Along with receiving an hono- rarium, student trustees can par- ticipate in more school board busi- ness after changes to the Education Act. According to a report present- ed at the Feb. 5 standing commit- tee meeting, the Durham District School Board has to amend its Bylaw 12 to comply with the new regulation. “There’s a number of changes to be made, not the least that includes adding a $2,500 honorarium,” said Craig Burch, the board’s director of education. A letter from the ministry of ed- ucation regarding the Province’s student trustee Regulation 07/07, filed by the government on Jan. 15, says student trustees will be paid $2,500 each and serve a term from Aug. 1 to July 31. Elections are to be held by April 30 and salaries will be pro-rated for students who have not served the full year. Expenses and resources, as well as access to professional development oppor- tunities, must also be provided. Health network to oversee $2 million in funding By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Almost $2 million is going to be used to help patients leave hospitals sooner and ensure geriatric patients receive more personal care. The Central East Local Health Integra- tion Network (LHIN) an- nounced the funding for the two initiatives, with the money to be spread across the organization’s catchment area. About $1.35 million will be used to fund a geriatric emergency management partner- ship between five Central East LHIN hospitals, in- cluding the Rouge Valley Health System, Lakeridge Health, the Scarborough Hospital, Peterborough Regional Health Centre and Ross Memorial. Clara Tsang, a geriatric clinical nurse specialist/ nurse practitioner at Rouge Val- ley, started a similar program with Rouge Valley in 2004. “I deeply believe a geriatric emergency management (GEM) practitioner can have a great im- pact in the quality of life in our seniors,” she said. With the program, a GEM prac- titioner would work with a patient when they come to a hospital. Ms. Tsang said when a geriatric patient comes into an emergency department, skills are needed to assess them. Given the “unique” needs of ge- riatric patients, some of whom are on many medications and have multiple ailments, it’s important to have someone trained in dealing with them, Ms. Tsang said. Dr. John Peto said “we need the bodies quickly.

Funding for both pro- grams is coming from $13.7 million in one-time funding to build capacity to deliver care and to improve the availability of hospital beds. “We see this as a growth project. We believe it should be standard level of care for seniors in our hospitals,” he said. The original program has “shown itself to be very ef- fective. The LHIN will de- cide how to fund it” once the funding runs out, Mr. Meloche stated. The specialist will “work with the senior most in need,” he said. “We’re try- ing to deal with people in the ER so quickly.” The $610,800 will increase home care and community supports for patients with ‘a lternate levels of care’ (ALC), such as patients who are in the hospital but who no longer need hospital ser- vices. Marilyn Emery, the CEO of the Central East LHIN, described ALC patients “as, in other words, patients not receiving the right care in the right place.” The funding will also be used for the Central East Community Care Access Centre’s emergency depart- ment case manager capac- ity in Peterborough.

However, the company, Arbour Power, doesn’t own the steam plant and Town staff indicate the site isn’t for sale. And, the steam plant site isn’t large enough for the proposed facility. Arbour and Dongara Pellet Fac- tory have filed a proposal with the provincial environment ministry to construct the facility. The proposal is listed on the Environmental Bill of Rights registry (EBR) and the companies are asking for a series of exemptions, including that the proposal be considered using a less- stringent environmental screening process and not a full environmen- tal assessment. With the facility, Dongara would create ‘pellets’ from post-recycling municipal waste. The pellets would then be burned in the EFW facility, creating both steam and electricity. Dongara has a facility in Vaughan, where the pellets would be made. The waste for the pellets would come from York Region. Barb Hodgins, a policy plan- ner with the Town, noted having the steam plant operating in the downtown area is a “disincentive” to neighbouring business owners to upgrade their properties. The technology proposed for the plant is a “new and emerging” one in North America, Ms. Hodgins said. A recommendation from staff requested the MOE not grant any exemptions. Also, the Town has 27 requirements it would like consid- ered, such as monitoring air emis- sions, doing a traffic impact study and no ‘raw’ waste be brought onto the site. “Our report suggests a cau- tionary process,” she said. Mayor Steve Parish suggested the MOE allow the exemptions, pro- vided most of the Town’s require- ments are addressed. Other council members didn’t support that approach, preferring to stick with the staff recommenda- tion. All councillors agreed the steam plant site needed to be cleaned up. Ms. Hodgins noted the Town has laid 20 charges against the steam plant’s owners for property stan- dard infractions. Calls to the owner of the steam plant were not re- turned. Mayor Parish noted the represen- tatives from Sundail Homes, which is building homes at Bayly Street and Monarch Avenue, told the Town that the steam plant is stopping their plans to construct a pair of high-rise apartment-style buildings. Air emissions from the current operation “isn’t assisting the air quality in Ajax,” pointing to black smoke that comes out of the plant on a regular basis, the mayor stated, adding it’s “basically a dump in the middle of our town.” Wards 1 and 2 Regional Council- lor Scott Crawford supported the staff’s original recommendation, noting an EFW facility would “be burning York Region’s garbage for years to come. I’m not sure we want that as council’s legacy.” Steven Rowe, an environmental planner retained by the Town, said, “This isn’t a pilot plan. It’s a large- scale facility. “Part of an EA is proving all these things out, including a new technol- ogy,” he added. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Council- lor Colleen Jordan said a full EA is needed, especially with a new tech- nology. She said new items are developed and have “created much larger con- cerns and had to be pulled from the market. It’s why we need to take a cautionary approach.” Free Coffee M u g (New colour ea c h w e e k ) Instant dis c o u n t off your breakfa s t b u f f e t A ballot for a ch a n c e t o w i n a 42” P l a s m a t e l e v i s i o n Every Monday – T h u r s d a y February 19 – M a r c h 1 5 , 2 0 0 7 Purchase a Brea k f a s t B u f f e t a n d r e c e i v e : Be one of the fir s t 1 0 0 p e o p l e t o 535 Slots • 60 Table Games Port Perry, ON • 905-985-4888 • 1-888-29-HERON www.greatblueheroncasino.com See rules for details at the Rapid Rewards Players Club Centre.

Book includes 100 pages more than last year DURHAM — Students have even more pathways to choose to be suc- cessful. With more than 100 additional pages than last year, the Durham District School Board’s Pathways to Student Success booklet should be in schools by the end of the week, heard those at the Feb. 5 standing committee meeting. The booklet includes information on programs such as musical theatre professional, global leadership, and a culinary program that leads to col- lege, university or the workplace. “From a student perceptive, this book is phenomenal,” said Student Trustee Alicia Ali. “If it had come out four years ago, my life may have been a little different.” Many pathways to student success By Stefanie Swinson sswinson@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Wiarton Willie says spring is right around the corner, which means it’s time to get clean- ing. Recently one local hom- eowner and one residential business owner had the op- portunity to really tidy up. The Durham Chapter of the Professional Organizers in Canada teamed up with the Metroland Durham Re- gion Media Group to solicit contest entries for areas most in need of organiz- ing. Winners from business and residential categories, who had to submit photos of their space in need of or- ganizing, were then chosen for a complete room make- over. The business space winner, Kim Cleland, is a freelance graphic designer living in Courtice. She found she was having a hard time getting motivated to work in her home office because of all the clutter. For example, among the contents of her workspace were boxes filled with bills over 10 years old. She called the makeover experience, “n erve-wracking yet excit- ing.” Once the team of organiz- ers was through, the change in Ms. Cleland’s home office was like night and day. Be- fore, the buildup time prevented her from accessing files she needed on a daily basis for work. Now, she has a functional, accessible, storage-lined office that means she can fully concentrate on her job hunt. Glenda Muir, profes- sional organizer, says these type of work spaces are all too common. “I think there are a lot of people who do have rooms just like Kim’s and the reason we hear is because of time,” she says. “People just don’t have the time to dedicate to becom- ing organized. The other reason is people find it very overwhelming.” As for the residential room winner, Merle Cole has learned a big lesson from the cleanup. In fact, the Oshawa resident has applied his new-found or- ganization skills to another room in his house. “I now have a place I can come down and relax and work on hobbies,” he said. “I’m not embarrassed to have people over.” Professional organizer Sandy Terry said a key to good organization is to get down to it without delay. “Merle was able to make decisions quick,” she noted. “That’s sometimes the bug bear on these things (clean- ing up). People have a hard time choosing what to keep and what to get rid of.” Ms. Terry added a good rule of thumb for maintain- ing an organized space is to remove an item for every item you bring in to the room. As for Ms. Cleland’s opin- ion on the results, she said on a scale of 1 to 10 it is “definitely a nine.” “It’s a great experience but next time I think I’d want to be more involved,” she said. “I think I was a bit more shell-shocked than anything. But if they (the organizers) weren’t here it wouldn’t have been done.” DURHAM REGION You may be eligible to participate in a treatment study using nicotine replacement therapy (i.e. nicotine gum, patch or inhaler) to help you quit smoking.

Mr. Suzuki brought his message of protecting the environment to Pickering Feb. 9 as part of his ‘If YOU were Prime Minister...’ national tour. During the event, hosted by Dunbarton High School in partnership with Durham Sustain Ability, Mr. Suzuki discussed the chal- lenges the world faces and collected votes on environ- mental issues to take to Ottawa. His message was heard loud and clear by some, including Grade 10 student Kyle Watson, who left the gymnasium more concerned about the environment. “I think we should stop greenhouse gases and things like that and stop peo- ple from cutting down trees because it ruins the environment,” said Kyle. He added we also have to stop polluting. “I thought it was really good,” said Stephanie Zerter, a Grade 12 Dunbarton student. “I think it will probably change a lot of people’s mind (about) what they should be doing about it.” Mr. Suzuki said it has always struck him when talking to people that what they want is not the same as politicians are giving. “I have never heard a Canadian say it’s absolutely vital we have a one per cent decrease in GST,” said Mr. Suzuki. He said people express concerns over asthma increases, water quality, and jobs for the future. For years, scientists have been warn- ing about the impact of greenhouse gases and pollution, and this is definitely the defining moment, said Mr. Suzuki. “More recently, we’ve become very aware of the implications of global warming,” he said. Since the Second World War, North America has been a land of massive con- sumption, with a big impact on the en- vironment. In recent years, houses have become twice as large with less people living in them. “A ll of this consumption is coming out of the earth and that means we have a much greater footprint on the earth,” he said. He described the world as having a blanket around it that keeps its tem- perature just right. In Mars, the blanket causes the temperature to yo-yo from very hot to very cold - not good for life. In Ve nus, its very thick and very hot. Now, earth’s blanket is getting thicker from the burning of fossil fuels and pollution. “Earth has had a temperature that is just the right depth,” he said. To stabi- lize it, greenhouse emissions have to be reduced by 90 per cent within decades so plants can reabsorb carbon being re- leased. But, some politicians have told him moving too fast on environmental initiatives will hurt the economy. “If the economy’s doing well, maybe then we can do something about (the environment) - that’s never made sense to me,” said Mr. Suzuki. He added the cost of living with damage being caused is estimated to cost much more. Although he was proud when Canada signed the Kyoto protocol in 2002, the government is now turning its back on it, said Mr. Suzuki. “We’ve got an election coming up and it’s up to us... to go and ask our candi- dates what do you plan to do to support our environment,” he said. Mr. Suzuki said there is lots we can do, but politicians want to keep doing the same. Some countries tax things they don’t want and cut taxes on things they do to help change behaviour. He added Canada has to stop paying tax dollars to support fossil fuel industries.Some things everyone can do to help include leaving the car at home once a week and not eating meat once a week, said Mr. Suzuki. Khalil Walji, a Grade 10 student at Dunbarton High School and president of the environmental club, said his group already knew about some of the environ- mental initiatives, such as eating meat once less a week. Next month, the club is having a movie night, featuring ‘An In- convenient Truth’, a documentary about climate change, during which members will hand out samples of meat substi- tutes. The group is also studying energy consumption at the school and doing a report on it for the principal.

Councillors questioned on checks and balances By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Durham resident wants the Region to increase its checks and balances. Colin Kemp appeared before the Region’s finance and administration committee on Feb. 7 regarding Bill 130, the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act. He asked the committee to fit the establishment of an integrity commis- sioner or an ombudsman into it’s 2007 budget. He said municipalities need such a role filled because they are not po- liced. “Bill 130 gives municipalities en- hanced accountability powers to es- tablish amongst other things, an integ- rity commissioner and ombudsman,” said Mr. Kemp, a Scugog resident. “A four-year term is a long time for taxpayers to wait to turf out elected of- ficials who they feel are not performing up to par,” Mr. Kemp said. “I believe taxpayers need this service now more then ever.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish made a mo- tion to refer the suggestion to staff so they might gather information about what the role of an ombudsman would be and how much it would cost. “None of us have had our training on Bill 130 yet,” Mayor Parish said. “That comes in March.” The motion carried but committee advised Mr. Kemp that to have an om- budsman established in 2007 was not possible.

Is Mae Cudmore for real? She claims that the Conserva- tive “attack” ads are disparaging to everyone, including the animals in the zoo. Does she not remember the terrible attack ads from the Liberals in the last two federal elections in which Stephen Harper was portrayed as the scariest person since Dracula and Adolph Hitler? Really, now, Ms. Cudmore! All the Con- servative ads do is point out the facts surrounding Stephane Dion and his foibles. At least these ads are stating facts. The Liberal ads were trumpeting stuff that was mostly fantasy to feed the need of people to believe that our current prime minister was a truly scary monster who would totally destroy the country and everything for which Canadians stand.

One of my favourite episodes of the old Andy Griffith series features Opie, Ron Howard as a boy, being bullied at school. His dad, Sheriff Taylor, finds out about the bullying but doesn’t step in to protect his son. Instead he tells his son about the time he was bullied and how he fought back, which put an end to the bullying. Opie, being the obedient child, follows his dad’s advice and his bullying troubles are quickly over. Wow, if only life today was like that. With three boys in elementary school, bullying is one of the top concerns of my wife and I. On every visit to the teachers we ask if our sons play with others in the yard and if they ever have any prob- lems we might not hear about. So far, so good. Bullying is a big issue with me now with the story we ran last week about a Pickering student who was bullied. The bullying was videotaped and put on the popular web site, You Tube. As soon as the video was discovered, it was removed and the students punished. What got my blood boiling more than normal is the child who was bullied had suffered a stroke at age seven and was partially paralyzed. We contacted the family for a comment and they declined. We respected that decision and also de- cided not to name the school since it could identify the student. The public school board has, so far, re- fused to say what punishment was hand- ed down to the cyber-bullying students. The students were made to apologize to the family, but residents deserve to know what punishment was meted out. Bullying seems to be an accepted so- cial behaviour among some students, but it must be stamped out. The boy convicted in the school killings in Taber, Alberta was bullied as a child. A trial is currently under way in Cobourg for a 19-year-old youth charged with killing a police officer. The court has heard he, too, was bullied. These are extreme cases and in no way are excuses for those two actions. But, maybe things would have been different if bullying didn’t exist. As long as one student feels he or she is superior to another, bullying will be a concern. As long as one student is looked on as different or strange because their hair is a different colour, bullying will be a concern. As long as one student feels he or she needs to show off by denigrat- ing another student for laughs, bullying will be a concern. If only the sheriff was around to ask his advice today. Mike Johnston’s column ap- pears every third Sunday. E-mail mjohnston@durhamregion.com. Mike Johnston managing editor EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Time to elect chairman It’s been in the works for years and now it’s time to change the way the regional chairman’s position is filled in Dur- ham. After a razor-thin 15-13 vote at Regional council that saw nearly all the Oshawa/Ajax/Pickering councillors vote in favour and almost all others vote against -- Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and Whitby Councillor Don Mitchell bucked the trend -- the Region will now ask the Province to change the way in which we determine our regional chairman. Should the Province act on the Region’s recommendation and back Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette’s private member’s bill to have a region-wide general election for the chairman’s po- sition, we’ll finally have taxpayers making the decision on the top job in Durham. That’s the proper course after 88 per cent said “Yes” to selecting the regional chairman by general vote in referenda held last fall in Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering. That’s not meant to criticize current Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, who has been in the chair for nearly a de- cade now. Mr. Anderson has done a fine job of representing Durham’s interests and of filling the No. 1 post for a term with the Ontario Municipal Association. He is an experienced ad- ministrator who has done his best to make Durham’s priori- ties important to the Province and the federal government. The fact is, however, that he has been selected by 28 indi- viduals in the past four straight elections. He didn’t even face a challenge for his position last fall, a situation that would no doubt change if the post was open for election by all Durham’s voters. Election of the regional chairman already exists in Halton Region, where a race for the position has been a part of the election process for several terms now. If it can work in Hal- ton, with its four lower-tier municipalities, why can’t it work in Durham? Yes, it will involve a concerted effort, strong campaigning and a substantial budget to run. But the job merits all of that. Over the past decade -- especially since the Province downloaded so many more responsibilities to municipalities -- the demands on the regional chairman and the expectations that come with the office have dramatically increased. It’s a job that demands full public scrutiny and account- ability. And that can only come when the general public, which pays the bills, has the final say at the ballot box.

The Rams swept the se- ries with a 5-4 overtime victory. Sweep Uxbridge in quarter-final series AJAX — The Ajax High School Rams is the first school to reach the Durham Region senior boys’ hockey playoff semifinals after knocking off Uxbridge Thursday afternoon. The Rams scored a 5-4 overtime victory over the Uxbridge Sec- ondary School Tigers at the Ajax Community Centre to sweep the best-of-three quarter-final series in two straight games. Kevin Watts scored twice, with singles to Mark Ramkema, Ryan Gravel and Kyle Hay. The Rams won Game 1 5-2 in Uxbridge on Monday afternoon. Ajax High will face the winner of the St. Mary Catholic Secondary Monarchs and the Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints quarter-final series in the semifinals. The Monarchs currently lead that best-of-three series 1-0 after posting a 5-2 win on Thursday. Scott Riley, Andy An- dreoff, Chris Hall, Andrew McLeod and Adam Morro scored for St. Mary.

Panthers stave off elimination with OT thriller B y Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers are still alive and kicking in their playoff series with the To- ronto Junior Canadians after pull- ing off a 4-3 overtime victory in Game 5 in Toronto on Thursday night. Game 6 in the best-of-seven OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference playoff series was played at Toron- to’s Chesswood Arena on Saturday (with the result unavailable at press time). Game 7, if necessary, is at the Pickering Recreation Complex tonight (Sunday) at 8:30 p.m. The Panthers needed a little luck, not to mention mental toughness, to pull the Game 5 victory out of the fire. It all added up to yet another playoff con- test of high emotion and drama. “It was un- believable. It was back and forth. I always said our hockey team is tough to beat. We proved that with our resilience to- night,” says Panthers’ head coach Pat Curcio. “The fight in our players is second to none.” The Panthers battled back from a 3-2 deficit as Toronto scored the first two goals of the third period. With less than two minutes to go, starting goalie Brad Fogal was pulled for an extra attacker. With a faceoff in the neutral zone, Curcio decided to put his goalie back in the net. The move was a wise one as Fogal made a game-saving stop to keep Pickering in the game. The Panthers finally got sustained pres- sure in the Toronto zone during the last minute of play with Fogal on the bench. And, it paid off with Kris Belan scoring with 34 seconds left to send the contest to overtime. In overtime, Curcio recalled his pep talk to his troops. “I said to them, ‘you guys deserve this, so go finish this game. Get it to the net and everyone go to the net’.” And, that’s exactly what hap- pened on the overtime winner. Belan won the battle for the puck and put it to the net where Phil Mc- Ilhone awaited to swat it home at the 11:29 mark of the extra frame. For McIlhone, it was his second goal of the game, his first coming on a power-play marker late in the second period. He also earned an assist for a three-point night. Panthers’ captain Richard Scho- field opened the scoring for the Panthers in the second period. Fogal faced 41 shots on goal in posting the big win.

FROM THE NET OUTFROM THE NET OUT Durham Region’s junior hockey blog: catch the latest on all of the area’s junior hockey teams from our experienced team of sports writers and editors www.durhamregion.typepad.com/from_the_net_out/ By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Police officers involved in two incidents that left suspects with injuries have been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the province’s civilian watchdog. Special Investigations Unit (SIU) Director James Cornish announced Thursday that the actions of officers in the incidents -- one an impaired driving bust that resulted in a man sustaining a broken jaw in north Durham and the other a shooting as a suspect fled drug officers in Oshawa -- were justified, given the circumstances under which the injuries oc- curred. The suspects in both cases are facing crimi- nal charges, Mr. Cornish noted. In the first incident, an SIU investigation began after shots were fired during an at- tempted bust in downtown Oshawa Oct. 29, when Drug Enforcement Unit officers stopped a Cadillac Escalade being driven by Isan Jupi- ter, 35, of Grenfell Street in Oshawa. Cops had used their cruisers to box in the Escalade at the intersection of Gibb and Cen- tre streets and had exited their vehicles with guns drawn when the Cadillac sped from the scene, hitting several cruisers. An officer fired five shots at the Cadillac, which was found two days later near Peterborough with traces of blood inside. An arrest warrant was issued for Mr. Jupiter, who was taken into custody after he showed up at hospital in Oshawa almost a month later seeking treatment for a gunshot wound to his leg. “Given a highly volatile and dynamic situ- ation I am satisfied the subject officer had reason to believe it was necessary to shoot Mr. Jupiter’s vehicle to thwart a lethal danger,” Mr. Cornish said in a statement. The second incident began Dec. 19 when police received complaints of an apparently impaired driver in Brock Township. Officers confronted a man in the parking lot of a Hwy. 7 restaurant and a struggle ensued when they tried to take him into custody. The suspect, 47-year-old Robert Janacek, injured his nose when he and the officers fell to the ground, according to a synopsis compiled by the SIU. Mr. Janacek was taken to hospital in Port Perry for treatment and released. When police took him to15 Division on Hwy. 12 another altercation occurred and the man’s jaw was broken. “The officer who dealt with Mr. Janacek in the cells was justified in the use of force to control him,” Mr. Cornish said. Durham Regional Police Association Presi- dent Tom Andrews said the incidents highlight the pressures facing cops as they do their jobs each day. “I think it speaks to the level of violence” of- ficers are confronted with, he said. “We get paid to do a dirty job,” Mr. Andrews said. “I think the public should understand that nobody wants to get arrested.” He said the officers involved were subjected to intense scrutiny by the SIU, an agency that involves incidents in which civilians are killed or injured during transactions with police. The SIU continues to investigate two Dur- ham incidents, including a traffic accident last week in Ajax that left a cop and a civilian with minor injuries. PICKERING II 1660 Kingston Rd.

SIU clears cops involved in impaired arrest, shooting Oshawa truck plant to produce hybrid pick-up trucks By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The good news just keeps roll- ing in for Oshawa. General Motors announced on Tuesday that the Oshawa truck assembly plant will be the first plant in Canada to produce hybrid vehicles. In addition to the regular Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the plant will soon begin production of a new two-mode hybrid version of both trucks. “We are proud to announce we will build the hybrid version of our award-winning pickups in Oshawa,” said Arturo Elias, president of GM Canada. “GM is making it a top priority to pro- vide our customers with the widest selection of green vehicle technologies that can save them fuel and benefit the environment.” The list includes the world’s largest fleet of emission-free hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that are being produced at the Engineering Centre in Oshawa and the locally-built E85 flex fuel Chevy Impala. According to General Motors, the hybrid technology in the pickups will optimize fuel efficiency in both city and highway driving. Patty Faith, spokeswoman for GM Canada, says that by awarding the production of the hybrid technology to the Oshawa truck plant the company is showing confidence in the employees and the quality of work they do. Ms. Faith says the company does not expect the hybrids to impact on the amount of ve- hicles being produced at the plant -- which is already working on overtime -- but that it will change the mix of trucks coming off the line. Production will begin sometime in 2008 and the “greener” vehicles are expected to go on sale in the fall of next year.

The Ajax-based club for male gym- nasts sent three gymnasts to the meet, with two returning with medals. Competing in the Level 1 category, age 13, were Marc LePage of Whitby, Ryan Del Genio of Ajax, and Nicolas O’Neill of Lindsay. LePage finished second overall, with gold medals on the vault, parallel bars and the high-bar. LePage also captured silver on the rings. Meanwhile, Del Genio placed sixth overall with a silver medal on the pom- mel horse and bronze on vault. O’Neill finished 11th overall, with two eighth-place scores on the pom- mel horse and vault.

Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Vinyl Window Designs series of vinyl windows which you’re free to operate and you’ll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. “After being in this business for 26 years, I can honestly say these are the fi nest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All Vinyl Window Designs win- dows come with Low E Glass which fi lters out the ultraviolet rays keep- ing your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hard- ware and glass. Wa yne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every customer gets a high quality job done at the best possible price. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King St. W. in Oshawa. For more information call (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575. No Tax For February Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?
