8 Reasons Homeschooling Is Superior to Public Education
The title of this article is polarizing and I expect to get in trouble for writing it. As a homeschooling parent, I'm not supposed to think homeschooling superior to institutionalized education. I'm supposed to take the stance that all choices are equal in the effort not to offend anyone who prefers public schooling. It's a hot topic in the mommy circles and one that most homeschooling moms want to avoid. We all encounter the same comments and exclamations like, "How do you do it? When are you going to put them in real school? You must be crazy! How long do you plan to do this?" My personal favorite: "I could never do that!" This article is a response to all the times I've wanted to answer truthfully but held my tongue in order to preserve peace.
Disclaimer: Let it be understood that I believe in the freedom of every individual to choose how to raise their own children how they see fit. This does not prevent me from having an opinion as to the nature of public school and what state-run education inflicts on American children. This is based on personal experience and years of study and research. Further, many of you will argue that none of the examples in this article have ever happened to your child in your school. My answer is, not yet. I warn you, if you are a public schooling advocate and you continue to read this article you may become unhappy with your current choices and find yourself at a homeschooling conference and facing disapproval from your social circle. Read at your own risk.
8. Social Programming for Dummies.
Most people worry that homeschoolers aren't properly "socialized," whatever that means. As if uncivilized children should socialize each other (bad idea). Anyone who has read Lord of the Flies knows how that ends. And if the teachers are supposed to do the socializing, why can't parents? Every homeschooling family I know (and that's quite a few) has as many, if not more, extracurricular activities for their kids as everyone else. There are 4-H, Girl/Boy Scouts, Jiu Jitsu (that's us), music lessons, art lessons, metal working, speech and debate, sports and more.
But the most important difference in home-school socialization is that the social values taught come from the parents instead of the state. During our lessons we learn about reading, writing, math, science, history, Bible, Christian character, and art. We spend absolutely zero time on fictional, apocalyptic "global warming." We don't preach at them about marriage "equality" or teach them how to put condoms on bananas. We do, however, teach them the nutritional value of bananas and how to be a good steward of the earth by composting the banana peel after we eat it. The state's values have no effect on our children. When we teach history, we teach them the values of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. We do not blather on endlessly about the supposed heroics of mass murderers like Che Guevara. Because of this difference, homeschooling parents produce inherently American children.
A person isn't American simply because he was born here and exists here, but rather because he has internalized and embraced American values. Home-teachers have the freedom to teach the real history of America that includes the Bible and its influence in American government and in the lives of our Founders. Without this knowledge (whitewashed from public curriculum), a child will learn a false history of his country and never truly understand the concept of rights that come from the Creator and not men. This one idea is so important, so vital, yet it is left out of context. As a result, these children grow up to attend colleges where "speech codes" punish free-thinkers and no one thinks it's odd, not to mention illegal.
Publicly educated kids grow up too susceptible to the idea that "hate speech" should actually be silenced instead of balanced with more speech. They sit at the feet of the progeny of Marxist professors who fill their heads with ideas as old as civilization, ideas of madness and tyranny disguised as "fairness" and "equality." This kind of education does not create Americans. Our children are being robbed of their rightful inheritance. Gone is academic excellence and here to stay is social programming.
My home is a happy vacation from such wrong-headed and stupid ideas. (And my children's teacher wouldn't be caught dead on strike in a Che shirt.)

Tin cans should be properly prepared for salvage and newspapers and magazines securely tied in bundles to facilitate handling. Both should be placed on the front porch near the front door and protected from the weather "in case of snow or rain. There is still an urgent demand for both tin and waste paper for the war effort and everyone should cooperate by having their tin cans and any waste paper that has not been already collected, ready for the city trucks Thursday morning. PIONEERS LOSE TO ST. LOUIS IN OVERTIME GAME Visitors Win Custody "Casper" Friday Evening of CHANGES MADE IN CLARE COUNTY 0 P A RATIONING SET-UP District Supervisor to Be in Harrison Office One Day Each Week ■% Another change has been made in the ration board set-up, according to John F. Kessel, District Director of Saginaw. Heretofore some duplications existed which will now be avoided. This. came about when a district supervisor-was appointed, whose duties it will be to spend one day in the local office "each week, to inspect all branches of rationing. , Another change was made in the gasoline rationing. During the past all applications were approved by the local board and coupons issued. Under the present system the application will be approved by the local board and sent to Saginaw where the coupons will be issued and mailed direct to: the car owner. . ' ' According to Frank Littlefieid, Chairman of the local bpar'dj there will be no delay in coupons being returned. However, for cases of emergency, a lew coupons,will be kept at the local offices to be issued when cases arise and to provide for soldiers hotoe oil furlough. The new* set-up, will be in force within' the next two weeks; Three minutes and fifty seconds of jitters by the Clare Hi Pioneers enabled the St. Louis basketball team to walk off the floor on the long end of a 28-26 score in a thrilling overtime battle. The Green and White also lost custody of "Casper," whose change of residence, we hope, will last no longer than next fall's football game between the two schools. The Pioneers showed the local fans a fine brand of ball handling but were unable to hit the hoop with any regularity. St. Louis, on the other hand, was hot and although out-played, led the locals most of the time. St. Louis took and early lead, with some accurate basketball shooting, and held it until just before the end of the first half when quick baskets by Chaffee and Hartshorn tied the score at eleven all. Immediately after the start of the second half, St. Louis took a six-point lead and appeared well on the way to an eas-.y victory. The Pioneers, however, opened up with some fine basketball and with fifty seconds remaining to play, held a. three point lead. At this point they lost the ball to St. Louis twice, St. Louis scoring both times for a one point lead. Harvey Hartshorn tied the score in the most dramatic moment of the game when he made good on a charity toss after the game time had run out, having been fouled simultaneously with the final whistle. Both teams missed several scoring opportunities in the over time but St. Louis did score once on a corner shot to win one of the most exciting games seen on the local floor. Clare was handicapped by the fact that Cappaert was forced to retire midway of the first quarter when he sustained a scalp injury. He came back in the second half to play a fine game. The Pioneer Juniors lost 17-12 in the preliminary. LIONEL DUNCAN HURT IN FALL FROM SILO MONDAY AFTERNOON Robert Gookson Suffers Broken Leg While Playing at School Lionel Duncan was painfully injured at 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon when he fell twenty-five feet to the ground while throwing ensilage from the silo at their farm one mile south and two miles west of Clare. He was brought to the Clare Hospital, where x-ray examination by Dr. S. C. McArthur, revealed that no bones were broken and that there were no dislocations, but Lionel was suffering considerable pain from numerous bruises and a badly sprained right foot. He is recovering satisfactorily at his home. School Boy Injured at Play Robert Cookson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Cookson, of this city, and a sixth grader at the Clare Public School, was painfully Injured while playing soccer during the play period Monday, when another player accidentally kicked him on the shin. X-ray examination at the Clare Hospital revealed a fracture of the right lower leg and the injured limb was placed in a plaster of Paris cast. Although it will be ■necessary to leave the cast on for about a month, he is recovering satisfactorily. Rev. Ernest Burk, of the Brown Corners United Brethren Church, will be at the Eagle Church of God Sunday to bring the message. S. C. BADGLEY PASSES AWAY AT REMUSJAN. 4TH Well Known Sheridan Resident Laid at Rest Here Sunday Sylvanus Cornelius Badgley, aged eighty years, seven months and four days, passed away January 4, 1945, at the home of his son, Vernie, at Remus, Michigan, Having been born, in Ontario, Canada, May 31, 1864, he came to Michigan as a boy, where he later met Cora Terry, whom he married in 1891.

THREE SERIOUSLY BURNED SATURDAY I NEAR BARRYTON i • i 'Explosion Occurs While Men Are Gleaning Oil Field Boiler HEALTH SURVEY MADE RECENTLY IN CLAREJCHOOLS More Children Should Be Immunized Against Contagious Diseases During November and December a survey was made of the Clare School from Kindergarten through the sixth grade by the District*Health Department. In the kindergarten, health examinations were made by Dr. Donnelly, while many mothers attended and were able to have a conference with the doctor regarding their children. Opportunity was given to each parent to have his children immunized against Diphtheria and Smallpox, many took advantage of this but the survey shows that too many of the children in these grades are not protected against these diseases. This makes a dangerous situation. Diphtheria has been increasing more each year and last summer there was small pox in, the community. The fact that the schools are overcrowded makes the danger of the spread of infection larger and parents should heed this warning and have their children immunized. The figures below show how few children are protected and how many have no immunization at all. It will be readily seen that the situation is- worse in the kindergarten. These children are by far the most susceptible to diseases because it is their first experience in being with other children all day in school. These parents should be especially alarmed. Grade Enrollment Immunized Not Im.

Bernard McNerney, of Clare, and Al- jva Dimit and Joe Roys, of Mt. Pleas- ant, were all seriously burned about 11:00 o'clock Saturday morning when ' a boiler house blew up in the Fork j field near Barryton, in Mecosta I county. The men had been pumping crude oil out of the boiler to clean it and removed a large plug; expecting to find a vacuum in the boiler, but instead of a vacuum there was pressure which forced the oil and gas out of the boiler and an explosion followed. The instant McNerney noticed the pressure, he leaped from the boiler house warning his companions, but none of the three wtio were in the building at the time escaped the flaming crude oil, McNerney was taken to the North- way Clinic at Mt. Pleasant, and following treatment for a badly burned face and right hand, was released arid brought to his home here, where he is recovering satisfactorily. Dimit was taken to the Central Michigan Community Hospital at Mt. Pleasant and Roys to the Northway Clinic, both suffering burns about the face, head and neck and in a very serious condition. Dimit is still con.fined to^he hospital and in some pa'in, but" he rested fairly well Wednesday night and his condition was reported as fair Thursday. Roys was released from the clinic Tuesday and is recovering satisfactorily at his home. McNerney is an employee of the Leonard Pipe Line Company and Dimit?-and Roys employees of the Chapman Oil Company. EARLY MORNING FIRE THREATENS DOHERTY BLDG. Starts in Elallway Between Apartment and K of C Lodge Rooms Fire that started about 1:00 o'clock ! Sunday morning in a waste paper basket, in the hallway between the K of C Lodge rooms and the apartment occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Mervil Robi- son, threatened the Doherty Building at the southeast corner of McEwan and Fifth streets. Arthur Cour discovered the fire through a nearby window, went to the Hotel Doherty across the street and gave the alarm and then went to the apartment to awaken the Robisons, but found that Mr. and Mrs. Robison, who had been in bed asleep about three hours, had already been awak ened by the fire and that he was trying to extinguish it with pailfuls of water. Firemen discovered upon their arrival that the fire had gone up the ; window casing nearby and was in the attic and it was necessary to use a water hose line to extinguish it. Fire damage to the hallway and attic, water damage to the Doherty Sons undertaking and plumbing offices below, and smoke damage in the apartment, K of C Lodge rooms, Selective Service Board offices, and' possibly in the Masonic Lodge rooms, all on the second floor of the building, may reach $500. Youth have been known to frequent this hallway on Saturday evenings and it is thought that someone might have unintentionally dropped a lighted match or cigaret butt into the waste paper basket. Farmers Asked to Bring Waste Paper to Clare Farmers who have old newspapers or magazines they wish to contribute to the waste paper drive to help relieve the acute paper shortage and provide the necessary waste paper to be used in-manufacturing cartons for packing munitions and medical supplies for the armed forces, are requested to leave them at the salvage barn across the highway from George J. Lehr's implement store on old US-10 or at The Clare Sentinel Office, The newspapers and magazines should be tied securely in bundles to facilitate handling.

MARCH OF DIMES COMMENCES HERE SUNDAY^ JAN. 14 Proceeds to Be Used to Fight Infantile Paralysis RAMPANT RUMOR OF ESPIONAGE IN VICINITY FALSE F. B. I. Has No Knowledge of Short Wave Sending Set Here Rumors have been rampant in Clare and vicinity for the past several days concerning an alleged short wave radio sending set with at least broad hints of espionage. If not started by the appearance of squads of low flying airplanes in this vicinity, the planes have at least, fanned the flames of gossip to the point that the story has been on the lips of about every person in the community from small school children to adults old enough to know better than to spread vicious rumors concerning anyone. Any persons suspecting un-American practices of any nature are urged as their patriotic duty and the defense of their nation to report them' at once to State Police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but are at the sa^ne time warned against repeating charges they cannot prove lest they be sued for slander and prosecuted. No one seems to know where the rumors started and the Good Lord only knows where they might have ended if not investigated and stopped, but public spirited citizens have made inquiry and it has been learned through F.B.I. sources that no investigation or arrests have been made and no short wave sending set found in Clare county by that agency and that State Police of this district know nothing of any such investigation. While everyone is urged to be on the alert for espionage and sabotage, they are warned against the injustice that may be caused innocent parties and their own risk of libel if they spread unfounded rumors. Tho State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation have always dealt thoroughly with suspected persons in such cases and it is our duty to report suspicions of un-American practices to these agencies and not "pass the story on" lest it interfere with their work in case such actions are being perpetrated in this vicinity or elsewhere. CLARE ROD AND GUN CLUB FEEDING BIRDS AGAIN THIS WINTER Fox Hunt Planned Next Sunday Morning to Protect Wild Game The March of Dimes in celebration, of the President's Birthday by the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly. sis will commence here and throughout the United States next Sunday, January 14th, and continue through January 31st, with the 'President's Birthday Ball held Saturday evening, January 27th, commencing at 9:00 o'clock, Whose. Child Is Next? Your child, my child—either of them may be next. They are two of the 32,150,000 children in the United States under 15 years of age. Each one of these children is a candidate for infantile paralysis this year. Your child and mine may be two from the thousands who will wake up twisting and turning in their beds as they burn with fever and struggle to straighten spasm^irawn limbs. Yesterday their legs raced through a routine school day, perhaps a ballet lesson, and a dozen games of their own invention. Today their legs won't work. This is infantile paralysis. It picks its victims from this wealthy home, that tenement—from farms, war production centers, children of our fighting men, small towns and large cities. All children are equally defenseless against this enemy. Regardless of what each child has known before, each one stricken by the crippling virus will feel the same fear of the unknown. More children contracted infantile paralysis in 1944 than in any comparable period in many recent years. But, because of the efforts of the thousands of our volunteers, each fra- gedy-hit child will have every chance for recovery through the complete scientific aid provided by The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. 3,192 Polio Victims Rehabilitated The National Foundation, for Infantile Paralysis, in cooperation with existing government agencies, is today setting a pattern for the rehabilitation of handicapped persons which will serve in good stead as our wounded veterans return home to resume their places in a civilian society. Victims of pollomyelities are even, now opening up new avenues of hope for those of our men who will come back permanently disabled by proving every day that a disability need not stand in the way of economic productivity and independence. A survey recently completed by the Federal Security Agency, Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, reveals that 3,192 handicapped infantile paralysis cases were economically rehabilitated during the year ending June 30, 1943, by the State Rehabilitation Agencies alone. This group, according to the survey, is represented in almost every conceivable profession and occupation. A total of 448 are engaged in professional or semi-professional jobs— among them are doctors, engineers, ministers, artists, musicians, laboratory technicians, architects, and photographers.

"I thought Mike was meeting us?" I asked Nikki as she started to head inside the theatre. She stopped and looked back at me blankly for a moment.
"Mike?" she said.
"You're… boyfriend? What other Mike would you think I meant?" As if snapping back from a daydream she bobbed her head, blinked, and then grinned.
"Oh yeah! Mike, of course. No he's not coming. We broke up." She turned to continue into the theatre, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Woah! Wait a second," I exclaimed, "You can't just drop a bomb like that and take off. What happened? Just a few days ago you said the two of you were looking for apartments. I've never seen you so happy."
Something I didn't recognize flashed in her eyes and she jerked her arm rather roughly from my grasp, tugging and twisting her sweater off her shoulder in the process. Something felt wrong; I couldn't place it. Something was not right. The feeling only intensified as she plastered a discomfiting smile on her face.
"Well I started to feel like things were moving too quickly," she said, but as she went on with her explanation I couldn't hear her. There was something very off, something I couldn't put my finger on. I searched over every inch of her as she continued to talk. My eyes travelled over her clothes, her hair, her face, even scrutinizing the way she was standing. This was Nikki, in every way, but I couldn't shake the odd feeling I was missing something.
"Anyway, it's no big deal Dee, let's just go enjoy the movie, k?" she finished and I snapped back to reality. Maybe I was just tired and being paranoid? Sure Mike and Nikki had seemed blissful only a few days ago, but I'd never been in a relationship as long as they had; perhaps this kind of volatility was normal when you'd been together as long as they had. Finally I nodded and she grinned even wider, if that were possible, and turned once again to walk inside. She began speaking again, but, as before, I could not hear her. With her back to me now that unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach grew stronger. I reassessed her form from behind and that's when I realized it.
"Nik, what happened to your tattoo?" I asked. She stopped and turned with a disturbing slowness back towards me. That look was in her eyes again, but this time it did not flash and disappear. It made a shiver scuttle up my spine. Her features were still mimicking an expression of friendliness and calm, but her eyes threw off the whole picture.
"I don't know what you mean Dee?" she said softly. Who was this person? This couldn't be my Nikki, my best friend? The girl who had practiced cutting my hair just before picture day when we were six; the girl who introduced me to my first crush, Mr. Rochester, in junior high; the girl who shared every hope, every secret, every joy, and every loss with me. The girl who dragged me to a crummy, creepy little tattoo parlour when she was 16 and had just won emancipation from her abusive, neglectful mother and chose to celebrate this by having a delicate sparrow fleeing its cage inked forever onto her shoulder blade.
When I did not reply she turned and exposed the other shoulder, her left.
"It's right here silly," she said in a sickly sweet voice, the menace in her eyes unabating. I felt my stomach drop, as though it were pulled down by the weight of a huge invisible stone. This was wrong, so wrong that it felt unreal.
When Nikki was fourteen her mother had come home one night smelling so strongly of alcohol that the living room air was thick with the sick stench of it for several hours. Almost immediately she started in on Nikki, beating her furiously until finally my friend was sprawled on the floor, nearly unconscious. Her mother then lit a cigarette and, after a few puffs, extinguished it in Nikki's shoulder with such a flippancy that Nikki would often say she felt as though her mother barely valued her as much more than a dime store ashtray. When she finally got away from that disgusting woman two years later Nikki had the tattoo that symbolized her freedom placed over the scar that cigarette had left behind. It had remained in the cage, while she, the sparrow, flew on to a better life. It had been Nikki's right shoulder.
I didn't understand. Confusion and fear washed over me and before I realized it I said,
"It's supposed to be on your right shoulder Nik, that doesn't make any sense," then I met her eyes once more and saw nothing familiar.
"Who are you?" It slipped out. I couldn't stop it. Everything was so confusing and so wrong, then her smile faded and an ugly grimace twisted her features.
"I wish you hadn't said that," she said, the look in her eyes wild, more frightening than ever. Just as I had the instinctual thought to run I blinked and missed the hand that shot out. I felt it though, for an instant before the blackness overtook me. I felt it connect with my temple and heard a sharp, pop!

Ten Years of Tamoxifen Better Than 5 for Early-Stage, Estrogen-Receptor-Positive Disease
For women diagnosed with early-stage, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, 10 years of tamoxifen offers more benefits than 5 years.
Femara Offers More Benefits Than Tamoxifen After Breast Cancer Surgery
New results boost evidence that postmenopausal women get more benefits from 5 years of Femara compared to 5 years of tamoxifen after surgery for early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.
Tamoxifen Reduces Recurrence Risk for More Than 10 Years
Research has confirmed that tamoxifen reduces breast cancer recurrence risk during the standard 5 years of treatment and that recurrence risk stays lower during the next 5 years after tamoxifen treatment ends.
Zometa Plus Hormonal Therapy Reduces Recurrence Risk
A study has found that Zometa and hormonal therapy after surgery could reduce the risk of the cancer coming back in premenopausal women diagnosed with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer better than hormonal therapy alone.
Tamoxifen Effectively Lowers Breast Cancer Risk in High-Risk Women Younger Than 55
An analysis of four large studies found that tamoxifen effectively reduces breast cancer risk in women younger than 55 at high risk. This benefit outweighed the costs and potential side effects of treatment.

About Us
I am a Boston-based photographer specializing in weddings and portraits. I get a ridiculous amount of enjoyment from giving people images that they love--whether they are ones that document the emotions and in-between moments on their wedding day or ones that capture them in their element, being themselves or with the people they can't live without.
In terms of my work, I take an unobtrusive, documentary-style approach to shooting. While some photographers focus on capturing how the day looks, I also try my best to capture the feel of the day and the emotions and fleeting moments between people that are often overlooked; after all, these are the images that your family, and its generations to come, will look back on and cherish!

- God Basic ItalianMaryAnnVIPDined on 10/4/2014We were staying at the South Point Resort and ate here on a Saturday evening before going to a show. The service was great at getting you in and out in a timely manner even though they were packed. My Penne Bolognese was very good and my husband had a dish of chicken on white beans and vegetables that was delicious. The Caesar salad was pretty average but the tiramisu quite good. The wine list was not exactly notable, but adequate for the restaurant. Our servers were Glenn and David and were very nice. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return.Special Features:
- Good Choicegr8cookiesVIPDined on 9/30/2014The food and service are good here. The only real disappointment is the dessert menu. If you love chocolate and coffee, you will find many choices on the dessert menu; if you don't like either - there is no dessert here for you.
- Group MeetingBootBarnDined on 9/30/2014I booked Don Vito's for a gathering of 11 employees for a special get together. The table was ready when we arrived and the staff was extremely accomodating.

- Don Vito's - The BestMargDined on 9/6/2014Everytime I go to Las Vegas I eat at Don Vito's. It has yet to let me down with its excellent food and service. We had Johnny and Eddie and both of these waiters were excellent with their service. Johnny especially as he joked with us and made a feel very comfortable. It was my Birthday celebration this year and it could have not been better. The food is amazing at Don Vito's and everyone that I have taken their simply loves it. Do yourself a favor get away from the strip, take a drive to South Point and go to Don Vito's you will not regret it, you like me will be talking about it for years to come and so will your friends. 10/10 Don Vito's and thanks for a great Birthday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Little Slice of HeavenDebinatorDined on 8/30/2014I wanted to treat a friend that is local (Henderson) for springing for a couple of nights at the hotel. She told me she would always go to Don Vito's on special occasions and I thought finally seeing my friend after 8 years was pretty special, so I made a reservation for dinner. Everything, and I mean absolutely everything was perfect. From the appetizers, bread and garlic relish to the main meal and of course, dessert. The relish was amazing and the tiramasu was divine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excelent Relaxing MealYummyDined on 8/29/2014A lovely quiet celebration with good food and the evening did not put us in the poor house. A very enjoyable meal before the show.Special Features:

- Great Local Dining ExperienceTerriRDined on 8/25/2014Don Vito's consistently has great service and great food. Nice atmossphere which is just as good for a romantic dinner as it is for a large group. Servers and staff are all attentive and cater to your needs.Special Features:
- Not so hotVegasgalDined on 8/25/2014Don Vito's has served wonderful meals in the past, so it was double disappointing to have a so-so meal this visit. Lemon mousse had no flavor, fish done perfectly but no flavor in the sauce, shrimp ravioli blah, even side of pasta had watery bland sauce, no garnish. Expresso sauce on the pork loin? BBQ flavor only - no coffee aspect. 3 very tiny scallops in the appetizer - but the lemon butter sauce as good.Special Features:
- Wonderful dinnerjaden11Dined on 8/24/2014We decided to "discover" new places during Restaurant Week. Don Vito's is an Italian restaurant that offers more than just meatballs and sausages. There were three in our party and we each got a different appetizer because they all sounded delicious. And they all were: scallops on the half shell, black pasta shrimp ravioli, and prosciutto-wrapped field greens. Two of us had the branzino (whitefish) and one had the pork chop. Everything was cooked perfectly. Also, the service was impeccable. Johnny was very helpful in suggesting a wine that went perfectly with the fish. He and the other servers throughout the courses were so precise and polite. The menu is on the pricey side, but Don Vito's is absolutely worth every dollar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent RestaurantJackDined on 8/22/2014We've been to Don Vito's many times. Always consistently good! Great menu to choose from and great wine list. Ian is an excellent server!I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a surprise!WcatinLVDined on 8/22/2014We've lived in Henderson for almost 3 years and have enjoyed shows at Southpoint and dinner at several restaurants within the casino. We had never tried Don Vito's but saw that it was on Restaurant week and we were impressed by the menu selection and the cost for dinner. We were both surprised at how great everything was. The service was spot on and the food was wonderful (even the 2nd day with leftovers). We will be back.Special Features:
- DeliciousSuzyHDDined on 8/22/2014Went for Restaurant Week menu which I enjoyed very much. The fish was cooked properly and very tasty. Our scallop appetizer was also good although the scallops were a little small. Our ice cream desert, "The Best". Would definitely recommend Don Vito's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice ambianceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/21/2014This is the second time we dined at Don Vitos. The staff is very nice as is the ambiance. Overall the food was good with the exception of the $36 lobster tail milanaise which was dry and tough. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we did not send it back as it deserved to be. We love caesar salad which, when made properly, includes anchovies. They do not use anchovies and when we inquired about bringing some on the side, we were told there was a $2 upcharge.Special Features:
- LVMOMDined on 8/20/2014My husband and I were very disappointed in the food that we ordered. First of all the server said they had only caesar salad or 3 different types of soup, so we ordered the salad. It was very dry, hardly any dressing on it and even when I asked for extra dressing it did not help the taste. We found out later that we could have ordered a house salad but we were not told that we could substitute. I ordered Rigatoni Vito and the sausages where hard as a rock and the marinara sauce was tasteless. My husband order the Fra Diavalo and was totally disappointed. Tasteless again. We did enjoy the rolls with the garlic and tomato dip. Maybe it was an off night with the chef. We will try again in the near future and hope it will be better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RadtoniDined on 8/16/2014I've been here twice in the last 30 days, the service is excellent. Would highly recommend to friends. Everyone in our party of 8 seemed to enjoy their meals, I know I did!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MM1554Dined on 8/16/2014Good food, great ambiance and fair prices. This was probably my tenth visit to this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dining experience!JJMHDined on 8/16/2014Was the best Italian dinner I have had. Service was exceptional and the evening was delightful!Special Features:
- Not as good as last timeOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/16/2014We were a party of ten.The Osso Buco was stringy and hard to chew.Friends had eggplant parmesan and said it was all bread crumb and little eggplant.I thought the assistant waitress was a little rude. The regular restaurant was very good. Your bread and garlic oil is still the best. Also everyone thought the ten dollar fee to share an entree was a little highI would recommend this to a friend.
- Rona49Dined on 8/16/2014Great ambience. Excellent service and delicious food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening outBillVIPDined on 8/16/2014Don Vito's continues to have great food and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- too bad!! won't be backjazz4jerDined on 8/12/2014My wife and I have been coming to South Point for a long time and we always have dinner at Don Vito's. Last Wednesday 8-13-2014, my wife and I and four of our friends came for dinner. We had reservations and were seated right away. Then we had to wait for a waiter for a long time. The waiter finally came and delivered some rolls and olives in oil. The rolls were so hard we could not eat them. We never saw our waiter again until our meals arrived. The food was not up to par to what we had before . Our friends said their meals were not that good also. I'm sorry to say we will not be back.

- Fine Dining South Point HotelN2tiquesDined on 8/3/2014We have eaten here twice during our stays at South Point Hotel & Casino and each time has been a terrific experience. From the moment you are taken to your table the excellence in service becomes apparent. There are so many great choices on the menu as well as the wine list. A must when staying at this hotel!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingCharVIPDined on 8/2/2014We have been locals for a year now and having been pleased with Silverado and Primarily Prime Rib we were looking forward to our dinner at Don Vitos. The stiffed mushrooms and our entrees, linguini with clams and a chicken dish with olives and artichokes, were at best marginal. The caesar salad was over loaded with cheese and they charged an extra $2 to have a few anchovies placed on top. We see no reason to go back to Don Vitos and now have an appreciation for the mixed reviewes.

Picture 5,300 cyclists launching from Vancouver, to pedal 122 kilometres up the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler, in a few hours. Or, imagine more than 2,500 Ironman athletes cycling and running a total of 222 kilometres on Highway 99, around Whistler and Pemberton (after a 3.8-kilometre swim in Alta Lake). It's easy to do – picturing it, not performing it! Photos and accounts of the grit, grime and guts it takes to do the annual RBC Whistler GranFondo and last year's first-ever Subaru Ironman Canada Whistler tell the story. But have you wondered how the way is cleared for those epic events to happen? How do uber athletes compete free and safe from motor vehicles, spectators get breathtaking views, and diverted motor vehicles maintain their momentum?

Zack Wheeler Rumors
Mets Notes: Wheeler, d'Arnaud, Alderson
Happy birthday to Noah Syndergaard, who turns 22 years old today. Syndergaard likely won't be celebrating with a Major League debut, however, as the right-hander is already close to his innings limit for the year. Here's the latest from the Mets…
- Zack Wheeler doesn't want to be traded, telling Kevin Kernan of the New York Post that "I was part of the rebuilding process and I want to see it through.'' While the Mets would undoubtedly need a huge return to trade the 24-year-old righty, it has been speculated that the Mets could deal from their pitching depth to acquire a top-tier shortstop or outfielder in the offseason.
- Travis d'Arnaud's concussion history has Mets upper management at least exploring a shift from catcher to left field, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News writes. Terry Collins said the issue had been discussed, though not at length or in any serious depth, so if a position switch did happen, it wouldn't be anytime soon.
- A d'Arnaud position switch is also discussed by Metsblog.com's Matthew Cerrone. Beyond just d'Arnaud's health, a move from behind the plate could be inevitable since the Mets are "in LOVE" (capitalization added by Cerrone) with catching prospect Kevin Plawecki. Cerrone isn't sure if d'Arnaud's bat would play quite as well in left as it does at catcher, so he suggests that d'Arnaud could also possibly become a trade candidate this winter.
- That said, Newsday's Marc Carig (via Twitter) hears from a team source that the Mets "have little to no interest in trading d'Arnaud."
- While many of the Mets' younger players have performed quite well this season, the team has underachieved due to David Wright's off-year and GM Sandy Alderson's misses in the free agent hitters' market, John Harper of the New York Daily News opines. Curtis Granderson has only a .688 OPS and is still owed $47MM from 2015-17, while Chris Young has already been released.

New York Notes: Sabathia, A-Rod, Myers
C.C. Sabathia received a stem cell injection in his right knee last week and will be out of action until at least July, Yankees GM Brian Cashman tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Cashman said he has checked in with teams about trade possibilities and while "nothing has materialized," Cashman "will keep an eye out to see if something does." Three-fifths of the Bombers' regular rotation is currently injured, with Ivan Nova out for the season and Michael Pineda on the DL until mid-June at the earliest.
Here's the latest from the Yankees and Mets in this roundup of Big Apple baseball news…
- Alex Rodriguez told advisers last summer that he was considering retirement rather than go through a lengthy battle with Major League Baseball over his record PED suspension, reports Teri Thompson, Bill Madden, Michael O'Keeffe, Christian Red and Nathaniel Vinton of the New York Daily News. A-Rod was convinced to fight his suspension, however, after consulting with Desiree Perez, a New York nightclub manager affiliated with Jay Z and who also played a role in Robinson Cano signing with the Mariners. Rodriguez may have been motivated to listen to Perez in part because, as the article states, he would like to become a player agent, possibly with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency.
- Back when Wil Myers was still a Royals prospect, Kansas City offered him to the Mets for a trade package of Jonathan Niese and Zack Wheeler, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets. Myers, of course, ended up being the centerpiece of the five-player package the Royals sent to the Rays in exchange for James Shields and Wade Davis. It's an interesting what-if to ponder for both the Mets and Royals; Myers would've given the Amazins a cornerstone player in the outfield, but at the cost of two quality young arms. For K.C., Shields was the better win-now move, though he had only two years of team control and Davis has become a relief pitcher. Wheeler is controllable through the 2019 season while Niese's five-year contract has club options that could've extended the deal through 2018.
- Also from Martino, he looks at some trade possibilities for the Yankees and Mets this summer. The Mets looked at LaTroy Hawkins, Fernando Rodney and Grant Balfour over the winter and could explore trading for veteran closer help, plus shortstop could still be a position the Mets are looking to upgrade. As for the Yankees, they could also use shortstop help but acquiring a big name could be awkward given the awkwardness of benching Derek Jeter during his final season. A move for Diamondbacks shortstop Didi Gregorius makes sense for both New York clubs.
- Particularly in the wake of the Sabathia news, the Yankees also need starting pitching. Martino writes that while the Yankees may not have the prospect depth to attract a major trade chip, their financial resources could help them take big contracts off the hands of losing teams. Possible trade candidates in this vein could be the Diamondbacks' Bronson Arroyo or the Blue Jays' Mark Buehrle or R.A. Dickey (if Toronto falls out of the race, that is).
- In an Insider-only piece for ESPN.com, Paul Swydan criticizes both the Mets front office and manager Terry Collins for some transactions and personnel moves that Swydan feels "have left the Mets in an all-too-familiar middling position."

Mets Notes: Wheeler, Syndergaard, Johan, Byrdak
The Mets didn't exactly dazzle fans with their signing of Chris Young but they could be planning to do something a little more exciting in the weeks to come. The Mets are among the clubs that have been connected to Nelson Cruz and they are still said to have interest in Curtis Granderson. If GM Sandy Alderson & Co. want to get in on Cruz, however, it could prove to be costly. The former Rangers outfielder is said to be seeking a four-year, $75MM deal. More out of Queens..
- Andy Martino of the New York Daily News wonders if the Mets are going to make a big splash this winter. Martino hears that the Mets were scared by the two-year, $16MM deal that Marlon Byrd landed. At the same time, the Mets have decided to hold a hard line on trading young pitchers like Zack Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard. It's hard to see how they can land an impact bat without dealing one of their desirable impact arms. Martino adds that there is "gossip" around the Mets about GM Sandy Alderson engaging clubs in talks for three-way deals.
- Agent Chris Leible tells Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (via Twitter) that client Johan Santana is now throwing from 90 feet in Florida and his shoulder feels much better. There's currently no timeline set for the one-time Mets ace to sign.
- More from B-NS, who hears from agent Mike Mosa that Tim Byrdak wants to continue pitching. Byrdak recovered from left shoulder surgery to pitch in eight games for the Mets in September. The 40-year-old has a 4.32 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9 across parts of three seasons with the Mets. MLBTR's TIm Dierkes noted ten days back (via Twitter) that two clubs had asked for medicals on the southpaw.

East Notes: Nationals, Price, Wheeler, Matsuzaka
The Nationals do not plan on making huge changes this offseason, reports Amanda Comak of the Washington Times. They will, of course, hire a new manager to replace the retiring Davey Johnson, and they'll also look for left-handed relief help, perhaps, as Comak suggests, from someone like J.P. Howell or Oliver Perez. Other than that, they're mostly happy with the roster they have. "But I think the team, as far as the core group, is set up pretty good. The core rotation and the core bullpen is set up pretty good," GM Mike Rizzo says. The Nationals could take a shot at someone like David Price of the Rays to improve their rotation, but that doesn't appear likely, given the cost it would take to get him. Here are more notes from the East divisions.
- If the Mets want to contend in the NL East next year, they should think about dealing Zack Wheeler, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News writes. For example, Martino suggests dealing Wheeler to the Rays in deal for Price might make sense if Price is willing to agree to a contract extension. Chris Sale of the White Sox might also be a possibility. Alternatively, Martino suggests the Mets could trade Wheeler for a hitter and then acquire Ervin Santana or Matt Garza as a free agent instead.
- Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka is now represented by Mark Pieper and SFX, Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal writes (on Twitter). Scott Boras was Matsuzaka's previous agent. Matsuzaka posted a 4.42 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 38 2/3 innings for the Mets in 2013.

NL East Links: Howard, Rizzo, Hairston, McCann
Ryan Howard will be out of action for six-to-eight weeks following surgery to repain a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. While Howard wasn't going to be a trade candidate at the deadline (no team would touch that contract), it's possible his absence might convince the Phillies to throw in the towel on the 2013 season and become full-fledged sellers this month. Here's the latest from around the NL East…
- Nationals GM Mike Rizzo discussed his team's acquisition of Scott Hairston with reporters (including MASNsports.com's Dan Kolko) today. Hairston was the Nats' top target for right-handed bench help and the club had been negotiating with the Cubs for a couple of weeks, with an eye towards getting the deal finalized before the Nationals' current series with the Phillies. Rizzo liked that Hairston was contracted through 2014 so he can be an asset to Washington next season as well.
- Rizzo also noted that the Nats could make another move before the trade deadline but it won't be anything major. "You never stop trying to improve your club, but with that said, we feel like we like the club that we have and we're certainly playing better and we'll see where it takes us from here," Rizzo said. "I don't see any type of big splashy moves that are remaining."
- Dave Cameron of Fangraphs likes the Hairston trade, noting that it's the kind of shrewd low-cost move that can pay dividends if Washington ends up in the postseason.
- Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post opines that a trade package of Danny Espinosa, Ross Detwiler, Tyler Moore and Lucas Giolito might be enough for the Nationals to obtain David Price from the Rays. While that's not a bad offer, I think the Rays could score a lot more elite talent if they started shopping their ace lefty.
- Braves catcher Brian McCann finally seems to be fully healthy and has been red-hot over the last two weeks, leading David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to predict that if McCann keeps it up, he'll score a free agent contact close to Yadier Molina's five-year, $75MM deal with the Cardinals. O'Brien notes that this deal will come from an AL team that will eventually transition McCann to a DH role, which is why I'd argue that McCann's eventual contract will fall at least $10-$15MM short of Molina's deal. McCann's bat doesn't carry a $15MM average annual value if it's not coming from the catcher position, plus Molina brought elite defense and a less-checkered injury history into his new contract.
- Zack Wheeler is set to face the Giants on Wednesday, almost two years after he was dealt from San Francisco to the Mets in exchange for Carlos Beltran. ESPN New York's Adam Rubin talks to Wheeler and Giants manager Bruce Bochy about the trade, and Bochy has no regrets since his club was gunning for another World Series title.
- The Rangers would love to acquire Cliff Lee from the Phillies, CBS Sports' Danny Knobler writes, "but at this point the Phillies seem to have most people in baseball convinced that they won't trade Lee (or maybe anyone else)."
- In NL East news from earlier today on MLBTR, we shared some Marlins-related news and also some Mets items as part of a collection of New York Notes.

Mets To Promote Zack Wheeler
Zack Wheeler was in uniform, wearing No. 45, as he addressed the media today to discuss his upcoming Major League debut. The Mets have announced that the 23-year-old Wheeler will make his debut in the second game of tomorrow's doubleheader.
ESPN's Adam Rubin was among the reporters in attendance as Wheeler discussed his expectations of himself and thoughts on the team:
"I don't think I'm the savior at all. We've got great arms here, and you've got great players. We might not be doing too well right now, but I know the talent of these guys, and hopefully we can turn it around soon."
Wheeler, drafted sixth overall by the Giants in 2009, was acquired in exchange for Carlos Beltran in what could be the best move of Sandy Alderson's tenure as GM of the Mets. Beltran's contract contained a clause that prevented him from being offered arbitration at the end of the season, so Wheeler was pillaged for 44 games of Beltran's services.
Wheeler ranked as the game's No. 11 prospect prior to this season, according to Baseball America. MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo ranked him eighth, and in a recently updated list of Top 25 MLB prospects from ESPN's Keith Law (Insider required), Wheeler placed 15th.
The Georgia native has fared well at Triple-A, though he hasn't exactly dominated opposing hitters. In a combined 101 2/3 innings dating back to 2012, Wheeler has a 3.72 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9. Despite the somewhat pedestrian ERA, Law writes that Wheeler has top-of-the-rotation stuff, and his peers at BA and MLB.com agree.
When he is officially promoted tomorrow, Wheeler's service clock will start, meaning he would accumulate 104 days of service time over the course of the season if he sticks on the MLB roster. Much like another top prospect who is getting the call on Tuesday — Tampa Bay's Wil Myers — Wheeler seems likely to fall just shy of the projected Super Two cutoff. If that does indeed prove to be the case, he will qualify for arbitration just three times instead of four prior to being a free agent at the end of the 2019 season.

Top Prospect Rumors: Zack Wheeler, Gerrit Cole
With the approximate Super Two cutoff approaching, teams figure to be less hesitant about promoting their top prospects in the near future. Here's the latest on a pair who could be making their debuts sooner rather than later…
- The Mets are targeting next Friday (June 14) for Zack Wheeler's MLB debut, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. Wheeler is scheduled to make what is likely to be his final Triple-A start tonight against Tacoma. The date isn't set in stone, Rubin notes, but is a tentative goal.
- Former No. 1 overall pick and Pirates top prospect Gerrit Cole could make his first big league start as soon as Tuesday (June 11), writes MLB.com's Tom Singer. Wandy Rodriguez will be unable to make that start after exiting his previous outing with an injury, and manager Clint Hurdle said that spot was open as of right now. The Buccos have two established starters on the mend, but neither James McDonald or Charlie Morton will be prepared to make that start.
- Michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette takes the issue a step further and says that Cole will "very likely" make his MLB debut on Tuesday (Twitter link).

Quick Hits: Rivera, Wheeler, Braves
A number of agents told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that they expect teams to spend more in the 2013-14 offseason than they did this past winter. "Some clubs held off spending in advance of their new national TV money last winter, knowing that payments would not start until April 2014," writes Rosenthal. Here's more from around the league…
- ESPN's Buster Olney writes that Mariano Rivera will not reconsider retiring under any circumstances (ESPN Insider required). "I don't care if I get 100 saves," Rivera told Olney. "I don't care if they offer me $50 million. That's it." Rivera picked up his 20th save tonight and has stated on multiple occasions that this will be his final season.
- Mets assistant GM John Ricco told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that Zack Wheeler's Major League debut isn't far off. Ricco said the front office met following Wheeler's strong outing on Saturday and discussed several possible dates. When pressed by Ackert, he wouldn't rule out Wheeler arriving within two weeks.
- Braves GM Frank Wren told Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio that he will be on the lookout for bullpen help between now and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline (Twitter link).
- Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal tweets that Jay-Z and other Roc Nation Sports executives met with the MLB Players Association today in New York.

NL Notes: Wheeler, Mets, Lincecum, Puig
The Mets are trying to find the right spot for top prospect Zack Wheeler (#7 by MLB.com, #11 by Baseball America, and #13 by ESPN's Keith Law - Insider subscription required and recommended), to make his MLB debut and are carefully monitoring the Super Two arbitration cutoff, which they believe will come after June 8, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post. Puma writes the Mets are sensitive to putting Wheeler in an optimum position to succeed in his debut with a strong preference for that to come in the series with the Cubs on June 14-16, instead of against the NL Central leading Cardinals in the previous series. The Mets front office is also wary of Wheeler, a native of Dallas, GA, making his debut against the Braves in Atlanta because of the belief the right-hander will have enough jitters pitching in the majors for the first time and won't need the added pressure of pitching in front of a large contingent from his hometown. Manager Terry Collins, meanwhile, isn't concerning himself with rumors of Wheeler's call up. "I've got enough on my plate right now," Collins told reporters including Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. "I can't keep track of everybody in the organization all the time. Certainly, I know how he pitched. We all keep saying, 'He's on the way, he's on the way, he's on the way,' but he'll pitch his way here. When that time is, I have no idea." In other news coming from the National League:
- The Mets, in the wake of being swept by the Marlins (owners of the worst record in baseball), need to contemplate whether they want to be 100-loss team with prospects gaining experience or vets annoying fans, opines ESPNNewYork's Adam Rubin on Twitter.
- Tim Lincecum, ranked seventh on MLBTR's 2014 Free Agent Power Rankings, told Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com he is committed to being a starting pitcher but is open to the idea of becoming a closer. "I'm always open. It's just, right now I don't want to be open to it," Lincecum said. "I'm sure if my career takes that turn, I'm definitely open to changes, especially if it's beneficial to the team I'm playing for." Baggarly noted Lincecum chose his words carefully when he said "the team I'm playing for." A club source told Baggarly the Giants would turn Lincecum into a late-inning reliever "in a heartbeat," if they had another starting pitcher in the system ready to take his place in the rotation.
- The Dodgers are awaiting an update on Carl Crawford's left hamstring injury before deciding whether to bring up top prospect Yasiel Puig (#47 by Baseball America and #70 by MLB.com); but, it would be an upset if the outfielder isn't playing for them tomorrow, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter links). Shaikin also noted on Twitter that Puig, owner of a .313/.383/.599 slash line this season, was not in the lineup for Double-A Chattanooga for the second consecutive game.

Mets Notes: Hughes, Wheeler
The Yankees' Phil Hughes could be a possible free-agent fit for the Mets this winter, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo tweets. Hughes' fly-ball tendencies would make homer-suppressing Citi Field a good ballpark for him, and the Mets will have plenty of money available, DiComo argues. Hughes has a 5.51 ERA so far this year, with 8.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9. Here are more notes from the Mets.
- Mets GM Sandy Alderson says he "wouldn't say there's a timetable" for the promotion of Zack Wheeler, Fred Kerber of the New York Post reports. But it sounds like it won't be long. "I would say that if he continues to pitch well, he'd be here sometime in the near future," says Alderson. Wheeler struggled Monday for Triple-A Las Vegas against Salt Lake, allowing five runs, three earned, and two home runs in four innings while striking out four and walking three. For the season, Wheeler has a 4.13 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 while playing in the tough pitching environment of Las Vegas.
- Wheeler feels like he's "just waiting on time," the Wall Street Journal's Brian Costa writes. "I think I'm ready, but it is really not my decision." Costa notes that Wheeler's service time clock could play a role in the Mets' decision, citing potential concerns that he could become a Super Two player and become eligible for arbitration after the 2015 season. Costa also discusses comparisons between Wheeler and Matt Harvey, and notes that it will be very difficult for Wheeler's start in the majors to equal Harvey's even if Wheeler pitches brilliantly. Harvey's phenomenal start to his career has lifted him above Wheeler in status, even though Wheeler has pitched perfectly well in his own right.
