Happy Apple Blossom!!!

The time is finally here! It's Apple Blossom...which means it's raining! Why is it it seems to never fail...rain, rain and rain. It's been a long time since I can remember a nice day for the parade. Oh well, we can't do anything about the weather, but we can still have a great time and enjoy all the events!

We just talked to the festival committee, and the FIREWORKS WILL GO TONIGHT RAIN OR SHINE!!!! So plan to be at Kentville's Memorial Park tonight at 10:00pm, for what I am told will be the best Fireworks show to date. Keep in mind, the fireworks will be launched from the centre ball field, left of the Wildcats park, where it has been held in the past.

I had my friend Kevin Davidson on the Early Show this morning...don't forget he is headlining the Apple Blossom Bash '09 at Rafters Lounge at the Old Orchard Inn in Greenwich Saturday night. Should be a great time...I haven't been to Rafters in ages..since The Bucket Club II was there, and everyone in the bar could see how bad my golf swing was :). The doors open at 8:00pm, and don't forget to bring a non-perishable food item, as they are helping out the local food bank.

Enjoy yourselves this weekend, play safe...and I'm sure I'll see you in my travels!!

A Co-Host is found!

So the Penguins swept as predicted...now I hope the Red Wings win so we don't have to wait a week and a half for the Stanley Cup Final to begin...what on earth would I do in that span...YARD WORK????! Go WINGS!!!

Have a great day, and no matter how your day is going...remember it couldn't go nearly as bad as it went for our friend in Germany! It was dark when a man went into a portable toilet this week. Not knowing where to find the toilet paper in the john, the man lit a match -- and blew up his rear end. The man accidentally sparked chemical fumes which exploded as he sat down. The man was left with severe burns to his back side, and a severe bruise to his ego.

Co-host the Early Show!

How would you like to co-host the Early Show with me?

Indy 500

Nice win for Helio Castroneves yesterday at Indy. Having only a few days earlier escape the prospect of jail time after months in and out of courtrooms defending himself against charges that he evaded paying taxes on $5 million US, he won his third Indianapoils 500 and a record 15th for team owner Roger Penske. I don't know what he enjoyed more...this win, or competing on "Dancing with the Stars"...I'll go with winning Indy.

It was also a nice finish for the "Thrill from West Hill", Paul Tracy. He grew up in my old subdivision in Scarborough, Ontario and I was really rooting for him to do well, after losing his ride last year. He finished an incredible ninth after having been out of racing for more than 18 months, except for his lone 2008 race at the Rexall Edmonton Indy.

The big story however surfaced after the race. It seems speculation began about the future of Danica Patrick not five minutes after the checkered flag. The Roscoe, Ill., native finished third...the highest finish at Indy by a woman...for Andretti-Green Racing, but rumours that she's on her way to stock car racing in NASCAR have sprouted like dandelions on my lawn. Patrick's contract with AGR runs out at the end of this season and feelers already are going out from her camp and coming in to her camp about moving to NASCAR. Time will tell...but if Three-time NASCAR champion Darrell Waltrip has anything to say about it, he'd tell her to stay put. He told The Sporting News this week that his advice for Patrick would be: "Stay away." he figured the cars are too hot and heavy for Danica...Coincidentally, the hottest rumour to date has Patrick taking over the No. 55 Sprint Cup NAPA Auto Parts Toyota from Waltrip's brother Michael. I say go get 'em Danica...NASCAR could stand getting a little hotter anyway.

Mustangs..Burgers and the week that was...

A few pics from the week that was...thanks Jo!

If you are Mustang fan, don't miss Mustang Mania V at Valley Ford on Saturday! They expect 150 'Stangs from across the province to take part. This in its fifth year has turned into one of the biggest Mustang shows in the Maritimes, and I can't wait to see some beautys from the 64 and a half to the brand-new 2010. Giddy up.

Sunday is Burger Day at Harvey's in New Minas and the Misfits are very much looking forward to the burgalicious day...I can't wait to try the Len Hawley Burger. I hear it's 5 meat patties, 8 pieces of bacon and 4 pieces of cheese. I know now how Len gets his girlish figure :) Big Brother's and Big Sisters will be there too...face-painting for the kids and the magic 94.9 cruiser will also be on site! I'll see you there around 11:00am for a Brule Burger...

One small sip for man...

So it was a big day at the International Space Station...one could say it was one small sip for man and a giant gulp of recycled urine for mankind. Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first today. They drank water that had been recycled from their urine, sweat and water from exhaled air. They said ``cheers,'' clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground who were sipping their own version of recycled drinking water. The system was brought up to the space station last November -- but it hadn't been used because of testing and problems. It will save NASA lots of money because less water will need to be shipped up on the shuttle or cargo rockets. The recycling system is also needed for astronaut outposts on the moon and Mars. Many people find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful...I am by every means...one of them. I now have to find something else to do when I grow up, because now unfortunatley..."Astronaut" is off my list.

The worst kept secret came out yesterday...Sir Paul is officially heading to Halifax. Book it...July 11th...tickets go on sale next Friday. $305 for V.I.P's and $125 for the rest of us. I hear he's arriving by a yellow submarine.

Tomorrow is a big day..after the Early Show, I'm back in Berwick for the Furniture Liquidation sale, and then it's off to Valley Ford for a date with Mustang Sally.

Until then...enjoy the sun and the breeze, and don't let the little umbrella blow out of your Mojito.

Snowbirds in Greenwood

What a day for aviation enthusiasts!

As part of the Centennial of Flight Celebration, 14 Wing Greenwood is hosting a family day today from 3:00pm-8:00pm...or, I mean...1500hrs-2000hrs.

The event will be centered around the parade square and will include fun for the whole family with various kids’ activities such as:

Aviation arts and crafts, CF-18 Cockpit simulator, Fire Department displays, Air Cadet displays and Search and Rescue Displays. There will also be various aircraft on display including the CH-149 Cormorant, CP-140 Aurora, CC-130 Hercules, Silver Dart replica and Zenair aircraft. The official unveiling of the restored Anson will also take place, and you can expect a visit from Jerry Neville and the Magic 94.9 cruiser.

The event will wrap up in the sky with a spectacular aerial display from the Snowbirds and a CF-18. That will begin at 6:30...or 18:30 hrs :)

All are welcome, there is no cost to attend, and it should be a great evening weather wise...so it'll be a blast!

Don't forget to stop in the Aviation Museum in the CANEX building too. The kids will love it, and so will you!

Flower Power

It's nice to see that the kid from Quebec, drafted #1 overall at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, is really shining in this years' playoffs, and last night "The Flower" really showed why he was the top of his class.

When I, along with former Magic 94.9 Misfit Scott Duffy picked up Marc Andre-Fleury from the Halifax airport back in 2003 in the Magic 94.9 cruiser, the kid had just been drafted #1 overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins and was flying into town for the Acadia Axemen Celebrity Hockey Dinner. He was a great well-rounded Quebec native that didn't really seem to realize at that time, what had just happened to him. He was wide-eyed and excited to be "back" in Nova Scotia, (after a Gold-medal loss at the Word Jr's in Halifax, which we won't mention). It was his first time to the Valley, so Duffy and I thought we'd show him the sites...lunch at Jungle Jim's, and a night out at Legends. Needless to say, he had a blast, and so did former NHL netminder and current CBC Broadcaster Kelly Hrudey and CBC's Scott Russell, who were also special guests of the Acadia Hockey Axemen that night... (I'll never forget driving those two home after Legends in my 2001 Dodge Neon...but that story is for another day :). Fleury was a great kid with a big smile then, and look at him now...here he is with a 1-0 lead in the NHL Eastern Conference Final still sporting the biggest grin on his team.

HAPPY VICTORIA DAY!

I hope you are having a great long weekend...I'm having fun in the studio for a special holiday show...the boss asked if I'd work the holiday Monday, knowing I'd work for coffee and Timbits...and here I am. I'm not usually awake to see afternoons...so that in itself is a special treat.

The Early Show will return tomorrow, with the School info Pack, Early Show Pool of Knowledge Trivia for the Swimwear hut, and all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect from the show after a long weekend ;)

Until then...

I've Boldy Gone...where many have gone before me...

WHAT A MOVIE!!! I was a little late getting to the theatre to see Star Trek...like a week late...but I finally made it...and was it ever worth the wait! It was AMAZING. With the previews of G.I.Joe, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator: Salvation playing before the film last night...I was already amped up for a great movie.

First off, I should say I am by no means a "Trekkie"...I didn't see the original movies more than once, and I only saw the odd episode of the original series and a dozen or so of Star Trek: The Next Generation...so needless to say I wasn't dressed up like Spock to see this one. That being said...I loved this film. It was the first movie in a long time that made me want to raise my fist and cheer at times throughout, and leave me with the immediate feeling of wanting more as the final credits rolled. J.J. Abrams did a masterful job re-introducing the beloved characters, without re-creating them. If you loved the original cast and characters, you will not be disappointed in the performances of the new...as they did an amazing job of bringing the old familiar crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise back to life. I need not say more than simply...go see it...it's the best ten bucks you'll spend this spring...

I'm off to Water Street Furniture in the Berwick Industrial Park this afternoon. I'll be there from 3:00-6:00pm and I hear there are some fantastic deals on home furnishings there for a limited time...so don't miss out! I'll be looking for a new couch...as I'm told my Cow-print sofa is "so 80's" and needs an update...we'll see what happens. I'll have some gift certificates from Swiss Chalet to give away too!

...And don't forget "Fast and Furious" night at the Valley drive-in Sunday! Myself and the rest of the Magic 94.9 Misfits will be there for what plans to be, a fun-filled night of hot rods and great movies. If you plan on entering your ride in the car show for a chance to win prizes...the gates open at 7:00pm!

Enjoy your looooong weekend, and I hope to see you in my travels!

Star Trekkin'...Fast and Furious...and a stinky fridge...

I'm FINALLY planning to see Star Trek tonight...so a review tomorrow.

First off, happy 65th birthday to Star Wars creator George Lucas. Party safe today George, and "may the force be with you".

Secondly, how about that stinky fridge story??? If you didn't hear the foul news...

An office allowed their kitchen fridge to get really moldy. How moldy? It got so bad that when a worker finally decided to clean it, the stench of the rotten food sent seven people to the emergency room. Another 28 people needed treatment for vomiting and nausea.

Firefighters evacuated the AT&T building in downtown San Jose after the noxious fumes caused one employee to called 911. A haz-mat team was even called in. Crews quickly located the source of the stench -- the unplugged refrigerator that had been crammed with moldy food.
Authorities said the worker who cleaned the fridge was OK. Apparently she can't smell due to allergies. I think I'm going to go home and clean the fridge...after I finish my leftover pizza from New Year's.

Are you ready to get Fast and Furious??! The Valley Drive-in will be the place to be Sunday night, as the Coldbrook and District Lions and Magic 94.9 host an amazing "Fast and Furious" night at the Drive-in. Bring your hot ride for a chance to win cool prizes and watch "The Fast and the Furious" on the big screen, the first of a special triple-header that night. A car show...a car movie...prizes...it should be great! gates open at 7:00pm. Tomorrow on the Show, Kirk will join me to tee-up the rest of the weekend at the Drive-in, and we'll announce this week's winner of a car-load pass!

Enjoy today's sunshine...because it's not expected to return until Wednesday...I know...

"Do or Die" for Sid the Kid and Halifax gets "HIP"

It all comes down to this...Game 7...Penguins and Capitals...this series couldn't have been written any better from Hollywood screen writers...

As expected, the Battle of NHL Superstars...Alex O. and Sid the Kid has lived up to its billing in one of the NHL's greatest series' to date...and it all comes to an end for one...and I hate to say it...but I think the Caps' are going to prevail on home ice tonight. Regardless of who wins this series...Ovechkin and Crosby have shown the world that they are for real...and will be entertaining hockey crowds for years to come...and after their respective careers...they, I'm sure, will have Stanley Cup rings to show their grandkids.

July 4th Halifax gets "Hip"! I had heard a rumour that my favorite band was going to be playing a Halifax date...and yesterday it was confirmed. This will be the first Virgin Festival in Halifax, in the event’s fourth year of operating in Canada, with a 15-band lineup including The Offspring, Dinosaur Jr., Metric, Montreal’s Plants and Animals, Arkells from Hamilton and Newfoundland’s Hey Rosetta! Tickets for Virgin Festival ’09 are $75.50 plus service charges, and will be available starting Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Metro Centre box office (441-1221 or http://www.ticketatlantic.com/). See you there...

...and see you tomorrow for the Early Show on Magic 94.9!

Big Concert Rumour...and a love for Spock

When I got off the air today, there was an email in my inbox with excitement as the attachment. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney may rock it out in Halifax this summer. That's right...EX-BEATLE PAUL McCARTNEY MAY ROCK OUT IN HALIFAX!!! I know we've heard this one before...but this time around several sources are saying McCartney is close to announcing an outdoor show at the Halifax Common site Saturday, July 11. One source said the announcement could come within days...stay tuned...

Being a Toronto Raptors fan, I was pleased to learn that the team had dropped the "interim" tag from Head Coach Jay Triano's title. I think it was a good move, the players like him, and more importantly, Chris Bosh likes him...so hopefully #4 will stick around after next season and sign an extention this summer...good luck Mr. Colangelo.

Erin Sullivan was on the show this morning...she is one of a few broadcasting students from the NSCC waterfront campus, spending a couple of weeks here at 29 Oakdene. After a week learning the ropes under the watchful eye of one Jerry Neville at our Windsor studio, she was able to experience radio from a different perspective...one that did not include 4 a.m. consumption of Coca-Cola and random caffeinated outbursts about the history of professional wrestling in Nova Scotia. There was however...self-discovery for the young apprentice. Although she did not catagorize herself as a "Trekkie" there was a moment where she saw a picture of Spock for the first time, and was instantly mesmerized by his stature...and pointy ears. I guess I understand her affection, but I'm afraid I have introduced a permanent distraction for the young radio host-to-be...as I found her unable to tear away from anything to do with the veiled Vulcan...focus was lost. I tried to get her to try our famous brew here at the station to help her snap out of it, but she would have no part of the taste of recycled tires which I have grown accustomed to. The pictures above tell all...I wish Erin and Spock all the best.

Until tomorrow...

Olympic-Sized Fair Trade Early Show today...

I hope you had a chance to tune into the Early Show today...I had a couple of great guests...

Satya Ramen, the development officer and coordinator of the Just Us Development and Education Society joined us from her Wolfville office to chat about Fair Trade Weeks which is underway in Wolfville. All kinds of special events mark the importance of the town's involvement and you have until Friday to take in the festivities, starting with a photo exibit tonight at the Al Whittle Theatre. Visit http://www.fairtraderesource.org/link-up/events-calendar/?id=1062

RBC Olympian Hugh Smith joined me in the Magic 94.9 studio this morning...Hugh is training for the 2011 Games in London...and stopped in before his visit to Coldbrook Elementary school. he said that the Torch run next fall will be the biggest ever, and that YOU can win the chance to be a Torchbearer! Just visit www.rbc.com/carrythetorch to enter for a chance to be a part of history!

So predictions were accurate..."Star Trek" cleaned up at the box office, raking in nearly $76.5 million dollars over the weekend, starting from it's Thursday opening. Trek, which cost about $140 million to make, is expected to bring in more $200 million this summer.... Star Trek's reviews have been almost all positive too, and the film is riding an amazing 96% Fresh score on the film review website Rotten Tomatoes -- that’s 96% of America's movie critics issuing positive reviews. By comparison, here are the scores of the last five Oscar winning movies:

2004 – Million Dollar Baby – 91% Fresh
2005 – Crash – 75% Fresh
2006 – The Departed – 92% Fresh
2007 – No Country For Old Men – 94% Fresh
2008 - Slumdog Millionaire – 94% Fresh

Here's a neat list...

KIRSTIE ALLEY: 1982On Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan as Lt. Saavik

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: 1988-1993On Star Trek: The Next Generation as Guinan

I hope to see "Star Trek" soon before my "must-see" list gets too big. This weekend Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons" opens...so I better get to the theatre!

Tomorrow on thr Early Show, "Early Show Pool of Knowledge trivia" returns at 7:20 with a new question added to the pool. Today's question: What is the significance of Sidney Crosby's jersey number, which is 87? Answer: Sidney was born August 7th, 1987...his jersey number signifies his birthday.

Have a good day!

Trekkies rejoice!

You can't appreciate Shakespeare until you've read him in the original Klingon." -- General Chang (Star Trek VI)

it's opening night of "Star Trek"!!

The highly-anticipated remake of the Gene Roddenberry hit makes it's return to the big screen tonight as James T. Kirk, Spock and all the favorites from the original are re-introduced with a fresh young cast. J.J. Abrams directs...which I'm excited about, because he does a great job with "Lost" and I loved his style in the monster-movie "Cloverfield". From what I've seen so far in trailers...it doesn't look like it will disappoint. You can catch all the excitement tonight at the Empire Theatres in New Minas with showtimes at 7:00pm and 9:50pm.

Tomorrow on the Early Show, your final chance to qualify in the morning for "Lap of Luxury", with the grand prize draw saturday at Holland Home Leisure in New Minas...and tomorrow will also be your final chance to "Name the Famous Mom" at 8:40 with the Mother's Day draw happening soon after.

And the best part about tomorrow??? It'll be FRIDAY!!!

Campfires will never be the same...

I was sad to learn that we lost one of my favorite actors on Monday. The very funny Dom DeLuise passed away at a Los Angeles hospital and he will be greatly missed. The campfire scene in Blazzing Saddles will forever go down in movie history as one of the funniest moments in film...and who could ever forget Dom's hilarious scenes with Burt Reynolds in The Cannonball Run 1 and 2 and Smokey and the Bandit 2. The outtakes are what really tickled your funny bone...you could tell the two generally had a love of working together. He was 75.

Lori Whitman was today's qualifier for "Name the Famous Mom"...tomorrow at 8:40 it could be you! Don't miss out on this week's special Mother's Day contest for a chance to win $300 dollars worth of pampering from Beleaf and Occasions!

It's McHappy day! It was Richard and Maurice McDonald who founded McDonald’s Restaurant in 1948 in San Bernadino, California. The Big Mac was introduced in 1968. How much was it for one Big Mac at that time? 49 cents! I'll be at the New Minas McDonald's for lunch today, I hope to see you! Don't forget some proceeds from the valley McDonald's locations will support Camp Brigadoon. I'm on my way now to see the love of my life...the McChicken.

A Star is Born...and kicked in the face...

What a night at the Kentville Centennial Arena last night!

Hundreds were in attendance to witness Ultimate Championship Wrestling with former WWE superstars The Honky Tonk Man, the Bushwacker, Al Snow and more. My favorite part? Even though I got to be the manager for the bad guys in a 6-man tag-team match...which was very cool...my favorite part of the night had to have been when Jerry Neville took a size 18 boot to the head from The Hickster while entering the ring. It almost knocked the glasses clean off his face...haha...Thanks for the memories Neville! It was a great night, and all the wrestlers put on one heck of a show. In case you missed it...U.C.W. tells us they will be back!

Bev Hershman was this morning's qualifier for "Name the Famous Mom". She became the lastest to qualify for friday's draw for a great Mother's Day Gift from Occasions and Beleaf. Tomorrow...it could be you! catch "Name the Famous Mom" again tomorrow morning at 8:40! Listen and Win returns tomorrow, and so does "The Early Show Pool of Knowledge Trivia" at 7:20. Like to win? Then tune in!

Have a great day, and if you are up for a video tonight...The Curious Case of Benjamin Button hit store shelves today...as soon as I see it...I'll post my review. Until then...try to enjoy some of that sunshine today...it looks like we might not see anymore until the weekend...but it is the Valley...that all could change by tomorrow.

H.

Laughter, Atari and Body Slams

First off...I had a chance to see the very funny Gerry Dee at the Westin in Halifax on Saturday night. To sum him up in one word...hilarious! If you are not familiar with Gerry...he was on NBC's "Last Comic Standing", "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie"...he's "The Sports Reporter" on TheScore and he is currently the guy on the Toyota commerical playing with a voodoo doll on his front step(...you know the one where his neighbour spills some coffee or something in his car, and the guy walks away with pins in his back). If you didn't get a chance to see one of his sold-out shows last weekend, he said he'll be back in November...you HAVE to go see him, he was great. He also has a DVD out called "No Reading Ahead" which he signed for me and I can't wait to watch it.

What a Kentucky Derby!! That's right...once the Pittsburgh-Washington game wrapped up...it was time to watch Paris Hilton go hat shopping for 2 hours...then yes...there was a horse race...and what a race it was. In case you missed it: Mine That Bird, a horse favored only 50-1, became the second-biggest underdog to win the Kentucky Derby. Purchased for only $9,500 and ridden by jockey Calvin Borel, the horse pulled away from the pack toward the end of the run and won by almost seven lengths. It was quite a race.

Thanks for all of your support at "The Valley's Largest Yard Sale" yesterday! We raised a whole bunch-load of money for Relay for Life and camp Brigadoon. And...I was very excited about this year's purchases. Last year...it was a stuffed ALF...which I knew would be hard to beat. Well I think I came close...an Original Nintendo Entertainment System and an Atari. I can't wait until next year!

Don't forget tonight is Wrastlin' night! “Ultimate Championship Wrestling” goes tonight at the Kentville Centennial Arena. The bell rings at 7:30 and will feature “ Al Snow”, “Bushwacker
Luke”,“The Honky Tonk Man” and more… You can also Join your favorite wrestlers this afternoon from 1-3 for autographs and get tickets at Paddy’s Pub in Kentville. You can also get tickets at the door tonight...

Adults -12 dollars
Seniors and children under 12 - 10 dollars

Catch you back for the Early Show tomorrow morning for more "Early Show Pool of Knowledge Trivia"..."Musical Chairs" and "Name the Famous Mom"!

...now if I can just convince Stewart to battle me in a ladder match...

It's FRIDAY!!!!!

What a tough time in the province...Swine Flu...now the Spryfield fire...

I hope you found the Early Show a nice distraction from all the headlines this morning...I had a blast with the debut of "Early Show Pool of Knowledge trivia". Sonia Faulkner of Port Williams will go down in Magic 94.9 history as the first ever player of the new contest. Thanks to Liz and the gang at Swimwear Hut for all the support! If you haven't been to the store...it's right in the old NSLC location in New Minas. (I'm told that it was an NSLC one time...I wouldn't know...ahem). You have to go see them...they have sandals with little hidden compartments for debit cards and...flasks...for...water...;) I can't wait to play again on Monday!

It was also great to chat with Kirk Longmire from the Valley Drive-In...if you didn't hear...IT'S OPENING WEEKEND!!! Magic 94.9 is very excited to support the Coldbrook Lions and be a part of the 2009 season! Load up the car and head to Cambridge for great family fun...this weekend's lineup is Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and Pink Panther 2...both family friendly, funny titles. And the best part??? ONLY 10 BUCKS for the CAR-LOAD THIS WEEKEND!!!

http://www.valleydrivein.com/

Also, don't forget my fellow Magic 94.9 Misfits and I are invading the Kentville Centennial Arena on Sunday for the Valley's Biggest Yard sale! Baked goods baked by Misfits and odds and ends swiped from our parents' basements...maybe even game-worn undershorts autographed by Jerry Neville. To steal a line from Mike Landry..."Why would you go anywhere's Else?"

X-Men Origins:Wolverine is out in theatres this weekend...don't forget to wait until after the credits for a special hidden "easter egg"...I guess there's some pretty important information revealed for the series.

Have a good weekend...and I'll catch you back here 5:30 Monday morning on Magic 94.9!
