a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the o er. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply and the interest rate will revert
to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account. As of 12/10/2018, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.03%

of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its a liates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this o er. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is
compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a

organized St. Baldrick, along with his
family, since its start in 2007.

“My younger brother, Garrett, is a

started doing this for him back in high

a 50/50 drawing.

such issues because such resolutions do have an impact.
“Although it’s a resolution and you might feel like it won’t go

anywhere, I think as lawmakers it behooves us to stand up for those
who can’t speak,” she said. “It’s important to stand up and say that
something’s wrong when it’s wrong.”

e resolution reads, in part:
“Whereas, the law contains a series of measures permitting abortions
into the third trimester of pregnancy to be performed by health care pro-
viders who are not board certi ed physicians and expanding reproductive
procedures for women, and,
“Whereas, the law creates a new article 25A of the Public Health law
and eliminates Public Health Law 4164, which requires a board-certi-
ed physician to provide medical care for any live birth that is the result
of an abortion where the baby is left to die unless the mother decides oth-
erwise, and
“Whereas, the law permits abortion at any time during pregnancy if
the healthcare provider deems it necessary for the life, health and well-
being of the mother,
“ erefore, be it resolved, that the Town Board urge all members of the
New York State Legislature to introduce and pass legislation to rescind
this law and protect the life of the unborn while also caring for the health
and well-being of the mother...”

don’t know. at will require multiple agencies like the city’s water
board, so it’s hard to tell. But we are now comfortably talking to
the DEP on the level we need to. I was able to place a few calls and
fortunately found the right person to talk to.”

At the Feb. 27 meeting, Lupinacci also gave kudos to the county
for its role in bringing the DEP to the negotiating table.

“We need to thank the county for its involvement, and we need
to thank some taxpayers who have some connections with the
DEP,” he said. “ is is a team e ort. You could almost say it takes
a village. But we should de nitely thank the county for continuing
to talk. e Town Board is staying active on this.”

My name is Debbie Kilmer and I am a Warrior. This title makes me proud.

I survived a rare and aggressive cancer called Cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct
cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma was determined to shake me and break me five years
ago, but I laughed in its ugly face and now it’s time to celebrate this milestone and
raise some funds for Cholangiocarcinoma research. This rare and deadly cancer does
not get the research support it deserves and I would like to help to change that!

I have been planning this celebration/fundraiser for almost five years now. I wasn’t
sure, to be honest, if I would be here in five years, with the sobering statistics of this
awful cancer, but here I am, ready to celebrate and raise funds to find a cure for
Cholangiocarcinoma.

Thank you all for your love and support! I cannot wait to celebrate with you!
