any of us who live on land often gaze longingly at ships going by and wonder what it would be like to live and work at sea. We may have a lot of idealized notions about the reality of it, broadly characterized as “the romance of the sea.” But one group has taken on the quest to quantify that, and assess how happy mariners really are.

issues for people working at sea. Marines expressed the desire for adequate internet access while at sea, as tech services on ships become increasingly sophisticated.

An organization called The Mission to Seafarers recently released the 2019 Seafarers Happiness Index, based on a yearly survey they conduct online of mariners worldwide. Each year they ask a series of 10 questions about life and work at sea. The questions are the same from year to year, and so they can assess trends in happiness in key areas. Among them are satisfaction with work, mental health and well-being, and contact with family and life ashore. The result is an annual happiness index.

Let’s take a look at the most recent data.

Mariners report being held to company standards for fitness and “body mass index” requirements but having little opportunity to exercise enough to meet them.

Mariners on ships the world over have some of the same gripes about work that people on land, with an added caveat: they are at sea for months at a time, without the opportunities for entertainment and distraction that people on land probably take for granted. They are also isolated from family and friends, except for relationships they may form with people on board. This means that problems on board can loom large, and some things we may take for granted on land can become big issues at sea.

The latest data for the Seafarers Happiness Index shows that mariners surveyed are happier in some areas, but also shows that the happiness score has dropped from last year’s index, meaning overall seafarers are less satisfied with their work than they were previously.

What are some of their issues?

While many seafarers feel great pride in their work, isolation, loneliness, and fatigue remain

SUMMER 2019 THE CURRENT

Pay discrimination and racism were cited as issues on some ships in this year’s report. Women seafarers reported lower satisfaction with their work, although the report doesn’t detail why.

WEEKDAYS 8:49AM

by Joanne Rideout

a few quick highlights from the report: The happiest nationalities at sea were people from Southeast Asian and Western European countries.

Officers and deck crew were overall happier than engineering (below decks) crew members.

The happiest age demographic was people aged 25-35.

Captains were generally happier than chief engineers (who are the officers in charge of the engine room and many below deck functions that keep the ship and its systems running).

Seafarers on containerships were the happiest, those on bulk carriers the least.

Food remains a big deal on board, and mariners say the quality of food is getting worse on ships and companies try to cut costs.

If you’d like to take a look at the survey and the questions, you’ll find it online at www.happyatsea.org.

he radio was always on in our house. It helped my mom organize her day, often using the radio programming as a guide for chores. When we were children, if we were driving from our house in the country, into town in the morning, she would tell us to be ready to get into the car to leave the house when Don McNeill’s show was over. If we could tell time, we knew that was at 10 am. If we couldn’t, we were familiar with the closing theme music of the show.

Besides the music on the radio, there was a lot of singing that happened at our house. My mom would burst into a song at any excuse.

Amazingly she regularly knew all the words to all the verses of a song. Her repertoire had a wide range, from Civil War tunes, Sea Shanties, the French National Anthem, to the songs of the Big Band era and WWII. Both my parents loved music and loved to sing. My mom was an alto. My dad sang tenor. He could hit the high notes, like the good Irish-style tenor that he was.

Thinking Back and Tuesday Evening Jazz

PROGRAMMING

My dad was also just a big all around radio guy. He had radios in every room of our house. And he never hesitated to purchase some sort of suggested upgrade or the latest nifty offering in radios. On Memorial Day Weekend he would blast the Indianapolis 500 through an outside speaker set in a tree that was wired to a radio in the house. The speaker sat in a tree that was just off the front porch of our rural home. The Indy 500 blared while the family worked to plant our big summer garden.

Willapa Nature Note

When KMUN started up in 1983, I was just home from college. I was playing music with my first public country and western band, Retta & The Smart Fellas. We performed on KMUN as well as in local clubs and lodges in the area. At some point during this time I began hosting the Saturday morning Country Swing show. Hosting really allowed me to collect and listen to a wide range of music that helped expand my repertoire.

A year or so later, I moved up to Portland where I continued to perform music with various bands and also continued hosting on the radio, this time at KBOO, Portland. It was at this time that I met the Portland born Jazz musician Jim Goodwin, who had just returned from living and performing in Europe. We both were active musicians and shared a love of music. It was our main common denominator. Jim had a very large record collection, mostly of vintage Jazz. We started listening to each other’s music, his Jazz and my Western. It was Jim’s influence and his records that really shaped my appreciation of Jazz and its connection to Western Swing.

After a while Jim and I moved to Brownsmead for a spell. And in the early 90’s, we hosted Tuesday Evening Jazz (the same show I host now) on KMUN. It was also from Jim I learned that good music was good music and though you may enjoy a certain style, it was all interchangeable and intertwined. French accordion music was just as potent as Billie Holiday and Jazz trombonist Jack Teagarden, from the Southwestern part of the country, had similar sounds and sensibilities as the Western bands from the area: Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies. This mix and overlap, to Jim’s ear (and then to mine) informed us that something musical was going on. It was engaging.

Evening Jazz on KMUN has allowed me to follow this tenet and share something that has been a large part of my life. Something that I love. It also allows me to tip my hat to Jim Goodwin and those who have come before. To be able to continue along with my adventures in good music.

Thank you KMUN. Thank you listeners!

– ARETTA CHRISTIE, MAY 2019

You can hear Aretta Christie on Tuesday Evening Jazz, 6-8 PM, Tuesdays on KMUN. She also hosts Country Swing on the 3rd Sunday of every month.

As a vocalist she has appeared and recorded with many musicians including: Jim Goodwin, David Evans, Dan Barrett, Dan Gaynor, Lee Wuthenow, and Dave Frishberg.

1ST & 3RD TUESDAYS FROM 9:30–10AM with Teresa and Jessica

T

he month of may marks the three-year anniversary of the weekly two-minute program, Willapa Nature Notes, on Coast Community Radio. The idea for this program came from a discussion six-months previously, in 2015. I stopped at the Tillicum house to chat about music with my favorite programmer, Karri Gallagher, and she suggested I could become a programmer.

As the newly elected Community Outreach Coordinator for Friends of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, I was thinking of ways to promote the efforts of the Wildlife Refuge to preserve and protect our local wildlife. I conceived a program that would resemble the popular two-minute weekly program Bird Note, but instead of an introduction to birds from around the world, this program would showcase the complete spectrum of wildlife that one may find on an excursion to the refuge.

Since wildlife knows no boundaries, this program could also serve to help listeners identify flora and fauna throughout the lower Columbia Region.

KMUN would benefit from a program locally produced by experts in the field, listeners would benefit from the expert information, and the Wildlife Refuge would get their name spread around the world.

Everyone agreed that this would be a win-win for all, and the partnership between KMUN and FWNWR began. We compiled a team of writers well versed in their respective subject matter and the search for a voice of the program began. I had heard Kitt Fleming perform with the Peninsula Players in Long Beach once, and knew right away she would be the right person to convey our words to the listeners. KMUN offered use of a recording studio, gave us a few short lessons in what to do with it, and we produced our first Willapa Nature Notes on May 4, 2016. Many thanks go out to all who contributed, and especially to KMUN for offering us a platform, and our wonderful team of writers for making it happen.

Progress, progress, progress! Monday April 9, was a big day for KMUN. High atop Megler Mountain, in Chinook, WA, we took delivery of a Nautel NV5LT transmitter which will serve as our primary 5,000 watt source of KMUNFM’s airwaves. Our KMUN's new Nautel NV5LT amazing Engineer 5,000 watt transmitter Gray Haertig was out for a few days guiding Brian and I through the process.

still have to install the lightning protection grounding straps which are 3” wide straps of pure copper, but otherwise, it is mostly ready to go. The most exciting aspect of the new transmitter is that the current Harris transmitter (which still has some life left in it, but who knows how much?) will become our backup transmitter available at the flip of a switch. This is huge for a station like ours

Last month, we also received the new console for the KMUN Air Room. It is made by the same company as our current console, and has many of the same features. The big difference is that those features will work much more consistently and reliably. Our current console has a few “gremlins” (yes, that is a technical term) that cause certain buttons to turn off occasionally.

This includes the button that sends our signal to the transmitter. So you can see why a new console was also high on the priority ladder for replacement! The AudioArts Lighting was installed and configured over several days starting May 13.

These first big steps toward overhauling our broadcast equipment were possible because of you, the supporters of the station.

tillicum pioneers

npr station compact meetings

I have a couple more things to mention in this special Summer Edition of the Current. There are so many good things happening at Coast Community Radio, where to begin? I will start with Roger Rocka. Thanks to Roger, a very special group of station stakeholders have gathered together under the title of “Tillicum Pioneers”. These are the amazing people who formed, incorporated, designed, built, operated, and directed KMUN in the early years. Without them, there would be no Bedtime Stories, Evening Jazz, NPR, Sonidos Latinos, Perspectives, The Conversation with John Orr, Women’s Music or Old Time Radio. (I could go on, but flip to the program guide in the center pages for the whole list of amazing programming found on KMUN/KTCB and KCPB.) The Tillicum Pioneers are already an essential resource for myself and the Board of Directors. After 36+ years, these folks are still lending their support and expertise to the station.

In late April, I attended meetings at NPR’s headquarters in Washington, DC. There I met staff members of NPR, saw the “Tiny Desk”, the newsroom where Morning Edition and All Things Considered are produced, and I met a large group of Station Managers from stations big and small, all over the country. We met to discuss NPR's fee structure.

It was a very healthy and productive session. Coast Community Radio is one of the smallest NPR affiliate stations in the country, and I am happy to report that I was treated just the same as all the other stations in the room.

NPR Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Tillicum Pioneers in action community radio legacy A major strategic goal for the station is to build an endowment fund. This will create interest revenue each year to help fund station operations. Their guidance helped draft our Investment Policy Statement, a document that creates protections for gifts donated to our endowment. Can you feel the sales pitch coming?

Okay, here we go: We would be honored if you considered making Coast Community Radio part of your legacy. Please consider giving a restricted donation or gift in your will to the Tillicum Foundation’s endowment fund. When the time comes, even just 3 or 5 percent of your estate would make a difference toward building financial protection and stability for this critical community resource. Contribute to our endowment and be remembered forever by all who get to listen to listen to the voices of their fellow community members. Thank you Tillicum Pioneers, and special thanks to (early KMUN station manager) Harriet Baskas, who recently made the first restricted donation to the endowment fund. Harriet wanted me to communicate how strongly she feels about the importance of Coast Community Radio, and she urges you, if possible, to contribute financially to both station operations and the endowment.

Thanks Harriet!

I was especially honored to meet and speak with Ellen Rocco of North Country Public Radio. I have a lot of respect for Ellen for her no-nonsense, speak-yourmind approach to communication. Ellen is retiring soon, and I wish her the best as she settles into life on the farm. coast community radio presents: ferry street friday block party july 19!

Finally, I want to celebrate the approach of Summer!

We just got some very good news from the city of Astoria. Coast Community Radio has been approved to present a “Ferry Street Friday” block party on Friday, July 19!!! (see page 2) This will be held on 14th Street (Aka Ferry Street) between Marine Drive and Commercial Street. This is all happening thanks to the hard work of the amazing Emily Geddes of Lodestar Gifts. She is also known as Wednesday afternoon’s “The Mellow” programmer, DJ Sidai. We plan to broadcast live and feature bands, kids activities, a garden of beer and more. Did you know DJ Sidai was KMUN’s “Rookie of the Year” last year? Be sure and tune in for her show every other Wednesday at 1pm.

I wish I had the whole rag to ramble on about all things CCR, but alas, I must end here and check in with you next time. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening. As Wayne Downing from “In the Mood” always says, “I’ll see you on the radio, bye-bye!”

Do you like music? Are you reliable and good with details? Do you like sitting in front of a computer, ripping CDs, while all around you fascinating people and sounds come and go?

Do you want to donate some time to this awesome community radio station?

Then come help us out! We're seeking a few good volunteers to help us convert our CD library. No deep knowledge of any particular genre necessary though we'd love to have one or two rippers dedicated to classical music. Hours vary - we will work with your schedule! Location - the lobby of Tillicum House (where the magic happens).

If you're interested in this or any other volunteer opportunities, email Janet at Janet@coastradio.org

he sun rises, pushing early over the steep purple-gray hills of our own River City and splaying the world with more than a little bit of wonder.

You turn on the radio. It’s still early and classical music greets you like an old friend. Indeed, a friend’s voice trundles out the small speaker that sits in your kitchen, one of the miracles of the last century. Now you brew a pot of coffee and feel content. Perhaps bacon and eggs crackle in an old cast iron pan. Another friend!

Of course, it could be raining.

Yes, a few are professional, and we love them too. How often have you waited with your ear glued to your radio to catch Joanne and the Columbia River Ship Report? Graham is one of the finest managers that ever walked through the front door of the lovely Victorian, another donation that established this house of music, news and community information. We remain forever grateful.

This affair has been going on for some time, and that might mean decades. KMUN and its band of mostly (over 100) volunteers has remained close to your heart.

These programmers are your neighbors.

Recently, the station has begun to develop a long-time project called Planned Giving, an endowment of sorts that will spell out a long-time security and establish a stable future for the station and protect this resource for you.

This is a living will and that endowment is pledged to the station for the next generation.

Call us or drop by. Remember, this is for the future, for ours and our children. And maybe theirs.

We want to grow old together.

This is the point; KMUN is your radio station. KMUN is community, your community, and it has supported you while you supported it. This is a symbiotic relationship .

Woodstock 50th Anniversary Tribute Show

I

did not know much about the original woodstock music festival 20 years ago.

I did know that the Woodstock 99’ was going to be BIG and I wanted in on the action. Some friends and I pitched in our 13 year old cash and we rented the live broadcast of the Woodstock 99’ Concert on a little thing called Pay-Per View. Remember that? We watched the whole mess unfold live on TV. I vividly remember The Offspring starting their set by knocking the heads off of Backstreet Boys manicans.

From there, you could feel the tension in the crowd.

While crowd surfing and “moshing” were popular things to do at concerts in the 90’s, there was something else

Underwriters renew... when they hear from you!

going on with the energy of this mediadriven mess. We continued to watch as concert goers went from moshing to flipping over vendors and starting fires to pallets. The video crew couldn’t help but catch this action on live TV in front of our eyes. It didn’t feel good.

20 years later, I’m hoping that this festival can get back to its’ roots. We’ll just have to see as it now will unfold over social media in front of our eyes. There was some good music in 99’ and there will be some good music in 2019. Come explore the Woodstock 50th Anniversary Lineup with my top pics, the day before the festival for TMF - Woodstock 50th Anniversary Concert Edition.

on morden, who recently passed away, was a classical programmer in the early days of KMUN. He passed the mic onto current programmer Bob Westerberg. Don is remembered for being a good person who helped community radio and the community in general. He was a member the Astoria School Board before being elected to the City Council, where he served for 12 years.

He was involved in the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce and served as president of the Astoria chapter of Rotary International. He was a longtime volunteer at the Columbia River Maritime Museum and a leader in the Astoria First United Methodist Church. He was a member of the church

choir as well as the North Coast Chorale.

One of his proudest accomplishments during his City Council tenure was the establishment of the Astoria Riverfront Trolley and Astoria Riverwalk. He helped to procure and arrange for rehabilitation of the 1913 trolley. He continued for years to serve as a volunteer conductor, and to recruit and coordinate other volunteers.

Don was a man of wide-ranging interests.

Fishing and golfing were among his favorite hobbies in Astoria, and his hole-in-one, on Hole 10 at the Astoria Golf & Country Club, was one of his lifetime achievements.

During his jogging years, he ran several times in the Great Columbia Crossing.

Other avocations over the years included cultivating roses, leather

and wood carving, and playing the harmonica. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Seattle Mariners and the Seattle Seahawks.

Above all, he will be remembered as a kind, generous and gentle man with a wry sense of humor, who was always ready to step up and do what needed doing — and then some.

He was fervently dedicated to his family, his friends and his community.

PROGRAMMING NOTES

Where Were You in 1969?

F

OR THOSE OF US OF A CERTAIN AGE, 1969 was a year to remember. I was 12. Walter Cronkite was on CBS news every night. When he said his tagline: “That’s the way it is.” I had no doubt it was true. The Vietnam War was in our living rooms. Richard Nixon was president. There was amazing music on the radio... and we went to the moon.

My Dad was an engineer (solar power specialist) who worked on the first Ranger lunar missions in the early 60’s. He gave me a deep curiosity about outer space and the future of exploration. That moment in time- when Neil Armstrong set his foot on the moon- was gigantic in scope, not only from the viewpoint of science, but of philosophy and poetry.

How did that event affect you? Join us for a special edition of The Conversation on Friday, July 19th at 9 am as we look back at what happened and look forward to what might be.

I didn’t make it to Woodstock for the original festival in 1969, but I lived a few miles from the site where it took place and went to the 20th anniversary celebration. It was a fairly low key affair with Wavy Gravy, Melanie and Savoy Brown.

A total lunar eclipse took place during... and about 150,000 once again filled the big grassy bowl. You could feel the ‘vibe’ of what had happened there. It was more than the music, it was the energy of so many humans gathering together and sharing an experience that was for the most part peaceful.

It is easy to see why it is looked back on by many as a high point of a remarkable decade... and the best way to celebrate??

Listening to the music from the festival itself! Thursday, August 15th, throughout the day.

Have yourself a musically stimulating 4th of July as DJ Know spins lots of vinyl for you on Thursday, July 4th from 1–5 PM. happy summer, everyone!

Woodstock 50th Anniversary From August 15th to 18th, 1969, the Woodstock Festival (aka An Aquarian Exposition: Three Days of Peace and Music) took place at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in the town of Bethel, New York.

It was supposed to be a two day rock festival for 50,000, but by August 13th, there were already 50,000 people camping near the stage- none of whom had paid for tickets. The promoters had no choice but to declare a free concert and an estimated one million people headed to Bethel. Police turned away thousands of cars. The highways became parking lots as people abandoned their vehicles to walk the final distance to Yasgur's farm. It is estimated that about 500,000 people actually made it to the Woodstock Festival.

Man on the Moon On July 20th 1969, the people of Earth watched as Neil Armstrong took the first step by a human being on the surface of another world. For those of us alive at the time, it was an event of astonishing importance.

Hear these artists and many more as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Festival!

50 years later- we will revisit that moment on a special edition of The Conversation. Call-in with your memories and thoughts about that day. What did it mean to you?

What do you think about space exploration now? Should we keep reaching out to the stars?

thursday august 15 on stuck in the 60's from 1–3 pm

join in the conversation on friday, july 19th at 9 am.

Among the performers were Joan Baez, Melanie, Country Joe & the Fish, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and Jimi Hendrix.

SUMMER 2019 THE CURRENT

East Meets West

every other sunday at 8:30 pm

Host Celeste Endlich recently moved to Astoria after living and working abroad for 2 years in Southeast Asia. In college, she studied sociology, anthropology, and Asian studies. This lead her to living in a city called Khon Kaen in the northeast of Thailand and teaching at the university there. She traveled solo around Asia while writing, exploring, and collecting stories. East Meets West is a show highlighting the syncretism of eastern and western culture, thought, and music. The show will focus on a specific theme each week and be a combination of discussion, story telling, and music. Nonsense poems to serious verse about controversial subjects, poetry for children teaches us about the power of words.

Take a Breath

Bringing your vision to life with quality craftsmanship

thursdays at 3:57 pm

The Take a Breath program invites the listener to participate in a moment of introspection through the ancient practice of pranayama, or breathing exercises. Each technique has been developed to help connect the mind and body—some are invigorating, others more mellow. Breath is our most basic connection between the internal and external, what is seen and what is unseen. Even if enlightenment isn’t your goal, taking a moment to notice your breath can change your day. Host Kelli Daffron is a yoga instructor who has taught classes in Mexico, Guatemala, New Orleans, and Astoria. She currently enjoys breathing as an intern roaming the forest of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.

isteners who are familiar with Coast Community Radio’s weekday morning lineup of programming know that we air NPR’s Morning Edition Monday through Friday from 8-9. I’m the local host for that show, and among the national offerings from NPR you’ll also hear local and regional stories, along with The Ship Report, a ten-minute segment I produce weekdays about maritime topics that takes a look at comings and goings on the great Columbia River that flows past our doorstep.

its stellar music programming. Its well- earned reputation has been created primarily by dedicated volunteers who spend hours compiling the music for their shows across a host of genres.

However, we also have another breed of volunteer programmer, the people who bring you locally produced and sourced public affairs shows. They feature hometown topics and guests, with content you won’t hear anywhere else, about ideas relevant to our Pacific Northwest neighborhoods and listeners.

I thought it would be fun to highlight those people in this issue, to remind you of your many options when you tune in weekday mornings to Coast Community Radio.

After that comes a block of public affairs programming that runs from 9-10 am, and after that our music lineup begins, with folk music until noon.

Historically the station has been best known for

WHAT WILL THIS SUMMER SOUND LIKE?

A

couple of things really hit my nostalgia button–music and summer.

These recent warm, sunny days have reminded me of a time when it felt like I lived outdoors, always on my bike, sleeping in the backyard, hanging out at the lake (think Dazed and Confused, both the movie and literally). Summers were long and hot in Norman, Oklahoma– you couldn’t sleep if you didn’t have air conditioning. So we hung out with friends, on each other’s porches late into the night, trying to catch a breeze, with our elaborate stereo systems providing the soundtrack to our nights of beer and conversation. I had a Yamaha receiver, Pioneer turntable, KLH speakers in the house and JVCs on the porch - have you guessed the

Living in a Midwest college town full of hippies, cowboys, freaks and autodidacts provided me with a peculiarly eclectic musical landscape - I recently came across an August 1979 cassette mixtape that contained Leon Russell, Hendrix, King Crimson, Merle Haggard, The Slits, Robert Wyatt, Gong, Runt and Patti Smith!

Anything was allowed (at least once… except Disco) and it all served as the background music to our summer meanderings.

That’s something I really love about listening to KMUN and working here at Tillicum House - the wildly eclectic mix of people, perspectives and shows.

I love the familiar songs I hear within Lost Highway, Crossroads, Thursday & Friday Folk but there are always tunes I’ve never heard or forgotten about. It’s that combination of the known and the new that keeps this listener intrigued.

While I love the warm fuzzies that nostalgia taps into, it’s great to explore new, or new-to-me, music.

I remember (gently) mocking the Scandinavian Hour when I started working here–now it’s one of my favorite shows! The music of Rhythm Lounge, Evening Jazz, Up Next, Alt Latino–(too many shows to mention, check out the program schedule RIGHT NOW)–opens my ears and engages my mind.

So I ask myself–what will this summer sound like? Longer days, warmer nights, a sense of stretched-out-time… more moments to stop and listen to the birds, the ocean, and the radio!

Thank you volunteers!
