WXXI On-line ........................ www.wxxi.org (CPB) to talk about the impact of our Move to Include initiative at a PBS General Managers strategy session in Washington, DC. With funding support from the Golisano Foundation, this multi-media project uses television, radio, film, and digital content to engage audiences and encourage thoughtful and inclusive attitudes toward people with different abilities. Ann Costello, Director of the Golisano Foundation, joined me in this presentation, where we shared our evaluation of the first two years of the project. Our findings proved that high-quality media can move people to learn, listen, and change. We also presented our New York Emmy award-winning Move to Include segment on RIT’s 3D printed prosthetic hand. (You can find that segment and learn more about the initiative at MoveToInclude.org.) On the topic of partnerships – the Little Theatre will once again be partnering with Geva Theatre Center on a series of screenings this month in celebration of their performance of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. The Little will present four Sidney Poitier films throughout November in conjunction with the play – Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, To Sir with Love and A Raisin in the Sun. There will also be select post-film discussions and Geva ticket giveaways. To find out more and how to get a discount punch-card to all four films, visit TheLittle.org. Finally, if you made a pledge during our Fall Radio Membership drive last month, thank you! Your support for our services enables us to bring you in- depth news, a wide variety of incredible music, entertaining and engaging television programs, and important outreach initiatives like Move to Include. All of us at WXXI and The Little wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you enjoy the programs we have planned around the holidays, as well as all the great independent films we will be screening at The Little.

Y., has been producing apples and summer fruits. Co-owner/CEO Brian Nicholson describes how the business has grown and how in his family the apples really don’t fall far from the tree! Q. Red Jacket Orchards is a family-owned operation. Who are the key players? My father, Joe, literally brought the third generation— my brother, Mark, and me — into the business in 1972, when he moved back to the farm from metro NYC. Today, Dad runs the farm while Mark directs the fresh business sales, procurement, and industry relations. They leave all the other fun stuff to me as the CEO. Q. Your products are carried far beyond the Finger Lakes Region. What is the distribution? We’re really proud of the fact that when my grandparents purchased the farm in 1958, EVENTS they sold out of a 20x20 roadside shed. Now you can find our unique fresh fruits and 100% juice products from Texas to Maine. & Q. How has production changed over the years with the growth of the company? We used to grow on big old trees on 100 acres and make cider in a barn. I helped my grandfather fill jugs with a garden hose. Today we farm, under the strictest food safety guidelines, using high-tech plantings that utilize sustainable methods on over 500 acres. Our natural juices are made in a state-of-the-art production facility (LEED certified), using 100% green energy. Q. What would you like everyone to know about Red Jacket Orchards? We are looking forward to continuing to grow and to giving back. We are passionate about making great healthy products for our families and community. We love this region and take pride in employing the best local talent. They deserve all the credit.

  • Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural
    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 14, Issue 6 EVENTS NEWSLETTER June 2017 Celebrate Joyce’s Legacy on Varick Street on “Bloomsday” The city of Utica will be transformed into Dublin for one day on Saturday, June 17, as the Utica NY Area Irish Coalition will present its first “Bloomsday” Celebration with a pub crawl visiting seven stops along Varick Street in the city’s brewery district. In James Joyce’s monumental classic “Ulysses,” (often cited as the greatest English-language novel of all time) June 16 is the date that the book’s protagonist, Leopold Bloom, undertakes his one day sojourn through the streets of Dublin. Since the first two-man Bloomsday celebration in 1954, that date (or as near as practicable) continues to be celebrated in countries as far-ranging as Hungary, Italy, Australia and the Czech Republic, with a range of cultural activities including readings and dramatizations of scenes from the novel (as well as the responsible partaking of adult beverages). The UNYAIC event will start at noon with a brief gathering at Utica Brews, located at 809 Court St., Utica, and will proceed, in order, to the Saranac Brewery, Nail Creek Pub, the new Irish Cultural Building site, O’Donnell’s, The Sanctuary, and will finish at 5 PM at the Celtic Harp. Each stop will feature short readings from the book and live Irish music, and food and drinks will be available for purchase. Participants will receive a special commemorative T-shirt and will also get a passport stamped at each stop to be eligible for prize drawings at the end of the crawl.
