  • SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic
    Five Stations. Five Perspectives. SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic. JTV News joins forces with four other public television news programs from across the country to report on an issue getting national attention: the legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use. Cannabis Country brings those stories together to give viewers a full scope and N understanding of the hot topic. Examining the challenges for cannabis growers is KPBS (San Diego), from the financial investment to grow the crop to obtaining the state licensing and keeping the business afloat. “It’s far more difficult to make money in cannabis than most people realize and ultimately it’s going to be just like any other business….You have to create a real business infrastructure,” explains one grower. WGBH (Boston) digs deeper into the struggles between established medical cannabis providers and smaller entrepreneurial start-up businesses, while Arizona PBS investigates the struggles for would-be providers to obtain financing from banks for cannabis-based businesses. “We have to pay a lot of people in cash, which can be very challenging,” says one dispensary owner. “We have to have armed security at all times. And get cashier's checks or money orders to pay utilities.” WTTW (Chicago) weighs the controversial aspects and alleged benefits of medical marijuana, hearing from patients who swear it helps, but doctors who have yet to find proof of its remedies. Finally, NJTV News brings the story home, reporting on the legislative struggles to get recreational marijuana legalized in the Garden State, including the criminal justice system implications. NJ lawmakers recently called off a vote to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana that would have also expunged the records of PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 AT 8PM Learn more at njtvonline.org thousands of residents convicted of possession.

  • February 2018
    FEBRUARY 2018 Penne, Parmesan & Party Politics ho’s in for a night of Italian cuisine and political discourse? In a third season of Pasta & Politics with Nick Acocella, the Politifax editor combines his two passions in a delicious talk show that will have viewers salivating for what’s on the stove as well as the juice of the conversation. W WIn the first few episodes, former State Senators Ray Lesniak and Joe Kyrillos show off their culinary skills in the kitchen. Lesniak, the second longest serving state legislator in history, dives into creating a meatball lasagna and recounts his involvement in the panorama of progressive issues like marriage equality and environmental protection. Kyrillos brings some flavor from his own family to the program — his brother’s summer marinara rigatoni recipe — and wittily observes his own political career history and motivation. Between debating beach replenishment and Superstorm Sandy relief, Congressman Frank Pallone whisks eggs, pecorino and pepper and sautés pancetta for a hearty take on spaghetti carbonara. To combat the rich creaminess of that dish, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. whips up a heart-healthy no-carb pasta with roasted cauliflower, while speaking of his admiration and respect for those he has served with while representing New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District. A sure-to-please Italian meal of seared scallops over linguine with capers and lemon juice is prepped by Congressman Leonard Lance. After tasting his creation, Nick Acocella asked him about the instances when Lance defied his party leadership in both the State Legislature and Congress when his principles demanded it.

  • Arthur Lincoln Quirk, Jr. Date of Death: November 22, 2014 Arthur
    Arthur Lincoln Quirk, Jr. Date of Death: November 22, 2014 Arthur Lincoln Quirk, Jr. died on November 22, 2014. He entered Dartmouth from South Kingston (Rhode Island) High School and majored in history. Art was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, the Newman Club, and Sphinx. Art was widely-known as a superb baseball pitcher, playing for Dartmouth and during the summers in the Cape Cod League. Following graduation from Dartmouth and marriage to Kathleen (Kitty), Art entered professional baseball and pitched for several minor league teams including the Rochester Red Wings. He was then elevated to the major leagues and pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in 1962 and Washington Senators in 1963. He was inducted into the Dartmouth athletic hall of fame (the Wearers of the Green) in 1984 and the Cape Cod League Hall of Fame in 2009. Following retirement from professional baseball, Art pursued a long business career selling and marketing computer technology, culminating as chief executive of TravTech, a subsidiary of Travelers Insurance. Inspired by Kerri, his deaf and autistic daughter (now a recognized artist), Art was deeply dedicated to making a difference for people with special needs. He was a founding board member of Horizons, a non-profit Connecticut organization broadly focused on the needs of persons with disabilities and their families and served as board chairman of Horizons for thirty years. Plans are underway to construct The Artie Quirk Performing Arts and Athletic Center in recognition of his service to Horizons. Art served the Class of 1959 in a number of capacities and received special recognition from the college for his distinguished service as Class Treasurer from 2009-2014.

    For Immediate Release For more information, contact Rebecca Schimke, Communications Specialist [email protected] 414.263.8125 (O), 414.704.8879 (C) United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County Hosts Children’s Writer & Illustrator of Arthur Adventure Series, Marc Brown, to Promote Childhood Literacy Reading Blitz Day also celebrated Reader, Tutor, Mentor Volunteers. MILWAUKEE [March 25, 2015] – United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County hosted a Reading Blitz Day to celebrate a 3-year effort of recruiting and placing 4,800+ reader, tutor, and mentor volunteers throughout Greater Milwaukee. The importance of reading to kids cannot be overstated. “Once children start school, difficulty with reading contributes to school failure, which can increase the risk of absenteeism, leaving school, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, and teenage pregnancy - all of which can perpetuate the cycles of poverty and dependency.” according to the non-profit organization, Reach Out & Read. “United Way recognizes that caring adults working with children of all ages has the power to boost academic achievement and set them on the track for success,” said Karissa Gretebeck, marketing and community engagement specialist, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County. “We are thankful for the agency partners, other non-profits and schools who partnered with us to make this possible.” United Way also organized a book drive leading up to the day. New or gently used books were collected at 13 Milwaukee Public Library locations, Brookfield Public Library, Muskego Public Library and Martha Merrell’s Books in downtown Waukesha. Books from the drive will be donated to United Way funded partner agencies that were a part of the Reader, Tutor, Mentor effort.
