Monday, February 06, 2017Capitol Building, Kingman said he felt a sense of pride in the country.“There were smiles all around, and it was a peaceful transfer of power,” Kingman said.The New Castle High School graduate and funeral director with the J. Bradley McGonigle Funeral Home and Crematory was there with his father, Brian Kingman.The location where they stood — the red zone — to watch the events on a large screen was “much better than where we were originally going to be on the Mall.”The inaugural activities were exciting for both of them, Kingman said.“It was something we looked forward to for awhile,” he pointed out, adding the mood around them was very upbeat.“He (Donald Trump) spoke differently than what we are used to hearing. He spoke of God quite a few times and I thought that was very important.”The president’s message centered on bringing America back together again, Kingman explained.“I felt that he was addressing a unity for everyone regardless of skin color or political statements.”America coming first was another significant part of what the president addressed, Kingman noted, adding that there was mention of creating more jobs and restoring respect with other countries.In the area of the Mall and the Capitol, there were no protests going on and security was tight, Kingman pointed out. He was aware of some protesting occurring outside of those two areas but none seemed to get out of hand, he thought.Of Trump, Kingman said, “He truly wants to bring people together and never let the American people down. I’m enthused about his coming into office and the things he may do.”Tickets to the inauguration were a Christmas gift from Kingman and his girlfriend to his dad. The pair left early yesterday morning and traveled to the Washington, D.C. area by bus, arriving there about 7:30 a.m. They were scheduled to start for home late yesterday afternoon.AMANDA ‘MANDY’ THARPETaking a brief detour to her apartment in Virginia on Friday afternoon, Amanda “Mandy” Tharpe caught her breath between the inauguration, parade and the ball she would attend that nightA Neshannock Class of 2000 member, Tharpe is deputy legislative director and counsel in the office of Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota. Doubting that she could go from her home to Friday’s events due to the crowds and closed streets, Tharpe said she spent the night at the home of a friend who lives on Capitol Hill.“The streets were closed, clogged by a lot of people,” she said. “Anything you want to do this weekend you have to calculate that it will take extra time.”Tharpe said that at 8 a.m. she took her place on the West Lawn of the Capitol and waited for the noon inauguration. “They broke for lunch then the parade started,” she said. “We were right at the beginning of the parade. Trump was still in the car at that point. I heard that he and his wife did get out and walk toward the end of the route.”The rain, she said, did not dampen the enthusiasm of those around her.“It drizzled off and on but people were prepared for the weather. They pulled their ponchos out.”She said protesters never got close enough to disrupt inaugural proceedings.“When we got there, there were maybe 80 people trying to block the gates but people were able to get through. The police kept the protesters separate and as long as you had a ticket, you could get anywhere you wanted to be.”She said protesters were kept five to six blocks away from the parade route. “The police didn’t allow them to get too close.”This was Tharpe’s second inauguration. She said she attended the second George W. Bush inauguration in 2005.She said she was not within earshot to hear Trump and Vice President Mike Pence repeat the oaths of office. “We were close enough to see what they w...
