From the Chief Executive Officer

I love the start of a new year! It brings excitement and a time of new beginnings. It is certainly an exciting time here at WHRO as we welcome new staff, air new programs, and plan new events.

One program that isn’t new to many of our viewers is Mercy Street, which became a popular show when it debuted last year. The much-acclaimed Civil War-era drama set in the occupied city of Alexandria, Virginia, is returning for a second season starting Sunday, January 22, at 8:00 p.m. We hope you will join us on January 10 or January 12 for a free screening as we kick off season two. Check out whro.org/mercystreet for registration details.

Another show I’m really looking forward to is Victoria. Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) stars as the young Queen Victoria at the outset of her epic reign. The seven-part series follows Victoria from her accession to the throne at age 18, through her education in politics, to her courtship and marriage. Read more about this exciting drama on the next page.

We also have some new radio highlights to share. We are pleased to welcome Chuck Doud as our new Director of Radio and Audience Strategy. Chuck is an experienced radio broadcaster and is very familiar with Hampton Roads. He hosted a highly rated, 13-year running morning radio show on 94.9 WPTE in Norfolk, and recently served as executive producer and an on-air personality at iHeartMedia, Inc. We are very excited to welcome him to the team!

Music fans can look forward to a new season of Paul Shugrue’s Out of the Box Sandler Series this year. We hope you will join us for these free concerts on Thursday nights throughout January and February. For talk radio enthusiasts, our local shows

HearSay and Another View will continue to highlight key issues in our society and foster community dialogue around them—something that will become even more important as we head into this new year.

2016 was a year filled with contentious debate as presidential candidates vied for the White House. Those debates have left our nation divided and questioning the way forward. Part of public media’s mission is to help inform civil discourse that is essential to American society. We take that mission very seriously. As a new president is inaugurated on January 20, we feel a responsibility to ensure that the many diverse voices in our community are heard and have a safe place to come together and discuss the issues that are so important to us all. We look forward to continuing to provide these opportunities through our local radio programs and events like our Race: Let’s Talk About It town halls. We hope you will join us!

The work we do would not be possible without your support. So as we start 2017, I want to say thank you for being so generous throughout the last year. We look forward to serving you this year by continuing to provide the informative news, programs, and music that you enjoy. Happy New Year!

Victoria, the highly anticipated new drama series about the epic life of Queen Victoria, will air on Masterpiece on WHRO TV15, January 15 at 9:00 p.m. in the Sunday night time slot that Downton Abbey has occupied for six years. Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) stars as the young Victoria, a tiny (4’11”), neglected teenager who overnight became Queen and eventually the most powerful woman in the world.

In an announcement, Masterpiece Executive Producer Rebecca Eaton said: “Victoria has it all: a riveting script, brilliant cast, and spectacular locations. And it’s a true story! This is exactly the kind of programming Masterpiece fans will love.”

Victoria is a co-production with Mammoth Screen, producers of high profile returning dramas such as Poldark and Endeavour. It is created and written by best-selling novelist Daisy Goodwin (The American Heiress) in her screenwriting debut. Ms. Goodwin read through 62 million words of Victoria’s diaries, which vividly portray her astonishing transformation from rebellious teenager to Queen.

The eight-part drama follows Victoria from the time she becomes Queen in 1837 at the age of 18, through her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert. Famous for her candor and spirit, she was the first woman who seemed to have it all: a passionate marriage, nine children, and the job of being Queen of the world’s most important nation. Victoria’s often tumultuous reign lasted for 63 years; she was England’s longest serving monarch until she was overtaken by Queen Elizabeth II. Tune in on Sunday evenings at 9:00 p.m.

Major Corporate Sponsorship for Masterpiece provided by Atlantic Shores Retirement Community & Checkered Flag Automotive.

Mercy Street first season took place in the spring of 1862 in Alexandria, Virginia, a border town between North and South and the longest occupied Confederate city of the war. Season two premieres Sunday, January 22 and picks up directly from the dramatic events at the end of the season one finale, continuing to explore the growing chaos within Alexandria, the complicated interpersonal dynamics of Dr. Foster, Nurse Mary, and the Mansion House staff, the increasingly precarious position of the Green family, and the changing predicament of the burgeoning black population. The season will introduce a number of new elements, taking us closer to the fight and into the halls of Confederate power, all set against the intensifying war, starting with the Seven Days’ Battles and culminating with Antietam.

“Mercy Street proves how captivating this series is and how viewers have identified and connected with the characters’ lives, even during a much different time in our nation’s history” said Executive Producer David W. Zucker. “We are looking forward to continuing to expand on these important themes with the next season.” You can watch Mercy Street on Sundays at 8:00 p.m.

January 2017

An Unfinished LifeHe looked like a stereotypical, small-town Austrian school teacher, which is what he was–briefly and unhappily–during his short life. Rotund and just under 5 feet tall, his appearance prompted his friends to affectionately dub him “Schwammerl,” meaning “little mushroom.” Of course, none of this has anything to do with talent and creativity, and Franz Schubert had those attributes in abundance. Before he died at the age of 31, he composed more than 1500 works, almost half of them lieder (songs), which redefined the genre. Many know of his “Unfinished” Symphony, but his catalogue contains many other works that were left incomplete. As with another short-lived musical genius born this month, Mozart, one can only imagine what Schubert could have accomplished had he lived longer. We invite you to join us on Schubert’s birthday, Tuesday, January 31, as we celebrate his brief life and great music.

1A Joins the WHRV Line Up

WHRV is thrilled to announce a new show for a changing America. 1A is a live national radio program hosted by Joshua Johnson, who brings to the airwaves a smart, fresh voice with curiosity and empathy, convening a daily conversation about the most important issues of our time.

Designed to succeed the iconic The Diane Rehm Show, and maintain the core values that made Diane’s show treasured by millions, 1A will provide deep conversation about the thorniest issues of our times delivered with insight, intimacy, and personality. 1A builds on Diane’s legacy of civil dialogue and analysis, while engaging with audiences when and where they choose, on the radio and in a daily podcast.

With a name inspired by the 1st amendment, 1A will explore important issues such as policy, politics, technology, and what connects us across the fissures that divide the country. The program also will delve into lighter subjects such as pop culture, sports, and humor. On air, online, and on demand, 1A launches at a time of deep national reckoning. The show will act as a national mirror – taking time to help America look at itself and to ask what it wants to be. Join us, weekday mornings at 10:00 a.m. for 1A.

Out of the Box at the Sandler Center

Monday, January 2, 10:00 a.m.

The Out of the Box Series at the Sandler Center returns, offering free live music performances to warm up your winter evenings. From January 5 through February 23, we will welcome a different Hampton Roads artist to the intimate Miller Studio Theatre for a free concert every Thursday night starting at 7:00 p.m. This year we will showcase MSG: the Acoustic Blues Trio, Urban Hill, Feral Conservatives, Buddha Council, Blue Ribbon, Bennett Wales & the Relief, Brackish Water Jamboree, and many more. Paul Shugrue, host of Out of the Box, will be broadcasting live from the shows each week. We hope to see you there!

A Musical Prodigy In the depth of winter, one of the most brilliant composers of all time came into the world. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, Austria. Perhaps the most famous example of a musical prodigy, he toured Europe performing as a child pianist, along with his sister Maria Anna Mozart, and in his all-too-short life produced a large number of timeless works in many genres: symphonies, operas, string quartets, concertos, sonatas, and more! His music is almost instantly recognizable. It is elegantly crafted and poised, with a special grace and sparkle and also a rich depth of feeling and expression. Tune in on Friday, January 27, as we celebrate Mozart’s birthday by featuring his music on WHRO 90.3 FM, WHRJ, and WHRF.

Teacher shortages continue across the nation and, according to a report by the Learning Policy Institute, the shortage will get worse. Enrollment in teacher preparation programs continues to decline. As of November 30, 2016, the Virginia Department of Education had over 50 vacancies for math teachers. In a September 2016 article by U.S. News & World Report, Leib Sutcher, a research associate at the Learning Policy Institute, stated, “Demand will continue to increase over the next decade as the school age population increases. Shortages aren’t an

things about our video course is that it has the ability to be used in so many different ways. Teachers can use the video lessons in their classrooms to supplement instruction, provide remediation, or as a tool for implementing flipped classrooms. Students and parents can use the lessons as a resource when completing homework assignments and preparing for assessments. Everyone who uses our course can have the confidence in the fact that every math problem included was thoughtfully created and is aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning. The content and flexibility of use that our video course provides makes it such a wonderful resource,” says Whitehead.

The Geometry video course modules are available at no cost to all Virginia educators, students, and parents at emediava.org

The Veterans Project veterans.whro.org

Beyond M.A.S.H I remember the original M.A.S.H movie and the subsequent TV show. They showed the dedication of military doctors and their commitment to saving the lives of soldiers. Now, when many of us think of the military, our thoughts often go to similar scenes of soldiers and doctors in faraway territories. What many of us don’t know is how the military is on the battlefront of medicine here at home. In addition to advancing treatment for combat-related injuries, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and PTSD, military medicine is on the forefront for issues such as HIV treatment and prevention, hearing, and cancer research.

Cancer prevention and research is nothing new to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In 2016 alone they spent $53.3 million supporting 262 research projects related to cancers predominant in veterans. One cancer in particular has gained more notice. Of veterans recently diagnosed with cancer, 30% are diagnosed with prostate cancer. These surprising numbers led to

the joint summit, Launch Pad: Pathways to Cancer InnoVAtion, co-hosted by the VA and the Prostate Cancer Foundation to “promote the implementation of best practices across the VA healthcare system.”

The VA is also the largest provider of HIV care in the U.S., “treating over 27,000 veterans in 2015 and leading the nation in all components of the HIV Care Continuum,” according to records. With the estimate of one in eight individuals living with HIV, and many not knowing that he or she is infected, prevention education, testing, and treatment is crucial to stop the spread of the disease. The VA is also one of the six lead federal agencies implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, a five-year plan to direct the agencies’ response to the epidemic.

We should also “listen” to prevention awareness when it comes to your ears. The Department of Defense and the VA have joined efforts to create the Hearing Center

of Excellence (HCE). The HCE works to improve hearing health through “prevention, diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, rehabilitation, and research of hearing loss and injuries to the auditory system and sense of balance functions of the ear.” Whether veterans have been exposed to explosives in combat, work in an industrial environment, or attend loud recreational events, hearing loss is preventable. Though the HCE has only a few dozen staff, they are partnering with both public health and civilian agencies to make sure care is available to all veterans.

From cancer to combat wounds, military medicine is ready to address a wide range of issues in support of our veterans.

Side Splitting Comedy! January 28

Technology, engineering, and math are critical ways “to understand and explore and engage with the world.” These four academic disciplines–science–technology–engineering–and math–represent the acronym STEM. As valuable as they are to the future growth of our country, the United States struggles to educate our youth to be competitive relative to the rest of the world. U.S. students recently finished 27th in math and 20th in science in the ranking of 34 countries by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The good news is many are taking up the charge to help us stay competitive, some in interesting places.

Young students in Bremerton, Washington, have received free STEM classes aboard the USS Turner Joy, a decommissioned Vietnam-era destroyer transformed into a floating museum. Staff from the Turner Joy help students learn with hands-on lessons in areas such as hydraulics and metal memory. Speaking of hands on, they also

learned about thermodynamics as they boiled colored alcohol in “hand boilers.”

When you think about it, STEM careers are also often male dominated. To encourage young girls’ interests in these fields, an organization typically known for big earth-moving equipment–Caterpillar–has come to the rescue. In its third year, Caterpillar’s Decatur, Illinois facility hosted seventh graders in “Introduce a Girl to STEM Day” where the workshops included assembling gears, problem solving, and opportunities to explore engineering careers.

WHRO also knows the value of exposing children to STEM content at an early age. WHRO is providing additional STEM training to students in selected Hampton Roads Title I elementary schools and community centers with its new STEM van. A brand new colorful van, decorated with PBS characters, transports the WHRO mobile labs which can be set up inside or outside for students to engage in STEM learning.

Even at-home parents can do fun and easy STEM projects with children. Chart the moon every night at the same time for a month. Plant seeds and watch them grow. Use cooking measurements to help with fractions. Build a structure with cards or popsicle sticks. All these activities can help instill an interest for STEM in our children.

Students Need More Than the Three “Rs”

[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world...”

The reign of Queen Victoria, only recently eclipsed in length by that of Queen Elizabeth II, was a time of restraint, in manners if not in empire building. The term “Victorian” has come to refer those strict moral values that were espoused during the monarch’s reign, idealized romanticism without the excesses often associated with the 19th century. Of course, even if the literature and music of the day described shy maidens in rose gardens, carnal and other adventures were certainly not unknown in the stately homes.

The music of the Victorian and Edwardian eras hewed closely to what we might now call family values, as least as far as parlor entertainment went. (Music hall entertainment, on the other hand, often tended to be suggestive when not being sentimental.) In Victoria’s time there was no radio in homes, of course, and the phonograph was in its infancy, so home music making was a do-it-yourself enterprise. People were expected to at least make an effort to sing the latest songs while gathered around the piano, with the young lady of the family at the keyboard. Like most popular music, the songs were not great art, but many were affective and memorable – Silver Threads Among the Gold; I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen; Love’s Old Sweet Song; Asleep in the Deep.

Outside of the home, there was a wealth of popular band performances and the zany and inspired operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Queen Victoria’s household was more musical than most. Felix Mendelssohn taught music to members of the royal family and his Songs Without Words were often heard in royal residences. Italian composer Paolo Tosti became singing master in the royal household. His romantic songs became favorites and thus he became Sir Paolo Tosti. And then there was the Queen’s Consort, Prince Albert, who tirelessly supported cultural institutions in England and was an accomplished musician who composed some lovely songs and chamber music.

WHRO 90.3 FM From the Parlor program features a lot of the music from the Victorian era. Tune in Sunday afternoons at 3:00 p.m. and hear some of the favorite melodies from times gone by.

Victoria

Music in the Victorian EraThe Victorian Era was filled with the development of new inventions.

In 1876 the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.

The radio was invented in 1895 by Guglielmo Marconi.

The camera, toilet, sewing machine, vacuum, train, and stamp were all created during the Victorian Era.

Factories began to be powered by steam.

The police force was created during this period.

You may have noticed that WHRO and WHRV’s on-air staff have been talking about “sustaining” members during our fundraising drives. Sustaining membership is easy and popular. Why?

Sustaining Members enjoy these benefits:

• UNINTERRUPTED WHRO MEMBER STATUSYou never have to remember to renew your membership again! Your annual membership will be renewed automatically each year, as long as you maintain your support as a Sustaining Member, allowing uninterrupted delivery of our monthly program guide, Dimensions. • GREENER AND CLEANER!As a Sustaining Member, you will no longer receive renewal notices. This saves on postage, paper and clutter in your mailbox! Join the growing family of WHRO Sustaining Members who give generous monthly gifts! Through faithful and reliable contributions, Sustaining Members provide steady support for the quality radio and television programs you love, without commercial interruption.
