september 2011 Volume XXXIX, Number 3 Sharing remembrances and conversations By Mark Leonard General Manager
This month marks a watershed anniversary in our nation’s history. It has been 10 years since the tragic terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. We all have powerful memories of that fateful day. We will be sharing some of those recollections through our special programming on AM 580, FM 90.9, and WILL television in the week leading up to and on Sept. 11, 2011. Public media seeks to provide insight, compassion, perspective and context. As we look back on the events of 9/11, I hope that we can bring some of these values to the public conversation. What have we learned since then? How has it changed us? Where do we go from here? I hope you join us for remembrances, commentary and music as we reflect on a day still etched in our collective memory. For about two years, WILL has been convening small groups of citizens from throughout our region for conversations to discuss issues and ideas that affect their communities. We’ve received input from you about what matters, what you are concerned about and what you value. This helps us shape our news reporting, features and program productions. Perhaps you heard our Life on Route 150 series—these special programs were a direct outgrowth of our listening sessions, helping to better tell the stories of our region. We are a community resource, a sounding board, a content creator and, hopefully, a trusted friend. Our loyalty is to you, not to advertisers. Our programs are selected because of their importance, not their ability to attract the largest audience. We remain a unique institution in the media landscape, and one that routinely has its future relevance questioned. Threats to funding continue, so we will continue to earn your trust and your support every day. We need it now more than ever. As a trusted friend, please feel free to question and challenge us when you feel we are adrift. At the same time, we hope you understand that change will be essential as we adapt to technology innovations and changing viewer/listener habits. And if you ever want to have a face to face conversation with us, we’re always willing to come to your town to talk!
years later: How the nation has changed A special day of programming on WILL radio, television and online will observe the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and examine how individual lives and the nation have changed since that day. On the Sunday anniversary, tune in at 7:46 am for a live broadcast of the University of Illinois Black Chorus memorial concert on WILL-FM 101.1 and 90.9 HD2. The chorus, under the direction of Ollie Watts Davis, begins its 12-minute performance at the time the first hijacked jetliner crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The U of I School of Music concert at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts is an annual event. From 7 am to 5 pm on WILL-AM 580, NPR News will capture the events of the anniversary from Ground Zero to the Pentagon to Shanksville and beyond, looking at how America has changed since Sept. 11. NPR coverage airs from 7-9 am and 4-5 pm on FM 90.9. On WILL-TV, the PBS NewsHour plans a special retrospective, America Remembers 9/11 at 7 pm, including highlights from the day’s memorial events and interviews with Above photo: Courtesy of ©Copyright REUTERS/Russell Boyce
people personally affected by the tragedy. At 8 pm, Great Performances presents The New York Philharmonic 10th Anniversary Concert for 9/11, a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection,” in honor of the Sept. 11 victims, in a free concert for the people of New York. The concert also will be featured at 7 pm Tuesday, Sept. 20, on The Evening Concert on WILL-FM 90.9. In the week leading up to the anniversary, Illinois Public Media News reporters will bring you stories on how 9/11 continues to affect people in central Illinois. Stories they’re working on include a follow-up with Muslims we interviewed just after 9/11 when they felt the burden of the attacks even as they were horrified by them; a look at how 9/11 is being taught in central Illinois classrooms, especially for children who are too young to remember it; and a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Grove inside Champaign County’s River Bend Forest Preserve, where we’ll gauge if our memorials withstand the test of fading memories. The reports will air on Morning Edition and The Afternoon Magazine, and will be archived online at will.illinois.edu. For more PBS 9/11 programming, see the next page. PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2011 1
Exploring 9/11 issues of the last decade In the week leading up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Frontline: Top Secret America at 8 pm Tuesday, Sept. 6, examines how a decade of fighting terrorism—from the creation of “black site” prisons abroad and super-secret facilities here in America, to targeted killings and covert wars waged by special forces—has reshaped the country and whether it has made us safer. NOVA: Engineering Ground Zero at 8 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7, follows the five-year construction of One World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. NOVA captures the behind-the-scenes struggle to make the buildings safe and secure under the pressures of a tight schedule and the public’s expectations of a fitting site for national remembrance. Frontline repeats its critically acclaimed film Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero at 9 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7, exploring how peoples’ beliefs—and unbelief—have been challenged since Sept. 11. After the anniversary, at 8 pm Tuesday, Sept. 13, Frontline presents The Man Behind the Mosque, about the most controversial building in America, a mostly derelict property in lower Manhattan made infamous overnight as the Ground Zero Mosque. Frontline tells the inside story of real estate developer Sharif El-Gamal, and of the victims’ relatives and antiIslam activists who helped turn his project into a continuing battle over faith, values and the meaning of being American. 2 PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2011

The new fiscal year is in full swing, complete with your first opportunity to show support for programs on WILL-TV. Our September fundraising drive will take place Sept. 3-5 (Labor Day weekend) and Thursday, Sept. 15, to Sunday, Sept. 18. As always, we’re offering great concerts you can enjoy from your front-row seat at home. We’ve listed a few highlights, but check the TV listings for more programs.
The Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand and Foreigner on the same weekend The Bee Gees: One Night Only (10 pm Friday, Sept. 16, WILL-TV) showcases the group’s 1997 concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, featuring many of their greatest hits. Then at 8:40 pm Saturday, Sept. 17, on WILL-TV, don’t miss Barbra Streisand—One Night Only at the Village Vanguard. The intimate setting of this iconic 1960s club was the setting for a rare and very personal concert by Streisand in September 2009 when she performed the biggest hits from throughout her half-century career. At 11:30 pm that night on WILL-TV, a new public television special celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of Foreigner 4. Filmed in March 2011 at the historic, Chicago-area Arcada Theatre, Foreigner: Live in Chicago features songs from the multi-million-selling iconic album and many of the group’s other hits.
Celebrating a life dedicated to justice Cruz Reynoso: Sowing the Seeds of Justice (9 pm Monday, Sept. 19) paints a portrait of a man, touched by injustice as a child, who dedicated his life to fighting discrimination and inequality as a lawyer, judge and teacher. The compelling biography, told through a combination of archival footage and interviews, charts Cruz Reynoso’s humble origins, his appointment to the California Supreme Court (the first Latino justice to serve in the state’s highest court) and more recently, his leadership on the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights. Program updates on Need to Know and This Old House Hour Need to Know, part of the Friday Night Public Affairs lineup on WILL-TV, becomes a half-hour show with the Sept. 16 program. Also, beginning this month, This Old House Hour will air only at 4:30 pm Saturdays. PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2011 3

Labor Day specials on WILL-AM Settled by Spanish conquistadors in 1598, the Española Valley of northern New Mexico boasts a rich cultural past evident in its music, art and way of life. Now, changing demographics, along with a shift in the local economy, have left many residents without land, water and a sense of identity. State of the Re:Union travels to the area to discover what the rest of the country can learn from this still vital region of the American Southwest, including ancient water distribution methods. This report airs at 10 am Monday, Sept. 5.

Longtime educator inspires memorial gift With the start of the traditional school year, thoughts turn to memories of those educators whose dedicated guidance shaped our lives. Gilbert Apfelstadt was undoubtedly in that special category of teachers after devoting 36 years to elementary school students in Indiana. Following his death in March, Gilbert’s three sons—Gary, Marc and Eric—chose to honor their dad with a memorial gift to WILL on Father’s Day weekend. Known as “Mr. A” to his students, Gilbert spent the first 14 years of his career in both the classroom and administration of schools in and around Logansport, Ind.
Gary, an Urbana Middle School teacher, regards WILL AM, FM and TV as valuable companions first discovered when he moved to Urbana 35 years ago to attend graduate school at the University of Illinois. Among his current favorites are the “truly inspiring programs” of From the Top (1 pm Sundays, WILL-FM). Marc, a retired systems engineer, is also a U of I alum, earning a master’s degree in music performance, as well as a doctorate of musical arts from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Eric is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at St. Martin’s University in Lacey, Wash. He received master’s and doctorate degrees from Princeton University. “Our gift was an opportunity to honor the high value and quality of work in fine arts, insightful entertainment and current world events championed by both WILL and my dad,” Gary explained. “I realized what a depth of musical performance and appreciation my parents provided for our family, church and among those touched in their careers. In the same way, I recognize the tremendous value of programs and community outreach provided by WILL.”

6 pm Tuesday, Sept. 6, in Robeson Rooms A & B of the Champaign Public Library, which is partnering with Illinois Public Media to present the 10-film Community Cinema series.
New Community Cinema screenings Illinois Public Media kicks off the 20112012 season of its monthly Community Cinema series this month with Pray the Devil Back to Hell, chronicling the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. Thousands of women—both Christian and Muslim—came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about an agreement during the stalled peace talks. Inspiring, uplifting and motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations. A free screening of the film and a discussion of issues it raises will be held at
“These great films from PBS are available to Illinois Public Media,” said Kimberlie Kranich, director of community engagement at IPM. “We want to not just air them on television, but bring people together to watch them and discuss the local issues they raise. That way we’re learning from each other and reflecting back to the community what we learn.” Listen to audio of discussions from last year’s Community Cinema screenings at IPM’s WILL Connect website: willconnect. org/projects/cinema/. Other upcoming films include Deaf Jam in October about deaf teens stepping into the world of the youth poetry slams with their hearing peers, and We Still Live Here (Âs Nutayuneân) about the return of the Wampanoag language, the first time a language with no native speakers has been revived in this country. Each of the 10 films will also air on WILLTV after the screenings as part of the Independent Lens series. Pray the Devil Back to Hell airs in October.
