Leaside Red Team Minor Novice players Rory Cushing and Ewan Findlater were raising funds for their team on Bayview Apple Fest Day II (Sunday) with members of their families along to help. Rory’s mom Allana and Ewan’s dad Andrew and sister Keira were there outside Sport Swap with copies of the Ultimate Cookbook for Hockey Families. Price $25. Cheap at twice the price. Elsewhere, Apple Fest Sunday was a brisk day on Bayview.
BUSKERS PLAYING AT APPLE FEST
Anthony Spinley, the new owner of what was Wiseys Pies and Bakehouse has rebranded the business under the name North Shore Pie Co. The name change comes as Spinley and his wife Jen take the New Zealand sweet and savoury pie and baked goods firm in the direction of a business-to-business wholesaler. They will be located after the end of the year in Etobicoke. The present Wiseys (now North Shore) location at 874 Eglinton Ave. E. at Laird Drive will close at the end of December. To those asking why the change, Spinley wrote on Facebook that the “rebranding is because of new ownership and we feel as well with the new name the connection with New Zealand is more clear. Fear not however, our products are the same, if not slightly better. I’ll let you be the judge.” As the new logo suggests, “north shore” refers to the area north of Auckland.

Chicago Blackhawks come from behind to tie the Leafs and then go on to win 5-4 in an overtime shootout. Ugh. CBC
It’s been underway for 70 years above the Black Hills of South Dakota. It’s a monument to honour aboriginal legend Crazy Horse. Will it ever be finished? That’s a poser for the gods of great works but it looks like they are just getting started on his horse.

The chilling tale is a warning. USA Today
It’s official. AT&T will buy Time Warner for $107.50 per share, or $85.4 billion U.S. They announced the agreement Saturday night, following a string of reports in recent days that appeared to have accelerated the talks between the two companies. The move means AT&T will own networks like CNN, HBO, TNT, and several other media properties. AT&T will likely face a harsh regulatory process, but there is some precedent. Comcast, another operator, was allowed to buy NBC Universal in 2013 — Business Insider.
TFS has finished at this site. No alarm was declared.

John Tory, this is your life. No seriously, Your Worship, thanks for visiting South Bayview on the first of two Apple Fest days. The second is Sunday. The mayor is quite popular. A notable public official will find both acquaintances and total strangers (see headline slider photo) to share a shutter-click or two. We see Josh Matlow (Ward 22) and Patrick Rocca on the scene. The crisp and sunny Saturday was a boon to the BIA Apple event. A good first go at what should become a tradition.
Beautiful fall afternoon in Toronto. Checked out the scene at the first @LeasideBIA #OctoberAppleFest. pic.twitter.com/aTBivjj0rJ
