TEST TEST.
>> IT IS QUITE LARGE BECAUSE
TAYLOR AND HER CO-PLAINTIFFS ARE
SHOWING AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT
OF BRAVERY AND SELF-SACRIFICE TO
TELL THEIR STORIES PUBLICLY SO
THAT THE PUBLIC CAN UNDERSTAND
ABORTION IS HEALTH CARE AND WHAT
IS HAPPENING IN STATES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY IS UNCONSCIONABLE
AND SHOULD NOT CONTINUE ANYMORE.
>> WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR
PHYSICIANS WHO VIOLATE TEXAS'S
ABORTION LAW?
>> THEY COULD NOT BE MORE
EXTREME.
LIFE IN PRISON, LOSS OF MEDICAL
LICENSE AND HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FINES.
PHYSICIANS ARE TERRIFIED.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW
CLOSE A PATIENT NEEDS TO BE
BEFORE THEY CAN PROVIDE ABORTION
CARE AND THEY HAVE BEEN BEGGING
THE STATE FOR GUIDANCE FOR YEARS
AND IT HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS.
SO HERE WE ARE.
WE CAME TO COURTS.
COURTS ARE PLACES THAT CAN
VINDICATE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
>> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES
THE POINT THAT THE LAW IS CLEAR
ENOUGH LIES WITH THE DOCTORS.
HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY
EARLIER.
>> A WOMAN HAS BLOOD RUNNING
DOWN HER LEGS.
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DOCTORS.
THAT WOMAN WOULD QUALIFY.
SO IF SHE HAS TO COME TO COURT
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, IT'S NOT
THE STATE'S FAULT.
>> WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT
ARGUMENT?
>> MY RESPONSE IS THAT THE STATE
HAS BEEN SAYING OVER AND AGAIN
OVER THE EXCEPTION IS CLEAR BUT
THEY HAVE NEVER TOLD US WHAT
THEY THINK THE EXCEPTION MEANS.
CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY SAID
TODAY, THEY HAVE MADE EVERY
ATTEMPT TO SHOW THAT AMNIOTIC
FLUID DOES NEED TO BE RUNNING
DOWN A PATIENT'S LEG BEFORE THEY
CAN COME TO COURT.
HER DOCTOR
>> HI.

>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH.
I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
WE'RE JUST TAKING A LITTLE BIT
OF A BREAK FROM THIS REMARKABLE
PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE WATCHING.
THIS IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES
OF PROGRAMS THAT PBS WISCONSIN
HAS DONE ABOUT NATURAL
WISCONSIN, ABOUT THE WATER, THE
WINTER, THE TREES, THE WILDLIFE,
THE BIRDS.
AND THIS PROGRAM TO ME REALLY
EXEMPLIFIES WHAT'S BEST ABOUT
PBS WISCONSIN.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND THINK
ABOUT NOT JUST THE PHOTOGRAPHY,
WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL, NOT JUST THE
MUSIC, WHICH IS ORIGINALLY
COMPOSED FOR THIS AND IS
WONDERFUL, NOT JUST THE EDITING,
BUT THE FACT THAT IT WAS DONE.
BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY PLACE
THAT IS GOING TO BE DOING THIS
KIND OF WORK FOR YOU.
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS STATE
IS TO ALL OF US.
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE
NORTHWOODS IS.
WE KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT
THE WILDLIFE AND THE WILDERNESS,
SO THIS PROGRAM IS REALLY A
PROMISE TO YOU THAT THESE ARE
THINGS THAT MATTER TO US AND WE
WANT TO KEEP DOING BECAUSE THEY
MATTER TO YOU.
SO THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO CALL
AND LET US KNOW THAT AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI.
I'M STEPHANIE ELKINS.
I'M THE HOST OF MORNING CLASSICS
ON WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO HERE
AS A VOLUNTEER THIS EVENING.
AND WHAT AN AMAZING PROGRAM.
IT'S JUST, AS JAMES SAID, SO
RICH AND SO BEAUTIFULLY
PRODUCED.
AND WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THIS PROGRAM AND ALL
OF THE PROGRAMS ON PBS
WISCONSIN.
AND WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT OF
SUPPORT, WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT
WAYS TO SAY THANK YOU, STARTING
WITH THE I LOVE PBS WISCONSIN
HAT.
THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR YOUR GIFT
OF $10 A MONTH OR MORE.
ALSO FOR $10 A MONTH OR MORE,
YOU COULD CHOOSE THE DVD.
IF YOU HAVE BLU RAY, THATE WITH.
IF YOU HAVE A DVD PLAYER, THAT
WORKS.
FOR A GIFT OF $12 A MONTH OR
MORE WE HAVE A BOOK BEYOND THE
TREES PUBLISHED BY THE WISCONSIN
HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS AND
THIS IS FULL OF STORIES FROM THE
FLAMBEAU RIVER FOREST, FROM NOIK
NICOLET FOREST.
IF YOU'RE A LIFE LONG LEARNER
AND INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU'RE
SEEING TONIGHT THIS WOULD BE A
WONDERFUL ADD JURVEGHT TURCHGHT ADJUNCT TO IT.
FOR $20 A MONTH WE'LL SEND YOU
THE HAT, THE DVD AND THE BOOK.
GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI, FOLKS.
I'M CLINT WALZ, A STAFF HERE AT
PBS WISCONSIN.
THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT WAYS FOR
YOU TO MAKE YOUR GIFT OF SUPPORT
TO THIS GREAT PROGRAM.
YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE ONE
RIGHT BEFORE THIS, SOUTHERN
VISTAS.
WE HAD SO MUCH GREAT VIEWER
COMMENTS FROM THAT PROGRAM.
ROBIN FROM VIROQUA SAID THIS
KIND OF PROGRAM CONNECTS PEOPLE
TO THE BEAUTY AND NATURAL
RESOURCES OF OUR STATE.
IT PROMOTES DESTINATIONS OR
OUTDOOR RECREATION AND
ENCOURAGES GREATER PRIDE AND
STEWARDSHIP TO PRESERVE THOSE
TREASURES.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
THIS IS WHAT PBS WISCONSIN DOES
SO WELL.
IT CONNECTS US TO OUR WORLD.
PBS WISCONSIN, THE WORLD IS A
BETTER PLACE WITH PBS WISCONSIN
AND PBS WISCONSIN IS A BETTER
PLACE WHEN YOU'RE IN IT.
YOU CAN DO THAT BY BECOMING A
SUSTAINING MEMBER OF PBS
WISCONSIN.
THAT MEANS EVERY MONTH YOUR
CONTRIBUTION COMES OUT OF YOUR
CHECKING ACCOUNT OR YOUR CREDIT
CARD.
IT'S SUPER EASY TO DO.
IT'S SUPER EASY ON THE BUDGET.
AND MAYBE YOU'RE ALREADY A
SUSTAINER.
IF YOU ARE, GO AHEAD AND GIVE A
COUPLE DOLLARS MORE.
IT FEELS REALLY GOOD WHEN YOU DO
AND YOU CAN MAKE THESE GREAT
PROGRAMS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN DO THAT BY CALLING
1-800-236-3636.
>> SO HERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT
THINGS.
IMPORTANT THING ONE IS GETTING
OUTSIDE IS THE BEST THING YOU
CAN POSSIBLY DO.
AND WE KNOW THAT.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THIS
PROGRAM DOES, I HOPE, IS
ENCOURAGE YOU, SIT BACK, BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT OUTSIDE WATCHING
THIS, AND SAY I'D LIKE TO GO
THERE.
AND YOU CAN.
THAT'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT
THIS.
IMPORTANT THING NUMBER TWO IS
THAT WISCONSIN -- I WAS GOING TO
SAY WISCONSIN PUBLIC TELEVISION.
I'M THE FIRST ONE TO DO IT IN
THE WORK.
PBS WISCONSIN -- I USED TO WORK
HERE.
WHAT CAN I SAY.
PBS WISCONSIN IS A PROGRAM THAT
IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE CARING
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN,
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, WHERE YOU
WANT TO GO.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT
THE STATION IS HERE YOU CAN
ACTUALLY GO TO THESE PLACES.
BUT PROGRAMS AROUND THE WORLD
TAKE YOU TO PLACES YOU CAN'T GO
TO OR EVEN IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN OPERA, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
GET TO THE OPERA, BUT YOU CAN
GET TO THE MET WITH US.
THIS IS A TREASURE ABOUT THIS
BEAUTIFUL STATE.
THE BODY OF WORK, THE TOTALITY
OF WORK PRESENTED HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN IS SOMETHING PRETTY
EXTRAORDINARY AND WORTH
SUPPORTING AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> IT IS A PIECE OF ART.
WE'RE SEEING BEAUTIFUL IMAGES.
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS GORGE
JUST, THE MUSIC.
YOU CAN SOAK IT UP AND IT LIFTS
YOU UP AND MAKES YOU FEEL
BETTER.
WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF
THIS WONDERFUL PROGRAMMING FROM
PBS WISCONSIN.
WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT OF $10 A
MONTH OR MORE, WE'VE GOT THE
GREAT HAT.
IT SAYS I LOVE PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR SUPPORT,
STAY WARM ALL WINTER IF YOU
CHOOSE AT $10 A MORE OR MORE.
A DVD, YOU CAN HAVE A DVD OR BLU
RAY, IT WORKS IN BOTH PLAYERS.
FOR $12 A MONTH OR MORE, BEYOND
THE TREES.
IT'S A WONDERFUL BOOK, STORIES
OF WISCONSIN'S FORESTS.
AND THEN FOR A GIFT OF $20 A
MONTH OR MORE, WE WILL SEND YOU
THE HAT, THE DVD AND THE BOOK.
GIVE US A CALL AT 1-800-236-3636
1-800-236-3636.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, THROUGH ALL
THE CHANGE IN THE WORLD THERE
ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAVE
STAYED THE SAME.
ONE, YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND GREAT
PROGRAMS ON PBS WISCONSIN.
TWO, THE PRICE OF OUR MEMBERSHIP
HAS NOT CHANGED IN MORE THAN 20
YEARS.
YOU CAN BECOME A MEMBER BY
GIVING AT $35 A YEAR OR FOR AS
LITTLE AS $5 A MONTH.
WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT BENEFITS
THAT ARE INCLUDED WHEN YOU'RE A
MEMBER.
ONE IS "AIRWAVES," OUR MONTHLY
PROGRAM GUIDE.

SINGLE MONTH AND INCLUDES THE
LISTING OF ALL FOUR OF OUR
CHANNELS, ALL THE WONDERFUL
PROGRAMS THAT YOUR GIFT TONIGHT
IS GOING TO MAKE POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION, WE ALSO HAVE
SWEEPSTAKES SPECIFICALLY JUST
FOR MEMBERS OF PBS WISCONSIN.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE SHOWS
WITH OUR MEMBER SURVEY AND
YOU'LL RECEIVE PASSPORT, AN
ONLINE LIBRARY OF ALL THE GREAT
PROGRAMS YOU KNOW AND LOVE AND
DEPEND ON RIGHT HERE ON PBS
WISCONSIN.
BUT IT'S ONLY MADE POSSIBLE WITH
YOUR CALL RIGHT NOW,
1-800-236-3636.
>> SO COMING UP NEXT, WINTER AND
SPRING.
THIS IS THE THING ABOUT SEASONS,
THEY COME AND THEY GO AND THEY
COME AND THEY GO AND WE'RE HERE
ALL THE TIME FOR YOU.
THIS PROGRAM IN FACT CAPTURES
ALL OF THAT.
BUT BEYOND THIS PROGRAM, WHICH
IS EXTRAORDINARY, THINK ABOUT
ALL THE TIMES THAT YOU SIT DOWN
AND YOU WATCH PUBLIC TELEVISION
AND YOU SAY THAT WAS WORTH
DOING.
AND THINK ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES
YOU MIGHT NOT SAY THAT WITH
OTHER TELEVISION.
NOT THAT I DON'T LOVE A LOT OF
THE DRAMAS ON COMMERCIAL
TELEVISION, BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY ABOUT
TELEVISION.
IT'S WORTH YOUR INVESTMENT.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO EMILY
JULKA, ONE OF THE PRODUCERS OF
THIS PROGRAM, IN A LITTLE BIT.
SHE CAN TELL YOU MORE ABOUT
BEHIND-THE-SCENES, BUT WHAT GOES
INTO MAKING SOMETHING THIS
BEAUTIFUL.
SO STAY TUNED, BECAUSE YOU NOT
ONLY HAVE A GREAT SHOW, BUT
YOU'LL GET GREAT BACKGROUND AND
INSIGHT INTO THE PROGRAM ITSELF.
CALL US, 1-800-236-3636.

>> YOU KNOW, I TALKED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
THAT YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT OF
SUPPORT TO THIS PROGRAM.
LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT
WHAT WE HEARD FROM OUR VIEWERS
FROM OUR LAST SCENICI.
TERRY SAID MY MOBILITY IS
LIMITED SO IT'S SO ENJOYABLE TO
VIEW THE SCENES.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NO LONGER
ABLE TO HIKE.
YOUR PROGRAM ENABLED US TO VIEW
THE BEAUTY OF WISCONSIN WE LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR THE
CINEMATOGRAPHY, EDITING AND
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT PUTS
TOGETHER SUCH A LOVELY PLACE.
THAT'S WHY YOUR GIFT IS SO
IMPORTANT.

ALL ACROSS THE STATE.
WE HAVE TRANSMITTERS IN MADISON.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHALLENGE
BREAK BY CALLING 1-800-236-3636.
>> YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WATCH A
SHOW LIKE THIS, YOU'RE AWARE OF
THE BEAUTY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY
AND THE MUSIC.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
BUT YOU MAY NOT THINK ABOUT
ANOTHER CRUCIAL GROUP OF PEOPLE,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND THOSE ARE THE
FOLKS WHO LITERALLY MAKE THIS
POSSIBLE BY THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU ARE CRITICAL TO THAT, BUT
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE WHO STEP UP
AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION THAT CAN
REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THEIR NAMES
HERE.
IF YOU WATCH THE PROGRAM, YOU'LL
SEE THEM AS WELL.
IT'S NOT INCIDENTAL THAT WE WANT
TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHO THEY ARE
BECAUSE WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS SAY
THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT I
WANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM HAPPENS.
WHEN WE TALK TO THEM ABOUT THAT,
THEY SAY THIS IS IMPORTANT, THIS
MATTERS.
EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS, BUT
THIS PARTICULAR ONE MATTERS.
AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WORTH
KEEPING IN MIND, THAT ACROSS THE
STATE THERE ARE COMMUNITIES,
THERE ARE NEIGHBORS, THERE ARE
NEIGHBORHOODS AND INDIVIDUALS
AND COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
THAT CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PBS
WISCONSIN.
SO TUCK ALL THAT AWAY AND SAY
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING.
THIS IS WORTH IT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MATTERS
TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT MATTERS TO ME.
AND I'M GOING TO KEEP SUPPORTING
IT.
WE'RE AT 37 CALLS RIGHT NOW,
WHICH IS GREAT.
WE EXPECTED GREAT AND WE'RE AT
37.
YOU CAN MAKE IT 38.
GIVE US A CALL, 1-800-236-3636.
>> AND YOU'VE SEEN CLINT'S
GRAPH.
SUCH A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR
SUPPORT COMES FROM YOU, THE
VIEWERS, BUT YOU'RE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF IT.
JUST ONE GIFT AT A TIME.
$10 A MONTH AT A TIME AND WE ADD
IT TO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S, WE ADD IT
TO MINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE
HAVE THAT HUGE PERCENTAGE.
AND WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT OF
$10 A MONTH, WE'LL SEND YOU THIS

WISCONSIN.
SAYS I LOVE PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU CAN GET YOURS.
IT'S WONDERFUL, THE PBS BLUE.

MONTH WE'VE GOT THE DVD OR BLU
RAY.

IF YOU HAVE MADE THAT CALL
TONIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, THERE'S
STILL A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
WE'RE ABOUT TO GO BACK TO THE
PROGRAM.
AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO
CONSIDER JOINING OUR LEADERSHIP
CIRCLES.
THOSE ARE FOLKS WHO ARE ABLE TO
GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE, MAYBE
$500, 1,000 A YEAR OR EVEN
$10,000 A YEAR IN OUR EXECUTIVE
PRODUCERS CIRCLE.
SOME PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A
GIFT.
MAYBE THEY CAN'T.
YOU CAN HELP DO THAT FOR THEM.
EVERY GIFT MATTERS, BUT THANK
YOU IF YOU ARE IN LEADERSHIP
CIRCLES OR IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING
IT, WE'D GREATLY APPRECIATE
THAT.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THAT GIFT AT
1-800-236-3636 DURING THIS
CHALLENGE BREAK.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES
DURING THE DRIVE WHERE WE'RE
ABLE TO DO THIS AND WE'RE SO
HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO OFFER IT TO
YOU RIGHT NOW.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME
WONDERFUL THANK YOU GIFTS
TONIGHT, BUT I'M GOING TO TURN
IT BACK OVER TO JAMES TO CLOSE
THIS OUT.
>> GOING BACK TO THE SHOW IN
JUST A SECOND.
WE'RE AT 42 CALLS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
IF YOU'RE ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW
AND NOT ABLE TO GET THROUGH,
STAY ON THE LINE BECAUSE YOUR
CONTRIBUTION, YOUR PLEDGE WILL
STILL COUNT FOR THIS CHALLENGE
BREAK.
AND SUPPORTING PBS IS REALLY I
THINK ONE OF THE IMPORTANT
THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR
COMMUNITY, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT
THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR
FAMILY.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN YOU
PLEDGE, IN A WAY YOU COULD BE
PLEDGING FOR A NEIGHBOR WHO
RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT DOESN'T
HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PLEDGE.
THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.
WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH IS
REALLY SO BASIC TO PBS
WISCONSIN, THAT WE ARE HERE
TOGETHER, WORKING WITH, FOR YOU
TO MAKE SURE THE PROGRAMS COME
EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK, EVERY
MONTH.
SO CALL US.
WE'VE STILL GOT THE CHALLENGE
BREAK.

>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH.
I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
AND I JUST -- THIS PROGRAM IS
REMARKABLE.
IT'S REALLY STUNNING TO ME.
IN ITS BEAUTY.
IN THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGERY.
THE WAY IT'S EDITED, TOO, IS
SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY
EXTRAORDINARY.
IT'S SO GOOD THAT YOU DON'T PAY
ATTENTION TO IT.
THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF REALLY
GOOD TECHNIQUE WHEN YOU'RE
WATCHING A PROGRAM.
THAT IT JUST COVERS YOU, IT JUST
EMBRACES YOU.
THIS PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM THAT
DOES THAT SO WELL.
NOW, I CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT
BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL
NORTHWOODS.
THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH
IT, TOO.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND THIS
PROGRAM, WE'VE DONE SO MANY
PROGRAMS HERE OF SO MANY
DIFFERENT SCENES IN WISCONSIN
AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN REMARKABLE
LIKE THIS.
SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS
IS A COMMITMENT THAT WE MAKE TO TO
YOU, TO BE HERE IN WISCONSIN.
SO GIVE US A CALL,
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI.
I'M STEPHANIE ELKINS, THE HOST
OF MORNING CLASSICS ON WISCONSIN
PUBLIC RADIO.
AND WHAT AN AMAZING PROGRAM
WE'VE BEEN ENJOYING THIS
EVENING.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TRAVEL ALL
OVER THE BEAUTIFUL NORTHWOODS
AND WE'VE SEEN SOME GORGEOUS
IMAGERY AND HEARD SOME BEAUTIFUL
MUSIC.
THE COMPOSER DOES SUCH GORGEOUS
WORK.
WE'VE GOT A DVD OF THE PROGRAM.
FOR A GIFT OF $10 OR MORE, WE
HAVE THE I LOVE PBS HAT.
ALSO FOR A GIFT OF $10 A MONTH,
YOU CAN ENJOY THIS PROGRAM OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.
THE PRODUCER TONIGHT SAID SHE
WAS LOOKING AT THE COMMON
MILKWEED.
WE DON'T REALIZE HOW BEAUTIFUL
IT IS.
THIS PROGRAM BRINGS IT ALIVE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
WE ALSO HAVE "BEYOND THE TREES,"
STORIES OF THE WISCONSIN FORESTS
THAT GO THROUGH ALL THE STATE
FORESTS WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND
STORIES, AVAILABLE FOR YOUR GIFT
OF $12 A MONTH OR MORE.
FOR $20 A MONTH, WE'LL SEND YOU
THE HAT AND THE DVD AND THE
BOOK.
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI, FOLKS.
I'M CLINT WALZ.
I'M ON STAFF HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
I SHARED A FEW OF THE RESPONSES
WE RECEIVED FROM THE FIRST OF
OUR SCENIC TREASURES.
THIS IS FROM KATIE IN EDGERTON.
KATIE SAYS WE ENJOY SEEING
PLACES WE HAVEN'T VISITED YET
AND ADDING THEM TO OUR TO-DO
LIST.
OUR 11-YEAR-OLD SON MADE A LIST
OF PLACES THAT HE WANTS TO
VISIT.
IT WAS A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND
TIME TOGETHER.
THANKS FOR MAKING AMAZING
PROGRAMMING FOR OUR FAMILY.
THANK YOU.
AND THANK YOU IF YOU'VE MADE
YOUR GIFT OF SUPPORT TO SUPPORT
"WISCONSIN SCENIC TREASURES."
THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO
DO THAT.
ONE WAY IS BY BECOMING A
SUSTAINING MEMBER.
IT'S SUPER EASY TO DO.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL
1-800-236-3636 AND TALK TO ONE
OF OUR GREAT VOLUNTEERS.
>> SO HERE'S AN IMPORTANT THING.
I'M WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT
PERSON IN THE ROOM.
THIS IS EMILY JULKA, ONE OF THE
PRODUCERS OF THIS PROGRAM.
I WORKED AS A PRODUCER FOR A
WHILE AND I CAN TELL YOU, IT'S
HARD.
AND TO DO A PROGRAM THAT'S
EXQUISITE LIKE THIS IS REALLY
HARD, SO CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
>> SO YOU GOT A WHOLE STATE AND
YOU GOT AN HOUR.
HOW DO YOU NARROW THAT DOWN?
>> YEAH.
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE KNEW WE WANTED TO
NARROW IT DOWN TO THE
NORTHWOODS, WHICH WAS A LITTLE
BIT OF HELP, AND FROM THERE WE
START WITH A SPREAD SHEET, LIKE
ANY GOOD PROJECT.
WE HAVE A SPREAD SHEET AND A
MAP.
>> I DIDN'T HAVE SPREAD SHEETS.
>> AND THEN WE LOOK FOR WHAT
MAKES A LOCATION LOOK DIFFERENT
FROM ANOTHER ONE.
WE HAD FOUR SEASONS THIS SHOW,
AND SO THAT WAS HELPFUL BECAUSE
IT HELPS DISTINGUISH THE
LOCATIONS FROM EACH OTHER.
BUT LIKE ST. PETER'S DOME IS THE
HIGHEST POINT IN THE NICOLET
NATIONAL FOREST, SO THAT SETS IT
APART.
WE WORKED WITH A PROJECT ADVISER
FROM THE DNR AND HE GAVE A LOT
OF EXPERTISE.
>> THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE
FORMED ARE REALLY CRITICAL TO
THE WORK THAT'S DONE HERE,
CERTAINLY IN THIS PROGRAM.
BUT NOT ONLY IN THIS PROGRAM.
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY
VALUE ABOUT THIS ORGANIZATION,
THAT IT REACHES OUT TO PEOPLE
AND INVITES THEM TO WORK WITH
US.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
>> THOSE ARE SOME OF MY BEST
MEMORIES ARE GOING OUT INTO THE
FIELD WITH THE PEOPLE FROM THE
DNR, FROM THE NATURE CON VER
CERTIFICATE VANSY.
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK,
1-800-236-3636.
>> WE'VE HEARD EMILY TALK ABOUT
THE PRODUCTION OF THIS PROGRAM
AND IT'S SO LABOR INTENSIVE.
IT TAKES A LOT OF RESOURCES TO
CREATE THESE PROGRAMS FOR YOU.
AND EVERY CONTRIBUTION REALLY
HELPS.
WE'RE ASKING FOR YOURS RIGHT NOW
AT 1-800-236-3636.
WHEN YOU MAKE A GIFT OF $10 A
MONTH OR MORE, WE'VE GOT A GREAT
HAT FOR YOU.
IT SAYS I LOVE PBS WISCONSIN.
OR FOR A GIFT OF $10 WE'LL SEND
YOU THE DVD.
IT COMES AS BOTH A DVD AND A BLU
RAY.
AND FOR A GIFT OF $12 A MONTH OR
MORE, WE'VE GOT A TERRIFIC BOOK.
IT'S CALLED "BEYOND THE TREES,"
STORIES OF WISCONSIN'S FORESTS,
FULL OF STORIES AND PHOTOGRAPHS
AND LOTS OF ANECDOTES ABOUT THE
FLORA AND FAUNA OF OUR FORESTS
HERE IN WISCONSIN.
FOR A GIFT OF $20 A MONTH OR
MORE, WE'LL SEND YOU ALL OF
THOSE, THE HAT, THE DVD AND THE
BOOK.
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI, FOLKS.
WE'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME
TONIGHT IN THE STUDIOS.
IF YOU GIVE A GIFT OF $10 A
MONTH YOU'LL RECEIVE A I HEART
PBS WISCONSIN HAT.
WE HAVE SOME OTHER GREAT WAYS OF
SAYING THANK YOU.
FOR A GIFT OF $12 A MONTH YOU'LL
RECEIVE THE BOOK.
THIS IS "BEYOND THE TREES," AND
I'M GOING TO SORT OF -- I DON'T
KNOW IF THE CAMERA CAN PICK THAT
UP, BUT WONDERFUL MAPS OF THE
STATE FORESTS AND PARKS AND
BEAUTIFUL FOUR-COLOR -- FULL COLOR IMAGES
AS WELL.
OUR POPULAR "AIRWAVES" MAGAZINE
ARRIVES IN YOUR MAILBOX AND
INCLUDES THE LISTING OF ALL FOUR
OF OUR CHANNELS, ALL OF WHICH
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE POSSIBLE
WITH YOUR GIFT OF SUPPORT.
YOU'LL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN OUR
MEMBER SWEEPSTAKES, HAVE A
CHANCE TO TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT OUR PROGRAMMING AND
RECEIVE ACCESS TO PBS WISCONSIN
PASSPORT.
THAT'S OUR ONLINE LIBRARY OF THE
PROGRAMS YOU ARE HELPING MAKE
POSSIBLE WHEN YOU BECOME A
MEMBER OF PBS WISCONSIN AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> SO, EMILY, WE WERE JUST
TALKING WHILE THEY WERE TALKING
ABOUT HARD WORK, BUT REALLY FUN,
TOO, WHICH I THINK IS AN
IMPORTANT PIECE OF ALL THIS.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
I DON'T THINK THAT REALLY COMES
ACROSS IN THE BEAUTY OF THE
SHOW, BUT WE HAVE A REALLY FUN
TIME AS A TEAM.
I HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD
MEMORIES, EVEN IN PRE-PRODUCTION
MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, ON THE WEST
SIDE OF MADISON TRYING TO GET
THE LOCATIONS NAILED DOWN TO
DEFINITELY FALLING THROUGH THE
ICE ON ONE OF THE LAKES.
WE'VE DONE IT ALL.
SO, YEAH, REALLY GOOD MEMORIES.
>> IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING
TO LOVE AND ENJOY THE WORK.
I WANT TO MAKE A MOMENT TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR BOSS.
NOT ANYMORE, BECAUSE SHE'S
RETIRED, BUT LAURIE GORMAN WAS
THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF ALL OF
THESE BEAUTIFUL PROGRAMS.
STARTING WITH UNANIMOUS SYVMENT
SHE'S GREAT.
>> SHE WAS A MENTOR TO ME AS
WELL.
WORKING WITH HER ON THESE WAS
ALSO VERY FUN AND VERY
MEANINGFUL.
>> YEAH.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE MOST
ABOUT LORI IS THAT SHE IS A
COMPLETE STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
AND YOU CAN TELL THAT IN THE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE DONE BECAUSE
YOU DON'T GET THE KIND OF
INTEGRITY, THE KIND OF QUALITY
AND COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY THAT
YOU GET IN PROGRAMS LIKE THIS
WITHOUT SOMEBODY WHO CARES ABOUT
EVERY PIECE OF IT AND HOW IT ALL
COMES TOGETHER.
I FEEL REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE
WORKED WITH HER.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU DO, TOO.
>> YEAH.
>> LORI, I HOPE THAT YOU'RE
WATCHING AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE WONDERFUL WORK YOU'VE
DONE FOR PBS WISCONSIN.
>> IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
EVENING OF ART AND BEAUTY AND
ALMOST A MEDITATIVE FEEL.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN A MEMBER FOR
A WHILE OR IF YOU'VE BEEN A
SUSTAINER FOR A WHILE BUT YOU'D
LIKE TO MAKE AN INCREASE, THIS
IS A GREAT TIME TO DO IT.
1-800-236-3636.
FOR A GIFT OF $10 A MONTH, WE'LL
SEND YOU THE I LOVE PBS
WISCONSIN HAT.
OR YOU CAN CHOOSE FOR $10 A
MONTH THE DVD WHICH ALSO COMES
AS A BLU RAY.
AND FOR $12 A MONTH OR MORE,
WE'LL SEND YOU "BEYOND THE
TREES," STORIES OF WISCONSIN
FORESTS.
AND FOR $20 A MONTH OR MORE, WE
WILL SEND YOU THE HAT AND THE
DVD OR BLU RAY AND THE BOOK.
1-800-236-3636.
>> OKAY.
I WANT A HAT.
STEPHANIE, GIVE ME A HAT.
THANK YOU.
EVERYBODY ELSE GOT A HAT.
I'M NOT GOOD WITH HATS.
BUT HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY.
SO NICE HAT.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
THAT IS A WAY THAT YOU CAN GET
THE HAT.
BUT I WANT TO TAKE JUST A COUPLE
OF SECONDS HERE NOW AS WE'RE
FINISHING THIS PLEDGE DRIVE,
THIS PLEDGE BREAK, TO TALK ABOUT
ONE MORE TIME THE REMARKABLE
DIFFERENCE OF THIS SHOW AND HOW
UNUSUAL IT IS TO HAVE A PLACE
LIKE THIS THAT BRINGS YOU
PROGRAMS LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS
EVERY DAY AND IN EVERY STATE.
SO GIVE US A CALL,
1-800-236-3636, AND RENEW YOUR
COMMITMENT TO PBS WISCONSIN.
AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
