The Marinet Crescent residents in Picker- ing’s West Shore Boulevard neighbourhood live in a home that backs onto the south side of Hwy. 401, Bayly Street and CN Rail tracks. The scene was different when they moved to the area 25 years ago; the tracks now handle more GO trains, and both Bayly Street and Hwy. 401 have been widened. “It’s 16 lanes and still, here we are,” said Lois Kemp, a resident for 35 years.

The Ministry of Transportation held an infor- mation meeting on the propos- al for a 670-metre noise barrier last week. “I nearly fell off my chair,” Ms. Kemp said. Hazel Mullan and Gord Cart- er have been fighting it as well. “We’ve been doing this for 35 years,” Ms. Mullan said. Richard Holborn, Pickering’s division head of municipal property and engineering, said in an interview the City met with the Ministry of Transpor- tation in September, 2005 and January, 2006 about a possible noise barrier in the area. The MTO conducted a tech- nical feasibility study, which recorded an average of 70 deci- bels, he said. “I think 60 is what (the MTO) considers acceptable,” he said. Mr. McLean, who attend- ed the public meeting, said the study on the Rougemount Drive area indicated the aver- age noise was 72 decibels. Although Marinet Cres- cent residents agree Rouge- mount Drive deserves some help, they feel they deserve the same, especially living in the Pickering homes closest to Hwy. 401. The MTO was unable to pro- vide answers to questions by deadline. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley is helping the residents plead their case to the MTO, and said the MTO should pay all of the costs should a barrier be constructed, since Hwy. 401 and the GO train are both provincial. “It really comes down to responsibility,” she said. Mr. McLean’s patience has almost run out. “This my last kick at the can,” he said. “If I don’t get a sound barrier, I’m going to move.” Staff will also get involved in the request and Mr. Holborn thinks the City has a viable case, as long as the Region of Durham agrees to the request, since Bayly Street is regional. A package, including a petition from 25 homeowners on Mari- net Crescent, will be sent to the MTO. “ If I don’t get a sound barrier, I’m going to move.

The goal is four hours for patients with uncomplicated health problems and eight hours for those with complex issues. The provincial average sits at 4.6 hours and 13.5 hours respectively. The three Lakeridge Health emergen- cy departments -- located in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry -- aren’t quite at the goal times yet, but all three fell below the provincial averages. Sue McKinnon, interim director of the emergency and critical care programs for Lakeridge Health, is optimistic that the next step will be hitting the targets. “The targets are pretty tight,” she said. “But there are strategies from the LHIN and the ministry of health that will help us get there.” Those include public education around what types of illnesses and conditions warrant an ER visit and how to find alter- native care like urgent care clinics. Ms. McKinnon also noted that while the ERs in Bowmanville and Port Perry have shorter wait times than Oshawa, all three Lakeridge sites provide equal standards of emergency care. “It’s demographics and population,” she said. “There is a larger population in Oshawa that is directly near the hospital, and that drives a lot of the visits.” For those seeking emergency care in the west end of Durham, the wait is a lit- tle longer. At Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, the most recent data puts its wait times at five hours for minor problems and 15 hours for complex cases. “We are working to improve it,” said Rouge Valley spokesman David Brazeau. “We’re usually within the average, some- times we’re above and sometimes we’re under. But, average isn’t good enough.” He said Rouge Valley is trying to bring wait times down by finding efficiencies like faster turnaround times for lab work and diagnostic imaging. Last year, the Province began gathering data on wait times in Ontario’s 128 emer- gency rooms to get a handle on how long it takes for patients to be seen, diagnosed, treated and either admitted to hospital or discharged. The data is now posted online as part of the Ontario government’s $109-million strategy to speed up ER wait times. The strategy also includes financial incentives for high-volume hospitals that are able to lower their wait times and a new website -- www.ontario.ca/health- careoptions -- that directs patients to ER alternatives like walk-in clinics. To check out ER wait times as of Octo- ber 2008, visit www.ontariowaittimes. com. HEALTH Wait times decrease at some Durham hospitals “I can read, go online, take a walk or join friends for lunch.

That former victim: 6-foot, 4-inch, 200-pound Toronto Argonaut Obed Cetoute. On Feb. 5, he and Jason Colero, the team’s manager of community rela- tions, visited St. Monica Catholic School to share their childhood expe- riences and promote standing up through Huddle Up, a bullying pre- vention program. “When I was younger I had a lot of issues, I didn’t want to listen a lot and I always wanted to fight,” Mr. Cetoute said. At age 26, he’s now in his third year as a wide receiver for the Canadian Football League squad. But, in school, the boy from Mon- treal was small and skinny, with dark skin and arms that hung almost to his knees, Mr. Cetoute said. He was teased incessantly. Although he played along at first, it bothered him. His parents were from Haiti and he grew up with four older sisters. His dad wasn’t around much and he felt he couldn’t share his feelings about being bullied with the girls in his fam- ily. “I put myself in a shell,” Mr. Cetoute said. “Deep inside it was kind of eat- ing me alive.” He kept to himself and wasn’t com- fortable sharing his feelings. While attending Central Michigan University on a football scholarship, he was bullied for being a French Canadian. “And, I have an accent,” Mr. Cetoute said. “At first, I was real irritated.” He put on his headset and listened to music so he wouldn’t have to deal with people. Some people thought he was rude, but he just didn’t want to be picked on, he said. Still, he never talked about his feelings. Mr. Cetoute encouraged students to talk about their feelings instead of keeping it inside like he did. It takes courage to talk about being bullied, Mr. Colero said. He played on his high school football team, but at 4-foot, 11-inch and 85 pounds, big- ger players picked on him. While run- ning away from some bullies, a bigger player caught him and told the others to leave him alone. That single act of anti-bullying stood out for Mr. Cole- ro. Because of that act of kindness, he showed up to practice and continued on the team. In high school, he also started working for the Argos, where he stayed even while attending uni- versity. “How do you want to be remem- bered?” he asked the students, and added someone they bully could end up becoming a surgeon who saves their life.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions ECONOMIC TURMOIL Loss of GM would hurt many To the editor: It’s funny how many people would love to see the demise of GM and the overpaid autoworker. Are we not all overpaid? Really think about that before you answer. Also remember this, if GM closes in Oshawa, which I hope it doesn’t, it will not be the employees that will suffer. Most employees at GM have worked there for 20 to 35 years at good pay. It’s all the surrounding businesses that will suffer the most. Remember cause and effect are closely related. Nicholas Grebenc Clarington CHAOS Gas prices at root of economic problems To the editor: Has any one but me noticed that when the price of a barrel of oil drops, it doesn’t drop at the pumps in the same percent- age? It really doesn’t surprise me this hap- pens, after all Imperial Oil made 20 per cent more profit in 2008 then in 2007 and I’m sure this will be another banner year for them. While a large number of people point towards the U.S. banks as being the biggest reason for this recession, I dis- agree. I do understand why the banks have contributed to the economic downfall but I believe it was the greed from oil- producing countries and retailers that started it all. In July 2008 when it suddenly cost twice as much for every one to drive anywhere, including to work, and the disposable income dwindles. The money that would have otherwise been used to buy a new fridge, TV, a trip, new house or car is now going into the gas tank simply to get to and from work. Because of this, in some cases, espe- cially in the States, it meant the differ- ence between making the mortgage pay- ment or not. Darin Carswell Clarington HARD TIMES Blame the right people for recession To the editor: As the problems increase in the auto indus- try and elsewhere, I find it incredible that people like to blame the unions for this mess. Is it the union’s fault for the recession in Japan and China? In some cases these are the same people who own businesses and were mak- ing profits in the good times from these same union people. In Durham, the dentists, pharmacies, etc., were moving into here because union mem- bers had great benefits. The union members had good wages so the clothing stores where making a good profit. It goes on and on. Now the world is in a recession but in Dur- ham it is because of those GM union peo- ple. They were greedy but not the business- es who prospered from those greedy union people. When you speak of greed, consider the teachers’ federation, who just recently talked of a strike simply because they were not being offered more than three per cent per year during a time of people losing their jobs. People -- please do not blame the union workers for a world recession. Check on the high rollers in the banks and auto man- agement with their million-dollar salaries, bonuses and private jets. Rationalize your thinking before you condemn. Lloyd Clarke Oshawa newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 6, 20096 P The waiting is the hardest part in local ERs Residents across Durham Region already know how long they have to wait when they hit the emergency room at their local hospital. Depending on the size of the facility and how close to Toronto it is, it can be a relatively short stay or one long, agoniz- ing and painful delay. The Province has come out with a report about just how long wait times are at each of its 128 hospital sites, and the numbers vary for each of the four loca- tions with emergency rooms in Dur- ham Region. The shortest average wait time for minor cases was recorded at the smallest hospital site, Lakeridge Port Perry, which clocked in at 3.1 hours. Lakeridge Health Bowmanville was next at 3.8 hours per average wait, with Lak- eridge Health Oshawa third at 4.3 hours and Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering bringing up at the rear at an even five hours. The provincial target for average wait times for minor cases is four hours, meaning Port Perry and Bowmanville beat the average, while the provincial average for the 128 sites was 4.6 hours. Oshawa was under that number while RVAP was not. As far as complex cases go, the provin- cial target time is eight hours or less and the provincial average was 13.5 hours of waiting time. Lakeridge Bowmanville scored best with a seven-hour wait time, Port Perry was second with an 8.7-hour wait, Oshawa was third at 11.2 hours and Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering trailed at 15 hours. Clearly some sites are doing much bet- ter than others in Durham. Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering sticks out for its par- ticularly poor times which are far off the targets established by the Province, and well below the averages set by the other sites in Ontario. “We are working to improve it,” Rouge Valley spokesman David Brazeau said. “But, average isn’t good enough.” Average would be a lot better than what the facility is currently achieving and is a target that staff and management should at least try to attain by the time the next report comes out. The leaders are the smaller sites, which can be proud of the service they provide. Lakeridge Port Perry and Bowmanville show numbers that are at or nearly below provincial targets and may be able to offer some tips to their larger hospi- tal brethren. Sometimes good things do come in smaller packages, at least when it comes to waiting for emergency room care. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 6, 20097 AP Fresh Organic and Gluten Free Baking Loose Leaf Tea Fair Trade Organic Coffees Lattes and Cappuccinos Soups and Sandwiches Nut Free Kitchen 25 Thickson Rd.

Durham Regional Police officers were called to a break-and-enter in progress on Broadgreen Street in Pickering last Friday at 9:35 a.m. A vehicle and two suspects were found by police. The suspects fled on foot but were caught and arrested without incident. The burgundy van they were driving had been reported stolen. Martlomeij Maslanka, 25, and Michael Ken- nedy, 23, both of no fixed address, face vari- ous charges, including: attempted break and enter into a residence; possession of property obtained by a crime over $5,000; and theft of vehicle over $5,000.

Second suspect in rash of break-ins busted DURHAM -- A second suspect has been arrest- ed for a string of break-ins at homes throughout Durham Region. Police allege two men are responsible for numerous residential break-ins. Between October 2008 and February of this year, homes in Claring- ton, Oshawa, Whitby, Brooklin and Ajax were hit by suspects who kicked in front doors, usually in the afternoon when residents weren’t home. Last Thursday, Durham cops charged Jor- dan Piney, 20, of Russett Avenue in Oshawa, with offences including break and enter and possession of stolen property. On Feb. 10, police arrested Daniel Padias, 25, of Applegrove Avenue in Oshawa, in connection with the same spate of break-ins. Flabby flasher sought in Oshawa OSHAWA -- Police are seeking a “heavy set” man who exposed himself to a teenager last month in downtown Oshawa. The female victim, 15, told Durham police she was walking in the area of Stacey Avenue and Court Street at about 4 p.m. Feb. 20 when a car pulled up and a man got out, exposed himself and grabbed her by the arm. The girl broke free and the man drove off in the car, a silver four-door sedan, police said. The victim wasn’t hurt. The flasher is described as a heavy-set white man in his 40s with short facial hair. He wore grey track pants and a black coat.

To help raise funds for a new shelter, the Ontario Registered Music Teach- ers’ Association is holding a fundraiser benefit concert this Sunday. It will fea- ture music by students throughout Ajax and Pickering, refreshments and prizes, including a hockey stick autographed by the Toronto Maple Leafs. The concert will take place on Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Pres- byterian Church, 35 Church St. N., Ajax. Tickets will be sold at the door for $10 per family, $5 for adults, and $3 for stu- dents and seniors. For more information call 905-831- 8678.

Home Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE Controlling the quantity and quality of on-site runoff is a major concern across Canada. Design professionals and engi- neers are constantly searching for sustain- able approaches to site development. Permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) is a fast growing sustainable design approach to stormwater management. PICP uses solid concrete pavers placed on an open-graded aggregate base. The joints or openings are filled with a small open-graded aggregate. This small aggre- gate makes the system 100% permeable. The base of the system filters storm water and reduces pollutants. This water can be collected and used for such things as watering the lawn. Otherwise, the open- graded base stores and infiltrates the storm water back into the soil. PICP can be used for walks, patios and driveways, as well as for parking lots and residential streets. Environmentally conscious homeowners are redoing their driveways and walkways with permeable interlocking concrete pavement, which not only looks good, but allows water to filter through the pavement to migrate back into the ground. Homeowners particularly like the vast array of colors, shapes, sizes and textures available. You can get rustic stone like pavers or others that look like clay brick. PICP is easy to maintain and snowplow. In addition, because the snow melts faster on PICP, it reduces ice hazards. Another plus for homeowners is the Home Renova- tion Tax Credit which will provide a one- year, temporary 15% income tax credit on eligible home renovation expenditures for work performed, or goods acquired, between January 27, 2009 and February 1, 2010. Green your home and your hometown newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 6, 200916 AP Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comEntertainment Judith A. Jewer: Art teacher and plein air artist Hearing students in her Town of Ajax recreational adult and children’s art classes say that, because of her teaching, they see things they haven’t seen and see things in a new way, is the ulti- mate compliment and payback for artist Judith A. Jewer. How- ever, the Pickering resident sees teaching as a two-way street: it’s not only gratifying to watch her students learn and grow, but she also sees the very act of teaching as a highly creative learning pro- cess for her as well. Jewer launched the teaching aspect of her career with a class she called visual journaling at the Art and Soul Gallery in Pickering at the beginning of this decade. The journaling was a practice of hers that entailed making sketches and writing accompa- nying bits of prose and poetry in book form. And she was asked to teach the discipline to others by the gallery staff. She soon began finding students for private art lessons. As well, since 2003 she has busied herself teaching a variety of disciplines including painting, drawing, sculpture, crafts, printmaking, puppet- making and comic book creation as part of the Town of Ajax’s rec- reational program offerings. The Halifax-born artist stud- ied fine arts at McMaster Uni- versity in Hamilton, graduating in 1984. But, following a “mean- dering path,” she never really got going as an artist until she com- pleted the three-year graphic design course at George Brown College in Toronto in the early 1990s. After a short stint design- ing web sites and manuals for computer games, she started her own graphics company, Muse On Design, providing branding, promotional materials and web site design to small businesses in Durham Region and beyond. She continues to offer commer- cial art services. But get her talking about mak- ing fine art and its benefits and her enthusiasm is palpable. She rapturously talks about the spiritual/meditative aspects of working plein air (literally “in the open air”) where she paints landscapes that are in-the- moment, immediate responses to her environment. When work- ing outside she finds she opens up more to colour and beauty and enters a state of peace and awareness and sensitivity that she usually doesn’t find with studio work. However, she also makes time (and the weather often dictates) to do work inside. Inclement weather provides the opportunity to set up and paint still life tableaux and gives her time and comfort to simply “intuit” imaginary scenarios and put them down as drawings and paintings. She adamantly states, however, that the art she produc- es is merely a side effect of the creative process and that it’s the sharing of her creative vision that is paramount. Jewer has four solo shows to her credit in Durham Region and has exhibited extensively in group shows in the area. She has been active in the past with the PineRidge Arts Council, the Dur- ham West Arts Centre and with Ajax Creative Arts. One of her past pet projects was the writ- ing of a blog on collecting art as a creative act. She passionate- ly propounds that the selecting and purchasing of original (and especially local) art is not only a profound way for non-artists to engage in the arts culture, but has tremendous benefit to them on a personal and spiritual level.

PROFILE Found money bedevils accountant BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Be prepared for a hilari- ous ride in Whitby. Class Act Dinner Theatre pres- ents Funny Money in March and April, a Ray Cooney farce that takes flight when Henry Perkins, a mild- mannered accountant, picks up the wrong briefcase and discovers it is filled with money, lots of money, more than a million bucks in cash. He decides to keep it and imme- diately books one-way flights to Spain for himself and his wife. But before they can make their getaway, police arrive at the door for two very different reasons. One of the detec- tives thinks Perkins is dead because his briefcase has been found, along with a bullet-riddled body. Director Glenn Ottaway doesn’t want to give anything else away, but it’s safe to say that as Henry tries to get out of the sticky situa- tion, the humour and chaos con- tinue to build. He says the audience can antici- pate the impact of the characters telling lie after lie. “They know the trouble’s coming and every time one of the charac- ters has to make up a story, they see how that changes the whole direc- tion of the play,” he says. The English playwright’s 1973 work is typical of his farces, a mix of traditional British bawdiness with an intricate structure that sees characters making assumptions and being compelled to pretend they are things they are not. “The fellow who plays the lead, Chris Cole, he’s done a ton of farc- es and he says this is his favourite farce,” says Ottaway. He says the script allows for some latitude for the director, and he’s taken advantage of it by adding some Monty Pythonish and Pulp Fictionish undertones. “The words are on the paper, the description and the plot are on the paper, but you can do so much more with the characters,” Ottaway says. It helps when you have a cast of “great character actors,” he says. In addition to Cole, a Toronto resident who plays Perkins, Nancy Gleed, a veteran of the Class Act stage and a Whitby resident, plays his wife, Jean Perkins, Graham Gauthier, also from Whitby, is Davenport and Oshawa’s Geoffrey Coulter is Vic Johnson. Rounding out the cast are Anita Romanelli (Betty Johnson), Bill Baker (Slater), Lincoln Trudeau (Bill) and Paul Cutler (a passerby). Ottaway hopes the cast members aren’t too unfamiliar to the audi- ence. “When people see these charac- ters on stage, I’m hoping they see a lot of themselves up there,” he says. Funny Money runs from March 6 to April 25.

THEATRE newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 6, 200917 AP CURLING Hart heads into Brier this weekend PICKERING -- The Ontario men’s championship team of Glenn Howard, with Pickering resident Richard Hart at vice, Brent Laing and Craig Savill is on its fourth trip in a row to the Tim Hor- tons Brier. This year it will be held in Calgary March 7-15. The previous three Canadian Championships saw them win their way to the final game, but were victorious only in 2007 and went on to be crowned World Champions. All the players will have a chance to win the Ford Hot Shots competition which will be held today, with the final on Saturday. Last year in Winnipeg, Hart was one point away from winning the competition and took the second prize of $2,000 with 19 points versus Saskatchewan lead Steve Laycock who, with 20 points, won a two-year lease on a 2008 Ford worth approxi- mately $15,240. HOCKEY St. Mary wins LOSSA with series sweep WHITBY -- The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School boys’ hockey team is headed north in pursuit of provincial gold. St. Mary won the LOSSA champi- onship on Thursday with a 5-4 overtime win over Father Leo Austin of Whitby, sweeping the best-of-three series in two straight games. The win earns St. Mary a place at the OFSAA champion- ships. St. Mary won the series opener on Tuesday with a narrow 1-0 decision. OFSAA begins Wednesday, March 25 in North Bay and runs through to the 28th. Knocking on the OFSAA door HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Ajax, Pickering high schools all set to compete at OFSAA What a time for high school sports across the province. The 2009 championship sea- son at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association level will get into full swing next week with seven championship tour- naments taking centre stage from Timmins to Windsor to North Bay and Port Hope among other places from March 9-11. With no less than 10 teams from within the boundaries of Durham Region slated to compete for pro- vincial bragging rights, it’s cer- tainly an exciting time in these parts. It’s the time of year that all involved in athletics at the high school level have been waiting for. The teams they built and the teams they’ll face are as good as it gets. All the plans are in the place and preparations concluded. It’s down to one tournament and one goal, that of bringing home some hardware from the provincial championships. Later this month hockey will be the focal point of the battle for Ontario supremacy on the high school scene, but right now all eyes are geared towards the courts, the basketball and volley- ball variety. Oshawa’s G.L. Roberts will send their ‘AA’ boys’ basketball team to Timmins for the championships, while a pair of Ajax schools in Pickering High and Notre Dame will represent LOSSA and head off to Windsor for the ‘AAAA’ tournament. In ‘AAA’ boys’ basketball, Whit- by’s Anderson Collegiate hits the road for a stop in Ottawa to com- pete against Ontario’s best. Swapping one type of net for another, six volleyball teams will vie for provincial bragging rights with Clarington’s Durham Chris- tian making the short jaunt to Port Hope for the girls’ ‘A’ tour- nament, while Ajax’s Denis O’Connor heads to Kenora for the ‘AA’ event. A pair of schools in Oshawa’s R.S. McLaughlin and Whitby’s Donald A. Wilson will head to North Bay for the ‘AAA’ champi- onships, while Pickering’s Dun- barton High School and Sin- clair Secondary of Whitby go to Brampton and Caledon to com- pete at the ‘AAAA’ level. “The opportunity to represent LOSSA at these events is mem- orable, to say the least,” stated LOSSA president Darren Hodkin- son. Here is to hoping the memo- ries extend beyond an appear- ance at the tournaments and that a few medals will have found new homes in these parts by this time next week.

Both Pickering and Notre Dame will be com- peting in the OFSAA Championships that begin Monday in Windsor. Shawn Cayley BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Pickering High School came through the front door, Notre Dame the back door, but the two basketball powerhouses are meet- ing at the same place. That’s the OFSAA Quad-A basket- ball championships that get under way in Windsor on Monday. Pickering, the defending provin- cial champion, reached this year’s event after beating J. Clarke Rich- ardson by a score of 75-52 in the LOSSA final to punch a ticket to Windsor. Notre Dame used a challenge clause to gain their status. Los- ing to Pickering in the semifinal gave them the opportunity to chal- lenge J. Clarke for the coveted sec- ond spot awarded to LOSSA. Notre Dame took advantage, winning 80- 61. While Pickering (39-5) has been seeded second in the 16-team OFSAA championships, Notre Dame (31-2) is ranked ninth and will face 10th seeded Sir John A. Macdonald from Waterloo in their opening game. “It’s probably going to be one of the best games on Day 1,” said Notre Dame assistant coach Mark Van Rhee. “We’re excited to be part of that game. “We’d like to prove a point here at Notre Dame that we can play bas- ketball with the best teams in the province.” Preliminary games go Monday and Tuesday, with the gold medal game on Wednesday night.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.
