Good morning.A tragic case of extreme neglect out of Saratoga County will send a mother to state prison. A judge has sentenced thirty-three-year-old Samantha Dylewski to serve up to four years behind bars for her role in the death of her three-year-old daughter. Prosecutors proved Dylewski and her husband kept the toddler in deplorable conditions inside a Corinth home before her death. As part of her strict sentence, Dylewski is legally barred from having any contact with her four surviving children until the year twenty-thirty-eight. Her husband is scheduled to face his own sentencing later this month.In Albany, state police have identified a Schenectady man who was killed in a violent, wrong-way crash over the weekend. Authorities say twenty-year-old Safwan Mohammed was traveling west on Interstate Ninety when his vehicle was struck head-on. The driver of the oncoming vehicle, twenty-eight-year-old Ibra Ndiaye, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and now faces major charges, including vehicular homicide, manslaughter, and driving while intoxicated.Turning to state infrastructure, the Erie Canal is officially back open to boaters in Waterford following a multi-day shutdown. The canal was forced to close late last week after a serious mechanical failure crippled the historic Waterford Flight, a massive system built in nineteen-oh-five that elevates boats one-hundred-sixty-nine feet to connect the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. The State Canal Corporation notes that last year alone, roughly sixty-four-thousand boaters relied on the canal system.Meanwhile, motorists right here in the Southern Tier and across the Empire State continue to see a welcome downward trend at the gas pumps. According to Triple A, the average cost for a gallon of regular fuel in western New York has dropped to four-dollars and fifty cents. While that is a slight dip over the last month, the sting is still being felt on regional wallets—drivers are currently paying about one-dollar and forty cents more per gallon than they were at this exact time last year.Down in the Hudson Valley, a massive joint investigation is underway into a double shooting that disrupted a local youth sporting event. Law enforcement officials have announced the arrests of four men following a deadly shooting at a soccer game at Stitzel Field in Poughkeepsie. Forty-six-year-old Carl Chambers lost his life in the chaotic gunfire, and investigators believe at least three different weapons were discharged during the incident.And sports fans across the state are bracing for a high-stakes night tomorrow at Madison Square Garden. Despite a brilliant thirty-two-point performance from Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks fell to the San Antonio Spurs one-hundred-fifteen to one-hundred-eleven in Game Three of the N-B-A Finals.
