The position of Family Court Judge is one of the most important positions in Oswego County, as the judge can set the future of a young person. A Family Court Judge must show compassion and common sense besides knowing the law.
The United Way of Oswego County extends a sincere thank you to the many volunteers and sponsors whose commitment to the United Way 2014 Golf Classic again made the event an outstanding success. This year’s golf tournament, which featured morning and afternoon flights, hosted 46 teams and raised more than $29,000.
While we have been questioning the future of the drive-in there has been a seemingly endless stream of automobiles pulling over to the side of the road or pulling into the driveway with folks getting out of their cars to stand quietly and to gaze upon the mangled screen tower, as though at a wake paying their final respects; many capturing photos for remembrance. There has been an amazing outpouring from the community through personal emails, visits at the theatre and through social media.
Yet another headline: 52,000 unaccompanied children caught crossing the border since October. I read it again and reflect on each word: 52,000…unaccompanied…children…caught…crossing…border.

You may plan to reduce the size and cost of County Government, but let’s face it – it’s not happening. Our government is expanding at all levels as you seek to provide certain basic services to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people in exchange for taxation.

It has come to my attention that Oswego County BOCES is scaling back on some of the automotive trades classes offered to adults. BOCES trains adults who have lost their jobs, giving them the opportunity through classroom education and “hands-on” knowledge/training to learn new skills in the auto repair business. Now that BOCES is undergoing a renovation project, only 5 of the current 8 garage bays will be available to youth and adult students.
The BUC School is a different kind of school. It encourages kids from seventh to eighth grade to study and be able to function better in their adult lives. This is what we call the Big Picture” School. Kids don’t just memorize facts from textbooks and later forget all about them afterwards.
Don’t ask, don’t tell. That is the motto of the Oswego County Legislature. It’s just a little bit different with them it is more, if you don’t ask we won’t tell. If you do ask, it is like you just committed a capital crime. Let me explain if I can in as few words as possible.
