with Greg Petrowich A More Reliable Service

rought or no drought, we live in a stormy part of the nation. Seasonal thunderstorms pop up with short notice, bringing high winds, rain, lightning, and all too often, tornadoes. Occasionally there are storms like “May 8” or “February 29,” which bring such widespread disaster that the days of the year have now become synonymous with the weather event that occurred. No matter the scale of the weather event, electronic media has always been a key to maintaining our personal safety. Viewers and listeners depend on WSIU to warn them in advance of weather tracking into our area due to our vast geographic coverage area that reaches into five states. Warnings in Missouri almost always end up as warnings in Illinois and Kentucky, and ultimately Indiana. The wireless aspects of television and radio coupled with their unmatched immediacy make them ideally suited to deliver emergency information in a basement or storm shelter where Internet and even cell phone service simply aren’t available. To help insure our reliability at WSIU, we’ll soon be installing new back-up power generators at our two TV transmitter sites in Tamaroa and Olney, Ill., as well as at the TV studios here in Carbondale. Once operational, these generators will allow WSIU to remain on the air during power disruptions that often accompany our severe weather. The generators are funded under the WARN Act (Warning, Alert, and Response Network) that helps public television stations remain on the air to transmit alert messaging during times of emergency.

ongratulations to WSIU Radio morning news anchor Jennifer Fuller for being named the Associated Press (AP) 2011 Newsfinder of the Year. The Carterville, Illinois native received the honor this spring at the annual Illinois News Broadcasters Association Convention in Macomb. Fuller also was presented with a 1st Place Award from the AP for Best Downstate Radio News Reporter in 2011.

Fuller graduated from SIU Carbondale in 2000 and earned a Master’s degree in Public Affairs Reporting at the University of Illinois – Springfield in 2001.

Top WSIU Student Employees Honored WSIU hosted a Cinco de Mayo-themed student appreciation dinner on May 4 for all WSIU student employees and presented awards to top students for 2011-12. Winners were presented with a framed certificate and cash gift, and their names were engraved on plaques on display at the WSIU stations. Congratulations to all!

While our most frequent emergencies in this region tend to be weather related (severe thunderstorm, tornado, flash flooding), we know there are other risks, as well, including earthquakes and even man-made disasters. An event that causes a power outage has the potential to disrupt communications to millions in this region.

Nothing is certain during an emergency, but this new network of generators should make receiving WSIU’s TV signal far more reliable, and being on the air is, of course, a key first step in getting you the information you need to react appropriately.

Student Service Award

Work on the generator project should commence this month, with completion scheduled by fall. We’ll keep you updated on the progress and as always, thanks for watching and supporting WSIU.

Sunday, July 1 • 11pm Documentary | Among Giants (15 min.) By Ben Mullinkosson, Chris Cresci, and Sam Price-Waldman In the midst of California’s coastal redwood region, Green Diamond Resource Company continues to clearcut redwood forests, devastating habitats and leaving scars across the land. Farmer (shown in photo above), an environmental activist in his late 20s, decides to tree-sit in the McKay Tract, a 60-acre grove of ancient redwoods that is home to spotted owls, deer, flying squirrels, and countless other life forms. Among Giants begins three years into the McKay tree-sit. Atop his platform a hundred feet up in the redwood canopy, Farmer must battle the elements and avoid isolation as he fights for a sustainable future. Documentary | Sterling Hallard Bright Drake (15 min.) By Robert Sickles This documentary parses the line between truth and memory in solving the mysteries surrounding one of the world’s most notorious and talked about tombstones. The result is a surprisingly funny and unexpectedly profound meditation on the seemingly inexhaustible optimism and promise of youth, the inescapable mortal realities of aging, and the double-edged sword of true love.

Now he must contend with the pressures of raising a herd, sharing land with his parents, and bearing the financial burdens of farm life while still in high school.

Animation | Fin de Siècle (8 min.) By Kathleen Quillian Fin de Siècle reveals the metaphysical dimensions of the Victorian era and examines the pervasive preoccupations of the time with superstition, novelty, spirituality, and death.

Documentary | Up on the Farm (16 min.) By Diane Nerwin Up On The Farm explores Brooklyn Grange, a rooftop organic farm in New York City. Connecting built and natural environments, the film takes a closer look at an attempt to transform the roof of a century-old former factory into a sustainable haven.

Sunday, July 15 • 10:30pm Narrative | Mercury in Tuna (10 min.) By Kristin Lauth Schaeffer Avery Sutton lives a life that is governed by her fears.

Narrative | Tidy Up (15 min.) By Satsuki Okawa A young Japanese man tries to de-clutter the house that his deceased mother turned into a hoarder’s castle. His efforts are complicated by his elder sister’s insistence on continuing their mother’s legacy.

Experimental | The Deep Dark (7 min.) By Laura Heit The Deep Dark journeys into the human psyche with animation, projected shadows, fleeting lights, and ethereal vocal incantations by songwriter and musician Emily Lacy. Animation | Pop (3 min.) By Rachel Moore Pop is a humorous abstract interpretation of the history of life on earth from beginning to end, just in time for 2012.

Sunday, July 29 • 10:57pm Documentary | Between Two Rivers (96 min.)

By Jacob Cartwright and Nick Jordan Between Two Rivers presents a dramatic and moving picture of Cairo, Illinois, a historic town with a dark and troubled past located at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The film explores multiple factors that led to the once-booming city’s fall, including the violent race riots in the late 1960s, and the devastating long-term impact of economic inequalities, environmental disasters, and social injustice.

rom the producers of the hit PBS series Antiques Roadshow comes a new adventure for treasure seekers. Hosted by Fred Willard, Market Warriors brings the bustle, energy, and competition of a live flea market to the screen. In each episode, four pickers – John Bruno, Miller Gaffney, Bob Richter, and Kevin Bruneau (photo above, left-right) – travel to different market locations across the country to purchase certain items with a set amount of money.

SIU and the Southern Illinois Region 5 Women With Infants and Children (WIC) Agencies recently partnered to address food insecurity issues among at-risk families by localizing Sesame Street’s Healthy Habits for Life and Food For Thought content.

This summer, WSIU and WIC will distribute 3,000 Food For Thought toolkits to families at area Farmers Markets. The toolkits include a family tip sheet, a list of ‘anytime’ and ‘sometime’ foods, and a family grocery list. We’ll also host Super Food and Supermarket Explorer Game activities, and a cooking demonstration featuring Chef Bill, head chef at SIU Carbondale’s student dining halls, who will prepare healthy food using Sesame Street character recipe cards.

SIU and the Carbondale Public Library would like to thank the Carbondale community for making our Community Cinema project a success! The project, which began in January of this year, is designed to bring together leading organizations, community members, and public television stations to learn about, discuss, and get involved in the key social issues of our time.

Our final Community Cinema event was held on May 26 and featured the film Strong!, which profiles Cheryl Haworth, a young Olympic weightlifter struggling with injury, confidence, and her place in a world where larger women are not readily accepted. SIU sports sociologist Dr. Bobbi Knapp and SIU associate softball coach Jen Sewell lead a discussion after the film.
