’It’s an environmentally sensitive area. It is used by me and other people as a sanctuary and a spiritual retreat:’ Douglas Counter TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Birds sing. Monarch butterflies flutter. The breeze rustles the leaves of towering trees and meadow grasses. The Etobicoke Creek gurgles as it gently flows over the rocks. The trail is reminiscent of scenes from the 1992 feature film, A River Runs Through It. Yet, construction by the city is imminent on a 1.2-kilometre long, three-metre wide, multi-use asphalt trail to replace the trail’s existing dirt and gravel footpath. Douglas Counter, a lifelong resident of the Burnhamthorpe Road and Renforth Drive area, argued the plan will destroy people’s spiritual experience of the natural area. "It’s an environmentally sensitive area. It is used by me and other people as a sanctuary and a spiritual retreat," an impassioned Counter said. "I’ve had amazing experiences with wildlife. "Some people go to church. Some people go to synagogue. Some people go to mosque. Some people worship in nature."

Staff/Metroland

The Etobicoke Creek winds its way through the valley east of Eglinton Ave. The city is proposing to pave the gravel and earthen trail that runs alongside the water. Counter said he routinely sees great blue heron, white-tailed deer, mink, beaver and redtailed hawks along the trail, a favourite spot of nature enthusiasts. Construction signs appeared near the trail in recent days. The city project is in a partnership with Toronto and Region Conservation (TRC). A Ministry of the Environment spokesperson confirmed the project is pre-approved under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, meaning no Environmental Assessment work is required. Counter argued the city did not give proper public notice and consultation with ravine users. A city open house on the project, held May 18 days

before the Victoria Day long weekend, was poorly attended, Counter said. Residents could review project panels on display and speak with city staff, but there was no formal presentation. "The city doesn’t realize how people use this space," Counter argued. "Anyone who uses this trail has no idea this is happening." The trail project is part of the Bikeway Trails Implementation Plan adopted by Toronto City Council in 2012. The city mailed out 11,000 flyers on the project to area homes in advance of the May 18 open house, said Shawn Dillon, acting manager of cycling infrastructure and programs. The mailer was sent to an area bounded by Eglin-

ago in a car accident. "Every time I’m suffering bad or anything upsets me or I feel stress, I get on my bike and go there and do a little meditation," Milicevic said. "I’m not the only one. It’s a sacred place, a sanctuary." Like Counter, Milicevic argued the city "needs to look for other solutions." Dillon said the rationale for the city-TRC project is to connect one of only two trails that remain unlinked to allow cyclists and trail users to travel from the Toronto waterfront all the way to the Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine. "A tremendous number of people already use the trails in the area on foot and on bicycle. It’s needed to provide a connection in

ton Avenue West, Burnhamthorpe Road, Renforth Drive and Eastgate Parkway, he said. The city also posted information panels from the open house to its project webpage, Dillon added. But Counter noted four of those project panels involving a trail overview, Eglinton access, the trail’s realignment and the proposed 100-metre vegetative buttress planned to shore up the creek’s embankment - remain blank pages to this day. Public comment on the project closed on June 1. Mississauga’s Branka Milicevic, 57, also considers the spot her "sanctuary area." Being there heals her, she said, after she suffered a concussion six months

a safe and sustainable way," Dillon said. Shoring up erosion of the creek’s embankment is also a safety priority, he said. "The erosion needs to be addressed for the safety of the trails and of users," Dillon said. "If we don’t address it, we’ll lose more to erosion." Counter argued erosion also occurs on the forest floor above the creek marked by fallen mature trees. "We want the proposed trail to be relocated to the top of the plateau of the ravine, and that it not be asphalt," Counter said. "We want the current site at the bottom of the ravine to be protected and preserved, and allowed to heal." That won’t happen, Dillon said. "The city plans to pave a 10-foot wide trail right next to the river, create a buttress with boulders 260feet-long right in the creek, take out 40 native trees and take out most of the natural topography," Counter said. "This spot is so beautiful. It’s going to ruin the integrity of that site ecologically, and in terms of our enjoyment of it." Dillon reiterated the city’s view. "It’s an important trail connection that provides a really vital link from our waterfront to the Greenbelt," Dillon said. "With greater access to this natural environment, there will be more users. The city is doing this in an environmentally considerate and sustainable way that really cares about the natural environment while meeting the needs of users." The trail is expected to be closed for nine months for construction.

Sherway Farmers’ Market moves to Church on the Queensway Sherway Farmers’ Market has moved to the Church on the Queensway. The popular weekly farmers’ market is now open on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Oct. 27 in the church’s parking lot at 1536 The Queensway across the street from Ikea. For more than 20 years, Etobicoke residents have purchased fresh, seasonal and local produce and locally made food products, rain or shine, from Sherway Farmers’ Market. The Church on the Queensway location "provides customers easier access in and out of the parking lot, ample parking and on-site washrooms," Farmer Fresh Market said in a statement. Sherway Farmers’ Market and its vendors support Haven on the Queensway to help fight poverty and hunger by donating to its food bank.

Teen encourages ’Selfless 16’ acts of charity JASMINE HUI jhui@metroland.com Soheila Mosun, 16, is driven to raise awareness for community causes, and her work and efforts are beginning to reach across Ontario. Though she is only in Grade 11 at Appleby College, Soheila is the founder of Selfless 16, an inspirational youth movement that empowers youth to give back to their communities through their 16th birthday. Instead of having a Sweet 16, Soheila encourages youth to celebrate their milestone by raising funds and awareness for local communities and charities that might not be as fortunate. "It started when I started attending Sweet 16s and I saw how lavish and extravagant they were," Soheila said. "At what point are we going to start thinking about others and a little bit less about ourselves?" Kevin Ding is one of the student ambassadors for Selfless 16 and he said he joined because it provided an opportunity to help others, when the spotlight is supposed to be on themselves. "It’s quite powerful to be

helping young people be able to transform their perspectives about their community and also about themselves and what they can do to help the place that they’re living in," Kevin said. Soheila has been working to move Selfless 16 all across Ontario by partnering with The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, Ontario, and Sean Boutilier’s Academy of Dance. The Duke of Ed. is an award that helps equip young Canadians between ages 14 to 24 for success in life by empowering them to discover hidden talents and potentials. This partnership will allow Selfless 16 to gain momentum around Ontario and gain support from The Duke of Ed. in all communities. "It’s empowering for kids to know that they can have an impact in their community," Executive Director Jeff Needham said. "We’ll provide support to make Selfless 16 last and have a sense of continuity." Soheila has also been working with The Duke of Ed. by participating in the award and recently earning her silver level award. The Duke of Ed. award

has three levels: bronze, silver, and gold. Each level requires an increasing level of commitment and effort. Through Selfless 16, Soheila is working toward her gold level award along with school, but even though she has a lot on her schedule, she said it is not hard to balance the two. "If you really love something, you’ll find time for it," Soheila said. Soheila will also be heading to Cornell University’s Summer College program for a three-week course on Inspiring Leadership to further develop her skills. She is working toward pursuing her goal of having a career in the hotel industry and hopes to attend Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration after she graduates. "I fell in love with the whole idea of hotels and hospitality, because to be good at hospitality you have to be selfless and be good at serving others," Soheila said. The next step for Selfless 16 will be meeting with Mayor John Tory some time in June to discuss further development of the organization and receive mentoring from experienced individuals.

Historian solves mystery of missing Stanley Cup puck CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com

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 hockeythemed 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 on-ice 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."

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-before-seen 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 gamewinner 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 Cup-winning 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 FiftyMission Cap well know, the Leafs didn’t win another Cup until 1962, the same year Barilko’s skeletal

"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 remains were discovered in a of the aftermath of Barilko’s Cupplane wreck just north of his winning goal. hometown of Timmins, Ontario.

Scrap it! BEHIND THE SCENES: Work starts early in the morning at the Canada Iron & Metal Co. All manner of vehicles pull in to the 1.75 acre lot at the north-east corner of Jane and Dundas streets, with their refuse aboard. After being weighed and paid the scrap is unloaded in a heap in front of a crane

equipped with an electromagnetic grappler, and the sorting begins. Canada Iron & Metal, after all, is a recycler and without a place for everything and everything in its place, nothing would get done. Brass, copper, stainless steel, e-waste and more find their way to bins and eventually out of the lot, to dealers and manufacturers for re-purposing.
