NEWSPAPERS
Heather Doran Fitzpatrick turned her personal
loss into a story of hope and healing for children.
After losing her father and mother to separate illnesses, the 1990 Baker High School graduate wrote a
children's book, titled "The Day I Saw A Dragonfly,"
to help young people cope with loss and to remember
their loved ones are always with them. Fitzpatrick,
whose parents lived on Seneca Street for more than
30 years, will return to Baldwinsville for a book
signing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday May 16 at
Shamballa Café & Coffee Roasters at 34 Oswego St.
in Baldwinsville.

Dave Parton spent April 25 in
search of a tire repair place.
The Charlotte Street resident
was one of 37 victims in Baldwinsville whose vehicles had been vandalized, waking up that Saturday
morning with one or more tires
slashed.
"I noticed a News 10 Now truck
parked in front of my house. I then
saw my neighbor Frank speaking
with someone near his car, which
was also parked in front of the
house. When I walked outside
to find out what was going on, I
saw that two of his tires had been
slashed," Parton said. "I then
went into my backyard to check
on my car, not expecting to find
any problems, and discovered
that one of my tires had also been
slashed."
The Baldwinsville Police Department wasted no time in getting to the bottom of the case,
quickly determining a couple of
teenagers were responsible for the
thousands of dollars in damages.
"I was very impressed by the
work of the Baldwinsville Police,
notably officer Chrissy Allen.
She was very professional and efficient during the course of investigation, taking my statement and
listening to my concerns. It was
much appreciated," Parton said.
Police Chief Michael Lefanchek
said the case was solved within 36
hours of receiving the first complaints and the department will
be arresting two individuals. The
arrests are being held up due to
the amount of paperwork the department needs to collect such as
victims' statements and estimates
for all the damages.

How has chiropractic care improved the health of your family?
Our Families Speak...
I have been coming to Upstate Chiropractic since April 2008. I could
hardly walk at that time. My health has improved 100% since I started
chiropractic care. Dr. Randy Boivin has been a God send in my life, a great
chiropractor, and a wonderful person as well.
I own a business and I have never seen such a wonderful staff of people.
Everyone has been great. Dr. Randy is very friendly and always takes time to
answer all of my questions. He attends to every detail.
I am very pleased and plan to continue chiropractic care. I would definitely
recommend Upstate Chiropractic to anyone.

OPINION
Editorial
Make your vote count
Residents can cast their votes either in favor of or against
the proposed 2009-10 Baldwinsville Central School District
budget of $93,669,512 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday May 19 in
the auditorium of Baker High School.
This year's budget has a 1.03 percent increase in spending
over last year and a tax levy (amount district residents pay in
property taxes) of $46,780,000, which hasn't changed since last
year
Major items affecting this year's budget include a decrease
in staff (30 positions were reduced to part-time or eliminated),
an increase in health insurance costs and an increase in
spending through BOCES. A separate proposition to purchase
10 buses for the 116-bus fleet at a cost of $980,000 will also be
up for vote. The total local cost for the buses after state aid
will be $275,000.
In addition to budget items, residents will have the opportunity to select three board of education members from a
group of six candidates from our community
This week's Baldwinsville Messenger features a profile on
each of the candidates for residents to review and to gain a
better understanding of the candidates.
One issue some community members and candidates say is
affecting the district is tenure for incoming district teachers.
Are our teachers being treated fairly? More importantly,
are our children receiving the best education from the most
qualified candidates?
To better understand what the Baldwinsville Board of Education does and the current board, residents can attend the
Monday May 18 board meeting held at 7 p.m. at Durgee Junior
High School, which is the day before the vote. You can also
check out PAC-B TV on channel 98 this weekend (for schedule
information, see page 22) to watch the budget public hearing,
which was held Tuesday.
Make your decision based on facts rather than on what you
assume to be true and get educated about Baldwinsville's education system.

From the legislature
Road improvements coming this summer
The Onondaga County
Legislature held its monthly
session on Tuesday May 5. On
the agenda was this year's plan
for road, bridge and drainage
improvements. The $13.5 million plan does not completely
catch us up on all that was
deleted from last year's plan,
but it gets us closer.
Included in this year's plan
are several local projects that
will be completed through this
summer and the fall. Cold Mix
reconstruction will be done
on Church Road, Fenner Road
and old Route 31. Hot Mix
reconstruction is planned for
River Road from Potter Road
to Old Lamson Road and East
Mud Lake Road from Route 370
to the County Park Entrance.
In addition, there is a major
drainage project in the plan
for Lamson and Plainville
roads. That project was originally scheduled to be done in
two phases, but it will now be
completed in this construction
year. This project has been
in the works for several years
and I am happy to see this one
move forward as I am sure the
residents in this area are.
I would like to welcome

uninsured, or under-insured,
this card is for you. As kids are
graduating from college and

parent's insurance plans, they
should get one of these cards.
Cards are available at local
pharmacies or you can an me at the Legislature (435-2070)
and I would be happy to send
you one.
Another item to remember
-
aboard several of our volunteer firefighters from the area
as deputy county fire coordinators for hazardous materials. They are Tony McIntyre,
Courtney Rutherford and Greg
Tiner. All are from the Baldwinsville area. Congratulations and welcome aboard.
Other than this month's session, I would like to remind the
residents of Onondaga County
about ProAct, the county's
free discount prescription
drug card. The ProAct card is
available to anyone at no cost
and with no registration. The
ProAct card allows you to get
discounted rates for prescriptions at pharmacies throughout Onondaga County and
across the United States. Since
the program began in the Fall
of 2007, residents of Onondaga
County have saved more than
$2 million from the over-
this week is the Northeast
Regional CARP tournament,
right here in Baldwinsville.
Again this year, the Red Mill

"We basically are just getting all of the paperwork in
order, that way we can arrest
them at one time on all of the
charges and we will not have
to add additional charges later
on," Lefanchek said.
The chief said the department was able to solve the
case quickly because of the
department's relationship with
the public.
"[The officers] on this case
worked incredibly hard on
the investigation," LeFanchek
said. "It was only because our
officers have the knowledge
and rapport with our local
people that we were able to
solve it."
Lefanchek added that the
volume of damage resulting
from the crimes were out of
the ordinary for Baldwinsville.
Nevertheless, the department
handled it as quickly and efficiently as possible.
"The officers were very
upset this happened," he said.
"Once the first reports were
received, we began formulating an investigative strategy,
discussing leads and suspects,
conducting interviews and
gathering evidence."
Once the department finishes compiling the paperwork,
two teenagers, who have only
been identified as a 16-yearold and 15-year-old, will be
charged. The chief anticipated
making the arrests sometime
this week.
Parton said some jail time
should serve as a lesson to the
culprits, as well as reimbursement to the victims.
"It is distressing that people
of such low intelligence and
misplaced anger are walking
the streets of our village," Parton said. "Let's hope the judge
doesn't go too easy on them."

it is true that graduates from
Central NewYork colleges are being
warned about Baldwinsville's hiring
and tenure practices. Our district
has been following an unwritten
policy of avoiding hiring young men
and women who graduated from
Baker High School, no matter how
good their record is. I have spokisie
with several young B'ville grads who
had outstanding college and student
teaching experiences and evaluations who we ignored or turned
away by the district I understand
that many people are opposed to the
concept of tenure. I fully understand
their reservations, but in the realm
of public education, tenure is necessary. Tenure protects experienced
quality teachers from unfair firings
that might otherwise occur.VVithout
tenure, experienced teachers could
be "let go" by the district in favor of
younger teachers who would work
for a much lower rate.Often the dol.,
kir trumps quality and experience.
Experienced teachers could also be
released so that iin administrator
could hire "old buddies" as replacements, cronyism at its worst. Some
would argue dm Birille's record of

that of other &stria's. .
Technically that may be true, but
the statistics don't take into account
those who have been told that if they
resigned instead of not being given
tenure, they would be sent on their
way with a good letter of recommendation. Tenure should only be
granted to high quality professionals,
but 13aldwinsville's record of abusing the system is well known and is

As an educator, I am aware of
this issue. I come into contact with
student teachers and their advisers
on a regular basis.The fact that this
issue is known beyond our community indicates that there is a real
problem. I would take a closer look
at district tenure practices, compare

I have heard this concern raised

in a position to judge the validity of
this claim but it may merit some
investigation since if it were true, it
would have ramifications for the district. I know the district just tenured
approximately two dozen teachers
at the last board meeting. I do not
know if that is normal or abnormal.
I know the district has a three-year
mentoring program for new teachers, which was also touted at the

the question. I do not have a position regarding tenure for teachers in

Low morale among both corn-

the integrity of the board's decision

toward dissenting viewpoints from
both staff and community members.

School District?
The greatest challenge our district is facing, due to a reduction
in long-term state and federal aid,
is maintaining quality programs and
facilities along with retaining the
essential number of administrators
and teachers. To address this, 1 will
work to ensure the district continues
to closely analyze and prioritize all
areas of expense to include personnel, instruction, facilities, technology,
transportation and athletics, and to
reduce spending if at all possible.We
also need to look at creative ways of
supplementing revenues and stretching our dollars in order to maintain
the outstanding programs the district
has.Another area in which the district
continues to improve is communication with the community, I have bee
supportive of and will continue to
support initiatives to better keep the
community informed in all areas:The
communication on the recent budget
process, the capital improvement
project and the e-mail and voice notifications are excellent examples of
improvements that have been made
within the past 12 months.
Recently,the district also adopted
a form of technology in which the
community can access all of the
board of education meeting documents on-line. All of these initiatives
support better communication, accessibility and accountability for the

Bees rise to top national ranking
By Phil Blackwell
Oilidairvnycom
-At the exact moment of the
first Monday in May, Baldwinsville found itself as home to the
nation's top-ranked high school
girls lacrosse team.
According to laxpower.com ,
the Bees occupied the top spot, a
rare honor generated by an 11-0
start that also put B'ville atop
the state Class A rankings.
To celebrate, B'ville hosted Penfield Monday night at
Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium and
overcame a tight first half to
beat the Patriots 17-9.

This was a duel of unbeaten
teams. Penfield, from the Section
V ranks, arrived at 8-0 and carried the no.11 state Class A rankMg. And for a while, it would
make the Bees sweat hard.
Every time B'ville pushed in
the first half, the Patriots would
provide a ready answer, staying
close enough to only be down 7-5
at halftime.
Like with so many other
opponents, though, the Bees
spent the second haV wearing

the Cougars get four runs off

Somehow, B'ville shook this

John Feola had three of the
Bees' nine hits, including a

Corcoran down the stretch.

Again, B'ville started fast,
with four runs in the first inning. In fact, it scored in each
of the first five innings, giving
Jeff Schuster enough support
as he got the win with relief
help from Riley and Redmond.
At the plate, Feola continued
to stay hot, with a double and
three RBIs. Zbikoweki drove in
two runs, with Watson, Harper
and Kevin Roy earning one RBI
apiece. Dubiel had the game's
only triple.
The Bees had just one real
slip-up in last Monday's game
against Fayetteville-Manlius,
yet it led to a 2-1 loss to the
Hornets.
Schuster pitched here, too,
only allowing a pair of secondinning runs. Schuster and Watson blanked F-M the rest of the
way, but all the Bees could manage was a third-inning tally and
five hits off Joe Sinopoli, who
earned the win.
Once again, B'ville's offense
could not do much on Wednesday afternoon, kept off the
board in a 7-0 loss to CiceroNorth Syracuse.
Watson pitched until the
third inning, when the Northstars used four runs (most of
them from Steve Salamone's
home run) to break the game

How will the loss of fundini affect arivate schools?
-
By Zech Lewis
newsroomecnylink.Com
The current strain of the economy is
not only affecting people, but businesses
as well. And, a wealthy business that has
been hit hard by the American economic
slowdown is education, especially public
and private colleges and universities.
A national trend is showing that college wealth and endowments are steadily
dwindling. Not only are big-name, national institutions like Harvard reporting
financial losses, but regional colleges are
as well.
Few schools are giving exact numbers,
but University of Rochester is reporting
that their endowments have dropped by 25
percent since June of this yeaz and locally,
colleges are not fairing well either.
Colgate University's Manager of Media
Communications Anthony Adomato said
that as of late October, Colgate's endowment has dropped nearly 11 percent or $75
million.
"Similar to our peer colleges and universities," Adornato said, "our endowment
has lost significantmarket value throughout
2008. A lower endowment market values
will require Colgate to, at the very least,
substantially reduce the annual growth rate
in endowment spending in 2009-10."
An endowment, which is primarily
money donated to a college, will normally
fund student scholarships, building projects, creating new academic programs and
also help to keep tuition somewhat low.
And, when endowments drop, so do these
projects and programs.
Recently, President of Colgate Rebecca
Chopp outlined her college's line of defense
against the economic downturn in two press
releases viewable on Colgate's Web site.
In what she calls "immediate measures,"
Chopp lists four ways she is planning on
combating financial issues.
First, Colgate plans to "substantially
reduce next fiscal year's operating budget
allocation to capital projects." In doing this,
they will significantly reduce renovation
and maintenance of the college.
Second, the president has asked "all
deans and vice presidents to identify five
percent savings in their operating budgets
from 2009-10." This would give Chopp an
idea of what cuts she can make without
severely impacting Colgate's "educational
mission."
Third and fourth, Chopp will now
review and approve "vacant non-faculty
positions" before there is permission for
a search. And, along with strict hiring approval, the press release states that, "while
Colgate remains committed to offering
appropriate and competitive compensation, we are now in a time where we must
be prudent with our resources even in
compensation."
Cazenovia College, like its Colgate
neighbor, has been reducing costs to deal
with the economy as well. Although Cazenovia did not mention hiring freezes, Cazenovia College President Mark J. Tierno
did mention reduction of travel, cutting
significant purchases and holding off on

The Meaning of Populism in Difficult Times
By Richard C. lannuzzi
The rise of populism - when ordinary people rise up against their
society's elite - seems to be an explanation and a defense for almost anything
these days.
In political circles, the "left' credits a
popular uprising for sweeping Barack
Obama into the White House, while
conservatives on the right see a populist
movement rising up against the new
administration, big government and
crushing taxes.
On Wall Street, populist rage is used
to justify the anger over bonuses paid
with federal bailout money while that
same rage is why thousands tossed copies of the stimulus legislation overboard
at Boston-Tea-Party-like events.
Populists on the right want to negate
union contracts; populists on the left
want to negate the contracts of top
executives.
Anger, rage, wrath and fury seem to
be the order of the day as Americans
try to cope with an economy that has
eliminated hundreds of thousands of
jobs, evaporated retirement savings and
crushed the dreams of so many. Mass
enthusiasm for striking out against
someone — anyone — seems very appealing.
How much of that came into play last
month, when Jiverly Wong walked into
the American Civic Association building in Binghamton and took the lives of
13 innocent people before committing
suicide?
In a rambling letter to a local television station, Wong spoke of losing his
job and struggling to find employment
because he struggled with weak English
skills. He claimed the police were
harassing him and that the governmentfunded unemployment system cheated
him.
Was this senseless act symptomatic
of the current anger in society? Was it
populist rage giving rise to violent behavior? And, what about the gruesome
killing of five children by their father
in Washington, or the killing of three
police officers in a domestic dispute in
Pittsburgh? Both of these horrifying
acts of violence occurred within days of
the Binghamton tragedy.
Do these violent acts reflect how individuals too often respond to far-reaching changes in society that they just can't
understand?
If so, then it's arguable that populist
outrage against changes demanded during the civil rights movement led to the
murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 41
years ago. Or, that the populist support for Robert E Kennedy as he spoke
for the growing discontent for the war
in his time and the injustices in society
led to his assassination only two short
months later.
For some, blaming populist rage
might be a plausible explanation. It certainly answers nagging questions about
"why" and allows guilt to be spread
broadly — and diluted neatly.
But, fortunately, there's another side,
including the historic events following
the assassinations of Martin Luther King
and Robert Kennedy. The social gains
realized have not been equaled since.
Overwhelmingly, people — populism
— responded in ways that affirmed the
lives of those great leaders.
Richard C. lannumi is president of the
600,000-member New York State United
Teachers
In the-same way, the good people of
Binghamton — and around the state
and country — responded with caring,
sympathy and understanding to this
most recent tragedy. Their generosity
and support reaffirm the lives of those
lost - immigrants trying to better their
lives to become fully productive players
in the American dream and a teacher,
a NYSUT member, who was trying to
help these hard working individuals
become part of that American dream.
In a democracy populism is a powerful tool. It can have devastating results
or it can define us in ways that make us
proud..

We've said it before.
Civic responsibility does not simply mean voting. It
means become educated about your elected officials and.
local municipalities. It means speaking up when people
and boards aren't doing what you elected them to do.
On May 19, all of our area school districts will put their
budget up for vote, as per New York State Law. As taxpayers well know, this budget affects not only the education
of their children, but their pocketbooks as well. During
the next few weeks, districts are holding public information sessions about the budget and the variety of factors
that affect it this year, including the economic situation,
the state budget and the federal stimulus bill—not to
mention local issues unique to each district.
Last week, at least two school districts in the area
is pertinent that the voting public gets educated before
pulling the lever next month.
Call your local district to find out when the next information night will be held. Some districts even have
call-in shows on local television and radio stations about
the budget.
Don't just look at the tax increase headlines in the local
papers. Why is that increase necessary? School officials
and board members are prepared to answer questions

of the public attended aside from media and school officials. With such a crucial vote just around the corner, it
from the public (it is their job, after all). So ask them.
Find out how much state aid the school is getting this
year and how much money is allotted to them from the
federal government. Are programs being cut? Was spending looked at
carefully?
There are a lot of questions that need to be asked and
without the answers, it is irresponsible to show up at
your designated polling place- whether you're voting
for or against the budget.
As members of the public, we have a responsibility
to hold our leaders accountable and ensure that they
are doing the best job possible. In the case of the school
board, it's providing the best education possible for our
children—not an easy task.
So, show up and educate yourself. Then on May 19,
you can make the decision based on facts rather than on
what you assume to be true about this year's budget.

The new buses, to replace the oldest and most expensive buses to maintain / repair,
include a 65-passenger conventional bus, a full-size flexible-seating wheelchair bus
and an 81-passenger transit style bus. The purchase would come from the 2007 Bus

The East Syracuse Free Library is requesting a $55,000 increase over last year's
$80,000 that voters approved. The increase would result in a $135,000 annual budget.
Under education law, the amount of taxes that voters approve for public library purposes remains the same until changed by further vote. The Minoa Free Library, which

Baker High School's environmental club completed three
projects over Earth Week (April
21 to 25) to create a cleaner, more
earth-friendly environment in
Baldwinsville. Members finished a household battery collection that began at the school
in December. The club collected
187 pounds of batteries from
staff and students and delivered
them to the Onondaga Resource
Recovery Agency (OCRRA) to be
recycled and disposed of safely.
Due to the club's efforts, several hundred students as well as
staff members and administrators signed a recycling pledge
at the high school during Earth
Week. The pledge hangs in the
school's main lobby and out
lines specific actions students
and staff can take to protect the
environment.
On April 25, the environmental club participated in OCRRAs
countywide Earth Day Cleanup.
A group of 17 students cleaned
in and around Tannery Creek
in a section that runs along the
district's main campus. The
group collected 15 bags of trash,
17 tires, more than 1,000 pounds
of scrap metal and other items
such as a shopping cart and fire
extinguishers. Students who
participated in the clean up,
led by the club's advisor Mark
Penhollow, were: Jamie Aloi,
Courtney Chapin, Vicky Crumb,
Julie Damiano, John Krisanda,

Get out and support your
community this summer
"Saturday in the park, I
think it was the Fourth of
July"
Most of us know this song,
but what are you doing this
Saturday? Perhaps cooking out
on your grill, maybe planning
a night out with your special
someone, or just relaxing at
home watching a movie. What
about the Fourth of July (pssst
... there's fireworks at Paper
Mill Island)? What does summer mean to you?
To many, summer is time
to enjoy family outings, enjoy
the great outdoors (yard work
- there's always yard work)
and community events. Maybe
you haven't had the opportunity to participate in any local
events yet. Well, if you haven't
had the chance, this summer
is your opportunity to partake
in festivities. There are plenty
of activities planned this year,
right here in Baldwinsville.
We all have felt the effects
of the recent economic situation and there is no better time
than now to support and take
advantage of our local merchants, hospitality services,
community organizations
and, most importantly, our not
for profit organizations. The
great thing about the local
events is that the costs are
typically much less expensive
than traveling outside the area
and your money benefits the
local economy. It's not just
about the events, it's also about
the wonderful businesses and
resources around town as well.
Take a walk through the
park on a Saturday, have lunch
at one of the local restaurants,
get your oil changed or stay
over night in one of our hotels.
The possibilities within the
area are limitless if you just
take a look in your own backyard. There is something for
everyone and contrary to what
some say, "There's nothing to
do here," there is a lot to do
here if you look and get out
and participate.
At our Wingate by Wyndham Hotel and our Quaker
Steak & Lube Restaurant in
Van Buren, we are both proud
to support the Baldwinsville
Community and partner with
various community events and
businesses. We have a signifi-
cant amount of travelers from
out of town that often look for
someplace to eat or relax, or a
place to buy medications etc.
We always make it a point to
promote Baldwinsville and its
businesses. Looking for something to do with the kids this
summer close to home? Why
not make an overnight at the
Wingate and enjoy the pool.
Visit syracusewingate.com and
click packages and specials to
see what there is to offer.
There is one resource in particular that is all about promoting the local community and
commerce and it's the Greater
Baldwinsville Chamber of
Commerce. If you're not a
member of the chamber you're
missing out. The chamber has
so much to offer its members.
Each month networking events
such as luncheons, after hours
and before hours are held at
various businesses within the
community. This is a great way
to connect with fellow members, meet new contacts and
visit great locations within
Baldwinsville. You don't have
to be a business or a business
owner necessarily to become
a member, come enjoy the
monthly networking or volunteer at one of the chambers
community events, come out
and be a participant, after all.
these are all for the good of
the community. For example,
the Blessing of the Fleet event
is coming up - a perfect opportunity for you to enjoy your
community. Tickets are now on
sale, and you can contact any
chamber director or the chamber office to find out more
information.
The point is there is so
much to take advantage of
within Baldwinsville and if
you don't, for whatever reason, it's not too late to start
supporting our community.
If you're unsure of all of the
great things B'ville has to offer
check out the chamber Web
site at baldwinsvillechamber
coin and the village Web site at
baldwinsville.org . So go do the
right thing, don't mind your
own business but enjoy all
Baldwinsville has to offer.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®
Ensure Quality Improvements with a BPI-Accredited Contractor
M
any New Yorkers are making energy
efficiency improvements in their
home to save money and take advantage of the latest rebates and incentives in the
marketplace.
The first and most important step to saving
energy in your home is to schedule an energy
assessment through New York's Home
Performance with ENERGY STAR° Program.
Administered by the New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA), this Program has already helped
more than 24,000 households save more than
$16,800,000 in energy costs annually.
Using qualified contractors accredited by
the Building Performance Institute (BPI), the
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR
Program provides a comprehensive assessment
of your home to determine where you're losing
energy while also checking for certain health
or safety features. Only BPI-Accredited
contractors can provide you with incentives
through NYSERDA's Program. If you are
counting on NYSERDA's financial incentives
to complete your project, be sure to verify
that your contractor is participating in
NYSERDA's Home Performance with
ENERGY STAR Program by logging on to
www.GetEnergySmartorg or calling
contractors meet high standards, that the work
scope is reviewed, and, in some instances, the
work is inspected to ensure the job is completed
properly.
During the assessment, the participating
contractor will test the home for air leakage
using a blower door and will look for opportunities to improve the home's insulation and
overall building envelope. The windows, appliances, and lighting will be assessed. The contractor also will test combustion appliances such
as heating equipment, ovens, and water heaters
to make sure dangerous combustion gases like
carbon monoxide are not leaking into the home.
In several cases, life threatening carbon monoxide levels have been identified and immediately
addressed by a BPI- Accredited contractor.
A
fter the assessment, the contractor will
provide a report with recommended
health and safety and energy-efficiency
improvements, as well as the cost of making
those improvements. The contractor will also
identify the financial incentives available
W
Only participating
BPI-Accredited contractors
can provide you with
incentives through
NYSERDA's Program.
If you want detailed advice on ways to
save energy in your home, consider having a
professional energy assessment. Many experts
agree that it is best to hire a trained professional who is certified by an independent credentialing organization such as BPI to conduct a
complete assessment.
I
n addition to assessing a home's energy
efficiency, participating BPI-Accredited
contractors may install recommended
improvements, subcontract the work, or
refer the customer to another BPI-accredited,
participating contractor. For quality assurance
purposes, participating contractors are subject
to random third-party inspection of their
projects to ensure that their work adheres to
industry standards and equipment is properly
installed. Customers can be assured that their

1..hope that children that have
experienced the loss of a loved
one or beloved pet will carry on
our tradition of the dragonfly
in order to keep their loved
one close to their heart. It has
brought peace and happiness to
my family, and I hope it can do
the same for everyone.
Why do you think reading is
important for children?
Reading is very important
because it awakens the imagination. An outstanding imagination can write amazing stories.
