An event designed to draw attention to the plight of autism victims in Oswego County is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Leighton Elementary School. The Oswego County Autism Task Force seeks to provide information that enhances the lives of those touched by Autism Spectrum Disorders in our community.
The Friends of Fort Ontario will sponsor the May 8-9 War of 1812 commemoration event at Fort Ontario State Historic Site. Dr. Harold Youmans will be the featured speaker and will present a program on the May 5-7, 1814, Battle of Oswego on Saturday at 1:15 p.m.
The main entrance is to be used for walk-in emergencies from 4 p.m. Friday, April 16 until 7 a.m. Monday, April 19. Construction crews will be working over the weekend at the entrance on West Sixth and Oneida Streets that has served as the walk-in emergency entrance.
Data from the state Labor Department shows the unemployment rate in Oswego County in March was 10.8%. That’s down from 11.5% in February but is a few tenths of a point higher than the jobless rate of a year ago.
The purpose of the program isn’t to punish drivers. The mission is to educate them about the importance of not passing a stopped school bus – anywhere. Even though Operation Safe Stop has ended, we still plan to continue our aggressive enforcement of observed violators, the police chief said.
