My last day today.

Posted By: Kristen Stephens · 12/22/2011 7:55:00 AM

So today is my last day on the CJ104 Morning show for just over a year.  It comes with mixed emotions for me.

I LOVE what I do every morning and as cheezy as it sounds I consider it an honour that you trust me enough to invite me into your home, work and cars every morning as you are running around trying to keep everything going in your own crazy life.

I share pretty openly my life on the air.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  You hear about my husband and my son. My cooking disasters, my soap box rants, My stories of my parents and sisters.  You were there when I reviled that I had been diagnosed with cancer this year and shared my surprise of finding out that I was expecting a new baby.

Many people ask me if I plan to take the full year ...

YouTalk--325-3033--The Tebow effect

Posted By: Kristen Stephens · 12/20/2011 8:29:00 AM

Tim Tebow is all over the media these days.  He has a very unconventional way of playing and has brought the topic of religion into sports coverage.

Some NYC kids have been suspended from school for "Tebowing" they knelt down and "prayed" in the hallway of school and because they blocked the hallway were suspended.

The last Denver (Tebows team) vs. New England football game was the biggest ratings draw of a regular season football game in over 4 years.

And yet Tim Tebow is a polarizing figure.  Some don't like how he plays the game and others don't like how he brings religion into every play and press conference.

What are your thoughts on the Tebow effect?

YouTalk--325-3033-- Will plans for 2 new schools be scrapped?

Posted By: Kristen Stephens · 12/16/2011 8:26:00 AM

Two schools in our area; Sounthern Carleton and Centennial are suppose to be replaced. Already 2.5million dollars has been spent on the planning of the 2 new schools.

Now John Slipp (former chairperson for the Woodstock Area Schools Initiative) is starting to believe that the government will not come through and will end up scrapping the plans on building the two new schools, because no announcement has been made by the Alward government regarding moving forward into the building stage.

Do you think we will see the two new schools become a reality or will it be shelved in support of other school projects around the province?
