BY M I C H A E L YOU N G
Welcome back to the KVMR Listeners
Guide, now fully digitized for your reading
enjoyment. Rising printing and distribution
costs forced management to suspend the
physical edition of the guide for now, but a
number of broadcasters, led by graphic
artist Kim Rogers, are bringing it back to life
on the website. Thanks folks.
It’s been quite awhile since this column
has been published and a lot has happened. First, KVMR’s new home across the
Building &
Board Members
Update
street behind the Nevada Theatre continues
to work its way though the planning, city
approval, contractor selection, design and
costing process. As most of you know, earlier this year the project was approved by
the city planning department without any
formal challenges and is now in the process
of getting a firm cost estimate.
A selection committee made up of members from both the station and the Nevada
Theatre Commission, after a long process
involving nine companies, selected Landmark Construction to be the general contractor. We were quite impressed with their
professionalism and their cost structure.
They are a regional company, headquartered in Loomis and their project superintendent lives right here in Nevada City.
They were selected early in the process to
work with us to ensure the lowest cost and
the greatest use of local manpower and
supplies, which will make up about 85%
of the building cost.
We have selected Diane McIntire as
“owner’s representative” to work with our
architect, Jeff Gold, and the contractor to
ensure that the community’s interests are
considered as the project takes shape. We
are also in the process of forming a trust
that will include representatives of both the
station and the theater commission to hold
the property and buildings and help us
with additional fundraising. We are on
track to break ground next summer and
turn on the lights by the summer of 2014.
This project has become more than just
a new radio station. We are building a community landmark that not only encompasses a new home for KVMR but also
creates much-needed backstage space for
the Nevada Theater. And, it becomes a
meeting-place for the community at large, a
place where we can give voice to service organizations, environmental groups, musical combos and concerned citizens.
We are trying to include everyone in the
process and hope that, if you haven’t yet,
you contribute to this project. You can contact me at [email protected] about we’ll
talk about how you can help.
We recently held board elections and
Larry Hillberg, Jim Bunnell and Mary Ross
were all reelected to new three-year terms.
Sadly, Josh Lichterman “termed out” after
six great years on the board and as a gift to
us, he recruited his replacement. Her name
is Susan Prince and she lives in Alta. She
has quite a resume of work in public television, internet design, and polling and
research. She has already jumped in on a
number of committees and we are indeed
lucky to have her. Welcome, Susan and
good luck, Josh.
The board recently completed polling
those of you who are members of KVMR to
find out your opinions on a number of
aspects of the station and what changes you
would like to see. We will be using that information to improve the station’s quality
and make sure we address everyone’s needs.

As many of you, our devoted
listeners and supporters, discovered
over the last year or so—KVMR’s signal reach to the Greater Sacramento
metropolitan area was compromised. In May, many of you received
a letter explaining what occurred
and why. At the risk of some repetition, here briefly are some facts and
some general information.
Radio station KQED, San Francisco, has been operating a station
Through the resolute efforts of
our Chief Engineer, KVMR has
acquired two frequencies in the area
near Sacramento that may provide
interference-free reception to some
of our listeners who are unable to
receive our 89.5 signal. One is a full
service station licensed to Camino,
CA at 88.3 on the FM dial (and purchased with the generous support of
a KVMR donor) and the other is a
repeater licensed to Woodland, CA
KVMR has acquired two frequencies
in the area near Sacramento that may provide

unable to receive our 89.5 signal.
serving Sacramento—KQEI,89.3—
which largely repeats the programming of KQED. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
granted authorization for KQEI to
increase their power. Because of
KQEI’s proximity to KVMR on the
dial, the impact to KVMR has been
abysmal. Unfortunately, since the
FCC does not consider Sacramento
to be a protected area for KVMR,
there was little we could do at
that time.
Together, KVMR and KQED have
requested that the FCC allow us to
utilize some new technologies that
should partly resolve the interference issues. We await their response.
In the meantime, we have continued to explore creative ways to once
again provide as much service as
possible to our Sacramento area
listeners.
at 104.7 and donated to KVMR from
the Educational Media Foundation.
We are in the process of filing the required transfer documents with the
FCC, followed by some on-air testing. We hope to put both stations
on the air in the next several months.
We’ll keep all of you up to date.
You can still stream KVMR on
your computer (kvmr.org) or receive
KVMR on your Smartphone. An
application for both iPhone and
Android platforms: TuneIn Radio, as
well as another for iPhone: Public
Radio Player.
We’ll continue working on other
solutions in providing KVMR service
to you. We have already come a long
way. Our gratitude for your continued devotion! Your thoughts and
suggestions are always welcome.

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
BY DAV I D L E V I N
AS 2012 COMES TO A CLOSE, KVMR, ONCE
again, has lots to be thankful for. Although
we continue to be met by challenging
times—you, our listeners, remain strongly
supportive of your community radio companion. Our board, staff and volunteers want
you all know how much we value our listen-
Gratitude
&Thanks
ers and supporters. Deepest respect and gratitude to all of you! Simply put—there is no
KVMR without listeners willing to sustain the
station each and every year.
Thanks and gratitude to KVMR’s broadcasters who never fail to amaze us—bringing
remarkable radio every day. At least a dozen
new, certified broadcasters will be coming
your way in the near future and another
round of training will begin January 16.
Some of this year’s program highlights:
■ Live and continued special coverage of developments regarding the passage of the Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance by the Nevada
County Board of Supervisors this May.
■ KVMR partnered with the South Yuba
River Citizens League, Shawn Garvey’s “Save
Our Parks” and others to broadcast a live
Town Hall Meeting on the closure of the
South Yuba River State Park and Malakoff
Diggins. A petition drive was mounted and
endorsed at the event; it more than doubled
its goal of 5,000 signatures within two
months and resulted in state parks officials
removing the South Yuba Park from the closure list.
■ KVMR presented live coverage by one of
our broadcasters from Rio de Janiero from
the Rio Conference on the Environment.
■ Thanks to Yubanet and our own resourceful broadcasters, KVMR once again presented
compressive fire and winter weather coverage.
■ Our broadcasters captured some great interviews with Lily Tomlin, Peter Yarrow, and
Rosanne Barr, among others.
This year marks the passing of a very special broadcaster here at KVMR. Walt Fraser
spent the final 29 of his 89 years with us and
we are the better for it.
Thanks and gratitude to our business underwriters who see the great value of conveying their product or service to KVMR’s many
listeners; and, yes, listeners pay attention to
and support KVMR’s underwriters—everyone
wins.
While 2013, no doubt, will be equally
challenging, we’re confident it will bring even
more exciting program initiatives. Among
them—more live concert and festival broadcasts from around the region as well as town
hall and audience participation programs
covering relevant issues and concerns in the
news.
As we plan to celebrate holiday festivities
and perhaps connect with our families to rejoice in the fruits of this year’s labors, let’s
give thanks for our everyday gifts. Here’s
hoping you’ll include KVMR in your daily
holiday schedule—we’re here live and
around the clock. Our devoted staff and volunteers will once again give back some of
their holiday time so that you can more thoroughly enjoy KVMR’s program tidings—an
abundance of offerings for you to enjoy! It’s
our ongoing gift to you with our pledge to
bring you nothing but the best and most
compelling radio throughout the entire year.
You deserve it!
We wish you Peace, Joy, Love, Respect and
a very Happy New Year!

Nearly 300 volunteers, broadcasters and guests attended
KVMR's annual holiday Volunteer Appreciation Party.
The dedication and care our volunteers, on-air and off-air,
give to the station
makes KVMR a

And the Lifetime Achievement
Award goes to...
Chris Towne
Chris, a Nevada City water department supervisor, who is also a veteran
KVMR broadcaster, Towne won the
2012 Bill Tuttle Lifetime Achievement
Award, named after the late longtime
broadcaster who was a show host into
his early 90s.
Chris was honored for his "successful and meaningful" 15 years hosting
the Thursday Music Magazine, as well as
his contributions to the noncommercial station's broadcaster training
program, dedication to vinyl recordings and work as a producer and host
on KVMR's Nevada County Fair
live broadcasts.
"He's someone who brought passion and a real sense of community
to our annual live remotes from the
8
Fair," said KVMR Program Director
Steve Baker, who adds that Towne's
wit and musical taste will be "sorely
missed." Towne did his last regular
Music Magazine on Thanksgiving
afternoon, though he will continue to
substitute and volunteer at the station.
Volunteer Of The Year went to
John Adams for his work on
a variety of station projects, including
music digitization and technical issues
concerning the station's proposed new

Greetings from a
New Broadcaster
My name is Tenali
and before you ask, no,
it is not my birth name,
rather there is a little story as to
how my name came to be.
This is how it happened.
About 20 years ago, when I was
16 or so and living in the in the
Kettle Moraine region of Wisconsin, our neighbors, who were
originally from India, had their
nephew come to the US to study.
Being the same age, I naturally
became his guide to integrate
him into the American culture.
He disliked his birth name; it
was embarrassing for him to
have people mispronounce it
time after time. I understood. He
was in a new land and culture,
and all he wanted to do, like
most teenagers, was to fit in. So
he changed his name to Baba,
easy enough for the linguistically challenged. And sometimes
he would jokingly call me Tenali,
named so because he knew I liked
reading folktales from around the
world and I especially liked the folk
tales about Tenali Rama, a popular
character in Indian stories and a
king court jester who teaches
through humor and sarcasm.
What can I say; I was always a
class clown of sorts, so the name
seemed appropriate at the time
and it has stayed with me since.
10
A short time later,
I was informed about
a new LPFM (low
power FM) radio
station being started at
a local community
college. Being the
youngest of the four
kids in my family, I
had been inundated by all sorts of
music, and I was just starting to
branch out and discover my own
music. I thought what better way
to share my limited collection
while discovering modern artists
from the station’s surprisingly vast
archive of CDs and LPs, as well as,
share some of the old stuff I had
found on compilations at the
local library.
Being a fresh and very unpolished station, I started doing my
first show within a week of applying. I needed a DJ name so on a
whim, I took on Tenali. I guess,
you could say, the rest is history.
Friends started calling me by my
nickname and it has stuck.
The show, mind you, was nothing special, but I did have two
solid listeners! I know this because
they obsessively called me. They
seemed to enjoy that I would play
just about anything without rhyme
or reason. Random 78s from the
1920s & ‘30s, esoteric folk and psychedelia from the 1960s, sinister
stuff like Renaldo & The Loaf and
The Residents, ethnic field recordings from all over the planet, punk
of all kinds, early 1990s alternative
artists like Dead Can Dance,
Flaming Lips, The Pixies, etc. and
strange vinyl oddities rescued from
thrift store bins, antique stores and
dumpsters, and, well, gosh knows
what else.
I hosted the show for about two
years, but I hardly remember anything. I often wish I had archived
these shows, simply for my own
wonderment, but, well, I guess
they will forever remain a foggy
memory.
In the late ‘90s and the early
aughties, and before I moved to
Nevada City, I was a guest host
from time to time on WORT, a
community radio station in
Madison, WI. They had a program
that was a revolving door of sorts,
offered to the community. You
pitched an idea and if accepted,
a broadcaster would man the
controls. I put together a playlist
culled from my vastly improved
collection of music.
Mostly though, and by request,
I would play field recordings I had
made throughout the US and
beyond. And, as field recording
changed the way I think about
sounds, and being skilled in music
production, editing, and recording,
I couldn’t resist decorating the
show by adding in bits and pieces
of sound bites and other strange
aural pleasantries. Each show, I
was a bit nervous but I think they
went over pretty well.
I should add that WORT would
air Utah Phillips’ show Loafer’s
Glory. I was working in the festival
circuit setting up stages and tents,
and listening to his show during
work became a ritual for me—it
was a motivating force. And it
was his show that inspired to get
involved with community radio.
In fact, I met him in 2002 in
Madison, WI. He was performing
at a local venue and I happened
to bump into him on the street a
few hours before the show. We
chatted for a bit, and I expressed
my ideas and love for community
radio, and in his eloquent witticism, he encouraged me to take
part in it.
So, listening to Loafer’s Glory
from afar and having several
friends living in Nevada City, I
was aware of KVMR before I
moved here. And about two years
after making the jump to Nevada
County in 2006 (via Wisconsin,
then Santa Cruz, then New Mexico, then Madison, WI and then
back to CA, and also getting sidetracked along the way traveling
through several countries and
continents), I started volunteering
at KVMR.
KVMR did not offer
the Broadcaster
Training Class for a
few years, so in the
meantime, I spent a
year with KFOK, a tiny
LPFM station in Georgetown, CA,
hosting the show Muddy Boots.
The show wandered where sneakers never would, moving on the
backroads through the backwoods
and to the forgotten cracks of our
communities.
I featured blues,
jazz, hillbilly and jug bands from
the 1920s & ‘30s, field recordings
from many eras, the random
whimsical, sound collages, and
the rare and not so rare.
In the fall of 2011, I signed up
for KVMR’s Broadcaster Training
Class. In January, 2012, I finished
my hands-on training and completed my certification process.
For the past 6 months, I have
been an occasional guest host on
Mikail’s The Other Side (Tues. 810pm), co-hosted two shows with
Olaf Jens on The Vinyl Avenger
(alt. Thurs. 10pm-midnight),
subbed one time for Hap Hazard’s Espresso Music Magazine
(Fri 4-6pm), and have hosted
a few Red Eye Radio shows
(Midnight-4am).
I can’t give enough thanks to a
wonderful station like KVMR that
allows the community a platform
to share their experience with a
larger audience. Community
stations like KVMR are a treasure,
an opportunity to offer engaging,
educational, insightful, and just
plain fun radio. I’ve had a connection with radio for quite some
time and I look forward to seeing
where it all goes from here.
Finally, I would like to thank
Martha Kuhns and T.E. Wolfe for
facilitating a wonderful broadcaster training class back in the
fall of 2011.
And many thanks to Mikail
Graham, Alice MacAllister, and
Olaf Jens for allowing me to sit in
on their shows and offering advice whenever it was needed.
And Edy Cassell, who has always found a way to get me involved during the last four years
of volunteering at KVMR.

Grass Valley, CA, USA
So you want to be
a broadcaster on
KVMR
UNDERSTANDABLY! IT'S ONLY THE MOST AWESOME AND innovative news
and entertainment source to be found on the public airwaves this side of
Just About Anywhere, USA, and it's YOUR STATION. Let's check your
qualifications, shall we?
■ Yours is a unique vision and voice, not a triple-stamped cookie-cutter
Joel Van Dijk
A Kind of Blues
[Explicit] (MP3 Music)
Tell you what—if the track Pop
Machine isn't blaring from cars
with the windows open even
during the coldest of days of
December, then something is
seriously wrong with FM radio.
(I know there already is something seriously wrong, but you
know—even MORE wrong.)
With the song I Need A Dollar
already the hit of the year, I
figured it'd be the standout on
this crunchy, funky, dirty lovin’
blues album. But, gotta say, track
#10 is the one I'll show off to
my friends, then #5. Aloe Blacc
shows up on the standard
Ain't No Sunshine as well as the
aforementioned Dollar.
There are a lot of layers going
on, almost every song has that
secret thing that makes you go
'hey, that's a cool sound I wasn't
expecting.'
Overall, a very worthy CD.
Editor’s note: Joel grew up in Grass
Valley and has been touring with Aloe
Blacc for awhile now. Congratulations on
your CD, Joel. Jerianne is undoubtledly
a very proud mama.

■ You are fairly thrumming with insight and knowledge concerning sub-
jects of great interest to our local and international listeners (and if
they’re not interested quite yet, you’ll make sure to drum up interest with
dramatic and entertaining presentation, right?)
■ You’re an independent self-motivator, yet also a consummate team-
player, eager to take on new challenges, broaden your musical horizons
and do your part to make KVMR even better than it already is by helping us cover aspects of music, spoken word or up-to-the-minute culture
we haven't quite covered yet. (whew...)
You did of course check all those off, right? If so, then you just might be
Exactly What We Need.
Soon you will have the opportunity to put your passion for music,
current events and community into action, as a member of the on-air team
at KVMR.
2013 Broadcaster
Training Class
in January
Applications are available online through KVMR's website kvmr.org.
The official deadline for applications is January 4, 2013.
Class facilitators Elisa Parker and Greg Jewett, Music Magazine hosts
each, will be looking for the best and brightest, the daring and innovative,
as well as the determined and dependable. Specific information on how
the classes and training will work are included in the applications. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age.
Only a limited number of students will be admitted, so competition for
seats will be fierce. Now is the time to start working out exactly what it is
you can bring to the on-air side of KVMR and why you want to be part of
it. .
Make no mistake—the process is demanding. If it wasn't, we wouldn't
be as good as we are, right? You bring the passion, the quirkiness and the
drive to succeed, and we'll bring the rest. See you there!
See ya ‘round Towne
The inimitable
Chris Towne
They say in the end it’s a blink of an
eye. Then again, 15 years seems like
such a long time ago. When I was assigned this time slot in the fall of
1997, I couldn’t imagine being here all
these years later. But what amazes me
the most, are the broadcasters who
were doing weekly shows when I got
mine…and are still doing it now,
today, after I’ve stepped away.
So hats off to Eric Rice, Annie
O’Dea Hestbeck, Hap Hazard, Alan
Stahler, Mikail Graham, Brian Lee,
Alice MacAllister, Allison Miller,
Michael Keene, Wesley Robertson.
To prepare and produce a weekly program truly is a labor of love.
As for me, I’m leaving the Magazine
because 15 seems like a nice round
number. The time was right and the
vibe was good. No bad feelings. None
of that. I’ve just come to the end as
host of the Thursday Music Magazine.
Simple as that.
The other day I was looking back at
all the people that made their way to
401 Spring Street to join me on the air.
Quite an eclectic group, I must say.
Those were the folks who were the
backbone of the Thursday Magazine.
Included on this list is Cathy Anderson Myers, founder of the Barbara
Schmit Millar Celebration of Life
Woman’s Triathlon; Mila Johanson,
founder of the children’s theatre group
PAG; Tina Bashich, world class snow
boarder; Sara Zahn of the Haven Underground; Beth Moore Haines and
the Green Report; The Hippie Gourmet (before the bust) and the folks
from SYRCL, School of the Arts,
LeGacy and the now defunct Foothill
Theatre Company.
Some of the musicians I had a
chance to have a conversation with
include Bela Fleck, Mick Martin,
Joe Craven, Martin Sexton, David
Lindley, Tim Bloom & Greg Loiacono
of the Mother Hips, Sal Valentino of
the Beau Brummels. Bill Champlin of
the Sons of Champlin, Kim
Simmons of Savoy Brown, Louie Perez
of Los Lobos, and Mark Olson of the
Jayhawks.
Others I feel fortunate to have had
on the air include, actor/director Tim
O’Conner, actor/director/author/
singer Sands Hall, Jon Miller (who is
the Hall of Fame play by play radio
announcer for the WORLD CHAMPION San Francisco Giants) and of
course Lyle Marks, my wonderful High
School/College Sports Commentator.
The long list of local talent
includes, Saul Rayo, Elena Powell, Lorraine Gervais, Paul Kamm & Eleanor
McDonald, Tom Menig, Leta, Bob
Mora, Alela Diane, The String Sisters,
Ludi Hinrichs and of course the Thursday Music Magazine House Band “the
DeadBeats.”
Things I will never forget
I had been hosting my show for
little over a year when one day Bonnie
Raitt’s longtime bass player Freebo
made his way to the studio, bringing
with him John Hall of the band
Orleans to play a few tunes. Top shelf.
Later in life, John went on to become
a two-time US Congressman from
New York.
I’ll remember cramming 25 holiday
carolers into the broadcast booth one
Christmas Eve. Two mics up high for
the adults and one lower just for the
kids. When I think of those voices that
night, it still gives me goosebumps!
I’ll never forget pulling up to KVMR
for a show the afternoon Michael Jackson died. My daughter just phoned me
on her cell to tell me the news moments before I was due to go on the
air. I never got so many calls. Played
Jackson and his brothers right up to
the evening news.
I remember that hot August afternoon when Ret. U.S. Air Force Lt. Col.
Charlie Brown brought his Campaign
for Congress right through the KVMR
broadcast booth at the County Fair.
We talked about everything but politics. Then, he headed for the corn dogs.
Then there was some guy named
Utah who used to hang around at the
station. Folksinger John McCutcheon
would show up sometimes just to
hang out if he knew Utah was going to
be on. I’ll always miss Utah.
I will not miss the long-winded
upcoming show cards. No more
Community Calendars as long as the
phone book. And thank god, no more
phone patch.
Truth be told, I’ll miss it
all. I’ll miss the listeners and all the
(mostly) wonderful phone calls. I’ll
miss discovering new music to share
on the air, all the while mixing in
some classic tune we all know by
heart. I’ll miss the camaraderie.
The camaraderie with the listeners
and the camaraderie with my fellow
broadcasters. I’ll miss Thursdays at
3:59 when Kim Rogers was ending
her show as I was starting mine. She
referred to our transition as “This
dance we do.” She and I had those
steps down.
Elisa Parker has slid away from her
Tuesday spot to become host of the
Thursday Music Magazine. As we all
know, she brings with her a wealth of
talent, expertise and panache. I’m sure
she will keep alive my intention of the
Thursday Magazine to Entertain, Educate,
Enlighten Engage and sometimes
Enrage the listeners.
I couldn’t ask for a better parson to
fill 4-6 p.m. Right on!
I do have more radio in my future.
I’m not sure what shape or form it
might take, but it is most definitely on
my radar. A few ideas are already
starting to bubble…so we’ll see what’s
next.
But for now, I’m taking a break. A
bit of a time out if you will. Between
now and then, rest assured that the
finest radio station on planet earth
will always continue to provide the
best that community radio has to
offer. It takes all of us and always remember that we are all connected and
I’ll be seeing you around Towne...

RUMINATIONS ON THE
Sounds & Songs of Field Recording
OR SOMETIMES KNOWN AS
Chewin' the Cud on Dat Der Music
BY T E N A L I
In the greater scheme of things, songs
cannot be owned. They are passed like
a torch, hand to hand, generation to
generation, a shimmering glimpse into
the halcyon days that never really go
away. From the industrial revolution to
the information revolution, and despite
the what ifs of the world, the song
continues to breath as a luminous
synesthesia. It is a guiding light that
bears our streams of precious memories,
precious times and our precious lives...
With that said, as a teenager in the
early ‘90s, I discovered the exceptional
field recording compilations of the Alan
Lomax Southern Journey series at my
local library. They always made a wonderful companion in the days when I
was making some of those good ol’ mix
tapes (remember those days?). Although
my musical tastes have varied on a
whim over the years, and I love most
eras and genres of music, I still reach
back to the Lomax recordings whenever
I long to hear songs which appear to be
created right on the front porch. Visceral
portraits of sound birthed from the joys
and hardships of our life here on this
whacky planet.
In the late ‘90s, my training in music
software, recording and production gave
me the confidence to try my hand at
field recording. And, making it up as I
went, I purchased some equipment and
practiced recording in the fields and
forests between Milwaukee and Madison, WI.
Later, as I traveled around and moved
out west, I finally got it together and
started recording music at the 2000
Montana Rainbow Gathering, near the
14
“The essence of
America
lies not in the
headlined heroes
...but in the...
everyday folks
who live and die
unknown, yet
leave their
dreams as
legacies.”
ALAN LOMAX
town of Jackson, in the Beaverhead
National Forest. Twelve years later, I
have compiled hundreds of recordings
from a variety of Rainbow Gatherings.
Like any recording project, some have
stood the test of time quite well, while
others, well, they are there for posterity,
I suppose.
Besides Rainbow Gatherings, I have
recorded in the streets, towns, and
forests throughout North America,
Central America, South America, New
Zealand and Thailand. I have collected
various sound bites from city streets, the
jungle, street musicians, campfire chatter and other assorted randomness.
Many of the recordings have been used
in theatrical productions, dozens of
music compilations, film projects, radio
productions, and rumor has it, Pete
Seeger might add a song or two in his
book Where Have All The Flowers Gone:
A Singalong Memoir.
Although field recording may appear
to be incongruous and inconsequential,
and at times it is, yet there are serendipitous moments when it all comes
together and every whisper, sneeze,
chuckle, cricket, crackling fire, or what
have you, clasps hands with the song,
collectively carrying a communion of
sound permeating through the trees,
freckled like fireflies, and flickering to
the stars above. Somehow, these little
aural oddities come complete with their
very own constellation, illuminating the
night sky and waiting there for us whenever we need them.
Music is a reflection of a culture and
I think the corporate dominance and
stronghold on the music industry has
left many people and cultures cold and
without a voice. In some ways it has
separated the connectedness that music
represents. But, despite everything, I find
mediums such as field recording and
community radio to be a vital resource
that offers us an opportunity to share
and to hear the many wonderful songs
and stories that transcend the stresses of
the corporate world—giving voice to the
overlooked and the forgotten.
Exquisitely going from here until
here is there and bringin’ it all back to
the front porch.
VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Jessica Faulks
BY EDY CASSELL
A lot of our volunteers walk in
off the street because they like
what we’re doing and want to help.
Some respond to appeals for new
volunteers that we’ve put out over
the airwaves. Some come through
the courts because they need to
complete some community
service. But one of our newest
volunteers has come to us in a
different way—through the
One-Stop Business Center.
Volunteer Jessica Faulks moved
to the area recently from Sacramento with her family, and went
to OneStop to get assistance finding a job and getting established
in the community. They hooked
her up with us as a volunteer,
with the idea that it would be a
good place for her to network,
learn new skills and solidify old
ones. The problem is, she has
now become so indispensible to
us, that when she does move on
to actual gainful employment, it
will be a bittersweet affair for
all of us!
Jessica loves living in the country after living in Sacramento.
This seemed to her to be a better
place to raise her 3 year-old son,
and she has found that living on
property with ducks and chickens
and dogs is exceeding her expectations. Her lifestyle here is much
more relaxed, and she appreciates
the small town ethic where neighbors actually help and look out
for each other.
Ending up at KVMR was really
a natural fit. Jessica’s partner,
Josh, is a dubstep musician, and
music is a big part of their lives.
Three year-old Kai can already
scratch up a storm on the
turntables!
She loves going out to local
events, and especially loves The
Stonehouse as a venue. Here at
KVMR, she has done a little bit of
everything, helping out in many
different departments.
But the membership department has kind of laid claim to
her, and she has become the main
volunteer membership assistant,
helping with the gargantuan task
of premium fulfillment, as well
as helping with database management, phones, and payment processing. She has promoted our
eScrip program with SPD Market
and increased participation from
14 people to 44! If you are curious about that, please contact our
membership program for more information (see page 6).
We know that our days having
Jessica around may be limited,
and we do hope that she maintains her connection to KVMR
even after she has found a real
job! In the meantime, if you are
looking for someone with a wide
range of skills, a high level of
competency and just an all
around great person, Jessica could
be that person. Thanks Jessica for
all that you do around here!

Moves On
“
Today I engineered my last
program on KVMR. My wife Irene
and I are leaving the area to our
new home in Fort Bragg. I wish to
thank all the broadcasters and staff
of KVMR for giving me such a
great radio home.
Particularly, I want to thank
Program Director Steve Baker for
his tolerance and friendship, Susan
Klein and John Patrick for training
me, former broadcaster/News
Director Mike Thronton for his
kind guidance in public affairs
programing and of course the late
Chamba Lane for entrusting his
program to me for several months
while in Costa Rica.
KVMR will always have a special
place in my heart and I only hope
that my work there added something to enlighten and entertain
our listener. I hope to be back on

Make A Difference
For the Future
M
ost of us can recall being touched personally by
the work of non-profit organizations
such as KVMR, which depend on the generosity of the community
for their existence. It is estimated that 77% of Americans donate
money and time to charitable organizations during
their lifetimes. However, only 8% of us remember to include a
gift to a non-profit in our estate plans or wills. If you’ve made
supporting KVMR a part of your life, why not give a gift for the
generations to come?
KVMR is a member of the Nevada County chapter of
Leave A Legacy, a nationwide program to promote
interest in charitable giving through a will or from an estate.
