It what has become the premiere community event in the region for the month of January, organizers of the ninth annual Doors Open Jamestown are anxiously awaiting next weekend’s festivities that help showcase area attractions and local businesses.

Scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the City of Jamestown, the annual one-day “open house” offers something for everyone as local residents and visitors to the region are encouraged to stroll along Jamestown’s central business district and explore all that the community has to offer.

Based on an international event, Doors Open Jamestown has been received with great success the past eight years and has slowly grown in popularity from one year to the next.

Hosted by the Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce and Jamestown Up Close, the many hometown treasures based in the city will offer one free day of admission while at the same time many locally owned and operated businesses will proudly display their wares and services to the general public.

“People really enjoy this event and look forward to Doors Open Jamestown because ultimately you are getting a free look at all of what Jamestown has to offer,” said Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce Coordinator Justin Hanft.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase and show off some of the incredible attractions we have in this community.”

Among the participating attractions are The Lucy Desi Museum & Center For Comedy, The Fenton History Center, The Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary, The Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena and The Robert H. Jackson Center.

In addition, The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame,

Busti Grist Mill, Infi nity Performing Arts, James Prendergast Public Library, The Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History, Regn Lenna Center For The Arts, Lucille Ball Little Theater, Lucille M. Wright Air Museum and The Jamestown Gateway Train Station will also be welcoming guests by offering free tours and other unique presentations.

“This is really a win-win situation so to speak,” said Hanft. “We are promoting and highlighting some rather unique attractions and at the same time allowing for some extra interaction with the many retail stores and restaurants in and around Jamestown.”

Special raffle drawings will

be held at each of the venues, the specialty museums will offer discounts in their gift shops and a number of restaurants and retail stores in Jamestown will feature various discount coupons and other special offers.

It is expected that approximately 2,000 people will navigate downtown Jamestown for an event for which the weather conditions never seem to be much of a factor barring any extreme snowfall because people mark their calendars and come to the area determined to have a good time.

Hanft says the event is a wonderful community collaboration that helps to fully embrace the new calendar year.

Hanft and other event organizers strongly encourage area residents and visitors to the region to take some time next weekend to visit Jamestown during the Doors Open event.

“We are all very busy, but if people have some time and can take a

few minutes out of their weekend and stop into one of the museums or other places that they may have always been curious about but never checked out I think they will be pleasantly surprised,” said Hanft.

“A lot of people are working on this and it really is a great team effort because everyone plays a role and the entire community benefits as we share the Jamestown we know and love with others.”

saving ideas for fellow stay at home mommies, daddies, working mommies, and some that will benefit anyone who is trying to cut back on expenses.

• Cut out any unnecessary expenses.

This sounds like a no brainer, right? Well I’m talking about some ‘radical’ cutbacks. We have gone without a TV package for the majority of our marriage. Don’t worry, we’re still Americans, as we do have a television. We just don’t have satellite or cable. Satellite costs around $30-$90 per month, depending on the package that you purchase. By cutting this out, we have saved at least $360-$1,000 per year.

Just for some perspective, that’s about the same as a year’s worth of diapers (purchased in bulk, we’ll get to that later). We do have Netflix, which we pay $8 a month for. Before anyone asks, no we actually do not miss TV. I certainly don’t miss trashy commercials playing in our house, and I know that we spend more time together as a family without TV. • Homemade.

Whatever you can make at home, go for it! Another no-brainer, right? Well, how about baby food? We make

about 60% of our baby food at home, buying whatever we can’t make fresh (baby prunes and infant cereal fall into this category). A typical jar of baby food costs about 50-60 cents. Six month old babies can eat anywhere from three to eight full jars of baby food per day, which would cost between $1.50 to possibly $5 per day. Keep in mind, these price averages are on the cheaper end, it could cost far more. I purchase fresh or frozen fruits and veggies and then puree them at home. A bag of frozen veggies is about $1, and makes between four and six generous servings.

Cost? 17 cents per serving. I also know exactly what is in the baby food that my son is eating by doing this.

• If possible, breast feed. As most parents know, this is the healthiest route for both mom and baby, with endless benefits to both. Another way that staying at home pays off, as it would be far more difficult to work nursing into a work schedule, not to say that it isn’t possible.

Kudos to any working mommy who can pull this off! Formula can cost as much as $1,800 per year, and breastfeeding from home is free. This is an obvious saving opportunity.

• Buy in Bulk.

There is a bit of a warning with this one, not every ‘bulk’ purchase is actually cheaper. You may have to shop around, and get to know the average prices for the things that you use.

Things that are advertised as a bulk value may actually be more expensive at times, so never assume that by buying more you are getting a better price.

I purchase our diapers in bulk, and constantly monitor my email for coupons and diaper sales. My favorite place to buy diapers is from diapers.com, and they offer free two-day shipping when you meet the minimum order amount of $49. This might not seem like a big deal, but imagine fitting one fidgety toddler, one car seat and a bulk case of diapers in a grocery cart. It’s a big deal.

• Take care of your stuff! The better care you take of your belongings, the longer they will last.

If you plan on having more than one child, make every item last as long as possible.

Do not, however, use items that don’t meet safety requirements.

Many people trying to save money by using old items, such as car seats, that would fail in a car seat inspection. I am all for saving mon-

ey by getting the most use out of something, but don’t put your child’s safety second to saving money.

On the subject of taking care of your stuff in order for it to last longer, use whatever you need to in order to keep things clean. I jumped on the homemade laundry detergent bandwagon a while ago, but found that it simply did not clean our clothes the same. It very well could have been the recipes we used to make the laundry detergent, so use whatever you find works best in your situation.

However, for all of the little boy (and big boy) stains in our house, I have found that ‘splurging’ on the more expensive detergent is well worth the savings of being able to reuse all of Joshua’s clothing on his younger brother.

I sincerely hope that all of these ideas can be of help to you in your homemaking endeavors, and an inspiration to those out there who desire to be SAHMs (stay-at-home moms) in the future.

Stay tuned for more money saving tips, and please write to us at katy.wise@star-mediagroup.com with any frugal ideas you would like to share! Thanks for reading and Happy Homemaking!

Rural health care is in terrible crisis, and the closure of Lake Shore is a real life example of why we need to take action. Lives are at stake with the loss of the emergency room and other vital health services. Patients will

snow tips

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2014

SAfE WALkiNg iN SNOW AND iCE AND iN DAyS fOLLOWiNg A SigNifiCANT SNOWfALL WHEN MELTiNg AND REfREEZiNg OCCuR Contributed Article that could continue for SIMA

Falls account for more than 1M injuries in the U.S. annually. The most common type of walking accident is the slip and fall. For example the type of fall that happens when you fall walking on a sidewalk, parking lot or street not clear of snow or ice.

"The most dangerous part of a snow storm may be the day or days following the snow when sunny skies and higher temperatures during the day melt the snow, and lower temperatures at night refreeze the melted snow, creating a cycle

days, creating a hazardous condition for walking and driving," said Martin B. Tirado, CAE, Executive Director of the Milwaukeebased Snow & Ice Management Association (SIMA).

SIMA, the North American nonprofit organization representing the snow removal industry, has these tips on safe winter walking.

• TIP #1: Wear proper footwear. Proper footwear should place the entire foot on the surface of the ground and have visible treads.

Avoid a smooth sole and opt for a heavy treaded shoe with a flat bottom.

• TIP #2: Be careful when you shift your weight. When stepping off a curb or getting into a car, be careful since shifting your weight may cause an imbalance and result in a fall. The same theory applies if you are carrying something such as grocery bags or a child--the imbalance can cause you to slip and fall.

• TIP #3: Plan ahead. While walking on snow or ice on sidewalks or in parking lots, be aware of your surroundings. Instead of just looking down, pause and look up occasionally to see where your feet will move next

to anticipate ice or an uneven surface. Occasionally scan from left to right to ensure you are not in the way of vehicles or other hazards.

• TIP #4: Conditions nice for ice. Watch for areas where melting and refreezing may persist for weeks. These areas may include parking lot drainage areas, roof gutters, piles of snow where melting and refreezing can continue for weeks. Also posing threats are areas where snow melts from overhangs and then refreezes, where melted water may pool between parking spaces or buildings, or walkways with trees dripping water on

sidewalks.

• TIP #5: Anticipate black ice. Watch for thin sheets of ice that may appear as wet pavement (black ice).

Often ice will appear in the morning, in shady spots or where the sun shines during the day and melted snow refreezes at night.

• TIP #6: Walk even slower on stairs. When walking up or down outdoor steps or stairways, be sure to grip handrails firmly and plant your feet securely on each step.

• TIP #7: Avoid taking shortcuts. Shortcuts are a good idea if you are in a hurry, but may

be a bad idea if there is snow and ice on the ground. A shortcut path may be treacherous because it is likely to be located where snow and ice removal is not possible.

• TIP #8: Enter a building carefully.

When you get to your destination such as school, work, shopping center, etc., be sure to look at the floor as you enter the building. The floor may be wet with melted snow and ice.

Following these tips will help ensure that you survive the snow and ice season safely.

Bush school Fourth graders Create gingerbread City

Contributed Article JHS

Bush Elementary School fourth grade students in Tari Geisler’s class recently learned more about: government at the city level, mathematics, map-making and art, by designing and constructing an entire gingerbread city.

The project helped accelerate students’ math skills by providing a hands-on activity to emphasize math principles learned in class.

It also gave students an opportunity to understand simple democratic principles such as veto, majority and elective procedure.

Students held regular “town” meetings run by co-mayors, Ben Anderson and Madison Arthurs, who were elected by class majority. Two student secretaries, Hannah Grey and Jillian Rea, recorded and documented the results of the meetings and wrote notes to parents for permission to remain after school to help build the gingerbread city.

Fourth graders at Bush School show off their Gingerbeard City. (Submitted Photo)

City accountant Cayden Frasier and architect Annika Spitzer reviewed building plans for accuracy in construction and the amount of materials needed for each building.

Students proposed their individual building plans, including a 3-D model, and the amount of square graham crackers needed for construction. The class voted ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on individual building plans.

The gingerbread city also had a public relations department, Mia Brown and Cayden

Frasier, who helped promote the project and co-chiefs of police, Marissa Fiorella and Dylan Nilson, who were responsible for hiring police officers to help keep the gingerbread city safe from fellow students who might be hungry.

Students used mathematic applications such as area and perimeter. They constructed models using cubes, cylinders and rectangular and triangular prisms. Students also estimated the total number of graham crackers and the cost for building the

whole town prior to purchasing their supplies. Subtraction and addition were applied when windows were cut out and porches added. Students created maps to learn about direction and location and demonstrated their creativity using a variety of edible treats to decorate their city.

“I like this project because it allows individuals to become leaders and for students to work cooperatively together,” said Mrs. Geisler. “It is a reallife community done within a classroom.”

Beichner waste services

CREATiNg LOCAL gROWTH AND LONg-STANDiNg COMMiTMENT Katherine Coleman Contributing Writer

After closing shop for twenty-five years, Beichner Waste Services, Inc. re-opened their doors in March with a fresh, local approach to providing Chautauqua County and surrounding areas with waste disposal and recycling needs.

Originally founded by Theodore “Bud” Beichner in 1963, Beichner provided Western New York with different waste removal services for 20 years. The company was sold in 1989 due to increasing corporate growth that led to a struggle for local companies to thrive.

“Large corporations throughout the county started buying up a lot of the small companies.

It became really difficult to compete. Today the playing field is much more level because of technology. There’s not that strong of an advantage from larger companies now,” said co-owner Cliff Wilkin.

Now under ownership

by John Beichner, Sean Dixon and Wilkin, these three have stepped away from the corporate world to instill that knowledge and experience into what is now a customer-centered and locally owned company.

“In Jamestown and Chautauqua County there’s a lot of sentiment for locally owned

businesses. Larger companies just don’t have the local, smalltown feel, where there are a lot of advantages,” said Wilkin.

Beichner’s mission is to provide excellent waste, recycling and trucking services to commercial businesses and residents in Jamestown and other Chautauqua County locations. Creating custom schedules to best fit customer needs, Beichner Waste Services offers a two to eight yard range of front load dumpsters for business waste stream, household remodeling and cleanup.

Beginning the day’s work around 3 a.m., Wilkin said they are usually done before lunchtime. This conveniences their customers with an efficient and subtle service, while at the same time offering affordable prices.

Wilkin said, “We understand how important it is that customers are taken care of and we don’t get many complaints. They know we’re there.”

Among their biggest customers is the Southern Tier Brewing Co. Plant Manager Brian Evens said, “Our experience with Beichner has been great. Their service is absolutely outstanding, their pickups are always on time and their costs are the best we’ve found. Beichner and Wilkin are simply the best in business and have been great partners for helping us grow our brewery.”

The growth of the community is the heart of Beichner’s mission, and they are accomplishing this in strides.

They take all waste to the Chautauqua County land-fi ll, which helps keep money in local circulation. In November they took over the waste and recycling needs of three school districts: Cassadaga, Falconer and BOCES in Ashville.

Other clients are St. Bonaventure University, North Harmony Transfer Station and the Jamestown Housing Authority.

world war ii veteran appointed to French Legion of Honors ARMy PfC. BASiL J. SPiTALE HONORED fOR SERViCE iN LiBERATiNg fRANCE Contributed Article or military conduct, as Office of Senator Catharine Young

For his outstanding record of military service during World War II and his contributions to the liberation of France in 1944-45, United States Army veteran Basil J. Spitale has received the honor of appointment to France’s National Order of the Legion of Honor.

During a special New Year’s Day ceremony this afternoon at the Jamestown office of Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I - Olean), Senator Young presented Private First Class Spitale with the official medal conferred upon honorees inducted into the Legion of Honor.

The National Order of the Legion of Honor is the highest decoration in France. Appointment to the Order is awarded by the President of France for excellent civil

confirmed after official investigation by the French government.

Not limited to French citizens alone, appointment may also be conferred upon American World War II veterans who fought in the liberation of France from the occupying forces of Nazi Germany.

The process of examining which medals and awards Private Spitale should have received but never did began when Senator Young personally visited the home of Private Spitale and his wife Ann with their son George. Private Spitale shared his World War II experiences with Senator Young and a discussion began on whether or not he had received all of his honors. It was learned that he was accepted for appointment as Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. Although the

Born in Jamestown on March 30, 1924, U.S. Army Pfc. Basil J. Spitale’s military service began when he was drafted into the Army on January 23, 1943.

When Private Spitale joined the division’s 7th Infantry Regiment, the unit was fighting through the Vosges Mountains in France near the German border. By November 26, 1944, they had battled their way to the Rhine River at Strasbourg, France. After maintaining defensive positions, on January 23, 1945, the 7th Infantry helped clear the Colmar Pocket in Alsace, France, of German occupiers. With Private Spitale, the regiment then struck the German defensive “Siegfried Line” south of Zweibrucken, Germany, on March 15.

The Bible contains so many wonderful truths on this topic that it will take a few weeks to cover it adequately but let me begin by assuring you that God has a wonderful plan and desires you to live it out!

Each one of us has a unique and God-designed plan and purpose. Just as no two people are the same… no two God-given plans are the same.

The Bible tells us that God had each of our paths planned out before the creation of the world (Ephesians 3:11) and promises in Jeremiah 29:11 that these plans are always good ones; for you as well as

gET BACk TO CHuRCH

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, I just feel like I had no direction in 2013 and now I face another year. Help me make it matter!

I’m sorry you feel last year wasn’t the best.

Many people tell me that they couldn’t seem to fi nd their focus amidst all the political and social instability. But rest assured. The Bible tells us that we “are in the

for Him! This is comforting and exciting to me as it should be to you, too. It shows that everyone has a part, purpose, and destiny in the kingdom of God. When we grasp this and accept this as true in our life, it can change how we look at ourselves and our place in God’s Kingdom and the world.

Life can become an exciting journey instead of trying to live a life of “ just getting through”!

I’ve heard people say that “we are born already dying”. What a sad and defeatist attitude! According to God, we are so much more important than this! We’ve been created for a purpose and are important to God. Our loving Father God has a wonderful and exciting plan for our life. The Bible states in Ephesians 3:20 that this plan is “exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think.” Knowing that God’s hand is on our life should give us a great sense of being valuable and loved by our Creator. Being armed with this truth will enable us to go into our life and be victorious with whatever we are called to do!

Next week: “So how do I fi nd out what God’s plan is for me?”

you should be asking yourself is “Have I found a church that preaches the uncompromised Word of God?” You’re not a consumer looking for the best deals when shopping for a church.

You are looking for a place of integrity and purpose that won’t shy Rev. Tim Stahlman away from challenging Family Church Jamestown doctrine.

So many people say, “I When you’re offended haven’t found a church at the church over some petty thing you need I like”. Well that’s not the issue. The question to ask yourself, “How’s

this working for me?”

When you can spend hours in restaurants, movie theatres, and shopping malls and never go to church you need to ask yourself, “How’s this working for me?” Jesus isn’t at the shopping mall. He isn’t gathering at the movies. He is gathering with those that gather in His name. His blessings are where He is.

In Matthew 18:20 Jesus says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my Name there am I in the midst of them.” Jesus Christ meets with those who gather around his Name and with His truth. People are out on the golf course or taking their kids to the latest soccer or cheerleading event when they should be in church. But when troubles rear their head and bring a trial of sickness to your family, what will you do? Will you lay the golf club on them and hope it heals them? Will the Sunday soccer tournament be there to teach you how to use your faith to see you out of troubles?

1 Timothy 3:15 says that the House of God is “The Pillar and Ground of the truth.”

You need solutions, not more problems. The answers to your life are found in a solid Bible teaching church.

Going Resolution Free

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2014

By Dodi Kingsfield

The top five New Year’s resolutions made this year were reported to be losing weight, getting organized, spending less money, enjoying life more and getting more healthy and fit.

Star Contributing Writer

Making the resolutions of selfimprovement on New Year’s Eve is a time honored religious based tradition of the western hemisphere.

Not even half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions and less than ten percent of those actually keep their resolutions long term. Admit it, you have probably broken your resolutions already this year. So why do people make those impossible commitments to themselves and their loved ones on that one night a year?

Is it the over-imbibing of alcohol, the enthusiastic spirit of the holidays or a true vow of continuous self-improvement? Do we truly intend to make life altering changes in ourselves or our lifestyles or does it just sound good because everyone else at the party is doing it? Instead of making promises you don’t intend to keep or have difficult following through on, consider going resolution free for a stress free start to 2014.

The top five New Year’s resolutions made this year were reported to be losing weight, getting organized, spending less money, enjoying life more and getting more healthy and fit. Making positive changes to any one of these areas of your life can cause anyone undue stress, whether it’s a resolution or not. Ensuring that these changes become permanent can increase the stress as we often beat ourselves up when we fall or stray away from our resolutions. By going resolution free, we eliminate the added stress of broken resolutions and can focus more on building success in our lives based on

“That’s why we are asking tain the community to bring your Cher- family, friends and neighbors. ds Spread the word. We need you ville there,” Senator Young said.

Lake Shore Hospital, one of Chautauqua County’s largest employers, employed about 460 people when the intent to close 47121 was announced in mid-October by the parent organization Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York (LERHSNY), k which has an affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh and Medical System (UPMC). rs.

Brooks Hospital in Dunkirk over and Tri-County Health in ral Gowanda also are under the LERHSNY umbrella.

In late October, the LERHSNY board voted to file for 33 Chapter 11 bankruptcy and TLC Health Network, the operator of Lake Shore, made it official in mid-December. TLC Geralso has appointed John Galati ngo as Lake Shore interim CEO. irCat Senator Young said the bankruptcy could turn out to be a positive development because it Club could allow TLC to restructure NY the hospital.

“The goal is to save as many critical hospital services as possible. The Chapter 11 filing gave us a little breathing room to find a qualified buyer who will have the best interests of the community at heart,” Senae ell as tor Young said. tion “The state has invested millions of dollars in the Lake Shore facility, including a recent $2.6 million emergency room renovation paid for by a HEAL grant. It is an essential health care provider, and we want it to continue operating,” she said.

“If a qualified buyer steps up, we can save critical health care services and jobs, while protecting our investment on behalf of the taxpayers,” she said.

Senator Young said that state elected officials, especially Assemblymen Goodell and Giglio,

have been in close contact with the state Department of Health (DOH) officials since the closure news broke. She and a DOH representative toured the facility in November so she could show him the emergency room upgrades.

“Our government representatives on all levels have been outstanding in their response,” she said.

“The new management at Lake Shore Hospital is doing everything it can to restructure operations in order to maintain a strong, fiscally viable, health care organization providing critical health care services to the residents on Silver Creek, Irving, Gowanda, Forestville, South Dayton, and the entire northeast quadrant of Chautauqua County. This rally sends an important message to the New York State Health Department, potential investors, and others that Lake Shore Hospital is a critical component of our health care system and has tremendous community support. I urge all concerned residents to attend the rally,” said Assemblyman Andy Goodell.

“Residents of the tri-county region deserve access to quality healthcare. That is why it is so important for our communities to rally together to preserve Lake Shore Hospital, its critical emergency care facility and jobs that are vital to our economy. Let’s send a clear message that we’re serious about preserving our access to quality healthcare,” said Assemblyman Joseph M. Giglio (R,C,I – Gowanda).

“I'm working with everyone involved to try to keep Lake Shore Hospital open. It's a top priority for me,” said Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C – East Aurora).

“The hospital plays a significant role in the overall health of the area and closure would have serious implications for

“If a qualified buyer steps up, we can save critical health care services and jobs, while protecting our investment on behalf of the taxpayers,” said Senator Young.

Chautauqua County and beyond. Working with local and state partners we aim to protect hospital jobs, access to care and ensure that Southern Tier families aren't faced with long travel times in order to receive emergency care. With a strong, unified message from the community, we have a real opportunity to make our voices heard to keep the hospital open and serving the community,” said Congressman Tom Reed.

“With the health and safety of area residents at stake, Lake Shore Hospital is too important to be allowed to close. Access to emergency care and essential health services for thousands of people would suffer if we lost Lake Shore Hospital, which is why there is so much concern and so many people are joining us in speaking out,” said Senator Mark Grisanti (R,I – Buffalo).

“Keeping essential health services available to our Northern Chautauqua County citizens is a top priority. I strongly encourage area residents to make their voices heard by attending the rally at Silver Creek High School to keep Lake Shore Hospital open,” said Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan.

“I would like to see as many people in the community as possible turn out for this important rally. We need to send a strong message to Albany that this hospital must remain open,” said Chautauqua County Legislator George Borrello.

On March 26, 1945, the 7th Infantry crossed the Rhine River and advanced through the German defenses.

The push continued to Nuremberg, where a fierce battle ensued from April 17-20 before Allied forces secured the city in block-by-block fighting.

The push continued as the war drew to a close.

The 7th Infantry captured Augsburg and Munich and Private Spitale was part of a contingent that captured Hitler’s outpost and mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden, near the German-Austrian border. Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, marking the end of the war in Europe.

Private Spitale was supposed to return to the United States because of his accumulation of points, however, he was instead assigned a clerk typist and sent to Austria as an instructor.

He finally returned to the United States in January 1946 and was honorably discharged on January 28, 1946, at Fort Dix, New Jersey, having served three years in the Army. Over two years of that time was spent in Europe.

For his service in the Central Europe and Northern France campaigns, Private Spitale has also earned a Combat Infantryman Badge.

After the war, Private Spitale returned to his hometown of Jamestown, where he and his wife Ann, whom he had married shortly before being drafted, would raise their three sons.

Having been married

on September 7, 1942, Private Spitale’s military service kept the newlywed couple separated for three years shortly after they were wed.

“For the certain difficulties and challenges of this lengthy separation so soon after being married, Ann deserves our admiration and appreciation as well. This past September they celebrated their 71st anniversary,” said Senator Young.

“It was quite an experience. I had just got married in September 1942 when I got drafted and went into the service in January,” said Private Spitale.

Private Spitale and Ann’s sons George, Carl, and Peter all followed in their father’s footsteps and served in the Army during the Vietnam War era.

“For the military service of the entire Spitale family, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude,” said Senator Young.

“We should all be proud of Pfc. Basil Spitale and the service he gave in defense of freedom. In receiving this honor from the nation of France, he has shown himself to be an ideal representative of our country around the world and a true embodiment of the values and principles we hold so dear as Americans,” said Senator Young.

George Spitale, who was present with his father for today’s ceremony, agreed.

“It means a lot to him,” he added as he expressed the significance of the honor given to his father and how important it is that his service be recognized.

Hyperbole Is The Worst Thing Ever

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The Howard Simon Show on WGR was on in my truck on the way to work the other day. Simon and Jeremy White were discussing Florida State’s national championship win over Auburn in college football.

That in itself isn’t interesting, but one of them pointed out that at halftime of that game, one of the color commentators called Auburn’s lead “unbelievable.”

Then after FSU came back to win, he called the comeback “unbelievable.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t both things very believable? I mean, they happened. We saw them happen. How are they “unbelievable” exactly?

It’s an easy habit to fall into. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. I’ll try to be better about it in the future because hyperbole is literally the worst thing to ever happen in the history of the universe.

COMMENTARy, CONTiNuED fROM PAgE 24 Perhaps the announcer simply has a limited vocabulary. Perhaps he doesn’t know what “unbelievable” means.

Someone should have pulled out the Inigo Montoya line from ‘Princess Bride’ when Vizzini keeps saying “inconceivable.”

A quick retort of “I do not think it means what you think it means” would have been legendary.

I digress, but that topic got me thinking. Hyperbole — a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis — is very much overused in the sports world. San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh just called wide receiver Michael Crabtree the “greatest catcher of all time.”

Really? Michael Crabtree? The guy that has dropped 5.9 percent of his passes since 2009, a number better than only five qualified players. Perhaps Harbaugh

simply forgot about Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Andre Reed and the 63 active players with a better catch percentage than Crabtree.

Or perhaps Harbaugh was just falling into the pattern of overusing hyperbole.

As a sports writer I can understand announcers and writers trying to come up with new, exciting ways to describe plays and players. Simply saying a player is great no longer stacks up. You have to say they’re the greatest of all time to get noticed. It’s reached the point where words like “unbelievable” and “greatest” have almost lost all meaning.

There are acceptable times to use hyperbole.

For instance, calling the Indianapolis Colts’ 28-point second-half comeback against the Kansas City Chiefs “historic” is absolutely fitting. It was the second biggest come-

Self-Proclaimed Expert Picks: Divisional Playoff Round

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Alright, I’ll be the first to admit that I picked very poorly last week.

In fairness, I’m not sure there were many people that picked San Diego to beat Cincinnati.

But I think I can do better this week because it’s becoming increasingly obvious what the National Football League wants. Not that I would ever suggest that a multiple-billion dollar industry would interfere with fair competition to help set up the matchups that would bring in the most money.

No. Never. The NFL is totally legit.

Surely you remember how every single Super Bowl and nearly every playoff game in recent memory has come down to the last play. That’s all just coincidence.

Seriously, I’m about to start watching the WWE. Those guys are great athletes in sports entertainment too. Except those matches are harder to predict.

If there isn’t an NFC Championship game of Seattle vs. San Francisco and an AFC Championship game of Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning, err….New England vs. Denver, I’ll eat my hat.

Demaryius Thomas (88) and the Denver Broncos offense have done an awful lot of celebrating this season. That streak should continue against the San Diego Chargers.

(AP Photo/Denis Poroy)

they went ahead and made me look dumb. A stingy defense and a solid running game travels well and New Orleans has showed a little bit of that this year. Obviously Brees and the aerial assault is the first thing that comes to mind, and it should be, but Ingram, Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas have had some nice moments from the backfield. Jimmy Graham has been quiet the last few weeks and you’d think he’d be due for a huge game, especially with the Seahawks’ corners taking away the wide receivers.

The Seahawks have to be getting sick of all of this San Francisco NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (11-5) at talk. Suddenly the 49ers are the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (13-3) team to beat in the NFC?

cornerbacks so a safety might have to be employed to double cover him. That should open things up for Luck’s good buddy — tight end Coby Fleener. Also look for Donald Brown to have another big day.

It seems like he’s scored at least a pair of touchdowns every game for the past month.

The Patriots know this scenario all too well. Brady has really started clicking with wide receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola.

He’ll need to continue that to keep up with the Colts’ offense.

LeGarrette Blount had a game for the ages against the Bills in Week 17, but don’t expect coach Bill Belichick to ride the hot hand.

That’s just not his style. He’ll go with whomever he feels is best for the job. It might be Blount. It might be Stevan Ridley. It might even be Shane Vereen or Brandon Bolden. You just never know. The biggest concern for the Pats should be on defense. Linebacker Brandon Spikes has been placed on seasonending IR and joins fellow stud players like linebacker Jarod Mayo and tackle Vince Wilfork. That’s an awful lot of defensive talent to lose and still expect to compete.

There’s great arguments to be made for either team winning this game. It should be a fun one.

PICK VS. SPREAD: Colts (+8).

STRAIGHT PICK: Patriots.

This is probably the game I’m most excited about of all the games this weekend. Maybe because it’s the only one that isn’t already decided by the NFL. A Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady game seems logical, but tell me you wouldn’t want to see a rematch of Peyton vs. his old team, the Colts. The spread in this one is huge, too. How is New England giving eight points?

Did no one watch the Colts offense roll last week?

The Colts put up some huge points at home last week to come back and beat the Chiefs, but playing at home is a whole lot different than playing in Foxborough. Of course, playing the Patriots’ defense (missing too many players to list here) isn’t as imposing as trying to play catch-up against the Chiefs. I expect nothing but a great performance from Andrew Luck. That guy is just so calm and collected, both in the pocket and on the sidelines. I’ve never seen him yell at a coach or another player.

Even when he threw an interception already down three scores against the Chiefs he just kind of shook it off and led an amazing comeback. T.Y. Hilton might just be too fast for any of the Patriots’ Continued on pg 27

DEC Adopts Sauger Conservation Management Plan Contributed Article "Sauger were once NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Under Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today adopted a conservation management plan for one of New York's most imperiled fish species, the sauger.

Sauger are uniquely adapted to thrive in large turbid rivers and lakes and were once common in New York portions of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, and Lake Champlain.

Only the Lake Champlain sauger population remains and even in this area the recent records of their occurrence are scarce. Sauger are also native to the Allegheny River, however pollution in the late 19th and much of the 20th centuries led to their extirpation. The population in the lower river is recovering; however access to much of the New York portion of the watershed is blocked by a dam.

prominent members of New York's fish fauna, but are now at risk of being extirpated from the state," said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens. "Actions including stocking, habitat assessments, population monitoring, and public outreach will be implemented under this plan, which will start the process of restoring sauger to its native range in New York waters."

The final Sauger Conservation Management Plan is available on the DEC website.

The goal of the plan is to establish and maintain sauger populations in all suitable waters of native watersheds by 2030. The three objectives of the plan include: • Establishing a selfsustaining sauger population in the upper Allegheny River watershed.

• Determining sauger population status and documenting and improving habitat suitability in Lake Champlain.

• Determining the suitability of Lake Erie's eastern basin watershed

Game review, continued from pg 29 I think I have four different games started right now with four different characters and four different groups of people. We simply wrote down our decks so we can rebuild them next time that group is together. I’ve gotten to smash things with the fighter, sneak through

the dungeons with the rogue, shoot magic missles with the wizard and wield the healing powers of the cleric.

And that still leaves plenty of characters that I haven’t had the pleasure of playing yet.

The most fun adventure I have going now

for sauger restoration.

These objectives are designed to be implemented through 2020.

Progress made towards meeting these objectives will serve as guidance in the development of new objectives and management recommendations for the period 2021 - 2030.

Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state.

This initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, stocking as much as 900,000 pounds of fish, expanding fishing clinics and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions. Through these efforts, New York has become a premier destination for bass fishing tournaments at the Great Lakes, Finger Lakes, Lake Champlain and Oneida Lake. is actually just with two players, but four characters as both my friend and I took on the role of two characters.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article some good ice in westNYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

All of the Lake Erie tributaries have moderate to lower, clear flows. Considerable shelf ice, floating slush and snow will make steelhead fishing a challenge. The larger the stream, the more open water there will be. Productive wintertime steelhead baits include egg sacs, egg imitation flies, trout beads and hair jigs tipped with a waxworm (fished under a float). In cold water conditions, it is best to keep drifted offerings slow and deep, as steelhead are more lethargic and hugging the bottom. It is also good to concentrate efforts during the warmest part of the day when chasing winter steelhead.

For those new to steelhead fishing, see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries page for information on steelhead fishing equipment, locations and links to stream maps.

ern New York. However, do not assume an entire waterbody is safe just because anglers are fishing a portion of it. Ice thickness can vary greatly on the same body of water, especially if there are springs, stream inlets or heavy snow cover.

Before you head out on the ice this winter, remember that a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of solid ice (blue or black, not white) is the general rule for safety.

Drilling holes or tapping with a spud bar to check ice thickness is recommended on your way out. Safety ice picks, boot cleats, a throw rope and a floatation devise are recommended safety supplies. Use good judgment and fish with a friend when possible.

Those new to ice fishing can check the Ice Fishing Basics page for more information.

“The team is well rounded there’s no question,” Warmbrodt added of the boys track team. “A couple of football players like Graham and Barlette along with Alicea and Tim Cerrie really rounded the team out.

"This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me, a chance to make a career of this," Elliott said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I couldn't ask for anything more than a chance with JR Motorsports, the backing of Rick Hendrick, and the support of NAPA. I think to have that connection with NAPA is really, really neat. The headquarters is not far from our house, and to me, that goes a lot further than you think.

For both of us to come

from Georgia, my home state, is special."

Elliott has been in the Hendrick Motorsports development program since 2011, when he was a freshman in high school.

His first NASCAR K&N Series win was at Iowa in 2012, and he became the youngest superspeedway winner in ARCA history at Pocono last June. He then won in the Truck Series in only his sixth start when he won at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in September.

"I think the Nationwide Series is only a short step for him," said JR Motorsports owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. "He's that good."

JRM will field two fulltime teams this season with Elliott and Smith in the No. 7 Chevrolet.

The organization will also run the No. 5 with Kevin Harvick on a limited basis and the No. 88 with Earnhardt Jr. Ryan Pemberton will replace Ives as Smith's crew chief.

"This will be the strongest line-up we've put on the track since we started racing full time in 2006," said Kelley Earnhardt Miller, general manager of JR Motorsports.

Elliott will try to become only the fifth multi-generational NASCAR champion.

His father won 44 Cup races, including two Daytona 500s; "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" was also a 16-time winner of NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award.

"No doubt the historical element of this is pretty cool," said Earnhardt Jr. "Bill Elliott is one of the greats.

No. 1 Florida State Beats No. 2 Auburn For National Championship, continued from pg 27 Mason ran for 195 yards and Nick Marshall threw two touchdown passes for the Tigers.

Florida State hadn't been challenged like this all season, winning by an average of 42 points.

The Seminoles were down 21-3 in the first half, and wobbling, but never fell over.

And now Florida State is national champion for the first time since 1999,

the first team to win the BCS title game after being down at halftime.

The Seminoles cut it to 21-10 with a late touchdown in the second quarter, following a faked punt and a tough 21-yard run by Winston, and chipped into Auburn's lead with a 41-yard field goal by Roberto Aguayo with 6:05 left in the third.

Meanwhile, Florida

State had found some answers to Auburn's spread offense. A holding penalty that wiped out a long pass also helped keep the Tigers scoreless in the third quarter, and the Seminoles began the fourth with P.J. Williams intercepting Marshall's pass and setting up Florida State at its 38.

When Winston tossed in the flats to Chad

Abram, who hurdled over a tackler on the way to an 11-yard touchdown, the lead was 21-19. Florida State was considering going for two to tie, but Devonta Freeman was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and that pushed the extra point back 15 yards and forced the Seminoles to kick and make it 21-20.

Winston never faced a situation in which he had to drive his team to a winning score.

Elliott will spend the first half of the Nationwide season juggling his first full-time job and the second semester of his senior year of high school in Georgia.

The school has been flexible in working with Elliott as he's pursued his racing career, but the Nationwide schedule will be his most intensive racing to date and mother, Cindy, spent part of Monday discussing a plan with administrators.

He delivered. ''Only thing is we're victorious and glad to say Florida State is the national champion again, and I guarantee you we're bringing that swag back,'' Winston said. ''You'd better believe it.''

instead turned it down because he felt he didn't have enough experience.

Murray is regarded to have a strong track record in identifying young talent. Hired by Florida in 1994, Murray eventually worked his way up to become the Panthers director of amateur scouting. He also worked in various amateur and pro scouting jobs with the Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers before joining the Senators.

In Ottawa, Murray also served as general manager of the team's American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton, which won the 2011 Calder Cup championship.

was traded to Anaheim last summer.

In Buffalo, Murray's first priority will be determining whether to re-sign several core players who are in the final year of their contracts, including goalie Ryan Miller, captain Steve Ott and recently acquired forward Matt Moulson.

Next comes the draft.

The Sabres are wellstocked with high picks as part of a youth movement that began under Regier last season.

The Sabres could have as many as two first-round and three second-round selections in this year's draft. The Sabres also have a solid group of prospects in their farm system. They include defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, who were both drafted in the first round in June.

Next year's vote could be even more crowded when Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Carlos Delgado and Gary Sheffield become eligible, five years after their retirements.

Please forgive me."

The video shows the trooper explaining to Puig's mother, a cousin and another passenger why he was being arrested.

"The reason why we are in this situation is because he didn't care about his mother's life or your lives, and he's going to jail," he said in Spanish. Puig's mother is heard sobbing.

While in the backseat, Puig tells himself: "Why do you have to drive so fast, Puig? You

have to learn." He repeatedly asked the officer to let him go, at one point saying he would "do anything" and that he would never drive again, "but please don't take me to jail."

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said Wednesday that he spoke with Puig that day.

"He knew he was not in a good spot. He knew that he had let a lot of people down," Colletti said, adding that he asked Puig how he planned to explain his

arrest to Little Leaguers he has worked with in Los Angeles.

Colletti suggested that having his mother in the car may help Puig understand the gravity of the situation.

"That may have been a moment that could be another one of those steps toward figuring it out," he said.

"He's setting this great example and he's doing stuff that I haven't really seen many big league players ever do within the com-

munity," he said. "At the same time, there's boundaries you got to stay in, whether it's how you drive or other things in your life."

In April last year, Puig was clocked going 97 in a 50 mph zone in Tennessee, though those charges were later dismissed.

Puig signed a $42 million, seven-year contract in June 2012, a record for a Cuban defector. He received a $12 million signing bonus and made $2 million last season.

"Some of the numbers, I'm not exactly comfortable with - top 10 in the world, that kind of thing. But I'm also a realist. I know this game at some point could beat me up again. So I've got to keep doing what I'm doing, try to keep things very simple."

Spieth was playing in the final group for the first time, and he held up beautifully. He made birdie on both par 5s on the front nine to take a one-shot lead, and kept his goal of making three birdies on the back nine. He just got started too late and ran out of holes.

And three pars on the three easiest holes on the back nine - 14, 15 and 16 - didn't help.

Spieth didn't trust his read on two short putts at the 14th and 16th, and he came up just short on the par-5 15th.

"Yes!" he said, when the ball took off his

hybrid like a rocket, headed for the front portion of the green.

"You've got to be kidding me," he said when he saw the ball retreat down a slope. He didn't connect properly on a delicate pitch, and the ball came back down the slope. Spieth had to scramble for par.

Three shots behind, he closed with two birdies for a 70 to fi nish one shot behind.

Streelman had a 67 and tied for third with Webb Simpson, who had a 70.

Five players had a share of the lead at one point, which included Dustin Johnson early and Jason Dufner late.

Dustin Johnson, tied for the 54-hole lead with Spieth and Simpson, made three bogeys before he recorded a birdie. He chipped poorly and shot 73. Dufner's rally was undone by a threeputt par on the 15th, and then a shot in to

his 11th season on the PGA Tour, he already would have 12 victories worldwide, a top-10 ranking and golf bags from having played on six national teams.
