It’s been quite the transition for me from my previous employment to being your morning host on 99.3 Moose FM beginning this past May 9th. You’ve all embraced me and the radio station with so much positive energy and feedback along with some thoughtful suggestions. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of your wonderful community and wish to thank everyone I’ve met and all of those I’ve yet to meet for making my time at Moose FM as enriching as it has been.
May you all enjoy a safe and very Merry Christmas and here’s to spending some more time together in 2012.
Sincerely
Steph Larouche

Sunday November 13th, 2011 - Recap of the week
Monday we speculated on whether or not Duchess Kate Middleton might be pregnant with her aversion to peanut paste at a recent function in Denmark. We talked of the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks winning their 5th straight with a 6-4 win over the Mattawa Voyageurs.
We learned that Justin Bieber will take a parternity test to prove he is not the father of Mariah Yeater's baby and that his lawyers are preparing a countersuit against Yeater.
Puss'n'Boots continued its run as number 1 at the box office beating out new movies "Tower Heist" and "A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas"
Finally we spoke with Marcel Bougie and Rock Lachance about "Pat 2012 - Patriots in the Third World" a missionary trip to be made by students of Franco Cite as well as adult residents of West Nipissing.
Tuesday we found out about the big news of the week. Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop icon Michael Jackson. Murray faces up to four years in prison.
The other big news of the week: Lindsay Lohan is done with her latest jail stint. TMZ.com reported that Lindsay checked in to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA on Sunday night at 8:48 PM PST to begin serving her 30-day sentence. She was released at approximately 1:30 AM
In Wednesday entertainment news...Kelly Ripa, talk show host and super-mom, has just signed on for 5 more years of Live!!
Even though Regis is leaving next week, they still have Ripa through at least 2017! Which means by that time she'll actually have been on the show for 16 years!
Still no news as to who will be replacing Regis yet.
Charlie Lang was by with an update on the West Nipissing Parade of Lights and to thank many generous businesses in the Community who are helping to make this event along with the grand opening of Minnehaha Bay, the best in Northern Ontario.
Thursday we found out that Eddy Murphy has decided not to host the Oscars anymore...Billy Crystal will replace him with Brian Grazer accepting production responsibilities.
And Friday was Remembrance Day and along with the special Remembrance Day Broadcast on Moose FM, we spoke with Legion President Steve Hopkins and his first Vice Richard Colombe about the legion and its many wonderful year round services.
Congratulations to all of our winners from this past week, especially Josee St-Jean who won our special `Dinner and a Show - Laurence Jalbert` promotion - a pair of tickets to the concert as well as a dinner for two from Gervais Restaurant.
See you next week.

Saturday November 5th, 2011 - Recap of the week
My new responsibilities have been keeping me very busy and I've missed the daily recaps but have decided that a weekly recap combined with the occasional "other" blog will be a better way of staying in touch.
We started the week with a bunch of fun with a Halloween themed morning including our Double Speed Classic which was the classic Michael Jackson Song "Thriller"
We talked about the ancipation for the "Safe Halloween" festivities that night.
Tuesday we recapped the Safe Halloween and showcased over 50 pictures of the almost 1400 "trick or treaters" who passed through the doors of the Sturgeon Falls Recreation Complex.
We continued to encourage people to vote for the "West Nipissing Organic Community Initiative" in hopes of securing the funding from the "Aviva Community Fund". Click here to place your vote.
The big news of the morning on Wednesday came with Charlie Lang's weekly visit to let us know "What's Happening in West Nipissing". Already having gotten us excited for the West Nipissing Parade of Lights and the bonfire at the opening of the Minnehaha Bay complex following the parade, Charlie divulged that they've secured a reported 90 minute fireworks extravaganza at Minnehaha Bay. This all happens on Friday Dec 2nd.
Thursday we found out that papers have been filed accusing Justin Bieber of being the father of a child born to a woman who claims to have had sex with him after a show when he was sixteen.
We also had a chance to check in with Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks Coach and GM Lui Ricci who reflected on the month of October and the Jacks' 9-1 record.
Friday, Monique Hellawell from Pet Valu popped by for a discussion on winter pet safety, health as well as suggestions for Christmas treats and gifts for pets.
Two new movies opening up tonight in the area. The action/comedy "Tower Heist" with Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Matthew Broderick as well as the first Christmas movie out this year "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas" in 3D. Watch the trailers below.
A special congratulations to the first ever Moose Natural Hat Trick (three wins three days in a row) Ken Landry. Here he is posing with his first prize of the three.
Have a wonderful week and don't forget to wear a poppy in honour of our veterans.

Tuesday Oct 11th - recap
Another Twitter Twuesday come and gone. Here's hoping you're enjoying the leftovers from a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.
We sent a special shout-out to the gang at RIV's Chipstand who closed up shop for the season yesterday for a well-earned rest until next Spring.
Our Literacy Alliance of West Nipissing Not So Impossible Trivia Challenge question this morning:
Which race invented the cloaking device in the Star trek series?
a. Humans
b. Medusans
c. Romulans
The correct answer was C- Romulans - congratulations to all who participated. Your names will all be entered into the monthly draw of a beautiful bird feeder and a bag of bird seed from our friends at Pet Valu.
Congratulations going out to Andre Goulard who correctly identified our "Double Speed Classic Clip" and won himself a goodie bag from the West Nipissing Fire Services.
Oct 9th-15th is Fire Prevention Week. The West Nipissing Fire Service recommends the following tips to protect families from fire:
• staying in the kitchen when cooking.
• It’s the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. The fire department also recommends installing a smoke alarm in every bedroom. Test smoke alarms every month and change the batteries at least once a year or whenever the low battery warning chirps.
• Develop a home fire escape plan with your family so that everyone knows what do if a fire occurs
And finally, it's cheap movie night – the top 3 films in the country are playing in North Bay and Sudbury: Real Steel, The Ides of March and Dolphin Tale are all options tonight…

We congratulated everyone at Franco-Cite for the wonderful effort and success of "Une Canne Ca Depanne" food drive for the West Nipissing Food Bank which saw them collect 20100 lbs of food to re-stock the shelves. Check out Facebook page for images from the event.
Finally, on this Thanksgiving weekend, we had everyone contribute thoughts on what they were thankful for this year and Stella Solomon's name was drawn as the random winner of a turkey from our friends at Don's Butcher Shop.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, enjoy the beautiful weather and company you'll be in.

Charlie Lang was by to discuss the Festival. He'll continue to check in daily all week. I'll be down at the festival grounds this afternoon, would love to see you there to say hi and hear about Moose FM's new promotion.
Congratulations to Mike Dubuc - winner of this morning's "Name That Fiddle-ized Pop Song".

Tuesday August 9th - recap
Another Twitter Twuesday come and gone.
Our Moose Impossible Trivia finally lived up to its name with nobody correctly answering this question:
Experts say this is the number one thing you should never say to your husband....what is it?. ANSWER IS “YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!" - not sure I agree with the experts but there you have it...playing again tomorrow morning.
Congratulations going out to Cynthia Dionne who correctly identified our "fiddle-ized" mystery song as "Eye of the Tiger". Apologies have been accepted for my accidentally hanging up on her :).
Inspector St-Pierre of the West Nipissing Police Services shared some of the activity that's been happening in West Nipissing and also mentioned some safety tips for campers in town for the 15th Annual Stepdance and Fiddle Festival.
Charlie Lang was by with an update on the festival and mentioned the outstanding turnout and entertainment already. Looks like we will likely break the 500 trailer mark this year.
I'll be heading down there tomorrow for a tour and to make the 50/50 draw around 4 pm. Hope to see you there.
Cheap movie night – the top 3 films in the country are all playing in North Bay and Sudbury:
1. Rise of The Planet of The Apes
2. The Smurfs
3. Cowboys and Aliens
Do you remember where you were when this happened - Aug 9th, 1988?

This morning we started off the on-air celebration of the 15th Annual West Nipissing Stepdance and Fiddle Festival by playing some fiddle tunes and also playing a "fiddle-ized" version of Name That Tune. Congratulations to Melanie Duchesne who correctly identified the fiddle version of "Sweet Child of Mine" and won herself an Angus Burger Extra Value meal from our friends at the Sturgeon Falls McDonalds. Honourable mention to Jeanine Laberge who guessed Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles, and upon second listen, it's easy to see how it could sound like that song.

Congratulations to Joyce Florczyk who won herself a Summer Fun Pack from Sturgeon Falls McDonald's for correctly identifying 1 of our 3 "Name That Tune Out Of Three" clips this morning.
