The man did not give the New York City building to the Lenape Indians

Anthony Van Donck and Jean-Louis Bourgeois had plans for the historic clapboard house on Weehawken Street, but the deal was never finalized.

This cat is now a fat cat.

The millionaire who once vowed to return his historic West Village estate to the Lenape Indians didn’t leave a cent to the tribe when he died last year — but he did give a portion of his $14 million estate, his black cat, Mali.

Jean-Louis Goldwater Bourgeois, who died Dec. 8 at the age of 82, left his cat and $50,000 in cat care to a close friend in Queens, according to court documents.

“I give my black house cat, my money, and/or any other pets that live with me upon my death to my friend, David Schonberger. I also give David Schonberger $50,000 for the care and maintenance of my pets, including payment of veterinary health care insurance premiums.” According to the will of Bourgeois.

Schönberger can not be reached.

But Bourgeois was much less forthright when it came to the Weehawken Street property that made it headlines in 2016, when it announced it wanted to give the 1834 clapboard building to the original inhabitants of Manhattan—the Lenape tribe.

The Weehawken Street home is believed to be worth at least $5 million nowBECKY NY/AKM-GSI

Bourgeois was “horrified” that the island had been “taken over by whites,” he declared at the time, describing the structure as “a souvenir of the Grand Theft.”

He reached out to Anthony Van Donk, former chief of the Ramabuge Indians, who are part of the Lenape Nation.

But by 2019, they had a falling out, and the deal never went…

Shepaug Valley enjoyed magical run to CIAC final at Mohegan Sun

Every high school basketball player hears his or her coach preach a hallowed maxim: “You’ve got to play the whole game.”

Shepaug Valley High School’s Mohegan Sun arrival last weekend for the Division V Championship game heralded a broader view for Head Coach Matt Lefevre and Assistants Ted Bremer and Alan Stinson: “You’ve got to coach the whole season.”

Make that an entire lifetime for Coach Lefevre, who led Shepaug to a state final for the first time since 1983, falling to Windsor Locks 69-58 Saturday.

“I was a 5-foot-7 point guard at East Haven High School when it won a Class L state championship in 1980, then played for Clark University when it went to a Division III National Championship game,” he says.

“My distinction was playing with great players under great coaches who knew how to develop players,” he says.

Their lessons, plus 865 games coaching AAU teams, six years as assistant coach at Northwestern High School and 10 as Shepaug’s head coach brought Lefevre to this season with maxims of his own:

“We’re going to play the players who earn it on the court every day, regardless of age.”

And:

“Winning as a team better be enough reward; if it isn’t, you need to find something else to do.”

The first maxim produced seniors Phil Ostrosky and Kaelan McDonald, junior Liam Pacific, sophomore Reed Woerner and freshman James Kersten in the starting lineup, with freshman Drew Konik the first man off the bench.

Early in the season, at 1-3, the second maxim didn’t yet apply.

“We looked pretty good in pre-season scrimmages against tough teams,” Lefevre said. “With four other seniors, we went eight or nine deep in our lineup so we had depth and flexibility, but we didn’t have a…

I’m on McAllister and Fillmore on another Tuesday.
It’s 8:30 p.m. and clocks have not fallen back yet
when a tote bag full of produce collapses. Apples,
pears, onions, and mangoes rush like a surge of flood
water to the curb. The bike is badly mangled
as a crumpled newspaper tossed to the back of a bus seat.
I stand motionless. “What happened?” a woman asks.
To my left, a concerned cluster of berries jaywalks
to the site of a supernova. I have never seen one
this close before. I walk closer to see her myself.
As the sidewalk begins to pant, wet asphalt spits
blood. The blood streams from the woman’s mouth.
Shock travels through my eyes down to my feet.
An old fuchsia with silver curls has fallen.
I get on one knee, then caress her cheek
with my bare hand as if my soothing could extinguish
the fire below her skin as if I could dim
the vivid lights. I bow in reverence. I am powerless.
The final count of her breath is seen light-years away.
With each exhale, I whisper,
You’re okay.
You’re okay.
You’re okay.
I watch her lips gasp for whatever’s left,
for whatever stardust is left that makes us sentient.
Fish feel pain too. Her jacket is a crimson pond.
With my voice crackling in the fire, I breathe into her,
You’re gonna be alright.
I heard somewhere

Valley Girls’ Hoops Falls Valiantly to East Hampton in Class M State Final

Even though it held a small roster of 10 individuals this winter and was appearing in its first state championship game of the 21st century against a league rival that had only dropped one contest all season, the Valley Regional girls’ basketball team–much like it has all season–showed no intimidation or trepidation in emerging as a well-respected runner-up.

The Warriors were the No. 3 seed in the Class M State Tournament and earned three victories over Haddam-Killingworth, Granby, and Cromwell to send the team to the program’s first state final since Valley Regional’s last title in 1999.

There, under the bright lights of Mohegan Sun Arena on March 18, the Warriors vied for the top spot with fellow Shoreline Conference school and top-seeded East Hampton. Despite a heroic and hard-fought effort by Valley against the Shoreline Conference-champion Bellringers, the Warriors came up just short in a tight 31-29 defeat.

Valley, who finished its season an impressive 21-5 overall, overcame an early six-point deficit to East Hampton (finishing 26-1) in the first quarter and battled back to lead by one with just under three and a half minutes to go before the Bellringers tabbed five of the game’s final seven…

Man pledged to give NYC building back to Lenape Indians, instead left $50K to cat

This kitty is now a fat cat.

A millionaire who once pledged to give his historic West Village property back to the Lenape Indians didn’t leave a dime to the tribe when he died last year — but did give part of his $14 million estate his black house cat, Mali.

Jean-Louis Goldwater Bourgeois, who died Dec. 8 at age 82, bequeathed his cat and $50,000 for the feline’s care to a close friend in Queens, according to court documents.

“I give my black house cat, Mali, and/or any other pets living with me at my death to my friend, David Schonberger. I also give David Schonberger the sum of $50,000 for the care and maintenance of my pets, including the payment of premiums for veterinary health care insurance,” according to Bourgeois’ will.

Schonberger could not be reached.

But Bourgeois was far less explicit when it came to the Weehawken Street property which landed him in the headlines in 2016, when he declared he wanted to give the 1834 clapboard building to the original residents of Manhattan — the Lenape tribe.

weekhawken street homeThe Weehawken Street home is thought to be worth at least $5 million nowBECKY NY/AKM-GSI

Bourgeois was “appalled” that the island had been “taken by whites,” he declared at the time, calling the structure a “trophy from major theft.”

He connected with Anthony Van Dunk, a former chief of the Ramapough Indians, who are part of the Lenape Nation.

But by 2019 they had a falling out, and the deal was never consummated.

Van Dunk said he had no ill will toward Bourgeois, whom he considered a friend, and praised the bequest to the four-legged friend.

Fake photos of Trump’s arrest spread across social media. They were AI generated.

Images of former president Donald Trump in handcuffs and flanked by police officers went viral across social media Monday and Tuesday. But they aren’t real.

As news consumers wait to see if Trump will be indicted, AI-generated images depicting his arrest are spreading online, raising questions and concerns over media literacy and deepfakes as the tools to create them become more accessible.

Eliot Higgins — the founder of the Netherlands-based investigative journalism group, Bellingcat — took to Twitter to post versions he made on Midjourney, a popular AI image generator. Some of the images are photorealistic, while some feel more like CGI from a video game.

Higgins disclosed that his images were fake, captioning the Twitter thread “Making pictures of Trump getting arrested while waiting for Trump’s arrest.” He and others made the art as a form of parody. Several versions of fake Trump arrest images began widely circulating on social media, initially by their creators.

But along the way, the art was reposted and reshared across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, as if they were “photos” of a major news event, not AI-generated art of a fake occurrence.

How can you tell if a photo is AI generated?

In some cases, social media platforms’ content moderation services are attempting to flag the images of Trump getting arrested as fake. But without a content flag, some of the art can be convincing.

As noted by Wired, even while image generators are getting smarter, they still make mistakes in the smaller details. While the main subject of the image may look legit, the rest might appear to be an afterthought. For instance, Trump’s face looks realistic in most of the fakes, but his body proportions look contorted and almost melted or surreal.

Other hints…
