Pine Quotations

When I go to Indian reservations in the West, and especially to the Pine Ridge Reservation, I sometimes feel unsure where to put my foot when I open the car door. The very ground is different from where I usually stand. There are fewer curbs, fewer sidewalks, and almost no street signs, mailboxes, or leashed dogs.

Nothing in baseball can bring me down to the level where I was growing up in Pine Bluff, crying and broke. This is fun for me. Whenever you see me slumping, nah, I don't get upset; I'm all right.

I've never owned an actual trail-running shoe myself, but maybe I should. My favorite paths are fraught with peril, much of it skulking at shoelace level. A rock, a root, an errant pine cone. Wham, and you're down, choking in dust and picking pebbles from wounds in your forearms and knees.

Ah! How often when I have been abroad on the mountains has my heart risen in grateful praise to God that it was not my destiny to waste and pine among those noisome congregations of the city.

'Out of the box' corporate thinking helped carry real American innovation out in a box. A pine box.

In 1908, there was a persuasive demonstration of the power of high-speed, low-mass asteroids in rural Siberia. The Tunguska impactor iced millions of pine trees and about a zillion mosquitoes - and was no larger than an office building.

I think that I do feel that my nature is to express what this self, this particular self at this time, experiences in the world. And that is so organic - I use this metaphor a lot but I'll use it again - it's like a pine tree producing pine cones, or a blackberry bush producing blackberries - it's just what happens with this being, now.

We are pretty excited about the Black Pine study. We have seen a steady decrease in deer numbers in the area. While mule deer numbers to the west and east have increased over the past few years, the Black Pine mule deer herd has remained stable or declined.

There are some good teams. Pine View is ranked in the top five, Mountain View played well in its win over Payson, so it will be tough. Normally, we would have played three games by now.

We have so many other areas with road and drainage needs, I have a problem with that. I've been working day and night to get Somerset Lane and Pine Avenue paved. You get to the north end of Pine Avenue and it looks like a Third World country.

We have a real concern about the mountain pine beetle spreading across the Rockies, into Alberta and into the Northern Shield,

One of the maddening ironies of writing books is that it leaves so little time for reading others'. My bedside is piled with books, but it's duty reading: books for book research, books for review. The ones I pine for are off on a shelf downstairs.

I was really proud of the way the girls battled back tonight. Pine Bluff beat Camden in their first game and they were tough to beat but we kept our heads up and got the job done. This was a big, big win for us.

The courage that those guys have is always captivating to me.

The purpose of all of this is trying to maintain a level playing field when you're dealing with an agricultural crop because the evidence is gone at harvest.

It cost $6,000 to $10,000 a lot to acquire park space in 2002, 2003. Now it costs $90,000 a lot. The parks master plan put the (total) costs at $70 million. That's not even close today. People want their kids to play soccer. There isn't even a playground, not one, north of Pine Island Road. That is an expanding part of the city.

I think white pine in some form or another belongs in that forest. It is not a weed.

I think we seem to concentrate on preparing kids for college. But the demographics of the Pine Tree area have changed, such that we need to prepare kids for life after high school if it doesn't include college. That's vocational training. I think that's very important, something we need to pay more attention to.

I think being isolated like that let me really get in touch with my inner voice. I was able to ask myself without any distractions, 'What do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to go? What do you want to be?' And with nothing but blue skies and pine nuts, I was able to see the light.

It is only when the cold season comes that we know the pine and cypress to be evergreens

Larry will go out of there in a pine box.

Pending the completion of permitting, we remain on track to bring Pine Cove to production by the fourth quarter of this year.

Our biggest goal is to win the Jack Pine Conference title. I think the kids and the coaches are both focused on that.

Pine View kept coming at us. It's the kind of team you hate to play - the team that won't quit.

Pine Tree outplayed us and was the better team tonight. They were better prepared, and you have to give credit to their coach and kids. The bottom line was that they did a better job than we did.

Pine Ridge is simply the poorest census tract in the nation, ... The main business on the reservation is a gas station. All of the housing is HUD housing, Indian housing, which is in many cases deplorable.

Pine Plains outplayed us. They forced a lot of turnovers and we couldn't handle the pressure.

Without Gil Reed pushing this facility and the Pine Tree Zone incentives, we would be someplace else. This is a great facility. They have loading docks, they can do our shipping, they have a welding facility, there is plenty of electricity and Gil really sold us on the great work force.

There is no journalism class, and there is no journalism club at Pine Crest.

This week, the pine trees are very tall and when it's windy, we can see it when we hit the ball. Conditions are good. But it's more softer and better than last week. Last week was very hard greens.

Much of the emphasis on the forest management in the Needles area of the park is focused on overall forest health. The timber sale is aimed at reducing forest density, which is very high in this area of the park. Currently, mountain pine beetle is active in the area and reduced forest stand density will help prevent epidemic levels of mountain pine beetle. Lower stand densities will also protect against catastrophic damage from wildfire.

It's exciting for the kids to continue the tradition. Getting both teams back to state is exciting. We weren't as mentally sharp as we could have been Monday knowing going in that it was going to be us against us (third-place Pine Tree finished 53 shots behind the Gold squad). Today, the kids really came out and played awesome golf.

It's good to be recognized. At the same time Caney Creek wasn't worried about Pine Tree being ranked in the top 10 all year (Lady Panthers beat Pine Tree in bi-district). It gets your name out there across the state. People recognize you're going things right. Other than that, it's not that big of a deal. We still have to play the games.

The next surprise was when I got ready to harvest some needles some ten years later. You can't harvest anything on that (cost-share program) land. Nothing. Not even pine needles. So, I got out of the program.

It's not going to end the mountain pine beetle epidemic by any means.

I've known them for years. It's like a homecoming for me going back to the SWAC. It gives me a little insight because I had gone against Coach Thomas when he was at Pine Bluff and Valley. When I was at Jackson State, he was at Alcorn. Coach McKenzie, going up against him the last couple of years, I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from them and the players they're playing with.

It will likely result in not only maintaining the jobs we have, but potentially growing the jobs and economic opportunity we have at the Pine Bluff Arsenal,

They came by and red marked about 18 of my pine trees (for removal), and only one of them I can see is the least bit dangerous, and over half are not even in the right of way. But boy, they just want to take everything. I'm not very happy about that. I told them so when they called to get my permission. They put me down as refusing. I don't know what happens from there.

The nature of some of these forests, with the amount of undergrowth leaves and pine needles, they can burn underground for weeks and weeks. They are thought extinguished but re-ignite when the wind kicks up.

I love white pines, and they can be in my yard. But I like their plan for the reason that this state forest is so unique globally. In effect every area of white pine in the state forest is not being devoted to what is ours to contribute to the biodiversity of the rest of the world.
