No encore: Mountain Jam returns to Bethel in 2023

HUNTER — The Mountain Jam music festival is set to return in the summer of 2023, but it won’t be at the site’s original location at Hunter Mountain.

In a one-sentence update on the Mountain Jam website, festival organizers announced that the event would return to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in 2023.

The festival was founded by Radio Woodstock President Gary Chetkof in conjunction with Gov’t Mule singer/guitarist Warren Haynes in 2005, with the rock event running for 14 consecutive years at Hunter Mountain.

The festival’s last year at

the Hunter resort in 2018 was headlined by alternative country artist Sturgill Simpson, contemporary British rock act alt-J and Hawaiian folk singer Jack Johnson, who closed the festival’s last night of music on June 17.

The festival then moved to Bethel Woods for a four-day event from June 13-16, two months shy of the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival, which was held in August 1969 at the same Bethel site.

That edition of the festival, headlined by country legend Willie Nelson and Gov’t Mule, was supposed to be followed by a return to Bethel Woods in 2020 headlined by the Trey Anastasio Band, but the event was canceled March 25, 2020, See JAM A8

CATSKILL — With the statewide school mask mandate set to end Wednesday, Greene County schools will be making masks optional for students.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the move in a news conference Sunday afternoon.

The change will apply to all K-12 schools and child care centers for children age 2 and up.

Counties and cities will retain the ability to pass their own local mask requirements, something the governor said she expects will happen in a few localities and fully supports.

In a letter to district parents Sunday, Catskill Central School District Superintendent Ronel Cook said the district would make face coverings optional.

“Starting Wednesday, masks will be a personal choice in our schools under most circumstances,” Cook wrote. “With the Governor making this announcement over the weekend comes many questions we are currently working to get answered. We will share additional information on the new guidance and how it will impact our schools as soon as it is available.

We ask parents and guardians to speak with their children about personal choice and respect for each other’s personal decisions.

We will not tolerate any bullying of students or staff based on their decision to either wear a mask or go without.”

Cook said Monday the district is waiting on the state for clarification of mask requirements for extracurricular activities See MASK A8

WASHINGTON — Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger told a conference of conservatives turned off by former President Donald Trump on Sunday he would fight “to take back our political system” after he leaves the House at the end of this term. He hedged later when asked if that meant he was considering a run for president.

Speaking at the end of the two-day Principles First conference at the National Press Club, Kinzinger got several standing ovations, including when he talked about his work with fellow Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

“If we as Republicans would have simply ... taken responsibility, we could have moved on, we could have determined nothing like that would ever happen again in the United States. And instead, we tried to sweep it under the rug. Well, it’s not going to be swept under the rug. The truth is out there and it’s coming,” Kinzinger said.

Targeted by Trump for his vote for impeachment after the attack and censured, with Cheney, by the Republican National Committee earlier this month for serving on the select committee, Kinzinger decided in October not to run for another term this year.

In his speech, Kinzinger praised the bravery of Ukrainians fighting a Russian invasion and contrasted that to grievances that Trump’s wing of the party complains about. Like many other speakers at the conference, he noted several times that Trump had praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin as recently as a few days ago. Kinzinger also argued the former president had abused his supporters’ patriotism by trying to convince them of the lie that the election he lost had been stolen.

“When you have a leader of the free world that stands in front of America and convinces half the country that the system is broken, that your vote doesn’t count, listen, as patriotic Americans, we can understand why some would say that it is time to overthrow the government by

running for president, Kinzinger, who turned 44 on Sunday, replied: “I’m definitely not announcing I’m running for president.”

Trump has strongly hinted he plans to run in 2024, and he and several Republicans who may run if he doesn’t, including Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, spoke in the past few days at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida.

The Principles First conference where Kinzinger spoke was set up as a counterpoint to CPAC, and the insurrection and Trump’s dominance of the party were recurring themes.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified at hearings that led to Trump’s first impeachment for withholding aid to Ukraine, was a featured speaker and also got standing ovations.

So did Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who testified before the Jan. 6 committee, and was given an award for heroism. Former GOP Reps. Barbara Comstock of Virginia and Joe Walsh of Illinois were part of a debate over whether to form a third party on a panel called “Should We Stay or Should We Go?” Two potential 2024

candidates who have begun to break from Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, were not at CPAC. But one of the Principles First programs included Alyssa Farah Griffin, Pence’s former press secretary, interviewing Bill Palatucci, a Christie ally and RNC member who voted against the resolution censuring Cheney and Kinzinger.

“I belong to the Republican National Committee, not the Trump National Committee,” Palatucci said to applause. He said some of his fellow committee members privately told him they agreed with his opposition to the resolution, which said Cheney and Kinzinger were helping Democrats carry out a political vendetta against people who engaged in “legitimate political discourse.” He urged the audience to talk to the committee members form their states and convince them to speak out.

“They know they’re wrong.

They need more courage,” Palatucci said.

force ... Which is why leaders’ words matter so much,” Kinzinger said.

He then said that while he will be out of Congress in a year, “I’m not going anywhere,” and he’s excited he will have more time “to work with all of you to make sure that we take back our political system because we deserve that. Those generations of Americans deserve it. But they’ve been told that there’s no hope, they’re told that there’s no opportunity, they’ve been told that somebody that doesn’t think like you was the enemy.

They’ve been told by a former president that Vladimir Putin is a good guy. I mean, I have no doubt that people feel confused.

This is why leadership is so important at this moment.”

Asked outside the ballroom if he was hinting at a presidential race, he said the super PAC he leads, Country First, has been building support and he wants to “see where that goes.”

“I am excited about continuing the fight for the country. At some point you’ve got to look and say, ‘Is the House the best place to do it?’ I think 12 years in the House is a long time for me. But I don’t intend to give up on the fight for the country,” he said.

MIAMI — Unchecked climate change has already changed Florida permanently and irreversibly — and the world has a limited window to stop it from getting worse, according to a new global report from the world’s top scientists.

“The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.

Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a livable future,” says the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, released on Monday.

The nearly 2,000-page report had a global focus, but Florida was repeatedly used as an example of a place where the impacts of climate change were already being felt, both economically and environmentally.

Those impacts aren’t news to resident of the Sunshine State.

It’s tidal flooding from higher sea levels, even on perfectly sunny days, it’s hotter days and nights, more harmful algal

blooms and mosquito-borne illnesses, stronger and wetter hurricanes and less productive crops, livestock and fisheries.

Financially, studies have repeatedly shown buyers are already selecting homes and buildings that face less flood risk, which has already taken at least a $500 million toll on the Miami-Dade real estate market alone, according to a study cited in the report. This has led to the displacement of poorer communities, usually communities of color, from higher elevation neighborhoods in a process known as climate gentrification.

Adapting to it all is doable, but pricey. Florida has already spent hundreds of millions raising roads, homes and seawalls to defend against the incoming threats, but the report noted that at a certain point, there isn’t enough money or technology to keep everywhere in the world habitable.

The IPCC report doesn’t name a single event or global temperature that would tip the planet into civilization-ending chaos. Instead, it points out that this point has already been reached for some ecosystems

around the world, like coral reefs.

If the planet reached 2 degrees Celsius of global warming, up to 99% of the globe’s coral reefs will be lost, according to research cited in the report. But even under the bestcase scenario, where the world stays under 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming, 95% of coral reefs will be lost.

The world is currently at 1.09 degrees and an IPCC report issued last year suggested we could hit 1.5 degrees by 2040.

In a fiery speech, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the report “an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership.” He railed against fossil fuels, the main source of climate change-causing greenhouse gasses, and urged the world to stop burning them immediately.

“This abdication of leadership is criminal,” he said. “The world’s biggest polluters are guilty of arson on our only home.”

But just because some parts of the world are irreversibly harmed doesn’t mean the planet is beyond saving, the report

said.

A focused, well-financed push to help the world adapt to climate change — as well as an equal push to stop burning fossil fuels as fast as possible — could lessen the horrors for humanity in store with unbridled global warming.

OUR VIEW

Putin raises the ante in Ukraine Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has local officials and Ukrainian communities in Greene and Columbia counties wary about a catalog of possible repercussions.

Nobody, though, could have anticipated Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unprecedented mobilization of nuclear deterrent weapons against NATO and its Western allies over the weekend. This bold and reckless “Code Red” placed the world on alert that Putin may be willing to try anything — including a nuclear war — to achieve his aims.

Our concern over the price of oil is nothing

compared to the terror of a nuclear world war engulfing Europe, the United States and China.

Meanwhile, Russia launched new attacks on Ukraine targeting airfields and fuel facilities. Western leaders are interpreting this as the next stage of the invasion. The U.S. and European Union responded with powerful sanctions intended to further isolate Moscow.

Putin has not disclosed his ultimate objective, but Western experts believe he wants to overthrow Ukraine’s government and replace it with a regime of his own, redrawing the map of Europe and restoring

Moscow’s Cold War-era influence. Adding nuclear deterrence to the mix only reinforces this analysis.

Another warning sign of escalation: To aid Ukraine’s ability to hold out, the U.S. pledged an additional $350 million in military assistance, including anti-tank weapons, body armor and small arms. Germany said it would send missiles and anti-tank weapons.

It is clear that Russia has little or any intention of winding down its invasion in favor of a diplomatic solution. It’s equally clear Putin holds the aces. As bad as this invasion is, Putin’s intimation of nuclear deterrence is worse.

ANOTHER VIEW

I did not vote for Ukraine’s president. His courage has changed my mind and inspired millions.

Anna Myroniuk Special To The Washington Post ·

“Captain Ukraine,” the first “true” president of Ukraine, a hero, a leader. I would have never thought I would see people use these terms to refer to Volodymyr Zelensky.

Back in 2019, I did not vote for him. Like some other Ukrainians, I did not believe Zelensky, a comedian, actor and entertainer with no experience in politics, was suited for the job. His campaign was idealistic but lacked substance. He was often vague and raised concerns about where he stood toward Russia. He had his own powerful backer, the billionaire who owned the TV station that broadcast “Servant of the People,” the show that made Zelensky a star. But he won with overwhelming support.

I was not impressed by his administration. He promised to fight corruption but, as an investigative reporter, I saw how his efforts were selective. He appointed loyalists and friends to powerful posts, and his allies rarely faced consequences when they were snared in scandals. In his first three years in office, he showed a true populist side. He loved to be

loved. He was also very sensitive to media criticism.

But Zelensky showed some promising signs as well. He refused to give in to Putin’s demands to break up Ukraine to sell in parts. He rejected to negotiate peace in Donbas with Russiaappointed leaders and suggested an invitation to the discussion be extended to the natives of war-torn Donbas who relocated to Kyiv.

Russia was not happy.

As a broader conflict with Russia loomed, Zelensky annoyed the public by repeatedly downgrading the threat of an invasion. It appeared as though he was in denial, which gave Ukrainians a reason to lose faith in him.

Many left the country weeks ago out of fear that Ukraine would surrender if Putin invaded. Many wondered whether Zelensky would fight back. I must admit that I left Kyiv for another city nearby a few days ago for this same reason.

But now, many of my colleagues and I are trying to find ways to return to the capital to cover the resistance there. Zelensky’s brave response has made me reconsider. Ukraine’s leadership is not surrender-

ing. Many experts thought Kyiv would fall in 24 hours but four days later the battle continues.

I’m glad Zelensky has proved skeptics wrong such as myself. A new poll shows his approval rating at 91%, three times what it was in December. His defense of Ukraine deserves praise.

His bravery is inspiring.

When the United States offered to evacuate him amid concerns for his safety, he replied: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

The actor-turned-president stumbled and did not live up to my expectations at first - but now he has demonstrated that he is not shying away from the biggest responsibility for any national leader: the protection of their people.

I, as a journalist, will keep covering Zelensky with independence and rigor, praising him or calling out his mistakes when necessary. The pressure will only increase. Zelensky has the trust of the nation and a big part of the world. I hope he keeps it up.

What Ketanji Brown Jackson learned as a criminal defense lawyer WASHINGTON — When Congress acted in 2010 to reduce the massive sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine, it sidestepped a critical question: whether to make the change retroactive, applying to thousands of prisoners already serving lengthy terms.

As the U.S. Sentencing Commission debated the issue the following year, Vice Chairman Ketanji Brown Jackson had something to say about whether crack cocaine offenders in federal prison, overwhelmingly African American, should be eligible to have their sentences shortened.

Jackson didn’t mince words — and her passion then offers a glimpse of the kind of Supreme Court justice she could be in the years to come.

“My vote today does not resemble any caricature of a policymaker intent on freeing violent felons without authorization and against congressional will,” Jackson said. “If ever the day should come when the retroactive application of a guideline . . . furthers our societal interests in equitable sentencing and the avoidance of unwarranted disparity,” she continued — and here she paused to emphasize every word — “this is that day.”

Now, 11 years later, Jackson is President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen G. Breyer.

And while Jackson, assuming she is confirmed, will be in the history books as the first Black woman justice, the more immediate significance of her arrival at the Supreme Court may be as only serving justice — and the first in decades — with significant experience representing criminal defendants and grappling with the consequences of the criminal justice system on communities of color.

Breyer, for whom Jackson clerked during the Supreme Court’s 1999 term, was the intellectual godfather of the Sentencing Commission, designed to make federal sentences fairer and more uniform. But Breyer came at the issue from the lofty perch of a Senate aide (he helped write the legislation that created the Sentencing Commission) and later as a federal judge.

Others on the court have varying experience as federal

RUTH

MARCUS prosecutors — Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. as U.S. attorney for New Jersey; Sonia Sotomayor as an assistant in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office; Brett M. Kavanaugh in the office of independent counsel Kenneth Starr.

Jackson brings a different perspective. She would be the first justice to have served as a federal public defender, two years in the appellate office of the D.C. public defender service. Not since Thurgood Marshall has a justice had such extensive experience representing criminal defendants.

During her confirmation hearings for the appeals court last year, Jackson explained that she was inspired to work as a public defender after serving as a staff lawyer for the sentencing commission.

“I lacked a practical understanding of the actual workings of the federal criminal justice system” and wanted to spend some time “serving ‘in the trenches,’” Jackson wrote in answers to questions from Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb. Sasse, who should know better, sought to weaponize her time as a public defender: Did Jackson ever worry about “violent criminals — including gun criminals — being put back on the streets?” Why did she represent a Guantánamo detainee — and if she didn’t have a choice, “did you ever consider resigning from your position?” This suggestion is antithetical to the constitutional vision that every person accused of a crime has the right to the zealous assistance of counsel.

Jackson pushed back with polite forcefulness. “Having lawyers who can set aside their own personal beliefs about their client’s alleged behavior or their client’s propensity to commit crimes benefits all persons in the United States,” she wrote, “because it incentivizes the government to investigate

accusations thoroughly and to protect the rights of the accused during the criminal justice process, which, in the aggregate, reduces the threat of arbitrary or unfounded deprivations of individual liberty.”

Jackson explained during her hearing that “there is a direct line from my defender service to what I do on the bench.” As she searched for grounds on which to appeal convictions, she recalled, “Most of my clients didn’t really understand what had happened to them. They had just been through the most consequential proceeding in their lives and no one really explained to them what they were supposed to expect.”

As a trial judge, “I take extra care to communicate with the defendants who come before me in the courtroom,” she explained of her eight years as a district court judge.

“I speak to them directly, and not just to their lawyers. I use their names. I explain every stage of the proceedings, because I want them to know what’s going on.”

Having a justice who has presided over actual trials, not simply occupied the arid confines of an appeals court, is another plus. But does any of this matter? Given the sixjustice, conservative majority on the court, is Jackson apt to change any minds if confirmed? The court grapples regularly with complicated issues of federal sentencing policy, with the rights of criminal defendants, and with when to apply its criminal law rulings retroactively. Expertise in these areas helps, but it would be naive to hope that a Justice Jackson’s arguments will hold much sway with her conservative colleagues.

Still, if at least for the foreseeable future, the liberal justices are destined to be in the minority in divided cases, Jackson could add a potent third voice to the increasingly anguished dissents issued by Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan. You don’t need to have served in the trenches of the criminal justice system to call out injustice, but an argument amplified by experience is that much more compelling.

Virtual Anxiety Puppet Program at Coxsackie Elementary School COXSACKIE — Vermontbased nonprofit Vermont Family Network’s Puppets in Education program partnered with Sawyer Chevrolet to support a day of virtual puppet presentations at Coxsackie Elementary School last Feb. 18.

In this third school year of the pandemic, the puppets virtual program on Anxiety (Worry) is critical for children’s mental and emotional health.

These anxiety presentations normalize healthy amounts of anxiety and gave tips and tools for when anxiety becomes overwhelming. Children learn Worry is normal, everyone experiences it and that our bodies have a built-in alarm system that tell us when there is a problem. Sometimes our alarm system goes off too often or when it is not necessary. That’s what happens when worry becomes a problem and starts to get in the way of what we need to or want to do. The puppets gave tools for when worry becomes a problem, there are lots of ways we can help to make it smaller, manageable, and not get in the way.

On Feb. 18, the puppets told Coxsackie Elementary School that worry tries to boss us around, but we can boss worry back and be empowered! In all the classes, children stood up with strong arms during the ‘Stand up to Worry’ part in the puppet play. While raising their fists in the air they all said, “I Got this” and “I can do this” with the puppets. Children also shared their worries

and fears with the puppet, “I worry about not getting my work done,” “Getting bullied,” “Whenever I go to bed, I feel like something is going to come after me; it looks like a monster,” and “First day of school.” They also shared how they make their worry smaller, “Say ‘I can handle this’,” “Playing with your pets,” and “Moving and taking a walk” The children were engaged with the puppets and danced and clapped to the songs. The children participated in the interactive parts with waving worry octopus tentacles around and communicated in open, and revealing, ways to the puppet and teacher adult when asked questions about their worries. At the end of each presentation, children enthusiastically cheered, waved, and yelled thank you.

Sawyer Chevrolet is a generous supporter for New York,

and they believe resolutely in the importance of community stewardship. Many children’s lives were touched and changed for the better from Sawyer Chevrolet’s generous sponsorship of Puppets in Education programming.

Puppets in Education is in its 40th year serving over 10,000 children and adults annually with 20 programs addressing many societal concerns, including bullying, abuse, cultural diversity, mental health, disability awareness, anxiety, drug use and other topics.

Puppets in Education is a program of Vermont Family Network who empowers and supports all Vermont families of children with special needs.

Farrell exits NY-21 congressional race

By CARA CHAPMAN Plattsburgh Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — Brigid “Bridie” Farrell, a former U.S. speed skater and crime victim advocate, announced Friday that she is dropping out of the race to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District.

In an email to supporters, the North River Democrat said she made the decision after closely reviewing the new district maps, signed into law by Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul earlier this month.

“New York’s 21st District now has a 23-point Republican advantage instead of the eight-point margin it had when I launched my campaign,” she said. “I no longer see a path to victory for a Democrat in this race.”

Under the new maps, the 21st Congressional District will encompass all or parts of 18 counties, six more than its current configuration.

The district will lose parts of Jefferson and Warren counties while gaining the remainder of Herkimer County, all of Schoharie County and parts of Montgomery, Oneida, Oswego, Otsego and Rensselaer counties.

According to U.S. Rep. Elise M. Stefanik’s campaign, the newly expanded NY-21 voted for former President Donald J. Trump by 19% in 2020, and for the GOP gubernatorial candidate by 30% in 2018.

Farrell and other Democrats chose to remain in the race even after Matt Castelli, a former CIA and White House counterterrorism official who

September 20, 1927 - February 23, 2022 John Joseph Sigler, 94 years of age, died Wednesday, February 23, in Ossining New York. John was born on September 20, 1927, in a small farmhouse in Stockport, Columbia County, New York. His parents, Albert M. Sigler and Bernadine Garrity, and older sister Margaret, called him Jack. The family moved to Hudson, where as a teenager John worked in local apple orchards during the summers. He graduated from St. Michael’s College in Vermont. John moved to White Plains, New York, in 1952, and worked as a pharmaceutical representative for A.H. Robbins for 35 years in New York City. John married Elizabeth “Betty” Fitzgerald in 1961 in Yonkers, New York. A devoted lifelong Catholic, John was a parishioner at St. John the Evangelist parish in White Plains, where he served faithfully as usher for many years. After retirement, John enjoyed painting landscapes and once again took up a hobby he had enjoyed in childhood, building and painting ship and airplane models. “He was a man much given to his home and it was there he found life’s fullest happiness.” John Joseph Sigler will be remembered by his children Bernadette Mary Rogoff, John Albert Sigler, and Elizabeth Margaret Zumar; his sons-in-law Marc Rogoff and Joseph Zumar, and grandchildren Erin Leslie and Christopher Leo Rogoff.

lives in Saratoga, racked up support from 11 county Democratic committee leaders in the district and Stefanik’s predecessor, Plattsburgh Democrat William L. Owens. Castelli has also been endorsed by 13 county Democratic committees.

Farrell’s total fundraising numbers also trailed Castelli’s by nearly $200,000. Whitehall attorney Matthew F. Putorti has brought in more than twice as much as Farrell did throughout their campaigns.

In a statement, Alex deGrasse, Stefanik’s senior adviser, said Farrell’s decision was no surprise.

He contended upstate New York and north country Democrats were “stuck” with the remaining candidates: Castelli, Putorti and Ezra Watson, a technician in the semiconductor industry who lives in Wilton.

“We look forward to once again crushing whichever radical extremist gets through the Democrat primary, and

her strong, conservative leadership has long benefited families across our state,” said Mike McMahon, GOP chair for Montgomery County, one of the new additions to NY-21.

“From taking on corrupt Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to standing with President Donald Trump, Congresswoman Stefanik has always fought for New Yorkers. Montgomery County families look forward to turning out in big numbers to support her re-election,” he added.

The Clinton County GOP’s endorsement of Stefanik’s reelection run came last week.

“Since she was first elected in 2014, Elise has never stopped delivering results for Clinton County families,” County Republican Committee Chair Clark Currier said in a statement. “She is an unapologetic champion for our conservative values, and we’re grateful to continue to support her tremendous work for Clinton County, New York, and our country.”

Norway decides to drop Russia from $1.3 trillion wealth fund Lars Erik Taraldsen Bloomberg

we expect more Democrats to drop out to avoid embarrassing themselves,” deGrasse said.

In her email, Farrell said her desire to give back to the north country is not ending and that she remains committed to helping the region and rural New York in down-ballot races this election cycle.

“As I said when I started my nonprofit years ago: Be Vocal, Go Local. We need to come out for folks who are willing to throw their hats in the ring to serve with financial support, door knocking, phone banking and by having conversations with our neighbors,” she said.

Farrell expressed gratitude to her supporters and said leaving the race is “the beginning of the next chapter.”

“I still truly believe there is more that unites us than divides us,” she continued. “I hope that you do as well, and that you will remain engaged in the beautiful and fragile process of American democracy.”

Farrell’s announcement came shortly after Stefanik, RSchuylerville, touted the backing of three more GOP county committees, making for 15 so far.

The Montgomery, Washington and Lewis county Republican committees have unanimously endorsed Stefanik, joining their counterparts in Saratoga, Franklin, Herkimer, Fulton, Jefferson, Clinton, Hamilton, Warren, Oneida, St. Lawrence, Oswego and Essex counties.

“Our community is ecstatic that Ms. Stefanik will soon officially represent us, although

Norway is starting a process to remove Russian assets from its $1.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund, in a rare case of politics steering investments for the country’s savings.

The government decided to freeze Russian holdings in the fund in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine and plans to divest them in due course, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store told reporters in Oslo on Sunday. Norges Bank Investment Management held about $2.8 billion (25 billion kroner) at the end of the year, Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum said.

The Oslo-based fund is the world’s biggest owner of publicly traded companies with a portfolio of about 9,000 stocks.

The government made its decision despite CEO Nicolai Tangen on Friday describing such a move as a “wrapped gift to the oligarchs” who would buy the shares.

Until now, Norway has been careful to avoid being seen as using the fund as a political tool. Previous attempts to impose political goals on the institution have been met with

criticism that its overarching goal must be the highest possible return over time.

Norway’s decision comes after Russian markets slumped last week and follows U.S. plans with its European allies to ban transactions with the central bank in Moscow and cut off various Russian lenders from the critical SWIFT financial messaging system.

Norway’s biggest energy company Equinor, which is 67% state owned, said it would exit Russia where it had $1.2 billion in non-current assets. In addition, BP moved to dump its shares in oil giant Rosneft and could be forced to make $25 billion writedown.

The wealth fund is now freezing its account holdings in Russia, which means that it will neither buy nor sell, Line Aaltvedt, a spokeswoman for the fund, said by phone. It will then make a plan to sell out of Russia in collaboration with the ministry, she said.

No timeline for the exit has been given so far, and the process could take some time to finalize. A decision by parliament back in 2015 to divest coal producers took months before stocks were sold. While

there is obviously more urgency with Sunday’s decision, it’s still not clear how a selldown would be carried out with the number of potential buyers in the Russian market shrinking as sanctions take effect.

Created in the 1990s to invest Norway’s oil and gas revenue abroad, the fund has followed strict ethical guidelines since 2004, including bans on certain weapons, tobacco and most exposure to coal.

Its biggest equity holdings in Russia at the end of 2020, the last time it disclosed its full portfolio, were in Sberbank of Russia, Gazprom and Lukoil, according to the Norges Bank Investment Management website. It will publish its 2021 holdings on Thursday

NYSIO promotes Aaron Markham to vice Fundraising expert president of operations bolsters philanthropic RENSSELAER — The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) announced the promotion of Aaron Markham to vice president of operations, effective March 1. Markham will report directly to Rick Gonzales, the NYISO’s SVP & Chief Operating Officer.

As vice president of operations, Markham will lead the Operations team, responsible for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of the wholesale energy markets and bulk electric system.

He replaces Wes Yeomans who will retire on May 1, 2022.

“Aaron’s skill and expertise gained over 20 years with Operations makes him the perfect choice to lead the team into the future.

He’s overseen important projects to build the grid of the future and is totally committed to our mission of delivering power system reliability and competitive markets for New York in a

clean energy future,” said Rich Dewey, President and CEO of the New York ISO. Markham has held positions of increasing responsibility since joining the NYISO in 1999.

Most recently, he served as Director of Grid Operations, overseeing grid operations functions, including power system operations and dispatcher training, and regulatory compliance of reliability standards.

Markham successfully led efforts to reliably integrate wind and solar resources into the NYISO’s dispatch programs as well as increasing real-time operator visibility into wind and solar output.

He is active with the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC),

Yeomans retires after 13 years at the NYISO and a distinguished career in the utility industry that spans nearly 40 years.

“Wes Yeomans helped form the competitive energy markets when they were first created, and he’s played a critical role in shaping the NYISO. Wes was one of the first people I met when I started working in the field and since then has always been generous with his wisdom and support not only to me, but countless NYISO employees and stakeholders. His infectious spirit and entertaining style for presentations will be sorely missed. We wish him a happy, healthy, and enjoyable retirement,” added Dewey.

“We’re still waiting for guidance from the governor’s office or the Department of Health,” he said. “We need guidance on social distancing when it comes to physical education, music or whether it’s a school play or concerts. So we’ll also need guidance on interscholastic activities and athletics. Hopefully they’ll provide guidance tomorrow and that way we can make sure that everyone remains on the same page.”

The Coxsackie-Athens Central School District will also make mask-wearing optional beginning Wednesday. District Superintendent Randy Squier said the district was following the guidance of state health officials.

“We have to trust when the State Department of Health — and they’re following CDC guidelines — say that it’s OK to do that, then we’ll follow their guidance,” he said Monday. “They’re the health experts, we’re not. So we’ll follow the recommendations of the state Department of Health as well as Greene County. So we’re just going to continue to do what we’ve done since the beginning of the pandemic — we’re going to follow the guidance and mandates in regards to what our protocols are.”

Squier said he had heard from district parents who wanted the mask mandate to be lifted, but he wasn’t certain that reflected the full scope of opinion in the district.

“Yes, there were people who certainly wanted it to end, but you don’t know if that represented the majority of the community or not,” Squier said. “In my letter to parents I mentioned a Siena statewide poll where 58% of parents surveyed wanted to wait a couple more weeks. We never polled our parents on it or anything like that. Are there going to be some parents and employees that are nervous that

there are no more mandated masks? Yes.” Squier said the district would maintain its COVID-19 protocols to prevent spread of the virus.

“We’ll continue to do all of our other mitigation strategies as far as physical distancing and washing hands,” he said. “If you are sick, we want you to stay home. We are also offering test kits. Anybody who needs a test kit can have a test kit in our schools for kids, families or employees. There’s plenty of that as well. We hope the health experts are correct and the virus is diminishing and we don’t have another spike in cases.”

Airbnb promises to house 100,000 Ukrainian refugees at no charge Nathan Diller The Washington Post

Airbnb is mobilizing its network of renters to offer free, short-term stays to up to 100,000 refugees who are fleeing Ukraine during Russia’s invasion of the Eastern European country, the company announced Monday. The effort runs through an affiliated nonprofit, Airbnb.org, which formed to provide temporary housing for crises dating back to Hurricane Sandy in New York.

Ukraine has continued to see traffic jams near the border as residents flee the country.

More than 500,000 people have now crossed into neighboring countries, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees said Monday. Over half have gone to Poland, according to the refugee agency, and people also are traveling to Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia.

Airbnb executives sent letters to the leaders of Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania, lending their support for refugees, the company said.

The stays will be funded by Airbnb, contributions to the Airbnb.org Refugee Fund and Airbnb.org hosts, per the news release. The company added that Airbnb. org “will work closely

with governments to best support the specific needs in each country, including by providing longer-term stays.”

Airbnb did not immediately respond to questions about where housing would be located and how long guests will be able to stay.

Co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky shared the news Monday on Twitter, and he asked for assistance from potential hosts. “We need help to meet this goal,” he wrote. “The greatest need we have is for more people who can offer their homes in nearby countries, including Poland, Germany, Hungary and Romania.”

Chesky directed those interested in hosting to Airbnb.org’s website.

Those unable to host can donate money to help cover the cost of temporary lodging. The company said Airbnb. org will work with other nonprofits on the ground, which will handle booking and coordinate stays for refugees.

Chesky tweeted that more details would be provided in the coming days.

Last week, the company said Airbnb.org had exceeded its goal of providing temporary stays to 20,000 Afghan refugees, most of which were fully funded.

unfortunate that it’s not coming to Hunter, but that’s a Vail Resorts decision. We certainly hope that in the future, that there are potentially more live events coming, given that they’re safe.”

Vail Resorts is the owner of Hunter Mountain.

Mahoney said he hoped that the town would still be an attraction in the future for music festivals like the

“We’re still waiting for official guidance from the state,” he said. “They said it could be maskoptional for Wednesday, but we’re still waiting on the actual guidance to see if there are any caveats or changes for the COVID protocols.

So hopefully we’ll get that by Wednesday. If we have to make any of our own changes, we can do that.”

Greenville Central School District Superintendent Tammy Sutherland informed district parents Sunday that Greenville would also move to optional masking on Wednesday.

“Starting Wednesday, masks will be a country-music bash Taste of Country, which ran at Hunter Mountain from 2013 to 2018.

“Hunter Mountain was an amazing venue for Mountain Jam and Taste of Country,” Mahoney said. “So we’re holding out hope for the future that events of that style and type come back to the area. The Town of Hunter will be willing to support them anyway we can.”

personal choice in our schools,” she wrote. “As a school community we will respect everyone’s right to choose for themselves. We ask parents and guardians to speak with their child(ren) about personal choice and respect for each other’s personal decisions. We will not tolerate any bullying of students or staff who choose to continue to wear a mask.”

The Greenville Board of Education was set to vote on a resolution during its meeting Monday night for a mask-optional policy for staff and students.

“However, in the event any new lawful directives or conditions are issued, any such choice must be consistent with any new legal requirement that may be issued,” according to the resolution.

On Sunday, Hunter-Tannersville Central School District Superintendent Nathan Jones announced that HTC would also be mask-optional starting Wednesday.

“We will not police mask-wearing options on school grounds or transportation,” he wrote.

“Additionally, everyone must respect the individual decisions made regarding whether to wear a mask or not.”

Hochul said Sunday she stands by her decision to implement the mandate, reflecting on the incredibly high rate of infection seen in December and January.

“The spikes in the infection rate really validated the rationale and logic behind ensuring that we had those masks in place through the spikes, especially the omicron variant,” Hochul said.

She said the testing regimen being rolled out, where every student will take a COVID-19 test before returning to school after a week-long break on Monday, will give extra assurance that students can be safe without using the main COVID-19 spread mitigation strategy.

“We believe that by Wednesday, we’ll be able to have a situation where we’ll have the lifting of the mask requirement,” she said.

Mahoney said there is a thirst in the Hunter community to attract more events like Mountain Jam, which presented headliners including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Wilco, The Black Keys and Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters during its 14-year run on the mountain.

“I think there’s a lot of support for events of this type at

Hunter Mountain,” he said.

“It’s great for the local economy, it’s great for the local businesses. But I think the reason why they’re at Bethel Woods are business decisions not having anything to do with the town.”

Chetkof did not respond to questions Monday asking for comment on the festival’s return to Bethel Woods.

A ransomware gang’s internal drama leaked after it backed Russia

Jamie Tarabay Bloomberg

One of the world’s most successful ransomware groups is reeling from a massive dump of its own internal data after the cybercriminal gang aligned itself with the Russian government.

Conti, a cybercriminal group that researchers say is based in Russia, has extorted millions of dollars from U.S. and European companies in recent years. It provides affiliates around the world with malware that they deploy against victims in exchange for a cut of the ransom payments.

The data leak, which lays bare unprecedented details of attack infrastructure, Bitcoin addresses, as well as internal conflicts and accusations, might never have occurred if the ransomware group Conti had chosen to stay apolitical, said Alex Holden, the chief information security officer for cybersecurity firm Hold Security.

“The main thing is that the gang itself contained a number of Ukrainians, it did not differentiate between its members,” Holden said. That changed last week after Russian forces attacked Ukraine, shelling military airbases, attacking checkpoints and killing at least 137 Ukrainian troops.

While the Russian ground invasion played out on television screens around the world, a cyber conflict has occurred in parallel. Hackers on both sides of the conflict launched brute force attacks known as distributed denial-of-service attacks to knock government websites offline.

By the end of last week, Conti surprised many by firmly planting itself in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s camp, saying it would use “all possible resources to strike back at the critical infrastructures

of an enemy.” The announcement caused a fissure within the group, cybersecurity analysts told Bloomberg News, which counts members from Russia and Eastern Europe among its members and affiliates.

“Most Russian-language underground forums don’t allow discussions related to political topics,” said Oleg Bondarenko, a senior director on the research team at Mandiant. “All such threads are quickly deleted by administrators,” and some forums ban accounts that talk of targeting Russian-speaking countries, he said.

Conti issued a more muted announcement soon after its initial message, saying that while the group didn’t ally itself with any particular government, it would direct resources at “Western warmongers” and avenge any attempts to target critical infrastructure in Russia or any Russianspeaking region in the world.

“Ransomware is a global operation,” said Allan Liska, an intelligence analyst at Massachusetts-based cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. “You may be based in Russia but you have to take into account all of the affiliates that are spread out all over the world right now, most likely, who are not fans of Russia. So you can’t take a stance like that and not expect there to be blowback.”

The blowback, he said, came in the form of chat logs and internal recriminations that dated back 13 months bleeding out into the public with the data leak.

“I’ve found 150-plus Bitcoin wallets, there’s a whole lot of analysis to be done with that,” he said. The back-end infrastructure that Conti administrators or affiliates used during ransomware attacks were now out there “for governments or cybersecurity companies to start poking to find weaknesses.” While internal

THE PUBLIC NEEDS THE TRUTH; NOT SOCIAL MEDIA HEADLINES & FAKE NEWS. #SupportRealNews

structures could be changed, “now we know what the back-end structure looks like, and we know what to scan for, what to look for when they move it,” he said.

Investigators have previously used financial data, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses, to map ransomware hackers’ activities, and in some cases seizing extortion funds. Technical data gives security personnel clues on how to block potential Conti hacks in the future.

Hold Security’s Alex Holden also described what he’d been able to see of the leak. “We see the financial operations, we see their aspirations, for example, they talk about building their own cryptocurrency, we see them fighting with each other,” he said. “One of them recently encrypted a hospital filled with cerebral palsy patients, and we see how they are trying to kick this person out for breaking their code.”

The identity of the leaker is not clear, though Holden suggested a Ukrainian cybersecurity researcher was behind the revelations.

If the revelations lead to the end of Conti’s domination of the ransomware market, there are still many others standing by to fill that space.

LockBit, a cybercriminal gang that also traffics in ransomware-as-a-service to hackers, released a statement over the weekend listing some of the many nationalities it counts in its community.

“For us, it is just business, and we are all apolitical,” the group said. “We are only interested in money for our harmless and useful work. We will never, under any circumstances, take part in cyberattacks on critical infrastructures of any country in the world or engage in any international conflicts.”

LOCAL ROUNDUP:

ICC advances to Class B semis; Chatham falls in CC quarters Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

CLIFTON PARK — The Ichabod Crane Riders defeated the Greenville Spartans handily Saturday evening, 88-54, to advance to the Sectional Semifinals for Class B Boys Basketball.

The Riders used a huge third quarter to their advantage, outscoring the Spartans 24-6 in the period for the big lead to coast in the fourth.

Brett Richards had his 15th consecutive doubledouble for the Riders, scoring 21 points and pulling down 19 rebounds. Alex Schmidt added 22 points and eight assists and Daniel Warner had 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Cody Thompson’s 15 points led Greenville. Joey Domermuth contributed 10 points.

Jack Motta missed a three-pointer to open the game for Greenville and Jack Mullins made a corner three for Ichabod Crane to get it started, 3-0. Then Mullins found Avery Clickman for a layup and a quick 5-0 lead.

Joe Domermuth knocked down two foul shots for the Spartans to cut the lead to 5-4, but Daniel Warner cleaned up a miss by Alex Schmidt at the other end for another Riders basket.

It was evident in the early goings that Ichabod Crane was the more polished unit in transition.

However after a shot from beyond the arc by Nic West and a steal and by Motta, who took it the length of the court for two points, the game was knotted at nine.

Next it was Schmidt’s turn to join the party from beyond the arc for the Riders, burying a shot from the left wing. Then Schmidt drove down the lane on

the Riders’ next possession and hit a shot with the finger roll as he just let the ball fall through the net.

Ichabod Crane hustled for a few second chance buckets to close out the first period and took a 2515 lead after one.

Trey Smith and Jack Motta worked a give-andgo early in the second quarter, Smith passing to Motta on a fastbreak and Motta dishing it back to Smith for the wide open layup. However the Riders answered at the other end with another three point shot.

Motta got another two points after knocking down another shot in transition to cut the lead to 29-21. Out of a timeout, Schmidt utilized a pump fake to perfection and found Warner in the paint for two.

West drained another three-ball for the Spartans to keep them within nine points of the lead with 3:48 left in the half. Warner hit a mid-range jump shot for the Riders, and Richards finessed his way through three Greenville defenders for a layup.

The Spartans trailed by seven on the final possession, but Alex Schmidt launched a desperation heave from beyond halfcourt and made the shot for the Riders at the buzzer to put them back up by ten at the break.

Leading 44-34 to begin the second half, the Riders turned up the intensity on defense. The Spartans called a timeout to try and regroup after the Riders had a five point burst in the first minute.

In first for Austria, Sepp Straka takes Honda Classic in rainy finish Field Level Media

Sepp Straka endured a hectic closing stretch and a late downpour to become the first Austrian to win on the PGA Tour, shooting a final-round 66 Sunday to claim the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Straka’s bogey-free back nine included birdies at Nos. 14, 16 and 18, the last of which ended up being the difference as he finished 10-under-par 270 and beat Ireland’s Shane Lowry (67 Sunday) by a stroke.

Kurt Kitayama posted a 68 and took third place at 8 under. Daniel Berger yielded a fiveshot lead, the largest 54-hole lead in tournament history, and shot a 4-over 74 to place fourth at 7 under.

Straka’s wife flew in Saturday night to join his mother and other family at PGA National Resort and Spa’s Champion Course.

“I didn’t even know Paige was coming down,” Straka told the CBS broadcast. “So this morning, when I walked down the putting green and saw her there. It was just great to have all of them here to celebrate with me.”

Berger started the day at 11 under, five shots better than Straka and three others at 6 under. Poor sand play at the par-5 third hole led Berger to make double bogey, and

including PGA National’s infamous “Bear Trap” of holes 15-17. At the par-4 16th, Straka made a nearly 19-foot birdie putt from off the green to tie Lowry for the lead at 9 under.

A heavy rainstorm popped up as Straka and Kitayama walked to their second shots at the par-5 18th and Berger and Lowry approached the 18th tee. Through the rain, both Straka and Kitayama managed to reach the green in two and two-putt for birdies, which put Straka out in front.

“For a little while there, the wind let down before the rain started and it was kind of nice,” Straka said. “But then on the last hole, that second shot into the green it just started pouring rain.”

“It was pretty hectic,” said Kitayama, who would have needed an eagle and a Straka par for any hope of making a playoff. “I was hoping it was going to die down a little bit, but it really didn’t. You know, just kind of had to play to the middle of the green and twoputt.”

Lowry missed his tee shot at 18 badly left.

He managed to recover and reach the green in three shots, but his 42-foot birdie putt to force a playoff was just off.

Harden’s triple-double, Embiid’s inside work power Sixers over Knicks Keith Pompey The Philadelphia Inquirer

NEW YORK — Two games against so-so, at-best teams are far from a defining body of work.

However, James Harden’s effect on the 76ers is undeniable.

The point guard recorded a triple-double to lead the Sixers to a 125-109 victory over the New York Knicks in Sunday’s matinee at Madison Square Garden. This comes after Harden’s stellar double-double in his Sixers debut in Saturday’s road victory at the Minnesota Timberwolves.

This time, Harden had 29 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds to go with five steals.

Just like on Friday, the Sixers (37-23) also received stellar performances from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in a victory.

Embiid finished with 37 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and four blocks, while Maxey added 21 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Tobias Harris, however, had his second consecutive poorshooting performance. The standout power forward missed his first six shots before making three late fourth-quarter baskets. He finished with 12 points on 3-for-9 shooting.

The power forward’s first basket was huge. His corner three-pointer with 4 minutes, 2 seconds remaining gave the Sixers a 115-107 cushion. Solid foul shooting Stellar foul shooting contributed to the win.

The Sixers made 39 of 44 foul shots for the game, and were clutch in the fourth quarter.

That’s when they made all 12 of their free throws in what was a tight game.

Embiid, who finished 23-for27, made six, Harden had four, while Harris made two. The Sixers had a 108-107 lead after Embiid made his third and fourth free throws of the quarter with 6:16 left.

Then after scoring on a dunk 33 seconds later, Embiid made his fifth and sixth foul shots at the 4:55 mark to make it a 112105 game. Harden the passing wizard If there was a face of getting teammates involved, that face

would be Harden’s.

The Sixers point guard had a hand in the Sixers’ first four baskets of the game.

He scored a layup on an assist from Harris to get the Sixers a 7-6 lead 2:06 in. Then, he assisted on consecutive dunks by Embiid before doing the same for Matisse Thybulle.

The first non-Harden contributed basket came on Maxey’s transition basket to give the Sixers a 15-13 advantage with 7:52 left in the quarter.

Harden went on to finish with 13 points while making 3 of 4 of his shots and all five of his foul shots in the first quarter. He also added four assists and two steals. Big first-half run The Sixers gave themselves a little breathing room with a 16-5 run over a 5:12 stretch. The run began with Harden’s step-back three-pointer to give his team a 38-35 lead with 3.3 seconds left in the first quarter. Maxey capped the run with a threepointer to give the Sixers a 51-40 cushion with 6:51 before intermission.

The Knicks pulled within six points twice. But Embiid responded with a 6-0 run to put the Sixers up, 63-51, with 1:40 left in the half. The Sixers went into intermission up nine points (65-56).

Embiid (10 points), Maxey

(seven points), and Harden (two points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals) all had big second quarters. But the key stretch came during the 16-5 run.

The Knicks, however, didn’t roll over. They battled back from a 10-point deficit and pulled to within one point (88-87) on Immanuel Quickley’s corner threepointer with 1:08 left in the third quarter. Then Slam Dunk champion Obi Toppin knotted the score at 91 on a dunk 14 seconds into the fourth. The Knicks took a 94-93 lead, their first of the second half, on Quickley’s three-point play 59 seconds into the quarter. Harris struggles Harris was the forgotten one in Friday night’s victory in Minnesota.

He finished with six points on 2-for-9 shooting while the other starters -- Embiid (34 points), Maxey (28), Harden (27), and Thybulle (11) scored in double digits.

Coach Doc Rivers was asked before Sunday’s game if he was going to make a conscious effort to get Harris involved early.

“He had great shots,” Rivers said. “Listen, we are in the win business. We don’t try to keep everybody happy, because if that’s true we’d be in the loss business.

“Tobias is going to get great

shots. That’s why he was happy after the game. He was like, man, gosh, I have to take advantage of all these opportunities I got. He felt like he didn’t . But, you know, over the long haul he will.”

Harris missed his first shot on Sunday, a wide-open threepointer, with 6:24 left in the first quarter. He went on to miss his second attempt, which was a wide-open three-pointer before missing a 13-foot shot a couple of minutes later.

On several occasions, the power forward passed up open opportunities created by Harden passes, but put the ball on the floor instead. He appeared to be pressing early.

Things didn’t get any better for him after intermission.

Harris missed a three-pointer 22 seconds into the third quarter. He scored his first two points on a pair of foul shots at the 10:30 mark of the quarter. But 26 seconds later, Harris had a dunk blocked by guard Alec Burks.

Harris thought he was fouled and complained to the ref while running back on defense. He continued yapping during a break in action and received a technical foul.

Harris went on to miss his next two shots. His two foul shots with 8:52 left, however, gave the Sixers a 102-100 lead.

With Aaron Rodgers and Phil Mickelson around, we could all use a break from the world of sports Paul Sullivan Chicago Tribune

Like all NHL teams, the Chicago Blackhawks send out daily medical updates about players’ injuries.

Defenseman Calvin de Haan and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, for instance, were excused from practice earlier this week for “maintenance.”

This can be general soreness or just a mental break for a player to get his body and mind in tune for upcoming games.

Pro sports seasons are a long grind, and finding a way to keep athletes mentally and physically prepared is an ongoing struggle. The days of Cal Ripken Jr. shrugging off aches and pains to keep his consecutive games streak alive are ancient history.

And with recent changes in attitudes regarding the importance of maintaining one’s mental health, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, no one needs to apologize for taking time off to recharge.

But players aren’t the only ones in dire need of a break.

Fans could use a maintenance day, or perhaps even a week, to help us deal with the current goings-on in the world of sports.

We can start with a moratorium on Phil Mickelson, the golfer who decided to go into hiding after being exposed as the selfish, money-obsessed guy we always suspected him to be. Mickelson told a reporter he considered joining a proposed Saudifinanced rival golf league, despite Saudi Arabia’s alleged involvement in the murder of U.S. citizen and journalist Jamal Khashoggi, just to get the PGA Tour to change its ways — meaning more money for golfers.

“They’re scary (bleeps) to get involved with,” Mickelson said. “We know they killed Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.”

After a public outcry, Mickelson released a statement saying his comments were “off the record” and “out of context” — which author/reporter Alan Shipnuck refuted — while apologizing

at the 200-lap event.

“It’s always fun to win here in the home state,” said Larson, an Elk Grove, Calif., native who beat Dillon by 0.195 seconds for his fifth win on a two-mile oval. “Hard work all weekend there. Didn’t feel great in practice yesterday.

of vaccinations,” wrote Adams, who had repeatedly hinted in recent weeks that the policy change was coming. “... We’ve fought a long, hard battle. And we’re winning it because of the grit and determination of every day New Yorkers like you.”

BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) acknowledges fans as he leaves after beating the Chicago Bears on Dec. 12 at Lambeau Field.

for the inflammatory words.

“It was reckless, I offended people, and I am deeply sorry for my choice of words,” he said. “I’m beyond disappointed and will make every effort to self-reflect and learn from this.”

Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee called it “one of the worst apologies I’ve ever seen written” and compared Lefty unfavorably with Tiger Woods.

“I’d dare say 100% of the players out there would rather play with Tiger and they recognize Tiger for being authentic,” Chamblee said. “Phil’s always had a reputation amongst the players as trying to manipulate almost every scenario to benefit himself.”

That’s a description that perfectly fits Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback who

apparently didn’t learn a lesson from last year’s offseason antics when he kept fans guessing about his future. He teased them again last week with an Instagram post expressing “gratitude” to “teammates ... past and current,” adding he loved them and would “cherish the memories we’ve made.”

The next day Rodgers appeared on the “Pat McAfee Show,” an outlet that never challenges Rodgers’ views. Everyone tuned in as if it were a reality-show finale, waiting on the big reveal.

Instead, Rodgers told McAfee there would be no news and explained the cryptic post was simply the result of his 12-day Panchakarma cleanse — a holistic healing treatment that includes therapeutic vomiting, detoxification of the blood, yoga and meditation.

The cleanse put Rodgers in the mood for

thanking everyone in sight, including former fiancee Shailene Woodley.

“It’s kind of a recentering,” he said. “Takes away mental stress. When I come out (I feel) just intense gratitude. That was just where I was at. Felt an immense amount of gratitude.”

Excuse us while we all induce some therapeutic vomiting of our own to cleanse ourselves of Rodgers’ incessant craving for media attention. We’d all be immensely grateful if he would just go away for a while and detox out of sight.

It also would be nice to be able to enjoy the rites of spring training — hearing real major-leaguers telling us about how they lost weight during the offseason and are committed to having a great season.

Instead we’re treated to the thoughts of minorleaguers who won’t even make the 2022 roster and seeing grainy photos of Commissioner Rob Manfred emerging from hibernation like baseball’s Bigfoot, trying to heroically settle the owners’ lockout before Monday’s deadline that would postpone the start of the regular season.

Manfred earlier this month bragged that “in the history of baseball, the only person who has made a labor agreement without a dispute — and I did four of them — was me.” Yet this was the first time he has engaged with the union since the lockout began in December, leaving the negotiations to mere mortals.

If he’s such a master negotiator, why wasn’t Manfred involved in talks all along? If you didn’t know better, you’d think that the owners want games postponed to force the players union to cave in to their demands and that they sent in Manfred at the last minute just for show. Talks ended Saturday with no progress toward a deal, making a postponement of opening day likely.

Sports is supposed to be a diversion from realworld problems, a chance to relax and enjoy athletes competing without worrying about wars, inflation, crime, a pandemic or any other modern-day stressor.

Now we all might need a break from the constant stream of idiocy that’s causing stress rather than reducing it.

Anyone up for a maintenance year?

second shot missed the green and landed in the water. He went on to bogey the hole.

“Yeah, just a poor round.

to dwell on it too much. Just didn’t hit quality shots at the right time. Probably would’ve had a chance to win if I made a few more putts.

and everybody made some good adjustments overnight and the car handled a lot better.”

He overcame late contact on restart with his teammate Chase Elliott, who slapped the wall and soon spun out to force the 12th caution.

Following Dillon were Erik Jones, Suarez and Joey Logano. Aric Almirola, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Daniel Hemric and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rounded out the top 10.

“We had a fast car, but we

went through a lot of adversity,” said Suarez, who recorded his first career top 5 in five starts at the California superspeedway. “We had a few issues. We hit the wall once. But my pit crew is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a lot of fun to race like that.”

There were 12 cautions, as drivers experienced their first time with the Next Gen car – featuring higher horsepower and a taller rear spoiler – on the two-mile oval.

Winless in his Cup career,

California native Tyler Reddick appeared to put himself in great shape by winning the first two stages and leading 10 times for a career-high 90 laps, but he cut a tire and got damage while leading with 50 circuits remaining.

In the first Cup race at the superspeedway since March 1, 2020, polesitter Austin Cindric – who won Daytona last Sunday – brought the 36-car field to the green flag but failed to lead a single lap after being passed on the low side by

Jones.

Elliott grabbed the lead on Lap 23 but smacked the wall hard 10 circuits later, allowing Reddick to take the point spot.

Reddick claimed the bonus points on the race’s 65-lap first stage – his fifth career stage win – by beating Jones to the line and leading 39 laps.

Following Brad Keselowski’s spin near the same spot, Reddick led a nine-lap sprint to win the second stage and topped Jones by 1.58 seconds at Lap 130.

But Reddick cut a left rear tire with 50 left and was struck

by William Byron’s car, ruining Reddick’s day.

Logano led a restart with 44 to go, but contact between Bubba Wallace and Keselowski triggered the 10th caution, involving four cars.

Logano’s Ford paced a restart nine laps later, but Larson’s Chevrolet soon moved around him and to the front on Lap 167 to set up the wild finish.

be sidelined by a private sector mandate. That regulation, which was put into place in late December, requires employees “who perform in-person work or interact with the public” to show proof of vaccination.

Irving, 29, has appeared in just 15 games this season after his refusal to get vaccinated triggered a months-long standoff with the Nets, who announced in October that they would not allow him to be a part-time player. Brooklyn reversed course in December, welcoming back Irving for road games while trying to manage a roster crunch caused by absences stemming from the coronavirus, as well

as injury issues.

The seven-time all-star has averaged 25.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, but his uncertain status has complicated a turbulent season that has included the Nets breaking up their star trio by trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers.

“The circumstances this year have not been ideal, but I’m glad that’s kind of settling down and there’s light at the end of the tunnel here,” Irving said after a road win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday but before Adams’s announcement. “Hopefully I can get back on that home floor, playing in the Barclays. . . .

I’m not the only one. I feel for

everyone who is in my boat or a similar boat or has dealt with some type of trauma from this.”

Per the city’s current “Key to NYC” health regulations, citizens have been required to show proof of vaccination to dine indoors at restaurants and nightclubs, work out in gyms and other fitness studios, and attend movies, concerts and professional sports games, among other public activities.

With coronavirus case counts dropping following the peak of the omicron wave in December and January, other cities and states with similar mandates have loosened their restrictions.

In New York City, 86% of the citywide population has received at least one vaccine dose and 77% is fully vaccinated. The citywide case count has dropped from a seven-day average of more than 44,000 on Jan. 5 to 636 on Feb. 24.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver publicly lobbied on Irving’s behalf for the first time last week, asserting during an ESPN interview that New York City’s vaccine mandate “doesn’t make sense” because it exempts unvaccinated players on visiting teams. At his All-Star Weekend address in Cleveland, Silver added that he expected New York City’s restrictions to be lifted if “local rates of infection and testing . .

. continue to come down.”

Irving said Saturday that he was “grateful” for Silver’s support and that the commissioner “really took one for the team” with his statements.

The Nets (32-29) were pegged as preseason title favorites, but they enter this week as the East’s No. 8 seed, having tumbled in the standings during Kevin Durant’s absence with a knee sprain.

Unless New York City alters or drops its private sector mandate, Irving is eligible to play in only nine of Brooklyn’s remaining 21 games before the playoffs, which begin in midApril.

a shot in the third quarter and committed multiple turnovers that translated to easy points for the Riders. Cody Thompson finally made Greenville’s first bucket of the quarter with just over two minutes remaining and Ichabod Crane unrelenting.

After outscoring the Spartans 24-6 in the period, the Riders led 68-40 through three quarters of play.

The Spartans did not help themselves in the fourth

quarter and still forced low percentage shots on offense to seemingly just get their volume of shots to rise.

Brett Richards knocked down a layup inside the paint to put the Riders up by 30 as they continued to coast in the fourth. Each team pulled their starters in the closing minutes to get their younger players some time on the court but Ichabod Crane was in control throughout.

The Riders were victorious

ADDRESS OF THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR. IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A DISCHARGE FROM THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT, YOU ARE NOT PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR THE UNDERLYING INDEBTEDNESS OWED TO PLAINTIFF/CREDITOR AND THIS NOTICE/DISCLOSURE IS FOR COMPLIANCE AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE New York State requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process.

Please read it carefully. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained

by New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-269-0990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov Rights and Obligations YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process. You are not required to leave your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and sale. Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Costs quickly adding up for wedding participant Dear Abby, I couldn’t be happier for my friends who are embarking on the next chapter of their lives with their partners, but I’m becoming inDEAR ABBY creasingly anxious about their bachelorette parties. While I have attended my fair share, I think they are getting increasingly extravagant and pricey.

I’m trying to prioritize my own next step in life, which is buying a home, and it feels like I’m being “invited” to spend a significant chunk of my savings over the course of a few months. (The weddings themselves will require significant travel.)

The bachelorette party I’m most concerned about is for a wedding in which I have been asked to be a bridesmaid. For this reason, I feel obligated to attend. The cost associated with the weekend is $2,500 per person and will total $20,000 for three days. This equals three months of rent for me, and I’m finding it hard to justify this kind of expense.

My first instinct is to say “No,” but it’s hard to refuse a bride who is so important to me. I want to be supportive and involved during this exciting time for her. How much is too much? What is the proper etiquette for being in the wedding party and attending the bachelorette party?

Should I have asked about this before accepting to be in the bridal party?

Anxious Attendant

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Yes, you should have asked the bride before accepting her invitation to join the wedding party. And it is not too late to speak up. Contrary to popular belief, bachelorette parties and weddings do NOT “go together like a horse and carriage.” TALK with your friend. Explain that all of the costs (travel, outfit and wedding gift) are more than you can afford. If you do, she may tell you it’s enough that you travel to and participate in the wedding. However, if she doesn’t, back out so she can replace you.

Dear Abby, My husband, who is in his 60s, wears a baseball cap all day, every day, to hide a bald spot on the back of his head. He has worn that same dirty cap for two years and even wears it to work. He wears it in the house and only removes it when he is sleeping. I have suggested he wash it or replace it, but he refuses and he makes a tsk-tsk noise when I tell him I don’t think it’s healthy to wear something filthy on your head for two years.

You are correct; it isn’t healthy. If he does it because he’s self-conscious about his bald spot, there are products that can minimize it, and effective surgical options if he would be willing to spend the money.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are likely to discover, at a remarkably early age, that you are not a fan of small talk, busywork or any other activity that doesn’t engage your mind and/or body to the degree that you have to work at what you’re doing to some extent. The fact is that you were born to work, strive, reach and accomplish — and you were endowed by the stars with a constant drive to do things that are in some way important.

You derive a great deal of motivation from your own state of mind, and the fruits of your labors can often be traced directly to whatever mood you may have been in when conceiving of the project.

Also born on this date are: Ron Howard, actor and director; Jensen Ackles, actor; Daniella Monet, actress; Frederic Chopin, composer; Roger Daltrey, singer; Lupita Nyong’o, actress; Alan Thicke, actor; Robert Conrad, actor; Harry Belafonte, singer.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — A creative endeavor asks a great deal of you today, but you’re ready to give it your all — especially if a certain someone is watching you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may find yourself tackling something new and formidable, but you have what it takes to prevail. Use the clock to your advantage today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You see through someone who is trying to deceive a number of other people — but is it really your place to speak up? Only you can answer that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Put your best foot forward today and you’re likely to win the support of someone who is in a position to do you a lot of good — which you need!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Associations will be made clear to you today, and you’ll have to decide whether to stick it out or move on to something with less stress involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There are those who can match you step for step today, but no one is likely to match your unusual and very effective style. This makes a difference!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You have been doubted in the past, but that’s not likely to matter now, when so many people are coming to you for assistance only you can give.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — There’s no reason to doubt your ability today; you have what it takes to do what needs to be done, and underlying currents all favor your efforts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are considering jumping into something for which you know you are not fully prepared, but the likely rewards outweigh the risks today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ll get no guarantees today, but that’s not likely to stop you — particularly when you’ve been waiting for this for so long!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your expectations may well be met today, but not by someone you thought would be there for you. A surprise arrival has a major influence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The time has come for you to set aside any doubts about what lies ahead and go for it with eager confidence.

Others look to you as a role model.

WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS Q 1 - Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:

Right-hand opponent opens 1C. What call would you make?

♠ K 10 8 7 5 ♥ 9 8 4 ♦ A Q J 6 ♣ 8

A - Bidding 1S is fine, and it might let you bring hearts into the picture later. We prefer to put pressure on our opponents and would bid 2S instead.

Right-hand opponent opens 1NT, 15-17. What call would you make?

A - There are many gadgets in use over a 1NT opening. If you have a bid to show spades and a minor, use it now. Otherwise, just pass.

Q 2 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠J86♥A8♦AQ43♣KJ53

Right-hand opponent opens 1D. What call would you make?

A - 1NT is a possible bid with this hand, but that is an easy overcall to double and this is a very soft hand. We would pass.

Q 5 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠K7654♥Q76♦QJ9♣A8 SOUTH 1♠ ?

WEST Pass

NORTH 2♦

EAST Pass

What call would you make?

A - It is usually a poor idea to raise partner’s minor to the three level with only 3-card support and a minimum. Bid 2NT. Q 6 - East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠9♥Q8764♦AQJ75♣97

Q 3 - East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠QJ93♥AQ85♦J4♣J96 WEST 1♣

NORTH 1♦

EAST Pass

SOUTH ?

A - You should respond to an overcall pretty much like it was an opening bid, with some exceptions. Certain conventions don’t apply, but natural bids are normal. Bid 1H. Q 4 - Both vulnerable, as South, you hold:

A - Most people today play the Unusual No Trump, where a jump to 2NT over a major-suit opening shows both minors. When the suit opened is a minor, however, the bid shows hearts and the other minor, the two lowest ranking suits. Bid 2NT.
