The Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park
In December of 1987, “The Moving Wall” — a replica of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, arrived in Pensacola and was displayed for five days. When it came time for the wall to travel on, some of the veterans who had stood vigil while the wall was in town, decided it was time Pensacola have a permanent monument to honor Vietnam vets. It was the start of a vision, the beginning of a tribute to those who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces. With the help and support of family, friends, service members, and community and business leaders, their dream became a reality and the Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park was established on Bayfront Parkway. Today, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial is there, and over the years, the park grew to include mon

The Music Instinct
This documentary provides a groundbreaking exploration into how and why the human organism is moved by music. New work in neuroscience is giving us clues to the mysteries of how and why music penetrates the brain and the emotions. The program follows visionary researchers and accomplished musicians to the crossroads of science and culture in search of answers to music’s deep mysteries. The program includes compelling performances by world-famous performers, in genres from rock to classical, such as Bobby McFerrin, Yo-Yo Ma, Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley, and Evelyn Glennie.

Masterpiece Mystery!
Poirot! Cat Among the Pigeons
David Suchet (Henry VIII, The Way We Live Now) returns to his signature role as suave Belgian supersleuth Hercule Poirot in two new mysteries based on the novels by Agatha Christie. Whether he’s on holiday abroad, taking a countryside break or simply going about his business near his central London home, Poirot finds himself exercising his “little grey cells” by helping police investigate crimes and murders, whether they ask for his help or not. Poirot tackles an intriguing and dangerous murder case involving international espionage, a Middle-Eastern revolution and a missing princess. The surviving heir to a Middle-Eastern throne is hidden away from revolutionaries in a small English girl’s school, but when — one by one — teachers are found murdered; it seems the school may not be such a haven for the princess after all.

mondays beginning june 22 8 p.m.
History Detectives
History Detectives returns to explore the stories behind historic sites, artifacts and tall tales told in cities across the country, with the help of an inquisitive team of fact-finders with an uncanny talent for uncovering the truth. In the opening episode of this series a couple in Cincinnati acquire a peculiar phonograph called “PsychoPhone.” The contributors think Thomas Edison invented the PsychoPhone to record messages from the afterlife. Host Tukufu Zuberi travels to Cat Island near Gulfport, Mississippi, and Fort Lee in Virginia to investigate why the military were investigating a man named Prestre. In the final story on the new series, Eduardo Pagan, leads an expedition that reveals an especially wild chapter of the American West. History Detectives repeats on the following Saturdays at 4 p.m.

tue, june 30 7 p.m.
NOVA
Musical Minds
Through the remarkable case studies from neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks’ latest book, Musicophilia, NOVA investigates the extraordinary impact music can have on the human brain, traveling around the globe to meet people like Tony Cicoria, who was struck by lightning and was suddenly inspired to become a pianist. And Matt Giordano, who uses drumming to alleviate his severe Tourette syndrome. NOVA even peers deep into the brain of Dr. Sacks himself for a rare glimpse of what makes minds musical.

WSRE Debuts PBS KIDS GO! Online Video Player, Early Elementary School Kids Can Explore New Worlds Anytime They Want

WSRE is proud to announce a new learning tool available on its website at wsre.org/KidsGo. WSRE’s website is giving early elementary school-aged kids across our region more to explore with the launch of an advertising-free, streaming video player offering hundreds of video clips and dozens of full-length episodes. Also included with the video player are in-video gaming capabilities that are embedded in the popular curriculum-based series. These games foster greater learning comprehension and enhance the digital experience for early elementary school children. Now kids can watch what they want, when they want and play cool games — but don’t tell them it’s educational.

The PBS KIDS GO! video player showcases content from 14 different PBS KIDS GO! broadcast properties primarily serving children ages 6 to 8, an audience with limited age-appropriate media choices. Properties include ANIMALIA, ARTHUR, CYBERCHASE, DESIGN SQUAD, DRAGONFLYTV, FETCH! WITH RUFF RUFFMAN, KIDS WORLD SPORTS, KRATTS CREATURES, MARTHA SPEAKS, MAYA & MIGUEL, POSTCARDS FROM BUSTER, WISHBONE, WORDGIRL and ZOOM. Series featuring game capabilities include ARTHUR, FETCH! WITH RUFF RUFFMAN, CYBERCHASE and WORDGIRL. THE ELECTRIC COMPANY and other series will feature this option in the coming months.A rotating, consistently-updated set of featured clips changes each week. The clips focus on new shows and episodes, as well as on a variety of seasonal and thematic clip channels based on kids interests including, for example, Robots, Friends and Gross. Kids can also find sneak peeks of new shows, full screen video, closed captioning, and Spanish audio tracks on selected clips and episodes, as well as give favorite shows a recommendation trophy and share videos with friends. “In addition to our normal broadcast offerings, we are tailoring the resources we have available to the way today’s children learn. That means making our content available via multiple platforms and on a schedule convenient for kids,” says Jill Hubbs, WSRE Director of Educational Services.

Sara DeWitt, senior director of PBS KIDS, said, “Kids have a passion for these programs, so were thrilled to provide them with 24/7 access to both new shows and PBS long-time favorites. This exciting new player offers age-appropriate content that both educates and entertains a young audience that is often underserved by our commercial competitors, especially online.”

“CPB is pleased to support this important, innovative effort which uses new technology to expand the access and reach of the quality educational programming public broadcasting is known for, to this very important age group,” said Michael Fragale, vice president of Education for CPB.

PBS KIDS GO! is an educational multimedia destination specifically designed for early elementary school kids which debuted online and as an afternoon program block on PBS member stations in October 2004. PBS KIDS worked closely with early elementary school kids and industry experts to create this destination for an audience with limited choices for media content that is both fun and educational. With engaging, smart age-appropriate content and a fun, quirky setting, PBS KIDS GO! empowers kids to discover themselves, define the diverse world around them, explore new relationships and embrace a love of learning.

Nashville Recording Artist Will Hedgecock Returns to the Saenger Theatre

Native Pensacolian Will Hedgecock will perform in concert September 19 at the historical and newly renovated Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola. The show will be taped in high definition to air on local PBS TV Station WSRE in the fall, and a portion of net proceeds will be donated to support the work of WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast, in the local community. The concert will feature the Nashville recording artist performing songs from his recently released album “Reflections” including timeless Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary standards, as well as classical and Broadway favorites. Musical arrangements for the concert will be designed by the legendary arranger Bergen White.

Hedgecock’s new album was produced by music industry veteran, Larry Butler. Butler, the first — and only — Nashville producer to win the coveted Grammy Award for “Producer Of The Year,” has shaped the careers of superstars Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, John Denver and others. Many will remember Hedgecock from the Rebuild Northwest Florida benefit concert after Hurricane Ivan, which helped to raise $100,000 for storm victims.

Tickets won’t be on sale for some time, but WSRE viewers can get a jump on the best seats by watching and supporting the station with a donation this Sunday, May 31 at 7 and 9 p.m. when “An Evening with Will Hedgecock” will air on WSRE. This program features the young talent during the 2005 hurricane benefit concert. Funds raised will be used to help support the mission of WSRE and to provide more original programming for the community to enjoy. For more information, call WSRE (850) 484-1240.
