We thought this was an excellent way to come together as a county to show our support for those who suffered. As an educator, one of the first things I thought of was all those kids who aren't going to be able to go back to school because of the destruction.

The girls did real well. It was a good team effort, much better than at North Harrison.

We were there to be a support system. We were there to talk about different things and the kids wanted someone to hear them. That's why the principal (Tyrone Mills) wanted us there -- for anyone who needed us to listen.

These grants support the tremendous work being done by our state's regional associations on behalf of California wine,

I am not for public executions, though I support the death penalty. One, it's an appropriate punishment in horrific cases, and two, it's a deterrent. There are studies that say that for every person executed, eight innocent people who might otherwise have been murdered were not.

We knew before the year we had a good team. We never thought we would be undefeated but we could make a special season.
