Join the Conversation We’re hearing a lot about candidate strategies and campaign coffers, the horse race and the headline grabbers. But ultimately, elections are about people. And people are talking — across California and nationwide— about the tough choices we face, about the fear of losing a job or a home, about the hope of a new opportunity or a strengthened community.
There are several ways you can share your ideas and opinions. • Email us at community@kqed.org • Comment in the online forums on KQEDnews.org • Post a comment on Facebook at facebook.com/kqednews • Tweet us @KQEDnews
In the coming weeks and months we’ll also be giving you the opportunity to talk directly to our reporters. Be sure to read On Q and check KQEDnews.org for more information as it becomes available.

So we’re putting the question to you: What’s government for? How do you want your taxes spent? What do you expect from your politicians? After all, the glossy world of campaigns and elections is ultimately about choosing leaders to do the not-so-glamorous work of governing.
Where will people be able to find KQED’s election coverage? You can find ongoing coverage for Election 2012: What’s Government For? on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM, on KQED Public Television and online at KQEDnews.org.

Our reporters will tackle those stories with the depth and insight that’s KQED’s hallmark. We’ll also be out around the Bay Area and the state giving our audience a window into the issues that animate this election and why they matter to people. We’ll be talking to Californians about the ways they interact with government, about how they came to their beliefs on taxes and more. We’ll bring thoughtful and thought-provoking observers of California government and the political process onto our air for extended conversations that help put it all in context. And we’ll keep it lively with an interactive quiz, a series of meet-ups, a weekly check-in with reporters to demystify the election process and an online voter guide.
KQED Public Television
How will the What’s Government For? theme be reflected in KQED’s coverage? These could be the most consequential elections in a generation. We’re voting for president, of course, just as we’re trying to pull out of the worst recession since the Great Depression. We’ll also be electing a U.S. senator, our members of Congress and a raft of state legislators. Meanwhile, two recent electoral reforms are upending the established political order: an open “top two” primary system and new district maps drawn by the state’s first independent redistricting commission. And the term limits voters enacted 22 years ago are retiring more veteran legislators. On top of all that, we’ll be looking at a slew of ballot measures come November.
KQED Public Radio
What factors will influence your vote in this November’s election? Why do you value the things you do? Where do you find common ground with your fellow Californians? KQED News will be asking for your answers to these questions and others this summer and fall as part of our election coverage project: Election 2012: What’s Government For? KQED elections editor Tyche Hendricks answered a few questions about the project.
Most election coverage seems to focus on the polls and which candidate is winning. Why is it important to go deeper? With this election we have an opportunity with to reflect on the bigger issues facing our communities, our state and our country. How much government do we want? What can we afford and what are we willing to pay for? What do we want from our elected leaders? What’s realistic to expect? And how can we recover a sense of trust in our politicians and the political process? Too often, when it comes to politics, we talk past each other. And the shock jocks turn the talking into shouting. It’s high time we move from diatribe to dialogue. That’s what KQED will be doing this year.
On Q May 2012
We’ll all be inundated with election news this year; what will make KQED’s coverage stand out? Whether you’re a political junkie or a novice voter, our coverage respects your intelligence. We believe that you turn to KQED for more than just the “who, what, when, where” on other news outlets . . . we think you want to understand “why” and maybe even ask, “Why not?”

The King of Late Night American Masters shares its unprecedented access to Johnny Carson’s archives. For 15 years Jones wrote an annual letter to Carson requesting his cooperation in the production of a documentary. His appeals went unanswered until 2003, when he received a telephone call from Carson himself: “You write a damn fine letter, Peter, but I don’t have anything more to say.” Following Carson’s death in 2005, Jones directed his letters to Johnny’s nephew, Jeff Sotzing, who controls his uncle’s archives. Finally, in 2010, Sotzing agreed to cooperate and granted unprecedented access to Johnny’s personal and professional archives, including family photo albums, home movies, memorabilia and all existing episodes of The Tonight Show from 1962 until his retirement in 1992. His simple reason: “I didn’t want people to forget Johnny Carson.” Watch American Masters “Johnny Carson: King of Late Night” on Monday, May 14, at 9pm on KQED 9.
Sherlock Unleashed — Again
Martin Freeman as Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock in “The Hounds of Baskerville.”

Benedict Cumberbatch (War Horse, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) returns as the world’s foremost consulting detective, with Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office U.K.) as the stalwart, if edgy, Dr. John Watson and Andrew Scott (Lennon Naked) as the unassuming mastermind of evil, Jim Moriarty. Each of the three new episodes (“A Scandal in Belgravia,” “The Hounds of Baskerville” and “The Reichenbach Fall”) in the Masterpiece Mystery! series is pegged to a classic Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle — delightfully, weirdly, wittily and briskly updated, of course.
Guest stars include Lara Pulver (True Blood) as Irene Adler, the only woman who ever kindled the embers of passion in Holmes; and Russell Tovey (Little Dorrit) as the character who speaks the immortal line “Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!” Except the hound he means is not just big . . . Sherlock, Series 2 airs Sundays at 9pm, beginning May 6 on KQED 9.

On May 22, 1992, Carson’s final appearance as the host of The Tonight Show attracted an estimated 50 million viewers, the largest audience in late-night television history.
Johnny Carson was seen by more people on more occasions than anyone else in American history. Over the course of 30 years, 4,531 episodes and 23,000 guests, he became a fixture of national life and a part of the zeitgeist. While his public persona made him an American superstar, Carson chose to remain a very private man, rarely giving interviews. He once revealed, “I can get in front of an audience and be in control. I suppose it’s manipulation. Offstage, I’m aloof because I’m not very comfortable.” Two-time Emmy-winning filmmaker Peter Jones explores Carson’s life, career, complexities and contradictions in the two-hour documentary Johnny Carson: King of Late Night. Narrated by actor Kevin Spacey, the film features 45 original interviews with Carson’s friends, family and colleagues, as well as a who’s who of performers who appeared — even began their careers — on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

Taxwise Giving Although it is too late to change last year’s tax situation, by planning ahead you may be able to reduce your tax liability for 2012. If you are age 60 or older, you may want to consider establishing a charitable gift annuity.
Example: Emma had a $20,000 certificate of deposit paying 3%. If she used the $20,000 to establish a charitable gift annuity with KQED, she’d receive • tax-free income — nearly 80% of Emma’s $1,020 annual income is tax free. • an immediate income tax deduction of approximately $7,164. • 5.1% income for her lifetime, based on her age — 70.
Please contact KQED’s Gift Planning Department at 415.553.2230 or email us at legacy@kqed.org for more information about gift annuities.

In celebration of the Golden Gate Bridge’s 75th anniversary, local artist Stephanie Syjuco (pictured) is creating an expansive shop of faux souvenirs in a monochrome palette: the memorable orange hue of the Golden Gate Bridge. Working with the same paint used to keep the bridge looking fresh, Syjuco’s installation for the International Orange exhibition at Fort Point features all things reddish-orange: teacups, jewelry, postcards and tchotchkes. KQED’s Arts Education team interviewed Syjuco about her project, growing up in San Francisco and her career. Keep an eye out for this behind-the-scenes look at her creative process in mid-May on the KQED arts and education blogs (kqed.org/arts and kqed.org/edspace).

The Making of Better Science Teachers
Since it launched last year, KQED Education’s Science Lab has provided teachers from San Francisco and Contra Costa counties with a unique opportunity to learn new media skills and new ways to incorporate science instruction in their classrooms. The 70 elementary school teachers who’ve particpated so far have all reported a significant increase in their comfort level when teaching science, in using KQED and PBS media resources, and in creating video to share with their students. The most recent cohort of the Science Lab wrapped up their training in February. K–3 educators from Contra Costa County joined KQED Education for eight weeks to learn how to integrate science, media and technology. Working in collaboration with the Contra Costa County Office of Education and the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek, the Science Lab offered teachers the chance to become learners — observing and filming animals at the museum as part of their unit of study. Teachers also learned new science skills and processes, accessing and using valuable PBS media resources, and creating digital media projects to help make their lessons more engaging and more effective. Other project partners include the California Academy of Sciences, the Lawrence Hall of Science, and the West Contra Costa and San Francisco Unified School Districts.
KQED Education helps improve science teaching and learning in elementary schools.
Learn more at kqed.org/sciencelab.
The trainings have made an impact on my teaching practice. I have applied several strategies for looking at videos more purposefully . . . guiding my students in what to look for and in developing awareness for discussions. — Margaret C oughlan , teacher for 16 years

KQED’s Community Advisory Panel (CAP) consists of 24 individuals representing the broad diversity of KQED’s viewership, listeners and members. This month we profile the last two of this year’s new CAP members. What are your favorite programs on KQED? Having a little one, our family enjoys all of the children’s programming. Check, Please! Bay Area is one of my current local favorites. And Native American History month is a highlight for us, with our DVR working overtime to catch all the shows.
What would you like to accomplish during your tenure on CAP? I would like to make my communities more aware of KQED’s excellent programs. Additionally, I would like to work to ensure my communities have some representation in the programming on KQED.
Finish the sentence: “KQED is my source for . . .” morning news and children’s programming.
Why did you want to become a CAP member, and what would you like to accomplish during your tenure? I bring a unique perspective given my involvement with the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim and South Asian (AMEMSA) community, which is underrepresented and underreported on in the current media landscape. I would like to help create programming that connects KQED to the Bay Area and national AMEMSA
communities and engages with other minority groups and new audiences, particularly through the use of social media.

What are the communities you work with? I am an enrolled member of the Chippewa of the Thames, First Nation. I am also the executive director of the Native American AIDS Project, and in 2008, I was a San Francisco LGBT Pride Community Grand Marshall.

Heart disease kills close to 600,000 people each year — more than die from cancer, car accidents or AIDS. QUEST investigates the No. 1 cause of death in America in a new 30-minute special. Producer Gabriela Quirós explains, “We decided to take a look at heart disease from three different points of view — a teenager trying to lower her risk, a heart attack patient and the team that saved her life, and a researcher working to one day rebuild a damaged heart from the inside out.” Other QUEST episodes airing this month look at deep sea corals (May 9) and the science of biking (May 16).
