The last time the New York Islanders won at least three straight games, it catapulted them into the playoffs. A playoff berth isn't imminent for the Islanders, but a third straight win -- this one against the hottest team in the NHL -- will continue to improve an outlook that appeared bleak just days ago.

A onetime aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has voluntarily dismissed a federal lawsuit she had filed against him and several of his aides two years ago alleging he sexually harassed her and then smeared her reputation after she became the second woman to publicly accuse him of misconduct. According to statements from Charlotte Bennett and her attorney Debra Katz posted on X on Monday, Bennett will drop the case against Cuomo and top aides Melissa DeRosa, Jill DesRosiers and Judith Mogul, but the suit against the state, her employer at the time, will proceed. “Former Governor Andrew Cuomo can no longer use this lawsuit to harass me and my family. His abusive filings and invasive subpoenas are meant to humiliate and retaliate against me and those who have supported me over the last five years of this living nightmare. Mr. Cuomo’s letter to the Court last week is yet another example of this and I have had enough,” Bennett said in a statement. Debra Katz and Charlotte Bennett issued statements on news that Bennett voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the SDNY against Andrew Cuomo, who sexually harassed her. The case in state court against the State of NY, her employer, will proceed. pic.twitter.com/dU63bc4vBP Katz alleged that Cuomo made a number of “invasive discovery requests” in an effort to humiliate her. “Mr. Cuomo has used these legal proceedings to punish Ms. Bennett and others who reported his sexual harassment, and to cause more harm to her, all at the expense of New York taxpayers,” Katz said. “On behalf of Ms. Bennett, and in support of all who have faced sexual harassment by powerful men like former Governor Cuomo, we will continue to seek justice in our action against the State of New York.” Bennett filed the suit against the former governor in federal court in New York City in September 2022, alleging Cuomo subjected her to unwanted advances, including telling her he was “lonely” and on the hunt for a girlfriend and asking her if she would be open to sex with an older man. Cuomo resigned as governor in August 2021 after state Attorney General Letitia James released the results of an investigation that concluded Cuomo had sexually harassed at least 11 women, including Bennett. Bennett played a critical role in Cuomo's eventual downfall. At the time she came forward with her accusations, only one other woman, Lindsey Boylan, had spoken publicly about being harassed by the governor. When Bennett initially told her story to The New York Times , Cuomo appeared to acknowledge that he had hurt her with comments inappropriate for a workplace, but denied that he was making sexual advances. He claimed Bennett had misinterpreted his comments. "Ms. Bennett's decision to drop her baseless lawsuit should be viewed as a complete capitulation and a desperate attempt to avoid being confronted with the mountains of exculpatory discovery-- including contemporaneous texts and videos that the AG’s office never obtained-- that completely refute her claims against Governor Cuomo," Cuomo lawyers Rita Glavin and Theresa Trzaskoma said in a statement Monday. "After falsely smearing Governor Cuomo for years, Ms. Bennett suddenly withdrew her federal lawsuit on the eve of her deposition to avoid having to admit under oath that her allegations were false and her claims had no merit. If New York State does give in to her public pressure campaign and settles, it will not be on the merits and should require the public release of all the evidence so that New Yorkers finally know the truth: Governor Cuomo never sexually harassed anyone." document.write(__reporter_name); - document.write(__reporter_title); document.write(__reporter_bio);Santa Tracker The Santa Tracker – Official app brings the excitement of tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve to life.

ROME — Rome Free Academy won its annual ice hockey tournament hosted at Kennedy Arena with a pair of shutout wins Friday and Saturday. It was the first time the hosts had won their tournament since the 2019-20 season. (It was not held the next season due to COVID-19.) The event was previously named the Bobby T. Ciccotti Tournament, and was run by the Bobby T. Ciccotti Foundation. The Black Knights beat Mohawk Valley High School Showcase defending champion New Hartford 6-0 on Friday then topped Whitesboro 4-0 in the title game the next night. “It was a good weekend. Not giving up any goals is always good,” said RFA head coach Jason Nowicki. “It was a great way to start the year.” In the championship game, Jacob Bruno scored twice and added an assist to lead the way. Braden Meeks had a goal and two assists while Tyler Lokker scored and had an assist. Mark Varano added an assist. The Knights scored once in the first, again in the second and had two goals (including on into an empty net) in the third to seal the win. Offensively, the team is a typical RFA squad with plenty of speed. “We’re faster now than we’ve been, i think, ever,” Nowicki said. “But I also like what I see from them down low in the zone.” He noted, “We may not be the biggest team but we play with an edge. Bodies were flying out there this weekened.” Varano took a big jump in the offseason, Nowicki noted, and is a scoring threat. “Bruno and Meeks were great finishing opportunities, flying around the ice.” Marchione had a great game Friday, he noted. “We did some great things offensively,” despite early-season jitters. “But all that said, we’ll take 10 goals on the weekend.” He said that the coaches moved Aiden Van Wie up from defense to forward this season. “I like having him up front,” as it gives the team three fully capable lines. “I feel way more comfortable with him up front.” RFA’s Donte Sparace earned his second shutout in two nights with 34 saves on Saturday. He turned away good scoring chances while RFA was up 1-0, to hold the lead, the coach said. “He does way more for us than people realize, besies making saves.” That includes communication with teammates and good stick handling skills. Though he’s a sophomore it is his third year as the starter in net, so he’s “battle tested. He’s focused. We like the chances he gives us to win every time we step out onto the ice.” “The strength of our team was our defense,” said Nowicki, who had said before the event that this is the deepest group he’s had in years. “We had some real big contributions from some newcomers,” he noted, including 6-foot-4 freshman Miles Mendiola and eighth grader Connor Weiman. “I thought our defensive group was going to be good, but they exceeded expectations.” Mason Stanton made 30 saves in the loss. On Friday, RFA scored twice in each period and Sparace stopped all 18 shots he faced. In that win, Jackson Marchione had two goals. Bruno had a goal and two assists. Varano scored and had an assist. Meeks and Gio Gualtieri scored once each. Chris Brement, Van Wie and Brock LaPlant had an assist each. New Hartford’s Rocco Mastrovito-Smith made 57 saves in the loss. In the other Friday game, Whitesboro beat the Mohawk Valley Jugglers 5-4 in overtime. The unified MV team had the lone first-period goal. Both teams scored twice in the second. Whitesboro outscored MV two to one in the third to force overtime. Collin Aceto had an assist in regulation but his biggest contribution was the overtime game winner. Gavin Aceto scored and had a pair of assists. Kyle Parent, Jake Hall and Aiden Nofri scored once each. Marco Benedetto had three assists and Drew Witchley had one. Stanton made 27 saves to earn the win. For MV, Leo Heiser scored twice and Andrew Thompson and Kyle McReynolds had one each. Aiden Fazekas had a pair of assists, and Sean Graziano and Jayden Skutnik had one each. Goalie Evan Buckingham made 38 saves. But the Jugglers bounced back to win the consolation game, 3-1 over New Hartford. After going to the first intermission tied 1-1, MV scored twice in the second. Graziano and junior defenseman Jacob Bennett had a goal and assist each. McReynolds had the other goal. Fazekas had a pair of assists again and Mason St. James had one. Sophomore goalie Jacob Bennett made 20 saves to earn the win. New Hartford’s Nicholas Sans had the team’s goal. Mastrovito-Smith had 53 saves. RFA (2-0) hits the road for a Division 1 game at Cicero-North Syracuse at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Midstate Athletic Community Center. The unified team also has players from Liverpool. Whitesboro (2-1) plays at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in Division 2 at Oswego at Fort Ontario-Crisafulli Rink. MV (2-2-1) plays a Division 1 game at 6 p.m. on Tuesday against CNY Fusion at Fulton Ice Arena. New Hartford (0-3) hosted Christian Brothers Academy/Jamesville-Dewitt in Division 2 on Monday. Results were not available at press time. All-tournament team Forwards: Lokker, Bruno, Hall, Graziano, Gavin Aceto Goalie: Mastrovito-Smith MVP: Sparace
