patternsWe can never thank you enough

By George Hauenstein, Director of Development

Thanks for your support of WILL over the past weeks, months and years. Financial contributions from supporters like you continue to make what we do possible.

Your dollars help us bring you the national programming staples you depend on from PBS and NPR, as well as an impressive list of recent local productions such as Red Grange Remembers, Illinois Pioneers, A Cappella Beatdown Live, Live and Local, gubernatorial debates and more. Our Web site, will.illinois.edu, is among the most-visited sites in the system, with program downloads and podcast usage in the tens of thousands every month. The recent addition of the PBS/WILL Video Player will increase Web site traffic even more. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? It’s truly impressive and allows you to watch your favorite PBS show on your schedule.

Because of your ongoing trust and support, WILL is one of the most vibrant public media institutions in the country. Despite state funding cuts and other recent setbacks, impressive and cutting-edge work continues at our stations. We hope you feel a sense of pride in these efforts.

We are in the final weeks of our fiscal year. We must raise $500,000 by June 30 to hit our viewer and listener goal of $2.1 million. In the current financial climate, it’s going to be a real stretch to hit our target this year. By comparison, last year at this time, we needed to raise $330,000.

As we do every June, we come to you and ask for your continued generosity. When you receive our direct mail letter, please return it with your renewed support or additional gift. Or when you see or hear something you enjoy, you can phone in at 800-898-1065 or contribute online at willpledge.org.

Times are tough for many in our community, perhaps for you as well. But if you depend on WILL, rest assured that we will be here to serve you. We’ve had to cut our budget, but we haven’t decreased our commitment to you.

It’s been 40 years since Carole King and James Taylor first played together at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Calif. Now these two legends share the stage once again at the famed music club in a new PBS special airing at 9 pm Wednesday, June 2, on WILL-TV.

At the time of their first meeting, Taylor had just released his debut album and King was finding her way as a solo performer, even though she was a famous songwriter with a string of hits for other artists. Just a year later, Taylor’s Fire and Rain was topping the charts and King’s Tapestry album was on its way to making her a music superstar.

When the two reunited in November 2007, along with members of their renowned original band (featuring guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Russell Kunkel) for a six-show run to celebrate the venue’s 50th anniversary, the result was Carole King-James Taylor: Live at the Troubadour. Captured in sterling 5.1 audio and high definition video, this program features performances of the pair’s most beloved hits, including King’s “So Far Away,” “It’s Too Late” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” as well as Taylor’s “Carolina in My Mind,” “Sweet Baby James” and “Fire and Rain.”

The golden age of Champaign-Urbana journalism may have been around 1900 when there were as many as seven local newspapers, including four dailies—The Daily Gazette, Daily News, Courier and Illini.

Radio and television brought a different kind of journalism to the area. In this month’s episode of Illinois Pioneers airing at 7:30 pm Thursday, June 24, John Paul and his guests discuss the history of newspapers, radio and television in Champaign County. Tom Kacich of the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette and Doug Quick, local weather broadcaster and broadcast historian, join him to talk about the days when newspapers had competition and broadcasting was new and experimental.

They’re back together where it all began

A look back at media history on

“When you look at the history of any community, the way people stayed informed was by reading newspapers and then by also listening to radio and watching television,” said John. “That’s why it’s important to include the history of the media in our series.”

“Doug is really passionate about trying to preserve radio and TV history, and Tom wrote Hot Type, covering 150 years of the News-Gazette’s articles,” said John. “I think they’ll have some great stories to tell.”

The reunion event was the inspiration for the artists’ current Troubadour Reunion world tour, which visited Australia, New Zealand and Japan before coming to the U.S. in May. King and Taylor remain on tour until mid-July.

Guessing the singer of an opera aria can be difficult, unless the singer has one of the most famous voices of the decade, or the century. What is that special quality of a voice that makes it stay in our memory? On the other hand, why are some distinguished singers hard to identify? By the way, on the Met’s Opera Quiz, the mystery singer questions are the most dreaded by members of the panel.

During this year’s Opera Gala, scheduled for 1 pm Saturday, June 26, John Frayne and Roger Cooper will play some mystery voices and ask the

audience to guess the singer. John and Roger promise that they will begin with some of the top names on the opera stage, and their aim is to prove that we all know much more about famous voices than we think we do. But whether we guess right or not, the point is to enjoy the splendid singing of great melodies, whether the mystery singer is Maria Callas or Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti or Placido Domingo.

And as usual, you’re invited to call in requests of your favorite singers, whether or not they have a “mystery” voice.

Opera Gala returns!

Welcome summer with great concerts

4Troops is a new pop vocal group made up of United States combat veterans who served on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their concert special, 4Troops: Live from the USS Intrepid, features “Amazing Grace” and “You Raise Me Up,” as well as the group’s own “For Freedom.” The program airs at 7 pm Tuesday, June 1.

Then at 8:50 pm Friday, June 4, Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City captures the famed rocker at opening concerts for New York’s Citi Field in July 2009, featuring songs from the Beatles, Wings and McCartney’s solo career.

Next, master documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman captures the Paris Opera Ballet for Great Performances in La Danse: Le Ballet de L’Opera de Paris (8 pm Wednesday, June 16). This new behind-the-scenes look includes rehearsals and performances for seven ballets: Genus, Paquita, The Nutcracker, Medea, The House of Bernarda Alba, Romeo and Juliet and Orpheus and Eurydyce.

At 7 pm Wednesday, June 23, enjoy America’s Orchestra: Celebrating the 125 Years of the Boston Pops, featuring interviews with and/or performances by Audra McDonald, Kristin

A panel of experts will join WILL-AM’s Legal Issues in the News in July. We’ll have more details on our cast of legal authorities in next month’s Patterns.

“Having a group of individuals with specialized legal knowledge will allow us to explore topics in greater depthincreasingly important in light of the emerging complexity of the law in a multitude of areas,” said Jay Pearce, director of created content for Illinois Public Media.

During June, the best of Amy Gajda’s Legal Issues commentaries will continue to air at the program’s usual time of 7:35 am each Monday.

After 14 years in Champaign-Urbana, Gajda is relocating to New Orleans, where she will join the Tulane Law School faculty as an associate professor, teaching torts and information privacy. Her husband, David Meyer, has accepted a position as dean of Tulane’s law school.

“I’ve gotten so much both from the enjoyment of putting commentaries together and from connecting with WILL listeners,” Gajda said. “I will miss it tremendously.”

She began her commentaries in 1998, earning seven Associated Press awards for best editorial commentary.

America’s top gumshoes are back to prove once again that an object found in an attic or backyard might be anything but ordinary. The season premiere at 8 pm Monday, June 21, explores the excitement, promise and ingenuity that fueled America’s foray into space exploration. First, detective Tukufu Zuberi tracks a scrap of metallic Mylar; Gwendolyn Wright investigates the notion that Andy Warhol’s art may be on the moon; and Elyse Luray tries on what might be one of the first prototypes for a NASA space boot.

Then, at 8 pm Monday, June 28, detective Eduardo Pagán investigates the history of a hand-drawn map found during the battle of Iwo Jima; Wes Cowan follows the story of a snake-topped cane with ties to the anti-Abraham Lincoln group, the “Peace Democrats”; and Elyse Luray traces the origins of the Theremin—one of the first electronic musical instruments—and finds out if a New Mexico man owns one of the fewer than a dozen Theremins in the U.S. built by Leon Theremin himself.

Paying tribute to

fathersFollowing last month’s Mother’s Day concert special, it’s only fair to include fathers, too. Don’t miss our Father’s Day Concert, a one-hour program of classical music about the joys and trials of fatherhood, airing at 5 pm Sunday, June 20. This WILL-FM special is produced by Roger Cooper and Jake Schumacher.

Classical music lovers will have the opportunity to start their mornings listening to the music they love when WILL Radio launches a 24-hour music channel in mid-June.

The new channel will air the C-24 classical music service, along with WILL-FM’s locally produced music shows Live and Local and Classic Mornings on weekdays, Prairie Performances on Friday nights, and Classics by Request and Classics of the Phonograph on Saturday mornings. The local shows will air at the same time they air on the primary channel, FM 90.9 (see pages 4-5).

How do you find the music? If you live in the Champaign-Urbana area, tune to WILL-FM 101.1. If you live outside of Champaign-Urbana, you will need

Wake up to classical music!New stream set to debut

an HD Radio to receive the signal, which can be heard about 32 miles in each direction from the Monticello transmitter. Turn your HD Radio to FM 90.9. After a brief delay, the radio will pull in the HD1 signal (a simulcast of FM 90.9.) To hear the new music stream, dial the radio up to HD2. If you have any questions, give us a call.

Station Manager Kate Dobrovolny said that

WILL is able to launch the new service inexpensively since WILL-FM already uses the C-24 classical music service on its primary channel, and the station already transmits digital signals.

WILL-FM HD3 will continue to simulcast AM 580’s news and information programming.

Travel a road paved with good intentionsSocial entrepreneurship is the radi-cal idea of ending global poverty by charging poor people for goods and services. Touted as the new alternative to charity, proponents view the trend as a sustainable way to help those in need. The New Recruits follows three young, well-meaning business students as they learn to sell drip irrigation in Pakistan, LED lights in India and toilet service in Kenya.

St. Louis influences soccer On June 12, the United States and England will meet in a highly anticipated World Cup match in South Africa. The two teams last played in June of 1950, when the U.S. defeated the English club in one of the great upsets in sports history. Five of the starters on that championship team hailed from the working-class — and predominantly Roman Catholic — neighborhoods of St. Louis.

A Time for Champions (9 pm Thursday, June 10) charts the influence of St. Louis’ immigrant community, amateur leagues and college teams, particularly St. Louis University, on the development and in-creased popularity of soccer in the U.S.

membership news & events

This spring, a few WILL staff hit the road to meet with viewers, listeners and Friends of WILL. General manager Mark Leonard, station manager Kate Dobrovolny, development director George Hauenstein and TV program director David Thiel headed to area restaurants to talk with our listeners and viewers on whatever is important to them about their public media stations.

In St. Joseph, we talked about the strength of the WILL-AM signal, and PBS’ commitment to national news series and drama and mystery on Masterpiece. In Decatur, David Thiel talked with viewers about a small treasure in the Sunday night TV schedule called Classical Destinations.

NPR’s Car Talk recently launched the Driver Distraction Center, an online resource hub to promote safety behind

the wheel.

The program’s hosts, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, are spreading the word that talking on the phone—even hands free—has been

proven to be as dangerous as driving with a blood alcohol level of .08, which qualifies as drunk driving in every American state. In addition, driver distraction is now the cause of at least one out of every three accidents and fatalities on the roadway.

At the Center’s Web site, http://cartalk.com/ddc, you can take a quiz to check your own driving habits, test a driving simulator and learn about the work of the University of Utah Applied Cognition Laboratory, which for the last decade has been measuring

brain activity and using neuroimaging technology to understand the cognitive neuroscience of driver distraction.

There is also a blog and a discussion board so that you can join the dialogue with Tom and Ray.

We took questions from listeners who were concerned and wanted to know more about our recent programming changes. In Normal, we talked with viewers and listeners about travel and public affairs. We heard how important it is to have the kind of international programming a public broadcasting service can bring to small towns in central Illinois. Farmers, teachers, medical professionals, scientists and more joined us for our After Hours events during April and May.

“We’re grateful for the time these individuals took to meet with us and share their views about what makes WILL special for them,” said Mark.

Come travel with WILLConsider joining the Friends of WILL for one or both of a pair of adventures planned for later this year: an opera tour of Santa Fe and a Costa Rica trip for nature lovers which includes visits to three nature preserves.

The opera tour, Aug. 1-6, with WILL-FM host John Frayne, includes prime tickets to Puccini’s Madame Butterfly and Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the Santa Fe Opera in a glorious, partially outdoor setting; excursions to cliff dwellings; a private tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s home in Abiquiu, N.M.; and a concert at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. For more information, visit will.illinois.edu/site/headline/visit-santa-fe-with-will-for-opera-and-more/.

The Costa Rica trip, Nov. 5-13, will take travelers beyond San Jose, Costa Rica’s colorful capital city to discover the nation’s spectacular flora and fauna, geological wonders, and tropical forest ecology.

Participants will learn about the unique flavors and processing techniques at a coffee plantation, enjoy a discussion on the geology of Costa Rica’s active and dormant volcanoes and learn about Costa Rica’s varied forest environments. WILL development director George Hauenstein and University of Illinois geology professor Steve Marshak will accompany the group in addition to local experts. For more information, visit www.tourgrouppro.com/will/.

Long before first lady Michelle Obama began advocating to address childhood obesity, a local group, initiated by Illinois Public Media (IPM), started tackling the problem in Champaign-Urbana.

The group, C-U Fit Families, is now expanding their impact, spurred by an April meeting with community leaders. Among those attending were state representative Naomi Jakobsson (right); Urbana mayor Laurel Prussing, U of I interim vice chancellor for public engagement Steve Sonka and C-U Public Health District administrator Julie Pryde.

IPM educational outreach director Molly Delaney and TV program director David Thiel facilitated a roundtable discussion that solicited input on three key questions:

• What would a community look like where children are healthy and obesity is no longer a problem?

• What aspirations do you have for local children’s health?

• Where do you see this group focusing community attention and how do you see your organization being involved?

In addition to vibrant conversations on these issues, two presentations made an impact.

Dr. Napoleon Knight, vice president and associate director of quality for Carle Foundation Hospital, related his recent experience in caring for a child who weighed 300 pounds.

“Something that starts this young is very, very difficult to change,” Knight said. “Children can’t do it themselves. Adults are going to have to help them.”

Barbara Fiese, director of the U of I Family Resiliency Center, commented on research that suggests sharing family meals together, and turning off the

television during the meal, promotes healthier eating habits.

C-U Fit Families is focused on four areas—active living, food advertising and marketing, shared family meals and access to healthful foods at home and at school. The group is now looking at how it can support such things as the availability of safe places for children to play, safe routes for them to walk or bike to school, access to fresh produce and healthy choices for meals, the affordability of such foods, limiting TV time, understanding food marketing that targets children, promoting shared family meal times and adults modeling healthful eating habits.

More information on C-U Fit Families is available at its Web site, http://frc.illinois.edu/c-ufitfamilies.htm.
