Radio Tierra, a local Hood River community radio station, recently was awarded an $18,400 grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. Anne Key, a Radio Tierra DJ and fundraiser, said the grant will be used to update broadcasting equipment that the station needs to increase broadcast quality.  KZAS Radio Tierra broadcasts on 95.1 in Hood River, 95.9 in Stevenson, and 107.7 in The Dalles. The grant will be used to purchase servers, computers, microphones, and other broadcasting equipment.

“This grant will allow us to buy equipment that will not only update the sound quality of the station but will also make it possible to expand our community based broadcasts to include more guest DJ’s” says Key.“Though we have great community support to cover the basic costs like electricity and licensing, we needed capital investment to upgrade our equipment.  We are grateful that Oregon Community Foundation believes in Radio Tierra, helping us to serve the Gorge area, delivering a high quality broadcast.”

The mission of the Oregon Community Foundation is to improve life in Oregon and promote effective philanthropy. OCF works with individuals, families, businesses and organizations to create charitable funds to support the community causes they care about. Through these funds OCF awards more than $60 million annually in grants and scholarships.

The morning sun stayed veiled behind the clouds, light remaining dim. But the birds and the trees and herbs and the flowers started singing at the first moment of light. The Priestess turned her head toward the chest of her beloved, burying her face and trying to drift back to the darkness of sleep, but the tendrils of light pushing at the veils and the chorus of plants called loudly. Unable to resist or escape the soft morning glow and the green robed choir, the Priestess arose for the day and made coffee for her beloved.
This is the story of a Priestess that awoke one day in a lush and deserted land, long ago and out of time. The morning sun filtered through the slats of her hut, and she turned to bury her head in her straw pallet, pulling a tattered blanket around her shoulders. Warm breath and a distinctive smell broke the spell, and she peered through the slit of one eye. A squared pupil stared back. A sigh arose from her lips, and she smiled at the sweet white goat. Unable to resist or escape the pleading stare, the Priestess arose for the day and began her chores.
These are my stories, the present, the past, the beyond.
