Mississippi River Reaches Fift h Highest Level
Bringer named Hannibal Regional Hospital Auxiliary Awards Volunteer of the Year
Rita CoxEditor
Flooding on the Mississippi River and other rivers and streams in the Lewis Coun-ty area caused many roads to be closed and many people and businesses in LaGrange had to move from their locations. Th e La-Grange Post Offi ce is currently located in the Catholic Church on Route C. Doug-las Community Head Start is closed. Th e
Riverhouse Bar was surrounded by water and contents were removed. Th e Town and Country Bank prepared to relocate, but wa-ter did not breach the bank building. Sev-eral residents removed their belongings on the east side of Main Street. Some LaGrange residents on the west side of Main Street sandbagged their homes to prevent water from coming in.
Bunge Corporation had a sandbagging operation behind the Lions Club building and sandbagged around the Bunge facility.
Th e Mississippi River reached a level of 23.19 feet on Saturday morning, making it the fi ft h highest level the river had reached. Th e record was in 1993 with a level of 27.88. In 2008 the river reached 27.73, 1973 saw 24.50 and in 2001 levels were 23.20.
Th e City of Canton installed the fl ood gates on Route B on April 18 and said they will be in place until there is no longer a threat of high water.
Hannibal Regional Hospital’s Auxiliary announced Loretta Bringer as Volunteer of the Year at their Service Awards luncheon on April 15 at the Quality Inn.
Bringer volunteered more than 400 hours in 2012 and has served over 2,770 lifetime hours. Mrs. Bringer was presented this award in honor of her dedicated service to the Auxiliary and patients over the years. Mrs. Bringer serves in several areas includ-ing the Gift Shop, Recruitment Chairperson, and on the Board of Directors. Mrs. Bringer goes above and beyond in her volunteer role serving patients and their families in many ways including signing to a patient and their family. “Loretta is an amazing person who has truly been an example for everyone with her caring and giving spirit. She has touched
so many lives through her volunteer work and our hospital and patients have benefi ted greatly over the years from her generosity and kindness. “ Alicia Rollins, Director-Vol-unteer Services.
Loretta lives in Maywood Missouri with Marvin, her husband of 51 years. Mar-vin and Loretta have one daughter, Rachel Bringer Shepherd, who serves as Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit. Loretta has been involved in community activities for her en-tire life. Loretta continues to play the organ and serve as fi nancial secretary for South Union Baptist Church in Maywood, where she has been a member since childhood. Loretta serves on several diff erent boards and committees throughout the Maywood, Hannibal and Quincy communities. Rachel
says, “Mom strives for excellence in every-thing she does, and she has set a wonder-ful example of strong faith, hard work, and high standards.” Loretta loves the Hannibal Regional Hospital Auxiliary, and she partic-ularly enjoys the fellowship with her fellow Auxiliary members and clerking in the gift shop.
Another very special award presented this year was the President’s Call to Service Award presented to Ms. Jackie Schnelle. Jackie has been a member of the Auxiliary for more than 25 years and has given over 13,500 lifetime hours. Other presentations included Honorary Membership that was awarded to Alice Jurgens, Bob Richards, Eva Boggs, Grace Brothers, Isabelle Jackson, Teresa Tatman and Lorene Harlow. Special Recognition was presented to Merrilyn Ju-rgens, Jana Suchland, Mary Jane Jackson, Marilou Le-Moine, Karen Dix and Matt Matsunaga.
Th e Hannibal Regional Hospital Auxil-iary, more than 250 members strong, works to promote Hannibal Regional Hospital through increased community awareness, health-related education and fundraising initiatives. Auxiliary members are proud to continue the tradition of serving as ambas-sadors between the hospital and its com-munities. Members donate approximately 27,000 hours of service each year. Volun-teer opportunities include working in Judy’s Boutique, Fresh Flowers, Information Desk, Greeting, Emergency Department, Sewing and Puppet making, Hannibal Children’s Center, James E Cary Cancer Center, the Caring Cup and various waiting rooms, among others.

United Way Exceeds Goal in Canton
Heartland Resources Nutrition Program vital to Community
LaGrange Lions Donation
Canton residents watched this winter as the United Way thermometer located in Central Park as it neared the top. Th e Canton campaign exceeded its goal by rais-ing $4,955. Th at translates to complete funding of pro-grams such as Lewis County Nutrition sites, Mark Twain Legal Services , Lewis County NECAC, RSVP, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Head Start, AV-ENUES, Salvation Army and Red Cross.
Th e United Way of the Mark Twain Area funds over thirty-fi ve programs in Lew-is, Shelby, Monroe, Ralls, and Marion Counties. Th e overall goal for this year is $565,000 with fi nal total announced at the Feb. 13 Annual Meeting was $576,000, $11,000 over goal.
Th e United Way of the Mark Twain Area greatly appreciates the generosity of friends and neighbors in Lewis County.
One way Heartland Resources provides the community an answer for those in need of hot meals. Elderly, handi-capped or disabled resi-dents may qualify to have a hot meal delivered to their home. For those who are able can attend one of the many Lewis County Nutrition sites and have lunch. Th is program pro-vides nutritious food to people and at the same time allow them to be independent and live in their own homes.
Th e LaGrange Lions Club presented the Mis-souri Lions Eye Research Foundation (MLERF) a donation of $1,000. Th is gift will help fund six pro-grams dedicated to the preservation and restora-tion of sight.
Th ese programs in-clude, Free Children’s Vi-sion Screenings for Mis-
Phillis Smith of Heart-land Resources encour-ages everyone to visit one of the nutrition sites. Th e good food and social at-mosphere provides resi-dents an option to just sitting home alone. Smith says the system could not survive without the help of many generous volunteers who travel to homes and other nutrition sites deliv-ering the meals.
Volunteers Bennie and Shirley Jarvis enjoy their work and care about the people they serve. Some-times they are the only contact some of the peo-ple have with the outside world. Th e Nutrition Pro-
souri kids ages six months to six years; Free healthy vision screenings for glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration; Free eye care assistance for indigent Missourians; Eyeglass recycling to help less-fortunate people in developing countries; Sup-port of ocular research to fi nd causes and cures
gram allows someone who needs help with mealtime to have food delivered to their door. Th e Jarvis’s love talking to each person and it provides some socializa-tion for those who may be shut-in. Th ey encourage everyone to volunteer for the rewarding experience.
Smith said there are many ways to volunteer, not only delivering meals, but coming to a center to do a variety of things. Everyone loves to hear someone play the piano at the Ewing Nutrition Site, sitting in on a card game, helping with a puzzle or just socializing with all the good people are all ways
of eye disease; Heartland Lions Eye Banks, which provides the gift of sight to seven people each day by providing donated human corneal tissue for trans-plantation.
Th e Foundation’s sight programs are made pos-sible through the support of generous Missourians and Missouri’s Lions clubs,
someone can volunteer. Th ere are many other de-tails and jobs that could use a volunteer.

Where In Lewis County?
Do you recognize this local landmark? Christine Moore has provided the fi rst correct guess
in last week’s Where in Lewis County photo. Moore instantly recognized the barn which sits on the east end of LaBelle next to a large home. Moore owned the property before moving to LaGrange to another historic home. Moore says the property was known as the Th ompson place. Th e house was built by Judge Bushrod F. Th ompson in 1904. His architect was Ernest Wood, a well known architect from Quincy. Judge Th ompson was from a Monticello family who migrated to Missouri from Virginia. He married
Ida Sayers from La Belle and that is why he settled there. Th e huge barn most likely pre-dates the house. Th is property actually sits just outside the city limits (on the west side of 1st Street which is the boundary).

Dr. Lee Hammer Chosen As Commencement Speaker
Dr. Lee Hammer has been chosen as the Com-mencement Speaker for the 157th Commence-ment Ceremony at Cul-ver-Stockton College. Hammer, a vital part of the Culver-Stockton Eng-lish faculty since 1987, has made an impact in the lives of thousands of students, and will be retir-ing at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
Prior to his appoint-ment at Culver-Stockton, Hammer was a professor of English at Quincy Col-lege. He also spent a year as interim faculty at the University of Wisconsin. He received his PhD in English from Marquette University, and his M.A. and B.A. in English from Western Illinois Universi-ty. Hammer’s experiences at diff erent institutions, especially larger public schools, make him aware and appreciative of the personalized experiences teaching at Culver-Stock-ton off ers. “I went to col-lege at large universities. Th at was okay, but the em-phasis at Culver-Stockton is so focused on teaching and that’s what I wanted. I couldn’t have created a better place that I would want to go,” said Hammer. Hammer was the fi rst per-son in his family to go to college.
Hammer earned ten-ure at Culver-Stockton in 1992. His specialization is in Modern British Lit-
erature. “Th e interesting thing about that is when you teach at a small col-lege, you oft en don’t even teach in your area. But that is OK because what I really loved about my time at Culver-Stockton was my opportunity to teach all kinds of courses,” said Hammer. “I have taught courses like American Lit, British Lit, History of the English Language, and Modern Grammar. It is re-ally nice to not be stuck in one fi eld.”
During his time as a Culver-Stockton profes-sor, Hammer saw major changes in the methods of teaching used at C-SC. “When I fi rst came to Cul-ver-Stockton, the teacher-student relationship was pretty much lecture and listen. But we have now come all the way to active learning. And that is excit-ing,” said Hammer. “We recognize that students can’t sit in their chairs and do nothings as we ramble on. In a way, I wish I was 20 years younger with a lot of energy to keep on pursuing it.” Making the switch to active learning in English classes has been an ongoing challenge, and Hammer has met that challenge in a variety of ways. He designed a po-etry course where students used photography to rep-resent parts of poems, and he has led several travel courses. His travel cours-es include a trip to Scot-
land and England, and he is participating in a trip to Estonia and Finland planned for the spring 2013 3-week term.
Th e 12/3 calendar, ad-opted by C-SC in 2008, was revolutionary to Hammer’s teaching ca-reer. “Th e 12/3 provides so much fl exibility. I can take my class on a day trip without worrying, because they won’t miss other classes. Our classes don’t always have to meet at the same time. Th e classes and scheduled are designed so that we as professors re-ally can do something dif-ferent,” said Hammer. “It really got the faculty into the active learning mode. It was the best thing we could do to make Culver-Stockton distinctive.”
Outside of the class-room, Hammer has held several administrative appointments at Culver-Stockton. Hammer helped to develop the TASC cen-ter, which he coordinated for several years. He was also the chair of the com-mittee of faculty for the last three years. Hammer enjoyed his time on the faculty committee. “It was good to be in a role where I could do things for other people,” said Hammer.
During retirement, Hammer plans to improve his golf game. “I just want to get good at golf,” said Hammer. He also plans to complete some personal writing, as well as work
on his photography and catch up on his reading. One thing Hammer will miss in retirement is his students. “I am going to miss my students recom-mending things for me to read, though they usually recommend what not to read.” Hammer is mar-ried to Dr. Ann Hammer, professor of education at Culver-Stockton. Ann is not ready to retire yet.
As for the high point of his career, Hammer believes he is at it right now. “My career has had a good evolving culmi-nation. Th ere have been good things all along, including winning the Helsabeck Excellence in Teaching Award my sec-ond year. But I think in recent years, it has just felt good to interact with our students. Th ey are so nice and respectful,” said Ham-mer. “Just a few weeks ago, an English alumnus sent me an email saying how I had a large impact on his personal motivation to be-come a teacher. And that is nice to hear. You never know as a teacher what kind of eff ect you have on students. But it warms my heart to know that appar-ently this student thought I had done something good for him.”
Spring Community Prayer Retreat
Th e Spring Community Prayer Retreat was hosted by the Green Chapel Church in LaGrange on April 17. Ten commu-nity churches were represented. Aft er the carry-in luncheon, devotions, songs and prayers were shared on the theme “Springtime Prayer Time”. Th e Methodist Church of LaGrange provided the pro-gram.
Th e fi rst community prayer retreat was held on Jan. 17, 1973 at the Methodist
Church. Th e purpose of the Prayer Re-treat is to draw all women together in a spirit of unity for the enrichment of all at-tendees and in turn, the spirit of unity of the whole community.
Th e next Community Prayer Retreat will be Oct. 18, 2013. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church will be the host church and the Green Chapel Church will be the pro-gram church.

Proud to bring you: “Burrell Smith Recollections”
Great Connections Made Here
Rita CoxEditor
Burrell Smith has been the subject of several articles in the Press-News Journal over the last year. He has shared his memories of growing up in Monticello, serv-ing in World War II, his love and adventures of owning antique cars, and his role as one of the fi rst people to con-nect rural Lewis County with electricity. Th e wonderful stories about people and places in Lewis County have provided a glimpse at Monticello as a strong communi-ty, life without electricity, fi ghting a war far from home. During his life he has been a businessman, involved and volunteered in his community, a devoted church goer, family man and best friend of many. His recollections of a time gone by are precious tidbits of history and how Lewis County has progressed over the last century.
Mr. Smith will celebrate his 95th birthday with an open house on April 28 at the Methodist Church in Monticello. Th e event will be from 2 to 4 p.m., hosted by his family. When he turned 90, a large family event was held in his honor. Burrell continues his positive outlook on life and has come up with a few sayings around each birthday. When he turned ninety, he told people it was “Mighty at Ninety”, age 91 was “91-Having Fun” “94 and many more” and to celebrate age 95 he remarks “95 and still alive.” Perhaps his sense of humor has something to do with his longevity.
Burrell was one of eight children in his family. His sister Alma married Roy Keller from Ewing and he was one of the fi rst group of Highway Patrol offi cers. Th ere were 18 men in the fi rst class. Burrell’s sister Gracie, never married and lived in Lewis County all of her life. Sister May married Fred Leeser, their daughter is Betty Jo Lloyd of Canton. Sister Ethel married Melvin Rut-ledge, their son is Larry Rutledge of Monticello. His sis-ter Nan, never married and was president of the Bank of Monticello. She was the fi rst woman bank president in the state of Missouri and worked in banking for over 50 years. Brother Hugh Smith married Alice and had children Gary and Kay (Parker). Edna married Norman Dahl, lived in Wisconsin and they had two daughters. Burrell and his late wife, Ruth, have two children, Ruth Ann (Hudnut) and Bill. He has grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and other relatives.
Burrell recently set down and shared a few more memories. His dad was sheriff of Lewis County from 1928 to 1932, and they lived in a huge brick house which stood where the Lewis County Jail is now. Th e fam-ily then moved to a large structure located west of the Filling Station in Monticello. Th e building was known as the old Seminary. When he was older he moved to the south end of Monticello and had a small farm home
Recollections of Burrell Smith
with chickens, a milk cow, pigs and a garden to supply food. Two of his sisters lived in the Seminary building or “Th e Brick” as the family called it. In 1957 a devastating tornado hit Monticello. Burrell and family had just fi n-ished supper and went up town to check on everything. Th e Brick was destroyed, all but the upper portion of the two story apartment where his sisters lived. He used the REA truck to get them out of the crumbling structure. Th e girls weren’t hurt. Th ere was a four car garage on the west side, the building was lift ed off of two cars, neither car received a scratch.
Life in Monticello was a busy place, with the busi-nesses to support a community. Th e Lindell Hotel was a two story building. Next door was the Welcome Inn Tav-ern, where you could go and have a drink, just beer, draft and bottles. He said men and women could go there, al-most everybody smoked, as the eff ects of smoking were not known then. Th ese businesses stood west of where the Bank of Monticello now stands.
Smith talks about when the town would show movies on the lawn of the courthouse, using the courthouse wall for the movie screen. People would come and sit on the lawn, enjoy fresh buttered popcorn for fi ve cents, visit with their friends and neighbors and see a good mov-ie. Th is was before any televisions at home. Th e town merchants paid for the event, which would ensure a big crowd and was good for business and the community. Smith remembers the fi lm would break frequently, but it just gave everybody a chance to visit with each other. Th e projector operator was Frank Breeding.
Burrell served on the Monticello town board for over 40 years. One time the board met on the steps of the church, because another member, Karl Schork, had a station across the street, and they had to have a quick meeting to set the speed limit on the highway going through town to 35 miles an hour. He served with many community minded people including Winston Little, Linton Jenkins, Norman Merrell, Donald and Gilbert Humphrey, T.R. Legg and Alfred Hinton, to name just a few. Smith drove the town school bus from 1937 to 1943 and served on the school board. He continues to be ac-tive in the Monticello Methodist Church, attending ev-ery Sunday, dressed in a suit and tie.
In 95 years, Mr. Smith has accomplished many things and credits his faith and family for his wonderful life. He looks forward to seeing everyone at the open house birthday celebration.. Friends, family, neighbors and ad-mirers are welcome to attend.

minds motorists it is dangerous to drive into water-covered roads. If you’re driving or walking and encounter fl ood water, turn around. Don’t drown. It only takes six inches of water to knock over an adult and cause loss of control of a vehicle. A foot of water will fl oat many vehicles and only two feet of rushing water will carry them away, including pickups and SUVs. Th e depth of fl ood water is not always obvious. It can be especially hard to judge at night. Th e best option is to play it safe and turn around. MoDOT recommends motorists check the website or call 1-888-275-6636 for the latest information.

LOCAL NEWSNECAC awarded grants for people facing foreclosure
Tornado and fi rst aid apps available
Event to honor veterans planned at Culver-Stockton
Th e not-for-profi t North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) has been awarded additional funding to help people facing foreclosure.
NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profi t social ser-vice, community health and public housing Community Action Agency. NECAC contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profi t organizations to operate and administer self-suffi ciency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. Th e agency’s Central Administration Offi ces are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers oper-ated in each county.
Th e agency has been awarded a $34,920 National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program grant and $10,400 in funding from the Making Home Aff ordable program, both through NeighborWorks America.
NeighborWorks is a national leader in aff ordable housing and community-focused programs and services that are delivered through non-profi t organizations. NE-CAC has been a NeighborWorks partner since 2004.
“We are pleased and excited about being awarded this additional funding,” said NECAC President and Chief Executive Offi cer Don Patrick. “Th is money will go a long way toward helping more families in Northeast Missouri stay in their homes. I’m proud of the eff ort put forward by NECAC Deputy Director for Housing De-velopments Carla Potts to obtain these two grants.”
Potts said that though the foreclosure crisis isn’t as widespread as it was two years ago, it still is a problem.
For the second part of Culver-Stockton’s two-part military documentary showcase, Culver-Stockton is hosting a screening of “Honor Flight,” Saturday, May 3 at 3 p.m. in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium, located in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. Prior to the movie screening, there will be an exhibit of poster boards created by students to honor people who contrib-uted to the WWII eff ort, beginning at 2 p.m. All area veterans are invited to the free screening, as a way for the College to pay them personal tribute.
Students in Dr. D’Ann Campbell’s class have been pre-paring for this event all semester. In early April, the class started interviewing people who had fi rst hand memo-ries of the war. Students interviewed a wide range of people, from veterans to those who were just children at the time. Th e interviews were fi lmed and are being used in two ways: students are creating poster boards as a vis-ual aid for attendants at the documentary screening, and then when the event is over, the students are submitting the fi lmed interviews to the Culver-Stockton archives for the use of future generations.
“Th is generation of students may not have a family member still alive who remembers WWII, and it is a benefi t to students learning from someone in our com-munity with fi rst hand experiences of Pearl Harbor and
“Many people are just a job loss away from losing their homes,” she said. “Th e unemployment rate is still quite high in Northeast Missouri. When that job loss happens, it is oft en accompanied by a foreclosure. NE-CAC can step in and help clients before they lose their homes.”
NECAC works one-on-one with people facing fore-closure. Th e agency negotiates with mortgage servers on behalf of clients. Th e program isn’t for everyone, and NECAC can’t help in every circumstance. However, the agency has a success rate of more than 70 percent in keeping people in their homes.
More than 1.5 million families have been helped by the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling pro-gram, and NeighborWorks expects 193,000 families will receive assistance this year. Th e money pays for coun-seling that helps families through the process.
Th e Making Home Aff ordable program began in 2009 and has helped more than one million families na-tionwide. Th e program helps clients with second liens and “underwater” mortgages. It also deals with those seeking a short sale or deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure.
Th ere are no income guidelines for the programs. People who are interested should call the NECAC Hous-ing Developments Department at 573-324-6622 or fi ll out an application at one of the agency’s 12 county ser-vice centers located in Canton, Troy, Macon, Hannibal, Paris, Montgomery City, Bowling Green, New London, Moberly, St. Charles, Shelbyville or Warrenton.
Two free apps from the Red Cross are available for iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone and tablet users.
Th e Tornado App gives instant access to local and real time information on what to do before, during and aft er tornadoes
Th e app has a number of features including a high-pitched siren and “tornado warning!” alert that signals when a NOAA tornado warning is in eff ect. An “all clear!” alert lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled. People who are out of harm’s way can quickly tap the “I’m safe” button to send a message letting loved ones and friends know they are okay.
People across the country can now receive location-based NOAA tornado, severe thunderstorm and fl ood alerts on their mobile devices and share them on their social networks. Users can share vital information via Facebook, Twitter, text and email. Even if someone doesn’t live in a tornado-prone area, users can have peace of mind knowing they’ll have instant information about loved ones who live in other parts of the country.
Other features of the app include: Simple steps and checklists people can use to create an emergency plan and share it with household members; Enhanced weath-er maps and information provided by Weather Under-ground, a digital brand of Th e Weather Company;
Preloaded preparedness content that gives instant access to critical action steps even without mobile con-nectivity;
Toolkit with a fl ashlight, a strobe light and an audible alarm; and Locations of open Red Cross shelters.
People have not only downloaded the Red Cross Tor-nado Apps, but have used them to track storms, let loved ones know that they are safe, and access other recovery resources.
Th e offi cial American Red Cross First Aid app puts expert advice for everyday emergencies in your hand. It gives you instant access to the information you need to know to handle the most common fi rst aid emergencies. With videos, interactive quizzes and simple step-by-step advice it’s never been easier to know fi rst aid. Other fea-tures of the app include: Simple step-by-step instruc-tions guide you through everyday fi rst aid scenarios.
Fully integrated with 911 so you can call EMS from the app at any time.
Videos and animations make learning fi rst aid fun and easy.
Safety tips for everything, from severe winter weather to earthquakes and tornadoes help prepare for emer-gencies.
Preloaded content means instant access to all safety information at any time, even without reception or an Internet connection.
Interactive quizzes allow you to earn badges.In addition to the Tornado App and First Aid App,
the Red Cross also has an Earthquake App which can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross or by going to redcross.org/mobileapps.
the War. Life has changed more dramatically in the past 70 years than perhaps in any other 70 year period in the history of the United States,” said Dr. D’Ann Campbell, professor of history. “It is important that students learn from other generations, as well as have the knowledge to place these comments in context of what was happening nationwide in WWII.”
Th e “Honor Flight” movie follows four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming to-gether to fl y them to Washington, DC to see the memo-rial constructed for WWII veterans in 2004, nearly 60 years aft er their epic struggle. Th is award winning docu-mentary provides viewers with the opportunity to learn about the sacrifi ces made during World War II and the importance of remembering those sacrifi ces. Th e Hon-or Flight movie has been seen by thousands of people across the country, and even holds the Guinness World Record for largest attendance at a fi lm screening. Th is record was set in 2012, during the movie’s initial show-ing at the Miller Park Stadium in Milwaukee, Wis. Over 28,000 were there to see the heartwarming documentary.
Along with the poster exhibit and the documentary screening, the College is also hosting a luncheon the same day, beginning at 11:30 a.m. for all C-SC alumni who have served in the armed forces.

Because of being a little overwhelmed by all the support we have had behind us over the last 16 months it is hard to just say “Th ank You”. Th ere are feelings of BLESSEDNESS, THANK-FULNESS, and even a little GRATEFULNESS. We are pretty sure this all comes from the Love of...1. God and the prayers that were and still are coming our way.2. Family, not just our children and their fami-lies but also our siblings & my mom who stood behind us and helped with whatever is needed sacrifi cing time that maybe should be spent do-ing something else.3. Friends and Co-workers, because it is this group who has been helping the others to do what they have done for us.4. Th ose that donated or attended the benefi t that was held for us. So once again THANK YOU and may GOD BLESS you all.
