Description A local company is looking for a GENERAL EQUIPMENT MAINTAINER - 3RD SHIFT who will perform repairs, preventive and corrective maintenance on production machinery, plant blow mold equipment and facility. Must have a working knowledge of the electrical requirements and circuits associated with repair and maintenance function.

It all seemed so important and incredibly regal A historic moment in time, one that captured the attention of a nation

I convinced my mother to travel with me into Washington, D C We arrived just as evening was beginning to descend upon the beautiful city. We stood in line for several hours, seemingly wading through the empty bottles of water littering the path ahead The wait would extend past twelve or thirteen hours, and my mother had to work the next day We left in the wee hours of the morning, returning home with a heavy heart after missing my chance to say good-bye to our 40th President

“The rotunda of the U S Capitol has been considered the most suitable place for the nation to pay final tribute to its most eminent citizens by having their remains lay in state,” according to the Architect of the Capitol website Government officials or military officers lay in state, while private citizens, such as Billy Graham, lay in honor The ceremony enhanced by the fact that most coffins rest upon the catafalque made in 1865 for the coffin of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln

Rep Henry Clay was the first to receive this honor upon his death in 1852 Since then, thirty-four people have lain in state before being laid to rest Senator John Sidney McCain, III, was the 31st man to receive such an honor on Friday, August 31st Desiring to pay my last respects to a great American hero, I stood in line outside the Capitol building Surrounded by thousands of others in the blazing heat, we shared stories amongst ourselves of the late Senator as we commiserated over the inevitable humidity experienced in Washington during August “I got his signature in a book,” one p g wreaths displayed nearby, the Capitol police officer standing guard The majesty of the moment was overwhelming One could have heard a pin drop in the room, as we attempted to reflect upon the life of such a hero Suddenly, a group of police officers approached A changing of the guard was being carried out before our very eyes The tapping of the shoes, the dress blues The final, choreographed salute Leaving hardly a dry eye in the room

Hours later, my brother would ask a simple question “What makes us go see someone lie in state?” He was baffled by the practice, wondering why Americans choose to indulge in this respected tradition Perhaps it has something to do with participating in a communal national activity A symbolic practice communicating our love of country A practical way to participate in the life of our great democracy By honoring those who came before us, paving the way for the life we live in the present A way of saying thank you for their service to the nation we all love

I walked away with a sense of sorrow mixed with pride Sad to have lost an American icon, mourning over the collective national loss. Yet grateful for a man who in many ways “appealed to our better angels,” if I may use a line often invoked by the historian Jon Meacham As we said goodbye to a man who in many ways embodied the American spirit, we were given time to examine our collective national soul “The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts,” Aristotle once wrote A nation, coming together in a state of grief, quietly reminded of the need to heal the divisions and fissures currently tearing at our national fabric If accomplished, a seemingly suitable way to honor the legacy of a man whose public life, in the words of Meacham, “was largely about hope ”

Howe's That

evaluate it I also believe you should be willing to change an opinion if new evidence is offered that you believe is valid

I read a lot of opinion type articles I receive several weeklies and a couple of daily newspapers I always read (or at least skim) the editorial page and the letters to the editor I also read news stories and magazine articles on many subjects I am usually

Continued from page 1 searching for ideas for this column as I read, so I jot down notes if something catches my interest

When I offer my opinions on this page, I don’t expect everyone in town to agree with me In fact, I expect some people to get upset or stirred up either in favor of the editorial or against it Editorials call for action of some type If we just sit back and “let George do it,” there can be little progress.
