The sound installation transmits the stories of six refugees, living in different cities across the U.S. to six radios. The voices of the refugees are superimposed and coordinated in both rhythm and tonality to unite their narratives of struggle, survival and triumph.

Citizens of Gabriola Island want a community radio station, so they can hear
local culture on the air and have the benefit of emergency broadcasting.
Rogers wants them to step aside for lite rock programming from Victoria, and
has decided to speak against the islanders' CRTC application. The case
reminds us of the struggle and value of community radio stations around the
world.

[excerpt]

A PIRATE radio station operating from the back of a butchery in Mdantsane
is growing in popularity – but is now under investigation.

About two weeks ago, the pirate Mdantsane FM – nicknamed Mdiza FM – went
live on the 99.5 frequency and has since hosted a number of talks with
local politicians and taxi and youth associations.

The station caused confusion among residents, who were eagerly awaiting
the launch of a community radio station with a similar name.

The community station had been granted a licence by the Independent
Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) and was supposed to
operate on the 104 frequency.

Mdiza FM station manager and local businessman Siviwe Mahlahla yesterday
admitted his station had no licence and was operating "underground" while
awaiting Icasa ap- proval .

When the Daily Dispatch visited the station, which operates from an empty
room at the back of Mahlahla's butchery in NU5, equipment was set up on a
makeshift table.

Radio DJs and local guests were sitting on plastic stools. The station had
no sound-proofing and no doors.

Mahlahla said: "The station creates practical opportunities for people who
have love for radio but could not get proper training."

Deputy chairperson of Mdantsane Community Radio Station Bethwell Zulu said
the news of a station trading as Mdantsane FM created a lot of confusion.

"We had a meeting with our stakeholders, including Buffalo City
Municipality and the Department of Communication and this new radio
station was mentioned, " Zulu said.

1. Latest update on George Lessard's pending trip to Chelyabinsk, Russi
Posted by: "George Lessard" mediamentor@gmail.com themediamentor
Date: Sun Mar 22, 2009 1:47 pm ((PDT))

My passport with it's Russian visa arrived from the agency that's sending me
to Russia http://www.ceso-saco.com on Friday 20 March along with my expenses
cheque for $545 (with and average weekly income of $50 US in the Chelyabinsk
region of Russia) which should be more than enough to take care of my needs
for my two weeks there.

I leave on Friday the 27th and return to Yellowknife on Easter Sunday. Too
bad I'm not in Russia for the Eastern Orthodox celebration of Easter... I
would have liked to attend a mass there to see how they do it...

I fly from Yellowknife to Calgary via Jazz, Calgary to Frankfurt via Air
Canada, Frankfurt to Moscow via Lufthansa and overnight in Moscow at the
"Arbat" hotel http://www.president-hotel.net/arbat/?lang=Eng
(Google search result <
http://www.google.ca/search?q=arbat+hotel+moscow&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enCA220CA220&aq=t
>
or at the Moscow DME Synixis Domodedovo Airhotel http://www.airhotel.ru/
(Russian only) http://www.tomoscow.com/aeroteldom.html (depending on which
docuument is correct... I'll have to check on this)...

Then the next day I'm flying on an airline called S7 (?) (Some where I think
I saw it called Siberian Airlines) for a two and a quater hour flight to
Chelyabinsk... no word of where I'm staying in Chelyabinsk.. some times one
get put up in a hotel... other times its in a home.. should be
interesting...

I'm brining a laptop and a camera... but my new MAC BOOK PRO hard crashed
(Apple says it needs a service centre and that it might be the ram.. nearest
one is Edmonton... so it will not return before I leave.. so I'll bring my
old MAC or my PC laptop.... I bought a point and shoo digital camera to
bring but I'm rethinking that and will probably bring my full SLR kit...

I'll be trying to post ongoing updates to my Overseas Blog at
http://mediamentor-overseas.blogspot.com/
and pictures to my Flickr site at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/george-lessard/sets/72157613820810814/
and may try to post to my Facebook page at
http://www.facebook.com/people/George-Lessard/528826696
(unless they're blocked or the connection is too slow)

That's all for now...

Latest update on George Lessard's pending trip to Chelyabinsk, Russia...

My passport with it's Russian visa arrived from the agency that's sending me to Russia http://www.ceso-saco.com on Friday 20 March along with my expenses cheque for $545 (with and average weekly income of $50 US in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia) which should be more than enough to take care of my needs for my two weeks there.

I leave on Friday the 27th and return to Yellowknife on Easter Sunday. Too bad I'm not  in Russia for the Eastern Orthodox celebration of Easter... I would have liked to attend a mass there to see how they do it...

I fly from Yellowknife to Calgary via Jazz, Calgary to Frankfurt via Air Canada, Frankfurt to Moscow via Lufthansa and overnight in Moscow at the "Arbat" hotel http://www.president-hotel.net/arbat/?lang=Eng
(Google search result <http://www.google.ca/search?q=arbat+hotel+moscow&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enCA220CA220&aq=t>
or at the Moscow DME Synixis Domodedovo Airhotel http://www.airhotel.ru/  (Russian only)  http://www.tomoscow.com/aeroteldom.html (depending on which docuument is correct... I'll have to check on this)...

Then the next day I'm flying on an airline called S7 (?) (Some where I think I saw it called Siberian Airlines) for a two and a quater hour flight to Chelyabinsk... no word of where I'm staying in Chelyabinsk.. some times one get put up in a hotel... other times its in a home..  should be interesting...

I'm brining a laptop and a camera... but my new MAC BOOK PRO hard crashed (Apple says it needs a service centre and that it might be the ram.. nearest one is Edmonton... so it will not return before I leave.. so I'll bring my old MAC or my PC laptop.... I bought a point and shoo digital camera to bring but I'm rethinking that and will probably bring my full SLR kit...

I'll be trying to post ongoing updates to my Overseas Blog at
http://mediamentor-overseas.blogspot.com/
and pictures to my Flickr site at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/george-lessard/sets/72157613820810814/
and may try to post to my Facebook page at
http://www.facebook.com/people/George-Lessard/528826696
(unless they're blocked or the connection is too slow)

That's all for now...
