Dear Friend,

April marks the beginning of spring and the scheduled end of the New York State budget
process. Both could benefit from more sunshine.
With no warning and no explanation, the Governor’s proposed 50% reduction in
State operating aid for public broadcasting is a serious and unprecedented blow (and out
of line with other reductions in education). While our local legislative delegation has been
extremely supportive of our efforts to restore at least part of the cut, one thing is certain
– we will have to absorb a serious reduction in support for educational programs and
services in the coming year. This makes your support – membership, program underwriting, production funding,
and planned gifts – more important than ever (individual giving, at more than $3 million a year, remains our largest
source of revenue).
In these difficult economic times you have a right to ask if your support is being used wisely and if it’s
making a difference. While budgets may be decided by “three men in a room” in Albany, WXXI’s Karen DeWitt is
there watching every step of the process. Her daily reports on AM 1370 and WRUR-FM keep you informed about
the ways your tax dollars, along with the State’s portion of federal stimulus money, are being spent. Karen is also
a regular contributor to New York Now on WXXI-TV. I hope you agree that in-depth reporting from the State Capital
is a good investment – along with our dues to NPR for award-winning coverage of national and international
events on the radio.
I trust you agree that our dues to PBS, which help support The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Frontline, Nova,
Washington Week and other public affairs programming are dollars well invested. Additionally, Need to Know, our
weekly television public affairs program, brings you in-depth coverage on local issues, with a special focus on the
economy in recent months.
How do others view our program investments? WXXI just received two Bronze Telly Awards recognizing
episodes of our national health series, Second Opinion. This program, a partnership with the University of Rochester
Medical Center (URMC), is making a difference in healthcare here in the Rochester area and throughout the
nation. One example – our new Caregiver’s Diary and Resource Guide helps individuals manage their loved ones’
healthcare. This is part of the Second Opinion for Caregivers initiative, supported by a grant from the Jacob and
Valeria Langeloth Foundation. The initiative is designed to empower the more than 50 million Americans caring for a
family member, friend, or loved one. Thirty thousand guides will be distributed to PBS stations across the country to
share with their communities.
Recently, when an independent producer decided to feature our Rochester Red Wings baseball team in a
13-part series, he asked WXXI to help and present the show nationally. When Chicago’s public television station,
WYCC, put a focus on jazz in March they selected WXXI’s productions from the Rochester International Jazz Festival
as their featured programming. When almost any arts and cultural organization or educational institution in town is
looking for a media partner, they turn to WXXI first – because we believe that when we help another organization be
more successful, it benefits all of us.
If you made a gift during our recent television “pledge drive” or clicked on www.savenypbs.org to make your
voice heard in Albany, thank you! Your financial support and your advocacy make a real difference. Our “pledge” back
to you is that we’ll continue to work hard to merit your trust, and even in the most difficult of times, stay true to the
mission of public broadcasting. And while we can’t control the weather, our reporters in Washington, Albany and right
here at home will do their best to shed light on the stories that matter to you – every day!

Sincerely,

Norm Silverstein, WXXI President & CEO

Geneva On The Lake is a small, year-round resort – a place of hospitality

Geneva On – in Geneva, New York. It is situated on the west side of Seneca Lake
adjacent to Geneva’s historic District and the campus of hobart and William

The Lake Smith Colleges. Built in 1914 as a private home and modeled after a villa
in Italy, it is just a one-hour drive from rochester. Bill Schickel, General
Manager, began working with his father and Geneva on the Lake founder,
“Quiet getaways, as well as executive

retreats, weddings and family reunions, Inc., a fine furnishings company, purchased the resort in 1995.
attract guests from near and far.” the Italian renaissance architecture of this historic landmark, its
Bill Schickel formal gardens, fine dining, and 29 unique suites with Stickley furniture,
General Manager, Geneva on the Lake offer guests an oasis for celebrating special times together. the surrounding
scenic countryside of the Finger Lakes with more than 100 wineries is a
perennial magnet for visitors. each evening the Lancellotti Dining room
features gourmet cuisine, candlelight dining, live piano or harp musical
entertainment with occasional accompaniment by a vocalist. the Wine List
includes many wines from the Finger Lakes Wine District.
When asked about the longtime relationship with WXXI, Bill Schickel
explained: “the decision to partner with WXXI very much relates to being
able to portray Geneva on the Lake in the rich cultural context WXXI offers.”
Mr. Schickel added that he tends to listen to parts of Morning Edition and All
Things Considered and his wife enjoys Fresh Air on WXXI-aM 1370.

When times get tough, the tough collaborate!
Such was the case for the three-day, three-concert Pipedreams Live! event
presented by WXXI-FM Classical 91.5, the eastman School of Music, the
King-Size CroWdS rochester Chapter of the american Guild of organists, and the rochester theater
organ Society, February 13-15, 2009.
for the King of Pipedreams host Michael Barone came to rochester to host and record
inStrumentS three concerts, featuring two organs that had been recently completed as part
of the eastman rochester organ Initiative (eroI), and the Mighty Wurlitzer at the
ByRuthPhinney, auditorium theater.
WXXI-FM’sProgramDirector “I go into these things hopeful but always nervous.” Barone said. “Will the
publicity be effective and sufficient? Do people really listen to Pipedreams and, if
so, why will they come out to hear a Pipedreams Live! event and not already be
regulars at the organ activity in town?”
the Friday night concert, on an elegant new organ by Paul Fritts drew
a standing-room only crowd of nearly 1000. Saturday’s featured Craighead-
Saunders organ, a new-made replica of an organ from 1776 by Casparini in
Lithuania, drew a fire-code-violating crowd of over 500. on Sunday afternoon,
the multigenerational crowd swelled to 1300+ for a concert of popular music
from Cole Porter to andrew Lloyd Webber. Barone reflected, “It really is a marvel-
ous mystery, all of it, but I can’t help but smile when good instruments, good
players, and a good-sized audience converge for a great time with the king of
Instruments.”

organ students and faculty treated the capacity audiences to outstanding
performances from the eastman School of Music. David higgs, chair of the organ
Department applauded the performers, saying “I couldn’t have been more proud
of everyone this weekend – incredible music making, professional stage work and
huge audiences – what a weekend!”
eastman School of Music senior Jon ortloff, winner of the 2008 american
theatre organ Society’s Young theatre organist Competition, and a performer in
Sunday’s program stated, “all in all it was an unparalleled success for all of the
organizations involved. It really could not have been a more triumphant event.”

WXXI was recently awarded a three-year local service grant

WXXI
from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) to continue its on-going efforts
to fight childhood obesity and make a positive impact on the health of Upstate New
Yorkers. WXXI will partner with PBS-affiliate WSkG in Binghamton to help educate
families across the region about the importance of eating healthy, maintaining a
Health Campaign healthy body weight and exercising.
the Greater rochester health Foundation and a coalition of local health orga-
Tackles Child nizations identified childhood obesity as the most pressing health issue in Upstate
New York. With 21% of third grade school children in Upstate New York labeled as
Obesity obese, which exceeds the national rate of 16%, WXXI’s efforts in helping to reduce
this alarming statistic is crucial.
WXXI will use the grant money to produce 36 “healthy You” tV segments to
promote healthy behaviors to school-aged children. the University of rochester
Medical Center will serve as content providers for the segments, which will air on WXXI-tV during Homework Hotline, a live, statewide
call-in show that helps kids with their homework. the segments will also be posted online at homeworkhotline.org for further use by
kids, families and teachers. the entire series of segments will be available on DVD as well, and be distributed to rochester area librar-
ies, neighborhood health centers and other underserved areas identified by WXXI’s community partners.
WXXI will also host two community forums encouraging discussions on childhood obesity, health, nutrition, and exercise. these
one-hour forums will air on WXXI-tV and WSkG-tV. In addition to the televised forums, WXXI and WSkG will produce three one-hour
radio specials focused on childhood obesity, nutrition and fitness. these programs will air on WXXI-aM 1370 and WSQX-FM 91.5.
WXXI will also host local “healthy You” workshops for teachers, daycare
providers, and caregivers, arming them with the information and resources
needed to educate students and families on how to ensure healthy lifestyles.
During these workshops, WXXI will distribute more than 200 custom-designed
health education family literacy kits that will be used in the classroom, and sent
home with students to use with their families.

They were charismatic and forward thinking,
imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times,
arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native american leaders
from Massasoit, tecumseh, and tenskwatawa, to Major ridge, Geronimo, and
Fools Crow valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction WE SHALL
REMAIN
of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they
were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political.
American Experience, in association with Native american Public
telecommunications, presents a five-part series that shows how Native peoples
valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their
culture—from the Wampanoags of New england in the 1600s who used their alli-
ance with the english to weaken rival tribes, to the bold new leaders of the 1970s
who harnessed the momentum of the civil rights movement to forge a pan-Indian
identity. We Shall Remain represents an unprecedented collaboration between
Native and non-Native filmmakers and involves Native advisors and scholars at
all levels of the project.
