Here’s an underreported story from yesterday that will affect a lot of folks: From now on, the insurance available through your employer must cover your child up to the age of 29.
The health insurance for young adults measure is important because traditionally, young people drop off their parents’ insurance when they reach 19, or when they graduate from college.
The trial of Lynn and Lindsey Maxwell will turn on three things: door locks, cat poop and cat pee. Those three items dominated the opening night of their trial on child endangerment charges in Palermo Wednesday.
They are the father and step-mother of Erin Maxwell, the 11 year old found dying in her bedroom last August 29. They are not on trial for her death. Erin’s stepbrother, Alan Jones, is accused of sexually abusing and then killing her. The Maxwells are accused of having conditions in their home that were dangerous to Erin.
Here’s a pretty picture. Phillip Moore of Fulton took this photo, which he calls “Quiet”. It was good enough to take Best in Show honors at the Art Association of Oswego’s annual Members’ Exhibition. For that, he’ll be able to hold a solo show next year in the Civic Arts Center. Read the rest of the story to see who won in other categories.
The Oswego County Sheriff’s Department alleges that a man from Schroeppel threatened to end a domestic argument by pouring gasoline on two people, setting them on fire and killing them.
The Fulton Public Library is busier than ever and is on the verge of substantial improvements to its aging home.
The library is more than halfway to its goal of raising $204,500 to build its first-ever elevator for the four-story building. The money will also begin the job of fixing up the bottom floor of the library, a place that’s been off-limits for the public for decades.
These are just three of the things that will be built, bought or invested in in Oswego County because of what critics call “pork barrel” spending and supporters call “member items”.
Police allege he had engaged in what they said were “numerous acts of sexual conduct” with a child 10 years old or younger. The incidents happened between July, 2007 and Spring, 2009, according to police.
Robert Matteson died last weekend in Oak Creek, Colorado. He was 63.
Matteson, who grew up in Central Square, was well known in Oak Creek as “Cowboy Bob” and at the same time, he was barely known at all. He was said to be the small town’s only homeless person, but few there knew how he came to be that way. In Oswego County, his family knew that his time in Vietnam had changed him but after he suddenly left town, they could never find where he had gone.
His peaceful death in a garage solved a lot of mysteries.
There’s a wonderful article in the local newspaper there, called The Steamboat Pilot and Today, that gives Robert Matteson’s life its proper due and ties up the loose ends on both sides. It’s worth your time to read it.
