Emily Addison - President and Chair Hi my name is Emily Addison! This is my third year being involved with the Board of Directors at Trent Radio. I have been Secretary and President in the past two years. I also am a Programmer and Operator at Trent Radio. I love Cape Breton music - I play the piano for fiddlers and I stepdance. If I'm not doing schoolwork then you can usually catch me at Trent Radio or in front of a piano somewhere (preferably in Inverness County)! Glen Caradus Al Kirkcaldy I am 47 years old. Attended UWO and graduated with a degree in English and Film. I am a life-long resident of Peterborough and have been employed as a manager with Employment Planning & Counselling-Peterborough for last eleven years. I have been doing a blues show (blue in the face) on Trent Radio since October of 1998. I also chair the Sponsorship Committee as a member of the Trent Radio board of directors. Just recently, I was asked to do a blues column in The Wire beginning in Feb/01. Blues is a hobby and passion. Most of my spare time is devoted to listening to or learning about the blues. Darryl Leroux Darryl Leroux is a 3rd year Native Studies student at Trent. He hosts a weekly radio show on Trent Radio, "The Time is NOW!." He loves being at Trent Radio- the wafting smell of coffee, the friendly people, the bursting creativity- and thoroughly enjoys living in Peterborough. He finds Trent Radio's role as a community radio station increasingly important in the face of growing centralization of mainstream media sources. Reuben Maan My name is Reuben Maan. I'm a 3rd year English/Spanish major here at Trent University. Last year i participated in the Trent year abroad program to Mexico. My interests include travelling, reading, sports, music and radio. In my 1st year I had a show on live music in Peterborough. Currently I have a show on World music and world issues as seen in the Peterborough community. I also work at Trent Radio as studio trainer. Neal Simard - Secretary Too easily amused by the skewed mundane. One fall night Neal was walking down Younge St. waiting for a bus back to the patch of Peter when he caught sight of a tiny brown mouse in a sex shop window. It weaved (wove?) beneath the high heels of black leather clad mannequins. An elderly Sikh man and a trio of swishy Asian girls stopped to watch too. The mouse scurried away. The people all smiled at each other. Five months later Neal still thinks of this. Neal is studying Outdoor Education and is a Trent Radio operator on Monday nights. Miriam Stucky - Vice-chair I've been involved with Trent Radio on and off since 1995. My roles have included volunteer operator (1997), producer of wee interviews (96-98), and contributor to programs (ongoing). My main interest lies in talking to people about the creative work they do in Peterborough. I'm especially interested in locally produced theatre, dance and film endeavours. I'm currently working as a Community Arts Reporter, producing written, audio and video pieces, and trying to get more media coverage for six local arts organizations; The Peterborough Arts Umbrella, 4th Line Theatre, Artspace, The Canadian Canoe Museum, Celebrate Canada in the Kawarthas and the Market Hall Performing Arts Centre. In 1999 I worked as Arts and Entertainment Editor at Arthur. I've lived in Peterborough since 1994 and gratuated from Trent with an Hons. B.A. in Cultural Studies and Native Studies in the spring of 2000. my email is miriam@pipcom.com. Please feel free to be in touch. Barb Woolner - Programme Director John K Muir - VP and GM John Muir continues to be passionately devoted to the oral/aural tradition. Its through this discipline that he has gained skills and twenty-five years experience as a broadcaster, administrator & technician. Mr. Muir's experience began as a chorister in Ottawa and continued in England where he learned something of the art of campanology at a village church, and radio communications with the British Army. Later, he apprenticed as recording technician at Electronic Music Studios (EMS) Putney Bridge, England, while working as an assistant sound technician at concerts in London and on the road. Upon returning to Canada to learn what it might mean to be a Canadian and entering Trent University in the autumn of 1975, he caught the radio "bug" and produced and directed many hours of radio drama, news and features programming. In 1978, Mr. Muir was one of the founding directors when Trent Radio applied for incorporation and was instrumental in establishing Trent Radio's first studio in 1979, moving the organisation to its present location on George Street in 1985 and making application to the CRTC for Trent Radio's first broadcast licence. After thirteen years of service he left Trent Radio to work as the general manager of a music festival with R. Murray Schafer; as a free lance producer and concert engineer; and the administrator for Artspace, which was then, an artist run centre for visual art, performance and communication. Mr. Muir is well versed in Canadian radio practice, having worked for twelve years as a commercial radio announcer, and devoting his university (B.A. Cultural Studies) and on going studies to an analysis of broadcasting, musics, and orality, etc. Returning to Trent Radio in August 1995 as General Manager, John is most concerned with trying to create an environment conducive to the production of exceptional radio through the confluence and ethos of "social advocacy" and the "cultural avant-garde".
