THANKS!
Editor's Note:
Media
on my mind. Sounds like a song title. However, being involved with radio has
involved me for the last five years and I just jumped to the next level with
the great help of two people. One who has a wireless IP network -Estes Valley
Networks, Inc - and one who has created a studio to feed the network with video
casting of the Estes Park school sports and events with Estes Park Live. Both
came to me to suggest simulcasting the live programs with our Low Power FM
station and to stream our radio 24/7 on the Internet on EstesParkLive.com. With
the help of our radio people and the network people, we have joined the
thousands of streaming stations. If you have broadband, click on the
EstesParkLive.com page at the "KREV simulcast" banner in the upper
lefthand corner. For dialup, click on the "Live Radio Any Band".
We
have two new domain names for KREV and now I am thinking of streaming (no over
the air broadcasting) programs of "The Spoken Word". Not a catchy
title yet. But I'll come up with something. (Theater of the Mind is taken). I
have not found an Internet streaming of this genre, but there is an XM 163
channel that is providing this genre. There talent of poets, play writers and
authors in Colorado and I would like to bring them to the world by Internet. Of
course, we have many OTR - Old Time Radio - dramas and comedies that are in the
public domain that I can stream on the new web site. But I would appreciate a
response from anyone interested in contributing to this idea (from catchy title
to poems, original stories, plays etc).

Biography:
Stephen Hill
Christian. Family man. Singer.
Songwriter. Guitarist. All of these words describe Stephen Hill. Stephen is
most familiar to fans of the popular Gaither Homecoming video series and is now
concentrating on his solo ministry after years as a session singer.
His
list of credits range from Dolly Parton, Aaron Tippin, Hank Williams Jr., Don
McLean, Mark Lowry, Jake Hess, Ben Speer, Marie Osmond, John Starnes as well as
many others. This versatility and background have served him well in presenting
a varied musical palette for his listeners.
Stephen
is new to the public with his three solo projects: "Nothing In The
World" contains songs written by Stephen and features his latest single,
"I Wonder." "Homecoming Favorites Volumes 1 and 2" deliver
favorite requests from the popular Gaither Video series of which Stephen has
been a part for 5 years. He has been featured on many of the videos, most
notably, "So Glad," "Singin' With the Saints," "London
Homecoming," both "Irish" videos, and has an original song
featured on the newly released "Christmas: A Time for Joy."

Biography:
Woody Wright
Woody said "Since the fall of
2001, I have enjoyed occasionally touring with the Gaither Homecoming Concert
crew. What a joy to see the large arenas full of Gospel fans from coast to
coast, and on other coasts! The Homecoming Cruises have been phenomenal, and
the London/Ireland trip was a blast. The opportunities I have had to
participate in the Homecoming Video series are like icing on the cake. Bill and
Gloria have given me, PONDER, SYKES & WRIGHT, and a host of my song
collaborations a chance to take center stage and make my Mama proud."
"What
a joy to write music, and have some of Gospel music's finest record and release
it nationally. I have written songs all my life, but look how the Lord has
blessed me in the last few years! Thanks to all these wonderful artists for
helping me put my daughter through school!"

Smithsonian's Aging Facilities Threaten
Artifacts
Years
of inadequate financing and maintenance have led to widespread disrepair that
is imperiling the buildings and vast collections of the Smithsonian
Institution, the New York
Times reports. Smithsonian
officials estimate the world's largest museum complex requires $2.3 billion
over the next nine years to solve the most pressing problems -- far more than
the slightly increased congressional appropriations ($621.3 million for fiscal
year 2006, up from $615.2 million). Private donations to the Smithsonian have increased
over the past decade, officials said, but donors tend to direct money toward
exhibitions and programs or to special projects that can be named for them,
rather than to repair plumbing and plaster.
Several
buildings suffer from strained expansion joints, water stains, falling metal
panels, ruptured pipes, damaged roofs, and outdated heating and cooling
systems. The Arts and Industries Building is closed to visitors to protect them
from falling debris, and two enclosures at the National Zoo were demolished
because they posed a danger to animals and visitors. The Patent Office
Building, home to the National Museum of American Art and the National Portrait
Gallery, has been closed since 2000 and will not reopen until next July,
following a $166 million renovation. "These are the nation's
treasures," said Sheila P. Burke, the institution's deputy secretary and
chief operating officer. "Ultimately, we feel protecting them is a federal
responsibility."
Private
donations to the Smithsonian have increased over the past decade, officials
said, but donors tend to direct money toward exhibitions and programs or to
special projects that can be named for them, rather than to repair plumbing and
plaster. Smithsonian officials concede they are partly to blame for the problem
by not letting Congress know the full scale of the need.
"There
is always a battle for resources between programs and facilities," said
Clair F. Gill, deputy director and chief of staff of Facilities Engineering and
Operations. "It's been a combination of people not wanting to express the
true need and not feeling able to express it because of budget caps."
