Police say: “According to witnesses, a patient at the Oswego Hospital Emergency Department allegedly physically assaulted a security guard employed at the hospital then left the building. Once outside, the suspect stole an Oswego Ambulance that was parked outside the emergency entrance that had been transporting an unrelated patient to the hospital.”

UPDATEÂ From Harborfest:
Harborfest officials said Friday afternoon that they’re “moving forward at this point with the schedule. There may be some delays at certain parks, but hopefully not many.” In case of inclement weather on Saturday night, the rain date for the fireworks is Sunday.
The Harborfest Children’s Parade scheduled for Friday morning was postponed until noon on Saturday. ThepParade, sponsored by Oswego Health, will start at East Park and the route will take participants to the Novelis Family Park at Fort Ontario. Pre-parade festivities will be limited, but all children are encouraged to come and join in the fun.

Here in Oswego County, people aren’t strangers to the heat and humidity of a Central New York summer. We do everything from cranking up the AC, to heading out on the boat for the breeze and maybe a dip in the lake, to relaxing poolside with a cool drink. Pets are just as affected by the heat as their human counterparts, if not more.

Nearly idyllic weather greeted the large crowd at Thursday night’s opening of Harborfest 23. The music started at 7 p.m. with Hollywood Nights (a tribute to Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band). And, after a short interruption for the official opening ceremonies, The Little River Band kept Harborfest 2010 rocking and rolling.
It’s opening night for Harborfest. The annual summer celebration begins in the usual fashion — with an opening set of concerts wrapped around an opening ceremony.
Thursday night’s opening begins with the Bob Seger tribute band “Hollywood Nights” at 7:30 p.m.
Opening ceremonies take place at 8:30 p.m.
Right after that, the night’s headliners take the stage. Australia’s Little River Band perform on the Breitbeck Park stage beginning at 9:00 p.m.

The injured pit bull puppy recently underwent five and a half hours of surgery to have his severed jaw repaired. The man who allegedly injured the puppy is facing a felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty.

Although the school year just ended, it’s time to make sure your child has the right immunizations for the next school year. New York State requires people to receive certain vaccinations to be eligible for entrance to school. These requirements range from children entering kindergarten to students going to college.
