CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com As a hockey historian whose expert video consultancy services have been called upon by the NHL, CBC, ESPN, and Hockey Hall of Fame, Paul Patskou has made a career of digging up rarely-beforeseen vintage hockey reels.

But it’s archived film of his century-old home team’s most famous goal that the lifelong Leafs fan from North York counts as his greatest discovery.

"The story started when I retrieved some old footage from the National Archives that was marked ’unidentified.’ I didn’t have any idea what it was, but when I started watching it, I started recognizing the teams and the players right away," he said, naming the black-and-white images of Maurice "Rocket" Richard of the Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs’ Bill Barilko among those he was quick to identify.

"Then it dawned on me and I thought to myself, ’This couldn’t possibly be the final game in 1951 when the Leafs won the Cup, could it? Darn it, this IS the Barilko Game 5!’

"It was one of the best finds ever, because everyone talks about that goal."

True, countless articles have been written about that legendary Bashin’ Bill Barilko game-winner on April 21, 1951 that secured the Toronto Maple Leafs their ninth Stanley Cup championship.

Books, documentaries, and even a Tragically Hip song have cemented the four-time Stanley Cupwinning winger’s overtime goal and his mysterious disappearance while on a fishing trip just three months later - a lasting place in Canadian folklore.

It was, after all, the last goal Barilko would ever score. And as fans of The Hip’s hit song Fifty-Mission Cap well know, the Leafs didn’t win another Cup until 1962, the same year Barilko’s skeletal remains were discovered in a plane wreck just north of his hometown of Tim-

What many Leafs fans may not know, however, was that until last year there was a lesser-known mystery surrounding the gamewinning disc itself - a puzzle Patskou played a key role in unlocking.

For years, Hockey Hall of Fame officials believed they had the famous Barilko puck in their possession - the official story being that it had been donated to the Hall by a wheelchair-bound fan who had received it from referee Bill Chadwick right after Barilko scored it.

"But then a year or so ago, a fellow (Dan Donohue) came forward with a story about his father being at the game as a teen-

ager, and jumping on the ice and retrieving it from the net while the Leafs were celebrating," Patskou said, noting that no one at that point put much stock in Donohue’s story about his family having the real Barilko puck.

"Everybody believed the Hall of Fame had it, and nobody thought there was any footage of the game that proved any differently."

That’s when Patskou - lauded by many as the world’s foremost

authority on hockey video footage - dug back into his National Archive reels to pore over footage of the aftermath of Barilko’s Cupwinning goal.

"When the question of the puck’s authenticity came up, I said ’I’m going to check my outtakes’ and darned if I didn’t find postgame footage showing this guy going on the ice and heading towards the net," he said of the find.

The video not only showed a figure Patskou believes was a 16-yearold Harry Donohue making a beeline for the net, he said, it also shows Chadwick the referee leaving the ice without the puck in hand.

"That was a big deal, because we had these two pucks and didn’t know which one was real. And here, I sort of had proof now that what the fellow said about his dad retrieving it was true. Film doesn’t lie, you see."

The story of the two Barilko pucks and the long-lost video footage that helped prove which was real is now documented in Toronto Maple Leaf Treasures: Inside the Room with the Ultimate Leafs Fan

by Mike Wilson.

Patskou’s co-author byline on that special Leafs centennial collector’s edition is just one of about 50 writing credits the longtime member of the Society for International Hockey Research member has racked up over the years - and that’s not even mentioning the countless hockey-themed documentaries he’s contributed to.

Still, Patskou said, his very favourite part of the job remains digging up film on old-timers who have never seen clips of themselves playing before - lesser known Leafs from the ’40s and ’50s like Pete Conacher, Johnny McCormack, Phil Samis, and even Danny Lewicki, a member of that 1951 Stanley Cup-winning Maple Leafs team, who shared in the onice celebrations after Barilko scored.

"Most of the players from that game are passed on now, but a few are still with us and when I show them this (video), they’re astounded," he said, noting that he’s screened the footage for Lewicki.

"It takes them back in time to that moment, you see - when all the photographers were out there on the ice and they were getting ready to hoist Bill Barilko up for that famous photo.

It takes them right back."

EGLINTON CROSSTOWN UPDATE Work Hours Changing at Laird Station Site The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is moving into the next phase of construction at the future Laird Station.

Right now, excavation of the secondary entrance at Laird Station is nearing completion and mining will begin soon. During mining, crews will excavate from the existing shafts and work deep beneath Eglinton Avenue to help minimize disruption on the surface. In order to take advantage of the mining method, work will need to take place in 24-hour cycles. This continuous work will start June 2017, and carry on through to late 2019.

With this work, it is possible that some noise and vibration may be experienced. Several noise mitigation measures are in place, and works are carefully sequenced to minimize night-time impacts on the local community.

More information about this work can be found on our website at www.thecrosstown.ca. If you have any questions, please contact us.

the Home Depot Canada Foundation are funding the hub, which this year will see the installation of five new steel garden beds and two new cedar beds as well as plots of land cultivated in various areas of the Ashbridge Estate.

"In all of our projects, we’re demonstrating how you can grow food in the city in public spaces," said Higgins, who invited everyone to spend some time at the Ashbridge Estate this summer.

"It’s a great place for people to come and enjoy.

(The Ashbridge Estate) is a little oasis."Since 2013, Building Roots has worked collaboratively to create urban agriculture, kitchens, markets, and retail and food hubs.

The group is behind the Moss Park Market, the first container grocery store in North America, as well as Edible Allen Gardens, which brings together

up our urban garden and this is a beautiful space," said Jacqueline Dwyer, one of the collective’s founding members.

"A lot of people are interested in or work. We have a strong voice around local and clean food insecurity."

Among other things, The Black Farmers Collective works to expand the food justice lens, notably the access to affordable, culturally appropriate food.

"Good for is a luxury and it shouldn’t be. It’s a right," Dwyer added.

Aside from growing foods, the Ashbridge Food and Learning Hub will also be offering opportunities for individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds to learn more growing and harvesting food.

"As a dietitian, I understand the significant impacts of food security, especially in the urban areas of Toronto, so this project makes a lot of sense to me,"

community groups to grow, share and learn about local food production in the downtown core.

At the Leslieville site, a big focus is being placed on growing culturally-appropriate and heritage crops.

Last fall, the Black Farmers Collective planted garlic bulbs on a plot behind the Jesse Ashbridge House.

This spring, the North York-based group is back planting a number of fruits and veggies including hot or equatorial crops like okra, coriander, Jamaican sweet potatoes, tomatillos, hot and sweet peppers, chocho, sorrel, and tiger nuts to name a few.

The Black Farmers Collective, which was founded in 2013 in the Jane-Finch area, currently has a 1,400square-foot plot at Downsview Park but was looking for more urban growing space, which they’ve now found at the Ashbridge Estate.

"We’re excited to scale

said Stephanie Cullen-Conroy, Building Roots’ urban agriculture manager.

"The Ashbridge Food and Learning Hub is a place to grow healthy food and to provide some food education and food literacy. It’s a great place to share knowledge and bring people together. Gardening breaks down barriers.

"The Ashbridge Food and Learning Hub is one way Ontario Heritage Trust, which owns and operates the Ashbridge Estate, is working to animate the east Toronto property, said Sean Fraser, the organization’s director of Director of Heritage Programs and Operations.

"In recent years, we wanted to bring the community into the property.

Historically, it was a farm so we want to bring some of that farming back," he said.

"What better way to do that than with some urban agriculture? (The Ashbridge Food and Learning Hub) is bringing farming

ABOUT US

Is TO Council losing its civility as election looms?

There have been some rough patches at Toronto City Hall this term, but on balance, the months and years following the 2014 election have been remarkably civil.

It seems as though Mayor John Tory has fulfilled that much of his promise at least: bringing a measure of civility to Toronto, after four years of bad politics and worse behaviour under his predecessor, the late Mayor Rob Ford. Meetings are cordial.

Clean-living is the rule of the mayor’s office. And hot-button issues have largely been kept from the floor of council.

And it would be nice to believe that Toronto Council could maintain that agreeable trend. Alas, it appears not.

Last month, nearly a full day of Council was spent on a toxic debate over city funding for the Pride parade and Pride Toronto, given that the organization had asked that police not march in uniform in this year’s parade.

Led by Etobicoke Centre Councillor John Campbell, the debate dragged anyone who was watching into an ugly game of dog-whistle politics. It recalled earlier sociallyconservative pushes against the parade and the city’s active LGBTQ community: complaints about the public nudity in the 90s, or Queers Against Israeli Apartheid more recently. It set us back.

And last week, Etobicoke North Councillor Michael Ford kicked off another blast-from-the-past debate. At the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee June 8, he persuaded committee-members to vote for a $500,000 study to look at replacing the streetcar service on Queen Street with buses.

This brings forward an idea that his late uncle Rob Ford floated in the 2010 election, and that found some traction with some of his supporters: get rid of streetcars, which often frustrate motorists with their frequent stops and loading and unloading rules, and replace them with buses.

This will not save money, it should be noted. Because of track and overhead work, buses are running on Queen Street now. And because those buses have less capacity than streetcars, there are more of them-and they are costing the TTC an estimated $1 million a month extra.

What the motion - or at least its debate - will do is help remind Councillor Ford’s constituents that he is indeed his uncle’s nephew. It will keep the Ford name alive going in to election year 2018 - much the same way that Campbell’s political theatre will remind his socially conservative constituents where he stands.

It also is a profound waste of this city’s political time.

PEACH shows Jane-Finch youth they matter Community agencies change programs, change purposes, if they pay attention to the people they serve.

They lose funding, but the best hang in, because not to have them is unthinkable.

That’s true of PEACH, a Jane-Finch centre which has filled many roles over a quarter-century, and just went through the heartache of losing one.

Its School Away from School education program, after 10 years, was cut because PEACH couldn’t afford one worker the public school board thought it needed.

But PEACH – Promoting Education And Community Health – re-purposed its classrooms and is moving forward. Like the

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto young people who come to its Eddystone Avenue building, it’s resilient.

Most people don’t expect much of these youth.

Outside PEACH, they don’t often get asked what they want to be, or do, says Mary Lafontaine, managing director.

Many live in The Grassways, Toronto Community Housing townhouses scheduled to be torn down,

sending them to another side of Jane Street, where they won’t feel welcome.

PEACH shows them everybody can turn their lives around. It’s given them somewhere to go, someone to talk to. Or a place where they can be left alone.

"A lot of them don’t share what’s banging around in their heads, and here they do, at least some of it," Lafontaine says.

PEACH’s music program has been steady for 10 years.

Terrence Penny started coming at 16. He’s now 22, and working four jobs, but still coming.

Penny recorded an EP here, then performed at the Sony Centre. "Every song I’ve ever made has come out of PEACH," he says.

"The support here of everybody is crazy."

Youth come from as far as Rexdale or Scarborough to learn music, says Dave Clarke, mentor and chef here, who DJs CIUT’s The Masterplan.

"Kids respect you when they see you grab a broom," he adds.

But programs get funded, not the $12,000 a month PEACH needs to stay open.

"Right now, we’re in more than a pickle as far as that’s concerned," Clarke says.

Lafontaine says PEACH, which needs creative ways to cover costs, gets few donations. What could they use?

"Anything," she says.

Pumps will drain ’Ashbridge Pond’

Your Local Toronto Dealers!

Present:

Do you know someone who: Inspires you?

Gives back selflessly?

Does great work in the community?

Meet Stan For more than 25 years, the Etobicoke tennis pro has hosted and participated in a 24-hour tennis marathon benefiting the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

He is an Urban Hero.

Efforts will soon begin to address the impacts of flooding and high water levels at Woodbine Beach.

Ward 32 Coun. MaryMargaret McMahon updated constituents in her latest newsletter.

The Beaches-East York representative said in the coming weeks the city will start pumping the so-called ’Ashbridge Pond’ once water levels start to go down and all of the carp are fished out of the inland wa-

ter.

The industrial pumps that will be used to do so are capable of removing 500,000 litres of water in 60 minutes.

Anyone with questions about the beach volleyball courts at Ashbridges Bay is being advised to email the Ontario Volleyball Association at info@ontariovolleyball.org.

McMahon also gave some news on the work being done to repair the dam-

Happy Birthday Canada!

Celebrate Canada’s 150th

with these CANADIAN themed offers

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With a month’s worth of performances and exhibits already in the books, the east end Toronto Cultural Hotspot is set to kick things up a notch with an official launch ceremony.

The hotspot shines a light on artistic talent outside Toronto’s downtown core, which has long been seen as the centre of the city’s arts world. With local acts and venues taking centre stage all summer long, all eyes will be on the East York Civic Centre for the launch event.

"We had a soft launch and we’ve had activities underway as of the start of May, but this is our big

launch," said east end Cultural Hotspot spokesperson Nadira Pattison.

This is the fourth Cultural Hotspot event hosted in Toronto, with south Scarborough serving as host in 2014, Etobicoke in 2015 and North York in 2016.

Each year has served to boost the profile of arts and culture groups in the city’s suburbs, and while the launches usually take place earlier in the year, Pattison noted that it was pushed back in 2017 to take advantage of the scenic east end.

"We usually have the launches earlier in May, but we really wanted to do it outside," she said.

Acts on tap include Bollywood dance, Latin American music and an east-end barbershop quartet, but those in attendance will be able to enjoy much more than just live entertain-

ment.

"There will be a lot of interactive arts exhibits - The Junkestra will give people a chance to make instruments using recycled matters and join in a concert, Vibe Arts will be doing henna displays, Pamela Schuller will be doing a textile art installation, and of course there’s food," Pattison said.

The free festival will be a celebration of the arts, with many of the performers and artists hailing from the east end area bounded by Eglinton Avenue to the north, Lake Ontario to the south, Victoria Park Avenue to the east and Bayview Avenue/Don Valley Parkway to the west.

The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 17 at the East York Civic Centre. For more information, visit www.toronto.ca/culturalhotspot.

NXNE returns to port lands For a second year, the North by North East festival is returning to Toronto port lands.

From Friday, June 23 to Sunday, June 25, NXNE Port Lands will feature 30 acts on two main stages, art installations, a comedy

tent, carnival rides and games, and more.

In 2016, roughly 8,000 people made their way to the port lands for NXNE’s inaugural two-day event.

This year’s festival at the port lands has been expanded to three days.

The 2017 edition of NXNE will run from June 16 to 25 at several venues across the city, including in the port lands at Cherry and Commissioners streets.
