Glynn’s First Career Goal Not Enough For Lakers
The Oswego State field hockey team fell to Cortland by a score of 7-2 for their first loss in SUNYAC play. With the loss, the Lakers drop to 5-4 on the season while the Red Dragons move to 10-3.
Cortland opened the scoring in the first half thanks to goals from four different Red Dragons. They would take that lead into halftime and added two additional scores early in the second half including Jess Gibaldi’s second of the game. It was not until the 68th minute that Oswego would get on the board. However, for freshman Theresa Glynn, it will be one that she remembers as it was the first of her career. Kathleen Little would also put one in the back of the net for the Lakers to go along with her assist.
Oswego will look to get back into the win column on Saturday when they travel to Geneseo to take on the Knights in another SUNYAC matchup.

Approval of Additional Funding for HEAP
Senator Schumer announced yesterday that the U.S. department of Health and Human Services will be allocating over $326 million to the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).
Many New York residents rely on this service to pay their heating bills during the winter.
Schumer and Gillibrand pushed to have the highest level of funding possible given to this program. Schumer says that this decision will force fewer people to decide between food and heat this winter. The senators say that October marks the beginning of the heating season.
HEAP helps hundreds of thousands of seniors and low income families, according to Schumer.

Oswego Farmer’s Market season extended
By Xuefan Shi
OSWEGO, NY– The Oswego Farmer’s Market held every Thursday on West First Street was supposed to close for the season by October 5th. This year the market will extend their season an extra two weeks.
The Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, the non-profit organization in charge of the farmers market, cooperated with the city of Oswego to extend their season a few more weeks.
Oswego Farmer’s Market Manager Gene Schoonmakerfranczek said that the extension is the result of apple season. “This is the middle of apple country. And we are still in the middle of apple season. It is not so fair for the farmers to quit that early.”
GMB Beckens Farm Owner Sherri Bauer said she found out when she arrived at the market and is is very excited about the extension.The last day of the Oswego Farmer’s Market will be Thursday, October 19, until next Spring. Farmers from the market will continue to travel to Syracuse where a farmers market will be held until Thanksgiving day.
