Drugs carry an estimated
street value of $13 million
PICKERING — An Oshawa man has been arrested
and charged after an unknown substance seized from a
Pickering home in September was identified as carfent-
anil.
On Sept. 20, police say an activated carbon monoxide
alarm led to the discovery of a large cache of guns and pro-
hibited devices including overcapacity magazines, as well
as an unknown substance, in a Pickering home on Liatris
Drive.
Maisum Ansari, 33, of New Providence Street in
Oshawa, faces 337 charges including careless storage of a
firearm, possession of a restricted weapon and possession
of a prohibited device.
Ansari is the owner of the house in Pickering, police
said.
Police had also seized 53 kilograms of unknown sub-
stances and sent them for testing. Forty-two kilograms
have since been positively identified by Health Canada as
carfentanil, a deadly street drug. Carfentanil is a synthetic
opioid similar to fentanyl but 100 times more potent. This
narcotic is marketed as a tranquillizer for large animals. A
very small amount of this drug can be lethal. The total sei-
zure equals 420,000 doses of carfentanil with a street value
estimated at $13 million.
Ansari has been arrested and charged with posses-
sion for the purpose of trafficking. He was held for a
bail hearing.
Anyone with information about this investigation is
asked to call the drug enforcement unit at 1-888-579-1520
ext. 5802.
Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Region-
al Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at
www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may
be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

The lounge will allow people to smoke
from a pricey vape — specifically, Volcano
vaporizers — which the couple said is one
of the healthiest methods of cannabis con-
sumption. Members can also rent bongs and
pipes if they prefer.
Air purifiers will help clear the air. Canna-
bis merchandise such as bongs, pipes, and
grinders, as well as snacks and refreshments,
will also be for sale.
But there will be no cannabis sold on the
premises. Visitors have to bring their own,
must be 19 or older and cannot drink alco-
hol on site.
While the Sillets encourage people with
medical marijuana licenses to consume the
drug on the premises, they will not be check-
ing these licenses at the door.
While the couple insists many locals,
including nearby business owners, seem to
be on board, at least one person has a prob-
lem with the establishment.
“As much as I know they’re going to run
a tight ship, outside those doors who knows
what’s going to happen here?” said Ward 2
Regional Councillor Bill McLean.
He had asked city staff at an executive
committee meeting to look into regulating
such establishments.
Tiara, a University of Toronto graduate,
spent her entire years at school focusing on
cannabis and legislation. She found there
were many lounges in Toronto, which they
would visit, and noted they only know of one
vape lounge in Durham, which is no longer
in operation. It seemed to have operated
under the radar.
“We wanted to take a different approach,”
said Tiara, the company’s CEO. “We didn’t
want that sketchy vibe that often goes along
with cannabis.”
Tiara is a medical marijuana user for
insomnia and anxiety, as well as lower back
pain from a snowboarding fall she can’t
shake.
“At the end of the day, it’s extremely ben-
eficial for so many different things,” she said.
Annelene is a physiotherapist, and
believes in a healthy, holistic lifestyle.
The couple recently met a woman who
was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She
was interested in consuming medical mari-
juana, but didn’t want to consume it around
her children.
“This place is for people exactly like her,”
said Annelene, co-CEO.
Tiara said it’s also for those who cannot
smoke in areas that do not allow smoking —
a condo building perhaps — and don’t want
to smoke out on the street.
Marijuana is supposed to be legal in Can-
ada as of next July. Since 2015, medical mari-
juana users can smoke in many spaces where
smoking cigarettes is otherwise banned.
“Medical marijuana you can smoke
almost anywhere,” said Tiara. “Still, it’s very
frowned upon. From Oshawa to Pickering,
there are a lot of medical marijuana patients
who have nowhere to go.”
“We’re really trying to follow the law to the
best of our ability,” she said.
But it’s a difficult area, one on which many
seem unclear, as medical marijuana users
can light up just about anywhere in Ontario,
and legalization legislation is coming down
the pipe.
To McLean, the bottom line is smoking
weed is not legal in Canada at this time, and
he does not feel the lounge is appropriate.
“I think it’s more of a social thing, as
opposed to a medicine thing,” he said of the
lounge.
McLean is skeptical whether the lounge
will even be able to operate, and believes the
city has to start working on regulations sur-
rounding marijuana.
He said if marijuana becomes legalized
as planned, “(a vapour lounge) should be
licensed, it should be regulated, it should be
in designated areas where it could operate.”
He does not believe the lounge suits a
plaza, especially in a neighbourhood with
families living nearby.
“I have to be the bearer of the bad news
for them, but even if it was legal, I’d have a
real issue with it,” he said. “Even if you want
to equate it to a liquor-licensed establish-
ment, there’s regulations on them.”
Tiara also believes regulations — ones
that consider the needs of all involved — are
needed for the successful operation of vap-
ing lounges.
She said she’s shared her plans for open-
ing up the lounge with Durham police offi-
cers, and has told her local councillors.
Durham Regional Police Const. George
Tudos said if the shop were selling marijua-
na, it would definitely be illegal.
“There’s so many different things that we
would have to look into,” he said. “It would
be something that would be under our radar,
making sure it’s not in contravention of the
law. We want to make sure everyone is work-
ing within the parameters of the law.”
Kyle Bentley, Pickering’s director of city
development and chief building official, said
at the time, there is no wording within the
city’s zoning bylaws that specifically address
permissible uses associated with cannabis.
“There was never any wording that was
spoken to this one way or another, and it’s
something we’ll have to address as we see
something coming from the federal or pro-
vincial levels,” he said.
He said the city is hesitant to put any new
bylaws into place now, as both consultations
and guidelines from the province regarding
the management of marijuana are starting
later this fall.
“It’s very difficult for municipalities to
put out any current zoning info one way or
another without having a full breadth of what
the legislative changes will be,” he said.
Pickering councillor says City needs to establish regulations surrounding marijuana

The celebrations surrounding Cana-
da’s 150 have sparked many conver-
sations about our nation’s history and
remind us of how important it is to
remember our past. Understanding where we
come from and how the generations before us
lived helps us to grow and achieve success in
our present-day lives.
As an anthropology professor, I get to hold
history in the palm of my hands and, through
these artifacts, share in the lives of people who
existed long before our time. I can share expe-
riences and understanding about our past
with students who will use this knowledge to
help shape the future of our society and build
our legacy.
Archaeology at Trent University has built a
strong experiential learning component into
its curriculum, providing students with the
opportunity to attend field schools in Ontario,
as well as more exotic locations, such as Belize
in Central America. My project in Belize is the
latest in a long line of Trent field schools in
Belize.
I first went to Belize in 1990 as an under-
graduate student on a field school. Twenty-
eight years later, I am still returning to Belize
year after year, only now I direct a field school
for my own undergraduates at Ka’kabish, an
ancient Mayan city with a long history dat-
ing from 800 BC to AD 1500. My research is
focused on understanding how cities can sur-
vive for 2,300 years. Unfortunately, it is often
hard to balance preservation of the past with
the needs of the future, and sites like Ka’kabish
are in danger of being subsumed by develop-
ment. As part of my work, we are trying to raise
money to buy the 50 acres on which Ka’kabish
sits and create a new national park. We have
raised two-thirds of the money that we need
to create a National Archaeology Park in
Belize, and are working to raise the remaining
$17,000 via Indiegogo crowd-funding that will
finalize the purchase and enable us to protect
the site for future generations.
Not everyone has the opportunity to dig in
the ruins and travel to Belize, but that doesn’t
mean you cannot experience archaeology
or the history it unearths. On Saturday, Oct.
21, Trent University Durham GTA and the
Oshawa Museum invite the community to
participate in International Archaeology Day.
This free event will be held on the Trent Dur-
ham campus from noon until 3:30 p.m. and
will give community members of all ages an
opportunity to learn more about archaeology
and our history through interactive activities,
displays and presentations. I hope you will
come and I look forward to sharing my love of
the past with you.

It started simply with the urgings of a
favourite high school teacher and blos-
somed into so much more for a group of
Pickering teenagers, who are demonstrat-
ing a sense of civic duty and a true sense of
pride in their community.
Four Pickering teens — Salvatore
Demma, Dillon Mendez, Raymond Tarca
and Shavi Perera — are making a tangible
difference in their community, spearhead-
ing a movement they’ve dubbed as Pick-
Waste. Since the group’s first organized lit-
ter collection event this past summer, the
movement has gained momentum and
has resulted in cleaner parks and green
spaces all over the city.
Too often, teenagers are given a bad rap
for being self-centred, but these four are
showing leadership in a way that is beau-
tifying the city — removing one piece of lit-
ter at a time. It’s these selfless, community-
oriented initiatives that are worthy of rec-
ognition and praise.
Demma — a student at St. Mary Cath-
olic Secondary School — was inspired by
one of his teachers, who told his students
they had the power to make a difference.
It started for Demma with picking up a
bit of trash on his way home from school. It
soon grew to include his friends Mendez,
Tarca and Perera, who gathered for their
first official cleanup, filling two garbage
bags with trash from Westshore Beach on
July 1.
They decided they would do this on
a regular basis, gathering each Saturday
morning to remove litter from local parks,
schools and any other littered landscapes
that required attention within Pickering.
They’ve also recruited others to pitch in.
The group contacted the City of
Pickering, where they were able to obtain
cleanup supplies for free, including gar-
bage bags and gloves.
So far, the PickWaste group has com-
pleted 16 cleanups and filled more than
100 bags of garbage and recycling — and
the group has no plans to slow down their
efforts.
The group has grown to about 45 who
now take part. Demma recently gave a talk
about the issue at his school, and another
60 have signed up to become a part of the
antilitter movement.
He hopes everyone will get in the habit
of picking up litter wherever they are. We
couldn’t agree more. Litter is a blight on
the landscape of cities and towns across
Durham, deposited there by people who
are uncaring about the natural environ-
ment.
If everyone does a little bit of litter pick-
up, it will make a big difference across Dur-
ham.

Nice to know Ajax is doing its part to battle climate change
To the editor:
Re: ‘Ajax exceeds climate change goal five
years early’, news, Oct. 4
Kudos to the Town of Ajax for meet-
ing and exceeding its 2020 greenhouse gas
reduction goal ahead of schedule!
It’s wonderful to see that we live in a
town that is serious about addressing cli-
mate change. Don’t get discouraged by the
current U.S. president; there are still many
U.S. politicians, scientists and global com-
panies who are committed and working
hard to reduce emissions. China too is very
determined to tackle its climate and air
quality issues.
For us here in Ajax, continued progress
needs to start at home. With 39 per cent of
the remaining greenhouse gas emissions
in Ajax coming from residences, we can all
play a role through our daily choices and
help Ajax further surpass its goal by 2020. Greg Evans

Police looking
for one suspect
thought to have
broken in both times
AJAX — A glasses store on Rossland
Road East in Ajax was broken into twice
this week and police believe the same
person is responsible for both robber-
ies.
On Tuesday, Oct. 10,
at 7:57 a.m., police
were called to Sight
N’ Steps, at Ross-
land Road East
and Salem Road,
after it was dis-
covered that
display cases
had been bro-
ken and prod-
uct had been
stolen from
inside.
Then again on Fri-
day, Oct. 13 at 4:05 a.m., more damage
was done to display cases, more prod-
uct was stolen from inside the store and
police were once again called to the
scene.
Video surveillance shows one suspect
entered the business during both rob-
beries and police investigators believe it
to be the same person both times.
The suspect is described as male,
with a thin build and a white hooded
sweatshirt with light grey track pants
and black shoes. His face was partially
covered.
Anyone with information that could
help investigators is asked to Det. Const.
Ludlow of the West Division Criminal
Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520
ext. 1925.
Anonymous information can be sent
to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.
durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and
tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash
reward.

7 Deadly mistakes that will cost you thousands
when you sell your Pickering/Ajax home
Ajax/Pickering - A new report has
just been released which reveals
7costlymistakesthatmosthomeowners
make when selling their home, and a
9 Step System that can help you sell

This industry report shows clearlyhow the traditional ways of selling
homes have become increasingly less

they want for their homes and become
disillusioned and - worse - financially
disadvantaged when they put their
homes on the market.
As this report uncovers, most
homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes
that cost them literally thousands of
dollars. The good news is that each and
every one of these mistakes is entirely
preventable. In answer to this issue,
industry insiders have prepared a free

cash at gunpoint
in Pickering
robbery
PICKERING — A man and woman were
abducted at gunpoint and forced to with-
draw cash from an ATM before having their
car stolen early on Thursday in Pickering.
Two suspects are now being sought in
the incident, which began around 2:30
a.m. on Oct. 12 on Ravenscroft Road, Dur-
ham police said.
The man and woman were accosted by
two masked men, who produced a gun and
forced them to drive to a bank machine
at Westney Road and Williamson Drive to
withdraw cash.
The car was then driven to a nearby
school, where the victims were ordered
out of their car. The bandits stole personal
property before driving off in the vehicle,
police said.
One suspect had his face covered with
a bandana, while the other concealed his
face with a hooded shirt, police said.
The stolen vehicle is a red four-door
Nissan Sentra.

Letters to the editor
A future Pickering
airport won’t
necessarily employ
Durham residents
To the editor:
When discussing whether or not Pickering
needs an airport, it is important to consider
facts, not just uninformed opinion.
The case has been made that a Pickering
airport would bring in thousands of needed
jobs. But the skilled jobs mentioned are more
likely to go to individuals from Toronto who
have the required post-secondary educa-
tion, than to local people who may not. Do
we really want the noise and congestion an
airport would bring in order to provide jobs
for Torontonians, while our own people are
overlooked?
Ontario’s unemployment rate has
dropped to the lowest it has been since Janu-
ary 2001, according to the CBC, but 437,000
people continue to look for work. Interest-
ingly, Guelph, a high agricultural area, had
an unemployment rate of only 3.8 per cent
(Labour Market Report, June 2017). The fact
is that construction and agriculture added
jobs in Ontario in August 2017, while there
was a loss of 3,200 jobs in manufacturing in
the same time period (Labour Market Bulle-
tin for Ontario, August 2017).
What causes unemployability? Most
unemployed people have not made the tran-
sition to the new knowledge economy that
demands a well-trained, highly-educated
workforce. Demand is high in professional,
scientific, sales, and technical sectors. Health
care continues to be a major employer.
Ontario continues to be in dire need of engi-
neers and skilled tradespeople.
How many locally unemployed people are
pursuing post-secondary education in these
sectors with the University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology right on their doorstep?
MacLean’s (March 19, 2013) has dubbed the
problem “people without jobs, jobs without
people” in the “health care, mining, business
services and advanced manufacturing sec-
tors”.
Other factors like alcohol and drug abuse
account for other reasons individuals may
be unemployable. As early as 2011, research
was showing that binge and heavy drinking
was more prevalent among people who are
unemployed, and that unemployed people
are also likely to be smokers, use illicit and
prescription drugs, and to suffer alcohol and
drug dependence, which increases the like-
lihood that they will remain unemployed
(Henkel, 2011).
Individuals with disabilities also con-
tinue to have among the highest unem-
ployment levels. Ontario has recently
moved to tackle the very high levels of
unemployment among people with dis-
abilities (Matteis, June 5, 2017).
Building an airport, where more skilled
workers are needed, will not solve these
problems. A mental health and addictions
strategy, matching appropriate post-second-
ary education to the employment needs of
health care, business, and industry, and tack-
ling high levels of unemployment among
people with disabilities might.

Library renaming
grinds reader’s gears
To the editor:
Every time I drive past Petticoat Creek
library (I mean George Ashe Library and
Community Centre), I prickle and get agitat-
ed.
I’m sure George Ashe was a lovely person;
I do not dispute that.
I have a problem, however, with poli-
ticians arbitrarily renaming things while
spending my money, along with other tax-
payers’ money to do so. What was wrong with
the perfectly appropriate and suitable name
Petticoat Creek library anyways?
Toronto East General was renamed the
Michael Garron Hospital because Michael
Garron’s family donated $50 million. Who
donated the money to pay for the renaming
of our local library? I certainly hope George
Ashe’s family did.
Until my thoughts that taxpayers unwit-
tingly financed this are dispelled, I will shake
my head incredulously. It must be fun to
dream up ways to needlessly spend taxpay-
ers’ dollars; sidewalks and proper lighting are
boring and don’t come with photo ops and
grand openings!
Heather Jones Pickering
Reader praises young
leaders for lendinga hand in Pickering
To the editor:
Re: ‘PickWaste movement works to
beautify Pickering schools, parks’, news,
Oct. 11
I was delighted to read the article in
Wednesday’s edition on the News Adver-
tiser citing a young citizen, Dillon Men-
dez, and the others who have joined him
in picking up garbage around Pickering.
Bravo!
Each one of you are leaders in our com-
munity showing that each and everyone of
us can make a real difference. You make
me proud to be a resident and I’m sure you
are also making your parents and family
proud as well. Keep up the good work!

Durham’s Real Estate
Market Continues
To Remain Strong
October 5, 2017
Posted by: DRAR
Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) President Roger Bouma
reported 835 residential transactions in September 2017, down 23 per cent
compared to September 2016. However, this was a slight increase over the
previous month.
September also saw an increase in the number of new listings in Durham
(1,914), compared to the 1,556 new listings reported in September 2016.
The average housing price for September in Durham Region was $578,666,
a slight decrease over the previous month, however an increase of 4.25% over
the same period last year.
Homes listed on the market continue to sell in an average of 23 days.
Durham’s condo apartment continues to be strong, with sales up 16%
compared to the same period last year, and the average sale price rising to
$365,397, from the $314,839 reported in September 2016.
“Polls indicate that buying intentions over the next year remain strong,”
notes Bouma. “Durham Region is still one of the best places to live, work and
play. We offer the best real estate value in the GTA.”
Bouma added that with Metrolinx’s expansion plans of GO train service
to our eastern corridors it will only improve the lives of residents making it
easier for them to commute. The Bowmanville GO train extension will open
four new stations (two in Oshawa, one in Courtice and one in Bowmanville)
and will make living in the east even more palatable for residents.

Accused and the victim
had past conflicts that
had escalated said
witness who was
a friend of both men
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Shabir Niazi angrily con-
fronted his friend Keenan Corner hours
before he was shot to death at Corner’s
home in Ajax, a jury heard Friday.
The words exchanged over horseplay
with fireworks didn’t represent the first
time the friends experienced conflict, a
witness at Corner’s murder trial testified
Oct. 13.
Sean Thavarajasoorier, a friend of
both young men, said it wasn’t unusual
for harsh words and even punches to be
exchanged.
“They had arguments before,” Thavara-
jasoorier said. “But we all had arguments
with each other. We were all friends.”
Corner, 25, has pleaded not guilty to
second-degree murder in the death of
Niazi, his pal and partner in a marijuana-
selling enterprise, on Feb. 19, 2014. Niazi,
22, was shot nine times and died on the
floor of a garage at Corner’s family home
on Roosevelt Avenue.
Corner, who originally claimed Niazi
was shot by men who robbed the two of
marijuana, now admits he is responsible
for Niazi’s death. Jurors have heard that
Corner will testify he was defending him-
self from Niazi when he fired the fatal
shots.
Thavarajasoorier said that as he and
Niazi arrived at Corner’s house in the early
afternoon the day of the shooting, some-
one began throwing firecrackers out of a
window. Niazi confronted Corner, who
also appeared angry, the witness said.
The conflict appeared to ebb and the
friends spent time at the house talking and
smoking marijuana, Thavarajasoorier said.
He testified he left later that afternoon, and
later had brief phone contact with Niazi.
Then, around 4:30, he said he got a call
from Corner.
“He was telling me people came into the
house and something happened — Shabir
was dead,” Thavarajasoorier said.
Thavarajasoorier said he expressed dis-
belief — he immediately texted Niazi, but
got no response. He then drove by Corner’s
house and found police had converged on
the scene, he said.
Under cross-examination, Thavara-
jasoorier agreed he’d told police he was
aware of past conflicts involving Corner
and Niazi, including times when Niazi had
been aggressive and physical with Corner.
In one instance, Corner ended up with
black eyes but when he asked about it nei-
ther young man appeared concerned, Tha-
varajasoorier said.
“They pretty much told me they were
play-fighting and got carried away,” he
said.
The witness distanced himself some-
what from a comment he’d made to police
describing Niazi as “bipolar”, a man who
could be alternately kind or harsh.
“I ain’t a doctor,” Thavarajasoorier said.
“At times he was a nice guy, at times he was
a jerk. Friends fight.”
“He tried to act like a tough guy,” Tha-
varajasoorier said of Niazi. “But little
things — like a needle or some blood —
made him squeamish.”
The trial continues in Oshawa.

Ajax MP Holland
says funding will help
Durham residents get around
‘conveniently and quickly’
Keith Gilligan
KGilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The region is getting almost $988,000 from
the federal government to help buy four new buses.
The feds are chipping in 50 per cent of the cost of the
buses, while Durham will fund the remainder.
During an announcement on Tuesday morning in Ajax,
Mark Holland, MP for Ajax, said, “Durham Region is growing
every day. People have the ability to get around conveniently
and quickly. We’re happy to make this announcement.”
Joining him at the announcement, held at the northwest
corner of Salem and Kingston roads, were Granville Ander-
son, MPP for Durham Riding, and Ajax regional Coun. Shaun
Collier, who was representing regional chair Roger Ander-
son, who was previously booked.
Granville Anderson said, “I’m pleased the federal gov-
ernment is helping Durham with its transit needs. We can
improve transit for the entire community.”
Anderson said the four buses will provide “a safe and
comfortable commute.”
Since 2005, the province has provided $85 million in gas
tax funding to the region, he noted.
“You have my commitment that we will continue to
expand our transit service,” Anderson said. “Our province
continues to grow and it’s what we have to do.”
Once the four buses are on the road, “they will support
growth of the region’s transit system,” Anderson added.
Collier said having the funding from the Public Transit
Infrastructure Fund means “we’re not competing with other
municipalities for scarce funding dollars.”
Vince Patterson, the general manager for Durham Region
Transit, said the four buses are in addition to 24 vehicles the
system has ordered.
Some of the new buses will begin arriving in December of
this year, with the rest expected next year.
“It’s certainly very welcome for us. It will rejuvenate the
fleet,” he noted. “It will certainly help the whole region.”
Each buses carries a price tag of $450,000.
Durham getting $988Gs to help buy four buses

AJAX -- Mark Holland, MP for Ajax, boarded a Durham Region Transit bus following a funding announcement in
Ajax on Oct. 10. The federal government announced funding of almost $988,000 to Durham Region to help buy
four conventional buses. The four buses are in addition to the 24 buses the Region has already ordered.

Let’s be honest: cooking eggs can some-
times be confusing.
Whether you’re the person in front of
the stove or the person speaking to the
server, most of us just stick to the type
we know.
In honour of National Egg day, which
was Oct. 13, here are all the options you
need to amp up your egg game and make
your next breakfast egg-ceptional.
Soft Scrambled
On low heat, heat a tablespoon of butter
in a non-stick pan and wait until the but-
ter appears frothy. Crack your eggs in a
bowl, then season and whisk them (you
may choose to add milk or cream to this
mixture to make the eggs fluffier). Pour
the mixture into the pan and stir contin-
uously until the curds are soft and moist.
Hard Scrambled
On medium-high heat, heat a table-
spoon of butter in a non-stick pan and
wait until the butter appears frothy.
Then, crack your eggs into a bowl, sea-
son and stir them, using a spatula. Pour
your eggs into the pan and stir through-
out the cooking process to break them
up, but do not stir continuously. Contin-
ue to cook them until the eggs no longer
look watery.
Sunny Side Up
Heat butter in a pan on medium-low
heat until the butter appears frothy.
Crack your egg into a cup and season it.
Gently pour your egg into the pan. Cook
until the outside is white and the yolk
has set.
Over Easy
Crack your egg into a bowl and season
it. On low heat, heat up a tablespoon of
butter until frothy in a non-stick pan,
then gently pour your egg in. Cook it
until the outside is white and the yolk is
still runny. Then, carefully flip your egg
and cook for another 10 seconds.
Over Medium
Crack your egg into a bowl and season
it. On medium-low heat, heat up a table-
spoon of butter until frothy in a non-
stick pan, then carefully pour your egg
in. Cook it until the whites are complete-
ly set. Then, carefully flip your egg and
cook for another 30 seconds to a minute.
Over Hard
Follow the same instructions as Over
Medium, however, once you flip your
egg, cook it for one to two minutes.
Omelette
Crack two eggs in a bowl. Add one table-
spoon of water, salt and pepper, then
whisk. Butter a non-stick frying pan and
pour in your mixture. Push the edges of
your omelette toward the centre of the
pan. Move the pan around, tilting it so
that your mixture fills the space, forming
a circular shape. After two minutes, add
the ingredients you want in the centre of
your omelette. Then fold the omelette in
half and enjoy.
Baked
There are so many ways to bake your
eggs, but the simplest way may be in a
muffin tin. It’s as easy as this: preheat
your oven to 350 F and spray your muffin
tin with cooking spray. Crack your eggs
into the tin, season and bake for about
15 minutes.
Hard Boiled
Place your eggs in a pot of water on the
stove top. Keep the stove on high heat
until the water begins to boil. Then, turn
off the stove, put the lid on your pot and
let the eggs sit in the pot on a cool burn-
er for 15 minutes. Next, drain out the hot
water, fill the pot with cold water and
keep repeating that step as necessary
until the eggs cool. Then they are ready
to peel and eat.
Soft Boiled
Use the same process as hard boiled
egg, but rather than letting the pot sit for
15 minutes, let it sit for five to seven.
Poached
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a
simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl
or cup, then gently pour it into the water.
Poach the egg for three to five minutes
before gently removing it from the pan
with a slotted spoon. Note: Adding vine-
gar to the water helps shape the egg and
make it look less messy.
Steam Basted
Add two tablespoons of butter to a non-
stick pan and heat over medium-low.
Crack an egg into a cup or small bowl
and pour it into the butter. Let the egg fry
until the edges are white, then pour 1/4
cup of water around your egg and cover
the pan for about a minute. The longer
you leave it to cook in the steam, the
harder the consistency will be.

Mambo Italiano comes to Whitby
Courthouse Theatre
This November, make room on your calendar
to see Mambo Italiano at the Whitby Courthouse
Theatre.
Steve Galluccio’s play Mambo Italiano, has
been turned into a movie, and now it’s going to hit
the stage at Whitby Courthouse Theatre. Mambo
Italiano is a story about family, that follows two
men in their 30s, Angelo and Nino, that have a
relationship together, but both are still very much
in the closet. Both come from immigrant Italian,
Catholic families that have settled in Montreal.
Angelo eventually decides to come out to his
family, and while Nino was not ready to come out
yet, Angelo’s revelation ends up outing him too.
The play explores not only how the families work
through this revelation, but how Angelo and Nino’s
relationship suffers because of it. The play is a
drama, but there are some very funny moments that
are sure to have you laughing.
“I’mhopingthatwhenpeopleleavetheplaythey
are reminded that there is still a lot of secretiveness
out there, and that many people are still living in the
closet because they are afraid of the reaction they
may receive if they come out,” says Edward Niles,
director of the play. “Some plays have content that
can quickly become dated, but this one is timeless.
Issues that gay people faced 30 years ago are still
issues today in some families, cities and countries.”
This play is Edward’s first time as director. He
has been with the Whitby Courthouse Theatre for
years, and has acted, stage managed, musically
directed and more, and he’s very excited to be trying
his hand at directing.
In Mambo Italiano, you will see a mix of
familiar and fresh faces. Three of the cast members
are returning, and you may recognize them from
plays that have run within this past year, and four
of the actors are new to the Whitby Courthouse
Theatre stage.
Mambo Italiano will be presented on November
9 to 11, 16 to 18, and 23 to 25, 2017 at 8 p.m. There
will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on November 18.
Tickets are $27 and can be purchased at Lafontaine,
located at 100 Brock Street South, or online. This is
a show that is not to be missed!
Whitby Courthouse Theatre is located
at 416 Centre Street South in Whitby. For
more information, call 905-668-8111 or visit

FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE
FOCUS ON COMMUNITYWine 101 — Reintroduce yourself to wine
One of the main items humans enjoy is
the consumption of well-presented food
that smells sumptuous, tastes divine and
leaves a lasting impression.
Like any other food item, wine has to
please the senses. It has to look good,
smell good and taste good.
Whether red or white, wine should look
clear and brilliant when poured into a
glass. Neither one should be ‘soapy’ or
cloudy, which would indicate some bac-
terial infection.
After a brief swirl, one should bring the
glass to the nose and take a brief whiff.
The smell should be a clean; one of fruit,
flowers, spice or herbs. Never should
there be a hint of mustiness, urine or gas.
A sip slurped around the tongue should
present a balanced combination of
sweetness and acidity, with no real dom-
inance of either. The ‘mouth feel’ should
add to the pleasant sensation.
The sweetness of a dessert wine should
be balanced and integrated with enough
acidity that adds freshness to experi-
ence.
Swallowing the wine should confirm
that of the initial smell and leave a last-
ing impression on the sense that is called
a ‘finish.’ Usually the longer it lasts, the
better the quality. The above is a very
generalized but workable methodology
of wine appreciation.
Pairing wine with food opens the door
to a completely different series of tastes
depending on the food and any sauces.
Usually ‘power’ food requires equal-
ly powerful wine. Lighter food requires
lighter wine. One flavour should not
dominate the other.
While the red with red meat and white
with white meat philosophy still holds
some fanfare, it is the type and cut of
meat and especially the accompanying
sauce that determines the type of wine
used. The taster is the final judge.
I have enjoyed many a Pinot Noir or
Zwigelt with salmon, mackerel and pork,
while I have also enjoyed a traditional
method sparkling such as Spanish Cava
with a steak and cream sauce or even a
good Alsace Riesling with roast beef. It
depends what one is in the mood for.
The main purpose of a wine is to pro-
vide enjoyment to its taster.
Other than that, it is a question of
semantics.

Many people only know cranberries
as canned cranberry sauce and have no
idea that cranberries are at their best
when eaten or used in cooking dur-
ing the autumn, as a fresh fruit. These
tart fresh berries are excellent for mak-
ing homemade jellies, sauces and as
savoury ingredients in dishes from appe-
tizers, salads and soups to entrées and
desserts.
When it comes to seasonings, the cran-
berry is one of the most accommodat-
ing of fruits. It goes well with almost
every spice and sweetener. Also, lemons,
oranges, tangerines, candied ginger and
nuts such as almonds, pecans and wal-
nuts, as well as the seeds pumpkin and
sesame, all go well with cranberries.
This dish is a far cry from what is nor-
mally considered a salad or dessert. It’s
more a combination of the two. Ideal for
holidays, it will add to any festive table.
I like, however, to consider it more a
Halloween ‘treat’ for adults. No need
to go door-to-door begging for sweet
handouts when this dish is at hand. Like
all things at Halloween, colour is the
focus of goodies, and with this dish, the
colourful cranberries and green pump-
kin seeds make for an unforgettable
treat.

again: cranberries are much more versa-

FOCUS ON HEALTH
FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE
FOCUS ON COMMUNITY
For many of us, mornings are often a
blur of busyness, as we rush to get things
ready for ourselves and our families and
get out the door on time.
Naturally, we don’t always have time for
a picture-perfect breakfast. So, in honour
of World Egg Day on Oct. 13, here are five
egg hacks you may want to take a crack at.1) Cook your eggs in a bell pepper ring.
Cooking your eggs in a bell pepper ring
adds colour and Vitamin C to your break-
fast, while also keeping your eggs looking
neat and contained.
Here’s how to make them: Heat butter in
a non-stick pan on medium heat. Cut your
bell pepper into rings and place them
in the pan. Crack an egg into each ring.
Cook until the whites set and the bottom
holds together. Then flip and cook for two
minutes on the opposite side.
2) You don’t have to peel your hard
boiled egg, just shake it.
After boiling your eggs, place them in a
tupperware, add cold water, put the lid
on and shake. Once you open it back up,
your eggs will slide right out of the shells.
3) Poaching bags can give you the
prettiest breakfast without the hassle
and mess.
Poaching eggs takes some finesse, so
if you need a helping hand, there are
poaching bags you can purchase.
To poach eggs this way, crack your egg
into the bag and place it in simmer-
ing water. Once your egg is cooked on
the outside (after about 5 minutes), you
can remove it from the water and slide
it gently out of the bag for the perfectly
poached egg.
4) Use a water bottle to separate egg
whites and yolks.
The mouth of an empty water bottle is a
great tool for sucking up egg yolks in no
time. Just crack your eggs in a bowl and
put the mouth of the bottle over the yolk
to grab it, then drop the yolks into a sepa-
rate bowl.
5) Use steam bags to cook personal-
ized omelettes at the same time.
Add your eggs and all your ingredients
inside the individual bags and place them
in boiling water until cooked.
