Love (And Rewards) For Kruz's Bad Acting Segment
/Tuesday morning as I was going about my daily getting-ready-for-work routine while listening to the tunes and banter from the fine folks at Kruz FM, I stopped in my tracks as co-host Catherine Hanrahan was in the midst of Kruz's "Bad Acting" segment, where they act out a classic movie or TV clip. And boy, can Catherine act....upon hearing her voice it was like hearing Rachel Green from Friends! I recognized the line instantly and had I not been so enthusuastic about actually winning, I could have recited the entire episode with season and episode number! Alas, I ended up calling and being the very grateful winner of tickets to The Peterborough Singers presentation of The Beatles 2: Across the Universe, $25 for Ricky's All-Day Grill, and some goodies from Gerri's Arts & Crafts. Thanks to Catherine, her co-host Pete Dalliday and Kruz FM for making my day! If you would like to hear Catherine's winning line, er, I mean Rachel Green's, check out this clip! —Julie Morris

Look At The Totally Awesome Superman Peterborough Tattoo This Man Has On His Arm
/How much does Brandon Slavik love Peterborough? Well enough to get this amazing work of art on his arm (see pics below). As he explains to us: "I have it on my left arm. It originally started out with the Superman symbol when I was 18 and I decided to turn it into a sleeve with a different layout. I am born and raised in this town and take pride in the skyline that our town offers. All of the buildings have meaning to myself/family or are unique to our City. I have St. John's Anglican Church, Quaker Oats, Hunter St. Bridge, Times Square Clock, Market Hall, Lift Lock and the Peterborough Water Tower. My childhood friend and amazing Tattoo Artist Scott Mason spent over 8 hours on the arm in two sittings. He came up with the layout and we agreed on the shots of the buildings and which buildings we put in there. The neat thing was the more we started talking, the more buildings we wanted to include (like our childhood school King George) but my arm was not big enough to fit everything on." Wow.
