I spent some time with the Harbour Youth Services Girls Club at Kingsway Park School yesterday...this club is called the "Kids Come First" club. I had such a great time with them!!
I read “The Monster Who Ate Darkness” to them...their theme right now is "Monsters"
They asked all kinds of questions about my job....then they wanted autographs!!!
This all started with a letter I received a few weeks ago from the girls...the letter was hand written...by the girls, who are in grades 1 to 4...a colourful letter it was...and it had all kinds of cutouts of the things I love...a camera, baseball, a picture of a family, headphones, books and of course...popcorn..these girls did their research!! The letter was asking if I could help out with an event coming up....the 2011 Amazing Raising Cash For Kids Race! This will be held May 28th....and it is in support of the Harbour youth Services' after school programs...where kids have aceess to the resources and support they need to dream big!!
These programs are great for the girls club who I visited yesterday...and for the boys club...and the programs are at more than one school...so if you wanted to help out..go to hyskids.com and sign up for this fun event!!!
Here is the link to the information page:

An icon passed away this week....Elizabeth Taylor passed away. She was laid to rest in a simple ceremony yesterday. There was no procession to the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, just limousines carrying family members. The service started after a 15 minute delay. Her publicist says that's because the screen legend wanted to be
late to her own funeral. You have to appreciate the humour!
Have a Great Weekend!!!

Happy Thursday!!
Today we had Constable Mark Caccamo, School Resource Officer to talk to us about the events that we have heard in the news regarding attempts to lure kids into vehicles in our city.
The conversation was so good, it was a great opportunity to help adults and kids to talk about what to do to keep safe. Some highlights:
For the Parents:
Don't become too comfortable or complacent, even in your own neighbourhood. Make sure your kids get to where they are going.
When it comes to their clothing, you may want to rethink having their names on items, this is one way "strangers" gain their attention, by calling them by their name.
Keep an open dialect with your kids. If they know they can tell you anything, they will.
When it comes to strangers, know that if your child has met them once, they may think they would be safe to talk to or go somewhere with. If your child behaves in a manner that indicates this person makes them uncomfortable, pay attention.
You could consider coming up with a code word to use for people who may have to pick up your child.
For Kids:
Don't go in ANY vehicles. If there are relatives that may pick you up, you would know that before you left school or anywhere you happen to be.
You might want to come up with a code word with your parents so that anyone that may come to pick you up from school or wherever you are would have to know the code.
No one expects you to stop and write down a description of a person who has made you uncomfortable, but what you can remember would be helpful.
Be aware of your surroundings. If a anything looks suspicious, tell your parents or an adult you trust.
We are working on posting the interview will be posted on our website soon.
More than 500,000 people were polled for an ABC TV and People magazine movie poll - asking the question - who takes the title of THE most romantic onscreen couple of all time.
Making the list:
The romance between Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in 1939 classic "Gone with the Wind" was rated the second most romantic film pairing
....while Richard Gere and Julia Roberts' unlikely coupling in "Pretty Woman" landed them third in the survey.
"Casablanca" couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall came fourth,
...and Spencer Tracey and Katharine Hepburn - who starred in nine films together - rounded out the top five.
and #1 on the lis:
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's doomed relationship in 1997 film "Titanic" has earned them the title of most romantic onscreen couple of all time
TRUE HOLLYWOOD CASTING CALLS:
Excerpts from actual recent ads for acting gigs in Tinseltown ...
• “We are looking for a male little person, 20-to-50, all ethnicities, who can ride a miniature horse.”
• “Frighteningly skinny people, male or female, ages 18-to-70. Only submit if you are borderline emaciated. Please note on your submission if you would consider doing nudity for a higher rate.”
• “Need a double-jointed hand model, male, 20-to-50. Double jointed where thumb and pointer finger can bend back to the wrist. Also where all fingers can bend back to the wrist.”
• “Amputee hand double, male, 18-to-100. Looking for anyone that has missing fingers on either hand or both. This is open to both union and non-union.”
• “Looking for male or female Mayan extras, 18-and-over, Screen Actors Guild members. Piercings a plus.”
• “We are looking for males or females, 20-55, who can resemble zoo animals. A guy who resembles a bear would go to the bear cage. A lady that could look like a peacock will walk to see the peacocks. This will take a little work on your part.”
– QMI Agency
• “Looking for Hispanic men, 18-to-45, that are willing to wear a loin cloth.”
Have a great day!!!

Hello!! Happy Hump Day!!!
Tomorrow on the show...between 7 and 7:30 we've invited a police officer to come on the air and talk with us.
The stories have been in the news..about kids being approached by people, either trying to get them to get into their vehicle or approaching them and talking to them in explicit language.
Fortunately, all of the kids who have been approached knew exactly what to do. But we want to reach as many people as we can...adults and kids...and talk about what to do if someone was to try to get a child in their car..or approached them.
We have asked a Thunder Bay Police Officer, the School Resource Officer, Mark Caccamo to join us on air Thursday morning between 7 and 7:30. We'll talk about the incidents that have occured...what parents need to discuss with their children..and we want the kids to be listening too...this is all about the kids.....because we want them to be safe.
AGAIN - as we always say, it it wasn't for these kind of people - our lives would be boring:
On Monday, a 92-year-old woman (Helen) of Fort McCoy, Florida decided to go next door to visit her neighbor, a 53-year-old male named Dwight Bettner.
And she had a very specific goal in mind: She wanted to basically "get busy with this man - or at the least make out with him"
Only Dwight wasn't into Helen. And when she said she wouldn't leave unless they MADE OUT, he slammed the door on her.
So....Helen...the 92-year-old responded by going home, grabbing her .380 semi-automatic handgun . . . and firing FOUR SHOTS into Dwight's house. Dwight was hit by some debris but wasn't seriously injured. Then he called the cops.
When they got there, Helen told them she was shooting at, quote, "his car that he loved so much." She was arrested for two felonies: Aggravated assault and firing into an occupied dwelling. She's still locked up today.
Dwight told the cops that he's had issues with Helen trying to get all up on him before. Quote, "I feel she is enamored with [me]." He says he even tried to introduce Helen to his girlfriend once . . . after which she threatened to shoot him.
Then there's THIS story...
In Guatemala, the constitution makes it illegal for close relatives and spouses of government officials to succeed them. So, for example, if the CLINTONS were in Guatemala, Bill would've had to divorce Hillary before she could run for president.
Right now, a man named Alvaro Colom is the president of Guatemala. When his term ends next year, his wife Sandra, wants to run for president. Only she can't under constitutional law.
So . . . the Coloms came up with a solution.
Alvaro DIVORCED her, which will make her eligible to be president. They filed for divorce back on the 11th. Because they said the divorce is "mutual," they didn't need to cite a reason for the divorce on the form.
Her potential opponent in the race - naturally, is calling it quote: "shenanigans".
The Guatemalan Constitutional Court is going to review the case and determine whether Sandra should be allowed to run.
(what a unique concept - talk about determination!!!!)

Welcome to the FIRST full day of SPRING!!! Sure...our yards are full of snow..that just fell yesterday...but the season has just changed...and hopefully..we start to see it soon! That was one yucky winter!
Thanks to Shawn, a friend of mine for bringing us a "Slinky" to celebrate the start of SPRING!! Danny thought playing with slinky's would be a great way to bring in spring...so Shawn made it happen. We had some great fun with it this morning!
Wow! Our Mounties have to start watching their weight!!!
Some Mounties might have to go on a diet.
R-C-M-P figures show almost a-quarter of the force's officers are
considered obese.
The R-C-M-P says there are plans to toughen up the physical
fitness test that Mounties must take every three years.
We’re back from March Break and here are the top five signs March Break is over: (remember, it's all in fun!)
5...teachers spent the weekend counting how many days there are until June
4...people just back from Florida dressed like its minus 20 outside
3...the kids all look a bit nervous because the only thing they never got around to over March Break was... their homework assignment
2...some people are still at the airport...... looking for their luggage
1...school bus drivers stopping and starting up the road trying to remember which driveways they’re suppose to stop at
Have a great Monday!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
My friend Neil from Ireland came on with us this morning to talk about the goings on in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. One of the things he shared with us was that some bosses let their employees of on St. Patrick's Day...while others give them the next day off. Which would you choose? I know I'd take the next day!!
Pothole Patrol!! The roads are getting bad our there...Potholes everywhere! If there are any that you think should be reported potholes by calling 684-2195 during the day and 684-3117 after 4 p.m.
A local woman doing quite well for herself!! Check out AMBRE MACLEAN tonight at Crocks!! She's from Thunder Bay!! She's a singer / songwriter...and she is performing TONIGHT at CROCK's. She has 4 cd's to her credit- and - they are all availalbe on ITunes...her latest is called "Murder At The Smokehouse"
You can check her out on FACEBOOK, MY SPACE or her website, ambremclean.com
......check her out TONITE......at Crock's between 8 and 10
Some Irish fun for you!!
An Irishman, by the name of O'Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick's Day. He gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond. The excited young lass showed it to her father, a jeweller. He took one look at it and saw it wasn't real.
The young lass on learning it wasn't real returned to her future husband. She protested vehemently about his cheapness. 'It was in honour of St. Patrick's Day, 'he smiled....."'I gave you a sham rock"
"I had an accident opening a can of alphaghetti this morning,' said Murphy. 'Were you injured?' inquired Seamus. 'No, but it could have spelled disaster,' concluded Murphy.
An Irish lass, a customer: 'Could I be trying on that dress in the window?'
Shopkeeper: 'I'd prefer that you use the dressing room.'
Hey," said a new arrival in the pub, "I've got some great Irish jokes." "Before you start," said the big bloke in the corner, ", I'm Irish." "Don't worry," said the newcomer, "I'll tell them slowly."
Donncha is shocked at finding out all his cows are suffering from "Bluetongue." 'Bejabbers,' Donncha murmurs, 'I didn't even know they had mobile phones.'
Murphy lost a hundred dollars on the Melbourne Cup, a famous Australian horserace. He also lost another hundred on the television replay.
'O'Halloran,' asked the pharmacist, 'did that mudpack I gave you improve your wife's appearance?'
'It did surely,' replied O'Halloran, 'but it keeps fallin' off.'
Paddy and Seamus have just opened a new restaurant on the moon. It serves great cheese dishes, but the atmosphere ? - terrible.
'What's wrong with Murphy?' asked Father Green.
'I don't know, Father. Yesterday he swallowed a spoon and he hasn't stirred since,' said Mrs Murphy.
'How far is it to the next village?' asked the American tourist. 'It's about seven miles,' guessed the farmer. 'But it's only five if you run!'

Morning all!
Finally...some sunshine and a high of 5 degrees!!! Of course..there's some rain in the forecast later today...and the forecast for later in the week...snow. Hopefully that all changes....
March break boredom set in at my house at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon...so we have made some plans for our son for the next couple of days to keep him busy! I couldn't believe he was so bored already..day one of the break. We put him to work..bathing and helping groom our dogs. That took up about an hour of his time. There are a lot of options out there...we need to use as many as we can to keep him busy!
Some of the things we talked about on today's show:
Jon Bon Jovi blames Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple, and creator of Itunes) for "killing" the music industry with iTunes.
He says he's "saddened" that kids no longer get the "magical" experience of buying records since they have been replaced with digital music.
Bon Jovi has no regret in laying the blame directly to Steve Jobs. Jon told The Sunday Times Magazine, "Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it."
He continues,"God, it was a magical, magical time. I hate to sound like an old man now, but I am, and you mark my words, in a generation from now people are going to say: 'What happened?'. Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business."
Gas prices have been hovering around the 1.33 / litre mark
You probably know that having enough air in your tires is important - because it can improve your gas mileage - by about 3%. BUT - here are more sneaky ways to save money on gas!
Don't drive aggressively:
90 to 95 km's / an hour on the highway is the most fuel-efficient speed for most vehicles. Speeding will cost you more
Try to hit the pump mid-week:
Gas prices tend to rise slightly on Thursdays; then drop back down on Tuesday or Wednesday
Buy gas at night or early in the morning:
Gas is stored underground....and its denser when the ground is cold. So, you actually get slightly more gas for your money if you pump before the sun comes up.
Have a great Tuesday!!

We had a topic on the show this morning that sparked a lot of interest from our listeners!! We asked about people's favourite restaurants...from when they were kids or even dating and hanging out with friends. The response was awesome....Ponderosa, Doodles, A&W, The Beefeater, The Skyline Drive In...so many..my personal favorite was Pizza Delight on Red River Road..it was where Eddy Lee's Restaurant is now..which is my favorite Chinese food place!! We definitely brought a lot of fun memories back to mind for a lot of people.
Here is a followup to a video we posted on our facebook site...about a 10 year old girl who sang a Lady Gaga song on Youtube....
Lady Gaga granted a 10-year-old Winnipeg girl a share
of her spotlight on Thursday, inviting YouTube singing sensation
Maria Aragon onstage for a duet on ``Born This Way'' in front of a
roaring crowd at the Air Canada Centre. About midway through a
nearly two-hour set, Gaga invited Maria on stage and the packed
audience bellowed its approval. With an orange stuffed monkey slung
around her neck, Maria hugged Gaga tightly then sat on her lap at a
black grand piano, taking the lead on vocals. Maria shot to
Internet fame after a video of her performing Gaga's outsider anthem
went viral and drew more than 17- (m) million views.
We also talked about how it is the weekend....and how some people will be going out and having fun...that may include some alcohol...so we read out a list of how to know when it's time to go home...you know...so you don't end up like Charlie Sheen...
YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO GO HOME WHEN ...
• You have absolutely no idea where your shoes are.
• You drop your 3 am burger on the floor, pick it up and carry on eating.
• There are less than 3 hours before you're due to start work.
• The man you're flirting with used to be your 5th grade teacher.
• You think you're in bed but your pillow feels strangely like pizza.
• You challenge the bouncer to an arm wrestling competition.
• You decide to audition for “American Idol” via the security cameras.
• You mistake a police car for a cab and shout obscenities when it doesn't stop for you.
So, whatever you have planned for this weekend, hope you have a blast doing it!!

So, whatever you have planned for this weekend, hope you have a blast doing it!!

I don't know about you...but yesterday's cold weather made me REALLY cranky! It does not happen often...but man that was cold...and I just couldn't shake the chill I caught in the morning. Today...it's so much better...I don't feel like curling up in a ball.
I am hooked on the upcoming Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton!! I LOVE Royalty!!! Not sure why...because I sure would not be bowing to anyone or serving them hand and foot ('cept hubby Joe and our kids...but that's a different story) Yet...I love to watch movies about them..and I love watching these kinds of events. And yes...I am even keeping an eye on the happenings through the official website...which is here if you choose to follow too. Who knows...I may even order up something off the internet...so I can have a keepsake!!

This is one of the topics we discussed this morning.....
MOST-PAUSED MOVIE MOMENTS:
A new survey asks which movie scene caused viewers to hit the pause button in order to take a longer look. The top 5 responses ...
5. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” (1988): A scene in which a dress worn by animated hottie ‘Jessica Rabbit' rises up.
4. “Trading Places” (1983): A then-24-year-old Jamie Lee Curtis appears topless in a scene that even she refers to as the ‘Freeze Frame’.
3. “Star Wars” (1977): A blooper scene in which a ‘Stormtrooper’ hits his head on a ceiling.
2. “The Back-Up Plan” (2010): A scene in which Jennifer Lopez briefly bares her beauteous butt.
1. “Basic Instinct” (1992): Sharon Stone's provocative leg-crossing scene, frozen by more than a third of film fans in the poll.
