The youngest of five brothers, Mr. Swartz was drafted out of the Pennsylvania coal fields, and he decided at an early age to leave the Rust Belt behind.

Turnout could be heavy enough that some voters may have to wait in line for 30 to 60 minutes during peak times at some of the larger polling places, Mr. Conway said. Peak times generally are from 6 to 8:30 a.m. and from 4 to 7 p.m.

Rosecrans needs taxiway repairs
Friday, Oct. 17, 2008
Timing is important for major repairs at Rosecrans Memorial Airport because of coordination between the city and the Missouri Air National Guard. Unfortunately, Mother Nature threw a monkey wrench at the two entities last winter.
Rosecrans has a taxi path located east of the main runway that stretches about 8,300 feet from north to south and is used by all civilian and military aircraft.
Back in 1994, a 7-inch layer of concrete was installed on the airport taxi path over 14 inches of old concrete, said Doug Cerra, the base construction project engineer.
That should have lasted 20 years, said Col. Norm Borsi, mission support group commander.

Iconic motel sign will shine again
Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008
Workers began assembling a neon sign Tuesday that’s familiar to many in St. Joseph, even if the location seems a bit strange. Clarence Miller, an 80-year-old glass blower and neon sign creator for Roderick Sign Co., said the Pony Express Motel sign is one of his oldest, if not the oldest, surviving sign still in use. He created the sign in 1955 for the motel that was located northeast of the intersection of the Belt Highway and Frederick Boulevard. Each night drivers on the Belt could see the familiar Pony Express rider galloping on the sign. The motel was torn down in 2007 to make way for a new bank development project that brought Panera Bread and other shops to St. Joseph.
