KUER 2012 Annual Report and 2013 Calendar
KUER's 2012 annual report to the community in the form of a 2013 calendar.
2012 Annual Report and 2013 Calendar John Greene, General Manager Sincerely, Below, and throughout this calendar, you'll see the many accomplishments of 2012 that KUER's staff and you, our donor family, have made possible. We are indebted to your generosity for making these accomplishments possible and look forward to another dynamic 12 months of civic engagement, global perspectives, and fellowship. As always, we remain dedicated to the role of informing our democracy. KUER and its mighty band of superheroes have never been stronger. As KUER's core constituents in this amazing service of public media, I want to leave you with a few dreams and ambitions for the future. Looking ahead to the near term, we're working on projects including VideoWest, a video component to our daily interview program RadioWest hosted by Doug Fabrizio. In addition, you'll be hearing about a web-based, KUER music feature. And finally, next spring we'll initiate service to the Torrey/Teasdale, Capital Reef area. Looking further down the road—and waiting for a miracle—we hope to strengthen our service to St. George. The miracle would be finding an available frequency. Together we're keeping our link in the grand network of public media strong for the Intermountain West. While all of these technological milestones thrill those of us behind the studio walls, the real jewels in this period of growth have been the enhancements of our locally produced news and information programming and the impact of KUER's Social Good programs on our non-profit partners and the communities they serve. With the help of our loyal supporters, KUER will remain an important source for investigative journalism in our region and an important convener of resources for the many non-profit organizations that serve our citizens in need. We witnessed this powerful outpouring of our audience's generosity during our Fall Fund Drive when listeners donated 30,000 meals to the Utah Food Bank. Over the past five years, KUER staff and supporters have achieved an amazing array of accomplishments through pure grit and generosity. Since the launch of our Broadcast for the Future Campaign in December 2007, KUER's signal has expanded throughout the region with the growth of our statewide distribution network and new technological platforms. In addition, KUER now offers HD and online listeners three distinct program formats. As a result KUER—and that includes staff, donors, and community partners—has maintained the leadership position in public broadcasting throughout the Intermountain West. And we have surpassed even our own ambitions by moving our transmission operation to a new home atop Bonneville Corporation's magnificent broadcast facility at Farnsworth Peak. Dear valued listeners, generous members, and committed community partners, Greetings from John Greene In tandem with the University's mission, KUER enriches the people of Utah and the region through discovery, creativity and dissemination of knowledge; fosters reflection on the values and goals of society through civil discourse; and, enriches our citizens through community engagement. To that end, KUER is committed to building a community of world citizens through story and art, discussion and debate, sound and creativity. Our programs reach over 300,000 people across Utah each month and thousands more across the nation with a blend of news, information and entertainment in an unbiased, non-commercial context. In addition, KUER creates an ongoing source of service and support to vital community organizations. KUER's Mission Statement communities and touched lives with the help of our volunteers and listeners. With 30,000 meals provided to Community Outreach and Social Good programs benefited , KUER featured one of the fastest-growing programs in public broadcasting—Radiolab. Hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich weave stories about science and technology into sound and music-rich documentaries in their awardwinning radio show, podcasts, and video shorts. KUER was thrilled to sponsor Radiolab's on-stage debut in Salt Lake City as Jad, Robert, the Pilobolus dance troupe, comedian Demetri Martin, and singer/songwriter Thao Ngyuen entertained and mesmerized audiences. On the National Level expanded their reach into the community through partnerships and collaborations with many organizations including the Hinckley Institute of Politics' Siciliano Forum on "The Future of Journalism," remote broadcasts from the Sundance Film Festival, documentary film screenings at the Rose Wagner Theatre with the Utah Film Center, and a new series with the Lucky Peach, a quarterly journal of food and writing. Also in 2012, Plan-B Theatre Company treated audiences to the seventh installment of Radio Hour, a live stage production and broadcast starring KUER's Doug Fabrizio as Sherlock Holmes. RadioWest under the direction of Terry Gildea who joined the team as News Director just one year ago. Since then KUER's award-winning news team has added new voices, produced in-depth series on issues from Medicare to the Olympics, created a new online feature called The News Pod and provided extensive local coverage during the November elections. Local News came into its own in 2012 reached new heights with the relocation completion of our main FM/ HD transmitter from Mt. Vision to Farnsworth Peak— one of the most sophisticated broadcast facilities in the West. Located in the Oquirrh Mountain Range, this new site offers engineering-supported services 24/7, a helicopter pad, and round-the-clock staffing. Thanks Statewide Service friends and followers grew through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube with thousands of users checking-in to engage with fellow listeners, current programs, follow breaking news, or pick up a pair of tickets to a local concert. Social Media hours to help staff booths throughout the community this summer at concerts, farmers markets, and fairs. Volunteers stocked shelves at the Utah Food Bank and helped answer phones during our fund drives. Volunteers donated a record number of throughout our state provided KUER with a record amount of in-kind support—$373,665—to benefit our events, social programs, fund drives, and operations. Some of our most generous partners included Red Butte Garden, GAM Foundation, Utah Symphony and Opera, Salt Lake Film Society, Viking Cooking School, Lifelong Learning at the University of Utah, and Great Harvest. Generous Partnerships the Utah Food Bank and truckloads of warm clothing and blankets for the Crossroads Urban Center, KUER's family of support brought comfort and camaraderie to our fellow citizens. Doug Fabrizio, Steve Williams, and other KUER staff played central roles in many community activities and fundraisers. All in all, KUER served more than 3,000 organizations in 2012. 2012 Accomplishments These and other amazing accomplishments made 2012 one of the best years for KUER staff, donors, partners, and listeners. Thanks so much for your investment! and recognition validated our donors' investment in KUER. • Voted "Best Public Radio Station" by Salt Lake City Weekly's readers • RadioWest won first-place for Best Public Affairs/ Talk Show from the Utah Society of Professional Journalists and producers Elaine Clark and Ben Bombard were awarded "Dynamic Duo" by Salt Lake City Weekly • Gold medals from Utah Broadcasters Association were awarded for: Best News Reporting in a Series by Terry Gildea, Dan Bammes, and Andrea Smardon; Best Feature Story or Program by Andrea Smardon; and Best Feature Story or Program by Dan Bammes An Array of Awards to our dedicated supporters that helped us hit this milestone by investing $358,000 in technology. At the end of fiscal year 2012, KUER's revenues exceeded expenses by a little more than $161,000. These monies were added to KUER's opportunity fund. Were it not for this fund, we wouldn't have been able to purchase the broadcast license to reach into Logan and Cache County. As presidential elections over the past 20 years have taught us, the federal government is not the most reliable business partner. KUER's fiscal year 2012 grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) totaled $220,000. While we're grateful for that support, political opposition to our government's funding of public radio and television, coupled with the pressing need to address the nation's deficit, lead us to believe that these funds cannot be guaranteed in future years. Which means that the financial support from our community of listeners—businesses, foundations, and individuals—is more important than ever to ensure KUER's future success. Arguably the best shortcut to understand any business is to examine as closely as possible where the business derives its revenues and how they apportion those revenues into different expense categories. The charts presented here break down the sources of KUER revenues and how those revenues were spent. During KUER's fund drives, we talk about listener support being our single largest revenue source, which it is, and that programming costs are our largest expense, which is also true. These graphs provide the totality of KUER's revenue and expense activity. With a budget of just over $3 million, KUER is almost precisely in the middle of public radio stations ranked according to budget size. • Operations: 3% ($90,005) • Local News: 20% ($565,945) • Programming: 36% ($992,150) • Engineering: 13% ($336,637) • Development: 20% ($ 563,496) • Administrative: 8% ($227,706) Expenses Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 • Miscellaneous: 1% ($23,556) • Foundations: 4% ($120,000) • Corporate Underwriting: 23% ($680,000) • Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB): 8% ($220,000) • University: 15% ($456,129) • Membership: 49% ($1,452,402) Revenue Steve Williams, Jazz Music Director and Host Karen Migacz, Membership Assistant Terry Gildea, News Director John Greene, Station General Manager Brian Grimmett, Web and News Pod Coordinator David Childs, Weekend Operator Elaine Clark, Producer for RadioWest Amy Fowler, Accountant Simone Seikaly, Weekend Operator Abby Reyes, Membership Assistant Ja'Naye Payne, Underwriting Manager Bob Nelson, Reporter and All Things Considered Host Chuck Waagen, Jazz Host Susan Kropf, Development Director Doug Fabrizio, Executive Director and RadioWest Host Tristin Tabish, Content Director Chad Johnson, Website Producer Gayle Ewer, Marketing and Community Engagement Manager Becky Youkstetter, Major Gifts and Individual Giving Manager Dwight Woolfork, Weekend Operator Andrea Smardon, Reporter Michael Havey, Operations Manager Whittney Evans, Reporter Tim Slover, Weekend Operator Emily Harris, Underwriting Assistant Benjamin Bombard, Producer for RadioWest Conor Bentley, Weekend Operator Dan Bammes, Reporter and Morning Edition Host Mike Anderson, Announcer and Jazz Host Nastaran Alimadadi, Membership and Database Coordinator John Greene General Manager, KUER 90.1 Lewis Downey, Chief Engineer Lee Hollaar Professor, University of Utah Angela Brown Editor, Salt Lake Underground Magazine KUER Staff Fred Esplin VP for Institutional Advancement, University of Utah Constance Lundberg Attorney, Jones Waldo Holbrook McDonough Toni Lehtinen Community and Grants Manager, George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation Peter Cole Owner, Squatters Pub Brewery Charlie DeLorme Economic Development & Visitor Services Director, San Juan County Spencer Kinard Board of Trustees, University of Utah Steve Chin, CPA, CRS Deer Valley Real Estate Robert Brinton Attorney, Brinton & January Peter Billings President, Fabian & Clendenin Law Firm Robert Bayer President, JBR Environmental Consultants David L. Buchman VP and Community Relationship Manager, Wells Fargo Bank KUER Advisory Board Fiscal Year 2011 – 2012 (continued) Ghosts, ghouls, shades from the past... in this episode of Radiolab, real-life people try to pin down, and make peace with, mysterious figures that haunt them, prod them, and fade out of existence. One man finds a way to put the beatdown on his personal boogey man, a dead monk spurs a king to build a perfect prayer machine, an unknown face launches a thousand dummies (actually, a whole lot more than that), and a skeptic goes on a one-way journey to find out whether spirits exist. Radiolab, Ghost Stories In honor of Father's Day, host Kurt Andersen heads to the rifle range with writer Joel Stein, the author of Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity. A cab driver bonds with his son over the love of opera. We check in on our rebranding of Canada with the head of Bruce Mau Design. As the European economy teeters, we see how it's affecting the 1% who are congregating at Art Basel, Europe's largest art fair. Studio 360, Dads Man Up and the Art Market Bubble David Rakoff died a week ago, on August 9th. He'd appeared on This American Life 25 times, first in 1996, during the third month of the show; his last appearance was just three weeks ago. He was on the program so often that in putting together this week's show, we realized we could tell a lot of his life story, simply through things he said on the show. So this week we do just that, with excerpts from some of his favorite stories over the years. This American Life, Our Friend David To the Best of our Knowledge, This American Life, A Prairie Home Companion, Selected Shorts, Studio 360, and Radiolab are just a few of the programs featured on 90.1 each week that bring a diversity of voices into your car, office, home—and heart. Absurd, profane, unsettling, enlightening, profound… the narrative woven throughout KUER's programming schedule can inspire, transform, and keep you waiting in your car long after you've reached your destination so you can hear how a story ends. So relax, settle in, and let someone share their story with you. Storytelling is at the heart of what public radio does best. Whether the story is a long-form news feature about the healing power of art from a classroom in war-torn Syria, or great actors from stage, screen and television bringing incredible stories to life in front of a live audience, stories knit together the experiences that create the connections that help us better understand one another as human beings.

And what separates public radio journalism from any journalism? Radio gets inside us. Lacking earlids, we are defenseless, vulnerable to ambush. Sounds and voices surprise us from within. As radio documentary makers, we have this tactical advantage over our colleagues in print, film, television, and photography. Our tool is aural story, the most primitive and powerful. Invisibility is our friend. Prejudice is suspended while the listener is blind, only listening.

We transitioned to a new NPR Digital Services web platform that allows us to feature more online content, including local news. We also launched our Twitter feed (@KUERNews) to point listeners to our stories and keep them informed, especially during breaking news events. A new podcast, KUER's News Pod, was introduced where listeners can keep up with daily news. 2013 is shaping up to be another important year and KUER News will continue to be there, connecting you with the people, places, ideas, and stories that help shape your life. We began our 2012 election coverage with the state party conventions in April and continued to follow candidates and campaigns throughout the season. KUER News filed more than half a dozen Utah election stories with NPR, broadcast nationally on Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition. On election night we covered Utah's races on-air and online with a live blog at kuer.org. It's been a heavy news cycle this year and KUER News has traveled throughout the state to bring you stories from communities far and wide. We launched the year with extensive coverage of the 2012 general session of the 59th Utah Legislature. In February we produced an award-winning fivepart special series looking back on the impact of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games held in Salt Lake City. We hired new reporters and restructured the beats reporters cover to include business, healthcare, energy, the environment, religion, and immigration, among others. After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the Affordable Care Act, reporters in the KUER Newsroom produced a special four-part series to consider the issue of whether or not Utah should expand its Medicaid Program to include more people throughout the state that need health coverage.

RadioWest is built around stories, but there are as many stories in the world as there are people to tell them. As a way to keep the show fresh, the RadioWest team recently devised a system to imagine the types of conversations we're having—from big thinkers and big ideas to shared experiences and how things work—thinking about the show in different ways helps the team create a distinct tone for each show, and helps bring listeners a variety of ideas from the world's past, present, and future. As RadioWest Host and Executive Producer Doug Fabrizio likes to say, "RadioWest is not talk radio... it's a radio conversation where people tell stories that explore the way the world works." RadioWest works because it's a simple conversation—people engaged in a give-and-take of sharing and listening.

In 2012, Steve represented KUER as an emcee and special guest of the Salt Lake Symphony Vienna Ball, the Equality Utah Jazz Brunch, the Gallivan Center Renovation Celebration, the Utah Arts Festival, and GAM Foundation's JazzSLC series at the Capitol Theater.

Steve Williams has compiled a list of artists and recordings—the movers and shakers of the jazz scene—to help you get started. The entire list is available for download at kuer.org. Love Jazz Music But You're Not Sure Where to Start? —Ella Fitzgerald Forgive me if I don't have the words. Maybe I can sing it and you'll understand. Each night, KUER provides a respite for listeners from their busy days. Host Steve Williams invites you to put your feet up and unwind as he infuses your evening with a distinct mix of jazz music. Born in Manhattan at the end of WWII to a big band dad and a dancer mom, Steve was destined to a life of music. Influenced by his father's woodwinds, Steve picked up the clarinet and saxophone and later studied music at the University of Utah.

On behalf of our community partners, thanks to the many individuals, corporations, and foundations that help improve the lives of our friends and neighbors. KUER rings in each holiday season by partnering with KUED, UEN, and the staff of the Eccles Broadcast Center to host a food and clothing drive. Thanks to KUER listeners during our Spring Fund Drive, TreeUtah planted 400 trees. During the Fall Fund Drive, AARP Utah, and KUER contributors provided a record 30,000 meals to hungry Utahns. We're so proud to receive such overwhelming support, and to be able to direct resources back into our community. In 2012, KUER partnered with TreeUtah and the Utah Food Bank by offering listeners the opportunity to support each organization in lieu of receiving a thank you gift. With our community outreach efforts including our Social Good program, media partnerships, and public service announcements, KUER continues to address the needs and concerns of local communities throughout the region. In 2012, KUER added 600 organizations to our online community calendar. That's a total of 3,100 organizations represented, with 35,000 public service announcements aired! In addition to providing unbiased, non-commercial content, KUER enriches lives by remaining an advocate of local and statewide communities.

With these partnerships, KUER supports listeners and community partners alike. KUER is dedicated to creating an ongoing source of service and support to vital community organizations. —Spy Hop Productions Board of Directors and Staff On behalf of Spy Hop Productions, we thank you for your support of our 2012 Annual Benefit, our first ever sold out event. Our success would not be possible without the generosity and support of local businesses that embrace Spy Hop Productions' mission to empower youth. —Angela Brown, Craft Lake City Festival Director On behalf of the board and staff of Craft Lake City, I want to thank KUER for your generous sponsorship for our fourth annual Craft Lake City.

It was truly special—what a team you've developed. Many thanks and we'll talk soon. Community Engagement After six episodes (2005 – 2010) and a year off, KUER and Plan-B Theatre Company returned with Radio Hour Episode 7: Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle. The live radio drama follows Holmes and Watson as they discover how the Countess of Morcar's stolen jewel came to be inside a Christmas goose. RadioWest's Doug Fabrizio played Holmes, X96's Bill Allred played Watson, and Jay Perry and Jason Tatom played everyone else. Stay tuned for the next installment of Radio Hour in December of 2013. Radio Hour Episode 7: Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle On the brink of the 2012 presidential election, KUER hosted the political satire troupe, the Capitol Steps. The group has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and throughout the year on KUER during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials. The cast sang musical parodies about the hilarities of the election race while constantly changing props and attire. The evening's performance ended with a special reception with KUER staff and members at Abravanel Hall. Capitol Steps Lynne Rossetto Kasper of APM's The Splendid Table visited Salt Lake City in May for KUER's first Savory Salt Lake event. Restaurants from around the Salt Lake Valley represented their favorite dishes while KUER members sampled and tasted the culinary creations. Guests voted for their favorite dish while enjoying delicious libations and desserts. At the conclusion of the evening, Zy Restaurant was announced the winner. Stay tuned for KUER's second Savory Salt Lake event in 2013. Savory Salt Lake KUER hosts numerous events throughout the year in an effort to introduce listeners to like-minded individuals, supportive community partners, and fascinating national personalities. These events range from small cooking classes to large music concerts. In 2012, KUER hosted more than 35 events including film screenings, live theater, political satire performances, and food gatherings.

Utah's generous foundation community is a strong component of our local programming services. From dedicated supporters of RadioWest including the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, the Lawrence T. and Janet T. Dee Foundation, and the B.W. Bastian Foundation, to the supporters of our broadcast technology efforts like the Crawford Family Foundation—KUER is privileged to have the support and confidence of Utah's stalwart families. We are so grateful for the wide array of interests and missions represented by these foundations, including ongoing support from the R. Harold Burton Foundation for our Social Good programs, the Stephen G. and Susan E. Denkers Family Foundation, and the Willard L. Eccles Charitable Foundation for keeping the tradition of jazz music alive and vibrant for our community. Foundations KUER is fortunate to receive support from Utah's vibrant business community, with more than 200 businesses providing 22% of KUER's annual operating budget. These underwriters represent Utah's economic diversity—companies that focus on education, banking, healthcare, technology, marketing, non-profit services, arts, food, and spirits. Many of these businesses also assist KUER with food for volunteers, offer challenge grants during fund drives, sponsor KUER events, and trade goods and services, all of which helps KUER to thrive and expand. Underwriters KUER is grateful for its vast network of community support. The largest piece of the "community support pie" is made up of KUER members, a generous group of nearly 10,000 listeners. Our members each contribute an annual gift of $100 or more to the station. Just 5% of our total statewide audience actually donates to the station. We consider these members our KUER superheroes! This year we saw a 17% increase in some very special superheroes, KUER sustainers. Our sustaining members give ongoing gifts (mostly monthly) to help provide a stable source of monthly income to the station. KUER also continues to see growth in our "Circle of Friends," those that give $500 or more to the station. In 2012, this core group of nearly 500 supporters enjoyed special events featuring public radio personalities like Lynne Rossetto Kasper and the hosts of Radiolab. They also mingled with fellow listeners and staff at events such as our chocolate tasting classes, live concerts, and museum exhibits.

For more information on becoming a KUER volunteer, please contact Nastaran Alimadadi at 801-581-7322. Volunteers play vital roles in all non-profit organizations and KUER is no exception. The majority of our volunteers help during our on-air pledge drives by answering phones and taking pledges. But more and more, our volunteers are offering their help throughout the year. On any given day at KUER you can find volunteers stuffing envelopes, mailing thank you gifts, and making promotional items like fans and buttons. Volunteers helped spread awareness of KUER this year by staffing booths at the Millcreek Community Market, Park Silly Sunday Market, Craft Lake City, and select Red Butte Garden concerts.

A study released Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests glucosamine pills do not provide relief for lower back pain. The study, conducted at Oslo University Hospital in Norway, looked at 250 people over the age of 25, with chronic low back pain who also had degenerative discs in their lower backs. Researchers gave half of the patients daily doses of 1,500 miligrams of glucosamine. The other half received a placebo.
Here's what they found: there was little difference with patients who took glucosamine compared with those patients who took the placebo. Lead study author, Philip Wilkens, who's also a research fellow at Oslo University Hospital, says "glucosamine is not going to help the patient better than the placebo…in terms of chronic low back pain."
Every year Americans spend at least $50 billion on treating their low back pain and it's one of the leading reasons why people miss work. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage and is commonly used to help with low back and knee pain.
So if you take glucosamine for back pain, what should you do?

The Comptoir Gascon is a very french bistro, including the french speaking serving team. The restaurant has wood decor which makes it ideal for a bistro, with wine bottles and ham hanging near the counter. Our food was superb from the starter to the dessert, we could not fault it at all. We would highly recommend this place and plan to return in the near future.

A very lovely evening. Food and service were both fantastic
(((** 20 June 2012 by Chancery Lane diner from London
We had dinner here at 9pm; the restaurant was still full and there was a nice ambience. We were given a (very small) glass of wine, and the three courses were all fairly small as well. The desserts - creme brulee and chocolate pudding - were tasty, as was the lamb main, but the ravioli resembled a cabbage soup with tiny bits of pasta floating in it. I imagine the chicken dish would have been much better, but unfortuntately it had run out by 9pm. Overall, it was fine, but nothing special.
((((( 6 January 2011 by Caidrac from London
Great starter of piggy treats, and the pigeon was also very good. A nice place to have a quiet meal with one or two friends.

Fairfield Inn and Suites: New Hotel Convenient to SFO
We were originally scheduled to arrive in San Francisco from Chicago for the start of our 11 night/10 day trip at around 10:50 p.m. at night but because of the weekend rain that San Francisco was having our plane didn't leave O'Hare in Chicago until almost 10:00 p.m. Chicago time and we finally arrived at SFO around midnight. Fortunately our bags made it with no problem and the hotel shuttle service was still running at that hour. So after making a call for the shuttle, we waited about 10 minutes and had a quick 5 minute ride to the hotel.
The hotel wasn't too busy that night, so we had our pick of rooms. We selected Room 101 just so we didn't have to lug our luggage (hey maybe that's where the name came from) up an elevator. Since we were only staying one night we didn't need to unpack and didn't even use the hotels amenities except for the free breakfast the next morning.
As I mentioned it was very convenient to the airport and I noticed on the ride to the hotel that it was within walking distance to the transportation center. So if someone wanted to use this as a business base to go to any of the cities in the Bay Area without a car they could do so.
There are 2 37" HDTV's to watch and the bath towels are both large with an 86% cotton and 14% polyester base.
The hotel has a business center off the front lobby, an area to relax both inside and and outside, a fitness center, underground parking if you drive and of course the Fairfield free breakfast.
The breakfast fare included an assortment of juices, pastries, make your own waffles and you could also microwave up some breakfast sandwiches.

Travelodge San Fran Apo South: So nice to find - jewel in the rough
This hotel was recommended to me by the manager of the Travelodge in Redding, Ca. What a pleasant place to stay. We were tired and arrived late. The check-in was flawless and quick, thank God. The room was clean and fresh. Everything was done well and the bed was superb. Great night sleep. Close to airport but was very quite. The breakfast was simple but very well done. They had a shuttle to the airport and the cost of the stay was less than others quoted. Very nice place good recommendation.
