The first lady of volunteering

HEN ISABEL YATES first arrived in Lexington with her family in 1963, it wasn’t long before she rolled up her sleeves and got busy doing what she loves best: volunteering for civic organizations.

“It’s a good thing I like it because the pay is miserable,” Yates said with a laugh. “But I love working with people. And I think people who volunteer make the world go ‘round.”

Even at age 94, Yates continues to be a civic tour-de-force. Dubbed “the first lady of all things Lexington” by a former mayor, Yates has spearheaded countless projects in the city over the years.

“I believe everyone should be interested in the place where they live,” said Yates, who served on the city council from 1991 to 2002. “They should try to make it a little bit better off than when they found it.”

It’s why, she says, she’s always been a supporter of KET from its early days when O. Leonard Press established the network, looking to provide equitable access to high-quality instruction in schools throughout the Commonwealth.

Yates has helped with KET’s fundraising efforts, serving as co-chair of KET’s first Summer Celebration event in 1989. She’s happy to do it, she says, because she knows a valuable resource when she sees one.

“Education is the key to a good life and to a good community,” Yates said. “And KET has been one of the most valuable educational resources for the whole state. It’s made a big difference for a lot of people, and I think we would be poorer without it.”

She’s also a fan of KET’s programming, gravitating to KET’s public affairs series, such as Kentucky

“KET has been one of the most valuable educational resources for the whole state. It’s made a big difference for a lot of people, and I think we would be poorer without it.”

Tonight and Comment on Kentucky, which she says help residents stay informed about their home state. And she prizes KET’s children’s programming, recalling the days when her children watched Sesame Street and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which she says helped nurture their young minds and prepare them for their school years.

“KET is an educational resource in so many ways — and education, at least to me, is the answer to so much of life and what we can accomplish,” Yates says. “It plays a large role in determining how far we can go.”

The daughter of a physician in a small town in South Carolina, Yates says her civic instincts stem from her formative years watching her father, who shared her inclination for public service. He chaired the local school board and rotary club and continually worked to improve their community.

“That’s my model,” Yates said.

“He had a saying he liked to tell me: ‘You better be proud of the place where you live, and you should live so the place is proud of you.’”

August is a very exciting month – from the start of school to the national debut of KET’s new documentary on bluegrass music.

The musical genre, born in Kentucky and shared with the world, has a unique place in American history and culture, and we’re proud to showcase its story.

Big Family: The Story of Bluegrass Music will put a spotlight on our Commonwealth when the program premieres on PBS stations throughout the United States at the end of the month.

As students head back to the classroom for the new school year, KET continues to support learning and achievement. Hundreds of engaging instructional resources, developed by KET for PBS LearningMedia, are used in every Kentucky public school and in classrooms across the country.

And also this month, we hope you enjoy the great programs – including two new specials on Downton Abbey – that are part of the KET Summer Spectacular. This on-air support opportunity, which moves a week of our annual March TeleFund to August, is our most direct way of inviting viewers like you who value KET programs and services the most to help support the $3 million annual cost to purchase programming from PBS and other sources.

Thank you for helping to make it all possible!

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins

FAMILY NATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FROM KET EXPLORES THE RISE OF THE AMERICAN ART FORM

luegrass music may owe its beginnings to a family’s attempt to quiet a rambunctious child.

Bill Monroe, the youngest of eight children growing up in a musical family in the small western Kentucky town of Rosine, loved making a racket on the household’s instruments. Hoping to dampen his output, his parents placed into his hands a mandolin with half its strings missing.

And the rest is history.

Monroe, his trusty mandolin in tow, went on to found Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, changing the landscape of American roots music and earning himself the moniker of the “Father of Bluegrass.”

Monroe’s rise to fame — and how his music made its way into the heart of American popular culture and

across the world — is the subject of Big Family: The Story of Bluegrass Music, a new KET documentary that airs nationwide on PBS this month.

The film, narrated by actor and bluegrass enthusiast Ed Helms, traces the genre’s musical history, from its beginnings with Scots-Irish and African-American influences to its embrace by popular culture, from the theme to The Beverly Hillbillies to the soundtrack of the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

At the heart of the documentary is the music itself, as vintage and modern recordings and performance footage showcase the evolution of its singular sound.

More than 50 of bluegrass’ most influential musicians — Ricky Skaggs, Alison Brown, Del McCoury, J.D. Crowe, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Chris Thile, Bobby Osborne and more — share their

music and their stories about how the genre ultimately spawned a new American art form.

The documentary travels from Kentucky’s long-running Festival of the Bluegrass to downtown Tokyo, where members of Bluegrass 45 — a popular Japanese bluegrass band — demonstrate how the music transcends not only generations but cultural and geographic boundaries, as well.

The film also explores the role of women in bluegrass and shows how musicians work together to create what Berklee College of Music’s Darol Anger calls “a magical, huge, powerful sound.”

KET Monday, August 12 • 9/8 pm KET2 Thursday, August 15 • 9/8 pm

Join KET’s Renee Shaw for exclusive coverage of Fancy Farm, the annual politicking picnic widely viewed as the kickoff to the fall election season. Filmed from the grounds of St. Jerome’s Catholic Church in Fancy Farm, Ky., coverage will feature the day’s speeches, as well as analysis from Shaw and a panel of special guests. In addition, Comment on Kentucky will air live from the picnic on Aug. 2 at 8/7 pm on KET. And a highlights program will air Aug. 5 at 8/7 pm.

In August 1969, half a million young people from all walks of life journeyed to a dairy farm in upstate New York for a concert that became a touchstone for a generation. This new film examines the tumultuous decade that led to those three historic days — years that saw the nation deeply divided by Vietnam and racial, generational and sexual politics — through the voices of those who were present for the event that would become the defining moment of the counterculture revolution.

Over the past decade, the number of Kentuckians ages 10 to 24 years old who took their own lives increased by 35 percent. This KET forum explores the alarming rise in youth suicide, examining its root causes and highlighting the most effective strategies for prevention. Host Renee Shaw, joined by a panel of experts who work on the front lines of suicide prevention and education, will explore the underlying causes of this phenomenon and what can be done to stem the tide.

Join KET in Ashland on Tuesday, Aug. 20; Bowling Green on Monday, Aug. 26; and Somerset on Thursday, Aug. 29 for a sneak peek at the film and a chance to share why you love country music.

Country Music explores the remarkable stories of the people and places behind a true American art form in an eightpart documentary airing multiple nights on KET. For more information, including times, locations and to register, visit KET.org/events.

Community conversation explores role of education in prison KET recently welcomed acclaimed film director Lynn Novick, a frequent collaborator with Ken Burns, to Louisville to speak about her new documentary, College Behind Bars, during a panel discussion at the Speed Art Museum. The film, which will air in November on KET, chronicles the experiences of inmates participating in one of the nation’s most rigorous prison education programs and the transformative impact it has on their lives. The event also featured a discussion with Secretary John Tilley of the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet and Secretary Derrick Ramsey of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet, who talked about Kentucky’s own prison education reform efforts.

KET’s Renee Shaw speaks with Max Kenner, executive director of the Bard Prison Initiative, Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary John Tilley and Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary Derrick Ramsey
