June 2011 Volume XXXVIII, Number 12

Your voices made a difference

By Mark Leonard, General Manager As a supporter of Illinois Public Media, you are sure to have heard a lot about the proposed cuts in federal funding for public broadcasting. Several bills were introduced in both the House and Senate that threatened to reduce or eliminate support. In addition, cuts to our funding were also part of the negotiations for drafting and enacting the 2011 Continuing Resolution. I’m pleased to let you know that efforts to defund federal support for public broadcasting have, so far, been unsuccessful. Only one casualty has occurred, with funding for a federal equipment assistance program (NTIA/PTFP) eliminated from the budget.

It has been a challenging period, to say the least.

Federal support makes up about 25 percent of Illinois Public Media’s operating budget. Reductions in state and University funding have already occurred, and we have a limited capacity to absorb any additional reductions without a cutback in services. The financial challenges our country is facing are daunting—but the elimination of public broadcasting’s $420 million federal appropriation would have miniscule effect on the deficit. That funding represents an investment of $1.35 per year per citizen, an investment that the American public has repeatedly cited as the second best investment of federal tax dollars behind defense. This tiny investment results in programming that more than 170 million Americans take advantage of every month.

That’s where the website 170millionamericans.org got its name. Since its creation in January, almost 400,000 people have signed up to receive information about the funding of public broadcasting, including timely updates about legislative threats to funding. Subscribers to the site were armed with accurate information about the community impact of public radio and television, and the potential damage that would occur if these dramatic funding cuts were implemented.

will.illinois.edu

Discussions about raising the federal debt limit are now beginning, and budget planning for FY 2012 is just around the corner. Funding cuts for public broadcasting are sure to emerge again as we struggle for sound financial policy for our country. Please continue to follow this issue closely if you value what Illinois Public Media provides. The very existence of public media is in jeopardy. If that concerns you, I urge you to sign up for updates at 170millionamericans.org, and to continue to let your elected officials know your feelings about the value of public broadcasting.

June news series: Life on Route 150 Few highways link and unite east central Illinois like U.S. Route 150.

From Indiana, it enters the state east of Paris, heads due north through Edgar and Vermilion counties, bends west at Danville and parallels Interstate 74 through the towns of Oakwood, St. Joseph, ChampaignUrbana, Mahomet, Farmer City, LeRoy and Bloomington-Normal. It passes forests, cuts through miles of prairie and meanders through or near the area’s tiniest hamlets and largest communities.

Illinois Public Media (IPM) reporters have used Route 150 as the central thread for weeks of intensive reporting on matters that face us all: the spread of suburban development and the stability of small towns, access to food, health care or other services for rural and urban families, government funding problems that affect state parks, farms and cities. What you’ll hear from the people and places in our Life on Route 150 series mirrors the issues affecting our entire region.

For instance, one story will consider people’s access to healthy food. Sociologists are concerned about what they call “food deserts”: large areas without a convenient, nearby source of fresh meat or produce, where residents have to either make travel arrangements to an outlying store or make do with less nutritious, more expensive processed foods found at convenience stores. They may be in city neighborhoods or in rural areas that haven’t been served by a local grocery for years.

Many of the ideas for these stories come directly from community members who participated in recent community conversations as part of IPM’s engagement efforts. We want to make sure that our reporting matches and reflects the issues our listeners feel are most important to them.

You’ll hear features from the Life on Route 150 series throughout the month of June on Morning Edition and All Things Considered. You can also listen to stories and find pictures, data and other information related to Route 150 on IPM’s new community engagement website, WILLConnect.org.

Your pledge drive favorites return Many of the programs that proved most popular with our WILLTV supporters are back for the June pledge drive. Check the TV listings (page 12) for Saturday, June 4 through Sunday, June 12, for such favorites as Suze Orman’s Money Class; Rock, Pop and Doo Wop; Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughn In Session and Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2.

Rumblings of Imminence:

Zone c i m s i rid Se

When Nathaniel Schurter was a student at Southern Illinois University, he was surprised to see emergency instructions posted about how to deal with an earthquake. It was his first introduction to living in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Now the Champaign filmmaker has made a documentary about the zone, Rumblings of Imminence, airing at 7:30 pm Thursday, June 2, on WILL-TV.

Th

The program looks at a series of earthquakes near New Madrid, Mo., 200 years ago that rocked the entire eastern half of the North American continent. The event represents one of the largest releases of seismic energy anywhere in the world during the last 25,000 years.

Witnesses reported that the Mississippi River ran backwards, the ground rolled like the swells of an ocean and giant chasms opened

and closed in the ground. The original settlement of New Madrid fell away into the Mississippi River. For the people living in the region, it seemed as though the end of the world was upon them.

The documentary also examines the likelihood of an earthquake in the zone today, and how it could have an impact far beyond the Midwest. “It’s clear that the Midwest is ill-prepared for another earthquake,” Schurter said.

“Much work needs to be done if we hope to avoid a major catastrophe.”

Little girl, big talent Jackie Evancho: Dream with Me in Concert (7 pm Sunday, June 5, WILL-TV) marks the solo concert debut of the 11-year-old girl with an extraordinary soprano voice. After her debut on America’s Got Talent, she was the youngest star of Great Performances’ Hitman Returns: David Foster & Friends that aired on WILL-TV in March.

In that program, she performed virtuoso interpretations of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu and Puccini’s O Mio Babbino Caro.

This new Great Performances concert, filmed on the grounds of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., will celebrate the release of her first full-length CD. 2 PATTERNS • JUNE 2011

A new series on WILL-AM this month looks at some of the big debates in the field of American education. Whose responsibility is it to provide public education? How should it be funded? Who should determine a public school’s curriculum?

Should teachers be held accountable for student achievement?

Elizabeth Goldsmith-Conley, a ChampaignUrbana educator who has taught at every level from nursery school through college, is producer and host of the four-part series, Examining Education, airing at 6 pm Saturdays.

“Educational issues are being debated and getting a lot of news coverage. There’s the race to the top, teacher accountability, along with adopting core standards and whether that means a national curriculum,” she said. “The series looks at some of these issues and tries to put them in a broad context.”

The first part about the responsibility of providing education features James Anderson, University of Illinois professor of educational policy studies, and Andrew Coulson of the Cato Institute, who debate the best way to achieve a quality education for all children. Anderson believes it’s the state’s responsibility and Coulson thinks a more efficient path to universal literacy is through the marketplace.

In part two about the funding of public education, Ralph Martire, executive director of the bipartisan Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, analyzes school funding problems in Illinois and offers solutions. Other experts discuss the pros and cons of privatizing public education.

Part three on school curriculum features Judy Wiegand, director of secondary curriculum and staff development for the Champaign School District, explaining the factors that shape the actual curriculum of the district’s schools.

Other guests will include

nationally known educational experts who will provide an overview of the historical forces and ideas that shape curriculum, and look at the Common Core State Standards movement.

Part four covers teacher accountability.

How accountable are teachers for student achievement? How should they be evaluated? One of the guests will be Thomas Kane, a Harvard professor who is project director of a Gates Foundation study exploring the effectiveness of valueadded assessment of teachers.

For a full list of and information about the experts interviewed in the series, visit examiningeducation.org.

It must be summer — the History Detectives are back!

The History Detectives begin their 2011 season at 7 pm Tuesday, June 21.

Mysterious airplane engine parts lead Eduardo Pagán to a forbidden Hawaiian island where he finds a heroic story often overshadowed by the raid on Pearl Harbor.

Then Elyse Luray tries to match metal shavings to the right cannon. What role did these shavings play in the early hours of the Civil War? An early 20th century saddle puts Wes Cowan on the trail of Yakima Cunutt. How did this rodeo champion change Hollywood movie-making?

At 8 pm Tuesday, June 28, Wes Cowan decodes the message and the strategy behind a U.S. World War II propaganda leaflet. Next, Gwen Wright traces a cherished family watercolor painting to the world of Tiffany stained glass to discover how Tiffany opened a window of opportunity for early 20th century women. And almost a century later, Tukufu Zuberi unites a nephew and a son of two Spanish Civil War soldiers immortalized in a touching eulogy.

New cases challenge Poirot Masterpiece Mystery! brings back David Suchet as suave Belgian super sleuth Hercule Poirot in new mysteries based on the novels by Agatha Christie.

In Poirot: Three Act Tragedy (8 pm Sunday, June 19), the detective’s friend Sir Charles Cartwright hosts a cocktail party at his home where a local reverend chokes to death. Murder seems impossible, but when a second guest dies under similar circumstances, Poirot investigates further. Then, in Poirot: The Clocks (8 pm Sunday, June 26) the sleuth assists in a murder investigation, but mounting complications cause him to suspect an international political cover-up.

PNC grant funds expansion of Book Mentor Project A three-year, $90,000 grant from the PNC Foundation will allow Illinois Public Media to expand its Book Mentor Project into every Champaign County Head Start preschool classroom.

The project, now serving about 500 children, will train more volunteers to read and lead math and science activities in Head Start classrooms, enabling an additional 276 children to be served, said Molly Delaney, educational outreach director at Illinois Public Media. As part of the project, PNC employees will become volunteers for the Book Mentor Project and assume other volunteer roles in Head Start classrooms.

“Our support of pre-K education in Champaign is a strategic initiative to address the changing needs of an economy that is increasingly based on knowledge and skills,” said PNC Regional President Doug Stewart.

“Research has shown us that children who are prepared for kindergarten are far more likely to experience greater educational achievements, strive toward higher vocational aspirations and contribute to society later in life.”

The grant is the PNC Foundation’s first major initiative in the Champaign area and marks the local launch of PNC Grow Up Great, a 10-year, $100 million bilingual program to improve early childhood education.

Activities also include trips to the William M. Staerkel Planetarium at Parkland College and the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum. At the planetarium, children will view One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure, which introduces children to the night sky while forging cross-cultural connections. The planetarium show was created

by Sesame Workshop with support from PNC and the National Science Foundation.

Head Start families will be invited to four family nights at the planetarium where they can view a planetarium show and interact with their children at nine hands-on science activity stations set up around the 18 PATTERNS • JUNE 2011

planetarium lobby. These activity stations will use materials from Super Fab Lab kits developed by Illinois Public Media.

“We’ve always wanted to serve all the Head Start classrooms, but didn’t have the resources,” Molly said. “This grant enables us not only to serve all the children, but to provide wonderful learning field trips and family nights, and to create learning kits for the classroom.”

Illinois Public Media’s Book Mentor Project combines media with books and activities in an effort to get children excited about reading and learning. On the day the volunteer readers visit the classroom, each child receives a copy of the book to take home. By the end of the school year, each child has added six science-related books to his/her home library.

The Super Fab Lab kits on nine different topics will rotate around the four Head Start locations and will contain books, tools and hands-on activities to support science learning. Illinois Public Media will provide training for teachers and volunteers about how to encourage inquirybased learning and support observation through these kits.

The Independent Lens film Two Spirits interweaves the tragic story of a mother’s loss of her son with a revealing look at the largely unknown history of a time when the world wasn’t simply divided into male and female, and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders.

Join us for Illinois Public Media’s free public screening of the film followed by an audience-driven discussion at 3 pm Saturday, June 11, as part of the LGBTQA Film Festival sponsored by the UP Center of Champaign County at the Art Theatre, 126 W. Church St., Champaign.

The film will be shown with closed-captions for the hearing impaired and an English sign language interpreter will sign the discussion.

The grant will also enable Illinois Public Media to produce one or two public awareness campaigns about health and activity issues, and extend the employment of a part-time coordinator for C-U Fit Families, a diverse coalition of groups that want to increase active living in the community. The coordinator is now paid by a grant from the University of Illinois Vice Chancellor’s Office for Public Engagement.

Kimberlie Kranich, director of community engagement for Illinois Public Media, said Illinois has the fourth highest prevalence of childhood obesity in the nation and ranks in the top 10 states for the highest prevalence of adolescents who are overweight or obese.

“Research has shown that raising community awareness can mobilize members of the community to enact changes,” she said. “We hope our reports and messaging campaigns will make people aware of local health resources in the community, and encourage people willing to take their next step towards health.”

Three years of conversation among groups involved in C-U Fit Families has created hope among the network of people interested in tackling obesity, Kimberlie said.

“Now we want to move to the next level and connect content and local resources to people in Champaign-Urbana. This grant will help us do that.”

WILL’s general manager, Mark Leonard, agreed. “Jack fully participated in life, whether it was with his career, his family or his philanthropy. His civic leadership was from a previous era, sorely missing today,” he said.

Remembering Jack Richmond WILL lost a special friend and ChampaignUrbana lost a valuable member of the community with the death of Jack Richmond, 93, on Sunday, April 17. He and his wife, Marjorie, provided the generous gift that funded the Richmond Journalism Teaching Studio adjacent to Campbell Hall.

“Jack always followed student productions that originated in the Studio,” said Bill Sturtevant, senior principal gifts consultant with the University of Illinois Foundation, who was a friend of Jack’s for 30 years and worked closely with him on his numerous gifts to the U of I. “He liked funding projects that benefited young people, the University and the community.”

Among the Richmonds’ financial support for the U of I were gifts for student scholarships, the athletics department and the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. Beyond the campus, they donated to the restoration of the Champaign County Courthouse clock tower. Jack was also a volunteer fundraiser for the local Salvation Army, as well as a longtime Champaign Lions Club member whose leadership on the organization’s board was instrumental to the club’s success.

The gregarious lifelong Champaign resident was a master storyteller who quickly put people at ease. “No one was ever a stranger to Jack, and it was easy to see why he did so well during his career in sales,” Bill commented.
