Lake Effect Snow
Is it just
me or did anyone else notice that we have dodged getting
slammed by a lot of Lake Effect Snow due to the fact
that the lake is sitting at 32 degrees. It is looking
more & more like we may not get any real lake effect
snow for the rest of the winter! That makes me a
happy camper!

1st Northeast, tied with
Ottawa
Tyler Myers'
performance in January wasn't much different than his
work in October, November or December — other than the
fact he won an award for it.
The NHL on Tuesday named Myers the
Rookie of the Month for January. The Buffalo Sabres
defenseman had four goals and six assists while leading
all first-year players in average ice time (24:42).
"It's exciting," Myers said after
practice in HSBC Arena. "It's always nice to get
recognized for your play. I'm just trying to take it
game-by-game here, and luckily I put together a good
month in January."
He's put together a good season. Myers,
who turned 20 on Feb 1st, leads all rookies with 24
assists and is fourth with 31 points. Obviously, January
wasn't his only award-caliber month,
"It didn't feel any different," Myers
said while comparing it to his first few calendar flips.
"I'm not too worried about points. I'm just trying to
focus on making sure I play defense first. Luckily, this
last month was a good month for contributing
offensively."
Myers became the first Buffalo player to
earn the NHL's monthly honor since Drew Stafford was
named top rookie in March 2007.
"It's great," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff
said. "I think it's well-deserved. The minutes he's
played, how well he's played, the fact that he's been a
plus player for us throughout the year, I think it's
very well-deserved."
The big question is whether Myers will
collect the Calder Trophy in June as Rookie of the Year.
It's a conversation that includes Colorado's Matt
Duchene, the New York Islanders' John Tavares,
Philadelphia's James van Riemsdyk and Detroit's Jimmy
Howard. Myers is trying to stay away from the chatter,
but he's finding it tough.
"There's
so much talk and you hear a lot of people bring it up
around you, so in that sense it's hard not to think
about it," Myers said, "but I just try to put it in the
back of my mind."

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
As talk about global warming continues
heating up, you may hear the term “carbon footprint”
being used in conversations about the environment. If
you’ve been wondering what that means, here’s a quick
explanation. It’s thought that carbon dioxide is the
main “greenhouse gas” responsible for global warming.
Your carbon footprint is basically a measure of how much
carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere as a result of
your daily activities. If you’d like to determine your
carbon footprint, there are “carbon calculators” in
abundance on the Internet. These calculators ask you
questions about your lifestyle, then provide you with
your personal carbon footprint in terms of tons of
carbon dioxide emitted per year.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Once you’ve calculated your carbon
footprint, you might be interested in ways to reduce
your annual carbon dioxide output.
Here are a few simple suggestions:
• Use energy-efficient fluorescent light
bulbs in your home.
• Unplug electronic devices when they’re
not in use. Items such as DVD players and stereos still
draw power even when they’re turned off.
• Buy fruits and vegetables locally when
you can (the ones you find at the supermarket are
usually transported on trucks that drive an average of
1,500 miles from the field to the store, contributing a
significant amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere).
• For shorter trips around town, consider
walking or riding a bicycle rather than driving.
• Look into hybrid options the next time
you purchase a car.
Reducing your greenhouse gas emissions is
easier than you might think. By working together to
lower our carbon dioxide output, we can have a positive
impact on the state of our planet!
