Names making news

 This first item slipped under the radar, under-reported by the hometown press.

It's very rare----aside from movies & novels----for schools to make administrative changes in the middle of the school year. But, that's what happened last month when Troy High principal Joseph Mariano, Jr. left to become the superintendent of the Stillwater Central School District.

Coincidentally, THS hosted Stillwater in the 2023 Class D football title game vs. Warrensburg/Lake George/North Warren on November 3. Three months later, and Mariano takes the Stillwater job.

On February 8, Mariano was given a send-off at Troy after 11 1/2 seasons as principal (2013-24).


Mariano began his new job February 9, but the deal was completed two months earlier.

After a few weeks without an executive principal, the Troy district earlier this week named veteran math teacher Joshua Monk as Mariano's successor. Best wishes to both Monk & Mariano.
=================================================
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can breathe a little easier. She'll still get to prosecute former president Donald Trump

Judge Scott McAfee ruled today that either Willis or her ex, attorney Nathan Wade, had to basically recuse themselves from the case due to objections raised by another defendant in the case, Michael Roman. Wade, hours later, decided to step down. Team Pampers' attempt to smear Willis didn't work the way they'd hoped, and, now, they're stuck on the path to prison.
=================================================
It seems that anyone associated with Trump develops an unhealthy aversion to confinement.

Consider, then, the case of one of Trump's former advisers, Peter Navarro. After a request to further delay his imprisonment was rejected by an appeals court Thursday, Navarro decided, like an idiot, to take his case to the Supreme Court.

No, you shouldn't be doing that, pal. Unless you've got extreme claustrophobia, you serve your time, and then you get to go home. Four months is chump change for first time offenders. 

No, the problem is that Navarro, Steve Bannon, and others think that, like Trump, they're entitled to executive privilege, but they're not. They think they're above the law, but they're not. What is wrong with a simple sentence of four months? 

That old ad campaign was right. The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
==================================================
Jests QB Aaron Rodgers is being offered an opportunity to be a vice president.

Independent candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr., who has turned his back on his famous family due to his vaccine denials, reached out to fellow anti-vaxxer and former State Farm pitchman Rodgers, who then had to deny reported claims that he believed the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax.

The idiocy of some people.......!!
