Visions October 2023

In the early years of Hilma Prather’s career, when she worked as a teacher and later a principal with Somerset Independent Schools, she’d always held a “teacher’s appreciation” for KET and the educational resources the network created for educators across the Commonwealth.

It wasn’t until after she retired and embarked upon a second career in public education advocacy – including positions with the Kentucky Department of Education and the Pritchard Committee for Academic Excellence – that Prather says she got a better view of KET and took in the full breadth of the network’s efforts to support education in Kentucky.

“That’s when I really began to understand the multi-faceted approach to services that KET offers learners of all ages,” Prather said. “I saw that KET was so much more than just its television programming. It’s an educational hub that strives to meet the needs of Kentuckians throughout the different chapters of their lives.”

Prather, who served on KET’s governing board from 1994-2018 and as the board’s chair from 20072010, said the front row seat she was afforded to KET’s operations only deepened her appreciation for the network.

“One of the things I love about KET is that it’s always made educa-

- Hilma Prather

tion its main thing,” said Prather, who these days continues to volunteer on the Commonwealth Fund for KET. “That was the vision of KET’s founder Len Press: to provide equitable educational services to children across Kentucky, regardless of where they lived. And KET has never veered from that course. Rather, it’s expanded it immensely and done an extraordinary job of using technology to stay abreast of the next way to provide services to Kentuckians.”

As an example, she points to KET’s efforts to create a variety of online resources that support people of all ages and walks of life. For those interested in early childhood education, for instance, there’s the online resource Let’s Learn Kentucky, which offers new parents helpful tips on preparing their child

for preschool. For those eying a career change, there’s KET’s workforce development resources, such as FastForward, which helps people study for the GED® equivalency exam, and Workplace Essential Skills, which helps them brush up on key business and math concepts. And for those interested in public affairs, KET’s legislative coverage and programs such as Kentucky Edition, Kentucky Tonight and KET Forums help people stay informed about the issues facing the Commonwealth.

“In a place like Kentucky, where so many of our population centers sit along bordering states, there’s a lot of forces pulling Kentuckians’ interests outward to other regions,” Prather said. “But KET does a great job of bringing our attention back to Kentucky and creating conversations that help unify our state.”

And when it comes to teaching children about Kentucky and its history, KET’s classroom resources are still “second to none,” thanks to engaging online series such as News Quiz, Social Studies Shorts and KET’s virtual tours that explore significant landmarks and historical sites around the Commonwealth.

“Even as peoples’ lives change, KET does so much to meet their needs,” she said. “I think that’s why KET has as much value today as it did when it was founded in 1968. It really is a huge treasure for Kentuckians.”

TODAY’S KET

The fall season is always a beautiful and busy time in Kentucky.

With statewide elections in a few weeks, our award-winning public affairs team is providing candidate forums every Monday evening this month on Kentucky Tonight .

From Ken Burns comes The American Buffalo , a two-part series told in the filmmaker’s signature style that chronicles the story of an animal that found itself at the center of many of our nation’s most mythic and sometimes heartbreaking tales.

KET is presenting a new production Jim Host: Game Changer , which shares Host’s impact on sports marketing and his work as an entrepreneur, public servant and civic volunteer.

And Kentucky Life , hosted by Chip Polston, kicks off its 29th season, featuring new stories with some of Kentucky’s most compelling personalities, places and natural wonders.

This year marks KET’s 55th anniversary on the air, providing educational programs and services for Kentuckians of all ages. We’re grateful for the vision of KET’s founder, Len Press, and for the support and advocacy through the years of many volunteers like Hilma Prather, and everyone who has helped KET grow into one of the largest and most respected public media services in the country.

On behalf of the more than two million people that use KET each week, we thank you for your support that’s helping KET continue to fulfill its mission and make our programs and services possible!

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

KET HAS DONE AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB OF USING TECHNOLOGY TO STAY ABREAST OF THE NEXT WAY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO KENTUCKIANS.

Ken Burns’ new film chronicles the American buffalo

The American Buffalo, a new two-part film by Ken Burns, is the story of an improbable, shaggy beast that found itself at the center of many of the country’s most mythic and heartbreaking tales. The series, which has been in production for four years, takes viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of history and across some of North America’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the mammal’s evolution, its significance to the Great Plains and its relationship to the Indigenous People of North America.

“It is a quintessentially American story,” Ken Burns said, “But it is also a morality tale encompassing two historically significant lessons that resonate today: how humans can damage the natural world and also how we can work together to make choices to preserve the environment around us.”

The four-hour documentary chronicles the startling swiftness of the species’ near extinction. Numbering an estimated 30 million in the early 1800s, the herds declined for a variety of reasons: the lucrative buffalo robe trade, the steady westward settlement of an expanding United States, diseases introduced by domestic cattle and drought. But the arrival of the railroads in the early 1870s and a new demand for buffalo hides to be used in the belts driving industrial machines back East brought thousands of hide hunters to the Great Plains.

In just over a decade the number of bison collapsed from 15 million to fewer than a thousand. By 1900, the American buffalo teetered on the brink of disappearing forever, and the Native people of the Plains entered one of the most traumatic moments of their existence.

But the other, lesser-known part of this story, told in the film’s second episode, is about the people who set out to save the species from extermination and how they did it. Their actions provide compelling proof that, if we set our minds to it, we are equally capable of pulling back from the brink of environmental catastrophe.
