Have you ever seen a cat quite so handsome as Suki? He is not even a year old yet and a big strong boy with beautiful markings (not chunky – just BIG). He LOVES the other cats in his foster home, absolutely loves them and is playful and loving with them.

The county DPW garage in Scriba went to the dogs Wednesday – with a few felines thrown in for good measure. It was the Oswego County Health Department’s first rabies clinic of season. County health officials said they’d like to see a lot of people take advantage of the rabies clinics. Rabies is still out there, they warn. “If we protect our pets, we are also protecting ourselves. That’s the whole point of these clinics,” the county public health director said.

The calendar says Spring arrived almost a week ago. But someone forgot to tell Old Man Winter. Temperatures were in the 20s Wednesday morning and ice blotted out Lake Ontario’s water almost as far as the horizon. None of that mattered after 10 a.m.; the true harbinger of spring – Rudy’s – threw open its doors to usher in a new season.

UPDATE: Two people were home at the time of the fire, and were able to exit uninjured. According to fire officials on the scene, the fire appears to be accidental, started in the kitchen, and is under investigation.
Oswego Fire Department crews responded to a structure fire at 151 E. Bridge St., near Garafolo’s. The fire was reported around 5:09 p.m. today (March 24). No injuries were reported.
