If I was the opposing coach and they had a rookie long-snapper, I'd try to test him, try to isolate him, try to take his help a little farther away from him and see what he's made of, |
If that happens in the fourth quarter, it's nice but you're not beaming. But I looked out there and all the numbers are the kids I remember from last season, so that was good. |
It's a great way to do therapy without knowing it. When you teach something to these kids that a normal developed person can't do, it has a tremendous boot to their self-esteem. |
Not in my mind. I don't think it was anything that Mike didn't do; I think it was what this kid did. I know Mike won't agree with it, but Greg's better. He's younger, a little more athletic, snaps the ball a tad bit quicker. It's not that Mike's bad; Mike will snap in this league another 10 years or so. I just think this guy's better. |
Probably, we're fortunate that Jeff has a little bit of a background with Greg, |
There are times when we have people on standby or other weather-related things where they have to stay in. There are a few chairs in the engine bay, but that's really all they have for space. |
They figure out several different ways to make that happen magically. Once we decide which method we'd like to go with, it's drawn, built, delivered. |
We are also very audience interactive. We want the audience to experience our performance, not just watch it. |
When you look, there's really no other space for the firefighters themselves. |
With the fire department and all the activities we have to do, with training and answering calls, there wasn't enough left to do the fund-raising. Our membership has picked up a lot in the last year and there are a lot of new members interested in doing fund-raising activities. It's a lot of work, but I think we have a good group of active folks. |
You look around with what's going on now, the school, the Northfield firehouse, budget cutting-we really don't get a lot from the town. [We] really had to go and do it on our own. |
