Three black hearses. Three caskets. Hundreds of teenagers, friend and fami- ly all gathered to pay final respects to Krassimira Pej- cinovski, who was killed in her Ajax home along with her 15-year-old son, Roy, and her 13-year-old daugh- ter, Venallia, just 10 days ago. "I've never seen any- thing like this," said Niki Neofotis, who delivered the flowers for the caskets: white roses for the chil- dren, pink and red for their mom. Deep in the crowd of mourners, father and daughter, Vas and Victoria Pejcinovski, huddled close together as three women carried framed, happy por- traits of their lost family members. "What do you say to a fa- ther who has lost his whole family," said family friend Fillis Paraskevopoulos, as she walked out of the church, where she was joined by hundreds of com- munity members who had been banded together by the tragedy. Autopsy results re- leased by Durham police showed two of them had been stabbed, while the third died of asphyxiation. The man charged with sec- ond-degree murder in their deaths, Krassimira's ex- boyfriend Corey Fenn, is being held in an Oshawa jail. He appeared in court last week with a swollen eye and facial injuries - the re- sult of an altercation with police during his arrest. At Saturday's service, boys in suits wore their hockey jerseys in memory of their teammate and friend, Roy, who had been a member of the Don Mills Flyers bantam AAA team since he was 7 years old. The teens, wearing plain white gloves, carried their friend's casket into and from the church. Mark and 14-year-old Brandon Cohen, a father and son, stood outside the church for two hours to pay their respects. Roy was Brandon's rival on the ice, a teammate in some hockey tournaments, and a friend for the past six years; their fathers were friends, too. "We saw him the night before," said Mark Cohen. "We saw Roy walking out of the arena . great boy, great family, a great father." "We play each other in the arena, there may be fierceness, but off the ice, they're all buddies," said Cohen, standing close to his son, who still feels "very emotional" about the news. The Cohens will reach out to the Pejcinovskis "when the time is right," he said. Vas Pejcinovski ex- pressed gratitude Thurs- day for the public outpour- ing of love and support he and his daughter have re- ceived, but 10 days after the deaths the community still struggles to find the words to deal with what happened -there are only tears. Young girls gathered to- gether in groups on the church steps, audibly sob- bing at the loss of their friend Venallia, hugging each other close. One told the Star she spent almost every weekend with Venal- lia. They'd talk about "ev- erything," she said. "Grow- ing up together, what we'd do after graduation . ." Venallia loved sports, too, especially tack and field; her bedroom wall was full of first-place ribbons. As they walked out of the funeral service, Reese and Paige Dougall spoke about the time they spent with the two Pejcinovski children. Reese was in classes with Roy and Venallia, and would often walk home from school with her. "It's so insane how something that happens in the news can be so close to you," said Reese, 14. Their school has been "oddly calm" said Reese, but their school counsellor has advised them to stay off the internet - Facebook, he says, has become an "online memorial" with people us- ing the acronyms "LLK," "LLR," and "LLV" to post messages, meaning "long live" and then the first let- ter of each of their names. Reese's mother, Shan- non, is helping him get funding for purple wrist bands that say "long live the Pejcinovskis" as a way to raise funds for initiatives that tackle domestic vio- lence - a cause the family has asked the community to donate to. Said Shannon., "No kid should have to experience the loss of a friend." -Toronto Star CRIME Community gathers at funeral for victims of Ajax triple homicide FATIMA SYED fsyed@thestar.ca Hundreds of classmates, friends and relatives of Pejcinovski family gathered on Saturday to mourn the deaths of a mother and her two children in Ajax.

Chair Anderson was a tireless champion and advocate for Durham Region," the state- ment noted. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan posted a statement on his Facebook page on Saturday stating, "It is with profound sadness that I acknowledge the passing of Durham region- al chair Roger Anderson. "Early this morning Roger passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. He will be remem- bered by many as a true leader, a fierce competitor and the foremost champi- on of Durham Region," Ryan noted. "I will remem- ber him as a mentor and dear friend who had a huge heart. God bless you, Rog- er." Joe Dickson, a longtime colleague of Anderson on Ajax council, said, "Good- bye my friend, Roger An- derson! Over the past few months I would stop at Roger's home once or twice a week on the way home. He was either sleeping, or we would enjoy five or 10 minutes together. Roger loved his boys. The first re- al memory of them was when Roger and the young boys spent a weekend at our cottage! Roger was a great dad," Dickson added. From 1978 to 1988, An- derson was a constable with the Durham regional police. Dickson noted, "As a young police officer, a ded- icated Ajax councillor, and a great volunteer for years and past president of both the Ajax Kinsmen and our Ajax Home Week, he was a worker! To know Roger was to love him! Donna and I and our family knew him well! God bless you, Roger. Joe and Donna Dickson." Anderson served as chair of the Durham re- gional police services board. A statement from the board noted, "Mr. Ander- son's commitment to the safety of Durham Region was unsurpassed. He cared deeply about the Durham Regional Police Service and keenly recog- nized the importance of its mission and its members to the health and prosper- ity of the region." Anderson is being re- membered as "a formida- ble and respectful leader who inspired excellence in all those around him through his skilful com- munication, his funda- mental decency, and his re- lentless pursuit of fair- ness. Most importantly, Mr. Anderson took im- mense pride in the out- standing work performed by all of the women and men of the Durham Re- gional Police Service, each and every day," the state- ment added. Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell said, "Roger was a proud champion for Dur- ham Region. His strong ad- vocacy for infrastructure laid the foundation for the wonderful quality of life we enjoy now and the pros- perous future ahead. "Throughout his coura- geous battle with cancer, his dedication to and invol- vement in our town and re- gion never faltered. Our deepest condolences go to his family and loved ones," Mitchell added. A comment from the re- gion on Saturday noted, "A decisive leader who al- ways put the needs of our residents and community members first, Anderson spent countless hour- s championing the region's issues to the federal and provincial governments. In all of his years of public service, he never gave up. He was a strong advocate who served his communi- ty faithfully." Anderson announced in November 2016 that he had been diagnosed with stom- ach cancer. He underwent surgery in March 2017. Flags at all regional fa- cilities will be at half-mast in his memory. Anderson was Dur- ham's longest serving re- gional chair, starting in the role in 1997. He was also the first person to be directly elected to the role in 2014. A book of condolences will be available at Region- al Municipality of Durham Headquarters, located at 605 Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby. Visitation is on Wednes- day, March 28 from 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax. The funeral is Thurs- day, March 29 starting at 11 a.m. at the Westney Road Baptist Church, 1201 Ra- venscroft Rd., Ajax. In lieu of flowers, me- morial donations can be made to the Roger Ander- son Fund at the Ajax-Pick- ering Hospital Founda- tion.

Pickering Fire Services received the call at 12:49 p.m on March 23 when a passer- by called saw smoke and called it in. Five trucks at- tended the scene. "There was some smoke showing from the roof line area when they arrived," said Pickering deputy fire chief Steve Boyd. "They made entry through the front door." The entire front en- trance way had already been burned out. "This fire had been go- ing for quite a while," said Boyd. Firefighters located an elderly woman in the kitch- en area. "Unfortunately when they brought her out she was deceased," said Boyd. Paramedics made the determination, and she was not transported to hos- pital. "We are just awaiting the coroner right now," Boyd said at around 2:40 p.m. No other occupants were in the home. The Office of the Fire Marshal has been called in to investigate, the protocol after a fatality. This was the second fa- tal fire in Pickering this week. Boyd took the oppor- tunity to remind people of the importance of working smoke alarms. "I don't know what the case was but we'll have an official determination on that as well at some point." he said.

Durham College student Thomas Ar- menis, a flight sergeant with the 856 Pick- ering Kinsmen Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, recently collected two medals at the Ontario Winter Games in Orillia, a civilian competition that four members of the Pickering squadron qualified to at- tend. Thomas, 18, and his team had won a gold medal at the Cadet Marksmanship Zone Competition in Oshawa in February. Thomas also won gold for being the top shot. "I came first overall," he explained. Thomas's brother, Phill, is the team's assistant coach. At the Ontario Winter Games in early March, Thomas and his team, made up other individuals outside of his squadron, won the silver medal. His fellow squadron members Meghan DeCock and Rohan Jad- hav were on the team that won a bronze team medal. Shakeb Tyabji also represented the squadron at the games. Thomas also won a bronze in the men's individual competition. "I shot my personal best," he said. Thomas received a score of 531.2 out of 600. "If you get in the mental zone, you block everything out," he said of how he focuses. Thomas and the others from his squad- ron did well even while shooting the cadet rifles valued at around $250. Their compet- itors were shooting rifles valued at thou- sands of dollars, said Thomas. Thomas was dealing with the recent death of his father in these most recent competitions. "We were like really close," he said. "He always helped me with shooting and stuff." But he persisted, and received his med- als on his father's behalf. "Until I die it will be for him," Thomas said. After his wins, he hung his medals on his father's desk. In April, Thomas and the 856 rifle team are heading to the Regional Marksman- ship Championship in Trenton, a provin- cial championship for cadets. "If we win that hopefully we go to (the national championships) in B.C.," he said. Thomas was also the recipient of a 2016 Pickering Civic Award in the category of amateur sports.

The annual event hosted by both the Pickering and Ajax Rotary clubs takes place at Esplanade Park. This will be the 11th year the event has taken place in Pickering. The dates were included in correspondence to the City of Pickering stating spe- cifically that the Rotary clubs plan to host a pet-free event, noting health and safety for all are the main concerns for making the re- quest. Both Rotary clubs asked council to endorse Ribfest as a pet-free annual event, which council endorsed at its Feb. 26 meeting. The event has been pet- free in previous years.

PICKERING - Pickering is looking at beefing up road safety near local schools. Council passed a motion by Ward 1 city Coun. Maurice Brenner on March 12, that staff review the community safety zones policy. The motion stemmed from Bill 65, the Safer School Zones Act, passed by Ontario last spring. It aims to help municipalities target unsafe drivers and protect pedestri- ans and cyclists. The act will allow municipalities to en- force speeding by using tools such as red light cameras and reducing speed limits in specific areas. "The motion if passed is specifically geared toward our local roads," said Bren- ner. The new act has received royal assent, but hasn't been implemented yet. Although Coun. Brenner's motion in- cluded staff coming up with a work plan based on Bill 65, Mayor Dave Ryan suggest- ed since it hasn't yet been implemented, staff review Pickering's existing policy, and beware of the progress on the act going forward. Brenner and the rest of council agreed. "We have to do something to ensure that people are more responsible driving through their neighbourhoods," said Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean.

You may remember it. It was released just before their groundbreaking, if contro- versial, offerings; Too Much Swinging and Too Many Martinis. It's a good book and weirdly prophetic, consid- ering it was written three- and-a-half decades ago. At the time, the authors were admonishing parents that too much time in front of the boob tube was not great for children. All well and good. But flash forward 35 years and the message now is that there is just simply too damned much televi- sion programming, peri- od. It's interminable. Does this scenario ring a bell? You and your spouse/part- ner have just finished bin- geing a series and are now in that post-tele-coital de- pression where you have nothing new to watch. You've tried talking to one another but it's obvious to both of you that you're sim- ply too far down the rabbit hole of screentime to pre- tend that some form of re- al, human interaction is still possible. There's just not enough drama. Your lives are so normal, so . well . small. And so, you wade into the morass of streamed television in search of a new darling. Af- ter five or 10 minutes of fruitless surfing one of you tosses the remote to the other. "Here . you pick". "Me? No. There's too much. It's overwhelming. I can't choose!" The remote is hurled back and forth until finally coming to rest on the coffee table. The television is turned off. Silence. Then, after a moment, someone makes a pot of tea. Books or magazines are picked up. Long dead neurons be- gin to fire. Parts of the brain, badly atrophied, be- gin to flicker and light up. Your partner says some- thing intelligent. You laugh and respond in kind. A connection is re-formed. You realize that you've been had. The TV has lied to you. Your lives are defi- nitely not small. They are rich and more importantly real. You acknowledge that there has indeed been too much TV and that you will, henceforward, stay con- nected to one another in the real world . that is, of course, until you find a re- ally good new series. –Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column Tune out, turn off the TV and reconnect with people Columnist Neil Crone says real life is so much better without the boob tube on NEIL CRONE Column A lot of vaccination misinformation out there says doctor To the editor: Re: 'Keep our students healthy and happy in their classrooms', editorial, Feb. 14 When did it become ac- ceptable to publicly scruti- nize responsible parents for the private health care decisions they make for their families? Families struggling with decisions regarding vaccination and health care have typically meticu- lously weighed the inher- ent risks against the poten- tial benefits for their par- ticular circumstances. In my experience, these par- ents do not arrive at these decisions lightly and are generally more informed and educated on the topic than the average vaccine/ health care consumer. If their children are not on the standard "vaccine schedule," it's not because they "forgot" to get them vaccinated and need a re- minder. The Immunization of School Pupils Act requires that schools be provided with each student's vacci- nation status. This act has consistently been mischar- acterized to imply that chil- dren are required to be vac- cinated in order to attend school. I appreciate your editorial piece that did cor- rectly identify that it is the "record" that has to be up- to-date (which the parents may have "forgotten" to do), not the vaccines, but I feel this warrants repeat- ing given the overwhelm- ing barrage of misinforma- tion to the contrary. A parent shared with me a notice sent home with their kindergarten child that unequivocally stated that the child was required to be vaccinated or would be suspended. This was so clearly a case of coercion through misinformation that it distressed both me and the parents involved. It is unconscionable that a parent be made to feel pres- sure to consider public pol- icy and perceived benefits to others ahead of the health, life and welfare of their own child. In a society that has fought to protect self-determination regard- ing our bodies, I find it dis- turbing that those in posi- tions of trust and influence use misinformation and co- ercion to pressure, bully and shame parents and young students into un- questioningly submitting to procedures that have in- herent risks and that they may not otherwise consent to. The elder Trudeau, once stated that "There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation."

Corner, 26, bears a high amount of moral culpability for the murder of Shabir Niazi, who was gunned down in a cluttered garage behind Corner's Ajax home in February of 2014, Supe- rior Court Justice Michael McKelvey said in his reasons for sentencing. "This was a crime of extreme violence," the judge said. "The number of bullet wounds and the fact that there were three gunshot wounds to the head clearly demonstrate Mr. Cor- ner's intention to kill Mr. Niazi." Niazi, 22, died after being shot at least eight times on Feb. 19, 2014, a day he had spent hanging out at the Roosevelt Avenue home of Corner, his longtime pal and partner in a marijuana sell- ing enterprise. Immediately af- ter the shooting Corner hid the murder weapon, a Glock pistol, in a nearby park and took other steps to cover up his involve- ment before calling 911. Corner initially told Durham police he and Niazi had been sit- ting in the garage when three men burst in, repeatedly shot Niazi, and then took off with their pot. In the days following the killing he took steps to bol- ster the phoney narrative, in- cluding repeating it to Niazi's grieving family and placing an anonymous call to Crime Stop- pers. By the time his trial began last fall, Corner had changed his story. He admitted he had shot his friend, but said he did so af- ter Niazi, enraged that Corner did not have his share of the money to pay their marijuana supplier, attacked him with a baseball bat. Jurors convicted Corner of second-degree murder, but their verdict did not indicate whether they rejected Corner's self-de- fence claims outright, or that they believed there was a strug- gle and he reacted with exces- sive force toward Niazi. In pre- sentencing submissions prose- cutor Lara Crawford argued the evidence did not support Cor- ner's story, a view adopted by the judge. "The Crown has established beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no assault by Mr. Nia- zi," McKelvey said. "We are left with nothing but speculation as to what might have been the trig- ger for this deadly shooting." Corner has a prior criminal record that includes at least one offence involving violence. The judge noted that while the kill- ing of Niazi was egregious and Corner's post-offence conduct is an aggravating factor, there are indications Corner, a relatively youthful offender, presents some hope for rehabilitation. In addition to the life sen- tence, Corner is prohibited for life from possessing weapons. He'll be eligible to apply for pa- role after serving 14 years; his sentence is considered to have begun on the day of his arrest in early March 2014. Corner has been incarcerated at the Central East Corrections Centre in Lind- say since that time.

EASTER HOLIDAY CLOSURE Regional waste management facilities will be CLOSED Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31. Regular operations will resume Tuesday, April 3, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. AJAX - Ontario's new Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford talked about cutting red tape for business as he revved up supporters at a campaign office opening in Ajax on Saturday. "There's no reason why we can't have the manufac- turing jobs back," Ford told a cheering crowd at the of- fice opening for Rod Phil- lips, the PC candidate in the redrawn riding of Ajax. Ford said 333,000 manu- facturing jobs have left On- tario, and that as premier, he could attract invest- ment by cutting red tape. "When I talk to owners of companies, no matter if it's small or large, the num- ber one issue is all the bu- reaucracy and red tape and regulation that they have to face," he said, adding that businesses "have to make sure that we don't have a carbon tax, they have to make sure that we're competitive when it comes to hydro rates." Phillips, who is former chairman of Postmedia and former president and CEO of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, is looking to unseat cur- rent Ajax-Pickering Liber- al MPP Joe Dickson, who has held the seat since 2007. "People are ready for a change from Kathleen Wynne and Joe Dickson," he says. "Hydro rates are too high, taxes are too high.the cost of living in Ajax is too high. Phillips has been part of the PC party for 30 years, and says he is impressed with how quickly the party came together after Ford's win. "It's the fastest I've ever seen the team come back together." he says adding that former leader Patrick Brown's resignation amidst sexual misconduct allegations could have been "very destructive for the party, but ended up be- ing very unifying." Ajax resident Jim Hon- char stopped by the rally primarily to see Ford, who he describes as "a force to be reckoned with." The local retiree is a longtime PC supporter and says he feels optimistic about his party's chances in Ajax for the first time in years. "I think there's more hope now that (Ford) is the leader. He's someone who can get things done," Hon- char said, adding that hy- dro rates and health care are the election issues most important to him. Also on hand at the Ajax event March 24, were two of the three candidates Ford beat in the party leader- ship race, Caroline Mulro- ney and Christine Elliott. Elliott, a former Whit- by-Oshawa MPP, says she is planning to run in the provincial election but hasn't determined which riding yet - although she confirmed it won't be in Durham. After the Ajax office opening, Ford headed to Oshawa for a rally at the Canadian Army Corps As- sociation. The Ontario provincial election is June 7.

But giving your home a refresh can also boost your prop- erty value. Here are some ideas to consider for your next improve- ment project, big or small. Layer the lighting. The secret to making a room look like it came straight out of a magazine is layered lighting. Set the tone with ambient lighting at every height. Try experimenting with wall-mounted sconces, pendants, chandeliers or foot lamps for a brighter space and increased functionality. Customize your window treatments. Made-to-order window coverings are like a well- tailored blazer — they instantly add timeless luxury and professional sophistication. Opt for a classic look with clean lines that’s always in style, like Vignette modern roman shades from Hunter Douglas. Unlike other roman shades, they can open from the top, from the bottom, or somewhere in-between for the perfect balance of privacy and light. Choose from an array of luxurious textures and colours to transform your windows. Stage like a pro. Even if you’re the only one who will be seeing your home this week- end, style the place like a designer would for an open house. Start with your co ee table — combine one large statement piece like a vase or bowl and stack art books or candles for fashionable air. Other meaningful touches are fresh orchids, plumping the pillows and draping a throw across the couch. Modernize your kitchen. Few renovation projects o er a better return on your invest- ment than a kitchen upgrade. This key room is the heart of the home and is often the rst place guests look. Even small updates can make a big di erence. Try swapping out a dated sink or an ancient microwave for a new energy-e cient model, or painting the cabinets and replacing knobs and handles with a stylish metal like brass. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , M a r c h 2 8 , 2 0 1 8 | 12 For more information about WEEMAX Children’s Charities and how you can help, please contact your RE/MAX Jazz sales representative at 905-728-1600 or at remaxjazz.com a RE/MaX Jazz REal EstatE pRofEssional, you aRE contRibuting to this Most woRthy causE!

They also need to freeze well for when you want to get ahead of the game and pre-prepare your meals for the future and/or have an abundance of left- overs. They also should appease every- one’s appetite, and let me tell you, my wife and 21 month old devoured these. Big batch cooking is the key to success in the kitchen for any family, especially when the number of kids outweighs the number of adults. When you cook healthy, whole- some meals in large quantities, you not only fill the tummy’s of all your little ones with goodness, but it leaves you with all the extra one-on-one (or one-on-two or three) time that makes having a big family so spe- cial. Lentil & Vegetable Shepherd’s Pie This is a new take on an old classic that is perfect for large families with picky eat- ers and/or lots of dietary restrictions. This day an age, having multiple food allergies per household is not uncommon and this recipe is gluten free, nut free, dairy free, soy free, vegetarian and vegan (if you remove the Worcestershire sauce). That’s one of the key ingredients however that help make this meatless classic such a crowd pleaser and taste, well, meaty. The red wine helps with that too, something that you might always want to have on hand (for other rea- sons) if you have a large family. This reci- pe is perfect for stocking up the freezer for rainy, hectic days, where you need to have a stress free and healthy meal on the table for all of your picky, picky loved ones. Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 90 minutes Serves: 10-12 Ingredients: - ½ large onion - 2 medium carrots - ½ head of celery - 2 tbsp tomato paste - 2 cloves of garlic - ½ cup red wine - 1 tsp mustard powder - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce - 4 cups vegetable broth - 300 g dry green lentils - ½ cup dried mushrooms - 1 tbsp fresh or dried thyme - 1 cup frozen peas - 1 cup frozen corn - 1 large sweet potato (1 lb) - 2 tbsp parmesan cheese - oil, salt and pepper as needed Method: 1. Begin by dicing the carrots, onions and celery into a small dice, about the size of a kernel of corn. Heat a little bit of oil in a large pot over medium heat and begin sweating the vegetables until the onions are translucent. 2. Add tomato paste and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Deglaze the pan when it starts to stick with the red wine and reduce by half. Add mustard powder and Worces- tershire sauce. 3. Add vegetable broth, mushrooms and lentils and bring to a boil. Season lightly and reduce to a light simmer. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes until lentils are soft. There should be very little liquid left, but still moist. Add peas, corn and thyme and remove from heat. 4. Place into a casserole dish and begin grating the sweet potato on the coarse side of a cheese grater. Place in a mixing bowl with a little bit of oil, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Top lentil mixture with sweet potato. 5. At this point you can freeze them for later, or place in a 350 degree oven for approx. 45 minutes until potatoes are dark brown and crispy. Tip: Grating the potato is a time saver. You can easily substitute any kind of potato or vegetable mash on top instead.

See INDIAN page 14 FOCUS ON FAMILY FOCUS ON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE FOCUS ON COMMUNITY These wines will brighten your Easter dining Plenty of wine options for Easter, says columnist Chuck Byers Easter is that time of year that beckons the coming warmth of spring and the bright sun- shine of summer. Our anticipation for the long pleasant days to come can be somewhat appeased by that special Easter celebration. Try these suggestion to further enhance the occasion. The red Muga Reserva (Vintages No. 177345, $22.95) from the Rioja region of Spain is a blend of 70 per cent Tempranillo, 20 per cent Garnacha, five per cent Mazuelo and five per cent Graciano grapes. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak, thus giving it a medium to full body with flavours of vanilla, cedar, blackberry, cher- ry and baked spiced. A classic food match would be a rack of lamb. Traditional Easter ham can be a nice pair- ing to either a red or white wine, such as a red Pinot Noir or a white Sauvignon Blanc. Niagara’s red Flat Rock Cellars Pinot Noir (Vintages No. 1545, $20.95) with medi- um body and flavours of cherry, raspberry, smoked meat, earth and spice can certain- ly accompany the ham. It would be equally great with osso buco or grilled salmon. New Zealand’s Saint Clair Family Estate’s Sauvignon Blanc (LCBO No. 237255, $17.95) with its crisp passion fruit, lemon and grape- fruit flavours is a very attractive white wine with a bouquet that is almost endless. Great with the ham alone, but add a side dish of parsnips for a super treat. Gamay Noir is a red grape variety that has had an increase in popularity in Ontario pri- marily because it grows so well and pairs well with a diverse group of foods. Roast chicken and roast turkey certainly are a receptive to Gamay, which does very well in Prince Edward County. However, those who like duck a l’orange or rabbit or beef stew will enjoy it also. The Grange of Prince Edward County Gamay (LCBO No. 615062, $17.35) which is light to medium in body with rich red fruit flavours and vibrant acidity would be ideal with traditional roast dishes. Another Gamay, if you can get it, is the Casa Dea Gamay 2010 (Vintages No. 347377, $11.75) which is a terrific fruit forward wine with cherry and strawberry, pepper flavours that would be a super match. Vermentino is a white grape variety still somewhat unknown to consumers but the expanse of flavours of apple, pear, peach, dried herbs, citrus and a touch of minerality can be a great match for seafood dishes and grilled vegetables. Mulleri Soffio Vermentino di Sardegna 2016 (Vintages No. 540732, $16.95), made from 100 per cent Vermentino, would be an interesting pairing with the above meal. The choices are many but whichever you choose, have a safe and very happy Easter. — Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada. Chuck Byers Guest columnist Indian Butter Chicken One of my all time favourites in terms of flavour, ease and freeze- ability. This traditional Indian staple offers a rich, creamy tomato sauce that the kids will find comforting, with enough spice and sophistica- tion to keep the parents happy. It’s worth noting that this dish is also glu- ten free, nut free and soy free if any- one in your family should have a food allergy. It’s a very versatile recipe whereby you can freeze just the chick- en and sauce as a unit and put on a pot of rice when you’re reheating it, or freeze it in meals with cooked rice and blanched vegetables to pop the whole thing in the oven come supper- time. Either way you cook it you end up with a very tasty meal that’s fit to feed a large family very easily. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 75 minutes Serves: 10-12 Ingredients: Marinade: - 3 lb boneless skinless chicken (thighs and/or breasts) - 1 cup yogurt - 1 tbsp ginger, finely minced - 1 tbsp garlic, finely minced - 1 tbsp lemon juice - 1 tsp paprika - ¼ cup garam masala Sauce: - ¼ cup unsalted butter - 1 large onion, finely diced - 1 tbsp ginger, finely minced - 1 tbsp garlic, finely minced - 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes - 2 tsp ground coriander - 2 tsp ground cumin - 2 tsp garam masala - 2 tsp chili powder - 1 ½ cups whipping cream - salt and pepper to taste Method: 1. Begin by cutting the chicken into large dice (about ¾ inch pieces) and place in a large bowl. Add all other ingredients, mix well, wrap and place in the fridge overnight. 2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium low heat. Add onions and cook until soft but with no colour. Add ginger, garlic and spices and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add in tomatoes and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce to a very light simmer and cook, stir- ring occasionally for about 20-30 minutes. 3. Add chicken to sauce and stir to coat. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for another 30-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through but not quite falling apart. 4. Serve hot with plenty of rice, veg- etables and naan bread or freeze to your liking. Tip: I serve my Butter Chicken with brown rice for added flavour and health benefits. Tip: Reheating from frozen equa- tion: Food in cold oven + turn on heat + follow recipe timing + 25 minutes = Ready! — Chef Matthew Ness has been cooking in some of the best restaurants in the GTA for the past 12 years.

Such was the conclusion of a Star tasting panel of ice cream lovers in which two new “guilt-free” product lines were put to the spoon against Canadian favourites. Halo Top from the United States and Canada’s CoolWay have just launched low-calorie ice creams in GTA super- markets. They claim to have the same taste as regular ice cream but with less sugar and more protein. Both companies use stevia and erythritol as sweeteners; CoolWay uses potato starch as a thickener. Halo Top from California promotes itself as healthy ice cream; the pack- aging not-so-subtly encourages you to “eat the whole pint.” Montreal’s CoolWay positions itself similarly. It began as a post-workout protein supplement on season 10 of Dragon’s Den as Cool Whey before being reformulated and renamed. We convened a five-member panel to compare Halo Top and Cool- Way against three premium brands: Kawartha Dairy, Chapman’s and Haa- gen Dazs, all of which use Canadian milk. Mint chocolate chip was the most common flavour, followed by salted caramel. In a blind tasting, the Star panel unanimously ranked skim milk-based Halo Top at the bottom. “Weirdly salty,” said one tester of the mint chip. “The texture is off,” said another. “Bad all around,” confirmed a third. This was also the case with Halo Top’s salted caramel, which many said tasted “like spoiled milk.” Mint chip winner Kawartha Dairy “just hits your happiness button,” said one tester. In second place was Cool- Way which, while “kinda watery,” was found to have a more defined minty flavour and pleasing chocolate chips. When it came to salted caramel, CoolWay beat out Chapman’s Cara- mel Saucy Spots, three to two. Those testers who ranked it first appreciated the subtle caramel flavour in the ice cream itself versus Chapman’s abun- dance of injected caramel. (The salt element was hard to detect in either.) Would any tester take up Halo Top’s invitation to eat the whole pint? “Nope.” “Not happening.” By the numbers For 125 mL of Mint Chip: CoolWay: 80 calories, 2.5 grams fat, 7 grams sugar, 6 grams protein Halo Top: 90 calories, 3 grams fat, 7 grams sugar, 5 grams protein Kawartha Dairy: 170 calories, 11 grams fat, 14 grams sugar, 2 grams protein Haagen Dazs: 300 calories, 20 grams fat, 23 grams sugar, 3 grams protein Four of the products in the ice- cream taste test at the Star test kitch- en.

He was 65. Roger will be missed by his loving family Ryan, Warren, Riley, Sarah, Ian, and Rhonda and by his sister Trudy and aunt Lorna. He will also be missed by his many friends. Roger served his community in many ways during his life. From 1978-1988, Roger served his community as a constable on the Durham Regional Police Services, and would later serve as the Chair of the Durham Regional Police Services Board. Roger's political career began when he was elected as a Councillor in Ajax, in 1985. From 1991 to 1997, he served as Regional Councillor and Deputy Mayor for the Town of Ajax. In 2014, Roger became the first elected Chairman of Durham Region. He was also the longest serving Chair, having held that office since he was first appointed, in 1997. He also received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and has spearheaded many events, such as the Roger Anderson Charity Classic, which have helped to give back to numerous causes around Durham. Visitation will take place at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax, 905-428-8488, on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, from 2-5 and 7-9 p.m. The funeral service will be held at Westney Heights Baptist Church, 1201 Ravenscroft Ave, Ajax, on Thursday, March 29, 2018 at 11:00 am. The family appreciates all of the expressions of support and condolences and asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Roger Anderson Fund at the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation. Online condolences may be placed at www.mceachniefuneral.ca SCOTCHBURN, Marlene (Meagher) - With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Marlene Scotchburn. Beloved wife of Conrad. Cherished mother of Greg (Andrea), Stephanie (Todd) and Doug (Jody). Loving grandmother of Katie, Matthew, Megan, Conrad, Allie, Sophie and Brandon.

Sale Managed and Sold by: NEIL BACON AUCTIONS LTD. 905-985-1068 SPELLEN, Gloria Mabel ~ It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our Mom, Gloria Mabel Spellen, (née Pettit) on the first full day of spring, Wednesday, March 21, 2018 in her 92nd year. Mom was predeceased in 2004 by our Dad, John (Jack) Spellen, her loving husband of 54 years, by her parents, Joseph and Mabel Pettit and her eight brothers and sisters. Loved forever by her seven children, Maureen and Glenn McKellar, Elizabeth Spellen and Brian Birtwistle, Greg Spellen, Janice and Wendell Naylor, Rosemary Stochel, Jo-Anne and Mark Renfer, Donna and Ed Warlow, Jean Stochel and her adoring grandchildren, Sarah (David), Cole (Casey), Kaileah (Jason), Drew (Sarah), Lana (Justin, Lily), Nicole (Adam), Evan (Sara), Michael, Aidan and Madeleine and step-grandchildren Matthew (Nicole and Shelby) and Travis (Jaclyn). Her two great grandchildren, Elizabeth and Evelyn, were always a source of joy for their "Great Grandma Owl." Mom was an avid gardener at her former homes in Ajax, Cannington, the "Owl's Nest " family cottage at Hickory Beach and most recently at Adelaide Place in Lindsay. She was a past president and lifetime member of the Cannington Horticultural Society where she received numerous prizes for her floral arrangements. This led her to become an OHA certified judge, a role in which she remained active until her 91st year. A passionate sports fan, Mom cheered for the Green Bay Packers, Toronto Maple Leafs but most importantly, her Toronto Blue Jays. As an "angel in the outfield" on opening day she will no doubt be decked out in all her Jays gear, cheering for her team from above. After leaving Cannington, Mom embraced life at her new home, Adelaide Place. She loved the live music and activities but most of all her new friends. Some of our favourite memories of Mom include her butter tarts, seven-minute frosting, chocolate chip cookies, brown sugar fudge and Christmas cake, decorating for every occasion, dancing, making a snowman, and sitting by the lilacs at the cottage enjoying a beer or sherry. Mom embraced life to the fullest with a feisty spirit, a sharp mind and, most of all, a deep love for her family. Although she never had a driver's license, Mom was the poster girl for Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere," never missing a travel opportunity if a car door was open! Our special thanks to Dr. Clements, Dr. Moores and Dr. Unligil, the nursing staff, and the wonderful volunteers in Palliative Care at Ross Memorial Hospital for their care, concern and support of Mom. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Palliative Care Unit at Ross Memorial Hospital would be appreciated and may be arranged through the STODDART FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE, 24 Mill Street, Lindsay K9V 2L1 (705-324-3205). Online condolences may be directed to www.stoddartfuneralhome.com. A Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 1:30pm at ADELAIDE PLACE, 84 Adelaide St. S., Lindsay.
