patternsMaking a positive impact on our communitiesBy Mark Leonard, General Manager

On Tuesday, Sept. 22, WILL joined 18 other public broadcast stations at the first annual Public Television Health Education Showcase on Capitol Hill. The showcase highlighted the roles that public television stations are playing in their communities to advance the agendas of health education and disease prevention. WILL was selected to participate because of our work in the areas of childhood dental health (Smile Healthy), childhood obesity (Young Learners Initiative Healthy Habits), and childhood wellness (C-U Fit Families).

Members of Congress and their staffs had an opportunity to visit individually with each station and observe the meaningful work that local public television is accomplishing throughout the country. Among the speakers at the event was former Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Louis Sullivan.

The range of initiatives was impressive, and ably demonstrated the tremendous potential of public media to increase its contribution in educating adults, as well as children, in ways of achieving wellness and disease prevention. With health care reform the central topic in Washington, our exhibits were timely and well received by the legislators. Critical to the success of any reform plan is the reduction of medical costs through wellness, as well as health care system efficiencies. WILL and our colleagues demonstrated that public television is already an effective mechanism for distributing this information, primarily at a grassroots, local level. With a more concerted and focused national effort, this work could be enhanced and expanded tremendously. This potential was not lost on those who attended the event.

Through public engagement, Illinois Public Media is continuing to identify ways that it can use its resources on behalf of our local communities. As a trusted source of information, we act as a catalyst to bring like-minded organizations together around topics of community need. This operating model has helped us to be more effective in our childhood health and wellness initiatives, and is central to guiding our future initiatives. As the legislators in Washington discovered, WILL’s community impact goes well beyond the programs that we air each day on WILL AM, FM and TV.

From the moment of their birth, baby animals in the wild must learn whom to trust, what to fear and when to act. In Born Wild: The First Days of Life, Nature takes an in-depth look at several speciesfrom marmoset and moose to elephant and gorillaas they interact with their young, revealing parental in-stincts that closely mirror those of humans. This new program, which airs at 7 pm Sunday, Nov. 1, offers new insight into animals’ unique parental strategies, from the bizarre to the familiar.

Then at 7 pm Sunday, Nov. 8, meet a team of snake handlers in the tiny African country of Swaziland who are seeking to change public per-ception of one of the world’s most deadly creatures as Nature presents Black Mamba.

Next, Fellowship of the Whales (7 pm Sunday, Nov. 15) follows a young humpback whale’s first year of life.

Mirroring Human Instincts

Legendary musician John Fogerty will star in the Emmy Award-winning music series, Live By Request, coming to PBS for the first time at 8 pm Saturday, Nov. 7. Fogerty will perform a set list of requests submitted by viewers via interactive video, phone calls, text messages, email and social networks.

Since coming on the scene in the 1960s, Fogerty has been one of the country’s most revered and influential artists. As lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Creedence Clearwater Revival and as a Grammy-win-ning, chart-topping solo artist, his sound has spanned blues to country to Southern swamp rock and roll. Known as one of the greatest songwriters, singers and guitarists of all time, Fogerty was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. With the recent release of The Blue Ridge Ranger Rides Again, he joy-fully resurrects his mythical group.

Exploring human origins and dreams NOVA debuts Becoming Human: Unearthing Our Earliest Ancestors, a three-part series showcasing the discoveries that are trans-forming ideas about our progression as humans.

The first program Tuesday, Nov. 3, explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete fossil nicknamed “Lucy’s Child.” The sec-ond installment Tuesday, Nov. 10, tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors man-aged to survive in a savannah teeming with vicious predators, and when and why we first left our African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. In the final program Tuesday, Nov. 17, NOVA probes dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis that reveals new insights into how we became today’s hu-mans.

Then Tuesday, Nov. 24, NOVA’s What Are Dreams? joins leading dream researchers to investigate the world of sleepfrom hu-man narcoleptics to sleepwalking cats, from those with recurrent nightmares to others who can’t dream.

NOVA airs at 7 pm.

Help is available on the biggest cook-ing day of the year, thanks to Turkey Confidential, a live call-in program airing from 10 am to noon Thursday, Nov. 26, on AM 580. Lynne Rossetto Kasper, award-winning host of public radio’s national food show, The Splendid Table, will answer listener questions in this new Thanksgiving morning tradition. Past shows have includ-ed everything from a cross-country trucker cooking his dinner on the manifold to a panicked first-time cook who didn’t realize that a turkey needs to be thawed. Handling queries with wit, expertise and laughter, Kasper is joined this year by Christopher Kimball of America’s Test Kitchen, wine entrepreneur Joshua Wesson and others. In case you need it, the toll-free line to call is 800-537-5252!

Honoring veterans A variety of programs pay tribute to America’s veterans throughout the month, including a new episode of P.O.V., The Way We Get By, at 8 pm Wednesday, Nov. 11. On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, a group of senior citizens has made history by greeting nearly 800,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine. This intimate look at three of the greeters is followed at 9:30 pm by The Price of Freedom, a film about a small group of former World War II POWs who have come together 50 years after the war to tell their unique stories. See the TV listings for other specials on Nov. 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12.

Rebuilding 1930s AmericaIn March 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt proposed a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) aimed at providing relief for the one in four American workers who were unemployed. Over the next decade, the CCC put more than three million young men to work in the nation’s forests and parks, planting trees, building flood barriers, fighting fires and maintaining roads and trails. American Experience: Civilian Conservation Corps (8 pm Monday, Nov. 2) interweaves archival imagery with personal accounts of CCC veterans to tell the story of one of the boldest and most popular New Deal experiments.

More great thrillers on Masterpiece Contemporary

In 1963, a 13-year-old girl vanished without a trace. More than 40 years later, questions surrounding her disappearance and the hunt for the killer resurface when high-profile TV journalist Catherine Heathcote (Juliet Stevenson (left), Bend It Like Beckham, The Politician’s Wife) begins to unravel the mystery in Masterpiece Contemporary’s Place of Execution, airing at 8 pm Sundays, Nov. 1 and 8. In Collision, the story of a major road accident and the 10 seemingly unconnected people involved, a series of invisible dramas unfolds—from government cover-ups to torn relationships and murder. Douglas Henshall (Primeval), Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) and Phil Davis (Bleak House) star in the two-part thriller at 8 pm Sundays, Nov. 15 and 22.

Tributes to the first AmericansIn observance of Native American Month, don’t miss Power Paths (photo below), new from Independent Lens, at 9 pm Friday, Nov. 6. As Native American tribes turn to solar and wind sources to provide clean sustainable energy for cities across the West, they offer real solutions to America’s energy crisis. Then at 9 pm Thursday, Nov. 19, a symphony inspired by the Lewis and Clark expedition brings together Rob Kapilow, a celebrated composer trying to breathe new life into classical music, and Darrell Robes Kipp (photo below right), a Blackfeet Indian poet fighting to save his language from extinction. Summer Sun, Winter Moon (photo right) tells the story of how their unexpected collaboration creates a unique work of art from the perspective of American Indians today. Additional Native American programs air Nov. 16, 17, 18 and 25.
