Fake ID’s Seized Following joint effort to Combat Underage Drinking
This past weekend, members of the Police Department along with investigators from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, SUNY Oswego police officers and local business owners; worked together to try and combat underage drinking and the use of fake ID’s.
Over 24 people were issued citations for attempting to use fake identification on Friday night. All fake ID’s were confiscated by DMV investigators.
The operation was conducted at three bars on West Bridge Street; Alley Cat’s on 23 W. Bridge Street, The Raven on 39 W. Bridge Street and The Sting on 49 W. Bridge Street.
This initiative is part of Governor Cuomo’s “No Excuses” Campaign which has conducted sweeps called “Operation Prevent” across the state to prevent underage drinking in New York State and keep New York Roadway’s safe.
Mayor Billy Barlow has been outspoken about the efforts made to prevent underage drinking, saying “The collaborative effort between local law enforcement, DMV investigators, local bar owners, SUNY Oswego and the city of Oswego, emphasizes the importance of these types of sweeps in our community.”

New Art pieces in Oswego
OSWEGO, N.Y. -If you’ve walked through the quad lately, you’ve seen that Oswego has new sculptures on campus. The set of sculptures were a response to renovation work that was being done on Tyler Hall. The sculptures range from large red spikes representing connection or lack thereof with earth, to a sculpture that animals can live in blurring the lines between humans and nature.
The six pieces aren’t just local art, two of them hail from North Carolina and the other four from all across New York state. The Lifestyles Center will be co-hosting an event with the Student Art Exhibit Committee on October 19. #CelebrateSculpture will be held in the quad featuring the artists who built the sculptures, who will answer questions and talk about their experiences.
The large red piece is titled Prince, by Fredrick Douglas Schatz. This work is meant to be a self portrait. He said that it was a comment on the harmony and lack of harmony between each person and the earth that we inhabit.

Enactus Club
OSWEGO, NY – If you’re a Business Management major and you’re looking to take the next stop to follow your dreams, then the Enactus program is the club for you. Enactus is an international organization with 1600 universities across 37 countries totaling around 60,000 plus students. I asked Spencer Wieland, senior vice-president of the Enactus Club to determine how do you prepare for the business world.
You can get a lot of real world experience joining Enactus or other organization (Weiland said). Enactus gives you the opportunity to do various projects in the community. Not only help the community but to actually get the real world experience of marketing and accounting.
The Enactus team will be traveling to Washington D.C. on the starting on March 28th and ending the 29th. Weiland claimed that they’re going to present a digitized project where we install new technology in the business such as a (POS System). If the team is successful enough, then they will be traveling to St. Louis later. (Date will be announced at a later date.)
To those that want to be successful in the business world in the future. Weiland states that a high GPA means a lot but doesn’t mean too much if you don’t have any real world experience. “Get involved!”
