We got another qualifier for the 2 pairs of daypasses to the CMT Music Festival at the end of August. Luc Perreault correctly identified the first Countrified pop song of the day as "Owner of A Lonely Heart".
We wished Riley Furlong a happy 14th birthday. He shares his birthday with Mick Jagger, Helen Mirren, Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale and Derek Jeter. Not bad company.

Thursday July 21st - recap
An extreme heat advisory continues in the area - today's high of 32 C will feel like 40 C. At 6 am it was already 24 degrees in West Nipissing.
It was on this date back in 1990 that Roger Waters staged a production of "The Wall" in Germany less than a year after The "actual" Wall separating east and west Germany came down. Sinead O'Connor, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins and Cyndi Lauper among others took part in the benefit.
Today in 1999 - The missing plane of John F. Kennedy Jr. was found off of the coast of Martha's Vineyard, MA. The bodies of Kennedy, his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Lauren Bessette were found on board. The plane had crashed on July 16, 1999.
Today in 2007 – The saga’s end began as The seventh and last book of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was released.
This morning’s impossible trivia question this:
79% of adults have not been to one of these in over 10 years.... what is it?
answer: the library
Shout out to team "Hike-Her's" which is made up of Janette Piquette, Colette Prevost, Jennifer Wilson and Ginette Demers…they have taken up the OXFAM CHallenge
Together, with the support of family, friends and some strangers, they have reached in fact, surpassed their fundraising goal of $5000.00 which will go to tackle the root causes of poverty, inequity and help people to create self-reliant and sustainable communities in developing countries around the world.
The fundraising is over, now all that’s left is the 100 km Hike – yikessss….The challenge is to hike 100km in 48 hours as a team of 4. Each team must start together, stick together and finish together. They will trek on the Ganaraska Trail System starting at Snow Valley Ski Resort near Barrie and ending in the City of Orillia
Congratulations on reaching your fundraising goal ladies, and good luck with the hiking challenge, stay cool and hydrated my friends.

Congratulations to 10 year old Andree Charron who won our "Name That Tune Out of Three" this morning and when she came to pick up her prize with her father, she also dropped off a hand made thank you drawing of a pretty yellow flower. It's hanging up in the studio. So sweet, thank you Andree (and Renee who also signed the card).

Thursday July 7th - recap
This morning we learned of a neat new website that helps you trick your boss into thinking you're working very hard when in fact you're checking out your friends status on Facebook.
Created by Yale University undergrads, www.hardlywork.in is an interesting way to get around work issues with Facebook, unless of course your company has Facebook blocked altogether.
Click here to check it out.
The Royal Couple, William and Kate are in Calgary to wrap up their Canadian Leg of their first overseas tour as a married couple. They will be exposed to everything "western Canadian" as they get a preview of this year's Calgary Stampede.
The Capitol Centre in North Bay is hosting free Tuesday movie matinees at 2 pm in July and August. This Tuesday's film is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 which should be a nice refresher for Part II which comes out 3 days later on the 15th.
Loto 6/49 numbers for July 6th-2011 14-25-31-36-44-47 bonus 37 encore 7774946
(official OLG website)
1 Winner this morning as Lynne Gaudreault correctly identified two of the three "Name That Tune Out of Three" music clips and winning herself a McDonald's Summer Fun Pack from our friends at the Sturgeon Falls McDonald's who remind you to get a bigger bang for your buck all Summer with McDonald's Dollar Drink Days.
I talked about the show "River Monsters" I saw on Discovery Channel last night - here's the link to last night's episode where the host is searching for the "Wolf Fish".
Enjoy the rest of your Thursday - it's a beauty out there.

The rainy morning will give way to sunshine this afternoon and all day tomorrow - yay.
1 Winner this morning as Beth Filipov correctly identified one of our "Name That Tune Out Of Three" winning herself a McDonald's Summer Fun Pack from our friends at the Sturgeon Falls McDonald's who remind you to get a bigger bang for your buck all Summer with McDonald's Dollar Drink Days.
We sent a special shout-out to Will and Kate for completely embracing everything Canada has to offer during their first official overseas visit as a married couple. They are doing an unscheduled stop in Slave Lake, Alberta today (their scheduled day off) to provide support to the community hit so hard by the recent wild fires.

Monday July 4th - recap
This morning we started by wishing all of our American visitors a happy Independence Day. We delved into some American history to find out a few interesting things:
Since World War II, every American president to address the Canadian House of Commons in their first term of office have all been reelected to a second term. Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton have all had the honor, while Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Carter, and Bush number 1 did not address the parliament.
The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.
Only two people, John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until five years later.
Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital.
Andrew Jackson was the only US President to believe that the world is flat.
and finally and most interesting...
The United States has never lost a war in which mules were used.
1 Grand prize winner this morning as Carol Anne Legault correctly identified all 5 "countryfied" songs in our montage to win herself a pair of weekend passes (including camping) to the CMT Music Festival happening at the end of August in Burle's Creek (just North of Barrie).
click here for festival details -
note: special thank you to Jeanette Laurin who was on hold as our standby caller if Carol didn't get them all correct.
how many of these songs could you identify?
Congratulations also to Lynne Gaudreault who correctly answered our Morning Trivia question from our friends at "Literacy Alliance of West Nipissing". Her name goes into the monthly draw of a $25.00 gift card from Giant Tiger.
Box office numbers for the weekend looked like this:
1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon — $97.4 mil
2. Cars 2 — $25.1 mil
3. Bad Teacher — $14.1 mil
Facebook will be launching Skype video chat later this week. Calling the launch "something awesome," CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted that this new integration would be added to Facebook chat.
It's not clear whether or not you will need to download the Skype program itself.
And finally we continue to watch Will and Kate - the royals will compete against each other in PEI today.
Have a great Monday.
