The Wonders of Watercolor
KRCB is embarked on a fun and unusual
project with Bodega watercolor artist and
instructor, Annie Murphy Springer. Annie
has long been a supporter of KRCB with
donations of art classes to our auction, but
she wanted to do something more. So she
proposed creating a series for television
on the wonders of watercolor. This from
a person who has never produced a show,
but then, that’s Annie—never afraid to try
something new.
Annie has been many things in her life,
most famously the Fire Chief for the town
of Bodega.
Now she is turning her laser focus on pro-
ducing this series, appropriately titled The
Wonders of Watercolor. She is working with a
very talented producer, Seth Friesen.
Our first step is to create a series of short form, 90-second programs, each one providing a
tip to successful watercolor painting.
Seth and Annie are at work on this phase, choosing locations around Sonoma County at
which to demonstrate the tips, and actively seeking donors to complete phase one. Annie
specializes in plein aire painting so we’ll have a lovely tour of the County while she teaches
those techniques.
Our intention is to air and distribute this series to other PBS stations around California
and beyond. The second phase will be to produce a pilot for a series of half hour shows.
Once that is complete, we will begin approaching major funders to secure sponsors for this
series which will be distributed nationally. Watch for Seth and Annie out shooting, and
watch for The Wonders of Watercolor on a PBS station near you! And check out Annie’s work

Dear Member,
Last month we told you about KRCB’s planned Future Search conference, led by Saul
Eisen, founder of Sonoma State University’s Master’s Program in Organization
Development. As we go to print we are in the midst of an intensely provocative conversa-
tion seeking to define the future of public broadcasting/public media in Northern
California. By the time you read this, we expect to have posted (at krcb.org) a report on
the conference and the initial action plans identified. We are determined to not let the
future overtake us and to do our best to chart a course to best serve community even
through tumultuous times in the communications and telecommunications industries.
We’ll keep you informed.
I think you will find, as you review the programs planned for September, a remarkable
array of programs in several different genres. American Experience on
Sundays (the 5th, the 12th, and the 19th) at 8 pm presents three
powerful films on the Native American experience. Several other
shows also spotlight human and civil rights with a Conversation
with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on the 19th, and Charles Moore: I Fight
With My Camera on the 22nd.
Finally, several really interesting shows on food and food
systems which are working, or not. You’ll find more infor-
mation on page 9.
Enjoy, because you make it happen!
Sincerely,
Nancy Dobbs
President and CEO

We Shall Remain: American Experience continues in September
Trail of Tears
The Cherokee would call it Nu-No-Du-Na Tlo-Hi-
Lu, “The Trail Where They Cried.” On May 26, 1838,
federal troops forced thousands of Cherokee from their
homes in the southeastern United States, driving them
toward Indian Territory in eastern Oklahoma. More
than 4,000 died of disease and starvation along the way.
For years, the Cherokee had resisted removal from
their land in every way they knew. Cherokee leaders
established a European-style legislature and legal system,
and many Cherokee became Christian and adopted westernized education for their children.
Their visionary chief, John Ross, would even take the Cherokee case to the Supreme Court,
where he won crucial recognition of tribal sovereignty.
Though in the end the Cherokees’ embrace of “civilization” and their landmark legal
victory proved no match for white land hunger and military power, the Cherokee people
were able to build a new life in Oklahoma. Sunday, September 5 at 8 pm
Geronimo
In February of 1909, Chiricahua Apache medicine man Geronimo lay on his deathbed. He
summoned his nephew to his side, whispering, “I should never have surrendered. I should
have fought until I was the last man alive.” It was an admission of regret from a man whose
pursuit of military resistance in the face of overwhelming odds confounded not only his
Mexican and American enemies, but many of his fellow Apaches as well. Born around 1820,
Geronimo grew into a leading warrior and healer. After his tribe was relocated to an Arizona
reservation in 1872, Geronimo became a focus of the fury of terrified white settlers. To his
supporters, he remained the embodiment of proud resistance. To other Apaches, especially
those who had come to see the white man’s path as the only viable road, Geronimo was a
stubborn troublemaker, unbalanced by his unquenchable thirst for vengeance, whose actions
needlessly brought the enemy’s wrath down on his own people. The final holdouts,
Geronimo and his tiny band of Chiricahua, became the last Native American fighting force
to capitulate formally to the government of the United States.
Sunday, September 12 at 8 pm
Wounded Knee
On February 27, 1973, fifty-four cars rolled into a small hamlet on the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation. Within hours, some 200 Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement (AIM)
activists had seized the few major buildings in town and police had cordoned off the area.
The occupation of Wounded Knee had begun. Demanding redress for grievances—some
going back more than 100 years—the protesters captured the world’s attention for 71 grip-
ping days. In telling the story of this iconic moment, the final
episode of We Shall Remain will examine the broad political
and economic forces that led to the emergence of AIM in the
late 1960s as well as the immediate events—a murder and an
apparent miscarriage of justice—that triggered the takeover.
Though the federal government failed to make good on many
of the promises that ended the siege, the event succeeded in
bringing the desperate conditions of Indian reservation life to
the nation’s attention. Sunday, September 19 at 8 pm

Climate One Commonwealth Club Forum for September
Segment 1:
Shai Agassi wants to tip a $3 trillion market—the market for miles. Agassi, the CEO and
Founder of Better Place, plans to end oil’s stranglehold on the global economy by offering
consumers access to miles in electric cars that will be cheaper, and more convenient, than the
gasoline-powered cars they replace. Oh, and he thinks the market will tip by 2020.
Segment 2:
Joe Romm, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, says climate change is “the
transcendental issue of our time” and will “swallow” all other issues.
“By the 2020s, it’s going to be the driving force behind all national and international
energy, economic, environmental, and political policy,” he said.
Romm says more R&D into new technologies is needed however what is needed most is
an international price on carbon pollution to drive innovation and a move toward cleaner
energy.
Segment 3:
Congressman Ed Markey authored the only national climate law to pass either chamber of
Congress. But the Senate has shelved action on climate, leaving many to wonder what
happens next.
Will cities and states now pick up the slack? Will Congress agree on a more modest climate
step? Will California continue its recent efforts on clean energy or take a new course after the
November election? How would a new approach impact the national energy debate?

Radiolab begins a new season
September 14 – Oops
Oops. It’s what you say when your carefully laid plans hop the tracks. In this
episode, Radiolab dives headlong into stories of unintended consequences—
from a psychologist whose zeal to safeguard national security may have created
a terrorist, to a toxic lake that, against all odds, gave birth to life.
September 21 – Words
What would life be like without words? Without language? Radiolab explores
the words in our head and how they change the way we think. We talk to a
woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life and ask a
neurologist what happened when a stroke wiped out the language center of
her brain.
September 28 – Falling
There are so many ways to fall—falling in
love, falling asleep, even falling flat on your
face. In an episode full of falling music,
Radiolab plunges into a black hole, takes
a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and debunks some
myths about falling cats.
Tuesdays at 7 pm

Located at the crossroads of Sonoma County and in the heart of
downtown Sebastopol, Sonoma County Repertory Theater is an
intimate setting for extraordinary storytelling. It is dedicated to the
pursuit of artistic excellence through originality and imagination.
Each season, it presents five productions in their indoor space on Main
Street, as well as two outdoor productions during its annual Sebastopol
Shakespeare Festival.
The Sebastopol Shakespeare Festival has been a local favorite for the past 17 years and plays
to over 4,000 patrons annually. It is considered a summer staple for the residents of West
County and tourists alike.
Sonoma County Repertory Theater is also home to critically acclaimed education pro-
grams, which are designed to allow children to experience the positive life affirming effects
of theater during a critical period of their maturation. Each year, Sonoma County Repertory
Theater reaches over 1,000 students through its Young Actors Conservatory, Rep on Tour,
and Artist Residencies programs. Just this past year the company received a $25,000 match-
ing grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to tour its production of The Tempest to
West County schools.
Sonoma County Repertory Theater is a thriving center for theater that inspires and en-
riches a diverse audience by producing classic and contemporary plays, as well as providing
education and engagement programs designed to foster creativity, inclusivity and economic
vitality in the North Bay.
The box office is open Tuesday – Saturday, noon – 4 pm. The Rep can be reached by phone
at (707) 823-0177 or on the web at www.the-rep.com.
