  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).

E-mail me at artsnews@lpbroadband. Thanks!

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."
