Pickering’s Muriel Omnes heading to national Firefit championships in September Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- As a female firefighter, Muriel Omnes is all too aware of the perception that women aren’t up to some of the tough physi- cal challenges associated with the job. All the more reason to feel triumphant when she recently brought home a silver medal from the eastern Ontario regional finals of the Scott FireFit championships. “This lets me prove to myself and to others that women can do these tasks, that we are very capable,” she says, noting the demand- ing course is set up the same way for male and female competitors. The competition is based on firefighting tasks commonly performed in emergency sit- uations. This is the first year Pickering Fire Services has participated. Ms. Omnes and fellow fire- fighters Jordan Manganaro, Mike Doherty and Darius Kharazmi competed as a team and individually at the Aug. 23 event in Otta- wa. / durhamregion.com / @newsdurham PICKERINGNews Adver tiser CommunityNA Wed., Sept. 3, 2014 / A publication of Silver lining for firefighter TODAY’S ONLINE VIDEO @newsdurham Pressrun 54,400 / 20 pages / Optional 3-week delivery $6 / $1 newsstand PICKERING -- Pickering firefighter Muriel Omnes recently won a silver medal at the eastern Ontario regional finals of the Scott FireFit championships, a national competition based on firefighting tasks commonly performed in emergency operations.

Now, the Ontario Volunteer Emergen- cy Response Team is looking for a little help of its own. The local organization needs to raise $20,000 to replace its aging command post, which has been in operation since 1998. “The frame is not repairable. We tried band-aid solutions, but it’s at the point that it wasn’t safe to continue using it,” says OVERT coordinator Glen Turpin. “It is an integral part of our operations and we had to take it out of service.” The command post is a mobile trailer that OVERT brings to the scene of com- munity disasters and missing person searches. Inside, team members use laptops to run digital maps and dispatch software to keep track of volunteers in the field. A much smaller trailer is currently being used as a temporary solution, but Mr. Turpin says it is “very cramped.” OVERT, a registered charity based in Durham Region, is made up of 130 high- ly trained search and rescue volunteers, who assist emergency first responders. “If something happens they drop whatever they’re doing and out the door they go to help,” says Mr. Turpin, who describes OVERT’s volunteers as com- ing from “every walk of life.” The unique concept was developed because major incidents such as abduc- tions, natural disasters and missing per- son cases have the potential to tax the resources of first responders such as police, fire and paramedics. OVERT allows for “easy and efficient integration of community volunteers.” Recent examples include the Decem- ber 2013 ice storm and the massive search for missing Whitby jogger Jeffrey Boucher. In 2012, local OVERT volunteers also travelled to the northern Ontario Attawapiskat reserve to deliver aid. Over the past 20 years, OVERT has been involved with more than 100 search-and-rescue operations in Ontar- io. “We’re a quiet safety net,” Ms. Turpin says. “We augment what the emergency response agencies do, we provide those extra resources when disaster strikes.” OVERT has no paid members and is entirely funded by private and corpo- rate donors.

Massive Pickering tourism site should move ahead: report Durham Live project on Bayly Street could include casino Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A new City report rec- ommends moving forward with plans for a massive tourist destination in Pickering. The item was slated for discussion at Pickering council’s planning and devel- opment committee meeting on Sept. 2. City development staff recommends that a re-zoning application from Dur- ham Live be endorsed, saying the pro- posal falls in line with Provincial policy, supports tourism and economic devel- opment in Pickering and “represents good planning.” The City has received an application from Pickering Developments Inc. to re-zone three pieces of land near Bayly and Church streets for a large tourism development. Preliminary plans for the $1.6-billion Durham Live development include a long list of possible amenities -- from upscale hotels and a water park, to a film studio and casino. The plan is for the development to take shape over a 15- to 20-year time- frame. “The subject property is appropriately located and of sufficient size to facili- tate the development of a major tourist destination that would be of significant benefit to the City and the Region,” the report notes. “Moreover, the proposed develop- ment readily allows for a broad and unique range of employment uses that could not easily (if at all) be located elsewhere in the City.” City staff is recommending that an “implementing zoning bylaw” be for- warded to council for consideration. That would include implementing a “Major Tourist Destination” land use zone on the phase 1 portion of the site. The report also recommends that council direct City staff to bring for- ward a report on the phase 2 lands at a later date.

DURHAM -- Durham College has launched its first crowdfunding campaign in an effort to complete the landscaping and planting needed at the Centre for Food in Whitby. Metroland file photo Funding project to grow seeds at Durham College Crowdfunding initiative to support landscaping, planting at Centre for Food DURHAM -- Durham College has launched its first-ever crowdfund- ing campaign in an effort to complete landscaping and planting needed at the Centre for Food. The campaign, ‘Field to Fork: Sow- ing the Seeds of our Community’, is inspired by the college’s commitment to bring locally sourced, quality pro- duce from field to table in Durham Region. The centre, a learning facility that opened to students in September 2013, houses both Bistro ’67, a teaching- inspired restaurant, and Pantry, a retail store that brings student-created goods straight from the culinary classroom to the community. The centre was created in direct response to the demand of the local culinary, hospitality, tourism, agricul- ture and horticulture sectors. “From a philanthropic perspective it is our hope that ‘Field to Fork: Sowing the Seeds of our Community’ will sup- port the link between the college and our community by offering donors an opportunity to provide financial assis- tance to any project where they have a special interest,” said David Chambers, associate vice-president of the office of development at Durham College. Officially launched on Aug. 20, the campaign is being rolled out to alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students, com- munity members and the public. Crowdfunding works by identifying a specific initiative or project online and making its intended purpose and details available and accessible to pro- spective donors. Interested individuals have the option to choose any project they would like to support. Donors can support many aspects of the centre’s landscaping, including the planting of trees, shrubs, fruits, vege- tables and arboretum; garden tools; a walking path; new soil and more. All will be used by the centre’s stu- dents, engaging them in the growing, harvesting, storing, processing, pack- aging and selling of local food. “There are 15 landscaping projects to choose from including a culinary herb garden, kitchen garden, arboretum, pollinator garden and more,” said Mr. Chambers. He believes by helping to support the completion of the landscaping at the Centre for Food, donors will help strengthen the ‘field to fork’ concept in Durham Region.

Durham student testing results due this month Province-wide EQAO results show literacy rates improve in elementary school DURHAM -- While some improvements have been made in student achievement across the province, Ontario’s student testing body says reviews are needed in the areas children are struggling with. Literacy success rates con- tinue to improve in Ontario elementary schools with each passing year, according to the 2014 Education Quality And Accountability Office results. Grade 3 math achievement rates have remained the same, though they have dropped again for students in Grade 6. A review of Grade 6 math responses shows students con- sistently do best demonstrating their math knowledge but not as well applying that knowl- edge, particularly in problem solving. “To paint a quick picture, Grade 6 students know how to multiply (for example) but struggle to know when multiplication is needed to solve a problem,” says Bruce Rodrigues, EQAO CEO. “This has been a consistent pattern with our students. They perform best on questions ask- ing them to demonstrate their math knowledge and least well when asked to apply that knowledge, particularly when problem solving.” Ontario’s elementary schools do a good job developing stu- dent reading and writing skills, says Brian Desbiens, EQAO chairman. “We’re still not seeing the same kind of achievement in math, and aggressive efforts to turn that around must contin- ue at all levels of the education system,” he says. In secondary schools, math success rates have been improving steadily for the past five years for students in both the academic and applied courses. However, more than half of the students in the applied course are still not meeting the provincial standard. Mr. Rodrigues explains applied courses were intro- duced in secondary schools a number of years ago to offer programming for students with different strengths, interests, needs and learning styles. “Student achievement in these courses continues to lag,” he says. “It’s worth reviewing the intent of these courses and how they might better support student achievement.” Of the Grade 10 students who were eligible to write the Ontario Secondary Literacy Test (OSSLT) for the first time in 2014, 83 per cent were suc- cessful. However, results show the success rate on the OSSLT for students in applied English courses has been decreas- ing each year for the past five years. These persistently low suc- cess rates for students in both the applied English and applied math courses suggest a review of those courses is war- ranted, says the EQAO. The EQAO will release reports on Sept. 17 for each elementary school and its board. On Sept. 24, school and board reports will be released for both the Grade 9 math and for the OSSLT. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 4 5 AP YOUR CASINOTOUR SPECIALISTS!

Let me remind baby stroller people that the sign for the accessibility coach is a big, blue wheelchair sign -- universally accepted as the sign for disabled people. People with babies don’t park in those spots and you don’t get a handicapped sign for your car if you have a stroller. As we boarded the GO train in Oshawa, the accessible coach had two people in wheelchairs and someone with a walker. And, at every stop, people with strollers boarded the accessible coach. I get it; there’s a ramp and strollers are a pain. But don’t argue when the GO ambassador tells you to fold your stroller down and make your way away from the accessible seats. You can do that. You are able-bodied. You’re here as a courtesy. You get to enjoy the accessible coach but you’re not entitled to it. You could use any other coach. My husband can’t. The other disabled people can’t. And when the ambassador relents and lets you stand in the aisle with your stroller, please have the good social skills to not roll your eyes and act put out when someone in a wheelchair needs to use the washroom or exit the train before you do. Christine Smith Festival experience not reflective of Durham Rachelle Alexander attended last month’s Boots and Hearts country music festival in Clarington for the same reasons as every other patron: fun, friendship and good music. Instead, the Toronto woman said she endured three days of racist commentary, inappropriate conduct from some fellow festival-goers and the display of confed- erate flags, an abiding symbol of southern U.S. racial division. Ms. Alexander, 27, is black. But that surely doesn’t define her. She’s a lifelong country music lover, grew up in a multicultural society and had looked for- ward to spending the weekend in Durham Region with friends to hear some of their favourite country music artists. Said police officers at the site brushed off her concerns, and few fellow festival-goers, apparently, had either the courage or the awareness to challenge the racist com- ments and conduct. Republic Live, which organized and presented the weekend-long concert, responded to Ms. Alexander’s complaint and say they are considering her request for the organization to adopt a zero-tol- erance policy towards racist commentary and symbols at future events. That would be a great start. But the larger, more appalling issue at play here is that such overt intolerance, even if fuelled by drunkenness, continues to occur in Canada today. There is no victory for those who took part in targeting Ms. Alexander with their comments and conduct. There is no achievement in making one- self seem bigger by making another feel smaller. There is no place anywhere in our society today for such mindless intoler- ance. Music is one of the few things in our lives that universally binds us, that allows us to share in a simple, common pleasure. The notes resonate within us and the lyrics stir our intellect and our soul. In that context, the racism allegedly experienced by Ms. Alexander is especially repugnant. We call on Republic Live to take Ms. Alex- ander up on the request to develop and implement a policy that addresses racism at its shows; we also agree with the notion that the confederate flag should be banned from future Canadian shows given its his- toric -- some would say hateful -- symbol- ism. Durham Region remains home to a diverse and peaceful citizenry, made up of people of all faiths, all colours and all cul- tures. Ms. Alexander’s experience, though upsetting and hurtful, is not a reflection of our home, but of a very few who still har- bour outdated, ignorant views. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Two weeks goes by in a flash School is back in full swing and summer vacations have come to an end. I recently finished a two-week vacation in August and wanted to share a few tidbits from being away from the office for 14 days. • Casa Loma is a hidden jewel in Toron- to. My wife and I spent a day at the castle built by Henry Pellatt. Mr. Pellatt’s story is almost as remarkable as the castle he built. Mr. Pellatt invested in the railroad and elec- tricity and he was on top of the world in the 1900s. His fortune didn’t last long however, and he had to leave Casa Loma and sell many of his possessions to stay afloat, living for a while in his former chauffeur’s house. Casa Loma is a great way to spend a day but be warned, there are stairs after stairs, after stairs to climb. • Instead of driving to Casa Loma, we took the TTC which is definitely the better way to go when you have to do anything in Toronto. The trip to the castle, including parking at the LRT in Scarborough, cost us $16. And the new subway cars running north and south on the TTC line are very spacious, open, airy and a pleasure to ride. • Canada’s Wonderland, while still a great attraction, is too busy for my taste now. During one day we spent the morning in the waterpark and only got on five rides by the time we left at 9 p.m. • I spent a lot of my two weeks behind the wheel and witnessed a lot of bad driv- ing, from failing to signal to drivers trying to merge their way into a lane by force if they have to. One trip from Bathurst and Lakeshore Boulevard to Bowmanville took almost two hours because of the traffic and construction. • Somehow only a few of my to-do items got done during those two weeks, proving again two weeks isn‘t long enough. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston didn’t take long to get back into his role following his vacation. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Holidays Lunch bag let-down As I write this, ‘back to school’ week is only days away. As always, you can smell it coming in the cool, damp mornings that herald the approach of autumn and the death knell of summer. It’s a bittersweet, oddly seminal time. I’ve not been ‘back to school’ in more than 30 years and yet, when that brisk autumn air hits my nose, I still get enor- mously powerful flashbacks from that first day back. The new clothes that your mom picked out and that you desperately hoped would at least place you on the periphery of cool. The new binders, paper and pens. The requisite clear plastic pack of Lauren- tian pencil crayons. I suppose nowadays one would have to throw in the new backpack. No one I knew ever wore a backpack to school. Nobody I knew even owned one, unless their dad was a Scout leader or a Vietnam vet. We didn’t seem to need them. In fact, in my elementary years, I remember most of us running, pushing, hopping and skipping our way to school carrying nothing at all. Not even lunch. We had a strange thing back then called stay-at-home moms. I know it must seem like I grew up on Venus but nobody -- and I mean nobody -- ate lunch at the school. We all went home, ate lunch, watched the ‘Flintstones’ then ran, pushed, hopped and skipped our way back to school where we still had what felt like an hour to happily shove, pummel, tackle and abrade each other in a million politi- cally incorrect ways, before heading in to play the recorder and learn how to say ‘Voila Paul, Voila Katrine’ from a film strip projector. Lunch at home was so pervasive, so rou- tine, that I have a visceral memory of the only time I ever had to eat lunch in the classroom. My mom must’ve had some- thing huge come up, like a scheduled sur- gery, birth or subpoena to appear before the House un-American Activities Com- mittee, because on this one day she sent me and, I can only assume, my other sib- lings, to school with these weird things called brown bags. I remember the day was rainy and cold and when the lunch bell rang and everyone else pounded out into the hall to tear into their rubber boots and raincoats, I stayed seated at my desk. Back then, in the days before buses and nervous parents hovering in cars, nothing emp- tied faster than a school at lunchtime. The kids poured out of the place and pushed, hopped and skipped their way home to hot bowls of soup, the ‘Flintstones’ and, of course, a mom. Sitting there in that empty classroom, the cold, November rain pelting against the windows (windows that actually opened far enough for a kid to fall out, by the way) I felt, as my TV hero Rob Petrie would say, like the last living cell in a dead body. There wasn’t even a teacher in the room with me. They were all in the staff room drinking martinis. I think you could do that back then. Anyway, I hated it. The great irony is that, years later, when I was, for all intents and purposes a stay- at-home dad, otherwise known as a self- unemployed actor, my own kids never wanted to come home for lunch. All their pals stayed at school to eat. So it was, as it still is, just me, sitting by myself, watching the ‘Flintstones’ and eating cookies. I guess some things never change. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 10 Top Canadian Universities Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll A Toronto resident has filed a human rights complaint following last month’s Boots and Hearts festival in Clarington, saying she was a victim of racism. Here’s a sample of the discus- sion that took place on Facebook: The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has gone viral. What do you think of it? du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP Julie M. Davis: This all should have been dealt with while she was still at Boots and Hearts and not waited to air all this on media when the con- certs have ended, I know if I was that offended I would of taken care of it right there and then. The InBox As summer ends and the classroom bell rings in the new school year, over 800,000 students across Ontario are once again riding the bus to school. That is why CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) is reminding drivers to slow down in school zones and watch for flashing bus lights. CAA SCO tips for drivers: • Always check for children on the sidewalk, driveway and behind your vehicle before backing up. • Remember to slow down in school zones. • Be ready to stop at all times as children may dart out between parked vehicles. • Try to make eye contact with children waiting to cross the street. • Come to a complete stop for school buses when red lights are flashing. CAA SCO tips for students: • Stop before stepping onto the road. • Look in all directions before crossing the street. • Listen for traffic. • Walk, don’t run, across the road. CAA SCO bus safety rules: • Be at the bus stop ahead of time. • Stand back from the edge of the road. • Hold the hand rail when boarding or exit- ing the bus. • Keep feet out of the aisle to avoid tripping others. • Keep your head and arms inside the bus. • Always follow the bus driver’s instructions.

Unfortunately, there are racist people and yes, they should have DEFINITELY been rep- rimanded for their disgusting actions! People are like this everywhere. We need to hold the “indi- viduals” accountable! Tiphanie Dunlop: I’m still stuck on the police suggesting she call 911 should anything else happen. What are they there for then?? Clearly not taking the situation seriously. Mark Stewart: Any confederate flag is a sign of hate....it condones slavery and condemns African Americans.. Chantel Chambers: Absolutely dis- gusted that there are still ignorant, bigoted people out there. Nancy Henry: That’s awful! Disgust- ing behaviour. Why didn’t someone speak up? Cindy Cummins Meghu: You’re at a 3 day concert with booze drugs music. She seemed to have a lot of racist things happen to her in this 3 day span. If so offended, why not leave? She also did not complain to park officials. You cannot control the asses... Err masses. I’m not condon- ing the behavior but it is to be expected that you will have run ins with morons at these types of events. Kaylani Schoolfield: Being a South- ern American (living in Canada), I’m still trying to figure out WHY the flag would be at a music festival in Ontario.... The confederate flag is not a symbol of slavery and racism. For southern Americans it is simply a symbol of Southern pride. That said, I don’t understand why anyone would treat an indi- vidual so horribly. Their behavior was absolutely disgusting. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 4 8 P Raise your hand if you likefreestuff A DIVISION OF Follow us at facebook.com/winemscontests for great contests and your chance towin! win’em big,win’em little andeverything in-between ENTER NOW travelalerts.ca/10yearsoftravelalerts sponsored by No purchase necessary.

The area spans 77 hectares or 190 acres. It offers visitors an escape from urban life, providing opportunities for fishing, bird watching and walking. The Samuel Wilmot Nature Area has a network of trails, which span 3.5 kilometres. Located within the nature area is Wilmot Creek, which tra- verses the property north to south. The wetland is provincially significant and identified as an Area of Natural and Scien- tific Interest. The nature area is home to an abundance of wildlife, some of which migrate through and others that make it their permanent habitat. At any given time, visitors can see a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The Wilm- ot Creek Marsh is home to some unique species of birds such as the Virginia rail. Visitors have also been treated to some rare sight- ings of the trumpeter swan, great horned owl and the peregrine falcon. Wilmot Creek is one of Ontario’s premier sport fishing destinations. “The area has some of the best fishing in Ontario,” says Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster. It is known for its abundance of fish, including salmon and trout, and it attracts a large number of anglers during the open seasons for both fish. Visitors are also treated to a variety of events scheduled throughout the year. They can take part in bird showings, tree planting and a scavenger hunt for families planned for Oct. 4. The nature area is managed by an advi- sory committee appointed by the Munici- pality of Clarington. “Our committee of dedicated vol- unteers is committed to maintain- ing and enhancing the nature area for the enjoyment of the public and to providing oppor- tunities to learn more about the natural world around us,” says Brian Reid, SWNA committee chairman. Visitors should come to Clarington to experience nature at its best.

Being able to do this makes me feel prepared for my job.” The grueling five-stage course is completed while wearing full fire gear. It includes carrying 42 pounds of fire hose up six flights of stairs, pulling a hose- line 75 feet and hitting a tar- get with a stream of water and dragging a 165-pound manne- quin backwards a distance of 100 feet. Ms. Omnes prepared for the competition with strength training and by simulating some of the events. “I would drag a dummy around or pull a weighted sled,” she says, noting Toronto Fire Services helped by offering up use of its towers. Now she and her teammates are gearing up to compete at the Firefit Canadian champi- onships on Sept. 13 and 14 in Longueuil, Quebec. Ms. Omnes has been with Pickering Fire Services for three years, says she loves the job. “I really like the idea of help- ing people and I enjoy the physical element of it,” she says. “I also love being a jack- of-all-trades. Firefighting is only one slice of it. We go to medical calls, we do work in the community...it’s an amaz- ing job.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 4 16 P Pickering Fire Services enters provincial contest for first time Celia Klemenz / Metroland Fun on stilts PICKERING -- James Matthews, of Oshawa, had a little help from museum interpreters Nick Shatalow, left, and Eamon McNeely on Aug. 21 when he and his family took in Kids in the Village at the Pickering Museum Village.

Fire basketball hosting fall tryouts at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering St. Mary grad Dillon Campbell breaks Laurier rushing record TORONTO -- Dillon Campbell, last sea- son’s OUA leading rusher, broke a Wil- frid Laurier single-game rushing record by posting 293 yards and two touchdowns in the Golden Hawks 53-17 season-open- ing win over the Toronto Varsity Blues on Monday night. Campbell, a Whitby native and gradu- ate of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering, broke the Laurier record on a 98-yard major midway through the fourth quarter, pulling away from two Blues defenders to enter the record books. “I did actually (think Dillon could per- form like this) because as good as Dillon was last year, our offensive line is that much better this year,” said head coach Michael Faulds on his star back’s performance in the win. “Coach Daymond has done a great job with the offensive line and Coach Lynch with our running backs has done a phenomenal job too. It’s not like we have a one-headed backfield. They can’t just key on Dillon because Fracas can throw the ball to some really good weapons as well so we’re a pretty balanced offence.” With Campbell sitting just shy of 200 yards for the game midway through the fourth quarter, the fourth year back entered the record books in grand fash- ion. He broke through the Toronto defence and pulled away for the score to eclipse the previous record of 263 yards held by Nick Cameron. “I honestly just ran, I didn’t know,” said Campbell when asked if he was aware of the record. “Until the coaches on the side- lines told me I had this many yards, I just did my thing and ran.” Campbell finished the game just 57 yards shy of the all-time OUA record held by York’s Andre Durie. Last season Laurier posted a 1-7 record, their worst mark since 2002. ©2014 Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc.2014 Sprinter 2500 144” Cargo Van shown, national MSRP $39,900 including $3,000 cash discount. *Cash purchase price of $40,196 includes total price of $43,196, after a $3,000 cash incentive.Taxes extra. **Lease offers based on the 2014 Sprinter 2500 144” Cargo Van available only through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services (MBFS) on approved credit for a limited time.Lease example based on $465 per month for 60 months which includes a $3,000 discount off total price.Down payment or equivalent trade of $3,296 and applicable taxes due at lease inception.Lease example based on the total price of $43,196 which includes MSRP of $39,900,discount of $3,000 and all applicable fees (Freight/PDI $2,695,admin fee $395 EHF tire fee $25,filters and batteries fee $0.50,air conditioning tax $100,OMVIC fee $5,PPSA $75.15).Licence, insurance,registrationandtaxesareextra.$3,000discountisonlyavailablefor2014SprinterCargo Vans.Totalobligationis$46,773whichincludesanendofleaseresidualvalueof$15,567.Dealermaysellforless.Offersmaychangewithoutnoticeandcannotbecombinedwithanyotheroffers.13yearsofscheduledmaintenancecoversthefirst 3 factory-scheduledmaintenanceservicesor 3 years,whichevercomesfirst.Scheduledmaintenanceintervalformodel year 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the earlier of 1 year or 25,000 km.The specific maintenance services included are as described in the applicable Owner’s/Operator’s Manual and Service/Maintenance Booklet.Offer is non-transferable,non-refundable and has no cash value.Only applicable on lease and finance offers.Certain limitations apply.See Mercedes-Benz Durham dealer for details Offers end on Sept.30,2014.Offers may be withdrawn without notice.
