There were a couple of attempts to close things off, but they didn't get passed. The general argument that it's the people's business prevailed.

There are some areas close to the runway at the airport, along the river and a couple of areas in an industrial park, ... There is basically zilch for places they will be able to live.

The torch has already been passed.

The last couple years we passed more and were more balanced. Before that we ran 65 to 75 percent of the time. We can do that if we need to.

We had a couple of lapses and they made it close at the end, but it's good to have a win again. When we got ahead, we just rushed. We kind of hurried and made some ill-advised passes. The biggest thing for us was to do anything we can to get a win.

I just wanted to see it (the cannon) up close. The last couple of years I didn't see it except from across the field. I never liked red.
