Rink volunteers are needed at the City of Kitchener. If you can brave the cold, it might be for you.

Leave a comment

Host: Leah Gerber

There are about 25 neighbourhood rinks throughout Kitchener, and they are all run by volunteers who go out in the darkest and coldest time of night to keep the rinks clear and flooded. It’s not a glamorous job, but Chris Letizi, a volunteer rink coordinator for the rink at the Stanley Park Community Centre, says the role a rink plays in fostering community by providing a place for kids and families to get out and skate or for groups to play hockey, is worth it. He says finding volunteers willing to come out and do the work to keep the rinks operating is a problem all across the city and hopes more people will pitch in to share the load. Josh Joseph runs the Love My Hood program with the city and says the outdoor rink program is a decades-old program that could not run without volunteers.

What’s up, y’all? Here is tonight’s Clean Up Hour. As is tradition, we begin three weeks of list with this year’s worst of list, in which 15 albums — as well as five political and cultural entities — get put under my ever-critical scope.

Heads up that, like the music I usually play, I do use language and phrasing which warrants language and content disclaimers — listener discretion is advised.

There’s a small mix after I finish rambling:

Wavy Bagels – San Juan

R.A.P Ferreira – culture jammer

Serengeti – One Tweet Away

Oddities – Coming Down (feat. Esthero)

Deus Ex – Dark Age Ending

Nas – New World

Thanks to everyone who contributed to 2024 being a great year for The Clean Up Hour — looking forward to 2025. Until then, see y’all next time!

Lemmy and an acoustic ace of spades!

Jerry lee and little Richard together in one set.  Roots.

Recommend Putumayo records for world music. Pick them up cheap in any used cd store but they have a great range of world music inside.

Been rediscovering the Beats.  Really intelligent though crazy people.  Tom Waits pays tribute to them tonight.  Monk too!  And a bit of spoken stuff from Jack Kerouac.

Early rock and roll with Robert Gordon and the shaking pyramids, fake news, political claptrap and passing phrases.  bluesbluesblues too!

This weeks movie. Zardoz. What happens when the primitive gains access to the decaying world of the immortals.  Strange savage movie with Sean Connery.  Proving that without that Primitive within ourselves we wither and die.  Sad truth of the yin/yang.

Local student meal program and school sound alarm on inadequate budget for feeding hungry kids

Leave a comment

Host: Leah Gerber

Nutrition for Learning has been serving food to kids in Waterloo Region for about 30 years. This school year was the first they were unable to fill all the food needs of their schools. CEO Erin Moraghan says they need about twice the budget they have to meet the demand. 

Vanessa Haffner, an educational assistant and the volunteer coordinator for the program at Centennial Public School in Waterloo, speaks about her first-hand experience trying to stretch the budget to meet the need. She and principal Stephen Sherlock speak about the difference the food makes for the students and the program’s importance. 

Haffner says food insecurity in schools is a real issue that can go unseen by the larger community. “If you’re not within the school walls and seeing every day what our students are coming with for lunch, it’s easy to miss. And I think sometimes our community doesn’t realise how many students are coming to school feeling hungry.”

Have discovered how truly frightening AI is.  Had Bings co-pilot write me some Haiku poems and damn they were pretty good.  I have seen the future…   I’m going to see if I have a voice program and I’ll put the thing on air.

A night of many standards.  They’re songs that are covered in many different style by lots of different people over the course of years by people like the Crooked still and Siousie and the banshees and songs from Lou Reed to love me or leave me.  Hey some Charlie Parker too!

Robot news tonight (all true!)

“Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!” Robot Model B-9, Class YM-3, Environmental Control Robot.  Lost in Space TV series 1960s.

Still looking for some slam poets to submit their work in a minute and a half mp3.  I’ll listen and put it on if it kicks hard.  nocrapradio@yahoo.com

Bootleg Bowie, Little Stevie and jazz to finish up the evening.

Nerina Pallot-love will tear us apart

Pretty lights-finally moving

Yoshida brothers-fukaki uni no Kanata

bowie-waitin for the man

Lou reed-vicious

nick cave-all tomorrows parties

steve winwood profile

spencer davis group-goodbye stevie

traffic-dear mr fantasy (early)

blind faith-well alright

clapton/winwood-can’t find my way home

magazine-rhythm of cruelty

smiths-what difference does it make

siouxsie and the banshees-passenger

iggy-pumpin for jill

be good tanyas-in my time of dying 

crooked still-aint no grave

rory block-joliet biound

e macillwaine-can’t find my way home

wes montgomery-Bumpin’ On Sunset

Sarah Vaughan-They Can’t Take That Away From Me

Ernestine Anderson-Never Make Your Move Too Soon

charlie  parker-kc blues

kellylee evans-love me or leave me

Bim scala bim-rain

Ub40-1 in ten

Joe Jackson-the harder they come

Joe Cocker-cry me a river

This weeks movie, an oldie but a goodie. Clockwork orange.  A laugh riot.  Futurist portrayal of the demise of man and the attempts by society to paper it over.  Odd camera angles and bright colours.  Droogs forever!

Upcoming movie news.  Danny Boyle has released the trailer for the summer release of 28 years later.  3rd in the classic zombie series.

Staff with Blue Triton, a multi-national water bottling company, confirmed earlier this month their Ontario operations will close by the end of January. This includes the controversial plant in Aberfoyle, Puslinch township. 

Advocates with the Wellington Water Watchers are calling this a major win for their cause, as they’ve sought the closure of all water bottling activity at this well for about 18 years, beginning when it was owned by Nestle. 

Township mayor James Seeley says the sale of the plant is a loss for the township, as it was the third-highest tax payer. He also estimates the loss of about 200 jobs.

Water advocates with the Six Nations of the Grand River also lay claim on the well, saying the water rightfully belongs to their community. They believe the Six Nations community should have the final say on what happens to the water, especially as the community continues to endure a long-term water crisis.

But in today’s environmentally tough times, some may be wondering if cutting down 30-foot giants is the best choice for a city’s Christmas tree. Radio Waterloo takes a look.

Always by WaSun

The Underground King of Toronto

With previous heavy hitter releases, and re-release of Prison Notebooks, WaSun’s latest, is in his words, his best album: EARTH MOTHER. Getting into the tracks, the overall vibe is of a soft beach and warm sand. I am in love with this album. To the soul of the broken-hearted,  this album hits home.

WaSun wrote a personal album, about his life. The hardship he describes via this album can only be felt by listening to the songs. Tell me which ones you listen to on repeat. currently mine is Always.
