Suffolk and Nassau County fire departments tried to smoke their competition on Saturday, Aug. 15, at New York State’s annual Motorized Drill, at Fireman’s Memorial Park in Ridge. Fifty drill teams competed to earn the title of state champion at the event, which featured eight challenges including the 3 Man Ladder; the Motor Hook and Ladder class B and C contests; the Motor Hose class B and C contests; Efficiency; Motor Pump and Buckets. While two teams, the Central Islip Hoboes and the West Sayville Flying Dutchmen, were crowned co-champions, the Miller Place Extinguishers didn’t place in the competition. Other local teams like the Selden Slowpokes competed in the event, but they also didn’t place in the competition. The Rocky Point Rum Raiders didn’t attend the event. The Extinguishers placed sixth in the 3 Man Ladder challenge, but took the 23rd place in the B Ladder challenge. They then came in 29th place for the B Hose and Efficiency challenge. The team didn’t participate in the C Ladder and C Hose challenges, but they came in 14th for the Motor Pump and 28th for the Buckets portions of the competition. According to Michael Heller of the New York State Drill Teams organization that helps plan the event, the eight obstacles in the competition are similar to those used to train firefighters. Although the competition is entertaining, Heller and Chief Michael Matteo of the Selden Fire Department said that the event helps with teamwork and relationship building. “When you join a team — a competition team — everyone has their role to play, so they all work together as a team to accomplish the goal,” Heller said. “Firefighters on a team are used to working well with each other, and understand working with each other. Teamwork is critical when you’re in a fire to understand what a person is doing and what to do next.” These competitions began in the 1800s, according to Heller and Matteo, but Matteo added that there are few places where 40 or more groups of people in New

York State can get together, compete and congratulate their fellow competitors for their participation in the event. On September 6, 1872 the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York was established in Auburn, which led to more organized competitions among the fire departments. The competition was the biggest event that the Selden Fire Department hosted thus far. They have held smaller events for the fire departments in the past, like the Selden Invitational Firefighter’s Drill. Matteo also said there were around three teams that came back to compete in the Motorized Drill competition, as participants had been lacking in previous years, and few times there were repeat competitors. Additionally, there were around seven teams that could have taken first place after the Buckets challenge, the

last part of the competition, but didn’t have as many points as the co-champions, making for a highly-contested day. According to Matteo, this typically doesn’t happen, but said it was nice to see. “It’s just a great thing for the fire

service,” Matteo said of the competition. “Ninty-five percent of firefighters are volunteers, so we’re giving our time when we’re not working one or two jobs. We’re taking away [time] from our families and we’re going out there.”

North Shore native thrives in craft spirit market By Alex Petroski

It takes guts to quit a steady paying job to pursue a dream. Not many people bet on themselves as boldly as Stony Brook University graduate and owner of Prohibition Distillery in Roscoe Brian Facquet did back in 2008. He grew up in Commack, graduated from St. Anthony’s High School in 1991 and spent a few years in the Naval Academy before transferring to Stony Brook for his senior year. There he played lacrosse, majored in history and met his future wife Benat. “I created a brand that’s rooted in history,” Facquet said laughing, during an interview this week, when asked about failing to put his pricey college degree in history to use. He received that degree in 1995. “I did something stupid,” Facquet said. “I quit my job and just started doing this.” “This” was creating an up-and-coming craft spirit brand called Bootlegger 21, which is based out of an old firehouse in Roscoe, about two hours north of New York City. The name, the packaging

and even the boxes that the bottles are shipped in are all a nod to the Prohibition era in the United States in the 1920s when the sale or consumption of alcohol was illegal. People who continued to sell alcohol illegally were called bootleggers. The “21” represents the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition. Facquet spent much of the 2000s in the corporate world, working for a couple of different technology companies. Successes in that field earned him an offer to be the East Coast vice president of Paylocity, a company that specializes in cloud-based payroll software, which Facquet was vital in creating. He turned down the offer. “He’s always been entrepreneurial,” Phil Facquet said of his son Brian, who in 2000 went to his dad and asked him for advice about a business opportunity. Brian Facquet said that he was at Bluepoint Brewery in Patchogue. “It was small at the time,” Facquet said. They had a few chairs, a keg and about three tables in an outside sitting area. The modest appearance didn’t scare him and he told his dad that he wanted VODKA continued on page A5

to invest about $30,000 in the brewery. Both Facquets said that Phil was the greatest deciding factor in Brian’s decision to ultimately reject the opportunity. “I always regretted not doing it,” Brian Facquet said. His dad admitted that he felt bad about being the voice of negativity back then, so when Brian went to Phil in 2008 and told him his new plan, his father decided to bite his tongue the second time around. “I thought he was crazy,” Phil Facquet said. When Brian Facquet decided to start making booze, it wasn’t going to be a hobby. He had no interest in going the route of the weekend warrior who brews beer in his garage and tried for a while to balance his steady paying job with his dream of, as he put it, “creating something that will be remembered.” He said he would go into the Tuthilltown Distillery, one of the sites of his vodka making exploits before he found a home in Roscoe, while he was on sales calls for his day job, overnight or on days when he was “playing hooky.” Eventually he decided he was going all in on Bootlegger 21. “You’re talking to a guy that’s worked all his life for somebody else,” Phil said about his son’s decision to pursue his dream. “I’m ambitious within a corporate setting, but to risk my own money? I thought he was crazy quite honestly.” His father came around rather easily. He still lives in Commack, though he periodically makes the trip up to Roscoe to lend a hand for a few days whenever he can. Brian Facquet’s ambition and confidence have paid off. Bootlegger 21 now offers gin and bourbon to go along with the vodka. Facquet said that when he started the company he had a hard time convincing anyone about the merits of a craft spirit that was locally produced. “You hope you have a good product, you hope you have a market, but you never know,” he said. The market has changed now. Hand crafted is in. Mass-produced, conglomerate spirits with brand recognition still have their place in the market, but Facquet said that he’s found the millennial consumer is willing to give the little guy a shot. He didn’t necessarily see this coming he said, but he’s thrilled to reap the benefits of a more open-minded marketplace. The fact that this is currently Facquet’s only business venture doesn’t mean he’s suddenly become a slacker. Presumably Catholic high school and the Naval Academy made that impossible. “I don’t know how he does it,” his father said. “He’s burning the candle light at both ends, plus the center.” Brian Facquet’s hard work has paid off as well. The corn-based, gluten-free vodka has been awarded gold medals and double gold medals from the Best Domestic Vodka competition, the Beverage Testing Institute, and the New York International Spirits competition. The five-botanical gin and corn-based bourbon are still very new to the market. Facquet’s goal was to create something that will be remembered. It will be difficult to remember him after extensive consumption of his product, although his entrepreneurial spirit will last long after the buzz wears off.

New tool helps reduce brain surgery risks

North Shore neurosurgeon touts procedure’s success By Giselle Barkley

When Jean Noschese’s left hand started to go numb, she didn’t expect her doctor’s visit to lead to brain surgery at Huntington Hospital, where she met Dr. Robert Kerr, a neurosurgeon who had a new way of operating on the brain. On Oct. 16, 2013 Noschese experienced a head-on collision while driving in Hauppauge. The car accident left her in need of several surgeries, including ones to repair her rotator cuff and replace her hip. But it was when she started losing sensation in her left hand, in 2014, that she went to a specialist. Noschese, who initially wondered if her issue with her hand was related to her accident, was rushed to the hospital after her hand specialist thought Noschese was experiencing a stroke. But instead of a stroke, the doctors found a three-by-four-centimeter lesion on the right side of her brain that caused paralysis on the left side of her body. Her lesion wasn’t caused by the accident, but from Noschese’s breast cancer that had metastasized to her brain. Noschese was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Doctors wanted to perform brain surgery the following day, on Dec. 22, 2014, according to Noschese, “It’s overwhelming to hear that you need brain surgery,” she said.

But Kerr, who met with Noschese when she entered the hospital, reassured her and reviewed the procedure with her. A new brain-mapping technique, using the Synaptive Medical’s BrightMatter Plan product, involves several new tools, including a highly engineered tube that splits brain tissue fibers and allows neurosurgeons to access difficult and deep parts of the brain easily. The procedure also utilizes a fiber optic, high definition telescope that creates a “cone of visualization” that allows surgeons to clearly view all planes of the brain they are working on. The technique also features a procedure called the myriad, which uses a blunt suction device that peels off tumors from dangerous or sensitive areas without damaging surrounding areas in the brain. “Traditionally, surgeries for deeper regions actually involve destroying a certain amount of tissue to get to the target area,” Kerr said. According to Kerr, in traditional brain surgeries, metal retractors are used to create a pathway so surgeons can access target areas of the brain. Doctors use the retractors to pull the edges of the brain apart and create a pathway. Kerr said the issue with this technique is that, regardless of how careful a surgeon is, BRAIN continued on page A7

Jam-packed

A 46-year-old man from Sayville was arrested in Stony Brook on Aug. 14 and charged with petit larceny. Police said the man stole socks and a backpack from Marshall’s on Nesconset Highway at about 3:30 p.m. He was arrested at the scene.

BRAIN Continued from page A6 Photos from Erica Ardito

he or she may still push on these retractors, which widens the pathway the surgeon created from surface of the brain to the target area. As a result, the patient is left with a hole in part of the brain, which means the patient will take longer to recover from the surgery. Stony Brook Medicine Neurosurgeon Dr. David Chesler said Synaptive Medical’s BrightMatter Plan procedure is only appropriate under certain circumstances. “Tumors that come right to the surface, where they’re easily approachable, I don’t think there’s any benefit to using this technique, because the tumor is right there,” Chesler said. Chesler took a course for the procedure about two years ago. While he thinks the technique is beneficial, he does not think it is a be-all and end-all procedure for brain surgery. While the procedure is minimally invasive, may decrease the chance of injuring the patient during the operation and allows surgeons to approach lesions or blood clots, Chesler said there are some downsides to the technique. He said that the technology of this technique is not new, but simply creates a new system that makes it easier for surgeons to implement. Additionally, minimally invasive procedures double or triple the length of an operation, depending on the surgeon and the nature of the surgery. Surgeons who may not be very experienced may leave parts of lesions or tumors and blood clots behind because of limited visualization. Surgeons can only see what is at the end of the tube, which is around the diameter of a dime. Kerr said this procedure will decrease patients’ recovery time. Patients are usually tired following the surgery and require extensive amounts of rest before they are discharged from the hospital. Noschese, however, was alert and speaking two hours after the surgery. Not only did she regain sensation in her hand, but she was also able to grab and hold onto a variety of objects. Chesler, like Kerr, said patients who receive traditional surgeries for deep-seated lesions or blood clots can do well. He said his patients’ deficits were more related to the “structures involved with the tumor,” as opposed to the approach used. Chesler has seen both good and bad outcomes from this technique According to Kerr, few surgeons are using this technique. “Neurosurgeons are skeptics and slow adopters and I think that’s appropriate,” Kerr said, explaining why more surgeons may stick to traditional brain surgery practices. While Chesler said the procedure should be used for the right case and with an experienced surgeon, he said staff are looking to adopt this technique at Stony Brook University Hospital. Chesler, who does both pediatric and adult neurosurgery, said he is simply looking for the right case. Recently he hasn’t come across a case that calls for the technique. Doctors must demonstrate the procedure and illustrate its benefits when introducing the technique to the hospital. Hospitals need to invest in the procedure for a surgeon to officially implement it. Although Chesler said there are other systems that surgeons can use to reach a similar goal, Kerr said the technique is a glimpse into the future of this type of surgery. “I think this technology reflects the future of neurosurgery and accessing deep-seated lesions in a kinder, gentler, more precise way,” Kerr said. “I think this is representing a future paradigm shift in the way that brain surgery is done, and I think that we will see many more adopting this in a very short period of time.”

Eagle Scout Aidan Donnelly delivers On July 14, Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) joined Boy Scout Aidan Donnelly from Troop 362 in Centereach as he delivered supplies to two local area food pantries. In May, Aidan completed his service project, an osprey nest platform at West Meadow Beach. Due to the overwhelming support of the community and local businesses, Aidan’s project ran a surplus, and with the approval of Brookhaven Town, the project beneficiary, the Eagle Scout candidate supplied four local pantries with needed items. He thought use of the surplus to help others in need kept with the Boy Scouts call to service. This year, Aidan participated in food drives with the Suffolk County Council of Boy Scouts, his troop and as part of his religious medal program. Aidan’s service project was reviewed in early August and he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. His ceremony will be held in the fall. “After helping out at a local soup kitchen, I really saw the need in the community, and wanted to do what I could to help,” Aidan said. “Our soup kitchens and food pantries need donations of food and year-round volunteers. Many locations said they do not have enough volunteers in the summer,” Cartright said. “I encourage community members who are looking for ways to give back to the community to donate their time to this great cause.” The locations that benefited from the surplus donations to Aidan’s Eagle Scout service project are St. James R.C. Church/Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen in East Setauket, Hope Lutheran Church/St. Mark’s Bread Food Pantry in Selden, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church/Parish Social Ministry in Centereach and St. Gerard Majella Church/Community Outreach in Port Jefferson Station.

Having recently been awarded a $500 scholarship from the Long Island credit union NEFCU (its Making a Difference High School Scholarhip), Sachem North graduate Meagan Loyst has been given an additional $20,000 from the local financial institution as part of its annual Making a Difference Premier Scholarship program. The 2015 high school graduate from Lake Grove plans to attend the Carroll School of Management at Boston College in the fall. NEFCU’s $20,000 Making a Difference Premier Scholarship award will be paid over four years ($5,000 per academic year). To date, NEFCU has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships as part of its scholarship programs. Loyst was chosen from a field of student applicants throughout Long Island. To apply for the scholarship, each applicant had to have at least 100 hours of documented community service and a four-year overall high school grade of 90 or above. Each applicant also needed to be a recent recipient of either NEFCU’s Making a Difference Family Scholarship or High School Scholarship.

The Suffolk County Community College 2014 men’s soccer team poses for a group photo. The team finished the season 21-4 and won the school’s second National Junior College Athletic Association Division III men’s soccer national title to earn its No. 1 ranking.

Sharks’ men’s soccer team ranked No. 1 in nation

The Suffolk County Community College Men’s Soccer team is the No. 1-ranked Division III team in the nation, according to the 2015 National Soccer Coaches Association of America pre-

season rankings. The Sharks made it to the national championship game in 2013, falling to Herkimer County Community College, 1-0, but are two-time national champi-

ons – 2010 and 2014 – and are looking to defend the national championship, with three starters returning and a core of talented incoming freshman. Led by head coach Frank Vertullo, who

was named the Coach of the Tournament following the national championship win, the Sharks will kick-off the 2015 season on Aug. 22 at Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts.

SCCC Golf Classic will be a hole in one

Golfers can drive home in a brand new Maserati or Toyota Prius and then to a V.I.P. experience at a Billy Joel Concert if they are among the lucky at the Suffolk Community College Foundation 32nd Annual Golf Classic on Aug. 24. The proceeds from the Golf Classic will support need- and merit-based scholarships, emergency student loans and quality academic enrichment programs for Suffolk County Community College students. Last year, more than 500 students were helped by $650,000 in aid from the Suffolk Community College Foundation. Golfers can drive away in a brand new Maserati, courtesy of Ferrari/Maserati of Long Island, if he or she can score a holein-one on the 160-yard, 17th hole of the Photo from Suffolk County Community College

Hamlet Golf & Country Club in Commack. Riverhead Toyota also donated a holein-one prize of a new Toyota Prius, along with a luncheon sponsorship, if a golfer can score a hole-in-one on the 4th hole. If that’s not enough, two stage-side seats to a Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden will be auctioned at the post-game reception. Former Suffolk County Police Commissioner, Deputy County Executive and Community College Executive Dean John C. Gallagher will be honored by the foundation at the Classic. Tickets and golf slots are still available. Registration includes 18 holes of golf, access to the driving range and putting green, a golf cart, lunch, a cocktail reception and the awards dinner. Registration is $275 per golfer and $1,100 for a foursome. Registration for the annual Golf Classic can be done on the Foundation’s website at www.sunysuffolk.edu/golf.

OPINION

Teq CEO Damian Scarfo and President Chris Hickey. Teq is New York’s SMART technology provider for K to 12.

Leslie Kennedy, far right, with the Scouts after cleaning the stream

EDITORIAL

Beyond the screens There’s been a lot of hubbub about the 21st century classroom, where interactive whiteboards replace chalk, and pencils and pens are subbed out for iPads and Chromebooks. Even our own governor has incentivized such reforms at our schools. But let’s push pause and ask: Is all this technology helping or hurting? And what benefits are we missing out on in the real world beyond the bright screens? This week, a Huntington Station company, Teq, announced it had partnered with Canadian company SMART Technologies — yes, the creators of the famous SMART Board that is a staple of today’s classrooms — to be the sole distributor of Smart products for grades K to 12 in New York. That’s a big deal and we applaud Teq’s success. The educational tech company, already projecting sales of $50 million this year, anticipates the partnership will boost its revenues 20 percent. That’s not just chump change, and it’s a good deal for Long Island’s economy. Yet how much of our new technologies are really needed for learning and how

much are we just advancing for the sake of advancing? It feels like a lot of the new software and hardware is needed only to keep today’s student boredom at bay, as many kids are so used to having tech products in the home that they will not concentrate on paper. A culture of distraction is one of the greatest setbacks of today’s overly technological society. We understand that it benefits our students to be familiar with today’s gadgets, so they will be prepared for tomorrow’s success. But it also benefits children to know what it feels like to hold a real book in their hands, to solve a difficult math problem using a pencil and loose-leaf notebook, to be able to tell time without a digital display, to play outside instead of staring at their phones. Today’s kids are being handed iPads not long after retiring baby bottles. Steve Jobs once told a New York Times reporter that he limited his own children’s tech time at home. Instead of rushing to live in a completely digital world, our educators, parents and political leaders should place importance on carving out some time for a little reality — some quiet time and disconnect to facilitate thinking and creativity.

Cleaning streams

TO THE EDITOR: On a warm Saturday morning, I met with five local Boy Scout troops in Smithtown to clean a tributary stream that leads to the Nissequoge River. The Boy Scouts, who hailed from Troops 3, 539, 888, 214 and 349, worked tirelessly this Saturday in order to accomplish this task as part of a broader effort to bring longterm, meaningful relief to groundwater flooding conditions in the area. The troops met at the corner of Forest Lane and Tanglewood Drive, and they embarked on their cleaning mission from there. The stream, which feeds one of Long Island’s largest lakes, runs between residential properties in Smiththown.

The issue arises when the stream becomes polluted with debris and stops the flow of water. When this occurs, residents experience flooding in their yards and houses, which can lead to property damage. The stream was muddy and covered in heavy brush, but the Scouts were able to clear away the brush with tools loaned from the Department of Public Works, and they were able to clean out anything from the stream that was man-made and ensure that the stream would flow properly. The Scouts had to be environmentally sensitive to the area and not disrupt the integrity of the streambed while still cleaning it of all foreign debris. We did not shy away from getting down in the mud and went along with the troops down the muddy trail of the

stream. I was so impressed with the effort of the Boy Scout troops who came down Saturday morning to clean up the stream. It’s important to learn to care for our environment so that we can enjoy it for years to come. I look forward to working with these Scouts in the future as we continue to clean up the streams in Smithtown. After the expedition in the stream all the Scouts came back covered in mud, but the stream was flowing more steadily than before. And the residents in the surrounding area should be less susceptible to flooding and property damage after the valiant effort of the troops. Leslie Kennedy Suffolk County Legislator (R) Nesconset

Toilet paper, my kingdom for some toilet paper

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

e’ve all “had to go” at one point or another when the timing or location weren’t ideal. Maybe we were defending our dissertation, facing a pitcher in a big game, getting instructions about our first assignment at a new job, or sitting in the window seat of an airplane with two sleeping passengers between us and an aisle already

crowded with people waiting to use the restroom. A friend recently shared a “have to go” story that continues to give a chuckle to my kids, who suddenly tuned in because they sensed a real-life bathroom joke coming. So, there he was, hiking with a group of his buddies. He was on a 6-mile trail when he noticed the familiar, unsettling rumbling in his stomach. Ignore it, he figured, because, as we all know, that always works so well. Well, no, not at all, actually. Less than a mile later, the extreme effort to avoid soiling himself kept him from taking another step along the trail. He asked if anyone had toilet paper. Nope, they assured him, no luck. This was one of the many disadvantages of hiking with a group of men. Once separated from the apparent toilet-paperless pack, my first thought would have been to avoid poison ivy and

bears — or bears covered in poison ivy. However, he didn’t have the luxury of time for those kinds of concerns. As soon as he got his shorts down around his hiking boots, he had an instant explosion. Fortunately, he wasn’t trekking in the winter and there wasn’t loose snow overhead. Disgusted by the stench from the first toxic release, he crab walked his way as far as he could to start round two. And so it went, for five rounds, until he left a connect-thedots, “Hansel and Gretel” trail in the woods. When the contents of his digestive system were finally out, he faced the toilet paper dilemma. He looked at the evergreen pine needles around him. Nature didn’t offer a solution. He considered his underwear. He decided to rip it off and “go commando” the rest of the hike. Despite his best efforts, the underwear wouldn’t rip; it would only

stretch, rendering it useless on two levels. Taking off his shirt would work, but he was surrounded by mosquitoes. The only other option, he realized, was his hat. Fortunately, he said, the hat wasn’t as abrasive and uncomfortable as he imagined. We’ve all been there. OK, well, we haven’t all exactly been on a trail without any toilet paper after our stomachs erupted. But we’ve all been in a situation where we’ve absolutely had to go at the wrong place, wrong time, or both. In “Two Weeks Notice,” Sandra Bullock as Lucy Kelson is stuck on a stopped highway with her boss, millionaire George Wade played by Hugh Grant. Recognizing the urgency, Grant brings Bullock to a nearby camper and agrees to give the owners $1,000 to let her use the bathroom. Until I figured out that I was lactose intolerant, I had numer-

Nature didn’t offer a solution. ous memorable urgent trips to the nearest restroom, including once in the middle of a baseball game and once in Philadelphia after my very first — and last — cheese steak. The only upside to these agonizing moments — and it’s a small consolation — is that they can make for amusing and relatable anecdotes. Oh, and to top off my friend’s hiking story, if you will, when he returned from the woods without his hat, one of his buddies realized his mistake. As it turned out, he did have a handful of tissues.

Going underground after the big storm

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

ood news. We are finally off the generator and back onto the electricity supplied routinely, but not to us these last nine days, by PSEG. Why have we been suffering while others around us have had electricity all this time? The answer has to do with supply and demand. Because there has been so much demand for contractors and carpenters as a result of the recent storm, we have had to wait our turn.

When the huge, stately tree that lived next to our driveway was snapped off at its roots by what the National Weather Service termed as straight-line wind — but not a tornado — it collapsed across our parking lot. The falling tree pulled down the lines and the tube that served as a conduit for the electrical wires on the rear of the building, too. In effect it snapped the tube in two as if it were a matchstick. The electric company was not going to restore the lines that had been mounted outside the building until we were sure of the permanence of the wooden construction of our rear wall. And that required the approval of a contractor. So we were hung up, waiting for help that wasn’t hurrying our way. Yes, we were kept in business by a big generator, powering our computers, Internet and phone lines but decidedly not our air conditioning. That required more energy than our generator could deliver. Perhaps you didn’t notice, those of you reading this, that there were a lot of beastly hot

days during the last nine. We noticed. It was like the historically miserable sweatshop, I imagine. We kept going but it wasn’t pretty. We would still be waiting but for a happy alternative. Yes, it required the approval of others, but that was fairly quickly forthcoming. We decided to trench the distance from the electric lines on the road, across the parking lot and into the basement. By doing so, we were able to avoid refastening the power lines to the back of our building. Now we are no longer in a hurry for a contractor. More satisfying, too, is putting the electric lines underground, something we have been editorializing about for most of our almost-40 years of publishing. We can still lose power in future storms if lines are broken somewhere on the roads leading to our building, but not ever again if the problem is within our property. In order to trench our way from the roadside electric lines to our building, we first had to get approval from PSEG, certifying

that there were no other lines underground that we might be cutting into in the process. They call such on-site evaluation “marking,” and you have undoubtedly seen differently colored painted arrows and drawings on the roads that indicate where utility lines are or are not to go.

It took the better part of a day to do the trenching, lay in the lines, cover them with dirt and blacktop the ditch. PSEG was then summoned, and to their credit they arrived with three trucks that evening and approved of the entire job. We are set now to power on.
