So, what IS the "lame duck" session in Lansing actually doing? Helping schools? Protecting the environment? Fixing roads? 15th District (mostly just the Dearborn area) Representative George Darany comes by for a live in-studio interview, when we'll ask for a legislative update--with explanations or rationales, as needed.
Rouge Education Project, Benthic Macroinvertebrate Sampling, Frog & Toad Surveys, Fish Monitoring, River Restoration and the Rouge Rescue all have one thing in common: Friends of the Rouge! Hear Lynn interview this exciting and diverse group which has been making a positive difference in the community for 30 years!
How exactly did the local election races turn out? And why? CRAIG FARRAND, columnist for the Dearborn Press & Guide, joins hosts John and Jay for our unique roundup of the results and analysis about the votes in our local area that you won't hear elsewhere. But first, we'll talk to HFC Theatre area head GEORGE POPOVICH about the currently running production: Dinosaurus!, a Virtual Reality experience--live action and computer-generated action (including a 20 ft tall Tyrannosaurus Rex).
In the first half hour, an interview with Tony Guerrero, candidate for 19th District Court judge.
Continuing our effort to inform you about the choices you need to make in the Nov. 4th election, we first interview Dearborn Schools Superintendent Brian Whiston about the "Hold Harmless" millage renewal proposal, and then speak with Debbie Dingell, Democratic candidate to represent the 12th District to the U.S. Congress. No sound bites allowed, and no attacks on other candidates!
What is a Trunker, you ask? How can you safely celebrate the Halloween festivities with your kids this season? Listen to this episode of Impact! as Lynn discusses Trunk or Treat with several community leaders. Plus, more area happenings you'll find more than entertaining for the whole family. From hayrides, to donuts and cider, even movies for the kiddies AND, just for the adults. It's Impact! A talk show specifically designed to keep you abreast of what's happening in and around metro Dearborn, available for download anytime. From the only station making waves, WHFR.
Challengers, not incumbents--WHFR continues its quest to reveal what the other stations don't: all the choices you really have as a voter in the Nov. 4th election. The Green Party candidate for Governor, Paul Homeniuk, discusses the Ten Pillars of the Green Party Platform (more than just 'tree-hugging'!), as well as why voting for someone other than a Democrat or Republican makes sense.
Like listening to live music? Fancy yourself someone others should listen to? Both are possible at Livonia's historic Thrinity House Theatre. Learn about this unique venue when Lynn speaks with Bill Keith, Trinity House Board President and concert coordinator, on the next edition of IMPACT!, the show about individuals and groups making a positive difference in the community.
Here are two more candidate interviews--with challengers not incumbents--before the Nov. 4th election. Today, they have been prerecorded, but certainty still give insights not possible with "sound bites" allowed by other media.
Continuing our series of interviews with political candidates in the Nov. 4th election--with challengers rather than incumbents--we will be talking today with Terry Bowman, Republican challenger for the U.S. Congress, 12th district (crazily gerrymandered to run from Ann Arbor through some of Dearborn and on down to Trenton). Note: we are giving candidates for Governor about 30 minutes each and others about 15 minutes--no 10-second sound bites!
WHFR-FM begins the election season with an interview with Mary Buzuma, Libertarian, running for Governor of Michigan. No sound bites here--we'll spend a full 30 minutes exploring her views (unlike how most other media seem to deny the existence of legal candidates). In upcoming weeks before the Nov. 4th election, we'll focus on the challengers not the incumbents, so you can make the best choices with your votes.
