Five Things Families with College Bound Students Should Consider StatePoint
Planning for life’s major financial hurdles is critical and when it comes to college, a plan can have a dramatic influence on how families are able to finance a degree.
How to Plan for Your Child’s College Education StatePoint
Transitioning to college life can be difficult on both students and families. From new expenses to a new lifestyle, being prepared for what lies ahead can help you avoid common bumps in the road.
That said, only 38 percent of American families today have developed a plan to pay for college, according to the 2014 “How America Pays for College” report by Sallie Mae and Ipsos. What’s more, only 40 percent of American families with college aspirations have a contingency plan in case of an unexpected event, which one-third of families typically encounter.
Here are five things families with college-bound students should consider:

banks and private lenders with competitive rates that don’t require payments while you’re still in school.
• Manage debt: Paying student loans on time is important. Avoid late fees and mounting interest by sticking to your repayment schedule. Even though some loan payments are deferred until college is over, the earlier you can proactively plan for this the better. Generally, if you aim to keep your loan payment to no more than 10-15 percent of your anticipated post-college income, you should be able to maintain a realistic repayment timeline, according to Wells Fargo, which provides discounts such as automatic payment enrollment and relationship discounts for students or cosigners who already have a student loan or qualifying consumer checking account with Wells Fargo. • Establish a budget. Whether your child is working and making their own spending money, or living on an allowance you provide, help them take better control of that money so they don’t create unplanned debt
More resources for smart money management for college students and their families are available at blogs.WellsFargo.com/StudentLoanDown/. A higher education and a financial education can go hand in hand. Help your child make smart financial decisions amidst the newfound freedom of college life.

This week we are featuring “Amillia” and “Copper”. Amillia is a sweet 2 year old white and black short hair kitty. She came to us with an injured eye, but it hasn’t changed her personality. Because of her vision issue, she will have to be an indoor cat. Copper is a 2 year old lab/pit mix. He is fun and energetic and loves to be around people. He is great with kids and other dogs, but should be in a home without cats. If either of these pets sounds like the perfect fit for your home, please come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet them or any of their friends as CCHS.

When life gives you snow
k By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Although I am choosing to share this recipe with you, I think we are all secretly hoping that no one gets a chance to use it because the snow rmelts too fast. However, if you have as much snow as we do at our house, it’s going to be awhile before that happens. This has been an incredibly long and cold winter, and the only thing to do now is to find ways to tolerate it. It will be over soon enough, and winter is more over with than not. Like the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Life gave us snow, so we made snow ice cream! Our boys have been itching to get outside and play in the snow for a long time now, especially our 4-year-old. But since it’s been too cold, and mommy is just too pregnant to fit into her snow pants and normal winter coat, we haven’t even tried. With the 30 degree heat wave we’ve been having, I finally got brave enough to take Joshua outside for a little bit the other day. Not to sled, because there’s too much snow for us to walk through to get to our hill! And once again, the whole snow-pants-not-fitting ordeal.
So if you want to get creative, go ahead and try substituting the whipping cream I have in my recipe for We just went outside long enough to milk or a can of sweetened conget snow for our ice cream, and the densed milk.

And of course, you want white snow, not yellow or brown or black. Add all your ingredients into the snow and mix using a stand mixer for about 2 minutes on medium speed. Take a taste test, and add in anything you think your snow needs. Top with ice cream toppings! We used sprinkles and sliced bananas. As always, thanks for reading and a very happy end-of-winter from HBK!

Cherry Creek Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County."
The Cherry Creek Inn on 1022 West Rd., Cherry Creek (Photo from www. cherrycreekinn.net)
in the area that was to become the Town of Cherry Creek. After their first year in the wilderness, destitute of supplies, Joseph felled a pine tree, hollowing it out into a 60-foot canoe. Loaded with 1,500 pounds of maple sugar and black salts, Joseph and his son George set off for
Pittsburg, launching in Conewango Creek. Having run the river and purchasing supplies, they returned by pushing the vessel with pike poles all the way home in a period of three weeks. More settlers soon joined this hardy pioneer spirit and the Town of Cherry Creek was set off from the Town of Ellington on May 4, 1829. Early Development
The first town meeting was held in n1830 at the Hotel of George Frost with James Carr elected its first supervisor. The first merchant was Seth Grover, who started in trade in 1831. He had, in connection with his store, an ashery and a pearling oven. Later Cyrus Thatcher and George H. Frost were in trade. William CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Kilburn built the first sawmill in 1824 on Cherry Creek, near the village; he eventually attached a shop for making spinning wheels, chairs, and other item. Robert James and William Green built the second sawmill in 1833. Hull Nickerson built the first gristmill in 1828, near the site of Price's sawmill. It had one run of stones and was used only for corn. It was known for years as the old "pepper" mill. In 1848 Joseph Kent built a gristmill with all modern appliances with three runs of stones. This mill was burned in 1869 and rebuilt in 1870 by Silas Vinton. Immediately under the grocery store of C. L. Frost, a large spring bubbled up. In the early days of settlement this was much larger than now and overflowed quite an area of land. The deer found some attractive quality in the water not present in any other spring and resorted there often. This gave it the name of "the deer lick," by which it was long known. Perhaps the same black salts Joseph Kent had harvested piqued the deer’s interest. Cherry Creek Lodge, No. 384, Free and Accepted Masons, was instituted in 1853 with nine charter members, and received the present warrant in June, 1855. Dr. William S. Blaisdell was the first master and the Lodge is still operating today adjacent to the Town Hall. After the decline in railroading, Cherry Creek is still engaged in and prospers with agricultural pursuits, mainly dairy and has many thriving businesses. The Cherry Creek Fire Department still is a foundation for the community, in service to its neighbors since 1890. The Cherry Creek Inn George N. Frost was a well-known race horse breeder and one of Cherry Creek’s founding fathers. He built this splendid Italian Villa in the 1860s. Though the carriage house and barns have long fallen to the elements, the house was lovingly restored by Tom and Joan Owen in 1989, and what a fine job they did. It was purchased in 2005 by Sharron Howe Sweeting and the late Lester Sweeting and can be found at 1022 West Road (CR 68) in Cherry Creek.

Women’s Health Services 'For Generations' In Your Own Backyard
Contributed Article
Brooks Memorial Hospital
Linda Ingham remembers warm and welcoming surroundings on the day she delivered her son, John, at Brooks Hospital in 1959. By the time Linda’s third child was born a few years later, a new maternity wing had been constructed to meet the ever-growing healthcare needs in the community. “My youngest daughter was among the first babies born in the new maternity wing”, she gloats. For generations, Brooks Hospital has been known as a special place for women and children. Fifty years and five great-grandchildren later, at age 80, the Village of Fredonia resident still frequents
Brooks; but now as a visitor in the maternity wing or at the hospital’s specialty Women’s Imaging Center for her annual mammogram. “Four generations of women in my family have gone to BROOKS for all of our healthcare needs. I delivered my children there - my daughter gave birth to her child there - and all five of my great-grandchildren were born there. My daughter makes sure I have my annual mammogram at Brooks too.” Women’s health remains among the priorities at Brooks as it continues to expand and strengthen its service offering, with quality care geared specifically to women at every life stage. Specialty Ob/Gyn physicians help adolescent girls understand a healthy body image and safe sex
practices, and nutrition-focused Ob/ Gyn care for pregnant, lactating and post-partum women is the norm at Brooks. Private rooms are standard in the state-of-the-art maternity wing, which features pediatric newborn care, certified lactation counselors and an experienced nursing staff to help women carry out personalized birthing plans. Breast health, early detection and cancer prevention remain priorities for a team of healthcare professionals who cater to mature women, busy moms and working women. The hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center offers extended outpatient hours for digital mammograms, ultrasound, MRIs and bone scans with the same high quality service, technology and expertise found
in Buffalo or Erie. Women just like Linda trust Brooks to help her maintain an active lifestyle and the energy needed to fully enjoy a growing generation of healthy families in Northern Chautauqua County. For information on the full suite of Women’s Health Services at Brooks, or to schedule an appointment, call 366-1111 or visit www.brookshospital.org.

Grove City College Looking into higher education can raise questions about cost, financial aid and debt. Grove City College, which strives to provide a quality education in a Christian environment at an affordable cost, may have the answers. The College believes in the freedom that comes with a good plan for financial aid. Grove City keeps tuition about half the national average of other private colleges and maintains the lowest tuition of all 89 independent colleges and universities in Pennsylvania. Tuition at GCC runs about $15,500 annually. Some 70 percent of freshmen and 71 percent of undergrads receive some form of financial aid, with the average financial aid package averaging about $6,500.
which essentially means one student is subsidizing another. After applying to Grove City, the first thing a potential student should do is complete the Grove City College Financial Aid Application on the website by the April 15 deadline. Next, they should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.) The College doesn’t require students to fill out the federal form, but it can be helpful to maximize consideration for state-funded forms of financial aid. The deadline to fill out a FAFSA for the state of Pennsylvania is May 1, and the form can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. One way to ease the tuition burden is utilizing outside or private scholarship opportunities. “Never assume that there are no scholarships for you,” Tom Ball, director of financial aid at GCC, said. “You never know what the results will be, and this is the best type of financial aid because it doesn’t have to be repaid.”
Grove City College doesn’t accept federal student aid, which allows it to avoid the cost of complying with unnecessary government regulations that can inflate tuition bills at other schools. Unlike other schools, Grove City doesn’t offer tuition discounts to some student while charging others full price, Students and parents are encouraged to use

free online search engines to find scholarship. The College offers merit scholarships available to students in the sophomore, junior and senior years. “By going to an institution that offers an excellent education, that avoids excessive debt, practices good financial stewardship and offers merit and need-based financial aid programs, students receive outstanding value for their education dollar,” Dr. John Inman, vice president for enrollment services, said. In fact, Consumers Digest ranked Grove City College the number one Top Value private liberal arts college in the nation.

It is this preparation for the global marketplace—and for life—that ranks Allegheny above the rest and attracts national attention. Allegheny ranks in the Top 5% of schools for graduates who go on to earn Ph.D.’s and in the Top 4% in the sciences. Because of
the reputation behind an Allegheny degree, our students are accepted to top graduate schools at rates twice the national average.

Luckily, many resources are available to help demystify the process, and they’re free. For instance, many high schools have a career center and guidance counselors who can offer information about specific schools and scholarship opportunities. Online tools can also prove a valuable resource. For example, Sallie Mae has launched a suite of new, user-friendly tools, including a College Planning Calculator
where families can create a customized plan to pay for college, as well as a scholarship database with more than $18 billion in combined scholarships. These tools are on the company’s new “plan for college” section of its website at Salliemae.com/planforcollege.
Lastly, families should consider applying for federal student aid on an annual basis, no matter what their financial status. To fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), visit www.FAFSA.ed.gov.
Mobile resources, such as the new app “College Ahead,” are specifically designed to help college bound students take the next step, providing an interactive roadmap for saving and planning for college.

LOCAL TEAMS SHOW TALENT, TOUGHNESS IN SECTION VI PLAYOFFS By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Chautauqua County boys and girls basketball teams continue to make waves throughout the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Section VI playoffs. One of those teams was the Fredonia Hillbillies on Tuesday night at Buffalo State College. The No. 3 Hillbillies were up against a tough opponent in No. 2 Wilson in the Class B-2 semifinals, but jumped out to a relatively stunning 41-29 lead. But with the end of its season quickly approaching, Wilson turned it on and cut that lead to just one point with less than a minute remaining in the game. That’s when Fredonia junior Patrick Moore made the play of his career. Moore got just enough of a Wilson inbounds pass to deflect it to teammate Jarod Burmaster. Burmaster then quickly fed Moore under the basket for a wide-open layup and a crucial two points. Moore was able to hit a couple clutch free throws after a defensive stop to ice the game for Fredonia and pull off the upset — albeit a minor upset for a team that has only lost two games this year (19-2). Moore led Fredonia with 20 points while also chipping in five rebounds, three steals and a pair of blocks. Teammate Cam Voss was good for 10 points while Noah Voss grabbed nine rebounds to lead the team. Saturday will be the Class B-2 finals for Fredonia, when the Hillbillies will take the court against No. 6 Buffalo East, which knocked off No. 1 Cleveland Hill in the other semifinal contest. Fredonia handled East 74-47 just a few weeks ago, but obviously the regular season and the playoffs are two totally different animals. That game will be at noon at Buffalo State College. Meanwhile, in the Class D playoffs, Sherman has gotten to stay a little closer to home with the semifinals and finals being held at Jamestown Community College. The undefeated No. 2 Wildcats (20-0) recently knocked off No. 6 Westfield on Tuesday night to advance to the Class D title game. Sherman never really had a problem with the Wolverines

and cruised to an impressive 75-52 win — Sherman’s fourth win over Westfield this season. A good portion of the Sherman offense came from the hot hand of Chris Robson, who knocked down five threepointers en route to an 18-point, six-assist night. The win sets up a meeting with No. 1 International Prep on Friday night at 5:15 at JCC. International Prep survived No. 4 Panama 57-53 on Monday to advance to the finals. CONTINUED ON PG 28

FACES OF MLB (PT. 1), CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Baltimore Orioles: Manny Machado. This was a tough one right off the bat (get it?). Adam Jones has been with the team for a long time now and has made multiple All-Star appearances. He’s probably the team’s best player. Chris Davis led the league in home runs two years ago before falling off last year. But Machado has that certain spunk that you look for from a face of the franchise. He’s a great player that will only continue to improve, but it’s that fire that he plays with (see his bat-throwing incident) that makes him the pick here. Boston Red Sox: David Ortiz. This was basically a two-man race between Big Papi and former American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player Dustin Pedroia. But I don’t think you’ll find much argument about the honors going to Ortiz here. What this guy has done on the field and for the city of Boston can’t be ignored. Even at the age of 39, Ortiz is still a force to be reckoned with and one of the most recognizable faces in the game. New York Yankees: C.C. Sabathia. Gone are the days of Jeter, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Co. So really, who else could this be besides Sabathia? He’s struggled recently, but he was New York’s best player for a number of years. Carlos Beltran, Jacoby Ellsbury, Mark Teixeira, Chase Headley, Brian McCann? These guys aren’t real Yankees. Alex Rodriguez? What do you say Yankees fans? No, in true Yankee fashion, there aren’t any real Yankees on this team. Sabathia by default. Tampa Bay Rays: Evan Longoria. You were expecting Ernesto Frieri? Longoria isn’t just the face of the Rays right now, but he’s probably the face of the history of the franchise.

FACES OF MLB (PT. 1), CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 (though I’d disagree) that he should have three MVP awards already. He’s become one of the most popular players in the game. Albert Pujols is still very productive, a first-ballot HOFer and one of the most recognizable faces in MLB, but there’s no question that Trout has surpassed him as the face of the Angels. Oakland Athletics: Coco Crisp. Yuck. This was another really tough choice after all of Oakland’s roster turnover this past offseason and even during the last season. Gone are Josh Donaldson, Yoenis Cespedes, Brandon Moss, Jeff Samardzija and Derek Norris. That leaves Sonny Gray as the A’s best player, but there’s no way the average baseball fan could pick his face out of a lineup…yet. Scott Kazmir is kind of the same way. Ben Zobrist hasn’t suited up in a real game yet. Same for Billy Butler, Ike Davis and Brett Lawrie. So the honor goes to Crisp, who has at least been on the team for the past five years. Seattle Marineres: Felix Hernandez. King Felix was a pretty easy choice despite the presence of Robinson Cano on the roster. I think to most casual fans, Cano is still a Yankee (not literally, of course). There are actually quite a few recognizable faces on Seattle. Fernando Rodney has the arrow thing. Hisashi Iwakuma has been Hernandez’s intern the last couple of years. Newly signed Rickie Weeks has a distinguishing look. Nelson Cruz is one of the best home run hitters in the league. But King Felix is still the man in Seattle. He’d probably be a top-five face of MLB, in fact. Texas Rangers: Yu Darvish. It seems like Darvish is still a new commodity, but he’s already been making MLB hitters look foolish for three years. He’s the kind of pitcher that you hope pitches the day before your team starts a series against Texas. The fact that he’s 6-5 makes him literally stand out in a crowd, but he’s also pretty clearly the most recognizable face on the Rangers’ roster. There are plenty of runner-up candidates, however. Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, Elvis Andrus and Shin-Soo Choo all have

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 In the Class C-2 semifinals, No. 1 Silver Creek predictably handled its business against No. 4 Chautauqua Lake, 61-33, Monday at Jamestown Community College. As has been the case for what seems like years now, the Black Knights were led by the intimidating presence of BIlly Brooks. The senior forward netted a season-low eight points, but was a force under the basket with 10 rebounds and 11 blocks. The defense he provided forced Chautauqua Lake to nearly completely abandon the inside attack. Silver Creek was able to survive the rare off game offensively from Brooks mainly because of the play of junior Trevon Thompson, who poured in a game-high 26 points to go with four rebounds, three assists and seemed unstoppable at points. Chautauqua Lake was paced by Carter Davidson’s 14 points, but couldn’t pull off what would have been a massive upset
The Black Knights punched their ticket to the Class C-2 finals against No. 2 Tapestry Charter. That game will be held Friday at 8:15 p.m. at Jamestown Community College. In Class AA, No. 1 Jamestown throttled No. 4 Lancaster to the tune of 71-35. As of this writing, however, the Red Raiders didn’t know who they’d be taking on in the finals as No. 2 Williamsville North and No. 3 Niagara Falls are set to square off at Buffalo State College on Wednesday evening at 8:15 p.m. Jamestown will take on the winner of that game on Saturday, March 7 at 8:15 p.m. at Buffalo State College.

Fredonia's Helps Tops SUNYAC Freshmen
Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
For the second straight year, a Fredonia basketball player was named the SUNYAC Rookie of the Year. Freshman Ian Helps (Bronx, N.Y. / Greater New York Academy) earned the nod for the men this year. Last season, Alexis Cheatham won the award for the women. Helps, part of second-year head coach Phillip Seymore's first recruiting class, averaged 14.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Helps' scoring average was tenth in the conference, while his rebounding ranked third. The efficient Helps also converted 53.8 percent of his field goals, ranking fourth in the conference. He added 30 blocks and 21 steals to his stat line. Helps became the fourth men's player to win a SUNYAC award. Tim Gebauer (1997-98) and Chris Hughey (1984-85 and 1985-86) won Player of the Year awards, while Keith Stiles (1992-93) was the SUNYAC Tournament MVP.

SIMON LOOKING FOR SUCCESS FROM THE SIDELINE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 hope they'll help her make the program even better than what I was able to do."Former head women's lacrosse coach, Chris Case, remembers Amy Simon's transition to college when he recruited her from Amherst High School. "When Amy started playing collegiately, she needed to be pushed in a way to get the most out of her talents," Case said. Â "Amy found success without much work in high school. There would be days when she would be lazy, and I would really have to focus on her. There were definitely times where she thought I was singling her out, and there were days where that was true. I wanted to see her full potential shine through." Six years later, Simon stands as the Blue Devil's all-time leader in goals (242) and points (286). Now the head coach of the program, she is ready to motivate her players in a similar way. "One of the biggest things I've learned from (Coach) Case is in taking an interest in the players, knowing them not just as athletes but as people." Simon said. "I know for me, personally, he had to light a fire under me and get a spark inside me, and then I would let loose. But people respond to different types of coaching, you can't coach every single athlete the same way." Simon is taking over a program that was led by Case for the previous 12 years. After graduating from Fredonia in 2012, she was considered by many to be the best player in program history. Simon's talent as an athlete is still fresh in her players' minds, especially the ones who were her teammates. Current Blue Devil seniors Katie Kleine (Cazeovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) and Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y./Corning-Painted Post West) were freshmen when Simon was a senior. "At some point we all really looked up to Amy because she was just so good," Kleine said. "Now with her being our coach, we look up to her so much more. I'm really happy she got the job here. That way, she can keep going with what we've built over the last four years." "Amy set the tone when we came in as freshmen," Cussins said. "I learned a lot from her with the transition from high school to college and that's contributed to her now coaching us. The transition for both of us has been good so far." The transition from player to coach can be a learning experience, estab-
lishing new boundaries and ways of relating. Simon says the transition has been as smooth as could be expected. "For the older girls, we played together so we have that mutual respect from being teammates," she said. "The girls have been great about it. They wouldn't disrespect you as a teammate so they wouldn't as a coach." Simon has expected the seniors to take the lead in creating the culture around their new head coach. "It comes a lot from the upperclassmen," Cussins said. "Amy said that the underclassmen look up to us and how we treat her is how the new players will treat her." On Saturday, Simon won her first collegiate lacrosse game as a head coach against Wooster. Even with her team's first win out of the way, there are still some nerves being a first-year head coach. "There's a few nerves going into the first game," Simon said. "It goes back to being an athlete, every game I was nervous, even as a senior. You prepare and do everything you need to do in practice, but during the game is where you show how your preparation paid off." That preparation has involved similar systems to what Case used in the past, though Simon now implements daily conditioning demands. "When I played, I always wished we conditioned every day and lifted three times a week to keep at it," Simon said. "I think they were surprised when we started conditioning every day. Obviously there are some little things like that I'll change from what (Coach) Case did, but a lot of things we're still doing the same." The team hopes those little changes lead to a continued steady climb up the national rankings. The Blue Devils currently are No. 20 in the IWLCA Division III rankings and opened the season ranked No. 18 by LaxMagazine.com. "She wants to continue the identity we've built for Fredonia lacrosse, but also has some twists and changes to make it her own," Case said. "Whatever those changes are, we hope they'll help her make the program even better than what I was able to do."

Golfer's
D i a ry
IT WAS WELL WORTH TRAVELING 800 MILES FOR 18 HOLES By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
If you’re shocked to see a Winter edition of the Golfer’s Diary, let me explain. I recently took a vacation down to Wilmington, North Carolina to visit my sister and brother-in-law. It was record low temperatures when we got there (their 18 degrees felt like a tropical paradise to us). But then suddenly on Sunday it was 60 degrees. So naturally, Matt (who is a lifelong golfer and is addicted to the sport even more than I am) and I went out and played 18 holes. Matt plays some pretty difficult courses, but seeing as how I haven’t been able to play since mid-October, he didn’t want to overwhelm me. Therefore, our destination was Castle Bay Country Club. It’s a pretty foreign concept to me that courses down there stay open all year round, but it’s true. And this course was clearly taken care of despite the **cough** cold temperatures they had been dealing with in North Carolina. I was using Matt’s father’s clubs, which were admittedly too short for me and the putter was very different from what I’m used to. They were extremely nice clubs, but a guy’s clubs are special to him, as I’m sure I don’t have to explain. It’s like a game within a game trying to use someone else’s clubs. Perhaps the biggest difference was the full two degrees more of loft on his driver. I couldn’t stop from hitting high, short drives. And yet, beginner’s luck definitely had a hold of me early. Because of a botched chip that went sailing over the green I had a double bogey on the first hole, but I came back with a pair of pars on the ensuing l par 4 and par 3, respectively. I’d be happy with that in July at Pinehurst in Westfield or Cassadaga Country Club while using my own clubs. Sadly, that’s about as good as it got. The rust started to show after that and never really let up. I certainly hit some shots I was happy with, but it was tough sledding. My iron play was simply awful. I was chucking everything in sight. It was exactly the opposite of what I expected from using clubs that were too short. You’d think that logically I’d be topping a lot of balls. Perhaps I was just overcompensating. Honestly, the lack of golf shoes was noticeable, too. I just purchased my golf shoes during the season last year, so I played in sneakers for two full years. But going back to sneakers was a bummer. Go to your local pro shop and buy some golf shoes if you don’t have any. You won’t regret it. This course was really a lot of fun. The coolest hole (and one of the coolest I’ve ever played) has two parallel creeks running through the fairway. It’s a par 5, so your drive isn’t affected at all, but your second shot has to land between these two creeks. So it’s not exactly shooting onto an island green or anything, but it’s pretty similar. I actually duffed my third shot and landed just short of the second creek, so that was a lucky break. I imagine the course would be much harder during the wet season when all

This guy has the right idea. I can't wait any longer, either.
of the creeks are higher and wider. As it was, the water hazards were generally pretty dry. Though there were still plenty of ponds all of the course. I think I only lost one ball to the water, so that’s a plus. After struggling mightily through about the first 15 holes, I did finally start hitting some nice shots on the final three. Par, bogey, par was certainly a nice way to end the day. Actually it got me thinking about the courses that I play often. I kind of wish some of them ended with an easy hole so I could go home on a high note. As it is, I usually end up taking a proverbial dump in my pants. Maybe I should just start on a hole besides No. 1 so I can pick my ending hole. Perhaps the greatest part of being in 60 degree weather playing golf was that I could almost literally feel my body thawing out. If case you didn’t notice, we didn’t get above freezing for the entire month of February. That can’t be good for one’s body. But even one day of warm weather was like a glass of milk in the 90s — it did the body good. Golfers, I want your opinion. I am going to start writing a special on golf etiquette. I want to know what you see on the golf course that really irks you. There are tons of unwritten rules that people might not even know they are breaking. Some people are just jerks, but honestly people that stand with their shadow on your ball when you’re putting probably don’t even notice they’re doing it.

based. Each of the four types of hordes have matching colored dice. While trying to fight the red demons, roll the red dice. When fighting the blue dragonkin, roll the blue dice. Pretty simple stuff. But each type of horde also has different numbers needed to defeat. The orcs are relatively easy to defeat, as only a three is needed to defeat them. But the dragonkin are brutally tough as only a roll of five or six will hit. Knocking off the minions is all well and good, but eventually the heroes will need to venture out and take on the big bad generals. Each of the four generals has a special ability that makes them even tougher than usual to defeat. One of them heals immediately after battle, meaning that you need to kill them in one fell swoop. Another can parry hits, meaning any ‘1’ rolled will cancel out any other hits. Trust me when I say, these abilities can just ruin an otherwise sound strategy. Another fun mechanic in the game is that once one general is defeated, the remaining three march even faster towards Monarch City. At the end of each players turn, cards are flipped to tell the players where more minions spawn and

I really think I got four turns. Obviously this isn’t the norm, but it’s happened on more than one occasion. That said, I still give this game a big honking thumbs up. which general takes another step towards Monarch City. But when two and eventually three of these cards are drawn, the end of the game (if you get that far) becomes frenzied chaos. And I mean that in a good way. It’s fun. The game comes with a nice variety of characters, each with their own matching miniature. The minis aren’t exactly the highest of quality, but they’re more than passable. I’ll probably paint mine eventually. There are eight characters in the base game with three expansions that add four more each. Plus there’s one promotional figure that’s extremely easy to track down on eBay, etc. This high number of characters, along with the modular board setup, certainly helps with the game’s replayability.
The game changes and evolves differently each time. Heroes might want to split up to calm the attacks of the minions or they might want to gang up on one of the generals. If there’s a right way to play, I haven’t found it yet. Lastly, the art by Larry Elmore is fantastic. It’s a very bright fantasy setting that really helps draw players into the game.
TO OWN OR NOT TO OWN If you like generic fantasy settings and cooperative games, owning this game is a no brainer. If you like Pandemic, but would like to add just the slightest bit more complexity, this is the game for you. However, this game is not for everyone. First off, the box is gigantic. I could easily fit two games onto the FINAL THOUGHTS shelf if I ever got rid of DOTR. Though that’s I’ve already made it unlikely to happen.

The trade can't be presence was valuable completed until then, to have around while but the announcement Bridgewater got his wouldn't have been career going. made if there were any By Dave Campbell AP Pro Football Writer
That'll be the goal for the Bills, too, with Cassel starting his 11th NFL season and E.J. Manuel still in the developmental stage. This was their ''Plan B,'' after a failed bid to sign free agent Josh McCown last week. McCown instead chose the Cleveland Browns, who gave him a threeyear contract. Buffalo entered the winter with Manuel as the only quarterback on the roster after Kyle Orton announced his retirement a day after the season ended. Manuel has been inconsistent, with difficulty staying healthy since his selection in the first round of the 2013 draft.
In this Sept. 14, 2014, file photo, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel throws during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the New England Patriots in Minneapolis. The Vikings and the Buffalo Bills have agreed on a trade that will send quarterback Matt Cassel to the Bills next week and fetch the Vikings extra draft picks. (AP Photo/Ann Heisenfelt, File)
Manuel had a 4-6 record during a rookie year in which he was sidelined by three separate knee injuries. Last season, Manuel was benched after a 2-2 start and replaced by Orton. Though Manuel will have his chance to reclaim the starting job, he now will have competition. The Bills, under new coach Rex Ryan, have expressed a desire to add at least two quarterbacks for 2015. The first addition is Cassel. The trade for Cassel came on the heels of a blockbuster move the Bills agreed to Tuesday night, a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to acquire running back LeSean McCoy in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso. After finishing 26th out of 32 in the league last
year in total yards, the Bills have brought an aggressive approach into the offseason to improve their offense after missing the playoffs for the 15th straight year. The Bills finished 9-7, their best record since 2004. In January, the Bills took a gamble to upgrade their offensive line by signing guard Richie Incognito, who had been out of football since the middle of the 2013 season for his involvement in a bullying scandal with the Miami Dolphins. Then there was the pursuit of McCoy, the thirdleading rusher in the NFL in 2014. The Bills don't have a first-round or a fourthround selection in the draft this year. Cassel will have some familiarity with the
AFC East, having spent the first four seasons of his career with New England. He guided the Patriots to an 11-5 record in 2008 after taking over for an injured Tom Brady. Cassel's finest performance came in 2010 with Kansas City. He threw for 27 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions while being picked for his only Pro Bowl and leading the Chiefs to the playoffs that year. With Ponder becoming an unrestricted free agent, Bridgewater will be the only quarterback of significance on Minnesota's roster. Pat Devlin was added to the practice squad last November and then signed to a reserve/ future contract immediately after the regular season.

Alonso's career was derailed in July when he sustained a season-ending left knee injury during a pre-training camp workout at Oregon. He spent all of last season recovering and is expected to be healthy for the start of spring minicamps. In Buffalo, McCoy, 26, will be reunited with former Eagles running back Bryce Brown, who was acquired by the Bills in a trade in May. With questions at quarterback, the Bills are intending to introduce a runheavy offense under Ryan and new offensive coordinator Greg Roman. The trade to acquire McCoy is the next in a series of moves to upgrade the Bills' running attack, which sputtered under former coach Doug Marrone, who opted out of his contract on Dec. 31. Buffalo finished 25th in the NFL in yards crushing in managing 1,482 yards to set a 16game season franchise low. That was regarded as a huge disappointment for a team that entered the season featuring an established one-two running back tandem of Spiller and Fred Jackson. Injuries didn't help. Spiller missed seven games with a broken collarbone, while Jackson was slowed by
knee and groin injuries. The Bills have already taken a gamble to upgrade their offensive line by signing guard Richie Incognito, who had been out of football since the middle of the 2013 season for his involvement in the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal. Roman has an established track record for running the ball after spending the previous four seasons overseeing the 49ers' offense. The 49ers finished among the top 10 in yards rushing all four times. Roman's approach isn't expected to change in Buffalo based on comments he made during his introductory news conference in January. ''If you can exert your will at the line of scrimmage, it's going to open a lot of other things in the offense,'' Roman said. ''So to simply say, 'Hey, we're just going to run the football,' well, nobody simply runs the football. But we want to run the football to a level of where people respect and fear us in our ability to do so.'' The quiet and soft-spoken - but hard-hitting - Alonso quickly emerged as a fan favorite in Buffalo for his durability and on-field intensity.

protection of our significant wintering bald eagle population. Key actions to meet these objectives include: • Consult with landowners, developers, business and industry to ensure that proposed projects occurring near eagle nesting and wintering locations avoid or minimize impacts to bald eagles that may result from the potential impacts of: ◦ Land clearing; ◦ Increased human disturbance; ◦ Collisions with cars, trains, electric
lines, wind turbines and other structures; and, ◦ Environmental contaminants including lead and PCBs. • Work collaboratively with landowners to limit human disturbance, address the risk of predation and gather information on the status of nests by building partnerships between landowners, NYSDEC, local land trusts, environmental groups, and volunteers. • Discourage the intentional feeding of bald eagles to avoid potential exposure to contamination and disease. • Collect
dead eagles for necropsy to determine cause of death and assessment of exposure to heavy metals, toxins, and disease before sending along all eagle carcasses to the National Eagle Repository. • Monitoring the distribution and abundance of breeding and wintering bald eagles in New York State at a level suitable to ensure objectives are met, incorporating volunteers where possible. The Draft Conservation Plan for Bald Eagles in New York State may be downloaded directly from http://www.dec.ny.gov/ animals/7068.html. Additional information on Bald Eagles can be found on DEC's web-site. DEC will accept comments on the draft plan until Friday, April 10, 2015.
