Remaining thankful and hopeful in light of funding cuts By George Hauenstein, Director of Development

Your support is the backbone of Illinois Public Media and provides one in three dollars of our annual operating revenue. Among your ranks are 13,500 individual annual contributors and more than 200 businesses. This collective community sup-port is what allows us to bring you the best in television and radio programs, as well as outreach efforts that benefit central Illinois residents on a large scale.

Your generosity helped us showcase our area’s history by producing two new local documentaries over the past year. It allowed us to add the Create and World channels to our television line-up and to air new local programming on both AM 580 and FM 90.9. Plus, it enabled us to teach media produc-tion skills through Youth Media Workshop projects, such as our recent Kickapoo initiative with the Boys & Girls Club of Danville.

You are an important partner in all of these efforts.

Now another of our longtime partners, the Illinois Arts Council, has made deep cuts to the funds it distributes. We were just notified that our share of those cuts will total $100,000 this fiscal year. Since 2006, our annual arts council funding has dropped by more than $280,000. As you can imagine, this latest cut could have a serious impact on the ser-vices we provide.

Despite this reduction in state funding, we’re optimistic about our future. You have our commit-ment that we will do everything we can to protect what, together, we have already achieved and will continue to accomplish. But all of this underscores the increased importance of support from loyal viewers and listeners like you. Please consider re-newing your membership or making an additional gift before the year’s end. One opportunity will be during our Winterfest pledge drive for WILL-TV taking place Nov. 27–Dec. 13. We promise a great line-up of special programs and holiday favorites over the next few weeks.

Our best wishes to you for a healthy, happy holiday season and a bright, prosperous new year!

Leading a literary double lifeAmerican Masters’ Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (8 pm Monday, Dec. 28) sheds new light on the famous author, including her literary double life under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, undis-covered until the 1940s. As Barnard, Alcott penned scandalous, sensational works with characters running the gamut from murderers and revolu-tionaries to cross-dressers and opium addicts—a far cry from her familiar fatherly mentors, courageous mothers and appropriately impish children.

Sculpting beauty

A new documentary, Augustus Saint-Gaudens: Master of American Sculpture,traces the 30-year career of America’s premier sculptor of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Debuting at 9 pm Sunday, Dec. 27, the story of his personal life is woven around in-depth stud-ies of five of his major works of art, including the contempla-tive Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago; the moving Shaw Memorial on Boston Common; the powerful Sherman Monument in Central Park; the serene Diana in the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the stirring Adams Memorial in Washington, D.C.

newsTeachers now implementing Youth Media Workshop programConnecting young people to their communities using media as the hook is a process the Youth Media Workshop (YMW) is now exporting to Champaign public schools.

Since 2003, the YMW has mentored African-American youth and equipped them with audio and video equipment to gather and create authentic stories about their community through interviews with older members of their community.

After five years of teaching African-American students directly, the YMW is now investing in teacher training so that educators can implement this after-school program during the school year. In this way, teachers work directly with students while the YMW team guides and supports the teachers throughout the year.

“We’re able to reach more youth by training teachers to do this work,” said Kimberlie Kranich, co-director of the Youth Media Workshop, “and in doing so, we are inspiring and supporting teachers’ use of media tools to engage students in the classroom.”

YMW projects are being led by Amos Lee and Kim Anderson at Jefferson Middle School; Michelle Bahr and Laurie Jacobson at Edison Middle School; and Whitney Stewart and Josh Wiechert at Franklin Middle School.

The YMW is a collaboration between WILL and William Patterson, associate director of the African American Cultural Center at the University of Illinois, and is supported in part by the Adobe Youth Voices Fund and the Unit 4 Champaign School District. For more information, please visit will.illinois.edu/youthmediaworkshop.

With the success of his The National Parks: America’s Best Idea this year, Ken Burns has once again captured the attention of Americans across the country. Now, nearly 20 years after the debut of his PBS blockbuster, The Civil War, we bring back episode five of the five-part film, The Universe of Battle, to introduce a new generation to the high-est-rated series in PBS history.

At the time, The Washington Post called The Civil War, “heroic television,” and the series went on to win more than 40 major awards, including a Peabody and two Emmys. Using new technology, the entire series has been completely re-mastered to produce a steadier, sharper and cleaner film. Burns and his crew have also improved the sound, re-mix-ing the soundtrack in a two-track stereo version. Catch the selected episode as part of Winterfest programming at 1 pm Saturday, Dec. 5; 7:30 pm Thursday, Dec. 10; and 3 pm Sunday, Dec. 13.

Take a new look at Ken Burns’ The Civil War

Come along with Ray Suarez, senior correspondent for PBS NewsHour, as he reports from the front lines of the effort to combat this year’s H1N1 influenza virus outbreak, along with the science and history of these health crises.

Anatomy of a Pandemic will carefully explore best practices for the U.S. and other world governments when faced with any widespread health emergency, in-cluding the quest to create a potential universal vaccine. The program also examines the impact of pandemics on modern society, contextualizing the current outbreak with those of the past, including the 1918 influenza pan-demic, which caused between 50 and 100 million deaths worldwide. This special airs at 8 pm Monday, Dec. 14.
