A program guide for members of Prairie Public Broadcasting January February2013 2013
In 1982,
Judge Bruce Van Sickle issued a series of orders that changed how North Dakota cares for its citizens with developmental disabilities. Hundreds of children and adults left the overcrowded institutions in San Haven and Grafton to find homes in communities across the state. Thirty years later, Prairie Public is reviewing the historical context and investigating the outcome of that reformation. I Am A Person talks with the people who have been most affected by the change—to explore what is possible when people with developmental disabilities are provided with the care they need to live full and happy lives, and to build awareness about how they contribute to their communities through their work and social capital. Tune in Wednesday, February 20, at 8:00 p.m. (CT)

“We tend to support efforts that promote home and family values. This includes sewing. Sewing is a passion for the majority of our customers with many of them giving away the quilt or embroidered item they have worked so diligently to produce. Like our store, Prairie Public Broadcasting promotes home and family values. Consequently, we proudly support sewing programs on Prairie Public. Simply put, Prairie Public Broadcasting presents a great way to reach our present customers and invest in that new sewer who may just be getting started with their hobby.” Jim Barnhardt

And it’s an everchanging program—adjusting daily to meet the needs of listeners and to keep perspectives fresh. Get to know these NPR reporters— some of whom are shifting roles to keep perspectives fresh. Robert Siegel is senior host of All Things Considered. With 40 years of experience working in radio news, Siegel is still at it hosting the country’s most-listened-to, afternoon-drive-time news radio program and reporting on stories and happenings all over the globe. Melissa Block is a 26-year veteran of NPR and has been hosting All Things Considered since 2003, after nearly a decade as an NPR correspondent. Michele Norris has a new role as a Host/Special Correspondent at NPR. She’ll produce signature profiles of leaders in politics, pop culture, and business. During a recent sabbatical, Michele developed NPR’s Backseat Book Club and The Race Card Project, which she created to foster a wider conversation about race after her 2010 family memoir, The Grace of Silence, was published. She will continue this work while producing in-depth segments for all NPR programs. With Michele taking on this new role, Audie Cornish will step in permanently as NPR’s All Things Considered host. Audie’s experience on Capitol Hill made her an especially valuable presence covering the 2012 election. Now, as a welcome and familiar voice to listeners, she rounds out the host lineup with Robert Siegel and Melissa Block. In turn, Rachel Martin will stay on as host of Weekend Edition Sunday. Before she began hosting, Rachel was our National Security Correspondent and draws on a decade of experience reporting all over the world.
