Thankfully not the original one but only its sweet copy prepared by a local pastry shop in Frydek-Mistek, a Silesian town in the eastern part of the Czech Republic where Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ondrej Palat welcomed the trophy Wednesday A cake with grey icing the same size as the Cup was shown to more than a thousand fans on the main square of Palat's hometown and a piece of 'Cup-cake' started to build up two hours before Palat and the trophy arrived at the square.After that Palat brought the Cup to the local arena Polarka where he showed it to dozens of young hockey players from Frydek-Mistek."It was quite tough to carry the Cup around town all day but these are beautiful moments and no piece of my body hurts," Palat said at the ice rink "I think I signed a couple of thousand autographs today It is a busy day today but to bring the Stanley Cup here in Frydek has been my dream and I am really enjoying it right now."

Final as shown by the size of the crowd at Palat’s day with the Stanley Cup last summer “The mayor said it was the biggest spontaneous people gathering since the Velvet Revolution in our town square,” Jakub Mikulik And when Palat scored late in the third period — his 12th career playoff game-winning goal — his father He’d have to go to the liquor store the next day “We didn’t know if myself and Ondrej’s parents would be there alone and have to eat 100 servings of goulash,” Mikulik joked And other than those who were too wiped out from a nearby music festival they attended first with Palat scoring at approximately 4:30 a.m “The atmosphere was truly magical because we had a big screen projection rather than a big LED screen which works much better when it’s dark,” Mikulik said “So we lit up the arena only with small lights that are on the stairs and the whole atmosphere felt like a clear night with millions of stars around us.” The Lightning win meant that Palat’s parents’ game-day rituals worked Hockey players are notoriously superstitious but Pavel and Hana may have them all topped Here’s their routine on Lightning game days: Pavel’s library and rum shelf have become almost like a scrapbook of Ondrej’s career with every rum and book marked with the game opponent it makes it that much more special with his added story behind it,” Mikulik said Mikulik got to know Palat and his family over the past five years while working for the local hockey club in Frýdek-Místek Pavel is in charge of recruiting and Mikulik is responsible for the professional team so they put together events to connect them both playing with borrowed or used equipment in the industrial town that is home to coal miners and steelworkers Pavel a soccer coach who now runs the youth academy they finally were able to afford to buy him Nike skates he had begged for the family left the bag with the skates in the car while they went to the grocery store But Palat recalled how countryman Pavel Kubina donated equipment to kids in their shared hometown after Kubina won the Stanley Cup in 2004 with the Lightning Kubina brought hockey’s holy grail to Frýdek-Místek sparking Palat’s dream of him one day doing the same “He’s ‘Sneaky P,’” captain Steven Stamkos said “You have a player that’s played for you this long Palat practices with the local professional team HC Frýdek-Místek getting on the ice with them and signing autographs He donated equipment to them from Bauer through the NHLPA Goals and Dreams fund which aided grassroots hockey programs for economically-disadvantaged children There’s a sign under the big LED scoreboard at Palat’s local rink in Frýdek-Místek It’s a large team photo of the youth team there but translates to: “Congratulations Ondrej and thank you for being a role model for our young hockey players.” “Everyone wants for Christmas and birthdays a Lightning hat or a shirt,” Pavel said will those in Frýdek-Místek be wearing Lightning gear next year Palat is set to be an unrestricted free agent in a few weeks which means this could very well be his last few games in a Tampa Bay uniform And Palat would likely have to take a team-friendly deal to remain with the only team he’s ever known talked about how much the kid he once healthy-scratched in AHL Norfolk has become one of his favorites And Tampa Bay has become Palat’s second home settling in a Davis Islands home with their 3-year-old daughter “I know Ondrej definitely wants to stay,” Mikulik said “He absolutely loves everything about Tampa Coach (Jon) Cooper has been with him for more than a decade It would definitely be his number one choice by far to stay.” Mikulik jokes that Pavel needs to be employed by the Lightning as their No 1 “international ambassador.” After Friday’s Tampa Bay win Pavel took a dip in the pool and planned out his trip to pick up another bottle of rum Said Mikulik: “It’s going to be one of the best from his collection.” The underground rapid transit lines

as the hangout spot for the artsy crowds Hostal de Pinós is located in the geographical centre of the autonomous region the ranking considers several distinct but essential factors these quiet areas will now be available on all main routes in the country The academic institution shows a deeper understanding of the well-being of its students The growing trend in basic service provision has its own name – zero-fare Transport mobility as a basic human right and free service: Who would’ve thought this could be possible some decades ago in the EU more and more places are starting to embrace the idea and offer their residents (and tourists) the chance to move about their city without financial worries comfortable life as a modern urban denizen is seen as a necessity in prospering societies such as CO2 emission from private transport traffic congestion and the need for more spaces have been weighed as issues that need solutions And then there was the war in Ukraine and the consequent rise in fuel prices that showed the precariousness of having to rely on individual car ownership The Luxembourg government was the first to respond, making the country back in 2020, the first in the world to offer free public transport and beyond which will take the same step on 1 October 2022 Making public transport free across the board in larger societies could still be too complex and inefficient. Most recently, the case of Germany’s 9-euro ticket experiment showed that it can lead to overcrowding and problems during critical moments like public holidays More practical and easier to manage is the introduction of free public transport in towns it could then be scaled up to a larger area The approach is also known as zero-fare or free-fare transport it was actually first tried in a suburb of Toulouse called Colomiers in 1971 and the service there survived until 2016 when it closed down due to reorganization and inefficiency Things are only looking up though as increasing number of European local authorities are showing their dedication to the provision of public goods that benefit the people And they are not afraid to experiment in uncharted territory the inhabitants of Tallinn (Estonia’s capital) voted overwhelmingly in favour of free public transportation The problem in Tallinn can be compared to the problem in Luxembourg City: thousands of commuters travel to the city centre every day many people with low incomes struggled to pay The system has been functioning without any major hitches for almost a decade now even if analysts say it hasn’t led to a reduction in private cars on the streets residents can travel on public transport for free A study conducted a few months after the switch found that it had discouraged locals to drive their cars Although two-thirds of respondents said they had depended on cars over half said they were now regularly riding buses to get around About 5% even said the availability of free buses helped convince them to sell their car or not buy a second vehicle Aubagne (also in France) was a pioneer in implementing the first free tram network in the world and public transport has been free there since 2009 the initiative turned out to be a great success there were 5,000 fewer cars driving around the city every day The popularity of public transport also rose by 235 per cent Cascais is, so far, the only municipality in Portugal to have opted for free-fare public transit. And it is happy with the results Anyone who has heard of Livigno is probably also an avid skier This village in the Italian Alps offers its public transport free of charge from 7:30 in the morning until 20:00 in the evening The town is very clear to its visitors: nobody needs a car to discover it and this sure sounds like a good way to stand out among winter destinations you might want to explore some island vibes in the North where you can ride the bus for free all you want It is known as the sunniest place in all of Denmark and its colourful houses and modest locals make it an easy-to-choose destination Keep in mind that the ferry that gets you to the island Many people would rejoice if Amsterdam were to implement a completely free public transit network the good news is that the city ferries floating on its canals are indeed free to pedestrians we would find that there are notable examples of free transport as well people can use free public transportation in Frýdek-Místek The number of passengers increased by as much as 40 per cent during the first two years What’s really cool is that the free buses take you easily to villages further away and thus go beyond the town’s borders to provide a service for the adjacent regions The longest free ride takes you 30 kilometres further to the touristy Beskydy mountain The regional expansion aspect of zero-fare services has also been introduced in parts of the Lower Silesia region in Poland in Lubin and throughout its canton and in some agglomerations of the canton of Legnica an industrial city with 100,000 inhabitants Samokov is a town in Bulgaria with about 27,000 inhabitants lying at the foot of the Rila Mountains on the way to the country’s famous Borovets ski resort The initiative was initially intended for residents only public transport was offered free of charge to everyone Velenje is the sixth largest city in Slovenia, and one of the 100 recently selected Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 It has a network of free yellow buses that transport you around the city These are some notable examples of European cities which would be also worth visiting this summer in order to try their free transit offer first-hand Whether they will serve as an inspiration for the scaling-up of zero-fare transport on a wider scale remains to be seen The 10th European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns (ESCT) sets the stage for stronger cooperation between the EU national and local level to fast track Europe's transition to climate neutrality Urban dwellers across the EU are having a say in making their surroundings friendlier to people and the environment Forests in the EU can help green the European construction industry and bolster a continent-wide push for architectural improvements Apply by 10 November and do your part for the transformation of European public spaces An interview with the Mayor of a Polish city that seeks to reinvent itself An interview with the newly elected ICLEI President and Mayor of Malmö A conversation with the Mayor of Lisbon about the spirit and dimensions of innovation present in the Portuguese capital In a cultural heritage building in central Frýdek-Místek, Czech Republic, sits Ondřej Bělica’s Clair Plum Salon, a multifunctional space uniting a hair salon with an architectural-sculptural studio and residences centered around the core element of a suspended wooden triangle this creates a stage-like podium which doubles as a sculptural centerpiece tying the various functional programs together at a focal point the artist and architect injects elements of nature through rustic wooden materiality and flowers to bring a cottage-like atmosphere into the city center creating an ‘oasis of calm’ amid the busy space the interior is defined by the key elements of local wood shaped by simple techniques and low-cost materials such as roof battens Clair Plum Studio offers a different kind of mood during the day Clair Plum Salon was created in the site of former medical practices in the city’s central square. Architect Ondřej Bělica sought to bring a touch of cottage living into the city center infusing elements of greenery and wooden materiality across the space All pieces of wood were sourced from small local companies The studio is dominated by a lattice structure that divides the space into a working and a rest area which is connected to a vaulted multifunctional room and a workshop Creating separate zones with efficient functionality a system of solid spruce wooden shelves are anchored to the walls meanwhile stainless steel work surfaces with storage spaces are integrated on either side most furniture pieces in the studio were custom made by the team while the remaining were adopted for reuse Injected a sense of artistic sensibility throughout the design team uncovered the original paintings on the main wall and created a single large-format image the serene space sits amid a central square the ‘brain’ of the studio is the designer table where all ideas and digital processes are made the artist studio contains three spaces and wooden construction a quiet space for rest on the upper platform simple construction made by screwing wooden sticks into architectural objects the central space is the multifunctional hall for creating and hosting social events name: Clair Plum Salon architecture: Ondřej Bělica location: Frýdek-Místek designboom has received this project from our DIY submissions feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers here.
