On August 24, I was guest conductor of the Fulton Community Band, at the invitation of its founder and director, Carol Fox. First I want to thank Oswego County Today and Steve Chirello for the coverage. I thank Carol and the band, who were active participants and to the audience which included former members of the GRB Band, which I directed many years ago.
We come to you today with so much love and appreciation for all of the strength and support that you have given us over the last six years; since the death of our beloved and dearly missed, Maggie Sue Wilcox. Now that all of their measures are solidly in place and all of the right people are hard at work, it is time for our rest and healing and remembering to begin. The MSGW Foundation and The Wilcox Mosquito Foundation (as well as our email and Facebook accounts) will now be dissolved and deactivated.
We have all heard about this I’m sure. We have all heard or read how our neighbor, the city of Oswego, has received money, lots of it, to accomplish its plan. Here in our city of Fulton, we have a group assembled to try and accomplish the same thing. They have tried once before and now they are trying again. I applaud them for their effort.
Our thanks go out to the Oswego County Emergency Management, and the Oswego County RACES group for the use of their communication trailer and antenna trailer; Paul Lear and his staff for the use of their beautiful facilities again this year; Scout Troop 825 out of Mexico for the use of their cook trailer; and all the many visitors who strolled on by and visited with our radio operators.

Yes, he requested that the Legislative body vote on adding more evening meetings and they honored his request. There will be evening meeting at 7 p.m. in July, August (Pulaski), September. Please join us.
Hello, my name is Mary L Horner and I am writing this letter in hopes that it will reach hearts and minds all across America – and I need your help to do this. I want, no, I need people to understand that there are many whom are suffering from chronic illnesses such as lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, Crohns … and there are thousands of us suffering in daily silence with the painful syndrome called fibromyalgia. It seems that no one is able to understand the chronic pain it causes as well as the strain it has put on people’s lives and families.
As more and more people use needles and syringes to manage their medical conditions outside of hospitals and health centers, residents of many towns and villages have seen an increased number of improperly disposed of needles and syringes. Improper disposal of these medical “sharps” make all residents, especially children, vulnerable to serious injuries. To identify locations of these sharps, determine the needs of managing these medical wastes, and explore ways to make our community safe from medical-sharp-related health hazards, the Health Department will compile information about improperly disposed of needles and syringes throughout the county.
Over the past two years everyone that either lives or has passed through the city of Fulton from the south entrance via route 481 has viewed our FREE demolition of the Nestle site.
For more than a year, a group of Oswego non-profits navigated through pitfalls, around walls and over hurdles to see the first-ever Bemelmans Festival to a reality.
