Oswego Campus Adapts to Laker Print
SUNY Oswego students who frequently print their essays 15 minutes before their 8 a.m. class, can rejoice. A faster system used to print documents called “Laker print” has been introduced on campus just in time for the spring semester.
Laker print is designed to be a more efficient way to print documents on campus by cutting back on waste caused by banner pages and forgotten documents. The system allows students to upload their documents by either email or direct file upload. Students can then print out their documents at any laker print station on campus within 48 hours.
“It’s awesome!” says Oswego student Leo Karr. “The website is convenient because you can prep everything by uploading it to the website. Then you can just go to the printer station.”
While some students have embraced the change to laker print, others are not quite used to it yet.
“I have to go to one computer to have it sent to laker print, then I have to go to another computer to open laker print and print it out,” says Oswego student Stephanie Phipps, “so it’s kind of annoying.”
While there is a difference of opinion about Laker print, CTS Chief of Technology Officer Sean Moriarity says the transition has been nothing but smooth.
“I give tremendous credit to our client’s services team.” says Moriarity. “They really made it a focus to make sure that is we introduced (Laker print) to students, it would go as smoothly as possible.”

City of Oswego, Port Authority officials take construction feud to court
OSWEGO N.Y. — Construction of a storage facility at the port, meant for the transport of pot-ash or salt, is now at a standstill after city officials took the Port Authority to court.
“Their whole attitude should have been one of picking up the phone and talking to us,” the Executive Director of the Port Authority, William Scriber said.
Now, Port Authority officials are trying to prove that the structure will help the city if completed.
“With this project, we’re putting a lot of money into this local economy,” Scriber said.
Scriber explained that the port runs as its own business, creating jobs, and opening opportunities for the local economy without the help of tax money. But Mayor Barlow said they are going about the project in the wrong way – upset that the structure will block the view of the iconic Oswego lighthouse coming into the city.
“What would really be the win is for the port to build what they originally proposed, that being the 55 foot dome..What you can do is completely skirt the entire review process,” Mayor Billy Barlow said.
What stands now is a roughly 68-70 foot tall square structure, something city officials said they never agreed on. But Scriber said the height difference won’t change that view of the lighthouse from the Marina.

But Fort Ontario on the other hand is a historical view of the lighthouse, and Scriber said that was the view that they worked through with the SHPO review – where the State Historic Preservation Office reviewed and eventually approved the initial proposal of the 55 foot dome.
“The view of the Fort is not in the least obstructed by the building,” Scriber added.
City residents are split, some feeling as though the structure isn’t a big deal, and others agreeing with the Mayor. Lee Chetney is a city resident who said the view of the lighthouse is going to be, ”forever changed.”“You used to be able to come into the city…and ‘wow, I made it to Oswego, and look at how beautiful it is’ now they put that thing up and I hope they take it down because it’s just terrible,” city resident Lee Chetney said.
