Program Highlights

American Experience: Berlin Lift Friday, Feb 9th • 8pm It was the largest humanitarian campaign the world had ever seen. Western superpowers came together to feed the city of Berlin.

Dr. Percy Julian, of the research department at the Glidden Paint and Varnish Company, shown in his office in Chicago, Illinois, July 25, 1947

NOVA: Forgotten Genius Thursday, Feb 22nd • 8pm His house was firebombed. A scandalous affair got him fired in the middle of the Depression. The doors of academia were slammed in his face, since no one expected an African American to rise higher than teaching high school. Yet Percy Julian overcame every obstacle to become a world-class scientist, a selfmade millionaire, and a civil rights pioneer. NOVA presents his dramatic life story in a two-hour “Lives in Science” biography.

On June 24, 1948, the Cold War began in the wartorn, divided city of Berlin. The Soviets, who controlled all of East Germany and the eastern half of Berlin, blocked all access to the American- and Britishcontrolled West Berlin, choking commerce and starving the people. The Soviet goal was to expel the Allied forces, who had long been a thorn in Stalin’s side. But Western forces refused to abandon the city. President Truman proclaimed, “We stay in Berlin. Period.” To do so would mean attempting the impossible: supplying two million civilians and 20,000 Allied soldiers with food and fuel — entirely from the air.

Soundstage: Train Saturday, Feb 10th • 10pm San Francisco’s Train is one of the most successful bands stemming from the late 90s, having sold millions of records and producing solid hit after hit with each album it releases. Singer Patrick Monahan, singer/guitarist Rob Hotchkiss, guitarist Jim Stafford, bassist Charlie Colin and drummer Scott Underwood know how to craft thoughtful ballads to anthemic rock n’ roll – fans and radio cannot get enough of them. SOUNDSTAGE welcomes the group, who delivers a rousing performance packed with sing-along choruses and hook-filled melodies.

Masterpiece Theatre: Dracula Monday, Feb 19th • 8pm Transylvania’s most famous undead resident bares his fangs in a chilling new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror classic. Marc Warren (“Band of Brothers”) stars as Dracula, with Sophia Myles (“Miss Marple”) as Lucy, Stephanie Leonidas as Mina and a star turn by David Suchet (“Poirot”) as vampire killer Van Helsing.

For the second year in a row, Americans have named PBS their most trusted national institution.

Sweetwater Rescue: The Willie and Martin Handcart Story Friday, Feb 2nd • 8pm A documentary describing the travails of 1,200 stranded emigrants and their rescuers. From 1856 to 1860, ten groups of handcart pioneers traveled to the Salt Lake Valley — the place they considered Zion. Eight successfully crossed the plains from Iowa to the Salt Lake Valley. But two — the Willie and Martin companies — met with a wintry disaster in October 1856. They found themselves stranded on the high plains of Wyoming in treacherous snowstorms. Those who traveled from the Salt Lake Valley to rescue the pioneers faced the same horrific snows. As many as 200 of the emigrants from Great Britain and Europe traveling in these companies were buried in shallow graves, but more than 1,000 of them lived — and told their story. This year marks the sesquicentennial of their fateful journey. In commemoration of their sacrifice, documentary filmmaker Lee Groberg, author Heidi Swinton and hundreds more joined in a nearly two-year project to create SWEETWATER RESCUE: THE WILLIE AND MARTIN HANDCART STORY

Sundays • Noon With her Midwestern charm, girl-next-door persona and “keep it simple” ethic, Katie Brown demonstrates how to make a house a home in her new series, KATIE BROWN WORKSHOP. Everyday life at home is a joyous adventure for Katie, whether she is planning and cooking for a dinner party, working in her garden, redecorating a room or meeting the daily needs of a young family. Her imaginative and budget-conscious approach to the home arts has been a breath of fresh air for a new generation of homemakers, earning her praise from People Magazine as “TV’s meat-and-potatoes Martha Stewart.” From her real-life workshop, Katie uses seasonal foods and colors to prepare simple and enjoyable meals, demystify flower arranging and transform holiday decorations into works of art.

In the third and final hour of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW from Honolulu, Hawaii, appraiser David Bonsey of Skinner plucks the owner of this antique violin out of the crowd. The violin and bow were passed down to the owner by her great-aunt — a professional violinist who purchased the instrument in 1921. According to accompanying documentation, the violin is a rare Camilli, made in 1737 in Mantua, Italy. Upon further inspection, however, Bonsey reveals that it’s a fine forgery. Despite this sour note, the violin and bow as a pair could still make beautiful music together with an auction estimate of $12,000. 8

Program Highlights

Masterpiece Theatre: The Sally Lockhart Mysteries, Ruby in the Smoke

Austin City Limits: Lyle Lovett and Jamie Cullum Saturday, Feb 10th • 9pm

Monday, Feb 12th • 8pm Scrappy teen Sally Lockhart (Billie Piper, “Doctor Who”) has a mind for numbers and for sleuthing. In Phillip Pullman’s quartet of novels, she is put through the paces of Victorian melodrama and mystery. In this vivid adaptation of the first book in the quartet, The Ruby in the Smoke, orphan Sally Lockhart, armed with a pearl handled pistol and her keen mind, uncovers the secrets of her father’s death, discovers hidden cursed jewels and faces England’s deadliest villains with bold courage. Sally’s friends, the street-smart Jim and the besotted Frederick, help her expose the truth — no matter how dangerous. Sally navigates through the constantly twisting plots with the savvy dexterity of a sharp-eyed detective.

Multiple music genres fuse as crooner Lyle Lovett and pianist Jamie Cullum perform on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS. Singer-songwriter Lovett has long mixed elements of jazz, blues and pop into his unique country sound. Cullum, a 24-year-old from England, is working to change contemporary jazz music in the States by infusing the genre with rock and dance sounds.

Austin City Limits: Jack Johnson and Rilo Kiley Saturday, Feb 24th • 9pm Former surfer Jack Johnson has long been a hit at summer music festivals with his mix of folk, blues and hip-hop. He performs songs from his newest CD, In Between Dreams. Rilo Kiley fuses indie-pop and alt-country for a sound that emphasizes their emotional, playful lyrics. Highlights include songs from the band’s newest CD, More Adventurous.

Mental Engineering Fridays • 12:30am Mental Engineering is a weekly roundtable discussion about TV commercials and our commercial culture. It airs exclusively on public television.

The Short List Saturdays • 11pm The 13-part, half-hour series will feature 47 outstanding short films from 18 countries. The Short List — still the only weekly series of its kind in the world — is credited with bringing the art of short film to U.S. series television. In addition to four Southwest Emmy Awards, The Short List has received commendation from the U.S. State Department for its world view and from the Arts and Culture Division of the European Union for promoting awareness of the film arts in cultures around the globe.

Nova: Arctic Passage: Ice Survivors Thursday, Feb 8th • 8pm After the Franklin expedition, more than a half-century would pass before an innovative explorer finally conquered the Northwest Passage. Unsupported by naval might or government funding, a 29-year-old Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, set out with improbably slim resources: six men and a tiny, shallow vessel, the Gjoa, which he presumed could slip through channels that endangered larger ships. Caught by the winter ice, Amundsen did what the earlier Franklin crew had been unable or

Each week host John Forde is joined by four smart, fun panelists. The conversation usually begins with the way the commercial uses the mechanisms of social psychology, then wanders through history, technology, sex roles, spirituality and humor. Mental Engineering is alternately funny and meaningful. The show is neither pro-consumer nor anti-consumption. The goal is to get the viewer to transcend consumerism and think of themselves as citizens and even spiritual beings. As the only media literacy series to reach a national audience, Mental Engineering teaches by using the most vivid and pervasive examples of our modern culture, TV commercials. By modeling the art of asking good questions, the show gives viewers the tools to own themselves.

unwilling to do: he turned to the native Inuit to learn their ancient skills of Arctic survival. What they taught him — seal hunting, building igloos and handling dog teams — not only ensured the success of his voyage, but was crucial training for his conquest of the South Pole in 1912.

Doctor Who:Terror of the Zygons Begins Feb 10th • 7pm The Doctor : [To Broton] “You can’t rule the world in hiding. You’ve got to come out on to the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle.” The Doctor, Sarah and Harry return to Earth in response to the Brigadier’s summons. UNIT are investigating a series of attacks on North Sea oil rigs and have set up a temporary HQ in the Scottish village of Tullock. The attacks are the work of a huge cyborg, the Skarasen, controlled by a group of aliens called Zygons whose spaceship lies at the bottom of Loch Ness. The Zygons plan to take over the Earth as a substitute for their own planet, which has been devastated by solar flares. They are using their shape-shifting abilities to take on the identities of locals whose inert bodies are held aboard their ship. 12

Letter from the General Manager It’s a rare and special person who sees something that appears to be free, yet appreciates its value and is willing to pay for it.

Debbie Emond

That person is you. You are special, because your support allows KBTC to broadcast intelligent, uninterrupted programming throughout Western Washington. Thank you for sharing our dedication to the quality of life in our community.

For example, the popularity of Masterpiece Theatre has demonstrated that there is a place in American television for acting and writing of the highest caliber…that there can be more power in a glance than in an explosion…that there is an audience for excellence. This month I hope you’ll enjoy Masterpiece Theatre’s presentation of Dracula. Transylvania’s most famous undead resident bares his fangs in a chilling new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror classic. We also have plenty of programs on the lighter side such as Antique Roadshow that says “Aloha!” to its 2007 season with a voyage to sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. Host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Nancy Druckman of Sotheby’s explore the longstanding tradition of Hawaiian quilting by visiting the stunning collection at the Queen Emma Summer Palace and sitting in on a quilting class at the Iolani Palace. In addition, multiple music genres fuse as crooner Lyle Lovett and pianist Jamie Cullum perform on Austin City Limits. Singer-songwriter Lovett has long mixed elements of jazz, blues and pop into his unique country sound. Cullum, a 24-year-old from England, is working to change contemporary jazz music in the states by infusing the genre with rock and dance sounds. I hope you’ll stay tuned in 2007. We’ll satisfy your curiosity. We’ll keep you entertained. We will fulfill your desire for lifelong learning. Thank you for supporting KBTC, your public television station. Sincerely,

Debbie Emond Executive Dean and General Manager, KBTC & KCKA A Service of Bates Technical College

Thank You Richard & Beverly Bendicksen Communications and civic service were life long passions of Richard and Beverly Bendicksen. The two met while working at Pacific Mr. and Mrs. Bendicksen volunteering at the Museum of Communications. Northwest Bell and continued their work in the communications field long after their years at the phone company. As a proud WWII veteran, Richard was able to support the next generation of military personnel as a distinguished participant in the MARS program, relaying calls from service men in Vietnam to their families back home. He was an expert at Morse Code and a passionate HAM radio operator, connecting and making friends with people all over the world. Both Richard and Beverly dedicated much of their retirement to preserving vintage communications equipment and memorabilia at the Museum of Communications in Seattle. The two also enjoyed public television, partly because of Beverly’s English heritage. Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery were among their favorites and they often taped them to watch again and again. Just as Richard and Beverly gave back to the community during their lives, they also ensured that the programs they enjoyed on KBTC will be around for their friends and family by generously remembering KBTC in their estate. If you would like information on how to include KBTC in your will or trust and help provide for the future of public broadcasting, please call 253.680.7707.

When the vicar in Miss Marple’s home village declares in exasperation that anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe would be doing the world a service, he does not realize his words will come back to haunt him. In The Murder at the Vicarage, the victim is indeed the odious Colonel Protheroe (Derek Jacobi, Gosford Park, Cadfael), whom many people have good reason to wish dead.
