Elect Amy and Make History
The city of Oswego will make history this November. Either we’ll elect the youngest and least experienced person ever to serve as a New York state mayor or we can for the first time elect a write-in candidate or we can elect Oswego’s first woman mayor. This is the time to make the right kind of history. This is the time to elect Amy Tresidder.

Sandra Scott Travels: Explore Central NY’s Native American Heritage
Before the Europeans arrived in what is now called New York State, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy ruled the area. They formed a confederacy comprised of the Mohawks, Onondagas, Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas and Tuscaroras. By the way, Haudenosaunee is the correct way to refer to the Iroquois. The word Iroquois is an English corruption of a French corruption of an Algonquian word that was used as an insult.

Pet of the Week – Tessa
Tessa was a scrawny thing rescued from under a porch with a bunch of kittens. She was scared and we thought she may be too unsocialized to be adopted and would have to go to a barn. But we were wrong. As soon as she didn’t have to fight to protect her babies, she turned into her real lovey-dovey self.
