Don Merrill is a relatively new volunteer here at KBOO, and has been on the air mostly as a news reporter. However, he’s also taken it upon himself to do a web only show called “The Talk”, where he interviews some of the more famous people who request air time on KBOO, as well as community advocates, authors, and anyone he feels like talking to!  I appreciate his willingness to jump into the studio with anyone, and his ability to create interesting and insightful audio.  Here is an interview I did with Don in October, 2012.

Introduce yourself...

 *Hi, people.  My name is Don Merrill and I do interviews.

What brought you to KBOO?

*I came to KBOO because I have always liked community based anything.

Eugene and Sushli, co-hosts of "Tillicum Wawa" will return next Thursday show!!! They were sorely missed on the last show dedicated to the appreciation of the overwhelming response by our listeners, to our coat and warm cloths drive for the kids on the Pine ridge Reservation in So Dakota!! We will continue to keep you all informed as to when and how the cloths are getting shipped ,by God's grace, to the children.!!!!

It was so great of our many listeners to really care about the plight if the children on the US Governments' rez lands.

I kow that when all the people really see what is happening on the rez's of this country, they will come together , once again, to see that the proticol for the rez's will change for the better! OHO

The collapse of the U.S. banking system in 2008 had been forecast years before it happened......But no one wanted to listen!

 Hello dear comrades -

As you know, the website crashed in a big way on Tuesday night.... and it didn't come back up until Thursday morning.

The crash corrupted the website databases -- which contained all of the content on the website. According to Wikipedia, "The word corrupt (Middle English, from Latin corruptus, past participle of corrumpere, to abuse or destroy : com-, intensive pref. and rumpere, to break) when used as an adjective literally means utterly broken."

The website, when it came back up, was restored with a backup. The backup appears to have been done at some point soon after midnight on Tuesday morning.

November 27, 2012

Regrettably, at the Board of Directors meeting, Monday, November 26, 2012, Director John Mackey was removed from the Board, for conduct harmful to the corporation.

Specifically, Mr. Mackey was removed for disclosing information during a public session of the Board, October 22, 2012 ─ information that he had previously acknowledged was not appropriate for public disclosure, but should only be discussed in a closed session of the Board of Directors.

Mr. Mackey knew that the information was not appropriate for public disclosure. On at least two occasions, Mr. Mackey stated that the information should be discussed in closed session. Mr. Mackey publicly disclosed information he knew should not be, disregarding his own advice.
