Mayor Billy Barlow fired back at Council Vice President John Gosek on Monday refuting claims the councilor made at last week’s committee meetings. Gosek initiated discussion regarding a proposed local law to prohibit the spraying of herbicides on city properties. After a lengthy debate at committee, his attempt to bring the matter to the full council was stymied. However, the mayor pointed out Monday that it’s pretty much a moot point. The city already has a spraying policy in place, adding that for any spraying to be done, the proposal must first be approved by the council.
The Midway Drive-In in Minetto is opening for the 69th season with a two-movie feature for the first week showing Transformers (PG-13) and Baywatch (R ) from Friday July 14 – Thursday July 20. But first, the season will officially kick off with a memorial showing of “A Reason to Celebrate” a documentary by Peter Mahan in honor of Midway Drive-In’s long time owner whose unexpected passing delayed the opening as family and community alike mourned a great loss. John Nagelschmidt V had owned the Midway Drive-In in Minetto since 1986, a natural progression following 20 years previous of working and managing the theater since his first day after picking up a job in high school that quickly turned into a developing passion. The documentary will be shown on July 13, with free admission.

Lee Memorial Hospital in 2009 which promptly switched to a medical health facility ran by Oswego Health though the transition was able to absorb many jobs. At Michaud, 139 full- and part-time jobs will be lost with the closure.
