Student surprised by dad’s homecoming

Soldier Chris Larkin nished nine-month tour in Middle East

BY BRIAN MARSCHHAUSER PHOTO: BRIAN MARSCHHAUSER
EDITOR

Chris Larkin had waited long enough.
After nishing a nine-month tour in the Middle East and
spending a few more days in Texas, the specialist with the
New York National Guard just wanted to see his son, Sean,
who was in a di erent grade the last time they were together.
So, after deplaning in New York City on ursday, Jan. 31,
the elder Larkin wasted no time, heading straight toward Ben
Franklin Elementary School, where he planned to surprise his
son, a second-grade student.
He had been planning this surprise visit with school teach-
ers and administrators for a while, but his ursday arrival
even caught them o guard. Larkin was expected home the
following week, but his command pulled strings and expe-
dited his return.
Before boarding a plane that morning in Fort Hood, Larkin
shared his early arrival plans with school o cials, who made
last-minute preparations to ensure that Sean was surprised.
Larkin arrived at the school around 2:05 p.m. when his son
was in the library with the rest of his class.

e plan worked.
Sean was caught o guard, leaping into his father’s arms
and embracing him for nearly a minute before introducing
him to his classmates.
“I’m very surprised,” Sean said afterward. “I saw someone
over there taking a picture and then I’m like, ‘Why are people
having cameras taking pictures?’ And then all of a sudden, I’m
like, ‘Is this a dream or is this real life?’”

e students peppered Chris Larkin with questions, turn-
ing his surprise appearance into an impromptu show and tell.

by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional interest rate bonus on these accounts.3

1. To qualify for this o er, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this o er between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. This o er is subject to change at any time, without notice. This o er is available only to Platinum
Savings customers in the following states: CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its a liates) to the
enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this o er. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this o er is 2.10%. 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 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 interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, 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. O er not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is e ective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum
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
term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in e ect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has noti ed you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves
the right to modify or discontinue the o er at any time without notice. O er cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit o er. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this o er only and cannot be transferred to another
account to qualify for any other consumer deposit o er. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit o er requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the o er requirements
and quali cations. O er cannot be 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 discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s
then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking
account will be converted to another checking product or closed.

tive and have so much experience to share with us.”

Along with Robinson, other Huskers who placed and earned trips to
this weekend’s Section 1 Division 1 Tournament are Andrew Finateri
(120, third), Marc Pisani (126, fourth), Dean Patierno (138, second)
and Christian Sinagra (182, second).

“Placing ve of our wrestlers into sectionals is a big deal for the team
because our hard work from the season has paid o ,” Robinson said.
“Because we are friends o the mat and have a family-like bond from
football and other sports we play together, we are successful, along with
our coaches’ constant encouragement and help during the season.”

Lakeland/Panas competed in the divisionals at Arlington on Feb. 2,
with Rebel senior captain Ryan Ocasio (120) placing second.

“Placing second shows that I still have a lot of work to do and even
though the last takedown was questionable, I cannot let the match get
into the ref ’s hands,” Ocasio.

Justin Rosario (120, third), Gio Russo (113, fourth) and Pat Hickey
(285, fourth) also placed for the Rebels to earn their spots at the sec-
tional tournament.

“Placing fourth as a team shows how we have progressed,” Ocasio
said. “ e team keeps getting better and better.”

Dessert becomes heart-healthy

During the month of February, when Americans celebrate National Heart Month, an emphasis is placed on being heart-healthy. But February is also the month
to celebrate Valentine’s Day, which is known for its decadent desserts and indulgent meals, among other treats. What is a person who wants to stay healthy but enjoy
something special on Valentine’s Day to do?

Health-conscious people don’t need to sacri ce sweets this February. With a few substitute
ingredients, even something as rich as chocolate pudding can be made healthier. Try this recipe
for “Chocolate Avocado-Chia Pudding” from the American Heart Association, which gets a
healthy boost from creamy avocado and chia seeds.

Chocolate Avocado-Chia Pudding

Makes 6 1/2-cup servings

Ingredients

2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

3 Medjool dates, pitted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)

Directions PHOTO: METRO
CREATIVE CONNECTION
In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients except the almonds until smooth.
Transfer the pudding to serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the
chia seeds to thicken.
Just before serving, sprinkle with the almonds, if desired.
