On the TV side, WXXI will be shooting 10 new episodes of Second Opinion. Our national health care series, now entering its 12th season, just received a Silver Communicator Award and a Bronze Telly Award (for excellence) for its “Teen Depression” episode in the Film/Video Health and Wellness category. Congratulations go out to Second Opinion’s production team. For information on any of the issues addressed on Second Opinion, visit secondopinion-tv.org. It’s a great resource, encompassing every episode of this award-winning series. Our news department continues to grow and have impact beyond the Greater Rochester area. We received two grants that will enhance our efforts. One is an upstate news hub project, funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It is intended to enhance the quality of news content and strengthen regional coverage on TV, radio and online. We are also embarking on an innovative citizen journalism project called “YelleR” with partners WDKX radio, Hacks/Hackers Rochester, RIT’s Journalism faculty, and the Department of Adolescence Education at Nazareth College. The YelleR project will allow the creation of a “Citizen Journalism” mobile app, as well as community outreach initiatives, to broaden news consumption and participation among traditionally underserved populations, such as minorities and citizens under 30. We’re proud to be the lead station in these initiatives! We could not respond to the needs and interests of our community without the generous support of our members. As June comes to a close and we prepare to end our fiscal year, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution by June 30. Your support will allow us to end the year stronger –and will help us springboard into the next fiscal year! Norm Silverstein, WXXI President [email protected] Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER In June 2012 a new restaurant and cocktail bar featuring French wine and country French cuisine opened at The Rochester Public Market. Cure Co-owner, Chuck Cerankosky, provides some insights about the Rochester restaurant scene. Q. Why do you feel Cure is a valuable asset to the Greater Rochester community? I feel that Cure joins an increasingly vibrant cloth of Rochester restaurants by offering a unique take on Gaelic comfort food. My partner, Dan Martello, and I feel like we identified a NTS void in Rochester›s restaurant scene, and filled it with an establishment that is on-par with analogous restaurants in New York and Chicago. Q. What is the most challenging aspect associated with owning/managing a restaurant? Finding the balance between expressing creative energies via cuisine, drink and atmosphere, and committing time to management and operational obligations is most challenging. A well-oiled restaurant requires an enormous amount of behind-the- scenes setup and maintenance, with the operator wearing a whole manner of hats, from electrician to accountant. The trick is to commit the proper energies to the tasks while EVE reserving enough for what is most important: making your guests happy! Q. What distinguishes Cure from other restaurants in the Greater Rochester area? A unique, French– and charcuterie-based menu, an all-French wine list, and an ambitious & cocktail menu featuring eclectic spirits and bespoke cocktails (like the recipe below)!
