s American philosopher Alan Watts once wrote “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge

into it, move with it, and join the dance,” which is a fitting way to open this month’s column. As technology fuels a dramatic shift in how one can access our programming, and beloved members of the NPR family retire, we at WHRO Public Media are responding with new technology and new programs.

This month we are introducing a new multimedia app which allows you to enjoy all of your favorite PBS, NPR, WHRO FM, and WHRV FM programs wherever you are, whenever you want! Just search the Apple and Android stores for WHRO and download the app for no charge. With one swipe, you can access the programming you love on your tablet or phone.

A Prairie Home Companion (APHC) is a program you probably thought would never change. In fact, it’s so iconic, APHC practically equals NPR in the minds of many listeners. As you may have heard, longtime host Garrison Keillor has announced his retirement. Tens of millions of Americans have listened to APHC and now the kids from Lake Wobegon have graduated from college and they’re living in the city. Their lives and interests are different than their parents’—they’re younger and have different media habits—but they still care deeply about the core values that public media listeners’ across the country share.

Continuing the A Prairie Home Companion tradition, but in a new way, is host, Chris Thile. Chris is a genius-literally a MacArthur Genius. He’s young, energetic and gifted with a range of talents. You may have heard him as guest host this season when he booked fantastic guests including Paul Simon, Andrew Bird, Brandi Carlile, and Maria Bamford. Garrison Keillor’s last broadcast is in July.

Car Talk went into “best-of” mode a few years ago after the Magliozzi brothers decided to retire. With the death of Tom Magliozzi in November 2014, our thoughts turned to the eventual replacement of another NPR legacy program. Repeat programming and references to 1980s cars prompted many of you to ask me what might be coming next. So while it was a difficult decision, we’re retiring Car Talk on June 25. Since the original Car Talk lives on as a podcast, you can download that too! In its place, we will now offer On Story which covers the world of filmmaking. Hosted by Jeff Ramos, On Story invites listeners into writers’ rooms, film sets, and gets inside the heads of some of the most prolific voices in film and television such as screenwriters and directors behind Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Deadwood, True Detective, House of Cards, Freaks and Geeks, There Will Be Blood, Silence of the Lambs, Ghostbusters, Silicon Valley, and 12 Years a Slave. Set your dial on WHRV 89.5 FM Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. starting July 2 for the debut of On Story.

Finally, as I do with every issue, I want to thank you for your support. First let me offer a warm welcome if you are receiving our member guide for the first time! Many thanks to all of you who helped us meet our financial goals during the pledge drive. And now in the words of Alan Watts, let’s join the dance!

One of the world’s most remarkable actors brings a stirring detective series to an end as Kenneth Branagh plays his last season as Inspector Kurt Wallander, based on the novels of Henning Mankell. Masterpiece Mystery! charts the final exploits of the brooding Swede in three nail-biting concluding episodes, airing Sundays, May 8–22, at 9:00 p.m. on WHRO TV15.

Dealing with northern Europe’s most violent and deranged criminals, Wallander also battles personal demons and appalling health habits. Branagh’s portrayal of this terrifying struggle is a heartbreaking performance.

In the final season, Wallander keeps burning his candle at both ends, dodging knives, bullets, vicious dogs, homicidal motorcyclists, and a sense that he is losing his focus. Will mishap, medical leave, suspension, or a well-earned retirement be his final exit from this punishing profession?

Farewell, Old Friend

As we all enjoy more of our favorite programs via mobile and on-demand, WHRO has created a one-stop destination for all your Public TV and radio content, our free WHRO media app.

For WHRV and WHRO FM listeners, the new app offers access to all six live radio streams, and lets you listen to on-demand, locally produced radio shows. It offers the latest NPR News articles and audio segments, lets you pause and rewind live audio, and view the program schedule.

For WHRO TV viewers, the app gives access to a huge selection of the PBS programs you love with hundreds of hours of on-demand programming, such as Masterpiece, NOVA, and Antiques Roadshow, as well as all locally produced programs like The Scene and Veterans. It’s also your destination for up-to-date TV schedules.

The WHRO app is your personal connection to your favorite media. It can push program reminders to your device, explore on-demand content, search for programs, bookmark a program for later, and wake you up to the voice of Dwight Davis or Sondra Woodward as your alarm clock.

The app is scheduled to be released on the iTunes store for iPhone and iPad early this month, and just a few weeks later for Android and Kindle users – Just search your app store for WHRO. If you use our existing radio app, the new one will come as a free update. You can always visit whro.org/apps for easy links to download.

New midday host on WHRV You’ve probably noticed the absence of our midday host, Victor Russo, while listening to WHRV during the day. We were sad to see him go, and wish him well in his endeavors in New York. In the meantime, Jeff Sandner has stepped into the role temporarily until June, when Victor’s permanent replacement, longtime WHRV producer and announcer Barry Graham, takes over as your new midday host.

Barry will join us in June, at the conclusion of his long career as a successful civics teacher at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach. Earlier this year, he made the decision to hang up his teacher’s hat and start a second career with us full time, doing what he really loves–radio! Be sure to drop Jeff a note and thank him for all that he does, at jeff.sandner@whrv.org, and while you’re at it, I hope you’ll drop Barry a note as well and let him know how welcome he will be as the new midday host at WHRV. Barry can be reached at barry.graham@whrv.org

Selected ShortsSaturday mornings, 7:00 a.m. on WHRV 89.5 FM

We are thrilled that some lucky WHRV listeners were able to experience Selected Shorts live April 30 when they came to Push Comedy Theater on Granby in Norfolk, as part of the Virginia Arts Festival Fringe! Fans of the show were treated to some extraordinary talent; Valorie Curry (American Pastoral), Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), and Sam Underwood (The Following) performed moving, comical, and surprising stories about unexpected encounters.

Selected Shorts, a weekly public radio show broadcast on over 150 stations, is one of the premier reading series in New York City and consistently ranks as one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. The stories are always fiction, sometimes classic, sometimes new, and always performed by great actors from stage, screen and television who bring these short stories to life. Evenings are often co-hosted by writers, literary producers, and other interesting characters.

Lyric Opera of Chicago broadcastsSaturday, May 21 at 1:00 p.m.

This spring brings the return to the air of productions from Lyric Opera of Chicago. Founded in 1954, Lyric has always distinguished itself by presenting the finest international singers, conductors, directors, and designers in classic and less-familiar operatic repertoire and in world-premiere productions. One such premiere occurs on May 21 at 1:00 p.m. on WHRO-FM – Bel Canto, by Peruvian composer Jimmy Lopez. This timely opera wrestles with terrorism, the tenuous relationships between people, and, in true Magical-Realist fashion, the power of music to overcome conflict and adversity.

n Friday, May 6, we will welcome twelve of the area’s most creative young minds into our studio for

the 2016 WHRO Young Storytellers Awards Show, an event that congratulates local children for writing and illustrating their own original stories.

This year marks the twenty-second year WHRO has held a writers and illustrators

contest for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The contest’s name has changed over the years, from the Reading Rainbow to the PBS Kids Writers Contest, but its purpose has always been the same: to cultivate a love for reading and writing in children.

This year, we received nearly 400 entries from local students in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Their stories can be fact or fiction, poetry or prose. They are all judged on originality, creative expression, storytelling, and integration of illustrations. At the end, there will be one first and one second place winner chosen from each grade level.

All of the winners and their families are invited to WHRO’s television studio for a live taping of the awards ceremony where each child will be honored and recorded reading their winning story.

These young storytellers can be viewed presenting their creative tales in a WHRO

The Area’s Best Young Storytellers Come to WHROYoung Storytellers special on WHRO 15.1 on Sunday, May 29, at 4:00 p.m. You can also watch the show and learn more about our Writers Contest at:education.whro.org/writerscontest

In Remembrance

Amazing Gracebroadcasting in 1957. Grace was one of the pioneers of using the technology of television as a teaching tool for children.

She convinced local broadcasters to donate their studio time and equipment during daytime hours, enabling teachers to give lessons live to thousands of students throughout Hampton Roads. Eventually, she worked to establish the first Public Television station in Eastern Virginia. Initially owned by two public school divisions in Hampton and Norfolk, WHRO is now owned by 19 school divisions.

During her tenure at WHRO, the organization was recognized nationally as a leader in instructional television, earning the prestigious Peabody Award in 1972, and she also served the corporation as an interim Station Manager.

After retiring from WHRO in 1977, Grace served as president of the Woman’s Club of Norfolk, president of the Tidewater

World Organization of China Painters, and president of of the Residents’ Association of Westminster Canterbury. Grace also was a member/officer of the AAUW, Norfolk Chamber of Commerce Women’s Division, the Southern Educational Communications Association, and many more. She is listed in both the Who’s Who of the South and Southwest of American Women and the World’s Who’s Who of Women.

Grace is survived by three children, eight grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. She was a beacon of strength, determination, and held a steadfast belief that knowledge and learning should be made available to everyone. Grace touched the lives of thousands of people, and most of them never knew her name. We at WHRO fondly remember her, and are continually inspired by her vision.

HRO remembers a dear friend and lifelong advocate for education, Grace Nichols Johnson Waters Bisese, 98,

who passed away peacefully on March 18, 2016, in Virginia Beach.

Grace’s long career in education began after receiving her master’s degree from the College of William & Mary. She taught at Coleman Place and Crossroads elementary schools for almost 20 years before becoming involved with educational

lmost four years ago, President Obama made a proclamation to recognize May 28, 2012, through

November 11, 2025, as the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. The proclamation stated the federal government will partner with local governments and organizations to honor and thank those who served in “one of the most challenging missions we have ever faced.”

This past March 29, 2016, the day the last U.S. combat troops left Vietnam 43 years ago, the Hampton VA held a Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration and Pinning Ceremony attended by dignitaries, military officials, many Vietnam vets, friends, and families. The atmosphere was one of

comradery, support, and gratitude as veterans, civilians, and active duty military came together to honor those who served.

When asked about what the day and the ceremony meant to him, Vietnam vet Walter Cuffee shared, “When I came back from Vietnam we were ashamed to wear our uniform because of the political climate in the country. Today I was really touched by people realizing we served our country in an honorable way.”

The keynote was given by Command Sergeant Major Michael Gragg, whose father served in the Vietnam War. He spoke of the struggles Vietnam veterans faced upon return. “Young men and women who had been exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam were exposed to a

different type of Agent Orange here at home. It attacked their hearts causing wounds that would take a lifetime to heal.”

Ray Jackson, who was a corporal in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, spoke of how difficult it was coming to ceremonies in the past. “I didn’t make it because I didn’t feel I was ready to receive the welcome. Now I can talk to my buddies who feel the same way I did and let them know that everything will be OK and we can celebrate this together.”

The day did feel like a celebration–a long overdue one for many. CSM Gragg asked his father for advice on his speech; his father said, “Just say thank you and welcome home.”

Let’s Eat

oin WHRO for an overnight trip as we tour some notable locations in Kinston, NC that have been featured

on A Chef’s Life.

Travel by luxury motor coach, visit Mother Earth Brewery, and dine at Vivian’s restaurants, Chef & the Farmer and The Boiler Room. You will spend the night at Hampton Inn and will return the next day following a cooking demonstration with Vivian. This trip is set for May 19–20, 2016.

In 2006, Vivian and Ben opened Chef & the Farmer to celebrate the culture and cuisine of eastern North Carolina. Everything from the bread to the ice cream is made in-house, and all summer long Chef & the Farmer’s kitchen staff puts up preserves, pickles, and jellies to be enjoyed all year long. Combining polished yet warm service, a killer wine list and exceptional innovative food, Chef & the Farmer has earned the reputation of a destination restaurant worth the trip.

The Boiler Room is a fresh perspective on an Eastern Carolina Style Oyster Bar. By fresh they mean burgers with local beef ground daily and oysters from their very own coast that are shucked as fast as you can eat ‘em. The ticket price covers all of your expenses except for alcoholic beverages. Tickets are limited and cost $500 each. To purchase tickets, please contact Gail Busby at 757.889.9334.

id you ever have to call home when you were 18, 19, or 20? Maybe you needed money for books, gas, or

rent? Or advice about a teacher, co-worker, who you were dating at the time, or just to share some good news. Regardless of the reason, you called home because you had someone there who would support you, cared about you, and could help. For many of us it is hard to imagine not having that family support. However, for many children who reach 18 while in foster care, there is often no one to call.

As of December 2015 there were over 5,000 children in foster care (Virginia Department of Social Services). Some reports estimate about one-quarter of Virginia youth in foster care turn 18, or “age out” of the system, without a permanent home. “When a child is not adopted and simply ages out of foster care the consequences are dire,” said Nadine Marsh-Carter, President and CEO of the Children’s Home Society of Virginia. “One in four of them end up in jail within two years of getting out of foster care; one in five

By Nancy RoganDirector of Community EngagementNancy.Rogan@whro.org

end up homeless.” Additionally, only 50% of foster youth complete high school by 18, only 20% of foster youth who graduated from high school attend college, and less than 3% of former foster youth attain a bachelor’s degree by age 25.

Fortunately there are organizations to help these youth. One local organization is the Together We Can Foundation. The organizations points out:

Their programs “focus on some of the most critical factors that impact disconnection rates: high school graduation or acquisition of a G.E.D., pursuit of post-secondary education or vocational training, employment, and the capacity to manage independent living.”

As with any struggling youth, mentors can have tremendous impact on the lives of foster youth. There are local organizations that offer programs to connect mentors to youth, such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, The Up Center, StandUp for Kids–Hampton Roads, the YMCA, and Communities in Schools, to name just a few.

You can help. Become an American Graduate Champion, mentor a youth. For more information, go to:amgrad.whro.org/champions/

90% graduation rate by 2020, American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen.

What If You Can’t Call Home

...these young people leave foster care without a direction, without a plan, without savings, without skills and without a safety net of family and caring adults.

The SceneTheScene.whro.org

Heather Bryant and Lorraine Fink are two artists who, by most accounts, would appear to be very different but have much in common.

The Chesapeake Fine Arts Commission joins us for second season of support as we look inside the studio of a clay sculptor, watch a young family melt and mold glass, and meet a family of musicians.

John Tobin is local artist and sculptor who works in clay and mixed media out of his home studio.

Robin and Julia Rogers met in a small hot glass studio in western Montana in 2001, where their paths intersected and eventually merged in glass and art.

The Hunts are an indie-folk band from the southlands of Chesapeake, Virginia.

The Portsmouth Fine Arts Commission and Newport News Arts Commission also lend support again with videos from a quilter, two painters, and two singers.

his month, The Scene takes on a third season highlighting artists in the 757. This season, we follow the lives of local

artists whose stories are as varied as the type of art they create.

In Williamsburg, The Scene will be exploring a bronze sculptor and a singer. Both artists’ stories are as unique as the other.

Merrilee Cleveland’s work is mostly cast bronze and ranges in scale from miniature to monumental.

The Norfolk Arts Commission continues their support for a second year as we delve into the world of a photographer, an illustrator and sculptor.

Greta Pratt studies the issues of national identity and American myth through photo essays.

Sam Hundley is a professional designer and illustrator, working for the Virginian-Pilot during the day.

T Sandy Curran is an award-winning artist, who took the traditional form of quilt-making and made it her own by adding paint, texture, and complete storylines to her work.

Randy Hess is a local framer, furniture fabricator, and antique restorer.

Sunny Gicz is the daughter of a local accordion player and co-collaborator in the band Sunny and Gabe.

Bobby “BlackHat” Walters is an award-winning recording artist, vocalist, harmonica player, songwriter, and even actor.

You can view these videos every Wednesday at 7:57 p.m. by logging on whro.org/thescene for all episodes.

In Remembrance

A Man of the Peoplea few weeks after convincing the legislature to embark on sweeping reforms of high school education in Virginia. Senator Miller was 68.

Former Senator and Christopher Newport University President Paul S. Trible was John’s friend for forty years, and remembers him as a thoughtful and compassionate man. “He was a man of real integrity who always wanted to do the right things,” said Trible. “John Miller was one of the good guys who cared about the health and education of children, and he really loved his family and our community.”

Miller’s high school reforms will emphasize development of core skills in the first years of high school, and will set up multiple paths to college or the workplace. In addition to his efforts in education, Miller fought to convince the General Assembly of the need for independent, nonpartisan redistricting and to crack down on predatory lending.

“He had a clear vision of the challenges facing Virginia, and he put forward clear goals for reaching solutions on issues ranging from climate change to redistricting reform,” said Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Elected in 2007, Miller won re-election in 2011 and 2015 in a district that included parts of Newport News, Hampton, York County, James City County, and all of Williamsburg.

Before his time as a public servant, John worked as a journalist at WVEC-TV for 18 years, and in the 1980s was a top aide to then Sen. Paul Trible. He was also senior manager here at WHRO and at Christopher Newport University.

He is survived by his wife, Sharron, along with two adult children, a daughter, Jenny, and a son, John.
