ArtsLink - Jim Kelly

A weak economy for the arts means creative thinking for arts agencies. For more than a quarter of a century, King County has been a pioneer in arts and historic preservation funding, and recently added creative financing to the list of accomplishments. The new Cultural Development Authority's plan for survival means breaking away from the County to form its own tax-exempt public corporation. Mastermind Jim Kelly explains.

Remarkable People - Dr. Merrill Spencer

In this half-hour documentary, award-winning Seattle producer Jeff Gentes presents a portrait of Merrill Spencer, M.D., a pioneer and world leader in the development of cardiovascular instrumentation and clinical techniques at Seattle's Virginia Mason and Swedish hospitals. Part inventor, part medical doctor, Merrill combined both talents to provide the best care possible for his patients. Working up to his last few days at age 84, he is credited with four U.S. patents and more than 300 authored articles in scientific publications. He is perhaps best known in professional circles for his selfless approach to medicine and his desire to never stop learning and teaching his colleagues worldwide. Merrill passed away in June 2006 after a long bout with pancreatic cancer. One of his greatest laments in his final days was that he had to give up his lifelong work in his clinic. Program highlights: Through principal interviews with Merrill's wife, Joanne, and his stepson, Scott Seidel, the program chronicles Merrill's life form his childhood on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma to his early research with animals at the San Diego Zoo before arriving as a medical researcher IN Seattle. He was, in fact, recruited to be the doctor for Namu, a captive killer whale brought to the Seattle waterfront IN the early 1970s. The documentary includes interviews with colleagues including leading cardiologists William Gray and Mark Reisman. "Here was this elderly gentleman, but when you looked into his eyes and listened to him, you felt like you were with a kid," remembers Reisman. "He didn't invent technology for the sake of technology. He truly wanted to help patients and humanity." Observes Dr. Rob Reneman, "His gray cells never stopped working. We wondered what he did at night." The program reveals the great importance and lasting influence of Merrill's work. His research and use of Transcranial Dopplera technique for measuring blood flow in the brainis now helping medical science better understand the causes and prevention of stroke and, just recently, migraine headaches. His true impact on the improvement of health care will not be fully known for decades.
