Corporate Support…Inside Back Cover

April is Public Radio Recognition Month, a time when stations across the country signal their value to mem-bers of Congress and other funders. And WILL radio has quite a story to tell. We’ve received word that for the second year in a row, WILL-AM 580 News has been named the “Outstand-ing News Operation” in the downstate radio division of the Illinois Associated Press Broadcasters Association Jour-nalism Excellence Contest.

WILL-AM 580 news director Tom Rogers also won first place in the Best Newswrit-ing category. The awards will be pre-sented at the Illinois News Broadcasters Association convention at the I Hotel in Champaign on April 25. Congratulations to the AM 580 news team: Tom Rogers, Jim Meadows and Jeff Bossert.

Public radio stations picked up 21 of the 23 downstate radio awards in the contest, signaling the significant contributions public radio makes to all of our lives.

FM 90.9 is your connection to the music you love and to the music-makers in your community. After a February debut, Kevin Kelly’s new Live and Local noon show features singers, songwriters, pianists, conductors, pipa play-ers, music directors and more; while Vic DiGeronimo brings you great classical music and companion-ship all morning long.

And this month we are broadcasting live from the Champaign-Urbana Boneyard Arts Festival! Join Roger Cooper and AM 580 host Celeste Quinn at 6 pm Friday, April 17, for the live broadcast.

Why do you value WILL? Do you ever say, “I heard it on WILL ...”? Or, head to the library to find books by an author who’s just been inter-viewed? Or, drive around the block until you hear the finale of a piece of music? If you’d like to tell us your story, give me a call. We’re always looking for listeners to signal the value of public radio.

Of course, we hope you will also tell us how important WILL is to you by making a pledge of financial support during our spring fundraiser. It begins with a Power Hour at 7 am Wednesday, April 15, but you don’t have to wait until then. You can contribute anytime at willpledge.org. Support from Friends like you is our most important source of funding. And, as always, thanks for making a difference!

They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute; yet at times, they were also arrogant, vengeful and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders — from Massasoit, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, to Major Ridge, Geronimo and Fools Crow — valiantly resisted expul-sion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. Their strategies were sometimes militaristic, but more often, they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal and political.

Now PBS’s ac-claimed history series, American Experience, has partnered with Native American Public Telecom-munications to produce We Shall Remain, a ground-breaking mini-se-ries that establish-es Native history as an essential part of American history.

The extensive project picks up in the 1600s with the Wampanoags, who used their alli-ance with the English to strengthen their position in southern New England, and ends with the bold new leaders of the 1970s who harnessed the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement to forge a pan-Indian identity.

“You can’t understand America in the 21st century if you don’t understand the Native experience,” said Chris Eyre, director of the first three episodes of the five-part documentary.

A Powerful Story of Native History, Beautifully Told

Tune in at 7:30 pm Wednesday, April 1, for a behind-the-scenes pre-view of this unprecedented collabora-tion among Native and non-Native filmmakers, advisors and scholars.

Part one premieres at 8 pm Monday, April 13. After the Mayflower begins in New England in the 1620s, at the time of the so-called “first Thanksgiving.” In March of 1621, Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoag, negotiated a diplo-matic alliance with a scraggly band of English settlers for the benefit of his people. It was a gamble that paid off for several decades as Indians and colonists coexisted in relative peace. A half-century later, as a brutal war flared between the English colonists and a confederation of New England Indians, the wisdom of Massasoit’s choice seemed less clear.

Tecumseh’s Vision, airing at 8 pm Monday, April 20, tells the story of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh and his brother, Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet. In the years following the American Revolution, the Prophet led a spiritual revival movement that drew thousands of followers from tribes across the Midwest. His brother forged a pan-Indian political and military alliance from that movement, coming closer than anyone since to creating an independent Indian state.

Part three, Trail of Tears, follows at 8 pm Monday, April 27. It explores the resolve and resilience of the Cherokee Nation, who resisted removal from their homelands in the Southeast in every way they knew: assimilating, adopting a European-style govern-ment and legal system, accepting Christianity and taking their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Documenting the Human-Nature Struggle in AppalachiaAppalachia’s mountains feature one of the most diverse eco-systems on the planet. At the same time, this area’s people and nature have been exploited in the name of the industrial revo-lution. Now Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People is the first television series to present an environmental history of an American region, recounting the compelling story of the in-teraction of natural history and human history. With Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek as narrator, this four-part documentary features magnificent visuals, colorful stories and insightful interviews with experts such as author Barbara King-solver and Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist E.O. Wilson.

The series’ first installment, Time and Terrain, explores Appa-lachia’s unique mosaic of plant, animal and early human life at 9 pm on Thursday, April 9. The following Thursday at 9 pm, New Green World traces the story of Appalachia from the rumblings of Revolutionary War through Andrew Jackson’s forced relocation of the Cherokee people in 1831. The April 23 episode, Mountain Revolutions, relates how land grabbers poisoned a region that was once renowned mainly for its restful spas and noble character. The final program on April 30, Power and Place, sparks both heartbreak and hope for the region’s ransacked mountain ecosytem.

Each week The Saturday Special provides a unique radio experience for FM 90.9 music lovers. This month is no exception as we feature four American originals.

Willie Nelson and his longtime band members, road crew and friends pro-vide an inside look at life on tour with Willie Nelson on True Outlaw Stories April 4. Host Rodney Crowell introduc-es the colorful characters from Willie’s “band of gypsies” as they travel down the highway.

When Johnny Cash tried to get his first record deal, he described himself as a gospel singer. In time, he also became a biblical scholar, a religious writer and an ordained minister. In Amazing Grace (4/11), you’ll hear about the spiritual world of The Man in Black from family and friends—including son John Carter Cash and musicians Marty Stuart and Larry Gatlin—along with more than a dozen of his best known gospel songs.

Saturdays at 10 pm on FM 90.9

Another ordained minister had a variety of musical passions that in-cluded leading classical performers, jazz legends, and pop artists from the Rat Pack to Joan Baez. From Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s childhood piano les-sons and choir singing, to his marriage to a classically trained soprano to the songs that galvanized the civil rights movement, A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood (4/18) explores the rich musical landscape of his life and times, and offers insight into the importance of music in his work.

NPR Music caught Tom Waits In Con-cert (4/25) at Atlanta’s Fox Theater in July 2008. Waits delivered a stunning performance, including songs he says he’s never attempted to play outside of the studio before. Backing Waits is a five-piece group, about whom he said, “They are all multi-instrumentalists and they polka like real men.”

House of Life: The Old Jewish Cem-etery in Prague explores this place of haunting beauty and mystery, which has endured wars and pogroms, floods and fires, assimilation and an urban clear-ing project that destroyed most of the ancient Jewish Quarter it once served. Miraculously, it even survived the Nazi occupation and 40 years of communist neglect. At 9 pm Monday, April 6, this program tells the story of the vibrant Prague Jewish community of the past and of today’s small Jewish community for whom the cemetery still serves as a spiritual center. The film features the curators, historians, rabbis, guides and

Upholding the Vow to Never Forgetconservationists who are all devoted to the preservation of this historic place.

Swimming in Auschwitz, which airs Tuesday, April 7 at 9 pm, interweaves the stories of six Jewish women imprisoned inside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concen-tration camp during the Holocaust. The women maintained a spiritual resistance against their Nazi aggressors through prayer, community, music and even humor. They speak of camp families and faith, uplifting one another while trying to retain their humanity. Their compelling testimonials reveal the power of laughter and community, even in the face of evil.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting presented WILL AM-FM-TV with the My Source Community Impact Award for Education for WILL initiatives including book mentoring in pre-school classrooms, the Youth Media Workshop with African-American teens, and a Hoopeston Youth Project.

“We are honored to be recog-nized by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for our on-going community efforts,” said WILL general manager Mark Leonard, who accepted the award March 7. “WILL sees this work as increasingly central to our role as a community public media organization.”

In Hoopeston, WILL AM-FM-TV and Prairie Center Health Systems worked together on a project that led to a series of youth-led, well-attended town hall meetings and the creation of additional supports for at-risk youth.

In the Youth Media Workshop, WILL works with African-American middle and high school students, teaching them media production skills and journalistic practices.

U of I Carnegie Designation WILL’s Youth Media Workshop and Young Learners Initiative projects helped the U of I achieve the community engage-ment classification of the Carnegie Foun-dation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Both WILL projects were among 70 separate U of I programs described in documentation submitted to support the selection. The U of I was selected in the Curricular Engagement and Outreach & Partnerships category, which honors institutions with substantial commitments to teaching, learning and scholarship that engage faculty, students and community in “mutually beneficial and respectful col-laboration.”

The Young Learners Initiative helps parents and teachers use educational children’s media to strengthen literacy development, healthy lifestyles, science education and positive social skills.

WILL general manager Mark Leonard said, “We are delighted that our projects were included in the U of I’s applica-tion for the Carnegie Foundation clas-sification, and that the Foundation has recognized the university’s and WILL’s commitment to working in and with the community.”

The U of I was one of 119 U.S. colleges and universities, and the only public university in Illinois, to be selected for the community engagement classification.

WILL’s Book Mentor Project, part of its Youth Learners Initiative, is designed to get books and literacy activities in the hands of families. Volunteer mentors from community organizations visit class-rooms once a month to share a book and a related activity. Each child gets to take home a copy of the book.

The My Source Community Impact Awards for Education were created by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to give recognition to public television stations for their commitment to provid-ing educational services with measurable results.

As Patterns went to press, WILL-TV announced its plans to end analog broadcasts at 6 am on March 31. The station is making the switch before the June 12 mandatory analog shut-off date in part because continuing to operate both analog and digital transmitters is expensive and uses excess energy.

In addition, most viewers seem to be ready for the conversion to digital. “Our engineering staff is getting many fewer phone calls than we were getting earlier in the year. We’re down to about four a week from a high of a dozen or so a day. We think delaying past March 31 wouldn’t significantly increase the num-

ber of prepared viewers,” said general manager Mark Leonard.

The switch to digital will allow WILL to put its Create service and World service on two different digital channels, instead of dividing one digital channel between the two services. “Offering both of these high-quality program services 24 hours a day allows us to significantly improve our service to viewers,” said Leonard. Station personnel will oper-ate a phone bank on March 31 to help viewers who still have questions about the transition. Call 217-333-7300 for assistance.

Valor on the Homefront

Coming Home: Military Families Cope with Change tells the stories of service members returning home with injuries—both visible and invisible —and explores the heroic struggles their families face on the path to finding a “new normal.” Presented by Sesame Workshop, Coming Home enlists help from Elmo, Rosita and their Sesame Street friends to show the central role that children play in the family’s adjustment process. Also featuring Queen Latifah and John Mayer, above, the program offers a glimpse into what military families endure.

A generation ago, Jacques-Yves Cousteau revealed the oceans’ mysteries to millions of PBS viewers and inspired a groundswell of public awareness of the unique problems faced by the world’s marine envi-ronments. Now, 30 years later, Jacques’ son, Jean-Michel Cousteau, and his team have set sail to explore dangerous and spectacular locales across the globe.

In the first episode of Ocean Adventures, Cousteau travels to the high Arctic to determine why some be-luga whales, warm-blooded mammals in a numbingly cold sea, are thriving while others are disappearing.

Then Cousteau seeks out orcas, also called killer whales, in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Number-ing fewer than 100,000 worldwide, orcas extend from the Arctic to the Antarctic, so learning more about them is a global endeavor.

“We can’t protect what we don’t understand.”– Jean-Michel Cousteau

Incredible Impact: Celebrating the Telescope

Living in Harmony with the EarthEmmy Award-winning CNN veteran Frank Sesno hosts Planet Forward, an innovative, viewer-driven program that debuts on the Web (www.planetfor-ward.org) and culminates in a primetime PBS special a week before Earth Day. Driven by people’s ideas about the nation’s energy future, the most provocative submissions to the Web site will be included in the broadcast.

A quiet green revolution in the building world is evolving, and a first wave of innova-tive green design projects, large and small, has already hit the ground. Green Builders profiles a cast of green building pioneers who have taken the leap into making their part of the built environment a more energy-effi-cient and environmentally friendly place.

This visually stunning program chronicles a sweeping journey from 1609, when Galileo revealed mankind’s place in the galaxy, to today’s thrilling quests to discover new worlds in the universe. Narrated by NOVA’s Neil deGrasse Tyson, the compelling program takes viewers on an adventure through the heavens and around the globe, visiting the world’s leading astronomers, cosmologists and observatories.

It happens only four times a year and the next installment is Wednesday, April 1, at 1 and 6:30 pm on AM 580. As always, nothing in the political arena is safe from the comedic barbs of the Capitol Steps in the April Fool’s Day edition of Politics Takes a Holiday.

intelligence 2the U.S. forum for live debate

Politics Takes a Holiday (No fooling!)

The Holocaust, Rwanda, the Balkans and now Darfur. After each atrocity, the world says never again, and yet here it is ... again. Now the international community has a new idea: Responsibility to Protect (R2P). This idea states that each country is obligated to protect its citizens, and if a country can’t, the international community must. So is this new norm more than high-minded rhetoric? Does it violate each country’s right to have control within its borders? Join America Abroad co-hosts Ray Saurez and Deborah Amos at 6 pm Saturday, April 11 as they explore situations in Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya to see what R2P looks like on the ground. And they take a step back to see how the concept of R2P went from a fledgling idea to being endorsed by the U.N. General Assembly.

On April 18 at 6 pm, Intelligence Squared opens debate on whether The Art Market is Less Ethical Than the Stock Market with John Donvan moderating. Speaking for the motion are: Richard Feigen, Michael Hue-Williams and Adam Lindemann. Speaking against the motion are: Chuck Close, Amy Cap-pellazzo and Jerry Saltz.

Blame Washington More Than Wall Street for the Financial Crisis is the topic at 6 pm April 25. Speaking for the motion are: Niall Ferguson, John Steele Gordon and Nouriel Roubini while Alex Berenson, Jim Chanos and Nell Minow speak against it.

Inside WILL

Kickapoo State Park is only 13.91 miles from the Danville Boys and Girls Club, but for the teens who participate in the club’s activities, it often seems much farther away. The park is across the lake and past an area where wealthier community residents live, said Rickey Williams, executive director of the club. “Many of our young people never go beyond the lake or farther where the park is,” he said.

That’s about to change for a group of 10 African-American participants in the club. The Youth Media Workshop, a project of WILL and William Patterson of the University of Illinois, is partnering with the Danville Boys and Girls Club and other community and university groups to introduce the teens and their families to Kickapoo State Park, and increase awareness among African Americans about the value of Kickapoo.

The partners will teach teens how to use the latest nano video technology and editing software and help them create video public service announcements to persuade other African-Americans of the benefits of the scenic park in their own back yards. Participating are Kickapoo State Park, the U of I College of Media, the Prairie Rivers Network, the Danville Public Library and Keep Vermilion County Beautiful.

Using small FLIP video cameras, WILL will teach middle and high school students how to videotape footage of the park and the College of Media will teach them how to create a public service announcement to convince their peers that Kickapoo is a fun place to visit. The videos will be posted to a Kickapoo project Web site.

“Our youth are enveloped by media,” Williams said. “This is a great opportunity for them to learn how it comes together, and also to learn about careers in media production and advertising.”

Staff of the Prairie Rivers Network will lead the teens on an outing at the park. U of I advertising associate professor Michelle Nelson will help the teens conduct a focus group with their peers to see what they think about nature and hiking, and to discover barriers to visiting the park. “Then we’ll analyze the data and create a strategy for encouraging more teens and their families to visit Kickapoo,” said Nelson.

The teens and their families will visit the park for the first time on April 13 for an orientation when they’ll have dinner at Kickapoo Landing, hike and go paddle-boating on the river.

WILL developed the project, Kickin’ It at Kickapoo, in conjunction with Ken Burns’ new PBS series, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, premiering this fall.

“Kickapoo almost closed last year because of the state’s financial struggles,” said Kimberlie Kranich, WILL’s director of community engagement. “Thousands of people demonstrated their support. We wanted to join the effort to protect the park by introducing more people to Kickapoo. The more that people have a direct joyful experience in the park, the more likely they’ll want the park to be there for them and future generations.” Kranich co-directs the Youth Media Workshop with Patterson, who is associate director of the U of I African-American Cultural Center.

WILL’s efforts are being funded by a grant from the PBS Foundation’s Adobe Youth Voices Venture Fund, which will also provide funding for Youth Media Workshop projects in all three Champaign public middle schools this fall.

BACH continues its celebration of Handel with the Oboe Concerto in G Minor, and Handel Arias & Duets. We will also feature the winners from our Young Baroque Artists Competition.
