MORE THAN JUST TELEVISION

any of you who are regular viewers and long-time residents know that WSIU is more than just a television station. For newcomers to the area or those who’ve only recently found public television, it may be helpful to review the larger organization of WSIU Public Broadcasting.

WSIU started as a radio station in 1958 and added WSIU television in 1961. Over the next four decades, our service expanded to include WUSI-TV and later WUSI-FM transmitting from Olney, Illinois. In recent years, WVSI-FM began providing radio coverage in the Mount Vernon area. But while radio and television programming make up the most publicly known aspects of SIU’s Broadcasting Service, there’s plenty more going on at WSIU. For example, WSIU operates the Southern Illinois Radio Information Service (SIRIS) both in Carbondale and in Mount Vernon. SIRIS provides a reading and information service for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, and print-disabled. Volunteers read local and regional newspapers, and the recordings are transmitted via a sideband channel of WSIU Radio to users with special radio receivers.

This service is free to those who qualify and is funded in part by the Illinois State Library and the United Way of Southern Illinois.

WSIU also serves the region with educational outreach for both children and educators. Our participation in the PBS Raising Readers program and PBS Teacherline has lead to invaluable instruction for children and educators. Additionally, WSIU conducts numerous activities to improve literacy skills and aid in early childhood development, including the PBS Kids GO! Writing Contest, PBS KIDS Raising Readers Library Corners, and the Biz Kid$ Bash.

The many facets of WSIU Public Broadcasting are all interconnected and all require financial support. We wouldn’t be successful as a television station if we weren’t successful as a radio station – and we won’t be successful at either without success in educational outreach.

WSIU is truly a community organization that serves everybody through a wide variety of programming and activities. In an effort to make philanthropic giving to all aspects of WSIU even easier, we’ve added a new choice to our gift reply envelopes. Simply check the box marked “WSIU Public Broadcasting” if you want to make one gift in support of all aspects of WSIU. If however you’d prefer to designate your gift specifically to one area at WSIU, we’ll still gladly honor your request, as always.

LAWMAKERS RETURN TO SPRINGFIELD FOR FALL VETO SESSION

V

iewers will have a front-row seat for all the action of the Illinois General Assembly’s fall Veto Session during a special edition of Illinois Lawmakers. “Everyone’s waiting to see how the outcome of the November 2 General Election will figure into the agenda when lawmakers return to the Capitol in mid-November,” says Illinois Lawmakers host Jak Tichenor, a senior producer at WSIU Public Television.

“No matter who wins the election, the job facing the Governor and the state’s 177 state senators and representatives will be an unenviable one now that the state’s budget deficit may end up topping the $15-billion mark.”

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1 11PM-12AM

The choices before state lawmakers are stark and politically unpopular: raise taxes, cut programs, borrow money, or a combination of all of three. Tichenor believes it will be interesting to see if lawmakers are finally willing to set aside their political differences once the campaign is over.

“Up until now, both parties have avoided making the tough choices to fire up their bases going into the fall contest in hopes of pulling out a win in November,” he said. “Now comes the hard part, actually pullling together to do the hard work of governing for the state’s nearly 13 million residents.”

Illinois Lawmakers, a collaborative production of the television stations of the Illinois Public Broadcasting Council, is the longestrunning television series providing continuing coverage of the Illinois General Assembly. Tichenor joined the series as Statehouse Correspondent in 1991 and became host of the program in 2005.

The hour-long program provides in-depth coverage and analysis of the General Assembly by veteran Statehouse reporters, news features, and long-form interviews with leading lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.

In addition to her service with the Chicago Public Library system, Dempsey has served as chair of the Urban Libraries Council and is the current Chair of the DePaul University Board of Trustees.

E

njoy ringside seats to life under the big top with Circus, a six-part series profiling New York’s Big Apple Circus.

Circus highlights the physical demands of human performance, as well as the confinements of being on the road for 10 months straight with 150 other people of different nationalities, belief systems, and backgrounds.

Performers from around the world share personal stories about the magic and mystery, happiness and heartache of life lived in constant motion. Clown Glen Heroy struggles with a haunting past that makes it difficult for him to find his place in the company, while teen acrobat Christian Stoinev grapples with the prospect of leaving his family’s circus legacy for a “normal life” in college.

WSIU Hosts Fall Literacy Events Cat in the Hat Readers Theater Builds Literac y, Brings Smiles to Cairo

T

he Cat in the Hat joined WSIU at Emerson Elementary School in Cairo, Illinois for a celebration of reading and the launch of a PBS KIDS Raising Readers Library Corner at the school’s library.

The day’s activities included several Raising Readers Theater performances featuring the Dr. Seuss character from the beloved book The Cat in the Hat. Using props created by WSIU, the Cat and children from kindergarten through second grade acted out the story in three performances.

Children act out a funny scene from the classic Dr. Seuss book from THE CAT IN THE HAT with guidance from – who else? – the curious Cat (left, played by WSIU student Mallory Henkleman).

Emerson Elementary School was the site of children’s media production research with Sesame Workshop and PBS for the TV series The Electric Company and the online destination PBS KIDS Island. The school has played a significant role in helping to develop new children’s public media at the national level.

Exploring God in Americ a

W

hat role has religion played in America’s social, political, and cultural development? Several dozen guests joined WSIU and the Carbondale Interfaith Council at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church on Monday, October 11 to discuss this question and others at a preview screening of the PBS series, God in America. The six-part series, which aired on WSIU-TV October 11-13, explores the historical role of religion in American public life.

Many thanks to Father Bob Flannery of St. Francis for hosting the event at Xavier Hall, for serving as a panelist following the screening, and for providing refreshments. We’d also like to thank fellow panelists Rev. Bill Sasso of Carbondale’s Unitarian Church and Dr. Michael Batinski, SIUC professor emeritus in history.

WSIU is planning to schedule a series of tours of sacred spaces in Carbondale and the surrounding area in the near future. Contact Vickie Devenport at (618) 453-6148 or vickie.devenport@wsiu.org to learn more. You can watch God in America, download resources, and visit “Faithbook,” an online community for religious discourse, at pbs.org/godinamerica.

WSIU and CCR&R are pleased to share 5,000 new books on interactive CD based on the PBS KIDS series Word World with area child care providers and families with young children. To request a copy of the CD, contact Beth Spezia at (618) 453-5595. We’re also continuing to distribute thousands of free educational resources created through PBS KIDS Raising Readers, including R U There? comic books and The Electric Company magazine #2, to regional schools and libraries.

TEACHING THE TEACHERS | This fall outreach coordinators Vickie Devenport and Beth Spezia are introducing educators and student teachers to PBS Teachers, PBS TeacherLine, Teachers Domain, and the Digital Learning Library. Locations include the SIUC College of Education, the Monroe/Randolph Counties BiCounty Institute, the Mount Vernon Teachers Conference, the Southern Illinois Association for the Education of Young Children, and regional community colleges.

ELECTRIFYING! |

On November 13, WSIU will present a Dance Pad Mania workshop at SIUC’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Conference for girls in grades 5-9. Using science concepts from the PBS KIDS programs Design Squad and SciGirls, students will work together to build an electric circuit. The circuit forms the base for a dance pad that lets students use their feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light. This year, we’ll use the popular dance tune “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz. Teams will compete for prizes while learning how to design, assemble, and “de-bug” a circuit!

expanded our underwriting to WSIU Public Television’s BizKid$ program. This weekly financial literacy series for tweens and teens helps us to fulfill our mission of financial education for young adults.” CEO Dennis Schaefer and several other SIU Credit Union staff members also have been enthusiastic volunteers at WSIU-TV’s financial literacy events for kids.

According to Chris Sievers, Marketing Director, “A lot of people still are surprised to learn that membership in our credit union is open not just to people affiliated with SIU, but also to anyone living or working in 11 Southern Illinois counties. We serve a wide range of customers, of all ages and from all across the region.”

Chris notes that a WSIU partnership seemed natural from the start. “We, too, are a nonprofit organization, and we, too, operate with a membership base. We strive to have the best interest of our members in mind with every decision we make.”

The SIU Credit Union is a long-time supporter of WSIU. Chris explains, “We’ve been a WSIU underwriter for years because we feel our members align well with the WSIU audience. We sponsor news programs on WSIU Public Radio, and we’ve recently

He reports that the SIU Credit Union believes their annual WSIU partnership is very successful. “We’ve had nothing but positive feedback. People constantly tell me they see and hear us on WSIU. Our Biz Kid$ underwriting has helped us connect with young adults throughout the region. I would definitely recommend WSIU sponsorship to

other businesses and institutions. It’s effective – WSIU has loyal listeners and it’s a great way to build awareness of your brand and your services. It’s also important – WSIU meets both educational needs and cultural needs in our communities. We feel as if our sponsorship helps to make WSIU available to the people.”

Chris says his family also watches WSIU-TV at home. “We watch Antiques Roadshow together, and I’ve enjoyed specials like the Carrier documentary series. And, with a two-year old in the house, Sesame Street is a regular!”

U

nder Charles “Chuck” Clark’s ownership, Calico Country Sew and Vac has grown from its original 400-square foot shop in 1988 to two 5000-square-foot stores in West Frankfort and Carbondale.

Calico Country is an authorized dealer of Baby Lock, Elna, Bernina, Janome, and Pfaff sewing machines, embroidery machines and sergers; floor care machinery including ORECK, Simplicity, Miele, Hoover, Royal, and Sebo vacuum cleaners; and IQ and Oreck air cleaners. Both stores offer a wide variety of classes, quilting fabrics, sewing notions, vacuum cleaner supplies, and repair/ maintenance services.

The Calico Country staff, with over 150 years of combined experience in sewing and quilting, enjoy their customers. “We really like working with the public, offering sewing, embroidery, and quilting classes that…allow people to better their surroundings and their lives by being creative.”

Quarterly class calendars for both locations target all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, as well as free instructional classes open to all customers who purchased machines from Calico Country. The stores also host special events and guest speakers, and keep in touch with customers through their website and an active Facebook page.

According to staff members, what might surprise the general public to know is the extent of their community work. “We engage our customers to use their creative powers and make quilts to help others. This fall, we are helping the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Pediatric Oncology in St. Louis. To date, our Club Calico members have made 85 quilts for them, with more being sewn every week.”

Staff also note that Chuck has donated all of the fabric for this endeavor.
