This year WFIU turned 60! That’s 60 years of education, entertainment, and community service that enriches the lives of thousands of listeners.

We have come a long way since the 1950s when the broadcast week averaged 37.5 hours. Back then programs were few, and our relatively uncomplicated technology evolved at a leisurely pace.

Christina Kuzmych As late as 1984, LPs were still cataloged using a card catalog system; local programs were recorded on reel-to-reel tape and laboriously edited with a razor and splicing tape. Programs were delivered by mail, and if late, a staff member rushed to Indianapolis to get a copy. Stations were eagerly awaiting a brand new technology just around the corner—CDs! No one anticipated the explosive changes that would rock the media world: a proliferation of TV and satellite channels posing new competition, the spread of the Internet and its ability to provide station streams from around the world, and the emergence of a different type of media user—one who accessed content over a variety of platforms and listened on his/her time.

Though radio dominated the media choice menu, there was no doubt that other platforms were becoming increasingly attractive to listeners.

WFIU needed to maintain a strong radio service while, at the same time, meet the needs of multi-platform listeners. This meant finding ways in which our product and services could thrive on emerging platforms. In addition, we had to operate within a tight budget that routinely was threatened by state and federal funding cuts. Our producers and engineers met these challenges, and over the last decade, several major shifts prepared WFIU for the future.

To address a growing listener desire for local content, WFIU shifted from a program pass-through station to a producer of local and national content. Though we continue to broadcast flagship national programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Performance Today, we also create programs such as Harmonia, Night Lights, A Moment of Science, and a number of topic-oriented programs for local and national audiences, and on a variety of platforms.

In addition, we began online-only production with podcasts of programs such as Earth Eats, Ether Game, Harmonia, and Kinsey Confidential, which can reach non-radio consumers. The result has been very satisfying. More and more local voices now populate our airwaves. Often these voices reach global audiences and bring rich Indiana resources to national and international attention.

To better serve our existing strong radio audience, translators were built in Terre Haute, Columbus, Kokomo, Greensburg, and French Lick/West Baden. Although new digital platforms are on the rise, we realize that most current and immediate future listening is still done on radio. A new signal (WFIU HD2) for home and online use was also added, providing more radio programming options and creating the infrastructure for expanded online programming.

Bloomington 103.7 fm • Columbus 100.7 fm • French Lick/West Baden 101.7 fm

Much of our cultural programming was refocused from announcer-assisted, CD-spin programs to on-site reporting on music and the arts. This change of philosophy has encouraged community reporting and interaction with members in the arts community. Programs such as Artworks, daily features, and area performance reviews entered the schedule.

And our online efforts were built in a way that could position WFIU as a center for community discussion and discourse.

News capacity increased, adding local programs such as Noon Edition and Ask the Mayor. WFIU restructured the news area into a multi-platform division that includes radio, online, and television.

And as a long-time member of Indiana’s public broadcasting consortium (IPBS), WFIU continues to play a pivotal role in organizing the state news service which reports daily from the Statehouse.

WFIU was, and continues to be, an early adapter of new technology. We were one of the first public radio stations to create an accompanying Web site in the early 1990s, and one of the first to anticipate the influx of new generations of on-demand listeners and social media users. We’ve addressed these trends through strong interactive online content.

You may not know that WFIU is considered a national leader in innovative multi-platform programming that includes online versions of traditional programs as well as a variety of new, online-only content. For the month of September 2010, WFIU’s online service peaked at 100,000 users.

A robust involvement in online development enabled WFIU to venture more boldly into emerging areas of online

fundraising. To date, online-only fund drives were tried out with Night Lights, Harmonia, and A Moment of Science, and the initial results are encouraging. One advantage of online-only solicitation on nationally distributed programs is that it targets a global online audience and creates a new pool of supporters.

As we celebrate WFIU’s 60th anniversary we ask: what makes WFIU strong? The answer is surprisingly simple—strong licensee support, talented and innovative staff, and an engaged and generous listenership.

IU has been extremely supportive over the years, and there is no doubt that our staff is exemplary. And then there is you—the listeners who have supported WFIU over the decades. Your financial contributions have helped us weather funding droughts that crippled many of our colleague stations.

You, individual and corporate supporters, are the most reliable source of financial support we have. Your support protects us from external turbulence.

Without you, WFIU’s role as a community resource would be severely limited.

Please reconfirm your support to WFIU during this 60th anniversary fund drive.

Our goal of $350,000 will fund our shared vision of public radio’s core mission—to provide citizens with media content that lets them learn, make informed decisions, and enjoy their cultural treasures.

Happy 60th, listeners!

Gerald Sousa

Sylvia McNair

Gerald Sousa, music director of the Bloomington Chamber Singers, developed the ensemble into a vital part of the Bloomington musical scene. Under his baton, the group has performed many great masterworks, including J. S. Bach’s two great Passions and B minor Mass, Haydn’s Creation and Seasons, and Mozart’s C minor Mass and Requiem.

Sylvia McNair’s twenty-five-year career singing opera, oratorio, cabaret, and musical theater has taken her from the Metropolitan Opera to the Salzburg Festival, the New York Philharmonic to the Rainbow Room, and the Ravinia Festival to The Plaza.

Charles Latshaw, music director of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, is dedicated to bringing orchestral music to new and broader audiences. He has premiered over twenty new pieces for ensembles ranging from Charles Latshaw chamber groups to youth orchestras and full symphonies.

Plum, the Monroe County Humane Association spokesdog for 2010, is our inspiration for a day dedicated to animal lovers. On Wednesday, October 10th, you’re invited to pledge on behalf of your beloved pet Plum (or pets).

A Mini-History of WFIU

Rolla Roy Ramsey’s (extreme left) historic radio demonstration, January 5, 1922

1922 On January 5, IU physics professor Rolla Roy Ramsey conducts a demonstration of “wireless telephony” for a group of 75 students and faculty. Ramsey’s experiments spark the first calls for a radio station on campus.

1937 Professor Lee Norvelle of the Department of Speech and Theater contracts with WIRE of Indianapolis to produce IU’s first regular radio programs, a series of eclectic quarter-hour music and discussion segments.

1942 Professor H.J. Skornia comes to IU as director of radio programs (then a part of the Department of Speech). He begins a massive push for a campus radio station.

1944 The IU Board of Trustees issues a proclamation that “it would be desirable and practicable for Indiana University to own and operate a frequency modulation [fm] noncommercial educational broadcast station.”

1947 The first regular season of The Indiana School of the Sky begins on October 6. The 15-minute program airs every weekday as an educational supplement for elementary and

high school classrooms around the state. In its first season, twelve stations carry the program and nearly a quarter of Indiana’s high schools tune in during the year.

1959

WFIU moves on the FM band from 90.9 to 103.7 to eliminate local TV interference problems.

The WFIU library has grown to 7,500 LPs.

The broadcast day is extended by one hour, 12:55 p.m. to 11:15 p.m.

In March, the station carries its first Metropolitan Opera broadcast. (WHAS in Louisville tapes the live Saturday production and sends it to WFIU for broadcast on Tuesday evenings.)

In May, WFIU initiates Jazz Review, a scripted 15-minute program produced by two IU students, Phillip Jones and Richard (“Dick”) Bishop. The appearance of this program marks the beginning of WFIU’s continuing commitment to jazz programming.

1958

1960

The Indiana University Sports Network is launched in September just in time for the football opener, an 18-0 loss to Notre Dame in South Bend. The brainchild of Professor Dick Yoakam, the IUSN originates broadcasts that are then relayed by partner stations all over the state. The program aims to give aspiring announcers broadcasting opportunities, and for its first three years, Dick Enberg, a graduate student of IU’s School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, is student announcer.

WFIU receives permission to broadcast Met Opera productions live on Saturday afternoons during the 1960-61 season. This makes WFIU the only Met broadcast in the state of Indiana, and one of only two university stations to have carried the Met up to this point in time.

1953

1950 The IU Department of Radio is created.

The FCC approves application for construction for a FM broadcast station licensed to the trustees of Indiana University with call letters “WFIU” and a frequency of 90.9 FM. Construction is commenced in the late spring and completed on September 26.

WFIU’s first broadcast takes place on September 30, 1950.

During its first nine months of operation, the station averages 37.5 hours of programming per week. Residents of nearby dorms occasionally report picking up the station on dental fillings, eyeglasses, and electric shavers.

Almost immediately, Bloomington television viewers begin complaining that the WFIU signal interferes with WFBM-TV out of Indianapolis, which had been reaching Bloomington by a freak of the land. WFIU restricts its broadcast to hours when TV is not broadcasting and works with RCA to install local TV sets with “wave traps” to block the far stronger WFIU signal.

The broadcast day extends from 12:55 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.

Ross Allen joins us as host of Your Sunday Opera.

1955 There are 2,500 LPs in the WFIU library.

1962 In October, WFIU carries its first broadcast live from Recital Hall in the IU School of Music.

(We believe this to have been a piano recital by faculty member Menahem Pressler.)

1963 WFIU moves into the new Indiana University Radio-TV Center, its present home.

A Salute in Song for Veterans Day

The Changing World

Sunday, November 14, 4 p.m.

“World Stories, Part 1”

First known as Armistice Day, November 11th is the day that The Great War officially ended when the armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

For that reason, November 11, 1918, is regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars” and the date is now recognized in the U.S. as Veterans Day.

Featured Contemporary Composer

Sunday, November 14, 8 p.m.

Over the last five decades Kabul has witnessed seven regime changes, harsh periods of civil war, and the destruction of neighborhoods. Thousands of lives have been changed beyond recognition. What has that meant for the people who live there?

The BBC’s Meena Baktash tells a story of the Kabul she grew up in; a rollercoaster ride of shifting rules and violence, but also a place of beauty, vibrant culture, and inspiring people.

WWI veteran

This musical tribute to our veterans begins with the music and history of World War I, then moves quickly to World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

You’ll hear songs from Steppenwolf; the Navy Band’s Country Current; the BBC Orchestra & Royal Air Force Band; Jefferson Airplane; the Glenn Miller Orchestra; Bette Midler; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; country music star Toby Keith; plus music from Broadway shows Phantom of the Opera, The King and I, and Hair; and a unique song about the Gulf War from an unknown talent.

You’ll also witness the heartfelt remembrances of D-Day veterans, Vietnam disc jockey Adrian Cronauer (subject of the movie 1987 movie Good Morning, Vietnam in which he was portrayed by Robin Williams), Generals Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell, and the voices of Presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Obama.

You may be surprised to find out that strife over our entry into war has included more than just Vietnam and Iraq. We cite the hardships of combat, and honor our fighting men and women for their efforts.

From World War I to Iraq and Afghanistan, this audio journey ties together history and music with thoughtfulness and respect for our men and women in uniform.

The BBC’s Rustam Qobil focuses on those who are known as Afghanistan’s “beardless boys,” or “bacha bereesh.”

Often the boy dancers, some as young as twelve, become the sexual slaves of their wealthy and powerful patrons.

“World Stories, Part 2” Sunday, November 28, 8 p.m.

We continue our series of special reports from the BBC’s language services with a look at the Children of Pedro Pan. Between 1960 and 1962, 14,000 Cuban children were sent away by their parents to live in the United States in what is now known as Operation Pedro Pan (Peter Pan). It was an attempt to seek a better life for Cuba’s younger generation.

Now, a half-century later, the BBC’s Luis Fajardo meets some of the Pedro Pan generation, and finds out what it’s been like to live far from loved ones, and watch Cuba evolve from a distance.

The BBC’s Afshin Dekhordi takes us to Iran, a country facing a media revolution through blogs, social networking sites, mobile phones, and Bluetooth.

WFIU’s featured composer for November is José Serebrier.

Serebrier was born in Montevideo, Uruguay of Russian and Polish parents.

At the age of nine he began to study the violin, and at age eleven made José Serebrier his conducting debut. While in high school he organized and conducted the first youth orchestra in Uruguay, which toured the country and gave more than one hundred concerts over four years.

In 1956 and1957 he received a United States State Department Fellowship to study composition at the Curtis Institute of Music with Bohuslav Martinu and Vittorio Giannini, and with Aaron Copland at Tanglewood.

Serebrier received his MA from the University of Minnesota in 1960 where he wrote Elegy for Strings, earning him a Pan American Union Publication Award. While at Minnesota, he also shared the Ford Foundation American Conductors Project Award with James Levine. Serebrier served as the composer-in-residence for the Cleveland Orchestra for two seasons, and his and Orpheus x Light was the result of a commission for the Joffrey Ballet.

Many prominent conductors have recorded his works. Serebrier himself has received multiple Grammy nominations as a composer and conductor. Leopold Stokowski conducted the first New York performance of Serebrier’s Elegy for Strings in 1962 and premiered the composer’s Poema Elegiaco. His violin concerto Winter was premiered at Lincoln Center in New York in 1995, and has since been performed by the London Philharmonia Orchestra.

From the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. comes the 2010 National Endowment for the Arts Opera Honors awards ceremony. The NEA Opera Honors pays tribute to those creators, performers, and other interpreters who have made a lasting contribution to our national cultural landscape.

Martina Arroyo

David DiChiera

Philip Glass

Now in its third year, the NEA Opera Honors is the highest award our nation bestows in opera. This year’s class is noteworthy for its members’ individual accomplishments at our country’s flagship opera companies, as well as for the delight they have brought us and what they have shared with us in the course of their careers. Their Eve Queler influences have been profound and their connections to American music have enriched the music world.

The NEA Opera Honors recipients are nominated by the public and chosen by an NEA-convened panel of opera experts.

In addition to an awards ceremony, the designation includes a one-time grant award of $25,000.

NEA Director of Music and Opera Wayne S. Brown said, “This class of NEA Opera Honorees is four outstanding individuals, who together represent the finest traditions of opera.

Without their artistic accomplishments, the world of American opera would be far less extraordinary.”

This year’s honors go to: Martina Arroyo, admired around the world for her operatic roles, oratorio and recital performances, recordings, and for her commitment to young artist development through the Martina Arroyo Foundation.

David DiChiera, whose varied career includes important posts in Ohio and California, as well as at the Michigan Opera Theatre, which has played an important role in the cultural and economic vitality of Detroit.

Philip Glass, who’s had a pervasive effect on the musical and intellectual life of our time, including especially his 20 operas, symphonies, compositions for his own ensemble, and his wideranging collaborations.

Eve Queler, who is being recognized for her focus on rarely performed operas and for her dedication to emerging singers, which she has brought to her work as music director of the Opera Orchestra of New York.

Radiolab is an experiential investigation that explores themes and ideas through a patchwork of people, sounds, and stories. Radiolab experiments with sound and style allowing science to fuse with culture and information to sound like music.

Each installment is centered around One Big Idea. On Radiolab, science bumps into culture, and information sounds like music. The show is for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder; who are curious about the world, but also want to be moved and surprised.

In this hour of Radiolab, we explore what science can say about what goes on in the minds of animals. When we gaze into the eyes of our beloved pets, can we ever really know what they’re thinking? Is it naïve to assume they might be experiencing something close to the emotions we feel? Or, on the contrary, is it ridiculous to assume that they aren’t feeling anything back?

Your hosts are Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich.

Broadcasts from the IU Jacobs School of Music Airs at 7 p.m. Mondays, 10 a.m. Tuesdays, and 3 p.m.

Can’t Get Indiana Off My Mind: The Al Cobine Story Sunday, November 21, 8 p.m.

Al Cobine, the bandleader, saxophonist, and composer who died in 2009 at the age of 82, didn’t set out to become an Indiana jazz legend.

A native of Richmond, Indiana, Cobine came to Al Cobine Bloomington in the mid-1950s to pursue a doctorate in political science but ended up becoming a nationally renowned big band leader instead, putting together orchestras and arrangements for Henry Mancini, Elvis Presley, and many other popular artists and directing a Bloomington-based ensemble for decades. Indiana University jazz studies chairman David Baker once called Cobine “the link between Hoagy Carmichael and the jazz program at the university today.”

This month WFIU premieres a onehour documentary devoted to Cobine’s life and legacy. Can’t Get Indiana Off My Mind: The Al Cobine Story is narrated by longtime WFIU Afterglow host Dick Bishop and includes interviews with Baker, Johnny Mathis, Dominic Spera, Marian Cobine, and other friends and associates of Al Cobine.

A wealth of Cobine music is featured as well, ranging from his first big band the Midlanders to his concert solos with Mancini and recordings of Cobine compositions such as “October in the Air.” Joe Bourne will preview the program on his Monday, November 1st Just You and Me show. WFIU will also preview the program on Friday, November 5th at 9 p.m. during the first night of our annual fund drive.

On Saturday, November 6th, the Al Cobine Big Band will perform a celebration of Cobine’s music at the Indiana Memorial Union Alumni Hall from 7-10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the Buskirk-Chumley Box Office at buskirkchumley.org or by calling 812323-3020.

Concerts from the Library of Congress Concerts from the Library of Congress continues a distinguished broadcast tradition of more than eight decades.

Launched in 1925, it’s the oldest classical music broadcast series in America.

This thirteen-week series showcases superb performances by stars of the classical music world recorded in the intimate, historic Coolidge Auditorium concert hall—admired worldwide for its acoustics. With Bill McGlaughlin as an expert guide, the broadcasts open the vaults of the Library’s unparalleled music collections.

The terrific lineup of artists includes legacy performances by Leonard Bernstein and the Beaux Arts Trio, and performances by Europa Galante, Jennifer Larmore, Ensemble Matheus, Lynn Harrell, the Borromeo Quartet, the Imani Winds, and many others.

Your host—conductor, composer, and radio personality Bill McGlaughlin—is known for creating Saint Paul Sunday (heard on WFIU Sundays at noon).

McGlaughlin has led orchestras throughout the United States, with a twelve-year tenure as music director of the Kansas City Symphony. Recent projects have included a commission for Continental Harmony, and a work written for Garrison Keillor, Surveying Lake Wobegon, that has been performed by orchestras nationwide.

You can enhance your enjoyment of the series by visiting the treasure vaults of the Library of Congress’ Music Division in a special online series of companion packages created for each program. The site contains original manuscripts and sketches by J. S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Bernstein, and Gershwin, and unique documents and artifacts such as Paganini’s private pocket diary and a handwritten 1765 account of an eyewitness interview with a 9-year-old Mozart.

With more than 22 million individual items, it is the world’s largest music archive. Audio and video excerpts of the concerts are included, as well as podcasts for selected programs. The Library’s site is loc.gov/radioconcerts.

Sea Change Radio: Green Icon Stewart Brand Sunday, November 28, 4:30 p.m.

Sea Change Radio covers the shift to social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

In this installment, host Alex Wise speaks with Stewart Alex Wise Brand, one of the founders of the modern environmental movement. Brand is best known as editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, and as the founder of a number of organizations including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation.

In the 1960s he was one of the Merry Pranksters.

Brand is the author of several books, most recently Stewart Brand Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto, in which he takes an optimistic view of the future of the planet and makes the case for nuclear energy expansion. Brand’s pronuclear energy stance is unusual in that it comes from a long-time environmentalist, but not surprising given this innovative thinker’s unorthodox approach to solving problems. His pro-nuclear opinion has ruffled feathers in the environmental movement, and since the book’s publication, he has been busy debating luminaries on the topic.

Featured Classical Recordings Selections from each week’s featured recording can be heard throughout WFIU’s local classical music programming.

A weekly podcast of our featured classical recordings is available through our Web site, wfiu.org, under the “podcasts” link.

Following years of preparation for this two-disc set, cellist Zuill Bailey said, “I was unaware of the depths of the [Bach cello suites] as a young person, but came to realize that there are so many ways of interpreting Bach that it channels where a cellist is at that precise moment.” Bailey performs on a 1693 Matteo Gofriller Cello, formerly owned by Mischa Schneider of the Budapest String Quartet.

Artist of the Month

Sundays at 7 p.m.

WFIU’s Artist of the Month for November is tenor Paul Elliott, who serves as the director of Indiana University’s Early Music Institute.

Born in Cheshire, England, Elliott made his solo debut in England in 1972 and debuted in the United States in a performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Hollywood Bowl in 1982 Paul Elliott with Christopher Hogwood and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.

He received his vocal training at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London (where he began his career as a choral singer) as well as at the King’s School Canterbury and Magdalen College at Oxford. His teachers were David Johnston and Peter Pears.

Elliott is most widely known for his performances of early music, having performed with European ensembles including The Academy of Ancient Music, The Early Music Consort of London, The London Early Music Group, Musica Antiqua Köln, The Deller Consort, Pro Cantione Antiqua, and The Hilliard Ensemble, of which he was a founding member.

Since 1985, he has been based in the United States. Performances have included Mozart’s Idomineo, staged in Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, appearances at the Kalamazoo Bach Festival, the San Antonio Festival, and concerts with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, The City Musick in Chicago, and the Canadian baroque orchestra Tafelmusik.

Elliott has performed works by twentieth-century composers such as Arvo Pärt, Steve Reich, and John Cage, and he makes frequent appearances with the San Francisco-based vocal and instrumental ensemble Magnificat Baroque which specializes in music of the 17th century.

WFIU will feature music performed

by Paul Elliott throughout the month of November.

Harmonia Turns 700

The Radio Reader with Dick Estell Out of the Canyon

by Art and Allison Daily Airs October 28, to November 18

Photo: Stacy Stuart

One winter day in Glenwood, Colorado, Art Daily suffered a terrible tragedy. While driving home with his family from a youth hockey game, a large boulder dislodged from the canyon wall and struck their car, killing his wife and two sons. But Art was inexplicably untouched. In one moment, Art’s life crumbled.

Art and Allison Daily

As family, friends, and the Aspen community rushed in to offer comfort and support, Art faced what he imagined to be a bleak and lonely future. But what he found surprised him—the healing power of a stranger’s grace. That stranger was Allison, a 28-year old Texan who had stopped in Aspen on her way to a new life.

Out of the Canyon is the inspiring story of how two people found the courage to move on after profound heartbreak. Art and Allison Daily teach us that it is not only possible to live through such turmoil, but to embrace life anew.

And, with humility and understanding, they offer insight and advice on what truly helped them deal with irreversible change and how we can do the same.

“This is the story of the worst thing that can possibly happen to you,” writes Augusten Burroughs, author of Runs With Scissors. “It would be too shattering to read were it not also the story of the best thing that could ever happen to anyone.

Out of the Canyon serves as evidence that life sometimes hides the most precious gift inside the very heart of darkness.”

The 700th episode of WFIU’s early music series Harmonia will be broadcast November 25th with a food-anddrink-themed episode, “Feasting and Gluttony.”

Harmonia began its life back Angela Mariani in the summer of 1991. Angela Mariani had finished a Masters’ Degree at IU’s Early Music Institute and started doctoral coursework.

“When [Station Manager] Christina Kuzmych asked me if I would be interested in developing a weekly early music program for WFIU,” Angie says, “I was very excited.” She talked to Tom Binkley, who was at that time director of the Early Music Institute and her primary advisor.

“He told me to go for it, saying prophetically, ‘You never know where it might lead.’”

WFIU cites a perfect storm of conditions for the launch of Harmonia at the time: the rising popularity of the “chant” phenomenon in CD sales, as well as proximity and ties to the Early Music Institute. With Mariani as the program’s writer, producer, and host, Harmonia debuted in October of 1991.

Harmonia is currently heard on nearly 190 public radio stations nationwide, not counting the occasional early music holiday specials frequently picked up by stations across the country. When Angela took a faculty position at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, other writers were brought on board, and WFIU teamed up with KOHM to help produce.

“Now here we are twenty years later,” Angela remarks. “The program is still airing with the help of my early music colleague and writer Bernard Gordillo, WFIU engineer Michael Paskash—who has just edited the five hundredth show— and the staff of WFIU and KOHM in Texas.

WFIU thanks all of our listeners and supporters of Harmonia, without whom it would have never come into being.

Saving Places: Preserving Indiana’s Architectural Heritage

PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING SUPPORT Indiana University

Monday, November 29 at 8pm There are dozens of important historic places in Indiana that are constantly threatened by sprawl, obsolescence, and lack of official protection. Others are disappearing before our eyes by abandonment, neglect, and deterioration.

But we can be encouraged, because there are many places in our state where people decided to work 1828 Daniel Stout House, together to preserve unique Maple Grove Road, Bloomington historic sites.

Produced by WTIU in cooperation with Indiana Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, Saving Places tells the stories of individuals who are engaged in revitalizing, protecting, and preserving our historic places in Indiana. This video documentary tells the stories of four sites from across Indiana: Wilson Bridge near Delphi; The John Jay Center for Learning in Portland; Lyles Station School near Princeton; and the Maple Grove Road Historic District near Bloomington.

Today, historic preservation is much more about the future than about the past. Saving our historic landmarks helps us build meaningful communities for the future. It also helps us provide a place for those who come after us in which they will understand and appreciate the special culture of Indiana.

Saving Places focuses on the positives of “community-building” and the economic growth that successful preservation can engender for the city or council involved in the preservation effort. Viewers will see the astounding transformations and find out what inspires people to get involved. What actions were taken? What obstacles were faced or are still being faced? All of the projects required organization, commitment, passion, and energy. While there are similarities—each story is different.

More information will be available after November 15th at indianapublicmedia.org/savingplaces
