Lighthouse/Lightning Rod 

Tony award-winning 

choreographer Garth Fagan 

and Grammy Award-winning 

musician and composer 

Wynton Marsalis 

recently joined forces for their second 

collaboration, Lighthouse/Lightning 

Rod. The concept and choreography were 

created by Fagan, and the original music 

was composed and arranged by Marsalis. 

It premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of 

Music to a packed house in September, 

and WXXI was granted exclusive behindthe-scenes 

access to document the project, 

which included rehearsals, creative planning 

sessions, and the opening night. This special 

documents the creative process and the 

final product, and includes interviews with 

industry leaders, media critics, art historians, 

and others who will share the significance of 

this collaboration and the work of these two 

artists. During the broadcast, WXXI will also 

share details about the Rochester debut of 

this collaboration at Nazareth Arts Center and 

how you can get tickets.

Dear Friends, 

If you ever needed a reminder of the 

difference between commercial and 

public media, you certainly got it this 

election season. When you tuned 

in to commercial stations, you were 

bombarded with political advertising. 

Norm Silverstein 

When you tuned in to WXXI, you 

heard: Voice of the Voter debates, Candidate Free Air Time, three 

presidential and one vice presidential debate, and ongoing news 

coverage. All of this was designed to help you make an informed 

decision on Election Day. 

After casting your vote on November 6, I invite you to join WXXI for 

up-to-the-minute results and analysis of local and national races. 

WXXI’s news team will provide complete coverage on AM 1370 

with updates from NPR, 1370 Connection’s Bob Smith and WXXI’s 

Center for Public Affairs News Director Julie Philipp. They’ll have 

commentary from our field correspondents, who will be reporting 

live from the key local candidate headquarters. WXXI Capital Bureau 

Correspondent Karen DeWitt will also provide additional statewide 

coverage. On TV, we’ll bring you PBS NewsHour’s Election Night 

2012: A Special Report, starting at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV/HD, and 

WXXI News will offer updates on local races throughout the evening. 

Plus, you can listen to Morning Edition and All Things Considered 

throughout the rest of the week as we explore just what the results 

mean to you, the state, and the entire country. 

It’s this kind of in-depth coverage that your public broadcast 

station promises to bring you every day. Whether it’s ongoing 

election coverage by our news team, poignant documentaries 

on WXXI-TV/HD, or the trusted information you get from NPR 

each day, no media group in the region is as dedicated to this 

community as much as WXXI is. I know you value that, and I invite 

you to help insure that we remain strong and independent by 

making a pledge of support during our TV Membership Campaign. 

It kicks off November 22 with a My Music special, Ed Sullivan’s Top 

Performers. As always, we try to make on air campaigns as brief 

and efficient as possible. 

November also brings us acclaimed national talk show host Diane 

Rehm, heard every weekday from 10 a.m. to noon on AM1370. 

You won’t want to miss our luncheon with Diane on Friday, 

November 16 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. You 

can order your tickets by calling (585) 258-0200 or by logging on to 

WXXI.org/diane. Special thanks to Keith & Betsy Wilson and Parker 

Law Offices for their support in making the luncheon possible. 

November is also the month to be thankful, and WXXI is most 

grateful for you – our members. It’s our members that keep 

Rochester’s public broadcasting station going strong. On behalf of 

all of us at the station and the Little Theatre, we’d like to wish you 

and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and holiday season! 

Sincerely, 

Norm Silverstein, WXXI President & CEO

WXXI Shares 

100 Books 

Over the summer, WXXI asked the 

community to help put age-appropriate 

books into the hands of children through 

one simple act – by sharing the name of 

their favorite children’s book titles at www. 

SoarwithReading.com. Rochester was just one of 71 cities 

selected to participate in the national Soar with Reading 

project, a JetBlue Airways and PBS KIDS collaboration where 

children’s books were donated to deserving kids through a 

partnership with Barefoot Books. Thanks to 100 Rochester 

participants, WXXI received 100 books that were distributed 

to the Rochester City School District’s Early Childhood 

Department. The books donated to the Rochester PreSchool- 

Parent Program will be distributed among the 32 classes in the 

program. The books will be used as part of the district’s “Book 

in a Bag” program. Each child in the classroom selects a book 

to take home to share with their families for a week. 

Dinosaur Train 

Discovery Tour Day 

November 11, 12-4pm 

Join WXXI at the Rochester Museum & Science 

Center for a special day dedicated to dinosaurs! 

See the largest T-rex ever unearthed, meet Buddy 

the T-rex from the PBS KIDS series Dinosaur Train, 

explore the newest Dinosaur Train interactive project 

called the Discovery Tour, learn about the Nature 

Trackers Club and more. The event is free with regular 

museum admission costs ($13 adults, $12 seniors 

and college students with ID, $11 ages 3 to 18, free 

for RMSC members and children under 3). 

Dinosaur Train airs weekdays at 9:30 AM on WXXI-TV/ 

HD. To learn more about the series, and the special 

event at the museum, visit WXXI.org/events. 

More than $20,000 worth of books was donated to thousands 

of children across the country. Goodnight Moon by Margaret 

Wise Brown was this year’s most popular title with 738 

submissions, and Where the Wild Things Are, The Giving Tree, 

and Green Eggs and Ham followed.

Sunday, November 25, 8 PM and 9:30 PM 

What are millions of devoted Downton Abbey fans to do while 

eagerly awaiting Season 3, which returns to WXXI-TV/HD on 

January 6, 2013? Now, dear viewers, a remedy is at hand. Join 

Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, 

Dan Stevens, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter and many more 

for a fond recollection of their favorite moments from Seasons 

1 and 2, plus interviews with the actors and creative staff and 

rare behind-the-scenes footage of the production. 

Downton Abbey Revisited 

If you’re a fan of the witty and quirky London surgeon turned small town 

general practitioner, you won’t want to miss this marathon. WXXI-TV kicks 

off the night with Doc Martin: The Movie at 8 p.m. After discovering that his 

wife has been having affairs with three of his friends, Dr. Martin Bamford 

escapes to the sleepy coastal town of Port Isaac. There, he works through 

an identity crisis, and encounters many interesting characters along the way. 

At 9:30 p.m. WXXI presents Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie. 

The Doc is in need of a bit of distance from the small village of Port 

Issac, so when the local real estate agent shows him the ramshackle, 

middle-of-nowhere property Tregrunnt Farm, it’s love at first sight. But 

the Bowden family from London also has their eye on the property with a 

view to developing the surrounding land into ugly holiday cottages. After 

being gazumped, the Doc decides to try to spook the family into leaving 

by pretending to be the Beast of Bodmin. 

The evening concludes with a 10:45 p.m. broadcast of the first episode of 

the Doc Martin series, season one. As Doc Martin moves in and meets 

the locals, he realizes that adjusting to village life is not going to be smooth 

sailing. In his sharp suits and flashy car, he’s a fish out of water.

Sunday, November 18 and Monday, November 19, 8 p.m. 

Ken BurnsThe Dust 

Ken Burns surveys the causes of the worst manmade 

ecological disaster in American history—when 

the frenzied wheat boom of the “Great Plow-Up,” 

followed by a decade-long drought during the 1930s, 

nearly swept away the breadbasket of the nation—in 

his newest film The Dust Bowl. See vivid interviews 

with 26 survivors of those hard times, combined 

with dramatic photographs and seldom-seen movie 

footage that bring to life stories of incredible human 

suffering and equally incredible perseverance. 

The documentary is also a morality tale about our 

relationship to the land that sustains us — a lesson 

we ignore at our peril. 

photo: Library of Congress 

David Geffen’s far-reaching influence 

— as agent, manager, record industry 

mogul, Hollywood and Broadway 

producer, and philanthropist — has 

helped shape American popular 

culture for the past four decades. 

Notoriously press- and camera-shy, 

Geffen reveals himself for the first 

time in this American Masters film. 

It’s an unflinching portrait of Geffen, 

who narrates his unorthodox rise 

from working class Brooklyn boy 

to billionaire entertainment power 

broker in extensive interviews. 

American Masters explores the highs 

and the lows in Geffen’s professional 

and personal life through more than 

50 new interviews with his friends, 

colleagues and clients, as well as 

other media luminaries.

In Search of Memory 

Saturday, November 10, 5 p.m. on Wxxi-tv/hd 

“Memory is everything. Without it we are nothing,” says neuroscientist Eric 

Kandel, winner of the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research on the 

physiology of the brain’s storage of memories. As he explains, memory is the 

glue that binds our mental life together and provides a sense of continuity in 

our lives. In Search of Memory is a compelling blend of autobiography and 

history that recounts the life of one of the most important neuroscientists of 

the 20th century and illuminates scientific developments in our understanding 

of the brain’s role in recording and preserving memory. Local support for In 

Search of Memory is provided by The Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Foundation.

Turkey Confidential 

On Thursday, November 22, help is on the 

way for Thanksgiving cooks, kitchen helpers 

and dinner guests on this, the biggest 

cooking day of the year. Lynne Rossetto 

Kasper, host of The Splendid Table®, will 

be available to answer listener questions 

throughout the live, two-hour program. 

Quickly becoming a Thanksgiving morning 

tradition, past shows have included everything 

from a cross-country trucker cooking 

his Thanksgiving dinner on the manifold to a 

panicked first-time cook who didn’t realize a 

turkey needs to be thawed. Lynne handles all 

questions with wit, expertise and laughter.

for Thanksgiving, host John Birge creates a 

thoughtful, contemporary reflection on the 

meaning of the holiday. This year, a grateful 

tribute to the great writer Nora Ephron, with a 

warm and funny highlight of her Giving Thanks 

visit last year. This special also airs on 

Classical 91.5 at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

1370 Connection Forums & AM 1370 Specials 

Intelligence Squared “Are the Rich Taxed Enough?” airs Sunday, November 

4 at 9 p.m. It is all bad news when it comes to the economy; the question is, how do 

we fix it? Are the nation’s wealthiest not paying their “fair share,” or should tax breaks 

be extended for everyone in the name of job creation? John Donvan moderates this 

debate. Speaking for the motion: Glenn Hubbard and Arthur Laffer. Speaking against the 

motion: Robert Reich and TBD. 

State of the Re:Union: Tucson, AZ airs Sunday, November 11 at 9 p.m. You 

can’t live in Tucson without constantly thinking about borders. The Sonoran desert is 

divided by a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border. Tucson is a liberal bastion separated from 

the rest of a staunchly conservative state. And the city itself is criss-crossed by highly 

charged boundaries -- cultural, economic and political. Join us in this desert city to 

hear stories about dividing lines, and what happens when people cross them. 

State of the Re:Union: Jacksonville, FL airs Sunday, November 18 at 9 p.m. 

Situated over 850 square miles in the northeastern corner of Florida, Jacksonville is 

not only the largest city in the U.S., it also happens to be the hometown of our host, 

Al Letson. In this episode, Al looks in his own backyard and discovers stories of a 

sprawling city in the throws of remaking itself. 

Intelligence Squared “Should Drugs be Legalized” airs Sunday, November 

25 at 9 p.m. It was 1971 when President Richard Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” 

$2.5 trillion dollars later, drug use is half of what it was 30 years ago. And yet, 22 

million Americans -- 9 percent of the population -- still use illegal drugs. Now with 

the highest incarceration rate in the world, is it time to legalize drugs or is this a war 

that we’re winning? John Donvan moderates this debate. Speaking for the motion: Nick 

Gillespie and TBD. Speaking against the motion: Theodore Dalrymple and TBD.

Legendary Performers 

Dame Joan Sutherland

Saturday, November 10 at 3:10 p.m. 

Classical 91.5 pays tribute to one of the most 

remarkable female opera singers of the 20th 

century in this two-hour special. Christened 

“La Stupenda” (The Stunning One) after her 

debut in Venice in 1960, legendary Dame Joan 

Sutherland is recalled by two of the world’s most 

highly distinguished singers, Marilyn Horne and

Chris Trapper, front man for the late 90’s alternative band The Push Stars, comes to 

Rochester for a one-night performance at the Little Theatre. Join us as we hear Chris 

perform and talk about his music and what inspires him. Tickets are $20, and can 

be purchased at the Little’s box office. Trapper’s live show is a favorite among fans 

of alt–acoustic music. His on-stage persona is warm and inclusive, and his organic 

understanding of classic pop melody infectious. 

As a modern day singer and songwriter, Chris is most known for his song THIS 

TIME, the Number 1 selling song on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for August 

Rush (Robin Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers – Warner Bros Pictures). A prolific 

songwriter, Chris can boast high profile film placements including There’s Something 

About Mary (Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz), The Devil Wears Prada (Meryl Streep), Say It 

Isn’t So (Heather Graham) and Gun Shy (Sandra Bullock, Liam Neeson). 

Little Celebration. 

Big Success. 

More than 200 guests enjoyed an evening of food, 

fun and friends Tuesday, October 23 at the Little 

Theatre’s annual Little Celebration with Honorary 

Chairs Jack and Barbara Kraushaar. Decorated 

in the theme of the Roaring 20’s, harkening 

back to the days the Little’s door first opened, 

many guests joined in the spirit by attending in 

period dress. Rochester native Mimi Kennedy, 

who was recently seen on film in “The Five Year 

Engagement”, Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” 

and Little Theatre favorite “In the Loop”, received 

the Vanguard Award. Awards also went to Erich 

S. Lehman, owner and curator of 1975 Gallery, 

who was presented with the “Good Neighbor” 

Award, and Ron Von Perlstein presented with the 

“Friends of the Little” Award.

Community Cinema: 

Solar Mamas 

Monday, November 26, 7 p.m., Free 

This month’s Community Cinema film is Solar Mamas. Join us as we 

visit India’s Barefoot College, where rural, poor, and often illiterate 

women from around the world are offered the rare opportunity to 

receive an education that teaches them how to make their communities 

self-reliant and sustainable. Rafea, a beautiful, strong-willed 32-yearold 

Jordanian mother of four, is traveling outside of her village for the 

first time ever to attend Barefoot’s solar engineering program. Once 

there, she will join women from Guatemala, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and 

Colombia in a life-changing, six-month job training program that will 

transform her into a solar engineer — and change her life. 

Community Cinema screenings are held at the Little Theatre (240 East 

Avenue). All screenings, which are followed by panel discussions, are free, 

open to the public, and reservations are not required.

LENNONYC 

LENNONYC is the story of one of the most famous 

and influential artists of the 20th century and how he 

found redemption not in the public adoration he craved 

as a youth, but in the quiet and simple pleasures of 

fatherhood. It is also a New York immigrant’s tale. Lennon 

came to New York City in 1971 seeking what every other 

immigrant has sought: freedom — the free-dom to be 

himself and not “Beatle John,” the freedom to live a 

normal life. Airing in December on WXXI-TV/HD
