What’s coming from PBS By 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!

▼ The Antique Pickers Miller Gaffney, John Bruno, Bob Richter and Kevin Bruneau.
Program pits pickers in pursuit of purchases 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 • Kevin Bruneau of Rhode Island has owned and operated an antiques business for more than two decades and is fluent in the world of buying and selling antiques and collectibles in the online marketplace. Kevin is on the road hundreds of miles per week in search of antiques and the next, great find.
• Miller Gaffney, a native of South Carolina, honed her eye for antiques and collecting over the years at places such as Sotheby’s Institute of Art. She is a licensed appraiser and the proprietor of an art advisory service that she founded in 2006. • Bob Richter (below), originally from Pennsylvania and now a resident of New York City, comes to Market Warriors as a lifelong collector and with the sensibility of an interior designer. He’s a regular at flea markets and furniture shops near his home. The program, from the producers of Antiques Roadshow, airs at 8 pm Mondays starting July 16, on WILL-TV.
• John Bruno, a native New Yorker who now lives in New Hampshire, is an industry veteran: an antiques and collectibles dealer and collector for 40 years, and an appraiser for more than 25 years. Along with his wife Tina, he runs one of the largest antiques show promotion/management organizations in the Northeast. PATTERNS • JULY 2012 1
Thirty years after the discovery of the AIDS virus among gay white men, nearly half of the 1 million people in the United States infected with HIV are black men, women and children. Endgame: AIDS in Black America explores one of the country’s most urgent, preventable health crises, tracing the epidemic’s history through the experiences of those willing to share their stories—people like Nel, a 63-year-old grandmother who married a deacon in her church and later found an HIV diagnosis tucked into his Bible; Tom and Keith, survivors who were born with the virus in the early 1990s; and Jovante, a high school football player who didn’t realize what HIV meant until it was too late. This Frontline program airs at 8 pm Tuesday, July 10, on WILL-TV.

Exploring the AIDS crisis
s One of the successes of the 30-year battle against HIV is the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Since the mid-1990s, expectant mothers can be treated with medicines that drastically reduce the amount of virus in the mother’s body and protect the baby during birth.
Pallets of thanks to Common Ground and Provena! These organizations partnered with WILL and the Friends of WILL to underwrite the cost of donating meals to Eastern Illinois Foodbank during our radio and TV fundraising drives. The generosity of Common Ground Food Co-op and Provena Covenant Medical Center contributed more than 6,200 meals! s

Third in WILL Connect series
Food in farm country: A special day of broadcasting The growing movement to eat food grown in central Illinois is the focus of a day of programming airing on WILL-AM and WILL-TV on Thursday, July 19. It’s the third special day of programming in our WILL Connect series focusing on issues in the central Illinois region. First at 10 am, WILL-AM’s Focus looks at finding food in farm country. We’ll look at farming in central Illinois and movements to build economic recovery through local food systems. At 11 am, Focus highlights eating well affordably, with Linda Watson, author of Wildly Affordable Organic: Eat Fabulous Food, Get Healthy and Save the Planet All on $5 a Day or Less. At 7:30 pm on WILL-TV, Home Fields: Digging into Local Food, produced by Nebraska Educational Television, will explore the local food movement in Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa and its future as a sustainable industry. Reporter/ producer Clay Masters looks through the lens of Midwest producers, consumers, grocery store owners, restaurateurs and researchers to understand how local food networks operate. Then at 8 pm on WILL-TV, our WILL Connect series presents C-U Digging into Local Food in partnership with CUCitizenAccess.org. This studio-based discussion centers around local food
production efforts and consumption of locally produced food in ChampaignUrbana. Video stories will look at Urbana’s Market at the Square, a producer-only market that serves as a gateway for those interested in the local food movement by directly connecting shoppers to producers; Champaign’s Randolph Street Community Garden, where a younger set of gardeners grow relationships, life skills and economic opportunities with their work on Randolph Street; and efforts underway to start cooking classes in Champaign-Urbana on how to prepare healthy meals on a budget. In a related program, at 10 am on Wednesday, July 18, Craig Cohen hosts a Focus interview with Janine MacLachlan, author of Farmers Markets of the Heartland, in which Urbana Market at the Square director Lisa Bralts and Urbana market vendor Prairie Fruits Farm are featured.

History Detectives returns!
s Guitar expert Andy Babiuk helps Elyse Luray determine whether this guitar is the one Bob Dylan played at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
In the 10th season premiere episode, Elyse Luray and Wes Cowan investigate whether they have found rock’s Holy Grail, the longlost electric Fender Stratocaster Bob Dylan plugged in at the ’65 Newport Folk Festival, changing rock ’n’ roll forever. Tukufu Zuberi tracks down some autographs allegedly signed for two brothers in Miami Beach during the Beatles’ legendary 1964 British invasion tour of the United States. Finally, Gwendolyn Wright investigates a $5 thrift store find and unearths a little-known artistic side of musical iconoclast Frank Zappa. New episodes of History Detectives air at 8 pm Tuesdays beginning July 17, on WILL-TV. PATTERNS • JULY 2012 3

“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.
Evening Concert specials At 7 pm Wednesday, July 4, enjoy a special of American favorites and other classical music spectaculars from the Friends of WILL CD Library, hosted by Vincent Trauth. Then at 7 pm Saturday, July 14, a special edition of American Routes celebrates what would have been the 100th birthday of folk music troubadour and social commentator Woody Guthrie, pictured above.
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.

That was one part of the tour that was designed to supplement the students’ social studies curriculum.

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

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.

Choosing to help shape the future of WILL 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 18 PATTERNS • JULY 2012
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.”
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
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.”
WILL hunger programs win awards A day of programming about hunger on WILL-TV, WILLAM and the Web in November 2011 won the Communicator Awards’ Integrated CampaignSocial 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 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.
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.

Dispatch from Cuba By 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. 20 PATTERNS • JULY 2012
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, pedestrianonly 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 deveining 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. s Photos: (far left) Girl in Trinidad; (above, left to right): Children in Havana day care, statue of José Martí in Cienfuegos, street performers in Havana, old Havana PATTERNS • JULY 2012 21
