KRFY On-Air, Live Pledge Drive Line Up: Second Day – Afternoon


This afternoon’s phone bank crew included: Patirce Webb (let), Jacque Knechtges (center), and Jean Cecil (left). They were invaluable at responding to the phone-in pledges and new underwriters calling the station.

The fund raising lineup continued into Friday afternoon, live on-air, with the following interviews and performers:


Rich Del Carlo came in at 1:00 PM for an interview with Jim Healey concerning the rites of Spring: birds and trees. The cool conversation turned to music and the special opportunity we share having our own community radio in north Idaho.


Special guest interviewer, Shelley Allen, talked and listened to local performer, Truck Mills starting at 1:30 PM, playing ukulele, bağlama ( a stringed instrument from the near/far Eastern and Mediterranean lands), and guitar, live in the Mocha Room for the first hour. During the second hour they were joined by Ken Lababerra, a talented musician/singer/song writer, to combine their unique musical stylings and instruments to treat our listeners to a rollicking good time while they contemplated the exact amount to donate during our pledge drive.


Steve Holt from the Eureka Institute paid a visit with Jim Healey in the studio at 3:30 PM to discuss upcoming happenings and educational events scheduled at his facilities in Sandpoint — Eureka Institute, West, (in the Grainery District complex), and at the Camp Eureka (out near Gamblin Lake on the Garfield Bay Penninsula).

At 4:00 PM, Jim was joined in the Mocha Room by special guest, Doug Bond, local performer and song writer with his own special contribution of a live performance that closed this day’s line-up in the KRFY studios.

Phone crew eagerly answering your calls late Friday afternoon: Pamila Hartry (left), Eva Barush (right).

Fund raising continues tomorrow at noon with more special guests and live performances in the studio!.

In Studio Pledge Drive Guests and Performers at KRFY: the Second Day

Volunteer on Friday morning, Jenny Leo, at the phone taking incoming pledges.

This morning, the second day of our Annual Radio Pledge Drive here at KRYF, the volunteers at phone center were taking calls from listeners ready to pledge their financial support and donations to ensure quality, non-commercial, radio programming in north Idaho. The listening audience were treated to the following program:


An interview at 9:00 AM, by Suzy Prez with local master guitarist, Leon Atkinson, giving a history of his musical upbringing and treating the listening audience to his selected, original compositions. We were very honored to have Mr. Atkinson return to the KRFY studios after a long silence since his last broadcast.


At 10:00 AM, Jim Healey had an interview with City Public Works Director, Cody Van Dyk (right), and City Council member, Aaron Qualls (left) with an update about the current plans for reclaiming the downtown-core street traffic flow now that various thoroughfares are once again in control of the City’s jurisdiction after the State highway bypass diverted traffic off the City’s streets.

In-studio performers: left to right — Keegan Bernardin, Torrin Bernardin, Kai Whitley, music performance director, Karin Wedemeyer, interviewer, Jim Healey.

The Music Conservatory of Sandpoint’s director, Karin Wedemeyer, brought three conservatory students in to the studio on Friday morning at 10:30 AM to play in an ensemble of stringed instruments. They performed classical music and had a lively discussion, on-air, with Jim Healey about their studies and the program. Kai Whitley, Torrin and Keegan Bernardin delighted the studio and listening audience with various inspiring, classical selections.

Left to right: Diane Dennis, Jim Healey, Lois Miller — interview about The Cottage benefiting Panhandle Special Needs of Idaho.

Jim Healey had an interview at 11:30 AM with Diane Dennis and Lois Miller from The Cottage of Panhandle Special Needs of Idaho (PSNI), the local, nonprofit store and training center that helps generate much needed funds for our community’s special needs population. They discussed upcoming and ongoing fund-raising events including a drawing for a complete fishing boat, an arts and crafts artisan’s fair (September 7), and their annual Christmas event.


At a little after 12:00 PM, Suzy Prez interviewed singer/songwriter Patrice Webb about her music and latest endeavors. Patrice is also a active KRFY volunteer in the P.R. department — many thanks for all her supportive efforts!.

A note on KRFY funding

How has defunding and closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting affected KRFY? Our station is funded solely by listeners, supporters and underwriters and has never received funding from the CPB. But some syndicated shows KRFY airs will be affected. The National Federation of Community Broadcasters has prepared a statement on impacts of the CPB closure. Click to read it.
