patternsSharing remembrances and conversations By Mark Leonard General Manager

This month marks a water-shed anniversary in our na-tion’s history. It has been 10 years since the tragic terror-

ist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. We all have powerful memories of that fateful day. We will be sharing some of those recollections through our special programming on AM 580, FM 90.9, and WILL television in the week leading up to and on Sept. 11, 2011. Public media seeks to provide in-sight, compassion, perspective and context. As we look back on the events of 9/11, I hope that we can bring some of these values to the public con-versation. What have we learned since then? How has it changed us? Where do we go from here? I hope you join us for remembrances, commentary and music as we reflect on a day still etched in our collective memory.

For about two years, WILL has been convening small groups of citizens from throughout our re-gion for conversations to discuss issues and ideas that affect their communities. We’ve received input from you about what matters, what you are concerned about and what you value. This helps us shape our news reporting, features and program productions. Perhaps you heard our Life on Route 150 series—these special programs were a direct outgrowth of our listening sessions, helping to better tell the stories of our region.

We are a community resource, a sounding board, a content creator and, hopefully, a trusted friend. Our loyalty is to you, not to advertisers. Our pro-grams are selected because of their importance, not their ability to attract the largest audience. We remain a unique institution in the media landscape, and one that routinely has its future relevance questioned. Threats to funding con-tinue, so we will continue to earn your trust and your support every day. We need it now more than ever. As a trusted friend, please feel free to question and challenge us when you feel we are adrift. At the same time, we hope you understand that change will be essential as we adapt to tech-nology innovations and changing viewer/listener habits.

And if you ever want to have a face to face con-versation with us, we’re always willing to come to your town to talk!

PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2011 1

On the Sunday anniversary, tune in at 7:46 am for a live broadcast of the University of Illinois Black Chorus memorial concert on WILL-FM 101.1 and 90.9 HD2. The chorus, under the direction of Ollie Watts Davis, begins its 12-minute performance at the time the first hijacked jetliner crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The U of I School of Music concert at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts is an annual event.

From 7 am to 5 pm on WILL-AM 580, NPR News will capture the events of the anni-versary from Ground Zero to the Pentagon to Shanksville and beyond, looking at how America has changed since Sept. 11. NPR coverage airs from 7-9 am and 4-5 pm on FM 90.9.

On WILL-TV, the PBS NewsHour plans a special retrospective, America Remembers 9/11 at 7 pm, including highlights from the day’s memorial events and interviews with

people personally affected by the tragedy. At 8 pm, Great Performances presents The New York Philharmonic 10th Anniversary Concert for 9/11, a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection,” in honor of the Sept. 11 victims, in a free concert for the people of New York. The concert also will be featured at 7 pm Tuesday, Sept. 20, on The Evening Concert on WILL-FM 90.9.

In the week leading up to the anniversary, Illinois Public Media News reporters will bring you stories on how 9/11 continues to affect people in central Illinois. Stories they’re working on include a follow-up with Muslims we interviewed just after 9/11 when they felt the burden of the attacks even as they were horrified by them; a look at how 9/11 is being taught in central Illinois classrooms, especially for children who are too young to remember it; and a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Grove inside Champaign County’s River Bend Forest Preserve, where we’ll gauge if our memori-als withstand the test of fading memories. The reports will air on Morning Edition and The Afternoon Magazine, and will be archived online at will.illinois.edu.

A special day of programming on WILL radio, television and online will observe the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and examine how individual lives and the nation have changed since that day.

Exploring 9/11 issues of the last decadeIn the week leading up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Frontline: Top Secret America at 8 pm Tuesday, Sept. 6, examines how a decade of fighting terrorism—from the creation of “black site” prisons abroad and super-secret facilities here in America, to tar-geted killings and covert wars waged by special forces—has reshaped the country and whether it has made us safer.

NOVA: Engineering Ground Zero at 8 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7, follows the five-year con-struction of One World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Mu-seum. NOVA captures the behind-the-scenes struggle to make the buildings safe and secure under the pressures of a tight schedule and the public’s expectations of a fitting site for national remembrance.

Frontline repeats its critically acclaimed film Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero at 9 pm Wednesday, Sept. 7, exploring how peoples’ beliefs—and unbelief—have been challenged since Sept. 11.

After the anniversary, at 8 pm Tuesday, Sept. 13, Frontline presents The Man Behind the Mosque, about the most controversial building in America, a mostly derelict property in lower Manhattan made infamous overnight as the Ground Zero Mosque. Frontline tells the inside story of real estate developer Sharif El-Gamal, and of the victims’ relatives and anti-Islam activists who helped turn his project into a continuing battle over faith, values and the meaning of being American.

Albert Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic celebrate the open-ing night of the 2011-2012 season in Live from Lincoln Center: New York Philharmonic Opening Night Gala Concert (7 pm Wednesday, Sept. 21, WILL-TV). Celebrated soprano Deborah Voigt is on hand for an evening of music by Barber, Wagner and Richard Strauss. Voigt and the Philharmonic close the evening with the “Intermezzo,” “Dance,” and “Final Scene” from Strauss’ Salome.

It’s opening night


The Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand and Foreigner on the same weekendThe Bee Gees: One Night Only (10 pm Friday, Sept. 16, WILL-TV) showcases the group’s 1997 concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, featuring many of their greatest hits.

Then at 8:40 pm Saturday, Sept. 17, on WILL-TV, don’t miss Barbra Streisand—One Night Only at the Village Vanguard. The inti-mate setting of this iconic 1960s club was the setting for a rare and very personal concert by Streisand in September 2009 when she performed the biggest hits from throughout her half-century career.

At 11:30 pm that night on WILL-TV, a new public television special celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of Foreigner 4. Filmed in March 2011 at the historic, Chicago-area Arcada Theatre, Foreigner: Live in Chicago features songs from the multi-million-selling iconic album and many of the group’s other hits.

Program updates on Need to Know and This Old House Hour

Need to Know, part of the Friday Night Public Affairs lineup on WILL-TV, becomes a half-hour show with the Sept. 16 pro-gram. Also, beginning this month, This Old House Hour will air only at 4:30 pm Saturdays.

It’s opening night

The new fiscal year is in full swing, complete with your first opportunity to show support for programs on WILL-TV. Our September fund-raising drive will take place Sept. 3-5 (Labor Day weekend) and Thursday, Sept. 15, to Sun-day, Sept. 18. As always, we’re offering great concerts you can enjoy from your front-row seat at home. We’ve listed a few highlights, but check the TV listings for more programs.

Celebrating a life dedicated to justiceCruz Reynoso: Sowing the Seeds of Justice (9 pm Monday, Sept. 19) paints a portrait of a man, touched by injustice as a child, who dedicated his life to fighting discrimination and inequality as a lawyer, judge and teacher. The compelling biography, told through a combination of archival footage and interviews, charts Cruz Reynoso’s humble origins, his appointment to the California Supreme Court (the first Latino justice to serve in the state’s highest court) and more recently, his leadership on the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Settled by Spanish conquistadors in 1598, the Española Valley of northern New Mexico boasts a rich cultural past evident in its music, art and way of life. Now, chang-ing demographics, along with a shift in the local economy, have left many residents without land, water and a sense of identity. State of the Re:Union travels to the area to discover what the rest of the country can learn from this still vital region of the American Southwest, including ancient wa-ter distribution methods. This report airs at 10 am Monday, Sept. 5.

Then at 11 am, don’t miss a broadcast from a July 10 meeting in Rantoul on Illinois Migrant Workers and Food Insecurity. This listening session was one of eight through-out the state sponsored by the Illinois Commission to End Hunger. Illinois Public Media first became involved with calling

attention to hunger as a community need in 2009 and has offered regular reports since then.

FM will broadcast 9/11 remembrance concerts

From 7-9 pm Sunday, Sept. 11, WILL-FM 90.9 will broadcast a 9/11 Anniversary Concert, presenting the New York Philhar-monic’s recording of John Adams’ On the Transmigration of Souls, a 25-minute work commissioned in 2001 by the orchestra to mark the first anniversary of 9/11 (recorded in 2004 for Nonesuch, CD 79816-2). The broadcast also includes a New York Philhar-monic recording of Brahms’ German Requiem. From 7-9 pm Sunday, Sept. 20, WILL-FM 90.9 will broadcast The New York Philharmonic 10th Anniversary Concert for 9/11, recorded in New York City on Sept. 10, 2011, with a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection.”

Longtime educator inspires memorial gift With the start of the traditional school year, thoughts turn to memories of those educators whose dedicated guidance shaped our lives. Gilbert Apfelstadt was undoubtedly in that special category of teachers after devoting 36 years to elementary school students in Indiana.

Following his death in March, Gilbert’s three sons—Gary, Marc and Eric—chose to honor their dad with a memorial gift to WILL on Father’s Day weekend.

Known as “Mr. A” to his students, Gilbert spent the first 14 years of his career in both the classroom and administration of schools in and around Logansport, Ind.

He then served 22 years as an instrumental music teacher at Lincoln, Vogel and Oak Hill schools in his native Evansville. He was enthusiastic about history, archeology, gardening, creating stained glass and fly-fishing. In addition, he was keenly interested in news, politics, world affairs, sports and his family.

Gary, an Urbana Middle School teacher, regards WILL AM, FM and TV as valuable companions first discovered when he moved to Urbana 35 years ago to attend graduate school at the University of Illinois. Among his current favorites are the “truly inspiring programs” of From the Top (1 pm Sundays, WILL-FM). Marc, a retired systems engineer, is also a U of I alum, earning a master’s degree in music performance, as well as a doctorate of musical arts from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Eric is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at St. Martin’s University in Lacey, Wash. He received master’s and doctorate degrees from Princeton University.

“Our gift was an opportunity to honor the high value and quality of work in fine arts, insightful entertainment and current world events championed by both WILL and my dad,” Gary explained.

“I realized what a depth of musical performance and appreciation my parents provided for our family, church and among those touched in their careers. In the same way, I recognize the tremendous value of programs and community outreach provided by WILL.”

6 pm Tuesday, Sept. 6, in Robeson Rooms A & B of the Champaign Public Library, which is partnering with Illinois Public Media to present the 10-film Community Cinema series.

“These great films from PBS are available to Illinois Public Media,” said Kimberlie Kranich, director of community

engagement at IPM. “We want to not just air them on television, but bring people together to watch them and discuss the local issues they raise. That way we’re learning from each other and reflecting back to the community what we learn.”

Listen to audio of discussions from last year’s Community Cinema screenings at IPM’s WILL Connect website: willconnect.org/projects/cinema/.

Other upcoming films include Deaf Jam in October about deaf teens stepping into the world of the youth poetry slams with their hearing peers, and We Still Live Here (Âs Nutayuneân) about the return of the Wampanoag language, the first time a language with no native speakers has been revived in this country.

Each of the 10 films will also air on WILL-TV after the screenings as part of the Independent Lens series. Pray the Devil Back to Hell airs in October.

t Liberian women demonstrate at the American Embassy in Monrovia at the height of the civil war in July 2003.

New Community Cinema screeningsIllinois Public Media kicks off the 2011-2012 season of its monthly Community Cinema series this month with Pray the Devil Back to Hell, chronicling the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country.

Thousands of women—both Christian and Muslim—came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about an agreement during the stalled peace talks. Inspiring, uplifting and motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

A free screening of the film and a discussion of issues it raises will be held at


A special concert for Friends of WILLRonny Cox (above), known for his roles in more than 125 films and television shows, has been a singer-songwriter for more than four decades. In fact, his first movie role was as the guitarist in the famous dueling banjos scene in Deliverance. More recently, he’s been a musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as Mountain Stage and etown on NPR.

Save the date for Cox’s intimate concert for Friends of WILL in Campbell Hall at 7:30 pm Monday, Nov. 7. Other event details, including how to get tickets, are coming in October Patterns and online.

“I’m interested in weaving a tapestry of songs and stories with an overall arc that eventually comes together and tells something about the human condition,” Cox said.

His most recent album, Songs with Repercussions, climbed to the top spot of the Folk DJ list in summer 2009. He released his first recording, a collection of country music, in 1993 and followed it with Acoustic Eclectricity. Cowboy Savant, produced by Wendy Waldman, came a short time later and was followed by Ronny Cox Live and At the Sabastiani. How I Love Them Old Songs, released in 2007 and re-released last year, is Cox’s tribute to Texas songwriter Mickey Newbury. Learn more at his website: www.ronnycox.com.
