Our girls have been riding with their parents. We'd like to ask for either a portion of the gate receipts or that the board pay for transportation.

Having twenty-one cheerleaders on the squad is costly. We are not funded by the school. All of our money comes from the parents and fundraiser. Cutting the number would benefit us financially, especially of we offer a scholarship.

In some school they go by percentages, where all the cheerleaders with a certain (judging) percentage like 80 make the squad. In other cases, the schools go by a drop in the scores. If fifteen girls scored over 70 percent and then there was a big drop to 50 percent, the cut off point would be at 70 percent.

I examined the gate and saw droplets of blood on the lower portion ... that was about 7:15 that morning (June 13).

I grew up here, my parents still live here, and I've been able to raise my girls here. We've been in the same house since 1992 and that's unique in our business. I've got one [daughter] in college, another graduating this year, and one in the ninth grade. If I'm fortunate enough to get them all through high school, I think that would be one of the better achievements of my tenure here.

We always ask patrons what's going on. We have a small percentage of chronically overdue books.
