Fulton’s varsity football team will play the entire 2009 season on the road.
The original plan — to play its games at home during the second half of the season, once the new turf field is installed — died officially a few days ago, when more asbestos was found in drainage pipes beneath the field last Friday.
Abby Weaver sends us this photo of marathoners training. She writes: “Training for the Century Marathon, October 11 in Fulton, is a team effort. Local runners Beth Foederer and Sam Familo lead the training runs each Sunday around Fulton. The training schedule includes running 12 miles August 23, 15 miles August 30 and 20 miles the following weekend. The runs are held rain or shine, and often cover part of the marathon course. Call the Fulton YMCA at 598-9622 or email [email protected] for information on the training run meeting time and place.”
“Due to the current construction at G. Ray Bodley High School, the location for Thursday’s Senior Picture retakes for the 2010 Fultonian Yearbook has changed. Students are asked to enter through the temporary main entrance in the teacher’s parking lot and pictures will take place in room 132 rather than the auditorium. Room 132 is right around the corner from the entrance, which will make it easier for everyone involved.
The photographers will be at GRB from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thurs. Aug. 27. There is no charge for students who did not have their portrait taken in June, but there is a $10 retake fee which will be collected at the time of the pictures.”
The ranks of Oswego County’s Youth Court swelled by nearly two dozen on Tuesday night.

“We’re very excited to celebrate” the news, said Betsy Conners, Executive Director for Instruction and Assessment, who got the news from the state in advance of an expected public announcement today.
Nearly 105,000 students asked for their results to be sent to one or more colleges or universities. 5,462 students — about 1 in every 20 students taking the exam — asked for their results to be sent to SUNY Oswego.
Fran Godici sends along a couple of pretty photos. The brilliant orange sunset above is one of the reasons people live here and put up with 200 inches of snow in winter. Click the story to see her other photo, of sailboats on the lake. Thanks for sending along the photos, Fran!
It started with a carrot cake.
“It’s such a good recipe,” said Kathy Hotaling of Fulton. “Everyone had it and said, ‘you should open a bakery’.”
So she did.
