wsiu to present debates

with Greg Petrowich

Let’s Get Started

ith the holidays now behind us, and a busy year ahead, it’s time to get started on a new decade here at WSIU Public Broadcasting. 2010 brings a general election in November that features several important and highly contested races. WSIU will be there to bring you complete coverage of the candidates, the issues, and the outcomes. Beginning this month, we’ll broadcast two contested gubernatorial primary debates produced in partnership with The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute here at SIUC and our colleagues at WILL-TV and the University of Illinois. Look for the Republican candidate debate on January 14 at 8pm and the Democratic candidate debate on January 21, also at 8pm. We’ll also be producing special editions of WSIU InFocus to explore campaign issues both statewide and closer to home. For those who may have missed it, and even for those who didn’t, Ken Burns’ The National Parks: America’s Best Idea will be featured in a rebroadcast on six consecutive Wednesdays beginning January 27, and Soundstage returns with The Fray, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Willie Nelson to name only a few. At the same time we’re bringing you all of your favorite PBS programs along with coverage of local issues, we’ll also be moving into our new 100% digital TV master control facility. The new equipment will enhance our capacity to better serve you with more high-definition programs, greater variety, and increased efficiency. You may not even notice any difference when it happens, but believe me, here at WSIU we’ll be celebrating as we say our final goodbyes to some “classic” equipment. At WSIU Radio, we’ll be covering the primary elections this February, as well – plus continuing our award-winning news and sports coverage along with all your favorites like A Prairie Home Companion, Car Talk, and American Routes. As WSIU prepares to enter a new decade of service to the region, we’re reminded that we couldn’t meet any community needs or provide programming that changes lives without the generosity of viewers and listeners like you. I hope you’ll continue to find value in what we do, continue to support us with your loyalty and generosity, and as always, please share your thoughts at any time.

SIU TV and the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at SIU Carbondale, in partnership with WILL TV / Illinois Public Media and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs (IGPA) at the University of Illinois, will host two live, one-hour broadcast debates in January between candidates for Governor of Illinois in the February 2 primary election. Both debates will be offered to Illinois Public Television and Radio stations statewide. WSIU also plans live coverage in January of U. S. Senate candidate primary forums organized by the League of Women Voters of Illinois and the Better Government Association in cooperation with ABC7 Chicago and the Illinois Broadcasters Association. “No leader in state history will be tested like the next Governor of Illinois in the next four years,” said WSIU TV Producer Jak Tichenor, who will moderate the Carbondale event. “These debates are critically important for Illinois voters to make an informed decision when they go to the polls.” Illinois Public Media Producer John Paul, moderator of the Urbana event, believes the overriding issue for the debate is likely to be the state’s budget situation. “I’m sure many of the questions will deal with the state’s fiscal crisis, how it can be resolved, and whether tax increases are necessary,” he said. Simon Institute Executive Director David Yepsen will join in the questioning at the Carbondale debate while a representative of the IGPA will take part in the GOP debate at Urbana. Stay tuned to WSIU TV on the air and online for schedule updates.

Meet the Host

ince her teenage years, Lauren Roberts has always been intrigued by the world of media. With field experience from several industry jobs, Roberts was thrilled to accept a new venture as game show host of Scholastic Hi-Q.

Hosting the quiz game show has been fulfilling for Roberts in a number of ways. “I find it a joy to interact with a new set of high school students and coaches each game,” says Roberts. “In addition to meeting fantastic people, the show has taught me how to stay composed and remain focused even as things go awry.” Roberts is in her final year in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts at SIUC. She is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts, with an emphasis in Social Documentary.

Taylor, who has served as the Coordinating Producer of Scholastic Hi-Q for three seasons, says that working on the show presented her with an ideal opportunity to expand her knowledge of the broadcast industry while honing her television production skills.

ven top high school scholars accustomed to the challenges of competition can find appearing on WSIU TV’s game show Scholastic Hi-Q to be a little unnerving. “I’ve never really been on camera before,” says Derek Butler, a sophomore at Benton High School in Benton, Illinois. “I feel both excited and nervous about it.” Despite the anxiety live television can produce in students unfamiliar with the on-air experience, Scholastic Hi-Q offers its teenage competitors a fun and exciting way to enhance their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, while enhancing their poise and self-confidence. Produced by SIUC students for WSIU since 1985, the single-elimination quiz show features 32 area high school scholar bowl teams who must answer a variety questions from all academic disciplines. Students prepare for Scholastic Hi-Q in much the same way they do for regular scholar bowl matches, with the additional task of reviewing past episodes to gain insight into what to expect in the studio. Although the lights, cameras, and on-air action add a unique dimension to the competition, some of the high school scholars who participate find appearing on the show to be relaxing. Massac County High School senior Aly Hamby said that appearing on Scholastic Hi-Q was easier to manage than expected.

“The questions are different from the normal scholar bowl matches,” she says. “Instead of having a lot of computational math, we have more questions about pop culture, which makes it fun.” Dan Frederking, coach of the Massac County High School scholar bowl team, feels his students’ appearance on the show enhances their educational experience and teaches them how to maintain their composure when in the spotlight. “Students who participate in scholar bowl teams are already motivated to succeed,” he says. “Being on Scholastic Hi-Q allows them to become more well-rounded students.” Scholastic Hi-Q also provides professional development opportunities for SIUC students who work on the production. From serving as program host to floor director to lighting coordinator, over 20 SIUC students gain valuable hands-on training on the Hi-Q set each week. “In order to make sure that everyone is prepared, we have routine crew rehearsals and frequent review sessions,” states Nina Taylor, Coordinating Producer for Scholastic Hi-Q. “The preparation process is really detail-oriented and requires a lot of organization.” Tune in to Scholastic Hi-Q on Sundays at 5:30pm. Each episode repeats the following Sunday at 9:30am.

Students who want to succeed should explore learning opportunities outside of the classroom and maintain a positive attitude, urges Taylor. “I think the more open-minded you are, the more you stand to gain, and I’ve gained so much from this experience.” An aspiring television personality, Taylor is confident that Scholastic Hi-Q has helped her to polish the skills she needs to be successful.

Governor’s Speeches Headline Illinois Lawmakers State of the State January 13 • 12pm (repeats 10:30pm)

Budget Address February 17 • 12pm (repeats 11pm)

SIU Television will broadcast live coverage of Governor Patrick Quinn’s annual State of the State Address and Budget Message as part of the public television series Illinois Lawmakers. WSIU Radio also will carry the broadcasts live on FM 91.9, 90.3, and 88.9, as well as via podcasts and streaming.

Illinois Lawmakers host Jak Tichenor will anchor the special television coverage, which will feature analysis by veteran Statehouse reporters and reaction from the legislative leadership of both parties. Both programs are expected to run for approximately 90 minutes. Illinois Lawmakers has provided television’s longest running continuing coverage of the Illinois General Assembly since its launch in 1986. The series also provides coverage of the General Assembly’s spring and fall sessions.

The NewsHour Gets a Makeover

s you may have noticed, The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer has launched a new title, a new on-air look, and a new approach to sharing news. “The explosive growth of cable news, the internet, and a 24hour news cycle has led to huge changes in the media industry,” says Jim Lehrer, who continues as executive editor and primary anchor of the award-winning news series – now renamed PBS NewsHour.

roduced by Ball State University, with support from the National Scenic Byways Program of the Federal Highway Administration, Movers & Stakers: Stories Along the Indiana National Road focuses on the Indiana segment of the nation’s first federally funded highway, commissioned in 1806 by President Thomas Jefferson. The program airs on Thu, Jan 31 at 9pm.

“Each weeknight, we will be a key on air and online destination for a deeper dive into the most important news of the day presented in a thoughtful and objective way,” says Lehrer. “Our goal is to be the source for the best journalism available anywhere, anytime.” Other program enhancements include: Nancy Carlson, director of Movers & Stakers, shoots a segment on the importance of the Model T to tourism. Photo: Provided by Ball State University.

Movers & Stakers documents 13 stories of people and places along a 156-mile portion of the road, now U. S. Route 40, stretching between Richmond and Terre Haute. “Many travel guides have been written about the National Road, but no one has told the many human stories of building the road, living along it, or traveling across it,” says Nancy Carlson, program director and an Associate Professor of Telecommunications at Ball State. “You can read the information, but to hear from the families and workers who have lived on the National Road makes the stories come alive. Learn more about the program online at www.nationalroadfilm.com.

• A nightly dual-anchor format, with Lehrer joined in the studio by senior correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, and Jeffrey Brown. Senior correspondents Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner will report from the field. • Integration of the on-air and online reporting teams and collaboration with other public media content producers, such as Frontline, NPR News, and local public media producers. • A Web site redesign at pbs.org/newshour featuring unique sub-sites that capitalize on the personalities and strengths of its correspondents.

WSIU Expands Raising Readers

SIU is expanding the successes of our PBS KIDS Raising Readers initiative and continuing to work with partners to bring more literacy projects to our region. Some of these new activities include: • Toolkits and activities for The Electric Company for classrooms and after-school programs. WSIU’s early childhood undergraduate assistant, Carolina Badiano, will use the toolkits to present literacy activities for season two of The Electric Company to more than 100 youth groups across our region. • Additional PBS KIDS Library Corners. Library Corners featuring PBS KIDS Island online games, video / audio resources, educational materials, and children’s books will be installed in more community and school libraries. • Super WHY Reading Camp Curriculum adapted for classroom use. New Super WHY Classroom DVDs are available and will be distributed to 200 preschools and early elementary schools. • Fundraising for books to complement the Martha Speaks Reading Buddies program. Fundraising is underway with the goal of introducing this eight-week, vocabulary-building project to kindergarten and fourth grade students in schools this spring. • Development of Continuing Education Credits for Raising Readers Courses. WSIU is working with John A. Logan College to offer educators the opportunity to earn course credit towards an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education through a series of Raising Readers courses on PBS TeacherLine. Courses are currently being reviewed by the Illinois Community College Board. WSIU also is discussing the Raising Readers course options with the SIUC College of Education.

earning can happen anytime, which is why WSIU has partnered with Save-A-Lot to launch “Supermarket Explorer” at the store’s Carbondale, Illinois location at 301 East Walnut.

Based on PBS KIDS programs such as WordWorld, “Supermarket Explorer” is a Raising Readers literacy project designed to increase childhood literacy rates by creating new opportunities for children to learn and play every day. While shopping at the grocery store with their families, children are invited to play games that will help to improve their skills with letters and words. Families also can discover healthy food choices while spending quality time together. Working with Carbondale Save-ALot store managers Jeff and Brenna Burnett, WSIU’s Raising Readers team has developed in-store promotions, newspaper inserts, and advertising for the game, which is open to the public at the store this winter. Other partners for this fun activity for families include the SIUC Student Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC), SIUC Head Start, and Women With Infants and Children (WIC), who plan to conduct in-store learning activities with families.

The National Parks: America’s Best Idea Encore Presentation • Wednesdays at 8pm January 27 – March 3

SIU, the Shawnee National Forest, and the Illinois Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association, with support from a grant from WETA, recently concluded a local initiative in conjunction with the fall 2009 launch of the Ken Burns’ documentary, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.

WSIU’s local initiative, “Touch the Trail,” focused on our regional connection to the National Park Service through the National Historic Trails System and the National Historic Trail of Tears. Events included: • Trail of Tears Workday: WSIU staff members joined dozens of community volunteers and the U.S. Forest Service to clear a portion of the original Trail of Tears in Pope County. The trail segment is partially located on the farm of Joe and Ethel Crabb and is adjacent to Forest Service land. • Trail of Tears Bus Tour: WSIU and our partners hosted a bus tour from Union County to the Trail of Tears State Park in Jackson, Missouri. Interpreters from the Illinois Chapter of the Trail of Tears served as docents for the tour, which ended at the park with a film about the Cherokee Nation. • Personal Threads Quilt Workshops: WSIU partnered with Calico Country Sew and Vac to host two one-day workshops at their Carbondale and West Frankfort locations. Quilters learned how to design

Sharing Stories and Touring the Trail of Tears in Southern Illinois

and create quilt blocks reflecting personal experiences in America’s national parks. See samples of their work at wsiu.org, under “Television,” “National Parks, “Share Your Story,” and “Browse Stories.” • Preview Screening of The National Parks: Dr. Logan Park, Assistant Professor in SIUC’s Forestry department and sponsor of the screening, introduced the film and discussed the department’s efforts to manage and preserve our natural spaces. The Saluki Heritage Interpreters, a registered student organization of the College of Agricultural Sciences - Department of Forestry, hosted the event.

The upcoming encore presentation of “The National Parks” on WSIU TV is sponsored regionally by the SIU Department of Forestry in the College of Agricultural Sciences, providing undergraduate and graduate degrees in several program areas, including Forest Recreation and Park Management, Forest Resource Management, Urban Forestry, and Forest Hydrology. SIU Forestry students enjoy many outdoors classroom experiences with coursework that prepares them for careers working in nature for conservation, recreation, and environmental sustainability. SIU Department of Forestry alumni have enjoyed careers in many national parks across the United States and in natural and urban spaces around the world.

Robert Lewis: Stories From the Earth

s part of Native American Heritage Month, WSIU and the Shawnee National Forest hosted a return visit by Robert Lewis, educator and storyteller for the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Over 1,000 adults and children enjoyed Lewis’ unique participatory storytelling style at performances hosted at the SIUC Student Center Ballrooms, Cedarhurst Center for the Arts in Mt. Vernon, Southeastern Illinois College, Shawnee College, and Pope County Schools.

Lewis also spent a day with WSIU TV producers Jak Tichenor and David Kidd taping a segment for the weekly TV series, WSIU InFocus. Lewis was filmed while speaking with board members of the Illinois Chapter of the Trail of Tears and staff from the Shawnee National Forest in various locations along the Trail of Tears. WSIU and the Shawnee National Forest appreciate the opportunity to work with the Cherokee Nation to make Lewis’ return to our region possible.

or over 20 years, Nancy Zieman has made sewing, quilting, and embroidering more efficient and enjoyable for viewers of her popular public TV series, Sewing With Nancy. Each episode features step-by-step instructions of creations developed by Zieman and her special guests. We’re excited to announce that fiber artist Karen Linduska of Carbondale will soon make an appearance on the show! Zieman and Linduska met at the American Quilt Association Conference in Paducah, Kentucky where they shared a Baby-Lock Sewing Machine booth. As Linkduska demonstrated her unique decorative stitch thread painting technique, Zieman expressed an interest and invited Linduska to appear on the show. “Working with Nancy and her staff was a wonderful experience,” says Linduska. “She is a class act and is very dedicated to spreading the knowledge (about different quilting and sewing techniques).”

Calico Country is an authorized dealer of Baby Lock, Elna, Bernina, Janome, and Pfaff sewing machines, embroidery machines, and sergers, as well as floor care machinery including ORECK, Simplicity, Miele, Hoover, Royal, and Sebo vacuum cleaners. Both stores offer a wide variety of classes, quilting fabrics, sewing notions, and vacuum cleaner supplies and service. According to Chuck Clark, “When purchasing a sewing machine or vacuum, you don’t select a machine, you select a dealer.

Each quarter, new class calendars for both the Carbondale and West Frankfort locations target all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, as well as free instructional classes open to machine customers. The stores also host special events and guest speakers. Calico Country underwrites a variety of WSIU TV programs, especially quilting and sewing, says Clark. “We chose to become underwriters because we share certain values such as a commitment to quality and the free exchange of ideas and information, despite politics, ethnicity, or social status. “The diverse demographic base from which WSIU draws also appealed to us.” According to Chuck, “The response has been very positive! Our customers have long appreciated our support of the local community. Many of our customers are loyal viewers.” “It’s important for the community to support public television. If we don’t, who will? We definitely recommend underwriting to other businesses…this is a treasure that should be preserved and protected by each of us and supported in any way we can. If we as business owners enjoy the benefits of exposure to a wellinformed, highly educated demographic while lending this support, all the better.” For more information, contact Calico Country in West Frankfort at (618) 932-2992, in Carbondale at (618) 529-5665, or on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com.

rom the Twin Cities Public Television, producers of Newton’s Apple and DragonflyTV, comes SciGirls, a brand new PBS KIDS science show for and about tween girls! SciGirls will showcase bright, curious real girls putting science and engineering to work, as they answer real-life questions and make unexpected discoveries in the world around them. This exciting new TV series represents an expansion of DragonflyTV’s national outreach program, also called SciGirls. Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Program for Gender Equity, SciGirls outreach empowered educators and youth leaders to deliver hands-on science encouragement and career guidance to girls in their communities. In its first three years, SciGirls served more than 5,000 girls in 25 communities across the country, including cities in Southern Illinois where WSIU and our partners brought interactive science to over 300 girls. In 2007, WSIU’s SciGirls project won the top outreach award from the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA). The launch of the SciGirls TV series coincides with the federal government’s “Educate to Innovate” campaign, which is designed to improve the participation and performance of America’s students in science, technology, engineering, and science (STEM). Leading companies, foundations, non-profits, and science and engineering societies also are participating.
