Congratulations to all the athletes who make the commitment and dedication to their favorite sports, and to the supportive parents who make sure to remember their uniforms, accessories, equipment and all those times traveling to away games.

In a recent letter entitled “In His Own Words,” Louella LeClair questioned the use of truthful statements made by a friend of mine and your current Oswego County Legislator.
