(L–R) Nine Network President and CEO Jack Galmiche and Prohibition producers Lynn Novick and Ken Burns.
Dear Friends, I would like to thank everyone in the St. Louis region who gave such a warm welcome to Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Their preview screening of Prohibition at the Peabody Opera House in September was just what we expected it to be—history in the making. We christened the Peabody with the largest audience ever to attend a screening with Ken Burns and then gave Prohibition its largest viewing audience in the country. Now, with an important national initiative we once again have the opportunity to bring St. Louis together as we connect our region to the world and the world to St. Louis. Few undertakings will ever be as critical to our region and to our entire country as American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen, a national, community-centered initiative to address the dropout crisis and improve highschool graduation rates across America. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting selected the Nine Network to lead American Graduate largely because of the strong community collaboration demonstrated in St. Louis during the peak of the mortgage crisis. We proved what can be done when we work together. And we can do it again. American Graduate will launch from St. Louis on November 7 at 7:00 p.m. when more than 100 area teachers come together in the Nine Network studio for a Teacher Town Hall moderated by Gwen Ifill. We will broadcast
the event locally and it will be streamed across the country. I hope you will have the opportunity to learn more about this unprecedented initiative— a unified force of teachers, students, parents, organizations, mentors, volunteers and major national partners working together to create a better future for our nation’s young people and for our country. I also invite you to enjoy our stellar lineup of programs this season on Nine PBS, Nine World, Nine Create and Nine Kids. One particular highlight is the new PBS Arts Fall Festival showcasing arts events from across the country. We will complement the series with some interesting new local arts features. And be sure to visit our new website, nineNet.org, where you can view programs free on demand and connect to organizations and events throughout our region. Thank you for your ongoing support. Yours truly,
Jack Galmiche President and CEO Nine Network of Public Media

The Nine Network of Public Media is Leading a Bold National Initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to Address the Dropout Crisis in America National Launch from St. Louis The national launch of American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen will occur in St. Louis on November 7 at 7:00 p.m. with the live broadcast of an American Graduate Teacher Town Hall moderated by Gwen Ifill, senior correspondent for PBS NewsHour and moderator and managing editor of Washington Week. More than 100 area teachers will participate in the St. Louis Teacher Town Hall, the first in a series being conducted in cities across the country. The Teacher Town Halls will serve as a catalyst to generate new conversations about education today and the realities faced by America’s teachers. The St. Louis Teacher Town Hall will also be streamed nationwide, and segments will be featured on PBS NewsHour. Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, will be in St. Louis for the launch event to emphasize the critical importance of American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen and the national effort to improve graduation rates in communities across the country.
The National Initiative The Nine Network of Public Media is leading the national initiative, which brings together for the first time teachers, parents, students, local leaders and major national partners working with trusted public media organizations in a community-centered approach to the dropout crisis. The multifaceted, five-year initiative is focused on building the knowledge, understanding, collaboration and resources required to improve high school graduation rates. The initiative includes public television and radio stations in 20 Hub markets across the country as well as national partnerships with America’s Promise Alliance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the National Center for Media Engagement (NCME), which is supporting additional public media engagement activities in 36 states. Each of the Hub stations, including the Nine Network, will focus on dropout prevention and recovery, working in partnership with schools, agencies and organizations at the community level. Much of the focus will be on creating multi-platform content, implementing education resources, and developing interactive learning tools and experiences, particularly for middle- and high-school students. Hub stations will also build collaborative networks of organizations in their communities and will create new pathways for mentors and volunteers to become involved in solutions. Continued on page 6

The Significance of the Dropout Crisis The staggering statistics mean that millions of young people enter adulthood without the preparation they need to become productive citizens. The future looks grim for the 1.3 million young people who drop out of high school in America each year.
• More than 7,000 students drop out of school in America every day.
These statistics also mean that our nation’s future is at stake. And the impact of the dropout crisis is being felt in communities across America. Four out of 10 dropouts receive some kind of government assistance. And dropouts are eight times more likely to become incarcerated. The annual cost to educate a student is $9,644. The annual cost to incarcerate a person is $22,600.
• Nationwide only 72% of students earn their high school diplomas.
In Missouri alone, reducing the dropout rate by 10 percent a year would produce $191 million in crime-related savings and would provide additional state income of $103 million. Investing in solutions to the dropout crisis would have a profound effect on our economy, on our national crime rate, and on our ability to compete in the global marketplace. nineNet.org
• In Missouri, an estimated 20,000 students dropped out of the Class of 2010.
• Among African-American and Hispanic students graduation rates are even lower. • In Missouri, only 56% of AfricanAmerican students and 57% of Hispanic students graduate from high school. • While the graduation rate in the St. Louis Public School District has improved, the graduation rate for the 2010–2011 school year was 62.2%.

Continued from page 4 In St. Louis, the Nine Network will benefit from the strong journalistic support of the St. Louis Beacon and St. Louis Public Radio to tell our community’s stories. We will also work directly with young people, helping them learn how to tell their own stories of the dropout crisis by building their digital storytelling skills through the Nine Academy.
National Public Media Producers National public media producers are approaching the dropout crisis from a range of perspectives to provide compelling on-air and online content. PBS NewsHour will feature segments of the American Graduate Teacher Town Halls and will emphasize school completion for students involved in the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs. StoryCorps recently launched the National Teachers Initiative to collect the stories of America’s educators and will be at the Nine Network for the St. Louis Teacher Town Hall. StoryCorps also created a new, story-based curriculum called StoryCorps U to help students develop literacy
learn American history and civics while providing teachers with classroom activities and resources. National Public Radio has already begun to broadcast stories about the dropout crisis on Weekend Edition and All Things Considered. And Tavis Smiley recently produced Too Important To Fail, the powerful story of African-American boys facing the challenges of staying in school. Across the nation, as we achieve new levels of understanding, share knowledge and work together on solutions, we will be creating an unprecedented opportunity to build a nation of graduates.
“ . . . an unprecedented opportunity to build a nation of graduates.” skills. StoryCorps U is being implemented in five classes at Gateway Institute of Technology, a St. Louis public high school. Roadtrip Nation is developing tool kits, community portals, road trips and interviews in Hub markets to establish a clear connection between staying in school and reaching career goals.

The Arts Are for Everyone
Janet Macoska
on Nine
Last year, more than 94 million people tuned in for more than 500 hours of arts and cultural programming on PBS. It is no wonder that PBS is recognized as America’s largest stage for the arts. The Nine Network of Public Media not only brings these and other outstanding arts programs to our region, but also stimulates interest in the diverse arts experiences available in our area. With more than 2 million viewers and 20,000 website visitors a month, the Nine Network reaches a large audience with local and national arts programs. St. Louis is one of the most vibrant arts regions in our country, and there are many individuals and organizations making it happen every day. By showcasing the arts in our region, we hope to help develop new audiences for art and encourage greater participation in and support for the arts. 8
People of all ages experience the arts on Nine PBS, Nine World, Nine Create and Nine Kids. But now we are making a wealth of programs and art connections available online. Our new website, nineNet.org, provides programs free on demand as well as connections to arts resources and our region’s arts events. The arts enrich our lives, bring people together and develop creative thinking. The arts also contribute to our economy. According to data from the Arts and Economic Prosperity III study conducted by the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission in partnership with Americans for the Arts, the arts in St. Louis constitute a $561 million industry that supports 8,809 full-time equivalent jobs in arts and culture.

That’s why a recent donation by the family of former Nine producer Jim Wilson is particularly significant. Wilson, who passed away in 2001, worked at Nine from 1977 to 1984. He collected many things, not the least of which were tapes of his own productions. This summer while cleaning out the family’s home, Wilson’s cousin discovered boxes and boxes of videotapes that Wilson saved, and brought them to the Nine Network. Among the 150 cassettes, some dating to 1979, are episodes of the minority affairs show Postscript and the journalism ethics series The Media and You. Nine only has one video machine left that can still play the tapes’ outdated 3/4-inch format. Nine producer Jim Kirchherr, who is combing through the collection before it’s archived, says, “A lot of

The arts have always been an important part of Nine’s programming, and no one championed music, theatre and dance more than Ruhlin. He created the multi-Emmy-Award-winning series St. Louis Skyline, a weekly arts magazine for which he personally won three Emmys, an Iris and three CEN awards. Not only did St. Louis Skyline win Ruhlin many awards, it introduced him to his wife, AnneMarie Skinner, who hosted the program. He also won Emmys for In Concert: Mid America Dance Company, Jazz at the Moose, A Performer’s Diary, Captain Kangaroo’s St. Louis Special and Whitaker Competition Winners. Continued on page 15

Among his other diverse arts-themed productions were Singin’ the Gospel Truth, Riverboat Ragfest and Joruri: Making of an Opera—all Emmy nominees. As producer, Ruhlin also took on the job of assembling a rowdy mix of media personalities and turning them into the charismatic cast of Donnybrook, which debuted in 1987. “Andy was a real favorite of mine,” remembers longtime Donnybrook provocateur Martin Duggan. “He gave us a valuable piece of advice before our first show. He said, ‘Just remember one word: energy.’ And we did. Through the years, that’s what kept us lively.”

Volunteers Find Friends Michelle Hart, Holly Ross and Kathy Stotler live nearly 40 miles from one another and may never have met if they hadn’t volunteered at the Nine Network. The three met while answering phones during pledge breaks for Celtic Thunder and have been close friends ever since. Collectively they have given their time to participate in membership drives, to work Nine’s booth at art fairs in Clayton and Belleville, and to help out at the Cat and the Hat event at the Magic House. They feel good about the work they are doing because their service impacts the lives of their neighbors, friends and family.
Good friends (L–R) Michelle Hart, Kathy Stotler and Holly Ross met while working as Nine volunteers.
Stotler says, “It gives me a feeling of inner fulfillment with every event I volunteer for. I cannot always give as much financial support as I would like to, and I feel that this is a way I can contribute to something worthwhile.” These women love being able to know how things work behind the scenes and to receive invitations to many of the Nine Network’s special events. Hart always looks forward to new opportunities that come with volunteering. Her daughter and son frequently volunteer with her and because she is able to share these experiences with her family, she says, “Nine has really enriched our lives.” Most importantly, though, these three volunteers enjoy the benefit of creating lifelong friendships. One of the major perks of volunteering, nineNet.org
they say, is meeting so many interesting people. “I’ve met a great group of friends and it is all because of the Nine Network,” says Ross. There are many volunteer opportunities available at Nine. Volunteer manager Brittany Farmer will help find a position that is right for you. Contact her at bfarmer@ketc.org or (314) 512-9031. —Megan Gilliland
Youth at Risk Marissa is a 17-year-old girl who has nowhere to live with her 16-monthold baby. Fortunately, she found Almost Home, a St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund agency that provides transitional housing for teenage mothers. Marissa’s story is just one of many that are told as part of the Nine Network’s ongoing Youth at Risk: Finding Solutions Together initiative, which seeks to connect troubled young people with needed services. Before the end of the year, viewers will be able to see two full-length Living St. Louis stories and five shorter pieces about existing programs for troubled young people; factors that cause youth homelessness, addiction and abuse; and how these problems affect the greater community. Meanwhile, the Nine Academy is working with agencies of the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund, Nine’s partner in this initiative, to help them use video to tell the stories of the issues they deal with daily. Their videos will become a part of the Nine Network’s new Youth at Risk website, youthatriskstl.org, which will also feature the Living St. Louis stories, the shorter segments, connections to local resources and a list of safe places that will help young people in crisis. The Nine Network is now an official Safe Place location.

Proud to Support the Nine Network & Donnybrook
Meet the Board Thad Simon The broad interests of newly appointed Nine Network board member Thad Simons, the president and CEO of Novus International, Inc., are reflected in the other boards on which he serves: Contemporary Art Museum, United Way of St. Louis, Corporate Council on Africa and St. Louis Zoo. Simons enjoys Nine’s programming, particularly PBS NewsHour, Nova ScienceNOW and Ken Burns’ documentaries, but it was the Nine Network’s use of technology and educational programming to engage with the community and broader world that compelled him to become involved with the organization. “The Nine Network is a platform for both uniting people at the local level and for providing access to our global community,” he says. “With Nine’s increased focus on social media, it is in a unique position to serve as a hub of information for our community.” He supports Nine because it aligns with the mission, vision and values of Novus, “from the treasure of Sesame Street for children to education about healthy lifestyles for adults.”

The Nine Network makes St. Louis a better community because it offers so many avenues through programming to contemplate the world from new viewpoints. “Public broadcasting has a rich heritage of providing a global perspective and I see this as a very important part of what the Nine Network contributes to the community,” states Simons. “Nine provides access to the broader world for the entire spectrum of their viewers from small children to adults.”

St. Louis Recipes
1 teaspoon hot sauce 1 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 (5- to 6-pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into steaks Pepper
Cook’s Country From America’s Test Kitchen wraps up in December, but it’s going out on a high note with an episode based on St. Louis cooking styles. The press materials say that the series “uncovers blue-ribbon regional specialties.” Translated, that means that for this show, they highlight two dishes that have graced the table of nearly every St. Louisan’s home: Imo’sstyle pizza and barbecued pork steaks. The St. Louis Cooking episode airs Wednesday, December 14 at 1:00 p.m. and again on Saturday, December 24 at 1:30 p.m.
1. Make sauce: Whisk ketchup, beer, A.1., sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, hot sauce and liquid smoke in large bowl. Transfer to large disposable aluminum pan. 2. Heat grill: Heat all burners on high, covered, for 15 minutes. (For charcoal grill, light about 100 coals. When coals are covered with fine gray ash, spread evenly over bottom of grill. Set cooking grate in place and heat covered, with lid vent open halfway, for 5 minutes.) Scrape and oil cooking grate.
Every family has a perfect recipe for pork steaks. Try this one out and let us know how it stacks up to yours.
3. Sear and simmer: Season pork steaks with pepper and grill until well-browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to pan with sauce, cover with foil, and place pan on grill. Turn all burners to low and cook, covered, until steaks are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 90 minutes. Check the sauce after it has been on the grill for about an hour. If it looks thick and dry, add water to adjust the consistency.
St. Louis BBQ Pork Steak Serves 6 to 8
Keller + Keller
11/2 cups ketchup 2 cups light-bodied American-style beer 1/4 cup A.1. sauce 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder
4. Final Sear: Using potholders, remove pan from grill and turn all burners to high. (For charcoal grill, light about 50 coals. When coals are covered with fine gray ash, remove grill grate and scatter evenly over spent coals.) Remove steaks from pan and grill until lightly charred around edges, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Skim fat from sauce and serve with steaks.

Nine to Grow On Jacques Pepin’s New Series
Hugh Jackman Adds Star Power to Kimchi Chronicles
Legendary chef Jacques Pepin, whose career spans six decades, has, for the first time ever, collected and updated his favorite recipes for a new public television program. The 26-episode series, Essential Pepin, airs on Nine PBS Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. beginning November 5 and Mondays at 1:00 p.m. beginning November 7.
Part travelogue, part food fantasy and part Hollywood grapevine, Kimchi Chronicles follows acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, his Korean-born wife, Marja, and their famous friends as they explore and celebrate Korea’s cuisine and culture. The series airs on Nine Create Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.
