Railway Adventures Across Canada "Frontiers on the West"
tonight @ 7pm/8mtn
Travel from
Alberta to British Columbia and the Yukon, then through the Queen Charlotte
Islands to end the journey in Vancouver Island. On board the Rocky Mountaineer,
Whistler Northwind, Skeena and Malahat Dayliner venture deep into the wilds of
Canada. Follow the routes of the early pioneers through spectacular mountain
ranges, past huge glaciers and alongside rugged canyons and raging rivers.
Highlights: Canadian Rockies - Vancouver - Kluane National Park - Pacific Rim
National Park - Fort Edmonton - Elk Island - Victoria
Lake Wobegon - where the women are strong, the men are good looking and all the
children are above average - has become America's collective hometown, visited
weekly for the past 40 years on a fictional radio program that creates bona fide
nostalgia. With his “Prairie Home Companion,” Keillor became our national
philosopher, filling the empty shoes of Will Rogers and Mark Twain, through his
running commentary about the human condition and the social politic. With biting
wit, a quirky perspective and an uncanny ability to home in on the pulse of
America, Keillor's themes and characters are somehow familiar to us all.

PBS presents a preview of the new Ken Burns film
The
National Parks: America's Best Idea. The 12-hour,
six-part documentary series, directed by Burns and
co-produced with his longtime colleague, Dayton
Duncan, is the story of
an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of
Independence and just as radical: that the most
special places in the nation should be preserved,
not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone.
400 Years of the Telescope
Thurs @ 7pm/8mtn
This program takes viewers on a
sweeping journey from 1609, when Galileo revealed mankind's place in the galaxy,
to today's
quests to discover new worlds in the infinite universe. Narrated by NOVA's Neil
deGrasse
Tyson, the program goes on an adventure through the heavens and around the
globe, visiting
the world's leading astronomers, cosmologists and observatories, providing
viewers with a
survey of possible astronomical discoveries waiting for mankind.
This special ‘town hall’
Community Forum focuses on ways to access health
care in these trying economic times. Layoffs are
leaving many families uninsured and vulnerable
to bankrupting medical emergencies. Even those
with jobs are often unable to afford medical insurance.
What help is available from
government, business and health care providers? We
examine the problem and provide a phone bank —
staffed during and immediately after the telecast —
to give viewers the chance to speak to expert
counselors for personal assistance with finding health care.
