in the news Going green with less greenery

Doing our small part to decrease water consumption and beautify our immediate surroundings at the same time, KRCB has re-landscaped the area across the front of our studios. We began by eliminating the high-maintenance lawn and covering those areas with a layer of cardboard (shown in the upper photo), to discourage ant persistent sprouts from attempting a comeback. Existing trees and shrubs were pruned and shaped and augmented with selected new drought-tolerant plantings, and then surrounded with a healthy layer of composted mulch (special thanks to Sonoma Compost for that). The final result is now in place to welcome visitors to our Rohnert Park home base, and continues to be maintained by regular visits from the landscape crew from Becoming Independent.

KRCB in the community

KRCB’s 25th Anniversary Party A quarter century is ample reason for a party, so KRCB was pleased to host a 25h anniversary celebration a few weeks back. Former employees, board members past and present, long-time supporters, volunteers, and local elected officials joined current staff savored the spread from Pearson and Co. and mingled happily at Paradise Ridge Winery well past the gorgeous sunset.

Dear Member, As KRCB, like every other non-profit and for profit business, searches for the right, successful, and appropriate way through this recession, it seems like a good idea to let you know what we are and are not doing to meet the challenge. What is perhaps the most important to convey is that we continue to move forward in our understanding and harnessing of the promise and potential of the convergence of our four delivery platforms—radio, television, web, and community engagement. All of public broadcasting is engaged in this same search: how do we use the new and the old tools together to successfully serve our community. Adding new widgets and gadgets in and of themselves is not community service, any more than the latest social networking tool is.We will continue to explore these tools to identify which will help us deliver new and richer community service to you. And we will use those electronic tools to make your membership participation in KRCB easier. Renewals and newsletters by e-mail can become the norm, if you choose. And, while we do need to institute a day a month furlough for all staff members, we are structuring it so that it should not interfere with your service. What we are not changing is the core public broadcasting television and radio service; the service which you have supported with your membership. You make it happen! Nancy Dobbs President and CEO

KRCB honors our veterans The Next Mission

Inspired by the very different stories of two Vietnam War era vets, The Next Mission is a personal look at America’s preparation—or lack thereof—for the almost two million returning veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Scott Cameron was an 18-year-old enlistee in the U.S. Army in 1968. After coming under enemy fire while in a helicopter, he was wounded and has never fully recovered either physically or mentally. The Veteran’s Administration classified him as 100% disabled due to post-traumatic stress disorder. Will Wilson, on the other hand, graduated from West Point in 1963 and served in Special Forces. His best friend was killed in action but he returned from Vietnam unscathed physically, only to realize that he suffered from post-traumatic stress. He eventually decided to return to school, earning a Ph.D in psychology and specializing in military mental health. Cameron and Wilson are both concerned that the military and civilian society are not prepared for the men and women returning from combat. Sunday, November 1 at 11 pm

Tattooed Under Fire

Tattooed Under Fire is a unique, intimate, characterdriven portrait of Iraq-bound and returning US soldiers as they go under the tattoo needle: openly professing their pride, sharing their secrets and confessing their fears. The tattoos cross lines of gender, class, and political affinity revealing the inner lives of young men and women as they live through the horrors of the Iraq war. Tuesday, November 10 at 9 pm

Student to Citizen Film Series Generation M: Misogyny In Media & Culture

Despite the achievements of the women’s movement over the past four decades, misogyny remains a persistent force in American culture. In this important documentary, Thomas Keith, professor of philosophy at California State University-Long Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism in mainstream American media, exploring how negative definitions of femininity and hateful attitudes toward women get constructed and perpetuated at the very heart of our popular culture. The film tracks the destructive dynamics of misogyny across a broad and disturbing range of media phenomena: including the hyper-sexualization of commercial products aimed at girls, the explosion of violence in video games aimed at boys, the near-hysterical sexist rants of hip-hop artists and talk radio shock jocks, and the harsh, patronizing caricatures of femininity and feminism that reverberate throughout the mainstream of American popular culture. Along the way, Generation M forces us to confront the dangerous real-life consequences of misogyny in all its forms—making a compelling case that when we devalue more than half the population based on gender, we harm boys and men as well as women and girls. Featuring interviews with gender violence prevention educators Byron Hurt, Jackson Katz, and Jean Kilbourne. Tuesday, November 10 at 10 pm *Mature Content

The segments that include stories about animals, marine research and researchers, underwater exploration and recent discoveries. The stories always have an underwater theme and feature stunning underwater photography. We follow the adventures of Jonathan as he attempts to learn about the underwater world and the creatures that live there. He is both the host and one of the cameramen, so his camera’s perspective is part of the adventure, and the narration is in the first person, from his point of view. Sundays at 5 pm

NPR examines the future of automobile transportation

Millions of Americans grew up riding in cars without seat belts, air bags or anti-lock brakes. In 1969, the drivingrelated fatality rate in this country was 5.0 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles of travel. Because of changes pushed by safety advocates, today’s rate is about 1.2 deaths. Still, more than 30,000 people will die in traffic accidents this year. Roughly 600 will die over the Thanksgiving holiday. What’s being done to make driving even safer? All Thanksgiving week, NPR will present a series of special reports on how new technologies, road designs and behavior-changing campaigns can save lives. Among them are: • New devices which help keep drivers from falling asleep at the wheel • Built-in breath-testing devices that can immobilize cars • Warning systems that can reduce collisions • Advanced guard rails that can withstand impacts without launching vehicles. Additionally, these reports, which will be featured on both Morning Edition and All Things Considered, will examine some complex policy issues and social consideration around driving: • Can engineers come up with something better than the cloverleaf intersection? • Have changes in penalties and awareness really reduced drunken driving? • The ongoing tension between fuel efficiency standards and safety • Aging drivers are already a big problem in Florida. Are other states prepared for the coming wave of Baby Boomers? •The crumbling infrastructure (bridges, roads) and its impact on safety Listen for this weeklong series of special transportation reports from National Public Radio, beginning Monday, November 23.

The Last Year in the Life of the Beatles

Although their fans didn’t know it, the music The Beatles were making in 1969 turned out to be the last recordings they would ever make as a four-some. When John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr gathered in the studio the day after New Year’s that year, the last chapter of their remarkable journey began with the sometimes contentious Get Back / Let It Be sessions. The band’s business affairs began to unravel soon after and several members’ minds started drifting toward getting off The Beatles’ merry-go-round. Still they managed to pull off one final masterpiece, Abbey Road, before being photographed together for the last time in August and formally closing the book on the Beatles early in 1970. Award-winning producer Paul Ingles continues his documentation of The Beatles’ story with The Last Year in the Life of The Beatles, a two-hour special that chronologically follows the band through 1969 as they record their final tracks, struggle with their company, squabble with each other, pursue other interests, and ultimately split apart. Listeners will hear behind the scenes studio chatter, rehearsal takes of songs, and finished classics, mixed with informed commentary from a host of music writers, musicians and fans. Clips from news events and other classic music from the tumultuous year that ended the 1960’s will also be blended in. Thanksgiving 8-10 pm

Literary Wednesdays A fiction trifecta on A Novel Idea

A Novel Idea celebrates a bounty of stories and writers with three authors this month. Occidental’s ever-astonishing Chester Aaron, has just been awarded a 2009 Moonbeam Award in Young Adult Historical Fiction for his recently re-published novel, Gideon, a story of the Warsaw ghetto uprising and the uprising at the concentration camp of Treblinka. Stefanie Freele’s work has been called “micro fiction” for its clarity and brevity. Sensitive and unruly, sincere and absurd, Stefanie Freele’s Feeding Strays is a collection of fifty short stories about children, family, relationships, and oysters. Freele is the fiction editor of the Los Angeles Review and an editor of SmokeLong Quarterly . Writer and photographer Beth Carpel’s “biker book” Assembling Georgia is the story of a Minneapolis chicken-factory worker who begins receiving motorcycle parts through the mail. Who is sending her the parts, why, and how it changes both their lives is at the heart of this twisting tale full of humor and emotional depth. All this on A Novel Idea, Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 7 pm.

Friedrich Hölderlin and Rebecca Foust on WordTemple This month on WordTemple, The Selected Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin, will be read and discussed by the translators, poets Maxine Chernoff and Paul Hoover. Hölderlin (1770-1843) made his mark with Greek-inspired odes, unorthodox (and always unfinished) hymns to imagined gods and real European places, and elegies on love—all written before 1807 when he suffered a mental breakdown. The Selected is a wonderful introduction and immersion into the work of this “sublime visionary, great religious poet attracted to pagan myth”—a poet of world-historical importance. Also, Rebecca Foust talks with host Katherine Hastings and reads from her first two award-winning collections, Dark Card; and Mom’s Canoe. Dark Card focuses on the experience of raising a child with Asperger’s Syndrome. The poems in Mom’s Canoe center on place — the Allegheny Mountain Region. Wednesday, November 18 at 7 pm

Celebrating Family and Friends on Saint Paul Sunday November 1 – Celin and Pepe Romero, guitars The mastery and spirit of the late Spanish guitarist Celedonio Romero lives on in two generations of guitar virtuosos. This week his sons Celin and Pepe return to the studio and reveal how the Romero legacy comes alive with every performance. They’ll bring us music of the illustrious Spanish tradition—guitar solos and duos of Albéniz, Granados, Falla, and Torroba—as well as an enchanting prelude by Brazilian composer Hietor Villa-Lobos. November 8 – OPUS ONE, Tsontakis, Martin, Brahms When they’re not performing with either TASHI, or the Guarneri and Orion string quartets, the accomplished soloists of OPUS ONE join forces out of a warm mutual admiration for each other’s artistry. In their most recent visit to Saint Paul Sunday, violinist Ida Kavafian, violist Steven Tenenbom, cellist Peter Wiley, and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott offer us some of the most spirited piano quartets in the repertoire— works of Mozart, Brahms, and Martin—side by side with arresting new music of another collaborator, composer George Tsontakis.

Anne-Marie McDermott

November 15 – Claude Frank, piano Celebrated pianist Claude Frank is a living link to the great Romantics whose music he has enlivened for over half a century. This week he brings us works of two of them—Beethoven and Schumann—along with a beloved sonata of Mozart. He concludes with Beethoven’s epic Opus 110 sonata, a signature work for pianist and composer alike. November 22 – Anonymous 4 with Darol Anger & Scott Nygaard The four singers of Anonymous 4 depart from their a capella tradition and invite a few friends into the studio with them as they bring an all-American program of ballads, shapenote tunes, and folk hymns. Darol Anger accompanies on violin and mandolin, along with guitarist Scott Nygaard. Your spirit will dance along. November 29 – Divertimento There is something delicate and satisfyingly spare about a violin, viola and cello moving intricately around one another in a continuous and constant whirl of sound. The string trio Divertimento joins Bill this week on Saint Paul Sunday. Violinist Soovin Kim, violist Michael Tree and cellist Margo Tatgenhorst Drakos play little-known trios of Beethoven and Czech composer Bohuslav Martin, and they’ll show us exactly how just three of a kind is sometimes…just enough. Sundays at 11 am

Music about music on Flashback

This month, Flashback focuses on songs about music itself, something that musicians tend to give considerable thought to. Host Bruce Robinson has choraled sample songs from such notables as the Beach Boys, Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Good Rats, Country Joe & the Fish and more. It’s often joyful and celebratory—but not always, as you can hear Tuesday, November 3 at 7 pm.

Recalling Mouthful’s First Year

And a Look Into the Future of “The Wine Country’s Most Delicious Hour”

By Michele Anna Jordan Fourteen years ago, Robin Pressman, newly installed as program director for KRCB-FM, called to ask me about doing a radio show. It seemed like a perfect idea, given my lifetime as a passionate lover of radio. When I arrived at the station a couple of weeks later, on November 2, 1995, to do the first show, Robin said, “We need a name. Do you have one yet?” “All I’ve come up with so far is Mouthful . . .,” I offered hesitantly. “Okay, Mouthful, that’s it,” she replied. I walked into the tiny studio and an engineer indicated that the microphone was on. “Welcome to Mouthful,” I said for the very first time. A year later, we added the Wine Country’s Most Delicious Hour to Mouthful and shortly after our first anniversary, we moved from Thursdays at noon to Sunday evenings at 7. Just a few months into our third year on the air, we received a James Beard Award nomination, not bad for a show with no budget and a staff of two volunteers. We now have four James Beard Award nominations. And we hope there will be more to come. As Mouthful enters its fifteenth year, it remains an all-volunteer endeavor. We are looking forward to an improved local signal, greater internet presence and new features. Mouthful’s Recipe of the Week will return, not on the air but posted on our Web page (www.krcb.org/ mouthful). Over the next few weeks, you will notice other additions and changes. We’ll have wine reviews, food news, book reviews and essays as part of the show. Details about upcoming shows are posted on Mouthful’s Facebook fan page, with links to make it easy to learn more about the week’s guests, their books, their restaurants, their farms, their events and their products. It has taken longer than I expected when I wrote the first edition of A Cook’s Tour of Sonoma in 1990 but, finally, the nation knows what those of us who live here have long understood, that Sonoma County—call it the Redwood Empire, call it the Wine Country, call it home— is one of the most blessed places on earth, with an unrivaled agricultural abundance and natural beauty that inspires artists and artisans of every kind.

The Nerve – Music and the Human Experience Music is found in every culture worldwide. It’s our constant companion, from birth through childhood, love, marriage and death. It has a starring role on every stage of the great human drama—whether we are at war or at prayer, by ourselves or with others, happy or sad —music is there. But does it really have a purpose? Where does it come from? And why does it have such power over our hearts and minds? The Nerve, a new series from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, set out to find answers to these questions. Tuesdays at 7 pm in November and December.

Nov. 10 – Wired for Sound: Music and the Brain Host Jowi Taylor takes you on an aural journey, from the creation of sound at its source, through the air and the outer ear to the cochlea, the spinal column, and the cerebral cortex. On the way, you’ll hear about how and why hearing evolved, and how the human ear is designed to react to certain sounds. Why do we hear some sounds as music, and other sounds as noise? Just what happens when the human brain and music become dance partners? Nov. 17 – In the Key of DNA: Music & Evolution Why did music evolve in the first place? Darwin himself was puzzled by music. Observing songbirds, he suggested music’s role was in sexual selection. Others believe music’s origins may be found in the mother-infant interactions we call baby talk, while some theorize that music developed in tandem with the social cohesion necessary to the survival of bands of early humans, critical to them through its power to strengthen social bonds. Nov. 24 – The Pipe, the Drum and the Thunder Run: Music & War Military music is meant to stir the blood. The Israelites used trumpets to bring down the walls of Jericho. The Scots went to war with bagpipes. And every army has a band. Music can even be an instrument of torture, as when the U.S. Army uses music to “forcibly interrogate” its prisoners.

Make the Most of Your Gifts As you consider your giving plans this fall, remember that incentives for making charitable gifts continue to be an important part of our nation’s tax laws. Gifts of cash as well as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other assets continue to offer very attractive tax benefits, but only if completed before the end of the year. When you pause to plan your giving, consider the consistently high quality of programs and services KRCB provides to you and your family and how much the greater community benefits as the result of thoughtful gifts from people like you, the good friends of KRCB. Don’t miss the advantage of giving to KRCB in this tax year. A generous donation right now will benefit you, your family and your community. Want more ideas?

KRCB Volunteer of the Month: Linda Seabright Three years ago, accountant Linda Seabright went to bed one night and woke up the next morning remembering her dream: She was talking on the radio! The dream compelled her to pick up the phone book and look for nearby radio stations where she could volunteer. The first one she called was KRCB, where Robin Pressman answered the phone. Before long, Linda was no longer dreaming; she was learning the ropes of radio announcing. Now, after many months of guest hosting and filling in as needed, Linda has a show of her own, one that features Americana, roots, blues, jazz and southern soul music. It’s called On the Road Again, reflecting the fact that Linda herself is on the road a lot. She visits New Orleans several times a year, and recently produced a special show for Radio 91 listeners on the anniversary date of Hurricane Katrina featuring New Orleans’ musicians talking about the healing power of music. When Northern California was having its own high-impact storm a couple of years ago, Linda braved the winds and rising waters from Marin County to Rohnert Park just so KRCB would have a morning announcer. She was the only person here that morning. You can hear Linda’s On the Road Again every other Thursday night at 8 pm alternating with the Freight Train Boogie with Bill Frater on the other Thursday nights. To learn more about Linda, New Orleans, and the music she loves, go to lindaseabright.com
