LIFEAPES RETIRE

IN FLORIDA TOOby Dayna Harpster

The movie star I met last week must have sensed I was a member of the media, because his reaction was not an offer to sign an autograph or a polite hey-how-are-you. Instead, he went to the fountain he always drank

from, got a mouthful of water and spit it on me.And I laughed. Because this was no ordinary movie star. It was Mowgli, a

chimpanzee who was in the feature film Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen and had been a regular on the Dennis Miller Show. And he’s a goofball: Playing with water is one of his favorite activities. He also likes looking at pictures in magazines.

Since 2005, Mowgli has been a resident – and that’s what founder Patti Ragan and the 14 others who care for the chimps and orangutans call them – of the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula. On its 120 acres are 12 three-story domed enclosures where the 28 chimps and 15 orangutans run, climb and swing. Each has his or her own “bedroom,” which consists of a hammock for sleeping and usually a bench. Three other enclosures are available for quarantining new residents and one is equipped for handicapped and geriatric apes.

The annual budget for the nonprofit is $1.6 million, all raised in private donations. Ragan said she spends $1,200 a week on produce alone. Each resident costs about $20,000 a year to house.

Visiting is limited to members (at $50 a year or more an individual is admitted on two scheduled open-house days a year; higher donation amounts include a few other visitation options but access is still limited). This preserves the “retirement” atmosphere for the residents, who do not have to perform or be on display, and can choose where they want to go and what they want to do.

The most remarkable feature at the sanctuary is the overhead tunnel. A 1½ -mile mesh chute system connects the habitats and runs through the entire forested property including above a creek, allowing the residents to walk or run virtually anywhere they want to go. “This way, too, they can walk to doctor’s appointments and walk home,” said Ragan.

And they do seem to grasp concepts and commands the way, say, a 3-year-old toddler might. Ragan drove me around the property in a golf cart recently, and we stopped for a minute while she told me about Noelle, a chimp who knows about 25 words of American Sign Language. “Watch, I’ll ask her what she had for breakfast,” Ragan said.

But Ragan didn’t have to ask. Noelle had been eavesdropping. She was already holding her arms up, tapping an elbow with the fingers of her other hand. “That’s ‘biscuit,’” Ragan said. Noelle held one hand to her chin. “And ‘apple.’ ‘Banana,’” Ragan translated.

“What else did you eat, Noelle?” she asked.“Flower,” Noelle signed. The apes like to eat hibiscus and ginger flowers, Ragan explained, which

are two of the more than two dozen edible plants on the property. But every day in the on-site nutrition center, tubs of fresh fruits and vegetables are filled according to each ape’s needs and preferences supplementing the nutrient-rich zoo formulas they eat.

Watch WGCU HDTVThe Nazi Games – Berlin 1936 Tuesday, Aug. 2 @ 8 pm, followed by American Experience: The Boys of ’36Tuesday, Aug. 2 @ 9 pm.

The 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, stand out in the history of the international competition. As the contests begin in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this month – on this 80th anniversary year of the Berlin Olympiad – PBS is marking the occasion with a couple of documentaries. Locally, several items in The Holocaust Museum & Educational Center of Southwest Florida contain images and text about this unique time in Olympic life.

Berlin was chosen as the Olympics site in 1931 during the time of the Weimar Republic, and concerns arose about this decision after the Nazi Party came to power in 1933. The International Olympic Committee began addressing this internally with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the anti-Semitic policies. The committee’s worries eventually were placated by assurances that Jewish athletes could participate and the United States was accepting the invitation to the games.

How Hitler’s propaganda machine helped define the modern games

OLYMPICS see page 24

As the following story details, the 1936 Summer Games were unique. Most notably, African-American athlete Jesse Owens’ standout performances mocked Adolf Hitler’s ideas of Aryan supremacy. But a documentary this month asserts that although we may consider the

circumstances unsavory today, many aspects of Olympics pageantry began with Hitler’s Germany and the International Olympic Committee in 1936.

Olympic competition was broadcast on television for the first time that summer. The torch relay from Greece to the site of the games began that summer. What the filmmakers call the “gigantism” of host city efforts started with huge construction projects for those contests (and many workers lost their lives in the hurry to completion). Nazi ideology was downplayed.

For proof that much surrounding this competition was propaganda, infamous Nazi sympathizer Leni Riefenstahl’s film Olympia was released two years later.

In 1936, Nazi involvement made games controversial

Forensic or faux?

By Dayna Harpster

Watch WGCU HDTVThe TunnelSundays, Aug. 7, 14 and 21@ 10:30 pm


T here is art, and there is forensics. And the twain do meet on the small screen. Not always, but often enough, according to

Heather Walsh-Haney, a forensic anthropologist and associate professor and program leader for Florida Gulf Coast University’s Department of Justice Studies.

We wanted to know specifically about The Tunnel, the British police procedural continuing this month. What’s real and what’s TV magic? Since Walsh-Haney is a consultant to eight Florida med-ical examiners and has been principal investigator for more than 500 forensic anthropology cases, we took our question to her and asked her to screen the first episode.

(Spoiler Alert: If you have not seen Episodes 1- 7, watch them @ wgcu.org/tv.)

In the first few minutes of The Tunnel, which debuted in June, a prominent French politician is found dead on the border between France and the U.K. Something about the body also is discovered right away: It’s really two halves of different people divided at their torsos. The parts are di-vided right on the line between the countries, “forcing the French and British police into an uneasy partnership,” accord-ing to press materials.

While it seems common in crime shows for detectives and examiners to engage in turf wars over who is in charge, there’s far more cooperation than that in the real world, Walsh-Haney said. “My experience is that agencies in the United States try to facilitate the work we do with each other,” she said. If there are territory questions, there are clear rules for working them out.

Having served as a consultant for episodes of CSI and Bones – as well as a recurring host on the Discovery Channel’s Mummy Autopsy about a decade ago – she is familiar with the concessions made by directors when science and entertainment collide. “Remember this is for the telly,” she recalls the Mummy director often saying. That’s why white lab coats were out (the camera needs color!) and cov-ering their faces with protective gear as is protocol in the real world was a no-no in TV-land.

So when the medical examiner in The Tunnel performed an autopsy without gloves and then reached for a pen, Walsh-Haney wasn’t surprised. But that lack of protective gear doesn’t happen in professional situations.

What’s more, she said, her colleagues are con-tinually concerned about the expectations people have from television that cases are always solved and done so quickly. In fact they call it the “CSI effect.” But Walsh-Haney looks at this phenomenon a bit differently. People have learned a great deal about the basics of an investigation from watching these shows, and therefore if something happens to a family member they often know what questions to ask. And the truth is, to solve a lingering case there must be relentless involvement by the family, she said.

Because as experts contin-ually receive new cases, they naturally focus less on the older ones. Time and limited funding make that nearly inevitable. “We allocate funds for the liv-ing before we allocate for the dead,” Walsh-Haney said.

So in addition to about 25 hours per week spent teaching and 25 hours working in the field, usually with the graduate students she supervises, Walsh-Haney spends service hours consulting on cases as needed.

Confronting the horror of what human beings are capable of doing to one another is possible because her goal is to work toward change, one case at a time. “I think of the positives,” she said. “What can come out of this? For instance, how is this going to influence the way we treat domestic violence cases? How is this going to help us make sure innocent people are exonerated?”

Another thing that does not happen is the investigator being dragged into the storyline. In The Tunnel, “As the serial killer uses ever more elaborate and ingenious methods to highlight the moral bankruptcy of modern society, (the de-tectives) are drawn deeper into his increasingly personal agenda.”

Entertainment does tend to win out over science at times. n

WGCU provides context this election season

Last month our

country celebrated its

240th birthday. After being

governed by 44 presidents

we now are selecting the

45th. WGCU, through a

partnership with NPR and

PBS, provided our viewers

and listeners with coverage of Republican and

Democratic party conventions in July. This

month, as the campaign heats up, WGCU-TV will

be offering some food for thought in a reprise

of the American Experience Presidents series.

Starting with JFK and following the chronology

of presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan

and George H.W. Bush, American Experience

provides an unparalleled look at these men –

warts and all – during 20 prime time program

hours over two weeks beginning Monday, Aug.

8. NPR will continue to provide unmatched

coverage and analysis of the campaign on

Morning Edition and All Things Considered and

on programming throughout the day during this

election season.

We are always conscious of our

responsibility to inform and engage our viewers.

Because we are public media, our viewers and

listeners are citizens, not consumers … citizens

who have the right to balanced, insightful,

enlightening and engaging programming about

the most pressing issues of the day and about

what our country’s history – recent and not so

recent – has to teach us. Your support makes this

possible. Thank you. n

A passion to bring the arts to Southwest Florida’s largest stage inspired Myra Janco Daniels to commit $3 million to arts programming on WGCU TV. Her transformative gift inspired WGCU and FGCU to honor her with a special evening of music, friends and accolades. Over 150 community and arts leaders attended a special unveiling of the renaming of the FGCU building that houses WGCU and were treated to a private performance by PBS star Ethan Bortnick. n

KiDSKids discover something Odd

This being a show for kids, who’s surprised that a troop of adults called the Weird Team complicates matters for the Odd Squad? In a new feature-length film, Odd Squad: The Movie debuting Aug. 1, this group of grownups arrives on the scene with a gadget that supposedly fixes any odd problem. And that means the Odd Squad is run out of business and the agents have to go back to being regular kids. The horror!

But of course things are not always as they seem. Using math skills and teamwork, the kids find out that the Weird Team is doing nothing more than covering up the problems. The adults aren’t solving anything. What’s more, the future of the world is at stake.

The Season 2 kids team up with the squad from Season 1 to stop the Weird Team and save the day. That’s quite a way to start a month – and a Monday. n

Down on The FarmThe creative forces behind The Farm trace the food we eat to its beginnings – milk back to the cow and honey back to the bees, for instance. The goal is to combine learning and cooking to give viewers a new appreciation for food.

This is Ian Knauer’s territory. He became known for his innovative culinary ways while working for Gourmet magazine. After nearly a decade there, he went back to his family’s ancestral farm in Pennsylvania and wrote a cookbook, as well as articles for newspapers and magazines – and launched The Farm, which began airing on PBS in 2013. And now in Stockton, N.J., there is The Farm Cooking School, where more ideas percolate.

Wednesday, Aug. 3 @ 8 am, instructions on breeding pigs, sustainable farming and a pig roast. The episode reairs @ 2 pm.

Sunday, Aug. 7 @ 8 am, Knauer hosts a (belated) July Fourth picnic with cheddar-stuffed burgers and cornmeal fried chicken.

Later in the month, learn about raising chickens and therefore the perfect eggs, for dishes like fresh pasta carbonara; making your own bacon and beer; cooking over a fire pit and more.

APES from page 5

from show business, laboratories and pet situations, it was 44-year-old Butch’s turn for a checkup at the doctor’s. So as always, his best friend, 57-year-old Marco, came along. “They’re inseparable,” Ragan said. “In fact, when it’s time for one of them to be weighed they both try to get on the scale.”

Although some apes arrive together and often maintain bonds, Butch and Marco met at the sanctuary and became fast friends there. So did Toddy and Clyde.

Toddy was born in Africa, captured as an infant and sold to a Florida family as a pet. As nearly always happens, she became too big to handle and was sold to a roadside zoo, then a farm in Miami.

She arrived at the sanctuary in 1998, and nearly immediately made three female friends. Later, she was introduced to Clyde, a senior chimp who had never had a female companion – until Toddy. As Ragan explains this, she stands up and hunches over a bit to demonstrate how the two elderly, arthritic chimps would take walks together and engage in a slow-speed game of chase. They would hug, share food and tickle each other. “They slept in separate bedrooms,” Ragan said, “but they lived in the same house.”

Unfortunately Clyde died in November at an estimated age of 50. He, too, had been captured as an infant and sold as a pet. When he became too big, he was moved to a cage in the family’s garage. He lived there for 45 years. Several of the other residents spent years in cramped, lonely conditions before coming to live at the sanctuary.

In the wild, chimpanzees live in Africa and orangutans in Sumatra and Borneo. Chimps live between 40 and 60 years, orangutans between 35 and 50 years, depending on whether they are wild or captive and subject to varying genetic and environmental factors. Most of the sanctuary residents are older adults. And like my friend the spitter, many have fascinating Hollywood resumes. Bubbles was Michael Jackson’s first pet chimp, and yes, people call and ask questions about him often, Ragan said. Popi starred in Every Which Way But Loose. Geri was featured in Dunston Checks In and was the Flintstones’ neighbor in the 1994 film. Others, like Brooks, who worked for Ringling Bros., were part of circus acts. The unluckiest ones were pets or laboratory subjects.

But like residents of a Palm Springs neighborhood, they’re retired now, living in a gated community with many amenities. n

This program’s perspective is “unseen forces that shape human behavior,” offering stories from around the nation and the world. Narrative storytelling and scientific research are the basis of this show from NPR journalists Alix Spiegel, Lulu Miller and Hanna Rosin.

Intelligence SquaredAug. 21: Do Hunters Conserve Wildlife? In 2014, a permit to hunt a single endangered black rhino was sold for $350,000 … as part of a program to support its conservation in Namibia. Counterintuitive? Through money raised from legal hunting — the purchase of permits in Africa, licenses and taxes in the U.S. — hunters contribute significantly to wildlife conservation efforts. Hunting has also become an important tool in the effort to control animal populations, to the benefit of humans and wildlife alike. But are big-game revenues really benefiting conservation and local communities? And is hunting a humane way to maintain equilibrium and habitats, or are there better alternatives?

Aug. 28: Has the President Usurped the Constitutional Power of Congress?

The Supreme Court is poised to decide whether President Obama’s unilateral immigration actions usurped Congress’s power and flouted his duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” But some argue that the president is not exercising legislative power, he is simply exercising his well-established executive discretion.

OLYMPICS from page 7

The Nazi government attempted to minimize the appearance of discrimination during the 1936 Olympics in numerous ways. The most notable was the removal of anti-Semitic signage and materials in public spaces. The government also pandered to international groups and guests by allowing the German fencer Helene Mayer to compete. The Nazis considered her Jewish through her father and utilized this to show they were allowing Jewish athletes to compete for Germany.

While these gestures allowed the Nazi regime to placate the world community, the government continued its racial policies. As Berlin prepared for the Olympics, the Nazi government set up what would later become the Berlin-Marzahn Concentration Camp to contain the Romani population of Berlin. This space, between a cemetery and a sewage dump, would be surrounded by barbed wire and later the Romani here were forced to work in armament plants. The men of this camp would be sent to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and the families to Auschwitz.

While the Nazi regime intended the Berlin Olympics to showcase the ideals and power of its ideology of white racial superiority, the most notable achievements at the 1936 games were made by a black man, Jesse Owens of the United States. Owens won four gold medals, which angered Hitler and acted as a blow to his theories of a superior Aryan race on the international level.

Southwest Florida’s Holocaust Museum collection includes souvenir postcards donated by local resident Phyllis McCommon and the book Olympia 1936, donated by Nancy Stokes and Vicki Wittmer.

The postcards relating to the Olympics highlight part of the massive stadium built to exalt the Nazi regime through architectural achievement. This piece is part of a larger collection of European postcards including additional Nazi-era pieces relating to architecture

The book Olympia 1936 is a unique piece. Originally produced by the company Cigaretten-Bilderdienst as part of a 16-volume collection, this book was to be

filled in using images that came in cigarette packs. Larger, full-color pieces could be ordered directly through the company. The images would be pasted into appropriate spots marked on the pages. Eventually Cigaretten-Bilderdienst was taken over by the Nazi government and the company’s books and images became vehicles for propaganda that focused on Hitler and demonized England. The museum possesses the complementary Olympia book relating to the Winter Olympics of 1936 and the second to last volume of the collector’s series, titled Adolf Hitler. They are displayed at the museum as examples of how in popular culture, everyday items can become propaganda tools. n
