Cory Fenn did not enter a plea as the hearing began Feb. 11 at the Oshawa courthouse. Fenn, 30, was arrested after Krassimira Pejcinovski, 39, and her 15- year-old son Roy Pejcinov- ski, were found dead by po- lice responding to a 911 call at their Hilling Drive home on the morning of March 14, 2018. Pejcinovski's 13- year-old daughter, Venal- lia - who was found in the home with serious injuries -died later that night in a Toronto hospital. The victims died by stabbing and asphyxia- tion, police said at the time. Fenn, who is alleged to have fled the scene, was ar- rested in Oshawa later in the day by Durham police. During the preliminary hearing before Ontario Court Justice Peter West the Crown will present evi- dence from both civilian and police witnesses. It is expected Fenn will eventu- ally face a trial before a judge and jury in Superior Court. A publication ban pro- hibits reporting of evi- dence presented during the preliminary hearing. The Crown's case is be- ing presented by prosecu- tors Dave Slessor and Mike Newell. Fenn is re- presented by defence law- yer Mary Cremer. The hearing is scheduled for two weeks.

Two Oshawa residents have now been charged and the Children's Aid So- ciety has been notified, Durham police said. Members of the gun and gang unit assisted the domestic violence unit as they tracked a suspect who was wanted for a do- mestic incident and who was also believed to be armed, police said. Offi- cers arrested the man and a female driver during a traffic stop around 10 p.m. Feb 5 on Durham Street in Ajax. There was a one-year- old child in the car at the time of the stop, police said. During a search of the vehicle officers seized a loaded 9 mm handgun, a restricted weapon, along with a full magazine, am- munition and an estimat- ed $5,000 worth of cocaine. A 23-year-old Oshawa man faces firearm, drug and domestic assault charges. An Oshawa wom- an, 36, is charged with drug and weapons offenc- es. Their identities were not released by police.

An infant was in the vehicle at the time, police said. DRPS photo DURHAM - Two men are facing a raft of charges after they were found in posses- sion of three restaurant deb- it machines. Durham Regional Police were called to a restaurant off Salem and Kingston Road in the late evening of Sunday, Feb. 3. Two men - who wit- nesses said had just stolen a wireless PIN pad terminal at a restaurant - were seen at another nearby restaurant. Officers went to the second restaurant and arrested the two men, police report. Three restaurant debit machines were found in a backpack. Also, one man had an un- authorized credit card and multiple gift cards. One of the debit machines came from a restaurant in Scarborough. Evidence suggests the PIN pad devices were going to be used to complete fraud- ulent returns on credit and debit cards. George Quisido, 40, of Av- enue Road in Toronto, was charged with fraud under $5,000, three counts of theft under $5,000, four counts of possession of property ob- tained by crime under $5,000, unauthorized possession of a credit card and conspiracy to commit an indictable of- fence. Kamlesh Dookie, 36, of Rosehill Boulevard in Osha- wa is charged with fraud un- der $5,000, three counts of theft under $5,000, three counts of possession of prop- erty obtained by crime un- der $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable of- fence and failing to comply with probation. Both accused were re- leased on a promise to ap- pear with undertaking con- ditions.

"I was so shocked," says Lillian, 82. "We were told it was because we're a cute couple. It makes me feel like I want to help somebody, I was so stunned. It was a lady and her daughter, and I never thought to ask her name. What a beautiful ges- ture. If I had her name, I'd like to thank her again." The unexpected gift es- pecially touched Lillian be- cause she was feeling a lit- tle under the weather that evening. "This lady and her daughter did wonders for me. She needs to be thanked again." The Cadorets are known as happy, positive customers at Jack Astor's, says assistant general manager Mark Duffield, who witnessed the thoughtful exchange. "They're a sweet old cou- ple, I love them," he says. "They're really fantastic people. That was amazing, and very cool to see how touched she was by a ran- dom act of kindness." Duffield says he didn't recognize the women who paid for the couple's dinner. "They said they looked like a cute couple. They're always smiling and happy. It was cool to see. Everyone was talking about it. Every- one loves this couple; they come in every Friday." Jason Liebregts / Met- roland Every Friday night, Lil- lian and Malcolm Cadoret head to Jack Astor's res- taurant in the Pickering Town Centre to enjoy din- ner together. Recently, an- other diner picked up the tab for the the 'cute couple.' The Cadorets make the five-minute drive to Jack Astor's from their Bayly Street home. "They make a good steak," says Lillian, in ex- plaining why the restau- rant has become a regular outing. "I'm very fussy about my steak. They know me in the kitchen and they know I'm fussy." The kindness shown is something Lillian likes to pay forward. "If anybody is 50 cents short or a dollar short on the bus, I always give it to them." Duffield says the hand- written note from the serv- er may become a cherished memento of the occasion. "She told me she was going to keep that note forever." COMMUNITY PICKERING COUPLE PAYS KINDNESS FORWARD Continued from page 1 DURHAM - After a 20- year run, the Safe Commu- nities of Pickering-Ajax has come to an end. The registered not-for- profit organization began in May 1997, offering safety programs to all members of the community. Its final act was to part- ner with the Durham Dis- trict School Board and dis- tribute 14 automated exter- nal defibrillators (AED) around Durham Region. One of the founders, Jim McKinnon, said, "When we started the program, there was a need for a lot of the programs we ran, for both youth and seniors." After SCOPA was found- ed, "Ajax and Pickering started to develop programs along with us. It got to the point, they didn't require our programming. They were running their own," McKinnon said. The work the group did was rewarding, he added. "Through the process, we had a lot of contact with people. We had a lot of part- ners," he said. Over the years, the group was recognized for its work in the communities. In 2009 alone, it received the Am- bassador for Safety Com- munity and the Community Safety Award, both from Ajax. In the same year, SCO- PA board treasurer Rich Richmond was awarded the ambassador for Safety Part- ner, Volunteer Partner Award. The group had a saying on its brochure that stated its goal was dedicated to making Pickering/Ajax one of the safest communities to live, learn, work and play. Programs included fall prevention aid for seniors and an antismoking show for teens. The idea for the group came from a similar organi- zation in Peterborough. The father of a boy who was killed in an accident began the program and SCOPA "grew from there." While the organization has closed, McKinnon will continue to give health and safety talks to co-op stu- dents in high schools. He gave four such talks last week across Durham Re- gion. "It's really to tell the stu- dents what their rights and responsibilities are when it comes to work," McKinnon said. He also noted the group was quite a success. "Yes, we did become quite successful," he said. Now that's it's ended, he admits to missing it. "It was. With all the work we did, the camaraderie with all the committee members," McKinnon noted. The group did some fundraising, but most of its funding came from dona- tions. "I'm looking for another charity to be involved in," he said. At a SCOPA meeting last year, the group discussed wrap-up plans, said Gary Gibson, manager of health and safety for the DDSB and longtime member of SCOPA. "The main wrap-up idea was making sure that what we had left in the bank would do good things in the community," Gibson said. SCOPA had approxi- mately $20,000 to put toward a community initiative, so the team decided to pur- chase as many AEDs as they could. "We partnered with Phil- ips Canada, who gave us an awesome deal on the AEDs," McKinnon said. Locations for the AEDs include the Rotary Park Pool and Camp Samac Pool, both in Oshawa, the Ux- bridge Train Station, the Uxbridge Lawn Bowling Club and the Uxbridge Fire Hall, the Pickering Soccer Club and the Ajax Quaker House. Kim Wilkinson, clinical co-ordinator at Lakeridge Health Base Hospital, noted that since the beginning of the Public Access Defibril- lator program in 2001, there have been 40 AED uses, with 23 lives saved (57.5 per cent save rate) in Durham. McKinnon said of the AED initiative, "We felt it was safety related and a good process to save lives. "The good part about it is that this is what SCOPA is all about, ensuring safety within the community," he said. AJAX-PICKERING SAFETY GROUP WRAPS UP ITS WORK Jim McKinnon of the Safe Communities of Pickering/Ajax (SCOPA) spoke to students at Donald A. Wilson Secondary School about Health and Safety Awareness for Co-op Students. SCOPA is ending after 20 years. It's been giving safety talks to groups for years.

The library was awarded the 2019 Minister's Award for Inno- vation at the annual Ontario Li- brary Association Super Con- ference awards gala held at the Metro Toronto Convention Cen- tre on Thursday, Jan. 31. The honour was for the li- brary's digital outreach pro- gram, PPL Connect. The library had also been shortlisted for the Angus Mowat Award of Excellence for the Li- brary's Learning Organization model. The Ontario Public Library Service Awards are available through the Ministry of Tour- ism, Culture and Sport. The awards identify and promote creative public library service ideas. There are two types of awards, each with categories for large, medium and small librar- ies: The Minister's Award for In- novation recognizes successful new approaches that demon- strate a positive impact in a community and are of contin- ued value to public libraries. The Angus Mowat Award of Excellence recognizes a com- mitment to excellence in the de- livery of public library service. These services can be old or new and can be ongoing. PPL Connect impacted resi- dents by showcasing the library as an essential partner in bridg- ing the digital divide in the com- munity. By providing equitable and convenient access to inter- net resources and technology training, the library ensures residents are able to effectively participate in a 21st-century economy. PICKERING LIBRARY WINS AWARD FOR INNOVATION COMMUNITY PICKERING - A free eight- week program will teach Picker- ing residents how their local gov- ernment works. "Pickering 101 - Your City. Right Now" will teach partici- pants what's behind the facilities, services, events and programs the city offers and residents use. "This is a unique opportunity for us to educate and engage our residents on municipal gover- nance, and provide them with greater access to city hall and the staff who serve them," Mayor Dave Ryan said in a statement. "We welcome all backgrounds, ex- periences, and abilities - it's about building trust, and making mean- ingful, lasting relationships with those who call Pickering home." Sue Wilkinson took the course and said, "I really enjoyed the pro- gram and learned a great deal about how the city works and the people responsible. I met some very interesting Pickering resi- dents and I was able to fine-tune some recommendations for the future of the city, particularly the development of the city core and Highway 2, and I have been called on to comment on other city pro- grams and projects as they have surfaced." Staff experts will provide par- ticipants with the knowledge they need to understand, and ac- tively engage in community. The program will run on Wednesday evenings, from March 27 to May 15. Interested ap- plicants must be residents of Pickering and commit to attend- ing all eight classes. Spaces are limited. Visit pick- ering.ca/pickering101 for pro- gram information and to register.

GetyourfreespecialreportNOW AJAX/PICKRING - DURHAM - New num- bers show Durham's Catho- lic school board is projecting more students and more schools over the next decade. This year, net enrolment is up by 194 students, for a to- tal of 21,406. The Durham Catholic District School Board has space for 22,197 in its schools, which puts it at a "utilization rate" of 97 per cent. New projections say by 2028, total enrolment will sit at 23,911 students and with the utilization rate right around 100 per cent. "We like to have fully uti- lized schools, it means we're using our space wisely," says Lewis Morgulis, man- ager of planning, admissions and partnerships for the DCDSB. Full schools also put the board in a strong position to ask for money to build new schools, when capital sub- missions are sent to the province. This year the DCDSB will be asking for funding for three high priority projects - a new elementary school in the Seaton community in Pickering, a replacement for Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Osh- awa and a new high school in Brooklin. They're some of the areas set to drive big growth for the board - Seaton will have 60,000 people once occupan- cy is complete; development in west Whitby is expected to add up to 5,900 housing units; expansion in the Brooklin urban area will in- crease the size of the com- munity to 80,000 people; and development of the Kedron secondary plan in north Oshawa will add about 25,000 people. The DCDSB recently re- leased its Long Term Accom- modation Plan for 2019 to 2023, which lays out growth projections and major pro- jects. Plans for 2019 include the December opening of a new elementary school on Bridle Road in Oshawa - the board is looking for name suggestions - as well as "reviewing the viability" of the board's French im- mersion program in Ux- bridge, and initiating a boundary review between St. Christopher Catholic School and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School. Four child care projects will also be completed this year. New child care centres with room for 73 children each are expected to open in fall 2019 at Good Shep- herd Catholic School in Port Perry and St. Teresa of Calcutta Catholic School in Ajax, as well as a centre with space for 96 children at Monsignor Philip Coffey Catholic School in Oshawa and an expansion of the ex- isting child care centre at St. Theresa Catholic School in Whitby. DCDSB Superintendent Bob Camozzi says there is major demand for child care in schools. "During construction they often are filled and there is a waiting list by the time it's open," he notes. Child care centres are just one way the DCDSB is making use of empty space in under utilized schools. In 2018, the board had 31 vacant classrooms and 27 that had been repurposed - that's compared with just one repurposed classroom in 2012. Other examples include turning unused space into Early ON child and family centres, or finding commu- nity partners. This month, trustees gave the green light to a new part- nership that will see Grand- view Children's Centre use empty classrooms at Monsi- gnor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Oshawa, with an initial agreement set for five years. Overall, Camozzi says the DCDSB is "well-positioned" for the next few years. "The future is bright for Catholic education in Dur- ham."

"They've engaged in speculation since Sept. 15, 2014, and they continue to do so today," Marco Sciarra said in calling for acquittal of his client, David Knight. "Speculation is the foundation of wrongful convictions," Sciarra told the jurors at the Oshawa courthouse. "Absent spec- ulation, the only answer is this: David Knight is an in- nocent man." Knight, 46, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, arson and con- spiracy to commit murder in the death of his wife, Carmela Knight, whose body was found in the burned-out garage of her home on Pebblestone Cres- cent Sept. 15, 2014. The Crown alleges Knight hired another man, Gra- ham MacDonald, to carry out the killing. During a lengthy trial that began last October the Crown has laid out a theo- ry that Knight, who was in KNIGHT MURDER TRIAL: "TUNNEL VISION" ON PART OF COPS RESULTED IN INNOCENT MAN BEING CHARGED, LAWYER CLAIMS NEWS JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com were arrested in late Feb- ruary 2015. He also denied making payments to Mac- Donald or assisting with the alleged plan to divert police. Knight testified that the cash and the rosary Mac- Donald showed to the un- dercover officers had been stolen from his coat pocket during a meeting in a pub. During his closing argu- ments Thursday, Sciarra portrayed MacDonald as a lifetime criminal and drug addict who concocted his story about Knight's invol- vement in the killing. Mac- Donald was "manipulated" by police eager to confirm their suspicion that Knight was the prime suspect in the murder, the lawyer said. "A more coerced police confession has yet to be seen," Sciarra said Thurs- day. The police were playing catch-up, Sciarra said: He pointed to evidence that shortly before her death Carmela had reported sus- picious activity around the house, but that Durham police had not followed up. Cellphone records re- viewed at trial show Mac- Donald was in the area of the Pebblestone house at the time Carmela made the report, he said. "If only the police did their jobs on Aug. 15, 2014, this tragedy might have been prevented," Sciarra said. "Durham regional po- lice went into complete damage control that night and spared no expense." Investigators developed "tunnel vision" and fo- cused on Knight as their suspect, Sciarra said: "The husband did it. And the po- lice looked to no one else." the midst of an acrimoni- ous divorce with Carmela, wanted her dead so that he could collect a life insur- ance payout and move with his sons to Florida, where he planned to buy a con- struction company and start a new life with his girlfriend there. Central to the Crown's case was an extensive po- lice investigation, during which undercover police posing as low-level crimi- nals befriended MacDon- ald, then convinced him they could help him avoid prosecution for the killing by having a dying buddy confess to the crime. Hop- ing to make the plan work, MacDonald provided de- tailed confessions and said Knight had promised him $100,000 and a job in Flori- da. As the investigation continued police conduct- ed surveillance as Mac- Donald and Knight met several times in early 2015. It is alleged that at one point Knight, hoping to help bolster the phoney story being crafted by Mac- Donald and his pals, hand- ed over to MacDonald a ro- sary that had belonged to Carmela. MacDonald also showed the officers $5,000, claiming it was a payment from Knight, court heard. Knight testified in his own defence, denying any role in Carmela's murder and insisting he was un- aware of MacDonald's in- volvement until after both WHAT THE DEFENCE CONTENDS DURHAM - A prosecu- tor has urged jurors to re- ject testimony tendered by David Knight in his own defence, accusing the man of pushing a pack of lies to distance himself from the brutal killing of his wife, Carmela. "David Knight is not telling the truth when he says he had no involve- ment in the death of Car- mela Knight," Paul Mur- ray said as he began his fi- nal submissions to jurors Friday at the Oshawa courthouse. "He lied to you," Mur- ray told the jury. "His ver- sion of events is the tor- tured building of a house of cards without a founda- tion, that cannot hold to- gether." Murray's scathing as- sessment of Knight - both his testimony and his character in general - came as this lengthy mur- der trial enters its final stages. It is expected that CROWN URGES JURORS TO REJECT TESTIMONY OF ACCUSED IN PICKERING MURDER TRIAL: 'HE LIED TO YOU' JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com WHAT THE CROWN CONTENDS confessions and said Knight had promised him $100,000 and a job in Flori- da. Knight testified in his own defence, denying any involvement in the killing and claiming he had no idea MacDonald, with whom he met and spoke on numerous occasions before and after the mur- der, had perpetrated it un- til after both were arrest- ed in early 2015. His de- fence lawyer, Marco Sciar- ra, portrayed MacDonald as a contemptible low-life who was manipulated by cops intent on arresting their prime suspect, Knight. On Friday Murray agreed jurors ought to ap- proach evidence based on MacDonald's statements with caution - but remind- ed them that in many in- stances, his version of the killing was corroborated by other evidence gath- ered by police. "You can believe Gra- ham MacDonald when he says he did it for money, at the behest of David Knight," he said. And Murray assailed the testimony of Knight, whom he accused of lying throughout the seven days he spent on the witness stand earlier this month. "One thing you can be sure of is that virtually nothing you heard from David Knight during his testimony was the truth," the prosecutor said. "You cannot trust anything he said in the court process." next week jurors, who be- gan hearing evidence last October, will begin delib- erations on a verdict. Knight, 46, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, arson and con- spiracy to commit murder in the death of Carmela, whose body was found by f irefighters responding to a raging fire at her Peb- blestone Crescent home on Sept. 15, 2014. The Crown alleges that Knight, who was in the midst of an acrimonious divorce with Carmela, wanted her dead so that he could collect a life insur- ance payout and move with his sons to Florida, where he planned to buy a construction company and start a new life with his girlfriend there. Central to the Crown's case was an extensive po- lice investigation, during which undercover police posing as low-level crimi- nals befriended Graham MacDonald, then con- vinced him they could help him avoid prosecu- tion for the killing by hav- ing a dying buddy confess to the crime.

At the time, it was the only one of its kind in Dur- ham Region and after 33 years as an educator, she was hoping to put her lead- ership and communication skills to use. "I was always very in- volved in organizing things and being with people - those are my two main things that I enjoy doing," she said. Fast forward more than 20 years and Veroba has been instrumental in the creation of several local Probus clubs. She is foun- ding president of the Pro- bus Club in Oshawa, where she lives, and has also helped establish the Whit- by/Brooklin, Clarington and Uxbridge chapters. She's currently spearhead- ing the launch of Durham's 10th Probus Club, which will mainly service the Whitby and Oshawa areas and be known as Durham Central. Probus is an acronym for the words "profession- al" and "business" and the main purpose of these or- ganizations is to provide meetings and fellowship opportunities for retired and semi-retired people. Each Probus Club is spon- sored by a Rotary Club and meets at least once a month. There are more than 4,000 Probus clubs worldwide, including 241 clubs in Canada with about 36,000 members. "There are more people who are aware of Probus now, so it's growing con- stantly. In 1998, Ajax was the only one and now there are 10 in Durham and soon to be more," said Veroba. Despite the connection to Rotary, Probus clubs are not service organizations and are non-sectarian and non-political. Clubs are formed to provide social events and discussions by guest speakers to keep members up-to-date with community issues. Many members have branched off into smaller interest groups for hobbies includ- ing sports, entertainment, poker, gardening, travel, hiking and reading books. "People find the social part of it really great; you've got speakers and various interest groups and activities and you make new friends," she noted. "(My husband and I) have neighbours who live a few blocks away that we hadn't met before, but we met them at Probus." Bob Ashdown, an Ash- burn resident who served as founding president of the Whitby/Brooklin Pro- bus Club, said it's difficult to keep up with the demand for more groups. "It's not just in Durham - it's everywhere. With the aging population (and) more people retiring, they're so successful," he said. "The Port Perry Club that we opened just a cou- ple of years ago has already exceeded capacity; the Whitby club has exceeded capacity; the Oshawa club is at capacity. You get to a point where you just have to find another venue and another day to accommo- date all the people that are interested." According to the Region of Durham's Age-Friendly Durham Strategy and Ac- tion Plan from 2017, the pop- ulation of older Canadians is growing faster than at any other time in the coun- try's history. By 2030, more than a quarter of Canada's population is expected to be over the age of 65. "Consistent with this national trend, the number of older adults in Durham is also increasing. People are living longer, and over the next few decades the wave of aging Baby Boom- ers will shift the demo- graphic makeup of our community substantially," the report said. There are 177,678 resi- dents aged 55 and older in Durham, making up nearly 27 per cent of the total pop- ulation, based on 2015 pop- ulation estimates. This is expected to increase to 34 per cent by the year 2031. Veroba said she's heard from some members that Probus saved their lives af- ter the death of a spouse left them feeling isolated. "They can belong to something and do things with everyone and feel a part of it, whereas in some (social gatherings), you feel that you've got to have a partner with you - so, it's a good mixture of people." She's in two book clubs and enjoys going to the the- atre while her husband has gone hiking. They've also taken trips together, in- cluding a cruise to Israel and Egypt. "It's an opportunity to do some special things but have friends along with you," said Veroba, adding that there are currently 29 different interest groups in the Oshawa club alone. "Any interest that a per- son has, if they're willing to run it, they lead it and peo- ple join." The new club will be sponsored by the Oshawa Probus Club and is set to launch this spring. Mem- bers are not required to live in the municipality that a specific group is based. "Some Oshawa mem- bers reside in Whitby, Courtice and Port Perry and it is not unusual for members to belong to more than one club," said Ash- down, who also belongs to the Port Perry and Ux- bridge clubs. He explained that an in- formation session will be held on Thursday, April 18 at 10 a.m. in the Bobby Orr room at the Oshawa Civic Centre, 99 Thornton Rd., Oshawa, to provide those interested with an over- view of how a typical Pro- bus Club operates, includ- ing the activities, interests and social events enjoyed by members. "This is an opportunity to become a founding mem- ber and meet your neigh- bours involved in the form- ing of this welcomed new addition of a Probus club in our community." Once the club is estab- lished, meetings will be held at 10 a.m. on the third Thursday of the month at the same location. Annual membership fees vary for each group but are usually around $30 per year.

NEW RETIREE GROUP COMING SOON TO DURHAM Lorraine Veroba, who first joined the Ajax Probus Club in 1998 and served as founding president of the Oshawa Probus Club, is helping to set up the latest chapter. The new Probus club, offering meetings and fellowship opportunities for retired and semi-retired people in Durham, will be launched this spring to meet the growing demand across the region. There are currently nine clubs, serving the Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Port Perry, Uxbridge, Whitby and Oshawa areas.

He had been retired for two years from his job as an IT director when a friend and fellow Probus member encouraged him to start up a local chapter. At the time, he was worried about how many people would be interested in joining and hoped to have at least 50 people. Within one year, the club had more than 250 members and is currently at full capacity. 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 , F e b r u a r y 1 3 , 2 0 1 9 | 10 Press Run 162,050 February 13, 2019 *Independently Owned & OperatedMe t r o l a n D Dur h a Mreal estate SOLD For Record Breaking Price on Street in 2018 BARRY MOORE Sales representative Royal LePage Terrequity Realty, Brokerage 293 Eglinton Ave. East Toronto, ON M4P 1L3 Direct:905-903-4339 Office: 416-485-2299 www.PropertiesByBarry.com BarryMoore@royallepage.ca FOR A QUICK FREE HOME EVALUTION CALL BARRY MOORE TODAY Let Me Do The Same For You in 2019!

Jason Liebregts/Metroland An Ajax teen is among six young people charged with attempted murder af- ter a violent incident in Manitoulin Island. At about 5 p.m. on Satur- day, Feb. 2, police respond- ed to a shooting on M'Chi- geeng First Nation. Police report two males, a 20-year-old and 16-year- old, were transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Fol- lowing the shooting, police assisted with a hold and se- cure of the community un- til there were no concerns for public safety. A short time later, the OPP located and arrested four individuals in a vehi- cle that had been reported stolen on Highway 6 in Lit- tle Current. Two additional suspects were arrested in M'Chigeeng First Nation. Police have laid at- tempted murder charges against all six individuals and recovered what is be- lieved to be the only fire- arm involved in the inci- dent. United Chiefs and Coun- cil of Manitoulin Anish- naabe Police Service Const. Murray Still said po- lice are unable to reveal whether the victims were targeted or what type of firearm was used. He said the weapon will be sent away for testing. "There is a lot of (investi- gating) we have to do yet. I can't really divulge any facts related to why it hap- pened or what happened," Still said. "We're pretty confident there was just one weapon used," he added. "We've just put everything together. They've all been charged with attempted murder." The six individuals are facing a combined 29 charges, including at- tempted murder, breaking and entering, theft of a mo- tor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime. Still said the breaking and entering charges laid against five individuals re- late to "something that happened after" the shoot- ing. He declined to reveal whether said incident oc- curred on the same proper- ty as the shooting. A 17-year-old boy from Shelburne is charged with attempted murder with a firearm, breaking and en- tering with intent to com- mit an indictable offence, possession of property ob- tained by crime over $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle, as- sault with a weapon and two counts of failing to comply with recognizance. Other individuals charged include a 17-year- old girl from Ajax, a 17-year- old boy from Brampton, a 16-year-old boy from North York, a 16-year-old girl from Toronto and a 19-year-old man from Toronto.

DURHAM - A new nick- name and branding for the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology will be unveiled at the end of this month. In the fall, the school an- nounced plans to experi- ment with using "ONTe- chU" as a short form to re- place UOIT - but it didn't go over well. "Clearly ONTechU was not where people felt an af- finity, and they started to suggest other directions," says Richard Seres, execu- tive director of communi- cations and marketing at UOIT. Over the past few months, feedback has been has been gathered through online forms, social media and town hall meetings. A brand advisory group made up of university staff has been weighing options that include "Ontario Tech" and "Ontario Insti- tute of Technology." A branding update on UOIT's website says "Uni- versity of Ontario" is not being considered as an op- tion, because it "blends us into a 'sea of sameness' along with many other uni- versity brand names." The unveiling of the new short-form name and branding is planned for Feb. 26, and a "preview week" will follow from Feb. 26 to March 1, where stake- holders can attend infor- mation sessions and offer feedback. The university's official name is not being changed - just the branding and short form. UOIT has struggled with its name since open- ing 15 years ago. Officials have noted over the years that the full name is a mouthful, while people frequently mix up the letters in the initialism, or confuse it with "U of T," which stands for the Uni- versity of Toronto. UOIT president Steven Murphy, says he is "shocked" by how often the school's name is said incor- rectly at galas and commu- nity events. "I've probably heard ev- ery possible combination," he says. The branding update notes the "Ontario Tech" option is "consistent with how other technology-fo- cused universities brand themselves international- ly, but there is concern that it may not gain respect if it does not clearly position us as a university." Seres also speaks to the importance of including tech in the school's brand- ing. "We know that technolo- gy is a key part of our man- date ... we know that's our area of strength," he says. "We know that's a differen- tiator and we want to make sure that's reflected in the way that people see the uni- versity and talk about it. It positions us as being differ- ent."

When it comes to a complete expression of love and olfactory satisfac- tion, the pairing seems to exceed all in intimate ex- pression and can make for an exciting organoleptic - and romantic - evening. The choice can be vari- able since, as with most food pairings, it is affected by fat content, tannin, sug- ar levels, acidity and unique product character- istics. Chocolate can either be a main course or dessert. In this case the usual des- sert rule that wine should be as sweet as or sweeter than the dessert item may be slightly overlooked. Sweet chocolate, such as white chocolate (which really does not contain ca- cao or the pure chocolate substance), can be served with a sweet wine, such as an Ontario icewine like the Inniskillin Vidal Ice- wine (Vintages No. 388306, $49.95). The creamy peach texture of the wine, along with its citrus acidity and honey flavours, will meld well with the creamy tex- ture of the chocolate. A dry, light fruit driven wine, such as the Meiomi Pinot Noir (Vintages No. 130138, $28.95) with smooth strawberry/cherry fla- vours and citrus that cuts through the creaminess of the white chocolate, can also be suitable. Milk chocolate can vary greatly with its sugar and fat levels. Depending on the amount of cacao and chocolate sweetness lev- els, the wine picks can vary. I suggest Henry of Pelham Late Harvest Spe- cial Select Vidal (LCBO No. 395228, $19.95) with peach/apricot flavour or a very sweet red like the Greek Kourtaki Mavro- daphne (Vintages No. 208413, $14.95) with expres- sions of dry fruit, fig, wal- nut and chocolate fla- vours. Dark chocolate usually is leaner than the other chocolate varieties and comes with several amounts of cacao. The leanest and most bitter contain 90 per cent to 100 per cent cacao. "Lean on Lean," such as a super dry Cabernet with dark choco- late, doesn't do it for me. However, a dry Zinfandel, such as Carnivor Zinfan- del (LCBO No. 569905, $15.85), having residual sugar of about 10 to 15 grams per litre, along with cinnamon spice, toasted oak and fruit flavours has enough to enhance the bit- ter chocolate flavour. Another possibility is a late bottled vintage port, such as Taylor's Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port (LCBO No. 46946, $18.45) with spicy sweetness, co- coa powder and fig fla- vours. Vintage port, such as the Dona Mathilde Vin- tage 2011 (LCBO No. 487016, $68.25), would be great not only with dark chocolate but even better with choc- olate mousse or cake. The above are only sug- gestions. Other suitable wine ranges from dry Amarone to sweet Muscat.
