Sylvania postal worker Jabari Hardiman receives the Postmaster General Award for Heroism Thursday, June 13. Last April, while on his route Hardiman heard a cry for help from Sister Mary Peter Kaminski who had fallen in her apartment, putting weight onto her right arm. After hearing the desperate cry, he stopped to help and stayed until EMS staff arrived. Later, it was determined that Sister Mary Peter had fractured part of her upper arm. This award is given to postal workers who show the desire to help their community members, and have performed an outstanding act for the community.
