KMUN will hold a pledge drive March 14-20. The long hours of research and preparing questions for a guest during local public affairs or the hours and focus it takes to curate a 2-hour music program, comes down to this: Opening up the microphone and inviting the audience into a partnership for the duration of the show. Partnership, because not only is it important for a radio station to have listeners (KMUN has 30,000 weekly listeners) but also for the community to know that this is your voice in the region.

NICE START--As I begin this column, the air is crisp at just 27 degrees and the ground is white with thick frost but the sun is shining and it looks like this Super Bowl Sunday is going to be a really pretty day. Unfortunately the work week looks to start out pretty wet and so does the coming weekend, but at least a few days in there should be dry, so it looks like we’d best hurry and take advantage of these dry spells while we can. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Feb. 17-23 are Vickie Reid, Jade Mahitka, Alyssa Stratton, N...

DRY BEGINNING--As this week begins, we are seeing some sunshine after a cloudy start so that’s a welcome sight. We had a decent day on Saturday as well, so a weekend of dryness was very pleasant indeed.

Once those dry days get over, the forecasters are saying we are in for a weekend and more of rain, so while we’ll be warmer, we’ll...

Last week the forecast for snow on Thursday did indeed show up but thankfully did not last as long as the batch before that. As we march into March, we are hopefully heading into warmer weather, but then again, I’ve seen it snow in April at Easter time! TURNING IN EARLY--As I begin this column, I’m told that we have a high wind advisory being posted and a scheduled PUD outage for my particular...
