Fresh off a “once in a lifetime” summer trip to Europe following a breakthrough campaign, the Oswego State women’s soccer team is poised to check more items off its bucket list.

The Lakers open the new season hosting Wilkes in a nonconference game at 3 p.m. today at Laker Turf Stadium.

Oswego finished 9-7-1 overall last season and hosted the first SUNYAC playoff game in program history. Despite roughly half the roster consisting of new players, the team is determined to build on that success.

Editor’s note: By C. H. J. Snider in “Schooner Days,” Toronto Telegram, Jan. 31, 1931, used with permission, detailing the experience of J. J. O’Connor, an old-time lake sailor, of a harrowing voyage on Lake Ontario.

“In August, 1875, I was before the mast in the Mary Ann Lydon, when she was bound down Lake Ontario for Oswego with a cargo of lumber from Whitby. We were under full sail in mid lake with a brisk southwest wind pushing helpfully over the starboard beam and a perfectly clear sky.

When someone arrives at City Hall and needs a copy of their birth certificate, a clerk must enter a vault, carefully remove the appropriate bound book and gingerly open it.

Despite the painstaking process, which is meant to be as gentle as possible, the city’s older vital records dating back to the 1880s — birth certificates, death certificates and marriage licenses — are steadily deteriorating each time they’re removed to make a copy.

The city of Oswego plans to address that problem with the help of a recently awarded grant that will assist the Oswego City Clerk’s Office with digitizing its vital records.

The New York State Archives has awarded the city $57,565 from its Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund, which helps local governments improve records management and archival administration.

An Oswego man was sentenced to 14 years in prison on Tuesday on three counts of possession of child po*******hy.

Daniel LaRock, 21, was on probation for a previous conviction of promoting the s*xual performance of a child.

During his previously entered guilty plea, LaRock admitted that he was convicted of promoting the s*xual performance by a child in June 2024 in Oswego County Court and sentenced to 10 years’ probation.

Later that same month, he possessed and distributed child po*******hy on multiple social media accounts, including videos depicting very young children engaged in s*x acts with adults.

“LaRock received an incredibly lenient sentence of 10 years’ probation by the Oswego County Court for committing essentially the same disgusting conduct less than two years ago,” Acting U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III said in a press release. “Not surprisingly, a sentence of probation for promoting the s*xual performance of a child neither deterred LaRock from committing the same type of offense again nor did it protect the public. My office will continue to work with our federal and state partners to charge and seek just punishment for people who possess child po*******hy.”

The Oswego County Land Bank has secured a $1 million grant that will be used to complete several property rehabilitations and the organization’s first new-build project at the site of a previous demolition in the city of Oswego.

The $1 million grant was awarded to the Land Bank through the state’s Homebuyer Development Program, which is administered by New York State Homes and Community Renewal. The Land Bank has identified four properties in the city of Oswego — including three complete rehabilitations and one new build — that will be improved with the funding starting later this year.

“We’re very excited about this funding and the positive impact it will have on the city’s east side,” said Kim Park, executive director of the Oswego County Land Bank. “These projects will build on the Land Bank’s previous work in the area, and continue to improve neighborhoods and residents’ quality of life. We are thankful to the state and all our partners, and we look forward to continuing our revitalization efforts in Oswego County.”

After changing policies and educating students more, SUNY Oswego has dramatically cut the number of emergency calls to campus.

As recently as the summer of 2024, the Town of Oswego Fire Department, which handles calls on the campus, was considering removing SUNY Oswego from its coverage area.

After meetings among SUNY Oswego President Peter Nwosu, Town of Oswego Supervisor Dan Gurney and leadership of the town fire department, an agreement was reached in July of 2024.

That same month, Nwosu announced that campus security would play a much larger role in responding to single-alarm activations on campus.

Mayor Rob Corradino delivered a warning on Monday to the Oswego Common Council after information shared during a recent executive session was leaked on social media.

During his remarks, Corradino never mentioned anyone by name, but his comments amounted to a rare rebuke of one branch of city government by the head of another branch.

“At this time I’d like to take a couple minutes to rehash something that I think is very, very important,” he said during the mayor’s report near the beginning of the council meeting.

A medium-sized marsupial that caught the attention of Oswego County residents in mid-June is back in the news.

Mac the Wallaby, who went missing from her home at G&G Animals on State Route 104 in the town of Oswego in mid-June, will be the subject of an upcoming children’s book.

G&G Animals owner Danny Oostdyk is showcasing Mac and 35 other animals at the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse.

Oostdyk’s wife, Alyse, will author the book about Mac and an employee of G&G will contribute artwork for the book and the cover.

“It’s a very cute book,” Danny Oostdyk said. “We’re still stuck on getting the front cover finalized.”

The Oswego Common Council approved the city’s 2026 budget on Monday, which includes a 0% tax increase after it passed the city’s first tax increase in eight years last year.

The $59,271,791 budget passed by a vote of 6-0 after councilors approved 11 separate budget amendments, most of which were clerical corrections. No one from the public spoke against or in favor of the budget.

The real estate tax levy will be $10.376 per $1,000 of assessed value, the same as last year. The total assessed value of property in the city is $1.3 billion.

“I’m very pleased that I was able to create a budget that was able to take care of all the needs of the city without a tax increase,” Mayor Rob Corradino said, adding that he owed a debt of gratitude to the department heads that helped with the budget process and provided input. “There were some difficult decision that had to be made.”

The Mexico varsity girls soccer team completed an unforgettable campaign with its first appearance in the Section III championship game last fall.

Despite losing eight seniors, including several who combined to form what head coach Martin Charles called the “backbone” of that squad, the Tigers have their sights set on following up that memorable run in the upcoming year.

Mexico will open the season with a nonleague game at 6 p.m. today at Indian River. The Tigers should again be among the top contenders in Class A while reshaping their roster around several key returning starters.

All Oswego County boys and girls varsity soccer teams will get started in the coming week.
