Mike Allen Quotations

I was real pleased with the effort especially on defense. I thought that the defense responded well after giving up the touchdown.

Obviously we would prefer it to be in or near the border as this will benefit employment in the border communities.

Possibly the arson was to cover up any evidence in the burglary.

New England in particular seems to have slowed relative to the rest of the nation.

She played great, she single-handedly took the ball in the box and they couldn't stop her. She was a force to be reckoned with on the day. Anytime she can find space to get shots off they're usually on net.

I would sure like to win, but I do like the fact that we put some hits together and we were close. We were a hit away from tying it in the second game, and hopefully we can use that as a little bit of a springboard.

We've got to look at the whole picture. We just don't know at this point.

He was honest, he helped everybody he could, helped us in a tremendous way around the store. I just don't understand it, you know it's senseless that somebody that young and with a lot of potential is gone now over what, we don't know, but it's tragic. It's really tragic.

He's brilliant. The guy is one of the smartest people you'll ever find.

I thank you for this honor. Anyone who could not be successful in our community, there's something wrong with them.

I thought that we missed an opportunity, we out shot Racine Park but we are not disciplined playing defense. We took third place in the tournament, but we could have done better, we came out with a winning record, but it was disappointing as a whole.

Travis had a way about him that anyone who met him felt close to him just because he was fully engaged in life.

The advantage of having our business systems integrated with our clinical systems is that the information travels untouched by human hands. Before Microsoft Dynamics, we manually posted transactions across six companies. Now we post to one company and that information flows through to the others. The information travels through, we get it out on the reporting side, and we know we can depend on that information to be accurate, which is critical.

Most homeowners, if not all homeowners, should have experienced some reduction in their property taxes.

Whether it's five years from now, 50 years, or 500 years when we run out of fuel, what are you going to do? You've got to be more efficient.

We're approaching it as the point of view that it's not a bowl game. It's a national championship game that we've contracted to manage. But we don't know yet what it will look like.

We didn't play very well. We couldn't string together more than two passes, they definitely played better than we did.

You can't blame the immigrant. All he's looking to do is improve life for his family, so he will take these jobs that Americans can't or won't do for slave wages.

When you have a camp of 200 guys who are away from home and they are within walking distance to the bar and the casino, there is a potential for increased activity.

We're very dependant upon the media to help us and it's really an important thing to us to get the information out on how to contact us.

Best I can tell - stimulating discussion with friends, reading and study of language seemed to be things that he was passionate about.

When she left, we didn't want her to leave Waterloo, we tried our best to keep her here.

Detectives did take a statement today and Gilmer did claim his involvement in the incident. His statement tied up some loose ends in the investigation for detectives, however investigation is still ongoing. It is possible additional arrests will be made,

This individual was actually the one who contacted investigators on the scene the morning of the fire and gave a statement that he was riding by on his bicycle by the home and saw the mother screaming from the second story window,

This integrated EMR improves the quality of care we provide with its instantaneous documentation of and accessibility to patient information. Quick access to patient information through all healthcare entry points is a definite benefit to our community.

This is purely assumption on my part, but there were vehicles in the driveway and the lights were on. I believe that he knew that they were there,

The labor supply on the border is more than ample.

It's very easy for them to make a lot of money with very little effort. You can go to Dairy Queen and make fries for $14 an hour.

Because of our ongoing investigation we cannot say how they (investigators) connected Gilmer to the crime, but we can say that they do have information that the burglary occurred and property was taken.

It was a fun game for us because we were able to get a lot of playing time for all the kids. We are pleased with the outcome but now we need to focus on next week.

It was just a very moving experience. I would compare it to our wedding day or maybe the birth of our first child.

They came down, had numbers and we had a defensive breakdown. We got tired towards the end of the game and let too many unmarked people in the box. Near the end of the game was when they took over a little bit and were able to put in the winning goal.

All we were trying to do was wear down the clock and we turn it over and give them a cheap touchdown.

You couldn't ask for a nicer guy. He was a real sharp trooper.

Everyone is so stunned we're doing so well.

They played very well, we started to gel as a team and pass around in the games like we do in practice. I think they're starting to come together as a group.

It is unknown at this time if he is part of the rash of car break-ins, but we haven't linked him to the Roselawn and Pryor incidents. The night that we caught him we have yet to determine who the property he was in possession of belongs to, ... He could not identify the items in the backpack and has admitted for at least four vehicle break-ins.

I am pretty shocked. This is a team (Ridge View) that is not as good as us. Our coaching staff had a good game plan, but it comes down to execution and we didn't execute and helped them out with turnovers.
