April 2016 INSIDE NET

APRIL, 2016 1

Message to Our MembersGive me a gorgeous sky and the smell of spring, and I’m one happy gal. Our Nebraska skies are gorgeous this time of year. The reds, pinks and oranges of the sunrise, clear blues and even the greenish grays of a stormy day – the sky is always stunning! As I travel across the state, I’ve discovered that Nebraska is truly a hidden gem. Part of what we do at NET is spread the word about this great state – within our own borders, across the country and even around the world.

This month, we are excited to premiere the three Antiques Roadshow episodes that were recorded last June in Omaha. More than 5,000 fans brought treasures to the appraisers, hoping their items were worth a fortune and a television appearance. The shows air April 18, 25 & May 2 on NET. (See below for some of the highlights.)

You also won’t want to miss NET’s show, Behind-the-Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Omaha. We had a backstage pass to all the action during the taping. We’ll share all the excitement and a few secrets, as well as update you on the recent history of unique Frank Lloyd Wright house plans that appraisers discovered when Antiques Roadshow was in Omaha in 2004. (See page 3 for details.)

Spring also means the premiere of Backyard Farmer and baseball on NET.

This season the Backyard Farmer experts will answer all of your lawn and garden questions, and focus on bringing “the farm to the table.” And, to complement our Nebraska and Creighton baseball schedules, the new Ken Burns’ documentary Jackie Robinson explores the player’s influence on and off the diamond. It’s a history lesson you won’t want to miss, and an excellent example of the high quality PBS programming that you’ll only find on NET.

Last, but certainly not least, our NET Radio Spring Membership Drive runs March 31-April 6. Your gift supports classical music, insightful discussion and trusted news. If you’re like me, it’s an inspirational soundtrack for when you are looking toward the skies.

Thanks for being part of NET. Working together, the sky truly is the limit.

Behind-the-Scenes at Antiques Roadshow OmahaMonday, April 18 at 8 p.m. CT on NET

With a backstage pass and cameras rolling, NET captured all the behind-the-scenes action when Antiques Roadshow taped three “Omaha” episodes in June 2015. For two days, NET had complete access to the Antiques Roadshow crew, appraisers and guests. Now, we’ve put it all together in Behind-the-Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Omaha. It’s a chance for you to see what it takes to produce America’s original treasure hunting show.

This was the second visit the popular PBS series made to Nebraska. The crew and appraisers taped three other episodes in Omaha in 2004. As part of Behind-the-Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Omaha, Marsha Bemko, executive producer of Antiques Roadshow shares her favorite appraisal from that visit – Frank Lloyd Wright house plans for The Sutton House in McCook. When Patty Cordell and her sister, Stephanie Hurst, brought their family heirlooms for appraisal, they hoped, but never dreamed they would have an American treasure. NET picks up the story in 2004 and updates you with more than 100 years of wild history about The Sutton House.

Repeats Thursday, April 21 at 9 p.m. CT on NET

The series is a co-production of NET Television and the University

of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.

Great Plains: America’s Lingering WildSundays, April 17 & 24 Noon CT on NET

Follow nature photographer Michael Forsberg as he examines the remaining “wildness” in the Great Plains of North America. Less than 200 years ago, the Great Plains was one of the greatest grassland ecosystems on Earth, stretching nearly a million square miles through the heart of the continent. But as America grew, and the land was settled and tamed, the wildness began disappearing. (An NET Production)

JAZZ A Film by Ken BurnsFridays, April 1, 8, 15 & 228 p.m. CT on NET

Acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns tells the story of jazz — the quintessential American art form, and a reflection of political and social issues in the African American community. In 10 parts, JAZZ traces the roots of the music that has defined our country, from its beginnings in blues and ragtime, through its evolution into swing, bebop and fusion. Along the way, Burns describes the lives and work of jazz musicians Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Benny Goodman, Charlie “Bird” Parker and many others.

Jackie Robinson A Film by Ken Burns

Monday, April 11 & Tuesday, April 128 p.m. CT on NET

Examine the life and times of Jack Roosevelt Robinson, who in 1947 lifted a nation and an entire race on his shoulders when he crossed baseball’s color line. Ken Burns reveals fascinating stories about the legend’s life on and off the field, including a portrait of a loving and devoted husband and father. Jackie Robinson features interviews with Robinson’s widow and their surviving children, who witnessed firsthand how society resisted equality for African Americans – even for their enormously popular father.

On April 15, 1947, in New York City’s Ebbets Field, Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Supporting NET “Just Fits”

“I’m a strong supporter of NET. I believe in it,” said Robert Johnson of Hastings, a donor for more than 12 years.

Bob’s roots run deep in Hastings and several generations have called it home. Educated in rural Hansen, Hastings and a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s agriculture program, Bob and his wife Harriett raised six children there on the family farm. Harriett passed away in 2010. “We had a great life together. She is greatly missed,” he said.

Bob remains active in the community, volunteering in the county courts and at the Alda Crane Viewing Site, as well as helping to get the word out about the value of NET.

“We’re a family of educators extending into the grandchildren, now, and my life is planted in that direction. Financial support by listeners and viewers needs to be a major part of NET’s future. It just fits for me to encourage major gifts to NET.”

What has drawn Bob to NET Radio and NET Television over the years?

News Most unbiased, most researched, most factual.

Music I love music and it can be transformational.

Sports I follow your coverage of high school and collegiate sports.

Documentaries and Drama There is so much that NET produces that I enjoy.

NET Radio Whatever you have on the radio, I listen .

Community Support Spotlight

Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commissionneoc.ne.gov 800-642-6112

Housing Is A Shared NeedA young woman living in an apartment needs companionship from a dog to alleviate her anxiety. A group of immigrants is directed to housing in a particular area. A victim of domestic violence is told an apartment is no longer available. A mortgage lender fails to approve a home loan.

Each of these situations could be a result of housing discrimination, either intentionally or unintentionally. The Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission (NEOC) works in urban and rural areas across Nebraska to eliminate housing barriers that residents might face. April is “Fair Housing Month,” and the NEOC is focusing on community education.

The NEOC also provides free technical assistance to help property managers, owners, lenders and others associated with housing by informing them of non-discriminatory rules and regulations, and guiding them to make decisions that allow all people to obtain the housing of their choice.

“Everyone needs shelter. It’s a basic need,” said Gretchen Eure, director of an investigative unit, and education and outreach at the NEOC. Eure said many people are often not aware of the requirements of the Nebraska Fair Housing Act and do not take advantage

of the free resources provided by the NEOC.

“Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Even if you haven’t experienced housing discrimination yourself, we all need to recognize shared needs in our communities,” she said.

Like the NEOC, NET recognizes shared need. Our three television stations (NET, NET World and NET Create), as well as our two radio stations (NET Radio and NET Radio HD-2) are available free over the air to everyone in Nebraska. NET also provides a channel for Radio Talking Book Services that are a communication lifeline to visually-impaired Nebraskans, as well as closed-captioning which makes our programming available to hearing-impaired viewers.

“Everyone needs shelter.

It’s a basic need.”Gretchen Eure

Gift Planning

Live Now, Give Later A gift in your will can be a budget-friendly solution to your charitable goals. Between paying your bills and saving for retirement, NET knows that there are many demands on your wallet. But, we hear from so many members who still want to support NET’s mission because they enjoy and appreciate our quality radio and television programming.

Leaving our organization a gift in your will can be the perfect gift that satisfies your charitable desires

and ensures that you and your family still have the resources you need.

If you’re considering leaving a gift to NET in your will, determining exactly how much to

give when you don’t know what the future holds can be tricky. That’s why including a gift of

a percentage of your estate is a smart option. Your donation remains proportionate to your estate size, no matter how it fluctuates over the years.
