Aurora - Fire in the Sky
on Wednesday, February 1,
at 10:00 p.m., examines legends about the origins and meaning of the colorful glow that often brightens the
night sky in Earth’s polar regions. One of the most incredible natural phenomena in the world, the array of colors of the aurora is a source of endless theory
and wonder. What creates such beauty and spectacle? Finland’s Saami, Alaska’s
Inuit, Canada’s Native Americans and New Zealand’s Maori, each have legends
of their own. The film blends scientific research and myth to share the aweinspiring mystery of the aurora. (Photo: Stephen Voss.)
City in the Sky,
airing Wednesdays,
February 8-22, at
10:00 p.m., explores
a unique metropolis,
a midair “city” composed of nearly a million people on flights
that crisscross the
world daily. The series examines just
what it takes to keep
the “city in the sky” functioning and safe between take-off and landing. It covers the building of the world’s biggest passenger plane and controlling the flow
of passengers through the busiest airport on the planet. It also reveals the hidden army of people, complex global networks and astonishing technology that
control 100,000 flights a day and why flying has become safer than ever.
Ruby Ridge on Tuesday, February 14, at 9:00 p.m., examines the 1992 FBI
siege that helped launch the modern militia movement. The film provides a riveting account of the deadly confrontation at Randy Weaver’s secluded home in
Idaho 25 years ago. “Ruby Ridge explores the longstanding debate over individual rights and the responsibilities of
government,” said Mark Samels, American
Experience executive producer. “What is
the relationship between a citizen and the
government? When does the government
perceive a threat, and when do they overreach? What are the limits of personal freedom? These fundamental questions are at
the heart of the events that happened at
Ruby Ridge and are still being asked today.”

We have added a new station to our “growing” Maine
Public Classical network. WRMO 93.7 FM is a powerful
station that serves the Blue Hill, Down East, Ellsworth,
Mt. Desert Island, Bar Harbor and Machias areas. Many
listeners across the bay in Waldo and Knox County areas can
also often now hear Maine Public Classical over the air!
On Maine Public Television, we have launched a new
service for children: the PBS Kids channel. Now, parents
have a 24/7 safe haven for quality educational content for
their kids and a new online streaming component as well!
This channel can be seen over the air and on Time Warner
Cable channel 1277 and Comcast Cable channel 174. PBS
Kids is not available on satellite services. Please see our
channel viewing options opposite this column.
Thanks for keeping things hopping here at Maine Public –

Show YOUR Radio a Little Love...
on Super Thursday February 9!
Our Super Thursday one-day radio membership campaign returns on
Thursday, February 9, and we are counting on all of our listeners (and viewers!)
to help Maine Public reach our fundraising goals that keep all the programming
you enjoy coming to you 24/7. In the past, we would fundraise for an entire week
or more at a time – not so anymore! Not only are there fewer schedule interruptions,
but shorter campaigns also mean lower overhead expenses, so we are using your
pledge dollars even more effectively. Please call 1-800-866-1475 or visit
mainepublic.org on Thursday, February 9, and make a pledge to show your
radio and Maine Public a little love. Thank You! I
Morning Classical’s February
As You Like It!
As winter’s chill holds New England in its icy
grip, a little musical warmth comes to mind. Sergei
Prokofiev’s Winter Bonfire is about a group of
children from Moscow on an outing in the snow.
Conni Ellisor’s Blackberry Winter is a concerto for
Tennessee music box and mountain dulcimer. To
share your opinion on these selections, e-mail us at
[email protected] or leave a message at 207-330-4551. Tune in
on February 3 during Morning Classical Music to hear the winning piece! I
We are ready to take the wheel!
If that dear car that has survived blizzards and searing heat, excited dogs and
crazy cats, kids perhaps, and maybe a move or two just doesn’t have any more
to give you, then perhaps it’s time to give your old love to your other loves –
Maine Public Radio and Maine Public Television!
You can turn your old love into programs that make your heart sing like
Morning Classical Music, Masterpiece, Fresh Air or Charlie Rose… Please
call 1-855-277-2346 to see if your vehicle qualifies. We’ll tow your car at no cost,
and you’ll receive a tax receipt, a Maine Public MemberCard with discounted
benefits and access to Passport, the PBS online streaming library. What a great
deal for you and for your other love – Maine Public! I
THANK YOU Jessica of Sebec again for donating your 2006 Subaru
Outback to Maine Public! Your generosity is very much appreciated.

Maine Public
PBS Kids Channel is ON!
Maine Public is bringing you more of the
great kids’ programs and educational
content that your family loves! Now
you can catch all your favorite kids’
shows like Wild Kratts, Arthur
and Bob the Builder all day,
every day, 24/7 on the new
PBS Kids channel on
Maine Public. We believe
that the educational value
of PBS Kids’ programming
and providing greater accessibility to it, is incredibly
important given the viewing options available to families from other media. PBS Kids’
programming is programming you can trust!
The PBS Kids channel joins our main channel (Maine Public
Television), the Create channel and the World channel for free
over-the-air reception by antenna across Maine. The new channel
is also available over many cable partners. Look at the viewing
grid on Page 4 of this issue of Experience.
For those of you set in a routine
of watching PBS Kids on our main
channel, that schedule and lineup
remains the same. I
Appalachia
n Trail
Hikers Wanted!
Income you
can count on
Maine Public is starting a search across Maine for two individuals planning
to hike the Appalachian Trail together from Georgia to Maine in 2017. We are
calling the initiative “Here to There and Back.” Along their journey, the
hikers will remain connected and engaged with all that is Maine using our
crazy-good Maine Public App. This is not a test of the app itself, but rather
an opportunity to integrate this amazing outdoor experience with our newest
digital offering.
The selected hikers will report on their experiences and, in small part, how the
Maine Public App has helped them remain connected to Maine, providing blog
posts, audio diaries and other content back to the state. While officially on their
own, our intrepid hikers will be provided with gear and resources from folks like
Garmin to help defray the costs of their experience.
So how does one get chosen? Selection criteria will be based largely on how
the aspiring Maine Public hikers believe their trek can be leveraged to improve
or contribute in some way to the greater Maine community. It’s a big journey that
requires an equally large purpose. The sponsor of “Here to There and Back,”
Goodwin Motor Group and their Land Rover lineup, will help in the selection
of the winning team.
Interested? Know someone planning to take on
the AT in 2017? More information is available on
mainepublic.org under our Events tab. I
A moose, a hero, and
a viral sensation!
Over the past holiday, our own
Jeff Mahaney, a transmission
manager here at Maine Public,
spied a large bull moose on a camera feed that was monitoring one of
the station’s many towers. Animal
life around our remote facilities is
not unusual, but this time the moose appeared on camera over multiple days.
Jeff knew that something was wrong. He drove two hours to the location,
donned his snowshoes and walked off-road to the tower site and discovered
that the moose was tangled in abandoned telephone lines.
A call to the state wildlife agency resulted in the moose being tranquilized and
freed from the wires. Jeff, pictured here with the moose, reports that the moose
woke up and “groggily looks at us and wanders off.” A video of the rescue has
been heavily shared over social media and has enjoyed some incredible viewing
numbers. Great job, Jeff! I
and support
for the programs
you love.
Enjoy great
returns with a
charitable
gift annuity.

February 2017 Experience 7
Every week, the Maine Public Community Films series
brings viewers independently produced films that showcase
diverse people, places and the culture of our region.
The Millennial Dream
Thursday, February 23, 10:00 pm;
Saturday, February 25, 11:00 am
What should our audience be on the lookout for when
watching?
Continue to ask yourself as you watch this film, how does
this relate to me, my community, my career, my buying
habits and my education? How do we stay relevant in the new
economy? Is there anything I can do to help my community
make the transition into the new economy?
What were some of the challenges of the film’s production?
The biggest challenge, hands down, was deciding on the
topics. The American Dream is such a huge topic, and the
values that are replacing the American Dream are incredibly complex. We boiled it down to five topics, but it took us
many months to figure out that this film should not present
answers, but rather inspire and empower people to make the
transition gracefully into the new economy.
Experience caught up with the team behind this month’s
featured Maine Public Community Film, The Millennial
Dream.
What was the inspiration for undertaking the film?
We (the filmmakers) live in, and operate out of, a small
industrial corner of Canada called New Brunswick. The
province is experiencing a serious out-migration of young
people which has resulted in a sort of “brain drain” of
young talent and energy from the region. We wanted to
produce a film that helped New Brunswickers (and the
world) think differently about the assets and the liabilities
their region has in today’s rapidly changing world.
We love our home, we understand the changing world
view and value set as we enter the new economy. We want
to help people think differently about what their communities, educational institutions, companies and market look like
as we create the new American Dream... the Millennial Dream.
8 Experience February 2017
What surprised you about the film that you hadn’t
anticipated?
The biggest surprise for us was revealed when we toured
it across Canada and the USA. We thought New Brunswick
was unique in its challenges vs. pride of place... but it is
everywhere. People care about home, they care about the
sustainability of their communities, they care about a
healthy future for their kids and grandkids. The surprise
to us is that the film was not the strongest tool of impact,
it was the dialogue that came out after every screening.
What projects lie ahead?
Our latest project that we are starting to pitch is called
“Grey Wave.” We want to look at the positive angle of the
aging Baby Boomer demographic! I
