MAKING A DIFFERENCE

in touch with the past PHOTOGRAPHER SHERMAN CAHAL EXPLORES KENTUCKY AND THE WORLD 2

April 2015

HE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE came early for Sherman Cahal. In fact, it started in the back seat of his parents’ van. “I grew up along the Ohio River, where there’s a lot of steel mills, a lot of coke plants, and just general factories that had been closed down over the years, mostly in the 1970s and ’80s,” said Cahal, 30, a native of Raceland who now calls Lexington home. “I traveled a lot with my parents and I begged them to stop because I just wanted to see what these places were like.” Cahal’s passion for the past found an outlet in photography and a healthy interest in exploration. For more than 15 years, he has displayed his work on Abandoned, a website where he documents the past, one old building at a time. (See it at abandonedonline.net.) The lure of such structures drew him, both for their visual impact and the thrill of exploration, he said. “They were just amazing places to see and it led to my obsession today of going out and just seeing what I can discover,” he said. And when that curious kid in the back seat turned on the television, he found a program that mirrored his interest in his surroundings: Kentucky Life, KET’s long-running program that has made it its mission to travel the byways of the state in order to share our rich heritage with all Kentuckians. “When I started watching a lot

of television I came across KET’s Kentucky Life and that really spurred my interest in knowing more about my state,” Cahal said from the interior of the abandoned Old Crow Distillery in Franklin County, the site of one of his recent explorations. “Kentucky Life and other KET programs, like Kentucky’s Last Great Places, really explore more of the natural world and more of these small towns and museums and amazing places to eat. Just these awesome attractions that I had no idea even existed!”

came upon the empty David Snowden Jr. house in Lee County in the former town of St. Helens near the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River. “As I rounded a corner and topped a small hill, past two closed schools, I spotted a looming and forlorn residence in the distance,” he wrote on Abandoned. “Set amongst the trees atop a dirt driveway, it didn’t resemble the newer houses near it. It had wooden siding, a tin roof, and a linear back porch. I could only imagine in my head what it must sound like inside on a rainy day, looking out onto the world with a peaceful demeanor, being put to sleep with the idling of the rain on the metal canopy.” Friendly owners are often happy to show him around, Cahal said. And when it comes to interiors of closed factories or distilleries, he’s always careful to obtain permission before entering, he emphasized. Much like the producers of Kentucky Life, Cahal enjoys the process of research and documentation that accompanies the storytelling involved in preserving these structures. He learned that the Lee County house, for example, dates back to 1825 and began as a one-room cabin that had been added to over the years. “Kentucky Life allowed me to gain a broader insight into more of the inner workings of all these locales,” he observed. “That really inspired me to get out and explore the state more and to learn more.”

“I CAME ACROSS KET’S KENTUCKY LIFE AND THAT REALLY SPURRED MY INTEREST IN KNOWING MORE ABOUT MY STATE.” Today, Cahal, who has a day job at Kentucky State University, where he puts his computer science degree to use, searches for his subjects from Kentucky to states within a day’s drive — from Virginia and Tennessee up into Ohio and Pennsylvania, predominantly. Of particular interest to him is Eastern Kentucky, an area he calls “untapped,” where tucked here and there are buildings no one has taken the time to explore. On a hunch that “there might be something down there,” Cahal recently

ANNIVERSARY OF

the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, Last Days in Vietnam: American Experience premieres Tuesday, April 28 at 9/8 pm on KET. The 1973 Paris Peace Accords had forged a tenuous ceasefire between North and South Vietnam, and mandated the removal of almost all U.S. forces. By early March 1975, huge swaths of territory were overrun daily, and, by the end of the month, the North Vietnamese Army had surrounded the capital, preparing to launch its final assault on Saigon. To the U.S. diplomats and military operatives still in Saigon, one thing was clear — a Communist victory was inevitable. The Americans grew increasingly concerned for the safety of their South Vietnamese allies, coworkers, and friends who faced imprisonment or possibly death in the event of a North Vietnamese victory. In the days leading up to the final attack, U.S. Army Captain Stuart Herrington was one of a number of American officers who bypassed the ambassador and organized a “black op” evacuation effort, transporting his South Vietnamese contacts to an airbase and sneaking them aboard outbound U.S. cargo flights to the Philippines. On April 29, the Saigon airport was attacked, forcing an immediate evacuation. Floating offshore in the South China Sea was the U.S.S. Kirk, part of the fleet sent to facilitate the evacuation of Americans. The crew and the ship — with its single, tiny helipad — was entirely unprepared for the role it was about to play in the scramble to evacuate the city. Soon, a seemingly unending stream of helicopters, piloted not by Americans, but by South Vietnamese airmen fleeing for their lives with their families and friends, descended upon the American destroyer. However, most of the action on that final, fateful day took place at the besieged U.S. Embassy in Saigon, where thousands of South Vietnamese hoping to secure a lastminute evacuation scaled the walls while a U.S. intelligence analyst ran his own underground railroad of evacuees to barges on the Saigon River. In the final hours of the evacuation, Ambassador Graham Martin used American resources meant for his own protection to extract thousands of South Vietnamese during an 18-hour airlift from the embassy compound.

WITNESS THE HARROWING EVACUATIONS IN OSCAR-NOMINATED ‘LAST DAYS IN VIETNAM’

April 1975. During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, as the North Vietnamese Army closed in on Saigon, South Vietnamese resistance crumbled. City after city and village after village fell to the North while the few U.S. diplomats and military operatives still in the country contemplated withdrawal. With the lives of thousands of South Vietnamese hanging in the balance, those in control faced an impossible choice — who would go and who would be left behind to face brutality, imprisonment, or even death. Directed by Rory Kennedy and airing in conjunction with 4

EXPLORE KENTUCKY NEW KET HEALTH SPECIAL EXAMINES WHAT TEENS NEED Although the generation gap is not new, every generation faces unique challenges born out of the cultural, economic, and political climate of the times — and this one is no different. How can we help this generation of youth navigate the journey from adolescence to adulthood so that they arrive healthy and prepared? This is the essential question of What Does Every Teen Need?, premiering Monday, April 20 at 9/8 pm on KET. In the program, you’ll meet doctors and public-health experts whose ideas focus on prevention. Dr. Hatim Omar, of the University of Kentucky Adolescent Medicine clinic and an international leader in the field of adolescent health, believes teens need comprehensive health care focused on prevention rather than responding to problems. The program examines two teens, one from a low-income area, who was given the skills and support necessary to pursue her goals and stay away from drugs; and another who faces such high pressure to achieve that she developed an eating disorder. The documentary also addresses the problems parents of today are dealing with that were unheard of in previous generations. Finally, the program looks at the role of schools, focusing on how two districts have taken bold steps to prevent youth suicide and other serious mental-health issues. What Does Every Teen Need? is produced in part through a grant by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. It also airs Wednesday, April 22 at 9/8 am and Thursday, April 23 at 4/3 pm on the Kentucky Channel.

Common Core standards discussed by ‘Education Matters’ KET takes a look at how the Common Core has been adapted and transformed into Kentucky Core Academic Standards and how the standards are being implemented statewide in Education Matters: Inside the Common Core, airing Monday, April 13 at 9/8 pm on KET. In 2010, Kentucky became the first state to adopt the national Common Core State Standards in mathematics and English/language arts. The program includes a panel discussion of these topics, led by Education Matters host Bill Goodman. It also includes video visits to two schools — Second Street Elementary in Frankfort and Lafayette High School in Lexington — to explore the successful integration of the Kentucky Core Academic Standards into Kentucky classrooms. At Second Street, see secondgraders participate in a language arts lesson that requires students to observe text features, participate in group activities, and read independently. The video from Lafayette High School showcases an Algebra II classroom where students regularly engage in mathematical discussions as part of instruction and assessment.

SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: Do you know an education champion? When you were a child, did you have someone who believed in you, who encouraged you, or who simply provided a helping hand when you needed it? Many of us can name at least one person – a parent, a coach, a teacher, a sibling, or a neighbor – who took an interest and offered support when we needed it most. But sadly, for the more than 1 million American students who drop out of high school each year, this kind of person may have been absent from their lives. That’s why, as a partner in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s American Graduate Initiative, we’re excited to announce that we are collecting and sharing the stories of caring individuals and/or organizations that have been instrumental in the academic success of a young person. If you know a special “American Graduate Champion,” we encourage you to make the nomination today. Simply go online at amgrad.ket.org/ champions. We’re looking forward to sharing many of these inspiring stories in the pages of Visions over the coming months and hopefully encouraging others to get involved. All of us, through acts large or small, can have a profound influence on our youngest citizens and be the spark they need to succeed. Sincerely, Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

KET introduces Kentucky educators to PBS LearningMedia More than 140 Kentucky educators were introduced to PBS LearningMedia at KET’s first annual Kentucky PBS LearningMedia Summit. The free online service offers thousands of engaging, high-quality digital resources, support materials, and special tools for classroom. The event was held at the annual Kentucky Society for Technology in Education conference at Louisville’s Galt House in March, where KET conducted four sessions on LearningMedia and the wide array of KET learning resources. The event featured John Sessler from PBS LearningMedia and 2014 PBS Digital Innovator LaTonya Rowe, a fourth-grade teacher from Highland Elementary in Johnson County. She is one of 100 educators nationwide selected for this honor. Parents and community members can use PBS LearningMedia, too. Check it out at KET.org/encyclomedia.
