Experience it! Experience Michiana Weeknights on WNIT Hosted by Gordy Young Board of Directors Mary’s Message Mary Pruess Chair David M. Findlay President and GM, WNIT Public Television Vice Chair Rodney F. Ganey Ida Reynolds Watson President Mary Pruess Treasurer Kevin J. Morrison Secretary WNIT is located in the Center for Public Media, but all of Michiana is our studio. Through our Janet M. Botz local programs and documentaries, from the OUR TOWN series to FARM FRESH TO YOU, Directors from DINNER AND A BOOK to our newest program, EXPERIENCE MICHIANA, we tell Kathryn Demarais the stories of Michiana by the people of Michiana. Robert G. Douglass Irene E. Eskridge Geographically, Michiana covers approximately 17 counties in northern Indiana and five in David D. Gibson southwestern Michigan. It stretches from the lakeshore along Lake Michigan to the Amish William A. Gitlin communities in LaGrange County, Indiana. It is an area of farms and fields, factories and Tracy D. Graham fisheries. It is dotted with hundreds of small lakes and borders Lake Michigan. Michiana contains Larry D. Harding cities, towns and villages, major colleges and universities, incredible agriculture and world-class James W. Hillman manufacturing. The region is drained by two major rivers, the St. Joseph and the Kankakee, which Najeeb A. Khan come within a few miles of each other at a location designated as a north-south continental divide. Glenn E. Killoren Waters to the north and east of the divide flow into the Great Lakes while waters to the south and Evelyn Kirkwood Ryan Matthys west of that demarcation flow into the Mississippi and down to the Gulf of Mexico. Mary Louise Miller But it is the people that make Michiana special. Where in this world are you going to find people Pat Moody of such talent and diversity, people who are so open and friendly and helpful? The people of Dr. Susan Ohmer Michiana are educated and hard-working, specializing in fields such as education and farming, Jill Richardson orthopedics and engineering. That’s why we’re so excited about EXPERIENCE MICHIANA. It Maritza Robles gives us the opportunity to spotlight individuals and organizations in our community who have a Cari Shein story to tell. Our camera crews have recorded everything from the wooden carousel horses in St. Thomas E. Slager Joseph to the New York Central Railroad Museum in Elkhart.

Decio Mr. Jerry Hammes Just as WNIT is so much more than just a channel on the dial, Michiana is so much more than Mrs. Ernestine M. Raclin an area on a map. For us, Michiana is home. In the past few years, we have produced OUR Mrs. Jane Warner TOWN: GOSHEN, OUR TOWN: WARSAW - WINONA LAKE and we are currently Mr. Dar Wiekamp* working on another edition of OUR TOWN for this summer. All of Michiana is indeed our Honorary Life Director studio. Our ongoing, overarching aim is to tell the story of OUR TOWN: MICHIANA. Carmi Murphy *Deceased Charter Director

10 It’s a hit!

While only on the air for a little more than a month, WNIT’s Experience Michiana is already drawing rave reviews for its coverage of what makes our region so special.

Part of the reason is that this half-hour magazine-of-the-air has something for viewers of all ages. There are segments reviewing the latest DVD releases, nature and outdoor exploration. We visit museums, art galleries, and community theaters to find out what’s happening behind the scenes. The program also features a news and weather segment furnished by WSBT-TV.

“We provide reviews of music, movies and performing arts and behind-the-scenes looks at popular Michiana hot spots,” said co-producer Brenda Bowyer. “The cooking segments — White Chicken Chili, Pan-Seared Alaskan Halibut and Red Thai Curry — have been especially popular with viewers.”

“We’ll let you know what’s happening on the weekend, things to see and do, and those don’t-miss events that are taking place,” added co-producer Kelsy Zumbrun. “We highlight everything from the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee to the renovation of the State Theater.”

Tune in weeknights on WNIT 34.1 and InFocus 34.2 to be a part of the experience.

23 Delivering on the Promise

Child Abuse: Our Silent Crisis April was National Child Abuse Prevention month and WNIT presented a three-part series on this important and sensitive topic. In mid-April we broadcast two live, town-hall-style meetings featuring a panel of experts and an audience of concerned citizens, hosted by Mark Durocher, Kelly Morgan and Amanda Ceravolo, (l to r) Amanda Ceravolo, Mark Durocher and plus an episode of Ask An Expert. Kelly Morgan served as hosts for “Our Silent Crisis”

The programs were dedicated to all Michiana children who have been victims of child abuse. One Book, One Michiana WNIT again partnered with the St. Joseph County Public Library as part of its ONE BOOK, ONE MICHIANA event. The title of Panelists for the “Our Silent Crisis” program included Candy Yoder, president and CEO of CAPS and Doug Masterson, detective, South this year’s book is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Bend PD (seated) as well as Dr. Tom Soisson, pediatrician, and Judge James Payne, director, CSD (l to r - standing) Conan Doyle and three of its stories were discussed as an episode of our popular DINNER AND A BOOK with Gail Martin and her guest, Doug Farmwald. The dinner portion of the program was “I’d like to thank Gail Martin a true “Sherlockian treat.” for featuring my novel, The Collaborator of Bethlehem, on DINNER AND A BOOK. She and Gabrielle (Robinson) were very appreciative of the novel and what I was trying to accomplish with it—and they also made a very good-looking fattoush! Thanks so very much,” Matt Rees

Matt Rees is a full-time writer who lives in Jerusalem. He saw this episode of DINNER Dinner and a Book host Gail Martin and guest, Doug Farmwald AND A BOOK on YouTube.
