nati nui loa

He nui nā nati (a me nā ʻōwili) a Terry Albrecht, akā i ka pule aʻe e hoʻokū ʻo ia i ka nati nui loa o ka honua ma waho o kāna ʻoihana.
E hoʻokomo ʻo Packer Fastener i kahi nati hex 3.5-tona, 10 kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe i hana ʻia e Robinson Metals Inc. ma mua o kona keʻena nui hou ma ke kihi ʻākau hikina o South Ashland Avenue a me Lombardi Avenue. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Albrecht e hāʻawi ia iā Green Bay i ka nati hex nui loa ma ka honua.
"Ua hōʻoia ʻo (Guinness World Records) ʻaʻohe māhele no ka nati nui loa o ka honua i kēia manawa," wahi a Albrecht. "Akā ua mākaukau lākou e wehe i hoʻokahi no mākou. ʻO ia nō ka mea nui loa ma ka honua, akā ʻaʻohe o mākou sila Guinness kūhelu."
Ua hoihoi ʻo Albrecht i nā nati, nā bolts, nā mea paʻa wili, nā heleuma, nā wili, nā mea holoi a me nā mea komo mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hui ma South Broadway 17 mau makahiki i hala. Mai ia manawa, ua ulu kāna poʻe limahana mai 10 a 40 me nā keʻena ma Green Bay, Appleton, Milwaukee a me Wausau.
Ua hiki mai kahi manaʻo iā Albrecht i kona ʻike ʻana i kahi kope nui o ka Lombardi Trophy i hana ʻia e Robinson Metal a De Pere.
"No nā makahiki, ʻo kā mākou ʻōlelo hoʻolaha 'loaʻa iā mākou nā nati nui loa ma ke kūlanakauhale,'" wahi a Albrecht. "I ko mākou neʻe ʻana i kēia wahi, ua manaʻo mākou he mea maikaʻi ke kau i kā mākou kālā ma kahi o ko mākou waha. Ua hoʻokaʻaʻike aku au i kahi hoa ma Robinson me kēia manaʻo a ua ʻike lākou pehea."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Neil VanLanen, ka luna hana o Robinson, ua hana ka ʻoihana me Packer Fastener no kekahi manawa, no laila ʻaʻole i hoʻopūʻiwa ka manaʻo o Albrecht iā lākou.
"Hoʻohui maikaʻi loa ia," wahi a VanLanen. "ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e hana ai. A ʻo Terry, he kanaka hoʻokipa a charismatic ʻo ia i kūpono loa e hana pū me ia ma ke ʻano he mea kūʻai aku a he mea hoʻolako ma nā manawa āpau."
Ua hala ma kahi o ʻelima pule i nā limahana o ka ʻoihana e hana i ka nati hex he 10 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi mai 3.5 tone o ke kila, wahi a VanLanen. He hakahaka ia a kau ʻia ma luna o kahi kahua kila maʻamau. Ma ka huli ʻana, e kau ʻia ma luna o kahi papa sima i hiki i ka poʻe e kū ana ma waenakonu ke ʻike i ke kahua ʻo Rambo.
"Ua hele mākou i mua a i hope e pili ana i ka manaʻo no ʻelua mahina. A laila ua lawe mākou," wahi a Van Lanen. "I ko lākou neʻe ʻana i loko o ko lākou keʻena nui hou, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke noi no kahi wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e waiho ai i kahi mea hoihoi."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Albrecht ua lana kona manaʻo e apo a hauʻoli nā kamaʻāina o Great Green Bay i ka hāʻawi a ka ʻoihana i ka ʻāina.
“ʻO ko mākou manaʻolana e hoʻolilo ia i mea hōʻailona liʻiliʻi ponoʻī ma ke kūlanakauhale,” wahi āna. “Ua manaʻo mākou he manawa kūpono maikaʻi loa ia no ke kiʻi ʻana.”
