%%>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH. I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN, REALLY HAPPY TO
BE HERE
TALKING TO YOU
ABOUT THIS
TERRIFIC PROGRAM AND I
MEAN TRAFFIC NOT
IN A SENSE
OF WONDERFUL
ENTERTAINMENT, BECAUSE
THERE'S NOTHING
ENTERTAINING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
THE NEWS NOW.
BUT THERE'S A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF INFORMATION THAT WE ALL
NEED TO HAVE. AND THE
THING THAT
DRIVES THE
"NEWSHOUR," IT'S
FUNDAMENTAL TO
IT, IS THE
INTEGRITY OF THE REPORTING THAT THEY
DO, THE
INTEGRITY OF THE COMMENTARY,
THE INTEGRITY OF THE
GUESTS THEY
BRING IN. THEY SPEND
THEIR TIME
MAKING SURE THAT IT'S
WORTH OUR TIME,
THAT IT'S WORTH YOUR
TIME. AND
SO THAT'S
WHY WHEN
WE TAKE
THESE BREAKS WE ASK YOU
TO SUPPORT THE
"NEWSHOUR." I DO
AND I'M
SURE YOU
DO OR
YOU'D LIKE TO.
SO CALL
US AT
1-800-236-3636. MAKE
YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT
TO THIS PROGRAM
WHICH IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF
US THESE
DAYS, FOR ALL
OF US
TO PAY
ATTENTION TO AND WATCH.

SO COMING
UP AFTER THE
"NEWSHOUR" AT 7:00
IS A REALLY
REMARKABLE PROGRAM
CALLED "WISCONSIN SCENIC TREASURES: NORTHWOODS."
I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH
THE PROGRAMS
WE'VE DONE
FOR YEARS NOW
REALLY SHOWING
THE BEAUTIFUL
SCENERY AND RIVERS
AND WATER OF WISCONSIN.
THIS ONE IS THE
LATEST EXAMPLE
OF THAT. AND
IT'S REALLY
EXTRAORDINARY. SO I
HOPE YOU
STICK AROUND FOR
THAT. ONE OF THE
THINGS I
LOVE ABOUT PBS WISCONSIN IS WE H
AVE THE
"NEWSHOUR" AND WE HAVE
NORTHWOODS. SO YOU HAVE
THE "NEWSHOUR"
AND NORTHWOODS. YOU
HAVE THESE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE
REALLY REMARKABLY
DIFFERENT AND
YET REMARKABLY THE
SAME IN
ONE RESPECT: THAT
THEY RESPECT YOU
AS THE
VIEWER, THEY
RESPECT YOUR
INTELLIGENCE, THEY REALLY PAY
ATTENTION TO MAKING
IT WORTH
YOUR TIME TO WATCH.
AND SO
THAT'S WORTH SUPPORTING,
I THINK. I
SUPPORT. AND I
HOPE YOU,
TOO. SO
CALL US
AT 1-800-236-3636 BECAUSE YOU
KNOW THAT
YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO COME
BACK EVERY
DAY, EVERY
WEEK, EVERY
MONTH BECAUSE OF
YOUR SUPPORT
TO PBS WISCONSIN.
GIVE US A
CALL AND THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR
WATCHING.
>> 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 WH
EN 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 M
EANS 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
!!!!!!!!! !!!! 1-800-236-36
36. >> 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.
ARRIVES IN YOUR
MAILBOX EVERY
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 J
UST FOR MEMBERS
OF PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE
TO TELL
US 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
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 AN
D 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.

RIGHT NOW.
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.

IS REALLY
I THINK ONE OF
THE IMPORTANT
THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR
YOUR COMMUNITY, ONE OF THE IMPOR
TANT 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.

>> 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 TR
EASURES." 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. 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

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 T
HE 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. >> Y
EAH. 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 BECAU
SE 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

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.
