Honors, Both Dubious And Well-Deserved
by Brian Maloney, January 30th, 2009 at 08:00pm
Nothing gets SaveWRKO readers worked up more than seeing some of our favorite execs winning awards for their hard “work” taking a wrecking ball to local radio. In today’s news, we’ve got a couple of especially bizarre examples, plus some bona fide, well-deserved honors.
With the most encouraging developments first, here they are:
— First, a big round of applause for Maine’s conservative talk radio powerhouse WGAN 560 AM after its huge ratings victory in the Portland market. In newly-released Fall 2008 Arbitron Survey figures, WGAN gained three full points to finish in first place with a huge 9.3 overall share of the audience.
WGAN’s conservative lineup includes Rush Limbaugh, Howie Carr, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and others.
Elsewhere, featuring an almost identical lineup, Cape Cod’s WXTK-FM also retained first place in the Cape book with a 10.4 share, while Worcester’s WTAG took fourth there with 5.5.
Given the near-certain surge in listeners thanks to the Obamists, one can only imagine how much higher this can go! Though we don’t yet have those figures, if the rapidly-increasing number of visitors to The Radio Equalizer since Inauguration Day is any indication, these are truly salad days for the medium.
— Meanwhile, in the dubious category is our longtime friend The Empress (above image), who’s been honored by some of her downtown pals:
ENTERCOM NEW ENGLAND’S JULIE KAHN RECEIVES 2009 PINNACLE AWARD
Kahn one of eight women honored by Boston Chamber of Commerce today for achievements in business and managementBoston, Mass. (January 29, 2008) – The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce today honored the winners of its 2009 Pinnacle Awards.
This year’s honorees were recognized for their accomplishments in the following categories:
Achievement in Management, Private Sector: Julie Kahn, Vice President/New England Market Manager, Entercom New England.
As the driving force behind WEEI, America’s most listened-to sports radio station, Julie has paved the way for women in sports radio. She has built a broadcast empire that spans New England – syndicating Boston sports across nine radio stations in four states – and is expanding on the web. Julie and her team also have an extraordinary impact on the community – raising over $20 million for charities such as the Jimmy Fund.
Of course, there’s no mention of hiring felons, accused child rapists and presiding over the near-complete destruction of what was once a hugely-successful radio cluster. Further, the manager most responsible for WEEI’s success now works for the competition!
As one local radio insider notes, “so, let me get this straight: while WRKO sinks into the ocean faster then a torpedoed battleship, the captain gets an award? What a joke!”
— It doesn’t stop there, however: rival Greater Media’s CEO has also picked up his own “honor”, according to All Access, a broadcast trade publication:
Peter Smyth To Receive ‘Golden Mike’ Award
The BROADCASTERS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA’s Golden Mike benefit is being held FEBRUARY 23rd at the WALDORF ASTORIA, reports BROADCASTINGCALE.COM, and a golden throat is taking the mic as a headliner for the event, singer MELBA MOORE.
Writer and MSNBC political analyst MIKE BARNICLE will emcee the event.
This year’s Golden Mike award goes to PETER SMYTH, Chairman of GREATER MEDIA, and to the BORDES family. The foundation calls GREATER MEDIA “one of the last remaining great family-owned broadcasting companies.”
Past winners include ANNE SWEENEY of DISNEY-ABC and former NBCU Chairman BOB WRIGHT.
The foundation raises money to help broadcasters who have fallen on hard times, a cause the current economy and news of almost daily layoffs across all industries brings into even sharper focus.
Aside from the inclusion of disgusting plagiarist Mike Barnicle in the ceremony, I don’t have any real objection to Smyth winning an award. The timing, however, is certainly amusing: it comes the same day as news of significant layoffs at Greater Media’s Boston cluster, which hit the firm’s music stations especially hard.
In addition, WTKK’s lineup is still a muddled mess and Greater’s takeover of WBT/ Charlotte has not been smooth. But why quibble over minor points?

OK explain to me how her highness has done anything for women in sports radio?
Not that I ever listen to WEEI, but I can’t recall anyone of the female gender being associated with the place. Am I wrong?
If they wanted females over there Karen Gueregian from the Herald would be my first choice, and radio runs in her family. Her brother John hosts “Blues Deluxe” on WUML Lowell

I’ve always laughed at these ’self-congratulatory’ awards. It’s like the Wizard of Oz coming to present a whole bunch of ‘Yes, You Are Great’ awards to whoever shows up. Laughable. TV does it worse, with ‘Emmy’s’ for every stupid little thing so that each station can go back and crow about some meaningless little accolade (Reporter of the YEAR!!; Best NEWSCAST!; Best Hair-do!!!). You wonder where ‘Don’t You Know Who I Am?’ got its start? From awards shows like these.
3. Circlet Soft | January 31st, 2009 at 7:07 am
Getting fake awards beats getting no fake awards, though, right?
4. James Huberty | January 31st, 2009 at 10:29 am
Janet Prensky was a co-host afternoons with Ordway when WEEI went all sports in Sept 1991,but he didn’t last a year.
The Sports Moose, er I mean “Sports Babe”,Nancy Donnellan had a syndicated mid-day show on WEEI in 95/96, eventually phased out by D&C.
5. James Huberty | January 31st, 2009 at 10:50 am
“The award for swiniest group of Peter Principle dolts”.
The winner is…Entercom.! Congrats on your impeccable ability how to water down product,display gross incompetence,hire sub-par talent and be the leading example of the general decline of terrestrial radio. A job well done.
Hit the gym,Julie…MOO!
6. The Mole | January 31st, 2009 at 11:17 am
” the manager most responsible for WEEI’s success now works for the competition!”
-Says you, and with no empirical backing behind your argument. Kahn’s arrival in Boston exposed Baker and made him superfluous, that’s why she flourished and he spent time on the beach. I won’t waste time making the argument that his ineffectual reign at Greater Media proves my point because they are already so far behind Entercom that it is an unfair comparison.
The Pinnacle Award is deserving recognition for one of the most hard-working people in the market. This is not one of those industry honors that you rail against, this is an award from the Boston business community. Are they all in the tank as well? Maybe you can start SaveBostonBusiness and give them some pointers too, Mr. Blogosphere Expert. Take off your PJ’s and join the game, why dontcha?
Gotta get back to furthering the left wing agenda and boot polishing. Let’s see, how can I whitewash the screwing of the taxpayers today?
7. BostonVernon | January 31st, 2009 at 11:45 am
Mole hit the nail on the head. She should be awarded just for still being employed after spending huge money on no talents, alienating the best local talents and turning a talk station into a parking lot for sports broadcasts.
As long as the Obama and his cohorts in the main stream media keep going after Rush the conservative radio will flourish.
8. James Huberty | January 31st, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Emcee-Mike Barnicle.
That’s enough to make a buzzard puke. It’s worthless hacks like him that make me sing…with all due respect Ian Hunter..
Boston Sucks,Boston Sucks,Boston Sucks..
BOS-TON SUCKS!
9. ChrisNH | January 31st, 2009 at 6:35 pm
My sense is that these award shows do more harm than good, because they simply give birth to the ’swelled-head’ syndrome we see throughout all media. Once you see media folks patting each other on the back, the participants start believing that EVERYONE should ‘pat them on the back.’ So, no, my belief is that no awards would be better than these awards.
10. Jim | January 31st, 2009 at 8:01 pm
“As the driving force behind WEEI, America’s most listened-to sports radio station, Julie has paved the way for women in sports radio”.
Umm, where are the women on that station??.
Umm, have they ever heard how the WEEI Talent refer to women?
Umm, have they listened to AM Drive or PM Drive???
Julie has done more to preserve and promote every negative stereotype imaginable for women–and probably set them back 40 years.
She makes Gerry Callahan look like the President of NOW. A guy in her shoes would have been fired long ago for his tolerance of female-directed bigotry. Amazing!!!!
11. Circlet Soft | January 31st, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Callahan. Just reading that names reminds me of the neanderthal that he is. Ugh.
12. Circlet Soft | February 1st, 2009 at 9:16 am
Where did that new gal Mel Robbins on WTTK come from?
She looks like Margery wished she could look:
http://wtkk.com/Portals/0/graphics/bio/MelRobbins150.jpg
I imagine Margery will try to scratch her eyes out in a jealous rage…
13. Anti Brian | February 1st, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Gee Brian Peter Smyth must be so happy that industry powerhouse like yourself has no problem receiving an award.
BTW, Mr. Hopkins was not an accused child rapist when he was hired by Entercom. But, as always you never let the facts get in the way of your dribble.
14. piratetoby | February 1st, 2009 at 1:15 pm
It’s too bad that M.E. is so uncomfortable in her own skin. Along with the wrinkles and sagging skin, age also brings wisdom, experience and confidence. Oh, and by the time we’re fifty+ years old, we should be able to determine what looks good on us.
That being said, if you have no breasts to keep the bodice of your dress in place, try a padded bra, double sided tape, or better yet, ditch the black gown and get a better fitting, colorful gown. Tight fitting gowns look much better on a bod with a bit of boob and butt.
No one likes getting older, however continuing to fight it is very sad. Even sadder is listening to it on the air.
15. ChrisNH | February 1st, 2009 at 1:41 pm
ˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆÎ SO hope Maggie reads thisˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆ
16. James Huberty | February 1st, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Anti-Brian,
Good point.So we have something else to pin on Entercom..they turned Reese in to an alleged child rapist. That’s how deep their institutional degeneracy is..it makes one turn into an “alleged” DIDDLER!
17. magpie | February 1st, 2009 at 5:42 pm
What is up with all these attacks on Margery’s looks? I hope I look as good as her when I’m 60.
18. Helen from Prides Crossing | February 1st, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Pirateboy, sadder again is YOU!
I prefer Hell Boy!
19. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 7:22 am
I bet Margery has an intern at the Herald who combs the various blogs and news story “reactions” for anything concerning her. So don’t you worry, ChrisNH — “rabbit-ears” Eagan hears (and reads) all!
Piratetoby, nice one. Next time Jim and Margery have a time I expect her to wear her “head cheerleader” outfit from her Brockton High School daze.
20. ChrisNH | February 2nd, 2009 at 7:37 am
If Maggie wants to live by the sword and use her bully pulpit to trash other women–almost invariably because they are much prettier than her–I don’t mind helping her die by that same sword. And the thing of it is, I’m not being unfair or unrealistic in my characterization of how Maggie looks.
21. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 9:30 am
ChrisNH, I need to be in Portsmouth next weekend to fete an old friend. What part of NH are you in?
22. Filling the void | rockmy&hellip | February 2nd, 2009 at 11:51 am
[...] The libs are even running radio ads featuring the “I hope he fails” line (yeah, that’s gonna work). [...]
23. wow! | February 2nd, 2009 at 1:02 pm
That’s Julie???
I’d lick her boots, all the way up and up and beyond!!!! Can you just imagine the fun with Maggie AND Julie????
Replace Danica and the stern Ms. Schmidt from the Dean’s office with Maggie and Julie!!!!!!! That would be a web site.
24. raccoonradio | February 2nd, 2009 at 1:33 pm
http://www.Radio-info.com reports that the progtalk station in Washington DC, once known as “Obama 1260″, flips to business talk next week.
>>WWRC PD Greg Tantum tells the Washington Post the reason is the “ratings collapsed to a level that could not be measured after the election.”
25. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
This blog is getting kinda milquetoast now that the mau-mauing of the flak catchers has ended.
26. James Huberty | February 2nd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
The Mau Mauing of the flak catchers NEVER ENDS. The election of Obama proves it.
27. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Touche.
28. piratetoby | February 2nd, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I’m new here and will tread gingerly. Milquetoast? Not an accurate description, but one I’m willing to live with….. at least for a little while. I’ll pass on the “head cheerleader” outfit, except to say she (M.E.) has great legs, but may need to stuff her bra with tissue. Her cheer could be ” S-U-C-C-E-S-S. That’s the way we spell success”.
And, like ChrisNH, I don’t make a habit of calling out anyone on their appearance, however M.E. brings it on herself, with her obsession of physical appearances. Sorry if I offended you Magpie and Helen.
Now, the Mau-Mauing of the Flak Catchers. Had to look that one up to understand the Obama reference. Had NEVER heard that title, and I’m familiar with most of T. Wolfe’s books. Mau-mauing is a great word.
29. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Stick with me, piratetoby, and you’ll be infused with all kinds of great (albeit useless) knowledge.
Continuing the Wolfe thread, was there ever a better read than Bonfire of the Vanities (or ever a worse movie - imagine a stinker with Hanks, Willis, and Melanie Griffith!).
30. Circlet Soft | February 2nd, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Testing.
31. Larry | February 2nd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Is that Paul Guzzi in the pic with the Empress? Birds of a feather are pictured together. After his ambitions for public service were cut short by the voters, he built a career as a professional board member for many organizations. He even is on the board of Partners Healthcare ( Mass General) and Blue Cross. I remember the Globe wrote a story recently about some hancky panky behind the scenes that cost Blue Cross members lots of dough. He also gets to appear on NECN. He is only 65, so he is a youngster at NECN.

Wow!
If you’re a liberal Democrat, you have a mental disorder. Your arguments and comments on this site prove it. Your guy got elected, and the brutal light of day is beginning to reveal all the weaknesses that liberalism represents…yet you still crow like you’re
a champion. But you’ve been losers all along. I’ll give you credit for a great media marketing campaign to get Obama into the minds of the mindless (Democrats). But now what? Where’s your SMART plan to fix things?
And then there’s the photo of the smiling Empress Kahn, who represents so faithfully the true meaning of “empty suit”. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
37. Circlet Soft | February 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 am
Huh? My man Barry has been in power for 2 weeks or so, and already he (allegedly) is falling apart? Get a grip, bobby, get a grip.
38. Mr. Pragmatic | February 3rd, 2009 at 9:36 am
Expecting a plan to solve an economic crisis years in the making to be delivered and obvious within two weeks is a sign of a mental disorder.
We’re doing things differently in order to achieve a different result. That’s a start.
There’s no guarantee that we’re going to come out of this (or what the economy will look like) no matter which party is in power. I’m more confident that we will see the fundamental shifts necessary under a democrat majority than we would have under the Republicans, but this is no layup. I for one (and 68% of the country if polls are to be believed) believe we have the right guy at the helm, so if that’s crowing, caw caw.
39. Circlet Soft | February 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 am
We at least have an intellectual at the helm, not a good ol’ boy who can neither speak well nor pronounce nuclear. But Bush was just the figurehead, anyhow, Cheney was the real President.
It’s O-bama time!
40. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 11:17 am
Bob,
If you’re the opposite of the side you call “losers” , and your post is representative of your side, it’s clear which “side” is lacking in intellect.
And personally I’d be lacking in intellect if I continue to allow myself to think strictly along party lines.
“Your guy got elected, and the brutal light of day is beginning to reveal all the weaknesses that liberalism represents…yet you still crow like you’re a champion.” What does this mean?
What I find so discouraging are people who are so willing to bite off their nose to spite their own face. People who really want to see Obama fail.
Don’t you get it? Obama fails, we all fail. Will you be happy then? Wagging your “told you so” finger at we all reside in a crumbled mess that was our great country?
Anyone who fails to understand that is a true loser.
41. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 11:39 am
“Great country”…I love how the libs are now flag waving sunshine patriots now. Please. This “nation” has been nothing but trans-national corprotocracy since at least 1898. The goon squad for the internationalists.
42. Circlet Soft | February 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Nice ref, James Huberty! Love that quote!
“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it Now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorius the triumph.”
Thomas Paine, The Crisis — December 1776
43. bob | February 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Recent posts prove my point.
44. ladyjane | February 3rd, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Just a bone to pick with Circlet - it isn’t just George Bush who pronounces ‘nuclear’ differently. If you’ve spent any time in the south or southwest you’d hear it all over, even by (dare I say it?) liberals! Time to stop picking on George. Last I checked he’s not in the White House anymore.
45. ladyjane | February 3rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm
If the ‘change’ Obummer was referring to is having lobbyists and tax evaders take over running things, then I’d say he’s keeping his promises! I DO hope his policies fail and he starts to listen to people who know what they are talking about in time to turn the country around.
46. Circlet Soft | February 3rd, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Good afternoon, ladyjane.
Yes, I recognize that nucular is colloquial. But, still, we Northeast liberals prefer nuclear.
47. the real Barbara | February 3rd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
And daschle withdraws, can’t wait to see who the messiah has next in line, someone start popping the popcorn, this is going to be good!
48. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 2:27 pm
I can’t argue the Corprotocracy claim, but will add to your assessment of what comprises our “nation” People. We are more than a nation of corporations. We are a nation of people.
Why the description of liberals as now being “flag waving sunshine patriots”? Here’s the “Catch 22″ for liberals. If we’re not “flag waving”, we’re deemed unpatriotic and when we are “flag waving” we’re sunshine patriots or (OMG!) Communists. It’s unfair, and I’m so sick of it.
I’ll bite my tongue and reserve my Bush comments, but will close by saying I’m gleeful that we are bailing out of the idiocracy of the past eight years.
49. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 2:46 pm
We are a nation of people,that is true. But we are essentially indentured servants to the corporate/government complex. They are one in the same. The “people’s” interests are not reprsented in Washington.
Let me steal from Frank Zappa’s “The Meek Shall Inherent Nothing”
‘Cause What they do in Washington
They just takes care of number one
And Number one ain’t you..
You ain’t even NUMBER TWO…
That song is 30 years old and the words have never been more accurate.
Flag-wavers of all stripes,left or right, are blind sheep. How can anybody paying attention really believe in “America”. Has anything “nationalistic” been done in any of our lifetimes by our government. They DON’T GIVE A DAMN about the American people. Republicans/Democrats..”as heads is tails”..just call them LUCIFER.
50. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
“Idiocracy of the last eight years”…
YES. The last eight years have been dreadful,but the the new Golded Age began roughly 25 years and INCREASED in the 90’s. The Clinton years saw CEO compensation increase exponentionally. And the “knowledge industry” types who made off like bandits,whether in Seattle or Wall Street were OVERWHELMINGLY Democrat supporters. This decline into the abyss didn’t begin on 1/20/01
51. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Hey, Hub:
I never claimed anything more than the past eight years we were governed by an idiot.
Clinton made mistakes. They all make mistakes. However, regardless of their mistakes, whether I supported or opposed them, I never questioned their intelligence. None of them were idiots.
I have no further comments on this subject. I don’t want to get sucked into bashing Bush. He’s gone.
52. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
I never question the intelligence of our leaders. No dummies are in those positions of power,even the legacy types like Bush…
HOWEVER, I will always question the “intelligence” of the American voter,i.e. the simps who continue to elect these charlatans. Stop voting for mediocrity,folks! The Evil of two lessers more than the lesser of two evils.
53. Cap'n Spackle | February 3rd, 2009 at 4:42 pm
At last, our esteemed Vice President’s Patriotism litmus test is being applied to B. Hussein O.’s chosen ones, claiming two victims today alone.
How did TurboTax Timmy ever make the cut?
As for the pronunciation of “nuclear”, none other than History’s Greatest Monster™ Jimmy Carter used to say “nookyer”, and he oughta know, having trained briefly in the early 50s as part of the Navy’s fledgling nookyer submarine program prior to leaving the service to pursue his career in goober agronomics.
54. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Sorry, Hub, I must disagree with the “no dummies” statement. Bush was the ultimate dummy (as in puppet). And the saddest part, he was unaware of the evil puppeteers pulling his strings. If he hadn’t done so much damage, I’d almost feel sorry for him.
But not quite.
And Cap, why the use of “B. Hussein O”? Reminds me listening to Michael Graham saying “The Boston Globe Democrat” to the point of distraction. Are you trying to be provocative or endlessly trying to make a statement? Does it bring you personal satisfaction? Make you happy?
Just wonderin’.
55. Cap'n Spackle | February 3rd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I thought we should celebrate our President’s middle name. No? How about “Chimpy”? The “progressives” seemed to get a lot of enjoyment using that term of endearment for the President for most of the past decade. Should we keep running with that? I didn’t think so. On the topic of puppeteers, it should be most entertaining as we find out whether the Blago shitstorm can be connected with Ø’s handlers like Axelrod and Rhambo.
56. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Bush was smart enough to know HOW TO GET ELECTED. Remember how he “was not nation-builder”, didn’t make an issue of his being born-again. He painted himself as his father’s son..a quasi-pragmatist regarding the Israel-Palestine issue.
Of course once he was in office, he let the neo-cons dictate foreign policy,therefore wiping out 2 of the 3 aforementioned “moderate” stances and one could argue that his born again status ties into his attitude on the Middle East. Those imbeciles are begging for that battle of Gog and Magog.
So,did Bush pursue idiotic policies..ABSOLUTELY! But he’s no idiot. He knew enough to know who would get him elected.
And Obama’s Middle East policy will be more of the same-POSSIBLY WORSE!. Rahm Emanuel,Dennis Ross,George Mitchell,Dan Kurzer,Martin Indyk…et al all of them are AIPAC stalwarts who are Israel-firsters.
57. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Hub: “Bush was smart enough to know HOW TO GET ELECTED”.
Again, I must disagree. You’re giving Bush the credit for being the smart one in his election. The people responsible for his election were the smart ones. THEY CHOSE HIM.
I wonder when, if ever, that concept dawned on him. I believe in his heart of hearts it did at some point. Maybe about half way thru his second term. Maybe not. Maybe his denial will keep him “safe” or maybe it will push him towards alcohol again.
58. James Huberty | February 3rd, 2009 at 10:35 pm
This planet would have been better off if “Dubya” kept drinking and stayed as a failed entrepreneur. If anybody has ever read Richard Ben Cramer’s terrific book on the ‘88 election “What it Takes”, it’s really ncredible to think that the boob named George W Bush ever became a governor,never mind POTUSA
P.S.- That book is very illuminating about Biden as well…tough to believe that he’s VP!
59. piratetoby | February 3rd, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Hub, “This planet would have been better off if “Dubya” kept drinking and stayed as a failed entrepreneur.”
Well now, there we go. Finally we have found common ground. And I’ll have to add that title to my lengthy list of books that I never seem to have enough time to read.
60. James Huberty | February 4th, 2009 at 12:24 am
The Cramer book’s first chapter begins in October 1986 at the NLCS between the Mets-Astros in Hoston and “Dubya” is freaking out because Andy Card got his seat…he really comes across as hapless and when the book was published(June ‘93) in he was still “on the sidelines” politically..but within 17 months of the book’s publication he’d beat Ann Richards…and well… the rest is tragic history.
The book is a 1000+ pages,but if you’re interested in contemporary politics it’s well worth a look.
61. Massgopguy | February 4th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Reese Hopkins has a hearing today after, which regardless of the outcome he will fire his court appointed attorney. The DA office which is prosecuting him has a history of misconduct for suppresing evidence and Linda Fairstein (Central Park Jogger Case), it’s former boss is being deposed this week by the Feds. Reese will be on WBNW with Chuck Morse and Glenn Sacks soon.
62. James Huberty | February 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Glenn Sacks, the male version of Betty Friedan or Patricia Ireland. Zealot…reactionary. Undoubtedly will support Resse the creep.
