Offers available in CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, and PA. Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional bonus interest rate on these accounts.3

1. To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available
only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000
throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage
Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the
$25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, FL, NJ and NY with an
account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY); and for a Platinum Savings account in DE and PA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.05% (0.05% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.10% (0.10% APY). Each tier shown reflects
the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period,
then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to
change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2. Available in-branch only; you must speak with a banker to request the special rate. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened
between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage
and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. 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 penalty 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 term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise.
1., 2. Due to the new money requirement, new accounts may only be opened at your local branch and you must speak to a banker to request the special rate offers for both new and existing accounts. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without
notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new
money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells
Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying
linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and

URSDAY, JULY 11, 2019 PAGE 15
Mahopac marked the occasion of America’s birthday with events both on land and on sea...

or lake. On Thursday morning, Mahopac VFW Post No. 5491 led a parade of boats, festooned
in red, white and blue bunting and flags, across Lake Mahopac with patriotic music blaring.
The parade kicked off at the VFW post on East Lake Boulevard with a three-gun salute by
the post’s color guard before the boats headed out. Later that evening, the Recreation &
Parks Department held a patriotic concert in Red Mills Park featuring the Norm Hathaway Big
Band, along with Colonial soldier re-enactments as they fired off a cannon at the climax of
the “1812 Overture.”

HBXinc.com 914.372.7155 e students seemed excited about it as well, watching intently as
Reinke spoke about the sport.

“I want to join a crew team,” said eighth-grader Madison McCabe,
“mostly because my friend is doing it up in Arlington, so I thought I
would try it, too. She said she loves it and I think it would be fun. May-
be my friend and I would be able to do something together eventually.”

McCabe was there with two of her classmates, who also expressed
enthusiasm for rowing.

“I’m excited to do it because I would like to build up my strength,”
said Emma Morretta. “I’d be excited to be on another team where you
work together with other people.”

Isabell Valle said she liked the idea of rowing because she already
likes being on the water.

“I like being on boats anyway so this is perfect,”she said.“I had heard
of [crew] in di erent towns, so I was curious,” she said.

Miele returns as Mahopac athletic director

BY SKIP PEARLMAN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For some people, retirement just isn’t

an option.

Veteran Mahopac physical education

teacher/baseball coach/athletic director

Frank Miele retired eight years ago. But

he hasn’t been able to stay still.

After retiring from Mahopac, Miele

spent one year as AD at Eastchester,

then did a short stint at Harrison, before

lling in as assistant principal for a few

months at Mahopac.

For the last seven years, Miele has

been the hitting coach for the Western

Connecticut State University baseball

team.

After the recent resignation of

Mahopac AD John Augusta, the district

reached out to Miele, who will serve as

AD for the upcoming school year, with

a plan in place to nd a more permanent

candidate for the role during the school

year.

“For the past ve weeks, I’ve been

totally retired,“ Miele told Mahopac

News earlier this week. “Now, there’s

another challenge. e plan is for me

to be there for the year, and during that

year we hope to nd someone who ts

the school.“

For Miele, Mahopac High School is

home.

A 1967 graduate, he was Manager of

the baseball team for 22 years (winning

Mahopac’s last sectional title in 1997),

assistant football coach for 13 years,

served as athletic director for 10 years, Frank Miele with Mahopac’s last Section 1 championship baseball team, in 1997.
