The Hays Daily News
What's so special about a day camp for kids in Viola? What's so special about an old house in Russell? What's so special about a 64,000 square foot museum on a back road outside Salina? Find out when the fourth season of Smoky Hills Public Television's weekly, magazine-style series "Kansas Spotlight" continues at 7 p.m. Thursday.
In the feature segment of the program, "Spotlight" visits Camp Hyde near Viola and discovers how a camp experience helps not only deaf and hard-of-hearing children, but also their hearing friends and relatives. The camp is sponsored by the state's Lions Clubs in conjunction with the Wichita YMCA.
In addition, "Spotlight" tours the oldest "post rock" house in Russell -- the Gernon House, fully restored to the period of the 1890s. Step up to the house on original limestone sidewalks and enter the front parlor where you will step back in time - imagine the merry tunes playing on the piano, a baby being rocked to sleep in the cradle, pumping water at the cistern out back, mother running her treadle sewing machine, the girls playing with their china dolls and the boys enjoying a game of checkers.
"Spotlight" also explores the Museum at Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure west of Salina. The journey figuratively takes viewers around the world to experience the delicate symmetry between humans, animals and nature in seven unique regions from the arctic to the rainforest. A 13-week series featuring the people, places, events and issues of central and western Kansas,
"Kansas Spotlight" is scheduled to air Thursdays at 7 p.m. with an encore presentation Sundays at 6:30 p.m. through mid-May, according to Mary Pat Waymaster, the station's director of broadcasting. The series is being co-produced by Bryan Dennett and Rodrigo Lopez. Smoky Hills Public Television produces between 50-60 hours of Kansas-related programming each year.
Smoky Hills Public Television serves 70 counties in Kansas and one county in Nebraska. It is available on 120 cable systems and DirecTV and the Dish Network, which includes coverage in the Hutchinson and Wichita areas. More information on Smoky Hills Public Television and its programs and projects is available by calling (785) 483-6990 or at Smoky Hills Public Television Home.
