A Message to Our Members April is Public Radio Recognition
Month, a time when stations across the country signal their value to members 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 “Outstanding News Operation” in the downstate radio division of the Illinois Associated Press Broadcasters Association Journalism Excellence Contest. t AM 580 reporters Jim Meadows, Jeff Bossert and Tom Rogers

WILL-AM 580 news director Tom Rogers also won first place in the Best Newswriting category. The awards will be presented 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 players, music directors and more; while Vic DiGeronimo brings you great classical music and companionship all morning long.
And this month we are broadcasting live from the ChampaignUrbana 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 interviewed? 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!
WE SHALL REMAIN
A Powerful Story of Native History, Beautifully Told 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 expulsion 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.
s "Trail of Tears"
Now PBS’s acclaimed history series, American Experience, has partnered with Native American Public Telecommunications to produce We Shall Remain, a groundbreaking mini-series that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history.
The extensive project picks up in the 1600s with the Wampanoags, who used their alliance 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. s Geronimo
“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.
Tune in at 7:30 pm Wednesday, April 1, for a behind-the-scenes preview of this unprecedented collaboration 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 diplomatic 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 government and legal system, accepting Christianity and taking their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Documenting the Human-Nature Struggle in Appalachia Photo: Bill Lea
Appalachia’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 revolution. 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 interaction 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 Kingsolver and Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist E.O. Wilson. The series’ first installment, Time and Terrain, explores Appalachia’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.
American Originals on The Saturday Special Saturdays at 10 pm on FM 90.9
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 provide an inside look at life on tour with Willie Nelson on True Outlaw Stories April 4. Host Rodney Crowell introduces 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. PATTERNS • APRIL 2009
Another ordained minister had a variety of musical passions that included leading classical performers, jazz legends, and pop artists from the Rat Pack to Joan Baez. From Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s childhood piano lessons 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 Concert (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-
s A tree encompasses an old gravestone in Prague
etery in Prague explores this place of haunting beauty and mystery, which has endured wars and pogroms, floods and fires, assimilation and an urban clearing 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
conservationists 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 concentration 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.
Recognition for WILL’s Community Efforts CPB Community Impact Award
U of I Carnegie Designation
The Corporation for Public
WILL’s Youth Media Workshop and Young Learners Initiative projects helped the U of I achieve the community engagement classification of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
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 recognized by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for our ongoing 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.
s Students in Hoopeston
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 classrooms 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 providing educational services with measurable results.
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 collaboration.” 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 application for the Carnegie Foundation classification, 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-TV ends analog broadcasts 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 operate a phone bank on March 31 to help viewers who still have questions about the transition. Call 217-333-7300 for assistance.

“We can’t protect what we don’t understand.” – Jean-Michel Cousteau
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 environments. Now, 30 years later, Jacques’ son, Jean-Michel Cousteau, and his team have set sail to explore dangerous and spectacular locales across the globe.

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 highminded 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 Cappellazzo and Jerry Saltz.

Kickin’ It at Kickapoo 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.
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 paddleboating on the river.
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.
Volunteer for Clean Up Day at Kickapoo! If you enjoy Kickapoo State Park and are relieved that it’s still open for everyone
to visit, consider joining volunteers for the Keep Vermilion County Beautiful and WILL Public Media Kickapoo Cleanup Day from 8 am-1 pm Saturday, April 25. To sign up, call Jason Toellner at 443-6803. About 140 people volunteered at the first Kickapoo Cleanup Day last spring, and many more volunteers are needed this year to pick up trash, clear trails and more. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.
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 AfricanAmerican 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.
Handel Chamber Music & YBAC Winners Showcase Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:30 pm BACH continues its celebration of Handel with the Oboe Concerto in G Minor, and Handel Arias & Duets.
