“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
BROTHERS Lonsdale Lenny and Sterry Lenny Junior have returned home, having successfully completed a seven-week intensive training at the World’s International Mines Action Standards (IMAS) Institute in Kosovo, Eastern Europe. Lonsdale and Sterry Jnr have become our first civilian nationals to complete the training outside Solomon Islands. Lonsdale and Sterry Jnr arrived back earlier this week, having graduated with Certificates in the art and techniques of identifying suspicious objects and how to safely deal with unexploded bombs or ordnances. Their proud father, Sterry Lenny, told Solomon Star yesterday he was proud of his sons’ achievements. Mr Lenny was a former policeman who seized the opportunity to establish the Solomon Islands Explosives Ordnance Technology (SIEOTEC) – the first local company to venture into a rather high-risk job. “I taught local Solomon Islanders to do the clearing work before any building or infrastructure facility is undertaken. This is to ensure safety. Munda International Airport in Western Province is one of the many projects he had undertaken,” Mr Lenny said. At the time he said preparing his boys to be involved in disposing of unexploded bombs had become a passion.
