Friday, May 9

Imagine living on $30 a month for food. To raise funds and awareness for the Blandford Nature Center, Maria Gajewski made changes in her lifestyle for 30 days. We talk about the experience and this evening's celebration.

It's always good to spotlight talented West Michigan youth. 13 year old Patricia Schlutt, Crossroads Middle School eighth grader, has won the prestigious River of Words Environmental Art and Poetry Contest, with a trip to Washington, DC in store. We welcome Patricia and Mom Linda for the details.

The 5/3rd RiverBank Run is set to go Saturday and we talk about it. First up, Ironman Andy Holder joins TMS to talk about running with diabetes. Then, a Sports Med doc with Metro Health reminds us of the role his team plays on the day of the race.

Every month Dr. Alan Steinman joins us from the Annis Water Resources Institute to discuss the IJC Upper Great Lakes Study on water levels, which had a public meeting in Muskegon and an update on using water as an economic engine for the state.

On Tourist Talk with Promote Michigan's Dianna Stampfler, we take you around the state.

 
Coming Up

Only in America
Series concludes Wednesday, May 14 at 10 a.m.
Three hundred and fifty years ago, in September 1654, twenty-three impoverished Jews arrived by ship in New Amsterdam after having been expelled from Recife, Brazil. Adding insult to injury, Governor Peter Stuyvesant tried to expel them when they arrived. They refused to leave, successfully appealing Stuyvesant's order to the board of the Dutch West India Company. However, they were not allowed to build a synagogue, serve in the militia, vote or enjoy other rights accorded to New Amsterdam's citizens. This was the less than auspicious beginning of the Jewish experience in America.

The documentary series Only in America shows the progress of American Jews from this trickle of poor immigrants to today's thriving community of six million. The episodes are organized around themes, historical periods and individuals that illustrate important aspects of this American Jewish history.
