INE MOUNTAIN SETTLEMENT SCHOOL sits tucked on the north side of Harlan County. It’s a postcard of a place: running streams; tall, shady trees; wildflowers in abundance. Since the early 1900s, it has served the people of the Appalachian Mountains in one of the most isolated places in the entire eastern United States. And with isolation comes limited opportunity, poverty, and a dearth of the advantages children in more populated areas take for granted. But thanks to KET and a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Ready to Learn grant, children here are learning during the summer months, when educational opportunities are lean. “The lack of opportunity here is just tremendous,” said executive director Geoff Marietta, who has been at the settlement school since 2015. “As a non-profit that has been operating in this area for over 100 years, we’re deeply embedded in the community and really get a firsthand experience of what the community needs and wants.” “When you talk about populations that don’t get reached, the north side of Pine Mountain in Harlan County is probably one of the best examples,” added director of community development Sky Marietta, who along with Geoff, her husband, lives on the Pine Mountain property with their two young sons. “The digital divide is real. A lot of our families live 45 minutes from a library. There’s very little preschool programming, a Head Start program that’s 11 miles from us, and even farther for some of our families. That’s just the reality.” This year, KET offered two opportunities for Pine Mountain children and families. The first, the PBS Kids Family Creative Learning workshop, teaches whole families how to together create video stories on

tablets — and learn computer coding principles. It utilizes the Scratch Jr. app, based on popular PBS Kids programs. “This is exactly the kind of service we love to provide to our community here,” said Sky. “It is enrichment in the truest sense, because it’s bringing in an experienced educator — and even the software and hardware the children are able to use is not the sort of thing that they would have access to otherwise. “It’s exceptional to have something of that high quality offered here at the settlement school,” she said. The second opportunity was the Odd Squad Camp designed to boost at risk-kids’ STEM skills — science, technology, engineering, and math — in both rural and urban areas. It was integrated with Pine Mountain’s summer day camp for school-age kids. KET educators led the fun, hands-on Odd Squad math curriculum each morning, and for the afternoon, the settlement school crafted their summer program to complement each day’s earlier instruction. “So, if we were talking about patterns, our staff developed a program where they taught about patterns in traditional music. And then heard a concert by practitioners
of traditional music,” noted Sky. Also offered was a parallel early-childhood program for young children for its Little School preschool center. “We were able to work together to put together a program that was really unique to this location,” she said. “We had 55 children come, and the students persisted. Very few dropped out.” And it was a very diverse camp, Geoff noted, including young people who were visiting relatives in the mountains for the summer. In addition to the hands-on education programs the camp provided, the Mariettas emphasize that its benefits may take years to fully flower. “What we see in research is that it’s often these informal, out of school-time experiences that allow children to try on various identities of being a coder, being a scientist, or a mathematician,” said Sky. “When you have a very narrow range of models in your local community for your future employment, the research says that this is the time where children start to consider new career opportunities. So it’s just a fantastic fit — you don’t know what the rippling effect will be for the children in our community but this is the right age. This is getting them at the right time.”
he research on early childhood development is clear. Preparing our youngest citizens for success in kindergarten is essential to helping ensure they succeed in their later school years and in their careers. Today, KET provides more early childhood resources than ever before. Parents and grandparents can rely on the proven, research-based children’s programming provided by the 24/7 KET PBS KIDS channel now available across the Commonwealth. As a Ready to Learn partner, we’ve hosted hundreds of community events and workshops. We’ve also developed hundreds of Everyday Learning resources that make it easy for parents and caregivers to teach fundamental concepts through fun activities using common, affordable items. And to ensure daycare workers and preschool teachers have access to needed training, KET provides a comprehensive catalog of courses, many of which can be taken online. KET’s Child Care Training website makes it easy and convenient for child-care workers to complete training courses, enhance their learning, and earn necessary credits. All told, KET develops and delivers thousands of resources with one goal -- helping today’s children prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities and challenges. Sincerely,

n an immersive narrative, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick tell the epic story of the Vietnam War as it has never before been told on film. Nearly 80 witnesses — including many Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it — as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians are included in the 10-part, 18-hour documentary. “The Vietnam War was a decade of agony that took the lives of more than 58,000 Americans. Not since the Civil War have we as a country been so torn apart,” said Burns, whose documentary films include The Civil War, The Dust Bowl, Baseball, and many others. “There wasn’t an American alive then who wasn’t affected in some way — from those who fought and

sacrificed in the war, to families of service members and POWs, to those who protested the war in open conflict with their government and fellow citizens,” Burns continued. “More than 40 years after it ended, we can’t forget Vietnam, and we are still arguing about why it went wrong, who was to blame, and whether it was all worth it.” Ten years in the making, the series brings the war and the chaotic epoch it encompassed viscerally to life. It includes rarely seen, digitally re-mastered archival footage from sources around the globe, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th century, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and revelatory
audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations. “We are all searching for some meaning in this terrible tragedy. Ken and I have tried to shed new light on the war by looking at it from the bottom up, the top down and from all sides,” Novick said. “In addition to dozens of Americans who shared their stories, we interviewed many Vietnamese, and were surprised to learn that the war remains as painful and unresolved for them as it is for us. Within this almost incomprehensibly destructive event, we discovered profound, universal human truths, as well as uncanny resonances with recent events,” she said.
KET shines a light on the experiences of veterans of the conflict in Kentucky Veterans of the Vietnam War: In Their Own Words. More than 65 veterans were interviewed for the program, which debuted last year. Rich in archival photographs and home movies and narrated by Kentuckian Nick Clooney, the documentary was honored with a Regional Emmy Award in the Military Program category. Recounting their time at war was difficult for many of the veterans, yet each vividly illustrates the horrors of war through their own experiences. In addition to their tour “in country,” the vets discussed the anti-war sentiment at home, and how they felt their efforts at winning were hampered by authorities above them, and more.

KET Friday, Sept. 1 • 9:30/8:30 pm
People worldwide have seen the Disney animated classic Bambi and been deeply moved by it, but few can tell you the name of the artist behind the film. Even fewer are aware of this pioneering artist’s impact on American art and popular culture. Until his death at the age of 106, Tyrus Wong (1910-2016) was America’s oldest living Chinese American artist and one of the last remaining artists from the golden age of Disney animation. Learn how he overcame a life of poverty and racism to become a celebrated painter (who once exhibited with Picasso and Matisse), a Hollywood sketch artist, and a Disney legend.
Slacker. Indie filmmaker. Oscar nominee. Writer, director, producer, actor Richard Linklater (b. July 30, 1960) is all these things and more. Boasting a trove of never-before-seen archival footage, this program provides an unconventional look at the fiercely independent style of filmmaking that emerged out of Austin, Texas, in the late 1980s and 1990s with Linklater as its poster boy. Included are clips from his most beloved films — including Slacker, Dazed and Confused, the Before trilogy, and Boyhood — and new interviews with actors and collaborators.

11 POV: My Love, Don’t Cross that River KET Monday, Sept. 11 • 10/9 pm Spouses 89-year-old Kang Gye-yeol and 98-year-old Jo Byeong-man have shared a home for 76 years. While they spend every day together like a newlywed couple, they now must face the reality of their aging romance. Hailed by The New York Times as “visual poetry,” the film captures 15 months in the couple’s life. Given to dressing alike and playing like kids in the leaves and snow, the two share an extraordinary life that included 12 children, six of which died of measles. Now, as they decline, we witness foreshadowing of Jo’s death, as his wife burns his clothes so they will be ready for him in the afterlife.

Held at Transylvania University in Lexington, the congress is an annual undergraduate short course for students from around the country in diplomacy, dialogue, listening skills, negotiation, and mediation. It is sponsored by the Henry Clay Center for Statesmanship, whose advisory committee is chaired by Sandra Day O’Connor and Nancy Kassebaum Baker.

Launched in 1997, the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004, and during that time, sent home miraculous images and scientific data, revealing countless wonders about Saturn, its rings, and dozens of moons — including some that could harbor life. In this new program, take a suspenseful ride inside the mission’s last days, as Cassini attempts one last set of daring maneuvers: a series of dives between Saturn and its innermost ring, before making its final, fateful plunge into the planet’s atmosphere.

The Northern Kentucky Regional Board of the Commonwealth Fund for KET has appointed a new chairman, Jack Moreland, president of Southbank Partners.
Students learn media skills at KET Thousands of Kentucky students will be able to attend media arts workshops at KET in the 2017-18 school year, thanks to a grant from the Kentucky Department of Education, which provides travel reimbursement to schools. Begun in 2016, the workshops and tours of KET’s production and broadcast facility in Lexington help schools implement the Kentucky Arts Standards in Media Arts. Last year 3,000 students from over 50 Kentucky schools received training at KET. The success prompted KDE to renew its grant. At these free workshops, teachers and students build skills in video production and editing; explore the use of apps to create multimedia projects; learn about Minecraft educational gaming; and find out about KET’s online resources for teaching media arts.
Go TEAM, GO! PREMIERE PARKING WITH A STADIUM VIEW
Fund for Excellence members who make a gift to KET of $1,200 or more receive the benefit of season parking at KET’s network center for all home U.K. football games. For more information, contact Katelyn Lincoln at (859) 258-7206 or klincoln@ket.org.

Forgotten Fame: The Marion Miley Story was honored in the Documentary-Historical category. Produced by Beth Kirchner, Craig Cornwell, and Shae Hopkins, it reveals the nearly forgotten story of the Lexington golfer who was tragically murdered while at the height of her career in the 1930s. “Haunted Louisville,” a program in the Kentucky Life series, received an Emmy Award in the Magazine Program category.

Here, viewers learn about the county’s role in efforts to help escaped slaves cross the nearby Ohio River toward freedom in the North. The Hilltoppers, produced by Tom Thurman, Teresa Day, and Shae Hopkins, was recognized in the Nostalgia Program category.

The awards are bestowed by the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). Recognizing excellence in local news, programming and individual achievement, they are one of the industry’s highest honors.
