Toronto-born actor Corey Haim has died of a drug overdose, a number of L.A.-based sources are reporting.
The ’80s teen heartthrob co-starred in a number of hit films with fellow actor Corey Feldman, including Dream a Little Dream, License to Drive and the cult classic The Lost Boys.
The Los Angeles Police Department told celebrity gossip site TMZ.com that his mother called police after she found the 38-year-old’s lifeless body in his Oakwood, Calif., apartment.
Haim was pronounced dead at Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank around 3:30 a.m., police to KTLA.
From 2007 to 2008, Haim co-starred in the A&E show The Two Coreys with Feldman. Haim was nominated for a viewer’s choice Gemini for his role in the reality series.
After the show was cancelled, Haim returned to Toronto to join the cast of Shark City, which co-starred Vivica A. Fox.
Since his rise to fame, Haim admitted he had battled drug addiction, but in 2004 he told the U.K. Sun he cleaned up after moving back to Toronto.
“I’m clean, sober, humble and happy,” he told the tabloid at the time.
Police told TMZ.com the fatal overdose was “possibly accidental.”

On Friday, March 5th, Tessa Bonhomme and Rebecca Johnston sounded great on the Morning Show!

Tessa Bonhomme and Rebecca Johnston stopped by the morning show Friday to talk hockey, show us their Gold medals and thank their family, friends and Sudburians for all their support over the years.

Both young ladies were extremely gracious and we are so fortunate to have  them as Ambassadors of our city. Of course we took time for the Photo Op with the Gold Medalists and also got a chance to wear the Gold Medals too.  How cool is that?

1. Be grateful — People who wrote letters of gratitude to others who’d helped them in some way — even if they didn’t send the letters — reported a lasting increase in happiness over weeks and months after beginning the habit.
2. Be optimistic — People who visualized an ideal future, such as having a loving partner or finding a fulfilling job, and described the image in a journal reported increased feelings of well-being after a few weeks.
3. Count your blessings — People who wrote down three good things that have happened to them every week showed significant boosts in happiness.
4. Use your strengths — People asked to identify their greatest strengths and then told to try to use them in new ways had increased happiness. As an example, a person with a good sense of humor could lighten up business meetings with jokes.
5. Commit acts of kindness — People who donated time or money to charity, or who helped people in need, reported improvements in their own happiness.

Seems when Canada hosts a party, we always look for the approval of our friends to the south.
If you search the internet, you’ll find no shortage of so-so reviews for the Winter Games in Vancouver.
One reporter even had bad things to say….ABOUT THE WEATHER!! (LOL…it’s Vancouver!…Hello!!!)
However, NBC’s Brian Willaims gets Canada. He had this to say:

After tonight’s broadcast and after looting our hotel mini-bars, we’re going to try to brave the blizzard and fly east to home and hearth, and to do laundry well into next week. Before we leave this thoroughly polite country, the polite thing to do is leave behind a thank-you note.

Thank you, Canada:

For being such good hosts.

For your unfailing courtesy.

For your (mostly) beautiful weather.

For scheduling no more than 60 percent of your float plane departures at the exact moment when I was trying to say something on television.

For not seeming to mind the occasional (or constant) good-natured mimicry of your accents.

For your unique TV commercials — for companies like Tim Hortons — which made us laugh and cry.

For securing this massive event without choking security, and without publicly displaying a single automatic weapon.

For having the best garment design and logo-wear of the games — you’ve made wearing your name a cool thing to do.

For the sportsmanship we saw most of your athletes display.

For not honking your horns. I didn’t hear one car horn in 15 days — which also means none of my fellow New Yorkers rented cars while visiting.

For making us aware of how many of you have been watching NBC all these years.

For having the good taste to have an anchorman named Brian Williams on your CTV network, who turns out to be such a nice guy.

For the body scans at the airport which make pat-downs and cavity searches unnecessary.

For designing those really cool LED Olympic rings in the harbor, which turned to gold when your athletes won one.

For always saying nice things about the United States…when you know we’re listening.

For sharing Joannie Rochette with us.

For reminding some of us we used to be a more civil society.

Mostly, for welcoming the world with such ease and making lasting friends with all of us.

Here’s the picture Rich and me were talking about last week after Team Canada’s big win in the Women’s Gold Medal game.  Thanks to Linda and Barry McCrory for the picture.

Celebrations included Sudbury’s own Rebecca Johnston on the Zamboni after the game…and Tessa Bonhomme at centre ice.

Hey, these 2 just don’t know (or care) that they’re supposed to be rivals.
Thanks to Lisa Koski for posting this on Facebook.
En-JoY!!

Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette has the world on her side.  Only two days after losing her mom, the 24-year old scored a personal best in the short program on the first night of women’s figure skating.

She is currently in 3rd place but her courageous performance in the face of tragedy brought many to tears.

At the CTV broadcast position in the stands, 1988 Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Manley felt her throat constrict and her eyes well up, overwhelmed by the occasion and by the raw, recent memory of losing her own mother. She didn’t speak for the rest of the program. “I know I’m going to get a lot of flack back home,” Manley said. “I couldn’t hold back the tears. I can’t fathom losing your parent at the Olympic Games, the moment you’ve worked your whole life for. She could have fallen 10 times tonight and I would have felt the same way. It’s a gold medal to me just to see her get out there.”

On Thursday she skates in the long program with a chance to win a medal but with all this young lady has been through …just her showing up is more than anyone could have asked for.

A listener sent us this. (Thanks to Hoot Gibson.)
I wish more Americans could see it.
Face it. Seems we’re always looking for the approval of our big cousin.
En-JoY!
