Rick Metz Developer: A Firm Foundation Show with Rick and Jackie

This Saturday we are pleased again to welcome our friend, Mayor Mike Bell of Toledo to the program. Mike is beginning his third year as Toledo’s Mayor, and Saturday begins our 13th consecutive year in talk radio in N. W. Ohio. There is much good to talk about with Mayor Bell, some bad, and some ugly.

In hour #2 Deb Busdecker and other will join us with Wood County Hospital’s segment “to your health”. As we begin a new year, Wood County Hospital has many wellness programs for people to participate in, plus a new program, “Be Healthy Now Wood County” starting February 6th, and you don’t have to be a Wood County resident to participate!

The show starts at 9:00 am on AM1470 WLQR, and is podcast after 11:00 am at www.1065theticket.com.

Dust of the tux, get out the formal, Saturday night is the premier social event of the year in Bowling Green, the Annual Chamber Ball, live from the Bowen Thompson Student Union at B.G.S.U.

And when you are at B.G.S.U. who better to have as a feature guest than the new University President, Dr. Mary Ellen Mazey. Tuesday in the State of the Union we heard the order go out to contain college costs and that will be one of many topics we plan on discussing with Dr. Mazey.

Tune in at 9:00 am on AM1470 WLQR or for your convenience there is a podcast available at www.1065theticket.com.

Also on the program will be updates from the Chamber about all the activities from 2011 and what’s coming up in 2012.

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Blizzard of ‘78, winter is all down hill from here!

Real estate tax duplicates are out for first half real estate taxes. Saturday on A Firm Foundation we will be joined live in the studio with Lucas County Auditor, Anita Lopez.

We will be discussing property values, paying your taxes, (remember, not receiving a duplicate, does not excuse you from not paying on time). Anita will weigh in on foreclosures, tax appeals procedures, levy changes to your tax charges, and many other things relating to local taxes.

The show can be heard live at 9:00 am. on AM1470 WLQR, and a podcast is available after 11:00 am. at www.1065theticket.com.
