To bike, or not to bike? That is the question many Bloomington residents are asking.

Bikers are a common sight all around town. Some are cycling enthusiasts, while others bike just to get around.

As the first “Bicycle Friendly Community” in Indiana, Bloomington is among an elite group.

According to the City of Bloomington’s website, to be recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a “Bicycle Friendly Community,” a city must demonstrate “longstanding commitments to providing safe accommodation and facilities for bicyclists, and for their efforts to encourage bicycle travel for transportation and recreation.”

SHARING THE ROADS

Part of being a bike-friendly community means bikers and motorists are allowed to share the roads, so the same rules apply to both parties. Theoretically, safety should not be a problem, assuming everyone follows the traffic laws.

“Most serious cyclists are aware of — and follow — traffic laws, because they know they are required to follow the same laws as vehicles,” said Capt. Joe
Qualters of the Bloomington Police Department in an e-mail. “They also know that this is
designed to ensure their safety.”

“Less serious and/or casual cyclists tend to be more careless about following traffic laws either because they don’t know they have to or because they see riding in town as an extension of riding on campus, where it might not be as necessary.”

In the community, motorists notice when bikers do not obey the rules of the road.

“I’m all for people biking, but I feel sometimes that bikers do not obey road rules,” Bloomington resident Regina Catz said. “Like with a stop sign — sometimes they zoom by, and you don’t know what to expect from them.”

Motorists are not the only ones frustrated when bikers don’t follow the rules.

“I get mad when I see other bikers cutting people off, because it kind of ruins it for the rest of us,” said Vince Jennings, a Jimmy John’s on-bike deliveryman.

Though bikers are more
likely to get away with breaking traffic laws than motorists, they can receive tickets for disobedience.

“The most common offenses cited would probably be disregarding a stop sign, disregarding an automatic signal or wrong way on a one-way,” Qualters said.

Sharing the roads means the motorists and bikers must work together to ensure the safety of all parties involved. Buses are among the many groups affected by Bloomington’s policy of “sharing the roads.” The impact bikers have on buses is not necessarily a positive one.

Bloomington Transit bus driver Beverly Stalcup has to deal with bikers on a daily basis.

“The bicyclists don’t realize we are on a tight schedule, and they do slow us down quite a bit,” Stalcup said. “I don’t think they realize sometimes that they can move over maybe an inch or two and that would give us plenty of room to get through. The problem is that they’re not paying attention to traffic and they tend to try to go down the middle of the road.”

Stalcup said the people of Bloomington are bicycle-friendly,
but that “sometimes we’re not tolerant enough.”

BIKERS JUST WANT TO HELP

Bikers understand the value of being in a bicycle-friendly community, and the city of Bloomington provides educational tools on the rights and responsibilities of bikers to increase the safety and efficiency of biking.

“I feel relatively safe on the roads, but am conscious about what roads I choose to ride on and try to minimize riding on those roads that might not be safe for me or the motorists who have to share the road with a bicyclist,” said Qualters, an occasional cyclist himself.

Jennings also said he actively tries to be safer on the road when making bike deliveries.

“If I see blind turns, I try to get out so I’m most visible,” Jennings said.

However, not all bikers share the mentality of Jennings.

“I try to agitate cars as much as possible,” Bloomington resident Gabe Rivera said.

Even bikers who follow the rules can be tainted by less law-abiding bikers. Side effects of rowdy biking include being yelled at by motorists. Ryan Shanahan, an employee at the Bicycle Garage, Inc., on Kirkwood Avenue, said he generally feels safe on the roads.

“Sometimes when we’re out riding, people will honk at us, lay the horn on really loud and come a little closer than they should,” Shanahan said.

Does this suggest the people of Bloomington aren’t too keen on having cyclists around — or just that they aren’t keen on having people who don’t follow the rules cluttering the streets?

The general consensus is that Bloomington is bike friendly. However, it is an entirely different story outside of town.

“People in town are more friendly because of Little 500 spirit,” Jennings said. “Once you get a mile, mile and a half out of town, it’s the other end of the spectrum. They don’t think bikes belong on the road.”

Improvements such as bike paths have been made to certain city roads, but to be completely bike-friendly, the feeling must permeate all over town.

The start of the school year is sure to bring more cyclists
into town.

“With the influx of students in the next few weeks, motorists should be aware of the increase in bicycles and motor vehicles — with many not being fully aware of where they are going or not being familiar with Bloomington’s streets,” Qualters said. “Exercising patience during this time is strongly encouraged, and use caution when driving in areas frequented by new and
returning students.”

Former UCLA point guard and national champion Tyus Edney has returned to the school’s men’s basketball team, joining the staff as director of operations, coach Ben Howland announced Aug. 2.

Edney enjoyed an illustrious career as a student-athlete in Westwood, one that culminated in the program’s most recent NCAA title in 1995 and included one of the most memorable plays in college basketball history.

With 4.8 seconds to go and the Bruins trailing against Missouri in the second round of the 1995 NCAA Tournament, Edney took the inbounds pass and sprinted the length of the court to make a buzzer-beating layup that won the game and saved UCLA’s season. The play inserted Edney’s name into the lexicon of college basketball, while its video clip is still shown today on nearly every all-time March Madness highlight reel.

Edney’s professional playing days – which included four NBA seasons and a passport full of top European teams – came to an end just last year, prompting Howland to offer the 37-year-old Southern California native a job with his alma mater.

“This is something that I’ve always wanted to do,” Edney said in a statement released by the UCLA Athletic Department. “I’m very fortunate to be ending my pro career now with this opportunity presenting itself.

“I’m thankful that Coach Howland gave me this opportunity and has the confidence that I can bring something new and exciting to this great program.”

The spot on the bench opened up after Joe Hillock ended his three-year tenure with the Bruins to return to coaching high school basketball.

This is the second shuffle of the offseason for Howland’s coaching ranks. Longtime assistant coach Donny Daniels left UCLA to join the staff at Gonzaga and was replaced by former University of San Francisco coach Phil Mathews in April.

“I’m really excited that Tyus is joining our staff and returning to the UCLA men’s basketball program,” Howland said in the statement. “He’s a Bruin through and through, having graduated from UCLA, and brings a wealth of knowledge and energy to the program.

“I feel our student-athletes will benefit greatly from dealing with Tyus on a daily basis because he has experienced the things they will experience here at UCLA.”

Despite standing just 5 feet 10 inches tall, Edney made the All-Pac-10 first team during three consecutive seasons in his collegiate career and accumulated an impressive statistical resume. He is the school’s second all-time leader in assists, averaging 5.2 per game, and third in steals with 1.8 per contest.

Shortly after the Bruins won the national championship, the Sacramento Kings selected Edney with the 47th pick in the 1995 NBA Draft. It was there that he would play the best years of his American professional career, starting 60 games in his rookie season with the Kings while sharing the backcourt with perennial All-Star Mitch Richmond.

After a short stint with the Boston Celtics and one with the Indiana Pacers, Edney found success playing basketball in Europe, joining teams in Italy, Greece, Spain and Poland.

UCLA was not Edney’s only championship team, as he led the Lithuanian team Zalgiris Kaunas to a Euroleague title in 1999. Edney took home the league’s Final Four MVP trophy that year, an honor shared by such NBA stars as Manu Ginobili and Dominique Wilkins.

Edney’s official return to Pauley Pavilion will be on Nov. 12 when the UCLA men’s hoops team kicks off its 92nd season against Cal State Northridge.

Senior and co-captain of the Indiana U. women’s club soccer team Rebecca Davis has concerns about the condition of the field available to her team for weekly practices.

“It’s hard and it’s dry, and half the time there’s no grass,” Davis said. “It’s not flat, you just can’t even control the ball and you can’t get a good touch, so basically you can’t get any worthwhile practicing.”

More than 40 club sport teams exist through Campus Recreational Sports, and many use Woodlawn Field to practice.

The field, next to the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, is one of two available to club sports members for practice and is frequently criticized by those who use it.

The field is associated with HPER and, up until three years ago, was managed exclusively through the HPER’s dean’s office. Now, the responsibility for daily facility operations belongs to Recreational Sports.

Kathryn Bayless, director of Rec Sports, oversees the care of the field.

“We do facility inspections, work with the campus units to make sure that it’s being mowed, that it’s being seeded, that it’s being fertilized, that it’s being aerated and that it’s being maintained,” Bayless said.

The field is used for three primary activities: club sports, self-directed participation and informal sports such as pick-up frisbee, soccer or running around the track.

IU Men’s Rugby Club president Evan Kaufman said the Woodlawn field ranks far behind many of the other fields on campus because of the poor playing surface.

“There are many potholes, and the ground is uneven,” Kaufman said in an e-mail. “Comparing this to other fields on campus — whether that be public, club sports or varsity — it is unacceptable for student use.”

One of the biggest concerns of students who use the fields is the risk of injury caused by the poor playing surface.

“I and many of the other rugby players have rolled ankles on the field,” Kaufman said. “We actually moved touch-rugby away from this field because of the injury risk.”

But Bayless said Rec Sports is serious about risk management.

“When we have to, we close the field off for use because it has the conditions that we’re not able to correct,” she said. “So we close it off until that action can be undertaken.”

Bayless said Rec Sports realizes the field requires much more maintenance.

“We are concerned that it is not frequent enough, but there’s no funding source and there’s no commitment that the staffing will be available to be able to take on additional work,” Bayless said.

The office is in the process of recruiting extra help to keep the fields up to standards, Bayless said.

“One of the things that we’re exploring is to work through the University to put out a bid for an outside vendor to come on board to provide a regular scheduled maintenance regiment for the Woodlawn field,” Bayless said.

Tom Izzo: $3 million. Mike Krzyzewski: $4 million. John Calipari: more than $4 million. MCCSC coaches: $0.

When the decision was made to remove stipends for coaches in the 2010-11 school year due to budget shortfalls, it was unclear what the effects would be on the MCCSC schools’ athletics departments.

Coaches are forced to decide between their teams and their wallets, and many current players and IU athletes with ties to the district’s teams aren’t sure whether they’d be able to make the same choice.

The loss of stipends wouldn’t stop IU softball player Kelsey Brannon from coaching, if she were placed in that situation.

“At this point, I would coach for free,” Brannon said. “I try to get up to my old high school as much as I can to help them even when we are in season. I enjoy being around the game and being around younger athletes. It helps remind you of your own younger experiences, especially if they were positive ones. … I want these student-athletes to have a memorable high school sport experience just like I did.”

Brannon spent four years playing varsity softball for Bloomington High School North, and the sophomore has aspirations of eventually becoming a coach. And while Brannon said she might have to reconsider the decision if it didn’t make ends meet financially, as a young coach she would put in the time for free.

Fellow Hoosier Joe Holahan said he agrees with Brannon.

“It would all come down to the opportunity cost of coaching — meaning, would it be worth my time?” Holahan said. “Personally, I would still coach with the pay cut because I would be coaching for the love of the sport and help develop kids into young adults.

“If I truly wanted money for coaching, I would try to go coach at the collegiate level.”
Holahan is also from Monroe County and spent four years excelling in both cross country and track at Bloomington High School South. He still competes for both sports, but this time in a cream and crimson uniform rather than a purple and gold one.

Holahan’s former South classmate and Indiana quarterback Ben Chappell also believes coaches coach because they love the sport.

“I don’t know the exact dollar amount they are losing by not getting paid for coaching,” Chappell said. “But … I still think most high school coaches though coach because of passion and not necessarily money.”

INITIAL REACTIONS — AND WILL THE COACHES STAY?

The public reaction of the MCCSC budget cuts was general shock, as many did not believe the school district would resort to cutting something so important to both the community and the students.

It even came as a surprise to the coaches directly affected by the cuts.

“At first I assumed that I was just out of the loop on what was going on,” Holahan said when he found out. “But then I talked to my high school coach a few days later only to find out that he was just as surprised as I was. It just seems unfair in the sense that none of the coaches were notified of such a proposal.”

Many of the former North and South and now IU student-athletes initially expressed large concern for the effect this would have on the students currently enrolled.

“I couldn’t believe that our school system had gotten to the point where that was necessary,” Brannon said. “I am worried the kids will suffer from all of this.”

However, not all former Bloomington athletes were as surprised or mystified when they found out about the stipend cuts.

Chappell said that because his mother teaches within the Bloomington system, he knew the corporation was struggling and would be forced to make more budget cuts.

“I guess the people in charge just felt like that was an expense that was expendable,” Chappell said.

Because the fundraising efforts for the $750,000 needed to provide the stipend for all of the extracurricular activities have yet to be completed, it is currently unknown how many of the coaches will stay and how many will choose to go elsewhere.

But a key component to the coaches staying goes beyond the money — it rests with location and their families.

“I think a majority of the coaches will stay mainly because their families and lives are here,” IU soccer player and former South standout Caleb Konstanski said. “I know for a majority of them they are also getting paid either teachers’ salaries or athletic director salaries, which I know are not much, but it’s tough to find any job right now, especially in the coaching/teaching field.”

However, if coaches do stay and their stipends are not provided through fundraisers, they might spend less time working with their athletes.

“I don’t think that they may leave, but just won’t spend as much time in the offseason preparing and working with the athletes,” Brannon said. “They will prefer doing other things, like spending time with their own kids.

“This, in turn, will cause the team to be weaker and not be able to compete as well with others.”

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Athletics and extracurricular activities are a beneficial part of grade school for many students and help some gain scholarships for college. However, the MCCSC situation is tricky — do students leave for a different school or perhaps follow a coach elsewhere? Or, do they stay and potentially lose scholarships due to coaching losses?

For many, the choice to leave simply isn’t an option — and for some, not even something they would consider.

“If I were still in high school, I would stay put right where I was,” Holahan said. “When it comes down to it, school is about academics first, and I could never see myself transferring high schools based on sports — I’m just not a fan of that.”
Brannon echoed Holahan’s sentiments.

“I believe that I would have stayed … and made the most of the situation,” Brannon said. “If that meant having a parent as a coach, so be it. If we didn’t do as many offseason workouts, I would just work harder on my own.”

But for some, high school might not be the key for getting noticed by universities and other higher academic institutions, Konstanski said.

“What you do outside of your high school, whether it be club sport, AAU or camps, is really what gets you recognized by college coaches,” he said.

CURRENT BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETES

Those currently in the system had quite different reactions to the budget cuts than the college athletes.

Lindsay McKnight, a junior at Bloomington North, was more than worried about the future of her sport. McKnight will be heading into her third year of high school gymnastics minus an assistant coach who chose to leave because of the stipend cuts.

“It was very scary when I heard the salaries had been cut,” Mcknight said. “The one thought that kept running through my head was, ‘What is going to happen to the gymnastics team?’

“I was also wondering ‘Why would they do this?’”

The loss of the coaching stipends affects the gymnastic team on a daily basis more severely than other teams, as there is much more one-on-one work involved with every practice, McKnight said.

This is particularly an issue when spotters are needed, or even when two groups of the eight-member team split up on different apparatuses. The meets will also be different because of the loss of a coach.

“During meets, one coach is writing down scores or running our lines up to the judges, and the other coach is sitting and talking with us while we stretch, and so it will be a big change,” McKnight said. “We will have to probably get more parents involved helping out at meets.”

Unfortunately, because many parents are already involved with the meets, the gymnastics team might struggle to find more volunteers to help with their daily interactions.

But even with these new changes to practices and meets, McKnight has no intention of leaving the program at North.

The stipend cuts will affect the team sports as well, but not quite as much as the individual and smaller sports. And even though they might not be as altered, athletes within the team sports were still shocked to find out.

“Our head football coach at North, Scott Bless, set us all down in the weight room and told us exactly what was happening,” sophomore football player Durrel Hembree said.
“I, along with all the other football players, was stunned when we were told that basically the coaches were being forced to volunteer. Immediately the thoughts poured into my head of the things these coaches have done for us.”

The meeting was to inform the players that none of the coaches would be leaving North, even though they risked not getting paid for their efforts.

“Had any coaches decided to leave the program, that would be a very upsetting thing to hear,” Hembree said. “It would be even more so if they had left, as there is no way we could replace them with zero coaching compensation available.”

While the current removal of stipends has not had a direct change among the coaching staff at North, Hembree said he thinks there could be one in the future. But for now, while the football staff remains intact, he feels bad for sports that were not so lucky.

“I feel like the teachers and coaches that run extracurricular activities have such an impact on young men’s and women’s lives,” Hembree said. “Without that link, some may be lost in translation from middle school to high school.”

On Sunday afternoon in Campustown the streets were busy and people were out and about, but the Quad was empty. Parks across campus were also empty as many people were inside, watching the World Cup or avoiding the heat.

“People usually stay inside all the time, I think they forgot how much there is to do here and all the facilities that we have,” Patrick Guan, recent graduate from the College of Business said.

Guan enjoys having easier access to facilities during the summer because they are not as crowded and he does not have to wait.

“It’s a lot more convenient to play tennis now than during the summer,” Guan said.

Champaign resident Dave Hensleigh discovered places to go on a run across campus.

“I saw this basketball court (Campus Recreation Outdoor center Fields located on the corner of First and Stadium), and how nice it was and new that it would be the perfect place to take Joel (my son),” Hensleigh said. “Nobody is ever using these during the summer, so it’s nice to be able to take advantage of it. We don’t usually come over here.”

Hensleigh enjoys finding different places to go in downtown Champaign. He also likes to explore the various parks in the Champaign-Urbana area.

West Side Park; located at 400 W University, Dodds Park; located at 1501 N Mattis, and Centennial Park; located in Champaign, are the biggest parks in the city of Champaign. In Urbana, Meadowbrook park; located southeast of the Race Street and Windsor Road intersection, and Carle Park, located at Indiana and Garfield are the largest.

Matthew Hayes, graduate student in Political Science, enjoys using parks around Champaign and the campus facilities, even with Champaign’s unpredictable weather.

“It has been a little crazy with this weather lately, I end up getting caught in the rain a lot,” Hayes said.

He plays a lot of basketball at parks across Champaign and was using the sand courts at the Outdoor Center Fields to do sprints.

The Complex Fields, located on the corner of Florida and Lincoln Avenue are closed during the summer.

With a membership, the ARC pool is open daily for people who want to cool off in the hot Illinois weather. Also, Roland Realty has two outdoor pools, one located in the 309 Green Building and another outside the complex at First and Daniel Streets.

Guan is not a big swimmer, but said a lot of his friends enjoy using the various outdoor pools.

“It’s easy to get caught up in your schoolwork and forget about what there is to do,” Guan said.

U. Iowa has an addiction.

No, this isn’t another binge-drinking editorial. We’re referring to our use of coal, the dirtiest way — and, in Iowa, the most common — to create electricity. Environmental advocates met with University of Iowa officials late last week to get them to commit to reducing the UI’s reliance on the energy source.

The Editorial Board applauds these students for the necessary pressure they have placed on UI officials. It’s imperative that the UI transition from coal-based energy to cleaner energy sources.

At the UI Power Plant, 53 percent of the UI’s energy is coal-generated. Biomass accounts for 12 percent, natural gas 11 percent, and purchased electricity 24 percent, according to UI spokesman Tom Moore. The numbers are a five-year average from 2005 to 2009. The Power Plant’s two coal-powered boilers use approximately 100,000 tons of coal annually.

These troubling figures only underscore the Midwest’s disproportionate use of coal to generate energy. According to the Environmental Law and Policy Center, an advocacy group based in the Midwest, carbon pollution from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin makes up 20 percent of the carbon pollution in the United States. That’s more global-climate-change pollution than nearly every country in the world.

The UI can be part of the solution.

Officials should release a specific timetable detailing its efforts to wean the university off coal. We all know the university is happy to publicize its support for sustainability and reducing energy.

And, to their credit, officials have taken some positive steps to cut the university’s carbon emissions. The Power Plant also burns oat hulls, which provide 12 percent of the UI’s energy use.

The Energy Hawk program has saved millions of dollars by improving energy efficiency. The Environmental Protection Agency recently recognized the university for using green energy.

Still, we don’t need vacuous statements that simply restate the need for sustainability, bereft of any substantive action. It’s essential that the officials make a firm, explicit commitment to drastically reduce coal burning.

And that’s what left some of the environmental activists uneasy.

“What we understood from the meeting is that they don’t have a plan,” Graham Jordison, a representative of the Sierra Club, told The Daily Iowan. “If there is one, they don’t really know where it is.”

Coal is much too harmful to the environment to continue burning and spewing it into the atmosphere. As temperatures rise, glaciers melt, and millions in the developing world are faced with crippling droughts, it’s unconscionable for us not to act. Iowa City is often seen as a progressive, globally minded community. The UI’s continued use of a coal-powered plant for the majority of its energy flies directly in the face of that perception.

In times of financial malaise, it’s undoubtedly difficult to sharply move away from a relatively cheap energy source such as coal. Like most addictions, it’s a hard one to break. But it’s necessary all the same.

Ferman Milster, the Power Plant’s head of strategic planning, told the DI that the UI could decrease its coal use by more than half in the next three to five years.

And it should do just that.

The Michigan football team will make history on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011 when it takes the field at 8 p.m. eastern time to play rival Notre Dame in the first-ever primetime football game at the Big House.

New athletic director David Brandon made the announcement about the historic game on Thursday. The game will be televised nationally on either ESPN or ESPN2.

“It’s exciting for them as student athletes to be able to perform in front of a lot of people,” Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said. “From a coaching standpoint, it’s obviously a great benefit in recruiting when the nation gets to watch you play. And I think it’s also great for the University, in a sense. You have a three, three-and-a-half hour commercial that shows off the great University and the stadium and our passionate fans. So I think it’s a win-win in all areas.”

College football teams around the country have been playing night games for a while now, and Michigan has been involved in plenty of games after dark. The Wolverines are 22-11 in games starting after 5 p.m. all-time. And games like last season’s close two-point loss to Iowa in Iowa City fuel the excitement for night games for Michigan fans.

Michigan took part in the the first-ever night game in 1944 against Marquette in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sixty-seven years later, the Wolverines will don their home jerseys for a night game.

Brandon started working toward organizing the game a couple weeks ago, and met with conference officials and Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick in Indianapolis during the Big Ten basketball tournament last week. When he returned, Brandon said, University President Mary Sue Coleman and her staff were very cooperative.

“For us, obviously, this is an experiment,” Brandon said. “This is the first time we’ve done it. Hopefully we’ll just get better and better at it. If all goes well, we’d love to have at least one game a year scheduled at night at Michigan Stadium. It would be a terrific tradition to start.”

Though Brandon and the Athletic Department are noticeably excited about the nighttime game, reactions were mixed from Michigan season ticket holders.

Mark Schostak, a Michigan football season ticket holder, said he feels the matchup brings a lot of intrigue to the Big House.

“It adds an interesting element,” Schostak said. “It’s something different. It’s not just an ordinary Saturday afternoon football game.”

But for Tara Beickmaun, who has had season tickets for 35 years, the concept of a nighttime game breaks too much from the traditional mold that has made Michigan football what it is today.

“It’s not what Michigan football has usually been about,” Beickmaun said. “But I guess times change, and you’ve got to change with them … I think people like to have fun after the game and it’s kind of late on Saturdays for that. I still like the afternoon; I like being out in the sun. I think it’s kind of nice. When I think of night games, I think of southern universities. It’s never really been part of my experience.”

Students, however, proved to be more in favor of the late Saturday start time.

“I think it would be cool,” LSA junior Dave Bushart said. “I always wondered about what it would be like, and I think it would be sweet to go to.”

“It’ll generate a lot of excitement for the crowd at the Big House,” LSA freshman Hector Acosta added. “You see crowds at Penn State for night games, and it creates a fun atmosphere.

Notre Dame and the Wolverines will continue to build their rivalry with the historic matchup. The two schools met three times in primetime between 1982 and 1990. In all three of those contests both schools were ranked in the top 25. Michigan lost each game by six points or fewer in South Bend.

Officials have previously announced that the Wolverines and the Fighting Irish will continue their series through 2017, then each team will take a two-year break from playing each other, and will return to face off again in 2020.

Michigan played in one of its most exciting games of the 2009 season against Notre Dame in the Big House. It was a game that went back and forth and culminated in a game-winning drive and last-second touchdown to seal a win for the Wolverines. The next time the Fighting Irish come to Ann Arbor, the two schools will be playing at night, under the lights.

“I think it’s a part of what creates a big, exciting atmosphere in college football,” Brandon said.

“I think to play those games, if you listen to the coaches, the players, and just as a fan, I know that being out there under the lights, in primetime, in front of a national audience is something special. And we want to be a part of things that are special at the University of Michigan. So I’m pleased and proud that we are doing this.”
