Porter: The power of soup, skates and simplicity
Jutta Mason helped ensure the rinks at Dufferin Grove Park
will open Nov. 21, 2009, a week earlier than last year
— and that the hot chocolate will be on.

Source: The StarIf you've been grumbling about the rain these past few days, blame Jutta Mason.
She's been praying for it.
Not one to leave things up to bureaucracy – even a celestial one – she's taken matters into her own hands. If you, like me, had reluctantly tugged off your pyjamas before midnight one night this week, pulled on your rain boats and ventured across the city to Dufferin Grove Park, you too would have found her beneath the foggy lights – oversized winter coat, canary-coloured mitts, struggling with a heavy industrial hose to flood the two rinks.
"If they knew I was doing this, they'd be completely aghast," she says, smiling mischievously. "What the hell? The problem is they're not doing it."
