Today (Oct. 24) at approximately 2:28 a.m., Oswego County 911 center received a call regarding a 23-year-old man with a stab wound. State Police along with EMS personnel responded to 99 Kellogg Road in the Town of Hannibal. Resuscitative efforts failed and the male was transported by Menters Ambulance to Oswego Hospital where he was subsequently pronounced deceased.

he Oswego County District Attorney’s Office and the County of Oswego Council on Alcoholism & Addictions are proud to announce that they held the inaugural session of “Project Intervention” on October 14 and 15. Project Intervention is an education program for first-time offenders under the age of 25 who are charged with low-level drug possession for personal use, such as unlawful possession of marihuana.

At its meeting Monday night, the Administrative Services Committee, councilors approved Fire Chief Jeff McCrobie’s request to accept a trio of donations. One of them was 200 smoke detectors from Lowe’s. Firefighters carry smoke alarms with them on calls, the chief pointed out. That way, he explained, if a resident doesn’t have one or needs a replacement, they can receive one right there.

The county’s support of the One Stop Center has paid dividends as the site will continue to assist job seekers. At this month’s legislature meeting, Oswego County Legislator James Karasek said, “It’s important for us in the county, with the unemployment rate that we have, that we provide the proper services to help people try to find a job.” The center will host an open house.
