Logan is the new volunteer coordinator at Coast Community Radio and can be reached at Logan@coastradio.org.
Volunteer? Why Bother? by Richard Dawson Board Member

here comes a time when one begins to think about giving back to the community as a volunteer with a civic minded organization. While benefiting the community, this experience can be especially rewarding and satisfying to the volunteer. While important, this
concept is often overlooked.
been a real bonus. Being a board member has resulted
When I first stood for election to the Board of Directors, I cited examples of previous volunteer activities and what they meant to me. While in Seattle, three years with Habitat for Humanity was especially gratifying. I helped build a home for a deserving family, gained additional skills as a carpenter, and used them to help others. After moving to this corner of the world, I found a few opportunities to volunteer that were OK, but not quite enough for me. Then, the jackpot — Coast Community Radio. As a programmer, I have increased my knowledge and appreciation of the music I play, as with other musical genres. Lasting friendships established with some of the most interesting people I have ever known have
in a greater appreciation of the workings of the station, its people, and even more friends. Giving back to your community can be a mutually beneficial experience; I think Coast Community Radio is one of your best options. As I wondered what I could do by volunteering, you may have similar reservations. It’s a simple matter to talk to a friend who is a volunteer, or visit the Tillicum House and get to know us. You might be surprised to learn that we are just like you. And you are just like us. Get involved, give back to the community. Check us out. Coast Community Radio might the right choice for you. If it is, we all win.

FROM THE OPERATIONS MANAGER by Brian Bovenizer Operations Manager
WHY?
as a new member of the staff, celebrating my first anniversary during the time of print, I have been reflecting on this question for a while. Why did I decide to drop out of college as an undergrad studying Communications Radio, to move to Astoria? Why am I now serendipitously working for a radio station? WHY?! Better yet, why work in (Coast) Community Radio? Why not do something else? The only answer that sums it up is, COMMUNITY. It is an often overused and cliched word, but it is also the model of our radio station. Fortunately, we live in an amazing community of genuinely nice, hard-working, creative people. But it’s more special than that. This area of the world is truly more beautiful and honest than any other that I have been to.

e’ve got some exciting changes to talk about this month: Coast Community Radio has a news intern! Dylan Hauser-Shalk has been training with us during the month of July, learning the ropes to sub for me when I’m out, and taking over some public affairs programming engineering duties. Dylan is a recent Astoria High School grad and was part of our Astoria Youth Radio project. He’s a quick study and you’ll be hearing him more and more on the station. Beginning in August, Dylan will be on the air doing the Friday morning newscast from 8 to 9, and recording the evening news as well on that day. That will free up a day for me to work on more local news reporting. So a win-win all around: the station

FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
The band, Blind Pilot recently played their 10th anniversary show at the Liberty Theater and I was honored to introduce them. I found myself again reflecting on my last 10 years, 9 of which have been here in Astoria. In my first weeks, introduced to BP at the Liberty, I was desperate for work and auditioning as a music critic for a now popular music blog. BP had a new album (the iTunes Sessions) that I submitted a review on. The editor liked it, but said that I was too kind with my words and had to bash it a bit. She attempted to change my entire piece and wanted to publish it under my name. Even though it would have been a paid gig, I couldn’t put my name on it. Why? It’s not about the money. It’s about the honesty. The community.
has a new, young voice on the air, and listeners will gain more local news coverage from their community radio station. In other news, NPR is rolling out a new Morning Edition program schedule for the 8-9 hour on Coast Community Radio, which will mean some changes in the timing of our local news programming. Northwest News will switch from 8:41 where it airs now, to 8:30, at the bottom of the hour. Show promo information that we now air at 8:30 will air at 8:42. We think these changes will make it more convenient for our listeners to catch our local news broadcasts and help us serve you better. Thanks for listening and supporting local news on Coast Community Radio – we’ll see you on the air!

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM by Susan Peterson, Development Director
Community, it’s our middle name!
H
appy anniversary to kmun (35 years strong) and to me! I have been here for 5 years!
Way back (ha ha) in 2013, I was hired in July, worked a few phone shifts in the August drive and started work a couple weeks early! I was that excited! And now, after 5 years of living and breathing CCR, I am just as thrilled to be here! Since college days, a goal in my sights included using the skills and talents I have for the good of the planet and it’s inhabitants. Coast Community Radio hits that target for me! As a community radio station, powered by volunteers and supported by listeners, KMUN is “your voice in the Columbia Pacific Region”. If there is an event, an interesting ship in the river or a lost dog, we tell people about it. Looking into the 35th anniversary of KMUN brought up a lot of interesting history. I have met so many people who were at the station on April

FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
17, 1983, many of them are still involved or still in the area. I recently ran into Dave Quinton, he was playing in a band that performed live on air that evening. I found out that he is my neighbor and a very talented musician. After 5 years of working here, I have grown in appreciation of our vital communities. Mostly, in people who are making a difference in the region. In the KMUN studio for interviews, there have been event organizers, HR people, wildlife rehabbers, social workers, travelers, visual artists, and of course, musicians, the list could go on and on. It takes a village and if you are making a difference in the region sooner or later crossing the threshold to the station is inevitable. It all happens here, the melting pot, Coast Community Radio. I am going to keep saying “community, its our middle name.” It fits.

REMEMBERING OUR FRIENDS
You will be missed! Jeanne Marya Butler Lord
Long time KMUN volunteer and programmer Marya Butler passed away on May 30th.
Jeannie Lord was a wonderful friend to KMUN for years. Always warm, friendly and generous with her smiles, presence and delicious cooking and baking. Treats would regularly appear unbidden.
Thanks to Jeanne, we were able to buy new high quality microphones for the Liberty Theater for the Astoria Music Festival. She loved that we aired the Festival and wanted to help the broadcast sound even better. Jeanne grew up in Iowa and moved to Washington state in 1951. When she retired to the Long Beach Peninsula she owned and operated a coffee house called Festivals. After moving to Astoria she volunteered in the auxiliary at Columbia Memorial Hospital and of course, KMUN. Jeanne wrote to us in May- ‘Missing everyone at the radio station..wanted to drop a note and thank everyone for the time you permitted me to be a volunteer in your midst. What a joy and blessing to my life- Amen!’ Jeanne and I often talked about visiting Italy and it gave me joy that she recently was able to go on that journey. There will be a celebration of life at the Three Cups Coffee House on Saturday, September 29th at 4:30 PM. - Elizabeth

FALL 2018 THE CURRENT
Marya was born in Michigan. In high school she contemplated careers in singing and journalism but decided on teaching and earned a Masters Degree in linguistics, specializing in English as a second language. From helping Chinese students in Hong Kong or Cuban refugees in Kansas, she loved to teach. Marya came to the station in 1993- hosting Sunday Morning Classics for more than 20 years. She made it to the KMUN studios through all kinds of weathersun & rain, fog & hail- early on Sunday mornings. “I wake people up and get them going towards their pancakes” Besides loving classical music, Marya loved to danceflamenco, ballet and tap with the ‘Undecided Tappers’ and singing with the ‘Noisy Neighbors’. Marya’s was a feisty personality and you knew where you stood with her. When asked what 10 albums she would take to a desert island she said “I would have to swim behind a raft full of music, pushing it to shore. Let the sharks bite my toes if they will.”
