Current BIA chair Billy Dertilis says the new moniker – The Danny - is a great way for the retail district to differentiate itself from others along Danforth Avenue.

Neighbourhood rebranding stirring up debate JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Rebranding a stretch of the Danforth has put a current and past BIA chair on opposite sides of the road.

In recent weeks, the Danforth Mosaic Business Improvement Association has received much attention and at-times visceral reactions to its long-standing efforts to rebrand a roughly threekilometre-long stretch of Dan-

forth Avenue from Jones to Westlake avenues as The Danny. Billy Dertilis, who has served as chair of the BIA for three years, said the BIA has actually been working for more than four years to come up with a market-

ing plan that would generate additional foot traffic for the association’s 500-plus retailers and help sustain and draw the right mix of shops and restaurants to the ar-

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.

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-

Imperial Oil – Turofsky/Hockey Hall of Fame

(Above) Toronto Maple Leaf Bill Barilko celebrates after scoring the Game 5 OT goal to clinch the 1951 Stanley Cup; (Right) Paul Patskou is known as the world’s foremost authority on video and film footage relating to hockey and boasts the largest known collection of early NHL era and Original Six hockey tapes in the world. mins, Ontario. 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."

you’ll see every ethnicity Toronto has to offer," she said." (Multiculturalism) was the strength of the area so we called it Mosaic and we did all our initiatives under the vision. "That’s why she said she feels rebranding the retail strip as The Danny is a "slap in the face." "It’s a mistake to not honour what that area represents: the traditions of so many wonderful cultures," said Silver, who no longer has any stake in the area aside from living in Toronto’s east end. "I don’t think (The Danny) gives the correct impression of the neighbourhood. I don’t think it’s helpful. It doesn’t tell you anything about the area. The branding has to deliver the message." Silver said she hopes the BIA did its due diligence before rebranding itself. In the end, Dertilis said the Danforth Mosaic BIA welcomes the noise - good or bad. "In the history of the BIA we’ve never received so much attention. We’re trying to maximize on that and keep the ball rolling," he said."Everyone knows The Danny now."

ea.The moniker drew the community and media’s attention after new street signs were installed in the last few weeks. "We’ve been thinking of a way to differentiate ourselves and create a little bit of excitement," said Dertilis, who owns Red Rocket Coffee at 1364 Danforth Ave. As part of this process, he said the BIA consulted business owners, landlords, and residents. "What came out of these workshops was that no one wanted the area to be called the Danforth Mosaic. It came up spontaneously in every workshop," Dertilis told The East York Mirror during a recent interview. He said the BIA realizes change can be hard and you can’t possibly please everyone. "Obviously, any time you adopt a change there are going to be people who won’t like it. Some people have called (the area) The Danny for years. Some people like it, some people don’t," Dertilis said, adding the Danforth Mosaic BIA isn’t trying to change the name of the neighbour-

hood, the business association, or rename Danforth Avenue. "I think the strength of the marketing campaign will come through." Pat Silver, the founding chair of the BIA, says calling the diverse retail strip The Danny is a bad idea.A longtime Beach resident who owned an entertainment agency and building near Danforth and Greenwood avenues for eight years, she said those who established the Danforth Mosaic BIA worked hard to transform the strip from a "derelict area to a highly desirable" place to shop and patronize. "It was an orphan area with no BIA and no name," said Silver, adding a lot of time and effort, and consideration was taken to come up with the right name for the retail strip. "We had a lot of meetings and a lot of surveys. We spent more than a year looking at the vision and coming up with branding." She said the BIA settled on the name Danforth Mosaic because the commercial area was the most diverse one in the area and they felt it was important to recognize that. "If you shop on that strip

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

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. Reach Edges columnist Mike Adler at madler@insidetoronto.com
