We hope you’ll tune in to WXXI January 11 through January 17 for special TV and radio programs, as well as news reports and community conversations on Connections with Evan Dawson. (Turn the page and you’ll find highlights of some of the programs scheduled as part of this initiative.)

The vital work of Dialogue on Disability has served as a model for our current work with the Golisano Foundation and our Move to Include initiative. Move to Include allows us to continue to bring our community special TV and radio programming, news features, film screenings with panel discussions, and other offerings that promote inclusion throughout the year. Recently, Move to Include hosted a free screening of the film Autism in Love followed by a panel discussion with autism experts and the film’s producer. We had a great turnout for the event, including a group of students from Nazareth College’s Special Education Degree Program. If you missed the screening, you can watch it on January 11 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV. Working together with partners like Al Sigl and the Golisano Foundation helps us bring about positive change in our community. Your support is key to making our work with these initiatives possible.

As I wish you a Happy New Year, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that 2016 marks WXXI-TV’s 50th year of broadcasting! September 6, 1966 was the actual day we signed on the air, with a broadcast of the Mikado and a program featuring Julia Child baking chocolate mousse! We hope you will join us in celebrating this important date in the history of public media in Rochester. You will be seeing and hearing a lot more about WXXI’s anniversary – culminating in an Open House this September! Until then, I hope you enjoy everything we have in store – and thank you for helping make us a vital community resource for the past 50 years!

Norm Silverstein [email protected] @normWXXI Q&A WITH A WXXI Underwriter Needle and Herb, Center for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, has two locations in the Rochester area: Greece and Brighton. Owner Christine Torres, L.Ac., explains how this system of medicine promotes healing. Q: What would you like the WXXI audience to know about Needle and Herb? A. There is now a substantial body of research, including Cochrane Reviews (highly-regarded among doctors), to support the efficacy of acupuncture, particularly as it relates to pain. For this reason, many insurance companies, including Excellus, offer plans with acupuncture coverage. With a Master’s degree in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, I specialize in all types of pain treatment, including backaches and headaches, as well as mood disorders, such as anxiety. Q. What distinguishes Needle and Herb from other similar businesses in the Rochester area? A. Personalization of services. By limiting the number of patients in a given timeframe, I provide the best care possible and my full attention. Also, I believe I am the only Spanish-speaking acupuncturist in Rochester. Q. Describe a typical acupuncture session. A. After a brief intake with patients regarding any changes in their symptoms or other concerns, the patient lies on a massage table while needles are inserted. After the patient listens to pleasant music for about 15 minutes, I remove needles and do any adjunctive therapies, such as Chinese medical massage, or discussion of possible herbal remedies. The entire session lasts about an hour. Q. How are acupuncture needles different from the average needle? A. Approximately 35-40 acupuncture needles could fit into the barrel of a hypodermic needle. Q. What does acupuncture actually do in relation to fertility? Depression? A. Traditionally, acupuncture is understood to move qi throughout the “channels” of the body. Modernly, we understand these “channels” to correspond to the nervous and vascular systems of the body. Research shows that acupuncture affects a great number of body substances including serotonin, histamine, noradrenalin and dopamine. It mediates the body’s inflammatory response and affects heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. We can see how acupuncture might affect depression when we look at the body substances it affects, such as dopamine and serotonin. In fertility, we must look at a woman’s menstrual cycle. For a woman to become pregnant, her body must produce a healthy egg and ovulate. These processes are dependent on the balance of a number of hormones which are affected by acupuncture. Acupuncture has quite a regulatory effect on the body chemistry and menstrual cycle. www.needleandherb.com N EW S & EVE NTS Christine Torres, Owner To learn more about underwriting on WXXI, email [email protected] DIALOGUE ON DISABILITY Since 2003, WXXI and the Al Sigl Community of Agencies have worked together to help break the ingrained stereotypes about individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities with its week-long initiative, Dialogue on Disability.

... BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF the REVOLUTION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22 AT 7P.M. AT THE LITTLE THEATRE Join WXXI for a FREE screening of this Indie Lens Pop-Up film that highlights an iconic and unsettled period of change in American culture. A new revolutionary culture emerged in the turbulent 1960s, and the Black Panther Party was at the vanguard. Weaving together a treasure trove of rare footage with the voices of a diverse group of people who were there, director Stanley Nelson tells the vibrant story of a pivotal movement that feels timely all over again.

Support for this Indie Lens Pop-Up presentation is made possible by: ITVS, Independent Lens, and CPB. n e xt mont h
