Happy Monday!

First off, let's congratulate our winners from Friday morning!

Congratulations to MEALINE KILLINS the winner of an 18" Stuffed Crust Meat Lover's Pizza from the Columbia Restaurant in Wawa on Friday with Mel in the Morning.
From the Columbia Restaurant where the pizza hotline is 856-1300, and your favorite radio station... JJAM FM!

And Congratulations to RALPH ZAGAR (Celebrated his Birthday on Tuesday August 7th), the winner of an Ice Cream Cake from the Wawa Handy Store.
If you're celebrating a birthday, celebrate with us and you could win!

And in the "Have a Happy Monday" file...(because it's our job)... here's a tongue twister! Try it out, get your friends to try it too... it's highly amusing!

"Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said "this butter's bitter! But a bitof better butter will but make my butter better" So she bought some betterbutter, better than the bitter butter, and it made her butter better so 'twasbetter Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter!"

Also, we've been talking about the Impossible Quiz for a few days now... and it's pretty tough! If you want to try it out here's the link: http://www.addictinggames.com/theimpossiblequiz.html

Now... you can try to get far without cheating... but if it gets too frustrating (believe me.. I understand your pain) here's the link to the answer key: http://notdoppler.com/theimpossiblequiz-answers.php

Have fun!

This ones for the coffee drinkers!

Good morning everyone, I'm sitting over here in studio B, while Daniel Walker does a fine job in studio A. As I'm sipping on my favorite tea (the apple-mango variety), and reading over the morning news run, I find something rather interesting. Apparantly caffeine helps memory. Who knew?! Here's a snippit of the release from CBC.ca.

"Caffeine may help older women protect their thinking skills, according to a study published in the August 7, 2007, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study found that women age 65 and
older who drank more than three cups of coffee (or the
equivalent in tea) per day had less decline over time on tests of memory than women who drank one cup or less of coffee or tea per day. The results held up even after researchers
adjusted for other factors that could affect memory abilities, such as age, education, disability, depression, high blood pressure, medications, cardiovascular disease, and other
chronic illnesses."

Interesting that it only works for women. And just because I don't understand why toddlers and baby's need 24 hour tv (I saw it on my dish and thought it was a joke.. apparantly not!)... here's a little something from one of my favorite humorists. His stuff can be found on the web @ http://www.fewings.ca/.

Have a great day! :o) Enjoy the sunshine... but remember that sunscreen is your friend. haha.

Happy August!!

2007-08-03T09:16:00.000-04:00

Well Hello Again!

2007-05-17T10:13:00.000-04:00

Ok, so I'm a horrible blogger! I apologize. I shall work on that. It's been busy around here lately, and I've been trying out some magic tricks with being in as many as 3 places at one time. I'm also going to work on bringing my camera with me everywhere... I have a new purse and it's pretty big so it should fit. hehe. So look forward to pictures coming soon (I know I've said that before but this time I mean it)!

So what's new? Well... let's see how much I can remember (I have the world's worst memory I'm sure, but somehow I can remember tons of phone numbers. I've probably got yours memorized!)

- Last weekend I was in Chapleau at the Chapleau Auto Parts Open House. It was a whole lot of fun with frisbees, balloons, BBQ, ATV Rides, and more! A BIG thank you to Jacques, Claude, Karen, Paul, Ron and everyone else.

- Some of our recent pizza winners include Dick Watson and Craig Filion. Dick recently told me his pizza was "great and huge". Glad you enjoyed it Dick! Keep listening for your chance to win an 18" stuffed crust meat lovers pizza on Friday mornings from the Columbia Restaurant.

- We've got a new sponsor for The Birthday Club! It's your favorite little corner store, the Wawa Handy Store. AND as an added bonus we're giving away ice cream cakes on Friday mornings now. If you're celebrating a birthday that week, your name goes in the draw! Yummy!

- We've got a new contest just in time for summer. Starting on May 28th we'll take qualifiers for our Summer Camping Contest! Keep listening for more details on how you can win this $200 dollar prize.

- We've been giving away Subs all this week from Subway. You could win one tomorrow.

And that's about all I can remember for now. So much happens around here, sometimes I lose track of what day it even is. lol Anyone want to be my personal secretary?

Oh! And I also learned that Snowcake is coming out soon! Definetely check it out, the scenery is good and the movie's not bad either! :o)

I better get back to business....

Until next time my friends, take care. Please remember not to drink and drive, or drink and boat this weekend, good luck to everyone heading out for the start of Pickeral/Walleye fishing, and have a safe and enjoyable long weekend.

Mel

** I included this joke in the post today because it does provide a little chuckle, but more importantly, it reminds us that sometimes we don't think about what we're doing, and I want to talk to you all again on Tuesday morning so a friendly reminder about boating safety was in order. Also, you'll notice neither of these 2 gentlemen are wearing proper floatation devices. They might be a pain in the a$$ but they also just might save your life. From the safety conscious desk of Mel in the Morning!

Snow?!!

2007-03-30T09:59:00.000-04:00

Another week, another snowstorm in Chapleau this morning, and just when I thought spring was here! *sigh*

Congratulations to HEATHER BURKHOLDER in CHAPLEAU, the winner of an 18" Stuffed Crust Meat Lover's Pizza from the Columbia Restaurant in Wawa on Friday with Mel in the Morning.

From the Columbia Restaurant where the pizza hotline is 856-1300, and your favorite radio station... JJAM FM!

I'm off to Chapleau this weekend to check out the "Timmins Big Band" performance put on by the Chapleau Performing Arts Club. I'll be sure to snap a few pictures.

Hey everyone!

I know it's been a while, but we've been really busy here at the station!

First of all, I'd just like to point out that I LOVE CHAPLEAU! I had an amazing time up there during the Annual Northern Pike Ice Fishing derby, and I'd like to personally thank Bill, Barbara, Rick, Lorraine, Roger, and everyone else who helped to make the event successful. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. Chapleau really is the friendliest town in the North (and as a Wawaite that's dangerous for me to say. lol).

If you managed to catch the NHL All Stars Alumni Hockey game, you already know it was fun all around! The Wawa All Stars managed to pull out the win 6-5... but it was a close one! They really gave the Toronto Maple Leaf Alum a run for their money!

Get your fishing gear ready, and we'll see you in Wawa this weekend for the 2007 Ice Fishing Derby. Once again JJAM FM will be keeping you up to date on all the happenings throughout the derby weekend. I get to put on my snowsuit again and buzz around the lake talking to as many participants as I can who aren't phone shy :P, and I'll be in the arena with updates as well.

We've got a couple new things happening around JJAM, next week we're going to give away 2 NHL Alum autographed hockey sticks from Canadian Tire. And we've teamed up with Canadian Tire to bring you the "FISH ON" prize pack. Just listen for the sound of the rod and reel for your chance to win $250 in fishing gear and supplies on March 23rd.

I think that about brings us up to date. :D I promise I won't neglect you any more! And just to make it up to you, I'll post some pictures from my time in Chapleau! Enjoy!

Winning is FUN!

2007-01-19T08:53:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to JUSTICE DAY-ANDRE, the winner of 20 pieces of Myles' chicken from the Columbia Restaurant in Wawa on Friday with Mel in the Morning.

Also, make sure you're listening next week because we're giving away a pair of 14 kt Diamond stud earrings with a total karat weight of 20 for Valentine's Day from Wawa Jewellers!

The value of this very special prize is $330!
