  Good morning and welcome to KidNuz. I’m Tori. Today is Friday, August 23rd, 2019 and we begin with… .. a second disaster for the world’s most famous ship. New video from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean shows the historic wreckage of the Titanic in a shocking state of deterioration. Metal- eating bacteria, corrosion and currents have all but destroyed the entire starboard side, including the captain’s quarters and his legendary bath tub. The Titanic, which had been dubbed ‘unsinkable’, was making its very first voyage, from England to New York City, when it collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14th, 1912. Just two hours and 40 minutes later, it was at the bottom of the sea. Divers working on a new documentary recently made five trips to the wreckage – their first in nearly 15 years. Historians and scientists are a bit sad to see the Titanic disappear, but they say it’s simply returning to nature and inevitable. An increasing number of schools are dialing up a big surprise for students this new school year.  Being handed out with textbooks is a pouch which looks a whole lot like a ziplock baggie. Each and every morning, students drop their cell phones into the baggie, where the phone stays magnetically locked until the afternoon bell rings. It’s called a Yondr pouch, the brainchild of a San Francisco start-up determined to help create phone-free zones so kids can break free from their screens and actually ‘talk’ to each other. In case of an emergency, every classroom has the unlocking code, which then opens the pouch for all students within minutes. In Political news, The democratic race for the White House is a little less crowded this morning. Washington State Governor Jay Inslee has ended his campaign for President because he says it’s clear he wouldn’t win. Mr. Inslee made combating climate change his top priority, but never got the national attention or support he needed to climb in the polls. His exit still leaves 22 democrats in the race. On the Republican side, two more potential candidates are toying with challenging President Trump. Ohio Governor John Kasich will reportedly visit New Hampshire – a key state in early campaigning – next month. And Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford hasn’t ruled out a bid either. File this under anti-climactic. The 300th anniversary of a New England town’s “Old Home Day” celebration was to include the much-hyped opening of a 50-year-old time capsule. But when the Londonderry town historian decided to check the contents before the big reveal, they found “nothing.” Literally nothing. The capsule, which was a glorified safe, was empty. Longtime residents who remember the sealing swear that – at one point- there were things in there, like a driving tour of the town, interviews with local leaders, and maybe even some artifacts from astronaut Alan Shephard. So now the big disappointment is a big who dunnit. Who took the contents and how did they crack the code? Well the ‘who’ may never be known but the ‘how’ is a no brainer. The combination was written on the back of the safe. “Be all you can be”.. but you better get a haircut first. That was the Army’s message to 23-year-old Reynaldo Arroyo who hadn’t been to a barber in 15 years. His long black tresses ran all the way down his back. But rules are rules and Arroyo really wanted to enlist. So he sat in the chair and watched 150 inches, which is 12 and a half feet, of hair fall to the floor. Arroyo is donating all he cut to the Locks of Love Foundation, an organization that makes high quality hair pieces for kids who need them. And that’s it for KidNuz. Now the KidNuz Quiz: What famous shipwreck is deteriorating faster than expected? The Titanic, which sank on April 14th, 1912. What is being handed out with textbooks at many schools this year? The Yondr pouch, which locks student cell phones for the entire day. How many Democrats are still in the race for the Presidential nomination? 22. Washington Governor Jay Inslee is the latest to drop out. What was inside a 50-year-old time capsule in a New England town? Nothing, absolutely nothing. And we’re going up and over a freeway in one for the road this morning: California transportation experts and conservationists are in the final stages of building the world’s largest animal bridge. It will stretch 200 feet above 10 lanes of Highway 101 in Agoura Hills near Los Angeles. From the animals’ eye view, the crossing will be full of shrubs, trees and rocks – and look exactly like their habitat on either side. The face of the campaign to build the bridge is P-22: a mountain lion referred to as the “Brad Pitt of the Cougar World.” P-22 is reportedly world famous, having been photographed many times with the Hollywood sign as a backdrop. Before we send you off for the weekend, we want to give a big KidNuz shout out to Advait of Ellington, Connecticut who celebrates a birthday this Sunday. Thanks for listening everybody and we hope you tune back in for more KidNuz on Monday morning!     The post 08.23.2019 appeared first on KidNuz....moreCopy Link

Leonard Marcus is back with a new podcast episode of What Becomes a Classic? This time he’s heading to the Museum of the City of New York to meet with Morgen Stevens-Garmon, curator of A City for Corduroy: Don Freeman’s New York. The exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of CORDUROY! Morgan shows us some of Don Freeman’s amazing artwork and offers insight into the way his time in New York City forever shaped his work and storytelling.Watch this episode of What Becomes a Classic? About the BookDon Freeman’s classic character, Corduroy, is even more popular today then he was when he first came on the scene in 1968. This story of a small teddy bear waiting on a department store shelf for a child’s friendship has appealed to young readers generation after generation.About LeonardLeonard’s pathfinding writings and exhibitions have earned him acclaim as one of the world’s preeminent authorities on children’s books and the people who create them. He is the author of more than 20 award-winning biographies, histories, interview collections, and inside looks at the making of children’s literature’s enduring classics. His reviews and commentary have been featured in the New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, The Horn Book, and on numerous radio and television programs including Good Morning America, All Things Considered, PBS NewsHour, BBC Radio 4, CBC As It Happens, Beijing Television, and Radio New Zealand, among others.From The Museum of the City of NY: A CITY FOR CORDUROY: DON FREEMAN’S NEW YORK Best known today as the creator of the lovable teddy bear Corduroy, Don Freeman (1908–1978) spent over 20 years depicting New York City and its residents before becoming a children’s book author. He moved to New York from California in 1928—just shy of his 20th birthday—with little more than a few sketching supplies and a trumpet. Soon he was using his income from trumpet gigs to fund his studies at the famous Art Students League. Freeman sketched everything he saw, wherever he was. His eye was profoundly democratic, embracing the varied characters and street life of New York. He was also a lifelong lover of the stage, and his theater sketches launched his illustration career when his first drawing was published in the New York Herald Tribune’s drama section on October 14, 1928. After the Depression hit, Freeman found work as an artist for the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project. He created his own magazine, Newsstand, to serve as a more personal outlet for his drawings and lithographs of the city. In 1951 Freeman published his first children’s book, co-authored with his wife and fellow artist, Lydia Cooley. Freeman would go on to author and illustrate nearly 40 books for children, including the groundbreaking Corduroy. A City for Corduroy: Don Freeman’s New York documents the artist’s love for his adopted home. Focused on moments of quiet and clamor, drama and humor, Don Freeman illustrated the humanity of the great metropolis—a big place where even a small, stuffed bear can find a friend.CITY LIFE When he first arrived in New York in 1928, Don Freeman eked out a living playing trumpet at night and took classes at the Art Students League during the day. At the League, he studied under famed Ashcan School artist John Sloan, who became a lifelong friend and mentor. He also took his first class on lithography and immediately fell in love with the printing process. Freeman found that “the lithographic medium fitted my temperament to a T-square… it set me to work translating into prints all the random sketches I had gathered about town.” His prints and illustrations were published in The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, and Life magazine. Freeman was an enthusiastic observer of life in his adopted city. The human drama of New York—its dense streets packed with people—enthralled him, and he wandered the city filling his sketchbooks with what he saw. Every person, no matter their race, age, or economic status, was essential to the beauty of New York. He believed that “Being part of this seething, turbulent, fabulous family [of New Yorkers] was a privilege that brought with it a living proof… that all people could live together if they but would.” Freeman’s paintings, drawings, watercolors, and lithographs capture the city’s still, isolated moments as well as its energy and chaos.STAGE LIFE Don Freeman came to New York to study art, but he could not escape the lure of another early love: the theater. Fascinated by the drama and spectacle of the New York stage, the penniless young artist turned into “a Broadway beachcomber,” searching the sidewalks and lobbies of theaters for ticket stubs that he could use to gain entry during intermission. One night, with the help of a popsicle seller who catered to the chorus during intermission, he slipped backstage. From this special vantage point, he set about capturing moments that were hidden from the audience’s view, revealing the methods behind theater’s magic and the backstage workers who made it possible. After Freeman sold his first theater caricature to the New York Herald Tribune for its Sunday drama section, his drawings started appearing in the New York World, Theatre Magazine, and other publications. He also found work illustrating theatrical posters and programs. “It was almost unbelievable to me that such a privilege could also be a way of earning a living,” he remarked, “seeing the plays and being paid for it at the same time.” Freeman carried his passion for the stage into his later career as a children’s book author. His books Pet of the Met (1953) and Hattie the Backstage Bat (1970) are set in the much-loved spaces he knew so well.CONNECT WITH LEONARDWebsite | Twitter| FacebookCONNECT WITH KidLit TV Facebook | Instagram | Newsletter | Pinterest | Twitter | YouTubeExecutive Producer: Julie Gribble The post KidLit RADIO: What Becomes a Classic?
