Offers available in AR, CT, DC, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, NJ, NY, SC, TX and VA. Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional bonus interest rate on these accounts.3

1. To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 03/25/2019 and 05/31/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in
the following states: AR, CT, DC, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, NJ, NY, SC, TX 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 affiliates) to the enrolled savings account
and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this offer. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer 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 offer. 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 02/15/2019, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in AR, CT, DC, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, NJ, NY, SC, TX and VA with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected

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

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.

Trout season kicks
off with stocking
of local lakes

On Tuesday, March 26, some dozen volunteers gathered outside the Brewster rehouse, PHOTO: TABITHA PEARSON MARSHALL
their mission, on behalf of the Department of Environmental Conservation, was to disperse
4,300 sh into reservoirs located throughout the area. Led by George Knoechel, of Lake Somers High School PTSA - Class of 2020
Carmel, the crew began their three-hour trip starting after noon, driving alongside a DEC Proudly Serves Up

Stop one was East Branch Reservoir, where volunteers quickly set to work loading buckets ACARSHOWE,XFTOROADVATGRAUNCZKA&SHOPPING
from the DEC truck and hauling them to the water. Croton River received the rst intake, April28,2019
followed by more two stops a short time later when river temperature was also measured. A
stop in Somers pumped sh from the truck into the river. Volunteers then went up to Route
22’s bridge over Croton, where the DEC truck ejected trout into the water below. Each stop
on East Branch received 320 8- to 9-inch rainbow trout and 60 15- to 17-inch brown trout.
Knoechel next led the team to a great pond in Southeast, on the edge of a neighborhood
cul-de-sac. Under its oak trees, volunteers took turns bringing trout to the pond. Finally, the
crew went to the outlet of Boyd Corners reservoir near the Clearpool summer camp, and after
more bucket dumping had concluded the day’s work.
Sanitation was practiced by the team—dropped buckets were sprayed and washed, the sh
hatchery’s trout loader wore gloves to prevent contamination, and dumpers took buckets by
the handle in order to keep sh free from human germs.
Another stocking was performed on ursday, March 28, when Croton River received four
in uxes of 150 rainbow trout and 310 brown trout, followed by 400 rainbow and 300 brown
below the diverting reservoir. West Branch received 580 brown trout at the outlet to Croton
Falls Reservoir; arriving at the reservoir site, a nal 2,220 brown trout were added to the water
system, for a day’s total of 5,340 sh.
Knoechel expected more than 9,600 sh to be added to the waterbodies during the two
March trips, and roughly 30,000 by the DEC throughout the entire season.
Fishing season began April 1 for recreationalists with a city DEP permit. Citizens 18 or
older who need one can email https://tinyurl.com/y2zh9hlt to instantly apply for a watershed
access permit. Residents without an email may request a water access permit application at the
town clerk’s o ce and mail it to Access Permits, 71 Smith Ave., Kingston, NY, 12401. Expect
around two weeks for processing.

Inspired by a therapy dog, teens make blankets for the Dialysis Clinic in Yorktown

Mike Jones and his therapy dog Sunny Boy make frequent trips to the Dialysis Clinic in Yorktown Heights to provide comfort for patients going through treatment. Taking
the lead from the pup, teens at the Somers Library recently made eece blankets for the patients and adorned them with encouraging phrases. Sunny Boy was at the library to
oversee the work and helped the teens present the blankets to representatives from the Yorktown Dialysis Center.
