Eight out of ten. It seems like an unbelievable number. How did we, as a nation, get in this sad shape? In the last twenty years, Type II diabetes has increased 76 percent among Americans 30 to 40 years old and, for the first time in modern history, children are expected to have shorter life spans than their parents. Our guest this week, Dr. Jody Wilkinson, has been researching this epidemic since 1987, first in Dallas and now in Amarillo. And this week, we're going to find out what Dr. Wilkinson has learned and get some advice Face to Face. Tues, 04 May 2010 09:00:00 CST 30:00 KACV-TV Lilia Escajeda Our guest this week has the distinction of being named Amarillo’s Woman of the Year for 2010 by the Globe News. It’s an honor many would say Lilia Escajeda deserves after more than 30 years of civic and community involvement. The list of organizations and boards that she has served are too numerous to mention. But Escajeda will also be the first to say that, at least early on, she was asked to serve because of her ethnicity and not her experience or knowledge. And so this week we’re talking to Escajeda Face to Face about her work in Amarillo, our growing Hispanic and Latino population and why she considers herself a God Mother in the Barrio. Wed, 05 May 2010 09:00:00 CST 30:00 KACV-TV Annika Johansson Musical theatre is clearly where our guest this week belongs. At least that’s what Annika Johannson’s local mentors say and, apparently, what Broadway producers have recently come to believe. Annika was born and raised in Amarillo and certainly loves the city. But is now performing on the national Broadway tour of Phantom of the Opera. Following her dream and the advice of her father who has said, more than once, failure is acceptable….regrets are not. So this week, we welcome home, if only for a short visit, Annika Johansson Face to Face. Wed, 12 May 2010 09:00:00 CST 30:00 KACV-TV Jeremy Everett The economic crisis has taken a toll on the issue of hunger in America and right here in the Panhandle. In 2008, the number of adults and children in this country without enough to eat grew more than any other year since the government has been keeping record. Fifty million Americans – one child in four – are hungry. As the lines at food banks and soup kitchens grow longer, the pressure intensifies on the White House and now President Obama is pledging to end childhood hunger by 2015, calling the information I just shared here “unsettling.” That leads us to a project called the Texas Hunger Initiative and this week’s guest. Jeremy Everett is director of the project and is here to talk Face to Face about hunger in our community and how, together, we can find a solution. Tue, 25 May 2010 09:00:00 CST 30:00 KACV-TV Ann Dunkelberg The battle in congress over healthcare reform was so politically charged that few individuals really understand what the new law means to them. Our guest this week is one of the state�s leading experts in policy and budget issues related to health care access and she says Texans are among the biggest winners now that the new law is in effect.
