Scene Around Town: The Case Of The Frightened Fox
A fox has been coming around on and off, early mornings, at Dick Drosse’s house in Minetto.
The award-winning photographer has grabbed his camera time and again in an attempt to capture a portrait of the visitor.
However, it spooks easily.
“I couldn’t figure how I could step out and get a good photo,” Drosse said. “I’d just get ready to take the photo, and the fox would run off.”
A little while ago, he found out why.
As the fox strolled toward the house, “out of the brush pops our cat, Leo, chasing the fox,” Drosse explained. It’s as if Leo’s yelling, “There’s only room for one boss around here!”
If you’d like to see more of Drosse’s photography, visit the Oswego Public Library; it is hosting an exhibition of his work through Oct. 5.
Oswego County’s signature industry is caught in a downward spiral, according to a new report.


Bishop’s Commons hosted its third annual back to school fashion show. It’s a wonderful experience when young children and our residents are together making connections, one of the show’s organizers pointed out. It also marked the first time Bill Foley announced something other than a sports event.
