Sculpted by Floods
Much of the landscape of what we now call the Pacific Northwest
was shaped by a geologic catastrophe of nearly biblical
proportions. At the end of the last ice age, glacial
floods swept through the region, leaving behind landforms and
artifacts so unusual that they now seem completely out of
place. This is the story of the Lake Missoula floods, and
how events that took place 15,000 years ago can still mystify
us, captivate our imaginations, and even shape the way we
live.
Runs approx. 60 min.

THE ARCHIVES: |
Bella Vista: An
Unseen View of WWII
Gourmet food. Weekend soccer tournaments. Language classes.
Musicals every Sunday. Summer camp? No…This was Bella Vista, a
World War II internment camp at Fort Missoula, Montana, home to
more than 1,000 Italian civilians. Seized eight months before
Pearl Harbor, these men effectively became the United States’
first – and no doubt luckiest – casualties of the war. It
was, recalls one former internee, "the best two–and–a–half
years of my life."

counter it.

Farragut:
America’s Landlocked Navy
In 1941, the U.S. government selected a remote stretch of land
on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille to build a new naval base.
For nine months, construction crews poured their hearts,
patriotism and sweat into building Farragut Naval Training
Station. More than 22, 000 men worked 10-hour shifts for 13 out
of every 14 days. When the dust finally settled, there stood
barracks, mess halls, medical clinics, offices, chapels,
libraries and movie theaters – 776 buildings in all. At its
peak of operation, from September 1941 until June 1946, Farragut
Naval Training Station was the largest city in Idaho and was
temporary home to more than 300,000 Navy recruits. Today,
all that remains of Farragut are cracked cement foundations, the
brig and two giant water towers. But through archival photos and
the remembrances of those who were there, the base’s glory
days will come alive again in this special KSPS Public
Television documentary. 57 minutes

Reflections by
the River: Expo ’74
The year was 1974…the U.S. was in the thick of the Cold War;
an American president was caught in a web of scandal and
intrigue; and a small city in the Pacific Northwest threw a
celebration—the whole world attended. Twenty years
later, KSPS Public Television looked back on the accomplishment—on
the vision, the people and the monumental effort that turned a
dream into a world-class reality. Now KSPS is pleased to bring
you this special 25th Anniversary home video edition of the
story of the little city that could…and did. 60 minutes

Remember When:
Nat Park
Times seemed simpler then…There were rides, dances, and
amusements. It was a place where families and friends played,
strolled, and picnicked. It was an idyllic place… from the
dance halls to the Midway, with bumper cars and carousel,
miniature trains and trolleys, where "The Jack Rabbit"
and "The Hammer" reigned. From 1889 to 1968,
Natatorium Park was a "Spokane" place to be…where
fondest memories for many generations were born. Journey back to
a Spokane in time and…Remember When: Nat Park. 60

Remembering
Spokane
The zoo at Manito Park…meeting under the clock at The Crescent

it, using their home movies and photo albums. It covers the
period from 1924 to 1974 – the years Spokane survived a world
war and hosted a world fair. We invite you to join us for a
lilac-scented stroll down memory lane in Spokane, the heart of
the Inland Northwest. $24.95

of the Ash

May 18, 1980. Mt. St. Helens captured the attention of the world
with a volcanic display unequaled in modern times. This is not
