COLUMN

Carillo has been with the district for more than 30 years. This story was compelling because it shows that one person can make a difference.
Gonzalez said that when he first pitched the idea of accident-free days, no one thought it was pos- sible, but they did make changes and now they are setting records, great job guys!
Finally...this week marked the 17th anniver- sary of the attacks on the World Trade Centers. We asked the following ques- tion on our Reedley Expo- nent Facebook page, "Do you remember where you on 9/11?"

Sept. 14, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30
I was working that day. I had a part time job at an eye doctor's office while I was finishing school.
My daughter was only 9 months old at the time. I re- member driving to work and listening to the news on the radio. The DJs sounded so confused, no one really knew what had happened.
Later, as more details be- gan to emerge I remember feeling a real sense of fear. I felt our country was vulner- able.
I remember walking outside on my lunch break, looking up at the sky and it was eerily quiet. Not a plane in sight.
Following the attacks all flights were canceled throughout the country, I never realized how much activity was in the sky until it wasn't there anymore.

In 2011 my husband and I visited the 9/11 memorial in lower Manhattan.
The museum was still un- der construction at the time and hadn't been finished. The memorial however, was already completed and we wanted to make it a point to stop there on our trip.
Let me preface this by saying, New York is a busy city. It's fast, it's loud, 24 hours, non-stop. We'd wake up to sirens, taxis, people right outside our hotel room. But when we visited the me- morial grounds, they were quiet; they were solemn.
There were more than a few hundred people there. No one was talking. Every- one was quiet, some cried, others held their head down, but no one talked. The only sound that could be heard was coming from the water fountains. It was a compel-

ling moment, one I won't forget.
I hope we each take a mo- ment to remember the vic- tims who lost their lives 17 years ago. Those who went to work and never came home. The first responders who rushed into the burning towers to save victims and sadly also became victims themselves.
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001 was a dark day in our his- tory.
More than 2,000 people lost their lives, some whose remains have never been found. Let's never forget these victims, but let's also never forget the strength our country showed in the aftermath of the destruction.
How far we've come since then, and how great our country will continue to be no matter what obstacles are put in our path.
may know a Spanish speak- ing person please pass this information on to them and encourage them to join us for lunch daily at 11 a.m. We are a Spanish speaking friendly center. They can call the center and ask for Christina. Thank you!
