CHATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Hustling is what Chatham panther Matt Thorsen does. It helped Chatham win a state baseball championship last year and brought home the school's first-ever basketball title this past season. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! “We’ve never won anything past the patroon conference in basketball," Thorsen said. "It was a great feeling with all of my best friends since fourth and fifth grade. It’s almost a better feeling than baseball just because we’ve never done it before. Baseball, basketball, wherever it may be, winning is always fun, and breaking school history is a feeling of its own.”Thorsen and the Panthers want that feeling again. The team is currently on the prowl for back-to-back class c state titles. Thorsen believes running the table would be a storybook ending his high school career.“We really talked about how winning it two times in a row would be something legendary and something that is al...Sweden, Turkey and Finland set for more Swedish NATO membership

Turkey, Sweden and Finland will meet later this month to try to overcome objections that have delayed Sweden's NATO membership bid, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Sunday after meeting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.Turkey in March ratified Finland's bid for membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but still objects to Sweden joining the alliance, as does Hungary.Turkey has said Stockholm harbours members of militant groups it considers to be terrorists."Sweden has taken significant concrete steps to meet Turkey's concerns," Stoltenberg told reporters, referring to a constitutional change by Sweden and its stepping up of counter-terrorism cooperation with Ankara.Stoltenberg's talks in Istanbul with Erdogan took place a week after Erdogan extended his two-decade rule in an election.The election coincided with protests in Stockholm, against both Erdogan and NATO, in which the flag of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), outlawed in Turkey, was projected o...Calls for EU to investigate Russian payments to Maltese dentist

The level of corruption with which Russian officials and oligarchs infected individual EU countries is shocking. The EU must conduct a comprehensive examination of Maltese "passport-for-money" schemes, writes famous Ukrainian journalist Tetiana Nikolayenko of Censor.NetShe underlines in her article https://censor.net/en that the level of corruption with which Russian officials and oligarchs infected individual EU countries are shocking. The purchase of EU passports is one such example. Such schemes flourished in many countries - Spain, Portugal, Greece, but even Cyprus and Bulgaria abandoned the "passport for money" schemes.Malta remains the only country that continues to provide a cynical path to an "EU golden passport". For Russian oligarchs, Malta became a real back door to the EU. Public organizations appealed to both the Maltese authorities and the EU with a request to "stop passports sale to Russians", which Malta agreed to, but the EU has now taken Malta to court to hal...Ask Amy: We’re hurt by what her family says was her last wish

Dear Amy: An elderly person in our small community has just died. Those in my generation have known her for our entire lives.One of her sons was in my class in our small high school. She was extremely active in our church, and as her health started failing, we did what we could to visit with her and be helpful to her family.This probably sounds like a silly problem, but her family has decided not to have any kind of service for her. They said this was her wish.Some of us in town are somewhat surprised and feeling a little hurt about this.I’d like to encourage the family to have a memorial service of some kind, but that seems like an overreach.What do you think?– SadDear Sad: Telling a family what to do after the death of a parent in order to soothe the community is definitely an overreach.You and other members of your community might want to hold a simple, non-religious sharing circle (for lack of another term) as a way to mark your friend’s passing.
