In 1958 a group of educators, community leaders and concerned citizens came together to form the Rochester Area Educational Television Association (RAETA). They believed in the possibilities and the promise of public television. They believed that television was a perfect tool to educate, inform and inspire the largest possible audience. We have strived over this half-century to keep alive the spirit of those pioneers. Over the years, WXXI has grown from one television station to an organization that now serves the Rochester community with five television channels and six radio services including Reachout Radio, our radio reading service (in partnership with ABVI/Goodwill) for those who are visually impaired or print handicapped. A lot has changed since 1958, but one thing has remained core to our mission – education. Every day WXXI provides programs that stimulate and expand thought while promoting understanding of diverse community issues. Services like Reachout Radio help bridge some of the challenges people face, while other innovative programs spotlight remarkable individuals who have overcome challenges. For example, this month marks our sixth year presenting, with Al Sigl Center, Dialogue on Disability: The Herman & Margaret Schwartz Community Series. This week-long programming initiative, which kicks off Monday, January 14, is designed to stimulate community dialogue about the perspectives and abilities of people with disabilities. This partnership with Al Sigl Center has yielded some amazing stories of courage and determination from across the country and across our region. (You can learn more about this initiative on page 8, and I encourage you to visit WXXI.org/dod.) I believe our founding board members would have been surprised and pleased to know how many WXXI programs are seen across the nation. This month we are proud to present a new national television series. Biz Kid$ is a program designed to teach young people about financial literacy and how to manage their own money. With fun graphics, fast pacing and peer entrepreneurs, kids teach kids about money and business. While Biz Kid$ is our newest program to hit the air, we’ve been producing educational shows for young audiences for nearly five decades – since RAETA launched Assignment: The World (ATW) in 1959. Now the longest running instructional program on television, ATW delivers news and current events in a safe environment for children. This fall, it too will celebrate its 50th anniversary! Programs like ATW and Homework Hotline, our live call-in show, still provide instructional programming to area schools, but today we also deliver educational content over the Internet (so it can be more useful to teachers and students). It is our intent with Biz Kid$ that it be utilized in the schools as well. We believe the real impact of the program will come from how it is used in the classroom. With 49% of youth thinking they are more likely to become millionaires by staring in a reality TV series rather than by learning how to budget and save wisely, the need for a show like this is apparent. We’re looking forward to a great New Year filled with exciting anniversary celebrations, new productions like Biz Kid$ and Taste of New York (our series about New York food and wine that will premiere this spring), and as always – great television and radio programs that educate, entertain and engage. Please know that we are grateful for your support, which helps make our work possible. Like the visionary men and women who started RAETA, you know the value of your public broadcasting station. Thank you and again, please accept my best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

For up-to-date program listings, please consult your daily newspaper or log onto wxxi.org. www.pbs.org www.npr.org RO january 2008 ROC COVER STORY 5 th i w K, SNACK & ROLL Rap music, rocking chairs, candy, and custom skateboards — at first glance, they don’t have much in common. Yet each of these represents the dreams and hard work of a Biz Kid! You’ll find these business-savvy young people on the new series Biz Kid$, airing every Friday at 5:30 p.m., beginning January 11, 2008 and again on Sundays at 10 a.m., beginning January 13, 2008 on WXXITV 21 (cable 11). Through clever skits, comedy sketches, and messages from the kid hosts, Biz Kid$ teaches the basics of saving, budgeting, investing, building a business and giving back to the community. Tune in with your children and they can learn to be Biz Kids, too. Produced by the team from the Emmy award-winning series Bill Nye the Science Guy, Biz Kid$ introduces some amazing young entrepreneurs and philanthropists. You’ll meet Rebecca Charbonneau, a teenager who fulfilled her dream of opening a candy store in her community and also managed to help revive the ailing business district at the same time. Skateboard designer and web site creator Jordan Wilsted and social entrepreneur Ben Weymiller also share their stories. (Jordan launched two successful businesses based on his favorite hobbies and Ben raised over $85,000 to provide rocking chairs for the hospitals in his community.) Compelling adult stories are also included in some episodes. Chris “Kharma Kazi” Rolle’s story is one motivating example. Abandoned as a baby, and then in and out of foster care, Kazi overcame unimaginable obstacles. Through sheer will, determination, and the support of a youth program called Art Start, he rebuilt his life. Today, he is a successful rap artist, movie producer, actor, and philanthropist. In 1991, Rolle founded Art Start’s Hip-Hop Project, an after-school program that connects teens with music industry professionals to produce their own albums. Using hip-hop as a tool to entice kids to participate, Kazi’s true mission is all about social entrepreneurship, self-empowerment, and overcoming personal obstacles. With only 10% of America’s youth graduating high school with any kind of instruction in personal finance, this series is a must see! So, grab your kids and watch Biz Kid$ together. They’ll be sure to profit and you might learn a few financial facts, too. BIZ KID$ airs Fridays at 5:30 p.m., and again Sundays at 10 a.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11). Biz Kid$ is produced in association with Junior Achievement Worldwide and WXXI Public Broadcasting in Rochester, New York, with distribution by American Public Television. Major funding for Biz Kid$ is provided by a coalition of America’s Credit Unions. 6 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD january 2008 Just what is the elephant in the room? What role has prayer played in shaping the development and history of America? A new two-part documentary, Prayer in America, airing January 6 and 13 at 11 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), explores contemporary debates about the role of prayer through the lens of history. By asking rhetorically, “How did we get here?” the show examines the ways in which prayer has contributed to and continues to shape the American experience. The film is inspired by and serves as the companion to Prayer in America (originally published by Doubleday as One Nation Under God: The History of Prayer in America by James P. Moore, Jr.). In his highly original approach to the history of the United States, Jim Moore suggests that prayer has historically, and through to the present day, been a significant influence on the political, cultural and economic development of the United States. The documentary reflects diverse, and sometimes conflicting, perspectives that inspire viewers to examine the role religion and prayer play in their personal lives, politics, and culture.

MEMBERCARD PLUS BENEFIT OF THE MONTH Rochester Americans Hockey Club 1 War Memorial Square 585.454.5335 Valid for 2-for-1 admission during the month of January 2008 Subject to availability and some restrictions may apply Did you know that the Rochester Americans have retired only two sweater numbers in their history. The first was No. 6 in honor of Norm “Red” Armstrong following his death from a fall in a construction accident in 1974 at age 35. No. 9 was later retired in honor of Dick Gamble and Jody Gage. Gage broke Gamble’s team scoring records with the Amerks during his long tenure with the team. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Q&A january 2008 7 Mark Grube WXXI Development Producer Meet Mark Grube, recently named WXXI’s Employee of the Year. Mark started working for Reachout Radio in 1996 and within two years was producing and hosting his own weekly radio show, What’s New (Saturdays at 9 p.m. on AM1370). In 1999, he joined the membership department as the station’s Development Producer. Mark runs the membership drives, and produces fundraising spots. He is also host of Mystery Train, heard on WRUR-FM at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Q. Why are membership drives so important to the station? Aren’t there better ways to raise money? A. Just about everything seen and heard on our stations grows directly from the generous impulse of individual members of the audience. The most effective way, by far, to reach those members is to use airtime on TV and radio. Drives account for 2% of that time over the course of a year. There are other methods, and we make use of them, but nothing else brings it down to the level of one viewer or listener connecting with the programs they enjoy. Q. Radio membership drives vs. TV membership drives - which do you prefer and why? A. I started in radio here and am still part of that department, so I’d have to lean toward radio. On the other hand, I’m not really a morning person, so getting up at 4:30 a.m. is always tough. Either way, the best part is hearing comments from new members who are so glad they finally did it. Pledge drives are not an annoyance for them. They’re a welcome mat, happily crossed. Q. How did you come up with the name for your WRUR show Mystery Train? A. It’s a Junior Parker tune (and a Jim Jarmusch film) but I thought it summed up what I was after for the feel of the show: a journey where you didn’t know what was coming next... soul, folk, funk, blues, jazz, zydeco, gospel, etc. Q. What’s the last CD you purchased, or song you downloaded? A. I don’t own an iPod. I still miss LP’s, actually! But the last CD I bought was Aretha Franklin: Rare and Unreleased. I was talking to Scott Wallace (host of Rejuvenation on WRUR) and he called it the “Holy Grail of soul music.” january 2008 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PHOTO: BRIGIT KELLY YOUNG/ITVS 8 For the past six years WXXI and Al Sigl Center have partnered on a project dedicated to taking the “dis” out of disability. DIALOGUE ON DISABILITY: The Herman & Margaret Schwartz Community Series is a week-long programming initiative, beginning January 14, designed to stimulate community dialogue about the perspectives and abilities of people with disabilities. At the heart of this initiative is programming, broadcast on WXXI-TV and AM1370 that delves into the lives of people with disabilities. The centerpiece of the week is the premiere of two national television productions. You’re Not Alone, airing Thursday, January 17 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), follows a multicultural group of families facing the relentless challenges of raising special needs children. The Teachings of Jon, airing Thursday, January 17 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), is an insightful and humorous documentary by Jennifer Owensby about her brother Jon, a 40-year-old man affected by Down syndrome. Jon has an IQ of 20, is unable to talk and earns less than $13 a year — yet he has found that his greater purpose is to teach others how to love. Bob Smith, host of 1370 Connection and Elissa Orlando, host of Healthy Friday — both heard on AM1370 and WXXI-FM HD2 — will focus on disability issues on their programs the week of January 14. In addition, AM1370 and WXXI-FM HD2 radio will broadcast two national productions. The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normal, airing Saturday, January 19 at 3 p.m. on AM1370, is based on Jonathan Mooney’s book of the same name. Many kids with learning disabilities are medicated and segregated during schooling. Some are forced to ride the “short bus.” A short bus rider himself, Mooney recently bought a short bus and took it on a 35,000 mile journey across the US to seek out kids who shared this experience. Musical Abilities, airing Saturday, January 19 at 3:30 p.m. on AM1370, features interviews with singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt and Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, who explain how they adapted new techniques and relearned how to play music after accidents left them with a disability. Need to Know will also present a special Dialogue on Disability segment on Friday, January 18 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11). Other television programming includes: Today’s Man (1/8 at 10 p.m.), a film by Lizzie Gottlieb who searches to understand her brother’s strange and extraordinary life after he’s diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita (1/15 at 10 p.m.) brings the stem cell debate to the forefront and examines the constantly evolving interplay between the promise of new discoveries, the controversy of modern science and the courage of people living with devastating disease and injury. In Rolling, (1/27 at 7 p.m.) three individuals in wheelchairs are asked to record their day-to-day experiences. To quickly identify DIALOGUE ON DISABLITY programs look for this icon in the TV listings. Al Sigl Center is a resource organization that provides shared and dedicated facilities, business services, and enhanced awareness and financial support for a partnership of independent human service agencies, to help them achieve their goals and foster the goals of people with disabilities whom they serve. Dialogue on Disability is made possible thanks to support from the Fred L. Emerson Foundation. To learn more, visit wxxi.org/dod.

Beginning with the first Jewish people to arrive in New Amsterdam in the 17th century, the film offers a revealing portrait of a people who epitomize the immigrant experience. Even as they have faced bigotry and rejection, they have embraced American culture while keeping alive their traditions and heritage. The first episode, airing Wednesday, January 9 at 9 p.m., covers the period from the 1700s, when the first Jews arrive in America to the early 20th century, when more than two million Eastern European Jews, fleeing poverty and oppression, emigrate. Gravitating to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, they develop their own unique cultural institutions. The second episode, airing Wednesday, January 16 at 9 p.m, looks at the early 20th century, when Anti-Semitism is on the rise even as some Jews succeed in mainstream pursuits; in the 1920s, Jewish immigrants come to dominate Hollywood. The final episode, airing Wednesday, January 23 at 9 p.m., presents the post-war period, when discrimination against Jews in daily life begins to abate and Jews enter professions such as medicine, law and banking in record numbers. While the story of Jewish life in America is emblematic of the American immigrant story, it is also a unique story of ongoing discrimination and stereotyping coupled with some of the most remarkable accomplishments in American history, the arts, commerce, science and academia.

The convocation brings together a diverse group of approximately 50 influential Americans, including leaders in finance, education, academics, sports, science, technology, religion, politics, law, journalism, the military, health and medicine, visual and performing arts, social networking, and auto racing, who offer their views on the rights and responsibilities of citizens and government in modern-day America in both small and larger group discussions. Their conversations are informed by presentations from a wide range of American leaders, including musician, educator and activist Branford Marsalis; playwright David Henry Hwang; historian Gordon Wood; columnist and linguist John McWhorter; writer and social critic Howard Rheingold; and history professor Carol Berkin. WXXI was one of 12 cities selected to participate in the By the People’s national conversation. On October 20, 2007 one hundred local citizens and a panel of experts participated in discussions on healthcare costs, access and quality at Rochester Institute of Technology. Footage from the Rochester conversation will air during this broadcast. BY THE PEOPLE airs on Friday, January 4 at 11 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011/DT21.1). MAPPING STEM CELL RESEARCH Bringing the stem cell argument to the forefront, Independent Lens discovers the constant interplay between the promise for new discoveries, the controversies of modern day science, and the courage of people living with debilitating diseases.

Originally from Somalia, Mohamed managed to get the highest grade in all of northeastern Kenya on his secondary school completion exams, despite having spent much of his life in a Kenyan refugee camp. He will soon begin his junior year at Princeton University, where he is excelling — just as he has throughout his life. Cose takes listeners to Dadaab, the camp where Mohamed grew up, to meet the young man’s teachers and parents. He also visits with Mohamed at Princeton, documenting the incredible transition he has made — from sharing a one-room shack and an outdoor toilet with his entire family to succeeding at one of the most prestigious and demanding universities in the world. Mohamed’s story invites listeners to consider several issues: educational mobility, the state of refugees and the prospects for improving life outcomes for those without social advantage. AGAINST THE ODDS airs Saturday, January 12 at 3 p.m. on AM 1370/FM HD91.5-2 Can You Hear Me? Over the years, the relationship between African Americans and Jewish Americans has been a relationship of common interests and mutual recriminations. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s the Jewish concept of “Tikkun Olam” or Repairing the World was a driving force for young Jewish activists who went to the South to register Black voters and link arms with Black protesters. African Americans embraced these Jews as brothers and sisters from another oppressed group. However, with the rise of Black Nationalism at home and increased turmoil in Israel, this hopeful period was followed by an angry break between the two groups, resulting in racism and anti-Semitism. “Can You Hear Me” looks at how these two cultures have worked towards reconciliation through a rediscovery of their common humanity. Excerpts from this program are performed by Naomi Newman and John O’Neal (pictured). CAN YOU HEAR ME? airs Saturday, January 26 at 3 p.m on AM 1370/FM HD91.5-2 Abass Hassan Mohamed AM highlights THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY AM 1370 is proud to bring you special NPR coverage of the New Hampshire Primary beginning at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, January 8.
