A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
By Frank Napp
WDVR Is No Longer A Teenager.
On Friday, February 19th,
WDVR marked its 20th year of
broadcasting. From its very humble beginnings as a 500 watt,
monophonic station, with handme-down equipment, an antenna atop the municipal water
tower and a transmitter in a garden barn, it has grown to be a
5000 watts, stereo, regional outlet heard around the world. And it
was all made possible by you,
our faithful listeners and underwriters.
2
We’ve been very busy at
WDVR. In 2009, with revenue
from our listener-funded building
fund, we completely rebuilt our
studio facility by removing all our
old analog equipment and installing new, state-of-the-art, digital technology. In the process
we added a second air studio, finally allowing us to instantly
switch studios for a seamless
transition between programs. A
new production studio was also
added to allow for off-line recording sessions without conflict or
disturbance with the continuous
24/7 on-air activities.
At the WDVR transmitter site,
some 4-miles north of the studios, things have also been popping and likewise very alive with
activity. In the eighteen months
ending June 2009, we completed installation of a new, 180foot, guyed tower and enabling
us to have a new much higher
antenna. The antenna, almost
double its former height, is giving
a stronger signal to our fringe
areas.
But our work didn’t just involve
elbow grease and perspiration
because behind the scenes the
engineering wheels were slowly
turning, computers were hum-
ming and filled-out forms were
being sent to Washington; and
with good results. I’m happy to
announce that we now have
construction permits to build two
new broadcast outlets. A new
station in Easton on 90.5 Mhz,
and a new translator in Stroudsburg, on 99.5 Mhz. We hope to
have them on the air within 18
months.
None of this could have been
done without you. WDVR is an
all-volunteer, non-profit, noncommercial station and you play
the most important role. We
hope you will once again support
us during our Spring fundraiser.
We have plans to serve you
even better in the coming years.
Please stay tuned.

My Week In Haiti
By Hilary Murray
Imagine you’ve lost your home, and
you live in a tent now. All of your belongings are gone and what you know
as home is now a 20x20 foot dark
green Red Cross issue tent. And this is
a luxury compared to another refugee
camp we saw, where they only had
thin sheets hung up to separate families. My husband Sean and I spent one
week with 15 others from the area, on
the border of Haiti & Dominican Republic, in Jimani, with Foundation For
Peace. We had two projects: working
at a refugee camp called Camp Hope,
building latrines for the 500 plus families living in tents in a field and helping
patients in the hospital across from
where we stayed: a large house that
was owned by a Dominican doctor
who had loaned it out to relief organizations .
A large pit was dug for the latrines, 20
feet wide by 15 feet straight down. It
took a lot of shoveling, and we worked
side by side with other Haitians.
I also worked in the ‘hospital’, transporting patients to the OR, assisting
the doctors & nurses, who came from
all over the United States. There were
3 operating rooms, recovery and an
ICU; I saw many amputees, and other
injuries among the patients who stayed
in four tents, of about 30 families each,
who were in various stages of recovery. Their families stayed with them in
four tents set up next to the hospital.
The refugees would then be moved to
Camp Hope or another temporary tent
camp, known as l ‘Love a Child’, an orphanage that opened its land to house

Camp Hope (right). Hilary is the host of

It isn’t easy being a professional cat.
Years of experience and unparalleled cleverness keep a cat like myself overly busy.
Producing my weekly feature “Blossom’s
Kit Kat Chit Chat” requires extra napping to
stay sharp. Response to the various cat
scandals and tidbits presented has been
rousing thanks to our large audience of cat
lovers. The subject of cats is more interesting than anything else and can easily fill the
airwaves.
Our listeners are quite eager to call in and confess how many kitties
they have. Cats have even meowed into the phone! On the radio only
WDVR has the good sense to include matters of cathood. Here we are

600 refugees, who were rehabilitating
from amputations, and other orthopedic injuries.
The Haitians I met were resilient,
grateful, joyful, holy and beautiful.
Where they could have been grim, instead they seemed grateful just to be
alive, to have survived; they smiled
and showed gratitude for the simplest
gestures of kindness. There was sadness as well, as people with lost limbs
were now faced with an uncertain future. In a most undignified setting,
those who I met retained their dignity,
and were given as much privacy as
possible, quietly washing their loved
ones as they lay there in their hospital
bed, as any loving family would do. I
knew they needed clean sheets. I
found a running washing machine, as I
knew hygiene was important, to
staving off infection and other contagions, and so began to collect soiled
sheets to be cleaned. That much we
could do. And that we did. I also gave
out clean clothes to some who I was
able to speak with in English, as my
Creole is limited. It is amazing to see
the affect that a simple smile has on
others. The book ‘Don’t Sweat the
Small Stuff’ by Carl Anderson, never
held more meaning to me than it does
now. It is a sobering experience to be
in a third world country and then come
back to home. I recommend this type
of trip to anyone who has not been yet
to visit a third world country, it’s a life
changing experience.

for the shellac disc 78 rpm records.
Vinyl 45’s & 33’s really increased in
popularity in the 1950’s because they
sounded much better, were cheaper to

old records are still available at the few
record shops that still remain in some
cities and suburbs. Tim likes to frequent the local thrift shops on a weekly

Make Your Sunday
Brunch A Celtic Feast
Celtic music at brunch-time (11 AM to
1 PM) on Sundays--is now a decadelong tradition on WDVR. It began in
1999 with a show called The Mists of
Avalon that was hosted by Walt Haake.
The show's name changed to Celtic
Sunday Brunch in 2004 when the hosting duties became shared by WDVR's
team of Celtic hosts.
These days that team consists of
Walt, Eileen Fisher and Carla Van Dyk.
Eileen, who also hosts WDVR's Currents & Traditions late Thursday
evenings, has been with WDVR since
its inception 20 years ago. In addition
to Celtic Sunday Brunch, Carla hosts
The Sound Alternative and Arriba, both
on Wednesday afternoons. Walt's
other show is After Hours, late
evenings the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of
each month
The Roots of Celtic Sunday Brunch
"Each of us became interested in
Celtic music in our own way," says
Carla, "but for all three of us radio
played a big role."
Here's how Eileen describes her
awakening to Celtic music. "In a misspent youth I listened to a lot of country and a lot of opera. Then I heard
hammered dulcimers on WPRB's
Music You Can't Hear on the Radio. I
borrowed Malcom Dalglish and Grey
Larsen's Banish Misfortune from the
radio. This event is free and open to
the public, but a nominal tasting fee
will benefit WDVR. Participants
wishing to taste must
be 21 years-of-age or
older with valid ID.
Wine lovers, listeners
and the public are
urged to stop by for
the afternoon. Additional Clinton Falls
merchants will also be
making donations to
WDVR on May 2, stay
tuned for updates.
For all the event details contact WDVR at
609-397-1620 or visit
wdvrfm.org
local library. The title cut is my first recollection of hearing Celtic music as opposed to Irish music or Irish-American
muisc.
Walt's story is similar. "During a brief
stay in Copenhagen in 1974, I became
friendly with a Scotsman named Frank
who played in a traditional band called
McEwan's Export. Frank played whistle and pipes, and his band included a
Swedish fiddler, an Irish accordionist,
and a Danish guitar player. Their
music seemed to trigger something
with me. When I returned home-Philadelphia at the time--I discovered
the radio program The Unicorn on
WXPN, where I heard more of this
amazing music. I listened every Sunday evening and recorded every show
on cassette until I moved out of the
area and could no longer get the station."
For Carla, "Celtic music was in the
background of my life, listening to noncommercial radio steadily since the
early 70’s. Once at WDVR, I became
more attracted to its soulful songs and
uplifting rhythms."
Judging from comments they receive, Eileen, Carla and Walt are doing
a good job of introducing this soulful,
haunting and uplifting music to WDVR
listeners near and far. "Our listeners
seem especially attentive," observes
Walt, whose website, www.themistsofavalon.com, provides playlists and
archive recordings of the shows he
hosts.
Balic of Clinton was opened by
Joan Schaming and Ronald Williams
in the fall of 2004, with a vision of
creating a unique wine boutique in a
historic town. Balic of Clinton features over 20 wines from
Balic Winery of Mays Landing including: reds, whites,
semi-sweets and six fruit
wines (Blackberry, Blueberry,
Cherry, Cranberry, Raspberry and Pomegranate).
Free tasting is offered daily.
The shop also offers gourmet
foods, wine accessories, gift
baskets and personalized labeling. Balic of Clinton also
offers private wine tasting
parties. For further information and shop hours, please call 908713-WINE.
Celtic Then and Now
What are the trends in Celtic music?
Here's what WDVR's experts have to
say. According to Carla, "It seems to
have become more diverse and not
just bouncy pub music or mournful
tales." Eileen adds, "I think it's bigger
now, with room for more experimentation."
Walt hears the music changing in
terms of instrumentation, production
sounds and the incorporation of elements from other genres. "Yet," he observes, "the recordings of the great
groups of the late 1960s and early
1970s--Planxty, The Chieftains, The
Boys of Lough, Clannad, Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span--continue
to inspire younger artists."
Playing Favorites
Here are some current favorites of
WDVR's Celtic team.
Carla: "A Mediterranean Odyssey,
the new Loreena McKennitt release,
is of great interest. She is the most
creative artist coming out of a Celtic
style background to me."
Eileen: "Bill Whalen's Cononmmara
Suite is a new classical piece which
evokes a sense of place and includes
traditional lilting and fiddling."
Walt: "Two local groups, Burning
Bridget Cleary and Runa, have produced delightful and innovative
recordings that I can't seem to get
enough of. Both groups, by the way,
have performed live on Celtic Sunday
Brunch.

WDVR-FM 89.7/91.9
Celebrating 63 Years in the Music Business
Congratulations Dr. Ralph Stanley
By Susan Rose Bluegrass Breakfast, 6:00am -9:00am, Wednesdays
He was born in the hills of Virginia on
February 25th, 1927 to parents Lee
and Lucy Stanley. They named him
Ralph Edmund Stanley. A quiet fellow,
who, to this day, does not say much,
but when he does talk, you better stop
what you are doing and listen, because
his words have a lot of meaning.
As a youngster growing up in rural
Virginia, Lucy taught Ralph how to play
the banjo. His unique style, the clawhammer style, sometimes called the
Stanley style, has become a trademark
for Ralph. It was in 1946 when Ralph,
along with his older brother Carter,
formed their band, The Stanley
Brothers and The Clinch Mountain
Boys. You may call it Bluegrass,
or Old-Time Music but devout fans
call it Traditional Mountain Music.
It is music with a soul, speaking
from the heart. Songs that talk
about life, whether about the hard
times, good times or just the
everyday happenings of rural day
to day living. Traditional Mountain
Music speaks out truthfully, loud
and clear.
The Stanley Brothers continued
performing together until the untimely passing of Carter in 1966 at
the age of 41. Ralph persevered
and continued to perform with The
Clinch Mountain boys, while inspiring many young musicians along
the way.
Still performing today, Ralph has
received many honors, including
an honorary Doctorate of Music from
Lincoln Memorial University, of Harrogate, Tennessee, in 1976. Many folks
know Dr. Ralph Stanley from the work
he contributed to the 2000 movie, Oh
Brother, Where Art Thou? Dr. Stanley
won a Grammy Award for Best Male
Country Vocal Performance for his Appalachian acappella of the song ”O
Death”. With a number of merited
awards, it is only fitting to have The
Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional
Music Center open their doors in Clintwood, Virginia in 2004, not only to
honor Dr. Stanley but to educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of
the surrounding area of the Appalachians.
Along with Dr. Ralph Stanley and the
6
Directors of The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Music Center, I
would like to take a moment to personally thank them for showing me the
time of a lifetime during a recent visit
to Kingsport, Tennessee. That is
where the Directors and friends of the
museum celebrated Dr. Ralph’s 83rd
birthday event. Along with a delicious
southern style dinner, talented musicians, including the Tymes 2 Band of
Clintwood, VA, Morehead State University Bluegrass Band, with Raymond
McLain of KY, Tim White and the VW
these fine folks. Truly, a DJ’s dream of
a lifetime. Thank you so very much Dr.
Ralph Stanley, not only for your graciousness, but also for sharing your
music with a worldwide audience.
I made a promise to my friends at
The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Music Center down there in
Clintwood, VA, that I would visit soon.
Their web-site is www.ralphstanleymuseum.com . Better yet, next time you
are looking for a place to visit, stop by
this unique state-of-the-art museum
that will lead you through the history of
Traditional Mountain Music through the
story of Dr. Ralph Stanley. Like
WDVR, the museum is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit entity. I guarantee that you
and yours will have a great time there.
Don’t forget to tell them that the gal
from NJ, Susan Rose, recommended
your visit.

Boys from TN, The East Tennessee
State University Band, The Nathan

Jones, and a surprise visit from Del
McCoury, the evening was one spectacular event. I was overjoyed to meet
so many new friends, including a DJ
named Becky Johnson from WMMTFM (online at www.appalshop.org), a
fine young lady who I found out has a
lot in common with another DJ, yours
truly.
After such a wonderful event, what
would it take to top it off? Why breakfast with Dr. Ralph, his lovely wife

Katy Stone is one of the newest
members of the WDVR family and is
the hostess of Katy's Late Nite Kafe
heard each Sunday nite from 9:00 p.m.
until midnite EST.
Katy came to WDVR in March 2009
through a recommendation from her
cousin Ann Smith, also a host at
WDVR.
Ann knew that Katy was a radio announcer during and after college and
that Katy was interested in going back
to announcing. When the Polka Party
had an opening for an announcer, Katy
became the party's hostess from April
through December 2009.
Katy started in radio at Centenary
College's 91.9 WNTI-FM. From there,
she worked at 1330 WNNJ-AM in
Newton, NJ, 1510 WRNJ-AM in Hackettstown, NJ, FM-106, WFMV in
Blairstown, NJ and 1230 WEEX-AM in
Easton, PA. She has also done guest
announcing at 102.3 WSUS-FM in
Franklin, NJ and 105.5 WDHA-FM in
Dover, NJ.
Katy says her love of broadcasting
stems from watching the Mary Tyler
Moore show in the '70's. She says,
'The first time I saw that show, I
thought I wanted a career in television.
After taking both television production and radio announcing classes at
Centenary, the choice was clear and I
knew immedicately that radio an-
nouncing was what I wanted to do."
Some of the artists Katy enjoys playing at the Kafe include John Mellencamp, Fleetwood Mac, Melissa
Etheridge, Bob Seger and any artist
her listeners would like to hear. She
loves talking
to folks and
taking/playing their requests. She
is currently
living in Bayonne,
NJ
with
her
husband
Katy Stone
Wally (who
can be heard on her show from time to
time) and her two cats Lizzie and
Blanca.
Katy invites everyone to listen in to
Katy's Late Nite Kafe every Sunday
nite from 9:00 p.m. until midnite EST
for the best in classic and lite rock,
some laughter, some warmth and
some cheer, only on New Jersey's diversification station, 89.7/91/9 WDVRFM. You can also find her on the web

The Art of Remote Broadcasting
By Jim Jordan, Audio & Remote Engineer
A remote is all about communication from one place to another. It’s a
process of setting up a portable studio at a distant location and delivering an air-worthy audio signal to the
main studio. The process also includes an audio mixing board, microphones, audio amplification and
speaker system for the “ln-house
audience”. There are several ways
to deliver the audio product to the
studio--A microwave radio link, a
digitally enhanced phone line or via
the Internet.
Each remote venue is different, so
there are many things that can interfere with the feed. For example,
when using a phone system, problems pop up when using an officetype
computerized
telephone
system or a dedicated Fax line. It is
vital to have close access to phone
lines, AC power outlets, safe cable
routing and at outdoor events a
shelter for the equipment is a must.
So an in-depth survey must always
be made well in advance of an
event to prevent unhappy, broadcast-day surprises. Of course, some
events are easier than others but it
always comes down to choosing

the best equipment to do the job.
For what I call a simple remote-one used for interviews and limited
musical performances of one to five

mixing board and speaker system.
A full musical event remote would
require a 20 channel mixing board,
larger sound system amplifiers and
speakers. The Heartlands Hayride
is an example of a full remote. The
Hayride production requires the
help and cooperation of our experienced technical staff. On Saturdays,
Len Werner, Tim bush and I are all
active in the pre- planning and operation. In addition, at least one person must be back at WDVR studios
to monitor the remote audio levels,
do station breaks and to take control in the event of a malfunction.
For the Hayride, which airs between 6 and 8 pm, the equipment
set-up, the show and the equipment
break down afterwards, usually
gives us a remote day that runs
from 2 in the afternoon to 10 at
night. It’s the magic of radio, but
even magic takes experience and
hard work and we love every minute
of it.

Dear Friend:
Your Donation Truly Makes a Difference
WDVR is no longer a teenager. We celebrated our 20th Anniversary on February 19. That
means for two decades we have been providing you with “Radio At Its Best”. In this ever-changing
world, there are some things we hope will never change. They are the things we have come to rely
on, things that make us feel safe, an old friend, a familiar voice – someone that makes you smile, or
even laugh. Radio is one of those constants. If you are like most of us, you look forward to turning
on your radio and finding those familiar voices are still there.
For the last 20 years, we, at WDVR, have been there. You’ve come to rely on us and we
have relied on you. You have put your faith in us by supporting our mission.
Because of your unfailing support, WDVR is different from other radio stations on the dial.
We are independently owned and operated. We are able to program each day free of outside pressures and influences. We can be innovative. Each of our show hosts chooses music they want to
share with you. As a result, you receive a blend of musical styles and artists, served with a lot of anecdotes, information, humor and knowledge. They play the music they know and love and hope you
will enjoy it too. Our talk show hosts spend many hours searching for interesting and important topics and guests who inform, entertain, and provide help during life’s difficult situations.
However, our independence holds risks because we are non-commercial and non-profit and
survive only by financial donations you and listeners like you provide us during our on-air fund
drives. Please take the time to join in supporting WDVR. Your donation ensures that we can continue to buck the trend of “Cookie-Cutter” radio. You will be doing your part to ensure that we remain
independent and true to our mission.
Thank you, and please stay tuned and tell a friend.
Sincerely,
The Staff and Management of WDVR
