Radio Days will be on both the
AM 1330 and FM 107.9 stations all
day Saturday March 12th. This will
be the 49th annual Owego Radio
days and the 6th working with Dave
Radigan. In the past few years the
Kiwanis has been supported by over
500 area businesses who buy ads,
with proceeds going to Owego Ki-
wanis community projects. Kiwanis
members with help from both the
Candor Key Club and the Owego
Key Club, take over the station for
the day. In addition to reading the
paid ads they work together on the
programing content, entertainment,
content as well as "on air" personali-
ties.
Kiwanis Radio Day
WEBO's Dave Radigan, left, and Owego Kiwanis Radio Day Chairman John Scott, right, confer with Key Club members from Candor High School and Owego Free Academy regarding plans for Kiwanis Radio Day, Saturday, March 12th on WEBO.
Apalachin Lions Club Woman of the Year
The Apalachin Lions take great
pride in announcing that Gae Crosby
was selected for Apalachin Club
Woman of the year. Gae’s recogni-
tion is the result of her activities
within Tioga County and those
where her focus has been the Special
Olympics.
Gae’s devotion to the Special
Olympics Group begins with her
effort as the secretary and Training
Director for the Broome-Tioga or-
ganization, which encompasses more
than twenty-five
training clubs and
seven hundred ath-
letes with intellectu-
al disabilities. She
coaches weekly
soccer, bowling,
volleyball, and track
and field. Almost
single-handedly
introduced boccie to
the organization,
which is now the
fastest growing
sport.
Gae’s communi-
ty contribution has
been her focus with-
in the Tioga County
Historical Society,
an organization
where she served as
president of the
Board of Directors.
Her signature ac-
complishment was the introduction
of “Oh Tannenbaum”, a project
where donated decorated Christmas
trees are auctioned off. This project
was nursed through eight years of
growth, becoming the prime holiday
attraction in Owego that raised
$20,000 of badly needed funds for
the museum.
Gae has served on other boards
within the county, and she continues
to serve those in need within the
Special Olympics Group.

DUGAN ROAD FIRE
On Thursday afternoon, February 10,
Campville Fire Department was called
to the scene of a house fire on Dugan
Road. Upon arrival on the scene the
home was fully involved. The home-
owner was in the garage when she saw
smoke coming from the front of the
house and immediately called 911. She
escaped without injuries but within
minutes the house was gone. Campville
firefighters were able to rescue the fam-
ily’s three dogs and were able to contain
the fire before it spread to the attached
garage and home office, which are sepa-
rated from the main structure by fire-
walls. Crews from Campville, Newark
Valley, Owego, West Corners, Welton-
ville, Southside and Union Center
worked in temperatures in the single
digits for several hours. The members
of Campville would like to thank the
local businesses who donated food for
up to 50+ firefighters. The hot coffee,
hot chocolate, pizza, soup, chicken,
salads and donuts were greatly appreci-
ated by the cold and hungry firefighters
that were on the scene.
NEW MEMBERS
Welcome Liz Sells and her son Jacob
Sells to the Campville Fire Department.
Jacob will be an apprentice in the de-
partment and Liz hopes to pursue EMS
skills with the squad.
TRAINING
Due to the inclement weather, training
was limited this past month. Squad re-
viewed squad calls and trained with the
MAST trousers, Sager and Hare splints,
air splints, and were fit tested for the
N100 masks. Fit testing was completed
with the firefighters as well as the year-
ly maintenance to the SCBA gear by the
manufacturer. OSHA requirements are
strictly adhered to for the safety of our
members. A critique was held two days
after the fire with all the departments
who were there. Lessons can be learned
by team efforts, knowledge and listen-
ing. Thank you to all who participated.

Tioga Rural Economic Area Partnership (REAP) Hosts
the Stronger Economies Together Program to Support
Rural Economic Development
Tioga REAP will invite communi-
ty members from Tioga and the
broader Southern Tier to participate
in an in-depth training program to
support regional economic develop-
ment. The Sustainable Tioga 2011
program will use a curriculum called
“Stronger Economies Together (SET),” recently developed by
USDA Rural Development and the
nation’s Regional Rural Develop-
ment Centers (RRDC). Sustainable
Tioga 2011 will use SET to explore
regional economic development op-
portunities, including those related to
bioenergy, as a means to support the
rural economies of our area.
The program will be held in the
Tioga County Office Building, Hub-
bard Auditorium on Wednesday
March 9 starting at 11:30 am.
Why should you attend this pro-
gram? To be competitive in today’s
global economy requires resources (e.g.,
labor, research, technology, equipment)
that rural communities do not have or
cannot support independently. However,
pooling resources in a broader regional
context makes it feasible to support the
infrastructure needed for sustainable
economic development. By working
together with businesses and industries,
universities, financial entities, public
agencies, and community organizations,
rural communities can grow entrepre-
neurs and support dynamic industry
clusters. For example, the emphasis on
bioenergy – renewable energy derived
from biological sources - capitalizes on
the opportunity to link forest and farm
products to the renewable energy market
by mobilizing our local and regional
resources.
Where can you go to get a Return on
Equity of 10.9 % and an overall Rate
of Return of 8.57% ? Well, if you are
a water company you can go to the
Public Service Commission ( PSC )
and ask for a rate increase. The re-
cent United Water Owego-Nichols
( UWON ) proposal is to increase
water rates by 43.2 % . This is on top
of the 2008 request for a 44% in-
crease. Of course, there are company
and outside experts to tell the PSC
why this is needed. Among the rea-
sons they cite are higher pension &
health costs, but the ones that caught
my eye were decreased water con-
sumption ( especially by two large
area industries ), the increased cost of
a new well in Nichols due to con-
struction and permitting delays and
lost income due to Nichols closing
15 of its 30 fire hydrants. It seems
that ever since the Owego Water
Works ( OWW ) merged with the
Nichols unit that overall costs have
been rising dramatically.
The need for a new office is another
reason cited for the 43.2% increase.
Years ago Owego Water Works in-
sisted on sandwiching their office in
a residential area on top of a pump
station. They needed a variance to
locate there. At that time they said
customer traffic would be minimal
since most people mail their bill in
yet they now cite customer traffic as
a reason for needed a new office.
The documents sent to the PSC are
in your local library. You may as
well go and read them since if you
are an United Water Owego-Nichols
customer you are paying for them.

Firefighter Recruitment Day - April 9
The first ever statewide unified
firefighter recruitment day will be
held on Saturday April 9. Come Out
to your local Fire Department and
see what it’s all about.
The Campville, Apalachin, and
Southside Departments are opening
their doors to area residents, so they
can learn about what it takes to be a
volunteer firefighter in their commu-
nity, as part of a statewide program
called Recruit NY. Over the last sev-
eral years, it has been very tough for
many fire departments throughout
New York State to recruit and retain
volunteers for a variety of reasons.
Like most volunteer fire depart-
ments, the Campville, Apalachin,
and Southside Departments needs to
bolster their emergency responder
numbers, so they can continue to
provide the optimum level of protec-
tion for their residents. Now more
than ever, they need more of their
neighbors joining their fire depart-
ments.
On Saturday, April 9, between
12:00pm-3:00pm the Campville,
Apalachin, and Southside Depart-
ments located at Campville Station 1,
6153 State Route 17C; Apalachin
Station 1, 230 Pennsylvania Ave.;
and Southside Fire Station 1, 3120
Waits Rd, will join in an initiative
with volunteer fire departments from
all across the state at their respective
firehouses for a unified recruitment
drive, as part of National Volunteer
Week 2011. Not only will Recruit
NY be an opportunity to highlight
the duties and rewards that come
with being a volunteer firefighter, it
will also raise public awareness
about the need for volunteers. The
hope is that a collaborative effort
among volunteer fire departments
statewide will turn the declining
number of volunteer firefighters
around.
Throughout the afternoon, the
Campville, Apalachin, and Southside
Departments will conduct tours of
the station and firefighter apparatus.
The fire departments will discuss the
requirements to be a volunteer, as
well as conduct demonstrations, an-
swer questions, and let visitors know
how to get involved in the fire de-
partment.
On Sunday, April 10, from
8:00am-11:00am the Campville Fire
Dept. will also be holding an open
house along with their bi-annual pan-
cake breakfast! For more info please
visit them on the web at
www.campvillefd.com.
Always On Sunday
For this month's “Always on Sun-
day” concert, The Tioga County
Council on the Arts presents Kirk
Dougherty, Tenor and Resident Art-
ist with Tri-Cities Opera. Kirk will
be singing a variety of songs from
his extensive repertoire during this
afternoon of "Opera & Song".
Versatile tenor Kirk Dougherty
has appeared in oratorio, opera and
concert performances in the US and
Europe, with numerous musical or-
ganizations like Tri-Cities Opera of
Binghamton, Bronx Opera, the Dell
Arte Opera Ensemble, and Opera
Rochester.
Mr. Dougherty is a Resident Art-
ist at Tri-Cities Opera in Bing-
hamton, and has recently performed
the roles of Ferrando in Cosi fan
tutte and Alfredo in Verdi's La Tra-
viata with Tri-Cities Opera. In April
and May, he will sing the title role in
Offenbach's Les Contes D'Hoffmann
with TCO.
His operatic repertoire includes
over 30 tenor roles, from the more
standard Ferrando (Cosi fan Tutte),
Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni), Elvino
(La Sonnambula), Alfredo (La Tra-
viata), Nemorino (L'Elisir d'Amore),
and Rodolfo (La Boheme), to such
challenging roles as Valere in Kirke
Mechem's Tartuffe and the varying
tenor characters of Conrad Susa's
daring Transformations. His concert
repertoire includes the Evangelist in
Bach's masterpieces, the St. Mat-
thew Passion and St. John Passion,
Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn
& Strings, and the Mozart Requiem.
This performance is sponsored by
Dr. and Mrs. Delos Aumock, with
support from the Cooper Foundation
and the Tioga County Senior Citi-
zens Foundation.
Always on Sunday Concert
"Opera and Song" featuring Kirk
Dougherty, Tenor with Tri-Cities
Opera will be preformed on March
20th, 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. at the First
Presbyterian Union Church, corner
of North Avenue and Temple Street,
Owego.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Dangers of Tobacco
It’s amazing what you learn when
you start a new job. Last week I
started as the new Tobacco Free Tio-
ga Coordinator. I have found some
interesting information that I want to
share with my community. Did you
know that tobacco is the leading
cause of preventable death in the
US? 1/2 of long term smokers will
die from smoking? Cigarettes are
responsible for killing close to half a
million people per year (that is ap-
proximately 1,200 people per day).
This is more than alcohol use,
HIV/AIDS, cocaine and heroin use,
homicides, suicides, motor vehicle
crashes and fires combined.
Secondhand smoke causes about
50,000 deaths nationwide every
year. I am discovering new infor-
mation everyday and if you are inter-
ested in learning more about the dan-
gers of tobacco please visit
www.tobaccofreebt.com or email me

Story Hour at Candor Free Library
is in full swing. Once again Miss Teri
(Teri Brogdale) is presenting an hour of
stories, songs, fingerplays and games
that focus on literacy. This year she is
adding something new - she's incorpo-
rating American Sign Language.
While Story Hour activities are de-
veloped with the pre-school crowd in
mind, all ages are welcome. In past
years older home schooling siblings
have enjoyed story hour, and babies and
lap-sitters love participating in the ac-
tivities. Story hour is also a great place
for mothers to meet friends!
Story Hour begins at 10:15 each
Tuesday morning at the Candor Free
Library (Bank and Main Street).
It is free, fun, informative! If you - or a
friend - have young children, drop by
for story hour. For questions, contact
the library at 659-7258.

The Apalachin Lions Club
awarded the Uplinger Award to Lion
John Sobotka (center). This award is
in recognition of John’s service to
the community and leadership with-
in the Lions organization at the local
and state level. John’s organization
skills have enabled the Christmas
basket project to reach more people
and allowed this project to do more
with less. These skills have also
been applied to fund raising at the
local club level to ensure growth
was there to provide funds for sup-
port of the community in projects
like the Christmas basket program
and eye cases for those in need.

yet wanting to rid yourselves of your
old pictures and would like to give
them to her.
Joan is also looking for old Candor

Girl Scouting Celebrating 99 Years
Girl Scouts of NYPENN Path-
ways, Inc. joins Girl Scouts across
the country in celebrating Girl Scout
Week and the 99th anniversary of
Girl Scouts from March 6-12.
It was on March 12, 1912 that
founder, Juliette Gordon Low, as-
sembled 18 girls from Savannah,
Georgia for a local Girl Scout meet-
ing. Low believed that all girls
should be given the opportunity to
develop physically, mentally, and
spiritually. Within a few years her
dream for a girl-centered organiza-
tion was realized. Today, Girl Scouts
of the USA has a membership of
over 3.2 million girls and adults, in-
cluding nearly 19,000 girls locally.
As Girl Scouts of the USA pre-
pares to celebrate its centennial anni-
versary next year, many activities
and events are being planned both
locally and nationally to celebrate the
history of Girl Scouting and look
forward to the future.
A nationwide take action project
entitled Girl Scouts Forever Green
will allow Girl Scouts of all ages,
volunteers, and alumnae to partici-
pate in a meaningful leadership expe-
rience that makes a huge positive
impact on the environment. There
will also be a 100th anniversary cele-
bration on the mall in Washington
D.C. in June 2012. The Girl Scouts
of NYPENN Pathways is planning
on offering a bus trip to the celebra-
tion. Stories from alumnae are also
being collected locally. To share a
story, visit www.gsnypenn.org/

versary, visit www.gsnypenn.org.
Boy Scouts Annual
Friends of Scouting Campaign
The Hiawatha District of the Ba-
den-Powell Council, Boy Scouts of
America announces the kickoff of its
2011 Friends of Scouting Campaign
which will benefit over 1,316 Cub
Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers and
Explorers in Broome and Tioga
Counties. The FOS campaign will
run through June 1.
For the past 101 years it has been
the mission of the Boy Scouts of
America to prepare young people to
make ethical and moral choices over
their lifetimes by instilling in them
the values of the Scout Oath and
Law. In order for the Hiawatha Dis-
trict to continue its mission of ser-
vice to local youth over $34,000
must be raised.
“The Friends of Scouting cam-
paign is a very important way to
show support for Scouting,” said
Don Perkins District Commissioner.
“Through the support of individuals
and businesses in our community,
youth are able to make life-long
memories and acquire skills that
they could obtain in no other way.”
It is through the generosity of indi-
vidual donors and organizations that
the Council can continue to provide
a Scouting program that is afforda-
ble for local youth, provide re-
sources and training for area leaders,
and each year reach out to another
generation of Broome and Tioga
County youth.
This past year, of the 75 young
men that earned their prestigious
Eagle Scout Award from the Baden-
Powell Council, 28 were from
Broome County and 11 were from
Tioga County.
Now, more than ever, the Scout-
ing program needs the support of the
citizens of Broome and Tioga Coun-
ties. Locally, the Boy Scout program
does not receive government fund-
ing.
To make a gift to the local
Friends of Scouting campaign or for
more information on Scouting in
Broome or Tioga Counties, contact
Sean Butterworth, District Executive
or call the Council office at (607)
648-7888.

CAR KEYS by Ron Craig
I gave everyone who reads this
column a break from my complaints
but the vacation is over. I am back
with a few gripes. Actually they are
more like observations. I don’t want
to be blamed for picking on any-
body. First of all I am sure that all of
you have seen vehicles driving
around with different logos and
sports stickers on their windows and
that’s okay. I have done it too. The
ones that I don’t understand are the
ones on the top of the windshield
that tell you what sound system they
have in the car. When I see
"ALPINE" on the windshield I fig-
ure they want you to know they have
a high dollar set up in the car. While
they are at it, why don’t they tell you
where they park it at night. Its like
saying to the would be thieves that
you have something worth breaking
into. In some cases it appears the
sound system is worth more than the
car it is installed in. To each their
own I guess.
Observation number two. Is it me
or are the roads more bumpy than
they have been in years? Sometimes
they sneak up on you and before you
can slow down your front end feels
like it’s going to fall off. I’m sure
the suspension and alignment busi-
ness will be booming after this win-
ter. I was told the reason they are so
bad this year is because the cracks in
the blacktop were not sealed and the
water got under and frost set in. I do
not know if this is the case but be-
ware. Don’t forget pothole season is
coming up. Another springtime haz-
ard to look out for. Normally winter
does not bother me but this year I am
ready for summer.
Observation number three. We
all hear about road rage and I see it
almost every day since I am on the
road a lot. That part the bothers me
is when you are doing everything
right and they still harass you. For
example one day I am driving home
at night in my car doing the speed
limit. There is a car that came out of
nowhere and was so close to my rear
bumper I could not see the head-
lights.
They tailgated me all the way to
my house and when I slowed to turn
in my driveway, they laid on the
horn all the way past my house like I
was doing something wrong! I
would have liked to see a trooper
nearby to see it but I’m not that
lucky. That is unless I was the tail-
gater.
And finally the price of gas going
up. Need I say more. We should be
used to this by now. Every year at
this time the price starts creeping up
and usually peaks around Memorial
Day. The excuses are endless and I
wont even go there. I guess that’s all
my "observations" for now.
Don’t worry, I will have more
soon. Here’s a tip for you. After the
frost is out of the ground, have your
suspension parts and alignment
checked. It’s money well spent in
the long run. And to all the stereo
thieves out there, all I have is the
standard AM-FM. Sorry!
Green Isn’t Always Good This is the case with the Emerald Ash
Borer (EBA), a little green beetle, which
destroys ash trees. The EBA was first
discovered in Michigan, in 2002 and has
spread to 15 states including New York
since then. To help prevent the spread of
EAB New York state has issued a fire-
wood regulation as of June 2008 not to
move firewood over 50 miles from
where it has been cut. Once infested
with EAB an ash tree will die within 2
to 4 years. The EAB poses a safety haz-
ard to towns and villages because ash is
commonly used as street trees. Once
infested ash trees die, they become brit-
tle and limbs and branches will break off
creating liability issues for towns. Plan-
ning ahead can help communities pre-
pare for both the economic and physical
impacts of an infestation of this invasive
species. Effective plans will include a
survey to identify the location of ash
trees, and actions for removing dead
trees and/or protecting trees with pesti-
cides. Once trees become infested it
may be too late to make arrangements to
treat trees with pesticides. EAB also
poses a threat to private forest owners as
well. These owners should take a look at
their forest management plans and deter-
mine a course of action prior to the arri-
val of EAB. The EAB has the potential
to destroy ash populations throughout
the state, and action needs to taken to
help preserve our forests and urban
trees.

Agriculture in the Classroom Announces 2011 Ag Literacy Week
Which came first, the chicken or the
egg? This is a question that many have
asked, but how many students even un-
derstand that eggs come from chickens
and not the grocery store? During Na-
tional Agriculture Week, students
throughout New York will be learning
about the variety of products that the
poultry industry provides during the
sixth annual New York Agriculture Lit-
eracy Week, coordinated by New York
Agriculture in the Classroom.
Cornell Cooperative Extension, Tio-
ga County will be organizing local vol-
unteers and teachers to read to second
graders around the county next month
for Ag Literacy Week (March 21st-25th).
Ag Literacy Week will be celebrated
across the state in second grade class-
rooms with a visit from a community
member involved in local agriculture.
This year’s book is the Chicks & Chick-
ens written by Gail Gibbons, which will
be read to the class and then donated to
the school library. Teachers receive a
resource packet including additional
lessons and information on the poultry
industry. Interested first through third
grade teachers should contact Susannah
Reese at [email protected] or 607-687-
4020.
This annual event is an opportunity
to connect with and educate children
about their food source. If you are inter-
ested in volunteering please contact Su-
sannah Reese at [email protected] or
607-687-4020.
Another way for volunteers and
teachers to help children understand
agriculture is involvement in the annual
Be Aware of New York Agriculture Con-
test. For more information about Ag
Literacy Day, Be Aware, and other Ag
in the Classroom programs, visit the
website www.nyaged.org/aitc.

Eat, Drink & Be Healthy
Grant Awarded to Historical Society
The Tioga County Historical So-
ciety would like to thank the Fannie
C Hyde Charitable Trust for the re-
cently awarded grant.
The grant has allowed the museum
to install better security devices on
site. These devices augment the pre-
viously existing security system,
improving security coverage and
theft accountability. Installation of
these grant awarded components is
under way and should be completed
soon. The Historical Society is ex-
cited about this opportunity to create
a more secure environment for the
collections and exhibit materials.
The society would not have been
able to achieve this upgrade without
the support of the Hyde Charitable
Trust.
The Fannie C Hyde Trust has
been awarding grants to support Tio-
ga County and other areas in Upstate
New York since its establishment in
1964. The Historical Society is
thankful to the Hyde Trust for the
continued support throughout the
years.
The Historical Society hopes this
recent grant award will give it the
ability to bring in outside exhibits to
the museum, display rarer or more
valuable items from their own col-
lection, and create a secure environ-
ment for patrons and staff.
MARCH 2011 PAGE 14 _____ _ TIOGA COUNTY COMMUNITY PRESS
Last year Tioga Downs in
conjunction with their horsemen’s
group, the STHHA, experimented
with a pilot program to lower their
takeout rates across the board to
New York state minimums, and Tio-
ga is proud to announce that it will
continue with the program in 2011. The original Tioga Downs’
takeout rates were 18% for WPS;
20% for Exactas/Doubles and 25%
for all other exotics. For the 2011
race season the price of those wagers
will be reduced as they were in 2010
to: 15% WPS; 17% Exacta/Double
and 21% for all other exotics.
“We are happy that the pro-
gram was a success last year and we
will continue to support the race-
tracks lower rates this year. The
STHHA understands that manage-
ment is focusing on our bettors con-
cerns and we support that 100 per-
cent” said Guy Howard, President of
the STHHA.
“We made the move last
year to reduce the takeouts across the
board and we got a lot of positive
feedback from horseplayers across
the country. This is an initiative that
we stand behind and believe that
more tracks should make the move
to lower takeouts” said Jason M. Set-
tlemoir, VP of Racing and Simul-
cast.
Tioga Downs kicks off its
2011 race season on Kentucky Derby
Day, Saturday, May 7, 2011 with a
post time of 6:50 pm.

Gallery 41 Artisans of the Month
NEW is the word for Gallery Forty-one, as several new artisans will be featured this month. You will want to drop in to welcome these new artisans to Owego, and the gallery, and be inspired by their work. Cary Joseph, works with wood-fired porcelain and gas-fired white and brown stoneware. He explains, "My wheel-thrown porcelain and stoneware are inspired by the juxta-position of movement and stillness. I try to create pieces that are beauti-ful as well as functional. His pieces are superbly designed and appeal-ing.
Julie Crosby's unique pottery meets her own goal, to make pots that are beautiful, sturdy and func-tional. She begins with a certain weight of clay, which dictates the type of vessel to be made. Pictured
is a lovely coffee pot with matching filter-holder, to make a perfect cup of coffee. Also in her display are many bowls of varying shapes and sizes in bronze and gold shades with a rich luster finish. Johanna Hawtoff designs very attractive beaded bracelets with un-usual clasps that sparkle in the midst of her dazzling beads of many colors and shapes. New Eco Artist, Justin Kovac's wall sculptures are developed from ab-stract drawings he renders, and are constructed using primarily eco friendly materials. Justin's beliefs in sustainability drive his commitment to using environmentally friendly practices in the development of his unique pieces. Justin's interests in-clude sustainable living, raw foods, health, politics and music. Nadine Boncek, a retired art teacher, works in altered art/collage. She has been featured twice in Som-erset magazine. Her sly sense of hu-mor is displayed in her pictorial mag-nets. All new to Gallery Forty-one! 41 Lake Street, Owego, NY. Winter hours are Thursday through Satur-day, 11- 5. and, Art Walk night March 18 from 5-8:30.

His love of music and dancing dis-
rupts his high school and sends the

Driving Safety Tip
On cold frosty mornings before you start out scrape all the ice and frost off your windows. If not, you could end up like this driver who headed out into the bright sun-light morning without cleaning his windows properly. The few minuets it takes to clean the windows is well worth it.

will be held on Wednesday, March 30,
from 1 – 6PM at the new Waverly Vil-
lage Hall, 32 Ithaca Street, Waverly,
New York. The name of “Putting it all

ning Committee, as we can make a huge
difference in the lives of our residents
when we bring together all the resources
our area has to offer. The first Expo was
held last March, in Owego, so this year
the planners decided to move the event
to the Valley.

case the wealth of services available to
valley residents during these difficult
economic times, when more people than
ever are struggling to get their family’s
needs met. The event will feature ap-
proximately 50 providers of various
community services. There will be fun,
family-oriented activities and giveaway
items available from the exhibitors, as
well as refreshments. Please plan to join
us!
