WALLANDER
Kenneth Branagh plays the gritty cop losing his grip
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
One to grow on Garden designer digs KET’s
emphasis on history and heritage
Jon Carloftis 2
May 2016
A
s a boy in rural Eastern Kentucky, Jon Carloftis thrived on the natural wonders around him. Raised in a large family, his brothers’ interest lay in similar directions — raising birds, hunting, and fishing. And Jon, who frequently accompanied his father through the woods to the spring that provided the family’s water, absorbed the plant life around him as his father pointed out the plants’ names as they passed: sycamore, hemlock, the big-leaf magnolia. Carloftis took that early interest in the outdoors and has become a pioneer in rooftop and small space gardening. He has built gardens for Julianne Moore, Edward Norton, Mike Myers, Google and many wellknown art collectors. “My family has been in Eastern Kentucky 230 years,” said the Lexington resident who lives in an historic downtown home, Botherum. His family operated Fort Sequoyah Indian Village, a tourist attraction on their farm, and spent the off-season becoming tourists themselves. “I grew up on the Rockcastle River, surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest...in nature. That’s why I appreciate the beautiful things the world has to offer and Kentucky
especially.” A natural host and unofficial Kentucky ambassador, Carloftis enjoys inviting his clients to experience the Commonwealth’s bounty first-hand. And experiencing what’s unique about the state, he said, is always available through KET. “KET is created by Kentuckians, for Kentuckians — but also for the rest of the world,” he said. “It is so important to support it because it’s
make things beautiful,” he said. “In addition, I have an ability to design,” he continued. “So in 1988 when I moved to New York, I started a business designing and installing rooftop gardens all over Manhattan.” The outgoing Carloftis — who also has lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania — voraciously reads on any subject that interests him — and supplements that curiosity by turning to the programming offered by KET. “KET is so helpful for people who are interested in our culture, it focuses their programs on tradesmen and the history of Kentucky, and that’s what interests me,” he said. For Carloftis, who this year is serving as KET’s Summer Celebration honorary chair, KET mirrors the pride Kentuckians feel in their state and is itself a resource to be proud of. With Carloftis as host, KET has chosen the theme “Rhythm and Blooms” for this year’s fundraising event. It is scheduled for June 10 at Donamire Farm in Lexington. “KET reminds us that we have such a proud feeling here for Kentucky,” Carloftis said. “That’s what’s so important about KET. It shows our history, heritage and where we’re going. And that is so important. We can’t lose that.”
“KET is created by Kentuckians, for Kentuckians — but also for the rest of the world. It is so important to support KET because it’s showing what we are, our history, and who we are.” showing what we are, our history, and who we are. And we’ve got a lot to show! Kentucky is an easy sell.” As a student at the University of Kentucky, Carloftis majored in communications and joined an agricultural fraternity. He grew strong working summers in tobacco and knew he’d found his calling: farming. But he pursued it in his own way. “I always liked to grow things. I always liked to plant things and watch them bloom. I loved good food, so I loved vegetable gardening. I took my love of farming in a different way, to

The STRUGGLE
is REAL
Branagh delivers heartbreaking performance in ‘Wallander’ final season 4
May 2016
O
ne of the world’s most remarkable actors, Kenneth Branagh brings a stirring detective series to an end as he plays his last season as Inspector Kurt Wallander. Immerse yourself in the final exploits of the brooding Swede in three nail-biting episodes. From “Wallander’s” first season, the protagonist’s days have always seemed numbered. Dealing with northern Europe’s most violent and deranged criminals, Wallander also battles personal demons and appalling health habits, which led him to be diagnosed with diabetes. Now, as he starts to lose his memory as well, his greatest fear is
A SUMMER OF ‘MYSTERY!’ Spend the summer solving crimes and tiptoeing through the creepiest of situations as Masterpiece Mystery! presents these gripping dramas.
The Secret of Crickley Hall Begins in June
This three-part series follows a family’s attempt to escape the past to what seems like the perfect destination — until the cellar doors start to open, unseen children cry through the night, and water seeps through impervious rock. Time shifts between present day and 1943 as the they desperately try to find out who the crying children are and what connects their missing son to Crickley Hall.
Endeavour Season 3 Begins in June
Actor Shaun Evans reprises his role as the young Morse, facing his toughest case yet. It resumes the story following the shocking events which left Morse languishing in prison, framed for a crime he didn’t commit, while his partner, Thursday, was close to death after getting shot in the chest. that he is succumbing to Alzheimer’s, the same disease that felled his father. Branagh’s portrayal of this terrifying struggle is a heartbreaking performance. The Shakespearean actor has previously won BAFTA’s Best Actor award for “Wallander” plus Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, also for best actor. In this final season, Wallander keeps burning his candle at both ends, dodging knives, bullets, vicious dogs, homicidal motorcyclists, and a sense that he is losing his focus. Will mishap, medical leave, suspension, or a well-earned retirement be his final exit from this punishing profession?
The Tunnel
Begins in June Adapted from the Danish/Swedish crime series “The Bridge,” this series features British and French police detectives who work together to find the serial killer who left the upper body of a French politician and the lower half of a British prostitute in the Channel Tunnel, at the midpoint between France and the UK.
Inspector Lewis July-August
Encores of Season 8 begin in July; Season 9 begins in early August.

Movie Classics: The Shop Around the Corner KET Saturday, May 28 • 9/8 pm KET2 Friday, June 3 • 9/8 pm In this 1940 classic, James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan are two gift-shop employees that can barely stand one another — not realizing that they’re falling in love as one another’s anonymous pen pal. It was remade in 1998 as You’ve Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Director Ernst Lubitsch, known for other, more glamorous movies, called this film “the best picture I ever made in my life.”

KET launches new health initiative
On the offense against opioids KET’s coverage of the National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit launches a new KET initiative on the epidemic of prescription opioids and heroin abuse in Kentucky. The summit, organized by Operation UNITE, an Eastern Kentucky non-profit, provided KET the opportunity to present top experts in the field. These interviews, with drug control policy experts, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and more, will appear on One to One with Bill Goodman programs in May. (See schedule at right.) KET’s Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit featuring President Obama is available for viewing online at www.ket.org/video. The highly addictive and potentially deadly drugs known as opioids have ravaged communities and families throughout the state. In coming months, KET will explore aspects of this complex problem including the science of addiction, prevention strategies, treatment options, policy and justice issues, the impact of stigma, and the need for better education in the general public and the medical community. This initiative is funded, in part, by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky.

Kentucky is rich in history with untold stories of individual valor, selfless acts of heroism, and true patriotism. The men and women of Kentucky’s military faced grave dangers and overcame them, time and time again. Discover how the story of the Kentucky Vietnam Memorial unfolded in Victory for Veterans, airing Monday, May 30 at 10/9 pm on the Kentucky Channel. In 1984, the Kentucky General Assembly crafted legislation creating a memorial foundation. Its purpose was to raise money for one of the most visually stunning and moving memorials in the country. Kentucky’s elected officials didn’t stop with the success of the monument — they forged ahead, securing funding to build new nursing homes, cemeteries, memorials, and monuments. In addition, Victory for Veterans touches on other legislative accomplishments benefiting veterans over the last quarter century. The program also airs Tuesday, May 31 at 10:30/9:30 pm on KET2.

Performers include Queen Latifah, Alabama Shakes, William Bell and more.
The Highwaymen: American Masters KET Friday, May 27 • 10/9 pm Frequently referred to as “the Mount Rushmore of country music,” The Highwaymen — Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson — were American country music’s first bona fide supergroup, an epic quartet comprised of the outlaw country genre’s pioneering stars. The Grammy-winning group was active from 1985–1995, recording three albums, touring the world, and acting in the movie Stagecoach (1986). Explore how these men came together and the fruits of their historic collaboration, accompanied by performances from a previously unreleased concert film recorded live at Nassau Coliseum in 1990.

SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: Celebrating the Commonwealth While any time of the year is a great time to enjoy this place we call home, no one can deny that May is particularly special for the Commonwealth. With spring in full bloom from Paducah to Pikeville, and the eyes of the world turning to us for one of the most storied events in all of sports, this is the month the sun always shines a little brighter on our Kentucky home. KET’s commitment to turning a spotlight on Kentucky runs deep. Sharing the countless stories of our history and heritage in programs like Kentucky Life and Kentucky Collectibles, as well as in numerous specials and documentaries, is a privilege. In fact, excluding sports and news, no one produces more programming about Kentucky than KET. As acclaimed garden designer Jon Carloftis says in this month’s Making a Difference interview, knowing where we’ve come from is important. That is a philosophy we take to heart, and, based on the tremendous response we always receive to our Kentucky-focused programs, it’s one that many, if not all, of our viewers share as well. Telling Kentucky’s stories of both our past and present – documenting our shared history for future generations while also celebrating all that is special about today – remains a core part of KET’s mission. Thankfully, our Commonwealth provides a never-ending supply of unique, inspiring, and important stories to document and share.
KET provides valuable teacher training In early March, KET education staff provided consultation and information at the annual Kentucky Society for Technology in Education (KySTE) conference in Louisville. KET kicked off the event with the Kentucky PBS LearningMedia Summit which featured Madison Central High School teacher Susan Cintra, recently honored as a 2015 Lead PBS Digital Innovator. Also in March, at the Network Center in Lexington, KET hosted Echoes and Reflections, a workshop for teachers offered by the Anti-Defamation League and presented by Alexis Morrisroe from the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education in Cincinnati. Survivor Fred Gross of Louisville, author of One Step Ahead of Hitler: A Child’s Journey Through France, also spoke to the group.
