MAKING A DIFFERENCE

BRINGING

s seventh generation Kentuckians, with family roots dating back to the time of the Revolutionary War, Ernie and Georgia Green Stamper say it’s no surprise they share a love of history. This love also serves as a touchstone for their chief interests these days: Georgia as a magazine columnist and writer, with several books of essays about Kentucky’s past and present to her credit, and Ernie as a hobbyist photographer. So when the retired Lexington

couple unwinds with some television together, they turn to KET, which they say does more to inform their love of the Commonwealth’s history than any other network. “We just can’t say enough about the educational value that KET provides,” said Georgia, a former schoolteacher who turned to writing after her children had grown. “KET is one of the few places on television where we can still find great stories about Kentucky, stories

about the people and places that bring our state’s history to life.” The Stampers say KET has been a part of their lives since as long as they can remember. Raising their three young daughters in Ashland in the 1970s, when Ernie worked for Ashland Oil, they recalled how novel at the time KET’s children’s programming was — programs like Sesame Street and The Electric Company — that helped toddlers learn their first letters and numbers. “Our oldest daughter spontane-

ously began reading everything in sight,” Georgia added. They likewise discovered Masterpiece, in particular the Upstairs Downstairs series, which chronicled the turn-of-the-century decline of the British aristocracy and single-handedly solidified the Stampers’ devotion to historical costume dramas.

staples: the award-winning documentaries from Ken Burns. They say they’re riveted by Burns’ painstakingly-researched and beautifullyshot films, beginning with The Civil War and more recently, Benjamin Franklin. “We thought we knew a lot about Ben Franklin, but we learned so

KET IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES ON TELEVISION WHERE WE CAN STILL FIND GREAT STORIES ABOUT KENTUCKY, STORIES ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND PLACES THAT BRING OUR STATE’S HISTORY TO LIFE. That commitment continues today, with them regularly tuning in to Masterpiece’s more recent series, such as Downton Abbey, Poldark and All Creatures Great and Small. “We look forward every week to Sunday night on KET,” Georgia said. “That’s our night. We just love the costumes, the character development and the great acting.” During the pandemic, the KET members said they turned to KET Passport to re-watch some of their favorite dramas and, likewise, to discover new ones. “We uncovered a series, Grantchester, that we had previously missed,” Georgia said. “And that was really helpful to us, keeping us sane between the occasional meetups with family and friends out on the driveway.” They also use KET Passport to revisit one of their favorite KET

many new things about him watching the documentary,” Ernie said. “That’s the great thing about Burns’ films — they’re fascinating and they send both of us off scrambling to do more research about the things that catch our interest.” Georgia said Burns’ documentaries have been instrumental in her development as a writer, particularly the way he uses historical documents and old photographs to bring an era to life. “I don’t think there’s a Ken Burns film that we haven’t watched, so we really credit KET for expanding the breadth and quality of our viewing material,” Georgia said. “In fact, whenever we find ourselves talking to friends about interesting programs we’ve watched, we notice it’s almost always something from KET.”

TODAY’S KET The impact of educators is something that cannot be easily measured. Yet we can all name at least one former teacher, librarian, counselor or other guiding light whose influence resonates with us to this day. For me, I not only fondly remember many of my teachers, but I saw in my mother, also a teacher, a behind-the-scenes look at the dedication and love of learning that she sought to pass on to her students. And we can all be touched by heartwarming stories like the one we’re sharing this month in The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia. At a time when the Great Depression was paralyzing the national economy – and areas like Eastern Kentucky were among the hardest hit – dedicated individuals realized the importance of education and helped ensure books and magazines made it to families in some of the most remote regions of our state. As we near the end of another school year, we’re thinking about and appreciating the vital role that educators play and the programs and services that KET provides to support their work. Whether it’s providing convenient and easily accessible teacher professional development, delivering dynamic and engaging resources through PBS LearningMedia, or working directly with educators through our statewide network of consultants, KET’s commitment to student achievement goes far beyond the classroom. Thank you, teachers, media specialists, administrators, and more for all you do. Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

COVER STORY

BROADWAY’ Great Performances, the nation’s premier television series for the performing arts, returns with a slate of new episodes this month showcasing some of the best theater offerings on Broadway and beyond.

Great Performances: Anything Goes

Great Performances: Merry Wives

KET Friday, May 13 • 9/8 pm

KET Friday, May 20 • 9/8 pm

This 2021 London production of Cole Porter’s classic musical is led by Tony Award winner Sutton Foster and is directed by Tony-winning choreographer Kathleen Marshall. With its timeless score including favorites such as “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top” and “Anything Goes,” the musical tells the story of two unlikely couples who veer off course aboard the S.S. American to find true love.

VISIONS

MAY 2022

This Shakespearean comedy from the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park is set in South Harlem, where West African immigrants live side by side with their African American neighbors. A New York story about tricks of the heart, this farce tells the story of the charlatan Falstaff and the wily wives who outwit him in a celebration of Black joy, laughter and vitality.

CONCERT HONORS OUR MILITARY FAMILIES This musical tradition honoring the service and sacrifice of those in the armed forces pays special tribute this year to a Kentucky family: that of retired Maj. General Mark Graham and his wife, Carol, of Frankfort. In just eight months, the family suffered the loss of their two sons: Jeff Graham, who was killed in Iraq by an IED blast, and Kevin Graham, an ROTC recruiter who lost his personal battle with depression. Both sons attended the University of Kentucky, and Jeff had been stationed at Ft. Knox in Kentucky.

’S BEST Great Performances: Keeping Company with Sondheim

This behind-the-scenes documentary explores the legacy of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s musical Company. Filmed over two years, the program takes an inside look at Tony-winning director Marianne Elliott’s creative process in bringing the reimagined genderswapped production to Broadway during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a cast including Tony and Grammy winner Katrina Lenk and two-time Tony and two-time Grammy winner Patti LuPone.

Serving as America’s national night of remembrance, this year’s concert also honors the memory of General Colin L. Powell, who was a keynote speaker at the concert for more than 20 years, calling on the nation to help and support those who served and their families. The concert is hosted by Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna and Mary McCormack and features famed pops conductor Jack Everly directing the National Symphony Orchestra.

Colombia: Wild and Free

American Experience: Plague at the Golden Gate

KET Wednesday, May 18 • 10/9 pm

KET Tuesday, May 24 • 9/8 pm

For decades, rebel groups held out in Colombia’s national parks, spreading terror but paradoxically also protecting the country’s pristine forests. Now that peace has been declared, the country’s magnificent natural glories and dazzling wildlife can once again be revealed: from the wild, largely deserted Pacific coast to the snow-covered volcanoes of the Andes, from the plains of the Orinoco region to the rainforests of the Amazon.

This film takes us back to turn-of-the 20th-century San Francisco, when a deadly outbreak of bubonic plague in the city’s Chinatown district and the hunt to identify its source led to an all-too-familiar spate of violent anti-Asian sentiment. Fearing the city could become the new epicenter of a disease that had claimed 10 million lives worldwide, health officials race against the clock to quarantine the threat.

Preview screening in Morehead of KET film on Pack Horse Library Project Join KET at the Rowan County Arts Center in Morehead on Sunday, May 1, at 2 pm for a free preview screening of KET’s new film The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia. The half-hour documentary tells the story of the women hired by the Franklin Roosevelt’s Work Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression who traveled on horseback to deliver library books and magazines to people in Eastern Kentucky, braving creeks, mountains and inclement weather along the way. To RSVP in advance, and learn about other KET events slated for Kentucky libraries later this year, please visit KET.org/events. The program is funded in part by a grant from the Carolyn Tassie Memorial Fund.

Fifth-grade students from the Student Technology Leadership Program club at Greenville Elementary School in Muhlenberg County recently visited KET’s Network Center in Lexington for a tour of the production studios and to take part in a pair of Media Lab Workshops. The students explored using GarageBand to produce their own digital music and TinkerCAD to create a series of 3D designs.

Activity lessons celebrate the science of the changing seasons KET is one of five public television stations chosen to work with PBS KIDS and the PNC Foundation to create virtual resources for children that explore the seasons of the year. The lessons, housed on PBS LearningMedia, a free online repository of thousands of educational resources and activities, use games, activities and popular PBS KIDS characters to teach children about the natural world. Children explore topics such as how animals prepare for winter or how autumn leaves furnish food and shelter for many creatures. The collection may be found at KET.org/changing-seasons.

In April, KET and its partners PNC Grow Up Great and Fred Rogers Productions hosted Be My Neighbor Day at the Family Care Center in Lexington. The family event fosters conversation about what it means to be a caring neighbor and offers families an opportunity to give back to their community. Participants met community helpers, painted sun catchers and assembled snack bags and personal care kits, which were donated to help support the work of local community partners.

Last month, KET and its partners PNC Grow Up Great and Fred Rogers Productions welcomed hundreds of participants to its Be My Neighbor Day event in Louisville, which featured a variety of activities showing children what it means to be a caring neighbor and teaching them the importance of giving back to the community. The annual event at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park also gave children a chance to meet their local community helpers, such as first responders, farmers, firefighters, librarians and more.

Explore the Kentucky Derby with new video in civics education series Social Studies Shorts, an online video series that helps students brush up on their civics education, recently added a new episode that explores the history and festivities surrounding the Kentucky Derby. The new video, like the others in this fun, interactive series, is narrated by News Quiz host Kelsey Starks and tailored to Kentucky academic standards, aimed at grades 4-8.
