Return to Story IndexHUNTING IMPACT
AS EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY REPORTS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE, THAT PUMPS MONEY INTO VIRTUALLY EVERY CORNER OF THE STATE. You see this all the time...hunters and anglers out in the woods enjoying nature, but what you might not realize is just how much the state depends on the money they spend before they head outdoors. :33Justin Gaull/WV SBC says, "It's both hunting and fishing and it's a year round economic benefit to the state, particularly some of the smaller businesses around WV that people are coming in out of state to go hunting and fishing. Fishing is more year round than hunting, which is mostly the fall season." Fishing is big..in fact, nearly 400 thousand people fish in the state, spending a whopping 6 point 9 million days collectively out on the water every year. Hunting is big, too with more than a quarter million hunters in West Virginia every year. In fact, deer season is the Black Friday of small businesses around the state. 1:07"It's their bread and butter around that time. A lot of smaller businesses around WV really depend on fall hunting season for a big boost in their yearly income. 1:38Lodging entities and guide outfitters, it covers nearly 16,000 employers throughout the state and over 95% of WV businesses are small businesses." But there's nothing small about the total economic impact of hunting and fishing in West Virginia. Recent studies show hunting and fishing bring in around 750 million dollars a year in economic benefits to the state and interest continues to grow. 2:22"WV has the 7th highest participation rate of any state-all the other states are west of the Mississippi River, so that's quite an accomplishment." And when you consider about 25 % of the people hunting here are from out of state, you can see just how important it is to both protect our fish and wildlife populations while making it enjoyable for folks to do a little hunting and fishing. For West Virginia Widllife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF HUNTING AND FISHING, GO TO OUR WEBSITE OR EMAIL PATRICK DIRECTLY.

Return to Story IndexTV DEALS
IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST T-V EVENTS OF THE YEAR. AND ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS, THE LEADUP TO THE SUPER BOWL IS ONE OF THE BEST TIMES TO BE IN THE MARKET FOR A T-V. With the Super Bowl it's a huge promotional opportunity for manufacturers, so we expect to see some deals maybe not quite to the level we saw for Black Friday, but still some great deals. BUT DON'T BE BLINDED BY A GREAT PRICE. ROB GREGORY OF BEST BUY SAYS CUSTOMERS SHOULD ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE THEY GET IN THE STORE. What's the size that they can accomodate, where the TV is going. That will actually give us a little insight as to what TV I will direct you to. They should also know what they're looking for as far as do I want to have that 3D capability. IN ADDITION TO 3-D, HE ALSO ASKS CONSUMERS IF THEY WANT TO STREAM MOVIES AND MUSIC FROM THE WEB -- AND ABOUT OTHER SOURCES. If you're not hooking your TV up to a high-def source, you're not going to get the same picture quality we have here in the store. AND FOR PEACE OF MIND ON PRICING, ASK IF YOUR RETAILER OFFERS A PRICE GUARANTEE. If you're one of those people who drives yourself crazy, buy the tv, and the constantly monitors pricing, it may make you feel a little bit better to know that you're protected for at least 30 days or more. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

BUT ADDED SUGAR GIVES US EMPTY CALORIES, AND TOO MUCH NOT ONLY INCREASES OUR WAISTLINES, BUT CAN HARM OUR HEALTH. --REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS -- DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SUGAR YOU EAT IN A DAY? ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE IN THE JOURNAL "NATURE," THE AVERAGE AMERICAN EATS MORE THAN 450 CALORIES OF ADDED SUGAR DAILY. THAT'S SUGAR PUT IN PROCESSED FOOD TO MAKE IT TASTE BETTER, AND SUGAR YOU ADD YOURSELF. THE RESEARCHERS SAY TOO MUCH ADDED SUGAR IS SIMPLY NOT GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH. IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK FOR HEART DISEASE, STROKE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES. "It also ends up causing changes in your arteries, causing them to be less flexible, less stretchy and that can contribute to cardiovascular disease." ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, WOMEN SHOULD LIMIT THEIR DAILY ADDED SUGAR INTAKE TO NO MORE THAN 100 CALORIES OR ABOUT 6 TEASPOONS OF SUGAR. MEN SHOULD HAVE NO MORE THAN 150 CALORIES OR 9 TEASPOONS A DAY. JUST ONE 12 OUNCE CAN OF SODA, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS ABOUT 130 CALORIES. DIETARY EXPERTS SUGGEST PEOPLE READ THE LABELS OF THE FOOD THEY EAT AND SUBSTITUTE FRUITS OR VEGGIES FOR PROCESSED FOODS HIGH IN SUGAR. THE AUTHORS SUGGEST MORE DRASTIC MEASURES MAY BE NEEDED.. SUCH AS: ADDING TAXES TO PROCESSED FOODS OR DRINKS THAT CONTAIN ADDED SUGARS. ASKING THE FDA TO TAKE FRUCTOSE OFF THE LIST OF FOODS GENERALLY REGARDED AS SAFE AND LIMITING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUGARY PRODUCTS IN AND AROUND SCHOOLS.

Return to Story IndexBIG MIRACLE
AND THE STAR STUDDED CAST HAS LEARNED LOTS OF WHALE TRIVIA FROM FILMING THE FLICK IN ICY ALASKA. THE MOVIE "BIG MIRACLE" IS BASED ON THE 1988 TRUE STORY, THAT MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES, FOLLOWING RESCUE EFFORTS TO FREE 3 GRAY WHALES TRAPPED UNDER THE ALASKAN ICE. STAR DREW BARRYMORE WAS INSPIRED BY THE GLOBAL SCALE OF THE STORY... BARRYMORE says: i just thought how big this story became, how much of a news media coverage on magazine, kids glued to tv wondering whats going to happen, the fact that it did reach the national guard, the white house and it was the story right before the election going on i wondered how i didn't know about it. WORKING OUTSIDE, IN THE COLD WAS A CHALLENGE FOR THE CAST, BUT DIDN'T COMPARE TO DERMOT MULROONEY'S OTHER FILM, "THE GREY". MULRONEY says: 35 degrees below zero is the lowest we encountered on that, on this big miracle while we were shooting in in anchorage city it was 5 or 10 degrees. this production spend over $10,000 on handwarmers that you slip in your gloves, ted used $5000 for himself, i would tape them all over my body. WE GOT MIXED RESULTS, WHEN WE ASKED CASTMEMBERS FOR THEIR BEST PIECE OF WHALE TRIVIA... MULRONEY says: the sperm whale, the moby dick type of whale, they are the loudest creature on earth, they make up to 290 decibles, that you can hear 40 miles. KRASINSKI says: the reason why whale migrate down south cause it's warmer waters until they get fat enough to move back up north, if they had babies up north, they'd die from the cold. DANSON says: the heart of a blue whale is the size of a volkswagan beetle, it is that big, theoritically if you could, one wouldn't want to do this, a small man could swim in the arteries of a blue whale.
