County government can be simplified greatly by reorganizing and consolidating some of the offices, making others appointive, and reducing salaries in keeping with the salaries paid by private business for the performance of similar duties.

If you've ever noticed, beauty pageants are a lot like county fairs. The farmers show the cows the same way. They walk their prized Jersey cow across a stage in front of an audience with judges, and maybe the cow even twirls around a couple of times. Then the winning cow gets a satin ribbon draped over it, which has the title and the year on it.

The murder of Robert Krentz - whose family had been ranching in Arizona since 1907 - by illegal alien drug dealers was the final straw for many Arizonans.

A Pike, in the California dialect, is a native of Missouri, Arkansas, Northern Texas, or Southern Illinois.

I find I'm not one of these composers that are, you know, walking along a beach or walking on the mountainside in County Donegal that's, you know, 'Oh, a melody.' It's more a matter of eventually taking that moment with me to the studio, and it begins to evolve.

I run three to four times a week. I go down to Orange County in California and I run all the time... all the time. You see the oceans, the trees. I like running in hot weather. I like to sweat and get all those toxins out of my system. I thoroughly enjoy it.

For a spinner growing up in England, it is challenging to become an off-spinner. The line and length needs to be altered on each of the four days of county cricket or five days of Test matches. The pitches in England don't have a set pattern. It changes with each day, and accordingly, the length varies.

I have worked closely with many of our county commissioners, mayors, local transportation officials, and others to determine project needs in the 18th District, and they deserve a great deal of thanks for today's victory on the House floor.

A harrassed and dubious childhood under the hand of a well-meaning but barbarous mother's help from County Armagh led me to think of the North of Ireland as prison and the South as a land of escape.

Nu shu means women's writing. And it was a secret writing system that was invented by women, used by women and kept a secret by women in one very remote county in China for a thousand years. It's the only language that was invented and used by women to have been found anywhere in the world.

At 11, I passed the scholarship - only just; I wasn't very good at maths - to Ilford County High for Girls. When the Second World War started we were evacuated, first of all to Ipswich, and then to Aberdare, Queen of the Valleys, in south Wales.

If I had the energy, I would have done it all over the county.

We need to go everywhere. There is not one county in this state, I don't care how far west you go, that doesn't have Democrats. We have to be proud of who we are.

I was still working for the county when we decided to try getting this auction going. Since we were renting the building from the county, I figured it would be best not to also be working for them, so I retired again.

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.

One thing everyone looks at when you get down to that part of the county is how much business you will get from Mexico. That is a very important part of the equation.

My sense is that the public has lost a sense of faith in Salt Lake County government. There is a credibility problem. I believe this is a step backwards.

One of the most important things to remember is land-use decisions in Licking County are made at the township level, through township zoning.

One of the key goals at the beginning of the season was to get the county championships back. Today was the deadline for the state playoffs with the power points. So now we go into that arena. That's our next challenge -- that's the next thing we have to look forward to.

One of the largest mental health care providers in the nation is Los Angeles County jail system.

I was surprised that Pima County was unaware of this because they are represented on the board,

If we get the grant, the $40,000 would be distributed on a per-capita basis to the cities and the county. The county would be looking at $12,000 for the 8,900 rural residents.

Nobody could want this job more than I do, I don't think. I also don't think anybody could have more of a commitment to this county than I do.

(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.

One of the things most people don't understand is that even at this level... it is only a small portion of what pays for all of the services that come out of the county ? more than $67 million.

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. In some cases, the students may speak English but the parents may or may not speak English. And it's critical to communicate with the parents.

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.

No county commissioners have been contacted about this. ... It was not discussed by either of the governing bodies involved, and it does not represent their position.

No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties.

Neither the city nor the county believe it's big enough to serve both.

Nelson and I are talking or being together three and four times a day. Almost every decision has been made in conjunction with the county and Nelson.

Nelson County played well and stepped up and made plays to win. We had opportunities to force overtime or win it, but it didn't go our way. You have to give all the credit to Nelson County.

One way or another we'll figure out a way to get some lights over there. It's a safety issue. But it being a county road is presenting some problems for me.

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.

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.

And I did that for about one and a half years in a sense to please my parents - to be a 'respectable' person.

My district office continues to stay in touch with county and city officials so that they know full well my urgency in dealing with the situation. My experience with Devil's Slide goes way back now.

My cross county coach in high school made a big impact on me as a athlete. I have been dreaming of having a cross county team to work with and have that impact on them as athletes and young adults.

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.

Police spoke to people inside and outside of the bar regarding the incident, and they refused to give any information, ... And also when county detectives spoke to them, they refused to give any information.

Perry County will be physical. They will probably run the veer, and any Rick Rice team will be competitive.

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.

Now, with those concerns still not put to rest, the county is running out of time.

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.

Obviously the chair itself is not worth $1,000, but what it represents being part of Rusk County history makes it worthy. I feel good about it.

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.

Obviously, the county has become increasingly diverse at the same time it has become increasingly affluent. We have become attractive to everyone, regardless of their race or ethnicity.

Obviously, the county is going to have to extend projects over more years.

Now we're getting timely hitting and that's what I feel good about now. The defense isn't where it needs to be to do well in the County tournament, but each game these kids have to grow, and right now we're doing that.

No other place except Angelina County can do a rodeo like this and get it done with this much success. Let's make sure this year's is bigger and better than all others.
