Manlius Ambulance barn in need of repairs and updates

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS – The Manlius Ambulance Service barn is in need of updates.

Ken Brummel of the ambulance service addressed the village board last Tuesday about the barn’s current conditions and needs.

In 1978, when the village committed to the service, space was set-up inside the village’s maintenance area and the building conditions have remained the same since, according to Brummel.

Only one of four lights in the building work, the keypad opener for the overhead door no longer operates and there is no secured space for medical records, equipment and medicines.

“What we currently have … is a bay in the village maintenance barn with shared access to the public,” he said.

Brummel said the ambulance service needs a secured lockable room that can only be accessed by the ambulance personnel. The service would also like to move to the two north bays in the current building and construct a dividing insulated wall between the ambulance and village space.

“We have to have a secured room and building,” said Brummel. “We’d just like to make it a little bit better … we can’t have our files in the public bathroom and can’t have out meds open to the public.”

Brummel said the village’s restroom is easily accessible to anyone who walks in and opens the door. He said a lot of the railroad workers walkin and use the area.

Since the ambulance service is located on village property, Brummel was at the meeting to get permission for the construction

Flood damage assessment Bureau County works on federal assistance process

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Local officials are working with federal and state officials to determine if Bureau County is eligible for federal assistance following the April 17-18 heavy rains and flooding which damaged homes, businesses, roads and streets, bridges and public facilities across the county and state.

On Friday, President Barack Obama signed a declaration naming 11 counties to be eligible for federal funding, including LaSalle, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Fulton, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.

On Monday, Bureau County ESDA coordinator Kris Donarski said five teams have been sent out to assess the state, county by county, for damages received by the April rains and flooding. Donarski and local offi-

cials met last week with one of the teams, which included personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration.

Donarski said the assessment process includes a preliminary damage assessment for individual assistance, which would cover homes and businesses impacted by the April flooding.

The assessment process also includes

Stamp Out Food Drive a ‘success’ for local pantries

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – This past Saturday, people all over the nation took part in the 21st annual Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food drive.

Citizens were asked out leave nonperishable food items in their mailbox.

As their letter carriers delivered the mail, they collected the food items, which in turn went to local food pantries everywhere.

Princeton food drive coordinator Scott Maschek said the Stamp Out Food Drive was important to take part in, because donations help the pantries boost their shelves in time for the summer months.

Vanessa Hoffeditz, director of TriCounty Opportunities Council in Princeton, was thrilled with the amount collected in her area. Although she didn’t have a final number of pounds collected, she said it was “definitely more than last year.

“We can’t thank them enough, some folks came in on their day off to help out with this,” she said about the letter carriers.

Hoffeditz said she was grateful for the collection, because the summer months can be tough for food panties. She said a lot of people tend to forget there is still a need in the summer compared to around the holidays. She said the need is even more so sometimes because students are at home during the summer.

Pat Polson of Princeton enjoys some time at home reviewing her three-page list of 75 random acts of kindness which she wants to complete in celebration of her 75th birthday on May 1. In telling her story, Polson hopes to encourage others to create their own random acts of kindness lists.

Acts of kindness ... one by one by one

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — For many people, birthdays are all about getting gifts, but for Pat Polson, her birthday has been about giving gifts.

The Princeton woman is celebrating her 75th birthday by doing 75 random acts

of kindness for family and friends, neighbors, community members, strangers. She began her acts of kindness mission in mid-April and has about 10 more acts to go.

Polson said she came up with the idea about six months ago after reading a magazine article about a woman

“It doesn’t take much to make others and yourself happy sometimes.”

Pat Polson who had done a similar thing in celebration of her birthday. Polson, who turned 75 years old on May 1, decided to start her mission in mid-April and to give herself one month to complete her 75 random acts of kindness.

After all, 75 is a big number, she said.

The Princeton woman prepared for her mission by jotting down a list of ideas for the random acts of kindness on a sheet of paper.

She has kept adding to the ideas list until it is now more than three pages long. It’s been great coming up with the ideas and watching the list grow, she said.

As she thumbed her way through her ideas list, Polson talked about what fun it’s been to do the random acts of kindness, like the time she took plastic bags each filled with eight quarters to give out to people at a local laundromat. Or, there was the time she paid a late fine for someone at the Princeton Public Library. She’s given out packages of gum at her grandson’s ballgame and left bigger than usual tips for

waitresses.

Since she has a lot of flowers in her yard, Polson has taken flowers to a doctor’s office, to a neighbor she doesn’t see very often, to the friends in her prayer group, and to the office at Perry Memorial Hospital where her granddaughter works. She has taken fruit to the Princeton Police Station and written letters of appreciation to city leaders. One time, she bought a book of stamps, divided those stamps into groups of four, and gave them to people coming into the post office.

The list continues. She’s prayed for more people than normal, written letters to her grandchildren, fixed food for others, and made donations to local agencies and groups. She’s even put out nesting materials for the birds to use in her yard.

Polson said she has tried to be creative and to do things which she wouldn’t normally do, to go above and beyond in giving to others.

Some random acts of kindness have cost a little bit of money, but

others haven’t.

With more than 60 random acts of kindness already completed since April, Polson said her project has reinforced something she already knew about people.

“It doesn’t take much to make others and yourself happy sometimes,” Polson said.

As she does her random acts of kindness, Polson also gives the person a small card, made by her daughter, telling about how Polson was celebrating her birthday by doing random acts of kindness.

The card goes on to say “I hope you enjoy it, and pass it on.”

And that, the “passing it on,” could be a random act of kindness given back to Polson.

In sharing her story publicly, Polson said she doesn’t want to draw attention to herself, but rather to maybe encourage someone else to start their own random acts of kindness mission.

And they don’t have to wait until their 75th birthday to start, she said.

Olivero named IVCC Board chair OGLESBY — Melissa Olivero of Peru was elected chair at a special reorganizational meeting of the Illinois Valley Community College Board May 7.

Olivero was first elected to the board in April 2009 and appointed vice chair in May 2011.

She replaces Dennis Thompson of Princeton who served the board for eight years. ThompOlivero son received a standing ovation as he exited the meeting.

Trustees also elected Mike Driscoll of Ottawa vice chair and Larry Huffman of Peru secretary.

Board attorney Walter J. Zukowski, treasurer Cheryl Roelfsema and secretary to the board Jeanne Hayden were all reappointed.

Olivero made the following committee appointments: David Mallery of Hennepin as the Illinois Community Col-

lege Trustees Association representative and newly-elected trustee Laurie Bonucci of Princeton as the alternate; closed session minutes: Huffman chair, Bonucci and Everett Solon of Streator; facilities: Mallery chair, Bonucci and Olivero; audit finance: Huffman chair, Driscoll and Solon; and planning: Driscoll chair, newly-elected trustee Jane Goetz of Ottawa and Mallery.

“With the leadership team we have in place on our board, the college is well-positioned for progress,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran.

In other business, the board canvassed votes from the April 9 election.

Vote totals were: Goetz, 14,931; Bonucci, 14,760; and Brandon Evans of Oglesby 8,745. Goetz and Bonucci were elected to six-year terms. Finally, the board voted to continue meeting at 6:30 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month. Trustees will meet next on May 21.

time, the fire department levied $20,000 to help pay for a needed second ambulance and since then has been trying to pay off the cost and maintain bills. He said they are now close to having enough money to build a new spot for the ambulance service.

Hewitt said he would meet with Brummel and the fire trustees later this month to lay out a plan for the new space. He plans to bring back plans to the village trustees at next month’s meeting to update them on what happens next.

However, village president Robin Hewitt, who is also a fire department trustee, said Brummel should have addressed the fire department trustees first, because the department is the who will fund the ambulance service’s project.

Hewitt said about 15 years ago the ambulance and fire department came together in a verbal agreement when the ambulance service couldn’t afford to be on its own. He said at the

Food Drive From Page 1 Although the food drive was labeled a “success,” Hoffeditz said the food will go quickly and will not last through the summer.

At the Western Bureau County Food Pantry, the results were “amazing,” according to director Mary Lanham.

About 1,046 pounds of food were collected.

She said it was quite the boost from last year’s 830 pounds.

“People really outdid

that number this year,” she said. “It was a nice selection of food and a lot variety for our people.”

The Wyanet Food Pantry, located in the basement of the Wyanet United Methodist Church, also saw a greater number of food this year.

Wyanet Postmaster Gina Ohda confirmed 390 pounds were collected on Saturday.

Ohda said the food collected also was a “great variety of items.”

“We are very appreciative of everything we got and it all stays right

there in Wyanet,” she said.

It’s been a few years since Spring Valley participated in the Stamp Out Food Drive, but residents didn’t forget.

Nearly 3,000 pounds of food was collected for the Hall Township Food Pantry sponsored by Project Success.

“It was actually a community event as different groups joined forces to help the carriers,” said pantry director Jan Martin.

As of Monday, donations were still arriving at the pantry from

‘Start Seeing Motorcycles’ May is Motorcycle Awareness Month

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – The sunny days and higher temps ahead have motorcycle enthusiasts anxious to hit the road.

With an increase of motorcycles on the road this season, it means motorists need to take caution, watch out and slow down when sharing the roadway.

For 30 years, May has been proclaimed Motorcycle Awareness Month in Illinois as part of a statewide campaign to reduce motorcycle crash fatalities and injuries.

Gov. Pat Quinn, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police, Gold

Assessment From Page 1 a preliminary damage assessment for public assistance, which would cover roads and streets, bridges, and government buildings and facilities.

The preliminary damage assessment for individual assistance has been completed for Bureau County, but the preliminary damage assessment for public assistance could take several more days, Donarski said.

There are a variety of factors which are considered in determining whether a county is eligible for federal funding, Donarski said.

The assessment teams gather the needed information and submit it to federal and state officials to determine if a county exceeds the threshhold level to qualify for federal assistance and would therefore be included in the federal declaration, she said.

As far as Bureau County, it is too soon to know when that determination would be reached, Donarski said. The county could be declared eligible for federal individual assistance or for public assistance, for both, or for neither, she said.

In a statement issued Friday, Gov. Pat Quinn

Wing Road Riders Association and A Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education (ABATE) joined in support of campaigns to urge motorists to “Start Seeing Motorcycles” and “Look Twice — Save a Life.”

Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson is among those who enjoy taking a ride on the bike in their free time. He said it’s a good way to get the adrenaline running and find relief from everyday stress.

As a rider, Thompson knows it’s important to take note of the motorcycle’s surroundings and constantly be prepared to stop short for fellow motorists or to look out for vehicles who might pull out in front.

Thompson said in the last 10 years, due to the economy and higher cost of fuel, more and more people are choosing fuel-efficient vehicles like motorcycles

and scooters, He advised motorists to take an extra second to look out for bikes and to not drive distracted.

Throughout the riding season, brightly colored banners and yard signs will be on display throughout the state as reminders to motorists to be more aware of motorcycles and always drive safely.

Motorcyclists are reminded to make sure they are visible to motorists, and that they follow the rules of the road. In addition to the “Start Seeing Motorcycles” theme, all motorists are encouraged to “Look Twice - Save a Life.” This is an awareness slogan important to all motorists in staying alert to motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.

According to IDOT, nearly 150 motorcyclists died as a result of a motor vehicle crash in 2012.

Low-interest home repair loans available

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — U.S. Rural Development is making low-interest home repair loans available to eligible, low-income homeowners following the April 17-18 heavy rains and flooding.

On Friday, Illinois Rural Development Director Colleen Callahan announced the available funds and gave stipulations for the loans. The Rural Development program is a part of the US Department of Agriculture.

Callahan said the loan limit for an individual applicant is $20,000. The loans have a 1 percent interest rate and may be repaid over a period of up to 20 years. The Rural Development loan program allows the homeowner to make multiple repairs and keep payments affordable, she said.

“We are concerned that homeowners in many Illinois counties have had damage to homes as the result of flooding,” Callahan said.

“As water recedes and the threatening conditions pass, we encourage homeowners needing financial help with repairs to give us a call.”

In a statement issued Friday, Callahan said funds can be used for a wide range of home repairs when losses are not covered by hazard or flood insurance or when Fedsaid the federal disaster declaration makes assistance available to flood victims, including grants to individuals and households to help with temporary housing, home repairs or replacement and other

eral Emergency Management Agency assistance is not available, including plumbing, electrical, flooring and foundation problems. Funding can also be used for repairs or replacement of damaged heating and air conditioning systems, roofs, windows and siding, she said.

Loan applicants must own and occupy the home, be able to repay the loan and have an acceptable credit history.

Also, grants may be available to homeowners 62 years or older with very low income and without the ability to repay a loan Callahan said.

Grant funds are limited but may be used to remove health and safety hazards or make the home accessible, she said.

Loan applications and more information on Rural Development programs are available through the local USDA office, located at 312 E. Backbone Road in Princeton, or by calling 815-875-8732, Ext. 4. The local office covers Bureau, Putnam, Marshall, Stark, Henry, Mercer, and Rock Island counties.

Motorcycles make up just 3 percent of all registered motor vehicles, yet motorcycle riders represented more than 15 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities in 2012.

From the editor’s desk Aaahhh ... I opened the sliding glass door that leads to my backyard deck, and the smell of spring hit me. A gentle breeze brought the fragrant smell of lilacs into my home — the old lilac bush just a few feet away from the deck was in full bloom, sending me back quite a few years to life on my grandparents’ farm, where the sweet scent of lilacs permeated our world in the spring.

Terri Not to be outdone, the bluebells Simon waved gently in that soft spring breeze, causing the tulips, daffodils and bleeding hearts to silently nod their pastel heads. The birds were busy — the squirrels and rabbits too. The hum of somebody’s mower a few blocks away shouted spring’s message. And for a few minutes, I couldn’t think of a better time to be alive.

I hope you embrace this season. I know we’ve had some crazy weather, but it’s absolutely beautiful out right now. Breathe. Exhale. Enjoy.

••• I hope your Mother’s Day was perfect — everything it was supposed to be. Personally, I think we need to celebrate moms every day — dads too ... grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins. We should cherish our families.

••• Congratulations are in order for Terry Himes, who retired (again) from the BCR last week.

Terry began his career many years ago as a reporter at the Bureau County Republican. He later opted out of the newspaper business and developed an outstanding career with the Princeton Fire Department. After he retired as chief from the department about seven years ago, he became a returning letterman at the BCR and has worked as a copy editor and editorial assistant for the past six and one-half years. While we hate to see him go, Terry’s retirement is well deserved. We wish him the best, and if you see him out and about, give him a congratulatory pat on the back.

••• With that being said, I’d like you to help me welcome the BCR’s new copy editor/editorial assistant, Sarah Maxwell of Princeton. Sarah has experience in the newspaper business, and she’s doing a great job copy editing, laying out pages and more. Please help the BCR welcome Sarah to our family and community.

••• Can you believe it’s graduation time already?

It seems like the school year just got underway, doesn’t it? High school graduations begin this week: DePue High School, 7 p.m. Friday; Hall High School, 7 p.m. Saturday; and St. Bede Academy, 2 p.m. Sunday. On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, we congratulate these graduates, and we wish them the best of luck and success in the future.

When you’re thinking about just the right gift for your favorite high school graduate, don’t forget to shop at home when you can. Every dollar you spend in your hometown or the county comes back to help us all.

••• Thought for this year’s graduates: “A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individuality’ is the key to success.” Robert Orben.

Another graduation thought: “You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.” Tom Brokaw.

••• Spring storms are, no doubt, on their way.

What instrument do you play, and what do you enjoy about being a part of the Princeton Community Band?

“I play percussion. I love the band. All these people come together, not only the band but the community at the concerts as well. It’s very special.”

Aaron Nelson, Princeton

“I play clarinet. It’s about interacting with the community members on a more intimate level, not just in Princeton but outlying communities.”

Gene Montgomery, Princeton

“I play the baritone. It is a good excuse to play an instrument again. I enjoy it, and it’s fun. It’s a great group of people.”

Kent Johnson, Princeton

“I play percussion. I love the band because there are a lot of fun people.

The music is wonderful.”

TO Letter THE Editor

Wind power is vital To the Editor, Leeco Steel has been an active supplier and supporter to the wind energy industry for more than six years.

As the main supplier of plate steel to the wind industry in North America, we understand the industry itself is quite young in the United States. We have seen it evolve first hand into an integral component of a national energy policy. Leeco’s Steel’s involvement with wind energy has not been on the perimeter. We have rolled up our sleeves and educated ourselves on best practices; immersed ourselves in

our customers’ business; and took action on national policy as a board member of the American Wind Energy Association.

Wind energy has already proven a reliable energy source by providing significant amounts of electricity across major parts of the United States. Iowa produces more than 20 percent of its electricity from wind, and wind energy recently provided more than 25 percent of the electricity being used across 11 Midwestern states. A 2012 report from Synapse Energy Economics found wind energy can save the average Midwestern household up to $200 per year.

Reports from Minnesota show that in 2011, wind power contributed 12.7 percent of its electricity generation, supported up to 3,000 jobs and contributed $8 million in land-lease payments. And that is just one state.

Data and analysis from utilities, the government and independent utility system operators confirm adding wind energy displaces large quantities of fossil fuel use and carbon dioxide pollution.

That’s because when the wind is blowing, the electricity generated displaces the output of the most expensive, least efficient power plants. Utility operators

accommodate gradual and predictable changes in wind output with the same tools they use to deal with fluctuations in electricity demand as well as sudden outages of large fossil and nuclear power plants, which are far more costly to deal with.

Leeco Steel understands wind power is a vital component of a national energy policy, and we know the Rock Island Clean Line is a smart idea for our energy independence.

John Purcell, vice president of the Energy Division of Leeco Steel and American Wind Energy Association Board member Darien

State champ

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Bureau County has a new State champion.

LaMoille Allen’s Bret Dannis captured the IESA seventh-grade, 110-meter hurdle State championship Saturday in East Peoria with a time of 17.16 seconds.

He advanced on Friday placing first in the semifinals with a time of 17.28.

Dannis said going to State was exciting and he had a lot of fun.

He was also glad to be able to win for his hometown of Arlington.

He is the second IESA State champion from Allen. Cory Schallorn won the seventh-grade discus crown in 1999.

Bureau Valley South produced a State runner-up in Sabrina Webb, who placed second in the seventh-grade girls high jump.

She also ran on the Storm’s fifthplace 4x400 relay with Kaylee Towne, Heather Williams and Casey Mecum.

Mecum added a seventh-place medal in the 400.

See IESA Page 12

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley’s Logan Hoffert enjoyed some home cooking Friday, winning three events in the Three Rivers Conference boys track and field championships at Storm Stadium.

The Storm senior standout added his third consecutive conference title in the 300 hurdles to his victories in the triple jump and 4x400 relay.

In the 300 hurdles, Hoffert beat Fulton’s Bryce Holesinger by fourtenths of a second with a time of 41.31, spurred on by defending his title and a poor first jump in the Logan Hoffert triple.

Wins 300 hurdles, “I was angry going in, and I triple jump and runs on Storm’s 4x400 put that bad jump into the race,” Hoffert said. “I started slower than usual, but I sped up halfway through the curve and caught Bryce. I’ve won this race since my sophomore year, and it means a lot when it comes against such good competition.”

Holesinger had earlier won the 110 hurdles (16.14), battling through a left hip flexor that flared up in the 300s.

“I’m going to get Hoffert before he leaves,” Holesinger said with a smile. “I ran the 110s really clean, and my hip didn’t bother me at all. Then, when I felt Hoffert on my hip around the curve in the 300s, I tried to pour it on and it balled up on me. It’s tough that my hip hasn’t hurt all year, and now, right before conference and sectionals, it’s got to be like that, but I just have to push through it the best I can.”

Tigresses sweep IVC Tournament

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The Princeton Tigresses rolled to the championship of the IVC Softball Tournament Friday evening, defeating the host Grey Ghosts 5-2 and Peoria Christian 10-0.

Both Princeton and IVC scored twice in the first

inning, but freshman Madison Menzel shut out the Lady Ghosts the rest of the way.

Makenzey Wilson provided the early offense with a tworun single in the first. Abby Jaques, Kat Pranka and Alisa Holmbeck (2-3) each drove in a run as the Tigresses went on to score five runs on five hits.

Menzel twirled a one-hit

shutout with no walks to stymie Peoria Christian in the nightcap. She struck out 10.

Jaques swung the big bat with a solo homer and a three-run shot. Pranka added a tworun double, knocking in three runs in the game.

The Tigresses (10-8) will face Mendota at 4:30 p.m.

Alleman 1A regional finals: Alleman 8, Princeton 1

Princeton’s season comes to painful end

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

Princeton coach Ed Young carries off PHS sophomore Callie Albrecht in Friday’s regional finals at Moline, a fitting end to a season marred with numerous injuries. The Tigresses fell to host Rock Island Alleman 8-1.

MOLINE — The Princeton Tigresses’ soccer season came to an end as they suffered a crushing 8-1 loss to the Rock Island Alleman Pioneers Friday night in the Class 1A regional final rematch from last year.

Alleman turned the tables, rolling through the regional portion of the state tournament in the same manner as Princeton’s Super Sectional Team did last year.

“It’s a true blessing to win like this,” said Alleman senior captain Jessica Tucker. “This team has grown so much since

last year so it’s nice to see how we’ve come together.”

Both senior captain Lexi Marselle and PHS coach Ed Young expressed their pride in the team for refusing to give up. It was Young’s own daughter, freshman Eliza, who showed that on the field, scoring Princeton’s only goal in the 58th minute.

“We worked together as a team, it’s just on this one they were superior. We didn’t give up the whole time,” Marselle said.

Three different Tigresses were assisted off the field due to injury (Marselle, Callie Albrecht and Emma Reidner)

which reflects the plight of the season. Princeton rarely had a full squad during the season, at times having four or five starters out to injury.

“It was particularly rough when girls like Callie [Albrecht] got hurt,” said Ed Young. “She brings both speed and quickness to the field.”

It did not take long for Alleman to grab control of the game when in the sixth minute Alleman super freshman forward and coach’s daughter Emily Bollman found the back of the net.

SPRING VALLEY — Mount Mercy University has proven to be a safe haven for Hall High School runners in the past with the likes of Liz and T.J. Mosbach and Mikey and Kyle Miroux.

That was more than enough to convince current Hall High School senior Katie Hoffert. She signed with the Cedar Rapids, Iowa school to run with the Mustangs in both cross country and track, which she has done the past four years at Hall.

“I chose Mount Mercy because of the history of Red Devil Runners that have attended the Uni-

versity, as well as a respected biology and pre-med program,” Hoffert said.

Being reunited with Liz Mosbach, a good friend who is completing her freshman season at Mount Mercy, played a big part, Hoffert said, being able to run together and “hang out” like old times.

Hoffert said she never really considered any other schools.

“Mount Mercy was the first school I had looked at and I fell in love with it,” she said. “I never looked at any other schools because I knew this was the school for me. The location, the size and the curriculum just seemed to be a perfect fit for me.”

Katie Hoffert signs to run for Mount Mercy University. She was joined by her parents, Mark (front row, left) and Lisa Hoffert; and (back row) Mt. Mercy cross country coach Ryan Scheckel, Hall coaches Nick Hanck and Tom Keegan and Mount Mercy track coach Jamie Jimison.

in the 20th minute and 24th minute, it looked like the Tigresses found some game, holding the defensive line and occasionally pressuring the Pioneer half of the field. But then Bollman broke their backs, weaving in on her own to score with just 17 seconds to go in the half and then feeding teammate Mary Kim Tadda just 67 seconds into the second half.

“I’m really proud of the girls,” said Alleman Coach Randy Bollman. “They worked hard.
