Counties Quotes
No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties. However, deviations for some counties in 2005 are large and in the 'second tier' of yield loses. While genetic improvements may have reduced yield losses, large negative yield deviations are still possible.

Apples Quotes
One parent asked me if we ever needed someone to pick up sticks. I said sure and they sent their son to help out around the farm. Then the apples were ready. Soon two more boys were there to help get the ladders out and pick the apples. Then something was ready in the garden and we decided to start canning and eventually decided to enter the Clay County Fair.

Bilingual Quotes
One out of four students that we have in the county schools speak another first language. It's helpful to have bilingual teachers to be able to communicate with parents.

Across Quotes

Begin Quotes
No one can go in, ... No one can come out. There's no cell phones working. There's no land phones working. Half the county is under water, from what I understand. . . . In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. . . . This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help . . . but I don't even know where to start. It's tough to focus on anything right now because I'm very concerned.

Became Quotes
My dad wanted me to be a professional person, which I was - I was a civil engineer. I graduated from civil engineering at USC in California. I became an engineer, and I helped design the roads for the L.A. County Roads Department. And I did that for about one and a half years in a sense to please my parents - to be a 'respectable' person.

Attract Quotes
(My hope is) for it to be a first-class facility that will serve the citizens of Orangeburg and Orangeburg County while also being a facility that will attract teams from all over the Southeast to play on our fields, use our hotels and eat at our restaurants. (It) is going to be a definite economic benefit to the community.

Approach Quotes
Obviously, there are not enough Japanese children in each county in eastern North Carolina for all of us to have individual schools. Using a regional approach enables us to provide that degree of education so that when they're back in their country, they're even with all their classmates.

Aware Quotes
Obviously the commonwealth is not a bank, and it is not in a position to provide loans to county or city governments. However, we are well aware of this issue and are confident that we will find a way to work with the city and county in the same cooperative spirit that we have to solve other fiscal challenges over the past two years.
-
Connect Quotes
Obviously, if everyone has contracted with the same ambulance service, there could be serious problems. We are in favor of requiring the county EOCs to review the nursing home plans not just individually, but how they connect and how much they depend on the same resources and whether that is viable.
-
Buses Quotes
No buses showed up, and no buses were turned away, ... I have been in contact with ADEM twice today (Tuesday), and there are no such buses en route. And if they should show up, and we were not notified, we would deal with it. We have lots of people ready to step up and help. The citizens of the county will step up and help them.

Air Quotes
Retrofits and clean fuels offer clear benefits for regional air quality and provide cleaner environments for children as they travel to and from school. The Adams County District 12 project would not have been as successful without Pauline's leadership and significant personal contribution to EPA's National Clean Diesel Campaign.

Attorney Quotes
Richmond County District Attorney Danny Craig said in the motions hearing,that but for the Gwinnett County case, they would not have had probable cause to indict him. If he's correct, and I have no reason to doubt the D.A. of Richmond County, then I don't think that will substantiate a prior bad act. It would render it inadmissible in the Gwinnett County case.

Aiming Quotes
Plus, weve offered 25 percent of allocations from the naming rights at the stadium, so in our estimation, the city would receive a minimum of three times what they are receiving now, which is doable in a market of this size. Any team in a market the size of Hidalgo County should be aiming for higher attendance than what it is now.

Against Quotes
I was at the courthouse to vote this morning. I parked in the far reaches of the parking lot I noticed a car sitting in the fire lane and blocking the disabled camp to go into the courthouse. As I got closer to the car the license plate on the car said County Judge. We must be vigilant to guard against the hubris of elected officials. This just reminded me why I am running in this race.

Again Quotes
If they think prices are going to take off again like they did in 2004, they're in for a long wait. That ain't gonna happen. The status of our market is not so dependent on what goes on in Las Vegas this year, but it's dependent on what goes on in California. We've already seen markets over there hit the wall in San Diego and Orange County and other places, too.
-
Bid Quotes
I did not use my position on P&Z to better my company. And the only money I can ever remember receiving from Smith County was for jury duty. I think we all know there are very strict regulations on conflicts of interest. I don't intend to become county judge just so I can bid on county work.
-
Anxious Quotes
I'd like to see us solve regional problems by working together, the cities and the county, ... I'm anxious to work with the other six mayors. And I think, too, that it's important for us to do a countywide education summit with all the school superintendents and mayors in the county getting together.
