Dear Friends, The new season of Downton Abbey is finally here! It’s bittersweet, as it also is the final season. The top-rated PBS drama of all time approaches its last chapter, bringing an end to a remarkable series. Where will fate, passion, ambition, and duty lead public TV’s most beloved characters? You’ll find out, starting Sunday, January 3 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV.

Norm Silverstein

Downton Abbey has become an indelible part of pop culture. It’s been parodied by Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert, as well as Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live. It has been the topic of countless social media posts and Tweets, while the cast has graced the covers of Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide, and appeared on TODAY, Good Morning America, and The View. I believe you won’t be disappointed with Season 6. It’s been described as “marvelously sustained” (Wall Street Journal), “delicious as ever” (New York Daily News), and “the perfect way to begin the New Year” (Los Angeles Times). January is also the month we host, with our good friends at Al Sigl Community of Agencies, our annual Dialogue on Disability initiative. For more than a decade we have provided special programs that spotlight “the abilities of people with disabilities.” The initiative encourages dialogue about the vital role inclusion plays in our community. We hope you’ll tune in to WXXI January 11 through January 17 for special TV and radio programs, as well as news reports and community conversations on Connections with Evan Dawson. (Turn the page and you’ll find highlights of some of the programs scheduled as part of this initiative.) The vital work of Dialogue on Disability has served as a model for our current work with the Golisano Foundation and our Move to Include initiative. Move to Include allows us to continue to bring our community special TV and radio programming, news features, film screenings with panel discussions, and other offerings that promote inclusion throughout the year. Recently, Move to Include hosted a free screening of the film Autism in Love followed by a panel discussion with autism experts and the film’s producer. We had a great turnout for the event, including a group of students from Nazareth College’s Special Education Degree Program. If you missed the screening, you can watch it on January 11 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV. Working together with partners like Al Sigl and the Golisano Foundation helps us bring about positive change in our community. Your support is key to making our work with these initiatives possible. As I wish you a Happy New Year, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that 2016 marks WXXI-TV’s 50th year of broadcasting! September 6, 1966 was the actual day we signed on the air, with a broadcast of the Mikado and a program featuring Julia Child baking chocolate mousse! We hope you will join us in celebrating this important date in the history of public media in Rochester. You will be seeing and hearing a lot more about WXXI’s anniversary – culminating in an Open House this September! Until then, I hope you enjoy everything we have in store – and thank you for helping make us a vital community resource for the past 50 years! Best Regards,

Norm Silverstein norms@wxxi.org @normWXXI

NEWS&EVENTS

Q&A WITH A WXXI Underwriter Needle and Herb, Center for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, has two

locations in the Rochester area: Greece and Brighton. Owner Christine Torres, L.Ac., explains how this system of medicine promotes healing. Q: What would you like the WXXI audience to know about Needle and Herb? A. There is now a substantial body of research, including Cochrane Reviews (highly-regarded among doctors), to support the efficacy of acupuncture, particularly as it relates to pain. For this reason, many insurance companies, including Excellus, offer plans with acupuncture coverage. With a Master’s degree in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, I specialize in all types of pain treatment, including backaches and headaches, as well as mood disorders, such as anxiety.

Q. What distinguishes Needle and Herb from other similar businesses in the Rochester area? A. Personalization of services. By limiting the number of patients in a given timeframe, I provide the best care possible and my full attention. Also, I believe I am the only Spanish-speaking acupuncturist in Rochester. Q. Describe a typical acupuncture session. A. After a brief intake with patients regarding any changes in their symptoms or other concerns, the patient lies on a massage table while needles are inserted. After the patient listens to pleasant music for about 15 minutes, I remove needles and do any adjunctive therapies, such as Chinese medical massage, or discussion of possible herbal remedies. The entire session lasts about an hour. Q. How are acupuncture needles different from the average needle? A. Approximately 35-40 acupuncture needles could fit into the barrel of a hypodermic needle. Q. What does acupuncture actually do in relation to fertility? Depression? A. Traditionally, acupuncture is understood to move qi throughout the “channels” of the body. Modernly, we understand these “channels” to correspond to the nervous and vascular systems of the body. Research shows that acupuncture affects a great number of body substances including serotonin, histamine, noradrenalin and dopamine. It mediates the body’s inflammatory response and affects heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. We can see how acupuncture might affect depression when we look at the body substances it affects, such as dopamine and serotonin. In fertility, we must look at a woman’s menstrual cycle. For a woman to become pregnant, her body must produce a healthy egg and ovulate. These processes are dependent on the balance of a number of hormones which are affected by acupuncture. Acupuncture has quite a regulatory effect on the body chemistry and menstrual cycle. Christine Torres, Owner

David Sedaris introduces two stories about strong feelings. In Michael Cunningham’s powerful ”White Angel,” the bond between two brothers is severed by a tragedy. Time is telescoped, and place looms large in this recounting through the eyes of a child of a moment that changed everything. James Naughton is the reader. Our second work is Bernard Cooper’s humorous tribute to exhalation, “The Fine Art of Sighing,” in which he ascribes his family’s sighing techniques to their characters. The reader is Selected Shorts’ late host and founder Isaiah Sheffer.

One Take Doc Film Series

In Transit Tuesday, January 12 at 7 p.m.

documentarian Albert Maysles

The Little Theatre presents a screening of

the last film from legendary cinema verite documentarian Albert Maysles. In Transit journeys into the hearts and minds of everyday passengers aboard Amtrak’s Empire Builder – the busiest long-distance train route in the United States.

A young bourgeois, Armand Duval, falls madly in love with Marguerite Gautier, a gorgeous courtesan celebrated by the Parisian high society. Despite her infidelity, Armand will do all he can to win the beautiful woman’s heart and convince her to leave her indulgent life. The Bolshoi breathes new life into John Neumeier’s tragic masterpiece, inspired by Alexandre Dumas’ novel and accompanied by Chopin’s exquisite score. This production assumes a new emotional and dramatic texture that only the Bolshoi’s dancers can deliver.

12 p.m. Sunday, January 3 and 6 p.m. Tuesday, January 5

All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records

Saturday, January 30 at 3 p.m. at The Little Theatre

Tickets: $6

“No music. No life.” That was the slogan for Tower Records, the chain of record stores that transformed from its humble beginnings in a small-town drugstore to two hundred stores, in thirty countries, on five continents. Colin Hanks directs ‘All Things Must Pass’ – a brandnew documentary that explores the rise and fall of Tower Records, and its legacy forged by its rebellious founder, Russ Solomon.

Selected by our Classical music hosts Julia Figueras, Brenda Tremblay and Mona Seghatoleslami, each Classical 91.5 Presents film chosen exemplifies the power of music in a non-traditional narrative. Tickets are $6. Other screenings in the series will be on April 2, July 16, and November 5
