How a department called “Weights and Measures” protects you, the consumer… avoiding ticks and the bugs they carry… Supervisor Rodoni talks to the leader of the local Health and Human Services center… and Community Buzz rounds up a preview of Western Weekend.

This week is an A Week, and given all that’s going on in the world, let’s say “A” stands for “Awareness.” One way to be more aware is to check out our in-depth on-air conversations on A-week programs like Commonweal Conversations on Tuesday at 12pm, Morning Mike at 8am on Thursday, or Nonviolence Radio on Friday at 9am!

This weekend is Western Weekend in West Marin, and KWMR will broadcast the parade live starting at noon. When the rooster crows and the cow moos, we’ll go live with parade commentary. This year, the announcers of the parade entries will once again be Robert Cardwell, Dolores Gonzalez, and Matt Gallagher, in both English and Spanish over the KWMR airwaves. 

We’re gearing up for Western Weekend by running interviews with local participants in sponsors, like MALT, Brickmaiden Breads, Elizabeth Hollis, David Rodriguez, and more!

Lagunitas Middle School students’ CHANGE projects… Familias Afectadas Del Rancho on the displacement of families from PRNS… plus previews of Western Weekend!

This week is a ‘B’ Week from June 2-8, and it’s a great week to be into Bakersfield and Beyond with Mike and Amanda on Thursday at 6:30pm!
