As I told one parent, we appreciate the generosity, but every drop of fuel that we put in a bus is fuel that could have gone in an ambulance or emergency vehicle trying to help the relief effort. Now, as we look at the news in the newspaper and on television of what's going on, to imagine an ambulance trying to help those people might run out of fuel because we're running the chess team over to Colleton County, well, to us it highlights some priorities.
The good news is, the students took their own school's safety and security seriously. There's a general sense of being fed up with these kinds of threats.
We're hunkered down right now. The port is secure.
What was so scary about it was it was still school time, the kids were walking around. There as a group of kids right there when I took off to help her. They shouldn't chase people around the neighborhoods like this especially with the school at the corner. They should have let up a long time ago.
What could we have done? What could we have done? I should've stayed. I loved it here with you guys.
We try not to match them up if they're in the same league. We try to never have a first-round game between teams in the same league. We'd have a great crowd, we'd make a lot more money, but we'd probably switch the lower seeded team.

We turned the ball over too much, which helped (the Bulldogs) with their run, but they played well defensively and we just didn't play well enough to beat a good team like that.
We were shocked and dismayed that one of our teachers would be involved in something like this. Teachers are held to the highest standards, and again, we are shocked.
I can laugh about it, but it's been very hard. One collection company was getting ready to put a lien on my house, but I was able to get that stopped. It's been a real battle.
Obviously we're not a coastal city, but we felt (the fair) could be a nice service to the community. We saw that people on the Gulf Coast were not prepared.
I'm a little concerned. I'm going to keep any eye on it.
We need to be clear about this -- we haven't canceled games indefinitely. We will be deciding on a week-to-week basis.
We've never had any notice from the cemetery association when they are doing anything.
