learn what it takes to compete in a

piano competition when WcTe

explores Tennessee Tech university’s

Young artist Piano competition in Youth:

behind the Keys.

each year, high school students gather

from all over the region to perform selected

pieces in front of three judges. Youth: Behind the Keys takes a look behind-the-

scenes to discover what’s at the heart of

these young competitors and how studying

music at a young age has helped them not

only with discovering their talent, but also

helping them academically, build their self-

esteem and realizing their future endeavors.

With the piano competition entering

its seventh year, dr. catherine Godes,

Professor of Piano at TTu, is continually

impressed by the caliber of talent she sees

during these performances. but the event is

more than simply a showcase of local talent.

“i want to use this competition as a

way to encourage, in this region especially,

young pianists,” explains dr. Godes. “and

if they hear what some of these prodigious

talents are doing, it could inspire them.”

on september 21, 2013, the first ever World Peace day celebration was held at the isha

institute of inner-sciences in mcminnville. The event was created to promote global unity in honor of the united nations international day of Peace. arianna huffington, founder and editor-in-chief for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Huffington Post, was the headline speaker. named in 2013 by forbes as one of the World’s most Powerful Women, arianna huffington was also named twice to the Time 100, Time Magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people. in may 2005, she launched The Huffington Post, a news and

blog site that quickly became one of the most widely read, linked to and frequently cited media brands on the internet. in 2012, the site won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. huffington is also a nationally syndicated columnist and author of 13 books. The person she sat down to have a conversation with was isha foundation founder, sadhguru J. vasudev, renowned indian yogi and visionary. named one of india’s 50 most influential people, he has addressed prominent global forums on issues as diverse as socio-economic development, leadership and spirituality. he has served as delegate to the united nations millennium Peace summit and the World Peace congress and has been a special invitee to the World economic forum (2006-2009), the australian leadership retreat (2006) and Ted (2009).

his interviews are featured in The New York Times, bbc, bloomberg, cnni and cnbc. he is the author of several books, the subject of four books and co-author of amazon’s bestseller “midnights with the mystic.” Watch their fascinating conversation, plus interviews with attendees and the outdoor concert by the l.a.-based alt rock band The mowglis in this WcTe mini-documentary.

WCTE is about local service. From the Stations of

Imagination event for children to building healthier communities

with activities such as the Run for Your Mama 5k’s and the

Haunted Half Marathon to the free film presentations and

discussions at Community Cinema.

In 2013, we promoted economic development through tourism

with the show, Discover the Upper Cumberland, highlighted

our Tennessee farmers and green entrepreneurs with Live Green

Tennessee, opened our nation to great music and natural beauty

with award-winning series like Bluegrass Underground, Jammin’

at Hippie Jack’s, Live From Livingston and the Smithville Fiddlers’

Jamboree. We also created a mini-documentary about Isha’s

International Day of Peace. The independent producers behind

these works, like Todd Jarrell, Todd Mayo, Jack Stoddart and our

own WCTE staff, represent our region at its best.

The President and CEO of the Corporation for Public

Broadcasting, Patricia Harrison, came to Cookeville to speak at our

annual dinner. As well, The PBS series Road Trip Nation also paid

a visit to Putnam County for the benefit of local students.

We now have two locations for you to visit – our corporate

offices downtown on the square in Cookeville, and our technical

wing on the beautiful Tennessee Tech campus.

It’s impossible to list all we accomplished in 2013, but I

encourage you to go online to wcte.org and look at our annual

report. At WCTE, we look forward to serving our beloved Upper

Cumberland in 2014, and we will

continue to work hard as your

community-owned PBS station. Thank

you for taking this journey with us and

for making WCTE your very own.

The Showman and the Hero: Jesse L. Lasky

and Alvin C. YorkProducer John White

Airing Fri., Feb 14 @ 8:30pm & Thurs., Feb.27 @ 9pm

The Showman and The Hero follows hollywood producer Jesse l. lasky, founder of Paramount Pictures, on his 20-year quest to make a film about Tennessee’s son and one of the most decorated heroes of World War i, sergeant alvin c. York. New York, Wednesday evening, 2 July 1941: at the smashingly successful premiere of the Warner brothers film sergeant York, a writer for the Hollywood Reporter likened the spectacular pageantry to “a royal procession.” rolling down broadway from the ritz Towers to the astor Theater amid sweeping spotlights and popping flashbulbs, amid the thousands gathered to witness the event, a limousine carrying Jessie lasky and alvin c. York arrived following an army marching band, playing loudly and enthusiastically. The film was worthy of its parade. a few hours later, the curtain fell to tumultuous applause. The critics were unanimous in their praise. a typical review read, “…not only one of the best pictures of this year, but one of the greatest ever made in hollywood (Kate cameron, New York Daily News).” Sergeant York became a huge critical and commercial success. it won the academy award for best Picture of the year and was the top-grossing film for 1941. This is a fascinating account of how a determined filmmaker, Jesse l. lasky, brought one of america’s most treasured stories to the screen.

Introducing Jodi Pitts, New Auction Coordinator

by Allison Fox

in november, WcTe gave a big

welcome to Jodi Pitts, who has

joined the WcTe family to

coordinate one of the station’s richest

traditions and single largest fundraiser, the

Great Tv auction!

born and raised in the cookeville/baxter

area, Jodi moved to florida for a couple

of years after studying human ecology at

TTu. When she and her husband Jason

decided to start a family, she says she

“couldn’t imagine raising a family anywhere

but cookeville.” she holds fond Tennessee

memories of being barefoot in the grass

and frolicking on her grandparents’ farm in

baxter. returning to cookeville in 2007,

Jodi and Jason now have two children,

Kaelyn, 6 and braxton, 4.

Growing up in a rural area, Jodi’s family

didn’t have cable. “WcTe was my only

television exposure until i was in high

school — my favorite shows as a child

were Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers’

Neighborhood.” now her own kids love

watching Pbs Kids shows, and braxton

has been wearing his Super Why! costume

around the house since halloween. Jodi

is partial to Antiques Roadshow these days,

and each summer she and her husband

tune in for the Great Tv auction.

Jodi feels honored to be the newest part

of the WcTe family. “The opportunity

to work for a non-profit and be involved

with something that is so enriching to

the community is a good way to be better

connected to the upper cumberland. To

be part of something so great and valuable

as public television is a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity.”

“i want to be part of growing the

station. i hope by running a successful

auction this year and building the auction

in years to come that we can really

contribute back to our upper cumberland

Pbs station in a substantial way. i’m

looking forward to the challenges that

come along with the job, to giving a new

face to the auction, and to revitalizing this

great event while still holding on to the

Great Tv auction traditions.”

The 2014 Great Tv auction will be

coming to you may 29 – June 1 and June

5 – 8. if you have any questions about the

auction, or would like to be a part of it,

please contact Jodi at [email protected] or

931.528.2222, ext 236.

Season 3: Premieres Sunday, Jan. 19 (right after Downton Abbey)

revisit the world’s only consulting detective, sherlock holmes, and his long-suffering and faithful friend,

dr. John Watson. benedict cumberbatch and martin freeman return as sherlock holmes and John Watson in three new 90-minute episodes of the contemporary reinvention of the sir arthur conan doyle classic, created by steven moffat (Doctor Who) and mark Gatiss. “The genius Sherlock team has done it again,” says masTerPiece executive producer rebecca eaton. “These new episodes are as wildly imaginative and

brilliantly produced as all the others. These people are Good!” nearly 11 million viewers tuned into the second season of Sherlock, which ended with a shocking cliffhanger. fans flocked to the internet to speculate about sherlock’s “demise,” and express their eagerness to find out what happens next. “We love that Sherlock fans are so passionate and eager to see season 3,” said Pbs chief Programming executive and General manager of General audience Programming, beth hoppe. “The pairing of Downton Abbey and Sherlock in January

offers a blockbuster night of british drama only on Pbs stations.” as in previous seasons, titles for the three episodes are pegged to a classic sherlock holmes title by arthur conan doyle—delightfully, wittily, and briskly updated.

behind the scenes

Does This Art Make My Lobby Look Phat?

The WcTe lobby shows two sides of my

multifaceted art career. The bubble Wall was a commissioned mural. a commission is dependent on being able to evaluate what the client wants, taking into account budget restraints, timetables and logistic accessibility. i’ve modified a nationally established Pbs ‘bubble’ motif and recognizable icons from well-known Pbs programming, and adapted them to the WcTe lobby. on the other hand, my paintings in the lobby are

free form abstractions and impressionistic landscapes straight out of my mind and artistic vision. They are the end result of my talent and insatiable desire to create. The only person necessary to please was myself.

Protect My Public Media

take a stand for the local stations and PrograMs you love.Protect My Public Media is a collaboration of local public radio and television stations, national distributors, producers, viewers, listeners and others who support a strong public media in the United States. The goal of the campaign is to activate our audiences to support federal funding for public media by taking a stand for the local stations and programs you love.For more information go to protectmypublicmedia.org

i did not make clay pieces specifically for the WcTe new offices on the square, but i may as well have. They

are quite comfortable there, and are complemented by their surroundings. my ‘Pod series,’ comprising three large textured clay eggs in a cool palette, floats serenely on the blue lobby wall. in the lobby’s picture windows are my ‘fly now’

and ‘me, me, me!’ both are figurative sculptures, with gentle stories to tell. They are interesting to encounter and easy to relate to, just like WcTe! in the upstairs office a large bowl, “as You like it,” is perched. it’s a strong and lively piece, with acorn feet and “wings” that lift it and give it spirit. “lotus” is placed in the upstairs

conference room. The piece is tall, intense and peaceful, referring to the power of ritual. all in all, it is a very diverse group of work, but these pieces have settled into the creative environment at our Pbs station’s new home and made themselves comfortable! artwork does this in any environment: it adds an energy, a presence. it adds life.

Darla Kiel Runge

originally from holland, michigan, darla moved to the upper cumberland in 2005 to

help her husband rollin set up a tooling business in cookeville. she soon fell in love with the beauty of the terrain, the people and the weather – she does not miss the michigan snow one little bit. darla’s introduction to WcTe came one day in 2006 when she was out horseback riding with her friend suzanne Whitehead (nee bussell), who was a WcTe employee at the time. suzanne mentioned to darla that the station could use a few more volunteers to help with the Great Tv auction. darla volunteered. becky magura admired darla’s organizational skills and asked her to come on board at WcTe as her personal assistant. but with the staff so few and the station’s commitments so many, darla ended up being everybody’s assistant. for the next six years, until her recent retirement, what darla enjoyed the most about working at WcTe was the camaraderie. “We laughed. a lot. i was amazed at

the informal atmosphere. it was just… comfortable. in my previous jobs in michigan, i worked from the moment i walked in the door until i walked out eight hours later. here, i was more than part of a team – i was part of a family. “ darla has seen the station come a long ways since she first walked through the doors. “becky magura really encouraged her people to learn as much as possible. she is driven to keep improving, to not stay in the box. she dares to reach out, to be different. a lot of people would be afraid to try but she seems to have no fear. Whatever the project, her attitude is… “we can do this, we will pull this off, this will happen.” “The station has improved 100 fold since 2006. both the content and the clarity of the signal have improved dramatically but it goes beyond that. WcTe grew by being more and more connected to the communities of the upper cumberland, and learned by studying what other Pbs stations are doing across the nation. i never dreamed that it would evolve into to the great station it is today.”

Tuesday, January 7 in the early 20th century, the average american medicine cabinet was a would-be poisoner’s treasure chest: radioactive radium in health tonics, thallium in depilatory creams, morphine in teething medicine and potassium cyanide in cleaning supplies. While the tools of the murderer’s trade multiplied as the pace of industrial innovation increased, the scientific knowledge (and political will) to detect and prevent the crimes lagged. This changed in 1918, when new York city hired its first scientifically trained medical examiner, charles norris. over a decade and a half, norris and his chief toxicologist, alexander Gettler, turned forensic chemistry into a formidable science, sending many a murderer to the electric chair and setting the standards that the rest of the country would ultimately adopt. based on the best-selling book by deborah blum.

American Experience: 1964Tuesday, January 14

The beatles, the civil rights act, the Gulf of Tonkin, barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign -- in 1964, cities across the country erupted in violence while americans tried to make sense of the Kennedy assassination. based on The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964 by award-winning journalist Jon margolis, this film follows some of the most prominent figures of the time and explores the actions of ordinary americans whose frustrations, ambitions and anxieties began to turn the country onto a new course.

American Masters: SalingerTuesday, January 21

featuring 150 interviews, including J.d. salinger’s friends, colleagues and members of his inner circle who have never spoken on the record before, as well as film footage, photographs and other material that has never been seen. The film is the first work to get beyond The Catcher in the Rye author’s meticulously built-up wall: his childhood, painstaking work methods, marriages, private world and the secrets he left behind after his death.

HawkingWednesday, January 29

This is the intimate and revealing story of stephen

hawking’s life. Told for the first time in hawking’s own

words and with unique access to his home and public life,

this is a personal journey through hawking’s world. The

audience joins him at home, under the care of his nursing

team; in san Jose as he “wows” a packed theatre audience; in

silicon valley as he meets a team of technicians who hope

to speed up his communication system; and as he throws

a party for family and friends. haWKinG also carefully

tells hawking’s life journey, from boyhood under-achiever

to Phd genius, and from a healthy cox on the oxford

rowing team to diagnosis of motor neuron disease, given

just two years to live — yet surviving several close brushes

with death. The film also highlights his greatest scientific

discoveries and plots his rise to fame and superstardom.

Super Skyscrapers: A Four Part Series

Wednesdays, February 5, 12, 19, 26 as urban space shrinks, we build higher and faster than ever before, creating a new generation of skyscrapers. “super skyscrapers” are pushing the limits of engineering, technology and design to become greener, stronger, smarter and more luxurious than their predecessors. This four-part series follows the creation of four extraordinary buildings, showcasing how they will revolutionize the way we live, work and protect ourselves from potential threats.

Roman Catacomb MysteryWednesday, February 5

beneath the streets of rome lies an ancient city of the dead known as the catacombs — a labyrinth of tunnels, hundreds of miles long — a cemetery for the citizens of ancient rome. in 2002, maintenance workers stumbled through an opening in one of the tunnel walls and discovered a previously unknown complex of six small rooms, each stacked floor to ceiling with skeletons. it was a mass grave, locked away for nearly 2,000 years. Who were these people? Why were so many interred in one place, piled atop each other? and most important, what killed them? nova’s forensic investigation opens up new insights into the daily life and health of roman citizens during the heyday of the mighty roman empire.

Nature: Honey Badgers: Masters of MayhemWednesday, February 19

“honey badger is bad ass.” Those words and corresponding video became a YouTube sensation, with 51 million hits. This “thug of the savannah” is one the most fearless animals in the world, renowned for its ability to confront grown lions, castrate charging buffalo and shrug off the toxic defenses of stinging bees, scorpions and snakes. little is known about its behavior in the wild or why it is so aggressive. This film follows badger specialists in south africa who take on these masters of mayhem in ways that must be seen to be believed.

Las MarThasThe annual debutante ball in Laredo, Texas is unlike any other. Part of the largest celebration of George Washington’s birthday in the world, a 114-year tradition, a select group of mostly Mexican-American girls is chosen each year to dress in elaborate gowns representing iconic figures from America’s colonial history. Their goal: to recreate a party hosted by Martha Washington, but this time set along the US/Mexico border. Las Marthas follows two of the girls as they prepare for this extraordinary rite of passage.

The TriaLs of MuhaMMad aLiA feature-length documentary film covering Ali’s toughest bout, his battle to overturn the five-year prison sentence he received for refusing U.S. military service. Trials is not a boxing film. It is a fight film tracing a formative period in Ali’s life, one that is remarkably unknown to young people today and tragically neglected by those who remember him as a boxer, but overlook how controversial he was when he first took center stage.

The most-watched drama in Pbs history enters its fourth gripping season with the whole world waiting to learn how the beloved

characters deal with a shocking tragedy. The acclaimed ensemble is back, together with returning guest star academy award®-winner shirley maclaine. all who tuned in last season know that matthew crawley—heir to downton abbey, husband to lady mary (dockery), and brand new father to a baby boy and successor—lies dead on a country road next to his overturned roadster. on top of this, the family is still grieving over the death in childbirth of sybil, mary’s youngest sister, who also left a baby behind. season 4 opens six months later. although it is the 1920s, britain still

observes mourning rituals that are almost victorian in their solemnity. nonetheless, the crawleys are beginning to snap out of it: robert, lord Grantham (bonneville), must manage the estate without his canny son-in-law; cora suddenly faces a staffing crisis; violet, who has seen enough tragedy, knows how to recoup quickly; isobel (Wilton), matthew’s mother, may never recover; edith (carmichael), who was jilted at the altar, tempts scandal with a new beau; and mary now finds herself the most desirable widow in Yorkshire. The servants also pick up, buck up, and get on with it—with new arrivals, departures, rivalries, and betrayals among the downstairs staff. life goes on at downton abbey. among the new faces are Paul Giamatti (sideways) as cora’s playboy brother, harold,

who appears in the season finale; dame harriet Walter (little dorrit) as violet’s old friend lady shackleton; Gary carr (death in Paradise) as jazz singer Jack ross; Joanna david (bleak house) as the duchess of Yeovil; Tom cullen (World Without end) as the dashing lord Gillingham, and Julian ovenden (smash, any human heart) as an unexpected houseguest. viewership and social media buzz have been soaring since the series launched in January 2011. season 3 reached a record 24.1 million viewers, more than any other drama in the history of Pbs, and the season had the highest Twitter buzz ever for public television. USA Today ranked it as a perfect four stars out of four. The Hollywood Reporter called it “an absolute pleasure to watch.” “We’d follow the crawleys off a cliff,” echoed The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Please have carson pack us a lunch.”

Watch the two-hour premiere of Downton Abbey on Sunday, January 5th at 8pm on WCTE.
