Vancouver, BC - The Canucks for Kids Fund (CFKF), in partnership with Trevor Linden, is proud to give the Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship to four outstanding secondary school graduates from across British Columbia. The scholarship, consisting of $2,500 dollars, is awarded to students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership through a commitment to affecting positive change in their communities through various initiatives. Since the scholarship was first introduced in 2008, the Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship has awarded $80,000 to 32 graduating students throughout British Columbia.
"Every year we receive applications from students across BC, and every year I am so impressed by the incredible work these youth are doing in their communities," said Linden. "I am honoured that we are able to provide financial support to this year's scholarship winners as they pursue their post-secondary studies and the endless possibilities that lie ahead of them."
2017 Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship Recipients:
Luke Harris is a graduating student from Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in North Vancouver. Luke is known for turning challenges he faces into opportunities for success.

In 2016, Luke founded the Run 4 the Health of It initiative which works in conjunction with BC principals and BC Athletics calling for inclusion of high school para athletes on high school sports teams. Luke's work with his organization has been featured on various news outlets such as BCTV Sports and the North Shore News. In the fall, Luke will be starting in the UBC Engineering program, where he will pursue his degree with the purpose of one day inventing devices which will make life easier for those with special needs.

ForMylesMattila, receiving the
Chair of the Board Award during a
B.C. Hockey banquet on Saturday
night was a thrill. Equally exciting
was finding out his initiative
regarding youthmental health is
gaining recognition andmomentumaround
the province.
The 18-year-oldMattila, a recent
graduate of the Cariboo Cougars
majormidget program, was handed
the Chair of the Board Award
while at Sun Peaks Resort for the
B.C. Hockey annual generalmeeting.
Each year, the award goes to
an individual who has “brought
honour to the amateur hockey
fraternity through an outstanding
humanitarian endeavour.”
“Forme, I didn’t expect that at
all,”Mattila said of winning the
award.
“That wasmy first time going
to the AGMfor B.C. Hockey and
they just did a fantastic job and I
couldn’t bemore happy to have
been there and be the recipient of
that award.”
Mattila is the founder of a
programcalledMindRight,
which promotes education and
awareness aboutmental health
issues among young athletes. The
program– with help fromJessie
Sprague and the Cariboo Cougars
– was launched this past hockey
season, was adopted by the Cougars
players and coaches, and was
promoted within the B.C. Hockey
MajorMidget League.
At Saturday’s banquet,Mattila
gave a presentation about
MindRight and, afterward, was
informed by Randy Henderson,
chair of the board for B.C. Hockey,
that 91minor hockey associations
in the province want to get
involved with the program.
“That was really inspiring to
hear that and know that we’re
taking the right steps forward and
going in the right direction,”Mattila
said.
Mattila first became interested
inmental health when he read
a newspaper story about former
Vancouver Canucks forward Rick
Rypien, who suffered fromclinical
depression and took his own life in
August 2011. That story ledMattila
tomindcheck.ca, an organization
that sprang fromRypien’s
death and one that has become
a valuable online resource for
people coping withmental health
issues.Mattila, who recognized
first-hand the struggles being experienced
by a friend and hockey
teammate, became a spokesperson
formindcheck.ca.
Last summer,Mattila came
up with the idea forMindRight,
which he envisioned as a tool
of assistance for youth athletes
dealing with the same types of
problems.
On top of all this work in the
area of youthmental health,Mattila
helped bring a summit called
Balancing OurMinds to Prince
George inMay.
Mattila is getting ready for the
next phase of his life, which will
see himplay junior B hockey for
the Kelowna Chiefs while he’s
working toward a business degree.
He plans to become a lawyer and
intends to keep promoting good
mental health.
“I’ll do whatever I can to really
help out and speak up for others,”
he said.
• Also on the weekend at Sun
Peaks, Trevor Sprague and fellow
Cariboo coaches Tyler Brough
and BryanMacLean were presented
with a Silver Skate Award
for the team’s 2016-17 championship
in the B.C. HockeyMajor
Midget League. The award, given
by the Vancouver Canucks organization,
was presented by former
Canuck and P.G. resident Darcy
Rota.
“I think it was 1965 that he
said he won that same award,”
Sprague said. “(The award presentation)
was pretty special for
(Rota) and pretty special for Tyler
and Bryan and I as well.”

If anyone else out there is a Supe fan, please drop me a note or add a comment!
Out of his custom package, my custom Mego-styled SUPERHOST figure. Not perfect, and not with Marty Sullivan's head, but pretty close to that Mego charm, I think.

Joel paid tribute to great Cleveland Late-Nite hosts like The Ghoul, Son of Ghoul, Ghoulardi, and SUPERHOST!!!
I spent many Saturday afternoons as a kid with Superhost and Godzilla . . .
Тази година започнах най-сетне да ползвам airbnb – платформата за апартаменти под наем. Досега не мога да се оплача, но подбирам или superhosts или жилища с оценка 5 (от 5). На мен конкретно квадратура не ми трябва, мога и в хотел да спя, но в апартаментите в airbnb има перални, които ползваме активно и така носим по-малко багаж. Пък и попадаш в малко по-различна битова среда, което ми е интересно, и можеш да побъбриш с домакина.
Определено случихме на апартамент – тристаен на главната пешеходна улица в най-вървежния централен район Алсанджак на смешна цена. За района предупреждават, че е много шумно и не може да се спи през нощта. Но аз имам тапи за уши, а и заради пандемията баш в събота въведоха вечерен час за кръчмите в 22. Кръчмите, баровете и ресторантите наистина бяха безброй и претъпкани. По-ниски цени на алкохола в цяла Турция надали има (а имат висок държавен данък). Ако се разходите из Алсанджак и не слушате на какъв език се говори, няма и да познаете в коя страна сте. Някоя южна, спокойна, свободна, средиземноморска.
На домакин също случихме. Батко на около нашата възраст, живял 15 години в Истанбул, моторист, сърфист, фен на фитнеса и международен пътешественик, с който можеш да бърбориш на всякакви теми. С една дума, наш човек. Появи се за кратко при настаняване и напускане и даде съвети за един район, където отидохме.

The urban woodland feel of the Saverien Manor Guesthouse delighted the depths of my being and soothed my weary essences. It was a slice of calm amidst the city. The perfect 'home base' for adventure. I was in town on business but after work there was time for rest and relaxation. It felt like I was in the forest. Vanessa really outdid herself with all the homey presentations. It was as if little gifts presented themselves wherever one looked. From musical soundscapes wafting about the aether upon entry to the sheets on the bed to the ability to do some cooking (everything needed for meal prep was available including spices!) were smile-enducing. The lotions provided made my skin feel silky smooth. That is important to me. Handmade Elegant Homesteading bath products, oh my. They added to the ambience. The woodland and pumpkin soaps were my favorite and the cedar body lotion reminded me of a spa experience. It's the little touches that enhance the experience, things that show an exquisite care. Luxury! It was above and beyond just a place to sleep. It was an experience! The big bed was firm and comfortable with really soft sheets. The air conditioning provided a soft white noise that helped me sleep. The pool was crystal clear and refreshing. The hot tub was absolutely great with goodly strong jets that massaged aching muscles. The covered parking was perfect. There is also power available for electric cars. Being impressively clean and reasonably priced added to the greatness. A personal tour around the property with Vanessa was magical. Peaceful. I got the feeling of being away from it all, on a vacation, in the wilderness. There was a hammock - such a divine place to read a book or take a nap. And a swing chair! We chatted about life and preservation of buildings from the past. I was schooled on the history of the property. Wonderful. The garden looked great and Vanessa offered me a freshly picked tomato after I was admiring them. Yum! Vanessa was amazing and answered all of my questions and recommended fabulous local restaurants and nail salons. I loved my experience. I will return to this slice of nice in Sacramento.
