"The Big,'" WBFH-FM (88.1), the stu-
dent-run radio station of the Bloomfield
Hills School District, will hold its 29th
Annual Marathon Broadcast from 7
a.m. Friday, April 15, to 7 a. m.
Saturday, April 16 The event, known
as "Bffitock" in homage to the
Woodstock music festival of 1969, raises
money to help underwrite the station's
operating costs. The 2004 marathon
raised about $1, 000 in cash, plus auc-
tion items and food to fuel the
marathon volunteers.
Organizer of this year's marathon is
Ryan Fishman, a 16-year-old junior
from Bloomfield Township and the
Biff 's operations manager.
The Biff with studios at Andover
High School, was recently named high
school radio station of the year by the
Michigan Association of Broadcasters.
Fishman, himself, won five awards in
the competition.
How many hours a week are you at
the radio station?
"I have two class periods here,
roughly three hours. I usually spend
my lunch hour here, too. I typically
have to come in about two more
hours a week. I play "oldies" every
Thursday from 3-5 p.m. If we have
remote broadcasts such as
basketball games, I do that
as well."

What are your plans for the
future?
"I want to go into broad-
cast journalism. My No. 1
choice for college is Syracuse
University. I've been doing a
lot of job shadowing but, so
far I haven't decided between
radio and television."
What are the advantages of
donating to the station?
"First, they're helping sup-
port a great station. As a

Dear
Barb", eing

yourself, how
do you get
proper protein?
Can you explain how a vegetar-
ian diet can provide complete
protein? I'm Curious.
nswer: Dear Curious,
Foods originating from
both plants and animals
provide rich sources of protein
in the typical American diet. Un-
derstanding how protein fits into
your diet will allow you to set
correct nutritional parameters.
A "complete" protein is defined
as a food that has all of the essen-
tial amino acids in relatively the
same amounts that humans
-;,_ require. Animal proteins
i (meat, fish, poultry, cheese,
eggs, and milk) are gener-
ally considered "com-
plete" proteins. Many
4 plant proteins are low
/ in one or more of the
essential amino acids
V and are defined (not
surprisingly) as "incom-
plete" proteins.
)
e
/ Since different plant pro-
teins vary in their "limit-
ing" amino acids, diets rich in a
variety of grains, legumes, seeds,
nuts, and vegetables will tend to
offset any particular amino acid
deficiency — this is also known
as "protein complimenting."
