The Fulton City School District’s new approach to student athletes who suffer head injuries can be summed up in six words:  When in doubt, hold them out.  It will mean more time on the sideline […]

Hannibal’s interim Superintendent of Schools believes the district will soon be “in good shape” with the state’s recommendations to fix problems found in an audit.

The audit from the Office of the State Comptroller asked two questions: Did the district have procedures to make sure it was buying goods and services in the least expensive way, and did it have adequate control of its fuel inventories?

Both answers came back: No.

Aerial spraying of the Toad Harbor / Big Bay Swamp area on the north shore of Oneida Lake was completed between 7 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20.

UPDATE: Sunday’s scheduled spraying has been postponed due to rainy weather.  Details here.

Hannibal turned out for its annual parade Thursday night.  Half of the community was in the parade and the other half lined the streets of the village to applaud the passing bands, politicians and floats.

UPDATED with additional information from county: New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah issued a declaration of imminent threat to public health in Oswego County Wednesday evening, clearing the way for the Oswego County Health Department to prepare for aerial spraying of mosquitoes which could carry the Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus.

Congressman Bill Owens, who represents Oswego County, said the recent deal to raise the federal debt limit while cutting the federal deficit left him frustrated, and not only with the opposition Republicans.

Owens was in Fulton Wednesday night for a Democratic party event at the Tavern on the Lock.
