patternsWhat’s coming from PBSBy David Thiel, WILL-TV Program Director

The PBS Annual Meeting is a time when the public television community gathers to catch up on industry issues and to see previews of upcoming programs. I felt that the May 2012 meeting was the most exciting in years. Here are some highlights from next season!

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood will introduce the teachings and values of the late Fred Rogers to a new generation. Set within the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, this animated series from the producers of Super Why! joins the PBS Kids lineup on Monday, Sept. 3.

Beginning Sunday, Sept. 9, a three-part documentary/competition show called Broadway or Bust will follow talented youngsters as they vie for honors in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.

For the first time since 1990, PBS will present Richard Wagner’s complete Ring of the Nibelung cycle over four consecutive evenings starting Monday, Sept. 10. This spectacularly staged opera kicks off a Great Performances season that will also see Shakespeare’s four historical plays—Richard II, Henry IV Parts 1 & 2, and Henry V—woven into a single narrative.

Call the Midwife was a huge hit—bigger than Downton Abbey!—when it premiered in England. Set in 1950s London, it’s about a young midwife who finds herself working for a convent. The first six episodes will accompany the return of Upstairs Downstairs beginning Sunday, Sept. 30.

Introduced by George Clooney and featuring celebrity advocates America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde, Half the Sky profiles incredible women fighting back against oppression throughout the world. The two-part documentary airs Oct. 1 and 2.

The Dust Bowl is an event typically given a few paragraphs in high school history books, but for those who lived it, it was a devastating period that destroyed farms and families alike. Filmmaker Ken Burns takes us into the heart of The Dust Bowl on Nov. 18 and 19.

That’s only a sampling of what’s to come. I haven’t even touched on Nature’s retrospective on the life of David Attenborough, American Masters’ look at the comedic career of Mel Brooks, or David Pogue’s stint as the new host of NOVAscienceNOW, in which he answers such burning questions as “What are animals thinking?” and “Can I eat that?” All that and more, coming soon to WILL-TV!

Market Warriors follows four antiques pickers—Kevin, John, Miller and Bob—as they scour flea markets for antiques and vintage valuables with an eye toward selling their finds. For every show, the pickers travel to different markets across the country to purchase items with a set amount of money, and use their knowledge and skills to see who can make the most profit at auction. Meanwhile, Fred Willard (Best in Show, Modern Family) is the program’s off-screen host, offering wry commentary throughout each episode.

Meet the pickers

Planning the next chapter

With the retirements of Focus host David Inge and Focus producer Harriet Williamson on June 30—along with the April 30 retirement of Afternoon Magazine host Celeste Quinn—WILL is planning how best to continue the rich tradition of our talk radio programming lineup.

“These programs are such a strength for WILL and so important for our listeners to learn more about critical issues and ideas,” said Kimberlie Kranich, director of community content and engagement for Illinois Public Media. Kimberlie and IPM’s news and public affairs director Craig Cohen are members of a team working on the next chapter of these programs.

“We’re committed to continuing the tradition of in-depth discussions we’ve maintained all these years,” Craig said.

Focus will feature original programming on Wednesday, July 18, and Thursday, July 19, related to WILL’s initiatives on local foods. See page 3 for details. Most other days in July and August will feature the best of previous editions of Focus, with live programs resuming every day in September.

Travel to nine countries and across 1,400 years of cultural history to explore the artistic and architectural riches of Islam when Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World airs at 8 pm Friday, July 6. With the insights of leading art scholars from around the world, the film delves into the art of religious life in Islamic culture and into the secret world inside the palaces of the elite. The array of metalwork, tex-tiles, paintings and architecture sheds light on the shared histories of western and Islamic societies, revealing more continuity than division.

Probe one of the nation’s most polarizing is-sues and a key topic in the 2012 election as Homeland: Immigration in America (9 pm Fridays, July 20 and 27) presents contemporary stories of immigrants—legal and illegal—and those who confront them, help them, employ them and craft legislation that affects them.

Then at 8 pm the following Sundays, Kevin Whately returns as Inspector Lewis for a fifth season of the popular detective series. In four new episodes, Lewis and his young partner, Hathaway (Laurence Fox), continue solving cases in the seemingly perfect aca-demic haven of Oxford.

outreach director Molly Delaney, from a time when she was a fourth grader, won an essay contest, and went canoeing with her brother.

Molly talked with students about primary sources and how they can be used in research. She showed them some of the sources that WILL-TV has used in making historical documentaries on Red Grange and Abraham Lincoln.

“I was surprised by how engaged the students were in every step of the tour,” Molly said. The tours also included watching a video interview with a World War II veteran, and then doing a mock interview about what the students would want kids in the future to know about them and their school—demonstrating how they can be primary sources about their own lives.

Every Champaign Unit 4 fourth grader toured WILL as part of the social studies curriculum. “The tours provided a tangible local connection for us with students and strengthened our relationship with teachers and families,” said Molly.

4th graders learn about primary sources during WILL toursSilas liked seeing the satellite dishes that looked like giant white pizzas outside Campbell Hall.

Audrey liked joining her classmates in screaming as loud as they could in the WILL-TV studio to prove that no one outside the soundproof room could hear them.

But Megan, Justen and Dominick agreed with many of the 722 Champaign fourth grade students who toured Illinois Public Media this spring that the best part of their visit was getting to be history detectives while studying primary sources.

That was one part of the tour that was designed to supplement the students’ social studies curriculum. On the screen in WILL’s teleconference room, students saw an old photo, a report card, an essay and a newspaper clipping. Then, after making wild guesses and getting some helpful clues, they correctly discovered that all four primary sources were related to the students’ WILL host, educational

WILL was one of the first acquaintances Susan and Lew Hopkins made as newcomers to Champaign-Urbana 40 years ago. They chose to show their appreciation for this longstanding friendship through a current endowment gift in support of WILL Radio.

“We attended a planned giving seminar a number of years ago that highlighted the benefits—both to donors and to University of Illinois units—of current, as well as estate, gifts,” Susan Hopkins said. “Once you’ve planned for your own financial needs, it becomes interesting to look at how to support organizations that you value.”

The seminar provided Susan and Lew with the perspective to explore funding two gifts—the one for WILL and another for the Department of Urban and Regional Planning within the U of I College of Fine & Applied Arts, where Lew taught urban planning for 35 years and served as head of the department for 13. They realized that instead of selling their rental property themselves, they could donate it to the University of Illinois Foundation, which would in turn sell the house. This approach

saved on capitol gains tax, while Susan and Lew received a charitable deduction. A somewhat similar strategy would be to give long held appreciated stock.

From their early support of WILL with $25 annual gifts, the couple became more invested in the future of AM 580 as they realized the extent to which they relied on the station for in-depth perspectives on issues, quality news reporting and entertaining conversations on a diverse array of topics, as well as chances to call in with questions for radio guests.

During one radio fundraising drive, they learned the cost of a day of programming. The information formed the basis for the concept of their gift, established in 2007. The income from this endowment now provides one day’s broadcast funds each year.

“We’re realizing that it’s more fun to be generous while we’re still around to see the results,” Susan said. “In doing a current endowment, we wanted to front load our contribution to WILL to do our part to help insure its health and survival in the face of the vagaries of other funding sources.”

Choosing to help shape the future of WILL


or to help us with major purchases, such as equipment to keep us up and running or to address technological changes,” said General Manager Mark Leonard.

“The long-term power of these gifts complements the strength of annual membership funds provided by the Friends of WILL. With 43 percent of our funding now coming from individuals and businesses, we see major gifts such as the Hopkins’ Endowment as an even more critical component for assuring WILL’s future.”

About endowments

An endowment is a self-renewing resource that the University of Illinois Foundation holds in perpetuity on behalf of a unit, such as WILL. Because endowed gifts are invested, it’s the earnings from these investments that help fund what donors wish to support. Only part of an endowment’s average annual investment return is used each year. The remainder gets channeled back into the fund so that it grows over time.

“Endowment funds are a source of solid, dependable support for WILL and can be easily tailored to support programming

Illinois Public Media’s programming about community hunger has won two Silver Awards of Distinction in the international 2012 Communicator Awards. It also was named a Bronze Winner in the 2012 Telly Awards.

A day of programming about hunger on WILL-TV, WILL-AM and the Web in November 2011 won the Communicator Awards’ Integrated Campaign-Social Responsibility category. Illinois Public Media’s Celeste Quinn, David Inge, Harriet Williamson, Sean Powers, Henry Radcliffe, Tracy Cain, Crystal Kang, Mary Barrineau, Rita Schulte, Mike Thomas, Kimberlie Kranich, Jack Brighton and Dan Davis worked on the hunger project.

Illinois Public Media’s video about the Wesley Evening Food Pantry in Urbana won in the Program/News-Social Responsibility category. Kimberlie Kranich produced the video, and Henry Radcliffe was the videographer and editor.

In the Telly Awards, Illinois Public Media’s video story about the Central Illinois Foodbank’s mobile food pantry won in the TV Programs, Segments-Social Responsibility category. Kimberlie was producer and Henry the videographer/editor.

WILL hunger programs win awards


Dispatch from CubaBy Stephen J. Lyons

Editor’s note: We asked Stephen, a local author and writer who joined WILL’s Cuba Tour May 13-21, to share his impressions of the country with Patterns readers.

Author Paul Theroux once wrote that “any country which displays more than one statue of the same living politician is a country headed for trouble.” In Cuba, a nation that has had its share of troubles, the most frequently displayed statuary is that of a dead man, national hero José Martí. He reigns supreme throughout the island nation of 11 million citizens, from the majestic José Martí Plaza in the French colonial coastal city of Cienfuegos to a simple unnamed park in the crowded municipality of Guanabacoa in eastern Havana to the José Martí International Airport, where the departure board in Terminal 2 features direct flights to Miami, and Miami only, courtesy of American Airlines, American Eagle and Skyking. (But don’t try to book flights through aa.com. Let’s say the business model is … fluid and complicated.)

Fidel Castro, Cuba’s most famous living politician, makes occasional appearances on billboards, including the massive silhouette bookending Plaza de la Revolución. The other bookend in the Plaza is the most popular iconic image in Cuba, and maybe in the world, that of Che Guevara, an Argentinean. (And, of course, there the impressive José Martí Memorial keeps vigil over the huge expanse of concrete in the Plaza.) Fidel and Che light up at night, perhaps one of the more dependable currents of electricity in Havana, a city of 2 million badly in need of plaster, paint, potable water, and an infusion of Yankee capital.


The tourist stalls are filled with Che memorabilia—Che caps with red stars and the tri-colored, five-striped Cuban flag; Che books and pamphlets; Che buttons, refrigerator magnets, and T-Shirts; and Che posters, even one with Lennon, John that is, with the caption “Imagine.”

Whatever I had imagined about Cuba before our “people-to-people” tour was of little use. In the scrubby landscape of rural southern Cuba, living conditions were poor, and animals were hungry if not starving. Women rubbed their arms, begging for soap. Men plowed fields with teams of oxen yoked to primitive single-row plows, rice dried in the open on roads, families got around on bicycles and in horse-drawn wagons; workers were transported to fields in open-bed trucks. Privately owned cars are rare. Even the famed 1950s-era cabs in Havana are state owned. The shelves in the bodega in ancient Trinidad, where citizens cashed in their monthly ration books, were sparse. In Cuba you learn to make do with what you don’t have.

People seemed better off in Havana (and in Cienfuegos, where there were more stores). Old Havana’s narrow, pedestrian-only streets led to delightful surprises: Solo guitarists, caricature artists, performers on stilts, bookstalls, outdoor cafes, and tourists from around the world. The four-mile Malecón, the sea wall that snakes along the Caribbean, was a pleasant respite from the

city and featured artwork celebrating the 11th Annual Havana Biennial, including a giant mirror titled “Happily Ever After.”

In a day-care center run by the Catholic Church in one of Havana’s poorest neighborhoods, children greeted us with songs, smiles and a poem. I found a shell by the sea. I thought of you. We brought them much needed supplies of books, pens, pencils and crayons. They need more … of everything.

In the Corona cigar factory we watched women roll tobacco in smoke-filled halls under sallow lighting. We were not allowed to take photos in the factory. Workers rarely last beyond seven years of toil. In a rare moment of candor, our guide said of the woman hunched over a workbench de-veining leaves: “This is not a good job, my friends.”

At the Hotel Nacional former U.N. diplomat Camilo Garcia Lopez-Trigo opened his lecture on U.S.-Cuba relations by warning, “This is not a beautiful story with a happy ending.” Yet history is organic, changing with each new moment. For me, and perhaps for most of the 28 members of our tour, our history with Cuba was just beginning. And the ending is far from being written.
