several weeks
ago regarding
Education
reporter Steven
Vegh’s July 14th
article about the
Bert Schmidt rise in Norfolk’s
high school
graduation rates from 72 to 76%. I said that
that statistic was music to the ears of everyone
at WHRO, as was the reduction in the number
of Norfolk dropouts over the last 12 months
from 411 to 287.
As one of the public media stations selected
by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to
participate in American Graduate: Let’s Make
it Happen, a public media initiative designed
to help communities address the high school
dropout crisis, WHRO has a specific partnership
with Norfolk Public Schools to focus on
lowering the dropout rate and increase on-time
graduation in that city’s public school system.
And because WHRO is owned by 18 school
divisions throughout greater Hampton Roads,
we’ve also worked comprehensively with all
area school superintendents, educators and
even students to explore the issue and look for
effective solutions.
We raised public awareness with ads in
the Pilot and Inside Business. Hearsay and
Another View devoted episodes to the crisis.
And we hosted events with community
partners, beginning in January at Norfolk
State University for the Community TechFest
and STEM Video Game Challenge Training.

their birthday, they will receive a birthday

long!

We produced Challenging Circumstances: the
Dropout Epidemic, the first of two WHRO
documentaries further exploring the topic. (A
follow up program will air this November.)
We welcomed PBS President Pat Harrison
to Hampton Roads, and accompanied her
to Sewells Point Elementary, where she and
Admiral Tim Alexander, Commander for
the Mid-Atlantic Region, met with teachers
and read to first grade classes. We hosted a
reception for area teachers, including eighteen
who participated in the StoryCorps’ National
Teachers Initiative.
We hosted a Teacher Town Hall Meeting, one
of twelve scheduled across the country as
part of American Graduate. One hundred area
teachers came to WHRO to share perspectives
and ideas about keeping students in school.
Over the summer, we hosted our 22nd Tech
Trek, a weeklong technology immersion
program for teachers to acquaint them with
the newest technology and ways to introduce
it to students. Students participated over the
summer as well: we conducted Digital Storytelling
workshops for more than 50 Norfolk
middle and high school students at the Parks,
Recreation and Open Spaces Camp Inspire
and at the YMCA’s Escape To The Arts camp.
These efforts are nowhere near enough to
solve the dropout problem – but it’s our hope
that they might serve as a place to begin
serious conversations. There’s far more work
to be done, and it must be done by everyone
in the communities of Hampton Roads – not
just Norfolk, but all of the cities and towns
that make up this vibrant area of the Commonwealth.
We owe our children – and our future
– nothing less.

With content for all subjects and grade levels, eMediaVA is a
“one-stop shop” for educators and the material is correlated to
Virginia’s Standards of Learning. Easy to use and readily accessible

eMediaVA is constantly evolving to better meet the needs of
Virginia’s teachers and students. In its updated version coming this
fall, the system will feature more than just video: everything from
interactive games to simulations to flash animations will be available
for teachers to use in their classrooms, making lessons more

A provocative new series from the BBC - Call the Midwife
Sunday nights are being transformed into a destination for drama in
September! On September 30th at 8pm, WHRO will air CALL THE
MIDWIFE, a new series from the BBC. It will precede Masterpiece
Classic’s new season of “Upstairs Downstairs.”
CALL THE MIDWIFE completed its first season in the United
Kingdom in February, attracting 11.4 million viewers for its peak
episode. American fans will be excited to learn that a second season
is already in the works in the UK!
The story is based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Lee Worth,
relating her experiences as a practicing midwife in the povertystricken
East End of London in the 1950s, where the streets teemed
with children, workers and a culture markedly different from the
affluent English countryside where she was raised.
The first episode unfolds as Jenny meets her patients, including
one woman who is on her 25th pregnancy and a young, 15 year-old
Covering local elections
No sooner will the Olympic
flame be extinguished, than
the 2012 presidential election
will blaze across our television
screens. While NPR and PBS
have some terrific programming
in store for you, you may
be wondering how we plan to
cover elections for our HearSay
audience.
We believe you deserve to hear
from any statewide or congressional
general election candidate
Cathy Lewis
who wants to represent you.
That’s why we offer each the the
opportunity to make their case to you. Here’s how we do it:
To be offered an interview slot, a candidate must meet state requirements
to appear on the ballot.
For US Senate races and statewide offices (Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Attorney General): we devote one hour to each race, giving
each candidate an equal share of the hour. For example, if there are
three candidates on the ballot for Governor of Virginia, all three will
be given a third of the hour.
For US House of Representatives races: We identify the districts that
are represented in our listening area and then devote one hour to each
race, giving each candidate an equal share of the hour.
Should a candidate not accept the opportunity to appear, we divide
that time among the remaining contenders.
Once the field is set:
- We ask candidates to speak strictly to THEIR OWN ideas, not their
opponent’s. Believe it or not, candidates are grateful for this unusual
guideline because it offers them an opportunity to explain their ideas
prostitute, pregnant for the first time. Initially shocked by the health
and living conditions of the East End, Jenny soon learns to admire the
families she works with, along with the sisters and fellow midwives
who witness the daily drama of life in this vibrant community. The
drama also reveals her own growth as she discovers the warm hearts
and bravery of the mothers themselves, as each one becomes a
heroine in Jenny’s eyes.
With witty and emotional
scripts, CALL THE
MIDWIFE not only
captures a unique snapshot
of British history, but
also reflects on universal
themes of childbirth,
nursing and parenthood
that ring true anywhere in
the world.
without having to gird for their opponent’s response.
- We do not identify candidates by party affiliation until the conclusion
of the interview. One thing I have learned in more than 15 years
behind the microphone is that whether we admit it or not, we tend to
make assumptions about candidates based on their team jersey and
this sometimes keeps us from listening to what they have to say.
- We ask some standard questions of each candidate across the board.
But it is far more interesting to see where the conversation goes. You
can learn quite a lot in an engaging conversation that lasts longer than
standard 7-second sound bite.
This year, we will also feature links on our website to the thoughtful
and thorough work produced by our print colleagues at the Daily
Press (www.dailypress.com) and the Virginian-Pilot (www.pilotonline.com)
as well as to our friends at the Virginia Public Action
Project (www.vpap.org) where you can search the candidates of
interest to you and read about how their campaigns are financed.
The way HearSay conducts election coverage is not perfect. But its
distinction is appreciated enough by candidates and listeners that
we continue to test the model. We make the effort because it’s too
important not to.
Each day, we grow more incapable as a nation of discussing complex,
important issues in which we all have a stake. And this should not
surprise us. After all, many of our models for political discourse are
combative, one-dimensional and unsatisfying. When it comes to
elections, we are left with a fine assessment of a candidate’s oratorical
skills, but little assessment of his or her ideas, skills, passion or ability
to reach consensus - important tools for those who would govern
effectively.
It’s not enough to bemoan the state of political discourse. Each of
us has a role to play in changing it. And that’s why we do election
coverage the way we do. We are planting a flag in a troubled
landscape: creating a demilitarized zone where we offer our listeners
the tools of citizenship to build a better republic.

WHRO CENTER FOR REGIONAL CITIZENSHIP
WHRO Hosts Community event to Support the Leadership of
Women and Girls
WHRO is proud to present HALF THE SKY, a documentary based
on Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s widely acclaimed book,
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women
Worldwide. The documentary follows celebrities Meg Ryan, Eva
Mendes, America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Gabrielle Union and Olivia
Wilde as they travel the globe and meet inspiring, courageous
individuals who are confronting the oppression of women and girls.
Half the Sky addresses the issues of economic empowerment, education,
forced prostitution, gender-based violence, maternal mortality,
and sex trafficking.
On Thursday, September 27th, WHRO will open the doors of our
Norfolk studio (5200 Hampton Boulevard) for an evening dedicated
to learning about these issues and how they affect us locally. At 6:30,
our community partners provide information about how to take action
locally; and at 7, there will be a screening of HALF THE SKY, with
engaging discussion about the challenges facing women. There’s no
cost to attend, but seating is limited, so please come early.
On Friday, September 28th at noon on WHRV 89.5 FM, Barbara
Hamm Lee will continue the conversation on Another View,
discussing the film and exploring its relevance to the local African
American community.

Virginia Conversations
Fridays at 9am on WHRV
On August 3rd, WHRV introduced
listeners to Virginia Conversations,
a live statewide broadcast from
the mountains of Southwestern
Virginia. We were proud to be a
launch partner of this hourlong
weekly program, which focuses on
timely topics of statewide interest
in the news. Virginia Conversations
also features guests from the
world of arts and entertainment.
Listeners have the opportunity to
join in the conversation by calling
a statewide toll-free number.
May-Lily Lee
May-Lily Lee is the host of
Virginia Conversations, which is underwritten by a grant from the
Virginia Education Association. May-Lily is also host and senior
producer of Virginia Currents on public TV affiliates statewide;
she’s covered gubernatorial inaugurations dating back to Governor
Doug Wilder, and she’s has hosted weekly programs from the state
capitol during General Assembly sessions.
If you haven’t caught Virginia Conversations yet, you’ll want to
tune in for compelling discussions like the statewide impact of
globalization, both on manufacturing jobs Southwestern Virginia
and workers at the Port of Virginia in Hampton Roads – or a
conversation with Paula Johnson, who in 1998 discovered the little
girl she had been raising was not her biological daughter. Now 17,
Callie Conley talks about growing up with bonds just as thick as
blood.
Another aspect of Virginia Conversations is some occasional
“catching up,” checking on what some famous Virginians are doing
these days: for example, John Warner, Chuck Robb, Jim Gilmore,
and Ollie North are all in a special “Where Are They Now” edition
of Virginia Conversations. It’s radio worth listening to – so tune in
each Friday morning at 9 on WHRV 89.5FM, and let us know what
you think.
Virginia Conversations is underwritten by a grant from the Virginia
Education Association.

Whether it’s the news, public affairs and world class entertainment on WHRO TV15/15.1HD and WHRO World, the
delightful how-to shows on WHRO Create, or the award winning children’s programming on WHRO kids, you’ll
find something of significant value for every member of your family at every hour of the day on your public television
stations. There’s even more information on our website – whro.org. Click on the Learn icon for in-depth scheduling
info, and the Watch icon to view perennial WHRO favorites!

OMG, how cute is this little fella? He’s Daniel Tiger, and he’s coming to
our neighborhood every day of the week!
WHRO introduces Daniel Tiger, one of the best friends a preschooler
could have! You may remember his father: Daniel Striped Tiger,
one of the delightful creations of Fred Rogers. Well, Daniel Striped
Tiger grew up, got married, and he and Mom Tiger welcomed young
Daniel Tiger to their home. In this charming program, it’s always a
“Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” as young Daniel zips up his
little red sweater and invites viewers for a ride on the Neighborhood
Trolley, to a different place in the Neighborhood where he plays and
learns with his friends.
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new, beautifully-textured animated
series from PBS KIDS for preschoolers aged 2-4, based on the legacy
of Fred Rogers. Its cast includes the children of his original and
much-loved Neighborhood of Make-Believe: O the Owl, Katerina
Kittycat, Prince Wednesday, and Miss Elaina. Together, through
imagination, creativity and music, they learn the key social skills
necessary for school and for life.
Building on the landmark PBS series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new series for a new generation

of children. It tells engaging stories about the life of a preschooler –
and it’s accompanied by cross-platform games and activities for the
very youngest children, together with online resources for parents
and teachers. Daniel was developed by The Fred Rogers Company,
and brings together a group of today’s leading creators of children’s
media and educational technology. The series tells its engaging
stories using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark
curriculum: its songs give parents and children a concrete way to
practice important school-readiness skills together.
We are so excited to welcome Daniel Tiger to our neighborhood!

LOCAL CLASSiCAL MuSiC ReTuRNS TO WHRO FM
September is usually thought of as marking the beginning of the arts season, and
so it is in Hampton Roads. The Virginia Symphony’s first Classics concert is September
7th. The curtain goes up on the Stage Company’s first production at the end
of the month, and the Virginia Opera presents it first-ever production of The Pearl
Fishers on the 29th. In anticipation of the Bizet opera, WHRO-FM will bring listeners
a preview of the colorful work with Glenn Winters, Saturday afternoon, September
22. And stay tuned for arts information as well as Virginia Symphony and
Virginia Opera broadcasts as we enter a new season of outstanding performances.
SuMMeR STAGe CONTiNueS
This month, we will continue our SummerStages series on Wednesday evenings
with another performance from the Brevard Music Center in the beautiful mountains
of North Carolina. Joann Falletta will conduct this all-Russian festival concert.
We will then feature two programs recorded at this year’s Virginia Arts Festival,
chamber concerts with pianist Andre Michel Schub, violinist Tianwa Yang and the
Daedalus Quartet. Tune in for SummerStages Wednesday evenings at 9:00 o’clock.
SOMeTHiNG FOR eVeRyONe
Listeners to our Midday Classics with Shari Barbour will have noticed that the
noon hour is given over to “Something for Everyone.” It’s a unique mix of music
- perhaps a little of Broadway, perhaps some familiar classical piece in an unusual
arrangement – which pushes the classical boundaries a bit, but is always in good
taste and is always entertaining. Join Shari as she presents something special for
you and everyone each weekday at the lunch hour.
COuNTDOWN TO NOVeMBeR
WHRV 89.5FM is the place for political coverage this fall. In addition to national
coverage from the trusted reporters at NPR, we’re carrying both the Democratic and
Republican Conventions and the Presidential debates. And WHRV will carry our
own local Congressional debate as well, as Paul Hirschbiel and Scott Rigell meet on
October 12th at 7pm to talk about the issues important to local voters. WHRV has
a long history of providing listeners with sound and reliable information to make
informed decisions in the voting booth. This year is no different. Keep your dial
tuned to 89.5FM for the latest political news.
OuT OF THe BOx AND iNTO THe PARk
Bring a chair and a blanket – and a picnic – and enjoy a couple of hours with
WHRV’s Paul Shugrue as he plays tunes from his popular program Out of the Box!
On Saturday, September 8th at 6pm, in the beautiful Stage Pavilion, Pavilion Park
at East Beach in Norfolk. We’ll have our popular WHRO Kids van on site with fun
activities for the youngest members of your group, and there’ll be live performances
from local artists as well! It’s a great opportunity to get out and enjoy one of the
last weekends of summer. Best of all, it’s a familyfriendly
event that’s free and open to the public! For more expanded listings,
visit whro.org.
