If you’ve been to Urbana’s Market at the Square—our area’s largest farmers market—you know that it seems like the entire community attends. The Market is an area jewel—a place where people come together and connect with farmers, their food and with each other. As I neared the end of my tenure as the Market’s director last September and told patrons about my upcoming adventure as Illinois Public Media’s marketing director, they got excited. “Wait—you get to work for our NPR and PBS stations?” one asked. Many of these excited patrons who were once new to our community were thrilled—and maybe a little surprised—to discover our terrific radio, television and online services when they moved to the area. After all, Illinois Public Media’s stations and online venues are places where people come to connect with their communities and the rest of the world, their favorite programs and with each other. No wonder I feel so comfortable here. In October, Illinois Public Media’s development director, Danda Beard, asked me if I’d host a cooking show on WILL-TV during the March television fundraising drive. Would I?! Creating the show these last few months has been a fruitful collaboration between IPM staff, our listeners and viewers, and several members of our community— including two of our area’s best-known chefs, both of whom volunteered to prepare their own dinner recipes on the show. A pair of farmers and a local wine expert round out the guests, bringing even more depth and community connection. We can’t wait for you to see it! More great things are afoot at Illinois Public Media. By the time you read this, a much-refreshed version of our website will have launched. A smartphone and tablet app is in development for our AM and FM stations and should be available by the end of March, if not before. We’ll be out and about much more at local events in the coming months, too— we want to hear from you, and for you to get to know us—our new on-air hosts as well as the staff who keep our operations humming at Campbell Hall. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even see us at the Market.

Join us for what’s cooking and much more
s Family Dinner Favorites host Lisa Bralts (center) will welcome five community cooks, along with Bacaro Restaurant owner/chef Thad Morrow and Prairie Fruits Farm Chef Alisa DeMarco.
We value that the WILL stations bring people together around issues, information and entertainment. So it’s only fitting that we’re now gathering families around food with our WILL-TV production of Come and Get It! Your Family Dinner Favorites at 7 pm Monday, March 4. Big thanks to everyone who submitted more than 100 recipes for the show’s companion cookbook. We’ve selected five cooks who will share with host Lisa Bralts how they prepare their family’s favorite foods. They will be joined by two area chefs and local food providers who will add additional insight into choosing and using locally sourced ingredients, pairing beverages with foods and involving family members in preparing meals. Sharon Crow and her colleagues at Checkered Moon in Champaign are providing tableware and other accessories. Our food professionals include farmers Hans and Katie Bishop of PrairiErth Farm who raise 10 acres of certified organic vegetables for sale locally. They enjoy offering their customers tips about choosing healthy produce. “The most satisfying part of our job is hearing how people are using the vegetables they buy
from us and then having them come back for more the next week,” Hans said. Chef Alisa DeMarco leads the kitchen at Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery where her farm-to-table dinners and breakfasts utilize local and seasonal ingredients. “I enjoy getting to know the farmers, artisans and producers I work with and also forming lasting relationships with our Prairie Fruits patrons,” Alisa commented. Thad Morrow opened Bacaro Restaurant in Champaign in 2001 after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and interning with noted chef Mario Batali. “I strive to deliver superb wine, engaging dishes and an atmosphere that invites the community to learn about great food,” he said. After managing Farren’s in Champaign for 11 years, Todd Fusco now manages the Corkscrew Wine Emporium and Buvons Wine Bar in Urbana. “My job exposes me to pairing an array of beer, wines and spirits with foods, plus the opportunity to meet fascinating people and learn their stories,” Todd said.

Honoring Lincoln
Three years before Steven Spielberg’s recent blockbuster came to the big screen, WILL produced Lincoln: Prelude to the Presidency in celebration of the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth. The documentary features prominent scholars Doris Kearns Goodwin (Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln) and Orville Vernon Burton (The Age of Lincoln), along with re-enactments filmed at historic sites in central Illinois, to show how Lincoln’s formative experiences as a young lawyer on Illinois’ Eighth Judicial Circuit informed his views on the issues he would face as president. The program airs at 7 pm Wednesday, March 6, on WILL-TV.
Join us for Community Cinema Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, Wonder Women! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation. Attend a free screening of the film and a follow-up discussion at 6 pm Tuesday, March 12, at the Champaign Public Library.
Rick Steves in C-U We start the month with a new Rick Steves special, Symphonic Journey (8 pm Friday, March 1) as the veteran traveler and program host teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra for a musical journey that begins in the United States and touches down in seven different European countries. Steves uses his extensive knowledge of European history to offer context for music by composers including Grieg, Smetana, Strauss, Berlioz, Elgar, Wagner and Verdi. Then at 6 pm Thursday, March 14, at the I Hotel in Champaign, Steves shares his tips and tidbits gleaned from 30 years of globetrotting at a special fundraising event for WILL. General admission tickets at $35 each are still available by calling Tracy Wikoff at 217-333-7300.
Beginning at 8:30 pm that evening, we debut two more new specials. In the first, Delicious Europe, Steves savors classic European cuisine—from garlicky snails, handmade mozzarella and gourmet tapas to savory bouillabaisse, hearty wurst, fresh fish and other regional specialties. It’s followed at 9 pm by Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Skills as Steves reveals his tips for planning an itinerary, hurdling the language barrier, driving rental cars and catching trains, avoiding scams, eating well, sleeping smart, staying safe and other information needed to turn travel dreams into reality. As his schedule allows following the public talk at the I Hotel, Steves plans to drop by the WILL-TV studio to offer in-person insight during our pledge breaks.

Danda Beard says her good feeling about the future of the WILL stations comes from personally getting to know Friends of WILL who have been giving every year since she began working at the station 23 years ago. “We know they’re with us,” she said. “They continue to feel the station is part of their lives and they continue to support us.” As major gifts director for the past 12 years, Danda spent time talking to people who use WILL’s services and support it financially. “I got to hear how important public media is to the people who support us,” she said. Now, as new development director for the stations, she’s still raising funds for Illinois Public Media, but with broader responsibilities. “I’ll get to help create the vision and strategy for equipping our stations for the 21st century and setting a foundation for the stations’ solid financial future,” she said. “I’ll be working with other managers to further diversify sources of funding and find new ways to support programs and services at the station.” For the time being, Danda will continue to be the primary staff member working with long-term donors in the Leadership and Vision Circles. “We hope to fill that
Having been at WILL for so many years, Danda said she values more than ever the Friends of WILL who have been giving for a long time. “We have an unusually large percentage of donors who have been giving 20 or 30 years,” she said. “I’m especially grateful that people year after year keep WILL in their charitable giving plans and make gifts that leave a legacy for public broadcasting.” Danda said the stations have a great start on raising funds this fiscal year. “It’s remarkable that the Friends of WILL made contributions that totaled more than $1 million by Dec. 31. It bodes well for the second half of the fiscal year. We have a goal of at least $2.1 million to help us pay for programming for next year.” Danda has been serving as interim development director since last March. Illinois Public Media General Manager Mark Leonard said that during this period Danda further demonstrated her broad fundraising and managerial skills. “She is the perfect choice to lead our awardwinning development department, as well as to develop a long-range funding strategy for supporting the content and equipment needs for Illinois Public Media’s future,” he said.

After 23 years at Illinois Public Media, including 15 as WILLTV’s program director, last December my duties expanded to include our AM and FM radio stations. As IPM’s content director, I’ll be working closely with our FM hosts and making sure that they have what they need to continue a first-class classical music service. For AM, I’ll be coordinating with our news staff on that station’s overall program schedule.

Our radio stations had been without their own program directors for years. I suspect that most listeners never noticed. Still, it was felt that AM and especially FM could benefit from having someone who could deal more closely with programming issues. This management change is part of a larger strategy of strengthening the ties between our radio and television services.

I’ve got a lot to learn. My background is in television, and while public TV and radio cover many of the same subject areas, they’re quite different in how they operate. I’ve dabbled in radio in the past during pledge drives and as an occasional fill-in host for Focus, but most of it is new to me.

By the time you read this, I’ll have been in this new position for several months. Radio listeners shouldn’t have encountered any major changes in our program schedule. Going forward I do want to expand the depth and breadth of our offerings, and I’ll greatly value your suggestions and advice. I hope that you’ll contact me!

All-Day Ag Outlook Meeting 2013
focuses on profitability A farm in central Iowa recently sold at auction for $17,000 an acre, even though the land had no commercial value. “It would take a producer 10 years or more to get back that investment growing corn and beans,” said WILL agricultural programming director Dave Dickey. “But there’s pent up money on the sidelines looking for farmland to invest in.” Keynote speaker Murray Wise, of Murray Wise Associates in Champaign, will address these issues at the 2013 Illinois Public Media All-Day Agricultural Outlook Meeting Tuesday, March 5, at the Beef House in Covington, Ind. Dave said he’s expecting another sold-out crowd from across Illinois and Indiana for the meeting.

Anderson of Illinois Livestock Development Group in Bloomington, will talk about livestock opportunities. “The Changing Southern Farm Landscape” is the third keynote topic. John Bondurant of Bondurant Futures Inc., Memphis, Tenn., will talk about how many farmers in the Southern U.S. are planting corn and soybeans on much of their acreage formerly devoted to cotton. “This is of interest to producers in the Midwest because if a lot more soybeans and corn are grown in the South, it has the potential to influence prices,” Dave said. Because the U.S. corn harvest in the past three years has not reached average yields, it’s important for producers to know how to market their crop. “With ending stocks being so small, there is no margin for error in growing the 2013 crop. We hope to talk about the realities and bring concrete strategies for marketing that producers can use with their brokers or elevators,” Dave said.
