Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, almost 39, blocking retirement

Marc-Andre Fleury will turn 39 on Nov. 28, and while he showed last season he can still be an effective NHL goaltender, he acknowledged that this year’s Wild training camp might be his last.On the first day of camp Thursday at TRIA Rink, the man who ranks fourth all-time for career NHL games by a goalie said he spent time this summer contemplating retirement when his contract runs out at the end of the season.“I just told myself I would give myself a season, see how it goes, see how I feel physically, mentally, if I still can stop the puck and just make a decision at the end,” he said.Acquired from Chicago at the 2021 trade deadline, Fleury signed a two-year, $7 million contract extension that expires after this season. He has won the Stanley Cup three times, and needs only seven wins to catch Patrick Roy (551) for second all-time — firmly within the grasp of a goalie who was 24-26-4 with a 2.85 goals-against average last season, his 13th in the NHL.“I don’t want to jinx it, t...

Nourish NY receives audit; need for more oversight

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:57:17 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- The Nourish New York program was created during the pandemic as a way to help with the disrupted food chain which is now a permanent program, but a state audit from the Comptroller's Office shows there isn’t enough oversight for Nourish New York. Experts say one in 10 New Yorkers suffer with food insecurity. The program was created to alleviate that issue as well as helping local farmers by connecting them with food banks. "So it provides money for food banks to purchase directly from New York State farmers so they get the freshest produce, they get local milk products that are then distributed to people in need and regional food banks, and in pantries all across the state," explained Steve Ammerman, Director of Communications for the New York Farm Bureau. Ammerman said more than 4000 farms have taken part in the program. State comptroller Tom DiNapoli told Capitol Correspondent, Amal Tlaige, this is a win-win program, but there’s room for improvement.

But she never filed the action, according to an admission she signed last month.“In April 2016, (Lowery-Graber) informed the client that the complaint was filed, that she expected no responsive answers to be filed and that she would move for default,” that admission explains. “This was not true. No complaint had been filed.”“This message began a pattern of communications…where she represented that a complaint had been filed, that her law firm was waiting on...
